The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Bai Feng nodded. At least in the information she had, there was no indication that the Reincarnated One could live underwater.

　The hunter, Jieyun, reloaded the Dragonstrike Crossbow. "Could it be that the Skeleton Dragon is planning to drag the World Lord to the bottom of the water and strangle him?"

　"Given the habits and intelligence of the Bone Dragon, it is indeed very possible." The Moga Hunter should know best that the resistance generated by moving the body underwater would greatly consume stamina, let alone the enormous body of the Reincarnated Lord. Walking in the water would require a lot of energy. If the Reincarnated Lord's stamina is almost exhausted, that might be the time when the Bone Dragon drags the Reincarnated Lord to the bottom of the lake.

　In fact, as an Elder Dragon, the Bone Dragon is hard to beat. Many monsters can't even withstand a single blow from it. But it's a different story when facing another Elder Dragon, the World Lord. The Bone Dragon swings its tentacles and covers itself with any two of the following: Flame Bone, Burst Bone, Thunder Bone, and Heavy Bone. These belong to the Glavenus, Brachydios, Lagiacrus, and Ragnaros.

　The skeletal dragon attached these bone fragments to the ends of its tentacles, continuously spraying blue ink at the Reincarnated Lord while using these bone fragments to unleash special attribute attacks. Each time these tentacles extended above the water, even if the Reincarnated Lord did not see them with his eyes, the scales would tell him the location of the tentacles. After the tentacles lost their grip, the skeletal dragon would manipulate them to quickly sink to the bottom of the water.

　The Wanderer was disgusted by this situation where he couldn't encounter any enemies, and kept tearing apart the dragon bones on the ground with his wing claws, but the cunning skeleton dragon always made a use of these dragon bones.

　Just then, the Lord of Reincarnation thought of something and immediately turned his body and flew into the air. A faint blue flame was already showing at the corner of his mouth. The Lord of Reincarnation then opened his mouth and sprayed azure flames at the piles of white bones on the lake surface. "Roar!" The azure flames swept across the dragon bone ground like a sharp blade, instantly cutting the dragon bones on the lake surface as if cutting butter.

　Under the scorching heat of the plasma beam, the dragon bones instantly carbonized and shattered into powder. Watching large pieces of the dragon bones fall away, the skeletal dragon underwater realized what the World Lord was about to do. Tentacles stretched out from the chaotic lake surface, waving wildly, and then sprayed blue ink at the World Lord in the sky.

　Neither Bai Feng nor the Phantom Hunters, the Bokai Hunters, nor the Kokot Hunters believed that the World Lord would fall for the attack. Sure enough, the World Lord skillfully dodged the blue ink and then fired a beam of light at the ground. Bai Feng was all too familiar with this move. Moreover, to understand the power of this move, one only needed to look at the ground of the Valley of Tranquility and the restricted area of ​​the village of Sinard.

　Soon, under the powerful breath of the Reincarnated One, the dragon bones shattered one by one and sank to the bottom of the lake. This greatly reduced the area where the hunters could move around. Most of the dragon strike crossbows and restraining bullets that were originally set up next to the dragon bones were also burned by the Reincarnated One's flames. The remaining ones could not be used because the water level rose due to the dragon bones falling into the lake. All the hunters present had to climb up to a higher place along the dragon bones by the lake to avoid being injured by the dragon bone fragments and being drowned.

　The hunters stared wide-eyed at the scene before them: the battle between the World Lord and the Skeleton Dragon, two ancient dragon species. This was a sight that hunters might never witness in their entire lives. Of course, what they then saw was a sight they would never forget.

　It turns out that the Bone Dragon, despite being called an Ancient Dragon, is actually more like a strange mollusk, which is why the hunters of the Dragon Academy have never understood how the Bone Dragon attacked airships and dragons.

　Dragonkin scholars believe that the Skeleton Dragon traps airships by spraying mucus, rendering them unable to fly. It then waits on the sea surface for the airships to land before crushing them and dragging them here. However, this does not apply to wyvern species. As for wyvern monsters, scholars think that the Skeleton Dragon probably extends its tentacles out of the sea to disguise itself as prey, thus luring wyverns to descend in altitude. When the wyverns think they have captured their prey, the Skeleton Dragon suddenly attacks, wraps its tentacles around the prey, sinks to the bottom of the water to drown it, and then takes it back to its lair to eat.

　This hypothesis was accepted by all the hunters and scholars present.

　While this may be acknowledged by some, in reality, the skeletal dragons would saturate with water, using their tentacles to spin and push aside the seawater to generate initial velocity, before suddenly ejecting it from their mouthparts to burst out of the water and prey on flying dragons and shoot down airships.

　because.

　After the Lord of Rebirth destroyed the numerous dragon bones, the surface of the underground lake rippled continuously. The Lord of Rebirth was carefully observing the water when the skeletal dragon burst out of the water and crashed into the Lord of Rebirth. Its two tentacles tightly wrapped around the Lord of Rebirth's wing claws and tightened continuously. The dragon bones attached to the tentacles rubbed against the Lord of Rebirth's scales, producing a harsh creaking sound. Under the skeletal dragon's desperate entanglement, large pieces of the Lord of Rebirth's wing claws and the white-gold scales on its back broke off at the point where the two dragons made contact. The Lord of Rebirth did not have much time left.

　Because at this moment, the skeletal dragon had already dragged the World Lord down into the underground lake.

　Although the skeleton dragon's abdomen and tentacles were also slashed open by the blade scales and wing claws of the World Lord, and blue blood gushed out immediately, the skeleton dragon did not let go. If it could only suffer this little injury, such a huge prey would be more than enough for the skeleton dragon.

　After being entangled by the skeleton dragon, the Wanderer could not move its wings and claws and lost its ability to fly. The two dragons tangled together and crashed into the underground lake with a "bang!" The splashing water drenched the hunters. Ignoring the wet armor, the hunters wiped the water off their faces and looked anxiously into the lake.

　This was the first time Lanmei had ever seen anything like it. She stared in disbelief as the skeleton dragon that had entangled Huishizhu swam toward the bottom of the lake. As far as she knew, Huishizhu was quite powerful underwater, but Lanmei was prepared to revert to her Lanlong form.

　Bai Feng, also from the New World, watched the undulating lake surface nervously. After all, if the lake surface really calmed down, it would prove that things were really as the Kokot hunter said, that the Bone Dragon would drag the World Lord to the bottom of the water and drown him.

　“Look there, Brother Kokot, the lake is brightening up.”

　Several bright beams of light pierced the azure surface of the lake, instantly evaporating the water. The lake then began to boil. The Reincarnated One, carrying a giant tentacle in its mouth, burst through the water. Panting heavily, it took a big bite of the tentacle and swallowed it defiantly.

　Judging from the cross-section, Bai Feng thought that thing probably wouldn't taste good, but for the Reincarnated One and the others, it shouldn't be a problem.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Giant parasitic worms are marine mammals known for their ability to withstand hunger. One giant parasitic worm at a Japanese aquarium set a record for fasting for 5 years and 43 days, the longest such fast ever observed by humans.

　Volume 1: 338 - Open your mouth to get a nucleic acid test!

　After devouring part of the tentacle, the Reincarnated Dragon lowered its wings and let out a thunderous roar. The surrounding black and purple scales were blown away by the Reincarnated Dragon's roar, and platinum scales gradually appeared around the Reincarnated Dragon. The skeletal dragon, which had lost one tentacle, also emerged from the lake, waving its remaining tentacle and roaring at the Reincarnated Dragon. At the same time, a large number of red spots appeared on its body, and red and black lightning immediately wrapped around its remaining tentacle and body. Blue-black viscous mist spewed out from the holes on its back.

　The skeletal dragon retrieved the electric shell of the sea dragon from the bottom of the lake and attached it to its tentacles. The ends of the tentacles flashed with blue lightning and then slammed down on the spot where the Lord of Reincarnation was. As soon as the tentacles landed, they generated a large amount of lightning on the ground, but the Lord of Reincarnation had already jumped back a step.

　"Roar~" The Lord of the World exhaled a short breath, shattering the electric shell on the back of the sea dragon at the end of its tentacles. During its evolution, the ends of the skeleton dragon's tentacles had already evolved into mouth-like nozzles, from which the skeleton dragon sprayed highly viscous bodily fluids and incredibly destructive dragon-attribute rays.

　The instant the sea dragon's electric shell was shattered, the platinum dragon flapped its wings and flew up, crashing directly into the skeleton dragon. The skeleton dragon spewed out red and black dragon-attribute breath from the ends of its tentacles and its huge mouth. The Reincarnation Lord turned its body to the side, constantly climbing and turning its head to dodge the skeleton dragon's attacks. The Reincarnation Lord also continuously spewed out azure flames to burn away the dragon bones on the skeleton dragon's body.

　The broken dragon bones couldn't withstand the blazing light of the Lord of Rebirth. The skeletal dragon's back was instantly burned to a bloody mess. The skeletal dragon had no choice but to dive back into the water to retrieve the dragon bones and stick them back to its body. The Lord of Rebirth took the opportunity to ram into the skeletal dragon. The skeletal dragon opened its four-lobed maw, wanting to engage in close combat with the Lord of Rebirth. The tentacles wrapped around the shattered dragon bone fragments lashed out at the Lord of Rebirth. At the same time, a beam of azure light struck the skeletal dragon's back, and the Lord of Rebirth had already bitten the skeletal dragon's tentacle, slamming it against the rock wall.

　"Bang!" The Resurrected One bit off another tentacle of the Bone Dragon, tore off a piece and swallowed it, then slammed the tentacle heavily to the ground. At this moment, blue blood was gushing from the back of the Bone Dragon, which had been pierced by the azure beam. Its gradually whitening body seemed motionless and slowly slid towards the bottom of the lake. The Resurrected One stared intently at the Bone Dragon before him. Judging from the Resurrected One's scale powder perception, the Bone Dragon's metabolism was slowing down, its heart's pumping ability was gradually decreasing, and its body was becoming stiff. Looking at the motionless Bone Dragon, everyone present, whether it was the hunter, the Resurrected One, or Lan Mei, felt that the Bone Dragon had entered a state of death.

　But is that really the case?

　The skeletal dragon entered the miasma dragon state. With the continuous exhalation of its breath, a large amount of dragon-attribute energy accumulated in its mouth. Just when everyone thought the skeletal dragon was dead and wondered how to deal with the Reincarnated Lord, the skeletal dragon that had fallen into the lake suddenly opened its mouth, and a huge dragon-attribute breath that was enough to cover the entire area immediately covered the Reincarnated Lord's body.

　"What! Feigning death?" The hunters shouted in confusion as they fled from the range of the miasma dragon's breath.

　The extremely powerful dragon breath instantly shattered the platinum scales of the Reincarnation Lord, leaving the exposed areas beneath the scales a bloody mess. Dark purple dragon blood flowed down the scales. The Bone Dragon's miasma breath could also be called the Miasma Dragon Cannon, or Genesis.

　The Bone Dragon's Genesis continued its sweeping attack on the Reincarnation Lord, attempting to defeat it completely. Ignoring the pain, the Reincarnation Lord immediately leaped into the air, dodging the breath attack, and landed on the other side. Then, with the Reincarnation Lord's roar, the earth's ley line energy rapidly activated, and waves of light and flame rippled across the ground. The Reincarnation Lord's wounds began to heal rapidly, with new flesh and scales quickly covering the injured areas. The Reincarnation Lord glared angrily at the giant squid before it, having already sentenced it to death in its heart.

　However, the Bone Dragon's Genesis did not stop. After adjusting its direction, the Bone Dragon once again spewed Genesis containing the Xyz Dragon attribute at the World Lord, while the World Lord lowered its wing claws and opened its mouth to spew an even thicker laser cannon at the Bone Dragon.

　The collision of the red-black and azure beams instantly evaporated the water on the lake's surface, and strange particles spread out continuously, making the entire space foggy. As the dragon's attributes and stamina were depleted, the Genesis of the Skeleton Dragon began to be suppressed by the Reincarnation Lord's laser cannon. The Reincarnation Lord flapped its wings violently, blowing away the surrounding scales and fog. The azure beam that the Reincarnation Lord forcefully spewed out was constantly thickening, and eventually the Skeleton Dragon could not withstand it. At the same time, the Reincarnation Lord's laser cannon completely engulfed the Skeleton Dragon.

　The Lord of Reincarnation is supported by the earth's vein energy. The fact that the Skeleton Dragon could exchange blows with the Lord of Reincarnation for so long proves that the Skeleton Dragon is no ordinary creature. This shows just how unimaginable the dragon attributes that this monster, the Skeleton Dragon, possesses are.

　Under the azure beam of light, the dragon bones on the skeletal dragon's body were completely burned to dust, and the exposed skin was covered with crisscrossing burn marks. It even smelled of barbecue. Before the skeletal dragon could react, the wiser Hui Shi Zhu pounced on the skeletal dragon and slammed it into the wall. Hui Shi Zhu used the simplest method, taking advantage of its size, to pin the skeletal dragon to the ground. The skeletal dragon's remaining four tentacles kept pounding on Hui Shi Zhu's body, but it was all in vain.

　After Hui Shizhu used her wing claws to hold the skeleton dragon in place, she sprayed a beam of azure light at the skeleton dragon's mouth. Without the protection of the dragon bones, the skeleton dragon's mouthparts could not withstand Hui Shizhu's breath at all. Then, Hui Shizhu burned a hole large enough for her wing claws to pass through. Soon, the skeleton dragon's struggling movements became weaker and weaker, and the light and red spots emanating from its body gradually dimmed, eventually losing its life force.

　Just as the World-Returning Lord was relieved, she immediately sensed something ominous. "Boom!" The dead skeletal dragon struggled to release its last bit of dragon-attribute energy into the air, causing the massive dragon bone atop the underground lake to shatter and fall, letting in a large amount of sunlight.

　"Tear~" The enraged Reincarnation Lord forcefully tore the skeleton dragon's body into eight pieces, took out the remnant jade from its body, and stuffed it directly into its mouth. The dragon jade was chewed up and swallowed by the Reincarnation Lord like a candy. The surrounding hunters had already fled to a safe place. Just as Lanmei was about to jump down, she suddenly felt a strange but extremely dangerous aura.

　The man in black had followed the scent of the Phantom Troupe hunters to get here, but he hadn't expected the welcoming ceremony to be so enthusiastic. He almost got hit by Osutgarora's breath as soon as he arrived. The man in black stared with his glassy eyes and then found the Phantom Troupe hunters and the baby dragon.

　As Hui Shizhu was enjoying a grilled octopus, the spiky-haired man appeared before her. In terms of age, although he was the youngest in the Alatreon clan and far less powerful than the clan leader, he was a true elder of the ancient dragons compared to the "little" guy in front of him. He was also on this trip for training, and of course, if it weren't for that old woman's nagging, he wouldn't have bothered to come out.

　As for the person he had his eye on, it was naturally that hunter from the guild, but now he felt there were other things to do.

　"Hey, little brat, what are you doing here? Did you kill Ossugarora?"

　"Osla?"

　"It's Eustega, tsk, that's why I don't like children."

　Are you going to steal all the meat too?

　"Ah, who wants it? What are you doing? Get out of here."

　The Reincarnation Lord was somewhat sensitive, so much so that she pounced directly on the man in black. The man in black reacted immediately, and after black scales appeared on his body, he jumped away to avoid the Reincarnation Lord's attack. "Hey, you little thing, behave yourself and listen to what people are saying."

　For disobedient children, a beating is the best solution. Just as the man in black was about to throw a magma ball at the Reincarnation Lord, "Bang!" the Reincarnation Lord slammed the man in black into the rock layer with a claw. Of course, like the Power Man, the man in black's hairstyle remained unchanged, and he was completely dumbfounded, staring at the Reincarnation Lord's open mouth.

　"What are you going to do? I am..."

　Before the man in black could finish speaking, the azure plasma flames had already filled his entire field of vision.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: The Skeleton Dragon was initially designed as a zombie dragon, but it was later given themes for the Giant Trident Dragon and the Vaal Hazak Dragon. A design draft of a two-headed serpent was also mentioned in the magazine, intended to guard ancient treasures, and was placed alongside an illustration of a Dragon Slayer. Additionally, in the Dragon Graveyard illustration, two enormous dragon bones can be seen. In fact, TGY points out that these are not the bones of known monsters; if one had to say, they are the bones of monsters that ruled this area in ancient times.

　PS3: Have a wonderful and pleasant day, everyone!

　Volume 1: 339 - A Hasty Hunt

　Far away in the divine realm, the black dragon suddenly opened its eyes, its azure pupils filled with confusion. What was that thing just now? Are all kids these days so temperamental?

　Generally speaking, Elder Dragons either transform into human form or use their own materials, such as scales, to create a doll that resembles a remote camera. In this case, the main body usually stays in a safe place to hibernate, just like Alatreon chose to stay in the deepest part of the sea. Alatreon's original plan was to lure the Phantom Troupe hunters to the Divine Realm to hunt it down, but it didn't expect to encounter this strange guy here.

　The Reincarnation Lord in the cave didn't care much about the missing man in black. She could sense that this guy was different from those upright creatures wearing armor. The Reincarnation Lord walked to the lakeside, dragged the skeleton dragon's corpse to the shore, stepped on the skeleton dragon's corpse, and then bit into the skeleton dragon's body. Her sharp teeth kept tearing off the thick flesh, and then swallowed it.

　"White Wind, Brigade Hunters, what do you think we should do now?" Among the hunters who had watched the two Elder Dragons fight the whole way, the Kokot hunter was the first to ask.

　After all, among the hunters present, none were more familiar with the Revenant than Bai Feng and the Phantom Troupe hunters. As a Phantom Troupe hunter who had successfully defeated the Celestial Dragon, he knew best the Celestial Dragon's power; Bai Feng from the New World was most familiar with the Revenant, and she had even faced it directly in the Forbidden Zone. Nevertheless, in the Revenant's recent battle with the Skeleton Dragon, the hunters had clearly understood the Revenant's true combat strength.

　If a fight were to be fought, Bai Feng had absolutely no hope of success. Their information was far too limited. Needless to say, they had no idea what kind of habits this monster had or what kind of actions it would take.

　Speaking of what we know so far, all we know is that the physique of the Revenant is far beyond that of ordinary monsters. In addition to using the Mad Dragon Virus to attack, the Revenant can also use ley line energy to attack. Moreover, it can also use the Crimson Emperor's Azure Star of the Fatalis. Speaking of this, Bai Feng couldn't help but think that there were no shrouds left behind by the Fatalis or the Xeno'jiiva during their molting period here. In this environment, if the Revenant were to release the Crimson Emperor's Azure Star, even the Palicoes wouldn't be able to save them.

　“I think it’s better if we don’t act rashly. Although the Lord of Reincarnation just finished fighting the Bone Dragon, everyone can see that he didn’t use his full strength. Besides, the place here is not suitable for fighting.”

　During the battle between the Reincarnation Lord and the Skeleton Dragon, Bai Feng finally witnessed the Reincarnation Lord releasing platinum scales. The leader of the third phase of the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team, combining the ecology of the Sky Reincarnation Dragon and the Crimson Dragon, speculated that the platinum scales might be mutated scales produced by this Reincarnation Lord. Of course, at that time, the Reincarnation Lord was only the King Crimson Black Eclipse Dragon. According to the ecological habits of the Sky Reincarnation Dragon, its offspring would definitely inherit some characteristics of the host. In addition, the King Crimson Black Eclipse Dragon is a monster hatched from the body of the Crimson Dragon, so this inference is obviously very reasonable.

　"But according to Bai Feng and the hunters of the guild, the Mad Dragon Virus and the manipulation of the ley line energy of the Reincarnation Lord have proven that its destruction of the ecological environment is not to be underestimated. If it is left unchecked here, the consequences may be even more serious than those of the Skeleton Dragon. Even so, you are still unwilling to put hunting the Reincarnation Lord as your top priority?"

　"

　Generally, when an unknown Elder Dragon is discovered in a village or when an Elder Dragon is moving towards the village, the Elder Dragon Observatory will be the first to receive the news. Just like when Teostra turns the desert into crystal clear glass overnight, Kushala Daora carries a storm that destroys the earth, or Kirin wrapped in lightning, these Elder Dragons will be investigated by hunters after they appear. In addition, the Elder Dragon Observatory will also often release balloons to check if any Elder Dragons have appeared.

　However, since the number of balloons at the Ancient Dragon Observatory is limited, most of the time hunters and travelers rely on ground exploration. In addition, observers riding in balloons can use binoculars to observe from the air. Once they know the approximate location of the target, they can then ride the balloon to the destination, which greatly increases the chances of finding the target.

　Once the appearance of an Elder Dragon is confirmed, the Hunter's Guild and the Elder Dragon Observatory will send specialists to investigate the Elder Dragon information and ensure that the Elder Dragon is constantly monitored for the latest developments. Only in this way can they react immediately if any changes occur.

　Elder dragons are terrifying beings, some hunters spending their entire lives without ever encountering one. Their power is so great that it can shake the very fabric of nature; calling them a natural disaster wouldn't be an exaggeration. They are creatures shrouded in mystery, their ecology and habits shrouded in enigma.

　Therefore, the Hunter Gathering Hall, the Elder Dragon Observatory, and the Dragon Age Institute are all very strict about information regarding the appearance of Elder Dragons. After all, if news of the appearance of Elder Dragons is casually released to the public, the situation will definitely descend into chaos if the Gathering Hall is not fully prepared.

　Once the Guild Hall receives the report from the Elder Dragon Observatory, it will immediately announce to the public the serious situation of the Elder Dragon's appearance. The Guild will also warn hunters, merchants, and ordinary travelers who frequently travel to the surrounding cities to avoid going out during this period. Furthermore, it will dispatch craftsmen to strengthen and reinforce the city's defenses, assuming the Elder Dragon will eventually reach the village. The Dragon Academy did exactly the same thing when it discovered the skeletal dragon, immediately gathering hunters to discuss countermeasures.

　"Oh, you must be Bai Feng, the leader of the fifth team of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group. I thought you would be all muscle like the Bokai Hunter, but I didn't expect you to be such a beautiful young lady."

　"Miss?" Bai Feng was at a loss for what to do and could only stare at the other person with wide eyes, an expression that rarely appeared on her face.

　“I am a hunter from Pokai Village, this is from Kokot Village, this is from Yukumo Village, and this is from Moga Village.”

　The guild hunter shook hands with the legendary hunters and said, "I am a guild hunter from Barbare."

　"Young man, you're using a greatsword?! That was a really powerful strike! You've got real manly spirit!"

　"Hmm! Looks like you're quite good at this too!"

　Bai Feng stared blankly at the two hunters from the Phantom Troupe and the Kokot hunter who had hit it off immediately after meeting. At the suggestion of Yuuko, who had remained silent all along, the six of them went to the local tavern together. After the dishes they ordered were served one by one, the hunters present first toasted to celebrate their gathering, and then began to eat heartily.

　Thanks to the efforts of the Hunter's Guild and the Dragon Academy, the discovery of the skeletal dragon did not cause any disturbances, but a somber atmosphere still permeated the city.

　Of course, there are exceptions in the battles between hunters and Elder Dragons. For example, some monsters will have their scales break off when attacked. In such cases, simply picking up the scales and leaving the hunting grounds minimizes the danger. Even against an Elder Dragon, if the goal remains consistently to obtain the Radiant Scales of the Elder Dragon, the challenge is worthwhile.

　Volume 1: Chapter 340 - The Adventures of Meralu

　This was originally the normal procedure, but now, the hunters don't have much time left to think, and they know very well what they need to do.

　Bokai Hunter checked his backpack. First, he had enough LV1-3 and LV1-3 normal ammo and piercing ammo. Although the Night Cannon [Black Wind] could use shotguns, he decided not to carry them because the target was large. For elemental ammo, Bokai Hunter carried fire and electric ammo, and also prepared ice ammo just in case. He had plenty of these ammo left. Other items included recovery potions and large recovery potions.

　The hunter's weapon is a katana with vibrant blue and gold trim. Its most unique feature is the absence of any curve in the blade. Compared to other greatswords, this one is slightly thicker, making it resemble a greatsword. Because it's crafted from materials from the Zinogre dragon, it crackles with blue lightning when swung.

　Cloud Hunters really like this.

　Just as the hunters were checking their equipment and discussing the hunt, Bai Feng glanced inadvertently in the direction of the Reincarnation Lord. She then realized that the Reincarnation Lord's crimson-gold pupils were locked onto them. Even so, the Reincarnation Lord was still chewing on the skeletal dragon's tentacle, its cold eyes revealing no emotion. This immediately made Bai Feng tense.

　The Reincarnation Lord remained on alert and did not seem to intend to attack immediately, allowing the hunters to carefully observe its massive body. The first thing that caught their attention about the Reincarnation Lord was its enormous wing claws and the giant horns that twisted and grew backward due to its vigorous life force, which gave the Reincarnation Lord an overall impression of being very robust.

　Her body was covered in platinum scales, the blade-like scales on her arms, back, and tail gleaming with a chilling light. Her teeth were incredibly sharp, fangs as thick as human arms protruding from her tightly closed mouth. The hunters knew that even the finest armor crafted by the workshop owner wouldn't be enough to protect them from such a bite, and this immediately sent a chill down their spines.

　Furthermore, the head of the World Lord alone was several times the size of the hunter's body, and its eyes, as large as a human head, were staring intently at the hunter in front of it.

　It is reddish-gold in color.

　The World Lord's eyes shone with a deep, crimson gold, like blood-stained gold. His extremely sharp gaze pierced through Bai Feng and the others in an instant, and the hunters present seemed to be unable to move for a moment.

　"The pressure they exert is truly extraordinary!"

　Bai Feng had imagined countless times what form the Lord of Reincarnation would take before him—whether it would be exciting, oppressive, or terrifying. However, the actual scene was much quieter than Bai Feng had imagined. But it wasn't just quiet; it was a quiet accompanied by a tense atmosphere as if it were ice, which was very much in line with the Lord of Reincarnation's oppressive body.

　At this moment, Hui Shi took the initiative.

　The massive body of the Reincarnation Lord moved with incredible speed. Its right wing claw rose high, and it stomped the ground with its remaining four legs. Then it stomped towards the Bokai Hunter who had launched the sniping attack. The hunter, who had already made his attack move, could not dodge at this moment. The Reincarnation Lord's wing claw hit the target head-on with a whooshing sound. With what seemed like a casual strike, the Bokai Hunter was sent flying.

　"Hey, danger!"

　The Lord of the World was about to launch a follow-up attack on the fallen Bokai hunter when the other hunters rushed forward and launched their respective attacks. The hunter Yuyun, who was using the King Fang Blade [Flying Thunder], took the lead with his agile movements. His target was the Lord of the World's left hind leg, because it was a long distance from the Lord of the World's head and not easy to be countered.

　The Kokot hunter wielding the Rathalos Hammer and Rathalos Smash Flagon approached from the other side, also smashing it towards the right hind leg of the World Lord. Meanwhile, the Moga hunter and the Phantom Troupe hunter, both wielding greatswords, launched attacks from the front, attempting to draw the World Lord's attention to ensure that the Yukumo hunter and the Kokot hunter attacking the World Lord's two hind legs would not be in danger.

　Taking advantage of the opportunity, the injured Pokai hunter hurriedly took a recovery potion and struggled to stand up again.

　Faced with this situation, Bai Feng hurriedly went to the only remaining Dragon Strike Crossbow beside him and immediately loaded the restraint bullet into the groove in the center of the device. After adjusting the direction using the two steering wheels at hand, he fired it at the Reincarnated Lord. After the restraint bullet was fired, it hit the Reincarnated Lord's body, and the fixing device then opened and tightly fastened the Reincarnated Lord's scales. The Reincarnated Lord directly turned its head and opened its mouth in the direction of the Dragon Strike Crossbow. Without thinking, Bai Feng jumped down.

　Under the pale blue beam of light, only a scorching mark remained at the scene.

　Bai Feng suddenly thought of something. Despite their fierce attack, the hunters were unable to stop the scales from filling the space again. Just as the hunters were exchanging glances to discuss their next move, Hui Shi Zhang spoke up. Instantly, the roar of the explosion robbed the hunters of their consciousness.

　In the dense forest, the young girl and Lanmei were sleeping together, snuggling together. Lanmei held the young girl in her arms, and a haori made by Youmu was draped over them. Just then, three black cats came running over in a panic.

　These all-black Palicoes, also known as Black Cats by hunters, are a subspecies called Meralu within the Palico population. Compared to Palicoes, Meralu are more mischievous, curious, and have a bad habit of stealing, earning them a bad reputation among hunters and the nickname "Thief Cat." However, not all Meralu are bad cats. Some Meralu, like Palicoes, make their own contributions to society to dispel people's prejudices against them, such as these three.

　Seeing that the little girl and Lanmei were still sleeping, the Meralu immediately grabbed them and tried to run away. They were just about to follow the group of armored dragons to find some fruit to eat when a huge flying dragon appeared in the sky and kept throwing something at the ground. Then, the explosion and fire instantly threw the Meralu away, and they hurriedly fled for their lives.

　Compared to ordinary flying wyverns, Bazelgeuse is significantly larger. Its body, especially its abdomen and underside of its tail, has numerous glands called "bazel glands" that secrete bodily fluids.

　The bodily fluids quickly solidify after being expelled, forming the teardrop-shaped "batter scales" that hang from the Bazelgeuse's body.
