The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"Awooo~" A terrifying sonic wave came from the mouth of the white rabbit beast. The loud cry, which seemed to shred the air, echoed throughout the area. The white rabbit beast pressed its body tightly against the ground, twisting its body as if it were trying to brew something from within. Then, the white rabbit beast moved forward rapidly across the snowfield.

　"Buzz!" Blazing Flame gritted his teeth, took out a sonic boom grenade from his pocket, and threw it at the White Rabbit Beast. Blazing Flame thought that the sonic boom grenade could stop the White Rabbit Beast's charge, but the berserk White Rabbit Beast was completely unaffected by the sonic boom grenade, and Blazing Flame was immediately sent flying.

　Fortunately, with the help of the Palico, the White Rabbit Beast's attack didn't completely reach Flame. Had it been a direct hit, Flame would have lost most of its stamina and been seriously injured. As soon as Flame regained its freedom, it immediately dodged, reflexively avoiding the White Rabbit Beast's direct attack. Even so, Flame's entire body still twitched slightly.

　The berserk white rabbit beast seemed to sense that its life was about to end. In order to deliver the final blow to the flames, it had already begun to prepare for a flying kick. If it were to be hit by that kind of heavy weight when it fell to the ground unprepared, even the most sturdy Skater series armor would definitely not be able to withstand it.

　Blazing Flame immediately assumed a full moon stance, unleashing left and right slashes. As if striking an illusion, Kio's slashes were incredibly fluid. The blades undeniably inflicted damage on the White Rabbit Beast. Each time the purple poisonous mist blades struck it, the fire dragon's scales and the female fire dragon's poison corroded everything around the target.

　The power emanating from the depths of Flame's body seemed almost visible to the naked eye. Before the White Rabbit Beast even noticed her presence, Flame had already infiltrated beneath its massive form, launching a series of slashes at its abdomen. It was a high-speed movement where the trajectory of the blade was almost impossible to see; the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon]'s unparalleled barrage of air blades instantly etched countless wounds onto the White Rabbit Beast's body.

　After dozens of strikes, the flames finally ceased their attack.

　They still couldn't defeat it. At this moment, the White Rabbit finally had a chance to fight back. The White Rabbit crouched down with its bouncy body, and then slammed heavily to the ground just before it jumped.

　Flame, panting heavily, looked at everything before him and hurriedly ate another one.

　After the fruit was removed, the negative effects of the Mad Dragon Virus subsided somewhat. Meanwhile, on the other side of the snowfield, something seemed to be stirring beneath the snow, and the keen-eyed Blaze also detected it.

　"Bang!" The Snow Demon Beast burst out of the snow, probably having witnessed the battle between Blaze and the White Rabbit Beast and wanting to reap the benefits. Blaze gripped the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon] tightly. After the hunt with the Mad Dragon-transformed White Rabbit Beast, Blaze still had many items, but the negative effects of the Mad Dragon Virus had not been completely eliminated. Just as Blaze was about to eat another Dispelling Fruit, she suddenly collapsed.

　"The Mad Dragon Virus has flared up? What should we do?"

　"There are still four 'Dispel Fruits' in the storage bag. The Palico and the Fang Hound are trying to stop the Snow Demon Beast. Damn it, what should I do?"

　As the Snow Demon Beast drew ever closer, Blaze grew increasingly anxious. In his hazy consciousness, Blaze tightened his grip on his sword. There was little that Palico and Fang Hound could do. Finally, just as the Snow Demon Beast broke through Palico's protection and its claws were about to strike, as if a drowning person had been rescued, Blaze leaped up from the ground, holding the Flying Dragon Sword [Moon] horizontally in front of him. He unleashed a double slash, forcing the Snow Demon Beast back, while his piercing eyes remained fixed on the beast before him.

　Blaze knew he had reached his limit, or rather, overcome the Mad Dragon Virus. Feeling the boost the Mad Dragon Virus gave him, Blaze placed his hand on the hilt of his katana and boldly shortened the distance between himself and the Snow Demon Beast.

　As Flame had predicted, the Snow Demon Beast decisively raised its fists and slammed them into the ground. Flame immediately stopped after its thrust and upward slash, and decisively created distance again. When the Snow Demon Beast used Earth Shatter, it was completely unprepared. The moment it flipped up the rocks in front of it was the Snow Demon Beast's biggest weakness, and also a golden opportunity for hunters to attack that they could not afford to miss. Flame was naturally well aware of this.

　While using Kamui Iaijutsu to unleash a fierce attack with its katana, Reijin didn't stop observing. Striving to predict its opponent's next move, after flipping over the rock, Yukimon immediately relaxed its body and moved, its target being Reijin, who was constantly widening the distance between them. Yukimon shifted its entire body weight forward, using the momentum to pounce powerfully.

　Flame, the target, calmly used Foresight to dodge the Snow Demon Beast's attack. Without creating distance beforehand, dodging such an attack would have been extremely difficult. Missing Flame, the Snow Demon Beast crashed straight into the rock wall. Its massive body lost its balance and slammed into the ground, leaving a clear mark before being forcibly stopped by the rocks.

　As SnowGhostmon stood up, Flame threw out a Wirebug, pulled up a wire, and used Cherry Blossom Iron Bug Blade Slash. Several slashes landed on SnowGhostmon, creating wounds of varying depths. Then, SnowGhostmon quickly turned its body after standing up, raised its head high, and let out a terrifying roar.

　He's angry!

　The Snow Demon's astonishing volume was as if its entire body was a vocal organ. The enraged Snow Demon opened its mouth and breathed cold air at Flame. Flame, having overcome the Mad Dragon Virus, easily dodged the Snow Demon's breath. Moreover, although the Snow Demon relentlessly changed direction and breathed at Flame again, Flame, who was already prepared, still dodged it.

　Finally, the Snow Demon breathed cold air onto its hands, condensing two ice blades. The Snow Demon swung the ice blades diagonally at the Blazing Flame, and just as the Blazing Flame twisted its body to dodge the Snow Demon's attack, a roar that seemed to tear at the eardrums came through the air again.

　Flame crouched down and covered its ears tightly, while Snowghost looked at the Ice Fang Dragon, covered in white armor, swooping down from the sky with considerable dissatisfaction. The two then began to fight. Snowghost swung its ice blades, while Ice Fang Dragon nimbly twisted its body to dodge. Then, it used a powerful lunge to knock Snowghost aside, and then puffed out its chest and spewed a cloud of freezing air at Snowghost.

　Just when Lieyan thought that the Ice Fang Dragon would continue to pursue, the Ice Fang Dragon roared a few times and prepared to leave. The Snow Demon Beast also sensed something and seemed to be preparing to leave. Just as Lieyan was puzzled, he found that the Ice Fang Dragon had not left yet and was lying on the ground looking ahead. Lieyan looked in the direction of the Ice Fang Dragon.

　Sure enough, the Barioth was also avoiding a monster, because that monster had appeared, and the Lord of the World was standing in front of the Barioth!

　Suddenly, Blazing Flame understood why Ice Fang Dragon didn't continue fighting after forcing Snow Demon Beast back, and why White Rabbit Beast had transformed into a berserk dragon. Sure enough, the Lord of the World was in this place.

　The cold, crimson-gold pupils of the Reincarnation Lord swept over the Snow Demon Beast, the Ice Fang Dragon, and the Blazing Flame. At this moment, the Blazing Flame, who had overcome the Mad Dragon Virus, suddenly felt that the Reincarnation Lord was actually quite nice. Meanwhile, the Ice Fang Dragon roared with all its might, its roar echoing across the land. The Reincarnation Lord pounced on the Ice Fang Dragon a second before it could unleash its roar.

　In such an emergency, the Ice Fang Dragon was momentarily stunned. The thorns on its wings, claws, and wing claws that were originally used for anti-slip purposes suddenly became slippery. After the World Lord slammed the Ice Fang Dragon to the ground with one claw, it used its wing claws as a fulcrum to turn around and charge towards the Snow Demon Beast.

　Although the Snow Demon Beast still wanted to leave, it had almost no chance of survival after being targeted by the Revenant. Meanwhile, the Barioth, lying on the ground, was barely breathing and on the verge of death. Strangely, the Revenant...

　Instead of eating the Barioth on the spot, it bit off the head of the Snow Demon Beast, tore off the Barioth's skin, and left a pile of materials on the ground.

　Shark Girl.jpg

　P.S.: Well, finally done with the busy schedule. Today and yesterday, I accompanied my mom to the hospital for a checkup. She kept saying her calves felt weak, and she was so worried for two days straight, getting checked by orthopedics, neurology, and even a psychological evaluation. The results were all fine—nothing at all, except her blood pressure was a little high. While I'm relieved, I also felt a sudden emptiness. These past two days, I've been writing only in my spare time, my thoughts and brain aren't flowing smoothly; I was too preoccupied with worrying about her condition. I also didn't have enough time to polish my writing. But thankfully, everything's alright, which is great. Next time, I'll be back on track. I absolutely have to drag my mom to the next checkup; she was reluctant to go last time.

　PS2: Everyone should take care of their health. Get a checkup every year or two; it's for your own good!

　Volume 1: 373 - The Ferocious Red Light Under the Moonlight

　[Intelligence Update] When the Reincarnated One appeared in the Ancient Tower area of ​​Mejepoltan, the Hunter's Guild officially sealed away the information about the Reincarnated One's existence and classified it as a secret file of the same level as the files of Miraboreas and Elbertlion, namely the Black Dragon and Alatreon. After all, in the battle between the Reincarnated One and Alatreon, they witnessed the Reincarnated One effortlessly using the Crimson Emperor Azure Star, then flattening the Origin Island in one fell swoop, and overpowering Alatreon. Such performance and ability have proven that the Reincarnated One is worthy of being added to the list of Forbidden Hunters.

　Back at the observation base Elgard, Flame delivered the materials to Minaret to forge the latest armor. Then, she immediately found the most famous doctor in the base and asked him to give her a full check-up. Although the senior doctor Yan was not there, his disciple was equally excellent. However, the results of the examination gave Yan's disciple a headache.

　According to the doctor, he had never seen such a stable case of the Mad Dragon Virus in his entire life. Rather, it was as if Lieyan's body had been strengthened under the influence of the Mad Dragon Virus, and even strengthened without any side effects. You should know that the Mad Dragon Virus can easily make the infected person go berserk and out of control. There has never been any record of such a situation in the books.

　When Lieyan left the clinic, she was still confused about the situation. All she knew was that her body seemed to have a great deal of immunity to the Mad Dragon virus and had turned it into her own. After leaving, she also took a letter from Yanhuo Village that had been sent to her from the command room.

　As he left the clinic, it was getting late. The sunset glow shone on Lieyan, making him feel a sense of comfort. His rumbling stomach made him instinctively head towards the tavern. There, a woman in a light green waitress uniform came over with the drinks Lieyan had ordered.

　It's Vivi.

　Vivi is the best waitress who handles everything from arranging hunting missions at the tavern to guiding visiting travelers. She is also the tavern's number one mascot. Her energetic smile, charming and mischievous eyes, and excellent work skills all make her the best waitress in the hunter's gathering place. Now, she is more like the most dazzling jewel in the tavern.

　"Hi, you've had a hard hunt. What would you like to eat tonight, Miss Flame?"

　"Then let's have the fried pork cutlet set meal and the seafood set meal."

　"A very safe choice! Today's seafood is freshly arrived red snapper and flatback prawns, they're delicious!" Vivi patted her chest to assure everyone that today's meal would be excellent, while swaying her slender waist to urge the kitchen to prepare the guests' food.

　"Then I'll trouble you."

　As Lieyan spoke, he opened the letter from Yanhuo Village. Huoya wrote a lot of interesting things about Yanhuo Village in the letter. After the Hundred Dragons Night Parade ended, the village's tourism industry was getting better and better. Aicao had also developed a new recipe. Puxian actually planned to go out and see the world again, which meant he wanted to go on a training trip. Upon reading this, Lieyan couldn't help but laugh.

　"Ah, but it feels so unreal. All these years of hunting, or rather, training, feel like they were all in a dream."

　Vivi, carrying a bowl of food in one hand and a glass of beer in the other, placed it in front of Lieyan, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Hey? What's Miss Lieyan saying?"

　"Huh?" Lieyan didn't expect that his soft words could be overheard by others.

　Immersed in the letter, Lieyan didn't notice Weiwei's arrival. He immediately slammed the letter down on the table. Weiwei's gaze fell on Lieyan's hand, and she quickly snatched the letter from his hand.

　"Let me see what this is!"

　[My dearest Flame, it's already time for the next season to arrive, but the weather is still hot... Artemisia has invented cream puff-flavored dumplings again... Village Chief Puxian says the world is vast, and he wants to go out and see it...]

　"Haha~"

　Weiwei smiled inwardly, giving Lieyan a meaningful look. Lieyan reacted instinctively without thinking.

　She avoided her gaze. It was indeed rare for Weiwei to see the usually expressionless Lieyan show such a shy expression, especially since the sender was a woman living in Yanhuo Village.

　"Ah, well, how should I put it, strictly speaking, this is actually my sister. She has written me many letters, and I feel that it would be a bit unreasonable not to reply."

　"Huh? What? You haven't replied even once?" Vivi asked Lieyan with wide eyes, unable to believe it.

　"Don't talk nonsense. I'm terrible at writing letters. I don't even know what to reply. I think going on hunting missions is much easier."

　“Sigh, this is all because of you, Lieyan.” Weiwei sighed. “First of all, you have to write that you are happily writing a reply, and that you also care about what Huoya is doing all day.”

　Flame instinctively replied, "Ah, no, that's not what I think about every day."

　"Shut up!" Lieyan's opinion was completely rejected. Weiwei said something while making Lieyan copy it, and also added some poetic phrases like "I want to see you next time" to the letter. According to Lieyan, all the replies she wrote were lies.

　Weiwei felt that her explanation was too perfect, and she kept talking, giving off the impression that "just write according to my instructions," while Lieyan felt that she was wasting too much time.

　Seeing that the situation was not right, Lieyan immediately snatched the letter back from Weiwei's hand. At the same time, a very charming woman with shiny black hair and a refreshing smile appeared in front of Lieyan. "Welcome back, Lieyan. You truly deserve to be called the hero hunter of Yanhuo Village. You actually hunted two monsters and a white rabbit beast that had turned into a berserk dragon all by yourself."

　Fiorena's armor is the Pink Rathian set, made by dyeing the skin of a poisonous bird white and sewing on pink Rathalos subspecies scales to the vital parts. It is paired with arm guards made of rare shimmering crystals and a hem made of upper shell on the left side of her waist. It looks like the Rathian set she used before, but it is actually a reinforced set with extremely high defensive capabilities.

　Vivi smiled playfully, and after inquiring about Fiona's needs, she left, leaving space for Lieyan and Fiona to discuss. With Lieyan's permission, Fiona sat down next to him. "The White Rabbit Beast, Snow Ghost Beast, and Ice Fang Dragon that had all turned into mad dragons, and even the Returning World Lord, it's really hard to imagine that you've returned unharmed."

　"Yes, I was terrified when I encountered the Lord of Reincarnation, but he completely ignored me and even left me some materials. It's really strange." Flame brought back not only materials from White Rabbit Beast and Snow Demon Beast, but also materials from Ice Fang Dragon. Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's true.

　Fiorena nodded and said, "Yes, it's really strange. But Flame, you did a really good job in your first encounter with the World Lord hunting the Barioth. The hunting report you submitted can not only improve the World Lord's ecological report, but it is also a very important document for the Hunter's Guild. Moreover, I believe that Bahari will probably keep asking you what happened."

　"If we're talking about strange things, firstly, it might be because of the size difference between me and the Master of the World. I can sense that the Master of the World isn't interested in hunters at all. However, I did manage to overcome the Mad Dragon Virus while hunting the White Rabbit Beast. As for another strange thing, it seems that the Master of the World doesn't eat monster heads or certain parts."

　Sure enough, not long after Fiorena's BBQ steak set meal was served, Bahari found Flame, panting heavily. Seeing Bahari's anxious look, Fiorena said, "What have you figured out? Tell me quickly, Bahari."

　Bahari chuckled. "Fiorena, you're always so impatient, always rushing around. You'll make a big mistake sooner or later. Anyway, back to the point. I've studied the marks left by the Reincarnation Lord's teeth and claws, as well as the Reincarnation Lord's appearance as reconstructed based on Flame's description. I'm now certain of one thing: the Reincarnation Lord is not as simple as we think."

　"It's not that simple? But isn't it the Reincarnation Dragon? According to the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team, it's the Reincarnation Dragon that inherited some of the characteristics of the Fatalis. Of course, the Reincarnation Dragon itself is also a very dangerous ancient dragon."

　"That's not all. The size of the Reincarnation Lord can be explained because it was parasitized and hatched inside the body of the Crimson Dragon, thus inheriting some of the Crimson Dragon's traits. But look at the Reincarnation Lord's appearance, especially its horns and those strange scales on its body. Neither the Crimson Dragon nor the Heavenly Reincarnation Dragon possesses such characteristics. So where did the Reincarnation Lord inherit this part from?"

　Inside the castle on the other side, the Melalurus were tanning the hides of the Snow Demon Beast, White Rabbit Beast, and Ice Fang Dragon to make leather. The Snow Demon Beast hide in the previous cave had become tattered and unusable when the Melalurus cleaned it up because of the interference of the Blazing Spider and the Kappa Frog. So the little girl simply threw away that Snow Demon Beast hide. However, since the little girl and Lan Mei needed a blanket to sleep in human form, the little girl decided to go hunting herself.

　The Returning World Master encountered incredible luck the moment she stepped outside: the young girl not only found the Snow Demon Beast, but also encountered the Ice Fang Dragon along the way, and even acquired a White Rabbit Beast as a bonus. As for the hunter, she pretended not to see him, but if the hunter dared...

　If she attacks, she wouldn't mind sending the hunter back to town quickly.

　Of course, if the reason why the young girl preferred to appear in human form during her Black Eclipse Dragon period was because she had vision in human form, then after the young girl molted from the Black Eclipse Dragon into the Heavenly Returning Dragon, or the Returning Lord, her vision no longer affected her life as the Returning Lord. On the other hand, according to Lanmei's feeling, the young girl did not have a great preference for human form or the Returning Lord form, and could appear in whatever form she wanted.

　The Reincarnation Lord was sleeping peacefully in the center of the castle, its wing claws gripping the collapsed city wall. The stone under its head resembled a building formed by the collapse of a pavilion. Layers of dark purple mist surrounded the Reincarnation Lord, spreading outwards with each breath. Lan Mei, however, seemed oblivious to all this, sleeping soundly under the Reincarnation Lord's belly.

　Meanwhile, the Meralus were tanning leather while wearing fully protective masks.

　"Meow, meow." Boss, can we use those powders?

　"Meow, meow." No, but maybe we can consider selling them to the hunters and then buying something good for the boss.

　"Meow!" Agreed!

　Suddenly, the bubble on Hui Shi Zhu's nose popped. Hui Shi Zhu groggily raised her head, yawned, looked around, and then transformed back into a little girl in a burst of blue light. Looking at Lan Mei sleeping soundly next to her, the little girl casually grabbed a pile of apples and took a few crunchy bites.

　The arrival of the Reincarnation Lord was a catastrophe for the surrounding creatures, and the Reincarnation Lord's foraging range was also expanding further. In order to protect the clan's fire and the remaining adult dragons, the fire dragon clan moved away early on. After that, the male fire dragons did not see that huge platinum monster for quite some time.

　With its survival crisis resolved, Rathalos, the king of the skies, was considering how to fill its belly. It also needed to familiarize itself with its surroundings, so it immediately flapped its wings and took flight. As its altitude gradually increased, Rathalos scanned the jungle below with its sharp gaze.

　The forest was unusually quiet. Had something happened? Or had it been eaten by that strange platinum-colored monster? But that was unlikely. After all, the Rathalos had moved to a very far place. According to the Rathalos's understanding, these powerful Elder Dragons usually occupied a place as their territory and rarely left. But just thinking about that platinum-colored monster made the Rathalos's wings unable to flap steadily.

　This is also why Rathalos initially wanted to move; it simply needed to get away from this place.

　The Rathalos, soaring through the air, was searching for the group of Armored Dragons on the ground when, in the next instant, it suddenly noticed a swarm of red flying insects drifting past in front of it. The Rathalos had never seen such a thing before, and the bloody scent emanating from the red insects was making it somewhat intoxicated.

　"Roar~" The Rathalos roared and flapped its wings to chase after the red flying insects. The red flying insects were not flying fast, and the Rathalos felt that it was about to catch up with them as it flapped its wings. Just as the Rathalos was about to catch up with the red flying insects and open its big mouth to swallow them, a huge airflow suddenly appeared, which immediately disrupted the Rathalos's flight rhythm.

　The Rathalos struggled to maintain its balance in the strong convective airflow. Just as it was trying its best to find the culprit and escape, a piercing metallic hum rang out, and a rich ancient dragon aura appeared on the side of the Rathalos.

　The Rathalos panicked and hurriedly folded its wings, trying to dive down and dodge the unknown Elder Dragon's attack as quickly as possible. However, the Elder Dragon quickly flapped its wings and approached the Rathalos, spreading its wings and ramming into the Rathalos with a shield charge. Under such a violent impact, the Rathalos completely lost its balance and flapped its wings as it fell downwards. Just as the Rathalos was about to hit the ground, the Elder Dragon also flapped its wings and grabbed the Rathalos.

　Beneath the full moon, a colossal ancient dragon covered in silver armor was firmly biting a raven's neck. Swarms of parasites landed on the raven's neck, continuously sucking its life essence. The parasites' bodies were gradually growing larger and more vibrant. The satiated parasites floated to the giant ancient dragon's chest, forelegs, and wrists. The giant ancient dragon stood under the full moon as if wearing a bright red scarf. Its mouth was beak-like, and a pair of golden horns pointed upwards on its head. Its crimson eyes were very conspicuous in the moonlight.

　This ancient dragon is named the Silver Dragon.

　The gnats, saturated with life essence, lay sprawled on the Silver Dragon's body. Satisfied, the Silver Dragon spread its wings. After receiving the life essence from the gnats, a bewitching red light emanated from between the membranes of its wings. Just as the Silver Dragon was about to turn and fly away, it suddenly felt a commotion from the gnats on its body. Before it could figure out what was happening, the Silver Dragon discovered that the gnats had all detached from its body and were flying off in a certain direction.

　The Silver Dragon naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. It immediately flapped its wings and chased after the Gnawing Worms, but the worms hadn't flown far. The Silver Dragon soon spotted its own Gnawing Worms lying beside a giant ancient dragon, flapping their wings incessantly. Judging from the way the worms flew and circled, they seemed to be trying to communicate with the platinum-colored ancient dragon.

　A close and intimate relationship.

　However, the Lord of Returning Worlds had always looked down on the Gnawing Insects. She was holding down a velociraptor under her claws. Seeing that the velociraptor was not completely dead, the Gnawing Insects tried to land on the velociraptor's body, wanting to help the Lord of Returning Worlds kill it. But the Lord of Returning Worlds knew very well what these red flying insects could do.

　The World Lord immediately grabbed the velociraptor with its wing claws and jumped back a step, completely getting away from the grubs.

　Seeing the Lord of the World in such a state, the Gnawing Insect seemed to be deeply wounded, just standing there blankly waving its wings, completely at a loss for what to do. But this scene was not so calm and could not be ignored by the Silver Dragon.

　Hundreds of years ago, the giant underground mole attempted to invade the territory of the Silver Dragon. Regardless of whether the Silver Dragon had greater strength or the advantage of the sky, it was fortunate that the Silver Dragon was more skilled and successfully drove the giant underground mole back underground. However, in the battle between the Silver Dragon and the giant underground mole, although the giant underground mole lost, it still had a backup plan, which was to release the gnawing insects.

　Some of the parasites infested the Silver Dragon. The parasites released toxins while sucking blood. Compared to humans, the Silver Dragon could only rely on its unwavering will and endurance to adapt to the parasites. Even though the two achieved symbiosis, it caused the Silver Dragon to become extremely violent. It even attacked the capital, becoming a completely different dragon, and then disappeared from the sight of the people of the capital.

　For parasites, a powerful host is the best choice. If that's not possible, their toxins can also help. Parasites don't care about morality. When they first encountered the Silver Dragon, the Silver Dragon was the best host. But now that they've encountered the Lord of Reincarnation, the Lord of Reincarnation is the best host they recognize. It's just that the Lord of Reincarnation isn't happy about it.

　But now that he had been betrayed, how could Jue Yinlong tolerate it? He roared and charged towards Hui Shi Zhu.

　P.S.: Whales actually have a very slow heartbeat; under normal circumstances, a whale's heart beats only nine times per minute. The long-running TV series "Black Cat Detective" only has five episodes. Throughout world war history, there are numerous examples of animals participating in combat. For instance, in the Iraq War, approximately 2000 monkey soldiers fought, though their task was mine clearance.

　PS2: Wow~ Haha~ The demos of the new weapons were really cool, especially the Charge Blade. Actually, I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I'm a Charge Blade player, and I occasionally play with the Gunlance too~

　PS3: I hope everyone has a wonderful and pleasant day!

　Volume 1: Chapter 374 - The Vampire Silver Dragon and the Returning World Master

　The Wanderer isn't hungry right now, so her aggression isn't very strong. However, after witnessing her sister being possessed by a grub and the Anjanath being attacked by grubs, she has absolutely no liking for these flying insects. This is mainly because grubs not only brutally suck the host's life force but also inject toxins into the host's body. This causes monsters that have had their life force drained to lose their original scent, which the Wanderer dislikes very much.

　As for why the Gnawing Worms prefer the Reincarnation Master, it's mainly because, as a host for the Gnawing Worms, the Reincarnation Master is almost the best choice. Its nearly limitless energy and powerful combat ability can ensure the Gnawing Worms' safety, feeding, and reproduction needs to the greatest extent. However, the Reincarnation Master is not willing to be consumed by the Gnawing Worms at all, since she can't gain any benefits from it.

　The Lord of Returning Worlds was also caught off guard by the Silver Dragon's sudden attack. She couldn't understand why any prey would willingly come to her door. However, she quickly figured it out: since it was free food, why not take it? So she generously accepted it.

　As an ancient dragon with a standard four-legged, two-winged skeleton, the Silver Dragon is covered in a magnificent silver-white carapace, especially the lines of the carapace which shimmer with a golden light, making its edges even sharper. Every move it makes exudes elegance and majesty, and the most eye-catching feature of the Silver Dragon is its wings.

　Unlike the wings of Steel Dragon, Teostra, or the Wraith King, the Silver Dragon's crimson wings are thinner, with more prominent veins, and they radiate a bewitching and strange light. The horn at the tips of the Silver Dragon's forelimbs and wings are golden, streamlined "swords" that are significantly different from its body color. Its powerful yet elegant piercing attacks are enough to shred any armor that appears before it in the instant it cuts through the air. In addition, the Silver Dragon's personality is cruel, which is contrary to its proud demeanor.

　During battle, the Silver Dragon does not actively attack its prey head-on. Instead, it prefers to hide in the night. Against enemies with strength, it uses technique and speed to fight. Against enemies who are skilled and agile, it will use its strength to completely crush them. However, the Silver Dragon is also quite proud and will never allow itself to fail in battle.

　爵银

　The dragon flapped its wings and flung two swarms of red flying insects toward the Lord of the World. During the battle, the gnawing insects usually fight as the Silver Dragon's subordinates. For low-level monsters that are powerless against the Silver Dragon, the gnawing insects will directly absorb their essence and return it to the Silver Dragon. The Silver Dragon will not directly eat the flesh or other substances of its prey to replenish its body energy. It can maintain its life force through life energy.

　Unlike other monsters, or even Elder Dragons, the Silver Dragon absorbs the life force of its prey with its long fangs that can pierce through carapace and bones during battle. Furthermore, the Silver Dragon's attacks inflict the Bloodlust status on monsters, pushing them into a tug-of-war of life force with the Silver Dragon. In order to maximize the ability of the Gnawing Worms, the Gnawing Worms even help the Silver Dragon gain life force.

　The Lord of Reincarnation immediately opened its dragon mouth, and a beam of azure light shot out, burning the two clumps of gnawing insects to ashes. Seeing its subordinates die tragically, the Silver Dragon became serious. It swung its wing claws, slashing at the Lord of Reincarnation with one wing while simultaneously using the other wing as a spear to stab at the Lord of Reincarnation.

　"OvO!" The Wanderer raised its wing claws to block the Silver Dragon's slash. At the same time, the golden tip of the dragon's wing struck the Wanderer's platinum scales. As the two dragons wrestled, a series of sparks burst out at the junction of their scales. A large number of sparks appeared. Perhaps due to the gnawing insects, although the Silver Dragon had the same physique as the Steel Dragon among the Elder Dragons, it had a malnourished "skinny" appearance. In reality, the Silver Dragon possessed a monstrous strength that was completely inconsistent with its appearance.

　The Silver Dragon was astonished that the Reincarnated Lord had managed to withstand its double attack. As one of the top ancient dragons in melee combat and at the apex of its ecological niche among the three lords of the royal domain, the Silver Dragon had never expected to fail to gain the upper hand in close combat. However, the fact that it could fight the Reincarnated Lord to a standstill was enough for it to boast about to its own kind or other ancient dragons for quite some time.

　The Silver Dragon did not retreat. Instead, it commanded the gnawing insects on its body to continue attacking and biting the World Lord. The dark purple scales and bright red gnawing insects intertwined, making the scene increasingly chaotic. After several slashes between the dragon's wing claws and wings, the Silver Dragon realized that it could not gain the upper hand. The Silver Dragon suddenly rammed its head into the World Lord. However, with a loud "bang!", the World Lord slammed the Silver Dragon's entire head into the ground with its wing claws. Of course, this kind of damage was still within the Silver Dragon's tolerance range. However, its golden dragon horns and silver face were no longer recognizable because they were covered in dirt.
