The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"You mean that overly lively little guy? I remember him. Actually, I have some interesting news about him. Do you want to hear it?"

　"Interesting news?"

　Seeing that Fiona was interested in the news, Bahari took off the huge Reincarnation mask from his head. Although it was made of lightweight metal, the weight of the mask and the stuffy environment inside still made Bahari sweat profusely. After carefully wiping away the fingerprints on it, Bahari put the mask aside and said to Fiona, "This is something that the instructor from Flamefire Village discussed with me. Do you remember the seven unsolved mysteries that are passed down among the hunters?"

　"I remember the mysterious ancient dragon, the unknown ancient tower, the tremors from underground, the songs in the sky, and of course, the most famous urban legend of the girl in white, the poet in red, and the man in black."

　Upon hearing Fiona's reply, Bahari left the lab bench and returned to the data table, pulling out a chair for Fiona to sit down. Fiona guessed this conversation would last quite a while. "In the legends circulating among hunters, mysterious ancient dragons take human form and lure hunters to hunt them. Hunters have no choice but to face the ancient dragons directly, and even those forbidden species that the guilds cannot identify. Whether their true intentions are simply to enjoy the thrill of battle or to lure hunters into the abyss of defeat is unknown. At least those legendary hunters didn't say much about these experiences. But is it really true that ancient dragons can take human form?"

　"If ancient dragons could take human form, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago? But besides taking human form, the phenomenon called resonance is more real. The pair of dragon-woman sisters in Flamefire Village could resonate with ancient dragons. In the extermination report, didn't they both have resonance phenomena before exterminating the Wind God Dragon and the Thunder God Dragon?"

　"That's true, but what I'm about to say is different from the resonance. First, Instructor Ni Tai from Flamefire Village became suspicious of A-Lan and Xiao-Guang's origins. However, the Dragonkin are a very easygoing race, so Instructor Ni Tai didn't delve into such trivial matters. But besides that, Instructor Ni Tai also noticed another strange thing: the time when Miss A-Lan and that little guy appeared overlapped with the time when the Reincarnation Lord appeared. In other words, it was only after Miss A-Lan and the little guy appeared in Flamefire Village that the villagers witnessed or noticed the presence of the Reincarnation Lord around the village."

　When Fiona heard this, she couldn't help but become serious. She felt that she was about to understand what Bahari was trying to say. "So you think that Miss Alan and Xiaoguang are actually like those two dragon-human sisters, belonging to the resonance of some ancient dragon?"

　Bahari raised an eyebrow. "I think at this point, Fiorina, you can be a little bolder and make some assumptions. Suppose it's true that the ancient dragon can take human form, then could Xiao Guang and Miss Alan be the ancient dragon in human form? Since Alan and Xiao Guang only discovered the Reincarnated One after arriving in Flamefire Village, is it possible that Xiao Guang is the Reincarnated One?"

　"Wait, wait, wait, why is it Xiaoguang and not Miss Alan?"

　"Judging from the color of their horns and scales, Xiaoguang is the most likely candidate."

　Fiorena immediately waved her hand with a smile and said, "That's impossible. Bahari, have you been studying the Reincarnation Lord too much? Putting aside whether the Ancient Dragon can actually transform into human form, it's impossible for a cute little girl like Xiaoguang to become a Reincarnation Lord who is over fifty meters tall. Have you been staying home for a long time, which is why you have so many strange ideas? Do you want to go to the tavern for a drink?"

　"It's just a very slim possibility, and don't you find it interesting?"

　Fiorena looked at Bahari with a twisted expression. "I don't find it funny at all, but since you said it's a very slim possibility, I think you should avoid basing your future actions on your own speculations."

　"Ahem, I'm just speculating. If we were to act on it, we would definitely have to notify the Hunter's Guild. Also, Instructor Ni Tai said that whenever the World Lord appears, he can't find A-Lan and Xiao-Guang. Ni Tai has also checked on them."

　Several times, but in the end, due to various reasons, I was always busy fighting the monsters and the Returning Lords, and couldn't concentrate on finding Alan and Xiaoguang. Besides, no one else paid much attention to this, so Instructor Nitai still didn't have an answer. Now that Alan and Xiaoguang have come to Elgard, Instructor Nitai told me about it.

　"Well, let's not talk about such baseless things for now. Take a look at these bugs first."

　After hearing Fiorena's reminder, Bahari turned his attention to the red flying insect. Judging from its appearance, Bahari was certain he had never seen this creature before. He picked up the tweezers on the table and carefully poked at the insect's skin, wing membrane, and mouthparts. From the tactile feedback, the insect's skin was hard, it had no spine, and its mouthparts were exceptionally sharp. Bahari simply ran the tweezers over it, and the insect's mouthparts left a noticeable mark on the tweezers. Moreover, judging from the appearance of the wing membrane and mouthparts, Bahari deduced that this insect likely had a parent or was some kind of parasitic flying insect; otherwise, it wouldn't have evolved into this form.

　“Host, parasitism, hmm, it seems this is another complicated matter. I’m starting to get excited and eager to try. Well then, we’ll have to put the matter of the Reincarnated One aside for now.” Bahari said as he took out the dissection equipment.

　"By the way, Fiorena, there's a dragon-human wandering doctor in Elgard named Yan. He's an excellent botanist and pathologist. When the kingdom was ravaged by the Silver Dragons, disaster struck again when a plague broke out. It was this dragon-human wandering doctor, Yan, who, with his superb medical skills, developed a cure for the plague and saved many lives. However, he then began traveling around the world and his whereabouts became unknown. But he recently returned to Elgard. I heard that he's an old acquaintance of the grocer, Mr. Yangyan, and is currently staying in Yanhuo Village. I imagine his knowledge will allow us to learn more about this insect."

　"Yes, I will write to invite Dr. Yan."

　At this point, Fiorena understood what she needed to do next, but before that, she had to report the whole thing to Admiral Gareas.

　Deep in the dense forest, the young girl who had regained her power as the Lord of Reincarnation was lying on the castle, pondering how to find that wicked fellow. Although she had already met Jue Yinlong once, their meeting was quite hasty, ending in a fight. Jue Yinlong did not gain much advantage under the Lord of Reincarnation and was ultimately pinned to the ground. After that meeting, the Lord of Reincarnation never found any trace of Jue Yinlong again.

　The Lord of the World yawned boredly. Lanmei carried some washed fruit to the roof of the castle. Below, the Meralu were carefully polishing the scales that the Lord of the World had lost. Like other ancient dragons, the scales on the Lord of the World were frequently renewed. Scales lost in battle or flight would regenerate at an extremely fast speed. However, unlike other ancient dragons, the scales that the Lord of the World lost would most likely shatter and turn into the Mad Dragon Virus, which would then spread to various places. Only a small number of scales would fall off the Lord of the World intact. This meant that even if the Meralu stayed by the Lord of the World's side, it would be difficult to collect enough scales to craft equipment for themselves.

　As for the Silver Dragon that was defeated by the Lord of Reincarnation, it took off unsteadily while the Lord of Reincarnation was not pursuing it, and left that sad place with great difficulty. Of course, what saddened it was not only because it lost to this platinum-colored giant, but also because the gnawing insects that had lived in harmony with it wanted to leave it and join the platinum-colored giant. This was the Silver Dragon's least favorite thing to see.

　Despite Jueyinlong's disagreement, what could it do in this relationship? For the Gnawing Worms, Huishizhu was the perfect host. If Huishizhu hadn't been unwilling and was always ready to unleash destructive white light to burn them to death, the Gnawing Worms would have begged Huishizhu to take them in.

　Fortunately, after the large, platinum-colored creature left, the parasitic worms residing within the Silver Dragon ceased their agitation, putting the Silver Dragon at ease. However, on the return journey, the excruciating pain in its abdomen and tail constantly reminded the Silver Dragon of its need for healing. It was at this moment that the Silver Dragon saw the corpses of recently deceased creatures, and immediately dispatched the parasitic worms to absorb their life essence to heal itself.

　Jueyinlong naturally didn't care why these creature corpses were there. After absorbing enough essence blood, he left the place with satisfaction and flew towards the fortress highlands, which was his residence. When Jueyinlong returned to the fortress highlands, he found the figure of the Ice Wolf Dragon there. As for the creature corpses it had consumed, they were the large hunting grounds used by hunters to obtain meat.

　"Roar!"

　Noticing the return of the Silver Dragon, the Ice Wolf Dragon did not back down. After letting out a howl with its neck raised, it stared intently at the Silver Dragon. After its entire body was covered in ice armor, the Ice Wolf Dragon suddenly leaped into the air and spun towards the Silver Dragon. The Silver Dragon had already stood up and tried to bite the Ice Wolf Dragon's throat.

　"Crack!" The Silver Dragon's sharp forepaws struck the Ice Wolf Dragon's body. Due to the Ice Wolf Dragon's ice armor, the Silver Dragon couldn't grab it for a moment. Taking advantage of the situation, the Ice Wolf Dragon spewed out a large burst of ice breath, attempting to freeze the Silver Dragon. The Silver Dragon disdainfully raised its head and forcefully struck the ice...

　The immense force from the wolf dragon's back instantly pinned the ice wolf dragon beneath the silver dragon.

　White steam kept billowing from the nostrils of the Silver Dragon. Although it was just a simple fight, the Silver Dragon looked exhausted, as if the damage inflicted by the World Lord had not yet healed. Just as the Silver Dragon was momentarily stunned, the Ice Wolf Dragon used its tail to brace itself against the ground, exerted force with its limbs, and slammed into the Silver Dragon's chin. The Silver Dragon was a little dizzy from the sudden impact, and the Ice Wolf Dragon took the opportunity to bite the Silver Dragon's neck, then quickly jumped into the air and flipped its body.

　Despite the Ice Wolf Dragon's fierce resistance, the Silver Dragon was actually thrown to the ground by the Ice Wolf Dragon. This was a great humiliation for the Silver Dragon, the leader of the three ancient dragon species in the Domain. Without even thinking, the Silver Dragon slammed its wings on the ground and stood up, then stretched out its three-pronged tail with sharp claws and firmly grabbed the Ice Wolf Dragon.

　The Ice Wolf Dragon suddenly felt as if its chest was being clamped by a pair of pliers, making it impossible to breathe. The Silver Dragon then used its tail to lift the Ice Wolf Dragon high into the air, and then slammed it to the ground. This was not enough to vent its anger, so the Silver Dragon dragged the Ice Wolf Dragon around in circles on the ground. When the Ice Wolf Dragon's ice armor was almost worn through, the Silver Dragon swung its tail and threw the Ice Wolf Dragon into the air. Then, it flapped its wings and flew into the air, grabbed the Ice Wolf Dragon with its forepaws, and slammed it to the ground.

　"Awooo!" The Ice Wolf Dragon let out a miserable cry as its ice armor shattered, and its limbs weakly pawed at the ground, while the Silver Dragon in the sky was already preparing to swoop down to the ground.

　On the other side, the Lord of Reincarnation was still thinking about the issue of roasting meat. The ingredients she usually gave to the Melalus were all hunted by herself. She rarely let the Melalus marinate or preserve food, which was one of her reasons for being cautious. Of course, there was also the reason that fresh ingredients were needed to make the best food.

　Suddenly, Hui Shi Zhu thought that since there was a problem with the food, why not go and check where the food was obtained? No sooner said than done, Hui Shi Zhu grabbed Lan Mei and flew towards the hunters' hunting grounds.

　Hunting grounds are typically areas designated by hunters where monsters are fixed, their movement routes are clear, their weaknesses are well-known, and their behavior patterns are very familiar. Of course, hunters may also find high-niche monsters like Rathalos, Ampharos, and Thousand Blades in hunting grounds, as the herbivores in the hunting grounds are their food source.

　This is why they can see many animal trails in the hunting grounds that were specially opened up to allow herbivorous monsters such as herbivorous dragons to travel between fixed areas. Of course, hunters also contributed to the construction of animal trails. They traveled back and forth on these trails, or pulled wagons loaded with bombs and traps through them, which eventually led to the formation of such roads.

　Not all hunters are capable of hunting monsters like Rathalos. New hunters usually choose to hunt smaller monsters like the Siamese Weasel to begin their hunting career. The Siamese Weasel has short forelimbs and a tail with a sickle-shaped bony structure, which is an important sign that it has entered its breeding season and its main means of attack.

　For example, these two are here today because the number of individual Kamaitachiosaurus in the hunting grounds seems to be increasing dramatically. The expanding Kamaitachiosaurus group, led by the cunning Kamaitachiosaurus King, will become even more dangerous.

　Unlike the Velocidrome and the Houndoom, the Kamaitachi Dragon King doesn't bring a group of minions. Instead, they only choose the strongest, smaller individuals of their kind to patrol, hunt, and defend their territory. As they ventured deeper into the hunting grounds, the Kamaitachi Dragon King seemed to have noticed her presence. One of the hunters had already drawn his hunter's knife, ready to fight. Although he didn't want to waste his energy, fleeing from such a massive number was not a hunter's style; it was better to engage directly.

　Just as the hunters were about to rush forward, a huge white-gold figure suddenly fell from the sky, followed by a loud "bang." The sickle dragons were already dead beyond any doubt. The hunters didn't have time to react, but after meeting the crimson-gold pupils of the World Lord, they had no other thoughts in their minds.

　"Should we charge in?"

　"People will die, won't they?"

　"It should be, it will be."

　"Then forget about it, just play dead."

　P.S.: My biological clock is messed up, which makes me feel sleepy every day and never get enough sleep.

　Volume 1: Chapter 377 - The Forest Villain Who Harms the Local Area

　The damp grass stems sticking to my cheeks were already unpleasant, and the tiny insects crawling in through the gaps in my armor and gnawing at my skin were even more unpleasant. The temperature in the jungle was quite high, and although the nearby river made the air more circulated, the stuffy conditions were not significantly improved.

　Although the temperature here is similar to that of the sand plains, the heavy, stuffy air in the jungle feels completely different from the dry air in the desert, making one feel as if they are wearing an extra layer of soaked underwear.

　The armor made from the carapace of the Red Armored Beast not only blocks heat from the outside world, but also has a very good heat dissipation effect. It can be said to be a very rare item. If he were not wearing this armor, it would be absolutely impossible to lie in ambush in this kind of grass for an hour, thought the older of the two hunters.

　A full hour has passed since the appearance of the Reincarnated One.

　Since the appearance of the Ancient Dragon in the Elgard region, the Hunter's Guild has released all information about her. As an Ancient Dragon, her intelligence is no less than that of humans, and may even surpass that of ordinary humans. She values ​​food highly, and her aggression will decrease significantly after she has eaten her fill. If you see platinum scales, there is no doubt that they are released by the Ancient Dragon. Compared to ordinary blackish-purple scales, they are likely more toxic and flammable and explosive. In addition, if you see a pale blue light under the Ancient Dragon's wing membrane, it means that she has entered the critical stage of becoming a berserker. Good luck to her.

　Realizing he couldn't escape, the hunter immediately ate the Nullifying Fruit, covered his face and exposed body parts completely with his personal tools, and lay on the ground, trying to remain motionless.

　Fortunately, the Lord of Reincarnation only brushed past the hunter, but the moment the young hunter's eyes met the Lord of Reincarnation's, his eyes were filled with tears. For him, that moment felt like an eternity.

　The old hunter intended to lead the young hunter away first, and they should be able to return to this place soon. However, the young hunter could not bear the thought of his mission failing, and since the hunting mission was not particularly difficult, he did not want to let such a good opportunity slip by.

　The young hunter forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body, turned his eyes to his left to look down at the towering cliff, suppressed the urge to say something to his companion, and turned his gaze back to the front.

　Two giant horns, the color of sand and gravel, protruded diagonally from the nearby grass, as if they were about to pierce the sky. They were made from the horns and shells of the horned dragons that inhabit the desert region, and were the shoulder guards of the Tyrant Horned Dragon Armor Set.

　Apart from the leg armor, the rest of his armor belonged to the Tyrant Diablos series. As for the legs, which did not originally exist in this series, he chose greaves made from the scales of the Umbrella Bird. However, the reason why this hunter wore such heavy armor was definitely not because he was afraid of death.

　One only needs to see the horn hanging from his waist to understand. This horn, made with special technology, can emit a loud sound that can attract the attention of monsters. The courage required to blow the horn at a monster is something that those who have never faced such a monster head-on cannot understand. However, looking at the powerful winged claws of the World Lord that grabbed him as easily as if he were a cookie, this hunter, who is already sixty years old but still stands on the front line, although the white hair mixed in with his black hair is becoming more and more noticeable, his arm strength has not declined. He can even withstand the attack of a female Rathalos. The hunter can only advise the young hunter to lie on the ground and play dead.

　A small horn, a little distance from the large horn on the shoulder guard, twitched slightly; it was the horn on the old hunter's helmet. Although he couldn't see the other's face, the young hunter could still feel his stern gaze directed in his direction, and he quickly turned his gaze back forward.

　Although the Reincarnation Lord had not left, it was most likely here to forage for food. As long as the Reincarnation Lord could not find food, it would naturally leave. However, they did not expect that the Reincarnation Lord had not left. Thanks to the protective measures taken beforehand, the two hunters did not inhale the Mad Dragon Virus, but the blackish-purple scales had already covered the hunters.

　The young hunter strained his eyes, trying to see exactly when the World Lord would leave, but the World Lord merely circled around a few times, showing no interest even in the corpse of the Siamese Weasel on the ground.

　So the Lord of the Returning World doesn't eat rotten flesh. If I can successfully return to Elgard, I must tell this information to the dragon-human scholars at the Ancient Dragon Research Institute.

　The young hunters were letting their minds wander to compensate for their inability to move, but what they didn't expect was that the enemies they faced were not limited to the Reincarnated One. In addition to the air, there were three other routes to enter the hunting area where the two hunters were located: a huge piece of driftwood on the river, a huge crack in the cliff, and a small slope between the river and the cliff.

　Before the hunt began, the young hunter felt fortunate, because those annoying giant insects, such as giant flying insects and giant beetles, which seemed impossible to kill, hadn't appeared today. As for why...

　Whether it was due to the climate, or perhaps they sensed what kind of monster was approaching and deliberately avoided it, the young hunter couldn't determine.

　In short, it's great that they're not here.

　Those insects, which are nearly the size of large dogs, have carapaces as sharp as sword blades and stingers that can spray venom that can paralyze their opponents. They are a headache in every hunt. The young hunter suddenly heard a sound coming from the grass and turned his gaze toward the riverbank. He couldn't help but sigh that sometimes, just thinking about insects can lead to insects actually appearing.

　However, the creature making the sound by rustling the damp grass was not an insect. Just as the young hunter was guessing what kind of creature it was, he heard something stepping through the grass, and he immediately held his breath.

　Although the sound was almost inaudible, the young hunter could tell from his intuition that the old hunter must have noticed it as well.

　He focused his attention on the direction of the shadowy spot under the rock face where the sound was coming from, but his glasses, accustomed to bright light, couldn't make out the situation inside the shadows.

　But after a while, the young hunter finally saw a few blue and white patterns, like lightning falling in the rain, hidden in the dark shadows.

　Of course, it won't rain during the day.

　The young hunter heard a gasp from his throat and felt more sweat beading on his skin beneath the red armor. As the shadows began to take shape, a triangular head with horn-like protrusions emerged from the darkness.

　It's a Tobi-Thunder Dragon!

　The young hunter groaned inwardly. He recalled his first encounter with the Tobi-Thunder Dragon. It was a cold winter day, and the hunter, unable to bear the static electricity, went to ask a companion who was quite knowledgeable in botany. His companion told him that he could discharge electricity by touching trees, and the bigger the tree, the better. So the young hunter believed him and went into the dense forest to touch trees. As a result, not only did he not solve the problem, but he also encountered the Tobi-Thunder Dragon.

　The static electricity was removed, but the young hunter was so shocked by the Tobi-Kadachi that he was almost cooked.

　Among carnivorous monsters, although the Tobi-Kadachi is classified as a large monster by the Hunter's Guild, it is actually relatively small and slender. The largest part of the Tobi-Kadachi's body is its tail, which accounts for almost half of its body. The tail can generate static electricity by rubbing against trees and the ground, so hunters can judge the Tobi-Kadachi's combat power by observing the development of its tail. In other words, the larger the tail, the more powerful the attack.

　As a species that spends most of its time hopping in trees, the Tobi-Kadachi is a remarkably agile and nimble animal, and it generally doesn't venture onto the ground. However, the young hunter observed a Tobi-Kadachi active on the ground. Furthermore, in the forests, dense woodlands, and ancient forests of the New World, the Tobi-Kadachi occupies a niche as a medium-sized predator. Generally speaking, a Tobi-Kadachi is capable of defeating monsters like the Great Jagras and the Korvern.

　However, the Tobi-Kadachi suddenly appeared on the ground at this moment. The only possibility the hunters could think of was that things might be getting complicated. Naturally, the Lord of the World hadn't left, and needless to say, a monster like the Tobi-Kadachi wouldn't last a single round against it. If it were the Scriveners' team, they would probably be happy to see the Lord of the World hunting, but not him. According to the contract with the Hunter's Guild, if the hunters couldn't achieve their objective by the end, then the hunt would be considered a failure.

　Young hunters naturally hope to avoid this situation as much as possible. Losing the contract fee is certainly regrettable, but reputation is even more important. Too many consecutive failures could mean never receiving a decent quest again. Since high-quality quests are already quite rare, people usually don't easily offer monster-hunting quests unless the situation is extremely dire and urgent, and guilds naturally try to assign these tasks to more capable hunters.

　While hunter rank is a reference point for judging a hunter's ability, the guild naturally places more emphasis on recent hunting results when selecting hunters.

　The young hunter slightly raised his body and reached for the hilt of the Greatsword Horned Dragon on his back. However, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze from behind, so he stopped drawing his sword. While being careful not to be discovered by the World Lord, the young hunter turned his head to look behind him. After meeting the old hunter's blue eyes, the old hunter mouthed a warning to him not to move and to look behind him.

　Moreover, the old hunter's eyes were clearly warning the young hunter not to make a move, but what the young hunter saw already left him no time to hide. An Anjanath was furiously crashing through trees and running out of the woods on the other side. The young hunter didn't have time to gesture to the old hunter to let him know that Anjanath had appeared. Fighting Anjanath and dealing with Tobi-Kadachi at the same time would be no easy task, but the young hunter still felt that he could definitely do it if he and the old hunter cooperated well. But don't forget that there was also a World Lord not far away.

　The young hunter held up a finger, pointed to the earthen slope by the river, and shouted, "Get out of here right now! Anjanath is coming!"

　retreat! ? ?

　The old hunter was initially suspicious

　The old hunter was puzzled as to what he was going to do when he heard the Anjanath appear. It was as if the old hunter could read his mind. He nodded, ignoring the dripping sweat from his helmet and protective gear and the sound of the gear clashing, and ran away.

　That's the Lord of Reincarnation, not someone to be trifled with.

　The Reincarnated One had naturally noticed the two hunters long ago. After yawning, he looked at the Tobi-Kadachi and the uninvited Anjanath. Lanmei patted the Reincarnated One's head and said softly, "I didn't expect that even the Forest Thug couldn't withstand the bites of those insects. Maybe they are the culprits."

　The Lord of Reincarnation nodded noncommittally, licked Lan Mei, kicked up a cloud of dark purple scales, jumped back, and then flapped his wings and claws to fly into the air.

　At this moment, the two hunters who had run far away turned back to check on the situation of the Wraith Lord, the Tobi-Kadachi, and the Anjanath. Then they saw the Wraith Lord descending from the sky and almost slamming the Tobi-Kadachi into the ground with one claw. The powerful downward force caused the Tobi-Kadachi to have its spine broken instantly, and it was dead beyond any doubt. The Tobi-Kadachi didn't even have time to react. It was a pity that the little bit of electricity it stored was not used. But it was good, because that electricity was not even able to penetrate the Wraith Lord's defense.

　"Roar~" Upon seeing the uninvited guest arrive, the ferocious Anjanath instinctively roared to scare the dragon away from its territory. Although the significant size difference caused the Anjanath to hesitate for a moment, the toxin injected by the parasitic insects had completely destroyed its rationality. After hesitating for less than a second, the Anjanath smelled the sticky dragon blood squeezed out by the Tobi-Kadachi, which led it to charge towards the World Lord without regard for its own safety.

　The Wanderer could not tolerate the creature that had defiled the food roaring at her, but she also knew that it was more likely the food's own lament or a cry for help. As the Anjanath charged at her, the Wanderer jumped to the side to avoid the Anjanath's charge, and then used the strength of one side of her body to slam the Anjanath into the mountain wall with a powerful Iron Mountain Lean.

　"Bang!" The massive body of the Anjanath crashed into the mountain wall, knocking down a large amount of rubble. The grubs on the Anjanath naturally sensed the immense life energy emanating from the World Lord. Most of the grubs cheered and left the Anjanath, then flew towards the World Lord. Of course, a small number of grubs were unwilling to leave and remained clinging tightly to the Anjanath, greedily sucking its essence.

　The Reincarnated Lord loathed these parasites. Seeing them flying towards him, he spat out a Mad Dragon Virus Ball, which killed a significant number of them. However, this death did not diminish the parasites' desire to reach their perfect host. The Reincarnated Lord watched as a large swarm of parasites flew towards him. Without hesitation, he opened his dragon mouth and sprayed a pale blue beam of light at the parasites.

　The grubs, scorched by the beams of light, emitted piercing cries and gradually turned to black ash. The Reincarnated One lowered its talons and roared at the sky. The young hunter initially thought that he and the old hunter had been discovered by the Reincarnated One, but that was not actually the case.

　The Lord of Reincarnation walked to the side of the Anjanath, as if to attack half of the Lord of Reincarnation. The remaining grubs did not fly away immediately, but kept hovering around the Anjanath. The grubs that had absorbed the Anjanath's essence became larger than before, and their red bodies were more vivid. Just as the grubs were obediently lying next to the Anjanath, the largest grub suddenly pounced on the Lord of Reincarnation.

　"Smack!" Without any hesitation, the Reincarnated One raised its wing claws and swatted the Gnawing Insect to death. After disdainfully shaking its wing claws, the Reincarnated One gave the remaining Gnawing Insects a death sentence. Azure flames instantly burned the Gnawing Insects to ashes. Only then did the Reincarnated One look at the lifeless Anjanath. At this moment, the Anjanath was already lifeless. After struggling a couple of times, it left this world with the help of the Reincarnated One.

　P.S.: No fun facts or witty remarks today, but I still hope everyone has a wonderful and happy day. Love you all! ~(●ˇˇ●)

　Volume 1: Chapter 378 - Admiral Gareas's Concerns

　Similar to the Sky Comet Dragon's ecological habits of searching for dragon vein nodes to replenish its dragon energy and traveling around the world, the Black Eclipse Dragon also does not have a fixed territory. It has been wandering around since birth, and after it matures and enters the molting period, it will head towards Sky Mountain. But why compare the Black Eclipse Dragon with the Sky Comet Dragon?

　Because the Celestial Wyvern did not exhibit any of the relevant habits, or rather, the Black Eclipse Dragon transformed into the Celestial Wyvern.

　Afterwards, it will only want to die, so the concept of territory does not apply to the Celestial Dragon. Of course, some scholars have summarized based on ecological reports that although the Black Eclipse Dragon does not have a fixed territory, after entering the berserk state, the Black Eclipse Dragon seems to regard the place it is in as its territory.

　But why did this Wanderer come to the hunter's hunting grounds?

　This question has been troubling the hunters of Elgard. Could it be that the unusual two wraiths, having roamed between the New World and the Old World, have altered their biological instincts, no longer choosing the highest points to spread their scales, but instead choosing to spread them on the plains? Or is it that the wraiths find something in this place that attracts them—the ley lines? Or the minerals?

　Yes, it was that Anjanath. According to the hunter, when the Anjanath rushed out of the forest, its entire body was covered with those red flying insects. Then, the Lord of the World killed the Tobi-Kadachi and the Anjanath with overwhelming force. It seems that the Lord of the World also hates those insects.

　Wait, could it be that the Lord of Reincarnation was actually tracking those insects? And coincidentally, that little guy also had some connection with those insects? Could it be? Bahari instantly felt immense fear. The thought that he might be living so close to a gigantic ancient dragon immediately put him under tremendous psychological pressure.

　As for the Lord of the World, she didn't care. As for the issue of territory, the young girl believed that the entire Elgard belonged to her. That's why she thought of finding the bad guy when she ate the spoiled meat in the tavern.

　Seeing that the little girl wanted to climb onto the stove to bite the uncooked meat, Lanmei had no choice but to pick her up and lift her high. When the Palicoes looked up and met the little girl's crimson-gold eyes, they couldn't help but tremble. After learning from the Palicoes that the meat was supplied by the hunting grounds, the little girl decided to wait for the prey to come to her, so she set her sights on the hunting grounds as her next target.

　"Boom!" The World Lord landed directly in the hunting ground without any concealment, crushing three innocent Kamaitachi Dragons. This caused the two hunters who were hunting Kamaitachi Dragons to have their adrenaline surge. The World Lord, which was more than 50 meters long, was definitely not something that the two of them could handle. Moreover, the Hunter Guild had a detailed description of the destructive power that the World Lord possessed.

　The Kamaitachi Dragon King, which was trying to escape, had its head crushed by the Reincarnation Lord. The Reincarnation Lord chewed on the Kamaitachi Dragon King's head a few times, then spat it out in disappointment. The Reincarnation Lord looked around with its crimson-gold pupils. The bad guy didn't seem to be here. Since that was the case, the Reincarnation Lord decided to lie down and rest for a while, waiting for the bad guy to appear.
