The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Melalu's eyes widened and it immediately told the little girl that there was a thief. However, it then saw the little girl standing next to it, happily licking her fingers. Melalu sighed helplessly. But what could it do? It had such a big eater. But it was also its fault. It should have prepared another bowl for the little girl. After making up its mind, Melalu began the second round of work.

　After frying the meatballs, put them into a clay pot, add water, salt, minced ginger and other seasonings, and simmer over low heat. Once the broth has thickened, place the blanched sea bamboo shoots and spiced greens around the edge of the pot and pour the broth over them.

　The young girl, who had tasted the meatballs, naturally knew how delicious the braised lion's head meatballs were. But the wyvern ribs next to it were made with wyvern lobsters that had just come of age, and she had just killed them. The wyvern meat was tender and had no fishy smell. The fatty pork belly, cut into small pieces, was skewered with colorful bell peppers, firm potatoes, and ghost onions, and then sprinkled with pepper, cumin, and fine salt. The crispy skin of the grilled meat emitted an enticing aroma over the fire. Of course, the ribs on the charcoal grill, brushed with honey, also exuded a rich meaty fragrance.

　The spine bones were chopped into small pieces and simmered in a clay pot with the neck and tail bones. After adding heavenly carrots, it became a rich and thick pork rib soup. After hesitating for a while, the young girl finally reached for the Flying Thunder Dragon Ribs. After all, she had already eaten braised lion's head meatballs, so she would eat the honey-glazed Flying Thunder Dragon Ribs first, which Lan Mei could understand.

　Watching the ponytail sway as the little girl ate, Lanmei put the stewed meat in her bowl into her mouth. Suddenly, she thought of something, quickly swallowed the meat, and walked behind the little girl. Then, she grabbed the little girl under her armpits and lifted her up. The little girl, her face covered in sauce, looked at Lanmei with an "O~O" expression, her tail already wrapped around Lanmei's leg. However, Lanmei simply gestured with her palm to indicate the little girl's height. Sure enough, although the little girl's true form had grown from fifty meters to fifty-three meters after molting, the difference was almost imperceptible in this new body.

　Seeing the little girl chewing the ribs with a silly look on her face, Lanmei couldn't help but chuckle. The little girl tilted her head and looked at Lanmei's smiling face. She didn't understand why Lanmei was laughing. She then turned to look at Melalu. The Melalu had just finished eating and were lying on the ground sunbathing with their eyes closed. The little girl could only smile foolishly and then served herself a plate of braised lion's head meatballs.

　After the meal, the little girl nestled contentedly on Lanmei's lap, while the Meralu were sorting through the remaining materials. Apart from the edible ribs, spine, and leg meat, the fur, thick scales, and claws were all materials needed by Elgard's hunters. Both female and male Rathalos materials were the most sought-after in Elgard. Of course, some hunters wanted to buy Elder Dragon materials, but what materials the Meralu could provide depended entirely on what the little girl had eaten, so pre-orders were not currently supported.

　As Lanmei expected, the little girl should soon fall asleep on her lap. Moreover, the little girl has now passed the molting stage, and her internal organs are now operating stably at a constant power. The little girl's body no longer feels like a furnace as before. Lanmei is quite happy that the little girl is so clingy to her. Suddenly, the little girl pushed herself up from Lanmei's lap with her hands.

　"What's wrong, can't sleep?"

　The little girl shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "No, it's that big bat and the real bad guy. The bad guy looks like he's about to crawl out."

　"Hey, if that guy knew those flying insects liked you more, he'd probably cry and scream."

　"Hmph, Hikaru doesn't like it, and the stinky bat has dirtied the meat here. The bad guy even tried to bully Hikaru, so Hikaru is going to teach it a lesson."

　"Roar!" The Silver Dragon groaned and arched its back. Flame followed behind Fiorena and Instructor Nitai, raising the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon] and aiming at the wound left by Instructor Nitai with the Radiant Fire Dragon. Relying on its powerful regenerative ability, the wound left by the Radiant Fire Dragon on the Silver Dragon's body had been covered with a layer of red flesh and tendons, and the bleeding had been temporarily stopped. At this moment, the blade flashed, and the wound burst open again, with dragon blood splattering everywhere.

　The Silver Dragon turned around angrily to face Flame and Fiorena, and began to inhale slowly but persistently. In this situation, Flame's body could not hesitate and immediately took action. He grabbed the hilt of the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon] with his right hand and drew it from its sheath. As the prey entered the attack range, he stomped the ground with both feet and slashed down from above.

　Before Blaze could react, the Silver Dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful breath attack from above. Blaze quickly threw out a Wirebug to pull itself out of the breath's range. The Silver Dragon, its eyes fixed on the hunter, raised its tail and lunged at Blaze. Instructor Ni Tai roared and raised his Shining Sword, the Fire Dragon, to strike with all its might. Fiore, though gritting her teeth and remaining silent, used the Steel Dragon Gale Blade to attack the Silver Dragon's side, trying to delay its attack.

　The Silver Dragon angrily spread its wing claws and spun around, its massive tail spear slicing across the ground. Flame gritted its teeth, took a step forward while holding the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon], and then swung the blade down. The Silver Dragon roared and unleashed several waves of air that struck Flame. Fiora shouted for Flame to dodge while continuing to attack the Silver Dragon's head.

　Fortunately, the four of them did not get too close to the Silver Dragon and were not harmed. The hunters had very few items left, including flashbangs, healing potions, and food. All they had left were their exhausted bodies, their beloved weapons and armor, and their trust in their companions. But whether it was Flame, Fiorena, Nitai, or Arlo, they felt no fear whatsoever.

　"If you can stand up, then give it a try! A hunter never gives up!"

　Despite the gnawing insects constantly eroding Lieyan's strength, Lieyan and the others did not give up their attack. Lieyan used his entire body to swing his Flying Dragon Blade [Moon] from right to left, followed by another slash in the opposite direction, accompanied by a roar as he swung his arm. Then, he squeezed out all the strength in his body and the last bit of stamina hidden in his heart to unleash his most powerful attack.

　"Clang!" In that instant, time seemed to stand still. The cone-shaped carapace at the end of the Silver Dragon's tail shattered, and fragments flew in all directions. A terrible roar, never heard before, echoed all around. Flame decisively created distance and quickly threw out the last flashbang to temporarily blind the Silver Dragon. In that instant, Flame noticed that the gnawing insects on the Silver Dragon's body had almost disappeared, and the black aura had become so faint that it was almost indistinguishable. It seemed that enough damage had been accumulated.

　Flame and Fiorena knew this was their last chance, and everyone had to give it their all. Although Flame, Fiorena, and the others were exhausted and were only swinging their weapons by sheer willpower, the four hunters were like a giant creature, completely suppressing the blind Silver Dragon.

　Flame fiercely swung the Flying Dragon Blade [Moon] at the Silver Dragon's forelimbs, while Fiora chose to continue attacking the relatively softer side abdomen. Ni Tai raised the Radiant Fire Dragon Sword on Fiora's other side, aiming it at the Silver Dragon's other hind leg. This heavy blow was not bounced back, but instead successfully crushed several hard shells.

　Once Jueyinlong's vision returned, it immediately unleashed a dragon roar. Lieyan, striding forward, fiercely swung her Flying Dragon Blade [Moon], thrusting and slashing. Just as Lieyan was about to raise her weapon again, her body was momentarily caught off guard. The enraged Jueyinlong met her gaze. "Soaring Aura!!!" Lieyan shouted. Despite being at her physical limit, perhaps intimidated by such power, Jueyinlong immediately leaped back a large step.

　And that shout used up all of Lie's strength.

　With her last bit of strength, Yan felt all her strength drain away, and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel on the ground. Her gaze remained fixed on Jue Yinlong, but her body was completely immobile. In her eyes, this final moment was terrifyingly slow.

　Suddenly, the sky changed color. "Bang!" The huge figure slammed the Silver Dragon against the mountain wall after landing. A lot of rubble and debris fell down. The Silver Dragon, whose gnawing insects had been almost all blown up by the hunters, struggled a few times and then fell silent as if it had died. The Lord of the World let out an even louder roar towards the sky, ignoring the hunters' desperate eyes, flapped its huge wings and slowly rose upward.

　The Returning Lord had actually left, completely unaware of the hunters on the ground who had exhausted everything. And even if they had noticed, almost none of the hunters could stand up and confront it.

　On the other side, seeing the Lord of the Underworld shining in the sky and staring at the colossal creature underground, Bahari immediately rushed to the nearest location where he could observe the Lord of the Underworld. Lucica and the dragon-man doctor followed. After reaching the best observation position, Lucica immediately led the knights present to set up a simple camp. Soon, after receiving the news, Admiral Gareas led a team of dragon-man scholars to the scene. At first, they thought they had come here specifically to collect and organize records about the Underworld Dragon, but they never expected that they would see the Lord of the Underworld.

　"Admiral Gareas, what exactly is that monster?"

　After hearing Lucia's words, Galeas did not reply. Instead, he looked at the dragonman scholar. The dragonman scholar flipped through his book for a while before slowly speaking, "Its deeds have appeared in the kingdom's nursery rhymes. After disappearing, it reappeared. Where did it go? In the rhymes, it is called the Abyss Demon, the monster that dug the hole and caused the disaster fifty years ago."

　"Abyssal demons? A giant hole? Aren't those the commotions caused by the Silver Dragon? And we are precisely here to fight the Silver Dragon."

　"No, to be precise, the Silver Dragon is also a victim. To get back to the point, the root cause of everything we've seen lies in this heavyweight, super-large ancient dragon species. Considering its previous actions, the guild has just named it the Abyss Dragon."

　"The Netherworld Dragon? And what about the Silver Dragon?"

　"This brings us to a key creature, or rather, a character: the Gnawing Worm. Ultimately, the Gnawing Worm's original host was the Abyss Dragon. Fifty years ago, the Abyss Dragon appeared in the kingdom, and the Silver Dragon, which considered the kingdom its territory, drove it away. However, the Silver Dragon was eventually infected by the Gnawing Worms released by the Abyss Dragon. Under prolonged parasitism, the Silver Dragon gradually lost its mind and became the Silver Dragon we see today. Even though the Silver Dragon achieved symbiosis, some of the Gnawing Worms that infected the Silver Dragon still traveled back and forth between the Silver Dragon and the Abyss Dragon, absorbing the Silver Dragon's essence and giving it to the Abyss Dragon."

　"Now that the Netherworld Dragon has emerged from underground, that means..."

　"Yes, the Abyss Dragon sensed the death of the Silver Dragon or that its strength had been weakened to the point that the Abyss Dragon felt it was no longer a threat. This is both good news and bad news. On the other hand, the plague that everyone knows about occurred after the Abyss Dragon was defeated and fled. Most of the parasites didn't have time to escape, but the parasites couldn't absorb the essence from humans and only left behind the virus, so the plague occurred. After the Abyss Dragon was defeated by the Silver Dragon, it began a life of escape."

　"So, the large hole we were observing was also the work of the Netherworld Dragon?"

　"Yes, you can tell what happened before by how the Abyss Dragon appeared on the ground this time. And as you all know, we've been investigating the big hole. The big hole is full of water. That time, the Silver Dragon happened to dig to the seabed, causing the seawater to flood in, so it fled in panic. As a result, when the Silver Dragon appeared here, the Abyss Dragon was already gone. That's why we identified the Silver Dragon as the creator of the big hole at the time."

　Everyone was shocked when they heard the news. Although they didn't want to admit it, since the dragon race scholars had said so, then that must be the case. They never imagined that there would be such a coincidence in the world. Looking at the Reincarnated Lord in the sky, Bahari suddenly thought of something.

　“Admiral Gareas, just as I predicted, little Hikari and Miss Aran did not appear in Elgard, and they have not been carrying out any commissions recently. That means that the Lord of Reincarnation is here, which proves that my previous guess was correct. That little guy is the Lord of Reincarnation.”

　"Then, could it be that Miss Alan is also up to something? Wait, what is the Lord of Reincarnation doing? Why are those gnawing insects allowed to approach?"

　Volume 1: Chapter 391 - The Return of the Demon and the Angel of Salvation

　"I did it! I finally did it! The aura of that wretched iron lump has finally disappeared! Hahahaha, I did it!"

　"Fifty years! A full fifty years! Do you know how I've lived these fifty years?! Being driven away by that bastard, humiliated from..."

　He escaped from that bastard, lay low for a long time, and was just about to emerge from the shadows when he almost drowned. Now he lives a life of constant fear and frugality!

　“But today I’m leaving the underworld and returning to the surface. Mirapolias and Elbatelion can’t stop me, I said it!”

　The Abyss Dragon, which had been dozing underground, suddenly opened its eyes. Judging from the pheromones emitted by the Gnawing Insects, its nemesis, the Silver Dragon, had stopped breathing. The Abyss Dragon's emotions were like a rollercoaster. Its yellowish-brown pupils emitted a strange light in the dark underground. The Abyss Dragon was able to learn this news so quickly thanks to those Gnawing Insects. Although most of the Gnawing Insects it released during that great battle were devoted to the Silver Dragon, a small number of them would still secretly contact it.

　The Abyss Dragon stretched its body, shaking off the rubble on its surface. Since escaping from the Kingdom to this land, the Abyss Dragon had been digging tunnels and releasing parasites whenever it had free time. To date, the Abyss Dragon has dug tens of thousands of meters of tunnels. The Abyss Dragon quickly followed the tunnel to the thinnest part of the soil above its head. This little bit of soil on its head posed almost no challenge to it.

　The Abyss Dragon stretched out its wing claws and forcefully dug through the soil above its head. The outward-growing claws could maximize the area that the Abyss Dragon could dig. The collapsing soil was then thrown behind the Abyss Dragon, while large chunks of rock were smashed and piled behind it by the Abyss Dragon with its huge tail with five hooked claws. After persisting in this way for a while, the soil on the Abyss Dragon's head gradually could not hold up and fell down.

　Despite the damp soil falling from above, the Abyss Dragon clung firmly to the sides of the cave. Perhaps due to the presence of buildings on the ground, it didn't waste much time before reaching the surface. After shaking off the broken stone pillars and blue bricks on its back, the Abyss Dragon discovered that it had emerged from the ruins of an old building. And this time, it was lucky; only a small amount of seawater had flooded into the cave, posing no real threat.

　Looking at the long-lost scenery outside and feeling the damp but fresh air, the Nether Abyss Dragon suddenly felt that the grievances of the past fifty years were nothing. Moreover, the Gnawing Worms that had left because of the death of the Silver Dragon were gradually approaching the Nether Abyss Dragon. Sensing the return of a large number of Gnawing Worms, the Nether Abyss Dragon felt that it was gradually taking control of everything.

　On the ground, hunters who had heard the commotion were busily setting up camp, while members of the scribe team who had followed were observing and recording the behavior of the Abyssal Dragon. As the Hunter's Guild's intelligence indicated, the Abyssal Dragon was the true host of the Gnawing Worms, while the true nature of the Silver Dragon remained unknown. Regarding the plague, the dragonkin physician was still in Elgard, and the antidote needed to prevent the plague caused by the Gnawing Worms had already been prepared. Therefore, even if a plague broke out, the hunters could quickly contain its spread, and the Hunter's Guild was not overly concerned.

　"We received a message from Fiolena that the Lord of the World just appeared over there, killed the Silver Dragon, and left. However, due to the issue of defeating the Silver Dragon, Flame and the other three cannot join the battle against the Abyss Dragon at this stage."

　Bahari nodded in sudden realization, “So that’s the reason. In the previous territorial battle, the Abyss Dragon was defeated by the Silver Dragon. Therefore, the Abyss Dragon dares not show itself in the Silver Dragon’s territory. Once the Silver Dragon dies, the Abyss Dragon, having lost its opponent, will leave the underground world and appear on the surface. This is indeed in accordance with the abyss demon in the nursery rhyme.”

　Lucika looked at Bahari and said in confusion, "But now the Lord of Reincarnation has appeared. According to the information we have now, the Netherworld Dragon is no match for the Lord of Reincarnation, so why is the Netherworld Dragon here?"

　This question stunned Bahari, who hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps this is the first meeting between the Lord of the World and the Abyss Dragon. The Abyss Dragon doesn't know anything about the Lord of the World's background. Moreover, if a territorial dispute occurs between ancient dragons, it's unlikely to escalate into a death match."

　Bahari had just finished speaking when he noticed that Gareas, who should have been directing the hunters, had come to his side. "After all, they are all Elder Dragons. Elder Dragons don't meet often. When Elder Dragons, who are at the top of the ecosystem, go out, they are always accompanied by natural disasters. But if the location of the territorial dispute is close to human territory, it will be a devastating disaster for the city. The hunters must stop it."

　"If that's the case, how should we stop the Abyss Dragon and the Reincarnated Lord?"

　"Speaking of which, this is precisely why I haven't been in Elgard all this time. I've commissioned Flamefire Village to build a hunting ship based on the ship that arrived in Elgard. According to my design, the hunting ship is equipped with three Dragon Piercers and one Blast Dragon Piercer, and the launch chamber has been reinforced, with a range of up to one hundred meters. Even an Elder Dragon would not be unharmed after being hit by a Blast Dragon Piercer."

　Standing amidst a swarm of gnawed insects, the Nether Abyss Dragon's body reflected a red glow, highlighting the eeriness within its massive form. The Nether Abyss Dragon paid no heed to these upright creatures invading its territory, but it wouldn't allow them to roam freely either. Out of the corner of its eye, it noticed the stones it had dug out and piled up nearby. The Nether Abyss Dragon slowly extended its powerful talons, firmly grasped the stones, and flung them towards the hunters' camp.

　"boom!"

　Three-person-high stones

　A graceful parabola crashed straight into the hunter's newly set-up camp. The dragon-human scholar, who had just been recording data on the Abyss Dragon, was suddenly pulled away by the hunter. He was seething with resentment and was about to reprimand the hunter when he saw a huge boulder fall from the sky, kicking up dust that covered his mouth. He froze on the spot, and even though he had been on several expeditions with the hunter's team, it took him a while to recover.

　The Abyss Dragon watched the upright creatures scattering across the ground and withdrew its gaze with satisfaction. Indeed, it was the true ruler of this place. Just as it was about to leave, the Abyss Dragon suddenly remembered that it had forgotten something, but it couldn't recall what it was. Since it was something it had forgotten, the Abyss Dragon figured it was probably nothing important, so it didn't dwell on it. It opened its petal-like mouth like a blower and sucked the blood-sucking gnawing worms into its stomach before letting out a satisfied burp.

　These upright creatures not only cannot provide vital energy, but the newly hatched parasites will also die if they parasitize humans. Therefore, these upright creatures are not to be trifled with for the Abyss Dragon. Judging from the pheromones of the parasites, there are more monsters gathered in the Waterless Forest. Moreover, the Silver Dragon is dead and is now the ruler of this area. The Abyss Dragon did not even glance at the hunters and turned to walk towards the Waterless Forest.

　Before the Nether Dragon had gone far, the gnawing insects around its body suddenly began to stir. Just as the Nether Dragon was wondering why the gnawing insects were stirring, a familiar yet unfamiliar aura appeared, and the Nether Dragon suddenly remembered what it had forgotten.

　It's that guy who manipulated the earth's veins back then!

　"Damn it, damn it, there's that guy too! Why did I forget about him?!"

　Only then did the Abyss Dragon recall what it had forgotten. Yes, it had forgotten that when it was sleeping underground, the abnormal backflow of the ley lines made it want to leave this place. That sense of potential danger was nothing compared to the oppression brought by the Silver Dragon. Unfortunately, the Abyss Dragon changed its mind and thought that since it could manipulate the ley lines and had not interfered with them, it should not notice it. In the end, the Abyss Dragon did not choose to leave this place.

　The Nether Abyss Dragon looked at the Reincarnation Lord, who was flying in mid-air with its wings spread. According to the hunter's estimation, the Nether Abyss Dragon was 48 meters long, while the Reincarnation Lord was 53 meters long. Strangely, both ancient dragons were four-limbed, two-winged, and two-legged ancient dragons, but the Nether Abyss Dragon looked more like a six-legged ancient dragon than the Reincarnation Lord. Sensing the aura emanating from the Reincarnation Lord, which was definitely different from that of the Silver Dragon, the Nether Abyss Dragon subconsciously wanted to escape.

　"But I've already escaped once. If I escape in such a sorry state again, what am I? A red Velociraptor?!"

　The Nether Abyss Dragon's wings trembled as it tried to leave, but looking at the Reincarnated Lord in the sky, it was unwilling to leave just like that. Even a draw, like with the Silver Dragon, would be better.

　What? You're saying that doesn't count as a draw? If the Nether Abyss Dragon could also transform into human form, it would definitely blush and argue, "A-Jue can't be considered a winner, it's a draw, do you even know what a draw is? Can an ancient dragon be considered a loser?" Then it would go on to say incomprehensible things, like "the fall of evil" and "the biting insects are my Nether Abyss Dragon's," etc. If Xiao Guang and Lan Mei were there, they would definitely burst into laughter.

　What frustrated the Netherworld Dragon the most was that the Gnawing Worm wanted to abandon its host, which had been with it for thousands of years, after meeting the World Lord. You should know that the Gnawing Worm and the Netherworld Dragon should have switched places. If the Gnawing Worm had abandoned its host, it might not have survived a single move against the Silver Dragon.

　Most importantly, its character design is gone! It already overlapped somewhat with the Celestial Dragon, and if the Gnawing Worm also abandons it, then it will truly be the most shameful Elder Dragon, even more shameful than Agan!

　The Lord of Returning Worlds was flying in the air, looking down at the Abyss Dragon on the ground. This scene reminded the Abyss Dragon of the scene when it was defeated by the Silver Dragon in the kingdom. It was just like that back then. The Silver Dragon used its advantage of flight and the fact that its whole body could be used for both defense and offense to attack the Abyss Dragon. Although the Gnawing Worms kept trying to inject the virus into the Silver Dragon's body, the Silver Dragon resisted the virus's erosion with the willpower of a startled dragon and even cut off the Abyss Dragon's horn.

　The story ended with the Silver Dragon losing its mind due to infection by the gnawing worms, and the Netherworld Dragon having one of its wing limbs almost severed. Looking at the World Lord in the sky, whose back and wings were covered with sword-like scales and whose giant horn on its head grew backward like a crown, the Netherworld Dragon was at a loss for what to do.

　Should we fight? With my current strength, the best outcome would probably be a battle against Jueyinlong.

　Should I avoid him? If I avoid him, do I have to lie low for another fifty years? And given the current situation, this guy is no worse than Jueyinlong. What if it's hundreds of years? There's only the sea around me, where can I go?

　The Abyss Dragon kept extending and retracting its wings. Just when the Abyss Dragon was at a loss, the Gnawing Insects that had been surrounding the Abyss Dragon couldn't contain themselves and rushed towards the World Lord. To the hunters, this scene looked like the Abyss Dragon was commanding the Gnawing Insects to attack the World Lord, but only the Abyss Dragon knew that the Gnawing Insects were about to establish their own faction.

　"Damn it, come back, all of you, come back!"

　Come! I am your host!

　The Reincarnated Lord has never liked the Gnawing Worms. His crimson-gold pupils swept over the approaching Gnawing Worms without any change in expression. Just as the Gnawing Worms were about to reach him, the Reincarnated Lord spat out several spheres of Mad Dragon Virus. The Mad Dragon Virus exploded instantly upon contact with the Gnawing Worms, and countless Gnawing Worm corpses fell from the sky. Of course, two spheres of Mad Dragon Virus landed directly next to the Nether Abyss Dragon. The violent explosion made the Nether Abyss Dragon, who was hiding behind and trying to escape, narrow its eyes and look at the Reincarnated Lord.

　The hunters were dumbfounded by what they saw. Was this some kind of 3:30-minute family drama?

　Just as the Netherworld Dragon raised its wings, two spheres of the Mad Dragon Virus spat out by the Reincarnation Lord landed beside it and exploded. Only then did the Netherworld Dragon realize the reality: the Reincarnation Lord had no intention of letting it go. Since that was the case, the Netherworld Dragon decided to take a gamble. It carried the energy treasured by the Inner Moth Worms for decades. The Reincarnation Lord was nothing to it; it, the Netherworld Dragon, would fight!

　The Abyss Dragon took a deep breath, slightly raised its upper body, and opened its petal-like mouth, squeezing the air in its abdomen to roar at an astonishing volume. Even hunters a mountain away could hear the roar. The Lord of Reincarnation raised its head and also let out an explosive roar in the air. The Abyss Dragon decided to strike first, raising its wing claws to grab a rock from the side and throwing it at the Lord of Reincarnation.

　The stones weren't flying fast, and Hui Shi Zhu easily dodged them by slightly folding his dragon wings and turning his body to the side. Seeing this, the Nether Abyss Dragon on the ground grabbed stones and threw them at Hui Shi Zhu one after another. Unfortunately, this clumsy technique almost never hit the target. The stones shattered upon impact with the mountain wall, causing a large amount of debris to fall. Hui Shi Zhu threw out several swarms of Mad Dragon Virus to envelop the Nether Abyss Dragon, then grabbed the nearest stone and charged towards the Nether Abyss Dragon.

　"boom!"

　The rock slammed heavily onto the head of the Nether Abyss Dragon. The Nether Abyss Dragon felt stars before its eyes and instinctively opened its mouth to bite the Reincarnation Lord. However, the Reincarnation Lord had already jumped out of the Nether Abyss Dragon's attack range after landing, causing the Nether Abyss Dragon's attack to miss. The Nether Abyss Dragon shook its head and looked at the Reincarnation Lord in front of it. From the moment it decided to fight the Reincarnation Lord, the Nether Abyss Dragon became serious.

　Black and red breath rose from the mouth of the Abyss Dragon. The moment its gaze locked onto the Reincarnated Lord, it slightly rose and unleashed a massive fireball at him. The fireball exploded upon impact. The Reincarnated Lord, realizing the Abyss Dragon's intention, had already leaped aside to avoid the fireball's attack. Seeing its attack ineffective, the Abyss Dragon then lowered its head and charged straight at the Reincarnated Lord.

　"boom!"

　The two charging behemoths collided immediately. The hunters closest to them even felt the ground tremble. The Abyss Dragon opened its massive jaws, trying to bite the Reincarnation Lord, and then raised its winged legs to strike. The Reincarnation Lord glanced sideways at the Abyss Dragon's poised winged legs, and then rammed into the Abyss Dragon. Taking advantage of the Abyss Dragon's unsteady center of gravity, the Reincarnation Lord used Iron Mountain Strike, directly ramming the Abyss Dragon with the side of its body.

　After rolling on the ground, the Nether Abyss Dragon stood up using its winged feet. Because it often used its winged feet to dig in the soil, the Nether Abyss Dragon's original limbs showed signs of atrophy. The Lord of Reincarnation turned around and raised its wing claws to strike. The Nether Abyss Dragon immediately spewed out a series of fan-shaped explosive balls of breath in front of it. The Lord of Reincarnation's wing claws struck down, and the violent explosion stained the Lord of Reincarnation's platinum wing claws with a layer of black ash.

　Besides the battle between Hui Shi Zhu and the Nether Abyss Dragon, the parasites were also constantly biting Hui Shi Zhu and injecting parasite viruses into her body. Although mosquito bites are not fatal, they are itchy. Moreover, as more and more parasites attached to her body, even her wing membranes were covered with a large number of parasites. This caused Hui Shi Zhu's center of gravity to shift slightly. Although Hui Shi Zhu's initial idea was to ignore these parasites, she no longer wanted to do so.

　"Roar~" The wings of the Reincarnated Lord collided with those of the Nether Abyss Dragon. Sharp sword-like scales rubbed against the Nether Abyss Dragon's hellish scales, creating a spark. The Reincarnated Lord forcefully tried to pin the Nether Abyss Dragon down. As the Nether Abyss Dragon struggled, parasitic worms continuously floated out from its body and attached themselves to the Reincarnated Lord. After the parasitic worms had absorbed enough energy from the Reincarnated Lord, they fed back to the Nether Abyss Dragon. The Reincarnated Lord then spat out a large amount of Mad Dragon Virus from its mouth in a fan shape. Just as the Nether Abyss Dragon was about to dodge, the Reincarnated Lord opened its mouth.

　She wasn't trying to bite anything, but rather using the momentum to make her upper and lower teeth collide. This was the ignition device for the Mad Dragon Virus. "Boom!" The roar of the explosion and the purple flash forced the Abyss Dragon to close its eyes. Under this explosion, three or four out of ten of the grubs on the World Lord's body also died.

　The Nether Abyss Dragon knew it couldn't let the Reincarnation Lord continue exploding like this, otherwise the gnawing insects on its body would die at the Reincarnation Lord's hands sooner or later. The Nether Abyss Dragon then raised its wing claws and swept them across the Reincarnation Lord, forcing her back. Then it opened its big mouth and quickly contracted its abdomen, creating a strong air pressure in front of it, sucking all the corpses of the gnawing insects into its belly.

　Looks like this guy isn't that strong! The parasites absorb her essence and then transfer it to me. The stronger she is, the stronger I become. In short, I'm going to win. Even if she kills these parasites, they'll still end up in my mouth!

　Just as the Abyss Dragon was happily contemplating how to slowly grind down the Reincarnated Lord, a large sphere of Mad Dragon Virus was already at its mouth. It was fine to absorb the parasites, and inhaling a certain amount of Mad Dragon Virus wouldn't be a problem, but it certainly didn't want to absorb as much as...

　Too much of the mad dragon virus will cause indigestion.

　But as soon as the Netherworld Dragon closed its mouth, several clusters of Mad Dragon Virus exploded, and a thick, dark purple fog immediately enveloped the Netherworld Dragon's head.

　Volume 1: 392 - Expelliarmus! Your weapons? No, your tongue!

　"Speaking of which, the Lord of Reincarnation shouldn't have a mating season, right? So why is it fighting with the Abyss Dragon for territory? The Lord of Reincarnation shouldn't have a fixed habitat."

　"The Reincarnation Lord was born in the New World. The exact time is unknown, but according to the earliest observation report from the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team, it should be five or six years old, right? It is clearly still a young dragon. As for the mating season, even the Heavenly Reincarnation Dragon does not have that. Where would the Reincarnation Lord have it?"

　Suddenly, Lucia, who was standing to the side, thought of something and clapped her hands in realization. "I know! If it's as Bahari imagined, do you remember what happened at the tavern before? Little Guang said there was something wrong with the meat at the tavern, but given the source of the meat, there shouldn't be any problem. At the time, the matter was left unresolved. But now we can be certain that the prey at that time was most likely eaten by gnawing insects, which led Little Guang to notice something."

　"You mean this territorial dispute was driven by hunger, right?"

　"That's probably true. Although the ancient dragon species are very intelligent, they are very simple-minded. Moreover, based on Fiona and the others' understanding of Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang has very high requirements for food. If you put yourself in their shoes, it suddenly makes sense."

　The intense Mad Dragon Virus exploded in front of the Nether Abyss Dragon, instantly blinding it. The Nether Abyss Dragon let out a panicked growl and quickly raised its head, intending to leave the area covered by the Mad Dragon Virus. However, in its haste, it failed to regulate its breathing, and the Mad Dragon Virus was directly absorbed into its trachea, which caused the Nether Abyss Dragon to cough violently.

　The Nether Abyss Dragon arched its body, about to spit out the Mad Dragon Virus from its mouth, when it saw the Wandering Lord's wing claws already stretched out in front of it. The purple steel claws, accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air, directly grabbed the Nether Abyss Dragon's neck. The Nether Abyss Dragon roared angrily and turned its head to bite the Wandering Lord's wing.

　The Lord of Reincarnation had no choice but to grab the head of the Nether Abyss Dragon and forcefully press it onto its shoulder. Some of the red crystals on its shoulder were also knocked off by the Nether Abyss Dragon's face, and the Nether Abyss Dragon's bite missed. The Nether Abyss Dragon could only raise its left wing claw and frantically pry at the Lord of Reincarnation's wing claw, trying to break free from its grip. However, the Lord of Reincarnation, with its advantage in weight, found its wing claw tightening its hold.

　The Netherworld Dragon struggled to raise its right wing claw and stab at the side of the Reincarnation Lord's abdomen. The Reincarnation Lord also raised its wing claw and swept it at the Netherworld Dragon. "Boom!" The Reincarnation Lord's blade scales collided with the Netherworld Dragon's thick scales, detonating the red crystals that had fallen from the Netherworld Dragon's body. As the Reincarnation Lord and the Netherworld Dragon began to wrestle, the scales rubbed together with a teeth-grinding sound. Then the Netherworld Dragon felt a sharp pain and looked down to see that the Reincarnation Lord's blade scales had pierced into its body, and dragon blood gushed out.

　Just as the Netherworld Dragon was distracted, the struggle between the Reincarnation Lord and the Netherworld Dragon came to a conclusion. Compared to the Reincarnation Lord, the Netherworld Dragon's limbs were very disproportionate. This was mainly because the Netherworld Dragon had lived underground for a long time, and only its wings were frequently used. Therefore, in the struggle with the Reincarnation Lord, its strength was not inferior, but its original limbs showed signs of atrophy due to lack of frequent use. Its forelimbs could still support its body, but its hind limbs were practically useless.

　This allowed the Lord of Rebirth to suppress the Abyss Dragon simply by standing on all fours. As the Lord of Rebirth's massive mouth, lined with dagger-like sharp teeth, drew ever closer, the Abyss Dragon knew that if it didn't do something, the Lord of Rebirth's sharp teeth would mercilessly pierce its body. The Abyss Dragon let out a short roar and fell to the ground, causing the Lord of Rebirth to miss its bite. The gnawing insects on its body then left the Abyss Dragon's body and flew towards the Lord of Rebirth.

　Seeing that these hateful grubs were about to land on him, the Wanderer decisively released his wing claws, took a small step back, and with a "bang," kicked the Nether Abyss Dragon directly with his hind legs, thus moving away from the flying grubs. Then, he spat out three Mad Dragon Virus Balls in front of him, instantly killing the nearest grub.

　This kick almost made the Netherworld Dragon vomit up its dinner from the night before. Oh well, it didn't eat anything last night.

　The Abyss Dragon swayed as it rose from the ground. What a humiliation this was! Even when facing the Silver Dragon, it had never felt this way.

　Having felt wronged, Hui Shi Zhu stood not far away, quietly watching the Nether Abyss Dragon, seemingly waiting for it to make a move. Would it leap high, run fast, or use a roar to attack? Or would it keep spinning its body to launch an attack? But after the Nether Abyss Dragon roared, it plunged its brown wing claws into the seabed, and then suddenly lifted its wing limbs with force.

　With the movement of its wing limbs, moss-covered rocks flew towards the Revenant Lord. Although they were just rocks, their power and momentum were not to be underestimated, but only to the hunter. The Revenant Lord turned its body to dodge the first rock that came, then swung its tail to smash the rocks behind it. At the same time, the Abyss Dragon crouched down and charged towards the Revenant Lord in a very low posture.

　The Abyss Dragon charged towards the Reincarnation Lord with its mouth wide open, its momentum seemingly intent on devouring everything in its path. It didn't even seem to care about the Reincarnation Lord's raging dragon virus, letting it explode around it. Just as the Reincarnation Lord raised its right wing claw, gathering strength in mid-air to smash down on the Abyss Dragon, the Abyss Dragon suddenly twisted its body with all its might, its muscles converging, and then burst forth, aiming for the Reincarnation Lord's neck as it pounced.
