The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Ancient Dragon Magic: Falling Star!

　This was the blow that brought down a star.

　However, just as the young girl was about to shoot down the dragon ship in the air, Lan Mei, who was carrying a juice, happened to come to the young girl's side. Moreover, because the young girl had carelessly thrown the melon rind nearby, Lan Mei, who was observing the dragon ship, did not notice that she stepped on the melon rind.

　Lan Mei, who was staggering, finally managed to steady herself. However, in the process, she pulled the little girl. Fortunately, it was Lan Mei's pull that caused the little girl's beam attack to miss the Dragon Sense Ship. Even so, the little girl's beam still broke through the protection of the clouds. It is unknown where it finally hit.

　Just before the young girl's beam attack arrived, Sereria happened to turn her head to find another place to continue observing. However, by sheer coincidence, and after the beam attack dissipated, Sereria turned her head back, which can be described as quite a coincidence.

　But Sereria still looked up as if she sensed something, and what she saw made her feel unbelievable. There was a big hole in the clouds in the sky.

　When did the hole appear? Who made it? And why was it made? A series of questions flooded Sereria's mind. But the truth was, Sereria knew absolutely nothing about the situation and could only stare blankly at the hole in the sky.

　However, it was very likely a mysterious phenomenon caused by meteorological activity. Just as Sereria thought this and turned around, she suddenly noticed a sliver of emerald light shining through a hole in the cloud. The light was very conspicuous among the white clouds, but it quickly disappeared.

　Sereria no longer had any interest in searching for the Reincarnated One. Instead, she stared blankly at the hole in the clouds in the sky. If she wasn't dreaming, it must be a monster living in the ultra-high altitude. There was only one known monster living in the ultra-high altitude, and that was the Sky Comet Dragon.

　But the color of the dragon aura emitted from the Sky Comet should be crimson, not this emerald green. Or is it actually a subspecies of the Sky Comet?

　The young girl also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky, but unlike Sereria, she guessed quite accurately what kind of monster it might be. However, she had never seen it before, so she couldn't say what it was.

　In order to avoid spilling the juice, Lanmei finally managed to stabilize her body in an extremely difficult posture, resisting the urge to transform back into Lanlong as her body was being torn apart. Lanmei slowly moved her feet and gradually stood up from the ground. Unfortunately, Lanmei missed the strange color in the clouds.

　"Ouch, that still hurts a bit. Hikaru, were you planning to knock that thing down?"

　"Mmm~" The little girl nodded with an OVO expression.

　"That won't do, Xiaoguang, you absolutely can't do that, you know?"

　The little girl tilted her head, her expression changing from OVO to o_O, seemingly not understanding why Lanmei would say that. Seeing the little girl's confused look, Lanmei placed the juice next to her and said, "You know Balfaruk, right?"

　"Hmm, it's red, hot, and runs very fast—it doesn't taste good!"

　The reddish color likely refers to the color of Balfaruk, though its scales should be bluish-green. Yes, Balfaruk's dragon breath is crimson red. As for the scorching heat, the temperature of its dragon breath is quite high, given the propulsion required.

　Given the sheer size of Balfaruk, the rate at which energy is burned within its body must be terrifying.

　As for running very fast, Balfaruk lives in the very high altitude airspace, and the young girl had met Balfaruk once before. At that time, the young girl seemed to be biting Balfaruk's tail to prevent him from taking off. As for not being tasty, Lanmei remembered that the young girl said that the blood of the Sky Comet Dragon had a kerosene smell.

　Moreover, the meat smelled rotten, so the young girl had absolutely no interest in it, but that's not what Lanmei wanted to say.

　"Yeah, that's the guy. You should know that Balfaruk was first discovered in the Remains Ridge. Do you know how Balfaruk was discovered?"

　I don't know~

　"That's because Balfaruk also attacked these things made by the upright creatures. Balfaruk was living happily on the cloud top, and then one day when he went out to have some fun, Balfaruk crashed directly into this thing built by the upright creatures. Balfaruk didn't do it on purpose."

　Lanmei handed the juice to the little girl, took a sip herself to moisten her throat, and continued, "But the upright creatures began to hunt down Balfaruk in order to observe him. As a result, Balfaruk was beaten up at the top of the Remains Ridge, and many of his scales were stripped off until all of his scales were replaced with new ones."

　"How silly~"

　Lanmei patted the little girl's head. Sure enough, the little girl was just a little girl. Her way of thinking was so simple. Since other creatures were a threat to her, she could just kill them. It was simple, right? But Lanmei knew about upright creatures. Their vitality was even stronger than that of cockroaches, and their intelligence was only slightly less than that of ancient dragons.

　The little girl nodded as if she understood, but she was a bit confused. She had clearly seen some kind of creature living above the clouds, so why was Lan Mei telling her about Balfaruk and the upright creatures? However, compared to those things, the little girl was more interested in that magical creature.

　"There was something green in the clouds just now."

　Lanmei was stunned for a moment when she heard the little girl say that, and then asked suspiciously, "Xiaoguang, do you mean that there are creatures like us above the clouds?"

　Volume 1: Chapter 508 - The events of that day are still unknown

　The young girl nodded very firmly. In her perception, the guy in the ultra-high altitude airspace had a similar body size to Lan Mei. Not only was his body length similar, but his skeletal structure was also very similar. However, unlike Lan Mei, who relied on the flying membrane and airflow to soar through the sky, that guy's flight method was more like jet takeoff.

　That guy had no intention of chasing after her, and given the current distance, if the young girl wanted to catch up, he would probably be long gone. Besides, the young girl wasn't even sure if he was tasty or not; if he wasn't, chasing him would be too costly.

　Thinking of this, the young girl lost all interest in chasing after him.

　Lanmei squinted and looked in the direction the little girl was looking. Sure enough, that guy was resting in the clouds high in the sky. The ancient dragon magic that the little girl fired did not affect it. Moreover, the other party was also an ancient dragon, just like her. But that guy was very different from her. Did it have claws?

　If the most experienced elder were here, he would surely recognize the monster high in the sky. It is a monster that exists in fairy tales and legends, an existence that no one had ever observed before the Dragon Ship was built. It is the highest peak of the ancient dragons, with a graceful flying posture in the sky, possessing the terrifying power to rule the entire sky, the Sky Soaring Dragon.

　As an ancient dragon that lives in the highest altitudes above other monsters, the information hunters have about the Sky Dragon is extremely scarce due to its ecological habits and habitat. Only after the Dragon Ship was built were hunters able to dispel the fog of legends and fairy tales and truly see this extremely rare ancient dragon.

　The hunters bestowed the name Sky Soaring upon this ancient dragon. From its appearance, Sky Soaring Dragon's entire body is covered with silver scales. According to the scribes' investigation, its carapace has extremely high fire and water resistance. The gaps and the ends of the scales on the carapace of Sky Soaring Dragon's horns, wings, and tail are covered with emerald-colored crystals.

　The Sky Dragon resembles a sea dragon in appearance, but it also has special body tissues called spirit hairs that shimmer with a dreamlike blue color, like flying membranes. Although the Sky Dragon looks very much like a sea dragon monster, especially its soaring posture in the air, it also resembles a sea dragon monster swimming in water.

　However, the biggest difference between Sky Dragon and Sea Dragon, or rather, Sky Dragon, is that Sky Dragon's limbs are not flippers, but genuine claws. Sky Dragon's claws have the strength to easily shatter rocks and tear through rock formations, but Sky Dragon's main offensive weapon is not its claws.

　The Sky Dragon has a pair of wings on its back that can change shape.

　When flying or hovering, the wings expand and change, especially after rising to a certain altitude, the expanded wings will create strong winds and cause heavy rain.

　However, it would be a big mistake to think that the secret to the Sky Dragon's flight lies in its wings.

　The Sky Dragon's ability to fly actually comes from special compressed air blocks called "Sky Qi" generated within its body. These compressed air blocks are released from its spirit hair, giving the Sky Dragon lift and making it possible for it to float and glide at high speed in the air.

　The horns of the Sky Dragon are also believed to be similar to those of the Steel Dragon, serving to control the surrounding airflow and enabling better flight. The azure light emitted during flight is formed by the mixing of the electric current generated by the Sky Dragon with the soaring air it creates within its body.

　Thanks to this dazzling, dreamlike light, which is almost never seen in reality, hunters can better observe the presence of the Sky Dragon and take cover in advance.

　In the initial investigation, based on the Sky Dragon's attack patterns, the Scribes and Hunters generally believed that the Sky Dragon would only use water and lightning attributes to attack. However, later records revealed that the Sky Dragon also possessed an organ that was completely opposite to the water attribute organ: the Fire Sac.

　This improbable phenomenon made the hunters realize that the Sky Dragon's full power was not just what they had seen. Later, the scribes combined fairy tales and Sky Dragon hunting reports to speculate that Sky Dragon's fire attribute power was very weak. Not only did it require a suitable environment to be released, but Sky Dragon itself was also suppressing this fire attribute power.

　Until one day, the hunters managed to break the Sky Dragon's reverse scale. The enraged Sky Dragon almost instantly blasted the Dragon Senses Flying Merchant Ship into dust. At this moment, the Sky Dragon's body was covered with azure energy, and the overflowing light enveloped the Sky Dragon's body. In this state, the Sky Dragon's carapace and spirit hair became more susceptible to the influence of the surrounding environment.

　Meanwhile, due to the disordered eruption of the Sky Dragon's energy, the Dragon Consciousness Ship was also unable to fly in the air and eventually crashed into the scorching volcanic area. The Sky Dragon that entered this area had its beautiful spirit fur and the tips of its carapace crystals dyed golden yellow.

　Relying on the heat resistance of its carapace, the Sky Dragon plunged into the desolate area ravaged by lava, turning the wind that originally surrounded it into a hot wind with terrifying temperature. With its own powerful abilities and the advantages of the volcanic environment, it combined them to form a magnificent but deadly and fierce attack.

　The combination of its inherent fire attribute and the high temperature of the volcanic area creates a scorching wind that can take the hunter's life in an instant. The complex and diverse attribute functions make the elemental attacks used by the Sky Dragon unlike any other monster seen before. To better distinguish them, hunters refer to the Sky Dragon's combination of fire, water, and lightning attributes as the Sky Dragon attribute.

　Besides the usual items, hunters discovered that sonic bombs had an unexpected effect on the Sky Dragon. This is likely because the Sky Dragon flies by expelling soaring energy from its spirit fur, and the sonic bombs interfered with the Sky Dragon's energy expulsion, causing it to temporarily lose its balance.

　According to the fairy tale, if the Sky Dragon is eventually driven to the brink of despair by humans, it will not choose to run away. Instead, in order to avoid dying at the hands of the hunter, the Sky Dragon will use its last strength to transform into lightning wrapped in flames that pierces through its own body, causing it to dissipate.

　Of course, all of this is based on the speculation of the Scribes. So far, the hunters have not driven the Sky Dragon to the brink of defeat. After discovering the Sky Dragon, the Hunter's Guild restricted the use of the Dragon Sense Ship. Only hunters of the highest level, G-rank, on the Dragon Sense Ship are allowed to enter the ultra-high-altitude airspace for navigation.

　Over time, the hunters forgot the origin of the ban, and since the Sky Dragon was not a monster that could be frequently sighted, the already unknown Sky Dragon became even less known.

　After no longer paying attention to the Sky Dragon high in the sky, the young girl turned to look at the juice that Lan Mei had brought. It was made from raspberry berries and foam berries gathered from the edge of the dense forest. The sweet and sour raspberry berries gave the juice a rich flavor, while the foam berries, as the name suggests, made the juice full of bubbles.

　The little girl unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down a big mouthful. This time, Melalu had put in a bit too many foam berries. The little girl squinted her eyes and let out a cute burp before feeling a little better. Hearing the little girl burp, Lanmei also brought her thoughts back to reality, thinking to herself that only at times like this would the little girl do something that matched her appearance.

　"That guy in the sky doesn't seem to be planning to come down. What a boring guy."

　"Hmm, and it's not even tasty."

　"Oh, it's not good. What, Xiaoguang, you've tried it?"

　The little girl shook her head, took another sip of her juice, and then said, "Just like Lan, it's not tasty."

　"ah!??"

　Upon hearing this, Lanmei's "Ah" immediately rose in pitch. What do you mean it's not tasty because it's the same as mine? Am I, Lanlong, some kind of bitter melon or cilantro? Besides, you were drooling while we slept together last night, weren't you? Lanmei raised an eyebrow, and seeing that the little girl still looked unmoved, she grabbed the little girl's face and pulled it to both sides.

　"

　Ah, what do you mean by "because it's like me, it doesn't taste good"? It's obvious I'm different from him! What kind of dragon could be as beautiful as me?!

　The little girl whimpered something, trying to escape from Lanmei's grasp, but Lanmei wouldn't give her that chance. She held the little girl tightly, not letting her leave her side. Seeing that the little girl didn't want to answer her questions directly, Lanmei grabbed the little girl's tail and stroked it against the scales.

　Touching along the scales was fine, but when Lanmei went against the direction of the scales, she directly touched the little girl's tail. As a result, Lanmei saw the little girl's tail immediately stand up, and goosebumps appeared on her body. The base of the tail is the most sensitive part of the little girl, and it would feel uncomfortable to touch it normally, let alone when Lanmei touched it against the direction of the scales.

　The little girl immediately waved her hands, trying to escape from Lanmei's arms. However, Lanmei anticipated the little girl's movements, directly pressing her knee against the little girl's thigh, then grabbing the little girl's hands and holding them tightly. With her other hand, she firmly grasped the little girl's tail. Now the little girl had no power to resist.

　Lanmei lowered her head and touched the little girl's forehead, smiling as she said, "Now you can't run away, can you? Tell me, what do you mean by 'it's not tasty because it's like me'?"

　The young girl seemed not to have expected that this was what Lanmei was struggling with, but the young girl's starting point was not wrong. In a conventional sense, if Tianxianglong really resembled Lanmei, then it was probably a different kind of Lanmei. So for the young girl, a different kind of Lanmei would indeed not taste particularly good.

　But that's Sky Dragon. Although it has many similarities to Lan Mei in terms of bone structure and appearance, Sky Dragon is fundamentally very different from Lan Dragon.

　Because of their different flight methods, the distribution of organs and muscles in the Sky Dragon's body is destined to be different from that of the Storm Dragon. This means that the Sky Dragon's muscles will be chewier and will not be as soft and sticky as the Storm Dragon's flesh.

　On the other hand, although both Sky Dragon and Storm Dragon are carnivorous, Sky Dragon's Sky Dragon attribute combines the three elements of water, fire, and lightning, while Storm Dragon can only control water and lightning. This means that Sky Dragon has a greater digestive capacity and more internal organs than Storm Dragon, and its flavor will be stronger.

　Lanmei roughly guessed why the young girl would say that, but Lanmei felt that this might be a good opportunity.

　"Aba aba~ because they look somewhat similar?"

　"Good children don't answer questions with questions. If you don't answer properly, I'll have to do it again."

　The little girl's face immediately turned bright red. As the little girl's face turned red with embarrassment, Lanmei realized what she had said and done. Lanmei's face also immediately turned red with embarrassment, and the hand holding Lanmei's tail slowly loosened. Finally, the little girl's tail slipped from Lanmei's hand and fell onto the grass.

　Lanmei didn't expect that the usually mischievous little girl would react so slowly at this moment. The little girl also didn't expect that Lanmei would have such a big emotional fluctuation because of her words, and even suddenly attack while she was thinking about how to kill Tianxianglong, so that the little girl didn't even have time to react.

　After a long silence, Lanmei was the first to compose herself and said softly, "I just feel that guy is definitely not as good as me. I wouldn't be sure if it were the old me, but now I'm definitely better than him."

　Hearing what Lan said, the young girl nodded thoughtfully. Although she hadn't thought that way, she really was only thinking that way because of body shape and taste. The young girl said, "Lan is a good friend. That guy can't be compared to Lan."

　Hearing the little girl say this, Lanmei's lips curled into a beautiful smile. Hearing such words from the little girl made Lanmei feel much better. Lanmei moved her body and freed the little girl from under her, and also loosened her hands from binding the little girl's arms.

　At this moment, the little girl's tail regained its strength. The little girl moved her joints and then had Lan Mei pull her up from the ground.

　On the way back to camp, Lanmei looked at that place in the sky again, but she could no longer sense that guy's aura. At first, Lanmei was a little curious about what Tianxianglong was doing there and what his purpose was in leaving. But now, Lanmei didn't want to think about these unnecessary things anymore.

　In its sleep, the Sky Dragon dreamed again of the hunters riding on the Dragon Detection Ship. As a rather intelligent ancient dragon, the Sky Dragon did not initially attack the hunters' large detection ship, an unknown creature. Gradually, the Sky Dragon realized that the hunters it was facing were not ants, and thus began to reveal its ferocious side.

　The hunter's all-out attack thoroughly enraged the Sky Dragon. As the airflow changed, the Sky Dragon's eyes turned crimson. Just as the Sky Dragon was about to completely destroy the Dragon Ship, the shameless hunter activated the Dragon Striker. This was the first encounter between the Sky Dragon and the hunter.

　However, the Sky Dragon in the sky still doesn't know how the young girl and Lanmei cricketed it.

　P.S.: Dear readers, what kind of Star God do you think Xiao Guang would be promoted to if he were in Iron City?

　Volume 1: Chapter 509 - The Songstress Has Disappeared

　Upon returning from the isolated island, Sereria's first stop was the blacksmith's workshop, where she handed over her share of Great Wyvern materials to the workshop owner. After being enhanced with the Great Wyvern materials, Sereria's Wyvern Blade [Moon] was officially renamed the True Wyvern Blade [Twin Hellfire], and the workshop owner described the blade as the ultimate weapon for hunters.

　While waiting for the weapon forging to finish, Sereria, who had nothing to do, thought about how she had been dealing with the Great Dragon and tracking the mysterious World Lord lately. Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since Sereria had been to the Prayer Tree Spring. She figured that by now, the Palico from Mosh that Donnie had mentioned should have already arrived at the Prayer Tree Spring.

　Sereria felt that Donnie and Bass might have come looking for her many times, so she bought some dried fish as a gift from a shop in Mejpoldan.

　On the way, Sereria recalled how she had been entangled with Donnie. Being pestered by a strange guy in a mysterious cave seemed like something out of a fantasy novel. However, the task Donnie had entrusted to her was not difficult, and besides, she was also curious about the secrets that the people in the songstress and hunter's gathering place did not want to tell.

　Soon, Sereria arrived at the Prayer Tree Spring, but to her surprise, the Spring was in complete chaos. Various items and materials were scattered all over the place, and some places were even impossible to walk on. Sereria looked at the scene in disbelief and tried to shout Donnie's name.

　"Waaaaah, it's the hunter girl, meow! Something terrible has happened, meow!"

　As soon as Cerelia called out Donnie's name, she saw the nearby pile of garbage move twice, and then a dirty Palico jumped out of it. Cerelia grabbed Donnie, who pounced on her. Perhaps because he had been in the garbage pile for a long time, Donnie had an unpleasant smell.

　"What happened here? How did you get like this? Where is Bass? And Morsh, didn't it come?"

　"The songstress has disappeared, meow."

　"Ah, what do you mean it's gone? Wait, go take a shower first, you smell terrible. I'll tidy up this place for you."

　As she spoke, Sereria pinched her nose and shooed Donnie toward the lake. However, Donnie was an Elf Cat, and even though he was a beastman, an Elf Cat was still a cat and had an innate aversion to water. So, just as Donnie was about to take advantage of the moment Sereria was tidying up the place to escape, Sereria's words dispelled his idea.

　"If you don't clean yourself properly, don't expect me to help you. Looks like something's happened here."

　Sereria's words had Donnie completely under her control. Hearing Sereria's words, Donnie lost all desire to play tricks and resignedly crawled towards the nearest river. Then, he took a deep breath and jumped in.

　There were no strange items in the trash in the Prayer Tree Spring. Even the garbage heap where Donnie had been was just a collection of tools and materials. But since Donnie was emitting a rotten smell, it seemed that the environment here had been preserved for at least four or five days.

　The interior space wasn't large, and Cerelia quickly tidied up everything inside. Donnie, having finished washing, came in, shaking off the water droplets. Cerelia casually picked up a towel that looked fairly clean and tossed it to him. Donnie took the towel and wrapped it around himself.

　"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why is this place so chaotic? And what's the story behind the songstress's disappearance?"

　After drying himself off, Donnie sat down on the clean stone slab, sighed, and then began to speak.

　"It's a long story, meow. Just four days ago, for some reason, Bass and I suddenly disappeared. After discussing it, we suspected that the songstress had run away from home, but she had never done anything like that before. So Bass went out to look for her, while I stayed here."

　Sereria narrowed her eyes slightly. Her intuition told her that Donnie wasn't telling the truth, but seeing Donnie's anxious look, Sereria felt that his eagerness was genuine. So Sereria decided to try and trick him.

　"If that's the case, you must have done something bad to the songstress that made her unwilling to stay with you. And look, you lived together for so long before suddenly leaving without saying goodbye. It's clear that you did something to upset her."

　Sure enough, Donnie immediately became anxious after hearing these words.

　The speed at which its tail wagged also increased rapidly.

　"No, meow. We did all of this for the sake of the songstress, and the songstress isn't unhappy at all, meow."

　"That's just from your perspective. But from my perspective, what you did before made the songstress very unhappy. She must have considered your feelings, so she didn't say it directly. But recently you must have done something that even someone like the songstress can't tolerate, which is why she left without saying goodbye."

　"No, nothing like that, meow."

　"As for Nabas and that Moshi, besides, if you don't speak properly, I won't help you."

　As soon as Sereria finished speaking, she saw Donnie's expression quickly become conflicted. Only then did Sereria realize that her consideration was correct. Based on the previous actions of these Felynes, they must have done something that even the Songstress could not tolerate, going beyond the Songstress's authority.

　Previously, the use of the Divine Dragon Wood and the Blood of the Mist Dragon to restore the Songstress's power did not seem inappropriate to her, but now Sai Deduction is also becoming somewhat curious.

　Upon hearing Sereria's words, Donnie's expression began to change constantly, and finally Donnie gave in to Sereria.
