The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Anjanath roared weakly and lunged at Zergling, but it dodged. Anjanath fell to the ground, exhaling thick black smoke from its mouth and nose. Zergling immediately rushed forward and began tearing at Anjanath's body.

　Bai Feng knew this was a creature suffering from the Mad Dragon Disease, but she was also surprised that the Mad Dragon Virus of the Black Devouring Dragon could achieve such a level of power. The weak and powerless Thief Dragon could actually defeat the Anjanath Dragon. It seemed that the ecological report of the Dragon Academy was still a bit conservative. Bai Feng secretly decided to change this point when she returned.

　Before Bai Feng could fully observe the situation, the sudden reddening of the guide bugs indicated that the group of thieves had discovered him. Bai Feng sighed, and the Palico also took out its dagger.

　Bai Feng drew the True Azure Dragon Bow [Sky Soar] from his back, prepared to dispel the fruit, inserted the Power Bottle, drew the bowstring taut, and fired the arrow at the thief dragon charging in front of him.

　Unlike the thief dragons that are usually seen everywhere on the roadside, Bai Feng noticed that several arrows were deflected by the scales of the thief dragons due to the angle of the arrows. Moreover, these thief dragons were fearless and did not stop even when they were shot in the abdomen and had a gash. However, even so, these thief dragons were no match for Bai Feng. In the end, the thief dragons had no choice but to passively end their dragon lives.

　Regarding the disposal of the Black Corrosion Dragon Scale Powder and the corpses of the Mad Dragon-like creatures, the Commander-in-Chief and the Captain of the Biological Research Team discussed and agreed to decompose the corpses and then burn them together. It is worth noting that the Mad Dragon-like creatures may have a crystal called Mad Dragon Crystal growing inside their bodies, which can be transformed into a very rare material through alchemy.

　Bai Feng carefully piled the corpses of the Jagras and Anjanath together, went to an open space, and fired a signal flare. The autopsy of the corpses should naturally be handled by professionals, and the corpses should be moved away as soon as possible. There was more than just Anjanath here, including the Rathalos couple, Nargacuga, Tobi-Kadachi, and Deviljho, which Bai Feng thought was the least likely to be infected with the Mad Dragon virus.

　After the investigation team transported the corpses back bound hand and foot, Bai Feng searched the pool area again and successfully found a pile of crested dragon bones. The small and dense bite marks on the bones proved that these crested dragons were not preyed upon by black erosion dragons. Bai Feng also found some scale powder next to the crested dragon skeletons.

　"It seems that these thieves were infected with the Mad Dragon Virus, and then killed the crested dragon here when they were fighting for territory. As their close contact, the Anjanath was naturally also infected by the Mad Dragon Virus. But the Mad Dragon Virus actually allowed the thieves to defeat the Anjanath. The Mad Dragon Virus is truly a terrifying thing."

　Guided by the guide insect, Bai Feng climbed up the vines of the Ancient Tree Forest, but found no trace along the way. When Bai Feng reached the top of the Ancient Tree Forest, he was surprised not to see the fire dragon couple, but instead found traces of a fight all over the place, huge claw marks on the walls and bones scattered everywhere.

　Upon arriving here, the guideworms ceased their flight. Bai Feng stepped forward to examine them. The heads of the fire dragon couple had been bitten off and were tossed aside. Large swaths of the fire dragons' tough skin and scales were also torn and discarded. The good news was that the fire dragon couple's scales and skin were still dark green and crimson. Bai Feng compared the claw marks and confirmed that the fire dragon couple had been killed directly by the Black Devourer Dragon, not by the Mad Dragon Virus. The bad news was that the Black Devourer Dragon could kill the fire dragon couple in one go. If it were allowed to roam the New World, the ecosystem would definitely be destroyed.

　After further investigation of the fire dragon's lair, Bai Feng only found a very small amount of scale powder here. He marked the spot, and the Palico transport team will come here to transport these things back based on the signal, which is very convenient.

　P.S.: This is the first update today!

　PS2: Coming soon!

　I'm thinking of offering a bounty; what do you dear readers think?

　PS3: Please vote for me, everyone! Love you all! I love all your tips, hate mail, and votes! I love you all too!

　Volume 1: Chapter 60 - Three-on-One Battle

　"So, the Black Devouring Dragon has already appeared in many places?" The Commander-in-Chief sat opposite Bai Feng, holding a large glass of wine. He had already read the report submitted by Bai Feng, and to be honest, the contents of the report were not optimistic.

　"Yes, traces of the Black Eclipse Dragon have been found in the Ancient Forest, the Anthill Wasteland, and the Coral Highlands. The Coral Highlands are the most severely affected, with many aquatic plants covered in Black Eclipse Dragon scales, but..."

　"But surprisingly, we haven't seen many monsters that have become berserk, and there are very few people who have even witnessed the Black Eclipse Dragon. I think there are several reasons for this. First, although the Dragon Academy defines the Black Eclipse Dragon as unknown, as an immature ancient dragon, its aura is enough to scare away common monsters. Second, the Black Eclipse Dragon does not have a fixed habitat, and judging from your investigation report, it changes its location very frequently, which may also be why it is so rare."

　Bai Feng downed the sparkling wine in her glass in one gulp. She had just encountered a Black Horned Dragon transformed into a berserker in the Ant Hill Wasteland. That roar was the most unforgettable one she had ever heard. Although she had never seen the Demon of Destruction, Bai Feng felt that the Demon of Destruction's aura was definitely no less than that of the Black Horned Dragon transformed into a berserker.

　"Speaking of which, one of these things was extracted from the body of that berserk black horned dragon. According to the name in the ecological report, it should be called a berserk dragon crystal."

　"Oh, the Mad Dragon Crystal, this is a good thing. It is said that in Sky Mountain, there is a magical alchemy called the Heavenly Fortune Alchemy. This alchemy requires the Mad Dragon Crystal to perform alchemy and can produce extremely rare items."

　Bai Feng waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need such a thing. She wasn't sure if she would go to Sky Mountain. Xinaer Village was the highest village in the Four Seasons Kingdom, a place that was not easy to reach. Even caravan members had to take an airship to get there. It was practically above the clouds. Bai Feng hadn't had enough of the New World yet, so she wouldn't go there.

　The squad leader shoved the Mad Dragon Crystal into her hand, saying, "Hunters have their own rules too. Keep it safe; you never know when you might need it."

　"Haha, let's hope that day never comes," Bai Feng laughed and clinked glasses with him.

　As the group chatted, the dragon-human scholar suddenly sensed something and hurriedly stood up. The commander-in-chief also realized something, and the two exchanged a glance and said almost in unison, "The Dragon Crystal Land?"

　Bai Feng found it strange. "What? The Dragon's Recess? I've been there. The Black Eclipse Dragon doesn't seem to go there much. I guess the Nergigante doesn't welcome it. Besides, that place is full of volcanoes and lava. I've only seen traces of the Black Eclipse Dragon in the upper levels."

　As the commander-in-chief went out to call for help, he said, "No, hunters, we made a mistake by being prejudiced. That's not a Black Dragon. No, it should be said that it is at least half a juvenile Xeno'jiiva, a form of Safi'jiiva. If nothing unexpected happens, when it molts from a Black Dragon into a Celestial Dragon, the part that belongs to Xeno'jiiva will also become Safi'jiiva."

　The dragon-human scholar added, "In other words, the reason we haven't found it is because we've been looking in the wrong direction. It possesses some of the characteristics of the Xeno'jiiva, so it should basically never leave the Convergence Zone except to hunt for food, which means..."

　Bai Feng immediately realized something, and his voice trembled with excitement, "That means it's absorbing ley line energy over there to prepare for its molting. And now the creatures are causing a disturbance, which proves that the Black Erosion Dragon is currently in the Dragon Crystal Land, absorbing ley line energy there."

　Before Bai Feng could finish speaking, the squad leader immediately ran out to arrange for the hunters to drive away the monsters near the camp. Bai Feng also picked up the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap]. After adding shield reinforcement parts, Bai Feng was particularly fond of this heavy crossbow. After tidying up his equipment, Bai Feng went outside. Just as he was about to whistle to summon the pterosaur, he suddenly discovered that the Grand Master had appeared there. The Grand Master had also noticed Bai Feng.

　"Haha, not bad, your sense of smell is very keen, but it's still a bit inferior to mine. I've known for a long time that the Black Eclipse Dragon is not simple. According to the ecological report from the Dragon Academy, they only said that the Black Eclipse Dragon has the danger level of an Ancient Dragon in its berserk state, but this Black Eclipse Dragon's power in its normal state has already surpassed the Ancient Dragon level, and even..."

　The squad leader of the investigation team also ran over with his men at this moment, "Bai Feng, it's the commander, you're finally back, we..."

　The commander raised his hand to interrupt the head of the investigation team, saying, "I know everything. Let's set off now."

　The Grand Master quickly led the two by boat to the depths of the Dragon Crystal Land. At this moment, the Black Erosion Dragon was happily stretching its body in the center of the Convergence Land. The abundant ley line energy in the Convergence Land made it very comfortable for her. The abundant ley line energy flowed and gathered in her body, allowing the Dragon Jade inside her body to slowly grow into a shape suitable for her. The dark blue and white gold light spots kept flashing on her chest.

　The Grand Master and Bai Feng, among others, entered the Convergence Zone with wary expressions. As soon as they stepped inside, the Grand Master pointed to the visible scales and powder, as well as the Black Erosion Dragon standing in the center.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon was unaware that three upright creatures had arrived uninvited.

　Just as the Grand Master was about to get closer to observe, his movement accidentally stirred up the scales, and the Black Dragon noticed them. Bai Feng seemed to see an incredulous expression on its face. At this moment, the Grand Master shouted, "Scatter! Scatter everyone! Prepare the fruits! Eat them immediately after inhaling the scales! Don't hesitate!"

　Almost immediately after the Grand Master finished shouting, the Black Eclipse Dragon let out a loud roar. With the Black Eclipse Dragon's roar, the concentration of scale powder in the confinement area increased visibly. The three people who were busy dodging almost inevitably inhaled two mouthfuls of scale powder. Immediately afterwards, the three of them ate the Dispelling Fruit at the same time.

　Bai Feng loaded his ammunition, picked up a stone from the ground, and raised his grappling hook to unleash a three-hit combo: headbutt, three stabs, and a slam into the wall. However, the Black Devouring Dragon reacted faster. By the time Bai Feng caught it, one of the Black Devouring Dragon's wing claws had already blocked Bai Feng's path, and Bai Feng was thrown away before he could adjust his body.

　To avoid being used as a yo-yo by the Black Eclipse Dragon, Bai Feng immediately cut the cable on the grappling hook. At the same time, the head of the survey team also came to the Black Eclipse Dragon with his greatsword, and the Black Eclipse Dragon also extended its wing claws to grab the greatsword that was attacking it.

　Seeing that the two hunters were entangled by the Black Devourer, the Grand Master immediately picked up a large piece of dragon crystal from the ground and hurled it at the Black Devourer. The Black Devourer released its talons and jumped back, dodging the Grand Master's attack.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon took a step back, exerted force with its limbs, spun around, and landed with its famous Iron Mountain Lean. The Grand Master and the Survey Team Leader standing at the front immediately felt as if they had been hit by a Dragon Piercer, their throats tasted sweet, and they almost spat out blood.

　"It's a breath attack, be careful of an explosion."

　The two immediately swallowed a mouthful of the secret medicine. The sweet and bitter taste spread in their mouths, and the pain in their bodies almost disappeared instantly. Suddenly, they heard Bai Feng's words and looked up to see a dark purple fog bomb had already landed near them. Before they could even jump away, the fog bomb exploded, sending them flying.

　Bai Feng immediately raised her heavy crossbow and fired a barrage of shot at the Black Eclipse Dragon's head. The Black Eclipse Dragon immediately opened its mouth to bite Bai Feng, but Bai Feng nimbly rolled away to dodge. However, Bai Feng did not expect that the Black Eclipse Dragon would then use a wing claw sweep to send him flying. The Grand Master stood behind Bai Feng and barely stopped her from retreating.

　The Black Dragon then spat out several thick fogs in the direction of the three, who quickly dodged. After this exchange, Bai Feng finally understood why the Grand Master had said those words before setting off.

　PS: Second update! Second update!

　PS2: Tsk, there's a chapter where 057 gets ganked. I think it's... okay, but maybe the word "young girl" triggered an alarm. I'm already revising it, but I don't know when it will be approved. I hope it won't delay your reading~

　Volume 1: Chapter 61 - So Happy!

　Bai Feng quickly raised the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap]. Dark purple scales exploded around her, hitting the heavy crossbow and making a series of thumping sounds. That was the sound of the heavy crossbow's shield parts blocking the scale explosions. Bai Feng glanced at the heavy crossbow that gave her confidence. The gun body, made of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's hard horn and lightning shell, shimmered with a mesmerizing golden light. She believed that this heavy crossbow was more than capable of handling the explosion of Black Corrosion Dragon scales.

　The Grand Master used a giant dragon crystal to block the scales sprayed out by the Black Devouring Dragon. The three of them inevitably inhaled the Mad Dragon Virus and immediately threw the Antidote Fruit into their mouths. Taking advantage of the Grand Master blocking the scale explosion, the Survey Team Leader raised the Great Demon Dragon Jaw III, charged up, and aimed at the Black Devouring Dragon's head to chop down. However, the Black Devouring Dragon reacted immediately, using its front claws to turn around and jump out of the Survey Team Leader's attack range. At the same time, its thick, tough tail lashed out. The Black Devouring Dragon's tough tail was covered with black, reverse-growing scales that were sharp and deadly. The Survey Team Leader had no choice but to give up charging up and land on the ground, rolling to the other side of the Black Devouring Dragon's tail to avoid the tail lash attack.

　Seeing this, Bai Feng changed the ammunition of the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap] to armor-piercing grenades and fired two shots at the head of the Black Devouring Dragon. During the explosion, Bai Feng turned his head to look at the positions of the Grand Master and the Survey Team Leader. The three of them met each other's eyes and then nodded in understanding.

　All three of them were skilled hunters, so they could understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

　After exchanging signals with her companions, Bai Feng tossed several traps to the Grand Master, squatted down, and replaced the ammunition for the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap] with specially made fireballs. Then, she raised her heavy crossbow and aimed at the Black Eclipse Dragon's head to fire. Normally, a few shots would be enough to kill ordinary monsters, but now, against the Black Eclipse Dragon's hard scales, the specially made fireballs had only a negligible effect. However, Bai Feng knew the principle that little by little, a quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, and her attack could also provide cover for the Grand Master and the Survey Team Leader.

　The squad leader, holding the Great Demon Dragon Jaw III, stood beside the Black Eclipse Dragon. After Bai Feng changed his ammunition, the squad leader immediately swallowed a secret pill and then a Dispel Fruit. At this moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon's movements were already restrained by Bai Feng. The squad leader replaced Bai Feng and immediately launched a charged attack on the Black Eclipse Dragon. To his surprise, the Great Demon Dragon Jaw III made a knocking sound when it hit the Black Eclipse Dragon. Bai Feng was very familiar with this sound; it was clearly the sound of hitting the scales of that terrible-quality Fatalis.

　Yes, this Black Eclipse Dragon is from the Safi'jiiva.

　It crawled out of the body.

　Thinking this, Bai Feng turned around to dodge the attack, switched the heavy crossbow's ammunition to electric bullets, and pulled the trigger at the Black Dragon.

　The projectile, crackling with blue lightning, struck the Black Eclipse Dragon's body accurately, but unfortunately, it did not cause any real damage. The Black Eclipse Dragon immediately spewed out three clouds of dense mist, which drew curves as they reached Bai Feng and then exploded.

　The powerful explosion nearly made Bai Feng lose his grip on the heavy crossbow. At that moment, the squad leader of the investigation team leaped up with his greatsword and slashed down hard at the tail of the Black Eclipse Dragon. However, his attack was blocked by the spikes on the tail. Without thinking, Bai Feng immediately switched the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap] to rapid-fire mode and poured a full magazine of bullets onto the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　Bai Feng didn't dwell on the Black Eclipse Dragon's thick hide. Seeing that the survey team leader had escaped safely, he quickly loaded a Dragon Slayer bullet into the barrel, aimed it at the Black Eclipse Dragon's head, and pulled the trigger. The bullet, which possessed Dragon Seal power, caused more damage to the Black Eclipse Dragon than before.

　As if trying to remember Bai Feng, the Black Eclipse Dragon turned its eyeless head toward him. Although the Black Eclipse Dragon did not make any move at this moment, and although this Black Eclipse Dragon was only a young dragon, Bai Feng felt as if an invisible giant hand was pressing down on him from above. A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Bai Feng's forehead.

　"Ow~"

　The Black Eclipse Dragon shook its body, lowered its wings and claws, and began to walk on six legs. Its thunderous roar sounded even more deafening in the confined space of the Convergence Land. The tentacles on both sides of the Black Eclipse Dragon's head had already extended, and the flickering purple light seemed to foreshadow the fate of the three.

　"This is going to be difficult to handle. I've set up traps over there. Hopefully, the paralysis traps and pitfall traps will hold for long enough." The Grand Master arrived just in time.

　At this moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon's eye sockets emitted a bright, eerie blue light. Most monsters would remain motionless after being hit by the flashbang. Of course, some would randomly attack their surroundings with their forelegs or tails, but in general, the monsters would not move around randomly.

　But this Black Eclipse Dragon is blind, so flashbangs are useless. That's why it's setting traps that don't require vision. But now it seems that Bai Feng has forgotten something.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon, now in its berserk form, has an even stronger desire to attack. With all six legs pushing off, it runs quickly toward White Wind. Judging from its strength, even if a hunter is accidentally hit by the monster's charge, at the very least, he will be unable to stand up, and in severe cases, he may die on the spot. To avoid the charge, the hunter must immediately and accurately judge whether to shorten the distance with the prey, either to choose to evade when facing the monster's attack, or to immediately counterattack.

　Bai Feng immediately moved to a position where he and the Black Devouring Dragon had sandwiched the paralysis trap between them. He steadily raised his heavy crossbow and fired two more armor-piercing grenades at the Black Devouring Dragon. After being hit in the head by the armor-piercing grenades, the Black Devouring Dragon shook its head impatiently. The subsequent explosion enraged the Black Devouring Dragon, which then charged at Bai Feng.

　Between the White Wind and the Black Devouring Dragon lay a paralysis trap. Given their positions, it was impossible for the Black Devouring Dragon to bypass the trap set on the ground. However, when she stepped into the paralysis trap, she continued to charge forward.

　At this point, it should have been unable to move due to the paralyzing toxin, Bai Feng thought to herself. Suddenly, she remembered something she had realized before setting off. The Dragon Academy's report mentioned that Black Eclipse Dragons inherit some of their host's abilities after birth, and this Black Eclipse Dragon had inherited most of the power of the Fatalis. That's why the Grand Master told her that this Black Eclipse Dragon possessed greater power than ordinary Elder Dragons.

　However, it's really fun to fight against such a powerful guy.

　This was a sentence the elder had said to Bai Feng during her first hunt. At that time, Bai Feng had not yet become a true hunter. Faced with a powerful monster and realizing she was completely helpless, she felt a serious wavering in her heart. But her master, undeterred by all hope, tenaciously found a glimmer of hope in each mistake, and ultimately completed the hunt.

　Since then, Bai Feng has been encouraging himself with the idea of ​​how to give up before trying everything he can do.

　Even if my opponent is Gu Long, I will never give up!

　P.S.: This is the first update today!

　Volume 1: Statements Regarding Some Settings

　Ahem, I've seen a lot of comments and some private messages from readers, so I think it's necessary to say something. I'll delete all the inflammatory comments then~ Hehe.

　om/uploads/chapterimgsnew/525/245261/240227/1709043928-100395116-111387600.jpg" alt='酱酱'/>

　1. I think there are at least two angles to writing about Monster Hunter: one is the game's world view, and the other is the game's internal world view. The game's world view is about human nature and natural disasters. The epic level of the Mad Dragon Virus didn't kill them, and they even faced forbidden power. In terms of the game's internal world view, hunters who can hunt Rathalos are considered elites.

　2. Next is the issue of the Mad Dragon Virus. First, the official statement hasn't explicitly said that the Mad Dragon Virus can't infect Elder Dragons; it's not mentioned at all. Neither Monster Hunter 4G nor Dawn of the Rift mentions it. I even specifically consulted Monster Hunter knowledge bloggers for confirmation. However, in the Capcom x Marvel crossover, a Mad Dragon appeared, and the mastermind behind this storyline also entered a Mad Dragon form. But it's possible this was just a writer's whim. In Teppen, Nergigante also preyed on Black Dragon. However, regarding the absence of an Ultimate Elder Dragon in Monster Hunter 4G, my personal speculations are as follows: ① In Monster Hunter 4G, there's a Black Dragon quest, and you can't find other Elder Dragons in that map, so there's no territorial disputes and the virus can't spread. ② No second Elder Dragon appeared in Sky Mountain where Sky Dragon appeared. ③ This is just my speculation; games need to consider sales, and players aren't masochists. Having an Ultimate Elder Dragon is too much of a hassle...

　3. All of this is speculation. The game mentions that the Mad Dragon Virus and the Gnawing Worm have some similarities. If the three starter Pokémon can overcome the Gnawing Worm, then you can overcome the Mad Dragon Virus in no time. Of course, these are just speculations, and everything should be based on reasonable assumptions. Elder Dragons are living beings, not concepts or theorems.

　4. The Black Eclipse Dragon is a stage that the Sky Return Dragon must go through in its growth, so from an ecological point of view, the Black Eclipse Dragon can be considered an immature or juvenile form of the Sky Return Dragon.

　5. In Monster Hunter Dawn, there are not only ordinary monsters that have become monsters, but also Elder Dragons that have overcome their own monster forms. These Elder Dragons use their immense power and intelligence to harness the power of the Gnawing Worms. However, the ecology of Dawn is rather questionable.

　6. Regarding the race, Dawn of Heroes divides it into...??? The Black Eclipse Dragon has already been clearly identified as an Elder Dragon - Suborder Saurodon - Family Saurodonidae. To borrow a phrase from an up-loader, it's possible that the Black Eclipse Dragon's parasitic method is too bizarre, completely different from the usual oviparous and viviparous reproduction. Another reason is the nostalgia factor of 4G; the Black Eclipse Dragon is a recurring character in 4G, which is considered the best-storyd game in the series. The demon shrouded in black mist, the god descending upon Sky Mountain—I think that's why it was retained...???

　7. The scientific name of the Black Eclipse Dragon is Gore Magala, which is transliterated as Goa Magala; the scientific name of the Sky Returning Dragon is Shagaru Magala, which is transliterated as Shagaru Magala; the scientific name of the Sky Comet Dragon is Valstrax, which is transliterated as Balfaruk.

　The initial motivation for writing this book was to commemorate the karmic cycle of the Heavenly Dragon, so I also have some ideas about the battle at Sky Mountain. I won't reveal them yet, but they're sure to be exciting!

　Volume 1: Chapter 62 - New Clothes

　When the rest of the investigation team arrived, the area was already a mess. The scene did not look like the damage that could be caused by a hunting activity. Broken dragon crystals, scale powder, and bone spikes were scattered all over the ground.

　When Bai Feng woke up, it was already noon the next day. Bai Feng sat up with difficulty and realized that she was in her own bedroom. She then realized that someone had brought her back. She checked her body and found that although she was sore, her body was intact and no parts were missing. Bai Feng got dressed, washed her face, and opened the door.

　Stepping outside, Bai Feng shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight as she walked towards the command room. After asking a few hunters, she learned that the commander-in-chief had brought them back; the chief commander had woken up first, while she had woken up last.

　The squad leader was also very tired, still feeling the fatigue from the fierce battle. However, he still greeted Bai Feng warmly when he saw him. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, everyone began the third operational meeting.

　"So, Nergigante joined your battle midway through, and according to you, Nergigante's target was that Black Eclipse Dragon."

　The Grand Master nodded. "This time, we owe a great debt to Nergigante. That Black Eclipse Dragon hasn't yet mastered the power of the Safi'jiiva. I suspect it's in the Convergence Zone because it's instinctively absorbing ley line energy. This disturbance has made the monsters restless, and Nergigante, as part of the ecosystem..."

　They were part of a group that came to eliminate the unstable element of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　Bai Feng seemed to have an idea, so he raised his hand and said, "Commander-in-Chief, Grand Commander, I think the hazard level of this Black Eclipse Dragon in the New World needs to be raised a notch above the report from the Dragon Academy. From the previous hunts, we can see that the Black Eclipse Dragon's melee ability is no less than that of the Nergigante, and its scales are also the multi-layered composite scales of the Safi'jiiva, plus there's the danger of its scale dust. Just based on these factors alone, if it's allowed to absorb energy indiscriminately, the entire ecosystem of the New World will really collapse."

　The Commander-in-Chief glanced at the Grand Commander, who nodded in agreement with Bai Feng's view. The head of the investigation team also agreed with Bai Feng's point of view. The Commander-in-Chief continued to entrust Bai Feng with the investigation of the Black Erosion Dragon's ecology, and at the same time prepared to formulate a plan to subdue the Black Erosion Dragon in the new continent.

　As for the Black Eclipse Dragon, she was happily enjoying the ley line energy in the Convergence Zone when several upright creatures she had encountered before barged in. This was like strangers intruding into a young woman's boudoir. The Black Eclipse Dragon immediately spewed out thick mist as a warning, indicating that this was her territory. However, she did not expect that the upright creatures would blow up her head with weapons and cut off her tail, which made her very angry.

　She decisively activated her berserk dragon form, but to her surprise, the upright creature was very tenacious. However, the Black Devouring Dragon soon discovered that the guy covered in thorns had broken in. The Black Devouring Dragon hadn't even settled the score with him for the last time this guy had stuck thorns in her body. The two dragons roared a few times and then started fighting.

　On this day, the props that Yae no Miko had suggested making for Hikari at the banquet were completed. Miko was about to send someone over when she happened to want to see if Inazuma had made any new sweets so that she could give them to that otaku girl. So Miko brought the necklace to Inazuma Castle.

　"Ayaka, this is the necklace we agreed on before. It's an ornament made from the monster scales that Hikari brought. I cleverly made it into the shape of a cherry blossom, which matches the color of the scales very well. To use it, you just need to concentrate your elemental power on the patterns of the petals, and you can find her location in real time. There are three petals, so it can be used by three people. Oh, by the way, where's Hikari? Did she go out to play?"

　"Thank you very much, Lord Master. I am deeply grateful for your personal delivery. As for Hikaru, I don't know. He probably went off to play somewhere."

　After chatting for a few minutes, the goddess left the wooden tea room; she had important business to attend to.

　Another day, Kira knocked on the door of the wooden tea room with a package in her hand. "Hello, Ms. Kamisato, there's a package for you. It's from Fontaine."

　"It's Miss Qi Liangliang, so fast! You've worked so hard, Miss, here's your package."

　Ayaka came out of the house. Kira took out a receipt for Ayaka to sign and handed her the package. After Ayaka signed and confirmed the receipt, she weighed the package in her hand and found it was a bit heavier than she had expected.

　"Thank you for your trust in Komahaya. Wow, thank you, Ms. Kamisato." After noticing that Ayaka had given her a five-star review, Kira couldn't help but smile.

　Seeing Kira wagging her tail, Ayaka smiled and took out some candy and placed it in her hand. Ever since she started taking care of the little girl, Ayaka always carried some snacks in her pocket. "Wow, thank you, Miss Ayaka. Please come to Komahaya again next time. I can ask the owner for a discount."

　Ayaka had long heard the rumors about this girl from Komahaya. If she gave her a five-star review or gave her some snacks, she would see the girl's face beam with excitement and her tail wagging happily behind her.

　Hmm, its tail wags even more frequently than Xiaoguang's.

　Back inside, Ayaka opened the package and displayed the clothes in front of her. "Wow, what beautiful clothes!" Thomas exclaimed upon seeing them.

　At the same time, a piece of paper fell out of the clothes. Thomas hurriedly picked it up and put it on the table. Linghua didn't pay attention to the contents of the paper. Instead, she looked at the clothes. The innermost part of the outfit was a close-fitting black dress, a white and blue sleeveless dress, and a white jacket on the upper body. The overall blue and white color scheme looked bright, lively, and full of vitality.

　"It seems that Chiori's skills are getting better and better. Even without seeing Hikaru, Chiori can still make such beautiful clothes."

　"Miss Chiori is now the most famous fashion designer in Fontaine, and Hikari is very cute; she looks good in anything."

　The contents of the letter were very simple. Chiori greeted the Kamisato siblings and told them how to wash their clothes. That was all. Ayaka knew that Chiori was that kind of person. She sighed and thought that it would be really difficult to bring her brother and Chiori together.
