The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Besides the cry of the giant bird, Gigg was greeted by a pool of black blood. Sakody immediately fired three armor-piercing grenades at the giant bird's head. Just as the giant bird was about to use its peck attack again, the armor-piercing grenades exploded. The giant bird screamed and lay on the ground, opening its mouth and closing its eyes.

　Kanon and Elkameya exchanged a glance. Kanon immediately raised his weapon, the Diablos Spear, and thrust it deep into the Great Bird's abdomen, its weak point. The Diablos Spear, crafted from the Diablos's giant horn, pierced the Great Bird's belly deeply. Meanwhile, Elkameya raised her hammer high above her head and, with the force she had been gathering, slammed it down on the Great Bird's head. With a loud "bang," the Great Bird's head was smashed into the ground.

　Even so, Elkameya only managed to smash the red carapace on the giant bird's head, leaving a trail of black blood. "We need to do it again. Remember to eat the Dispel Fruit quickly." Elkameya could tell at a glance that another blow was needed, but Kanon, who was standing nearby, didn't have time to draw his horned dragon spear. He immediately tackled Elkameya to the side, and the giant bird's tail flew right over their heads.

　Sakdi calmly loaded a Dragon Sniper Bullet into his heavy crossbow a short distance away, then lay down and aimed at the Great Jaggi's head. Sakdi's heavy crossbow spewed fire again, firing a powerful piercing bullet that exploded in the Great Jaggi's head. The Great Jaggi let out a scream, struggled to get up from the ground, and flapped its wings to fly away.

　Just as everyone was observing the direction the giant bird was flying...

　Just then, a dark shadow flashed by. Before the giant bird could fly far away, the Black Devouring Dragon had already pinned it to the ground again. The giant bird didn't even have time to react before the Black Devouring Dragon stomped on its neck and broke it.

　Judging from what just happened, no wonder the ecological report said that the Mad Dragon Virus could grant monsters the power of an Ancient Dragon. Elkamea was initially skeptical of what the ecological report said, but after witnessing it firsthand, she could conclude that the Mad Dragon-transformed Great Bird was more dangerous than the Horned Dragon, and even stronger than the Rock Dragon they had encountered. Elkamea couldn't help but take the Black Eclipse Dragon they had seen seriously.

　The young girl didn't mind having an extra meal, but the mad dragon-like giant bird didn't taste any different from the ordinary giant bird. After the Black Devouring Dragon bit off the giant bird's head, it chewed on the giant bird's cartilage and membranes. As for the internal organs, it would only eat the liver organ called "sand liver," which was the most delicious part of the giant bird.

　As for Elkameya's team, after the Black Eclipse Dragon appeared, the group kept their distance. If they were fully armed, they would have been happy to confront the Black Eclipse Dragon, but after fighting the berserk giant bird, they had consumed a lot of Elimination Fruits and nutrient solutions. The nearest supply box was a long way away, so they could only keep their distance and try to avoid fighting the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　The head, claws, and remaining internal organs that the young girl didn't eat would naturally be taken care of by the Velociraptor family and other scavengers. She didn't care about these things, or rather, these weak creatures weren't worth the young girl's attention unless they tasted good.

　As for where the young girl will stay next, it will be in Dongdorma, which is not far away.

　Meanwhile, in the distant Flamefire Village, within the abandoned shrine, the Black Eclipse Dragon was tearing at a Tobi-Kadachi lying on the ground. Several Tobi-Kadachi thorns were still stuck in her body. Tobi-Kadachi are quite flexible and agile animals, and they generally do not move on the ground. Only in an environment like the abandoned shrine in Flamefire Village, where there are few tall trees, can one see Tobi-Kadachi walking on the ground. There isn't much meat on a Tobi-Kadachi's body. The Black Eclipse Dragon laboriously tore off the scales and thorns from its tail. The carapace on its head and limbs was also inedible. After skinning it, the meat from the Tobi-Kadachi's broad tail and ribs was a good meal.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon bit off pieces of the Tobi-Kadachi's flesh, chewed them slowly, and swallowed them. Like her sister whom she had never met, she was also moving to a new place.

　PS: First update! First update!

　PS2: The Tobi-Kadachi looks like a combination of a lizard and a squirrel, but its scientific name actually refers to it as a flying snake. It also has electric spikes called electrode needles on its head and tail, making it a rather strange creature. However, the armor made from it looks quite nice.

　Thank you all for your support, love you all, dear readers~

　Volume 1: 149 - Glutton? Gourmet!

　Teyvat, Sumeru.

　After arriving in Sumeru, Gan Yu and Ke Qing did not see the young girl, but only Sumeru in ruins. After learning about the situation from Kong, Gan Yu, Ke Qing, Ning Guang, and others discussed the matter and then presented the Sumeru reconstruction plan. After carefully reviewing the plan, Naxi Da and the others expressed their intention to cooperate with Ning Guang and the others.

　Thus, the first phase of work proceeded smoothly. The main task of the first phase was for Gan Yu and Ke Qing to help Narcida, Seno, and Elhesen to carry out cleanup and dredging work to ensure that the later construction progress could keep up. After all, Sumeru City had been almost destroyed by the little girl, and the ground of the entire Sumeru City had been blasted into a huge crater, just like Liyue. Moreover, the ground was covered with black powder released by the little girl. If it was not cleaned up carefully, a plague would be inevitable.

　Some members of the Church even suggested developing Omos Port into a renowned city of Sumeru. However, Nasita overruled the objections and abandoned the idea of ​​making Omos Port the main city of Sumeru. As the saying goes, "no destruction, no construction," Nasita's idea from the beginning was to build a new Sumeru city on the ruins.

　After Gan Yu and Ke Qing had been working for a while, Ning Guang and the others also came to Xumi. However, their purpose in coming to Xumi was not to cooperate with Gan Yu and Ke Qing's work, but to take over part of the construction work of Xumi City. If it weren't for the inability of Qunyu Pavilion to fly and the high-altitude control of Xumi, Ning Guang would have preferred to bring Qunyu Pavilion to Xumi to work.

　"Gan Yu, I heard that Xiao Guang appeared at Wanmintang a while ago, and she even brought some crabs for Xiangling to cook for her."

　"Hey, Xiao Guang has gone back to Liyue. Let's hurry back too. Xiao Guang hasn't come to see me since she went back to Liyue. She went to Wanmin Hall again. That little glutton only knows how to eat."

　As Gan Yu spoke, she examined the documents beside her. She had been in Xumi for over a month. The preliminary cleanup and planning work was progressing steadily with the cooperation of Naxida and various academies. For Xumi, this was a rare opportunity. Naxida took the opportunity to reclaim the authority over the void and shut down all void terminal interfaces. From then on, the people of Xumi would no longer dream of becoming history. At the same time, they actively accepted the Red Prince people of the desert.

　Urban Plan

　Thanks to El-Hysen's introduction of a young man named Kavi, a famous architect in Sumeru, hailed as the light of the Mysterious Theory School in the academy, and also the most prominent figure in Sumeru's architectural industry, the urban planning work proceeded very smoothly under his promotion.

　In the Academy of Religion, Seno investigated the sages of various academies, revoked the sage positions of those who participated in the God-Making Project and conducted illegal experiments, and rectified the Sumeru academic circle. Farusan was finally no longer hampered by funding issues.

　"It seems that Xiao Guang is only interested in eating. Gan Yu, do you remember? When I picked Xiao Guang up from the wild, she ate all the food in Wanmintang. Master Mao almost broke his back from exhaustion."

　"Yes, later Xiaoguang started treating Wanmintang as her own canteen. You could always find her there at mealtimes."

　As the two were talking, Ningguang and Yelan walked in. This time, Ningguang brought Baiwen, Baishi, and Baixiao with her. The bidding process, contract signing, and personnel arrangements for the reconstruction of Sumeru all fell on the shoulders of the three of them. Although the three of them were somewhat reluctant to go on business trips, this was the first large-scale cooperation between countries, and neither side had any experience. The three of them were experiencing both pain and joy.

　"Long time no see, Keqing, Ganyu, how's work here?"

　"Ningguang, Yelan, you're here." Hearing Ningguang's voice, Ganyu greeted them with a smile. Keqing poured Ningguang and Yelan a cup of tea. Ningguang took a small sip and knew that it was a fine tea from Chenyu Valley.

　"Thank you. This is the new tea from Shenyu Valley. It seems the preliminary work went very smoothly."

　After Keqing gave a general overview of her recent work, she explained it to Ningguang. According to the plan, Ningguang's work was next, and Keqing was handing over her work.

　"By the way, Gan Yu, you didn't explain in your letter why Liyue is cooperating with Sumeru and why I don't approve of Sumeru negotiating with Zhidong now, right?"

　Gan Yu took a sip of tea, the tea leaves unfurling in the water and releasing a delicate fragrance. "Hmm, I have some guesses about the reason for Liyue's cooperation with Sumeru. The two countries are neighbors and have close commercial ties. Although this incident was caused by the Fatui Enforcers, according to Nashida, the Sages of the Order of the Fathers are also largely responsible for it. Moreover, the Second Enforcer, Dr., has multiple fragmented clones, and the Scattered Soldiers are currently sealed away. Therefore, it's best to proceed cautiously. Nashida's strength and prestige are not as good as the Rock King, and it's also a time of power transition, so this matter is not easy to handle."

　Yelan then stepped forward and said, "Indeed, as Lord Ganyu said, according to my intelligence, the Fatui Executor, Dr., left Sumeru by ship and disappeared after leaving Sumeru. There are reports in Winterlands that a black monster buried Dr. Dottore's residence with a meteorite, and the same explosion marks as in Liyue and Sumeru were left at the scene. This has caused a huge sensation in Winterlands, but the news has been blocked."

　Ke Qing and Gan Yu immediately recognized who had done it, and both showed expressions of disbelief. "So, Xiao Guang chased after and killed the Doctor again, and even went to Zhi Dong. Wait, I remember Nasita said that Xiao Guang's control over the World Tree was above hers. Could it be that..."

　Ningguang quietly took a sip of tea, already having a plan in mind. "If the Hunter's Notebook that Ayaka Kamisato gave us is correct, the thing that Hikari is most worried about is being outmaneuvered by someone else. And the Hunter's Notebook also mentions that such a Hikari is called a Chaos Groaner, who would be more violent and ferocious than the normal Hikari."

　"In other words, the Doctor's death was not unjust, but in that case, Zhi Dong might be a good match for Li Yue."

　"But Xiaoguang is still a Liyue citizen. We can even persuade Xiaoguang to go to Winter again. I believe that with Xiaoguang's abilities, it is not impossible for him to destroy Winter."

　"But how do we convince Xiaoguang?"

　"Meals included."

　Ningguang's words were so straightforward that neither Ganyu nor Keqing could refute them. Indeed, using food to win over such a powerful weapon seemed like a sure win.

　Meanwhile, the young girl, far away in Liyue, was unaware that Ningguang and the others had their plans for her. The young girl brought a giant boar king, several piglets, and five spirit deer to the Wanmin Hall. Hu Tao had previously told Zhong Li about the crab claws that were bigger than her own hand. Zhong Li believed what Hu Tao said, but his attitude always made Hu Tao feel that Zhong Li didn't believe him at all. Seeing that the young girl had come again, Hu Tao dragged Zhong Li to the Wanmin Hall to see something new.

　However, this time the young girl brought a giant wild boar king as big as an elephant. Hu Tao also became interested and poked the giant wild boar king with her homa staff.

　Volume 1: Chapter 150 - The Proud Girl with A-Rank

　In the end, Hu Tao was dragged away by Xiang Ling to prepare the game brought by the young girl, leaving Zhong Li and the girl staring at each other in bewilderment. Zhong Li was at a loss for what to do; he had neither experience in caring for young children nor the experience of being alone with the girl.

　Fortunately, Xiangling brought out some tea and mooncakes and shrimp and potato cups from the kitchen and placed them in front of the young girl, so that the two of them did not have to look at each other for the time being.

　Zhong Li sighed softly, took a sip of tea, and watched the little girl stuff the "Tea Mooncake" pastry into her mouth with an OVO expression. This tea pastry with egg yolk was refreshing and delicious, with a smooth texture. Although it was made with flour, sugar, and eggs, the little girl ate it happily. The shrimp and potato cups next to it were a pre-meal snack with a portion of mashed potato squeezed on crispy potato chips, and then raspberries, mint leaves, and fresh shrimp on top. The sweet and rich taste made this dish especially popular among children.

　With Xiangling's help, Master Mao quickly bled and skinned the wild boar king. After cutting up the pork belly, tenderloin, and ribs, Master Mao was exhausted and covered in sweat. He straightened up, rubbing his aching back. Master Mao waved to Xiangling, indicating that he needed to rest. Xiangling brought him a bowl of tea and then deftly took the knife from Master Mao's hand to proceed to the next step of preparation. Hu Tao was responsible for lighting the charcoal. For Hu Tao, who possessed the Eye of Fire, this was a very simple task.

　To remove the earthy smell from the wild boar king's meat, Xiangling prepared two main cooking methods for today: stewing and braising. Among them, Tian Shu meat and braised beast meat are Xiangling's specialties, although these two dishes require a long cooking time. While the ingredients were stewing, Xiangling began to process the elf deer and the little wild boar. The elf deer's fur was soft and thick, and Xiangling gently set it aside. Even a young girl would be too lazy to care about such skinned parts. As for the elf deer meat, Xiangling's idea was to roast it.

　Slice the tender venison into thin slices and let them rest on the grill for a few seconds. The slices immediately change color and curl up, making a pleasant sizzling sound. Xiangling picked up a few slices of venison and placed them near the little girl's mouth. The little girl swallowed them whole without hesitation. Soon, Hu Tao and Xiangling found that even if the two of them grilled the meat together, they couldn't keep up with the little girl's swallowing speed. Fortunately, the grilled ribs were ready. Xiangling handed the ribs to the little girl, and Hu Tao and Xiangling finally had a chance to catch their breath.

　Hu Tao looked at the little girl with curiosity. "Xiangling, has Xiaoguang gotten fatter?"

　"Really? I feel it's about the same as before, but speaking of which, Xiaoguang's face does seem a little rounder." Xiangling said, while examining the little girl's face, which did indeed seem a little rounder than before.

　“Yes, especially at the base of Xiaoguang’s tail, you can see it’s definitely thicker than before.” Hu Tao said, gently stroking the little girl’s tail. Xiang Ling was picking up slices of venison from the grill and preparing to hand them to the little girl. After hearing what Hu Tao said, she also looked at the little girl’s tail.

　"Hu Tao, be careful not to touch the base of the tail, or Xiao Guang will bite you."

　"Ok, I know."

　It seemed that Hu Tao's stroking had delayed the little girl's meal. The little girl gently pulled her tail out of Hu Tao's hand and then used her tail to push Hu Tao's hand back. Hu Tao looked at Xiang Ling in shock. Xiang Ling said that she had been treated like this before. So Hu Tao snatched the slice of venison that Xiang Ling had prepared with her chopsticks and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth. This time, the little girl did not push Hu Tao's hand away. Hu Tao proudly puffed out her chest at Xiang Ling. Although Xiang Ling chuckled, she didn't know why Hu Tao was competing with a child.

　Meanwhile, inside the Hunter's Guild in Minagardi, Elkameya and others were reporting on the battles against the Black Devourer and the Berserker Giant Bird. At the same time, elite hunters dispatched by the Hunter's Guild also arrived.

　"If a monster overcomes the Mad Dragon Virus, its strength and danger level will be greatly enhanced. There was once an Ultimate Thousand Blade Dragon in Barbare. It was later confirmed that the Thousand Blade Dragon had the strength of an Elder Dragon. Moreover, it single-handedly drove the entire Thousand Blade Dragon clan out of its habitat. Fortunately, you defeated the Mad Dragon-transformed Great Bird and the Mad Dragon-transformed Red Velociraptor in time. If you had not done so in time, it would have had a great impact on the ecology here."

　Elkameya frowned and said with her head down, "Actually, we didn't defeat that giant bird that had turned into a mad dragon. When we defeated the giant bird and moved to the new area, the Black Devouring Dragon descended from the sky, broke the giant bird's spine, and then flew away. Before it flew away, it ate the giant bird. The materials we extracted were actually the parts that the Black Devouring Dragon had left over."

　"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. By the way, is there anything unusual about that Black Eclipse Dragon?" The elite hunter had also carefully studied the Black Eclipse Dragon's ecology. Generally speaking, Black Eclipse Dragons wouldn't kill and eat creatures infected with the dinosaur virus. Of course, this wasn't because they were reluctant, but because it was unnecessary.

　Elkameya glanced at Kanon and Sakordi, who nodded knowingly and said, "I'm the hunter in charge of sniping, so I saw it very clearly. That Black Eclipse Dragon seems to have some unusual scales on its body. In addition, its size is unusual. If what the ecological report says is true, the maximum length of the Black Eclipse Dragon is about seventeen meters. Based on the proportions on site, that Black Eclipse Dragon is at least thirty meters long."

　The elite hunter was taken aback when he heard Sakordi's words. Suddenly, he thought of something and stared at Sakordi seriously, saying, "Kid, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? This matter cannot be taken lightly."

　Giger was immediately annoyed. As the hunter who witnessed the incident firsthand, he couldn't understand why this elite hunter didn't believe Sa.

　Cody, being an elite hunter himself, knew that asking such a question might offend them, so he could only sigh and say, "I heard about this from someone else. A friend of my sister's husband's cousin's son is in the New World Survey Team. A few days ago, he sent a letter mentioning that a Black Eclipse Dragon had appeared in the New World. It was 26 meters long. The New World Survey Team identified the Black Eclipse Dragon as a second individual and gave it a new name, Wang Ming Black Eclipse Dragon. This news should have just been relayed back to the guild not long ago. Not many people in the Old World know about it."

　Elkameya immediately picked up on the key words: New World, Second Name, Wang Ming. The dragon-human elder beside her also focused his attention on the elite hunter's words, "But the one we saw was even bigger. You mean she's grown up again?"

　The elite hunter nodded in agreement with Elkameya's idea, but then he suddenly realized something and immediately took out a map to ask, "What direction did she fly off in last?"

　"Northeast."

　The elite hunter immediately gestured on the map and said, "It's flying towards Sky Mountain; it's probably about to molt."

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Oh right, I saw someone mention the molting process I mentioned before, asking why it hasn't started yet. It has already started! Hikari left the New World heading towards Sky Mountain. As for the route... well, I'll keep you in suspense for now, hehe~

　Thank you all for your support, love you all, dear readers~

　Volume 1: Chapter 151 - The Stinking Senior

　Jiangbo Village, which aims to become the second village in East Dorma, was founded by a few young dragon-human pioneers. It is located on the easternmost edge of East Dorma, close to the dense forest. However, because of this, Jiangbo Village is currently being harassed by steel dragons.

　To be precise, it's a stainless steel dragon.

　As an Elder Dragon, the most distinctive feature of the Steel Dragon is its entire body covered in a metallic carapace, which is silvery-white in color. As for the reason why the Steel Dragon is covered in a metallic shell, scholars speculate that it may be due to the Steel Dragon's diet of minerals. Moreover, the Steel Dragon's carapace is even harder than real steel. However, as living beings, Elder Dragons also have their own life, death, illness, and natural cycles.

　The Steel Dragon's body structure is quite unique; its bones, muscles, and shell are all made of the same material. Therefore, some scholars believe that as the Steel Dragon ages, its metallic shell gradually becomes non-regenerative, and its body tissues gradually turn to bone from the edges, eventually resulting in a completely skeletal steel skeleton. However, before this happens, the Steel Dragon's skin, after prolonged exposure to air, rusts like real metal. When the rust covers the entire body, it's time for the Steel Dragon to molt. Shedding its rusty outer skin also promotes the Steel Dragon's growth.

　This stage of the Kushala Daora is called Rusty Steel Dragon. Due to the large amount of rust on its body, the Kushala Daora becomes more irritable and aggressive because of its limited mobility. At this critical moment, a group of hunters accidentally disturbed the Kushala Daora's sleep. The angry Kushala Daora chased it directly to the vicinity of the village. In order to defend against the Rusty Steel Dragon's attack, the hunters of Jiangbo Village brought out their Dragonite Cannons and Dragonite Guns.

　Back in its own lair, the Steel Dragon would often ram into the rocks. Although it rammed into them with great force each time, the effect was not obvious. But this time, after being hit by the Dragon Piercer and Dragon Piercer in the human village, the rust color on the scales on the Steel Dragon's chest and forelimbs faded a lot, and in some places, the bright silver of the steel could even be seen.

　In the dense forest, a young girl was hugging a huge beehive and taking honey from it. The surrounding bees wanted to protect the hive, but after attacking for a while, they realized that their stingers couldn't pierce the girl's skin. Instead, the bees that tried to attack were cut in half by the girl's tail. Helpless, the bees could only watch as the girl opened the hive, put her little hand inside, covered it in honey, and slowly licked it. Not far away, a creature covered in pink fur seemed to have taken an interest in something.

　The Peach-Furry Beasts are very curious creatures, especially fond of playing pranks, and their leader, the Peach-Furry Beast King, is no exception. The Peach-Furry Beast clan mainly feeds on mushrooms, and occasionally eats carrion and insects. After eating his fill, the Peach-Furry Beast King yawned, scratched his belly with his slender front paws, and was about to lie down to sleep when he suddenly noticed a shield crab covered in crimson shells in front of him. Instantly, his playful mood was aroused. The Peach-Furry Beast King pretended not to see it, turned his body to the side, and then turned his head to the side again to make sure that the shield crab was unaware of his presence. Meanwhile, his tail quietly reached out and gently tapped the shield crab's shell a few times.

　Upon realizing that the creature tapping its shell was a monster larger than itself, the Shield Crab instinctively retreated into its shell and stopped moving. The Peach-furred Beast King scratched its ear; although it had just given the Shield Crab a hard time, the Peach-furred Beast King...

　Seemingly still wanting more, it raised its tail, intending to tap the Shield Crab a few more times. Just as its tail was about to touch the Shield Crab, the Peach-haired Beast King had a sudden inspiration. It retracted its tail and enthusiastically used its pair of sharp claws to reach under the Shield Crab, trying to flip it over. However, the Peach-haired Beast King's claws were in the way, and after several attempts, it still couldn't flip the Shield Crab over. So, in its impatience, the Peach-haired Beast King simply lowered its head and tried to nudge the Shield Crab over.

　Although the Shield Crab didn't retaliate, it didn't mean it was indifferent to such teasing. Taking advantage of the moment when the Peach-haired Beast King lowered its head, the Shield Crab swiftly extended its claws and clamped them tightly onto the Peach-haired Beast King's nose. The Peach-haired Beast King immediately jumped up in pain and tried to shake the Shield Crab off with all its might. However, the Shield Crab's claws were its proud hunting method and tool, and they remained firmly clamped on the Peach-haired Beast King's nose. Seeing that it couldn't shake off the Shield Crab, the Peach-haired Beast King had no choice but to grab the Shield Crab with both hands and pull it down. The intense pain almost brought tears to the Peach-haired Beast King's eyes.

　Shieldcrab is still Shieldcrab. If it were Daimyo Shieldcrab, the size difference with Peachfist could be avoided. After a few tugs, Peachfist quickly pulled Shieldcrab off, then grabbed it and threw it away. After Shieldcrab landed, Peachfist let out a huge fart.

　The peach-furry beast's digestive system is not very efficient, but its appetite is equally terrifying. After consuming large quantities of various harmful mushrooms such as poisonous mushrooms, paralyzing mushrooms, and nitrifying mushrooms, it accumulates a lot of impurities in its intestines due to its digestive system problems.

　The peach-furry beast also has bacteria in its body that break down these impurities. While breaking down the food that is completely indigestible, it also produces a lot of gas, which can be released through the peach-furry beast's mouth or anus. However, this gas is quite nauseating.

　The shield crab, which had been knocked unconscious by the fumes, was thrown at the little girl's feet. Only then did the Peach-Furry Beast King notice the little girl. It usually attacked wild Palico tribes. Judging from its size and clothing, the Peach-Furry Beast King regarded the little girl as one of the Palicoes. At this moment, the Peach-Furry Beast King stood arrogantly on its two legs and roared at the little girl.

　Before the young girl could react, the Peach-haired Beast King arrogantly used its tail to curl up the dung it had produced, intending to attack her. The young girl didn't like this guy, so she immediately transformed back into her Black Devourer form, grabbed the Peach-haired Beast King, and stomped on its neck, breaking it. The Black Devourer didn't expect the Peach-haired Beast King to fall asleep so quickly. Then, it poked the limp Peach-haired Beast King with its claws and left somewhat disappointed.

　The Black Dragon didn't even want to try this disgusting creature. The flesh of the Peach-haired Beast King wasn't inedible; its third stomach, also known as the omasum, was quite chewy. Moreover, the Peach-haired Beast King's rectum was also edible, as it had absorbed the flavors of many fungi and plants, making it quite flavorful.

　However, the scent emanating from the Peach-haired Beast King is enough to deter anyone from being interested.

　Volume 1: 152-Xialong Sang

　There are many legends about East Dorma, such as the Flame King Dragon, the fire emperor that burned the desert overnight, or the mountain god Fuyue Dragon, known as the oldest dragon, and the storm lord, Steel Dragon, who brings clear and good weather.

　Unlike the ancient dragons that bring disaster to human settlements when they walk on the road, the Chameleon, which lives in the depths of dense forests and swamps with high humidity, is rarely sighted. Naturally, it rarely causes large-scale harm to humans. The most common sighting reports about the Chameleon in East Dorma are about the members of the Royal Scribes' Team. One scribe went into the forest with supplies to investigate, but as soon as he entered the dense forest, the Chameleon stole all his food and medicine. After the scribes learned that the Chameleon had stolen all his food, they had no choice but to end their investigation mission.

　However, it would be extremely irresponsible to say that the Chameleon is not very dangerous. You should know that the poison released by the Chameleon is no ordinary disaster. Moreover, the poison mist released by the Chameleon is not only wide but also dense. Even hunters with superhuman physical strength may not be able to withstand it. If such a Chameleon accidentally wanders into a human settlement and releases poison gas, the consequences are unimaginable.

　On the shore of a lake deep in the dense forest, a group of herbivorous dragons were replenishing their water. In the calm center of the lake, a jade-green dorsal fin rose, slowly cutting through the water's surface as it approached the shore. The herbivorous dragons were unaware of the ripples in the water. After drinking their fill, they were about to leave when the emerald dragon suddenly leaped out of the water. Its powerful ventral and caudal fins gave it tremendous explosive power. Its lungs and skin allowed it to stay underwater for longer. Once it found an opportunity, the emerald dragon could quickly burst out of the water in a matter of seconds to approach its prey and deliver a fatal blow.

　According to classification, the Emerald Water Dragon is actually a middle-aged water dragon. At this time, the Emerald Water Dragon's physical abilities become stronger than those of a typical water dragon, and its scales change from shimmering blue and gold to a beautiful emerald color.

　Based on its appearance and the scales on its body, the guild named it the Emerald Water Dragon.

　As a carnivore, the Emerald Water Dragon has two rows of sharp, flesh-eating teeth in its mouth, allowing it to firmly bite its prey and tear flesh from its body. At the same time, these teeth can also secrete paralyzing toxins after biting the prey, rendering it unable to resist.

　And so, the herbivorous dragon gradually lost its footing under the attack of the water dragon. Water dragons usually feed on fish and herbivorous dragons living in the water, and occasionally they will also prey on herbivorous dragons on land. However, once water dragons step onto land, their physical mobility is inferior to that in the water, and their scales will also become less defensive due to prolonged lack of water. After successfully catching a prey, water dragons will drag the prey into the water and eat it. Normally, water dragons are at the top of the food chain in this area, but this time, it is not.

　The young girl watched as the Emerald Water Dragon dragged the herbivorous dragon into the water. A flash of blue light appeared, and before the Emerald Water Dragon could understand what was happening, the Black Eclipse Dragon had already pounced into the lake and pinned the Emerald Water Dragon under its feet. The Emerald Water Dragon hurriedly released the herbivorous dragon it was holding in its mouth and twisted its body to quickly escape from the mud. Water dragons in the water can use their agility and powerful charge attacks to attack their prey in the water, making them extremely dangerous.

　However, this time the Emerald Water Dragon was facing the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Emerald Water Dragon's hard ventral fins and teeth could not break through the Black Eclipse Dragon's multi-layered composite scales, and were even stuck in the gaps between the scales. Instead, the Black Eclipse Dragon easily pierced the Emerald Water Dragon's body with its wing claws. In pain, the Emerald Water Dragon spewed out a high-pressure water breath that could shatter rocks from its mouth. This move was quite lethal to herbivorous dragons, but it was difficult to cause any damage to the Black Eclipse Dragon's multi-layered composite scales, especially in water. The Black Eclipse Dragon firmly grabbed the Emerald Water Dragon's body and pulled it to its side, then bit down on the Emerald Water Dragon's neck.

　After the Emerald Water Dragon beneath him fell silent, the Black Eclipse Dragon carried the Emerald Water Dragon and the Herbivorous Dragon back to the shore. The most famous part of the Emerald Water Dragon is its belly, which is full of fat. This piece of meat is called the Water Dragon Belly and is usually served as sashimi. It tastes excellent.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon's first bite was naturally from the belly. The oily, plump belly of the water dragon pleased the Black Eclipse Dragon greatly; it was worth the time she had waited. This was much tastier than that pink, smelly monkey. A large mouthful of water dragon meat might be too greasy for a human, requiring wasabi and soy sauce to balance the flavor, but for the Black Eclipse Dragon, it was just right. After emptying the Green Water Dragon's belly and internal organs, the Black Eclipse Dragon then enjoyed the Green Water Dragon's soft tail and lower limbs. While the Black Eclipse Dragon was devouring the Green Water Dragon, a sneaky creature not far away was planning to use its long, retractable tongue to steal the herbivorous dragon.

　Black Dragon naturally spotted the thief, Chameleon, immediately.

　As a typical four-legged, two-winged ancient dragon, the Chameleon is famous for its ability to manipulate poisonous mist and change color to become invisible. The Chameleon is confident that its invisibility is undetectable by most creatures, but for the Black Eclipse Dragon, who has no eyes and whose vision comes entirely from the feedback of scale dust, the Chameleon's abilities are useless. However, if the Black Eclipse Dragon is in its juvenile form, the Black Eclipse Dragon may not be able to notice the Chameleon.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon disliked having its food stolen. It suddenly turned around and spewed a thick mist at the Chameleon, then pounced on it. The Chameleon, being rather clumsy, couldn't fly or run quickly. After awkwardly dodging the Black Eclipse Dragon's mist explosion, it had no time to avoid the Black Eclipse Dragon's bite and could only be knocked to the ground. The Chameleon spewed a stream of poisonous mist to try and stop the Black Eclipse Dragon's attack, but the Black Eclipse Dragon had already bitten the Chameleon's neck, lifted it high, and slammed it aside.

　The Chameleon concealed itself, stood up, and pounced on the Black Eclipse Dragon. However, Chameleon's invisibility was almost useless against the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon jumped to the side of Chameleon's path and used Iron Mountain Lean to knock Chameleon down. Chameleon staggered to its feet, but the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws were already upon it. Its right claw firmly slammed Chameleon to the ground, while its left claw gripped Chameleon's neck. The Black Eclipse Dragon then held Chameleon down firmly, raised its head, and spewed a cloud of thick mist at Chameleon.

　The high concentration of the Mad Dragon Virus exploded, and the Chameleon let out a few weak howls. Seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon biting its neck again, the Chameleon mustered all its strength to spray out a large amount of poisonous mist. The dense poisonous mist greatly reduced the visibility around the Chameleon and the Black Eclipse Dragon. Then, the Chameleon sprayed a stream of poisonous mist at the location of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　After the first breath attack from the Chameleon, it immediately retreated while sweeping its breath horizontally. The Black Eclipse Dragon jumped over the Chameleon's breath range, turned around, raised its wing claws, and charged down to strike. The Chameleon hurriedly stopped its breath attack, flapped its wings, and flew into the air, thus dodging the Black Eclipse Dragon's attack. The Chameleon's eyes darted around, and it spat out three spurts of venom at the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: I read in a book review why the monster hunters would attack the hunters, while Konosuba and Hara were very well-behaved. Well, that's mainly a coincidence, because the hunters always tracked Hikari in her Black Dragon form, and the hunters...

　Seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon would definitely lead to a fight, right? Even Hikari and the others haven't found it in her baby form, except for a few times when Ayaka took them there. As for Hara and Subaru, the locals only see her in her baby form at first glance, and she doesn't need to transform back to eat, so she doesn't face the same situation as the hunters. That's how it is.

　Thank you everyone for your support, love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 153 - The Black Madman and the Fire Dragon

　The final outcome for Chameleon and Black Dragon was that Chameleon's tail and horns were bitten off by Black Dragon. Chameleon was covered in blood and staggered away from the battlefield, while Black Dragon won the battle, but she inhaled a large amount of poisonous mist, which made her lose her appetite.

　Yes, the venom of the Chameleon varies in effect depending on the food it eats, including toxins that damage the vocal organs, toxins that suppress the appetite, and toxins that significantly reduce the stamina of its prey.
