The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Nazel felt as if time had been compressed. "Thunder Wolf Dragon, I'm paying you back for what I did back then. Drink up!"

　Before the Mega Barrel G exploded, Nazar loaded all the fully charged grenade launchers into his Charge Blade, aimed at the yellowish-brown dragon horn on top of Zinogre's head that resembled a wolf's ear, and fired all the launchers. For a moment, time seemed to stand still, and the violent explosion shattered Zinogre's horn into pieces. Nazar quickly removed the launchers, but the fuse of the Mega Barrel G behind him had already burned out. Nazar hurriedly used his shield to block the explosion of the Mega Barrel G, and was then blasted away.

　After the flames subsided, Nazel turned around and met the raging Thunder Wolf Dragon's gaze. Only then did Nazel realize that his body was completely unprepared at this moment. "I'll just have to take this hit."

　Just as Nazel tensed his muscles in preparation, the Golden Thunder God roared from a distance, and golden lightning descended from the sky. The Golden Thunder God's forepaws were filled with golden lightning. After leaping high into the air, it slammed down on the Thunder Wolf Dragon. A large amount of lightning fell in response. The Thunder Wolf Dragon ignored its charred scales and large wounds, howling loudly as it tried to continue its attack. The Golden Thunder God leaped high with its hind legs, its tail whipping out a lightning blade that struck the Thunder Wolf Dragon directly. Then, it slammed down with its claw, and a fan-shaped bolt of lightning pierced through the Thunder Wolf Dragon's body.

　Jin Leigong looked up at Nazel and the other two with his head held high, his indigo pupils devoid of any emotion. As for the injured hunters, the Greatsword Hunter and the Hunting Horn Hunter had already been sent back by the Palico. After seeing Jin Leigong off, Nazel and the other two helped each other walk toward Yukumo Village.

　On the other hand, Owen and his group were not as lucky as Nazel. There were not many traces of the Black Eclipse Dragon, so their primary focus was on Raymond's sighting report. Based on the sighting report, they deduced that the Black Eclipse Dragon appeared at the foot of Spirit Peak Mountain, so they went to Spirit Peak. Unfortunately, the young girl was not at Spirit Peak at the moment; she was hunting horned dragons in the desert.

　In the desert, the Black Eclipse Dragon awaits the appearance of the Diablos. The Diablos' thigh meat and heart are delicacies favored by young girls, and these are considered relatively luxurious. The reason why Diablos' meat and heart are so luxurious is precisely because Diablos are difficult to hunt. Although they are herbivorous, their immense strength and ferocious nature make them comparable to carnivores like Rathalos and Glavenus. In the records of the Dragon History Institute, there are even accounts of human villages being destroyed by Diablos.

　However, for the Black Eclipse Dragon, capturing the Diablos was not that difficult. The Black Eclipse Dragon's method was simple and straightforward: it hid in the shadows and waited quietly for the Diablos to appear. Although the Diablos could swim underwater in the sand, it also needed to surface regularly to breathe and eat. Fresh and juicy cacti were the Diablos's favorite food, so as soon as the Diablos surfaced, the scales would tell the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　Then the horned dragon will die.

　Volume 1: Chapter 192 - The Volcano Duo

　[Information Update] Several years ago, Lanlong, who came to Lingfeng, drove Leilanglong off Lingfeng. In the end, she was defeated by the hunters of Yukumo Village. So, the proud Lanlong decided that she would never pay attention to the hunters of Yukumo Village again. Lanlong turned around and flew north. The towering mountains and the vast sea there are very suitable for Lanlong to live in. Overall, Lanlong is actually a proud and soft girl, and a bit childish.

　Owen and his team ultimately found only hunting tracks of the Black Eclipse Dragon, but not the dragon itself. After carefully examining the claw marks and footprints at the scene, Owen had to admit that Raymond was right; the Black Eclipse Dragon was at least thirty meters long. After collecting the footprints and tracks, Owen also noticed something strange. Judging from the depth and position of the claw marks and footprints, the Black Eclipse Dragon's hunting method was to pounce from the air, directly killing its prey on the ground. This also indicated that the Black Eclipse Dragon successfully hunted its prey, and they hadn't found it.

　The remains of severed limbs of a Black Erosion Dragon after it had eaten were found at the scene.

　According to the Royal Scribes' ecological report, although the Black Eclipse Dragon's head looks like a snake, it doesn't swallow its food whole like other serpent dragons. Owen believes that at least some of the prey's claws and monster feces could be found at the scene, which is true. However, after hunting, the Black Eclipse Dragon takes its prey back to Yukumo Village and hands it over to the Palico chef to process before eating it. The monster's claws and the remaining ingredients would directly become the little girl's meal fee.

　However, due to the young girl's small appetite, there were often situations where the meal money was insufficient.

　Inside the meeting room, apart from the two injured hunters, everyone who had participated in the hunt for the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon had gathered. Owen was also there; he had a few questions to confirm with the village chief of Yukumo Village.

　"Based on the information everyone brought back, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that we successfully located the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon, and with the help of the leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragon pack, Jin Leigong, we finally defeated the Ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon. According to the observations of the Scribe Team, the Thunder Wolf Dragon pack should have already embarked on its journey back to Spirit Peak."

　"This means that the ultimate form of the Thunder Wolf Dragon is the culprit that forced the Thunder Wolf Dragon pack to withdraw from Spirit Peak. So I think the bad news is that we're going to hunt that Black Eclipse Dragon."

　The village chief of Jieyun Village shook his head slightly and gestured to Owen with his fan. Owen understood and immediately stood up, saying, "I'm very sorry, everyone, we haven't found any trace of the Black Eclipse Dragon. However, we have made a new discovery. The Black Eclipse Dragon's tracks are quite widespread. In the past half month, we have found traces of the Black Eclipse Dragon hunting near Jieyun Village. Even with so many tracks, we still haven't found the Black Eclipse Dragon. This is one of the things I need to discuss with the village chief. Another thing is the size of that Black Eclipse Dragon. It's too big."

　Raymond was the most qualified to speak on this matter, and immediately nodded in agreement, after all, he was the only one who had personally seen the Black Devourer Dragon.

　"As you all probably know, it is very likely the King Nether Black Eclipse Dragon from the New World. The information from the New World specifically indicates that its whereabouts are elusive. Since the King Nether Black Eclipse Dragon has appeared in Jieyun Village, there must be a large number of berserk monsters. However, judging from the situation of the commission, this is not the case. According to the investigation report given by Owen and the information from the New World, the scholars speculate that the King Nether Black Eclipse Dragon likes to live in places where ley lines gather, so it is rarely discovered by us."

　"So that means underground?"

　"Yes, Wang Ming prefers to live deep in the dragon crystal land where the ley lines converge. The ground there is covered with scale powder. That's what the data says. As for the appearance of that ultimate Thunder Wolf Dragon, considering the appearance of the Golden Thunder God, the Thunder Wolf Dragon should have been driven out of its clan and then accidentally entered the ley line land while foraging for food. The large amount of scale powder directly caused the Thunder Wolf Dragon to enter its ultimate form."

　Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but imagine what it would look like with the sky filled with scales and dust. The village chief then told everyone that she had applied to the Ancient Dragon Investigation Bureau for an investigation airship, and she believed that with the help of the investigation airship, they could quickly find the Black Devourer Dragon.

　Meanwhile, the young girl had already crossed the Spirit Peak and arrived in the volcanic area. She was looking for ingredients she had never seen before, such as the Crimson Armor Beast and the Flame Dragon.

　The Red Armored Beast, which lives in volcanic areas, mainly relies on preying on various small beetle species. In addition to walking on four legs, the Red Armored Beast has also mastered a unique way of long-distance travel: it curls itself into a ball, protects itself with its hard carapace, and then rolls its body at high speed, moving forward in the manner of a wheel. This is also another means for it to protect itself.

　Living year-round in arid environments like volcanoes and deserts, the Red-Armored Beast's eyesight and hearing have suffered slight deterioration. At the same time, its sense of smell has become exceptionally acute, and its long, flexible tongue can swiftly snatch up beetles and swallow them whole. Even so, despite its lower ecological niche, the Red-Armored Beast is stronger than both the Blue Bear Beast and the White Rabbit Beast. Of course, when faced with a more powerful predator, it will release large amounts of toxic gas from its scent glands to repel the enemy.

　If this move fails to force the enemy back, the Red Armor Beast will quickly shrink into a ball and immediately roll away.

　According to the Palico chef, the tongue of the Red Armor Beast is a delicacy. Because it uses its tongue to hunt, the tongue of the Red Armor Beast is chewy and can be made into fried rice with onions and leeks. This dish has always been popular among hunters. As for other parts, only the meat on the back of the Red Armor Beast is edible, and it is a bit troublesome to process. You need to pry open the carapace of the Red Armor Beast and then cut out the meat.

　The Crimson Armored Beast that the Black Eclipse Dragon discovered was over eight meters long. Just as the Crimson Armored Beast was trying to escape and curled up into a ball, it was firmly grabbed by the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws. The Black Eclipse Dragon raised its wing claws and slammed the Crimson Armored Beast to the ground. The violent impact immediately restored the Crimson Armored Beast to its original shape. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Black Eclipse Dragon stretched its wing claws into the gaps in the Crimson Armored Beast's scales, and the sharp wing claws pierced directly through the Crimson Armored Beast's body.

　Crimson-armored beast, dead!

　Nearby, the Fiery Dragon, having just given birth, was applying lava to its body. Using the flame-retardant liquid secreted from its skin, the Fiery Dragon could briefly submerge into the lava, and its purpose in doing so was to cloak itself in lava.

　A layer of impenetrable stone armor.

　The lava beasts born from the Flame Dragon are practicing short-distance burrowing around their mother. Newborns have only mastered this skill and can only burrow downwards. When they grow to two or three meters tall, they can break through rocks and burrow underground. Mature Flame Dragons can also drink magma and then spew it out with great pressure to form scorching breath. However, the lava beasts can only spew out small flames at the moment.

　The lava beast noticed the pitch-black monster, and the black-eating dragon also found that the lava beast tasted quite good when eaten raw.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Red Armormon, White Rabbitmon, and Blue Bearmon were known as the Three Musketeers of Fanged Beasts, but Red Armormon is the only one without a second name. It's truly a powerful monster without a reputation!

　Volume 1: Chapter 193 - Peach-furred Beast Cuisine

　The Flamegore Dragon can be considered the overlord of the volcanic region. Azure Rathalos, Black Tigrex, and even Brachydios are its rivals. Even Brute Wyverns like Deviljho have to expend some effort to suppress the Flamegore Dragon. However, this time the Flamegore Dragon is facing the King of Darkness Black Eclipse Dragon.

　The armor of the Flamegore Dragon is covered with a layer of hard ore. A regular kitchen knife can only leave a white mark when it is cut. The usual way for hunters to deal with it is to lure the Flamegore Dragon back into the lava, or to use artillery fire to heat up the material covering the Flamegore Dragon's shell and soften it. However, the Palico chef has its own unique cooking method, which is to use small explosive barrels to blast off the surface ore.

　As a large sea dragon species, this adult Flamegore Dragon reached a length of thirty-one meters. Beneath its heat-resistant shell with small protrusions lies a thin layer of fat. Its mouth, known as the Ikari-gumi, is uniquely shaped and hard. Combined with its strong muscles, the Flamegore Dragon can easily break through volcanic rock layers, allowing it to move freely within them. It is also because of this that the sturdy muscles in its neck are very chewy. The Palico chef marinated the sliced ​​meat with various seasonings such as salt and honey, then blanched it in a pot for about thirty seconds before taking it out. It was then placed on a side dish of stir-fried scallop slices, coral shrimp, and lily squid, and finally sprinkled with chili and poured with hot oil. The Flamegore Dragon meat immediately absorbed the flavors of chili and seasonings.

　The meat on the belly of the Flamegoron looks somewhat like snake meat, but it tastes much more tender and smooth. In particular, the chef, Elune, cut the Flamegoron belly meat into thin strips, and also cut the mushrooms and bamboo shoots that are special to Yukumo Village into strips. Finally, he added dried giant squid and chopped red snapper to the soup and simmered it together. Finally, he added rock salt, pepper and other seasonings and cooked it until the soup was not thick and had a soupy consistency. When you scoop up a spoonful of the soup and put it in your mouth, it is smooth and warm.

　As for the Flamegore's tail, the Palico chef sliced ​​it into thick slices along the spine, grilled it over charcoal, and brushed it with honey and Yukumo Village's secret sauce. The Flamegore tail meat, slightly curled up from the charcoal fire, emitted a rich aroma, and glistening oil dripped from the jewel-like slices. The Palico chef placed the grilled meat slices on a plate and served it to the little girl.

　For hunters, such a large Flamedragon and Crimson Armor Beast would be enough to feed several hunter teams, but for the little girl, it was just right. The little girl's hearty eating immediately attracted the attention of Owen and the others. Owen had never seen any child eat so much food, let alone a child with horns and a tail. However, Owen only thought that the little girl was a rare dragon-human girl. After all, only a few people in the guild's high-ranking members knew that ancient dragons could transform into human form. The actual information was extremely scarce, not to mention whether such a thing was credible. Just saying it would probably only make people laugh.

　"So, even such young children from your area are becoming hunters?"

　"Oh, her? She's not a hunter from our village. She seems to be a tourist from somewhere. She's a dragon-human, you know. But after she came to Yukumo Village, she was attracted by the food and hot springs. And she's always had a good relationship with the head chef. I remember now, she's really lucky. The village chief mentioned that she found a scale of a Black Erosion Dragon."

　"What? Black Eclipse Dragon scales? Take me to see them! Could it be that she hunted down a Black Eclipse Dragon?" Owen excitedly grabbed Raymond's shoulders and shook him. For the past two weeks, Owen had been unable to find the Black Eclipse Dragon, and he desperately needed to know its whereabouts. However, he was about to be disappointed.

　"Hey, hey, stop shaking her. The head chef asked her, and she just found it on the road. The materials are with the blacksmith."

　Soon, Owen walked out of the blacksmith's shop with his head down. Just as Raymond had said, the dragon girl didn't know the origin of the Black Corroded Dragon Scales either. At that moment, the investigation airship requested by the village chief had stopped in the center of Jieyun Village.

　Several years ago, when fierce winds and torrential rains swept through Lingfeng, two scholars from the Gulong Investigation Bureau risked their lives driving...

　The research airship arrived above Lingfeng, then was hit by a stream of water and crashed halfway down the mountain. It was because of the two's selfless exploration that the hunters finally uncovered the real reason why the Thunder Wolf Dragon clan left Lingfeng and found the culprit: the Storm Dragon.

　The Storm Dragon is the type with a weak desire to attack but a very strong sense of territory. It will not hesitate to kill and drive away any other creature it believes has violated its sovereignty. So when the survey airship appeared over Spirit Peak, the Storm Dragon did not hesitate to release its Water-Cutting Breath and shoot it down. It was because of this shooting that the Royal Scribes Team was able to see the true form of the Storm Dragon.

　The survey airship took off from Jieyun Village. Raymond, Nazel, and Owen sat in the cockpit below. Raymond piloted the airship, and the three of them passed through streams and dense forests, slowly arriving near Lingfeng. While adjusting the airship's output, Raymond took out his binoculars to observe the situation below. Owen and Nazel had already begun their observations.

　From Raymond and Irving's perspective, the situation on Spirit Peak was perfectly normal.

　“Those are the Dog Dragon King and the Maru Bird. There are also herds of herbivorous dragons and herds of elven deer over here. Look, there’s a Thunder Wolf Dragon in the distance.”

　"That's a dromedary dragon, and there are wild boars nearby."

　"Raymond, your binoculars are really sharp! I can even see the scales on the male Rathalos... wait, a Rathalos?"

　Owen was looking around with his binoculars when he suddenly saw an incredibly clear dragon scale through the lens. After asking a question, Owen realized that it wasn't a problem with the binoculars; the dragon had actually come right next to him.

　Nazel hurriedly pulled out a flashbang from his offspring, while Raymond pulled out a stench bomb. "Naza, don't use the flashbang, let me handle it."

　As Raymond spoke, he threw the stench bomb at the fire dragon's face. The stench bomb, made from the glands of the Peach-haired Beast King, was extremely effective. Not only the fire dragon, but Raymond and Nazel, who were closest to the stench bomb, immediately vomited violently at the edge of the airship. Owen, who was farther away than the two of them, immediately covered his nose after smelling the nauseating odor.

　"Raymond, why did you bring the Peach-Furry Beast Stink Bomb? That thing is an ultimate bio-weapon that can be traded for one life! Ugh~"

　"I don't know either. I thought it was a poop-shaped jade, ugh~"

　Of course, this also has its advantages. The fire dragon flew away, flew far away. In its understanding, some things are edible and some things are not, and the peach-fur beast's things are the kind that are not edible.

　Interestingly, hunters enjoy eating the third stomach of the Peach-furred Beast, also known as the omasum. The rectum of the Peach-furred Beast, which is called the "Steel Cannon of the Peach-furred Beast King," is also edible. According to its proponents, this is because it absorbs the flavor substances from the many fungi that the Peach-furred Beast has eaten, resulting in a very rich flavor.

　In the hunter world, eating a "Peach Fur Beast King's Steel Cannon" has even become a way for Peach Fur Beast King cuisine advocates to boost morale.

　Volume 1: Chapter 194 - Light and Storm (Part 1)

　On a huge rock by the sea, a beautiful young girl gently swung her feet, letting the seawater wash over her. Her bright silver hair was carefully tucked behind her ears, and on either side of her head were a pair of golden dragon horns that extended backward, looking somewhat like coral branches. A few strands of silver hair were neatly placed on the dragon horns, preventing her hair from being messed up by the wind. She wore a light pink kimono embroidered with various patterns.

　The girl watched the clear seawater wash over her delicate white toes, a slight smile playing on her lips. Suddenly, a creaking sound came from beside her, startling her so much she nearly fell in. Annoyed, she followed the sound, only to find it was a little girl. The little girl was wielding a massive, silver-white blade much larger than herself, attempting to pry open the shell of the Daimyo Shield Crab. The little girl seemed oblivious to the girl's arrival. The silver-white blade was already firmly embedded in the crack of the Daimyo Shield Crab's shell. With a single, forceful thrust, the little girl ripped the shell off, causing it to collide with a broken piece of dragon skull nearby.

　The little girl reached out and scooped out the white crab meat and tender crab roe, stuffing them into her mouth with a silly, OVO-like expression. The girl, however, disliked other creatures appearing in her territory. Just as she was about to raise her hand to unleash her Water Breath, her nostrils twitched slightly; she caught a faint scent of an ancient dragon in the air. The girl then realized that this little guy was probably an ancient dragon too. She smiled slightly, thinking that this was more appropriate, as she had just woken up.

　I'm thinking of getting some exercise now.

　With a deafening roar, a fierce wind and torrential rain descended upon the area. A slender monster with white wings on its sides appeared in the sky—it was the Lanlong, who had run away from Lingfeng. The most distinctive feature of the Lanlong was the white membranes of unknown purpose growing all over its body. After research by scholars and the scribes, they named these white membranes "flying membranes" and speculated that they were related to the Lanlong's levitation ability. Startled by the thunder in the sky, the young girl immediately looked up. She had never seen a Lanlong before, and its appearance and the floating membranes on its body looked quite appetizing. In addition, adhering to the principle of "take a bite first if it's not delicious," a flash of blue light appeared, and the young girl transformed back into her Black Corrosion Dragon form, flapping her wings and chasing after the Lanlong.

　"Roar~" The stingy Storm Dragon opened its mouth and let out a roar, then stirred up a gale that swept towards the Black Eclipse Dragon. Almost no flying dragon can fly freely in the storm carried by the Storm Dragon. For ordinary flying dragons, being in the center of the storm will make their wing membranes more wet and heavier, greatly consuming the flying dragon's stamina. If they try to increase their flight altitude at this time, the storm will cause the rain to freeze quickly, taking away the flying dragon's body heat. This means that flying dragons that rashly approach the Storm Dragon storm will only end up filling the Storm Dragon's belly.

　However, these are not problems for the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon has extremely strong flying ability. Even in a raging storm, its cloak-like wings allow it to move freely in the rain. The Black Eclipse Dragon's wing membranes are covered with tiny scales that are like hair. Because of its extremely high metabolic rate, the scales are constantly growing and falling off. This makes it difficult for rainwater to adhere to the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing membranes, so there is no problem of freezing. Moreover, the gale stirred up by the Storm Dragon can spread the scale powder, increasing the Black Eclipse Dragon's perception range.

　Seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon tear through the gale and fly directly to its side, the Storm Dragon used its Storm Energy Cells to compress the water flow, then opened its mouth and spewed out a powerful high-pressure water jet. Its power was so great that it could easily cut through the earth. Although the Black Eclipse Dragon usually didn't care much about its prey's counterattacks, it dared not take the Storm Dragon's water-cutting breath head-on when faced with a high-pressure water jet that could pierce the earth. Even though the Black Eclipse Dragon was not weak in water, it hurriedly adjusted its flight posture to avoid the Storm Dragon's high-pressure water jet.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon quickly flew to the side, attempting to approach the Storm Dragon. The Storm Dragon twisted its body, flipped over, and spat out a water ball at the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Black Eclipse Dragon had no choice but to flap its wings again to dodge the Storm Dragon's attack. Compared to the Storm Dragon, which moved through the air like a fish in the sea, the Black Eclipse Dragon could only keep creating distance and then rush towards the Storm Dragon. However, the Storm Dragon was able to dodge the Black Eclipse Dragon's attacks every time. The Black Eclipse Dragon immediately realized that this brute force would not work. So, when the Storm Dragon spat out another water ball in an attempt to make the Black Eclipse Dragon change its flight direction, the Black Eclipse Dragon unhesitatingly took the attack.

　The water ball blasted off the Black Eclipse Dragon's scales, causing it to bleed profusely from its shoulder. Taking advantage of the situation, the Black Eclipse Dragon bit the Blue Dragon's neck, its wing claws gripping the Blue Dragon's white membrane, trying to tear it off. For the Blue Dragon, she rarely had the chance to engage in close combat with her enemies. The Black Eclipse Dragon's method of trading blows was something the Blue Dragon had never seen before, and she panicked immediately. Instinctively, she entangled herself with the Black Eclipse Dragon and opened her mouth to bite it as well.

　The tense Lanlong seemed to have forgotten one thing: unlike the Black Eclipse Dragon, which takes off with an engine, the Lanlong is more like an airship. Now that the two behemoths are locked in combat, it means that the Lanlong needs to provide more buoyancy than the two dragons combined. As a result, the two dragons naturally plummeted rapidly. The Lanlong quickly realized that her dragon teeth could not penetrate the Black Eclipse Dragon's scales. When she tried to shake off the Black Eclipse Dragon, it still held tightly to the Lanlong's neck and used its wing claws to fix itself to the Lanlong.

　The sharp blades on the Black Corrosive Dragon's wing claws slashed through the Storm Dragon's abdomen and back, embedding themselves in it. Due to the Storm Dragon's skeletal structure, its body was extremely agile. The Black Corrosive Dragon only left several tooth marks on the Storm Dragon's neck, without piercing it. The two dragons fell to the ground during their struggle, landing precisely on the Storm Dragon's back. The blades on the Black Corrosive Dragon's wing claws then cut a deep wound on the Storm Dragon's body. In pain, the Storm Dragon immediately squeezed out water and unleashed a Water-Cutting Breath.

　The high-pressure water gun immediately shot off the Black Eclipse Dragon's body and onto the opposite mountain. The high-speed water flow easily sliced ​​off the Black Eclipse Dragon's flesh. Then, the Storm Dragon condensed a water ball in its mouth and immediately spat it at the Black Eclipse Dragon. The water ball exploded upon contact with the Black Eclipse Dragon, and the Black Eclipse Dragon screamed in agony as the area cut by the high-speed water flow instantly became a bloody mess.

　Lanlong swayed its body and flew into the air, looking triumphantly at the Black Eclipse Dragon on the ground. Just as Lanlong was about to unleash its finishing attack, "Roar~" the Black Eclipse Dragon, which had been lying on the ground, stood up, raised its head, and roared angrily. The folded tentacles on its head unfolded, its wing claws lowered, and it entered a six-legged walking state. Pale blue and white-gold light gradually lit up on its chest, and pale blue light emanated from where its eyes should have been. Lanlong roared angrily, "Roar~" but what Lanlong received in response was the Black Eclipse Dragon's pale blue light cannon.

　The beam cannon grazed the Lanlong's body and hit the sky. Lanlong thought that the Black Eclipse Dragon could only fire once, but then the Black Eclipse Dragon fired three more beam cannons in succession. Lanlong barely dodged two of them, but the last one hit Lanlong's dorsal fin, instantly burning the pure white dorsal fin black.

　After firing the light cannon, the Black Eclipse Dragon felt pain.

　She let out two low growls, the burning pain in her throat making her feel uncomfortable.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: According to the Dawn of the Sun setting book, the Storm Dragon that destroyed Artemisia and Sunfire's homeland flew to Hellfire Village. The Storm Dragon came from Spirit Peak, but in MHRS, the Storm Dragon was changed; its whiskers became longer, its horns became rougher, and its appearance became more ferocious. Therefore, I optimized it so that there are two dragons. The one in P3 is just a girl.

　Thank you all for your support, love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 195 - Light and Storm (Part 2)

　Seeing that part of its beautiful dorsal fin had been burned away, the Storm Dragon's anger surged to an unprecedented level. A faint orange light emanated from its eyes and chest. According to the old hunters, those who were exposed to this eerie light would lose their future and meet a bad end. However, the Black Eclipse Dragon was a dragon, not a human, so it was unharmed.

　As the Storm Dragon entered its enraged state, its entire body turned black. Many crimson spots appeared on its originally pure white, fin-like membrane. The Storm Dragon's magnificent, flawless horns also shimmered with golden light. The Storm Dragon spun rapidly in the air, generating powerful updrafts in several places, forming multiple outward-spreading tornadoes to restrict the Black Eclipse Dragon's movements. At the same time, it swung its tail, and a horizontal tornado appeared in front of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon stood up from the ground, let out a high-pitched roar, and immediately spewed several clouds of thick mist at the Storm Dragon. Then it jumped away from the spot, dodging the Storm Dragon's tornado. The Storm Dragon threw a water ball in the direction of the Black Eclipse Dragon, dispersing the thick mist.

　Seeing the Black Eclipse Dragon jump away, the Storm Dragon immediately twisted its body and swam quickly to the Black Eclipse Dragon's side like a snake, intending to bite it. However, the Black Eclipse Dragon did not panic. After standing up, it unleashed a Frenzied Dragon Cannon in the direction the Storm Dragon was moving. As an Elder Dragon, the Storm Dragon was naturally not infected with the Frenzied Dragon Virus, but the damage from the explosion was still considerable. The Storm Dragon had seen what a dense fog cloud looked like when it exploded. The Frenzied Dragon Cannon would immediately cause three T-shaped explosions after landing. The Storm Dragon had no choice but to give up biting and instead swung its flipper-like forelimbs and tail at the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon gathered the Mad Dragon Virus on its wing claws, then raised them and slammed them down, triggering a Mad Dragon Explosion in a straight line ahead. The Storm Dragon, with its agile body moving through the air, dodged the Black Eclipse Dragon's attack, then retreated slightly, bent its body, and suddenly flipped over, unleashing a powerful upward slash. The Black Eclipse Dragon was hit by the Storm Dragon's tail whip, staggering back a few steps, then jumped back and fired another beam of light.

　Because of the close proximity, the Storm Dragon had no chance to dodge this time, and a large portion of its massive dorsal fin was instantly burned away. The Storm Dragon roared angrily and turned to chase after the Black Eclipse Dragon. At this moment, the pale blue and white-gold light on the Black Eclipse Dragon's chest shone even brighter, and white-gold scales slowly appeared among the surrounding blackish-purple scales. Pale blue flames also gradually emerged from the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws, wing membranes, and the ends of its limbs. The Black Eclipse Dragon jumped back a few steps to avoid the Storm Dragon's bite, and then charged at the Storm Dragon, trying to grab it and throw it to the ground.

　Enraged, the Storm Dragon created a towering tornado, forcing the Black Eclipse Dragon back. It then hovered in place, gathering its strength, causing the surrounding air to tremble. The Storm Dragon then circled around the Black Eclipse Dragon, creating a massive tornado that carried away debris, trees, and the Storm Dragon's water-cutting breath and water ball attacks. This included a large amount of scale dust produced by the Black Eclipse Dragon's metabolism, including some platinum-gold scale dust. The Black Eclipse Dragon dodged the Storm Dragon's water-cutting breath and water ball attacks while simultaneously unleashing a beam of light in an attempt to break through the Storm Dragon's massive tornado.

　Just as Lanlong was about to release the whirlwind water ball, a series of explosions suddenly occurred at the center of the giant tornado. Lanlong looked over in surprise and saw that it was the explosion caused by the clustered white-gold scales. Before Lanlong could see clearly, the pale blue beam of light immediately struck Lanlong's body. The scorching and surging energy caused Lanlong to let out a scream. The beam of light from the Black Eclipse Dragon slowly thinned, and finally the Black Eclipse Dragon closed its mouth. The pale blue beam of light exploded on Lanlong's back, burning flesh into a blur. The Black Eclipse Dragon also suffered severe burns to its throat due to its reckless use of the earth's energy, and blackish-purple dragon blood flowed from its mouth.

　The intense pain prevented Lanlong from levitating, and Heishilong seized the opportunity to bite her. However, like water, her interest vanished instantly. Heishilong was covered in wounds left by Lanlong, and her throat was still throbbing with pain. Disappointed, Heishilong glanced at Lanlong and flapped her wings, flying away.

　"Roar!!!" Lanlong roared angrily at the spot where the Black Devouring Dragon had left, seemingly furious at what it was up to. However, for Lanlong, the most urgent task was to treat her wounds. She carefully bit off the pieces of flesh destroyed by the Black Devouring Dragon's breath. She didn't know whether to be grateful or hateful; the Black Devouring Dragon's breath had actually made the wounds easier to treat after burning them. As for the white membrane on its back, Lanlong twisted her body and bit off the charred parts. Otherwise...

　If you do that, these scars will remain on your body forever, becoming your weakness.

　The remaining scales, whether broken or lost in the fight, will slowly grow back as the Azure Dragon recuperates. For an Elder Dragon, even a broken horn can grow back, so scales are nothing to worry about. The Azure Dragon also found itself a hot spring rich in minerals. As for the incident of shooting down an investigation airship on the way to find the hot spring, the Azure Dragon didn't care. The mineral-rich hot spring could help the Azure Dragon recover. The Azure Dragon, who was poking its head out of the hot spring, was thinking about the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　As for the Black Eclipse Dragon, she staggered back to the top of Spirit Peak after grabbing a Sand Dragon. The young girl also spent a lot of time treating her wounds. After turning the Sand Dragon into a pile of bones, the Black Eclipse Dragon transformed back into the young girl's form and fell asleep. The young girl's form could reduce some of the pain, but the pain in her throat was still there.

　The young girl also chose to relax in the hot spring. Inside the hunter's meeting place, she clapped her hands and selected four large meals. It seemed that a festival or something was going on in Yukumo Village, and the dishes that the Palico chef served to the young girl became colorful.

　The cat chef took out a large piece of meat from the side, rubbed it with spices, honey, salt and other seasonings, and gently kneaded it to ensure the flavors were fully absorbed. Then, he placed it on the grill and seared all six sides until they changed color. He then added green peppers, garlic and mint to the surface, wrapped it in a large fern, and placed it in the deepest part of the oven. When the fern was charred, he took out the large piece of meat. You could see the juices bursting out of the meat with just a gentle press. The little girl happily forked a piece of meat and started tearing into it. The aroma of the meat immediately made her show an O~O expression.

　Lava Lamb, a precious ingredient whose flavor intensifies the longer it's stewed, is stewed by Chef Elune with sturdy sorghum and carefully selected mushrooms. These mushrooms are so delicious that even seasoned chefs rave about them, while the sturdy sorghum enhances the aroma of the lava lamb. Before Chef Elune even opened the dish, the little girl's mouth was already watering. The rich lamb paired with the tender mushrooms made her drool. She scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and it slid down her throat without her even needing to chew.

　Just as the young girl was enjoying her meal, Raymond, Nazel, and Owen arrived at the meeting place in a disheveled state. Mattia anxiously asked what had happened, only to find out that the survey airship had been destroyed by the Storm Dragon.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: In MHRS, the village chief, Fugen, mentioned that the Storm Dragon was more dangerous than the Hundred Dragons Parade, the Wind God Dragon, and the Thunder God Dragon. However, the setting book states that before the cause of the Hundred Dragons Parade was determined, the Storm Dragon was considered to be the same being as the Wind God Dragon.

　Volume 1: Chapter 196 - The Unconscious Storm Dragon

　Based on Lanlong's physical structure, she is a pure carnivore, and to this day, no one has ever seen how Lanlong eats.

　Lanlong swam out of the hot spring, its body swaying. The translucent membrane around it swayed and floated with the air currents, making Lanlong's body look beautiful as it swam in the air, like a goddess dressed in feathered robes. Its dorsal fin had grown halfway out, and the broken hard scales on its abdomen had fallen away, revealing its fair belly.

　Unlike Elder Dragons like Lao-Shan Lung, Ushura, and Teostra that eat minerals, the Storm Dragon primarily feeds on birds and marine fish, especially swordfish, snakefish, and large sashimi fish. Its relatively small hind limbs compared to its forelimbs are presumably due to its long-term aloft and detachment from the ground, which meant the Storm Dragon rarely used its hind limbs, leading to their atrophy.

　Lanlong's forelimbs and tail are her usual physical attack methods. Her supple body allows her to whip her tail like a whip, causing fatal damage. However, for Lanlong, she only needs to stun the swimming marlin, large sashimi fish, or snake salmon. The extra-large marlin is one of Lanlong's favorite ingredients. The marlin has white, sinewy flesh and delicious taste, making it a rare and high-end ingredient. Lanlong flicks her head to pick up the marlin, but she doesn't like the marlin's head and arrow-like upper jaw. So, Lanlong bites off the marlin's body and throws it into the sea.

　The snake salmon and the large sashimi fish were swallowed by Lanlong along with seawater. Then, Lanlong squeezed the seawater out of its mouth and slowly chewed the snake salmon and the large sashimi fish in its mouth. The large sashimi fish has rich oil and a smooth texture. It is also a very popular ingredient among hunters. As the name suggests, sashimi is the most delicious way to eat the large sashimi fish. The snake salmon is different. Hunters like to skewer it on bamboo sticks, sprinkle it with seasonings, and then grill it over a fire until it is crispy. One bite and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.
