The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　But even with its fierce charge, the Black Eclipse Dragon remained firmly on the ground, let alone falling. However, unlike the Fire Dragon, it didn't spit fireballs at the ground and take off. "Owen!" Hert shouted while concentrating on keeping an eye on the Black Eclipse Dragon. He glanced at Owen for a moment, and after their eyes met, the two, who were extremely in sync, immediately understood what the other wanted to do.

　Europe

　Wen and Het leaped to the left and right, creating distance between themselves, and sprinted towards the Black Eclipse Dragon. This attack method was intended to launch attacks on the Black Eclipse Dragon's sides separately. The two men's actions left the Black Eclipse Dragon momentarily unsure of which side to engage. Veronica also understood what the two were up to, and she attached three Dragon-Slaying Bullets to her arrows. Once Owen and Het created an opportunity for her, she charged up and fired the Dragon Arrow.

　In the original script, Owen and Hurt were supposed to launch the first attack, causing a stun, after which Veronica would attack. That was the plan.

　As Owen swung his Water Serpent Battle Axe, he struck the Black Eclipse Dragon. At the same time, he felt the hardness of the earth against his back. Meanwhile, Hurt, who was holding the Earth Sand Critical Hit, was knocked away by the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws. Owen then realized that the Black Eclipse Dragon could multitask, using its wing claws to deal with his and Hurt's attacks separately. Veronica, realizing that something was wrong, immediately fired Dragon Arrow.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon turned its body to dodge the Dragon Arrow, then swung its tail at Owen on the ground. Owen barely managed to stand up and raised the Water Serpent Battle Axe to block the Black Eclipse Dragon's tail attack. It was an extremely heavy attack. Feeling intense pain in his abdomen, Owen immediately downed a can of nutrient solution without thinking, and then ate the Elimination Fruit.

　Owen searched through his memory but couldn't find a suitable place to attack or an opportunity to strike. Just as Owen hesitated, "Haaah! I'm definitely going to defeat you!" Hurt, who had rushed over from afar, roared and slammed the sand shard heavily into the Black Devourer's head. After landing, Hurt looked at Owen triumphantly, since only Hurt had failed to hit the Black Devourer.

　"Idiot, look at the dragon."

　The Black Eclipse Dragon shook its head; it still felt a bit of pain from being hit. After raising its upper body to gather strength, it slammed its pair of wing claws forward. Just as Owen was about to pounce and pull Hetra over, the huge wing claws were already above their heads.

　Veronica, her eyes red, immediately charged forward. The Black Devourer then extended its wing claws and swept them to the side. The sharp wing claws sliced ​​through Veronica's upper body armor. After spitting out a cloud of blood mist, Veronica flew backward and lay motionless on the ground.

　Thunder Dragon: Keep saying I'll fall down.

　(The dragons laughed wildly)

　Volume 1: Chapter 201 - Where Did Your Power Come From?

　After leaving Yuyun Village, Lanmei went to Yuyun Village for several days in a row, but to Lanmei's surprise, the little black guy did not come to Yuyun Village for several days. As usual, Lanmei stepped into Kusatsukaku and then put a bunch of beautiful Abyss Crystals and White Heron Stones on the counter. The proprietress smiled and took them, then called an Articuno to lead Lanmei to the most luxurious hot spring.

　Lanmei removed her kimono and undershirt and set them aside. Some faint scars remained on her fair and smooth skin. Lanmei gently sank into the hot spring. She placed her light pink cherry blossom patterned kimono and pure white undershirt on the shelf. These two garments were made from the scales and flying membrane material of Lanlong. In terms of defense, they were comparable to high-level armor. Looking at the silver hair floating on the water, Lanmei couldn't help but wonder what kind of dragon that little black guy was.

　Inside the meeting place, the village chief of Yukumo Village looked at the unconscious Owen, Hurt, and Veronica. The three of them had been rushed back by the Palico emergency rescue team in the early morning. All three of them had serious injuries, but Owen and Hurt were the most severely injured. Their lower bodies were smashed beyond recognition, and their armor was completely crushed. Veronica was unconscious because she had been slashed in the chest, causing massive bleeding. But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that the three of them had absorbed a lot of scale powder, and when they were brought in, the blood flowing out was already black.

　Thanks to the Dragonkin's secret techniques, the three were out of danger. However, because they arrived late, even the Dragonkin's secret techniques were helpless against Owen and Het's legs. This meant that their future was to give up their hunter careers and take up clerical jobs in Moga Village. Of course, working in the Hunter's Guild was also an option. As for Veronica, she was fine after being given a nutrient solution and a sleeping potion.

　However, whether the three of them can wake up depends entirely on their own will.

　At the summit of Lingfeng Peak, the Black Eclipse Dragon stretched its body. As it spread its wings and opened its wing membranes, countless points of light gradually emerged on the ground. These points of light, as if attracted by the Black Eclipse Dragon, gradually converged into a spider web.

　It appears that the Black Eclipse Dragon is at the center of the spider web. As the Black Eclipse Dragon absorbs these light spots, star-like spots gradually appear on the inner side of its unfolded wing membrane. After these energies enter the Black Eclipse Dragon's body, they gradually gather in the Black Eclipse Dragon's chest, promoting the growth of the Crimson Emperor Dragon God Jade and helping the Black Eclipse Dragon condense its own Dragon Jade. Finally, this energy will also flow to the Heavenly Sword Dragon God Jade.

　However, what the Black Eclipse Dragon was unaware of was that it was also releasing a pheromone while absorbing the ley lines. This pheromone acted like a call to the Elder Dragons, drawing them towards the Black Eclipse Dragon's location. At that moment, the closest dragon to Spirit Peak was the Storm Dragon. The Storm Dragon quickly received this pheromone, which also had a sweet scent. The Storm Dragon, who was sleeping on the Storm, became excited upon smelling this scent and began to move towards Spirit Peak with a slight sniff.

　Another Elder Dragon is the Peak Dragon, an Elder Dragon species located in Lokrak. It is currently roaming beneath the sand sea. As an Elder Dragon that lives in the desert, the Peak Dragon's abdominal folds are stretched open when it swallows a large amount of sand. The Peak Dragon's digestive organs filter the food, digesting small animals, plants, and other nutrients. The remaining sand and residue are expelled from the blowholes on its back with the help of its lungs.

　The way the Peak Dragon feeds requires it to traverse a sufficiently wide sea of ​​sand during its journey. Moreover, the Peak Dragon is almost constantly on a dragon-drawn carriage throughout the entire process. Therefore, every year or two, a Peak Dragon will inadvertently rush towards Lokrak while wandering around. However, due to the distance, when the pheromones emitted by the Black Eclipse Dragon reach the Peak Dragon, the pheromones are immediately cut off. The Peak Dragon then spews out a sandstorm and continues to forage in the sea of ​​sand.

　As for Mr. Elbarlien, who lived in that unknown volcano and the high-pressure deep seabed, the pheromones emitted by the Black Corruption Dragon dissipated before they even reached Mr. Elbarlien's divine realm, so Mr. Elbarlien was naturally unaware of the Black Corruption Dragon's existence.

　As Lanlong advanced towards Lingfeng, a storm was also approaching. The Thunder Wolf Dragons on Lingfeng immediately became restless. It was she who drove her clan off Lingfeng several years ago, and recently she was driven off Lingfeng again by that black guy. Although the culprit was not that black guy, it was still his fault. Jin Leigong stood at the highest point of the territory and howled, urging the clan to prepare as soon as possible.

　Inside Yukumo Village, the village chief, who was soaking in the hot spring, noticed the thick black clouds in the distance that looked like they were about to drip ink. At first glance, the village chief knew that it was the work of the Storm Dragon. Because of the Storm Dragon's unique ecological characteristics, wherever it passed, it would cause storms and rain, and even mudslides and other disasters, bringing great harm to the local people. The village chief immediately took a towel to dry himself off, put on a piece of clothing, and went straight to the Hunter's Gathering Hall.

　"Nazere, Mattia, the Storm Dragon has arrived."

　Nazel, who was drinking, immediately shuddered, put down his glass, and ran outside. Just as the village chief of Jieyun Village had said, a huge black cloud was drifting in from the southwest. Nazel's eyes immediately turned serious; the arrival of the Storm Dragon was not a good sign.

　"Village chief, let me investigate."

　“Brother, I’m going too.” Nazar was about to stop Matilia from going with him, but seeing the determination in Matilia’s eyes, Nazar couldn’t bear to refuse. After the village chief repeatedly told the two to be careful, Nazar and Matilia equipped themselves with weapons and left the village.

　Before Lanlong could even reach Lingfeng, the Black Devouring Dragon had already completed a cycle. After letting out a satisfied roar, the Black Devouring Dragon transformed back into its young form. Now it was Lanlong's turn to be dumbfounded. Lanlong, wielding its transparent flying membrane, was almost at Lingfeng when the scent suddenly vanished. Lanlong froze on the spot. Suddenly, Lanlong remembered that after the little black creature transformed, the scent of the ancient dragon on its body would become very faint. Lanlong immediately grasped the core of the problem. After transforming into a streak of light and falling to the ground, Lanlong, dressed in a pale pink cherry blossom kimono, made a grand entrance!

　When Lanmei arrived at the top of Lingfeng Mountain, she saw the little girl standing there dumbfounded.

　"Fat eel."

　"Ugh, I'm really getting angry. I'm Lan, not Fat Eel. I'll be really upset if you call me that again."

　Lanmei walked over to the little girl, pinched her chubby cheeks, and then smelled that particularly pleasant scent on her. "What's your name again?"

　The little girl looked at Lanmei's face, tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why she asked that question. Lanmei also tilted her head, not knowing why the little girl was doing that.

　"You are the storm, and I am the light."

　"Light, how did you obtain this power?"

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Rathalos: The King of the Skies is Hard to Be.

　(Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Blade Dragon and the Electric Dragon both came over to pay attention.)

　Electric Dragon: I wonder who it was that I shot down last time?

　Thousand Blade Dragon: I don't know whose cousin Azure Rathalos was, but I beat him to tears?

　(The raging fire dragon was about to fight the two dragons.)

　?: Too weak!

　(The three dragons were shocked as a figure came hurtling towards them from afar.)

　Sanlong: What did you say?!

　Tianhuilong

　Too weak!

　Volume 1: Chapter 202 - The Hammer of the Volcano

　"I do not know."

　The little girl looked at Lanmei with an "O_o" expression, not knowing what the fat eel was talking about. Lanmei gently pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks to express her dissatisfaction. These were the best-smooth cheeks she had ever touched. The little girl moved closer to Lanmei and gently sniffed her scent. Then, she reluctantly shook off Lanmei's hand. Ever since she had tasted Lanmei's scent, the little girl had lost interest in her. Instead, she took a bite out of Lanmei's clothes.

　Hmm~ It tastes like cucumber, but it's all water.

　Lanmei removed the little girl from her body with a look of disgust.

　From a human perspective, the battle between the Storm Dragon and the Black Eclipse Dragon seems like a deep-seated grudge, with the two dragons fighting until the sky darkens. However, for Elder Dragons, they come with various special effects: the wind of the Wind Dragon, the madness virus of the Black Eclipse Dragon, and the storm of the Storm Dragon. Generally speaking, most Elder Dragons do not kill their own kind, so the Storm Dragon initially thought that the Black Eclipse Dragon was just playing around with it, especially since the Black Eclipse Dragon was like a child who couldn't control its strength.

　However, the Black Eclipse Dragon truly regarded the Storm Dragon as prey, although it eventually lost interest.

　On the other side, not long after Nazel and Materia left the village, the dark clouds on the horizon completely dissipated. On the morning of the third day, the village chief of Jieyun Village, seeing the exhausted Nazel and Materia, hurriedly urged them to go to the hot springs to rest. At the same time, he prepared a meal for the two siblings in the meeting place. After the two had eaten, Nazel reported to the village chief of Jieyun Village what had happened on Lingfeng.

　"A few kilometers south of Lingfeng, a landslide and mudslide occurred. Judging from the rainfall and the activity of monsters near Lingfeng, it is exactly the same as the description of the arrival of the Storm Dragon in the Monster Encyclopedia. However, the storm has mysteriously disappeared, as if it never existed. This is not the work of the Storm Dragon. After leaving Lingfeng, we also went to explore the area where the Storm Dragon was shot down. The storm in that area has also disappeared."

　"Could it be that another ancient dragon has appeared? The Wind Dragon can also cause gales and torrential rain, but no one near Lingfeng has witnessed the appearance of the Wind Dragon. By the way, didn't you also see the Black Eclipse Dragon when you were shot down? Could it be that the two of them clashed again and went to another place?"

　"That's possible, village chief."

　“Yes, I understand. But Nazel, Materia, don’t think too much about it. Now that the storm has passed, don’t dwell on it. I’ll leave the investigation to Raymond. Enjoy the festival while it’s still going. By the way, Owen and the others seem to have woken up. Shall we go visit them?”

　Just as Nazel and Mattia were leaving the Hunter's Gathering Hall, the young girl and Lan Mei walked in. Nazel glanced at the two "dragon-people sisters" but didn't think much of it. A new quest had just been issued in the Gathering Hall. Two male Brute Dragons in the breeding season in the volcanic area were running and colliding with each other while fighting for mating rights. This competition had seriously disrupted the stability of the volcanic area, and several hunters who went there to mine were also injured and sent back.

　On the volcanic field north of Yukumo Village, a giant writh covered in a thick shell is rolling at high speed across the volcanic rocks in a curled-up circle. During the breeding season, wriths eat minerals completely different from usual. This is because male wriths tend to make their bodies more shiny during the breeding season, and the composition of the minerals affects the strength and appearance of the wriths. Therefore, during the breeding season, male wriths actively seek out shiny minerals as their main food to increase their attractiveness. In addition, male wriths also stick shiny gems on their bodies. The writh clan uses its shiny appearance and bejeweled decorations to attract females.

　The Megadragon was smashing the white egret stone on the ground with its jaws, then opening its mouth to swallow it. Just as the Megadragon was enjoying its meal, another Megadragon curled up in a circle and rolled over at high speed. The Megadragon that was eating immediately raised its jaws high, ready to smash the Megadragon that had disturbed its meal. Just before it was about to crash into the other Megadragon, it stretched out its body, jumped high into the air, and slammed its jaws down on the other Megadragon.

　The home turret, Ultron, twisted its body to dodge the charged slam, roared, and charged at the oncoming Ultron. The two massive Ultrons collided instantly. Kojiro, who was engrossed in mining nearby, also felt the impact. To craft his desired equipment and talismans, Kojiro had been traveling back and forth between the volcano and Yukumo Village recently. Today, Kojiro was about to gather all the materials, but the guild hall's signboard girl told him that the volcanic area was very dangerous recently. However, Kojiro, engrossed in mining, felt he could take the risk.

　Kojiro was being chased by two Ura-no-Magma Dragons. As he ran, he kept looking back to check the distance between himself and the Ura-no-Magma Dragons. Unfortunately, the Ura-no-Magma Dragons were very territorial. The two Ura-no-Magma Dragons rammed into each other while chasing Kojiro. Kojiro didn't even have time to drink his cold drink. He kept running forward, panting heavily. Just when Kojiro was at a loss, he suddenly noticed a fork in the road ahead. Kojiro quickly dodged into it.

　Once Kojiro entered, he realized it was a dead end. Looking at the Hammerdragon that had smashed through the rocks and entered, Kojiro felt his mouth go dry.

　Just as Kojiro was regretting not listening to the mascot's advice, a dragon roar came from the sky, "Roar~" A huge black shadow descended from the sky and crushed one of the Hammer Dragons under its body. Before the Hammer Dragon could even react, its thick shell had already been torn off by the Black Eclipse Dragon. The Hammer Dragon howled in pain and tried to struggle to get up from the ground, but the Black Eclipse Dragon spewed out the Mad Dragon Virus in a fan-shaped trajectory, causing a series of explosions.

　The wound torn open by the Black Eclipse Dragon widened further under the explosion of the Mad Dragon Virus. The Black Eclipse Dragon charged up its wing claws and slammed them forward. As soon as the wing claws landed, they triggered a series of Mad Dragon explosions in front of it. The Blast Dragon lying on the ground quickly fell silent. Just as another Blast Dragon was curled up head to tail and preparing to escape, the Black Eclipse Dragon pounced forward and slammed down with its wing claws. The Blast Dragon's hard shell was immediately dented.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon leaped over and bit the Thunderfury Dragon's throat, using its wing claws to lift the Thunderfury Dragon up before slamming it to the ground. It then spewed three curved balls of Mad Dragon Virus forward. However, the Thunderfury Dragon had a strong resistance to explosions and high temperatures, so the Black Eclipse Dragon had no choice but to raise its upper body, gather its strength, and then smash its wing claws forward. The Thunderfury Dragon's spine snapped in response, and the quest ended.

　Lanmei was watching the Black Devouring Dragon hunt. The volcanic environment made Lanmei feel a little uncomfortable. She resisted the urge to dispel her illusion and walked towards the Black Devouring Dragon in the black mist.

　P.S.: I've actually thought about this for a long time: how do Morphosaurus mate? I can't believe it! Like elephants or rhinos, they probably can't do it, and like dogs, they probably can't either~

　Thank you all for your support, love you all~

　PS2: Recommending a book: "Ark: Lungmen Investigator, Driven Mad by Players"

　Why is it that everyone else who transmigrates into a game becomes invincible... while I'm just an ordinary Lungmen investigator...?

　Jin, who had been working diligently at Longmen for two and a half years, felt extremely frustrated.

　Thankfully, a cheat code has arrived, but... this cheat code... something feels so off...

　Does higher popularity equate to greater strength?

　Jin stared at the player forum in her mind, lost in thought...

　Through a series of maneuvers, as her popularity gradually increased, Jin's strength also grew stronger.

　only...

　[Another day with Daddy Jin protecting me, I feel at ease.]

　[I'm crying. He's risking everything to save someone again! Can't you please find someone else to kill?!]

　[Investigator? Do you think Jin-jie might be drugged...?]

　[Upstairs, are you referring to those female investigators from the East?]

　"Must-Rob Characters in Fanfiction," "Jinmen," "The Only True God," "My Wife," "My Husband," "The Episode with the Most CGs," "The Defeated Female Investigator..."

　Looking at the player's erratic remarks, Jin became increasingly worried about her innocence.

　Volume 1: Chapter 203 - A New Journey

　Because it nests on the tar-saturated ground, the surface of the Blastdragon is covered in tar. However, the tar from the Blastdragon is a great paving material, but for Palico chefs, dealing with the tar is the most troublesome thing.

　The most distinctive feature of the Urobuchi is its enormous jaw. The delicious tender meat extracted from the Urobuchi can be made into a special dish called "Tough Meat." The selling point of this meat is its high nutritional value, but it is too tough. It is said that this tough meat can train a hunter's jaw. Because human aesthetics are different from those of the Urobuchi, its sales are not very high. However, for hunters, meat that is too tough to bite is nothing in the mouth of a young girl.

　The best quality meat comes from the breast and belly of the Explosive Dragon. It is firm, pink, and has snow-white fat stripes on the surface. The Palico chef slices the meat into thin slices, swirls some elven deer oil in a frying pan, and then places the thin slices into the pan. The meat quickly changes color under the high temperature, making a sizzling sound, and then the aroma bursts out. Finally, the Palico chef sprinkles the meat slices with seasonings from Yukumo Village, and then the little girl stuffs them into her mouth.

　As for the leg and tail meat of the Explosive Dragon, the Palico chef cut them into small pieces, fried them in elven deer oil until they changed color slightly, then removed them. Next, he added leeks and other spices and sautéed them until fragrant, then added frost tomatoes and simmered the broth until it thickened. Then he added the small pieces of leg and tail meat, poured in red wine and seasonings, added broth made from the bones of the Herbivorous Dragon and Explosive Dragon, and finally added vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and broccoli. He poured it into a large bowl, and of course, the last step was to pour a generous amount of cheese on top.

　The young girl used a wooden spoon to feed herself the stewed meat. The light red broth was thick and fragrant, the dragon meat melted in her mouth, and the vegetables were stewed until soft. The black tail behind the young girl swayed gently, indicating that she was in a good mood. Lanmei's taste was a bit lighter, so she chose a combination of green peppers and local mushrooms.

　On the other side, in Flamefire Village, at the Fortress Highlands.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon is hiding itself in the shadows

　Not far away, the Anjanath had just bitten off the neck of a giant boar king and was now happily tearing at its flesh. Taking advantage of the Anjanath's meal, the Black Eclipse seized the opportunity and pounced on it from the shadows. Before the Anjanath could react, it was knocked to the ground by the Black Eclipse, which slashed several wounds on its back and chest. The Anjanath struggled to its feet and opened its mouth to bite at the Black Eclipse's neck, but the Black Eclipse used its wing claws to leap to the side and dodge the Anjanath's attack.

　Anjanath roared and leaped high into the air using the power of its powerful hind legs, intending to smash into Blackdragon. Blackdragon seized the opportunity to raise its wing claws and forcefully slapped Anjanath's head. The impact was so great that Anjanath was stunned in place. Blackdragon then pressed forward and slapped down with its other wing claw, pinning Anjanath to the ground again. Then, it flapped its wing membranes and took a step back while spewing out a large ball of Mad Dragon Virus.

　As the Black Eclipse Dragon soared into the air, the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere exploded. The Anjanath let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground, struggling to get up. The Black Eclipse Dragon didn't give it a chance. It spun around and pounced, using its own weight to slam into the Anjanath's neck. Then it lowered its head and bit the Anjanath's neck. Its teeth clenched tightly, and the Anjanath gradually stopped breathing. The Black Eclipse Dragon grabbed the Anjanath from the ground, flapped its wings, and flew back to the fortress highlands.

　After consuming the Anjanath, the Black Eclipse Dragon has enough energy to sustain it until it molts. For the Black Eclipse Dragon, each molt is a test, and the success rate is extremely low. If the molt fails, the Black Eclipse Dragon will only face one fate: death. Therefore, the Black Eclipse Dragon must ensure that it has sufficient energy before molting. As long as the molt is successful, the concentration of the Mad Dragon Virus in the Black Eclipse Dragon's body will increase, which means that its own strength has been enhanced.

　If the final molting is successful, the Black Eclipse Dragon will transform into the Celestial Wyvern.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon on the fortress highlands was constantly writhing its body, its talons scratching the ground with all its might. The scales on its body made a crisp cracking sound as it arched its back. The scales on its back gradually broke off and fell to the ground. The Black Eclipse Dragon slowly raised its body, followed by the scales on its talons. As the scales broke, the new scales on its sides became sharper and formed spike-like structures at the ends.

　Next came the scales on its head and limbs. As more and more broken black scales accumulated on the ground, the Black Eclipse Dragon raised its head and roared. The scales on its tail fell off in response, and the airflow from the roar sent the scale dust flying. The Black Eclipse Dragon had finally completed its molt. After molting, the Black Eclipse Dragon was stronger and larger than before. Feeling the power within its body, the Black Eclipse Dragon couldn't help but jump for joy.

　Although the Black Eclipse Dragon still couldn't see the scenery before it after this molt, it knew it had taken another big step forward, getting closer to truly seeing the world. Moreover, after this molt, the Black Eclipse Dragon knew it was time to set off for the distant Sky Mountain, for the distant forbidden land.

　The reason Black Eclipse Dragon planned to set off early was because it knew its sister's size and strength. Black Eclipse Dragon knew it had no chance of winning, but it didn't think it would lose. As long as it arrived at Sky Mountain a step ahead, what did it matter if that dragon was stronger than it? As long as it entered the final molting stage a step ahead, all the other dragons would fall to its light, and it could finally defeat its mother.

　After its physical condition stabilized, the Black Eclipse Dragon suddenly felt a surge of hunger. The recent molting had consumed most of its energy. The Black Eclipse Dragon spread its talons and flew southeast. The Mudfish Dragon was lying in the swamp, preparing to hunt the herbivorous dragons. The Mudfish Dragon had a strong sense of territory. Although it could tolerate the Biting Fish living in the same area, it would launch a fierce attack on outsiders who intruded into its territory, which most of the time were Barroth and hunters.

　The Mudfish Dragon tensed its tail fin muscles, preparing to leap out of the swamp and use its massive size and sharp teeth to attack the herbivorous dragon. However, to its surprise, it was immediately pinned back by the Black Devourer Dragon. The Mudfish Dragon tried to retaliate, but the molted Black Devourer Dragon was no longer the same as before. It leaped to the side and used a powerful lunge to knock the Mudfish Dragon away. Then, it charged up with its wing claws and pounced. After the Mudfish Dragon beneath it had completely stopped moving, the Black Devourer Dragon bit into the Mudfish Dragon's skin, raised its head and tore it off, swallowing the tender white fish inside. Hmm, dragon meat.

　In Yuyun Village, a young girl was floating on the surface of the hot spring, blowing bubbles. Lanmei raised her arm and gently stroked the warm, snow-white skin, then slid it down to her abdomen, and finally landed on her shapely calves. The scars left by the young girl on Lanmei had disappeared. Lanmei unconsciously raised her head, and her emerald green pupils met the young girl's crimson gold pupils.

　It's time to go.

　Volume 1: Chapter 204 - The Decision to Go to Sinard Village

　Xinard Village, located at the foot of Sky Mountain, is situated at a very high altitude, making it a challenging place for hunters.

　It is a place that can only be reached by wind, and because the village is located on a high mountain, it is always windy, hence the name "Wind Village". The dragon people living here can be said to feel the wind all the time.

　Just as the villagers of Yuyun Village like to decorate their village with red, windmills of various sizes are placed all over Xinard Village. For the villagers, windmills also represent important places, whether it is a general store, a weapon shop or other daily necessities, or an alchemy workshop deep in the village. These are all very important places to Xinard Village. You can also see decorative windmills here. According to the local elders, this is actually a custom of Xinard Village. They believe that placing windmills in important places can ward off evil spirits. Although children may think they are just playing around.

　Because of its remote location, Xinard Village is rarely visited, with only a handful of visitors throughout the year. After all, it's a place that even caravan members have to reach by airship. The dragon people living there lead a peaceful and contented life, without deliberately hiding their presence. As for the village's facilities, they seem more like places built to pass the time than practical ones. Life there is largely self-sufficient, and bartering is more common than trading with money.
