The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　The dragon people living in Xinard Village, the highest-altitude village in the Four Seasons Kingdom, have a secret: they have been guarding a land called "Forbidden Land" for generations, and the story is about to begin here.

　Meanwhile, in Barbare, the newly recruited hunters Cooper and Kemp were organizing their equipment. Barbare is a mobile city in the desert. As a thriving commercial area, Barbare attracts many merchants and hunters, so the Hunter's Guild has set up a meeting place here. The reason Cooper and Kemp were organizing their equipment was because, according to the description of the scout hunters, a Spirit Mountain Dragon was migrating in the desert. Although the Spirit Mountain Dragon was not hostile, its migration route happened to pass through Barbare. So, at the invitation of a hunter, Cooper and Kemp joined the operation and used the dragon-slaying ship to force the Spirit Mountain Dragon to change course.

　After packing up, Cooper and Kemp boarded the dragon-slaying ship to relieve the exhausted hunters. Looking at the enormous Lingshan dragon, which was even larger than the ship itself, Cooper and Kemp felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. However, these reactions did not mean that the two were afraid, but rather that the hunter's blood in Cooper and Kemp's veins was boiling.

　"It's time to let it taste the hunters' cannonballs, lads."

　Upon hearing the hunter's instructions, Cooper and Kemp immediately located the cannonballs on the dragon-slaying ship. While carefully watching for the Spirit Mountain Dragon's impacts, they cautiously moved the cannonballs, loaded them into the cannons, and then pulled the fuse. The dragon-slaying cannons on one side of the dragon-slaying ship simultaneously unleashed destructive flames. The compressed, ultra-high-temperature fireballs traced bright trajectories in the sandstorm, directly striking the Spirit Mountain Dragon in the back. After a deafening explosion, the Spirit Mountain Dragon let out a low roar and burrowed underground.

　"It's about to launch a fierce attack, lads, come to my side."

　Cooper and Kemp immediately ran in the direction the hunter pointed, gripping the mast tightly. The Spirit Mountain Dragon gradually emerged from the sea of ​​sand, swaying its body as it crashed into the Dragon Slayer Ship. Under the enormous impact, Cooper felt as if his body were a leaf in a gale, about to be blown away at any moment. Kemp also clung tightly to the mast. After the Spirit Mountain Dragon left the Dragon Slayer Ship, Kemp and Cooper reloaded the Dragon Slayer Cannon. The gale, carrying sand, lashed at Cooper and Kemp's faces. The two endured the sandstorm while quickly changing the cannonballs. On the Dragon Slayer Ship, the two boys deeply felt their own insignificance, but they did not stop their work.

　Suddenly, the hunter noticed something and immediately ordered Cooper and Kemp to move all the cannonballs over. The hunter quickly tied all the cannonballs together with iron rings and hooks, then took out small explosive barrels from his backpack and tied them to them. He then asked Cooper and Kemp to hang the cannonballs on the mast, while the hunter maneuvered the dragon-slaying ship towards the Spirit Mountain Dragon.

　After attaching the cannonballs, Cooper and Kemp immediately left the deck, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire. The Ling Shan Dragon noticed the change and swayed, ramming into the dragon-slaying ship again. With the impact, the mast swayed, throwing the cannonballs attached to it at the dragon. The cannonballs drew a sharp arc in the air, but judging from the situation, Cooper and Kemp believed that the cannonballs would definitely destroy the ship. Just then...

　"Well done, lads. We're almost at Barbare. The Spirit Mountain Dragon is afraid of loud noises. After the explosion, you guys start banging the gongs like crazy."

　The hunter emerged from the captain's cabin, holding a light crossbow. With two sharp clangs, the crossbow fired a bullet that struck a small explosive barrel. Immediately afterward, the small explosive barrel hanging on the iron ring exploded, sending the cannonball flying towards the Spirit Mountain Dragon. The small explosive barrel next to the cannonball happened to detonate the cannonball.

　A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, sending up countless clouds of sand and gravel. Cooper and Kemp immediately banged on the gong, and when the dust settled, an unbelievably enormous dragon head appeared before them. Not only Cooper, but Kemp could only tremble. The Spirit Mountain Dragon opened its gigantic maw and emerged from above the dragon-slaying ship.

　It leaped over, let out a roar, and then plunged back into the sea of ​​sand.

　For Cooper, although everything had just happened very quickly, it felt like it had lasted longer than his entire life. It wasn't until the hunter patted him on the shoulder that Cooper realized his eyes were filled with tears.

　Barbare was bustling with activity that night. The hunter brought three glasses of Dahlia beer to Cooper and Camp, handing one to each of them. After the three clinked glasses, they drank the beer in one gulp. The hunter then forked a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and asked, "Where are you planning to go next?"

　“Naguri Village, or Jiangbo Village, I heard from hunters of my generation that Jieyun Village is good.”

　Kemp hurriedly swallowed the fried rice in his mouth. After the hunt, he found the fried rice with a thick layer of cheese to be especially delicious. "How about East Dorma? I heard it's the largest city on the continent, with a large population and lots of missions."

　The hunter listened to the two talking with a smile, then suddenly thought of something, took off his crimson hat, and took out a pure white dragon scale. The dragon scale immediately attracted Cooper and Kemp's attention.

　“This is a dragon scale that I obtained by chance. It is said to be a specialty of Xinard Village. Would you like to go to Xinard Village to take a look?”

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Mambo~ Mambo~ Oh Mazli Mambo~

　Oh, speaking of which, a member of the Monster Hunter group gave me an idea: the reproductive method of the Uragaan might be similar to that of scorpions?

　Volume 1: Chapter 205 - The Shadow in the Storm

　No hunter could resist the curiosity about this pure white dragon scale, because that's how he was lured into the hunting party. And just as he expected, Cooper and Kemp accepted the pure white dragon scale, thus granting his request.

　The two left Barbare by boat, following the only river past Naguli Village and arriving at Moga Village. Most of the villagers in Moga Village are fish-men who live by the sea, also known as sea people. The biggest difference between sea people and humans, besides their culture, is that they have fins on their hands. The fins of sea people are similar to the fleshy membranes of frogs, located from the base of the fingers to the second joint. When the fins are spread out, they are translucent, so most people can hardly see them.

　Moga Village has a history of hundreds of years. Although it has suffered many natural disasters, it has developed rapidly. The most famous thing about Moga Village is the banquet known as the "Great Fishing Feast". However, Cooper and Camp arrived in Moga Village just in time to miss the Great Fishing Feast. The merchant ship they were on would rest in Moga Village for a day. The caravan would buy some items and materials that the villages along the way would need. The final destination of this merchant ship was the village of Sinard.

　The village chief of Moga Village is a robust seaman. His family crest is a pattern composed of a fishing hook and an anchor. While training his son, who will become the next village chief, the village chief enjoys a secluded life. In addition, he is also a fishing expert. In his secluded life, he likes to teach his fishing skills to the children in the village. The village chief's son, as the actual person in charge of the village, is currently being taught various kinds of knowledge by the farm owner. When the merchant ship arrived, the village chief's son greeted the farm owner and then went aboard the merchant ship to buy some practical books.

　As noon approached, Cooper and Camp didn't stay on the merchant ship for lunch. Instead, they went to the hunters' meeting place in Moga village to try some local specialties. After some deliberation, Cooper chose a combination of roast chicken and lobster soup, while Camp opted for a combination of cheese seafood baked rice and grilled skewers. They also ordered unlimited beer at the counter before finding a place to sit down.

　Meanwhile, Lanmei and the young girl entered the Hunter's Gathering Hall. Moga Village was one of the two dragons' resting places, but the reason for their resting place was more because of the young girl. When the two dragons flew to Moga Village, the Black Devouring Dragon dove into the sea and grabbed a water beast to fill its stomach. Lanlong thought for a moment and also floated on the sea to eat something. After flicking its tail and slapping the water, it created a waterspout. While replacing the water in its breath cells, it also swept the stunned group of large sashimi fish into the air. The Black Devouring Dragon flew up and swallowed dozens of large sashimi fish in one gulp, chewing them with a smacking sound.

　Not far away, a white sea dragon sensed the ripples in the water and swam towards the black eclipse dragon. In the water, sea dragons are particularly fast and agile, and possess extremely strong explosive power. The violent water currents created when a sea dragon swims can greatly hinder the movement of its prey. Moreover, the electric shell on the sea dragon's back can also help it hunt. When the sea dragon gets close to its prey, it can release lightning and combine it with the conductivity of water to launch a wide-range lightning attack.

　The White Seadragon, a subspecies of the seadragon, is physically very similar to the original seadragon, possessing a white and light blue quartz carapace. Compared to the original seadragon, the White Seadragon exhibits greater mobility and ferocity. Some scholars, after testing, have deduced that the White Seadragon's electric discharge ability is even stronger than that of the supercharged Zinogre. Compared to the "land-dwelling" original seadragon, it is more capable on land...

　With its enhanced mobility on land, Bai Hailong is truly the "overlord of both realms".

　With a splash, the White Seadragon swung its tail and lunged at the Black Eclipse Dragon's neck, its hind legs treading the water. The Black Eclipse Dragon, still chewing on a large sashimi fish, was startled when the White Seadragon bit it. It then reacted, immediately extending its wing claws to grab the White Seadragon's body. Seeing this, the White Seadragon bit down hard on the Black Eclipse Dragon's neck, trying to drag it to the seabed. At the same time, its back shell immediately released a powerful electric current, attempting to force the Black Eclipse Dragon to let go, but these were useless against the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　Compared to Yuukoku Village, the Palico chefs in Moga Village are skilled in four cooking methods: frying, boiling, stir-frying, and steaming.

　After removing the white sea dragon's shell, the tail, a delicacy in Moga Village, was prepared. The Elune chef removed the shell, cut the tail meat along the bone, and then sliced ​​it into slightly thicker pieces. He then sautéed scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, added the white sea dragon tail meat, and stir-fried it quickly. Once the meat changed color, he immediately added bright red chili peppers. The spicy stir-fried white sea dragon tail meat was soon ready. The bright red chili peppers and tender white sea dragon tail meat made for a very appetizing dish, and since the young girl wasn't afraid of spicy food, the bowl of meat was quickly emptied.

　The white sea dragon's breast and leg meat were thrown into a huge copper pot by the Palico chef, along with a giant lobster, snow deer meat, bobo meat, and a giant snail. Under the head chef's instructions, several Palico assistants poured a little seasoning into the pot every now and then. According to the head chef, this was called the compound seasoning method.

　Soon, a rich aroma wafted out. The little girl, with a look of utter delight, took the full bowl of white sea lobster meat soup. The delicious taste immediately won over her taste buds. Unlike ordinary meat soup, this white sea lobster meat soup had a multi-layered flavor. For the little girl, every bite was a new sensation. The tender white sea lobster meat went down her throat and into her stomach, bringing a warm and comforting feeling.

　The White Sea Dragon's ribs were cut into small pieces by the Palico chef, seasoned with pepper, salt and special sauce, coated with a thick layer of Maruko egg wash and King breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried until they changed color. After being drained of excess oil, they were deep-fried again. The unique aroma of deep-frying, the smell of the special sauce, and the perfect amount of greasiness made the little girl unable to stop, constantly putting the ribs into her mouth with both hands.

　Soon it was time for the merchant ship to set sail. After setting sail, the merchant ship would pass through Jiangbo Village and Qike Village, and finally enter Xiqi Kingdom, stopping at the foot of Sky Mountain, which is Xinade Village. Soon the merchant ship arrived at Jiangbo Village. The merchant ship did not stay in Jiangbo Village for long. After the merchants exchanged goods and completed the purchase and sale tasks, the merchant ship set sail immediately.

　Just as the merchant ship was sailing out of the strait to continue its journey, an unexpected event occurred.

　The clear blue sky instantly turned into a dense cloud cover, with flashes of lightning appearing intermittently within the clouds. A strong wind then swept across the sea. The captain of the merchant ship immediately took out a loudspeaker and urged the passengers to secure themselves to prevent being thrown overboard by the surging waves. At the same time, he instructed the crew to organize the cargo on deck and help the passengers return to their cabins. Just then, a passenger pointed frantically into the distance. The crew looked up and saw a huge, dark shadow rapidly approaching the merchant ship.

　Volume 1: Chapter 206 - The Impressive Black Eclipse Dragon

　Hearing the crew's shouts, the captain immediately pulled out a telescope and looked at the dark figure on the sea. In the fine rain, the figure was somewhat blurry. The captain hurriedly wiped the rain off the lens, quickly adjusted the focus, and searched for the dark figure on the sea. The captain kept adjusting the telescope and soon caught sight of the black monster that was passing by quickly. Through the lens, he could see a huge monster wearing a black cloak cutting through the sea and rushing towards the merchant ship.

　The captain immediately shouted, "Get down, everyone get down!" As soon as he finished speaking, the huge black monster flew over the captain's head. The captain hurriedly crouched down. The wind and rain hit the captain's face. The black monster flew over the captain's head, then spread its wings and spun upwards.

　"Everyone hide in the cabin. Are there any hunters in the group? There are dragon guns at the bow and resistance bullets on the aft deck. You can fire them by loading them into the pressure-sensitive resistance guns on both sides of the hull."

　"I'll go get the resistance bullet."

　"I'll go to the bow and take charge of the dragon-slaying spear."

　The captain watched Cooper and Kemp emerge from the crowd and nodded with satisfaction. "We must break this stalemate no matter what. First, we need to weaken the monster's stamina. The guy in charge of the dragon-slaying spear, listen to my instructions. The other one, go get the ammunition."

　A fierce wind raged across the sea, and the crew endured the dizziness caused by the ship's rocking motion as they quickly cleared the deck. Cooper took the lead.

　Go get the pressure-sensitive resistor bullets, while the captain at the rear observes the figure of the black monster and prepares the cannons. Just as the captain turns around to see if Cooper has brought the pressure-sensitive resistor bullets, the black monster circles over the merchant ship and then pounces straight at the captain.

　The black monster landed heavily on the deck, causing the ship to tilt to one side. The captain quickly crouched down to steady himself. The black monster raised its head and let out a high-pitched roar that shook the air. The captain covered his ears tightly with his hands and struggled to sit on the ground. This roar, with its volume and imposing force, robbed the hunter of his freedom. Nevertheless, after regaining as much freedom as possible, the captain began to run quickly. At the same time, Cooper arrived on the foredeck with pressure-sensitive grenades.

　The front of a monster's body is the most dangerous area; this is basic common sense, regardless of what kind of monster it is.

　The black monster suddenly attacked the captain, extending its wing claws to strike him. Cooper immediately drew the Wyvern Blade [Crimson] from his back and slashed at the black monster's wing claws. The katana collided with the black monster's wing claws, producing a loud, crisp sound. To Cooper's surprise, the black monster blocked Cooper's katana with its other wing claw. Seeing the monster's wing claws already pouncing towards him, the captain rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the Black Devourer's attack.

　Nevertheless, the captain still suffered three cuts on his back from the black monster. Seeing this, Cooper couldn't help but think that if he had been hit directly by the claws, it wouldn't be surprising if he had suffered very serious injuries.

　Cooper then changed his position and used the Kesa Slash to slash at the black monster's wing claws. Although the black monster's body was very large, its movements were unexpectedly light. The black monster used its wing claws to support itself on the ground and turned its body to avoid Cooper's Kesa Slash. Then, it launched an attack on Cooper from the side, accompanied by a gust of black wind.

　At the same time, a woman dressed in a green receptionist uniform emerged from the cabin and shouted, "Hunter, those black things are its scales, which is the Mad Dragon Virus. This monster is called the Black Devourer Dragon. It emits a black scale from its mouth and wings. Once infected, the virus will continue to spread in the hunter's body over time and with the damage inflicted. It is very dangerous. Once infected, the only way to overcome it is through willpower and the use of the Elixir Fruit, and by constantly attacking."

　Cooper stared intently at the Black Devouring Dragon before him, brandishing the Flying Dragon Blade [Crimson] that he had already gripped in his hand. He had never heard of this monster before, let alone actually seen it. Rain mixed with sweat made it difficult for Cooper to see the Black Devouring Dragon clearly. Cooper could barely make out the direction of the Black Devouring Dragon's forward bite, and he slashed down with his longsword. The Black Devouring Dragon showed no fear and charged at Cooper. Cooper felt as if he had been hit by a carriage and was sent flying.

　Although he was knocked away, Cooper saw clearly that it was the tail of the Black Eclipse Dragon as he fell. The black, thick tail with thorns lashed at Cooper like an enlarged version of thorns. However, Cooper still took out the nutrient solution and the ecstasy fruit and ate them.

　Taking advantage of Cooper's distraction of the Black Dragon, the captain immediately loaded the pressure-sensitive resistor bullet into the pressure-sensitive resistor gun. Cooper swung the Flying Dragon Blade [Crimson] at the Black Dragon. Fearing the Black Dragon would notice the captain's actions, Cooper's forward slash missed, but the blade of the Flying Dragon Blade [Crimson] quickly reversed direction and then slashed upwards. This series of attacks launched by Cooper did not catch the Black Dragon.

　The opportunity to launch a counterattack was presented, but at that moment the Black Eclipse Dragon suddenly recoiled and leaped high into the air with its hind legs to dodge Cooper's attack.

　Meanwhile, the captain had already loaded the pressure-sensitive resistor gun. As the trigger was pulled, the bullet struck the Black Eclipse Dragon's head. To the captain and the hunter's surprise, the Black Eclipse Dragon only shook its body before spitting out a ball of Mad Dragon Virus at the two of them.

　Cooper quickly rolled away to dodge the Mad Dragon Virus Ball on the ground, and the captain ran to another varistor gun and pulled the trigger to shoot at the Black Corruption Dragon. The Black Corruption Dragon flew in the air, dodging the varistor gun's fire. "Hunter."

　The captain roared, and after reminding Cooper, Cooper and the captain immediately exchanged glances. Before the pressure-sensitive grenades ran out, the Black Dragon flew to the bow to prepare to attack from a different direction. At this moment, the captain immediately blew a loud whistle, and Kemp, who was guarding the Dragon Piercer, immediately received the captain's instruction, pulled the lever, and the sharp Dragon Piercer immediately spun and pierced the Black Dragon's abdomen.

　After being pierced by the Dragonslayer Spear, the Black Eclipse Dragon immediately fell into the sea. It let out a wail and struggled to flap its wings and claws, creating a large wave as it flew out of the seawater. Then, it flapped its wing membranes and left the merchant ship.

　The captain, Cooper, and Camp initially found it hard to believe that they had repelled the Black Devourer. After waiting a while and confirming that the Black Devourer had not returned, Cooper and Camp excitedly rammed into it. This was much more exciting than what happened in Barbare. Calling it a subjugation of the Spirit Mountain Dragon was actually just forcing it to change course.

　But this time, the Black Eclipse Dragon was truly forced back. For a newly debuted hunter, achieving this was already quite remarkable. The captain wiped the seawater from his face and shook hands with Cooper and Camp. Cooper and Camp's hands were already soaked with sweat and rain, but their slightly trembling hands showed that the two hunters were not as visibly distressed as they appeared.

　His face remained so calm.

　Volume 1: Chapter 207 - History Repeats Itself

　Kiko Village, located in the southwest of Xiqi Kingdom, is a small village inhabited only by the Dragonman village chief and Palicoes. Surrounded by a crystal-clear ocean, Kiko Village is also adjacent to a lush primeval forest. Because there is no land route or regular flights to the village, the Palicoes leisurely conduct business with merchants and hunters who have gotten lost. Sometimes, shipwrecked ships and luggage also drift here.

　The most amazing thing is that only the village chief is a dragon. According to the village chief, cats often come here after being washed ashore by the waves. She herself was washed ashore in a shipwreck. As a result, this place has gradually become a gathering place for Palicoes. Next to Kiko Village is a small island called Warm Island. You can often receive requests from Palicoes here. Moreover, Palicoes accompany you in all kinds of places on the island. For people who love Palicoes, this island is simply paradise.

　Qike Village is the second place where the young girl and Lanmei stay.

　To ordinary humans or dragon people, the young girl's daily routine seemed quite regular, eating at sunrise and resting at sunset. In reality, the young girl's life was indeed quite regular, not in terms of time, but in terms of behavior. The young girl's day revolved around three things: eating, sleeping, and playing. Eating, sleeping, and playing were the most important things for the young girl. And the young girl's play was also very varied, including diving and fishing in the sea, practicing ambushes in the forest, and wielding that silver-white giant sword to plow the land.

　In the early morning, the little girl, who had been curled up in a ball, slowly opened her eyes. Her confused and empty reddish-gold pupils gradually regained their luster. The little girl stretched her body and sat up from the bed. Suddenly, the little girl's small hand touched something soft.

　The little girl looked at Lan Mei sleeping next to her with an O_o expression, then lowered her head and bit Lan Mei's golden dragon horn. A crunching sound rang out. Lan Mei, who was awakened by the noise, opened her eyes groggily and saw the little girl grinding her teeth with her horn. Lan Mei, who had just gotten up, was already a little "low blood pressure", but when she saw that her horn was covered with saliva, her blood pressure immediately skyrocketed.

　However, for Lanmei, the feeling of holding the baby girl to sleep was still very comfortable. The baby girl always slept very well. Her soft, chubby body curled up into a ball, making her a very good choice as a pillow. Moreover, the baby girl did not have any strange smell, which was good news for Lanmei, who was a clean freak. After all, for most carnivorous monsters, the smell of prey's blood, dead leaves, dirt, and all sorts of messy things stuck to their bodies would naturally not be very pleasant.

　Qike Village is adjacent to a primeval forest, where many monsters live, such as the Constrictor Serpent. As the first large monster bred by the Serpent Dragon, the Constrictor Serpent in its juvenile stage has a body length of over 20 meters, while the adult Constrictor Serpent reaches a length of 40 meters.

　Although its name is Constrictor Hydra, a closer look reveals that it has short limbs on both sides of its body. However, the Constrictor Hydra's forelimbs and hindlimbs are far apart, making it difficult to crawl. Therefore, the Constrictor Hydra mainly moved in a serpentine manner with its belly close to the ground.

　When hunting, the constrictor serpent scorpion buries itself in grass or fallen leaves. Upon approaching its prey, it swiftly wraps its slender body around it, leaving it nowhere to escape, and then uses its powerful strength to strangle the prey to death. Of course, the constrictor serpent scorpion's bird-like beak-like mouth also contains venomous fangs that can secrete paralyzing neurotoxins, allowing it to inject toxins while biting its enemies to paralyze them. In addition, the constrictor serpent scorpion has an organ called a croaking armor at its tail, which can emit a high-decibel noise to disturb enemies. Besides emitting noise, the croaking armor can also be swung at enemies to shoot them, causing considerable damage.

　A group of Armored Dragons walked through the dense forest. The Snake Dragon, which had been lying in ambush, burrowed underground and suddenly launched an attack from the blind spot beneath the Armored Dragons. The Armored Dragons, injected with poison, immediately collapsed to the ground. Just as the Snake Dragon was about to swallow the Armored Dragon, the Black Eclipse Dragon pounced on the Snake Dragon from under the shadow of the tree.

　The Constrictor Serpent was startled by the Black Eclipse Dragon and immediately coiled its slender body around it, tightening its muscles in an attempt to strangle it. However, the Black Eclipse Dragon was also very strong, and its wing claws had already firmly gripped the Constrictor Serpent as it attacked.

　The snake blocked the constrictor dragon's body to prevent it from tightening its own. Seeing that it could not win in terms of strength, the constrictor dragon opened its big mouth and bit the black erosion dragon.

　However, the venomous fangs of the Constrictor Dragon were not enough to pierce the scales of the Black Eclipse Dragon, so white venom dripped from the tips of the Constrictor Dragon's fangs onto the ground. Although the Constrictor Dragon's body was wrapped around the Black Eclipse Dragon, the Black Eclipse Dragon held onto the Constrictor Dragon's body, and after charging its wing claws, it lifted the Constrictor Dragon and slammed it against the rock wall beside it. Although the armor covering the Constrictor Dragon's body was hard, it was still an organ of the Constrictor Dragon. Under the Black Eclipse Dragon's attack, the Constrictor Dragon gradually became tired, and the defensive power of the armor also weakened. At the same time, the Constrictor Dragon lost its balance due to its injuries.

　The weak points of the Constrictor Serpent were its head and hind legs. Under the fierce blows of the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws, the Constrictor Serpent quickly lost its breath.

　The meat of the snake dragon tastes like chicken, but it is smoother and more tender. So the Palico chef cuts the snake dragon meat into pieces and puts it in a pot to cook with snake eel and giant horned snail. Finally, he adds spiced celery and moon mushrooms to simmer. A delicious and nutritious "nourishing snake soup" is ready. The chewy snake dragon meat and fish meat make the combination even more delicious, and the addition of giant horned snails makes the snake soup even more flavorful.

　The remaining snake meat was made into salt and pepper snake steaks and stir-fried snake shreds. Soon, a forty-meter-long snake dragon disappeared into the stomachs of Lanmei and the young girl.

　Meanwhile, the merchant ship, having weathered the crisis, was sailing on the high seas, and Cooper and Kemp were consulting the signboard girl in green about the Black Dragon.

　"The monster we encountered at sea yesterday was called the Black Devourer Dragon, a juvenile of the Elder Dragon species, the Sky Returner Dragon. Juveniles have no eyes and therefore no vision, relying entirely on their scales to perceive the outside world. Several years ago, a disaster occurred in Sky Mountain caused by the erosion of the mountain by a fierce wind. A fierce wind descended from the top of Sky Mountain, causing a major ecological collapse in the area."

　"Dragon Virus and Dragon Disease".

　"Yes, but thanks to the guild hunters, the guild leader encountered the Black Eclipse Dragon while searching for a white dragon scale. In Naguli Village, the Black Eclipse Dragon's tracks were discovered, and the elite hunters took on the mission to investigate. However, they were defeated by the Black Eclipse Dragon along the way, the captain was injured, the gunner stayed in the Tree Sea to protect the captain, and the newcomer and the crossbowman escaped back to report. The guild hunters rescued them, and finally, after obtaining the consent of the High Priest of Xinard Village, the guild hunters resolutely stepped into the forbidden area and successfully defeated the Heavenly Return Dragon."

　"White dragon scales, is this it?" Cooper said, taking out the dragon scales he had received in Barbare from his pocket.

　"Hmm, it looks like... hmm, the scales of a Celestial Dragon!"

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: According to research, a person is only born once in their lifetime~ Hehe

　Thank you everyone for your support! Love you all! Please vote for me!

　Volume One: 208 - Poems of the Village of Sinard

　As a child born in the village of Sinard, the woman in the green host uniform knew very well what the appearance of the Black Erosion Dragon meant—it meant that the Mountain Erosion Incident was about to be repeated. At this moment, she saw the scales of the Heavenly Returning Dragon. Whether this was a coincidence or someone was orchestrating all of this, the female host had no idea.

　The three sat on the deck and each ordered a cat meal. The Palico chef accompanying the merchant ship was said to be a partner recruited by the captain from the village of Sinard, and his cooking skills were superb, as could be seen from Cooper's already empty plate.

　"I see. You participated in the [Spirit Mountain Dragon Harvest Festival] in Barbare, and after being recommended by a senior hunter, you accepted this white scale and then planned to go to Sinard Village."

　With a skewer of meat in his mouth, Kemp mumbled, "Well, that uncle was quite kind. He said that Sinard Village is a very beautiful and leisurely village, so we accepted his suggestion and decided to go to Sinard Village."

　“Sinard Village is indeed a beautiful place, but the ship’s destination is Leisa Village in Xiqi Kingdom, not Sinard Village. After trading goods in Leisa Village, the ship will return to Naguli Village.”

　Upon hearing the green-clad receptionist's words, Cooper and Kemp stared at her wide-eyed. "But this ship clearly stated that it could go to Xinard Village, and we even asked beforehand." The woman in the green receptionist's uniform smiled at their dumbfounded expressions and said, "Xinard Village and Resa Village are both located in Xiqi Kingdom. Xiqi Kingdom is the legendary country entirely composed of the Dragon People, and is also known as the origin of the Dragon People. Resa Village is the port city of Xiqi Kingdom, while Xinard Village is the highest village in Xiqi Kingdom, also known as the village living above the clouds. The two villages are not far apart, so it is not wrong to take this merchant ship to Xinard Village."

　Cooper and Camp then realized their mistake. Seeing their somewhat disappointed looks, the receptionist comforted them, saying, "It's not exactly the captain's fault. Xiqi Kingdom is relatively small, so the destination is Xiqi Kingdom and..."

　The destination, Xinate Village, isn't significantly different, but to reach Xinate Village, one must take an airship, as Xinate Village is located in a rather difficult-to-reach place.

　"Is that so? Thank you for reminding me. By the way, judging from your appearance, you seem to know Xinard Village very well. Are you also going to Xinard Village?"

　Upon hearing about Cooper and Camp's culture, the receptionist happily touched her nose, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Hehe, I am the next mascot of the Hunter's Guild in Xinard Village. I am going to Barbare to participate in the Hunter's Guild's assessment. By the way, it is fate that we meet. After arriving in Xiqi Kingdom, let me take you to Xinard Village."

　"Oh! Thank you!"

　Soon, the merchant ship arrived at Resa Village. To express his gratitude, the captain promised that Cooper and Camp would be able to sail for free for life. After leaving Resa Village, the female receptionist led the two onto an airship to Sinard Village. Upon arrival in Sinard Village, Cooper and Camp went to the local hunters' meeting place to register, while the female receptionist immediately went to the meeting place office to tell the village chief of Sinard Village about the merchant ship being attacked by the Black Devourer and the Sky Returner scales.

　On the way, Cooper and Camp heard a poem.

　If darkness awakens in the eyes, then light is born there;

　If new shoots sprout from the earth, darkness will also be born.

　Transforming into light to illuminate everything, countless shadows descend upon the earth;

　When the light returns, new darkness will also be born;
