The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Darkness will eventually disappear from the earth, awaiting the breath of new life;

　Light and shadow, together they embark on the cycle of reincarnation;

　Light and shadow, in this world, go through cycles;

　It has become a unique poem that circulates throughout the world;

　When that sky returns to its original state in the cycle of life;

　That same moment is also the time of reincarnation;

　When the soul shines in those eyes, new life will be born somewhere.

　When the reflection of the soul appears in the pupils, new thoughts will also be born there;

　When all things are sublimated into a soul, countless thoughts become power;

　When a life withers and returns to the soul, some people make new hopes for it.

　Memories that have not faded away, in the form of a soul, await the breath of new life;

　May the mind and life be reborn together, and may life and mind circulate in the mortal world;

　It was transformed into songs and sung by people all over the world;

　Be reborn by walking side by side;

　To be reborn through harmonious singing;

　The only things that coexist in life are the soul and memories.

　When Cooper and Camp asked about the meaning of the poem, the dragonman who sang it simply said that it was an ancient legend from the village of Sindal.

　Inside the Hunter's Guild Hall, after listening to the female receptionist Leonard's account, the village chief's expression immediately turned serious. He knew very well what the appearance of the Black Devourer Dragon meant. He was also a witness to the Mountain Erosion Incident several years ago, and he knew that defeating the Sky Returner Dragon was much more difficult than defeating the Black Devourer Dragon. Once the Black Devourer Dragon mutated into the Sky Returner Dragon, it would be an opponent that ordinary hunters could not defeat and return alive. Back then, the Phantom Troupe hunters entered the Forbidden Zone with the awareness of certain death, and apart from the High Priest, almost no one had any hope for them.

　But it was the hunters of the guild who defeated the Heavenly Dragon. The village chief quickly made a decision and immediately went to the hunters' meeting place to announce an investigation into the Batubatum Forest and the Ancient Tower, and invited Cooper and Camp to join the investigation team. He needed to test the two hunters' abilities.

　Cooper and Kemp handed the scale to the village chief for a look. The village chief carefully examined the magnificent white-gold scale in his hand. It was undoubtedly the scale of the Sky-Wheeling Dragon. After saying a few words of encouragement to Cooper and Kemp, the village chief left the hunter's meeting place.

　And so, Cooper and Camp began their hunter careers in the village of Sinard. Leonard checked the quests in his hands and recommended the mission "Crisis! Hunting the Ghost Doll" to Cooper and Camp, which they gladly accepted.

　Meanwhile, the Black Eclipse Dragon that started from Flamefire Village passed through the Dragon Graveyard and crossed the Tros Forest, finally arriving near the Batubatum Forest in Sinard Village. The hungry Black Eclipse Dragon immediately began to look for food after landing, while the Blue Monster Bird next to it was digging out and eating the Blue Beetles and Shield Beetles on the ground with its beak, completely unaware of the Black Eclipse Dragon beside it.

　The Blue Bird, a subspecies of the Great Bird, actually got its name from the fact that it ate a lot of beetles. The minerals in the beetle shells turned the Great Bird's shell blue. Apart from that, the Blue Bird is no different in terms of its feeding habits and ecological niche.

　However, due to the Blue Bird's coloration, it is slightly more aggressive than the Great Bird, but this slight increase in aggression is completely insignificant compared to the Black Dragon.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon leaped down from a nearby rock and stomped on the neck of the Blue Monster Bird. The Blue Monster Bird let out a mournful cry and struggled to escape, but the Black Eclipse Dragon's fangs had already pierced into the Blue Monster Bird's throat.

　Volume 1: Chapter 209 - The Dragon Princess of Unknown Origin

　[Intelligence Update] Two hunters from Barbare accidentally joined the effort to save Sky Mountain. At first, the hunters from Sinard Village thought there was only one Black Eclipse Dragon near Sky Mountain, the one they encountered during their voyage. But in reality, the Black Eclipse Dragon from Flamefire Village and the Black Eclipse Dragon from the New World both came to Sky Mountain. The native Black Eclipse Dragon came because it lived nearby, while the other two returned here because of their homing instinct.

　The Ghost Frog is a large, toad-like amphibian monster that lives deep underground. However, there are also sighting reports in watery areas of isolated islands, ice fields, and volcanic regions. The Ghost Frog is aggressive and has a voracious appetite. Its size can even rival some flying dragon monsters. Its abdomen and back are covered with blue and red carapaces. The most distinctive feature of the Ghost Frog is the pair of huge fangs extending from its lower jaw. It is called the Ghost Frog because when viewed from the front, the Ghost Frog has a serious and terrifying expression, as if it is wearing a Hannya mask.

　Cooper leaped out from the rock where he was hiding, drew his Dragonblade [Crimson], and swung it down with all his might. Cooper's attack hit the Ghost Frog squarely, and the Ghost Frog, only then realizing Cooper's presence, immediately let out a huge roar, twisted its body, and raised its claws to strike Cooper.

　"Kemp, it's your turn."

　Cooper had already sheathed his Wyvern Blade [Crimson] and quickly rolled to the side, dodging the Ghost Frog's attack. He then signaled to Kemp, who, upon hearing Cooper's words, raised his Gunlance, the Sand Dragon Destroyer, and thrust it at the Ghost Frog. He executed a lunge thrust, a diagonal upward thrust, an upward slash followed by a downward smash, the sharp spear tip piercing the Ghost Frog's body through the gaps in its carapace. In pain, the Ghost Frog immediately raised its right front and hind legs high and stomped down forcefully.

　Although the Ghost Frog looks chubby, its hind leg muscles are more developed than its front legs, giving it tremendous explosive power and jumping ability. Kemp immediately raised his shield in front of him and then jumped sideways to dodge the Ghost Frog's attack. The Ghost Frog's sumo stomp usually involves stomping on one side and then stomping on the other side. Finally, the Ghost Frog stomped heavily on the ground. Seeing that its attack missed, the Ghost Frog, unwilling to give up, swayed its body and rammed into Kemp again with a loud "bang".

　Cooper, keeping an eye on the Ghost Frog's tail and leg movements, drew his Dragon Blade [Crimson] from behind and slashed fiercely at the soft area between the Ghost Frog's legs. Although the sturdy carapace could protect the monster from harm, it also restricted its movements to some extent.

　Therefore, a sturdy carapace usually grows on the surface of a monster's body, while the inside is mostly soft muscle.

　Caught off guard by the hunter's attack, the Ghost Frog angrily stood up and spewed a cloud of green, foul-smelling slime from its mouth. Any creature that got stuck with this slime would become extremely weak and its mobility would be greatly reduced. Cooper took a step back and used the Wyvern Blade [Crimson] to dodge the Ghost Frog's slime with a slash. Meanwhile, Kemp had already loaded his ammunition and stood to the Ghost Frog's side, firing a full barrage at the Ghost Frog's tail.

　The ghost frog's tail hadn't completely atrophied like a real toad's; instead, it retained a short, stick-like section to maintain balance while moving. A piercing explosion and a dazzling flash of light erupted from the ghost frog's tail. The ghost frog, in pain, took two steps back, then used its hind legs to push off, its small blue eyes fixed on the hunter in front of it. As a mid-level predator in the ecological niche, when had the ghost frog been beaten to this extent?

　The Ghost Frog roared and leaped toward Cooper. Just as the Ghost Frog was about to reach him, Cooper dodged it. After landing, the Ghost Frog turned to face Cooper, then plunged its large lower jaw teeth into the ground, scooped up a large rock, and smashed it to the ground, shattering it with a splash effect. Cooper couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the rock, causing his protective gear to dent slightly. The Ghost Frog stood up again and spat a large glob of green slime at Cooper.

　Cooper and Camp relentlessly attacked the Ghost Frog while dodging its green slime and Mount Tai Slam. Thanks to Camp's tireless efforts, the Ghost Frog finally revealed an opening. At the same time, Cooper raised the Flying Dragon Blade [Crimson] high above his head, poured all his strength into it, and then slashed at the Ghost Frog's fangs. The katana, forged by combining all the workshop owner's technical expertise, remained sharp even after being polished on a whetstone.

　The ghost frog's fangs snapped off, and at that moment, the hunt finally entered its final stage.

　Kemp reloaded the gun, and while the Ghost Frog was struggling on the ground due to its broken fangs, he unleashed another full barrage of bullets at the frog's tail. The tail, already weakened by the repeated attacks, snapped off instantly. The Ghost Frog let out a mournful cry as it lay on the ground. Cooper gathered all his strength, unleashing a barrage of slashes that rained down on the Ghost Frog's head. The first slash circled around its head from the left before striking from the side; the second slash was a reverse circle, striking in quick succession...

　After a slash with a slight spin, Cooper calculated the attack range and unleashed his strongest attack in one go.

　Cooper's final blow severed the Ghost Frog's neck, and foul-smelling blood gushed out. The Ghost Frog, exhausted and bloodless, lay motionless on the ground. Getting up was a luxury for it, let alone escaping back to its nest.

　After confirming that there were no other monsters around, Kemp raised his gun and fired two shots at the Ghost Frog's head, ending its life. After relaxing, Cooper sat down on the ground, panting heavily. Kemp then began to focus on extracting materials from the Ghost Frog.

　Upon returning to Sinard Village, Cooper and Camp completed their mission. As their first mission in Sinard Village, they had done a good job. Cooper and Camp originally wanted to ask the village chief about the legend and the Heavenly Dragon, but Leonard said that the village chief had gone to the forbidden area to consult the High Priest. So Cooper and Camp talked to Leonard about the legend instead.

　Just as the three were chatting, a silver-haired girl wearing a light pink cherry blossom kimono and a black-haired loli wearing a light-colored haori and a sea-blue sailor uniform walked into the Hunter's Gathering Hall. The moment they stepped into the gathering hall, they attracted everyone's attention. There was no other reason than that the two of them looked like extremely wealthy noble girls. Leonard looked them over and was surprised to find that both of them had dragon horns.

　"Hello, what do you two need?"

　"A barbecue set meal, Xiaoguang, what would you like?"

　The little girl thought for a moment, then stretched out her hand and showed her fingers to Lanmei. The little girl meant that she wanted ten servings. However, Lanmei nodded and said to Leonard, "Give me another super-sized barbecue set meal. Hey, Xiaoguang, what's wrong with you?"

　"Lan, you bad guy."

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: By the way, in the 4G storyline, after everything is over, to thank the hunter, the guild leader gives the hunter that dragon scale, granting the hunter 1 pure white dragon scale. Only in the fourth game is this material given as a reward for completing the village – how generous!

　Volume 1: Chapter 210 - The Village Chief and the High Priest

　"Meow, meow meow meow, meow." Dear guests, your cheese crab stew, roasted deer leg, bursting salted dragon ribs, spicy stewed bird meatballs, and stewed meat soup are ready.

　Four Palicoes, carrying several dishes the size of washbasins on their heads, delivered them to the table for the young girl and Lanmei. After bowing slightly, the Palicoes hopped away with the food covers. The young girl eagerly grabbed a roasted deer leg from the plate, took a big bite with a "whoosh," and then tore off a large piece of venison. Her chubby cheeks puffed up a few times, and the entire piece of venison went into her mouth. The crispy skin and juicy meat made the young girl very satisfied.

　The crabs used to make cheese crab stew are usually small, juvenile crabs. Because of this, juvenile crabs are easy prey for other creatures, so they have to compress all the nutrients in their meat into their bodies. This makes the crab meat taste slightly inferior, but in contrast, the crab roe, which contains the essence of the entire crab, becomes a high-quality ingredient.

　The Palico chef extracted all the crab roe and meat from the Shield Crab, mixed the Empress Shrimp and Secret Pot Abalone together, added white sauce and stirred well. He then spread the mixture inside the crab shell and put it in the oven. The little girl picked up a spoon and stuffed the perfectly baked crab, shrimp and abalone mixture, covered with a thick layer of cheese, into her mouth.

　However, for Lanmei, her taste was a bit lighter. While the little girl was gnawing on the bursting salted dragon ribs, Lanmei was quietly savoring the milky white broth. The rich and mellow flavor was on her tongue. The herbivorous dragon meat was stewed until it was tender and delicious, melting in her mouth with a gentle touch. Meanwhile, the little girl was already eating the spicy stewed bird meatballs.

　Cooper and Kemp stared in disbelief as the little girl methodically stuffed pieces of meat into her mouth, swallowing hard.

　Meanwhile, the village chief arrived at the temple and met the high priest sitting beneath the emblem gate. The high priest seemed to have anticipated the village chief's arrival and had already prepared a seat for him.

　"Great Master, it seems you are not surprised by the appearance of the Black Devouring Dragon."

　"Hundreds of years ago, that white ancient dragon caused a calamity in Sky Mountain. The first great monk and the dragon people desperately sealed the Heavenly Returning Dragon on Sky Mountain and designated it as a forbidden area, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. But even so, the cycle of light and darkness has not stopped. After all, we defeated a Heavenly Returning Dragon a few years ago, didn't we? But now, it seems to have returned."

　Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded in agreement with the high monk's answer. The eyewitness report of the Black Devouring Dragon and the scales of the Heavenly Returning Dragon seemed to foreshadow that the events of several years ago were about to repeat themselves.

　"I have organized hunters to search for the Black Eclipse Dragon. If any trace of it is found, it must be hunted down as soon as possible to prevent it from disappearing completely in Sky Mountain."

　Once the Black Eclipse Dragon has molted, a four-person hunter team will find it very difficult to complete the hunt. Unfortunately, due to the location of Xinard Village, there aren't many hunters there, so the hunt for the Heavenly Returning Dragon will require requesting hunter support from the Hunter's Guild.

　The Black Eclipse Dragon is a terrifying creature whose environmental damage increases exponentially over time. This is why hunters must do everything in their power to deal with it. Once a Black Eclipse Dragon is spotted in Sky Mountain, hunters must pursue and kill it with all their might. They cannot allow the Black Eclipse Dragon to molt in Sky Mountain, otherwise the great disaster that swept through Sky Mountain will surely be repeated.

　The most serious consequence would be the failure of the mission to hunt down the Celestial Dragon. In that case, the only outcome would be for the Hunter's Guild to evacuate the residents of Sinard Village and permanently ban anyone from entering or leaving the village. But this is the only situation that the village chief would absolutely not want to see.

　The head monk sighed heavily, then suddenly changed the subject, "Alright, let's end this boring chat. After all, I was working in the fields this morning, and now I've turned into the head monk. The last time I wore the head monk's robes was the last time."

　"Ahem, alright, tone it down. You're the Grand Abbot now, what other ideas do you have?"

　"If you ask me, the Black Eclipse Dragon may not have appeared in Sky Mountain. Leonard didn't say he encountered it in the waters near Qiko Village. I think you can relax a bit, but the Sky Return Dragon will eventually return to the Forbidden Land. This was once the Sky Return Dragon's homeland. It was born here, it grew up here, and then left. It shed its skin, it grew up, and then returned. After a long period of time, it still returned, returned to its birthplace."

　"Yes, who understands it better than us? Its habits made it grow up in solitude. We are both enemies and friends with it. Perhaps it remembers us, but that doesn't stop our fight. Neither of us is wrong. It just wants to go home and survive. We are fighting for the village and for Sky Mountain. Perhaps there are no answers to these questions."

　To the southwest of Xinaer Village stands Sky Mountain. As its name suggests, Sky Mountain is a group of mountains far exceeding human imagination, even surpassing Lingfeng Peak in Jieyun Village in altitude. Moreover, Sky Mountain contains a large number of ancient civilization relics. However, according to the fairy tales circulating in Xiqi Kingdom, the originally ordinary mountain peaks collapsed due to large-scale tectonic movements. However, the vines growing among the mountains entangled and fixed the collapsed mountains and rock, which formed the unique, sky-like terrain of Sky Mountain.

　Even more remarkably, Sky Mountain produces a mineral called amphibole, which can only be collected in Sky Mountain. Therefore, some scholars speculate that Sky Mountain's unique terrain may be due to amphibole.

　At the summit of the Sky Mountain range, surrounded by peaks, lies a massive platform secured by vines and branches. Its high location has made it the lair of the Rathalos. "Roar!" The Rathalos stands in its lair, its powerful and venomous claws scratching the ground as it roars at the black monster before it, declaring its territory.

　With a roar, the Black Eclipse Dragon roared at the Rathalos. It had hunted several Rathalos back in Flamefire Village. The Black Eclipse Dragon cautiously lowered its body, preparing to bite the Rathalos. The Rathalos immediately flapped its wings and jumped back, simultaneously spitting out a fireball. The Black Eclipse Dragon used its limbs to leap to the side and dodge the fireball attack.

　Seeing that its attack had been dodged, the Rathalos, which was flying in the air, immediately folded its wings and extended its claws to kick the Black Dragon. The venomous claws could easily pierce the armor of the herbivorous dragon. Just as the Rathalos was about to kick the Black Dragon, the Black Dragon raised its body, opened its wing claws, grabbed the Rathalos's head, and slammed it into the ground.

　The Rathalos lost its balance and was pinned to the ground by the Black Dragon, letting out a miserable cry. The Black Dragon took the opportunity to stomp on it, lowered its head and spewed out a large ball of Rathalos Virus. The dark purple mist exploded immediately after landing.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: The rocks in Sky Mountain can actually be entangled by vines. It seems that in the Monster Hunter world, it's not just the hunters' bodies that are strong!

　Thank you everyone for your support, love you all~ mua

　Volume 1: Chapter 211 - The Battle of the Armored Dragon

　The Rathalos, blasted by the Mad Dragon Virus Ball, staggered to its feet. Under the slapping of the Black Eclipse Dragon's wing claws, the Rathalos had no choice but to flap its wings and fly backward, spraying fireballs in three different directions to block the Black Eclipse Dragon's movements. The Black Eclipse Dragon leaped to the side, dodging the Rathalos's fireballs. At this moment, the Rathalos seized the opportunity to charge up and stomped its foot on the ground. The Black Eclipse Dragon gripped the ground firmly with its left wing claw and exerted force with its right wing claw, drifting to avoid the Rathalos's charged Heavenly Slam. It then arched its body, its chest and abdomen bulging high, and after charging up, it spewed the Mad Dragon Virus forward in a fan-shaped trajectory from the side, causing an explosion.

　Don't Have

　The prepared Rathalos was instantly blasted to the ground, only able to kick its legs and scream in pain. The Black Eclipse Dragon raised its wing claws high, lifted its upper body to gather strength, and then slammed it down on the Rathalos. The Rathalos struggled even more violently in pain, trying to break free from the Black Eclipse Dragon's restraints. The Black Eclipse Dragon took the opportunity to lower its head and bite the Rathalos's neck, its wing claws firmly gripping the Rathalos's wings, pressing it to the ground. The more violently the Rathalos struggled, the harder the Black Eclipse Dragon's teeth tightened, and the Rathalos gradually stopped breathing.

　The Black Devourer grabbed the Rathalos's body with its wing claws, biting the side of the Rathalos's neck and tearing it with force. With a "rip," the scales on the Rathalos's body were violently torn off by the Black Devourer, revealing the tender white flesh inside. The Black Devourer chewed on a large piece of torn flesh. Compared to herbivorous dragon meat, the Rathalos meat was more tender and more nutritious, especially the ribs of the Rathalos and the shoulder and belly meat of the Rathalos.

　Soon, the Rathalos turned into a pile of bones on the ground.

　In the village of Sinard, at the Hunter's Guild Hall, Cooper and Kemp are choosing their next commission.

　"Emergency requests to hunt the Daimyo Shield Crab and the Monoblos. I really want to go, but the danger level of these requests exceeds our hunter level. How about..."

　"Let me see the Monoblos hunting mission. There's a Monoblos approaching the sand ship that the Commander is on. Oh, Camp, it really is a Monoblos. It's said that the Monoblos is the legendary monster that gave birth to the hunter profession. What a pity."

　Seeing Cooper and Kemp struggling to make a decision, Leonard glanced at the bulletin board and said, "Given your situation, I suggest you take on this [Operation Armored Dragon is dangerous, so I'm asking you for help]."

　"Hunting a Armored Dragon?" Cooper and Camp asked in unison.

　"Yes, in Xinard Village, both weapon forging and airship travel require charcoal. There is volcanic activity in the caves near Xinard Village, and charcoal can be collected when the volcano is active. However, there is an unavoidable problem: the volcanic activity has been very frequent recently, and the mining hunters encountered the Armored Dragon there. A powerful and hot monster appeared in the cave and kept wandering around. Therefore, for the safety of the hunters and the normal operation of the village, please hunt the Armored Dragon."

　After listening to Leonard's words, Cooper and Kemp gladly accepted the commission. Before setting off, Leonard emphasized that the underground volcano was a place that had become scorched by the eruption of magma due to volcanic activity. If the hunters did not drink heat-resistant beverages, they would soon give up the commission due to dehydration. So the two replenished their fluids with enough cold drinks before setting off.

　Following the map provided by the mining hunters, Cooper and Kemp arrived at the mountains marked as producing coal. Cooper and Kemp slowly walked down into the depths of the underground through the coal-mining tunnels.

　In a dark cave somewhere underground, a pair of yellowish-brown eyes suddenly opened. Accompanied by the sound of rocks cracking and falling, the massive and heavy body of the Armored Dragon slowly rose from the ground. After making a hissing sound like boiling water, the Armored Dragon moved its body towards the outside. Compared to the Rock Dragon, the Armored Dragon's carapace was relatively weaker. Scholars speculate that this might be to facilitate mobility. In addition, the Armored Dragon is already a very tough opponent, and an excessively heavy carapace might actually hinder it.

　To maintain the hardness of its shell and the activity of its internal bacteria, the Armored Dragon frequently immerses itself in lava, allowing the lava to adhere to its body and form armor. This is very similar to the Lava Dragon. However, unlike the Lava Dragon, the Armored Dragon cannot immerse itself in lava for too long, as this would threaten its life.

　"This one is empty too."

　After emerging from the cave, Cooper quickly grabbed a bottle of cold drink and gulped it down. This was the seventeenth cave they had explored, but they still hadn't found any trace of the Armored Dragon.

　"Take your time looking, there's still plenty of time."

　While comforting Cooper, Kemp carefully surveyed their surroundings. According to the ecological report, the Armored Dragon resembled a grayish-white rock; if it remained stationary, it could blend seamlessly into its environment without being noticed. Just as the two were about to climb up to examine the cave above, a powerful beam of light suddenly shot upwards from the lava in front of them. Cooper and Kemp instinctively placed their hands on their weapons, simultaneously staring intently at the lava. As the lava churned, a gigantic creature completely encased in grayish-white rock armor emerged from it—it was the Armored Dragon.

　Normally, the Armored Dragon will stand motionless in the ground, so most predators will think it is just a lifeless rock. Once it is pulled out, the Armored Dragon will fight the predator. The Armored Dragon stares intently at Cooper and Kemp in front of it with its brown eyes. Cooper immediately draws the Wyvern Blade [Crimson], and Kemp immediately raises the Barroth Destroyer Cannon.

　Seemingly seeing the two pick up weapons, the Armored Dragon roared, raised its head high, and flames continuously shot from its mouth. Then, it spat out a powerful heat ray at Cooper and Kemp. Cooper reacted quickly, dodging the Armored Dragon's heat ray and then slashing at the Armored Dragon's body.

　To Cooper's surprise, his attack only shattered a small patch of the Armored Dragon's armor. The Dragon then thrashed and rolled towards Cooper. Cooper sheathed his katana and quickly ran to the side, while Kemp, wielding the Barroth, destroyed...

　Taking advantage of the fact that the Armored Dragon was unable to get up, the cannon fired a full-scale shot at the Armored Dragon's abdomen.

　The intense pain in his abdomen caused the Armored Dragon to roar angrily. It flapped its wings forcefully and pushed off with its legs, briefly hovering in the air before slamming down on Kemp. Kemp immediately raised his shield to defend. The Armored Dragon shook its body, and Cooper, seeing this, immediately shouted, "It's going to spray hypnotic gas! Get out of the way!"

　After charging up, the Armored Dragon released white hypnotic gas from beneath its body. Fortunately, Kemp dodged in time and was not hypnotized.

　Volume 1: Chapter 212 - The Thousand-Blade Dragon of the Forest

　Cooper raised his katana and aimed at the gap where the Armored Dragon's wings met its body, thrusting it forward. The blade of the Flying Dragon Blade [Vermilion] was forged from the reverse scales of a fire dragon and sparrowstone. The sharp tip immediately pierced the Armored Dragon's skin. The Armored Dragon, in pain, immediately flapped its wings and pounced at Cooper. Seeing this, Cooper drew his katana and used Foresight Slash to dodge the Armored Dragon's attack.

　"The Armored Dragon's weak point is its chest and abdomen. Destroying its chest shell will weaken its defense."

　"learn."

　Kemp immediately rushed forward to assist Cooper's attack, aiming the muzzle of his gunlance at the Armored Dragon's abdomen and pulling the trigger. The blast radius of the spread-type gunlance fire was a wide fan, spreading outwards from the tip of the gun. After two shots, Kemp thrust the gunlance at the Armored Dragon, and the exploding dragon shell successfully pierced the Armored Dragon's abdomen.

　Enraged, the Armored Dragon swung its body, its mace-like tail whipping towards Kemp. Kemp seized the opportunity, raising his shield and dodging beneath the Armored Dragon's belly. The dragon's tail swept across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured Kemp's figure. However, the dragon's attack did not stop. It took a step back, rotated its body 180 degrees again, and swung its tail to launch another attack. Kemp fired cannons to detonate the Blast Dragon Bombs while dodging the dragon's legs.

　Meanwhile, Cooper was also looking for an opportunity to pierce the Armored Dragon's lungs. The Armored Dragon roared, sparks flashing from its mouth as it unleashed its breath, channeling the heat energy stored in the magma. Cooper had no choice but to use Foresight again to dodge the breath. Unexpectedly, the Armored Dragon swung its head and unleashed a sweeping breath. The Armored Dragon's breath possessed a power unmatched by any other flying dragon's breath. According to scholars, even a Tyrannosaurus Rex would be temporarily suppressed by the Armored Dragon's heat rays. Cooper did not want to be melted by the terrifying heat ray breath.
