The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　PS2: There are really, really few Serpent King Dragons in existence~ Fujioka once said: "Just like you can find a lot of earthworms when you turn over the soil, I hope that there are many Serpent King Dragons in the world."

　The underground is full of snake king dragons, wait, why do I feel like I'm covered in chicken blood?

　Goosebumps~

　Volume 1: Chapter 221 - The Mutant Tree Sea

　"The gnawing worms, and that Silver Dragon. But judging from their appearance alone, it seems a bit too much for a pure strength-type ancient dragon like the Silver Dragon to possess an attack method like the gnawing worms."

　“Ancient dragons don’t reason with you. Take the Storm Dragon in Yukumo Village, for example. It doesn’t even need to attack humans. Just walking through the village is enough to destroy the entire village. There’s also the Elder Dragon King, Xeno’s Lantern Dragon, in the Convergence Land, and the Crimson Dragon deep in the Valley of the Darkness, which can destroy the world if released.”

　“That makes sense.” Although Aiden had never witnessed the destructive power of the Storm Dragon, he was well aware of the ecological destructive power of the Xeno'jiiva and Safi'jiiva.

　While Bai Feng and Aiden were discussing the Black Eclipse Dragon, they were also looking through information about the Kingdom and the Silver Dragon in the Ancient Dragon Research Institute. When they saw the paradoxical appearance of the Gnawing Worm, Bai Feng couldn't help but recall the ferocious appearance of the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　"Since the gnawing insects have appeared in the Batbatum Forest, does that mean that the Silver Dragon has also appeared there?"

　After leaving the Ancient Dragon Research Institute, Bai Feng shared his thoughts. The village chief shook his head and said, "The Ancient Dragon Research Institute doesn't know the relationship between the Silver Dragon and the Gnawing Worms either. However, there haven't been any sightings of the Silver Dragon in Xinard Village yet, and the Silver Dragon has its own fixed habitat, so I don't think we need to worry. On the other hand, there have been more sightings of berserk monsters. Since the Black Eclipse Dragon is so active, it seems that it's not far from shedding its skin."

　"That's true. The only reason the Black Eclipse Dragon returns to Sky Mountain due to its homing instinct is that it's about to undergo its final molting period. For the Black Eclipse Dragon, each molting is a test with an extremely low success rate. That's why after successfully molting for the last time, the Black Eclipse Dragon will transform into a Sky Returning Dragon, while if it fails, the Black Eclipse Dragon can only die miserably."

　"Failed molting, or becoming chaos?"

　"That's right. Also, according to your New World Survey Team's report, that King Ming individual seems to possess extraordinary power. If we don't subdue it during the Black Eclipse Dragon period, and it is allowed to molt into the Heavenly Return Dragon, then the villagers of Xinard Village and I will have no choice but to move out of this place."

　"I can't even imagine what that King Dark Black Eclipse Dragon will look like after it evolves into the Heavenly Return Dragon. After all, it was developing very well in the New World before, but I didn't expect it to be targeted by the Gnawing Worms."

　On the mountainside of Sky Mountain, a strange ape-fox transformed into a mad dragon was leaping between the treetops, while beneath the treetops, a Deviljho with bloodshot eyes and blackish-purple saliva dripping from its mouth was staring intently at them.

　Several years ago, three red Velociraptors ganged up on a Zinogre at the foot of Sky Mountain. The red Velociraptors even nearly killed the Zinogre. Now, five monstrous foxes also feel that they can gang up on a Deviljho, or, to be bolder, they can kill a Sky Deviljho!

　What the strange apes and foxes didn't know was that the Deviljho had only inhaled the Mad Dragon Virus, causing it to enter a period of weakness. It didn't mean that the strange apes and foxes had become stronger. The reason why the Thunder Wolf Dragon was injured by the Red Velociraptor was because it had been fighting more than once and was exhausted, which is why the Red Velociraptor was able to succeed.

　Two strange foxes stood on the treetop, grabbing pine cones and throwing them at the Deviljho. The remaining three strange foxes clung to the Deviljho, tearing at its body. Driven by hunger, instinct, and the mad dragon virus, the Deviljho could only roar and shake its body, trying to throw the strange foxes off. In its struggle, the Deviljho didn't notice a step behind it, lost its footing, and fell to the ground.

　The strange apes on either side of the body quickly jumped off the Deviljho. At this moment, the Deviljho, due to the worsening symptoms of the Mad Dragon Virus, could no longer even roar. The Deviljho flipped over and staggered to its feet. Just as it was about to leap towards the strange apes, its body suddenly convulsed and it collapsed.

　The ecstatic fox, believing it had killed the Deviljho, was dancing with glee, boldly attempting to bite the dragon's neck. However, the ecstatic fox punched it away, then lunged at the dragon's neck. Suddenly, the Deviljho sprang up, raising its head and biting the ecstatic fox's neck and head, crushing its skull with its jaws. The dragon then swallowed the ecstatic fox whole. Seeing its kin die, the ecstatic fox did not retreat but continued its attack on the Deviljho.

　With a flick of its tail, the Deviljho slammed the charging ape-fox into a tree. Then, it took a step back and charged at the remaining two ape-foxes. A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and the ape-foxes were sent flying by the Deviljho, instantly losing their lives. For prey that it couldn't swallow whole, the Deviljho's saliva was corrosive, effectively softening the prey for easier consumption. The Deviljho chewed on the ape-foxes piece by piece, making a terrifying crunching sound.

　Bai Feng, who had witnessed the entire event, signaled to Aiden and immediately launched his grappling hook. He then pulled himself toward the Deviljho, raised his Icewing Feather, and slashed it down at the Deviljho's head. The Deviljho, which was enjoying its meal, immediately realized that someone was attacking it. After spitting out the Strange Ape-Fox from its mouth, the Deviljho stood up and let out a deafening roar at the sky.

　The Deviljho leaped back, its crimson eyes finding Bai Feng's figure before it rolled and charged at him. Bai Feng rolled away to dodge the attack. The Deviljho immediately raised its left leg and stomped hard to the side. Aiden, who had found a good sniping position in the distance, pulled the trigger, and three armor-piercing grenades hit the Deviljho's head and exploded. The flashes of light instantly blocked the Deviljho's vision. Bai Feng seized the opportunity, raised his Ice Wing Feather, and slashed at the Deviljho's left leg.

　After successfully attacking, Bai Feng did not continue the pursuit. After consuming the Demon Pill, Bai Feng dodged the Deviljho's tail whip and front bite, rolled to the side of the Deviljho, and once again drew his sword to slash at the Deviljho's left leg. At the same time, Aiden, who had reloaded his ammunition, fired another armor-piercing grenade. As Bai Feng's Ice Wing Feathers fell, the armor-piercing grenade on the Deviljho's head exploded. The Deviljho let out a wail, a large amount of dark purple saliva flowing from its mouth, and collapsed to the ground, its limbs flailing wildly.

　Bai Feng immediately fired the stone from the projectile, then, centering on his waist, transferred all his strength to his hands, and then slashed down hard at the Deviljho's left leg. The Icewing Feather directly severed the Deviljho's leg muscle. "Aow!!" The Deviljho let out a painful howl. Aiden then pulled the trigger and fired a piercing bullet at the Deviljho.

　The piercing bullet exploded on the Deviljho, causing a series of damage. The Deviljho struggled to get up from the ground, raised its head to charge up, and then swept its breath forward. As the Deviljho's Tyrannosaurus Breath, if a hunter gets hit by it, the dragon breath will cause continuous damage. Bai Feng immediately dodged to the side and avoided the Deviljho's Tyrannosaurus Breath.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: I remember there was a funny meme about how Deviljho got to the New World, and how it learned to breathe fire and then just like Huihui.

　Volume 1: 222 - The Storm Lord's Nemesis

　The Deviljho turned and lunged forward to bite Bai Feng, but Bai Feng dodged the bite with a leap. The Deviljho raised its body high and then opened its mouth to bite Bai Feng. Bai Feng rolled on the spot to avoid the Deviljho's ground slam attack, but the Deviljho used its terrifying bite force and hard teeth to scoop up a huge rock from the ground and throw it at Bai Feng.

　The boulder was flying too fast for Bai Feng to dodge. Just when she thought she was about to be hit, a series of bullets hit the boulder, making it smoke and shatter. Aiden, who was not far away, gave Bai Feng a thumbs up. Bai Feng hurriedly took out a nutrient solution and drank it all. The angry Deviljho raised its head again to gather its strength and spewed out a red and black dragon breath that swept forward.

　When a Deviljho enters an enraged state, the surging dragon energy within its body erupts uncontrollably from its mouth. Furthermore, the muscles in its body swell due to the rampage of this dragon energy, entering a state of "muscle expansion." At this time, all the muscles are taut, and the flesh reaches a new level of intensity. Because the Deviljho has almost no carapace and its entire body is covered in completely gelatinous skin—skin with excellent resilience and easy healing—it won't fall off even if there are large cuts. This explains why the Deviljho can still be lively and energetic even with huge wounds cut into its legs.

　Bai Feng quickly rolled beneath the Deviljho to avoid its breath attack. Just as he drew his Icewing Feather to strike, he said, "Captain, could you please set a paralysis trap and distract the Deviljho for a little longer?"

　"That's simple, just leave it to me."

　After obtaining Bai Feng's consent, Aiden stored the King Fang Cannon [Thunderclap] on his back. Then, he took out a round can containing a paralysis trap from his item bag. Bai Feng glanced at it, then raised the Icewing Spirit Feather and slashed at the Deviljho's left leg. The Deviljho, in pain, retreated and then charged at Bai Feng with its side. Bai Feng did not dodge but instead stepped forward and used the Hunter's Iron Mountain Lean to charge and attack, dodging the Deviljho's front claws. Then, he lowered his body, focusing all the weight of the greatsword and his wrist strength on the blade, and swung the Icewing Spirit Feather with all his might.

　With a loud bang, the Icewing Feather slashed hard at the Deviljho's leg. Bai Feng glanced at Aiden, who, after confirming the Deviljho's movements, immediately found a suitable spot to set up a paralysis trap.

　"Captain."

　Upon hearing Aiden's words, Bai Feng immediately changed direction and ran towards Aiden, deliberately using an exaggerated posture to run at full speed, probably so that the Deviljho would notice her soon.

　"Ow~"

　As expected, the Deviljho roared and charged forward. Bai Feng and Aiden stepped over the paralysis trap and prepared to meet it. The Deviljho was indeed moving along the route where the paralysis trap had been set. Its body, which was dozens of times larger than Bai Feng and Aiden combined, was pressing down on the two of them. The moment the Deviljho stepped into the paralysis trap, strands of electricity immediately wrapped around its body, and the Deviljho immediately began to struggle on the spot.

　Bai Feng immediately raised his Icewing Feather and aimed it at the Deviljho's tail. Aiden also raised his heavy crossbow and fired a slicing bullet at the Deviljho's tail. As the name suggests, the slicing bullet is a cutting-attribute bullet that scatters blades at the point of impact. It is generally used to cut off the tail. After exchanging glances, the two smiled at each other. As for why they both aimed at the tail, most Brute Wyverns, such as Anjanath and Barroth, have relatively compact skeletons and their center of gravity is between their two bodies. However, the Deviljho is different; it is too long.

　The Deviljho's excessively long body made it unstable and put a lot of pressure on its legs. If its oversized tail were cut off, the Deviljho's center of gravity would shift completely forward, and it would be questionable whether the Deviljho could even walk normally.

　As expected, after being hit by the Slicing Bullet and Bai Feng's True Charged Slash, the Deviljho's tail was immediately severed, and a stream of foul-smelling dragon blood spurted from its tail. The Deviljho turned around and roared at Bai Feng and Aiden before running away. Suddenly, it saw the green tail on the ground. The Deviljho immediately bit its severed tail, chewing on it as it staggered away. Because of its unstable center of gravity, it knocked over several tall trees along the way.

　Bai Feng and Aiden quickly followed the trail of the Deviljho to find it. The Deviljho was leaping forcefully onto a platform. When Bai Feng and Aiden jumped onto the platform, they discovered another monster there, its entire body covered in hard green carapace and countless red spikes. This monster was Spinosaurus, which was devouring giant beetles and gas frogs on the ground. It was clear that the Deviljho hadn't expected to encounter Spinosaurus here. As a well-known glutton, the Deviljho immediately charged forward.

　Spinosaurus's shell is so hard that when attacked, it doesn't even need to get up and fight back immediately, because ordinary attacks cannot harm it. However, if the damage inflicted by the enemy reaches a certain level, Spinosaurus will enter a berserk state. Deviljho is the kind of Brute Wyvern that will not hesitate to attack its prey head-on when hunting. Injured by Deviljho's saliva and dragon breath, Spinosaurus immediately raised its head and charged at Deviljho with its huge horns.

　The Deviljho's abdomen was instantly pierced with a large hole and it was slammed into a tree by the Spinosaurus. The Spinosaurus then bit the Deviljho, lifted it up, and slammed it to the side. After the Deviljho let out a wail, the Spinosaurus roared and spat a poisonous fireball at the Deviljho.

　Bai Feng, who was standing nearby, noticed that the Spinosaurus's tongue was blue. Just as Bai Feng was thinking about how to deal with the Deviljho, a sudden gust of wind swept around them, swirling leaves into the air. The Spinosaurus looked up at the sky and let out a roar, its mouth flashing with fire. But before the Spinosaurus could spew out the poisonous fireball, three jets of air struck the area around it. Then, a monster covered in silver-white carapace descended from the sky, charged at the Spinosaurus with its forepaws, and knocked it away, sending it rolling several times on the ground.

　After Spinosaurus got up from the ground, it raised its head and charged directly at Kushala Daora. Kushala Daora breathed a gust of wind at Spinosaurus, which forced Spinosaurus back for a moment. However, this was just a trick by Spinosaurus. Spinosaurus then swung its tail from the side and hit Kushala Daora. Spinosaurus's horns and the spines on its body can secrete toxins.

　Meanwhile, Bai Feng and Aiden were pondering how to defeat the Deviljho when the Kushala Daora unleashed a powerful breath attack at them. They barely managed to dodge it. At that moment, the Spinosaurus raised its horn and charged at them. Seeing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to pull out his Stink Bomb and aim it at the noses of both the Spinosaurus and the Kushala Daora.

　P.S.: (bows deeply) I'm so sorry, Red Bean Mud Private Ma Sai, I've been busy moving lately and haven't been updating as much. I hope you can forgive me. I'll be settled this week and then I'll get back to work and update properly! Give me strength, Mina!

　PS2: The landlord had said before that he would sell the house, but I didn't expect it to sell so quickly. If it weren't for the fact that the average price in this area is 2.5, I wouldn't be able to afford it either, sob sob.

　Thank you all for your support, love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 223 - You Will Eventually Die

　Completing the defeat of the Berserker-transformed Deviljho should have been a cause for celebration, but the cost was rather heavy. Both Bai Feng and Aiden were sent back to Sinard Village by Palicoes. It should be noted that under the influence of the Stink Bomb, the Kushala Daora and Spinosaurus went on a rampage before leaving.

　At the summit of Sky Mountain, the Black Eclipse Dragon of Flamefire Village felt that the Black Eclipse Dragon beside her was much better than the sister she had only met once. She didn't know why, although she had only met that unfamiliar sister once, her instinctive reaction told her that she didn't like her, and that the sister had put too much pressure on her. That's why she rushed to the Forbidden Zone to prepare for one last molt. What she didn't expect was that after arriving at the Forbidden Zone, she found the Black Eclipse Dragon beside her.

　Since gaining consciousness, the Black Eclipse Dragon of Flamefire Village has been alone, in its pursuit of...

　While she was eating the Thousand-Blade Dragon, the Black Eclipse Dragon suddenly rushed out, trying to steal her prey. Before she could retaliate, she realized that the Black Eclipse Dragon was still very young. Moreover, after noticing that she had already prepared to attack, the Black Eclipse Dragon immediately retracted its wings and claws, intending to leave. She suddenly felt that she was like her older sister at that moment, so she decided to tear off one of the Thousand-Blade Dragon's hind legs and throw it to the Black Eclipse Dragon.

　She didn't take it to heart; she was just a younger sister, much younger than herself. She thought to herself that she should have done better than that older sister.

　Life continued as usual. She foraged for food near Sky Mountain, waiting for her molting period to arrive. However, she unexpectedly encountered that strange creature that spun slime and was attacked by two upright creatures. In Flamefire Village, she rarely interacted with upright creatures, so she had no choice but to follow her instincts and bombard the ground. Unexpectedly, the strange flying insects that had attacked her in Jade Leaf Fortress swarmed onto her again. She could clearly feel that those disgusting little insects were sucking her life force while injecting something into her body.

　She wouldn't allow that to happen. She tried everything: tearing the insects off with her talons and crushing them, slamming her body against the wall to squeeze them to death, and even diving into the water after flying to the high school to drive them away. Fortunately, she finally managed to drive the insects away. However, because she had exhausted too much energy, she had to give up the monsters she hadn't finished eating and dragged her tired body back to her nest, where she slowly drifted off to sleep.

　In her dream, she seemed to descend as the Goddess of the Sky Mountain, a dazzling white light illuminating the entire world. Only in this way could she be worthy of her previous hardships. And as she tossed the hunters around like balls, her sister could only appear before her in a wretched state, half gold and half black. She knew this was her victory, that she had beaten her sister to it. At that moment, she longed to pounce on her kneeling sister and say, "That's the expression! I've always wanted to see that jealous look on your face!"

　Even though she was asleep, she almost laughed out loud. Just then, her sister suddenly pounced on her, her sharp dragon teeth biting her neck and her wing claws locking her body firmly. She tried to break free, but her body was completely immobile. Just as her trachea was about to be severed, she finally woke up from her dream.

　"So it was because I was hungry."

　The Black Eclipse Dragon yawned and continued to lie on the ground. The place where the strange creature had burned her was still throbbing with pain. Her body was still a little sluggish after the insect had drained her life force. She decided to rest for a while before going to find food. But she didn't expect that at that moment, the Black Eclipse Dragon came to her resting place.

　She suddenly remembered that she had first met it here, but she was very weak now, and those insects might pop out from somewhere, so she had no choice but to stand up and growl at it to let it go.

　But she didn't leave. Instead, she threw two strange creatures at her. The smell of flesh and blood made her feel even hungrier, but she didn't want to show her weakness, so she forced her to leave again.

　The Celestial Dragon will follow the Black Eclipse Dragon herd and raise them together.

　She suddenly realized that she could live with this Black Devouring Dragon forever, so she called out to it. The Black Devouring Dragon obediently brought the Strange Ape Fox to her and thoughtfully cleaned the scales that had been broken by the explosion or insects and the wounds from the fight. She lowered her head and sniffed the scent of the Black Devouring Dragon and memorized it.

　Two Strange Ape Foxes alone were not enough to fill her stomach, so she brought the Black Eclipse Dragons to the seaside at the foot of Sky Mountain. If she still had any grievances, it was that giant crab. But now that the Black Eclipse Dragons had joined her, the two of them could definitely slaughter all the shield crabs in the area.

　She extended her wing claws to hold the Daimyo Shield Crab's massive pincer-like claws in place. After removing the Daimyo Shield Crab's weapon, the Black Eclipse Dragon extended its wing claws and plunged them straight into the Daimyo Shield Crab's head. According to her, after the wing claws circled inside, the Daimyo Shield Crab died on the beach.

　Black Dragon pulled her wing claw out of the Daimyo Shield Crab's body, then sniffed the Shield Crab and her own wing claw. After curiously licking it, she opened the crab's shell, grabbed the crab meat and crab roe inside, and stuffed them into her mouth. There were still many Shield Crabs left, and she found another one nearby, although this one was a little smaller.

　So she lowered her head and bit the shell of the Daimyo Shield Crab, ignoring the crab's claws and walking legs waving in her face. After exposing the crab's belly, she smashed it against the rocks on the shore, and it was ready to eat.

　She calls this method "ready to eat after opening the lid".

　Meanwhile, the village chief of Sinard Village found Bai Feng and Aiden. Since completing the quest to transform into a Berserker Deviljho, traces of Berserker Peach-haired Beasts had reappeared near Sinard Village. Cooper, Kemp, and other hunters who could be sent out were searching for clues about the Black Eclipse Dragon near the village. The village chief had no choice but to ask Bai Feng to take on the quest. However, before accepting the quest, the village chief said that the High Priest had something to say to him, so Bai Feng and Aiden had to go to Sky Mountain and the forbidden area again.

　"Welcome, hunter, no, leader of the Fifth Fleet of the New World Ancient Dragon Survey Corps."

　"Great Monk, I saw you at the meeting place with the village chief last night."

　"We're playing drinking games, can you just get to the point?"

　The head monk scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I'm a farmer myself. Alright, alright, actually, the reason I called you here isn't anything else. Azure Star, your performance in the New World has convinced me that you're the one who's going to slay the Heavenly Dragon. So before that, I wanted to tell you some things about the Heavenly Dragon, as well as a mysterious facility in the village of Sinard."

　"A mysterious facility?"

　"Yes, the Maha Alchemy Vault. You can use alchemy here to create the items you want. The most important one is naturally the Dragon-Resistant Stone."

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Judging from the title and content, you can probably guess what happened, right? Yes! Dragons can die, and dragons can't die. I think keeping you in suspense for a bit will get you the idea~

　Oh, right! May 20th is the day Xiao Guang sheds his skin! I told you!

　Volume 1: 224 - Errors and Truth

　At the foot of Thousand Swords Mountain, in the temporary nest of the young girl and Lan Mei, the young girl, who had slept until noon, rolled around on the ground twice before finally getting up slowly. After stretching comfortably, she walked out of the nest.

　The nest is located in an alluvial fan plain formed by the impact of a river estuary. Due to the large amount of river silt deposited, this plain is fertile and has abundant water resources, so many wild animals live here. In addition to the common herbivorous dragons and fairy deer, the shield crabs and velociraptors also frequently visit this place.

　The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and then plunged into the nearby river. Upstream, the barefoot Lan Mei was wading in the water. Naturally clean, even somewhat obsessive-compulsive, Lan Mei would frequently wash her body and her dwelling. Under certain circumstances, Lan Mei would even use a water gun to wash the ground. In the morning, while cleaning her body and replenishing the water in her Lan Qi cells at sea, Lan Mei also took care of her breakfast. Lan Mei's breakfast consisted of fish from the nearshore waters and those blind pterosaurs.

　With a "splash," the little girl emerged from the river with a large sashimi fish in her mouth. The little girl had bitten the head of the sashimi fish, and her sharp fangs pierced the skull of the fish. The fish seemed to know that it had left the river, and after a struggle, the little girl crushed its head.

　After surveying her surroundings with her crimson-gold eyes and confirming her direction, the little girl slowly swam back to shore. She shook her head vigorously on the bank, shaking off the water droplets from her hair. The droplets fell to the ground along with her pale-colored haori. She then bit into the belly of the large sashimi fish, tearing off the entire skin with a "rip" and then biting down hard. Bright red blood flowed down her teeth onto her body. The sashimi fish was delicious, with a naturally sweet flavor; Lan Mei also loved eating this kind of sashimi fish.

　The little girl had an "O~O" look on her face and was happily chewing on the fish. When Lanmei heard the splash, she knew that the little girl had gone into the water again. Lanmei found an open space, walked over there, lifted her feet to shake off the water droplets on her ankles and the backs of her feet, and then walked towards the little girl.

　From Lanmei's perspective, the little girl's recent condition is a bit strange. She is sleepy and lethargic, but her appetite has increased. Sometimes she even falls asleep while eating. Lanmei is worried that the little girl might be sick, but the little girl's eating and sleeping habits don't seem like she is sick. However, Lanmei has never raised a baby dragon before, so she is not sure what the little girl is.

　When she returned to the vicinity of the nest, the little girl had already eaten the large sashimi fish and pounced on several elf deer. When Lanmei found her, the little girl was tearing meat off the elf deer. Her sharp teeth easily cut through the elf deer meat, and the more difficult-to-chew deer tendons were like large sashimi fish meat in the little girl's mouth. Soon, the elf deer was also eaten clean by the little girl.

　After temporarily filling her stomach, the little girl's mind went blank again. Seeing the little girl's silly O_O expression, Lanmei sat down next to her and idly stroked the little girl's black tail. For the little girl, stroking her tail from front to back along the direction of the scales wasn't really a heinous thing to do, but the sensitive base of the tail was absolutely off-limits.

　Yes, Lanmei also likes to chase her own tail in circles, even though that only brings storms.

　However, after transforming, Lanmei does not have a distinctive tail like the little girl. Lanmei's tail is just a tail fin with a layer of flying membrane tissue.

　Seeing the little girl yawning, Lanmei couldn't help but want to put her fingers in the little girl's mouth, but thinking of the little girl's sharp canine teeth, Lanmei restrained herself and instead pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks. From the feel of the touch, Lanmei could confirm that the little girl had indeed gotten fat, well, the kind of baby fat.

　The young girl already had a bit of baby fat, but it's even more noticeable now. In fact, this rarely happens to ordinary Black Eclipse Dragons. Not all Black Eclipse Dragons eat as much and as well as the young girl. Some Black Eclipse Dragons even eat carrion. So, to a large extent, the habit of molting is an extremely dangerous thing for Black Eclipse Dragons.

　The little girl rubbed against Lanmei's hand reluctantly, then gently pushed Lanmei's hand away with her tail. Lanmei seized the opportunity to grab the little girl's tail, but unexpectedly found several old scales the size of a thumb on her hand. These were old dragon scales that the little girl had shed during her normal metabolism. These dragon scales were renewed and replaced at a certain frequency during the growth of the Black Devouring Dragon. When it was injured, the renewal of the scales in this area would be accelerated. During normal hunting, these scales would fall off with the movement, so they would fall off with the slightest external force.

　However, since they are old scales, young girls will only feel itchy, not painful.

　Looking at the black scales in her hand, Lanmei suddenly thought of something: could it be that the little girl is about to molt? Following this line of thought, Lanmei felt that the little girl's previous behavior made sense. Her increased appetite, lethargy, and lack of activity were all to store energy. And during this time, the two of them had traveled from the sea of ​​trees to Thousand Swords Mountain, which also seemed to be the little girl looking for a suitable place to molt. So Lanmei grabbed a handful of the little girl's tail.

　"Light, are you about to shed your skin?"

　"Oh, molting, what's skin? Is it edible?"

　"No, no, there are examples of people who say they can eat it, but you shouldn't eat it, yes, you can't eat it."

　The little girl shifted into a more comfortable position in Lan's arms. "Lan, this is strange."

　Lanmei grabbed the little girl's face and pulled it to both sides. "So, are you about to shed your skin? Like, well, you shouldn't crawl out of there like Kushao Daora, right?"

　"Take off your clothes?"

　"Take off your clothes!"

　"Ah."

　Meanwhile, in the village of Xinard, Bai Feng and Aiden received an urgent request: a berserker-like Tigrex had appeared in the Forest of Trees. In order to find the Black Eclipse Dragon as soon as possible and protect the ecology of Xinard Village, Bai Feng immediately set out to subdue the berserker-like Tigrex. The village chief noticed something, picked up the map of Xinard Village, and marked the recent berserker events on the map, along with the dates and results of the subjugation.

　The village chief stared at it for a while, but still felt that something was missing. Then the village chief also drew Cooper and Camp's tracking route. According to Cooper and Camp's investigation route, they started from the village of Sinard and went as far as the vicinity of the ancient tower, but strangely, Cooper and Camp did not find any trace of the Black Devouring Dragon.

　Just as the village chief was racking his brains, he suddenly remembered that a request had just appeared that day: a request to transform a mad dragon into a thunder dragon. So the village chief hurriedly drew the incident on the map. When the puzzle piece was completed, the village chief finally realized their mistake and the truth of the matter.

　Volume 1: Chapter 225 - The Trembling Ah Hong

　On the vine platform of the Batbatum Forest, Tigrex was tearing flesh from the Great Bird with its classic "biting" teeth, blood splattering on the ground and Tigrex's body. The Great Bird on the ground was already motionless.

　Before setting off, Bai Feng paced back and forth in the camp, repeatedly charging up and slashing with the King Fang Greatsword [Wind and Thunder] to gradually enter a hunting state and further enhance his skin's sensation. If one is not fully in hunting state before starting a mission, or if one's consciousness is merely in a state of extreme tension, then a problem will arise: the human body has many, even countless, parts that do not change with changes in consciousness.

　In other words, only hunters who have reached hunting state will react to objects that are not normally visible and launch an attack based on their hunter's intuition. As for the King Fang Greatsword [Wind and Thunder], when it comes to Tigrex, a thunder-attribute weapon is naturally required. Bai Feng's Ice Wing Feather can only deal ice-attribute attacks. Fortunately, she borrowed the King Fang Greatsword [Wind and Thunder] from other hunters. The weapon's destructive power and the elemental attack brought by the Thunder Wolf's Thunder Shell are enough to break through Tigrex's weaknesses.
