The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　After leaving Uyu-tei, Yoomiya continued making fireworks. Soon it was evening, and Ayaka, Yoomiya, Yuujo, and Arashi arrived at White Fox Field, where Yoomiya had a special place to test fireworks. Yoomiya quickly made preparations before setting off the fireworks.

　"3, 2, 1."

　As the countdown ended, Xiaogong used the Eye of God to ignite the fireworks. With the fuse burning out, a bright ball of light rapidly rose into the air with a "bang," and after reaching its highest point, it suddenly exploded. Countless light spots spread across the sky like blooming cherry blossoms, instantly illuminating the entire sky. As the light spots expanded to their maximum size, just as they were about to disappear, a series of crackling sounds rang out, and the light spots exploded again. Bright blue, vibrant purple, beautiful pink, and striking red—countless colors intertwined, once again illuminating the sky.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Orz Yesterday, on chapter 239, I don't know what mental state I was in when I wrote it. I'll rewrite it as soon as possible, and I'll let everyone know when it's finished.

　Thank you all for your support, love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 241 - Finally, I Met You

　In the village of Xinard in the Sky Mountain, after confirming that the Reincarnated One had left the forbidden area, Bai Feng began to investigate the place where the Reincarnated One had molted. However, after searching the forbidden area and the Sky Mountain, Bai Feng could not find the place where the Reincarnated One had molted. After thinking for a while, Bai Feng set his sights on Thousand Swords Mountain, which was not far from the Sky Mountain.

　As its name suggests, Thousand Swords Mountain is surrounded by continuous mountain peaks, and its landmark is the sword mountain standing in the northeast.

　Bai Feng was quite lucky. As soon as he entered Tianjian Mountain, he quickly found the claw marks of the Reincarnated Lord with the help of the Guide Bug. Bai Feng gestured to measure the depth of the marks and couldn't help but recall the scene he saw in the Forbidden Zone. He thought that if the Reincarnated Lord had swiped at him, his hunter career would probably have ended here.

　Following the claw marks, Bai Feng continued to explore forward. After passing through a narrow opening, he arrived at a place that looked like a cave. The cave floor was covered with the bones and remains of creatures, and giant beetles were crawling around on it. Bai Feng stepped on the giant beetle and killed it. Then, following the guide insect's instructions, he passed through again.

　This time, Bai Feng saw the corpses of three Red Velociraptors: one Red Velociraptor King and two Red Velociraptors. Judging from the wounds on the corpses and the battle marks left on the surrounding ground, the three Red Velociraptors must have been fighting and all of them died. Moreover, the Red Velociraptors' skin had turned black. Bai Feng was certain that the three Red Velociraptors died from the Mad Dragon Virus. This also proved that the Returning World Master had come to Thousand Sword Mountain after leaving the restricted area. Bai Feng couldn't help but clench his fists.

　After disposing of the Red Velociraptor's carcass, Bai Feng continued forward following the guidefly's lead, eventually stopping in a spot in the mountains. In front of Bai Feng was a path flanked by steep rock walls on both sides, extending deeper into the mountains. Sparsely growing on the rock walls were some unfamiliar herbaceous plants, all bent over in the same direction due to gravity.

　The sky was still shrouded in dark clouds, with faint rumbles of thunder echoing through the clouds. There was no sign of any other living beings, not even a breath of wind. Bai Feng took a deep breath, allowing her stiff body to gradually soften without her realizing it. She was about to step into this unknown place. After preparing herself, Bai Feng stepped onto the path. Although it was just a path, it was actually a slope that was particularly prone to landslides. Moreover, as Bai Feng moved forward, the slope became steeper and steeper. Bai Feng carefully moved along the slope, and soon the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up.

　The ground was covered with glittering ores, and there was a huge crack in the top, allowing sunlight to stream in and making the place less eerie. Bai Feng placed flashbangs, paralysis traps, and other items within easy reach so he could use them at any time. While carefully observing his surroundings, Bai Feng cautiously took steps forward, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, the guide bug on Bai Feng's waist turned red, circled a few times, and landed in a pile of dark objects not far away.

　Just as Bai Feng was about to examine the pile of objects in detail, a ripple of water appeared on the ground as he moved. Bai Feng instantly realized what it was, immediately ate the Dispelling Fruit, and put on a protective mask. At this moment, without needing to go forward to check, Bai Feng could determine that it was the old skin shed by the Reincarnated Lord.

　"Click-clack-click-clack-click!"

　Pebbles on the nearby rock wall fell down under some unknown force, making a clattering sound as they fell. Bai Feng suddenly felt a sense of tension and excitement spreading through his heart.

　"earthquake?"

　Bai Feng felt the rocks beneath her feet shaking. Just as she was considering the possibility of an earthquake, the shaking became stronger and stronger. Bai Feng was about to whistle to summon the pterosaur when she suddenly realized that it wasn't an earthquake. It seemed that a monster was moving underground, and the monster looked like it was about to emerge.

　With a deafening roar and a violent tremor, the colossal monster burst through the rock face and emerged from the ground. Its tongue flicked, its crimson eyes fixed intently on a certain direction in Thousand Sword Mountain. The monster's hard, crimson hide was covered in sharp, counter-clockwise-growing scales, while its back bore two rows of blade-like scales pointing forward, the largest of which could easily pierce through the rock face. The monster's powerful, crimson forelimbs gripped the mountainside firmly, its body twisting and leaving deep furrows in its wake. Sparks flew as its scorching scales rubbed against the rock, before it vanished.

　Bai Feng only reacted a while after the monster left, while the guide worms at his waist were still flying around wildly, completely oblivious.

　There was a hint that they were stopping. Bai Feng had never seen such a monster before, so he could only make a mental note of it and plan to ask the Grand Monk or the village chief of Xinaer Village when he got back.

　The monster seemed to have gone far away, and the guide worm at Bai Feng's waist finally calmed down. Bai Feng immediately collected some materials such as the scales and scale powder of the Reincarnated Lord before it molted. Just as she turned to leave, the guide worm at her waist turned red again. Bai Feng was just about to figure out what kind of monster had appeared here when she saw the monster she had been searching for all along, the Reincarnated Lord.

　The two claws of the Revenant were casually placed on either side of its body. It was the privilege of the Revenant Dragon not to retract its claws. Bai Feng immediately took out the Silver Rathalos Bow, which was made primarily from materials from the Silver Rathalos and Azure Rathalos. After inserting a Power Bottle, Bai Feng immediately took out a Flashbang from his pocket, attached it to the projectile, and fired the Flashbang at the Revenant. A dazzling flash then covered everything in the scene.

　After being directly hit in the eyes by the flash, the Reincarnated One did not run around wildly or extend its claws randomly like an ordinary monster after letting out a cry. Its scales were like a second sense for the Reincarnated One. The Reincarnated One then spewed the Mad Dragon Virus at the ground, but at this moment, Bai Feng had already shot out its grappling hook, which tightly wedged itself in the gap between the Reincarnated One's scales, and then pulled itself toward the Reincarnated One's head.

　As Bai Feng drew his arrow and slashed it past Hui Shi Zhu's head, he drew his bowstring taut in mid-air and fired the arrow at Hui Shi Zhu. "Roar!" Hui Shi Zhu let out a short roar. Just as Bai Feng landed, a Mad Dragon Virus Ball arrived at his feet. Bai Feng hurriedly rolled backward to dodge Hui Shi Zhu's breath, then raised the Silver Fire Dragon Bow and forcefully pulled back the bowstring with the arrow. The power that had been stored up to its limit was suddenly released in the next instant.

　The arrows sparked a string of sparks as they rubbed against the scales of the Resurrected Lord. Upon regaining its sight, the Resurrected Lord immediately opened its massive jaws and lunged at Bai Feng. Bai Feng had no choice but to pull back the bowstring of the Silver Fire Dragon Bow to build up its power while simultaneously increasing the distance between itself and the Resurrected Lord. The Resurrected Lord leaped back into the air, then turned and extended its wing claws to charge towards Bai Feng.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: When researching, some sources said that Thousand Swords Mountain is the highest peak in the Barbare Guild, and others said it's very close to Sky Mountain. However, Barbare and Thousand Swords Mountain are separated by the Remnant Ridge, the Tros Forest, and an ocean, which is a bit odd.

　Volume 1: Chapter 242 - The Serpent Emperor Dragon "Tricked"

　Bai Feng quickly rolled to dodge Hui Shi Zhu's aerial dive, then used his left foot as a pivot, kneeling and turning around rapidly. Hui Shi Zhu's wing claws easily pierced through the nearby rock, pulling out a large amount of rubble as they were pulled out. Bai Feng used even more force to draw back the bowstring of the Silver Fire Dragon Bow to gather power. Before Bai Feng could release the bowstring, Hui Shi Zhu, having regained its sight, had already turned around and slammed its wing claws towards Bai Feng.

　Bai Feng's memory ended there. When she opened her eyes again, she was already lying in bed. Just as Bai Feng was about to get up, pain surged into her brain like a tidal wave. Bai Feng had no choice but to grit her teeth and lie back down. The Deviljho Spirit came in happily after hearing the sound. "Aibo, you're awake. What happened?"

　Yes, what happened? Bai Feng looked at the bandages on his body and tried hard to recall.

　She remembered that she first encountered that enormous creature in Thousand Swords Mountain, and then suddenly ran into the Reincarnated Lord when she was leaving. In order to investigate the Reincarnated Lord's ecology, Bai Feng took out a flashbang. While the Reincarnated Lord was dizzy from the flashbang, Bai Feng wanted to take the opportunity to fire a volley of bullets. Unexpectedly, the Reincarnated Lord had already locked onto her through its scales. Its huge wing claws then slammed Bai Feng into the ground. Then the ground exploded, and she completely lost consciousness.

　At Thousand Swords Mountain, Lanmei noticed that the little girl looked a bit unhappy, so she reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek, saying, "What's wrong, Xiaoguang? Are you hungry?"

　The little girl shook her head, pouted, and said, "There's a bad guy. He's bullying Guang." She had sensed a strange creature appearing in Thousand Sword Mountain, but she was stunned by the flashbang as soon as she arrived. However, she quickly recovered, located the bad guy's position by following the scale powder, and then extended her wing claws to smash it.

　"It must be a hunter. Humans are all the same, none of them are any good."

　On the other side, the Serpent Emperor Dragon, emerging from the ground, is still in its youth, less than 100 meters long. It is searching for the creature that lured it out of the ground. Biologically speaking, the Serpent Emperor Dragon cannot be considered a true subspecies of the Serpent King Dragon. The Serpent Emperor Dragon is actually the Serpent King Dragon after it has molted. Because of the Serpent King Dragon's extremely unstable metabolic system, its entire carapace turns a ferocious crimson red after molting, and its temperament becomes even more violent. The Serpent King Dragon lives its entire life underground. Like the Xeno'jiiva, it feeds on life energy. Moreover, if hunters are lucky enough to see the entire ley lines, they will find the Serpent King Dragons, which live deep underground as many as earthworms.

　The serpent-dragon, winding its way through the valley, quickly found...

　Having taken the place of the young girl, the Serpent Emperor Dragon spun its body and "stood" up from the mountain peak. The Serpent Emperor Dragon possessed a special bone called the [Whirlpool Bone], which endowed it with extremely powerful physical strength. Its savage physical strength was enough to allow the Serpent Emperor Dragon to wrap its body around the mountain peak while opening its blood-red maw to bite at the young girl and Lan Mei. The Serpent Emperor Dragon's massive body crashed into the mountain wall, and at the same time, the powerful impact caused the incomplete and broken scales on the Serpent Emperor Dragon's body to fall off like snowflakes.

　Having missed its target, the Serpent Emperor Dragon, its forked tongue flicking, climbed back up the mountainside. Compared to its nearly 100-meter length, the Reincarnated Lord and the Azure Dragon in the sky seemed rather insignificant. "Roar~" Upon spotting the Reincarnated Lord and the Azure Dragon, the Serpent Emperor Dragon's crimson eyes stared intently at them like black holes, then it let out an angry roar. "Awooo~" The Reincarnated Lord and the Azure Dragon also roared in unison, and the surrounding sky instantly became overcast, with a light drizzle beginning to fall.

　The Resurrected One flapped its wings and pounced on the Serpent Emperor Dragon. The Serpent Emperor Dragon also shook its triangular head and bit at the Resurrected One. Although the Serpent Emperor Dragon's body was nearly a hundred meters long, its claws were not even as thick as the Resurrected One's wing claws. The Resurrected One did not collide directly with the Serpent Emperor Dragon. Instead, it adjusted its posture, grabbed the two largest fan-shaped blades on the Serpent Emperor Dragon's back, and slammed it into the ground. The Resurrected One then spat out a Mad Dragon Virus Ball under the Serpent Emperor Dragon. After letting out a short roar, the Serpent Emperor Dragon twisted its body and swung its tail at the Resurrected One. The top of the Serpent Emperor Dragon's tail had a tail shell that was as sharp as the fan blades and shaped like a fork. The powerful tail swung immediately lifted up the entire rock mass.

　After hovering for a few moments, the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere exploded. At the same time, the Lord of Reincarnation pounced on the head of the Serpent Emperor Dragon again. The Serpent Emperor Dragon twisted its body to dodge the Lord of Reincarnation's bite, then roared angrily and bit at the Lord of Reincarnation, curling up its body to try to strangle it. The Lord of Reincarnation spat the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere at the ground and then flapped its wings to fly into the air. Just as the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere was about to explode, the Serpent Emperor Dragon swallowed it.

　The Serpent Emperor Dragon raised its head and let out an angry roar. Blood-red light suddenly emerged from the gaps in the sword scales on its chest. The Serpent Emperor Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a tornado-like breath at the World Lord. The pale breath instantly turned the rocks on the mountaintop red-hot, and the rocks then exploded. At the same time, Lanlong noticed a new situation in the sky. Pale white glowing meteorites began to fall from the dark cloud-covered sky, accompanied by specks of light. The meteorites varied in size, and the Serpent Emperor Dragon seemed to be able to control the meteorites with its own will.

　The Wandering Lord, nimbly flying through the mountains, easily dodged the Serpent Emperor Dragon's tornado breath. Seeing the Serpent Emperor Dragon enter a state of rage, the Wandering Lord let out a high-pitched roar, and a pale blue light flashed on its chest. After the Serpent Emperor Dragon stopped breathing, the Wandering Lord opened its mouth and spat out a pale blue beam of light at the Serpent Emperor Dragon.

　The Serpent Emperor Dragon hurriedly twisted its body and used its enormous sword scales, known as the Fan Blade, to block the Reincarnation Lord's breath. The scorching energy breath instantly turned the Fan Blade red-hot and even white. Although the Serpent Emperor Dragon also consumed life energy, it did so in a different way. The Serpent Emperor Dragon had no choice but to control a meteorite to smash into the Reincarnation Lord, which stopped the Reincarnation Lord's beam attack.

　The scorching hot fan blades rose up in a cloud of white steam upon contact with the rain. The Serpent Emperor Dragon twisted its body as it crawled along the mountainside, its sword scales and fan blades easily slicing through the rock. After a roar, the Serpent Emperor Dragon used its tail to whip up rocks and fling them at the Reincarnated Lord, simultaneously unleashing a pale tornado of breath at him. The Reincarnated Lord quickly gained altitude, dodging the Serpent Emperor Dragon's tornado of breath, and then dodged the falling meteorites before rapidly approaching the Serpent Emperor Dragon.

　The Serpent Emperor Dragon opened its mouth to bite the Reincarnation Lord, but the Reincarnation Lord aimed not at the Serpent Emperor Dragon's head, but at its chest, the so-called "seven-inch spot" of a snake, which is the chest shell that emitted an ominous red light. Although the Serpent Emperor Dragon's chest shell was hard, the Reincarnation Lord's wing claws were not without their advantages.

　With a "plop," the Wanderer's wing claws pierced deeply into the Serpent Emperor Dragon's chest, and dragon blood gushed out. The Wanderer then swung its tail and pierced the Serpent Emperor Dragon's wound. The tail, covered with sharp thorns, immediately widened the wound, and dragon blood was instantly splattered all over the Wanderer's body.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Speaking of which, while researching, I came across the information that the Serpent King Dragon in the Rotten Vale is actually an Ancient species. Considering the descriptions in the materials from 4G and the Five Dragons creation myth, it's quite possible that they are indeed connected. However, even the Creation Dragon couldn't stop the Bone Hammer Dragon and others from racing and drifting around the Serpent King's grave.

　Volume 1: 243 - Snake meat is a great tonic

　Before the tail of the Reincarnation Lord pierced the heart of the Serpent Emperor Dragon, the Serpent Emperor Dragon frantically twisted its body, trying to strangle the Reincarnation Lord. The Reincarnation Lord did not linger in the fight, tearing a large chunk of flesh from the Serpent Emperor Dragon's abdomen and flying away before being surrounded. The Serpent Emperor Dragon knew that if it could not force back this dazzling creature, it would die at its hands sooner or later. The Serpent Emperor Dragon immediately gathered its strength and once again spewed out a pale white tornado breath.

　Hui Shi Zhu flapped its wings, rising rapidly to dodge the Serpent Emperor Dragon's breath. Unexpectedly, the Serpent Emperor Dragon changed the form of its breath, the tornado-like breath instantly transforming into a spherical one. Hui Shi Zhu spat out an extremely thin beam of pale blue light, slicing the pale breath in two. The breath then exploded. The Serpent Emperor Dragon manipulated a meteorite to strike Hui Shi Zhu again. Hui Shi Zhu dodged the meteorite by turning its body to the side and spat out another beam of pale blue light. The beam struck the Serpent Emperor Dragon's back, shattering its hard steel scales in pieces. As Hui Shi Zhu gritted its teeth and closed its mouth, the explosion of the beam blasted the Serpent Emperor Dragon's back into a bloody mess.

　"Aow!" The Serpent Emperor Dragon let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. The Lord of Reincarnation swooped down without hesitation, its wing claws forcefully digging into the wound on the Serpent Emperor Dragon's back. As the Serpent Emperor Dragon twisted, the Lord of Reincarnation's wing claws had already torn apart the lungs and arteries near the Serpent Emperor Dragon's back. The Serpent Emperor Dragon was still trying its best to wrap its arms around the Lord of Reincarnation's body, but the foul-smelling dragon blood rich in paralyzing toxins was already gushing from the Serpent Emperor Dragon's mouth. With its lungs damaged, the Serpent Emperor Dragon's twisting strength gradually weakened.

　The Reincarnation Lord spun and leaped to one side, suddenly raising its head and taking a deep breath. Pale blue flames shot out, burning the ground until it was red-hot and even melting it. At the same time, it struck the wound that the Reincarnation Lord had torn open with its wing claws. The bloody wound revealed the beating heart and other organs inside. The Serpent Emperor Dragon twisted its body frantically, trying to escape, while spewing out a pale white tornado of breath. After dodging the breath, the Reincarnation Lord stretched out its wing claws and crushed the Serpent Emperor Dragon's heart.

　In its final moments, the Serpent Emperor Dragon roared and struggled to lift its body before crashing heavily to the ground. After this fierce battle, the Lord of the World was also hungry. After letting out a few urgent roars, the Azure Dragon swam to the Lord of the World's side, took a deep breath of water, and then used its sharp water-cutting breath to slice the Serpent Emperor Dragon's body into dozens of pieces. The Lord of the World grabbed a piece, tore off the Serpent Emperor Dragon's steel scales, and devoured its flesh. The Azure Dragon also picked a suitable piece of meat and began to tear it apart. The Lord of the World could eat no more after eating four pieces, while the Azure Dragon only ate one piece.

　A flash of light, and the young girl packed up the remaining snake meat pieces. Lan Mei, meanwhile, rubbed her stomach; the meat of the ancient dragon was incredibly nourishing for her, and she had easily overeaten. As for the steel scales and the head of the Serpent Emperor Dragon, she had no interest in them.

　Several days later, when the hunter team arrived at the place, they found only a scene of devastation. The ground was covered with huge marks and conspicuous claw marks. The Deviljho Spirit looked around with great interest. The huge marks on the ground were as smooth as if someone had used a heated knife to cut butter. There were two kinds of claw marks. One kind was obviously the claw mark of the World Lord, while the other kind was unknown.

　Following the trail of the guide insect, Bai Feng saw dragon scales shimmering with a metallic sheen on the ground. He picked up the grayish-brown scales and, judging from their shape and color, was certain that they belonged to the monster that had emerged from the ground, which he had witnessed firsthand. The Deviljho spirit beside him excitedly waved to Bai Feng, indicating that she had also made a discovery there. Bai Feng walked over and saw fragments that looked like blades. After careful comparison, Bai Feng confirmed that these scales were indeed the same blade-like scales on the monster's back.

　After receiving Bai Feng's explanation, the Deviljho Spirit immediately took out its notebook to record the information, then turned to the next page and made some modifications to the monster's sketch.

　“Here it is, and then like this, Aibo. I’ve compared it with all the scales I’ve seen before, but I haven’t found any strange scales that correspond to this one. It seems I’ll have to ask the High Priest.”

　As the search expanded, Bai Feng and his companions also found some scale powder and dried dragon blood. As soon as Bai Feng reached out to touch the dried dragon blood, he felt a tingling sensation on his fingers. He immediately pulled his fingers back, realizing that the dragon blood was poisonous. Bai Feng had no choice but to use a dagger to scrape off the dragon blood powder and put it into a bottle.

　After searching, Bai Feng was able to confirm that a fight had taken place between the monster and the Reincarnated Lord, and judging from the current situation, the Reincarnated Lord had not suffered any losses.

　After returning to Xinard Village, Bai Feng took out the scales and placed them on the table. He then told the High Monk about the situation. After thinking for a moment, the High Monk told them that what Bai Feng had seen was the Serpent Emperor Dragon, known as the Immortal Emperor of All Ages. The Thousand Sword Mountain, where they lived, was a sacred place in the Xinard Village area. However, according to Bai Feng's description, the Serpent Emperor Dragon seemed to be quite young.

　Why did the Serpent Emperor Dragon fight against the Lord of Reincarnation? Did the Lord of Reincarnation stay in Xinard Village waiting for the Serpent Emperor Dragon, or did the Lord of Reincarnation's appearance awaken the Serpent Emperor Dragon? After Bai Feng thought of one question, a series of questions followed. But now, perhaps the only way to solve these problems is to defeat the Lord of Reincarnation.

　What, you mean, you're talking about attacking the Lord of Reincarnation?

　Bai Feng immediately shook her head in denial. After that encounter, she knew very well how terrifying the Lord of the Underworld was, who possessed the power of the Crimson Dragon. Not to mention that they had not yet found any trace of the Lord of the Underworld, even if they did find any trace of the Lord of the Underworld, they did not know anything about the Lord of the Underworld's ecological habits. Bai Feng did not think that Xinaer Village was in a position to attack the Lord of the Underworld.

　Across the sea from the village of Sinard lies the lush, verdant Tros Forest. Beside the waters within the forest sits a decaying ruin. Details of the ruin...

　The situation remains a mystery. In the dense forest, the hollow mountain has formed caves of various sizes, and the environment inside the caves changes with the seasons. These changes often cause mutations in the beetles in the dense forest.

　A heavy beetle covered in a thick, green carapace is hunting in the dense forest. Despite its seemingly clumsy appearance, this beetle is a female member of the family Celtatus in the suborder Carnivora. The male, called the Thorny Beetle, is much smaller than the wingless or elytra-less heavy beetle and is an extremely adept flier. Nearby, a herd of armored dragons is drinking at the stream, providing a perfect opportunity for the slow-moving heavy beetle.

　The Heavy Beetle has organs that store large amounts of water. When hunting, it compresses the water inside its body, and the terrifying penetrating force of the high-pressure water cannon it exhales knocks a Kabuto to the ground. Just as the Heavy Beetle extends its crescent-shaped tail to cut the Kabuto in half and enjoy its meal, a huge shadow falls from the sky and crushes the Heavy Beetle's body. The Lord of Reincarnation disgustedly shakes the green juice off its feet. The nearby Thorn Beetle was about to avenge the Heavy Beetle when the Lord of Reincarnation plucked off its sharp horn. Thus, both insects met their end.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: I revisited the Serpent King Dragon and Serpent Emperor Dragon when I had some free time. I have to say, the sense of oppression they created upon first encounter was truly amazing. It's a pity they were part of the story mode, but it seems like the Wildlands expansion might feature a similar Serpent Dragon. I hope Capcom can make it real-time; that would be incredibly exciting!

　Volume 1: Chapter 244 - The Rebel of Electricity

　Bai Feng should perhaps thank the Serpent Emperor Dragon for dispelling some of the young girl's resentment; otherwise, he would have to be careful of the Reincarnated Lord who might suddenly appear during the mission.

　【A passionate love affair uncovered? The secrets of the dragon?】 This is the quest Fredio just accepted.

　Fredio carefully navigated the dense forest, referring to the parchment in his hand. The person who commissioned the quest was a local maid, who blushed and said that she had seen a Rathalos and a female Rathian dating in the Tros Forest. Cross-species romances are destined to be unacceptable, and if things continue like this, they will inevitably cause even greater scandals and turmoil among the dragons. To avoid such a situation, the maid eagerly asked the hunter to do something. As a hunter who had just graduated from the Dragon Academy, Fredio happily accepted the quest.

　As for why, he was also very curious about the gossip between the male and female Rathalos. Back in the Dragon Academy, Fredio had heard many rumors about the female Rathalos, such as the female Rathalos and the Great Jaggi giving birth to the Black Wolf Bird. Moreover, when members of the Scribes' Team were investigating in an unknown forest, they witnessed the Thousand Blades "night raiding" the female Rathalos. There were even rumors that the Dragon Slayer ran away from the Old World to the New World just to chase after Mrs. Rathalos.

　In the dense forest, a large flying dragon monster covered in black and gold carapace was flapping its wings. Sharp, dagger-like protrusions grew on its carapace, and strange patterns covered the translucent membranes of its wings. Its head even had a crown-like organ resembling a blade. With a hissing sound as the monster flapped its scales, the giant beaks circling around it fell to the ground. The monster bit down on the fattest beak and swallowed it in two or three bites. At that moment, a team of Blue Velociraptors, hunting for food, happened to enter the area.

　The Blue Velociraptor King let out a loud roar to announce the discovery of food nearby. As the weakest of the Velociraptors, the Blue Velociraptor King places greater emphasis on teamwork during hunts. As the leader, the Blue Velociraptor King uses its powerful body to pin down the prey, then commands the other Velociraptors to tear at its carcass. The Blue Velociraptor King walked to the fallen giant behemoth and gently touched it. Seeing no reaction, the Blue Velociraptor King confidently called its companions forward. Just then, a loud roar suddenly echoed through the air, and a monster flapped its wings and charged towards the Blue Velociraptor King.

　The monster's claws are uniquely designed, with one claw pointing forward and two pointing downward. When it launches a downward slashing attack, it can often severely injure the enemy.

　The Blue Velocidrome's neck was pierced directly by the monster's wing claws, and it died on the spot. The other two Blue Velocidromes didn't even have time to react before the monster's tail flung them away. The monster bit into the Blue Velocidrome's belly, forcefully tearing off its flesh and swallowing it whole.

　When Fredio arrived at the quest marker, he only saw a very conspicuous monster sleeping there. Fredio immediately recognized it as an electric dragon. It made sense; the female Rathian was weak to lightning, so he couldn't get close to the electric dragon. Fredio skillfully crouched down and quickly walked to the electric dragon's head, unloaded the large explosive barrels G from his backpack, piled them all on the dragon's head, then placed a small explosive barrel next to it and immediately lit the fuse. Sparks flew out.

　Fredio immediately moved away from the dragon's head, and almost as soon as he was out of danger, the two large Barrel Bombs G were detonated by the smaller Barrel Bombs, with a deafening roar even louder than the dragon's roar.

　With a roar, the scales on the electric dragon's head were instantly blasted and twisted, and dragon blood immediately seeped out from the gaps between the scales. The electric dragon angrily flapped its wings and let out a loud roar. Fredio immediately raised the horned dragon armor, used the shield in his right hand to protect his vitals, and charged towards the electric dragon.

　After charging up, the short sword struck the electric dragon's scales with a loud clang, sending sparks flying. The dragon's scales were only slightly deflected and bled a little. Looking at the energy stored in the short sword, Fredio knew he had to strike again. Just as Fredio raised his Diablos Armor, the electric dragon vibrated its scales, and its long tail, which split into two like pincers, lashed out at Fredio's side.

　Fredio quickly dodged the electric dragon's tail swipe by diving into the nearby bushes. The electric dragon vibrated its scales and roared, its chest puffing out. The roar echoed throughout the cave, even causing the air to vibrate. Electric dragons, which occupy the upper ecological niche, are extremely ferocious and will prey on any living creature that enters their field of vision. At this moment, emerald green electricity surged from the electric dragon's body, and green lightning blades appeared on the crown-like organs on its head. Its previously monochromatic wings were now wrapped in dazzling fluorescent electricity. Then, the electric dragon swung its head and charged towards Fredio.

　Each of the electric dragon's horn slashes was accompanied by sharp lightning. Fredio had no choice but to shove his short sword into his shield and roll around to dodge the dragon's horn slashes. Just when Fredio thought the electric dragon's attack was over, the dragon immediately slashed down vertically with its horn. The ground exploded, and a bright green lightning blade rushed towards Fredio.

　Fredio immediately raised his shield to block the electric dragon's lightning blades. Fortunately, the horned dragon's armor and heavy shell blocked most of the current. Even so, Fredio felt his arm go numb for a moment. The electric dragon roared, flapped its wings, and flew into the air. Then it stretched out its tail and plunged it into the ground, whereupon a large patch of emerald green lightning appeared. Seeing the lightning constantly accumulating on the ground, Fredio didn't bother to drink the nutrient potion and immediately rolled away. The ground was then blasted apart by the intense lightning.

　The attack didn't stop. The electric dragon raised one of its wing claws, charged up, and slammed it down on Fredio. Fredio activated the mechanism on his shield axe, using the opportunity of the axe breaking down and transforming to dodge the electric dragon's attack and slash at its wing claw. The electric dragon jumped back a step, and then slammed down on its other wing claw. Fredio raised his shield to block the electric dragon's charged slam, then combined his sword with the shield, transferring energy into the shield and taking the opportunity to activate the shield's enhanced mode.

　Fredio adjusted his breathing, and without stopping, rolled and jumped back to dodge the electric dragon's horn slashes and tail whips, while continuously slashing at the dragon with his sword. When the electric dragon once again spewed out a ball of plasma breath, Fredio raised his shield to block the dragon's breath. He then switched his Charge Blade to Axe mode, pulled back the hilt, and released all the energy stored in his shield at once. As the shield spun, a super-powerful Elemental Release Slash landed on the electric dragon's head.

　The spinning axe blade sliced ​​through the electric dragon's scales, and a large amount of blood flowing from the wound instantly stained a large area of ​​the ground around the electric dragon deep red. In its rage, the electric dragon's wings and crown vibrated at a high frequency, and the electric dragon activated its piezoelectric armor to the maximum, entering a "charge state".

　PS: First update!

　PS2: From an ecological perspective, the fact that the electric dragon doesn't raise its young suggests that it has already eliminated all potentially dangerous creatures in the surrounding area, allowing it to confidently leave its offspring to fend for themselves. After all, it hasn't gone extinct despite all that.

　PS3: I'd like to recommend a book called "Knights Begin with My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU".

　Volume 1: 245 - It's all the hunter's fault!

　The enraged electric dragon tore through the tree canopy and charged straight at the hunter. What happened? Because the despicable hunter used a flashbang.

　Freddie had intended to launch an attack while the electric dragon was distracted by the flashbang, unleashing another high-output elemental release slash. However, Freddie clearly underestimated the electric dragon's ferocity. The dragon gave Freddie no chance, spitting out four lightning balls that instantly enveloped the surrounding area. At the same time, the dragon's wings and crest vibrated at a high frequency again, and a huge plasma ball shot towards Freddie. His arm still felt numb, so Freddie had to roll to dodge and create distance between himself and the electric dragon.

　By this time, the electric dragon had recovered from the dizziness caused by the flashbang. Its angry roar echoed throughout the forest. The electric dragon flapped its wings and flew into the air, then raised its tail to slam down on Fredio. Although Fredio dodged the slam attack, the electric dragon's tail had a freely movable pincer structure, and it was now electrified by the piezoelectric armor. A stream of emerald green electricity shot out from the tip of its tail. Fredio slid to the side of the electric dragon, gripped his short sword in his left hand, and swung it down hard on the dragon's tail.

　The electric dragon leaped back a step, its talons, now charged, shimmering with an emerald green light. It then swung its talons at Fredio.

　Just as Dio raised his shield to block the first blow, the electric dragon's second wing claw strike landed. Although Freddie stopped his attack in time and raised his shield, he was still knocked away because he lost his footing. The electric current on the wing claws immediately paralyzed Freddie's body. As Freddie struggled to get up from the ground, the electric dragon lowered its body, its wings flapping incessantly, and fluorescent light flashing on its translucent wing membranes. The electric dragon leaped towards Freddie with its hind legs, and its charged wing claws released a large amount of electricity on the ground.

　Freddie struggled with all his might to safety, then took out the nutrient solution G and drank it. The bitter but slightly sweet taste immediately made Freddie feel better. The electric dragon lying on the ground let out a low growl, then spun around and flew into the sky. After flapping its wings rapidly in the air, it swooped down on Freddie. Freddie immediately rolled to avoid the electric dragon's swooping attack, but this was not a swooping attack. Using the momentum of the swooping attack, the electric dragon used its wing claws as a fulcrum to rotate its body 360 degrees, then swung its tail at Freddie. Compared to the electric dragon, Freddie's thin body was like a thrown stone, sent flying, then crashed into the mountainside and slid down.

　On the other side, after washing away the disgusting insect fluids, Hui Shi Zhu took out a piece of Snake Emperor Dragon meat and began to eat. After having a hearty snake meat feast, Hui Shi Zhu and Lan Mei found a nice spot and began preparing for sleep. Hui Shi Zhu tucked his left wing claw under his head and his tail under his wing membrane, while his right wing claw was casually placed in front of him. Lan Mei was held beneath Hui Shi Zhu, her soft wing membrane covering her perfectly. Hui Shi Zhu had just curled up into a ball, ready to fall asleep. He believed that no one would be so foolish as to attack them at this moment, unless...

　As the electric dragon lunged at him with its tail, Fredio desperately bit through the secret medicine. After calming his breathing, Fredio immediately ran away from the onrushing electric dragon. The electric dragon glared with its emerald green eyes and leaped backward, charging up before swooping down to the ground. Its wings and claws, crackling with electricity, slammed against the ground. Fredio could only run quickly to dodge the electric dragon's attacks.

　After its attack missed, the enormous electric dragon soared back into the sky. From deep within its throat, it roared and spread its wings to their fullest extent, the iridescent membranes refracting beautiful colors in the sunlight. Adjusting its body, the dragon charged at Fredio like a cannonball. Fredio narrowly dodged the dragon's bite. Just when Fredio thought the attack was over, the dragon suddenly raised its body, letting out a high-pitched roar. All the scales on its body stood on end, releasing all the electricity stored in its piezoelectric shell and unleashing a wide-ranging electric shock. Unable to dodge in time, Fredio was thrown back and crashed into something hard.

　Fredio struggled to his feet, his eyes immediately drawn to the platinum scales, followed by the thick, dark purple mist on the ground. Before Fredio could figure out what was happening, the Lord of the World noticed the electric dragon beside him. "Roar~" The electric dragon spread its wings, spinning into the air, then stretched out its tail to clamp down on the Lord of the World. After standing up, the Lord of the World directly extended its wing claws and grabbed the electric dragon's neck, then slammed the diving electric dragon to the ground. The electric dragon then let out a miserable cry.

　Fredio carefully hid directly beneath the belly of the Wanderer. His only impression of the Wanderer was that it was huge, several times larger than the largest dragon he had ever seen. Fredio, whose attention was entirely focused on the electric dragon and this strange monster, did not notice that the place where he was located was covered with scales, and that he had already inhaled a large amount of scales.

　The Reincarnation Lord bit the electric dragon's neck and rubbed it against the ground. Deprived of its electric charge state, the electric dragon was powerless against the Reincarnation Lord. The Reincarnation Lord's sharp fangs easily pierced the electric dragon's scales. As blood gushed out, the electric dragon struggled desperately to escape from the Reincarnation Lord's grasp. However, this electric dragon was only nineteen meters long, and it had no chance of succeeding against the forty-meter-long Reincarnation Lord. Once locked on by the Reincarnation Lord's fangs or wing claws, death was the only path awaiting it.

　The Revenant bit through the electric dragon's neck, tearing off its head with a slight effort. The gushing dragon blood instantly splattered across the land, landing on Fredio. Watching the electric dragon die so easily at the hands of this platinum-colored monster, Fredio held his breath, forgetting to wipe the blood from his body. At that moment, Fredio was contemplating how to escape the monster's clutches when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pale pink human figure. But when he turned his head, he only saw a thicket of bushes. Then, as Fredio realized what was happening, the sky suddenly brightened.

　Fredio finally had a chance to see the god-like monster clearly. Fredio instinctively wanted to run away, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt dizzy. Before Fredio could figure out what was going on, the World Lord spat out the Mad Dragon Virus Ball. Looking at the thick fog, Fredio had no time to dodge and could only stand there and wait for the Palico rescue team.

　"What stupid humans," Lanmei remarked without any restraint.

　The little girl munched on the electric dragon meat. There wasn't much meat on the electric dragon, but tearing off pieces from its thighs, back, and wings was enough for her as a snack. "It's sour."

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Speaking of which, the electric dragon even gives the hunter a finishing blow after it dies, which is kind of cute? Poor Frufru even had its name stolen.

　Volume 1: Chapter 246 - The Great Demon Clan and the Goblins

　In the midday Jura Forest, a silent conflict was unfolding. A pink-haired demon with two horns on her forehead dodged a goblin's attack by leaping back, then exhaled a thin mist. The goblin that had attacked her immediately collapsed to the ground, "Awooo!" A giant gray wolf leaped down from the treetops and lunged at the pink-haired demon. The black-haired and blue-haired demons nearby immediately rushed to the pink-haired demon with hammers and twin swords, blocking the wolf's attack. The wolf then leaped away, conjuring a whirlwind that sent the two demons flying.

　On the other side, the purple-haired demon raised his flail and smashed it down on another group of goblins. Although the leader of the goblins was strong, he was no match for the superior demon race and could only jump back to dodge the demon's flail. The red-haired demon took the opportunity to draw his katana and split the goblins into two groups. The goblins also realized the demons' intentions. After exchanging glances, a short goblin raised his wooden club and charged at the seemingly weakest, old white-haired demon. The white-haired demon slightly opened his eyes and quickly swung his short sword. The sharp blade easily broke through the goblin's defense and left a bloody gash on the goblin's chest.

　Harassed by the pink-haired demons, only a gray wolf and two goblins remained on the scene. Just as the gray wolf sent out a distress signal, a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away. Both groups stopped their actions at the same time and stared nervously at the bushes. Although the gray wolf was curious as to why its master had arrived here as soon as it sent out the distress signal, it knew that as long as its master was here, the demons would not pose a threat.
