Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

"Grandma Pear!"

Several Mori people ran forward and protected the old man with their bodies. They gritted their teeth and suppressed their fear and stared at Mercer.

Lizi pushed away the crowd protecting her and continued to take two steps forward until she stopped in front of the flames that surrounded them.

"Don't stop me, it was talking to us just now. As long as we communicate..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Mercer's huge dragon head suddenly came towards her. She was so frightened that Li Zi opened her eyes wide and stepped back a few steps, sitting on the ground in embarrassment.

"This is revenge! Humans!" A fierce voice sounded in her head, as if they were going to be slaughtered in the next second: "I will return all the pain you gave me to you! Let you shed the last drop of blood in mourning ! You will never be liberated at the end of your life!"

"I..." Lizi looked up at the giant dragon, her voice trembling: "I don't remember when we have offended you..."

"Hehehe..." Black Dragon grinned and let out a cruel smile: "You have forgotten, but I have not forgotten!"

He suddenly spread his wings, and thick black mist was released, covering everyone.

The mist was so thick that it was even difficult for them to see the people nearby.

"this is......"

Some people looked around in horror, seeming to remember something.

"That gray miasma?!"

"Are you..." Hearing everyone's voices, Li Zi raised her head and looked at Mercer in disbelief through the black fog: "The son of the gray scale dragon?"

The gray-scaled dragon was only about 20 meters tall when it was stretched to death. The black dragon back then was only about ten meters long. How did it become such a behemoth? !

"——I'm back from hell!" The black dragon roared, with a fierce light in his eyes.

"Twenty years ago, I survived, just waiting for this day. I will not let you die, but I will make you suffer a punishment more terrifying than death!"

Under Mercer's roar, everyone felt the temperature around them getting hotter.

"The first person starts with you!"

A shout of panic rang out from around him, followed immediately by a piercing cry.

"Wow ah-"

When the black mist dissipated slightly, people saw a Mori being furious and incompetent towards the black dragon, while the black dragon was holding a baby in his hands.

"Let go of my child!"

The forest man pushed aside the crowd, came to the flames, and shouted to Mercer:

"Whatever you want to do, just attack me! Don't touch my child!"

Hearing these words, Mercer really stopped moving, but he did not let go of the baby in his hands, but looked down at the Mori man below him:

"The attack 20 years ago pierced my body and hurt my heart! Then answer me, what do I need to do to make you feel heartbroken? It is more heartbreaking than taking away your child!"

"I -" Morito's lips trembled. He stared at Mercer closely, gritted his teeth, and his face slowly twisted. Finally, he knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, and tears overflowed from his eyes:

"Please, let the child go...I can do whatever you want..."

"I can do anything I want you to do...haha -" Heilong laughed. This was not a voice that directly sounded in his head, but he actually opened his mouth and let out a low wild laugh.

"——I want you to be my servant! You will never be free for generations to come! Serve me forever and ever!"

He waved his hand violently, and the flames pressed toward them again.

"I——" The forest man looked up at the baby in Mercer's hand and shouted without any hesitation: "I agree!"

The words fell, but the persecution of the flames did not stop.

"why?!"

The forest man shouted, followed by Mercer's ferocious laughter: "Your allegiance alone is meaningless, I want the obedience of all of you!"

"——We are willing to be your servants!" When the flames were about to burn a Morinto, Lizi stood up again and shouted sternly: "So please let us go!"

"You?" Mercer narrowed his eyes, his tone full of doubt.

"Why are you qualified to represent them?"

He opened his hands and his tone was full of arrogance: "Kneel down before me, I agree to your surrender!"

Hearing these words, Lizi took a deep breath, stood in front and knelt down decisively, slowly lowering her head.

When the villagers standing behind her saw this, they also knelt down and looked around, but no one was standing.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Everyone heard the black dragon's wild laughter, and saw the black mist sweeping across, bringing up strong winds. The high temperature brought by the flames dropped, and the black dragon's voice rang in everyone's minds:

"In seven days, you will leave here, enjoy your final freedom, and prepare for your future life as a slave!"

Then, the sound slowly disappeared, and some brave people tried to raise their heads and look forward, only to find that the black dragon in front of them had disappeared, and the crying baby also returned to the forest man's side.

Chapter 2: The arrival of hope

Mercer flapped his wings in the air and flew away.

Threats and coercion, as well as Mercer's tone of bitterness and hatred, put the Sen people at a disadvantage in terms of momentum and felt that they owed Mercer, and finally subtly made them surrender successfully.

Mercer was not worried that they would regret it later. Although it was despicable for him to threaten the baby just now, once the Sen people went back on their word, then Mercer himself would be the one on the "just" side. He had every reason to make a fuss about this and force them to do something for him. work.

Words spoken are like water being thrown out. As long as the Mori people agree to surrender, then Mercer wins; and if they cooperate obediently, then Mercer still wins; but if they go back on their word afterwards, then Mercer wins big!

Mercer smiled sinisterly in the air, and his huge figure crossed the top of the tree, startling rows of birds.

......

In contrast to Mercer's cheerful mood, the atmosphere of the forest people on the other side was very depressed.

They tried to tidy up and find a place where they could discuss, but everything was destroyed by Mercer, and there was no place for people to live.

In desperation, they could only sit outside the house and sit around the bonfire in silence.

Looking at everyone, Lizi felt helpless. After she sighed, she took another sip of the nectar water in the cup, and finally said:

"...Everyone, what do you think of the request made by that black dragon?"

The surrounding forest people still didn't speak. It wasn't until after a while that someone raised his head slightly:

"How many weapons do we have?"

"It can't be defeated." Another person replied: "Twenty years ago, when its size was only about ten meters, we only defeated it with the help of a spaceship. But now it is impossible to defeat it."

"What's more, when we defeated the Fire Dragon couple, we had to use the entire village to defeat them. We had no chance of winning against the black dragon." Another Mori person also added.

"Then what should Qi do..." Hearing this, the former Sento lowered his head.

Lizi was silent and sighed: "To be honest, I don't have anything else to do."

"Lore and Kulu are on the floating island, right?" Someone seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Lore's friends are all hunters, right? Wouldn't it be nice to let her help the people around her?"

"You can't catch up." Lizi shook her head and lamented: "Seven days, no matter how fast it is, it won't go any faster, and Luo Er's friends are different from us. After 20 years, their physical fitness will never be restored. It’s past time.”

"Can we only be enslaved by the black dragon? After all, it's just our illusion..." When everyone was helpless, a Mori man finally covered his head and said dejectedly: "How can this happen in this world? Is there a beast that is talking to us? The request for these seven days must be false, right?"

He raised his head and looked at Lizi pleadingly: "As long as we spread out and escape, we will definitely survive. Then we stay in the forest and wait for the black dragon to leave, so we don't have to leave here!"

Hearing his words, Lizi was silent for a while, with a look of intolerance in her eyes, and finally shook her head firmly: "...No, this is not an illusion. Don't forget, Black Dragon killed Half the forest was set on fire, and now I believe its tactics will only become more decisive."

After the words fell, the crowd couldn't help but reveal an atmosphere of despair. In response, Lizi just lowered his head silently:

"Let's do this. I will leave a letter to Luo Er. She will come back here every few years. Maybe she will ask for help after seeing this letter, so that we can still have hope of regaining freedom after we are forced to leave here. ,How about it?"

"..." The forest people looked at each other and found that none of them had a better solution, so they could only nod their heads: "That's the only way."

After deciding on their future plans, although they were extremely reluctant, they dispersed one after another and began to prepare their luggage to leave here.

......

——Soon, seven days passed, and Mercer sat on the outside of the floating island port, peering out of the black mist to sense their presence.

Although the news about the energy source of the floating island has been selected by scholars and allowed Mercer to understand more about replenishing energy, the overall gain is not great.

In addition, the so-called "earth radiation syndrome" has been confirmed by several doctors to have this symptom. It is an incurable disease that has occurred since the [Catastrophe]. The main patients come from supplementary floating islands. Energy or people working in the floating island energy room.

It seems that Mercer has no hope, but Mercer thinks that is not the case, because from the beginning he has one thing that is different from those patients.

These patients who suffered from "Ley Vein Radiation Syndrome" all died within just a few months after the symptoms were confirmed, and no one even lived for more than half a year.

But Mercer was different. He had survived for nearly ten years relying on his own life. In addition, Red Phoenix informed him of the possibility of cure. Although the time was too long, it was still able to give Mercer the answer after several attempts. .

"The spaceship is ready..."

It was Root's words that awakened Mercer from his meditation.

At this time, a spaceship stopped at the port, and almost all the victims walked out of it, their eyes glowing with a different color than before.

In the past few days, the Direwolf Dragon has been searching for food under Mercer's orders, and has experienced what luxury is for the victims of food shortage.

And with the repair of the first spacecraft completed, they also saw the hope of leaving, and the atmosphere in the entire shipyard can be said to be very active.

Seeing the different eyes they were looking at him, Mercer remained unmoved and turned to look at Root:

"How's the crew?"

"As per your request, the crew members are all aboard and can take off at any time." Root replied honestly.

"Okay, let them follow me."

After Mercer finished speaking, he spread his wings and slowly flew up, flapping his wings and hovering in the air.

Immediately, the spacecraft slowly rose and followed Mercer.

Seeing this scene, the survivors couldn't help cheering, and some even had tears in their eyes, sitting on the ground and crying.

At first, they prayed to the illusory existence, but then they were in panic and fear when Mercer broke into the door.At that time, none of them believed that a giant dragon could lead them out of here. Some people even fled here despite the fear of the Wolf Dragon when Mercer was away, causing serious trouble to Amo's management.

But now, when the spacecraft takes off steadily, no one doubts what Mercer said.

Even if they are still afraid of Mercer's existence, no matter what, the group of survivors can at least settle down before they reach the Ice Vein Snowfield.

Chapter 2: Collection

The spaceship followed Mercer slowly into the forest and landed in the forest village.

"Gather your things and get on the boat."

Mercer landed on the ruined house nearby and stared at the forest people.

After confirming that their number had not changed, Mercer nodded and said indifferently.

"..." The forest people first frowned and looked at the spaceship in front of them suspiciously, then glanced at Mercer, and then lowered their heads and walked onto the spacecraft with reluctance.

They encountered a strong strangeness. If the black dragon hated them so much, why did it bring the spaceship over?Such an empty space on the spaceship... It's as if it was specially prepared for them.

——For what they were thinking, Mercer had already anticipated. He knew that apart from his face, which was suitable for being an evil dragon, many of his reasons for contacting the Morians were not rigorous. Once he met Mercer, Knowing something, the reason he made up at random was self-defeating.

But he didn't care, because Mercer's lies were not intended to continue for a long time. The more lies he told, the more lies he needed to make up for it. Instead of continuing like this, it was better to tear off the disguise after achieving his goal.

So as long as they are kidnapped...taken away, even if they are discovered later, these Mori people will be too late.

Mercer watched them walk onto the spaceship, the stairs to board the ship merged, a smile appeared on Mercer's face, and the black mist sensed the surroundings.

仐...There are traces of cleaning up everywhere. It's very good. You can start working immediately after returning to the Ice Vein Snowfield.

Mercer, who was thinking about how to exploit them, saw the spaceship taking off, spread his wings and flew towards the floating island.

......

Sitting on the spaceship, Li Zi's face was ashen, sitting aside, the other Mori people were more or less in the same situation.

"Old man, drink some water."

A crew member came to her and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you..." Lizi took the water bottle without thinking too much, but her brain was still groggy after drinking the water.

"Who are you...where are we going next?"

she asked breathlessly.

"We are the survivors of the Floating Island, and we are acting according to the Black Dragon's words. As for our future direction, we should return to the Floating Island."

"Floating Island?" Lizi frowned, confusion appearing in her eyes.

In her expectation, the black dragon would take them to a hell-like volcano, where they would be tortured physically and mentally every day. They were not superstitious, but facing a black dragon that could communicate with them, there was really no way to explain it scientifically. .
