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

——At first, it was just a small part of the space, but gradually it became enough for Mercer to move around in a small area while standing. After that, he ate faster and faster, and finally, after an unknown amount of time passed, he felt the space outside the cave. shock.

Mercer did not hesitate and pushed hard, knocking away the remaining rocks and soil in front of him, and climbed out of the collapsed mountain.

The light from the outside world caught Mercer's eyes. He couldn't help but close his eyes, then slowly opened them and looked around.

The rustle of the withered grass in the fishy wind, the cautious breathing lurking, the smell of decay, the dry color... This land is very different from when Mercer came, as if all the nutrients are gone After being extracted cleanly, the forest turned into a desolate place.

Plop, plop...

Mercer raised his hand and stroked his chest. The cracks all over his body had been healed, but the red cracks on his chest were still eye-catching. This was because of the heart of the furnace. Mercer was now completely recovered.

He clenched his fists again, feeling the movement of every muscle, letting the surging power fill his body, and narrowed his eyes in intoxication.

Until the lurking beasts appeared in front of Mercer.

"If I were you, I should turn around and run."

Mercer scanned them lightly and said.

These beasts did not flinch because of Mercer's words. The instinct in their hearts told them that as long as they attacked the existence in front of them - whether it was a metal column protected by a group of humans or a living creature, as long as they were killed, this area would be destroyed. The region will be able to return to its former state.

The group of beasts had different sizes and appearances. They were either flying in the sky or running on the ground. At this time, different species united as one to deal with this black dragon.

"Mu!"

A ferocious beast roared sadly and charged towards Mercer. Its actions caused countless creatures to move and attack Mercer.

Seeing this, any hunter would collapse to the ground in fear, but Mercer just turned his head and spat.

He was regretting his decision to devour the land.

Mercer, who had just regained his sense of taste, had forgotten that the dirt was not delicious. It only had a fishy smell. If the food hadn't decomposed quickly after swallowing, he would have vomited it out.So even now, there is still a disgusting taste in his stomach.

Therefore, he needed to find something to replace the earthy smell.And the best food to swallow is...

"Roar!"

Mercer moved at that moment. He let out an excited roar, grabbed the beast in front of him, used both arms to tear it apart.

The creature in front of him was just a 15-meter-long lizard-like creature. Its body was relatively slender, so after Mercer tore it in half, he stuffed it into his mouth and refused.

The pungent blood contained some rust-like sweetness, and the fishy-sweet taste filled Mercer's mouth. The long-lost taste made Mercer's body tremble, and there was an intoxicated look in his eyes, and he allowed the blood to overflow from his mouth.

With a grunt, Mercer swallowed the still active food, feeling it twitch in his mouth, and then fell into his stomach and disappeared without a trace.

"call--"

While Mercer was eating, attacks from other beasts also came, but they could not cause much damage to him.

The creatures surrounding him seemed to Mercer like a buffet delivered to his door. He grabbed another one without any politeness.

The one in his hand is also a 15-meter-long creature, which looks a bit like a Direwolf dragon, maybe a subspecies of it.If it were brought back to the swamp forest, it might be helpful to strengthen the overall strength of the Dire Wolf Dragon, but Mercer has no such intention now.

He opened his mouth, and the mouth dislocated automatically with a click. His upper and lower jaws separated more than 100 degrees, and he directly swallowed the direwolf dragon subspecies in front of him alive.

The creature struggled in the wall of Mercer's stomach, trying to use its claws to cause damage to Mercer's body. However, the mucus in the stomach wall prevented it from moving, and the inherently strong stomach wall would not be able to attack even if it was allowed to attack. Will cause damage to Mercer.

Therefore, along with the peristalsis of the stomach wall, it was wrapped in a place filled with strong acid. Before it could struggle and scream, the stomach acid corroded it, killing it instantly.

When Mercer grabbed another piece of food, the direwolf subspecies in his stomach had been completely corroded by gastric acid, with not even a bone left.

——This is an inhumane feast. These creatures don't care about their own lives and attack Mercer. However, the black dragon surrounded by them is completely unaffected. Even if some of them hurt Mercer's body, It is still impossible to carry out further damage.

But even though they knew it was a useless effort, they still refused to leave, and the cries they made when attacking were filled with a trace of grief.

But soon, the sounds of grief disappeared, and these creatures were no longer troubled by the destruction of the ecology.

Mercer also licked his mouth and ended the meal.

Chapter 293: Ecological Enemy

"With this power, I can destroy even human floating islands in front of me."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mercer washed the blood from his mouth with a stream nearby.

He spread his wings and flew into the air, wandering around.

Soon, he discovered a spaceship emerging from the sea of ​​clouds and slowly approaching Mercer.

Mercer also flapped his wings and came to the front of the spacecraft, staring at the people on the board.

"Lord Black Dragon...you look like..."

Mercer felt that the eyes of everyone looking at him were full of suspicion and surprise, but no one dared to say anything.

"What's wrong with me?"

He opened his claws and floated in the air to show his body to everyone. He stared at the captain and asked.

Hearing the permission in Mercer's tone, the captain was silent for a while and replied flatteringly: "It seems... you have become bigger and the injuries all over your body are gone. It looks like you have transformed." .”

"How long have I been asleep?"

Mercer asked, staring at the beard on the captain's face. He remembered that before he entered the cave, the captain's beard was not that long.

"It's been a year—one year and three months, to be exact."

When the captain said this, he pursed his lips and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes:

"We have been staying here, but we will still land quietly when we need to replenish food. We have all seen the changes in the forest. The food is getting less and less year by year, the land is becoming dry, and earthquakes are frequent. In this place There used to be a waterfall on the west side of the mountain forest, but within just six months, there was no more water flowing down the waterfall."

——After that, the plants that depended on the waterfall died of thirst, the vegetarian creatures that lived on the fruits starved to death, and the carnivorous creatures that hunted the vegetarian creatures were hungry and thirsty. After barely holding on for a year, they finally waited until they plundered away They are the culprit of everything.

There was no need for the captain to continue speaking, and Mercer understood what was going to happen next.He lowered his head and glanced at the scenery below. Now the beautiful and spectacular mountain forests had disappeared, leaving only tall dead trees standing firmly on the ground. He didn't know when they would completely collapse.

If he didn't know what happened to this land, even Mercer would feel confused staying there.

Dryness and prosperity, these two elements seem to still remain in this land. While people are marveling at this wonderful scene, they will also feel scared by the strangeness.

The culprit of all this is that Mercer absorbed the energy of the earth here. Even the floating island would not be so complete. Furthermore, it was also because Mercer collapsed the mountain, so during the period when he was sleeping, No living creatures will disturb you during the time, so you can absorb the energy of the earth's veins wholeheartedly.

——But even so, Mercer will not regret his actions.

"I know."

Mercer said calmly, "But these have nothing to do with us, go back."

"......Yes."

......

On the way back to the ice-veined snowfield, Mercer carefully studied his body. In addition to the restored nerves, there was one other thing that had changed the most, and that was his food intake.

Since the gastric acid in the digestive bag contains earth vein energy, his digestive ability, nutrient absorption speed, and energy storage are all enhanced. The actual effect is that his food intake becomes extremely large.

Mercer had estimated that if he let go of food, he would be able to eat up a forest within a month, even the trees.

It's an exaggeration to say that, but after you eat once, the energy stored in your body is enough to sustain you for a long time. If you control it a little, you can maintain your food intake within an acceptable range.

What's more, the fields and farms in the swamp forest have been developed to a large scale, which can fully support Mercer's consumption - otherwise Mercer would have no use for them.

In addition, his own scale powder has also been strengthened. After all, these secondary scales come from his own coagulated blood, and the content of earth vein energy in the blood is also the highest.Under the influence of earth vein energy, they can control and strengthen the breath that Mercer has shot out of his mouth.

——When he finished studying his body, Mercer also came to the vicinity of the Ice Vein Snowfield, which was above the canyon forest.

Looking in the direction of the ice-veined snowfield in the distance, Mercer was silent for a moment and said to the captain beside him:

"You go ahead and tell them my news. I will stay here for a while and tell the priest. Let her tell me the changes during my absence."

"clear......"

The captain was stunned for a while, without interfering, and called the crew to continue flying forward.

Mercer also spread his wings and landed slowly, arriving in the woods.

Feeling the feeling of branches scraping across scales, Moser came to the edge of the canyon and lay down, staring at all the scenery in front of him.

After his body began to feel, he would occasionally land on the ground to rest to relieve fatigue, but then he discovered that some changes had occurred around his body.

——Every time he stayed in an area for a long time, he would feel something. No living thing came close to him. All the animals ran away without looking back after discovering Mercer. Even the vegetation withered quickly.

If he only found the former situation, Mercer could blame it on his own momentum, but whenever he stayed there for a long time, the surrounding vegetation gradually withered. This situation was difficult to understand.

But Mercer also had some intuition as a guess - I am afraid that after absorbing the energy of that mountain forest, he will no longer be able to integrate with other ecology. After all, the surge of energy in Mercer's body is already equivalent to A huge ecological environment.

Therefore, what it brings to Mercer is ecological hostility and rejection. I am afraid that from now on, any creature will have a hint of instinctive hatred for Mercer.

Thinking of this, Mercer closed his eyes and took a deep breath, staring straight ahead and resting quietly.

...A few days later, a spaceship flew from a distance. With the support of several lynx cats, Rachel came to Mercer. After listening to his breathing to confirm the situation, she said softly: "Lord God, you are back."

Hearing her voice, Mercer opened his eyes and stared at Rachel:

"What happened to the volcano in the ice-veined snowfield while I was away?"

Rachel was already used to Mercer's straightforward questions, so she answered respectfully:

"There is no change. I have sent researchers to study around and inside the volcano, and they have found no difference. But..."

"but what?"

"According to the confirmation of scholars, the energy of the ley lines in the land of ice veins and snowfields is being rapidly consumed. Scholars have repeatedly proposed remedial plans to me. Although I rejected them all, they expressed that they were very dissatisfied, and recently they called a group of The workers protested to me..." After hearing Rachel's embarrassing words, Mercer's color gradually turned cold.

Chapter 294: Confrontation with Red Phoenix

"I seem to have told you that if something happens that makes me dissatisfied, I allow you to use extreme measures, right?"

Mercer's scarlet vertical pupils stared at Rachel, his eyes full of displeasure: "You let me down very much."

"——No, Lord God, please listen to my explanation." Feeling Mercer's gaze on her, Rachel rarely panicked: "Scholars are always the target of your attention, and I'm worried that if you suppress them ..."

"That's not why they disobeyed my orders."

Mercer naturally understood. For scholars who understood what earth energy was, they knew very well how dangerous their trip was, and they even had suspicions about where Mercer died.

In fact, if he didn't have the heart of the furnace to control the energy in his body, Mercer would not dare to absorb the energy of the earth's veins. He almost died when he first came into contact with the energy of the floating island.

Furthermore, it is a matter of obedience to oneself. After all, this is a floating island that was plundered by oneself, and one's own orders are not enough for them to execute unconditionally.

——But it just so happens that Mercer can use their actions to tell those who still criticize him on the floating island what the price of disobedience is.

But before that, he had to get down to business.

"Don't worry about that group of people, just let them carry out their activities. You only need to order the people in the Ice Vein Snowfield to pack up their things and go to the Floating Island within two weeks. I have something... you have to avoid. "

Mercer said in a deep voice: "You go back, I will return to the Ice Vein Snowfield myself in two weeks."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and left the place.

......

Time flew by, and two weeks later, Mercer woke up from the ground and looked around.

The vegetation within ten meters of the surrounding area has completely withered. Although there are changes on a larger scale, they will not be that obvious.

He didn't care about the surrounding land, but spread his wings and flew in the direction of the ice-veined snowfield.

After bypassing the place where Xingzhou Dragon was sleeping, Mercer came to the sky above the Ice Vein Snowfield in another direction. Looking at the empty top of the volcano, he landed and folded his wings.

He stared at the crater that was sealed by the solidified magma in front of him, lay down on the ground, and just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

——It was only when cracks appeared in the solidified magma, the lava supported the red phoenix's body to float, and a more powerful aura than before hit Mercer, that Mercer opened his eyes.

He stood up on all fours, looked at the red phoenix floating in the air, and said hello: "Long time no see, red phoenix."

Hong Huang stared at Mercer with a complicated expression in his eyes.

It opened its mouth and let out a clear cry. Perhaps it was because Mercer had stronger earth energy in his body, or because Red Phoenix had better control over its own power. The voice was no longer as vague as usual: "You I did it after all, Black Dragon.”

The voice sounded in Mercer's mind, beautiful and young. Even under such circumstances, one could hear the nobility and elegance beneath its emotions.

Mercer's expression remained normal: "Yes, I drained the earth energy of a mountain forest and caused the death of countless creatures. All this is just to satisfy my greed - what do you plan to do?"

"Spit it out." Hong Huang stared at Mercer and said with a tone that was unquestionable: "There are other ways. You should not touch this taboo. You are making enemies of us."

"The method you are talking about is that I have to drain all my energy and soak in the magma for hundreds of years?" Mercer said coldly: "I'm not like you. I know too little about myself. Can I survive this long?" Age is a problem.”

"Then you shouldn't do such a thing!" Red Phoenix was already a little impatient. It flapped its wings and brought up streams of hot wind: "This energy should not be used as power!"

"If leyline energy is really what your kind says - leyline energy is a form of life, then it also has a use as power."

Mercer's tone was calm, but the red phoenix in front of him was different. Although it was arrogant and elegant both in appearance and inwardly, its slowness was completely inappropriate for it:
