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

Soon, he met several people.

——Sora, Dale, Lore and Kulu.

Three of them are colleagues of Ke Laixi, and one has a close relationship with them and will come here to read in her spare time.

"Team Leader Harold?" Luo Er looked at his haggard face in surprise, "Are you feeling wrong?"

Now that she is not at work, her tone is naturally more leisurely than usual.

"I chatted with Ke Laixi for a while, and I felt a little sad." He smiled sheepishly, looking a little sad.

"Are you looking for us?"

"Yes. I made an appointment to meet you in my office...but we met here, so let's just talk about it."

Harold cleared his throat and said to them: "I asked you to come here mainly because I have something to ask you. Regarding the matter of Kelisi - she will also leave the village in a few days. I want you to Going to protect her also protects other people who are willing to leave the village."

"But in this case, the manpower in the village..." Kuru was a little worried. As a young Mori, she was unwilling to leave her home.

Although she had already learned about the novelty of the outside world through the books in Kelisi's house, she was more inclined to stay in the village even if her curiosity about the outside world had arisen in her heart.

"If all the combat forces are left here, what will happen to those who leave the village? Even now, the forest is not safe. They need a strong enough team to protect them from leaving."

This sentence is actually an excuse. Harold just used this statement to impress Kulu. The real purpose is to consider Ke Laixi's safety.As for the other three people, Harold believed that even if he didn't entrust them to them, they would still protect her tightly.

"Dell and I must be fine. What about you, Luo Er?"

Sola was the first to agree, and Luo Er also nodded after pondering for a while.

"I...I'll follow you too." Seeing that the other three people had made their decisions, Kulu also made a choice.

"Then please."

Harold said solemnly, he bent towards them, bowed deeply, and said goodbye to them.

Chapter 39: I found you...

"Hoo...hoo..."

In the wilderness, in the land engulfed by endless gray mist, a skinny giant dragon crawled slowly on the ground. Its wings were so weak that they could only fold helplessly behind it.

There were no scales on its body, revealing a skeleton that was almost ready to break through the skin.

Every time it crawled for a while, it had to rest on the ground for a longer period of time. Finally, it raised its head as if feeling something, and twitched its nose in the air.

A few gray scales were sucked into its body, and they seemed to contain a temperature close to that of dragon flames.

Finally, it raised its head high and let out a long cry of joy.

"--Got you......"

......

"I go!"

Mercer suddenly woke up from his dream. Several monkeys on the shore looked curiously in this direction, but they were already used to it.

Mercer touched his huge head with his dragon claws and gasped in shock.

He just dreamed of that old guy, something was definitely going on.

In the past, I could just hallucinate its voice, but this time it got worse, and I couldn't even have peace in my dreams, right?

Mercer climbed to the edge of the stone bed and dipped his head in the spring water to sober himself up.

Soon, he stuck his head out again, shook off the water drops on his face, and looked at the sky.

I woke up later than before this time. Sure enough, something strange had happened.

First of all, the dream. What would the dragon in the dream do after saying those words?Anyway, Mercer hoped that it would be a good thing that was harmless to him.

But no matter what, it was just a dream, not what happened in reality.

He took a deep breath, flapped his wings and flew into the sky.

It was important to deal with it now - with his knowledge of pharmacology, collecting medicinal herbs was still too troublesome. Although he also tried to ask the former leader to tell the monkeys to collect plants that could cure diseases, due to the language barrier, he finally collected them. Instead, there were a lot of weeds and branches, and Mercer even saw a poisonous vine among them.

After that, he went to collect herbs by himself, but not long after he dared to take action, Mercer still only had a very small amount stored in the cave.

Fortunately, he had plenty of time to prepare. With the gray fog's path, it would take about a month and a half to spread to him. He had enough time...

"What's the situation?!"

When Mercer looked at the gray fog in the distance out of habit, the entire dragon stopped in mid-air, staring into the distance with dumbfounded eyes.

"Did I sleep for more than a month?"

He had confirmed yesterday that the distance between the gray mist and him was still far away, but after waking up, the gray mist directly flew across a large distance as if it had been injected with chicken blood.

Staring at the gray fog in the distance, Mercer's face sank, with a human expression of thought appearing on his face.

Of course, it was impossible to sleep for a month. There must be secrets in this forest that Mercer didn't know.

After pondering for a while, he flapped his wings and disappeared into the gray mist, causing ripples outside the mist.

"..."

As soon as he arrived here, Mercer felt the silence. The sounds in the forest disappeared at this moment, and he seemed to be on an isolated island in the endless sea.

He folded his wings and landed on the ground, looking around him warily.

The sound of sharp claws breaking branches and limbs crushing fallen leaves surrounded his ears. This was the sound made by Mercer himself, but strangely, he felt the presence of someone other than himself.

But if you look carefully, you can't find any trace of other creatures. You can only find the location of that existence by relying on your vague feelings.

——It is right next to Mercer, with traces of it everywhere.

The existence that Mercer felt was the gray fog, or in other words, he felt the existence behind it through the gray fog, which led to such an illusion.

"There are ghosts and ghosts..."

He whispered as he continued to move forward uneasily.

"...There are traces of humans."

After walking for a while, Mercer suddenly looked aside.

On his side, there was a pile of fire marks, which were left after the fire was lit.

After staying in the forest for so long, Mercer also passively learned a lot of common knowledge about the forest.

"It was left behind a few days ago, but why? If you are a human, you should know the power of these gray fogs, why don't you leave?"

Mercer sniffed lightly in the gray fog. The strong fog blocked his sense of smell, but he still smelled a strange smell.

"Hmm... there's a very unusual smell, it's everywhere. It doesn't look like something that should appear in the forest."

It's like humans are specifically emitting this smell.

Mercer guessed that they must have their reasons for doing so, and at the moment when the gray fog arrived, the only reason Mercer could think of was that this smell could resist the spread of the gray fog.

But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid they also failed.

Mercer shook his head helplessly and continued to move forward.

——After another while, an auditory hallucination with a different content than before suddenly echoed in Mercer's ears, which immediately made him listen to his footsteps:

"Like...breed..."

"Beget children..."

......

You're so weak and you still want to mess around?

Just when Mercer was thinking this, he keenly noticed something was wrong.

"This message was left four or five years ago..."

Mercer whispered quietly, and just when he wanted to listen attentively, this scene suddenly flashed in his mind:

——A giant dragon covered in gray scales wandered in the forest, letting out a low cry of restless longing. It flapped its wings, and its scales shook off and turned into wisps of gray mist.

A bipedal and bi-winged flying dragon with a good figure and an upright face stared closely at the giant dragon in the air, and then pounced on it with a roar.

...There was a brief fight after that. The flying dragon's flames caused considerable damage to the gray-scaled dragon, but as soon as the distance between the two got closer, the latter immediately suppressed the former.

After that, the gray-scaled dragon spread its wings and enveloped the entire body of the flying dragon. During this period, an unknown person roared.

After a while, both dragons lay on the ground weakly and contentedly until the other flying dragon arrived.

Compared with the flying dragon in front, this one was more majestic and stronger, but after seeing what was happening in front of him, it let out a miserable and angry wail.

In the end, the later flying dragon defeated the exhausted gray-scaled dragon, and the dragon fled here, leaving only the beautiful flying dragon with traces of it on its body.

——The picture flashed quickly, like a high-speed slideshow in front of Mercer's eyes, telling Mercer everything that happened four or five years ago.

Until the slide went out, the scene in front of Mercer returned to reality again. He came back to his senses and looked around for a moment.

After being silent for a while, he finally said:

"Good guy, there's a lot of information."

Chapter 40: Order in Disaster

——First of all, Mercer already understood his own life experience, to be precise, the life experience of this body.

After all, looking at the figure of the giant dragon with gray scales, it is not difficult to find similarities with his own appearance.

"Parents of this world?"

Mercer said in an emotional tone, but it was impossible to talk about feelings. After all, they were just beasts.

Moreover, just by looking at a slideshow, he would burst into tears and shout for his parents and so on. Mercer felt that his feelings were not so cheap.

But no matter what, the gray scale dragon and the flying dragon are his parents.

A lot of time had passed since Mercer entered the gray mist, but nothing unusual had ever happened to him. Now that he thought about it, he should have noticed it a long time ago.

The one who releases the gray mist is his gray-scale father, and his breathing ability is also inherited from his flying dragon mother who can breathe fire.

Looking at it this way, Mercer might not have to be afraid of the gray mist. Instead, he could go directly into the depths of the gray mist and go to the gray-scaled father and say, "I am your son. You have been calling me and I am here."

But it is a pity that Mercer has no such idea at all.

Perhaps because he has part of the genes of the gray-scale dragon in his body, Mercer innately understood that the gray-scale dragon race communicated through gray mist, but his scales were as hard as iron and could not release the so-called gray mist at all.

In other words, I can understand what the other person is saying, but I can't communicate with it. And the other person is a gray dragon, and none of my scales are gray. If I run in front of the gray scale dragon so recklessly, I'm afraid, Will be treated as an alien.

And based on Mercer's perception of the aura in the gray mist, even if this gray dragon is weak, it was ridiculously strong in its heyday, and cannot be compared to his current self.

——In other words, the best policy is to remain content.

Thinking of this, Mercer couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Mercer suddenly thought that since the gray mist allowed him to see the past scenes, would the gray-scale dragon have sensed his presence if he had gone deep into the gray mist?

His expression suddenly darkened, and his sharp claws unconsciously scratched the ground.

From this point of view, the scene he saw in his sleep was not just a dream.

Thinking of the message sent by the gray-scale dragon: "I found you." Mercer felt his scalp numb.

If he guessed correctly, the giant dragon was coming towards him, and as the body that released the gray mist came to the forest, no matter how hard he or humans tried, the forest could not escape the fate of being destroyed by the gray mist.

Mercer's expression was uncertain. Sometimes he walked back and forth, sometimes he looked in the direction deep in the gray mist, and finally he stopped.

——No matter what you do, you can't stop this gray fog, so instead of Mercer finding it, it's better to let this guy enter Mercer's field.

After that... try to communicate with it, if you can make it stop the spread of gray fog, it will be a family reunion. Otherwise... you can only make the worst decision.

Thinking of this, Mercer gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp teeth.

But finally he sighed.

There's no point thinking about it now. All we can do is be fully prepared and wait for it to arrive.

No, there’s one more thing to do before it comes… a full meal.

Thinking of this, Moser couldn't help but lick his tongue.He wasn't hungry now, it was just time for his daily meal.

As he went deeper, the scene in front of him became somewhat familiar to Mercer.Not long ago, this was the habitat of herbivorous dragons, and Mercer occasionally came here to hunt. However, due to the erosion of gray fog, this land has lost its original color, and all the creatures living here have disappeared. .
