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

What is perfection?That is to collect the most lava crystals in the shortest time and with the least resources.

——The Hunter's Guild has nothing to do with Kiryu's position. In other words, the materials consumed by the hunters during the crusade against the black dragon have nothing to do with him. In the aftermath of the crusade against the black dragon, as long as the blacksmiths can be expelled and let go The creatures living in the volcano migrate, and he can gather the rest of his crew to mine the lava crystals.

They were a group of wandering Blacksmiths who were far away from here. They once traded with the Floating Island, and their tribe had its glory days, but now it has declined. Their numbers have been reduced to one out of ten under the attack of wild creatures. Would love to have a place to call home.

Without the intrusion of creatures, I believe those people can collect faster than this group of blacksmiths.

Chapter 92: Strong Acid

After Chiyo stayed in the room for a while, when the smell outside dissipated, he opened the door and walked out of the room.

Then, the sound of a fierce argument reached her ears.

Following the sound, I found that the people from that team were still arguing around Gulu with red faces.

"Why do they keep arguing every day?"

She frowned and muttered, but she didn't intend to get involved. She just wanted to see how strengthened her sword was.

However, when Chiyo passed by, Gulu saw her back and called her.

"——Chiyo-sama, wait a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hunters surrounding her also looked at her.

"Chiyo-sama, you have to comment on this matter!" Pom said angrily.

"Never mind my business, don't drag me into it."

He said this, but he still stopped for Gulu's sake.

Gulu said with a guilty look on his face: "That's it, I'm afraid your weapon can't be strengthened for you smoothly."

"--What's the meaning?"

Hearing this, Chiyo's face suddenly darkened.

You must know that once the terminal enhancement of any weapon is terminated abruptly, its quality will be irreversibly reduced. For a hunter like her who relies on weapons to make a living, it is tantamount to cutting off an arm.

Sighing helplessly, Gulu told her all about the fact that he was feeding the black dragon and that the area would be shaken soon.

"In the final analysis, isn't it still because you surrendered to that black dragon? What should we do with our weapons!"

Pom shouted angrily, while Charlotte on the side did not give Gulu a good look: "...If I want to surrender to the monster, I might as well commit suicide."

The rest of the hunter team also showed contempt for this.

"Calm down, I will make it up to you!"

Surrounded by accusations, Guru shouted loudly to silence them.

"... Putting aside the issue of compensation, what are your plans?" At this time, Chiyo suddenly asked, "It only takes less than a month for my sword to be strengthened, and the speed of the spacecraft No matter how fast we go, it’s unlikely we’ll get here within a month, right?”

"This..." Gulu showed a troubled look and sighed: "We are also very troubled. It doesn't matter how we wander, but forcing us to leave... Including me, most forest people They are all unwilling. But you are different. If the spaceship comes and it affects you..."

"My knife is very precious, and I am willing to take this risk for it." She said calmly, but others showed strong confusion about this.

"——Lord Chiyo? How is this possible!" Hearing what Chiyo said, the others opened their eyes wide, and Charlotte showed an incomprehensible expression:

"They don't even care about their dignity in front of the black dragon! Aren't you afraid that they will attack you secretly?"

"We wouldn't do such a thing!"

Gulu shouted angrily, veins appeared on his face, and humiliated anger appeared on his face.

"I have already decided on this matter. No matter how much you argue, don't get involved with me."

Chiyo waved his hands and left here calmly.

Gulu also stared at them fiercely, and finally turned away with a cold snort.

"Shut up if you want to stay! Otherwise, go to the processing room, grab your weapons and compensation, and get out of here!"

......

[Task name: Ecological Destroyer

Mission content: Do you still remember the son of the Gray Scale Dragon whose life and death are unknown 11 years ago?It is still alive, in a volcano in a desert away from the original place. Many people will be familiar with it. Yes, that is where the forging people live who strengthen and forge weapons for you.The forged people surrendered to the black dragon and gave up their dignity under the black dragon's coercion. Now it's up to you to rescue them.

Note: The black dragon has become more powerful. It is best for hunters to use the bed crossbow on the spaceship as the main means of attack.

Posted by: Kiryu]

Under each hunter's guild, an eye-catching task page appeared. At the bottom of the paper, a terrifying amount of reward was written in large black letters, which was enough to make any hunter feel jealous.

The news about this mission was spread by unknown persons intentionally. Gradually, all the hunters on the floating island heard the news.

...Similarly, Mercer was also awakened by this.

[For some people, you are the capital that has allowed three generations to turn around; but for some people, you are just a tool to accomplish their goals.Who are those people to you? ——Get an extraction function. 】

What Riddler?

Mercer looked at the voice with a confused face and began to think.

"Extract."

Capital, tools... If you put it this way, could it be that someone is paying for it and intends to use it to achieve certain goals?

If this was the case, Mercer would have to be concerned.

[Drawing...The drawing was successful and the skill was obtained: Strong Acid. 】

There was a pain in my stomach, but fortunately this change was relatively acceptable compared to before.

With the tingling sensation, the parts from Mercer's mouth to the intestines and stomach changed. While becoming stronger, they began to automatically secrete a mucus, which would wrap Mercer's intestinal wall to form a mucosa that could protect Mercer. It will not be hurt by high temperatures, extreme cold and other temperatures when eating, and it is also difficult to be scratched by angular materials.

But more importantly, it is its super acid resistance.

——In Mercer's intestines and stomach, another kind of mucus began to accumulate, which was similar to gastric acid, but its digestibility was significantly improved. Not only that, it would also accumulate in the abdomen, keeping food soaked in gastric acid, speeding up digestion. His digestion speed.

Mercer felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and felt a little nauseous. He opened his mouth and made a gesture of vomiting.

vomit--

Black acid spurted out from Moser's mouth and stuck to the mountain wall.

First, there was a sizzling sound on the mountain wall, and a wisp of green smoke emerged from it. Then, under the temperature of the lava below, the acid began to quickly turn red, and then exploded instantly. The mountain wall exploded into pieces at that moment. gravel.

With a new weapon, Mercer showed brief joy, then withdrew his attention.

There were many thoughts in his heart, and a light flashed in Mercer's eyes.

——Today, a spaceship arrived here. This was a fixed point in time within a few years. At first, Mercer didn't pay attention, but unlike before, the spaceship stayed for a while before slowly leaving.

If my guess is correct, this "purpose" is related to the group of bearded humans.

With this in mind, Mercer pondered for a while, feeling that the metal in his abdomen was being digested much faster in the stomach acid, then he spread his wings and flew towards the group of bearded humans.

Chapter 93: The Black Dragon’s Deterrence

Should I leave or stay?

At night, under the light of candles, Gulu took out his hidden scales, put them in his hands and rubbed them carefully.

For Teng Ren, there is no problem even if he puts down his current life and returns to the wilderness, even if doing so may be used as food by wild creatures and be taken away by ferocious beasts.

They are not forest people, but people who live in an environment that ordinary people cannot live in. They are not ashamed to be far away from home. The life of no fixed place has long been engraved deep in their blood.

But in some aspects, the Forged People are more stubborn than the Sen people. They are just a piece of fine iron that will melt at high temperatures, but if they are simply hit with a hammer, they would rather break than deform.

...However, there are still some newborns in the tribe...

Even if this place is already facing danger, escaping nearby can guarantee safety to a certain extent. Gulu is not willing to leave, but the newborns in the group are different. They are the continuation of the group, and some have not yet grown beards and cannot withstand the dangers of the volcano. dust.

——Just when Gulu was extremely confused, a low roar suddenly came from a high place, and the familiar voice made Gulu tremble all over.

Is it that black dragon?Why did it come so soon this time?

He quickly stood up, took two quick steps, stopped and looked at the black scales on his hand, and after a moment of silence, he put it in his arms.

He opened the door and rang the bell in the cave, and the sound soon woke up those who were sleeping at this time.

For the people living here, they already knew the meaning of the ringtone, so they immediately woke up and walked out quickly.

As for the outside hunters, they didn't understand the meaning of the bell, but they all woke up from their beds.

"What's going on, village chief?"

Chiyo rubbed her eyes and pushed open the door, looking at the surrounding cave that instantly became bright.

"Don't come out now! First..."

Gulu subconsciously reached out his hand to stop her behavior, but before he finished speaking, he silently lowered his hand:

"Forget it...don't say anything until then, just watch."

"What do you mean?" Chiyo frowned and suddenly looked at the sky, his expression slightly changed: "Is it that black dragon?"

"......Um."

"...I know, I won't act rashly."

Looking at the expression on his face, Chiyo pondered for a moment and nodded.

"What's going on! Why did the bell ring suddenly!?"

In a room not far away, Pom opened the door and asked sleepily, feeling a little irritable.

Gulu didn't want to pay attention to him, but glanced at the forging man on the side, and then the man stepped forward and started talking to Pom.

After doing this, Gulu came to the cave and watched the blacksmiths move out a large amount of metal.

Push the container to the center of the cave and open it, revealing the shining gold inside.

Every piece of metal has been repeatedly forged, and the quality is refined and impurities are discharged at high temperatures.

Even a well-informed hunter like Chiyo was surprised when he saw this pile of metal. The hunters not far away almost drooled. If there was not a forging person watching them all the time, they would not have Don't know what these people will do.

Running to the edge of the mountain wall, Gulu suddenly pulled the lever, and the iron cover on the vent opened to both sides, revealing a huge hole with a diameter of 30 meters.

At the same time, the sound of flapping wings came from time to time in the air.

After hearing this voice, Chiyo couldn't help but become vigilant, and subconsciously reached out his hand behind his back, but it was in vain.

Showing aggression now will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for the forging people, which is not what Chiyo wants to do.But at this time, Chiyo still felt more secure having a knife at hand.

Then, a black dragon flew down from it and stopped on the ground.

The heavy breathing is like a low roar, and the scales all over its body are dim and dull. There is no reflection when the light shines on its body, as if it can swallow up the light. It looks powerful and ferocious, full of menace, and its scarlet vertical pupils seem to have lava in its eyes. flow.

——The atmosphere in the cave became quiet. Even though they knew that it was not very aggressive, the hunters all showed frightened expressions.

The lies used to cover up their fears were directly exposed at the first sight of the black dragon. Pom and the others all showed helpless fear and moved towards their rooms.

Looking around, Mercer finally stopped at the mountain wall where the room was carved.

There, there were several strange and familiar faces.

Four of the hunters were the rookie team, the ones who couldn't break through their own defenses no matter what.

Staring at these people, Mercer crawled over and squinted his eyes to observe them.

After meeting Mercer's gaze, they all leaned against the mountain wall, feeling stiff all over, their legs trembling uncontrollably. What's more, they began to whisper, as if they were praying.

Mercer glanced at the man praying. He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man whose smell was the same as that of a golden statue.

The rest of the people seemed to be scared out of their wits, and they were not as brave as when they faced Mercer - oh no, they were also driven by fear at that time.

Mercer was really not interested in them, so he crawled in front of the female hunter on the other side.

"..."

Facing the black dragon's gaze, Chiyo could clearly feel that his breathing was gradually becoming heavier, and his mood became tense unconsciously.

But even so, she still maintained a calm mind.

This aura - not even found in beasts several times larger than the black dragon, convinced Chiyo that there was something special about this black dragon.

It cannot be classified as an ordinary beast, Chiyo thought clearly.

She met its gaze without flinching and saw the contemplation and consideration in the black dragon's eyes.

With such human eyes, there is no doubt that this black dragon has a very high IQ...even not weaker than humans?
