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

Even though Mercer was on guard, he did not expect that the ball would undergo such a change. Unexpectedly, his wings were stained with a little smoke and dyed with a hint of color.

"Idiot! You missed the throw!"

"No, the fire dragon cub is stained. Let's go!"

Seeing the group disappear into the grass, Mercer gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the grass.

Chapter 8: Crazy escape

Mercer ran quickly through the grass, the humans in this world flashing through his mind, as well as the strange language they spoke.

He doesn't know what the purpose of human beings in this world is. All he wants is to hide.

I am just a young dragon now. No matter what, I will hide it first. It will not be too late to come into contact with this group of people when I grow up.

And that little ball...

Mercer thought of the color on his wings. He turned around and took a look, but he keenly discovered that after his colored wings were scratched by the surrounding branches, a little color hung on the branches he passed.

He smelled his body again and found that the smell of the little ball lingered on his body for a long time.

With these signals, no matter how far you escape, it will be easy for those humans to catch up.

We can only try to see if it can be eliminated first.

A trace of determination flashed in Mercer's eyes. He turned his head and spread his wings. He aimed at the colored wing membranes and opened his mouth to spit out flames.

One second, two seconds...

Fortunately, Mercer's body was very resistant to flames and his own flames could not burn him.

At the same time, under the burning of the flames, the colors on the wing membranes began to fade, but before they faded completely, the stock of Mercer's breath organ was gone again.

"Can not be done......"

He felt a little regretful, but then he ran to the stream and soaked himself in the water, trying to wash away the color and smell from his body.

But after a while, he climbed out of the creek and saw that the color on the wing membrane was stubbornly stuck to it, and the smell was only slightly reduced.

Or not.

I don’t know what these people’s balls are made of. They are waterproof and fireproof, and it is difficult to remove the creatures that are hit.

There is no other way. Until the smell is removed, I can only compete with them for endurance.

He started running wildly along the creek, all the way upstream.

Mercer ran without sparing any effort, determined not to slow down until he was exhausted.

——On the other side, several hunters were walking together.

Some of them hold bows and arrows, and some hold spears. Although the styles are different, the same thing is the huge size of the weapons.

There is no way. In this world, except for humans, the sizes of living creatures are generally too large. Therefore, if you want to leave scars on them, the weapons in your hands must not be stingy in size.

Of course, those who can flexibly use these weapons are naturally the elite among hunters. At the same time, because everyone has different priorities, they will also use different weapons.

It was as if among this group of people, there stood a mature beauty.

She did not hold an exaggerated weapon like other hunters, but held something like a cane and waved it in the air like an elegant conductor.

Under her control, several huge bugs flew out of the forest.

The smallest of these bugs is only the size of a palm, and the largest can even sit on a person.

However, although these bugs may appear to have compound eyes and hairs that make the scalps of patients with trypophobia tingle, and some of their mouthparts and sharp spines are extremely sharp, they are actually species that have been carefully cultivated from small to large over several generations. , at least there is no problem with obedience.

Lore waved his cane, the tip of which had a peculiar fragrance. Through the sound and smell it produced when swinging, he could simply communicate with these trained bugs.

"Oh?"

Looking at the traces of bugs dancing in the air in front of him, Lore showed joy and waved his cane again to let the bugs fly out.

One of the bugs glowed and flew slowly in one direction.

"Follow it."

Lor said, and the other hunters ran towards the shiny bug.

After a while, they finally saw some colors different from the forest in their sight.

Some hang on the grass, some rub on the tree trunks.

"This residue..."

A hunter stepped forward, touched the color on it, felt the viscosity from his fingertips, and nodded to them:

"An hour ago."

Hearing these words, Luo Er looked up at the sky and frowned:

"It's getting a little late. How about we find a place to rest for a while? Anyway, the duration of the marker bombs is 24 hours."

"Just try harder! Maybe you can find the cub of the fire dragon." Some people didn't agree with her view and still maintained their high energy.

"That's okay." Luo Er had no objection and agreed.

So, the group of them followed the smell again, searching for traces of the fire dragon cub along the way, and continued to move forward.

After another while...

"Huh... Huh... Luo Er, ask the bugs again how long it will take."

The sky had darkened, and the hunters had to stop and find a safe place to rest.

"Well, let me ask." Luo Er nodded, feeling a little tired himself.

Judging from her past experience, it is not uncommon for hunting to last for five or six days. It is indeed not enough to see in one day, but since it is the guy who was hit by the marker bullet, it means that the fire dragon cub should not be far away. However, for several hours, he didn't even touch his shadow, which was really incredible.

The only possibility is that the fire dragon cub started moving non-stop after being hit by the marking bullet, which caused this situation.

"Isn't this fire dragon cub too vigilant?"

Luo Er couldn't help sighing, she raised her cane and waved it in the air.

The cane cuts through the air, and together with the holes on its body, it makes a complex air-piercing sound. Although the sharp sound will be ignored by human ears, it can be caught by trained bugs.

After a while, several insects flew over from the top of the tree and arrived in front of Luo Er.

She waved her cane, and the bugs flew across trail after trail in front of her.

Looking at the insect's movements, Luo Er finally changed his expression:

"What the hell? Isn't this too outrageous?"

"What's wrong?" The other hunters saw her expression and asked curiously.

"It's almost at the bottom of the mountain."

"So outrageous? It won't keep running wildly from the beginning, right?"

One person said in disbelief.

"Most likely it will be like this..." Luo Er looked a little embarrassed, "What should we do? Are we still going to follow?"

"...Forget it, if the fire dragon cub continues to run and we continue to follow, the marking bomb will definitely lose its effectiveness halfway. How about taking a rest tonight and returning to the village tomorrow?"

"It's okay, the fire dragon is still more than ten years away from fully growing up. We have plenty of time."

After the hunters talked with each other for a while, they decided.

Chapter 9: Growth

"Huh...huh...are you still chasing me?"

As the morning light broke the tranquility of the night, Mercer finally stopped and lay on the ground exhausted.

His body was so exhausted that he almost fell asleep, but he still managed to look around.

"Where did I run to?"

He heard the noisy sound of water coming from far away, and the thick water vapor shrouded the area like smoke.

Mercer took a few breaths, struggled to climb up a nearby tree, and curled up among the leaves to hide his figure.

After all the preparations were completed, Mercer finally couldn't hold it any longer, closed his eyes and fell asleep completely.

——And along with his dormancy, Mercer's body changed again.

The overeating after obtaining [Super Digestion] allowed Mercer to absorb more nutrients in his body than before. These nutrients were transmitted through blood vessels and transported to every part of the body under the strong beating of the heart.

The muscles of the body gradually tightened, and the internal organs became stronger... If any biologist had the ability to see through the skin and see Mercer's inner being, he would immediately doubt what he had learned throughout his life.

Because the current condition of Mercer's body after falling into coma is just like the changes that occur in the physical development of a normal young dragon within a few months or even half a year.

The growth that other creatures accumulated over a long period of time was only experienced by Mercer in less than a day.

Then came the changes brought about by [eating soil]. Mercer's body absorbed the minerals and inorganic substances in the soil, and the scales and bones became harder.

If you look carefully, you can see that the color of the scales on Mercer's body gradually becomes darker, and the reflected luster also becomes darker.

While sleeping, Mercer began to breathe continuously. Every time he inhaled, his body would expand, and when he exhaled, it would return to its original shape.

Every time he breathes, his body undergoes small changes, which are difficult to detect at first, but after a few hours, it is no longer possible for his body to be hidden among the leaves.

......

When Mercer woke up, he felt a faint sense of collision in some parts of his body. He opened his eyes, and his crimson vertical pupils seemed to light up at that moment, and then quickly recovered.

He saw monkeys surrounding him. These apes had snow-white hair and extremely long tails.

If we compare the humans we saw last night, some of these apes are the same size as humans, and some are about twice the size of humans. Mercer also saw an ape standing in the middle of the group of monkeys. Its size was larger than that of humans. The surrounding apes were larger and had horned skulls on their heads.

The collision felt by these bodies was caused by some monkeys hitting his body with stones.

Apparently, after Mercer fell asleep, his body attracted the attention of these monkeys, and then they beat him in a way that was not clear whether for fun or harm.

"Roar!"

Mercer subconsciously stood up and let out a high-pitched roar, then felt something was wrong with his body.

He found that the perspective he was in was different from before. His body seemed to have expanded in a circle, and his body was much larger than before.

During this sleep, my body seemed to have grown by half of its original size.

Moreover, Mercer's intuition told him that not only his body size had grown, but the strength of his body, the defense of his scales, and his breath capacity had also increased a lot.

But what followed was a faint feeling of hunger.

Want to eat...

Without any hesitation, Mercer looked at the largest guy among the monkeys.

The ape wearing the horn hat seems to be the leader here.

After Mercer stood up, the surrounding monkeys immediately ran away in fear and hid in the surrounding forest, but they still poked their heads out to peek at Mercer.

Some monkeys retreated behind the leader and shouted threateningly at Mercer.

grumble!Chichi!grumble--

In his previous life, Mercer had watched a documentary similar to the animal world. At that time, he did not understand the behaviors and sounds of animals, but it is different now. I wonder if he now has the brain of a dragon, so he began to understand the behavior of these monkeys. scream.

——Don’t come over!Our boss is very powerful. If you have the ability, come over and try it! ?

The moment he understood their behavior, Mercer sneered. He stared at the leader of the monkey group and let out an imposing roar.

The ape leader was subconsciously shocked by Mercer's behavior. It became angry, first stamped on the ground with all four limbs and roared at Mercer, and then raised its arms and beat its own chest.

Following his actions, the surrounding monkeys also cheered and began to dance with stones, and some even threw them directly at Mercer.

Seeing the leader and the monkey group approaching him, Mercer also understood what it had just called.

——Boys, get on the copy guy!

Mercer opened his mouth and ran, charging straight towards the leader.

"Ow!"

The leader roared, looked at Mercer who ignored the other apes, and opened his hands.

With a bang, it collided with Mercer.

However, its hands grasped the dragon horn on Mercer's head as a fixation, and its lower body was firmly grasped on the ground. It was prepared for a collision in advance and did not lose its balance.
