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

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but change his expression: "No, Captain, do you want to use the floating island to lure the black dragon?"

Floating islands No. [-] to No. [-] were all built during the [Catastrophe] to escape the disaster, and the remaining three were built one after another in the subsequent years.

The former was also built during that period, and many artillery pieces from pre-civilizations were installed on it, which was extremely powerful.

Since the reason for the discontinuity in science and technology is not technology but resources, even now the technology of pre-civilizations has been well preserved, and there are not many people who can operate those artillery.

"Ha ha--"

Shengli returned to the recliner, pulled down his sunglasses and lay down:

"Control your speed, don't get too far away from the floating island, and don't let the Hunter Guild's pterosaurs have a chance to fly over."

"Yes Yes."

Looking at the leader lying down comfortably, the helmsman showed a surprised look, but still nodded.

——As mentioned before, what is currently in short supply is not technology but resources. Therefore, the ammunition consumed every time the artillery is activated is difficult to build again. For those who dare to consume floating island ammunition, the Resource Management Office People will not let them off so easily.

But the helmsman didn't say anything about this. To him, this incident was both unexpected and reasonable.

As long as he acts within the gaps of the rules, and then pretends to be confused and stupid - this kind of thing is often done to win, and he is a habitual offender.

......

Compared with the leisurely victory here, the atmosphere on the floating island was not pleasant.

In the Hunter Guild, after several days of discussions and several meetings, this group of people finally came to the result:

"Unfortunately, Mr. Kiryu, the mission you submitted will be temporarily sealed."

A notice was placed in front of Kiryu. Seeing this, he did not show anger or surprise, but nodded indifferently:

"Ah."

Looking at Kiryu's expression, the executive who greeted him personally was a little surprised, but he didn't show it:

"Well... Of course, based on the results of the guild meeting, we think you have the right to know about the black dragon in the guild."

"Then let's talk about why you all held the meeting for so long - but if you even have to hold a meeting to discuss whether to notify me or not, I don't have any expectations." Kiryu said with a sneer. , the words always suppressed the man in front of him.

After hearing these words, the corners of the other party's eyes twitched a few times, but his expression remained unchanged and he continued to say calmly:

"First of all, it is about the position of the black dragon in its ecology. Since it has lived in the volcano for ten years, most people think that the black dragon has integrated into the local ecology and there is no rush to kill him now."

Observing Kiryu's eyes, the man paused and said:

"But you don't have to worry. Regarding whether to conquer it, the guild members mainly focus on two aspects of the black dragon: the first is the gray miasma ability that comes from its father, the gray scale dragon. The gray miasma will greatly destroy The nearby ecology is transformed into a land suitable only for their own survival, so some people want to destroy it; but others believe that the ash miasma cannot survive in a hot environment for a long time, so it is best to let it stay in the volcano. Safe choice.”

"...As for the second point, it is the factor you submitted to make the forging people surrender. Since you have submitted sufficient evidence, it saves us the time to research. I will research this on behalf of the Hunter Guild. The department thanks you.”

Having said this, the man put down the document and bowed his head to Kiryu to express his gratitude, then picked up the document and continued:

"On this point, we all agree that this is an unpredictable change. No matter it is any moment after the cataclysm, no matter which creature it is, or even natural disasters, such a situation has never happened, even if there are still people on this land. There are many backward alien races that have totem worship ideas, which are completely different from the black dragon's reaction to the black dragons."

The man stared at Kiryu and said solemnly:

"So our Hunter Guild has submitted an agreement to other departments, requesting the collection of resources to carry out a large-scale crusade against the black dragon. Regarding the relevant information, I am afraid that Mr. Kiryu will also receive that document soon."

After listening to so much nonsense, what Kiryu wants to know the most right now is this.

After pondering for a while, he asked:

"How long will it take to restart the crusade mission?"

"If there are no accidents, I'm afraid it will be ten years... During this period, Mr. Kiryu, you can withdraw the amount you submitted for the mission, or you can store it in the guild until the Black Dragon mission starts again in ten years. What do you think? ?”

"Well... let me ask, what should we do if someone completes the task during this period?"

Faced with Kiryu's question, the man was a little surprised, but he still explained it according to the regulations: "If someone takes over the task and completes it within this period, then naturally he needs to pay the other party a commission; even if he takes over the task Later, the client applied for cancellation. As long as the hunter does not receive relevant information or has to complete the task due to some reasons, we will also give the hunter uniform commission money."

"That's it."

Nodding without any surprise, Kiryu said: "Then let it go. If no one can complete these tasks, it won't be too late for me to take it back."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

The man stood up, shook hands with Kiryu and parted.

Chapter 1: Black Dragon’s Night Attack

"How long is it until the volcano?"

Shengli stood on the bow of the boat and asked looking into the distance.

"It's very fast. If you go fast, it will take one day." The helmsman said.

"Where's the floating island?"

"It's also one day." The helmsman added: "But there is a difference of a few hours."

"is it?"

Shengli turned his head and looked behind him. In the direction covered by layers of clouds, there was just a huge floating island, but they couldn't see each other yet.

According to the previous experience of the helmsman, this distance is safe, so that the detection system of the floating island cannot detect them, and it will also make it easier to evade the relationship in the future.

Shengli picked up the telescope and looked around, trying to find traces of the black dragon, but unfortunately, he couldn't find anything.

——In fact, at a higher altitude than them, Mercer flapped his wings and hid himself in the clouds and stared at them.

"The telescope, although this invention is not as convenient as my real eyesight, it does allow humans to transcend racial and genetic boundaries, and the upper limit is unlimited."

He muttered in a low growl that only he could understand.

Mercer did not underestimate human beings just because of his strong body. The experience of being stabbed all over by crossbow arrows was still vivid in his mind.

Because of this, their weapons should never be underestimated.

If it were an ordinary moment, Mercer would probably start with fireball bombs and use the clouds and fog to deal with them at high altitudes.

But this time it was different. Mercer was a little afraid of the huge beasts not far away.

It was such a huge existence that you couldn't even see its entirety. Unsurprisingly, it covered an area larger than any forest Mercer had ever lived in.

From the outside, it looks like an island that has been enlarged countless times, but it is floating in the air with incomprehensible power. There are no fumaroles visible from below, and there are no hot air balloons above - instead, it is a floating island. The mind-numbing artillery pieces below and on the edge, and the densely packed city-like buildings above.

To be honest, after seeing this scene, Mercer was a little confused.

He was not surprised that there was human civilization in this world, but he had always thought that the cities in this world were built far away, but Mercer had not found them.

But who knew that cities in this world are actually built on floating islands?

Looking at the floating island that was as solid and defenseless as a fortress, Mercer chose to wait and see for the time being.

But that being said, after looking at the firepower on those spaceships that was much more abundant than the previous ones, Mercer knew that the people coming were evil.

But even if he didn't take action, it could be roughly guessed from the actions of the bearded human that they would destroy the volcanic area.This was something Mercer didn't want to see.

"Well...then we have to go up."

Mercer squinted his eyes, checked his physical condition, and then nodded silently.

I had just eaten a full meal, my body was full of energy, the food was completely digested, my stomach acid and the breath liquid in my blood vessels were sufficient, my injuries were fully recovered, and my scales were all grown.

There is no doubt that now is his full form.

But just to be sure, he still waited patiently.

He needs to wait until the group of humans relax their vigilance, or in other words, encounter some obstacles.

——For example, night.

As soon as the sky darkened, Mercer stretched his body in the air, and then suddenly swooped down——

The strong acid in his mouth was mixed with the breath liquid, and Mercer quickly spit it towards one of the spaceships.

boom!

The explosion sounded from the hull, instantly startling the members of the surrounding spacecraft.

"Enemy attack!"

Some people knocked on the gong, while others quickly rushed out of the ship, aiming the muzzles in the direction of the fire.

But it was already too late, Mercer landed on the ship with a crash. Under the light of the flames, the black dragon's uncertain face looked like an evil ghost.

"It's the ship of the Blade Hunting Group!"

Someone shouted, and at this moment Mercer jumped up and grabbed the hot air balloon above the spacecraft with his sharp claws.

Through previous experience, he understood that as long as the hot air balloon on the spacecraft was destroyed, this group of people would really have no first aid means.

However, this time, when Mercer's sharp claws swiped across the hot air balloon, bursts of sparks erupted from it, which really surprised him.

It seems that these people have reinforced this in order to deal with themselves.

But it was still useless. He bit the hot-air balloon, and his bite muscles began to exert force. It didn't take much effort to tear open the reinforced surface of the hot-air balloon, exposing the empty space inside.

At this moment, the spaceship was already shaking. Just when Mercer was about to aggravate the wound, several cannonballs hit him directly, without any regard for his companion's spaceship next to him.

Upon seeing this, Mercer immediately flew away and landed in the blind spot of their attack. However, another spacecraft adjusted its position and pointed its gun at Mercer again.

In desperation, Mercer could only fly elsewhere, but at this moment, his face and neck had been hit by several shells in a short period of time, and the ammunition was fired as if it was free.

But before leaving, Mercer spit out a mouthful of acid into the hot air balloon.

Under the high temperature in the hot air balloon, the acid quickly turned red, and then made an explosion sound the next moment, and the wounds of the hot air balloon worsened again.

At this moment, the hot air balloon has shriveled up and is completely useless, but the spacecraft has not fallen yet, because there are two small hot air balloons installed on its bow and stern. Although they are slightly smaller, they are The defense power has not weakened at all.

boom!

Another explosion came from Mercer. Feeling the cracking of scales on his body, he quickly shifted his body.

In the middle of the night with clouds and mist everywhere, a black-scaled Mercer shuttled around like a ghost, making it impossible for anyone to find a trace of him.

"let me!"

A man walked up carrying a heavy crossbow. Thinking that the black dragon figure could detect traces from time to time, he suddenly fired a shot, and the bullet hit Mercer instantly.

Then, a small device was attached to his body together with the bullet, emitting a sizzling fire light, which was extremely obvious in the dark night.

Mercer also noticed the abnormality in his body, but the man's shooting skills were excellent. The part he shot was in the middle of the two wings, which happened to be the blind spot of the part he touched. If he wanted to peel off the bullet, he had to rub it against something. .

In other words, now he can only carry this thing for a while...?

The next moment, the black dragon showed a skill that made everyone's jaws drop - you can see in the dim light that he spit out acid into the air, then quickly accelerated, the back of his body rubbed against the strong acid, and the acid emitted light. The device was completely corroded, darkening it.

"what......"

The man opened his mouth and stared at Mercer in disbelief, but the next moment, Mercer's eyes collided with his.

——Thanks to you, the next attack target is yours!

From the black dragon's eyes, the man seemed to hear these words.

Chapter 1: Shirking and Procrastination

——At this moment, in a building on the floating island, an instrument sounded an alarm.

Hearing this voice, the man on the side quickly came here, pointed his eyes at the high-magnification telescope looking out of the window, and started to check.

After a while, he opened his eyes and shouted in surprise:

"Captain, look!"

On the other side of the room, another man frowned and rubbed his eyes, awakened by the sound of the device.

After hearing his subordinate's call, he made a nasal noise and stepped forward to observe in a daze.

However, it didn't matter what he saw, but he discovered that there were flashes of fire in the field of view of the telescope.

"what's the situation......"

Seeing this scene, he lost all sleep.

You must know that the height of the floating island is not low. At this height, there are basically few creatures that can fly.

And the trace of fire also proved that what appeared here was a creature that could breathe.

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Being able to fly to such a height means that the creature can reach the floating island, and when he thinks about his body with backache and other diseases caused by long hours of work, he has to face that kind of beast, his voice A tremor appeared unconsciously.
