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

This time, there were no dim nightmares, and the shadows of the past still existed, but Chiyo would only stare at the majestic black dragon in front of him.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, raised her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"...By the way, as a reward for helping me get rid of the nightmare, I will tell you a secret... The center of the floating island is the energy storage room for the entire island... ...But I still advise you to run away...because there are also a large number of artillery above the floating island...you will have a narrow escape if you go up there..."

——Should we choose to escape with a higher chance of survival, or should we fight back?But no matter what, Chiyo didn't care anymore. She didn't even know if Heilong could hear her such complicated words clearly.But with an attitude of being indifferent to those people who have nothing to do with her, she hopes that this island will fall down and break everything that Kiryu and the people who dropped explosives on this volcano are after.

As his vision gradually dimmed, Chiyo sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 115: Volcanic Eruption

...The human attack has not stopped. Looking at the collapsed rocks in front of him, Mercer withdrew his gaze indifferently and looked ahead - a piece of hot lava.

Half an hour after the battle with that man ended, Mercer stood here, letting the lava burn the gaps in his scales.

This is the center of the volcano, and it is also the place where Red Phoenix was bound a long time ago.

——Because of this, in this lava, lava crystals are everywhere, and even linked to each other, forming a huge whole. I don’t know how many years have passed, they are growing everywhere in the lava, and have even reached The lower level of the volcano.

At this moment, Mercer held a handful of red phoenix feathers in his hand.

Glancing at the feathers that were still gorgeous even after many years, Mercer dropped them into the lava without hesitation.

Afterwards, the lava crystallization will continue to explode, and the huge fluctuations caused by the explosion will bring extremely strong pressure to the volcano inside the lava.

Eventually, these pressures will be released... destroying everything.

There are no traces of the original in the surroundings. Human explosives seem to be endless, changing the entire volcano beyond recognition.

He raised his head, and from this angle he could see a hint of the outside world of the volcano. What used to be the sky was now obscured by the huge floating island.

He couldn't help but wonder, what are the benefits for humans to do this?

Are they hiding on the floating island to escape the beasts on the ground?But in this case, they should be very weak, why would they destroy an ecology so violently?

Even if they did, what would they gain?

Mercer began to think about it. After the creatures in the volcano fled from the continuous explosions, there were only some damaged volcanic debris left in this area.

In other words, is their purpose just for these volcanic residues containing precious ores...

But, so what?

——They spent a lot of resources just for this volcano. How should they replenish the consumable resources?

...I'm afraid the answer is, the resources they obtain by consuming resources.

In order to obtain resources that do not belong to them, they consume resources that belong to them, then use newly obtained resources to replenish the resources they consumed, and then use the resources they own to obtain resources that do not belong to them... This may That's what they are, a never-ending cycle of reincarnation.

When he was a human, Mercer had never thought about this or experienced any of this, but after he was no longer a human, he was in a new position and saw more.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Although he was used to the life of a dragon, the memories of his previous life could not be forgotten no matter what.He is no longer human, but he cannot blend into the beast.

The strong should enjoy loneliness, but if they cannot belong to the same kind, complex language will be reduced to a simple growl, all their thoughts cannot be accurately conveyed to others, and all the creatures they come into contact with will either admire or be hostile. .....What is the difference between this and death?

——Mercer opened his eyes, his indifferent vertical pupils reflected the boiling lava, and his thoughts returned to the present.

There is still a difference, that is, he is still alive.

As long as he is alive, he can change everything. As long as he is alive, Mercer will have a long time to adapt to this loneliness.

Feeling the hot lava burning his body, Mercer's eyes settled and he spread his wings in the lava.

——Outside the volcano, watching the volcano gradually spread a thin layer of ash, the hunters temporarily stopped releasing explosives.

"How's it going?"

A hunter looked at the volcano with a telescope, but found nothing. He could only put down the telescope and replied: "No black dragon was found."

"You still refuse to come out..." The leader of a hunting group looked at the volcano shrouded in a layer of volcanic ash, not knowing what would happen next.

"Then wait a little longer and continue to deliver the supplies from the Hunter Guild."

"clear."

Some people were still standing on the spacecraft watching all this, while others gradually frowned.

"...Regiment, leader..."

On a spaceship, a hunter said hesitantly while looking at the volcano with a telescope.

"what happened?"

The leader of the hunting group came over, looked at him and asked.

"...Have you ever felt that the temperature of the volcano is getting higher?" The hunter looked at him uneasily.

"Have it?"

Just as the leader of the hunting group was answering doubtfully, a dull loud noise suddenly came from the volcano.

boom--

A small amount of magma suddenly exploded in the center of the volcano, spurting up into the sky and falling to the ground.

…Beyond that, there’s nothing.

Is this just a false alarm...?

Only Mercer knew that this was the prelude to the storm, the mercy before the cruelty in the ecology.

It is warning these hunters - run away!Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the hunters above regarded this as a false alarm.

Under the cover of volcanic ash, Mercer swam to the center of the lava, where the top was facing the crater, but the hunters outside could no longer see anything.

The lava became fiery and roiling little by little, and then the "water level" slowly rose, and disorderly turbulence came from underneath the lava.

The turbulent flows of lava collided and squeezed with each other. They were looking for an entrance and exit. Eventually, all the lava surged toward the crater.

——In the depths of the lava, in a scene that even Mercer could not see, a few feathers fell quietly into a crystal clear crystal.

Then, the crystal emitted a dazzling light, and in response, the surrounding crystals also emitted a light that was not inferior to that of lava.

In an instant, the red light in the lava could not be blocked even by the volcanic ash, completely illuminating the shadow of the floating island.

coming soon.

The wound was burned by the lava, and feeling the constant pain from his body, Mercer took a deep breath and controlled the hormones in his body.

His body actively secreted adrenaline, and Mercer's vertical pupils dilated slightly, his heart beat rapidly, and his breathing became rapid.

The blood circulates rapidly under the pumping of the heart, transporting oxygen to provide more energy to the body.

At the same time, the pain is also relieved in this actively entered state of excitement.

"What it is?"

Looking at the increasingly bright volcano, some people expressed uneasy fear.

--boom!

The next moment, their questions were answered. The lava crowded each other and spewed out from the crater. At the same time, it brought thick volcanic ash straight into the sky!

With the help of this power, Mercer flew high into the sky and rushed straight towards the floating island in the sky!

Chapter 116: The evil dragon in the smoke

——Mercer didn’t know much about the history of this volcano.

But judging from his knowledge of living in this volcano for several years, it should be a dormant volcano.

The so-called dormant volcanoes are volcanoes that have volcanic activity but are uncertain or have lost their ability to erupt.

Although there is a large amount of hot lava in this volcano, its activity is extremely stable for some reason, and there is basically no possibility of an eruption except for the Red Phoenix one.

What Mercer didn't know was that this volcano was formed over a long period of time by the power emanating from the red phoenix, which is why it is so special.

But no matter what, this volcano does not have the ability to erupt on its own, so even if it explodes with lava crystals, it will not be able to erupt a large amount of lava.

——But it doesn’t matter, Mercer’s goal has been achieved.

In the billowing smoke, the nictitating membrane in Mercer's eyes closed to prevent the eyeballs from being damaged by the volcanic ash while not impeding vision.

At this time, the thick volcanic ash spread slowly but firmly, and Mercer's figure also shuttled through the volcanic ash.

"A volcano erupted?!"

Seeing the approaching volcanic ash, the hunters made unexpected noises and then controlled the spacecraft to prepare to fly away.

However, in the thick smoke that obscured the view, several fireballs suddenly shot out and exploded on those spaceships.

Several hunters who were caught off guard were hit by the flames and died on the spot.

"What is that!"

"Report! I saw something moving through the volcanic ash...it was the black dragon!"

A group leader turned his head, looked at the figure flying in the volcanic ash, and gritted his teeth.

"Hiding his body with the help of volcanic ash...what a terrifying wisdom."

He shouted and gave the order: "Everyone, listen to my command! Turn around and face the black dragon!"

Not only him, but after noticing the appearance of the black dragon, the other spaceships not only did not leave, but gradually came closer.

The volcanic ash was still spreading, and they cleverly hid on the outside of the volcanic ash and did not approach rashly.

——At the same time, the people on the floating island are also closely observing the battle below.

In the base of the defense department, an officer observed the black dragon through the artillery sighting system under the floating island, and then frowned:

"You can't see clearly when you're hiding in volcanic ash. Can you switch to thermal mode?"

"clear."

The subordinate nodded and operated the screen.However, the scene on the screen was even more red. Not to mention the black dragon, even the spaceships could not be seen clearly.

"This......"

"It seems that the high temperature released by the volcano interfered with the thermal imaging. Do we want to change it back?" The subordinate turned around and asked.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the officer had no choice but to nod.

"Change back, record these, and send them to the Sky Island Federation."

"Yes."

......

The volcanic ash rose high, covering the clouds and the sun in a short time, and even a little spread to the bottom of the floating island.

At this time, even the normal image mode cannot see the action clearly, and the only information that can be obtained is the sound below.

"How's it going?" the officer asked the subordinate who was listening attentively in front of him.

Hearing this, the subordinate frowned and shook his head: "No, it's very quiet down there. There are obviously sounds of spaceships and hunters, but there are no sounds of attacks or black dragons."

"What's going on?" The officer scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Is it hiding?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another subordinate not far away suddenly exclaimed: "No, no! The black dragon has appeared! It has come to the side of the floating island!"

"--what!"

The officer was startled and quickly came behind the subordinate. He looked at the screen in front of him. At an angle where the volcanic ash was not yet thick, the black dragon was flying rapidly. Its wings flapped and it quickly disappeared from the screen. middle.

"Hurry up and change the perspective! Where is it flying to?"

The officer's heart was beating wildly, and there was an unconscious tremor in his voice.

"It...it, it's going to the top of the floating island!" The subordinate quickly operated in front of the screen and shouted in panic: "It has arrived at the port!"

"Then why don't you click on it quickly!"

The officer roared, angrily scolding the subordinate in front of him for his slowness, but he himself began to tremble involuntarily.

How many years?No... Ever since the establishment of the Floating Island, no creature has appeared above the Floating Island, let alone set foot on the land of the Floating Island!

After all, this is what everyone believes in, a protective umbrella from predators!How could the residents above have seen animals!It’s good to see even one sheep!

Even the officers themselves had only seen a few beasts imprisoned in cages during training.

No one knows what kind of disaster it will cause if the black dragon climbs into it!
