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

After eating and sleeping, and eating when he slept, he felt more and more like the dragon in his memory, and Mercer as a human was slowly fading away in his memory.Even the sense of crisis stemming from this strange world gradually disappeared, as if he had completely integrated into this world.

Unknowingly, Mercer flew over a mountain. In order to avoid the investigation of the elves, this area was an area he had never been close to.

Just as he was about to turn around, he was keenly aware that the smell here was somewhat familiar.

He slowly lowered his body, his wings scraping against the trees, and a large number of branches and leaves fell down, making a clattering sound.

Mercer looked around, thinking about the smell in his memory.

Then, only a roar was heard, and Mercer looked towards a hidden corner.

Under the messy vines, a big brown bear stared at Mercer and roared threateningly.

Behind the vines, there is a secret cave that is difficult to find without looking carefully.

Seeing the burn marks on the brown bear's shoulder, Mercer thought for a while, and then suddenly realized.

He remembered that three years ago, he was defeated by this brown bear. Later he met the elf and fled here in a panic.

Mercer looked at it with nostalgia, but couldn't help but lick his tongue.

Roar......

Seeing that Mercer was still unmoved, the big brown bear made a ferocious expression but did not make any move. If you look closely, you can even see that the hair on its body is exploding unconsciously, trying to enlarge its size and threaten Mercer. .

Come to think of it, Mercer three years ago was a whole circle smaller than a brown bear, so he naturally posed no threat compared to a brown bear.But Mercer is no longer what he used to be. The two brown bears together are not as tall as him, not to mention that Mercer also possesses a [ferocious aura] similar to that of a dragon. With the two combined, it is difficult for the brown bear to take the initiative to attack Mo. Se.

Chapter 12: Outsiders

Seeing the big brown bear that was neither advancing nor retreating, Mercer wanted to laugh in his heart and took the initiative to walk towards it.

Roar!

Seeing Mercer approaching, the big brown bear also took a few fierce steps forward, then stood up and raised its forelimbs, trying to intimidate Mercer in this way.

"Roar--"

Naturally, Mercer showed no sign of weakness. He walked toward the brown bear with a low growl, his eyes full of hunger for food.

Finally, the brown bear couldn't restrain its fear. It roared angrily and charged towards Mercer with its teeth and claws bared.

It grabbed Mercer's head, put its lower limbs on the ground, and raised its claws to scratch Mercer's face.

But its gray claws scratched the scales on Mercer's face, leaving only a shallow mark.

The touch on the paw was unexpected to the brown bear, and the expression on its face was obviously stunned.

It was this hesitation that made Mercer shake his head violently and hit it against a nearby tree.

The tall trees shook and some leaves fell.

Mercer pounced on it again, biting the flesh on its back and tearing it apart.

Feeling the danger of Mercer's sharp teeth and flesh being torn apart, the brown bear immediately screamed.

With Mercer's current bite strength, it would not be difficult to tear off its body, but he did not do so.Because this time he was not just for prey, but also because of the revenge in his heart.

He dragged the brown bear and threw it into the cave.

Even if Mercer reached this size, he could still freely move around in the cave. It was a pity that such a good residence was not snatched away.

Mercer thought with some malice, then he spread his wings to block the entrance of the hole, and then grinned to reveal a row of sharp fangs.

The breath organ in the mouth begins to brew.

woohoo...

The brown bear whined and climbed up. The first thing he saw was Mercer blocking the entrance to the cave and the fire accumulated in his mouth.

The brown bear opened its eyes wide, seeming to remember something from its expression.

But the next moment, its figure was buried in flames.

call--

The scorching flames filled the cave, continuing to burn everything in the cave. The mountain walls were scorched black, and the sound of raging flames was everywhere.

The exhalation organ is activated by squeezing the muscles to eject the liquid in the exhalation organ. It is not the exhalation that you associate with watching movies and TV shows, and it is not linked to lung capacity.Therefore, Mercer could breathe continuously for a full minute.

But he didn't do that. About half a minute later, Mercer closed his mouth and walked towards the big brown bear that was burning with hot flames.

Perhaps it was because this guy had rough skin and thick flesh, and the flames only burned on the outer skin during the breathing time, without causing much damage to the inside. Therefore, it just rolled on the ground wailing, and even tried to crawl to another entrance to extinguish it. flame.

Of course Mercer would not allow it to do this. He pressed down with his palm and caught the brown bear so that he could not move.

But out of the desire to survive, the brown bear burst out with amazing strength under Mercer's surprised eyes, and broke away from Mercer's restraint little by little.

So before it could completely break free, Mercer lowered his head and bit down on its shoulder.

It was the exact same attack site he used three years ago, but this time, with the help of Mercer's amazing bite force, a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off.

Although the outside was burnt, Mercer was not disgusted.

He swallowed the brown bear's skin and meat, lowered his head again, and bit off its neck cleanly.

The sudden revenge was over, and Mercer began to enjoy the food.

Gaci, gaci... the creepy chewing sounds sounded in the charred cave.

After enjoying the meal, Mercer walked out of the cave. The vines covered the cave entrance, and only thick smoke slowly rose.

The meat of the brown bear is partly tough and chewy, and partly soft and delicious, which is really unforgettable for Mercer.

Speaking of which, there is a family of bears not far from my habitat. Do you want to eat them too?

With this thought in mind, Mercer spread his wings and flew up to the top of the tree, looking for his next prey.

......

The huge wings flew over the top of the tree, blocking the sunlight leaking through the gaps between the leaves at that moment. The two men and two women walking in the woods noticed it, but when they raised their heads, they could only see the lush leaves.

"What was that just now?"

"A species of winged beast in the forest of giant trees?"

"I had a chilling feeling just now... was it an illusion?"

Everyone started talking, and finally, a tall woman wearing a red and black animal pattern cloak and carrying a large firearm touched her arm worriedly.

"Miss Sola, you haven't seen her either?"

A man carrying a machete asked her.

"I've only been here a few times, so I don't know so much. What do you feel, Dale?"

Sora rolled his eyes and looked at the cold woman beside him.

Unlike Sola, who is in red and black, Dale is wearing a snow-white windbreaker and is a cold beauty with cold colors all over her body.

The so-called "bitterly cold" is not a description. The source of the coldness comes from the two daggers carried on her back... Compared to other weapons that are longer than the body, the arm-long blade is indeed a dagger.The gauntlets of the double swords also have the fluff of an unknown creature as a source of warmth. Judging from the texture of the fluff and the windbreaker worn by Dale, it seems that this is material from the same creature.

"Of course I don't know more about what you can't feel, but at least that creature didn't notice us." Dale said calmly.

"That's right...we can just ask the villagers when the time comes."

Sora nodded in agreement and looked at the others:

"In this direction, we'll reach Morito's village in another half day's walk."

"Ms. Sora, what are the Mori people like? For example, what customs or etiquette do they have? Can you tell us about them so that we can avoid any offensive behavior if we go to their village?"

"Well, you need to be careful. Mori people are human beings too." Sora smiled and said: "Unlike the 'sea people' and 'forged people', except for their pointed ears, they are different from us There’s not much difference.”

"I heard that people in Mori are very beautiful, with average handsome boys and beautiful girls. Is that true?"

"Is it said that Mori people wear very little?...I wonder if we people who wear so much will not look at them?"

Hearing their questions, Sola scratched his head and felt a little distressed: "What you said is correct. The average appearance of these Mori people is indeed quite tall. Also, the saying that they wear very little... Actually, The skin of the Mori people is different from ours. Their bodies are very sensitive to wind direction and temperature, which is conducive to sensing changes around them. Moreover, their personalities are quite simple. If we explain the situation to them, they will understand us. ....There is no need to change clothes or anything like that.”

After saying this in one breath, she simply waved her hand: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just go and see it and you will know."

After hearing her words, everyone calmed down and followed her calmly.

Chapter 13: Friends

"Grandma Lizi, are you looking for me?"

Kulu opened the door and saw Luo Er sitting in the room.

"Hey? Instructor, why are you here?"

Three years have passed. From the outside, she has not grown much. Although Kulu looks small, she is actually past the age of development. In addition to her temperament being slightly more mature than before,

She looked at Luo Er's clothes with some confusion, feeling that her instructor was wearing something more serious today.

"Little Kuru, come on, sit down."

Grandma Lizi is a gentle old man. The long years have left deep marks on her face. Her figure has shrunk a bit, but she always carries a sense of maturity and reliability that she has everything under control.

Kulu came to the opposite side of Li Zi and sat down next to Luo Er. She looked a little puzzled as Granny Li Zi took a leisurely sip of hot tea.

"...Well, Grandma Lizi, what do you want to see me for?"

"It's not an important thing to you, but you're not too young anymore. Little Luo Er thought that he should also perform his duties as an instructor, so he took you with him and planned to let you study hard later. "Lizi said slowly with a peaceful expression.

"The instructor?"

Kulu looked at Luo Er beside her, and Luo Er sighed helplessly and put down the envelope in his hand:

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that my friend has something to come to the village for."

"Friend? From outside the village?" Hearing her say this, Kulu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Basically, the people in the village have never been outside the outside world, and most of them are extremely curious about the existence of the outside world.

"Who is who? Male or female?"

"Ah...it's those little girls."

Unlike Kuroo who was active, Riko reacted quickly.

"Yes, but Ke Laixi didn't come. It is said that she is pregnant."

"That little girl with the big sword on her back? What a congratulations."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the expression on Kulu's face became even more puzzled:

"...What are you talking about? Instructor, who are your friends!"

"When I was young, I left here for fun. I met a few human friends by chance and wandered with them for a few years."

Luo Er turned his head, not wanting to think of the past when he ran away from home.

Lizi took up the words naturally:

"That was all a long time ago. When you came back, Luo Er, I couldn't believe you had such an experience."

The two of them talked about Lore's past experiences in one sentence, but just like that, it was enough to shock Kulu:

"Instructor, why didn't you tell me? What do human beings look like? Are they ugly? Do they all wear thick clothes? I heard that human beings live in the sky. This is true. ?!" Her eyes were shining brightly, and her inquisitive behavior was like a puppy going shopping for the first time, full of a strong sense of novelty towards everything.

"It's all...Although what you said is a bit exaggerated, it's all right." Luo Er turned her head embarrassedly. She felt the admiration in Kulu's eyes for the first time in a long time. You must know that this She only had such an attitude when she first became a disciple. It was not until Kulu gradually became familiar with her style that her respect turned into contempt...

"Really? Humans really live in the sky?!" Kulu opened her mouth, "How on earth is this done..."

"——This kind of thing can be traced back to a long, long time ago, when even the Mori people did not exist..." Li Zi held the tea cup and narrowed her eyes as she began to reminisce, "According to the information passed down by the ancients, it is said that At that time, there were no ferocious monsters like fire dragons, and civilization's technology was more advanced than it is now... Until a natural disaster called [Cataclysm] occurred, docile creatures turned into ferocious beasts, and the whole world was turned upside down. . In order to avoid the disaster on the ground, some humans hid on floating islands, and some people stayed on the ground to survive... Later, as time passed, the people who stayed on the ground became Mori people, Forging people, or Hairen..."

Lizi's eyes were blurred, but she suddenly came back to her senses and smiled sheepishly:

"The topic has gone too far. Anyway, little Kulu, you need to know that it's not surprising that people live in the sky. The world outside is very big... Of course, this is very important to me, an old woman who has never been out of the village in her life. I don’t have much say in this aspect, it’s up to Luo Er in this regard.”

"Where is this? The outside world is not so safe." Luo Er scratched his head in distress and said: "Anyway, I will tell you about the outsiders. After getting your permission, I will Just notify the doorman, as they may be here soon."

"Little Luol's friends are, of course, friends of our village." Lizi replied with a smile, and she easily agreed.

"——Chief of Lizi Village!"

Just as she nodded in agreement, a voice suddenly came from the door.

"Please come in."

A guard opened the door and saw Luo Er among them. He was stunned for a moment and said, "There are four outsiders outside the village. One of them said that she was a friend of Miss Luo Er and hoped to be allowed in."

"Oh! Are Sora and the others here?" Hearing what the guard said, Luo immediately stood up and ran out of the village. Kulu also followed him out of curiosity, leaving only Li Zi smiled helplessly:
