Ancient dragons are the original beings crystallized from the power of steel after the birth of the world. They are the common ancestors of all living beings in the world and the source of blood. The purpose of their birth is to sow the seeds of life and fill the empty and desolate world with vitality.
In different worlds, the original has different names - the World Tree, the Turtle Carrying the World, the Ring Serpent, etc. The reason why the ancient dragon is called the ancient dragon is because in the Mycroft continent, their most numerous descendants are called the original world. Dragons, so they are also called ancient dragons with similar figures.
Ancient dragons have different strengths, their numbers are unknown, and their specific ecological conditions are unknown. Everything is unknown. They are born with the ability to move freely in the void and are not bound by world barriers. Because of this, there is a speculation in the ancient dragon academic community: it is very likely that not all the ancient dragons that have been observed in Mycroft's world are native, and a very large part are wandering ancient dragons from other worlds.
This guess is actually very convincing, because although the blood of humans themselves has some connection with the ancient dragons in the original world, they are essentially completely different creatures. This proves that humans and the original dragons are , at least one of which was conceived by an ancient dragon-primordial life from another different world. In fact, judging from the fact that dragon-shaped lifeforms and humanoid creatures are spread across the multiverse, either the ancestors of both are not native to the Mycroft continent, or the ancient dragons in the Mycroft world have long since left this world. The world that gave birth to it wanders around the multiverse, spreading the seeds of life.
The multiverse is vast, but there are actually very few that have life. You must know that because the concentration of the power of steel is different, not every world can give birth to its own original life and create the original ecosystem, and the ancient dragon's So they like to wander in the multiverse precisely because their mission is to bring life to the world. They will help create a suitable ecosystem for worlds that cannot produce life independently. From this perspective, Gu Long plays the role of de facto creator.
Some people follow the footsteps of the ancient dragon because of its powerful power, some explore the mystery of the ancient dragon because they want to know the perfect form of life, and some pursue the traces of the ancient dragon because they want to know the source of all things... Because of that powerful, perfect and beautiful posture, No matter what world it is, there are people who want to find ancient dragons. But unfortunately, as long as civilization develops to a certain level and the ecosystem is stable enough to be able to repair itself, then the ancient dragons will disappear. They will either sleep or Leave, but no matter what, they will always disappear from people's sight, leaving only a few legends in ancient books. ①
But even so, there will still be people who will not give up, for the sake of power and perfection, for their own curiosity and desire... Of course, the most important thing is the original power that is enough to create all things and reshape the ecosystem. The primitive life force that most civilizations cannot grasp no matter how far they advance.
Countless civilizations and worlds are longing for it. In order to restore the damage caused by the war, to repair the broken ecosystem, and to make the continent that has long been turned into scorched earth appear green again. There are thousands of reasons, but their desires are all the same. Equally strong, they are eager to find ancient dragons and obtain the power they want from these beings.
When the roar of the ancient dragon shook the world and caused tiny ripples to appear in the void of the entire abyss, it was not just the ancient dragon chasers in Mycroft Continent who felt the throb. Other demons in the abyss, the five-color dragon clan, and many others Civilizations in unknown worlds have noticed that at the far end of time and space, the original dragon has awakened from its long sleep in ancient times and reappeared in the world.
—So, the door to all realms is opened.
The cross-border legions were ready to go, the void fleets all set out, and the army of extraordinary people swore an oath in the capital square. Under the wave of the great demon tide, many anxious but still capable worlds and civilizations opened their long-closed doors. Leaving home again, heading to the far reaches of time and space.
For the first and last hope.
The world of Kronos, the Kronos Mountains, the original nameless calendar of the dragon people, the 419th year, the rainy season.
In the Kronos Mountains, which are suitable for dragon people to survive and are warm, snow only exists on the tops of certain higher peaks. Frost is a rare thing. During the coldest time, which is probably the dry season, snow from the north of the Desert of Gods When the white wind rages. During the days when the white wind lasts, large amounts of dust and grit will obscure the sky and the sun, causing the weather to plummet to near-freezing conditions.
But now the rainy season is different. Although rainfall will cause the temperature to drop, the sun that becomes hotter after the rain will raise the temperature in the mountains to almost a sauna level. But for the dragon people, the high temperature environment is normal. Suitable for their actions, the humid environment during the rainy season also happens to allow their natural lightning abilities to be used several times more effectively.
Kronos Mountains, misty forest.
Viewed from the sky, this is a forest located next to a large rift valley. The rushing river flows turbulently in the depths of the rift valley, making a rumbling sound. White water mist rises from the valley, covering the surrounding forest, forming a There was a thick fog. But in such a forest completely shrouded in mist, a piercing scream of a giant beast suddenly came. The shrill sound frightened countless birds from the forest, and other monsters around them also turned their heads in surprise. Look in the direction where the scream came from.
There are powerful monsters living in the misty forest. This is a fact known to all surrounding dragon villages and monsters. All dragons and monsters that enter the mist due to carelessness will disappear in the roar of the Rift Valley River and turn into White bones. For this reason, no monsters or dragons have been close to this forest for a long time, but now such a shrill scream suddenly comes. Could it be that there are some new monsters being hunted
Most of the monsters thought so, and the demon hunters who were patrolling around heard that the screams were not coming from dragons, so they didn't pay too much attention.
But the reality is completely opposite to what they thought.
Somewhere in the misty forest, there was a strong smell of blood coming from the hole of a giant tree that had long since died but was still not decaying.
The main trunk of the giant tree is more than thirty meters high and more than ten meters in diameter. It is a rare dragon moss tree in the Kronos Mountains. This giant tree is said to be born from the blood of the dragon god. It can secrete resin that can strengthen monsters, even if it is The dead scent will also make monsters feel comfortable, so the area around Dragon Moss Wood has always been a lair for powerful monsters. And in the hole of such a giant tree, there is light blue liquid flowing out, exuding a strong smell of blood, and you can vaguely feel that the strong magic power that is enough to make people feel uncomfortable is dissipating in all directions. .
The tree hole should be dark, but there is milky white fluorescence flickering on the inner wall. This is the fluorescent moss that has always been symbiotic with the dragon moss. These strange moss feed on magic and can release fluorescence in the dark. If one If the dragon moss tree is still alive, it will emit a conspicuous white fluorescence at night, making it easy to spot. And because of the fluorescence, it was possible to see that there was the corpse of a huge monster in the center of the tree hole.
This monster is all black and looks like a bat, but it has a long, barbed tail. Its forelimbs are also very developed, and its strong body is full of smooth muscles. Taken together, it seems to be a combination of a leopard and a bat. The hybrid must have moved very quickly in life. In a place like the misty forest where one cannot see beyond five meters, he was definitely an extremely powerful hunter. But now, this powerful hunter has turned into a corpse. A huge, explosion-like wound appeared in its heart, instantly destroying all its vitality. Light blue blood spurted out from it, causing the entire The tree holes are all dyed blue.
And not far from the monster's corpse, there was a blue-haired dragon girl lying in a pool of blood, panting feebly.
An underage dragon girl, Lisa. At this time, her blue hair with electric arcs was gradually returning to black. Although Lisa was not injured at all, if you could see through the skin and look directly at the muscles in her body, you could clearly see that the girl's body had been damaged. What a severe injury - it was as if all the power in the body was mobilized in an instant, and then burst out in one breath. This powerful power naturally exceeded the upper limit of what a dragon man of this age could exert, and naturally caused the girl to suffer. The terrible backlash caused 80% of the muscles in her body to be torn apart.
The silence between the monster that had turned into a corpse and the dragon girl who looked like a corpse lasted for another ten seconds. After that, a weak voice broke the strange atmosphere.
"Mr. Syndicate... Ahem, it's not easy... Ahem, there is so much blood, don't waste it..."
She had to cough several times to say a word, but Lisa still said it intermittently. After that, she raised her trembling right hand and groped towards her chest - the dragon girl took out a A strange 'pendant' that was green all over, and then placed it in the blood of the monster beside him.
"Soon, the surrounding monsters will smell the smell of blood... Ahem, we need to leave quickly!"
"You don't need to remind me, I know it! Just... let me rest for a while."
The moment it touched the blood, the original pendant immediately deformed and turned into a gel-like slime. However, this slime was surrounded by tiny arcs of electricity, which made it look quite extraordinary. Syndicate's tone was equally weak: "In the 'transformation' state just now, I was responsible for helping you convert the power that can kill with one hit. In fact, the consumption was greater than yours... But it was definitely a profit! I don't know how long this monster has lived. Hunting No matter how many of my kind I have killed, the energy contained in this blood is enough to restore me to 0.7% of my peak strength!"
"Hey, it's only 0.7%?!"
After many days of training by the Balrog - now called the Electric Demon - Lisa has learned basic mathematics and some basic physics. This is all knowledge contained in the propulsion of electric current. It is the basis of the inheritance of that adult. Of course she understands What does 0.7% mean? It is the so-called seven thousandths. The girl's voice was surprised: "Ahem - this is the Lord of the Mist, one of the strongest monsters around the village. The energy in its body is only Can you, Mr. Syndicate, regain a little bit of your strength?"
When she said this, Lisa's wide eyes were full of doubt: "Don't brag, Mr. Syndicate, with your soft body, you can't be too strong no matter how you think about it, right?"
"You dragon-man brat!"
Hearing these words, Cindy was about to explode with anger. As the former Great Demon of the Abyss, when had it been despised to this extent? ? If it hadn't been hunted down and seriously injured, and had no choice but to fall into an unknown world, and had to separate its core body in order to protect itself, how could it be so weak as it is now! But even this was not the reason for the Dragon Man kid to look down on him so much. In anger, the Syndicate tried its best to absorb the energy from the blood pool. Gradually, the abnormal overflowing magic power in the tree hole disappeared, and the fluorescence The moss also became dim and withered, because the magic power they relied on for survival was taken away by a powerful being.
Lisa also naturally sensed this abnormality. Due to the powerful self-healing ability of rapid metabolism, the girl was able to move a little at this time. She raised her head curiously, but saw a light blue slime that was several times larger. 'It was crawling towards the gap in the monster's heart, and poured into the monster's body like water.
After a while, the monster's body immediately began to shrink, as if all the water and essence in the body had been sucked dry. After a while, the body shape returned to the original size of the pendant, but the Syndicate, which had turned sky blue, appeared in front of Lisa again. At this time, it was suspended in mid-air, with blue-purple arcs wrapped around its body. , like a thunderball, evaporating the blood that had no energy in the entire tree hole, and the precisely controlled electric current even dried the wet clothes on the girl's body.
"So strong, Mr. Syndicate!"
The dragon girl who felt much more comfortable immediately gave out a heartfelt praise. She blinked her eyes and smiled stupidly at the electric ball in the air: "I said it wrong. It seems that Mr. Syndicate must have been very strong before. After all, he is Falling from the sky, your body can turn into meteorite!"
"As long as you know!"
After all, Enma is not a complicated thinker. After receiving a few words of praise from Lisa, he immediately put aside his previous anger. It returned to the dragon girl's hands and turned into a pendant and hung it on the other person's neck. superior. The Syndicate said in a calm tone: "I cooperated with you before to gather our two powers at the same time and explode them all. Then I killed this monster with one blow while it was sleeping... For this reason, we lurked for more than ten people." For an hour, I used my power to block the opponent's perception, but it won't be so troublesome in the future. I will help you increase your power through a contract later. In this way, next time you hunt, you only need to find the right time to 'transform'. Able to kill with one quick strike."
The so-called transformation is the name of a certain cooperation between Lisa and Syndicate. Because today's Syndicate does not have a real body, only the body as the core of energy storage, so if you want to exert your full power, you must cooperate with Lisa. By cooperating, Balrog will temporarily transfer his power to the dragon girl, allowing the other party to use this power to fight, and it will only assist the girl in running energy. Because this combination will cause Lisa's black hair to turn into a thunderous blue, so it is popularly named transformation.
"Yeah, but what about the test prey?"
Lisa's thoughts were also very simple. In addition to responding to the Syndicate, she raised a new question: "The test will be over soon, but we have spent almost all our time hunting the Lord of Mist. When the time comes, the test If you fail, Dad will be very disappointed!”
This time, the Syndicate and Lisa were able to leave the village and go hunting in the forest outside the village because they went out together with the apprentice demon hunters who had successfully awakened in the village to participate in the first hunting test. The adult demon hunter will carve out a forest, drive away the powerful monsters inside, and then let the newly awakened draconian boys and girls enter it to hunt their first prey.
How could Lisa and the Syndicate let them go if they had a legitimate chance to go out? After all, Balrog is the former ultimate mind. With its relatively strong spiritual power, the two of them easily escaped from the surveillance of adult demon hunters and came to the most powerful monster habitat that the Syndicate could sense, the misty forest. They found the Mist Lord's lair and concealed themselves through the power of the Syndicate. Then, when the other party was most vulnerable while sleeping, they used their most powerful abilities to kill him with one blow.
"Just find a weak monster and kill it. With the power you and I have now, ordinary adult demon hunters are definitely no match for you, let alone weak monsters."
Syndicate's tone was confident, but it didn't mean it was just talking casually.
In the final analysis, Lisa is a pure-blood dragon who is rare to meet in a hundred years. Although she is not fully awakened and cannot exert great power, her potential is absolutely amazing. With the super-fast metabolism and high-intensity exercise caused by the Balrog, after more than ten days, Lisa's physical fitness has been close to, or even surpassed that of some adult dragons. The price is just that she may not grow taller in the future.
In addition, Lisa also has bloodline power that far exceeds that of ordinary dragons, that is, the power of thunder and lightning. And this powerful lightning power, coupled with the demon king's first-level inherited current boost, combined with the power exerted by Syndicate, is enough to kill the fog with one blow, which even the entire team of demon hunters may not be able to handle. Lord. Now, the Syndicate has recovered a little bit of strength due to absorbing the blood and energy essence of the monsters. This strength combined with the knowledge and combat experience of the Great Demon level can indeed boast of being invincible in this forest.
"Ugh, it hurts so much... but I can now walk normally."
After relaxing for a while, Lisa stood up again, and could hear the crisp sound caused by the vibration of the bones in the dragon girl's body. With many days of careful teaching by Enma, she has learned most of the low-level applications of electric current propulsion - such as controlling electric current to paralyze enemies through the air, stimulating muscles to exert far greater strength than usual, and she can also use magnetic fields to Accelerate or slow down the attack of metal weapons, and even use the electromagnetic field to detect monsters lurking in the surrounding forest.
It can even stimulate nerves and muscles, accelerating the body's regeneration capabilities.
Ability, strength, speed, defense, regeneration and observation abilities have increased in all directions. This is the inheritance from a high extraordinary civilization. The skills contained in it far exceed the dragon people's original experience accumulation. The girl does not know that what she is using now, It is an experimental advanced inheritance that is inaccessible to most ordinary knights and magicians in Mycroft Continent. It is a legendary powerhouse. Joshua Van Radcliffe obtained it through the analysis of his own huge magnetic field power. summary. Possessing this level of skills in the Kronos Mountains is equivalent to having a spaceship in the primitive tribal era. It is only a matter of time before she becomes the number one demon hunter.
"Don't delay, our time is very tight... To be honest, I really don't want you to follow those demon hunters back now. We should seize the time to hunt more monsters and restore more of my strength. Otherwise, I will when… "
Unlike the girl who is relaxed, the Syndicate is very anxious. It knows what is coming to the world. The power of the ancient dragon is indeed powerful. Even if it can block the army of the abyss lord, it is not surprising. The doomsday battle that happened is probably a way of saying that the ancient dragon repelled the attack of a certain abyss lord. But even so, the destruction caused by the invasion of the demon army turned the entire world into a desert.
In this matter, it does not have a real body. Even if it has powerful energy, it can only be exerted by 'transforming' with Lisa. In order to prevent himself from dying, he also does not let the girl who has made a contract with him die. It must become stronger as soon as possible.
Protecting Lisa is just incidental, protecting the contractor, nothing more.
"It's not impossible... Although it will make dad worried, this is the first time I have been so far away from home, and I don't want to go back so early."
Lisa didn't have any objections. She didn't understand the Syndicate's anxiety, but she would subconsciously not make the other party feel embarrassed, so she happily said: "Then, shall we continue to hunt powerful monsters? But before that, I'll eat something first, I'm so hungry..."
High-speed regeneration and consumption will indeed make people feel hungry quickly, and the Syndicate did not object. It turned into a pendant and said: "Then first find a place to catch a weak monster to eat. After eating, we will go to the north , there is a powerful monster there, which should be able to restore 0.5% of my power."
"Uh-huh!"
With such a pleasant response, Lisa left the dragon moss tree hole with brisk steps. The girl quickly left the misty forest and moved towards the north.
But just when she caught a weak monster, killed it, made a fire, and ate barbecue, the Syndicate suddenly used mental communication and ordered in an extremely stern, yet frightened tone: "Quick! Lisa, put out the fire!”
"Now! Hide! I'll cover you, hide in the bushes!"
"yes!"
Lisa, who had just eaten half full and was about to continue, looked confused, but she still obeyed the Syndicate's instructions, put out the fire as fast as she could, used electricity to clean her body, and then hid in the bushes not far away. Lurking in the bush, the Syndicate immediately added a layer of vaguely perceived spiritual shield, completely hiding their figures.
The next moment, before Lisa could figure out what was going on, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from a distance.
What appeared in the eyes of the curious Lisa and the serious Syndicate was a behemoth five or six meters tall - it had bat-like wings, two goat-like horns, and a pair of large fangs. Mouth. Its thick limbs were covered with well-developed muscles and a solid carapace, its eyes shone with a strange dark purple light, and its whole body exuded the smell of sulfur.
The ground it walked on turned into scorched earth, the vegetation withered, and the fallen leaves burned. The humid air became dry the moment this behemoth appeared, and the scorching wind spread in all directions with the flapping of its huge wings.
"Wing Demon."
The Syndicate used mental communication and said in an extremely serious tone, "The Abyss Winged Demon is only one step away from the Great Demon!"
"Has the devil's advance team actually come to this world?!"
After Lisa saw the demon's ferocious and terrifying face, the instinct contained in her blood immediately made her understand that the opponent was an existence that she could not defeat no matter what, and she had to stay away, escape, and run as far away as possible. !
- Such a huge body, such a powerful force... If the teacher can't stop it, neither can the father! The entire demon hunting team cannot stop him!
Knowing this fact in her heart in an instant, the dragon girl's originally curious heart suddenly turned cold: "Such a powerful monster has come near the village, and I must inform my father and the others as soon as possible!"
"Ah! The test team is still nearby!"
And just when Lisa suddenly remembered this fact, the Abyss Winged Demon sniffed the air, and then muttered in Abyssal: "The smell of fire and barbecue... Are there dragons around?"
It grinned and said with a cruel smile: "I like the taste of these little guys. Their blood is very strong and much more delicious than humans, lizardmen and the like."
But before the winged demon could flutter its wings and fly around, looking for traces of those "delicious little guys" it called, a flash of red suddenly appeared in the sky above the Colonos Mountains.
“Buzz——————”
Accompanied by a slight buzzing that seemed to resound in the ears of all living creatures, the sky suddenly changed color, and the originally blue sky turned into pitch black in an instant. Countless silver stars hung high in the sky, releasing little bits of brilliance. It felt as if a barrier that originally covered the entire sky and the world suddenly dissipated, revealing the reality behind the false sky. And among the silver stars, countless red light spots were spreading, and they were in the dark sky. Red tracks were drawn in the middle, falling towards the whole world.
Those are meteorites, hundreds, thousands, tens of millions of meteorites. They fell from outside the world and came to this world with flames that burned everything.
At this moment, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the mountains trembled, and the long roar of the dragon came from the center of the desert in the distance. The anger and weakness in the roar could be heard. Along with countless meteorites falling to the earth, the Kronos Mountains burned in an instant. When a fire breaks out, you can see countless winged dragons and demons, as well as many unknown creatures flying in the sky. They fight with each other, but try not to destroy everything on the surface. They will even take the initiative To extinguish the flames lit by his own arrival, and not to destroy this mountain range.
Strange battles and disputes are unfolding throughout the Kronos Mountains, leaving the monsters and dragons who originally lived in this land at a loss.
"The Legion is finally here!"
The original winged demon suddenly showed joy - although in Lisa's view, it was still ugly and ferocious. It immediately gave up its plan to find the surrounding dragons, then flapped its wings, flew into the sky, and started fighting with a bipedal pterosaur. .
And in the distance, the desert center of God.
The silver ancient dragon hid himself in the iron sand storm and stared indifferently outside the world. The several powerful beings were confronting each other and looking down at this small world. Among them were giant dragons, demons, and many strange races. The strong one.
After hundreds of years, the war between it and the Doomsday has begun again.
At the other end of time and space, the world of Mycroft, the northern land of Moldavia, the Great Ajax Mountains.
"The coordinates have reappeared and been verified again, the 587th floor of the abyss!"
"From a world perspective, it's not far from us, but it's still quite a long distance."
Among the clouds, the experimental airship named 'Observer', the vehicle of the two legendary mages, was rising slowly. As it rose faster and faster, the runes on the outer armor rotated faster and faster. , faint blue space-time ripples visible to the naked eye began to appear around the airship, and it could already be seen that a door leading to the void had slowly opened above it.
"Strange, many huge energy fluctuations were found around the target world approaching..."
But when he was about to set off, William's expression was not relaxed. He frowned and stared seriously at the light screen on the console in front of him: "Maybe what Joshua said is right, except for us, indeed There are many forces that peek at the ancient dragon."
"To be honest, I'm not going to compete with those guys for the ancient dragon. I just want to protect this treasure of the multiverse."
Barnier responded to his friend's words. He turned back and glanced at Joshua: "Instead of being like this guy, who attacks as soon as they meet."
Behind the two men, the soldier shrugged. He had no energy to argue with the two old men.
"Anyway, the engine is warmed up... and the void passage is opened."
Seeing that Joshua did not respond, Barnier and William did not say much. The two sat in the cab, debugging the experimental aerostat that they had modified countless times. They all showed an excited smile. :"Set off!"
The next moment, accompanied by extremely powerful fluctuations in time and space, the black door of time and space opened, and a small white floating boat suddenly disappeared over the Great Ajax Mountains.
====No money required for the following====
① There were traces of ancient dragons appearing in Mycroft Continent four hundred years ago. This was because the flames of Mycroft Continent were extinguished at that time, and the ecosystem was very unstable. At that time, the civilization of Mycroft Continent was still in the Middle Ages. So I can't understand the importance of ancient dragon.
In fact, most civilizations are like this until the last moment. Because they exist, they don't pay attention to them. They will only regret it after the ancient dragon leaves.
The original reason for the invasion of the abyss demons in the previous life was partly because of this. The Mycroft Continent has traces of multiple ancient dragons.
Ancient dragons are just called that because I think they are handsome. In fact, in other worlds, there are many primitive beings that are not dragon-shaped, but look like plants or other creatures.
