Soul of Burning Steel

Gulong, the original life crystallized by the power of steel after the birth of the world, they are the common ancestors of all living beings in the world, the source of blood.

In different worlds, Primordials have different names—the World Tree, the Tortoise that Carries the World, the Serpent that Rings the World, etc., and the reason why the ancient dragons are called ancient dragons is because in the Mycroft Continent, their descendants with the largest number are called Primordial Dragons. Jielong, so they are also called ancient dragons with a similar figure.

The strength of the ancient dragons varies, the number is unknown, the specific ecological situation is unknown, everything is unknown, they are born with the ability to move freely in the void, and will not be bound by the world barrier. Because of this, there is such a speculation in the world of ancient dragons: the ancient dragons that have been observed in the Mycroft world are very likely not all native, and a very large part of them are wandering ancient dragons from other worlds.

This guess is actually very convincing, because although the blood of human beings has some connection with the ancient times of the original world dragon, they are completely different creatures in essence, which proves that human beings and the original world dragon , at least one of which was conceived by an ancient dragon from a different world - the original life. In fact, judging from the fact that dragon-shaped life forms and human-shaped creatures are scattered throughout the multiverse, either the ancestors of the two are not native to the Mycroft continent, or the ancient dragons of the Mycroft world have long left this land. The world that gave birth to it wandered the multiverse, spreading the seeds of life.

The multiverse is vast and boundless, but there are actually very few people who 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 ecological circle. So I like to wander in the multiverse, precisely because the mission of their birth is to make the world alive, and they will help those worlds that cannot give birth to life on their own to create a suitable ecological circle. From this perspective, Gu Long plays the role of the de facto creator.

Some people follow in the footsteps of the ancient dragon because of its powerful power, some explore the mysteries of the ancient dragon because they want to know the perfect form of life, some chase after the trace 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 kind of 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 ecological circle is stable enough to repair itself, then the ancient dragons will disappear, and they will either sleep or fall asleep. It is to leave, but no matter what, they will always disappear in people's field of vision, leaving only a little bit of legend in the ancient books. ①

But even so, there will still be people who will not give up, for that strength and perfection, for their own curiosity and desire... Of course, the most important thing is the original power that can create all things and reshape the ecological circle, that is The primordial life force that most civilizations cannot master no matter how they advance.

Countless civilizations and worlds yearn for it. In order to restore the damage caused by the war, to restore 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 Equally strong, they desperately want to find the ancient dragon, and obtain the power they want from these beings.

When the roar of the ancient dragon shook the universe and caused tiny waves to appear in the void of the entire abyss, not only the ancient dragon chasers in the Mycroft continent felt the throbbing, but other demons in the abyss, the five-color dragons, and many The civilizations of the unknown world have all noticed that at the far end of time and space, the primordial dragon has awakened from the ancient sleep and reappeared in the world.

——So, the gate of the myriad worlds is opened.

The cross-border legion is ready to go, the void fleet is leaving the port, and the army composed of extraordinary people swears in the capital square. Under the tide of the great demon, many worlds and civilizations that are anxious but still have power have opened their long-closed doors. Leaving his hometown again, going to a distant place in time and space.

For that first and last hope.

The world of Kronos, the mountains of Kronos, the original nameless calendar of the dragon people, the 419th year, the rainy season.

In the warm Kronos Mountains that are suitable for dragon people to live in, snow only exists on the top of certain higher peaks, and frost is a rare thing. During the coldest time, probably during the dry season, the snow from the north of the Desert of God When the white wind is raging. During the few days when the white wind persists, a large amount of dust and grit will obscure the sky and the sun, causing the weather to plummet to the point of near freezing.

But now the rainy season is different. Although the rain will cause the temperature to drop, the hotter sun after the rain will raise the temperature in the mountains to the level of a sauna. But for the dragon race, the high temperature environment is just Suitable for their actions, the wet environment in the rainy season also happens to allow their natural lightning ability to exert several times the effect.

Kronos Mountains, Misty Forest.

Looking down from the sky, this is a forest located next to a large rift valley. The rushing river flows in the depths of the rift valley, rumbling and rumbling, and white mist rises from the valley, covering the surrounding forests, forming a thick fog. But in such a forest that was completely shrouded in mist, there was a piercing scream of a giant beast suddenly. The shrill sound startled countless birds from the forest, and other monsters around turned their heads in surprise. Look in the direction of the screams.

In the misty forest, there are powerful monsters inhabiting. This is a fact known to all the dragon villages and monsters around. All the dragon people and monsters who entered the mist due to carelessness will disappear in the roar of the river in the rift valley and turn into White skeletons. For this reason, there have been no monsters and dragonmen approaching this forest for a long time, but now there are such shrill screams. Could it be that some new monsters have been hunted?

Most of the monsters thought so, and the demon hunters who were patrolling around heard that the screams were not from the dragon people, so they didn't care too much.

But the reality is completely opposite to what they thought.

Somewhere in the misty forest, a huge tree hole that has died long ago but has not yet decayed has an extremely strong smell of blood coming from it.

The trunk of the giant tree is more than 30 meters high and more than 10 meters in diameter. It is a rare dragon moss 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 dies, the scent will also make the monsters feel comfortable, so the area around the dragon moss wood has always been the lair of powerful monsters. And in the tree hole of such a giant tree, there is a light blue liquid beckoning out, exuding an extremely thick bloody smell, and you can vaguely feel that the strong magic power that is enough to make you feel uncomfortable is spreading in all directions .

The tree hole should be dark, but there are milky white fluorescent lights flashing on the inner wall. This is the fluorescent moss that has always been symbiotic with the dragon moss. These strange moss feed on magic power and can release fluorescent light in the dark. If a dragon moss is still alive, it will emit a conspicuous white fluorescence at night, which is easy to spot. And because of the fluorescence, it can be seen that there is a huge monster's corpse in the center of the tree hole.

This monster has a black body, looks like a bat, but has a long, barbed tail, well-developed forelimbs, and a strong body full of smooth muscles. Taken together, it seems to be the cross between a leopard and a bat. The hybrid must have been very quick in its actions during life, and it was definitely an extremely powerful hunter in a place like the foggy forest where it could not see beyond five meters. But now, this powerful hunter has turned into a corpse, and a huge, explosion-like wound appeared in its heart, instantly destroying all its vitality, and light blue blood spurted out from it, making the whole Tree holes are dyed blue.

And not far from the monster's corpse, there was a blue-haired dragon girl lying in the pool of blood, panting weakly.

Underage dragon girl, Lisa. At this time, her blue hair with electric arcs is gradually receding to black. Although Lisa is not injured at all, if you can see through the skin and look directly at the muscles in her body, you can clearly see the damage to the girl's body. What a serious injury -- it seemed as if all the power in the whole body was mobilized in an instant, and then it burst out in one breath. This powerful power naturally exceeded the upper limit that a dragonman of this age could exert, and naturally made the girl She suffered a terrible backlash, tearing 80% of the muscles in her body apart.

The silence between the monster that had turned into a corpse and the dragon girl who looked like a corpse lasted for more than ten seconds. After that, an extremely weak voice broke the strange atmosphere.

"Mr. Syndicate...cough cough, it's hard...cough, there is so much blood, don't waste it..."

It took several times to say a word, but Lisa still spoke it intermittently, and after that, she raised her trembling right hand and groped towards her chest—the dragon girl took out a Only a strange 'pendant' with a green body, and then put it in the blood of the monster beside him.

"Soon, the monsters around will smell blood... Ahem, we need to leave quickly!"

"I don't need to remind you, I know it too! 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, but this slime was surrounded by subtle electric arcs, which looked quite extraordinary. Syndicate's tone was equally weak: "I was in the 'transformation' state just now, and I was in charge of converting the power of one-hit kills for you. The consumption is actually greater than yours...but it's definitely a profit! I don't know how long this monster has lived. How many of my kind have I hunted, and the energy contained in this body of blood is enough to restore me to 0.7% of my prime strength!"

"Hey, is it only 0.7%?!"

After many days of training by Balrog—now it should be called Dianmo—Lisa has learned basic mathematics and a part of basic physics. This is the knowledge contained in the promotion of electric current, which is the basis of the adult's inheritance. She Of course, I understand what 0.7% means, which is the so-called 7/1000. The girl's voice was surprised: "Cough—this is the Lord of the Mist, one of the strongest monsters around the village. Could it be that you can only recover a little bit of your strength, Mr. Syndicate?"

When she said this, Lisa's wide eyes were full of suspicion: "Don't brag, Mr. Syndicate, with your soft body, no matter how you think about it, you can't be too strong, right?"

"You little dragonman!"

Hearing this sentence, Cindy was about to explode with anger. As a former great demon of the abyss, when was it despised to such an extent! ? If it wasn't for being chased and seriously injured, and had to fall into an unknown world, and had to separate the core body for self-protection, how could it be so weak now! But even so, it is not the reason why the dragonman kid is so underestimated. In anger, Syndicate absorbed the energy in the pool of blood with all his strength. Gradually, the abnormal overflowing magic power in the tree hole disappeared, and the fluorescent The moss also became dull and withered, because the magic power they depended on was taken away by some powerful being.

Lisa also naturally sensed this abnormality. Because of the strong self-healing ability of rapid metabolism, the girl was able to move a little at this time. She raised her head curiously, but saw the light blue slime that had grown several times. 'It was wriggling and crawling towards the gap in the monster's heart, and poured into the monster's body like water.

After a while, the monster's corpse immediately began to shrink, as if all the water and essence in the body had been sucked dry. After a while, the body returned to the original size of the pendant, but Syndicate, which had turned sky blue all over, 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 thunder ball, evaporated the energyless blood in the entire tree hole, and the precisely controlled electric current even dried the girl's wet clothes.

"So strong, Mr. Syndicate!"

The dragon girl who felt much more comfortable immediately gave a sincere compliment, she blinked her eyes, and smirked at the electric ball in mid-air: "I was wrong, it seems that Mr. Syndicate must have been very strong before, after all, Falling from the sky, the body can be transformed into the existence of meteorite!"

"As long as you know!"

In the final analysis, the Balrog is not a guy with complicated thinking. After receiving a few compliments from Lisa, he immediately put the previous anger behind him. It returned to the dragon girl's hand and hung it on the other's neck as a pendant. superior. Syndicate said in a calm tone: "Before I cooperated with you, I gathered the power of both of us at the same time and exploded, and then I killed this monster with one blow when it was sleeping... For this reason, we lurked for ten years. For a few hours, I used my strength to block the opponent's perception, but it will not be so troublesome in the future. Later, I will help you increase your strength through a contract. In this way, the next time you hunt, you only need to find the right time to 'transform', A quick one-hit kill."

The so-called transformation is the name of some kind of cooperation between Lisa and Syndicate, because today's Syndicate does not have a real body, only the main body as the core of energy storage, so if you want to exert its full power, you must cooperate with Lisa. Cooperating, the Balrog will temporarily transfer its own power to the dragon girl, allowing the opponent to use this power to fight, and it only assists the girl to run the energy. Because this combination will cause Lisa's black hair to turn into a lightning-like blue, it is popularly named as transformation.

"Yeah, but, what about the test prey?"

Lisa's mind is also very simple. In addition to responding to the Syndicate, she raised a new question: "The test will soon be over, but we spend almost all of our time hunting the Lord of the Mist. When the time comes to test If you fail, Dad will be very disappointed!"

This time, Syndicate and Lisa were able to leave the village and go hunting in the forest outside the village precisely because they went out with the trainee demon hunters who had successfully awakened in the village to participate in the first hunting test. Adult demon hunters will mark out a forest, drive out the powerful monsters inside, and then let the newly awakened dragon people enter it to hunt their first prey.

How could Lisa and Syndicate let go of a reasonable opportunity to go out? After all, the Balrog is the former extreme intention. With its relatively powerful spiritual power, the two easily escaped from the monitoring of the adult demon hunter and came to the most powerful monster habitat that the Syndicate could sense, the foggy forest. They found the Mist Lord's lair, and used the syndicate's power to hide their bodies, and then the two used their most powerful abilities to kill each other in one blow when they were most vulnerable when they were sleeping.

"Just find any weak monster and kill it. With our current strength, ordinary adult demon hunters are definitely not your opponents, let alone weak monsters."

Syndicate's tone is very confident, but it's not just talking casually.

In the final analysis, after all, Lisa is a pure-blooded dragon who is rare in a hundred years. Although she is not fully awakened and cannot exert great power, her potential is definitely amazing. With the super-high-speed metabolism and high-intensity exercise caused by the Balrog, after more than ten days, Lisa's physical fitness is close to that of some adult dragonmen, and the price is only that she may not grow taller in the future.

In addition, Lisa also has blood power far beyond that of ordinary dragon people, that is, the power of thunder and lightning. And this is considered to be a powerful lightning power, coupled with the promotion of the inheritance current of the first level of the demon king, combined with the power exerted by the syndicate, it is enough to kill the mist in one blow, even the entire demon hunter team may not be able to deal with it Lord. Now, Syndicate has recovered a little bit of strength because it has absorbed the blood and energy essence of monsters. This strength, combined with the knowledge and combat experience of the great demon level, can indeed boast that it is invincible in this forest.

"Oh, it hurts...but I can walk normally."

After calming down 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. Relying on the Balrog's careful teaching for many days, she has learned most of the low-level applications of electric current propulsion—for example, controlling the electric current to paralyze the enemy from a distance, stimulating muscles to exert far more strength than usual, and she can also pass The magnetic field accelerates or decelerates the attacks of metal weapons, and even uses the electromagnetic field to detect monsters lurking in the surrounding forest.

It even stimulates the nerves and muscles, accelerating the body's ability to regenerate.

Ability, strength, speed, defense, regeneration and observation abilities have all been improved. This is the inheritance from a high-level extraordinary civilization. The skills contained in it are far beyond the original accumulation of dragon people's experience. The girl does not know that what she uses now, It is an experimental high-level inheritance that most ordinary knights and magicians in the Mycroft Continent cannot touch. It is a legendary powerhouse. Joshua Van Radcliffe obtained it by analyzing his own huge magnetic field power summary of the. Possessing this level of skill in the Kronos Mountains is equivalent to having a spaceship in the era of primitive tribes. 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 go back with those demon hunters now, we should hurry up to hunt more monsters and restore more of my strength, otherwise, By the time……"

Unlike the girl's ease, Syndicate is very anxious. It knows what the world is about to usher in. The power of the ancient dragon is indeed powerful, even if it blocks the army of the abyss lord, it is not surprising. The doomsday battle that happened in the past is probably a way for the ancient dragon to repel 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 doesn't have a real body. Even if it has powerful energy, it can only be displayed through "transformation" with Lisa. In order not to let myself die, I will not let the girl who made a contract with me die. If it falls, it must become stronger as soon as possible.

Protecting Lisa is incidental, protecting the contractor, nothing more.

"It's not impossible...Although it will worry Dad, this is the first time I've 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 Syndicate's anxiety, but she would subconsciously not embarrass the other party, so she said happily: "Then, let's continue hunting 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 Syndicate did not object. It turned into a pendant and said: "Then find a place first, and catch a weak monster to eat. After eating, we will go to the north , there is a powerful monster there, it should be able to recover 0.5% of my strength."

"Uh-huh!"

Responding so happily, Lisa left the dragonmoss tree hole with brisk steps, and the girl quickly left the misty forest and moved north.

But just as she caught a weak monster, killed it, lit a fire, and ate barbecue, Syndicate suddenly used mental communication, and ordered in an extremely stern, yet fearful tone: "Quick! Lisa, put out the fire!"

"Immediately! Hide! I'll cover you, hide in the bushes!"

"yes!"

Lisa, who had just eaten half full and was about to continue, looked bewildered, but still obeyed Syndicate's orders, put out the fire as fast as she could, cleaned her body with electric current, and then hid in the bushes not far away. Lurking in the bushes, Syndicate immediately added a mental shield of vague perception, completely concealing the figures of the two.

And 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 gigantic monster five or six meters high—it had bat-like wings, two goat-like horns, and a pair of fangs. big mouth. Its thick limbs are covered with well-developed muscles and a solid carapace, its eyes are shining with a dark purple strange light, and its whole body exudes the breath 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 giant appeared, and the scorching wind spread in all directions with the flapping of its huge wings.

"Winged Demon."

Syndicate used mental communication and said in an extremely serious tone, "Abyssal Winged Demon who is only one step away from the Great Demon!"

"Has the devil's advance team come to this world?!"

And after Lisa saw the demon's ferocious and terrifying face, the instinct hidden in her blood immediately made her understand that the other party was an existence that she couldn't fight against no matter what, and she had to stay away, escape, and run as far as possible !

——Such a huge body, such a powerful force... If the teacher can't stop it, neither can the father! The entire Demon Hunt team can't stop it!

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, we must inform father and them as soon as possible!"

"Ah! The test team is still around!"

And just when Lisa suddenly remembered this fact, the abyssal winged demon sniffed in mid-air, and then muttered in abyssal language: "The smell of fire and barbecue... Are there dragonmen around?"

It grinned and said with a cruel smile: "I like the taste of these little guys, their blood is very strong, much more delicious than humans, lizards and the like."

But before the Winged Demon fluttered its wings and was about to look around for traces of the 'delicious little guys' it said, a red color suddenly appeared in the sky above the Kronos Mountains.

"Om———————"

Accompanied by a slight buzzing that seemed to resound in the ears of all creatures, suddenly, the sky changed color, and the original blue sky turned into pitch black in an instant. Countless silver stars hung high in the sky, releasing sporadic brilliance. It feels as if a certain barrier that originally covered the entire sky and the world has suddenly dissipated, revealing the reality behind the original false sky, and among the silvery stars, there are countless red light spots that are spreading, and they are in the dark sky. A red track was drawn in the middle, falling towards the whole world.

Those are meteorites, hundreds of 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. With countless meteorites falling to the ground, the Kronos Mountains burned in an instant. There is a big fire, and it can be seen that there are countless dragons and demons with wings, and many unknown creatures flying in the sky. They fight with each other, but try not to destroy everything on the surface, and they even take the initiative To extinguish the flames that I descended from, and not to destroy this mountain range.

Strange battles and disputes are unfolding throughout the Kronos Mountains, leaving the monsters and dragonmen 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 eyes, it was still ugly and ferocious. It immediately gave up its plan to find the surrounding dragonmen, then shook its wings, flew into the sky, and fought with a bipedal pterosaur stand up.

And in the distance, the center of the desert of gods.

The silver ancient dragon hid himself in the iron sand storm, staring indifferently at the outside of the world, those several are facing each other, and looking down at the powerful existence in this small world, there are giant dragons, demons, and many strange races the strong.

After hundreds of years, the war between it and the doomsday has started again.

The other side of time and space, the world of Mycroft, Moldavia in the North, and the Great Ajax Mountains.

"The coordinates have reappeared, approved again, the 587th floor of the abyss!"

"From the perspective of the world, it is not far from us, but it is also a long distance."

Among the clouds, the experimental airship named 'Observer', the vehicle of two legendary mages, is slowly rising. As it rises faster and faster, the runes on the outer armor rotate faster and faster , faint blue time-space 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 are found around the target world approaching..."

But when he was about to set off, William's expression was not relaxed. He frowned and stared at the light curtain on the console in front of him seriously: "Maybe what Joshua said is right, except for us, it is true. There are many forces spying on 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, and he glanced back at Joshua: "It's not like this guy who does it as soon as we meet."

Behind the two, the soldier shrugged. He didn't have the energy to argue with the two old men.

"In short, the engine is warmed up...the void channel is open."

Seeing that Joshua didn't respond, Barnir and William didn't say much. The two sat in the cab, debugging the experimental airship that they had modified countless times. They all showed excited smiles. :"Set off!"

In the next moment, accompanied by extremely powerful time-space fluctuations, the black time-space door opened, and a small white airship suddenly disappeared over the Great Ajax Mountain Range.

====No money below====

① There were traces of ancient dragons appearing in the Mycroft Continent four hundred years ago, because the Mycroft Continent had a very unstable ecosystem at that time because the flames were extinguished. At that time, the civilization of the Mycroft Continent was still in the Middle Ages. So I can't understand the importance of Gu Long.

In fact, most civilizations are like this until the last moment. Because they exist, they don't pay attention to them. Only after Gu Long leaves will he regret it.

The reason for the original invasion of the abyssal demons in the previous life is partly because of this. There are traces of ancient dragons haunting the Mycroft Continent.

The ancient dragon is called so because I think it is handsome. In fact, in other worlds, there are many primitive life forms that are not in the form of dragons, but resemble plants or other creatures.

At the end of the month, continue to struggle and ask for a monthly ticket

I originally wanted to do double updates, but when I think about it, I still get 8000 for one chapter, because after I wrote a chapter, there will always be inexplicable accidents that prevent me from writing the second chapter...
