The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 274

[Chapter 4 Dragon]

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and Claudia and her group were getting closer and closer to the West 69th District. At this time, there were five fewer people in the team than before. And among the remaining people, almost every one of them had a tired look on their face, their bodies were covered in dust, and they looked no better than refugees.

In the center of the team, Claudia also looked haggard, with chapped lips and an earthy smell in her hair. She never imagined that there could be such a dangerous place in the world.

You must know that half of their team can be capable people. The leader of the team, Tares, is a level four ability user and has many years of adventure experience. But even so, they still lost six people along the way, and their mental and physical strength were almost to the limit.

Along the way, Claudia and the others encountered invisible cheetahs, mantises larger than humans, monsters that could spray lava, and woods covering hundreds of square meters that could move and hunt.

All kinds of monsters make the team members physically and mentally exhausted. Only Thales is still in high spirits all day long, looking like the first day he sets out every day.

At this time, the team has reached West 68th District. What they saw before them was an endless expanse of scorched earth, without trees, flowers or grass. It was like a desert of life, with no sign of any life in sight.

In the distance of the scorched earth, there is a volcano that is constantly smoking, erupting sporadic magma from time to time. Waves of vibrations were heard on the ground, making people wonder if the volcano would erupt in full force in the next moment.

One team member said: “There are finally no more monsters here, right?”

Another person said: “Is it okay for us to go this way? The volcano seems to be about to erupt at any time.”

Thales smiled and said nothing. But Claudia on the side had already seen the other party’s abilities in the past few days. Seeing Thares’ expression at this time, she couldn’t help but ask: “What, are they wrong?”

Thares shook his head. Shaking his head: “Do you know? In nature, powerful creatures have their own territory. In their territory, other species are very rare.” A big man heard what Thales said and asked: “

You Do you mean that the place we are in now is the territory of a powerful creature?”

Tares nodded and replied: “The entire West 68th District belongs to the territory of the golden three-headed dragon. This monster has a hundred Many meters long, tens of thousands of tons in weight, he has the ability to manipulate gravity. When he was first discovered, hundreds of soldiers were directly sacrificed.” A young man next to him heard

Tarez’s introduction and immediately became frightened: “Then why are we going here? If we are discovered by this monster, wouldn’t we be doomed?”

The others looked at Tares in confusion, but they had only been together for a few days. They all already understood Tarez’s ability, and the other party was by no means a mindless person seeking death, so they were all waiting for his explanation.

Tares did not disappoint everyone and explained: “Although the golden three-headed dragon is very powerful, compared to other monsters, he is already very gentle because he spent most of the month lying in the volcano. Sleep.”

He pointed to the volcano in the distance that was constantly emitting thick smoke and said: “This monster usually absorbs the energy of the volcano inside, so this volcano seems to be very active, but in fact it will not erupt. As long as we go quietly and don’t wake him up, this route is very safe.”

The group then ran towards the volcano, according to Tarez. As long as you climb over this volcano, you can reach the destination of this trip, West 69th District.

However, along the way, everyone was cautious and did not dare to make any noise due to Tarez’s reminder. If he had anything to say, he would always lower his voice, for fear of waking up the golden three-headed dragon in the volcano.

Two hours later, they had climbed halfway up the volcano, and the temperature around them was getting higher and higher. There was a smell of sulfur in the air.

However, no one complained at this time. The nine-day journey had made everyone in the team understand that Xindongyang was definitely not a good place for a vacation. Any carelessness or mistake could lead to death.

At this moment, the little ferret-like thing on Tarez’s shoulder suddenly squeaked a few times. Tarez looked in the direction of the little thing and saw a strange flower in front of it. Blooming under a cliff.

“Wait for me.” As he said that, he put down his backpack, took out his tools, and ran towards the flowers.

People in the same team are already familiar with it. The little thing on Tarez’s shoulder is also a species discovered in Dongyang. It is called the golden rat. It has a strong sense of smell and vision and can always find some valuable animals and animals. plant.

It was thanks to this money rat that Thares was able to discover many particularly valuable things and avoid fatal crises time and time again. In fact, when many powerful ability users explore Xindongyang, they will find ways to subdue one or two useful creatures to help the expedition.

Because the Daxia government does not allow extremely dangerous creatures to flow out of New Dongyang, they often choose creatures like money rats that are not strong in combat but have special abilities.

When everyone watched Tares carefully dig out the flowers on the cliff and stuff them into an animal skin pocket on his belt, they couldn’t help but look envious.

It is a bag made of the skin of a kind of void dragon. This kind of void dragon is very weak, about the size of an ordinary person’s arm, but it has a weird space bag ability that can be used when it encounters danger. Hide in the space bag. And a pocket made of his skin has a chance to become a space pocket.

I heard that only more than a hundred similar bags have been produced so far, and 80% of them have been confiscated by the Daxia government. Because this kind of space pocket has aroused great interest from a certain supervisor in the Eighth Research Institute, and is fully deciphering its principles.

After putting the flowers into the space pocket, Tares showed a satisfied smile on his face.

His space pockets are not big, and they are all used to store all the things that are difficult to store or are particularly precious, so he still has to wear a backpack.

“Okay, let’s go.” As Thares finished these words, the group embarked on the journey again, heading towards the top of the volcano.

But when they walked for more than ten minutes, a huge roar of beasts suddenly came from the sky.

Accompanied by the roar of this beast. The entire volcanic area seemed to be lively, with many strange-shaped insects crawling out from the rocky ground, running in all directions like the end of the world.

Just when everyone was panicking. The second roar of the beast came from the sky again, and along with the sound of sonic booms, a more palpitating feeling pressed on everyone’s hearts.

That is the most primitive fear of human beings, like a frog meeting a snake or a sheep meeting a wolf. Everyone’s eyes showed fear. Some people even felt their legs become weak and almost fell to the ground.

“Damn it, it’s Longwei!”

Tares looked towards the sky and saw a black shadow in mid-air that came over the volcano in the blink of an eye.

It has jet black scales, thick limbs, and wings that are more than 200 meters wide. Flying from the sky. It is completely a black dragon that only exists in myths and legends.

Everyone present looked at the black dragon hovering in the sky with ugly expressions, and angry dragon roars came from the black dragon’s mouth. Even a stupid person can see that he is provoking.

Tarez’s face was ashen and he said in disbelief: “What’s going on? Why did the black dragon come here? Why did he want to provoke the three-headed golden dragon?”

But in the eyes of these behemoths. There was obviously no place for Tarez and the others. As the black dragon roared again and again, the entire volcano began to shake violently, and a golden dragon head emerged from the crater. There were still bits and pieces of magma remaining on the dragon head, dripping from the mouth of the dragon head onto the volcanic rock. , making a series of sizzling sounds.

Then he saw the golden dragon head pointed at the sky, and also let out a terrifying roar. Sound waves visible to the naked eye spread in all directions, the entire volcano trembled violently, and large pieces of corpses fell down.

Most of the people in the team were staggering under the roar of the beast. The terrifying sound waves even caused their ears to ring and they could not hear anything.

Thales’s face darkened. He grabbed Claudia who was standing aside and shouted loudly: “Go! Go! They are fighting for territory! Leave before they start a war!”

Several stronger ability users followed directly behind Tares. Some of the weaker ones also stood up unsteadily.

As Thares ran, he turned around with an ugly expression and saw the crater. Three huge golden dragon heads have all emerged. With the sound of terrifying beast roars, countless rocks began to shatter, and the black dragon in the sky turned around and fell towards the crater.

‘It’s the gravity field! The ability of the golden three-headed dragon! Damn it! ‘Seeing this, Tares knew that the golden three-headed dragon used his own ability to increase the gravity field near him. This move once crushed a special forces into a pulp in an instant.

Now he turned around and saw that where they had been standing, those team members who had taken a few steps late had all been pressed to the ground, squeezing and deforming little by little.

At the crater, as the black dragon collided, the two behemoths rolled and fell towards the depths of the volcano. Tares could only hear angry beast roars and felt the entire ground beneath his feet shaking.

Just from this, he could feel how fierce the battle between the two terrifying monsters was. If it were on the Eastern Continent, the battle between the two could directly destroy a city.

At this time, he couldn’t help but admire him. What method did Daxia’s senior officials use to restrain all these dangerous monsters on Dongyang Island.

Then Thares thought again: “But what happened? Why did the black dragon come back to provoke? Is it to compete for territory? But I remember that the black dragon has its own territory?” Thares thought as he took the

remaining The team members quickly ran down the mountain. Behind him, everyone including Claudia, had pale faces and eyes filled with fear. At this time, no one was thinking about West 69 Area. Getting away from these two monsters was the highest priority.

But fortunately, the two monsters only had eyes for each other, and had no time to care about little bugs like Tares. So half an hour later, the group of people finally escaped safely to the foot of the volcano. They all looked in the direction of the crater with lingering fear, and still heard the news. There were bursts of roaring sounds.

Just as the group of people began to think about what to do next, another wave of unrest arose, and another sound came from the sky.

This time it was no longer the roar of the dragon before, but bursts of loud noises like thunder.

A big man looked at the sky in confusion and murmured: “Is it thundering? Is it going to rain?”

But as the sound of thunder sounded, the next moment, something that stunned everyone happened. The black dragon and the golden three-headed dragon appeared at the same time. Climbing out of the crater, they looked like a couple who were caught and raped in bed after having an affair. Even Tarez and the others could detect signs of panic in their movements.

Just watching the two giant beasts climb out of the crater, they no longer dared to roar or fight. They chose two opposite directions and flew out like bereaved dogs.

Tarez was surprised: “They? Are they running away?”
