"How so?" Xiong Fuji exclaimed. He scratched the back of his head: "I've heard of many dragon hunters who are active on the front line, and even a five-star powerhouse has seen more than one. Isn't the neutrality of the Dragonmen aimed at the Hunters' Guild and the Kingdoms? We're still on the same page when it comes to monsters, right? ”

The Dragonmen call "neutrality" is the same as their technology, and although they are famous in the hunter world, there are very few people on the two continents who really know why. The spear hunter has not had many dragonmen in direct contact, and he is only five fingers when he is full, and his understanding of this race is only at the level of hearsay, and it is an unbelievable feeling for a while.

"All the dragonmen who have walked out of the human world will eventually return to the clan land, and I am no exception." The old village chief pointed to himself and explained slowly. The members of the clan who died in the human world and could not return to their roots have always been regarded as a shame in the clan, affecting not only themselves, but also the entire clan, and the strictness of the laws of the Presbyterian Church can be seen from here.

"I love Snowwood Village and I hope it will survive unharmed into the next generation, and beyond. I think all of my fellow people sent to the human world, whether warriors or travelers like me, have similar thoughts. Magnini sighed, "But we can't represent the will of the Presbyterian Church. It may be a bit harsh to say that, but in the eyes of those pure-bloods, humans are just as much a kind of 'alien' as monsters. ”

Unlike the Elu tribe, which has low production capacity and a considerable part of the tribe needs to rely on humans in order to obtain relatively favorable living conditions, the dragons have enviable physical strength, intelligence, and long life, which is enough for a race to be self-sufficient. In addition, they have mastered mysterious alchemy that is different from human technology since ancient times, so that even many humans are fascinated.

The Pure Blood Dragons are home to the Strange Country, located in a rare and dangerous part of the Old World, rumored to be on top of a huge hanging mountain. The peak of the mountain, called "Tiannith Mountain", floats thousands of feet above the ground, and some people even say that its body is carried on the back of a powerful and unpredictable ancient dragon species for many years.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false for the time being, but at least it is certain that the Dragonmen have independent means to defend against monsters and even ancient dragons and protect the safety of their own clan - for hundreds of years, including the Second Human-Dragon War, the Hunters' Guild has been forced to ask the Council of Elders for help in a continent-level crisis many times, but no one has heard the rumors that the Siqi Kingdom has suffered at the hands of monsters. However, all the dragons who stepped out of the Zenith Mountain as hunters have proven their abilities in the long battle and become the pillars of the hunter world, and even the second-generation heirs of their hybrid human race have the strength to protect the party.

Considering these facts, the combat power in the hands of that misty race is probably far more than that. To put it bluntly, the country of Siqi, which has such a background, has no need to be in the company of humans from the beginning.

"The seniors are joking, right?" Big Bear spread his hands in disbelief, "Everyone lives under the same sky, and they also speak the common language of the mainland, once a disaster occurs, can the dragonmen still help the monsters fight against humans?" ”

For the first time, the dragon village chief did not answer directly, but put his hands behind his back and looked at the sturdy but slightly naïve young man in front of him. After a while, his gaze was fixed on Xiong Buji's shocked eyes, tilted his head towards the front of the airship, and said in a deep voice: "Disaster...... Hasn't it already happened? Right in front of our eyes. ”

Since learning the dragon cavity, counting the time in the swamp, the "will of the beasts" in front of him is still the most mature one that Feng Chen has ever seen.

In the dragon's vision, the image of the condensation of the will of the beast herd is no longer a vague cloud as usual, nor is it a silhouette that can only be discerned. The beast was so unmistakable to the hunter that for a moment he thought it was some real creature.

The monster's form was indistinguishable, and its form was constantly changing in the eyes of the Shadow Hunter. The beak of the ornithosaurus turns into the sharp kiss of the wyvern, and the next moment it turns into the big jaws of the beast dragon species, and its pair of wings looms behind it, sometimes into brightly colored bird feathers, sometimes into scales and hideous wing claws. Feng Chen looked at all this, but there was no sense of absurdity in his heart, as if this should be its original appearance.

The Shadowhunter didn't have the heart to pay attention to its image—along with the images of the herd, with the clear, powerful, almost terrifying will. In addition to not knowing the language of dragons and the language of humans, that will has almost all the characteristics of the ancient dragon race—deep, dark, chaotic, and indisobedient. The moment he sensed it, the young man felt like he had hit his head on a sampan on a reef, his eyes turned white, and his hands subconsciously clung to the railing in front of him.

If after the special training and two years of training of the dragon dragon, the dragon whisperer already has a pool of lake water with a considerable capacity, then in the past, whether it was communicating with monsters or communicating with companions, it was like sunlight steaming a small amount of water vapor on the surface of the lake. Even if the dragon cavity is maintained for a long time, it is constantly replenished by its own living water. And now, the moment he came into contact with the beast tide, the hunter seemed to have dug a huge and bottomless pit in the middle of the lake in an instant, and the lake water twisted into a vortex at the mouth of the cave, and fell to the bottom of the cave like a whale, and even the foundation of the entire lake was crumbling.

Although the consumption of spiritual power was huge, at least for the time being, it did not exceed his worst expectations, but the horror of the will of the beasts was far more than that. The young man gritted his teeth, enduring the weakness in his mind, and concentrated on deciphering the chaotic and manic thoughts. However, with only a slight touch on those words, the hunter was instantly swept into a wave of spiritual power, and even his thoughts stopped for a moment.

The will of the herd is the collection of the wishes of all the beings that make it up, and the monsters now have only one wish - and that is to "live". Every tiny thought of the phantom beast was filled with an infinite desire to survive, and the fear, madness, and anger that followed were like magma accumulated in the ground, and finally found an outlet and attacked the dragon whisperer in one go. Before Feng Chen could react, his thoughts were agitated, and he was almost dissipated by this most primitive and powerful instinct.

The hunter screamed, and the palm covered by the cage hand smashed down on his forehead without hesitation. The muffled sound of the clash of dragon shells echoed under the helmet, and the ears of the dust were buzzing, and through this pain, he narrowly found his "self" under the ravages of his strong will. He bit his lip, reluctantly calmed down, and shouted with all his strength to the phantom beast in the distance: "If you want to live, follow me!" ”

"Why?" In response to the sealing of the dust, there was a deep incomprehension and suspicion.

One after another kindness was passed out without pause, and the young man's body swayed, but there was no hesitation in his tone: "I know where to go in this forest will not be found by that guy, you have to believe me!" ”

The sudden mention of the dinosaur seemed to have touched the reverse scales of the beast herd, and the fluctuations in the phantom beast's mind stopped for a moment, and then swept back in a more violent attitude: "Before we do it, let's leave quickly." We only believe in ourselves...... Mankind...... Can't be trusted. "There was a visibly hostile attitude in its refusal.

"Hell......" The dragon whisperer stomped his feet, and the more primitive his will, the more difficult it was to reverse the facts he had already identified. Seeing that the window for "negotiations" has just opened and is about to close immediately, his opportunity is only between lightning and fire. Thinking of this, Feng Chen's heart turned sideways, straightened his chest, opened his mind as much as possible, and shouted in a broken voice: "Wait a minute! You can see what I'm thinking! You know better than I know how strong 'it' is, and joining forces is the only chance left for us. ”

At the last moment before dissipating, the phantom beast's body finally stabilized again. The monster's pupils kept changing, his eyes crossed the stars in the sky, stopped on Feng Chen's body, and muttered in a low voice: "I see, you also have to save your own race......"

…………

The cry of pain and the strange act of slapping herself at the bow of the ship were immediately noticed by Shentu Miaoling, who was guarding the side, and the small talk between Xiong Fuji and Village Chief McGonagall in the distance was also interrupted. Big Bear's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his heavy shield to follow.

It only took a few seconds before and after, and the Shadowhunter was already having some difficulty even standing on his feet. Under the cover of the huge shadow of the air chamber, Feng Chen's face was several dimensions whiter than before, and cold sweat the size of a bean slid down his forehead. The spear hunter immediately put his arm around his companion's shoulder: "Hey...... How are you? Qing'er! What are you doing in a daze! ”

The little girl withdrew a few meters away with an "oh" and danced her hunting flute vigorously against the strong wind on the bow of the ship. The sound of the flute whimpered, with great penetrating power, enveloping the entire front of the deck. There is a strange frequency in the flute music, like a cool breeze blowing through everyone's ears, and it lifts the hunters' spirits.

Feng Chen's chest rose and fell a few times like a bellows, and he staggered to break free from Xiong Fuji's support and stand back at the bow of the boat. He raised his hand to wipe away a wisp of scarlet heat from under his nose, hesitated for a moment in the refreshing potion and powerful attack liquid handed by Shentu Miaoling, but still took the bottle of bright red explosives, raised his head and drank it all.

"That's right...... Herd—" The female archer put down her supplies and hurriedly poked her head out of the railing.

The roar of the ground and the vast amount of dust did not abate, and the native blue pine forests were crushed by the charging lords in patches. From a distance, the monsters are more like legions attacking cities than fleeing for their lives. The beasts were wrapped in a palpitating momentum and a sky-high aura, and it was hard to imagine that it was not out of battle intent, but because they were being chased by the same dragon level.

In a place where the monsters in it can't perceive, the will of the formless but real beast herd quietly exerts its power. Everywhere inside the huge beast tide, the small groups of beasts that formed the legion were on guard and alienated from each other, and desperately fought for a favorable escape route, which actually formed a temporary balance under the larger scope.

The originally chaotic and separate escapes, after being restrained and colliding with each other, were faintly guided to the same destination, as if they were in front of the Far Hunting ship. Lords who vainly try to leave the team and walk alone will always be surprised to find that they seem to be fighting against the power of the entire beast tide, no matter what level and combat power, after touching a blue nose and swollen face, they have to follow the will of the group and return to the team in a gloomy manner. Like the white spray of the tide, it disappeared under the blue in a few seconds.

"This-" Seeing the direction of the monsters, Xiong Fuji's face immediately turned from sadness to joy, "We should be considered ...... Did it work? ”

Feng Chen shook his head, not knowing whether he was denying anything, or trying to make himself sober. He waved his hand, and a voice burst out from between his teeth, "Don't...... Don't talk too much, I'm still communicating with that guy, and I can't spare much energy to deal with your problems......"

"The herd has promised to follow my course, but only temporarily." The dragon whisperer replied in a harsh tone, and as soon as he said a word, the young man's knees went limp, and a few beads of sweat appeared again on his face that had been dried by the high wind.

"Don't fall on deck...... Hold my arm! Hell, you look like that...... It's like being chased by a dozen beast dragons for a day and a night, is it really okay? ”

"Just a little tired...... Shadowhunter struggled to make a normal gesture, squeezing out an ugly smile - it wasn't just a reassuring companion, Dusty did have a reason to laugh.

With the advantage of rank, the ancient dragon species can even make ordinary monsters turn their backs on their instincts, but young people do not have the same ability. As a tool of communication, the dragon cavity often relies on the inducement and deception of the dragon whisperer if he wants to make the monster practice his will. Two or even two months ago, even if there was a good reason, such an act would still make Feng Chen's heart feel uncomfortable, and his mind had never been as bright and calm as it is today.

It is precisely because of this that the young hunter dared to let go of his guard and let the phantom beast examine his mind, and finally made the other party accept his words without danger before losing patience.

"Thank you......" The dragon whisperer explained briefly, taking the medicine bottle in Shentu Miaoling's hand with one hand, and without distinguishing what was in the bottle, he took a big sip with his head down, "Gaining the trust of those guys is just the beginning, and God knows what will happen next...... Hunter bless, the dinosaur has no sign of chasing after it for the time being. Once that guy arrives, the order that has been built up below could collapse at any moment, and I have to keep an eye on the herd. ”

"Sister Miao Ling is right, this is a protracted battle, the planned hunting ground is far away from us, and I can't fall until they arrive successfully......" The refreshing effect of the nitrified mushroom solution also takes a few minutes to take effect, Feng Chen said as he regained some strength from somewhere, and stood up against the railing at the bow of the ship.

Below the hunting boats, the pine forests have spread to the bottom of the snow-capped peaks, and a perfectly circular platform at the foot of the mountain clearly catches the eyes of the hunters. From the platform leads a curved path that ends in a quiet village.

The village of Snow Forest stood there as it had been yesterday, the dust rising from the hillside and the hooves of beasts beating like war drums seemed to have nothing to do with it.
