The weather in the Northern Hemisphere is warming, and even the polar land of Tallund has a hint of warmth in this warming season - when the wind blows from the direction of the endless ocean, the edge of the broken continent will roll up layers of thin waves, the glaciers will move slowly along the currents on the distant sea, and the fish and some deep-sea creatures that return to this sea with the warm current have become the most valuable resources for the dragons in distress.

On the southeastern edge of the continent of Talrond, Melita Pernia retracted her giant wings and landed somewhat dangerously on a huge reef jutting out of the sea.

Facing the sea breeze, the blue dragon looked up into the distance—she saw that the area where the continent and the sea met was a terrible tear apart, the once solid rock formations and steel coastline were now broken into several jagged sections, and the once continental border stood with a thick wall to support the shield generator, but now the wall had collapsed, and a large number of jagged steel structures fell obliquely into the sea, and stretched under the sea to the seabed.

Above this broken coastline, you can see an incredible scene: large and small boulders and even small islands are separated from the surface and the sea, floating hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters in the air, some of the islands float steadily, and some smaller stones are slowly rolling in the wind, and occasionally there are almost transparent spatial cracks like vortices between these things that seem to lose their gravity, and spirit and elemental creatures that are extremely rare in the material world seem to swim out of those cracks as if swimming in the water. Slowly moving between floating boulders and islands, and then disappearing over time......

“…… Gravity Storm......" Melita couldn't help but muttered softly, "and all sorts of rifts in space-time......"

The sound of flapping wings came from the side, and a huge white dragon shadow flew in from afar, and the latter landed beside Melita, also looking up at the sky: "I heard Elder Duke Moore say that the anomalies on this coast may last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years...... This is the main battlefield, where the power of the gods has changed the structure of space-time and the order of gravity, and now those remaining forces are still slowly working on several major floating islands, and they may even create a new ecological environment between them...... In fact, several of my compatriots had already gone up to check on the situation, and strange energy creatures and radiant mutated plants had begun to appear on those islands. ”

“…… Is the remaining power of the gods so powerful? Melita sighed with a hint of emotion, "What about thousands or tens of thousands of years from now?" Will these boulders and islands just fall? ”

"Then I don't know," Norreta shook her head, "probably going to fall slowly?" The dissipation of power doesn't end in an instant, does it......"

Melita was noncommittal to her friend's speculation, she only made a whirring sound from her nose in response, and then looked in the direction of the offshore waters, where several dragons were hovering low in the air, and every now and then they would suddenly lower their altitude and unleash some kind of magical power on the surface, and dragons would respond to it, using swift ice spells or gravity magic to salvage the contents of the sea. It can be seen that they are not always successful, and there are often situations where they are busy in vain.

They're fishing – clumsy, but they've made a lot of progress.

After the situation in the camp of Argondol stabilized, Melita and Norretta, who had largely recovered from their injuries, volunteered to join the group and set up a small camp on the broken beach, turning the offshore into a fishing ground. Frankly, their operation did not go smoothly at first, the environment near the coastline was even harsher than expected, the gravity storm created by the gods here not only tore apart the earth, but also left far more "rifts" here than anywhere else, a huge number of elemental creatures and darker and twisted xenomonsters at one point hit like a tide, almost pushing Melita and her comrades back inland, but with several successful raids, Melita led the team to seal off several of the largest constant elemental rifts, The hostile creatures here were drastically curtailed, allowing the team to gain a foothold on this terrifying coast.

After some efforts, the forward camp is now working: the search party has found several warehouses buried in the rubble, the recovered supplies are enough to alleviate the plight of the main camp in Argondol, and the fish caught offshore can provide a valuable supply of food - the young dragons who grew up in the "cradle" are not really good at hunting, but with their powerful bodies and magical talents, they will not find nothing in front of the sea, after a few days of adaptation, The camp has begun to provide a steady stream of food production, albeit ...... The amount is very small.

But this food was enough for the main camp in the rear to make up their minds to hatch a few more dragon eggs.

"I really didn't expect that one day we would need to use such primitive and barbaric methods to obtain food from nature," the white dragon Noretta also looked at the sea along Melita's line of sight, and couldn't help but sigh for a long time, "What's even more ironic...... We can't even do as human fishermen. ”

"Dragons have been degraded in extreme comfort for too long, but it's no one's fault," Melita shook her head, "All the dragons of the lower Talrond used to do every day was eat, sleep, and immerse themselves in virtual entertainment...... We are a group of 'big dragons' who have to hand over the cans to the machine automatically, and it is not easy for people to find food for the camp in such a difficult wilderness. ”

"Baby Dragon...... "White Dragon Noretta muttered softly, and then as if thinking for a moment, she looked up at her friend, "Speaking of which, I have an idea recently, do you want to hear it?" ”

Melita was stunned: "Huh? If you have an idea, just say it. ”

"I'm going to apply for a dragon egg," Noretta said earnestly, her huge, crystal-clear eyes reflecting the glow on the distant horizon, "I've asked the Leader of Hlagor if we can have five places in this camp......"

"You're going to apply for a dragon egg?" Melita was taken aback, staring at each other, and at the same time suddenly thinking of something, she couldn't help but remind, "But I remember that it seems that it is not allowed to apply alone...... At least two dragons must be claimed together, or raised by the camp - this is to prevent the labor force from being affected. ”

"So I'm going to discuss it with you," Noretta looked Melita seriously, "do you want to apply with me?" The two of us should still have this spare time. ”

"Huh?!" Melita's surprise was even worse this time, so much so that she didn't react at first, until Noretta repeated her words again that she confirmed that she had heard correctly, "You're going to apply with me...... But I never thought about it......"

She hesitated as she spoke, and just as she was about to give an answer, a fluttering of wings suddenly came from nearby, and then a voice sounded from mid-air: "Captain! We found some unusual little water elements near the beach! ”

"Anomalous water elementals?" Melita was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Noretta, and the two nodded in unison, reaching a tacit consensus.

In the current situation, it is clear that security in the vicinity of the camp takes precedence over all private matters.

……

Moments later, Noretta and Melita arrived at the camp near the beach.

In the open field in the southeast corner of the camp, several dragons in human form were standing aside, and Melita, who had just landed and also turned into a human form, saw small water elementals speeding around in circles in the clearing.

There are rough runes in the clearing, which are rune matrices directly constructed by the dragon clan with the power of claws and words, the effect of these arrays is limited, but it is enough to trap the small water elemental with weak strength - three light blue water elements that are only a dozen centimeters tall and seem to be inverted water droplets are running around in circles within the blockade formed by the runes, making small and sharp shouts as they run, but they can't hear them clearly.

Such a small water element...... Even have language skills?

Melita had never seen anything like this, as far as she knew, the lower elemental creatures had little intelligence, could not speak language, and could only move like blind and dull low-level animals, and the elemental creatures that could speak had at least the size that matched them—what was the matter with these little "droplets" chirping in front of her?

Driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but take two steps forward, lowered her head and approached one of the water elementals, and after listening carefully for a long time, she finally discerned the content from the other party's shrill and vague shouts, it turned out that the weak guy had been shouting the same sentence: "Net catch a ......, net catch a "

Noretta on the side also heard it, and an inexplicable expression appeared on her face: "'Net catch one'...... What does that mean? ”

"I don't understand, I don't understand the social customs of elemental creatures, I just dealt with them when I was collecting debts," Melita said with a shrug, "and then again, it's strange enough that such a small elemental creature can speak......

The dragons at the scene were all confused, and what Melita said was also something they were puzzled about, and at this moment, another dragon flew from the direction of the coast, and before it could get closer, it shouted: "Captain! We caught some weird 'fish' offshore, as well as ...... and a ......"

"And a what?" Melita couldn't help frowning because of the other party's spitting appearance, and then pulled Noretta next to her without waiting for the other party to answer, "Forget it, let's go over and have a look." ”

There are too many strange things happening on this beach that has been ravaged by divine power, and it is normal for dragons who are operating outside to encounter incomprehensible phenomena, and as the person in charge here, Melita feels more relieved to deal with the situation herself.

With this in mind, it didn't take long for her to reach a clearing outside the camp, and at a distance she saw several of her fellow dragons gathered on the rubble-strewn shore, and she recognized them as the dragons who were fishing today, and among them...... Faintly visible figures that should not be on the land of Talrond.

Melita leaned in, and the dragons around her gave way, and the enclosed figures came into Merita's eyes, who at first glance saw about ten vigilant, tall, and distinctly deep-sea creatures, with yellow-brown eyes and fine scales all over their bodies, dark blue or cyan skin with a watery surface, a stout sea serpent (also resembling a strange fishtail) on the lower half, and a human-like upper body with webbed objects between their fingers.

These strange centaurs were armed with metal tridents and some unrecognizable equipment — creatures unknown to the dragons of Talrond, who as a race had only recently been born into the depths of the sea, but Melita recognized them.

This is the Naga, who was supposed to live in the deep sea far away, and who had only recently established contact with the northern part of the Loren Continent - she had come across a small amount of information about this race when she was out in the field in the Cecil Empire.

Is this the so-called "strange fish"?

Melita's eyes widened, and she was puzzled as to why she had seen Naga here, when the next second she spotted another figure in the midst of those Naga: a dark-haired Siren.

At this moment, she understood why the dragon just now spoke and suddenly spit out: ordinary dragons don't know Naga, but the kraken still does, although this race is very mysterious and almost does not communicate with any forces outside the deep sea, and the dragons themselves are unable to deal with this group of "extraterrestrial visitors" who have starships due to various "taboos" in the past, but this is a race with a long history on this planet after all, at least the information about them is still easy to find in the former Omega network.

So...... The fishing team just "caught" a group of Naga and a kraken?

The expression on Melita's face instantly became strange, and the corners of her mouth twitched before she walked towards the group of uninvited guests with some stiff steps, and the kraken, who was protected by the Nagas, also noticed the movement around her and turned to look this way.

At this time, Melita saw that something seemed to be wrapped around the kraken's curled tail, and after a closer look, she realized that the end of the other party's long tail was actually wrapped around a struggling water elemental!

The unknown Kraken smiled at Melita, his long tail curling and moving, bringing the captured water element to his mouth, and it was then that Melita noticed that the water element was not only caught, but also had a straw stuck in it......

In the next second, the kraken grabbed the straw and sucked hard, and the water element suddenly let out an angry and sharp shout: "Catch one!" Catch a whoop! ”

Melita: "......? ”

In a somewhat awkward silence, the silence was finally broken by a Naga who looked at the dark-haired Kraken beside him, "Lady Kassandra, aren't we supposed to be near the Eternal Storm?" How could it be...... Got to such a place? ”

"I'm thinking," the black-haired kraken, known as Kassandra, threw away the water elemental that had been sucked up and was only a dozen centimeters tall, and looked thoughtfully at the bewildered dragons around him, "...... here"

The water elemental that was thrown on the ground shook in place twice, and then screamed in anger as he ran into the distance quickly: "Catch one, catch one!" ”

"Actually, I didn't catch a ......," Kassandra shook her head, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I feel like we swam through ......"
