On how to avoid being cannon fodder

In the depths of the twilight forest, a black figure shuttled through the shadows of the tall trees like a phantom.

The high-level monster "Golden Huanji", which is feared by people on the mainland, is crawling on the ground tremblingly, lowering its head, trying to resist the huge coercion.The black shadow quickly came to Jin Huanjiao's side, his dark golden eyes glanced at the magical beast on the ground who dared not look up, and then quickly went away.It wasn't until more than ten minutes after the black shadow disappeared that Jin Huanjiao stopped shaking and got up from the ground, running towards the outskirts of the forest without looking back as if being chased by a ghost.

terrible!That guy is back!

Ji Wenyuan went straight all the way, ignoring all the high-level monsters on the road who were frightened by the coercion of the dragon clan, and came to the huge cave in the middle of the Twilight Forest.He stopped and looked up, then walked slowly into the dark cave again.There was a little dim light on the black armor, and his figure elongated and became taller as he walked forward. When he came to a hill formed by obsidian mines, his human body, which was originally only more than two meters long, had turned into a body full of size. A giant black dragon nearly 50 meters long.

Ji Wenyuan stretched out his huge wings, metallic scales covered his whole body, and his slender and powerful dragon tail flicked slightly in the air, making the whistling sound of the air being torn apart.He walked slowly up the obsidian hill, and in this short distance, he got used to the dragon body's way of moving.Lying down on the top of the ore hill, with his wings folded by his side, he looked down at the dark cave, silently counting the time in his heart.

It was already a month after sending "Qi Feng" back to Ancosta City.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, the black dragon Sakya insisted on leaving, rejected Elsa and Qi Feng's retention, and returned to his lair in the Twilight Forest alone.It is conceivable that dragons have a large appetite, especially those strange creatures like Sakya who have not eaten enough to mix with humans for more than a year. If they let go, they can definitely swallow more than a dozen giant mammoths.Fortunately, the 400-year-old black dragon has a strong enough stomach to replenish energy by eating magic crystals, otherwise he would have to experience the feeling of gnawing untreated monster meat.

He spent nearly a month with the protagonist group, and wondered if the will of the world intervened, but none of them mentioned the purpose of their trip.Therefore, the black dragon Saga has no reason to escape from the Twilight Forest in advance.

The progress of the weapon design blueprints brought by the traversers has already reached more than half, and it is still unknown what methods Han Yanghao will use in the future.But what is certain is that, like the original plot, the plot of killing the black dragon's lair two months later must be postponed.

Maybe use their lateness as an excuse to get out of here?

Ji Wenyuan thought for a while, feeling a little sleepy.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally let himself close his eyes.Anyway, based on his sense of danger, he will definitely be able to wake up before the protagonists deal with him, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps for a while now.

……

Time passed, and when the sleeping black dragon was awakened by a faint sense of crisis, its cave was still calm.

Ji Wenyuan stood up, his dark golden pupils scanned the surrounding vigilantly, and at the same time, his perception was opened to the maximum.

No?

Standing on the Obsidian Mountain for a long time, the surroundings are still silent, without any trace of popularity.He closed his eyes and scanned it carefully again with mental power, confirming his judgment.

There is no one here.

He observed the source power stored in his soul, and judged from the amount of consumption that about eight months had passed in this world.

Dragons can really sleep.Ji Wenyuan sighed in his heart, feeling a little happy.Apparently his lover had done a good job holding off the group of guys who were destined to slay the black dragon, and they now only need to delay for another four months at most to successfully spoil the plot.He walked down the obsidian mountain and walked out of the cave, but within two steps he felt something was wrong with his body—it seemed that his body was heavier than before he fell asleep.

Ji Wenyuan looked back at his body suspiciously, and found that this was not an illusion.He compared the distance between himself and the top of the cave, and the relative height to the obsidian hill, and determined that he had grown about two meters taller, and if the length from the head to the tip of the tail was replaced by the length, he would have grown about five meters.

Ji Wenyuan: "..."

Why do you grow taller all of a sudden?

He who has always been calm suddenly felt a little messy, so he quickly went back and looked through the inheritance memory of the black dragon, and finally found this passage in the inheritance memory:

The adulthood of a pure-blooded black dragon is about 450 years old. At this stage, the dragon will usher in an explosive growth. Generally, the body size will increase by one-third within five years. After the growth is completed, the strength of the dragon family is doubled compared with that of the underage.In case of molting, please pay attention to the loss of the protective work of the scale defense.In addition, malnutrition will delay the time of adulthood, please ensure that the parents of juvenile dragons have enough food.

Ji Wenyuan: "..." The mood is a little bit complicated.

He recalled what he had seen in the memory of the original owner - the irresponsible father of Huaxin, the mother who was close to the age of death, lost the shelter of the female dragon No. 90 years after hatching and lived alone in the Twilight Forest, and... Afraid of being alone, I would rather be hungry than mingle with the crowd.

"Malnutrition... hehe."

He checked his body with mental strength, and found that a small scale had fallen off the back of his neck.

Here... is exactly where Bernal's "fatal blow" that ultimately determines the outcome of the original plot landed.It turned out that the skin was about to molt, and the scales here were loose, so it was so easy to be pierced.

Ji Wenyuan thought of the combat power that Bernal possessed when he was too young compared to humans.

In this world, only black dragons are interested in learning "mimicry", and even if you don't look at this point, it can even be said that the dragons who still retain their fertility in that year are the only black dragons with strong physical bodies.The longest lifespan for a pureblood dragon is in the early 2000s.After the legendary battle more than 2000 years ago, the world was suddenly full of malice towards such an exceptionally powerful race as the Dragon Clan. For two full years, one pure-blooded dragon after another came to the end of its life, but the only known one was the newborn Sakya. Son.

It's as if the world is deliberately obliterating the existence of the dragon.

Perhaps there is no accident, there is no unknown young dragon being born again, and there is really only the black dragon Sakya left in this world.

If this is the case, then according to time inference, the only person who may have scumbed his mother when Bernal was born is Sakya's irresponsible romantic father—that is to say, Bernal is likely to be Sakya's younger brother .

Ji Wenyuan knew that this was probably the case.Do you know the original Sakya?Most of them know that the dragons in this world have an inexplicable feeling for the same kind. Maybe the original Sakya realized this when he saw Bernal for the first time.

Because he vaguely realizes that there is only a pure-blooded dragon in the world, Sakya is so afraid of loneliness; because Sakya and Bernal are blood relatives, so Bernal only worships Sakya as a "person"; because Sakya found out that Bernal was his only "relative" in this world, so he could not let go of Bernal who had only been with him for a few days.

Now everything makes sense, doesn't it?

What a sad fate.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Ji Wenyuan's eyes, and he strolled outside the cave, letting the bright moonlight fall on his shiny black scales.

Perhaps, he misunderstood the whole story from the beginning.

Many times he doesn't like to think too much, but that doesn't mean he can't think of it.

It was not the war that spread to the whole world 2000 years ago that caused the accidental leakage of the world’s origin, but the accidental leakage of the world’s origin forced the world’s will to obliterate the top power in the world to free up enough energy to repair the loopholes.

Such a cruel and ruthless method reminded him of a word in the Norman Empire that year——

Battle damage value.

The war damage of the Norman Empire does not refer to the consumption of resources, but to the decisive abandonment caused to prevent the expansion of the disaster, whether it is the buildings of a certain city or... the lives living in that city.

He has seen a lot.

Ji Wenyuan closed his eyes, suppressing the surging complex emotions.He turned his head to look in the direction Han Yanghao was in, and a soft look appeared in his eyes again.

There are still four months before they can be together again.He has enough strength to protect him, they can go many, many places together, and they have a long, long time to go together.

soon……

"finished!"

The dark red weapon lay quietly on the test bench, and Ryan looked at the masterpiece he had spent nine months to complete, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

When Elsa rushed over early to observe the formation of the weapon, she showed a bright smile when she saw this scene, applauded and praised: "Grandpa Ryan, your work is more perfect than I imagined!"

Ryan was in a happy mood when he heard the words, and he stroked his beard and laughed.

Looking at this dangerous alchemy masterpiece, Bernal pursed his lips.He didn't want to go to the Twilight Forest to hunt and kill the black dragon, but he didn't think much about it because he was afraid of the power of the legendary creature.Suppressing the resentment in his heart by reciting the Guardian Knight Rules of the Holy See a few times silently, Bernal said: "Your Excellency Ryan, there are probably not many people in the world who can compete with your masterpiece. I know that there is a black dragon in the center of the Twilight Forest. Why don't you go find it and try its power?"

Ryan's eyes lit up: "Really? There is a black dragon in the Twilight Forest? My God, I... Yes, try the 'Vulcan Sanction' with the black dragon. This is the pinnacle physical attack alchemy weapon. This is an amazing innovation! Break away from the energy aggregation attack of the magic cannon, and use physical methods to make the power more concentrated... Yes, yes, only the black dragon is worthy of this masterpiece!"

Bernal squeezed out a smile and didn't want to talk anymore.

Elsa's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a sweet smile: "Then Grandpa Ryan, would you like to go with us to the Twilight Forest tomorrow to find the black dragon and test the power of 'Vulcan's Sanction'?"

"Okay, okay, of course." Ryan stood up in a hurry, still muttering in his mouth: "Black dragon, that is a black dragon, I heard that the scales, bones, blood of the black dragon..." His voice dropped, and everyone behind Did not hear clearly.Ryan walked out of the gate and shouted loudly: "Qi Feng, pack up the package quickly, we are leaving tomorrow!"

Elsa smiled even more happily as she watched his back disappearing outside the door.
