The weather in the northern hemisphere is warming up, and even the Tarrond land in the polar regions has a touch of warmth in this warming season-when the wind blows from the direction of the endless ocean, the fragmented continental edges will roll. With layers of fine waves, glaciers move slowly along the ocean currents on the distant sea, and those fish schools and some deep-sea creatures that return to this sea area along the warm current have become the most precious resources of the dragons in trouble.
On the southeastern edge of the Tarrond continent, Melita Pernia put away her huge wings and landed on a huge rock protruding from the sea.
Facing the sea breeze, the blue dragon raised her head and looked into the distance-she saw the terrifying appearance of the area where the continent and the ocean meet. The once solid rock formations and steel coastline now seem to be folded into segments of jagged teeth. On the continental boundary stood a heavy wall used to support the shield generator, but at this moment the wall had collapsed, and a large number of rugged steel giants fell into the sea and stretched under the sea to the seabed.
Above this broken coastline, you can see the incredible scene: big and small boulders and even small islands have separated from the surface and the sea, floating at an altitude of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters, some of them floating steadily, others The smaller stones roll slowly in the wind, and occasionally there will be almost transparent space fissures like whirlpools between these things that seem to have lost gravity. The extremely rare spiritual creatures and elemental creatures in the material world seem to swim in the water. Swim out of those fissures like moving, slowly moving between floating boulders and islands, and gradually disappearing over time...
"...Gravity storm..." Melita couldn't help muttering softly, "There are all kinds of gaps in time and space..."
The sound of flapping wings was heard from the side, and a huge white dragon flew from a distance. The latter landed beside Merita and looked up at the sky as well: "Listen to Elder Duke Moore saying that the anomaly on this coast may be It lasts for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years... This is the main battlefield. The power of the gods has changed the space-time structure and gravitational order here. Now the remaining power is still slowly exerting its effect on several major floating islands. It is even possible to create a brand new ecological environment between these floating islands... In fact, several compatriots have already gone up to check the situation, and strange energy creatures and radiation-mutated plants have begun to appear on those islands."
"...Is the remaining power of the gods so powerful?" Melita sighed, "What about thousands or tens of thousands of years? Will these boulders and islands fall directly?"
"Then I don't know," Noretta shook her head, "Probably it will fall slowly? The power dissipation doesn't end in an instant, right..."
Melita was noncommittal to her friend’s guess, she just responded with a whirring sound from her nose, and then looked in the direction of the offshore waters-several giant dragons were hovering and flying at low altitudes in that water, and they would suddenly suddenly Lower the altitude and release a certain magical power toward the sea, and a giant dragon is next to it, using swift ice spell or gravity magic to salvage things in the sea. It can be seen that they do not succeed every time, and there are often situations where they will be busy.
They are fishing-clumsy, but have made great progress.
After the situation in the Agundor camp stabilized, Melita and Noreta, who were basically healed from their injuries, took the initiative to join the team heading towards the coast and set up a small camp on this fragmented beach. The offshore here has become a fishing ground. Frankly speaking, their actions did not go smoothly at the beginning. The environment near the coastline was worse than expected. The gravity storm created by the gods here not only shredded the ground, but left much more here than in other places. "The Rift", a huge number of elemental creatures and darker and more distorted alien monsters once hit like a tide, almost pushing Melita and her comrades back inland, but after several successful raids, Meili The tower led the team to block several of the biggest constant element rifts, and finally drastically reduced the hostile creatures here, allowing the team to gain a firm foothold on this terrifying coast.
After a lot of hard work, this advancing camp has now begun to play a role: the search team sent out found several warehouses buried in the ruins, and the recovered materials were enough to alleviate the dilemma of the main camp of Agundor. Harvesting can provide valuable food supplies-the young dragons who grew up in the "cradle" are actually not good at hunting, but relying on their strong and almost unreasonable bodies and magical talents, they will not get nothing in front of the sea. After a few days of adaptation, this camp has begun to provide a stable food output, although...the amount is small.
But these foods were enough to make the main operations behind them determined to hatch a few more dragon eggs.
"Unexpectedly, one day we will need to use this primitive and savage method to obtain food from nature," Bailong Noretta also followed Merita's line of sight to the sea, and couldn't help but exclaimed for a long time. "More ironically. Yes... what we do is actually not even better than human fishermen."
"Dragons degenerate for too long in an extremely comfortable environment, but no one is to blame," Melita shook her head. "All the dragons of the lower Tarrond used to do every day were eating, sleeping and immersing in virtual entertainment. In the middle, even the upper-level dragons who have jobs, except for those who often go out on the field like me, usually don’t have to think about any skills to survive outside the big shield. After all... we are a group of people who even open cans. It’s not easy for everyone to find food for the camp in such a difficult wilderness."
"Young dragon..." Bailong Noreta muttered softly, and then seemed to think for a moment, then looked up to her friend, "Speaking of which, I have an idea recently. Would you like to listen to it?"
Melita was taken aback: "Huh? Just say if you have an idea."
"I intend to apply for a dragon egg," Noretta said seriously, her huge crystal-clear eyes reflecting the light on the distant horizon. "I asked the leader of Heragol, our camp. There can be five places..."
"Are you going to apply for a dragon egg?" Merita was taken aback, staring at each other, and at the same time suddenly thought of something, she couldn't help reminding, "But I remember that it doesn't seem to be allowed to apply alone...at least two The dragons can claim it together, or be raised by the camp together-this is to prevent the labor force from being affected."
"So I have to discuss with you," Noretta looked into Merita's eyes seriously, "Do you want to apply with me? We two should still have this extra energy."
"Ah?!" Melita was even more surprised this time, so that she didn't react to it for the first time. It was not until Noretta repeated her words again that she confirmed that she had not misheard her, "You should ask me to apply together. ...But I never considered this..."
She was in a state of hesitation while she was talking, and when she wanted to give an answer, a flutter of wings suddenly came from nearby, followed by a voice from mid-air: "Captain! We found some near the beach Unusual small water element!"
"Abnormal water element?" Merita was taken aback, and then looked at Noretta. The two nodded at the same time, and reached a consensus in tacit understanding.
In the current situation, security issues near the camp obviously take precedence over all private affairs.
...
After a while, Noreta and Melita came to the camp near the beach.
Here, some simple shelters were built with materials collected from the ruins. The large areas of the ground inside and outside the camp were cleaned and leveled. On the open ground at the southeast corner of the camp, several humanoid dragons were standing aside. Melita, who had just landed and turned into a human form, saw at a glance the small water element that was flying around in a circle on the clearing.
There are runes with rough styles in the clearing, which are rune matrices directly constructed by dragons with claws and the power of words. These arrays have limited effects, but they are enough to trap small and weak water elements-three are only a dozen centimeters. The high, light blue water element that looked like an inverted water drop was running round after round within the blockade formed by the rune. While running, it made small and sharp shouts, but could not hear clearly.
Such a small water element... still has language skills?
Merita has never seen such a thing. As far as she knows, the lower-level elemental creatures have almost no intelligence and no language. They can only act like blind and dull low-level animals. At least there are also elemental creatures that can speak. With a body shape that matches it-what's the matter with these little chirping "water droplets" in front of you?
Driven by curiosity, she couldn't help taking two steps forward, lowering her head and leaning close to one of the water elements. After listening carefully for a long time, she finally distinguished the content from the other's sharp and vague shouts. It turned out that it was weak. The guy kept yelling the same sentence: "Catch a sucker, catch a sucker..."
Noretta on the side heard it too, with an inexplicable expression on her face: "'Catch a prick'...what does this mean?"
"I don't understand. I don't understand the social customs of elemental creatures. I dealt with them when collecting debts," Merita said with a shrug. "And having said that, such a small elemental creature has language skills. Strange enough..."
The dragons at the scene were all confused. What Merita said was also what they were confused about. At this moment, another giant dragon flew in from the direction of the coast. Before they could get closer, they shouted: "Captain! We caught some strange'fish' offshore, and...and a..."
"And what?" Melita was a little dissatisfied with the other's hesitation, she couldn't help frowning, and then she pulled Noretta next to her without waiting for the other's answer, "Forget it, let's go and take a look."
There are so many weird things happening on this beach that was once ravaged by divine power. It is normal for dragons who are active outside to encounter incomprehensible phenomena. As the person in charge here, Melita feels that the situation should be handled by herself. rest assured.
With such thoughts, she did not take long to come to a clearing outside the camp. From a long distance, she saw several members of the same race who maintained the form of dragons gathering by the gravel coast. Those dragons who are in charge of fishing in the sea today, and among them...we can vaguely see some figures that shouldn't appear on the land of Tarrond.
Merita leaned over, and the surrounding dragons gave way, and the enclosed figures came into Merita’s eyes. At first glance, the latter saw about ten vigilant, tall, and distinctly deep sea creatures. Characteristic half-human creatures. They have yellow-brown eyes and fine scales all over the body. The surface of the dark blue or cyan skin is glowing. The lower body is a thick sea snake (also like a weird fish tail), and the upper body is close. In humans, webbed objects can also be seen between their fingers.
These weird half-human creatures are holding metal tridents, and there are some unrecognizable equipment on them-the dragons of Tarrond don’t know these creatures, because the latter, as a race, was born in the deep sea only recently. In, but Melita recognized them.
This is the Naga, who should have lived in the deep ocean in the distance. She has only recently established contact with the northern part of the Loren continent. She accidentally came into contact with a small amount of information about this race when she was out in the Cecil Empire.
This is the so-called "strange fish"?
Melita's eyes widened, and she was puzzled as to why she saw Naga here. The next second she found another figure surrounded by those Naga: a black-haired sea monster.
At this moment, she understood why the dragon clan spoke a moment ago and suddenly hesitated: The ordinary dragon clan doesn’t know the naga, but the sea monster still knows it. Although this race is very mysterious, it hardly communicates with any forces outside the deep sea. Because of the various “taboos” in the past, I can’t deal with these “alien visitors” who have starships, but this is a race with a long history on this planet after all, at least the information about them is in the Omega network. It’s still easy to find.
So... the team that went fishing just "caught" a group of naga and a sea monster?
The expression on Melita's face instantly turned weird. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she walked towards the group of uninvited guests stiffly. The sea monster who was protected by the naga also noticed the surrounding movement and turned to face Look here.
At this time, Melita saw that something seemed to be wrapped around the siren's curled tail. After a closer look, she could tell that the end of the other's long tail was actually wrapped in a struggling water. element!
The unknown siren smiled at Merita, her long tail curled and moved, and brought the captured water element to her mouth. Only then did Merita notice that the water element was not only caught, but also on her body. There is also a straw...
In the next second, the sea monster grabbed the straw and took a hard sip, and the Water Elemental suddenly yelled angrily and sharply: "Catch a sucker! Just catch a sucker!"
Melita: "...?"
In some embarrassing silence, a Naga finally broke the silence, and he looked at the black-haired Siren beside him: "Ms. Kassandra, shouldn't we be near the eternal storm? How come... we are here. Place?"
"I'm thinking." The black-haired siren known as Kassandra threw away the water element that had been sucked only a dozen centimeters high, and looked thoughtfully at the bewildered dragons around him. ,"Here……"
The water element thrown on the ground swayed in place twice, and then ran to the distance quickly while screaming angrily: "Catch a sucker, catch a sucker!!"
"Actually I didn't catch one..." Cassandra shook her head, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I think we have swam past..."
