Chapter 1061 A Small Mistake

The weather in the northern hemisphere is getting warmer, and even the land of Tarrond, which is located in the polar regions, has a little bit of warmth in this warmer season-when the wind blows from the direction of the endless ocean, the fragmented continental edge will be swept away. There were layers of fine waves, and the glaciers moved slowly on the distant sea along the current, and the fish and some deep-sea creatures that returned to this sea area along the warm current became the most precious resources for the dragons who were in trouble.

On the southeastern edge of the Tarrond continent, Melita Purnia folded her giant wings and landed on a huge reef jutting out of the sea with some thrills.

Facing the sea breeze, the blue dragon raised her head and looked into the distance——she saw that the area where the continent and the ocean meet was terribly torn apart. The once solid rock formations and steel coastlines now seemed to be broken into several sections. A thick and high wall stood on the border of the continent to support the shield generator, but at this moment the wall had collapsed, and a large number of giant steel structures fell obliquely into the sea surface, and extended under the sea water to the seabed.

Over this broken coastline, you can even see unimaginable sights: large and small boulders and even small islands have broken away from the surface and the sea, floating at an altitude of hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters, some of which are floating steadily, others Smaller stones are rolling slowly in the wind, and there are occasional gaps between these things that seem to have lost gravity, almost transparent space gaps like whirlpools, and the spirit creatures and elemental creatures that are extremely rare in the material world seem to be swimming in the water. Cruising out of those cracks like moving, slowly moving between the floating boulders and islands, and gradually disappearing as time goes by...

"...Gravity Storm..." Melita couldn't help muttering softly, "There are all kinds of space-time rifts..."

The sound of flapping wings came from the side, and a huge white dragon shadow flew from afar, and the latter landed beside Melita, also looking up at the sky: "I heard from Elder Duke Moore that the abnormal phenomenon on this coast may It lasted 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 gravity order here, and now those remaining forces are still slowly functioning 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 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 later? Will these boulders and islands just fall down?"

"Then I don't know," Noretta shook her head, "It will probably fall slowly? The power dissipation won't end in an instant..."

Melita was noncommittal to her friend's guess. She just made a whirring sound from her nose in response, and then looked towards the direction of the offshore sea area—several giant dragons were circling at low altitude in that sea area, and they would suddenly appear from time to time. Lower the altitude and release some kind of magical power towards the sea surface, and there are giant dragons to support it, using swift freezing spells 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 their work is wasted.

They were fishing - clumsily, but had made great progress.

After the situation in the Agondor camp stabilized, Melita and Noretta, who had recovered from their injuries, took the initiative to join the team heading towards the coast, and built a small camp on this fragmented beach. The offshore here has become a fishing ground. Frankly speaking, their operation was not smooth at the beginning, the environment near the coastline was worse than expected, the gravity storm created by the gods here not only tore the earth apart, but also left far more here than other places. "Cracks", a huge number of elemental creatures and darker and twisted alien monsters once attacked like a tide, almost pushing Melita and her comrades back inland, but with several successful raids, Melita The tower led the team to block several of the largest constant element cracks,

Finally, the hostile creatures here have been greatly reduced, allowing the team to gain a firm foothold on this terrifying coast.

After some hard work, this forward 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 plight of the main camp of Agondor. Hunting can provide valuable food supply - the young dragons who grew up in the "cradle" are actually not good at hunting, but relying on their powerful bodies and magical talents that are almost unreasonable, they will not be 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 very small.

But these foods are enough to make the main battalion in the rear make up their minds to hatch a few more dragon eggs.

"I didn't expect that one day we would need to use this primitive and barbaric method to obtain food from nature," the white dragon Noretta also followed Melita's line of sight to the sea, and couldn't help expressing emotion for a long time, "What's more ironic Yes... what we do is actually no better than human fishermen."

"The dragons have degenerated for too long in an extremely comfortable environment, but it's no one's fault," Melita shook her head, "All the dragons in the lower layers of Tarrond used to do every day was eat, sleep, and immerse themselves in virtual entertainment. Among them, even the upper-level dragons who have jobs, except for those who often go out to work like me, usually don’t have to think about any skills to survive outside of the big shield. It is not easy for everyone to find food for the camp in such a difficult wilderness for the 'big dragon hatchling' that is automatically completed by the machine."

"Dragonling..." the white dragon Noretta murmured softly, then seemed to think for a moment, then looked up at her friend, "Speaking of which, I have an idea recently, do you want to hear it?"

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

"I'm going to apply for a dragon egg," Noretta said seriously, her huge crystal-clear eyes reflecting the glow on the distant horizon, "I asked Chief Heragor, our camp There can be five places..."

"Are you going to apply for a dragon egg?" Melita was taken aback, staring at the other party, and at the same time suddenly thought of something, couldn't help reminding, "But I remember that it seems that you are not allowed to apply alone... At least two ends are required." The dragons can only be claimed together, or they can be raised together by the camp—this is to prevent affecting the labor force.”

"So I want to discuss with you." Noretta looked into Melita's eyes seriously, "Do you want to apply with me? The two of us should still have the spare capacity."

"Ah?!" Melita was even more surprised this time, so that she didn't react immediately. It was not until Noretta repeated her words that she confirmed that she had heard correctly, "You want to apply with me. ...but I never thought about it..."

She fell into hesitation while talking, but just when she was about to give an answer, a sound of flapping wings suddenly came from nearby, followed by a voice from mid-air: "Captain! We found some people near the beach. An unusually small water element!"

"Abnormal water element?" Melita was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with Noretta, and the two nodded in unison, reaching a consensus in tacit understanding.

Under the current situation, security issues near the camp clearly take precedence over all private affairs.

...

After a while, Noretta and Melita came to the camp near the beach.

Some simple shelters were built here with the materials collected from the ruins, and the large area of ​​ground inside and outside the camp was clean and level. On the open ground in the southeast corner of the camp, several dragons in human form were standing aside, Melita, who had just landed and also turned into a human form, saw the small water elemental flying around in the open space at a glance.

There are rough-style runes on the open space, which are the rune matrix 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 small and weak water elements—three of which are only more than ten centimeters long. The tall, light blue water elemental that looks like an upside-down water drop is running around in circles within the blockage formed by the runes. While running, it makes a small and sharp cry, but it can't be heard clearly.

Such a small water element...has the ability to speak?

Melita has never seen this kind of thing. As far as she knows, relatively low-level elemental creatures have almost no intelligence, and they can't speak. Looking at the body shape that matches it-what are these chattering little "water droplets" in front of me?

Driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but took two steps forward, lowered her head and approached one of the water elementals, and after listening carefully for a long time, she finally distinguished the content from the shrill and vague shouts of the other party. The guy kept yelling the same thing: "Take a sucker, catch a sucker..."

Noretta on the side also heard it, with an inexplicable expression on her face: "'I caught a sucker'... What does this mean?"

"I don't understand, and I don't understand the social customs of elemental creatures. I dealt with them when I was collecting debts," Melita shrugged and said, "And then again, such a small elemental creature has the ability to speak. Strange enough..."

The dragons at the scene were all confused, and what Melita said was also what they were confused about, and at this moment, another giant dragon flew from the direction of the coast, and before it got close, it shouted loudly: "Captain! We caught some strange 'fish' offshore, and... and a..."

"And what?" Melita couldn't help but frowned because she was dissatisfied with the other party's stammering appearance, and then pulled Noretta beside her without waiting for the other party's answer, "Forget it, let's go and have a look."

There are too many strange things happening on this beach that was once ravaged by divine power. It is normal for the dragons who are active outside to encounter incomprehensible phenomena. As the person in charge here, Melita feels that it is better to deal with the situation herself. rest assured.

With this thought in mind, it didn't take long for her to come to an open space outside the camp. From a distance, she saw several fellow clansmen in the form of giant dragons gathering by the gravel-strewn coast. Those are the dragons who are in charge of fishing at sea today, and among them...you can vaguely see some figures that should not appear on the land of Tarrond.

Melita leaned over, and the surrounding dragons gave way one after another, and those surrounded figures came into Melita's eyes, and the latter saw about ten vigilant, tall, with obvious deep sea Characteristic half-human creatures, they have tawny eyeballs and fine scales all over the body surface, dark blue or cyan skin with watery surface, the lower body is a thick sea snake (also like a weird fish tail), and the upper body is close to In humans, webs can also be seen between the fingers.

These grotesque half-human creatures wielded metal tridents and some unidentifiable equipment--creatures unknown to the dragons of Tarrond, for the latter as a race were quite recently born in the deep sea Among them, but Melita recognized them.

This is Naga, who was supposed to live in the deep sea far away. She has only recently established contact with the northern part of the Loren Continent. She came into contact with a small amount of information about this race when she was working in the Cecil Empire.

Is this the so-called "strange fish"?

Melita's eyes widened, wondering why she saw Naga here, and the next second she found another figure surrounded by those Naga: a black-haired siren.

At this moment, she understood why the Dragon Clan could speak suddenly and suddenly hesitantly said: ordinary dragons don’t know Naga, but sea monsters do. Although this race is very mysterious and hardly communicates with any forces outside the deep sea, Dragon Clan Due to various "taboos" in the past, I couldn't deal with this group of "outsiders" with starships, but this is a race with a long history on this planet after all, at least the information about them is in the former Omega Network It is still easy to find.

So... the fishing team just "captured" a group of naga and a siren?

The expression on Melita's face became weird instantly, the corner of her mouth twitched, and then she walked towards the group of uninvited guests stiffly, and the siren who was protected by the Naga also noticed the movement around her, turned around and walked towards the group of uninvited guests. Look over here.

At this time, Melita saw that there seemed to be something wrapped around the curly tail of the sea monster. After a closer look, she could tell that the end of the long tail of the other party was actually wrapped around a struggling water monster. element!

The unknown sea monster smiled at Melita, its long tail curled and moved, bringing the captured water element to its mouth, only then did Melita notice that not only was the water element captured, but even There is also a straw...

In the next second, the sea monster grabbed the straw and sucked it hard, and the water element suddenly let out an angry and sharp cry: "Take a sip! Take a sip!"

Melita: "...?"

In the awkward silence, a Naga finally broke the silence. He looked at the black-haired siren beside him: "Ms. Cassandra, shouldn't we be near the Eternal Storm? How could it be so... a place?"

"I'm thinking," the black-haired siren called Cassandra threw away the absorbed water element, which was only a dozen centimeters high, and looked thoughtfully at the bewildered dragons around her. ,"here……"

The water element that was thrown on the ground swayed in place twice, then ran to the distance quickly and screamed angrily: "I got a sip, I got a sip!!"

"Actually, I didn't catch one..." Cassandra shook her head, "Forget it, it's not important, the important thing is that I feel like we swam past..."
