Uplifting Journey

Limited by the crude observation and interference tools made in the past, Cheng Bin's understanding and control of the current red dragon's body is only at the level of cell clusters.

If you try to look deeper, there is a huge difference between the red dragon's cell structure and the creatures in the inner world, and Cheng Bin can't judge whether there are things like genes composed of more microscopic units such as molecules and atoms inside.

But through the violent experiment of the fire element, he can confirm that the body material itself is another form of the element, and everything in this world is essentially composed of the same thing.

In this process, it is indirectly verified that the stomach-like organ in the red dragon has the function of partially converting elements and substances.

Cheng Bin once captured some rare wild animals that can affect elements for dissection experiments, trying to figure out how these elements-related organs affect substances and elements, but after research, he found that the specific reaction process is far smaller than the cell scale. There is no way to observe reliable data.

So so far, Cheng Bin can only rely on the innate elemental induction of the red dragon to perceive the interfering fire element, and has no way to recognize the true form of the element from other objective angles.

In the same way, Cheng Bin also has no way to carefully observe the objective material changes in his brain, crystal nucleus, and elemental soul field. Decipher the connection interface between biological thinking and mysterious power Chakra.

After all, when Cheng Bin went to the world of Naruto, his cognition and control of matter had penetrated into the nucleus, and he knew the objective material structure corresponding to information such as memory and thinking in the human brain, and his research foundation was too solid.

However, it is no problem to analyze some superficial things in the same way.

Standing next to the decaying tree, the tip of two fingers pinched the severed skeleton like a camera. The red dragon savored the spell-like spell that the skeleton threw on his head again, and mused thoughtfully: "Hypnosis!" Forget it, this fear technique.

"In terms of its operating form, it's very similar to the electromagnetic radiation version of the fear aura I created in the inner domain. Speaking of which, don't giant dragons generally have dragon power? It's worth a try."

Combining the past experience with the elemental fluctuations analyzed from the previous panorama, the red dragon raised the skeleton in front of his eyes, and after a while, he glared at it fiercely. A ray of fire turned into ripples and swept across the skeleton's body.

After being hit by the spell-like magic modified by the red dragon, the skeleton, which lost its limbs and moved slowly overall, did not respond at all.

"Uh, did I guess wrong? You can't use this kind of spell with soul and fire elements? Or is it useless for mindless things?"

After Long Wei, who was unfavorable for himself, shook his head, Red Dragon threw away the immobile skeleton, propped his body upright on his hind legs, and stretched his neck to look around.

Because of the dark aura and the appearance of the dragon, the creatures that could move around had already fled. The red dragon looked around and couldn't find a single experimental product.

The red dragon, who was about to fly up and try to find animals in a further place, just spread his dragon wings, but his body that was about to fly suddenly stopped, and then he turned his head and looked to the side.

The delicate panorama depicts a clear outline of the humanoid figure obscured by layers of plants.

Not long ago, not far from the open space corroded by strange forces.

"strangeness."

Dressed in emerald green armor that seemed to be woven purely from branches, leaves and vines, and carrying a short bow without any arrows, the slender figure jumped off the huge purple-black cheetah, patted his partner's neck and expressed doubts. looking forward.

This blond, blue-eyed, sharp-eared elf with handsome facial features is one of the elite rangers of the Elven Kingdom, and is currently working on the border as a special investigator for the phenomenon of overlapping planes.

"What's the matter? Ivy?" Another black-haired blue-eyed elf with a sheathed long knife driving another cheetah stopped beside him, and asked his teammates strangely.

Staring at the distance covered by the plants, the elf Ivy pondered for a moment and then said to his companion: "Lacey, do you feel it too? It should be connected to the shadow or the plane of the dead

"As far as this kind of highly erosive plane is concerned, the guy who can cross the barrier of the plane should not stay where he is now, and his breath should not be so weak."

Lacey, whose muscular outline is much more pronounced than Ivy's, jumped off the cheetah, allowing the two animal partners to hide together, then raised his hand and adjusted the handle of the knife on his back to the most convenient position, and said to his companion who was watching cautiously: "My elemental sense is not as sharp as yours. Maybe it happened to bump into other powerful creatures and was injured in the battle?"

Ivy glanced at Lacey and jumped onto the branch: "That's the problem. I can't feel any residual breath except for that weak guy, but there is a sense of depressive danger surrounding that area."

Lacey, who looked at the surrounding terrain, shrugged and said, "It turns out that if the perception is too high, it will be very troublesome."

Ai Wei snorted softly, and after leaving a sentence, he dodged forward among the branches: "So, let me go to investigate first, and you wait for my signal with the siren. If the situation is not right, you can retreat first. , you don’t need to worry about my animal partner, it will figure out what to do by itself.”

"Hello!" Seeing his companion dodge away among the branches without saying a word, Lacey put down his hand helplessly after he raised it halfway. Sighing, "Okay, well, be careful yourself."

There are all kinds of plants in the jungle, but the blond elf leaping forward did not cause any obvious movement.

Every time it lands a foot, every time it puts hands together, every time it passes through the branches, leaves and vines, the plants will actively cooperate by bouncing, bending or deflecting.

This kind of instinctive plant affinity, or some kind of special element control ability, is possessed by most elves in the elf kingdom, but only a few outstanding ones can exert it to such an easy and natural level.

Ivy, who was walking comfortably in the jungle with countless dangers, quickly approached his goal. He gradually slowed down to reduce the movement caused by his actions, and finally stopped at a limit distance and looked into the distance through the looming gap. That unnatural clearing.

The ground corroded by both shadow energy and necromantic energy made Ivy's heart beat slightly - looking at that level of corrosion, the level of monsters appearing here may not be low, so why?

After changing two angles and finding a place with a good view, Ivy finally saw the source of the inexplicable sense of oppression in the environment-a giant dragon with red scales standing in the open space where the trees decayed and collapsed.

"This is the red dragon from the youth? There are some differences compared with the illustrated book."

Recalling the record about the red dragon in the rare creature illustrated book, Ivy frowned slightly, and a trace of hostility could not help but appear in his heart.

Changing to any other kind of creature, or even any other kind of giant dragon, Ivy will not produce such obvious hostility. As long as he confirms that the harm caused by the phenomenon of overlapping planes will not spread, he is also happy Seeing wildlife helps reduce his workload.

But Red Dragon is an exception.

For the Elven Kingdom, although the giant dragon with high attack, high defense and high maneuverability is difficult to deal with, it is not an irresistible enemy - as evidenced by the various dragon materials in the kingdom's strategic reserves.

The strength of the Red Dragon is not top-notch in the cognition of the elves, but when it comes to the contradictions and grievances between the Red Dragon and the Elf Kingdom, and the degree of dislike of the elves, the Red Dragon is definitely on the list, even at the top .

Because the elves are a race that coexists with nature and plants, and the red dragon's favorite thing is to set fire.

Most of the area of ​​this plane, especially the area where the kingdom of elves is located, is basically covered by vast vegetation, and only the plant cities where elves gather have artificial resistance to various elements, which can spontaneously resist in nature. There are very few plants that are damaged by fire.

In this case, for the elves, the existence of a red dragon that likes high temperature environments, is irritable and irritated, and ignites a large forest with a breath of dragon breath is a crime in itself-brought by the dragon breath composed of fire elements. The fire is not so easy to extinguish.

Moreover, a giant dragon with a body is far more difficult to deal with than a pure fire element life.

Not to mention that some gifted red dragons have successfully grown to the top, and are even so powerful that they can form an indelible halo of burning embers around their bodies, which can be called a moving fire disaster.

In the past history, there have been more than one profound lessons that made the elves who have seen the scorched earth hate the red dragon to the bone.

Although this is the first time Ivey has witnessed the red dragon with his own eyes, under the influence and education of the general environment, it is normal for him to have instinctive hostility in his heart.

However, this trace of hostility cannot distort Ivy's sanity as an elite ranger.

"Why can't I feel the elemental reaction of that red dragon?" Although the power of the young red dragon is not strong in the records, Ivy still carefully kept observing in the dark, "It shouldn't be, this kind of extraordinary creature should be able to Instinctively emits elemental aura.

"Don't it need to absorb the elements in the environment at any time? Can it also control every element contained in the body? Impossible."

After pressing his hand on his back waist and sending a message to his companion, Ivy hesitated for a moment, then took a slow breath, and took off the short wooden bow behind him and held it in his hand.

Creatures like giant dragons generally do not grow up in a safe place and will not come out to wander around when they reach adulthood. Now he can only perform his duties as a scout, and leave after completing the investigation and leave the matter to other elves, but if the red dragon later Disappeared and hidden, after that time there will be an adult red dragon wreaking havoc in the plane.

It is very difficult to kill an adult dragon if he does not make mistakes. Compared with not knowing how serious the loss will be in the future, it is necessary to try to solve this big trouble directly here. No matter what the result is, other elves will support him now s Choice.

— After all, it’s just a young dragon

After making the decision, Ivy calmed down with silent breaths, and then slowly opened the wooden bow without arrows towards the open space separated by a large number of plant obstacles.

The green plants in the wide area nearby seem to be blown by a gust of wind, and the green branches and leaves sway slowly with an inexplicable rhythm.

At this moment, the red dragon seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned the ferocious unicorn head in Ivy's direction.

Ai Wei gave up his concealment immediately with a sharp look, his hands and the wooden bow flashed with emerald green complex patterns, and then his right hand let go of the bowstring.

As if an invisible giant string was ringing in the air, all the plants in all directions trembled at the same time, and then dots of green light overflowed from the many plants, converging into countless streams in the blink of an eye, flowing along the inexplicable The guide focused on the center of the open space.

Thousands of emerald green arrows of light shot from all directions, and the red dragon, whose thinking was running at super speed, completed the analysis and judgment in an instant like a white horse passing by. The limbs of the dragon's tail erupted with majestic power in the flames at the same time, tearing through the air and rushing towards the gap knocked out by the skeleton.

Seeing the emerald green rays of light colliding together and a circle of explosive flames shining in the open space at the same time, his vision was temporarily blocked, and a huge roar that shook his heart sounded in his ears. Ivy, whose body was shaking, changed his face slightly, and pressed his hand The trunk on the side of the upper body drew a wooden arrow from it and put it on the short bow.

"How could this dragon have such a high elemental density in its body?!" At the moment when the red dragon moved, he felt a substantial elemental pressure from around his body. The hand with the arrow still did not tremble in the slightest.

"Cold, calm down. As long as you infiltrate it with a vegetative arrow and disrupt its control over the power in its body, the high-density violent fire element itself will blow it up."

Mumbling to himself, Ivy opened his eyes wide, using all his senses to capture every change in the environment, trying to find the figure of the red dragon.

However, before Ivy could continue to take action, his body suddenly became completely stiff in an uncontrollable sense of fear, as if a huge lava mouth full of purgatory-like heat opened behind him and bit him innally.

Cheng Bin, who was suspended in the sky, looked at the limbs hit by the green light arrows that he didn't avoid, and found that under the action of the dense fire element that was deeply embedded with the body, these light arrows that broke through the protection of the dragon scales did not give him any damage. He does no apparent harm.

If you do the math, even if the light arrows hit all of them, the consumption of fire element needed to counteract their power is much less than the power consumed by the burst of speed just now.

"But the green light arrow is a strange thing after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

With vertical pupils, he glanced at the elf who was immobilized by his new dragon power, which was not known how different it was from the original version. The red dragon flew to one side, and retrieved the skeleton he had used as a shield before to observe it. .

From the already weak skeleton, Cheng Bin felt a little bit of the power of the light arrow - at this moment the skeleton has completely lost its ability to move, the magic pattern on its ashes is dim and fuzzy, and the strands of green brilliance are like vines. The vine generally grows sprawling over its skeleton.

The red dragon flew back to the clearing and glanced at the center of the corroded land, but saw that dense plants had grown in the place where the light arrows converged before. Except for the place where he started, which still tenaciously exuded high temperature and incinerated the nearby plants, the rest of the clearing was basically covered by these plants.

The red dragon carrying the skeleton fell to the ground, casually flapped its wings and swept its tail, lifted some trees to clear the gap, and then turned its attention to the elf who fell aside.

"Huh?" Upon discovering two unexpected phenomena on the elf, Cheng Bin couldn't help but let out a little gasp, "Longwei still has this effect? ​​But this elf, did I have a blind eye in the corridor of time and space?"
