Man at the top of the food chain

Currently, Xindongyang is divided into four major divisions: east, west, north, south. Except for the North District, which is dominated by the remaining people from the East, the other three major areas have been occupied by countless monsters.

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and Claudia and her group were getting closer and closer to West 69th District. At this time, there were five fewer people in the team than before. Moreover, almost every one of the remaining people looked tired and dusty, and they looked no better than refugees.

In the center of the team, Claudia also looked haggard, with chapped lips and an earthy smell in her hair. She never imagined that there could be such a dangerous place in the world.

You must know that half of their team can be capable people. The leader of the team, Tares, is a level four ability user and has many years of adventure experience. But even so, they still lost six people along the way, and their mental and physical strength were almost to the limit.

Along the way, Claudia and the others encountered invisible cheetahs, mantises larger than humans, monsters that could spray lava, and woods covering hundreds of square meters that could move and hunt.

All kinds of monsters make the team members physically and mentally exhausted. Only Thales is still in high spirits all day long, looking like the first day he sets out every day.

At this time, the team has reached West 68th Area. What they saw before them was an endless expanse of scorched earth, without trees, flowers or grass. It was like a desert of life, with no sign of any life in sight.

In the distance of the scorched earth, there is a volcano that is constantly smoking, erupting sporadic magma from time to time. There was a "bobo" vibration on the ground, making people wonder if the volcano would fully erupt in the next moment.

One team member said: "There are finally no more monsters here, right?"

Another person said: "Is it okay for us to go this way? The volcano seems to be erupting at any time."

Thales smiled. No words were spoken. But Claudia on the side had already seen the other party's abilities in the past few days. Seeing Tarez's expression at this time, she couldn't help but ask: "What, are they wrong?"

Tares shook his head: "Did you know? In nature, powerful creatures have their own territory. In their territory, other species are very rare."

A big man heard what Tares said and asked: "Are you saying that the place we are now is the territory of a powerful creature?"

Tares nodded and replied: "The entire West 68 area belongs to the territory of the golden three-headed dragon. This monster is more than a hundred meters long. It weighs tens of thousands of tons and has the ability to manipulate gravity. Discovered for the first time He directly sacrificed hundreds of soldiers."

A young man next to him heard Tarez's introduction and immediately became scared: "Then why are we going here? If we are discovered by this monster, wouldn't we be doomed?"

Others also looked at Thales in confusion. After just a few days of getting along, they had already understood Tarez's abilities. He was by no means a mindless person seeking death, so they were all waiting for his explanation.

Tares did not disappoint everyone and explained: "Although the golden three-headed dragon is very powerful, he is very gentle compared to other monsters. Because he spent most of the month lying in that volcano. sleep.”

He pointed to the volcano in the distance that was constantly emitting thick smoke and said: "This monster usually absorbs the energy of the volcano inside, so this volcano seems to be very active, but in fact it will not erupt. As long as we quietly If you don't wake him up, this route will be very safe."

Next, the group of people ran towards the direction of the volcano. According to Tarez, as long as they climbed over the volcano, they could reach their destination, West 69 Area.

But along the way, everyone was reminded by Thales. He behaved cautiously and did not dare to make loud noises. If he had anything to say, he always lowered his voice for fear of waking up the golden three-headed dragon in the volcano.

Two hours later. They had climbed halfway up the volcano, and the temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

However, no one complained at this time. The nine-day journey had made everyone in the team understand that Xindongyang was definitely not a good place for a vacation. Any carelessness or mistake could lead to death.

At this moment, the little ferret-like thing on Tarez's shoulder suddenly squeaked a few times. Tarez looked in the direction of the little thing and saw a strange flower in front of it. Blooming under a cliff.

"Wait for me." As he said that, he put down his backpack, took out his tools, and ran towards the flowers.

People in the same team are already familiar with it. The little thing on Tarez's shoulder is also a species discovered in Dongyang. It is called the golden rat. It has a strong sense of smell and vision and can always find some valuable animals and animals. plant.

It was thanks to this money rat that Thales was able to discover many particularly valuable things and avoid fatal crises time and time again. In fact, when many powerful ability users explore Xindongyang, they will find ways to subdue one or two useful creatures to help the expedition.

Because the Daxia government does not allow extremely dangerous creatures to flow out of New Dongyang, they often choose creatures like money rats that are not strong in combat but have special abilities.

When everyone watched Tares carefully dig out the flowers on the cliff and stuff them into an animal skin pocket on his belt, they couldn't help but look envious.

It was a pocket made of the skin of a void dragon. The body of this void dragon was very weak, about the size of an ordinary person's arm, but it had a strange space bag ability, which allowed it to hide in a space bag when in danger. A pocket made of its skin had a chance to become a space pocket.

It was said that only more than 100 similar pockets had been produced, and 80% of them had been taken away by the Daxia government. Because this kind of space pocket aroused great interest in a supervisor in the Eighth Research Institute, he was trying to fully crack the principle.

After putting the flower into the space pocket, Tares showed a satisfied smile on his face.

His space pocket was not big, and it was used to store all things that were not easy to preserve or were particularly precious, so he still had to carry a backpack.

"Okay. Let's go." As Tares finished speaking, the group set off again and headed towards the top of the volcano.

But when they had walked for more than ten minutes, a huge roar of a beast suddenly came from the sky.

With the roar of this beast, the entire volcanic area seemed to be lively. Many strange-looking insects crawled out from under the rocks, running in all directions as if the world was about to end.

Just as everyone was panicking, the second roar of the beast came from the sky again, accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, and a palpitating feeling weighed on everyone's hearts.

That was the most primitive fear of mankind. It was like a frog encountering a snake, a sheep encountering a wolf. Everyone's eyes showed a look of fear. Some people even had weak legs and almost fell to the ground.

"Damn, it's Long Wei!"

Talese looked up at the sky, and saw a black shadow in the air coming over the volcano in an instant.

Black scales, thick limbs. And wings more than 200 meters wide. What flew in the sky was a black dragon that only existed in myths and legends.

Everyone present looked at the black dragon hovering in the sky with an ugly face, and angry dragon roars came from the black dragon's mouth. Even a fool could tell that he was provoking.

Tare's face was livid, and he said in disbelief: "What's going on? Why did the black dragon come here? Why did he provoke the golden three-headed dragon?"

But in the eyes of these behemoths, there was obviously no place for Tares and his men. With the roar of the black dragon, the whole volcano began to shake violently, and a golden dragon head emerged from the crater. There were still drops of magma on the dragon head, which dripped from the dragon head's mouth onto the volcanic rock, making a series of sizzling sounds.

Then the golden dragon head was seen pointing at the sky, and it also let out a terrifying roar. The sound waves visible to the naked eye spread in all directions, and the whole volcano trembled violently, and large pieces of broken bodies fell down.

And in the team, most of the people were staggering in this roar. The terrible sound waves even made them all tinnitus, and they couldn't hear anything.

Tarres's face darkened, and he grabbed Claudia beside him and shouted, "Go! Go! They are fighting for territory! Go before they start fighting!"

Several powerful ability users followed Tarres directly, and some weaker ones also stood up staggeringly.

Tarres ran. He turned his head with an ugly face and saw that three huge golden dragon heads had all emerged from the crater. Accompanied by the terrible roar of the beast, countless rocks began to shatter, and the black dragon in the sky fell towards the crater.

'It's the gravity field! The ability of the golden three-headed dragon! Damn it! 'Seeing this, Tarres knew that the golden three-headed dragon used its ability to increase the gravity field near him. This move once crushed a special forces unit into a meat paste in an instant.

Now he turned his head and saw that where they were originally standing, those team members who walked a few steps late had all been pressed to the ground, squeezed and deformed little by little.

At the crater, with the impact of the black dragon, the two behemoths all rolled and fell into the depths of the volcano. Tares could only hear angry roars and feel the ground shaking under his feet.

Just like this, he could feel how fierce the battle between the two terrifying monsters was. If it was on the East Continent, the battle between the two might directly destroy a city.

At this time, he couldn't help but admire what method the Daxia high-level officials used to restrain all these dangerous monsters on Dongyang Island.

Then Tares thought again: "But what's going on? Why did the black dragon come back to provoke? Is it to fight for territory? But I remember that the black dragon has its own territory?"

While thinking, Tares led the remaining team members to run down the mountain quickly. Behind him, including Claudia, everyone was pale and full of fear. At this time, no one thought about West District 69. Getting away from these two monsters as soon as possible was the highest priority.

Fortunately, the two monsters only had eyes for each other and had no time to care about the little bugs like Tares. So half an hour later, the group finally escaped safely to the foot of the volcano. They all looked at the direction of the crater with lingering fear, and still heard waves of beast roars.

Just as the group began to think about what to do next, one wave after another, and another sound came from the sky.

This time it was no longer the dragon roar before, but a series of thunderous noises.

A big man looked at the sky in confusion and muttered, "Is it thundering? Is it going to rain?"

But as the sound of thunder sounded, the next moment, something that stunned everyone happened. The black dragon and the golden three-headed dragon crawled out of the crater at the same time. They looked like a couple caught in bed after having an affair. Even Talese and others could see the panic in their movements.

Just watching the two giant beasts crawl out of the crater, they didn't dare to roar or fight, and chose two opposite directions and flew out like dogs that had lost their homes.

Talese was surprised and said, "They? Are they running away?"
