All my hunting commissions come from another world?

That attack was already an extraordinary performance by Zhou Si, but it seemed to have no effect on Alatreon. The gap between the two was like an insurmountable chasm, and Zhou Si could not see any chance of winning.

'Caged Bird, it looks like I won't be able to go back to the Old World with you this time.'

Zhou Si thought to himself silently, then turned back to look in the direction of the New World.

'Little mute, you absolutely have to win, otherwise I'll have given away my prize for nothing.'

Having retrieved the last Pure Origin Stone from the Hunter's Book, Zhou Si was ready for one last gamble.

Just as he was about to put the source stone into his mouth, a deep, middle-aged male voice reached Zhou Si's ears from the front.

“It seems that you are better than He said.”

Looking down at the shattered scales on his chest and the flowing ancient dragon blood, his dark eyes were filled with sighs.

It couldn't remember the last time it had been injured. Originally, it just wanted to see for itself what made this human that Miraruz had chosen so special. Now it seemed that he was far more outstanding than Miraruz had imagined.

"So you've come to test me?"

Zhou Si looked at the Alatreon in front of him with some surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make a lot of sense. After all, judging from Miraruz's tone, he and Alatreon should be quite familiar with each other.

"You may think so."

Elbatlien did not deny it. Zhou Si wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

Well, let it be a test. It's better than them actually coming to cause trouble.

This brief exchange made Zhou Si acutely aware of the gap between himself and the Forbidden One. If the Black Dragon really wanted to kill him, it wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

"Haha, now that you've finished your test, you should be able to go back, right?"

Zhou Si chuckled twice, trying to make his expression less stiff, but it was clear that the Black Dragon hadn't come just for him.

"That Safi'jiiva is also my target."

The Safi'jiiva will not stop modifying the ecosystem. If it is allowed to grow wildly, the entire New World and even the whole world will be transformed into an environment suitable only for its survival, which is something that Alatreon absolutely cannot allow.

Its most important duty is to deal with these ecological destroyers, but now, perhaps it can finally relax for a while.

Upon hearing Huang Heilong's reply, Zhou Si's face immediately fell. It was indeed not that simple.

But now it seems that we definitely can't win by fighting, so we can only try other methods.

"Is it possible that you don't go to the New World? You should know what the conditions are like in the places you've been."

Zhou Si asked, his neck stiff. He couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being, so he decided to ask Huang Heilong's attitude first. Maybe if he talked to it properly, it wouldn't go.

"No need for honorifics, just call me El."

The Black Dragon first corrected Zhou Si's form of address, then nodded in surprise.

"of course can."

"What do you need me to do?"

Zhou Si then inquired, "This big shot obviously wouldn't give up for no reason."

"Since you don't want me to go to the New World, then you shall fulfill my duty." The majestic voice of the Black Dragon echoed across the sea. "Kill that Crimson Dragon, and I will leave."

Hearing what Alatreon said, Zhou Si nodded. This request was a bit too reasonable; they originally intended to hunt down Safi'jiiva as well.

"Nothing else?"

"Kill the Fatalis."

Zhou Si regretted asking the question the moment he finished, but fortunately, the Black Dragon was indeed very honest and did not make any other demands on Zhou Si.

“I will stay in this sea area for a few days. If you fail to kill the Crimson Dragon, then I will take action.”

Zhou Si nodded. As long as they didn't go to the New World, everything was negotiable.

"In that case, I'll go back and help out."

After finishing his conversation with Alatreon, Zhou Si immediately wanted to leave, but just as he was about to depart, Alatreon suddenly called out to him.

"Wait a minute."

"Mr. El, is there anything else?"

Zhou Si turned her head and forced a smile.

“It was indeed my fault in handling this matter; please accept this.”

To Zhou Si's astonishment, an invisible force carried a jet-black scale to Zhou Si's front. If Zhou Si was not mistaken, the owner of this scale was the Black Dragon over there.

"This item should be of use to you; consider it my apology."

It was more than just useful. Zhou Si was speechless as he looked at the scales in his hand. Although this guy had beaten him up without saying a word, it had given him far too much.

Are all your taboos so easy to talk about?

No one could answer Zhou Si's questions, but after leaving behind its last words, the Black Dragon spread its wings and flew away.

"I will help you once for free. If you need anything, contact me using that thing called a cell phone."

Well, you're quite trendy, aren't you?

Zhou Si looked in the direction where the Black Dragon had left, feeling a bellyful of complaints he couldn't vent.

In the end, he could only bury his questions in his heart and turn back to fly towards the New World.

————————————————————

"What do you think, El? I told you Zhou Si was pretty good, didn't I?"

On a nameless, deserted island, Miraruz sat on a rock, smiling as he looked at Alatreon.

"It's really good."

The Black Dragon nodded. Although it had only met Zhou Si once, it had a good impression of the child. After all, there were no complicated matters here; strength was the only thing that mattered.

"But you are really generous, giving your own Tianlin to Xiao Zhou Si."

Hearing this, the Black Dragon glanced at the silver-haired girl speechlessly, thinking, "How can she compare to you?"

Besides, Zhou Si's increased strength reduced its workload. If it weren't for the fear of scaring the child, it would have given him its own jade.

Ignoring the gaze of the Black Dragon beside him, Miraruz looked towards the direction of the new continent, his eyes filled with anticipation.

'Little Zhou Si, grow up quickly!'

Chapter Thirty-Four: Hmph, trying to escape?

A blinding blue light flashed in the Valley of the Dark Realm, and a destructive torrent of energy instantly destroyed everything around them. The hunters barely escaped because they hid behind the falling rocks, but even with the rocks as a shield, they were still seriously injured.

But compared to them, the Azure Star, which had just been completely exposed to the torrent of energy, was undoubtedly in greater danger.

"Azure Star, are you alright?!"

The Grand Commander opened his eyes, which had been forced closed by the bright light, and looked at the last location of Azure Star.

Azure Star and the Palico remained unharmed, while in front of them stood a humanoid creature covered in jet-black scales.

"You boy."

As the chieftain breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the figure with a hint of helplessness. The figure, covered in black scales, silently turned around and gave a thumbs-up to the hunters behind him.

"I'm not late, am I?"

"Little mute, am I handsome?"

Looking at Zhou Si, who was standing in front of her with a serious and pretentious expression, Cang Lanxing felt both happy and angry. She wanted to give Zhou Si a sour look, but in the end she couldn't hold back and revealed a bright smile.

"generally."

Although he couldn't keep his composure with his expression, he still couldn't admit defeat verbally.

"How is Alatreon doing?"

"It's alright for now. As long as we successfully defeat the Crimson Dragon, it will leave the New World."

It was difficult to go into details, so Zhou Si briefly explained the situation to the regimental commander and the others.

The Grand Master nodded. This was undoubtedly the best news. Without the threat of the Alatreon, the hunters could now go all out.

"We need to pull ourselves together, everyone. We can't let this kid think we're inferior to Fabius and his gang."

"Lord Fabius holds a higher position than you, so be careful not to get retaliated against later."

"That's it."

The Grand Master's clumsy attempt to provoke the hunters made them laugh, but their actions were exactly as the Grand Master had said: they began to replenish their strength and prepare to launch a second wave of attacks against Safi'jiiva.

"Little mute, can you still stand up?"

Zhou Si stretched out a hand to Cang Lanxing, whose cheeks puffed up like baozi when he saw his hateful expression.

Pulling the Azure Star up from the ground, Zhou Si spread his spear wings, gripped his twin swords, and looked at the Crimson Dragon in the distance.

Now it's time to begin the second round.

That's what they say, but the Safi'jiiva clearly doesn't think so. It flaps its wings and flies into the air. It has already drained the energy of the ley lines here, and it is now preparing to move to another area.

"That guy wants to switch regions."

"The deeper you go into the Valley of the Dark Realm, the denser the ley line energy becomes. At that point, the Crimson Dragon can absorb the ley line energy to recover!"

The hunters had clearly seen through its plan, and Zhou Si keenly caught what the hunters were saying.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

The scorching dragon energy surged forth instantly. In this environment rich in earth vein energy, Zhou Si's spear wings were much more powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the dark figure flew behind the Crimson Dragon and wrapped its arms around its tail.

The wingtip nozzles instantly changed direction, and the conversion efficiency of the Dragon Qi Jade and the output power of the gun wing engine were simultaneously maximized, creating a crimson trail tens of meters long in the air.

The enormous red dragon was actually held firmly by Zhou Si, and even though it tried its best to flap its wings, it could not get away from this place.

Moreover, as the power of the dragon energy increased, the hunters below could clearly see that Zhou Si seemed to be forcibly pulling the Crimson Dragon back.

"Little mute! Catch!"

Zhou Si's voice rang out in the empty valley. The moment Azure Star received his message, it flew rapidly into the air, heading straight for the head of the Crimson Dragon.

As she reached the Crimson Dragon's head, a sky-blue hunting flute fell into her hands, and the power of thunder accumulated within it.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the lightning bolt slammed into the head of the Fatalis through the hammerhead of the Thunder Dragon Hunting Horn.

The dizziness from the electrotherapy and the blunt force blows to the head made it impossible for the Fatalis to maintain its strength against Zhou Si.

"Hmmmm!"

Accompanied by Zhou Si's somewhat foul battle roar, he clung tightly to the tail of the Crimson Dragon, spinning it around in the air. The dragon also spun around in the air in an illogical manner before crashing heavily to the ground.

"..."

The thunderous crash of the massive creature hitting the ground echoed through the valley, but the hunters who had gathered around were speechless. They looked at each other, at a loss for words to describe what had just happened.

Until one of the hunters raised his weapon and asked a question rather timidly.

"Shall we...go?"

"Fuck it, fuck it!"

Once the hunters came to their senses, they saw the Safi'jiiva lying on its back and immediately rushed towards their weapons. Although what had just happened was a bit shocking to their worldview, they decided to hunt down the Safi'jiiva first.

"Cool!"

Do you like switching regions?

Brushing the dust off his hands, Zhou Si looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. That's more like it!

The commander applauded Zhou Si from afar, saying that he was a promising young man and that this behavior was in line with his style.

The unconscious Fatalisk was then attacked by the hunters, and its body quickly suffered many more wounds.

Awakening from its coma, the Crimson Dragon could no longer suppress its rage. Its rationality gradually vanished, and it now wanted all these insects to die here.

The already nearly depleted ley line energy was once again extracted by the Crimson Dragon. It tried to use the same trick again, attempting to unleash the 'water droplets' that fell from the sky. However, this time, there were no falling rocks in the Valley of the Darkness to protect the hunters from harm. If it were released, the hunters would surely suffer heavy casualties.

The injured dragon body rose into the air once more, and the earth's energy gathered again, but this time there was one more person present.

"Don't even think about it!"
