"Destroy the fire dragons?"
She had to admit that Fangzheng's answer gave the woman a great shock. She stood there blankly and looked at the behemoth in front of her. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
"B-But aren't you of the same race?"
"Haha, if orangutans could rule the world, would you consider yourself of the same race as them?"
Fangzheng glanced at her contemptuously. Upon hearing this, the woman could not help but be speechless. But soon, she thought of another problem.
"B-But why didn't you appear when we humans encountered a disaster!?"
"Listen carefully, mortal."
Fangzheng raised his head and stared coldly at the woman.
"I'm Nesario, the Guardian of the Land. I protect this land, not you mortals. Your lives and deaths are as insignificant to me as ants. If it weren't for these cruel and greedy beasts who tried to destroy everything on this land, I wouldn't have awakened from my thousand-year slumber. Do you understand? "
"Woo …"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, the woman bit her lip and did not know what to say for a moment. To be honest, she was instinctively unhappy to hear such a contemptuous tone from the black dragon. But the black dragon was right. It protected this land, not humans. It was not the guardian of humans, so it naturally did not have to obey the demands of humans.
Oh no, this feels too good. I'm getting addicted to it.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Fangzheng shook his head and snorted.
"Alright, since you're awake, tell me about the current situation of this land. I've only just woken up. I hope you can provide me with some useful information. "
"That … Of course not a problem."
Although she was still dubious about Fangzheng's words, the woman hesitated for a moment, then told him about the current situation of this world while trembling with fear. From the woman's mouth, Fangzheng finally knew the origin of the fire dragons.
According to the woman, these wyverns seemed to have awakened from a cave in Europe. After they woke up, they launched an attack on the surrounding world. At first, humans tried to use all kinds of weapons to destroy these fire dragons, but as Fangzheng observed, the fire dragons not only reproduced quickly, but also had strong defenses and were resistant to radiation. In the end, even if humans used nuclear weapons, there was no way to completely destroy these fire dragons. On the contrary, it stimulated their reproduction. In the end, the humans were defeated by the Dragon Sea Strategy. They could only hide in the ruins and struggle to survive.
Not only that, but according to the research of those historians, these fire dragons have existed on Earth for a long time. Even those legendary dragon slayings were caused by them. Not only that, but they also destroyed the dinosaurs of the previous era, plunging this Earth into a brand new destruction. Once the Fire Dragons had eaten everything they could eat, they would go into hibernation and wait for those living beings to reproduce again.
That was more than twenty years ago.
At that time, the woman was still a child. She was lucky enough to survive that catastrophe. After that, almost all the humans in various places were destroyed. The remaining humans hid in caves and some fortresses, communicating with each other through some undamaged lines. But now, the communication from other areas was getting less and less. Obviously, many human settlements had been attacked by the fire dragons.
"So, where do you know the most fire dragons?"
"I heard that … the United Kingdom has the most fire dragons because that's where the fire dragons first appeared, but I don't know the specific location … I was still a child at that time after all …."
The woman was a little disappointed when she said that. The reason why she took the risk to sneak into the city ruins was to look for something useful. The settlement she was in was already on the verge of collapsing. Although water and food could still be barely maintained, other things also needed parts to be maintained and repaired. But now that the whole world had been destroyed, those production facilities naturally could not operate anymore. That was why she took the risk to come here to look for things that could be of use.
But even the woman did not expect to find so many good things, so she was so addicted to picking up rubbish that she forgot about the time. By the time she reacted, she was already being targeted by a fire dragon.
It couldn't be helped. Picking up rubbish was addictive.
But now, not only did she lose her horse, even the parts and other things were burnt to a crisp. It was a huge loss. But no matter what, she still survived …. This was a rare piece of good luck.
"Okay, I already know the situation in this world."
After getting the answer from the woman, Fangzheng knew what he should do.
"Then, in return, let me send you back to that small gathering place, how about it?"
"This …."
Faced with Fangzheng's proposal, the woman was obviously a little hesitant. Although the other party did not seem hostile and could communicate with her, he was still a dragon, and a huge black dragon at that. Of course, the woman had never heard of "Nesario", but since the other party called himself the "Guardian of the Earth", he must be a very powerful existence. But … the other party was still a dragon!
But it was even more impossible for the woman to go back by herself. She had already lost her horse, so it would take a lot of time for her to go back to the settlement alone. Not to mention, if there were still fire dragons wandering nearby, a woman without a means of transportation would be the best food.
"Then … please, please send me to the other side of the mountain. I'll go back by myself …."
Although she felt that she was deceiving herself, the woman had no choice but to bite the bullet and make the request. Fangzheng nodded. He stretched out his hand and opened it to the woman.
"Okay, come here by yourself."
"Huh?"
Looking at Fangzheng's open front paw, the woman was stunned for a moment. She glanced hesitantly at Fangzheng's back.
"I … Can't I ride on your back?"
"Who gave you the illusion that you can ride on me? A mortal? "
Fangzheng snorted angrily. To be honest, before he obtained the dragon bloodline, he thought it would be great to be a dragon knight. But after he obtained the dragon bloodline, he realized that for any dragon, being ridden was the greatest humiliation. And whether Fangzheng was a human or a dragon, he did not enjoy being ridden by others. It was the same even if the other party was a woman.
"If a monkey asked to ride on you, would you agree?"
"… I-I'm sorry …."
While crying in her heart that fairy tales were all lies, the woman walked up to Fangzheng while trembling with fear. Fangzheng's front paw closed and grabbed the woman. Then, he flapped his wings and flew into the air.
"Ahhh —!!"
The woman could not help but scream when she felt the violent storm. But she soon found that she was not crushed into meat paste by the dragon as she had imagined, nor was she swallowed in one bite. Instead, the dragon flew with her into the air.
"Which way?"
"To the west … We'll be there as long as we cross that mountain …."
Hearing the woman's answer, Fangzheng did not say anything else. He flapped his wings and flew towards the west.
A journey that would take humans about half a day to reach was less than a minute for Fangzheng. Before long, he had already flown over the mountain range with the little guy and the woman. In the blink of an eye, they had reached their destination.
"So, where is your home … Oh, there's no need to ask."
Fangzheng was about to ask, but when he looked ahead, he smiled. When the woman heard Fangzheng's words, she was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly raised her head and looked ahead. Then, she was shocked.
Not far in front of them, a place that looked like an abandoned factory was being besieged by a group of fire dragons. More than a dozen fire dragons were flying in the sky, spewing flames at the factory below from time to time. However, the resistance of the other party was also very strong. Obviously, the people here seemed to be very familiar with how to fight against the fire dragons. Fangzheng saw bullets being fired from those windows from time to time, forcing back the fire dragons that were trying to pounce on them. It seemed that if they could hold on, it would only be a matter of time before the fire dragons returned empty-handed.
But unfortunately, they could not hold on any longer.
The reason was simple.
They did not have enough bullets left.
"Roar —!!"
Under Fangzheng's watchful eyes, the windows that had resisted the fiercest soon became silent. The flying fire dragons seemed to have sensed that their enemies were no longer a threat, so they tried to pounce on their prey one by one. But just as they were about to poke their heads in, a series of explosions suddenly appeared and forcibly blasted the fire dragons away. However, the fire dragons obviously had no intention of giving up. They were still circling the annoying tin can in front of them, as if they had no intention of giving up on their prey.
"Please, please help my companion, Sir Nesario!!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, the woman hurriedly said. When he heard the woman's request, Fangzheng thought for a moment, then nodded.
"No problem. Let's show these bugs the power of the King of the Earth!"
"Ya- ya-!"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the little fire dragon lying on his back cried out excitedly. Perhaps in its opinion, these guys that looked different from it and had different colors were not its own kind at all.
