Pushing open the extremely simple wooden door, a fresh scent of flowers and plants rushed towards him, and Roy looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze. A few days ago, I was looking out at the sky and white clouds from the cracks in my roof. Roy never thought it would be like this outside.

How to describe this place? A big rock?

Now Roy is on a flat and huge rock, but this flat rock is not on a certain mountain, but straight inserted into the mountain!

Behind Roy was a high mountain that could not be seen from the top. The mountain wall was steep and almost right angled, covered with various vines and some unknown small flowers. The vines extended to this rock like they were growing in all directions, now covering the entire surface of the rock, and this rock was so straight that it penetrated into the mountain wall.

The masterpieces of nature!? Roy stared at the junction of this huge rock and the mountain in astonishment, as if there were huge cracks extending far away from him. Even to the death of Roy, he didn't believe that it would be naturally formed. It was clear that some force had forcefully inserted this rock into the mountain.

But how much does this rock weigh? A few meals, dozens or hundreds of tons! What kind of force is needed to move such a large rock! Even ten giant dragons cannot move such a huge rock with an area of several thousand square meters just exposed outside the mountain wall.

Roy's heart was shaken, there really could be such a person in this world!

Roy couldn't help but turn his gaze towards the old man, who was trembling as he walked towards another larger treehouse on the rock. A gust of wind blew, and the old man's thin body seemed to float with his hair. Although he was surprised by the old man's ability to control himself with a wave of his hand in the past few days, Roy couldn't imagine this wild man like old man having such great abilities.

Otherwise, wouldn't this old man have become a guest of honor for a powerful country on the mainland? How could he have come to save himself.

Roy carefully approached the edge of the rock and looked down. The entire mountain wall was as steep as if it had been cut by a knife, except for this rock that stood out in mid air. Apart from that, there was nothing else on the mountain wall.

Roy swallowed and said, "This is a Jedi!"!

There was a faint mist hovering over the rocks, and Roy looked up. Standing outside the treehouse, Roy finally saw clearly that the clouds seemed to be within reach of him. Surrounded by cliffs, there was no way out, only countless vines hanging from the mountain wall behind him. Roy asked himself that he had no confidence in climbing up a mountain that could not be seen at all. In the distance, there is a low and undulating mountain, with layers of dark green trees growing on top of the mountain. At the edge of the sky, a tall mountain range blocks the view, and at the top of the mountain is a sheet of white snow.

Roy scratched his head, this is clearly the Passer Mountains! This year, as a crew member, Roy has flown over the Passer Mountains countless times, and the rough outline of the mountains is still recognizable. It seems that he is not too far away from the place where the airship was attacked.

How did you come by yourself? Isn't this old man even leaving here? What to eat? What to drink? Do you also soak in that strange flower every day?

Roy's mind is full of questions.

"Don't be in a daze, come in quickly, or else we won't have dinner today and go get our own food."

Why does this sound so familiar? A picture of a burly man appeared in front of Roy.

I don't know how Rose is now, it should be saved!

Roy shook his head, tidied up his mood, and saw that the old man had already entered the big tree house.

Whether it's life or death, let's see. Roy also ran to the treehouse, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.

This treehouse is not much different from Roy's except it's a bit larger, that is, it has no decorations at all.

There are two piles of dry grass in the house, one big and one small. The big one should be the old man's own bed, because on the small pile of dry grass, there is now a beautiful creature that looks like a pterosaur.

This is a strange creature that is only half a person's age: its whole body is covered with light green scales, a pair of oddly shaped wings are folded behind its back, revealing a pair of slender front claws under its body, a slender tail is slightly curled, and there is an extremely beautiful head with a line above its slender and elegant neck. What surprised Roy the most was that this creature's eyes were colors that he had never heard of before, and there seemed to be countless brilliance flowing in its eyes faintly.

Upon hearing the human voice, it turned its head, but when it saw Roy, this beautiful creature that had just been as quiet as a virgin suddenly let out an angry scream! With a shout, he spread his wings and flew up from the dry grass, his dreamy eyes staring straight at Roy.

At this moment, the old man walked over calmly, blocking its view of Roy.

"It's okay, he won't hurt you. I came to ask him to help you," the old man said with a smile.

Roy stared behind the old man and saw the unknown creature let out a dry scream before falling back onto the dry grass.

Although Roy's understanding of this world is still very poor to this day, he also knows that there are some creatures with advanced intelligence in this world that can communicate with other races, and even with humans. However, creatures with such advanced intelligence also have incredibly strong power. They are all powerful beings with their own territories, such as dragons!

And now the old man has come to the side of the creature that looks like a pterosaur, babbling to it like a household chatter, and it surprisingly seems to understand and occasionally nods to Roy's side.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

This little thing is actually a super advanced monster! And from what I just did, why does this little thing seem to have some deep hatred towards me?

Seeing the old man waving to him, Roy carefully watched the little thing's movements and circled around the house. Finally, he hid behind the old man, only to find that the little thing seemed to have lost interest in him and never looked at him again.

"This is a phantom dragon," the old man said.

So this thing is called a phantom dragon! The name is quite appropriate!

"Starting from today, you need to search for food for this phantom dragon once a day!"

"Uh!? What? Why!" Roy thought to himself, and indeed, he let himself work hard, his voice rising uncontrollably.

Seeing Roy's face full of dissatisfaction, the old man glared and said, "Why!? It's because you poured a bucket of venom onto someone's head. Now that this phantom dragon mother and son are all on the brink of death, I work hard every day to keep them alive and take care of you rascal. Now that you're alive and kicking, it's time to help me!" The old man angrily sprayed the spitting star on Roy's face.

Roy only then noticed that two small heads were exposed in the dry grass next to the phantom dragon, staring curiously at Roy with two pairs of black and shiny eyes, but they were actually two young dragons.

Looking at Roy's skeptical gaze, the old man snorted and explained, "The Phantom Dragon is a very magical creature that has existed on this continent since ancient times, even longer than human history. The body of the Phantom Dragon is not strong, but its vitality is slightly more tenacious. However, the Phantom Dragon can use two types of magic, which has caused countless ancient creatures to become extinct over thousands of years, but it has survived. In times of danger, the Phantom Dragon can cast magic to make the other party hallucinate. This kind of illusion is not comparable to those created by the poor mages on the continent. Known as the 'mirror of reality', all situations of people in illusions will be reflected in reality, including injuries and even death!"

Roy was horrified in his heart! This thing can kill invisibly! Just now, this phantom dragon seemed to be about to use some magic on itself, but later it was interrupted by the old man!

The old man continued, "And the second type of magic of the Phantom Dragon is their true magic. Whenever a creature is about to die, the Phantom Dragon can completely suck the soul of that creature into its own body. When it needs it, the Phantom Dragon can transform into this creature in a short time, but its overall ability is usually only about 30% of that of this creature. Every time it absorbs a soul, a color will be added to its eyes based on its attributes."

Roy looked at the sparkling eyes of the phantom dragon as it opened and closed, and his heart trembled.

How many souls have been extracted from this!

"When she attacked your airship that day, she used the form of an ancient large flying dragon, which may have been a soul from a long time ago, not even I have seen it."

"She attacked us, but now you want me to help her find food?" Roy's face didn't look good.

"She also saved you. You thought you fell directly on me! She grabbed you all the way and flew back."

"I think you're trying to catch me and feed its child," Roy refused to give in at all. "We don't have much kindness between us. She attacked me first, and even if she wants to save me later, it's at best fair. We don't owe each other!"

"How can you repay my kindness, old man?" The old man had a sly smile on his face.

"Uh!" Roy suffocated.

"I didn't originally plan to live, but if you want it, I'll go die and pay you back!" Roy began to play pranks.

"Are you saying that the old man's busy schedule is all about meddling in his own business, and it's keeping you from going to hell?" the old man asked slowly.

Anyway, Roy couldn't say such words in front of his life-saving benefactor.

"The world is going downhill!" The old man sighed, but secretly glanced at Roy. "When will I be able to hold onto my heart and not save you?" The old man kept sighing and sighing.

Roy's heart was clear: Isn't it just a run on himself! However, after all, they have pulled themselves back from the gates of hell, and this kind of kindness is real. Now there is a demand for them, and it is not an excessive demand.

Roy turned his head to look at the phantom dragon, which seemed to know that there was a battle between heaven and man in Roy's heart. His beautiful eyes showed a hint of pleading. Just now, the phantom dragon seemed to be about to fight and kill him, but now it showed a weak side for his child, which reminded Roy of his elderly parents.

Okay, Roy admits that he has indeed softened his heart.

"Hey! Good, good! Even if it's for these two poor little dragons, I'll help this time."

Perhaps no one realized that the most crucial aspect of the entire incident was not Roy's gratitude to the old man, nor was it the plea of this phantom dragon, but rather a kind of intolerance towards these two small phantom dragons.

Roy, who has experienced life and death, does not underestimate life. On the contrary, Roy has a kind of respect for life and an extreme desire for it. However, he does not know how to face everything and his completely distorted life. Therefore, Roy is willing to give up everything for the tenacious fighting rose, while also finding some coordinates and meaning for his life.

Now, the fate of these two small phantom dragons is linked to Roy, and no matter what, Roy does not want them to die prematurely due to his own reasons.

"What should I do!? You tell me!" Roy died with a heroic expression on his face.

The old man's eyes lit up as he saw Roy agree.

Next, the old man told Roy the whole story.

It turned out that this phantom dragon was really not operating on the route from the Will League to the Caton Empire, as Rose had said. This phantom dragon had been living with the old man for a long time, most of which was spent lazily sleeping. The old man called this phantom dragon "Green Spirit"

Not long ago, Green Spirit gave birth to two young dragons, and their movements began to change from usual.

Usually, the green spirit doesn't eat much and sometimes flies out to make wild fruits and other things for tooth hunting. However, after giving birth, the green spirit starts to hunt frequently and always brings back some animal carcasses.

The old man told Roy that when the Phantom Dragon raised its children, both the mother and the young dragon ate meat, and the Phantom Dragon's young needed a special food to survive. This thing only grows in some extremely cold places. This thing is called an ice lotus, which is formed by the cold air of extremely cold places and the precipitation and condensation of pure and thin water elements over the years, forming a strange ice crystal resembling a lotus flower. Such a harsh growth environment makes large snow capped mountains like the Paser Mountains the most likely place for ice lotus to grow, and the old man suspects that this phantom dragon has been staying here waiting for the birth of its cubs.

I don't know if it was the luck of the Green Spirit or the luck of Rose and Roy. That day, the Green Spirit didn't find an ice lotus until late at night and could only fly non-stop in the snow mountain, hoping to return early to catch prey for the hungry young dragon. Finally, Rose's airship appeared in the sight of the Green Spirit.

At least fill your stomach first before bringing back some food for the children!

So everything naturally happened.

The Green Spirit transformed into a huge flying dragon and attacked the airship. In the end, Roy risked everything to engage in an aerial battle with the Green Spirit, pouring all the venom into its mouth. The injured Green Spirit was unable to maintain its magic and was knocked back to its original form. In the end, it grabbed the unconscious Roy and flew back to the old man's place.

Turns out I was really caught as food!

However, is this phantom dragon a bit abnormal? It's a whole big bucket. Even an ordinary monster would peel off a layer of skin if it touched a little bit, not to mention spilling venom directly on the wound. Moreover, it seems that this phantom dragon is only slightly weak and has no problems. In the old man's mouth, its vitality is just a bit stubborn. It's simply incredibly powerful.

"Your task is to search for ice lotus on the snowy mountain!"

"Hmm? What!? It's not hunting! But running up to the big snow mountain to find ice lotus!?" Roy stared at the boss with a pair of eyes.

Oh my goodness! Are you playing with me again?
