Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 721 703. ‘Not good’

Lan En gently told the story of the deer-headed spirit, a type of monster that hunters in this world have never come into contact with. Unknowingly, the entire command vehicle surrounded by a tarpaulin fell into a deep and strange atmosphere. .

"In some places, the creature has even become the center of local belief. Farmers living near their woods would make sacrificial offerings to them, usually rabbits or birds, but human blood was also the traditional option in some places."

"Thus, in many legends, deer-headed spirits are benevolent characters who help lost travelers find their way through the forest or rescue them from bandits."

"Unfortunately, this legend has no basis in reality."

"In the eyes of deer-headed spirits, human beings are just a source of energy. Deer-headed spirits will suck away the vitality of nearby humans until only their bodies are left."

Lan En's tone sounded strange to the hunters. It was obviously a straightforward description, but it somehow made people feel like they were being ridiculed.

This is because demon hunters have seen too much ignorance, superstition, and stubbornness in their careers.

The farmers wishfully believed the nonsense raved by the village witch doctor after taking hallucinogenic drugs, and were unwilling to believe the advice of a professional who made a living by hunting monsters.

Therefore, the vast majority of witchers, even if they are spreading knowledge to their employers, will unconsciously make their employers angry, thinking that the witchers are looking down on them.

But in fact, the demon hunter is not satirizing people, but ignorance and superstition.

This sarcasm, even if their faces are expressionless and their tone is calm, will still be felt unconsciously.

What happened to the other witchers, Lan En didn't know. However, the few demon hunters who had contact with him mostly behaved like this when talking about monsters besides communicating with peers and knowledgeable people.

Among them, Geralt's expressionless and neutral irony is the most irritating.

So much so that Lan En was slightly infected by their friends.

"Whether they are evil or not, one thing that is undeniable is that the deer-headed spirits can indeed be called the incarnation of nature. They have an extremely close connection with the forest and nature. Deer-headed spirits in relatively vast forests are often older than their peers. Bigger, more powerful, mastering more evil magic and rituals.”

"Magic?" Guy's pointed ears twitched, showing an uncomfortable expression.

"After all, how does this so-called deer-headed spirit establish a connection with the forest? Through some kind of hormone it secretes? Or build a food chain centered on it? There must be traces, right?"

The dragon people have long lifespans and are hardworking and kind. So although Guy is a powerful hunter who can use an insect stick to adventure alone in the New World, this does not prevent him from being a qualified scholar.

His thoughts and ideas are typical of ecologists in this world.

But reason and logic are sometimes not omnipotent and universal in magic.

Lan En spread his hands in the face of Guy's question: "This is magic, uncle. As long as it sets foot on the natural land and sets up a totem on that land, it will naturally establish a connection with the land. With hormones and ecological chains, It doesn’t matter what the build is.”

"And this deer-headed spirit is incredibly powerful. Although we don't know the final outcome of its battle with Nergigante, it can even bury its claws into Nergigante's chest to dig for gems."

Lan En said this with a solemn tone: "I estimate that it has probably established a connection with a certain land in the New World, and then drawn strength from the natural ecology."

The Commander-in-Chief also intervened at this time: "If it is a creature that can draw strength from the prosperity of nature, then it is indeed qualified to be ranked at the same level as the ancient dragon. Especially in the New World with such a prosperous ecology."

"Ah, it's difficult." Wen De covered his forehead and sighed.

"The Lava Dragon is about to explode, the deer-headed spirit is about to invade, and a war-crazy Nergigante is turning out to be three ancient dragon-level creatures. What kind of trouble is this?!"

"That's not all." Guy made a stab at the side with an expressionless expression.

"According to my observation, the original route of the Molten Mountain Dragon was not towards the Earth Corridor at all, but rather to a place where it could die peacefully. It was distorted by something or some force. "

"As for the guy who was able to distort the route of an old lava dragon to choose the place of death, we haven't even investigated that thing or the true form of energy."

Shocking news one after another broke out today as if it was worthless.

This left the hunters and Lan in a daze.

Why did he suddenly go from leisurely hunting and investigation activities to rushing to save the entire New World?

Facing the young hunters who were even shocked into a daze, the experienced commander-in-chief restored his calm mental state and expression in a short period of time.

When the Hunter Guild dispatched the first group, they appointed him as the commander-in-chief, which was a huge trust in itself.

And obviously, he is capable enough to bear this kind of trust.

"No matter what, we have to do things one by one. To deal with multiple ancient dragons at once, even in the Old Continent, we need to mobilize the actions of several countries. The investigation team does not have this ability."

The dark-faced and white-haired commander-in-chief spoke in an orderly manner, and this tone quickly infected the young hunters.

"The Molten Dragon's action is imminent, and the damage caused is the most unacceptable, so the target is obvious."

He slammed the table hard and raised his head with blazing eyes.

"I announce! The Molten Dragon interception operation begins now! All personnel activities of the investigation team will be launched for this purpose!"

"We must not let this big guy enter the Leyline Corridor!"

Unlike all armies in the feudal era, the commander-in-chief did not hide this dangerous and difficult combat goal from his subordinates.

Instead, he held a meeting and released all current information to the investigation team.

Let everyone understand their next plan, what difficulties they will face, and why they are fighting against several ancient dragon-level creatures.

The investigation team's reaction was just as he expected.

"Since it is for the ecology of the entire New World, there is no reason not to do our best."

"Although it feels a little wrong to drive the Lava Dragon away from the 'preview' route before its death, since it is a route that has been distorted, let's do it! Correct the distorted biological instincts! This is what we hunters do of!"

No one backed down, even if they were trembling with fear from facing the legendary ancient dragon, no one took a step back in front of the concept of 'protecting the ecology'.

Even if they are technicians, even if they are little old men and little old ladies among academics.

"Not good, not good." Lan En and Wind stood among the crowd. The demon hunter scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.

"It got me fired up, to be honest."

However, the demon hunter said 'something's not good', but there was a slight, excited arc in the corner of his mouth.
