Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Yes, eat."

The leader of the third group held up his pipe and took a puff. “Let’s set aside academic rigor for a moment and take a wild guess.”

According to research, flying dragon species with relatively pure bloodlines, or in other words, relatively primitive bloodlines, such as fire dragons and boom dragons, generally have low resistance to dragon attributes.

A similar situation also occurs with ancient dragon species.

Therefore, there is a saying that there is actually dragon attribute energy in these flying dragon species, but they cannot use it and cannot express it externally. (Long Kelong, correct)

The dragon-type energy accumulated in the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was probably obtained by eating flying dragon species.

But did the Tyrannosaurus mutate as a result? No, even the elderly individual known as the Angry Tyrannosaurus just ate more and thus accumulated more dragon-type energy.

By the way, this set of armor of yours belongs to an individual Wrathful Ghoul? The color of the leather of ordinary Tyrannosaurus is not so dark, and this is obviously the craftsmanship of the leader of the second phase of the group. Has the Raging Tyrannosaurus appeared in the New World? "

"Well, a few months ago." Gordon explained briefly.

"So something like this has happened before, a Dino Tyrannosaurus that came across the sea. It's interesting. Well, let's get back to the topic."

The leader of the third phase group suppressed his curiosity about the angry Terror Tyrannosaurus and returned to the original topic.

“Even individuals like the Tyrannosaurus, which preyed on countless flying dragons like the Raging Tyrannosaurus, cannot mutate by accumulating dragon-type energy.

Then the probability of the Miscarposaurus mutating by preying on the flying dragon is not too high.

What's more, the Tyrannosaurus does not have the strength to crush most flying dragon species like the Dinotyrannosaurus. Before this, we have only observed the record of the Tyrannosaurus preying on the Fengdiaolong.

So what exactly did such a miserable clawed dragon eat to absorb such high-intensity dragon-attribute energy, thereby metamorphosing (correctly) and transforming into a subspecies? "

"Is it possible that it's the dragon-slaying fruit, meow?" Pig Chop raised his paw

"The gastrointestinal structure of Methonychus is incapable of digesting vegetarian food."

The leader of the third-phase regiment moved the hand holding the pipe and continued: "We even considered the possibility of dragon-eating insects, but that kind of insect cannot survive in the Miasma Valley.

After eliminating all possibilities, the remaining answers are often closer to reality.

——The Claw Claw subspecies may have mutated after eating the corpse of an ancient dragon species. "(Non-official, emphasis added, just speculation about the characters in the book.)

"The corpse of an ancient dragon?" Gordon asked confirmingly.

"Um."

The leader of the third group was silent for a few seconds before continuing: "This matter is the core secret of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group. Even at the Hunter Guild and the headquarters of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, only a few senior officials know about it. Please be careful not to take it lightly. diffusion."

Gordon and Ancil nodded in understanding.

“Many people think that the main research direction of the research base is the diverse ecology of the continental coral platform, but that is just a misunderstanding caused by the information released to the outside world.

The real focus of our research lies in the miasma valley beneath the coral platform.

For outside creatures, including humans, the Miasma Valley, especially the core area deep in the Miasma Valley, is a restricted area of ​​life.

Miasma composed of countless microorganisms can kill a person in a short period of time.

Even if we use a special gas mask and continue to take recovery drugs to hold on, we can't really get to the bottom, which has stalled our research for many years.

It wasn't until six or seven years ago that the guild headquarters sent a special protective stone that could completely resist the influence of miasma, and we were able to truly get a glimpse of the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley. "

"Well"

Gordon and others looked strange.

"What's wrong?" The female scholar keenly noticed the changes in the hunters' expressions and asked curiously.

"I just think it's a coincidence." Gordon rubbed his chin and explained, "I dug out the protective stone at Mount Tirion.

At that time, the Tulong village chief of Naguli Village told me that the New World Survey Team needed it to investigate the Miasma Valley, so they replaced the miasma resistance stone with a hero stone.

I still use that hero stone. "

The leader of the third phase team raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle: "It's actually like this. That's really fate."

"That's where we met Ancier's meow too." Pig Chop whispered.

Gordon smiled and added: "And we also encountered Lanlong on the way."

"Haha." Anhil breathed out, "There are some coincidences that are really creepy.

Sorry to interrupt you, please continue. "

The leader of the third phase of the regiment smiled and continued: "We have confirmed the true form of the ancient dragon Val Hazak (Corpse Dragon) deep in the Valley of Miasma.

More than one large, ancient skeleton was also discovered.

They belong to the largest ancient dragon ever discovered - Dara Amadura (Ophiosaurus).

According to comparisons of retrieved specimens, these skeletons are very, very old, perhaps even older than the New World ecosystem itself.

In other words, perhaps it was the nutrients that these corpses fed back to nature after decomposition, nurturing the first life in the New World.

At the same time, we also discovered the bones of more types of powerful beings, which seemed to be a natural cemetery.

The miasma composed of countless microorganisms is like stomach acid, breaking down those powerful lives into the most primitive and basic nutrients and energy.

This is the reason why the Coral Platform is prosperous. Mr. Mecca (a hunter from the Dragon Tribe) further speculated that the Valley of Miasma is the source of the mysterious ‘earth energy’ in the New World. "

"The graveyard of the ancient dragon, the source of earth energy, the origin of life in the New World?" Ancier said to himself.

Gordon didn't care to think so deeply, he asked: "So, you are saying that the emergence of the subspecies of Dionysus is because of the corpses of those ancient dragon species?

It ate the corpse of an ancient dragon. The powerful dragon energy contained in the flesh of the ancient dragon prompted it to evolve? "

"Well, there is a possibility."

The leader of the third phase of the regiment nodded gently, "The Flame King Dragon you are chasing may have entered the cemetery to welcome the end of his life.

Of course, that is only one possibility. It is also possible that it just passed by the Coral Platform and then continued towards the north.

I prefer the former. After all, there has been a surge of energy in the earth's veins recently. If an ancient dragon dies, and the corpse turns into energy and enters the earth's veins, then the surge in the earth's veins can be easily explained. "

An Xil thought for a moment and asked, "So, does this act of voluntarily entering the cemetery have something to do with Gulongdu?"

The leader of the third group looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect that a young human hunter would think so much.

She considered it for a few seconds and replied: "There may be some relationship, but it shouldn't be a direct cause and effect.

The phenomenon of ancient dragon crossing with a ten-year cycle seems to have some kind of "purpose", but this purpose should not be collective death.

During the period other than the ancient dragon crossing, there will also be ancient dragons coming to the New World.

Therefore, ancient dragon crossing can only be said to be a phenomenon of collective migration of ancient dragons, and may not be directly related to the self-burial behavior of elderly ancient dragons and the energy cycle of the New World. "

What the female scholar said is very vague.

Anhil was a little helpless, but he also understood that if the causes and consequences of Gulongdu were understood now, there would be no need to form the next five groups.

Gordon even felt a headache after hearing this.

He tried to sum it up, "In other words, Yanwanglong may have escaped to the Miasma Valley and killed itself, and the Mistyclaw subspecies may have mutated because it swallowed its corpse.

Now that there are no more clues, we can only go deep into the Valley of Miasma and try to find the remains of the Flame King Dragon, right? "

"That's pretty much what it means." The leader of the third phase group nodded slowly.

"Then if it's not found."

The female scholar said in a matter-of-fact tone, "That means that Yanwanglong didn't want to die yet. He just looked at the scenery on the Coral Platform and then went to who knows where."
