Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"What happened?" The King of the Strange Face Clan was a little confused as to why these humans suddenly became nervous.

Ai Bo quickly explained to it the reaction of the guide insect and the current situation.

Feng Ying glanced at Jean, "Do you still have enough strength?"

"Nonsense." Jean tightened the straps of his armor, "It's just to drive away a grilled fish. How much effort can it take?"

Feng Ying said "Yes" and turned to the King of the Qimian Tribe and said: "Then a large army will come and it will not be good if they hit the ancient dragon and block the road. We have to confirm the situation.

You don't have to keep up, just set a meeting place. "

The King of the Strange Face Clan was silent for a moment and nodded.

The target is an ancient dragon species. If you are not careful, the tribesmen may suffer serious casualties. Even if it doesn't mind following up to help, as a king, it must also consider the tribesmen.

It pointed to a cave on the map, "The cave here is relatively low, and the entrance is very small. You have to lie down and crawl to pass. Large monsters cannot enter."

When you retreat, you can go here. It is safer. We will be waiting for you there. "

Out of caution, Ai Bo confirmed two safe routes for retreat with the King of the Strange Face Tribe and recorded them on the map.

"Partner, how about you follow the Qimian clan?" Feng Ying said to Ai Bo tentatively.

Ai Bo's mouth bulged when he heard this, "No! This is not a simple combat mission. You need me to analyze the ancient dragon's behavior and plan an escape route!"

Feng Ying had a toothache. Her partner was usually easy to talk to, but once he became stubborn, he was really difficult to deal with.

"Let Ai Bo go with us." Aiden, who had completed the crossbow shell inspection, said with a smile, "You have experienced quite a few things together.

Besides, isn’t there still Amber here? In a dangerous situation, just let her ride Amber and retreat first. "

"Okay, but you have to be careful. Don't leave Amber. Don't keep writing and drawing on her head, getting closer and closer."

"As you command!"

Feng Ying looked at the other two fellow hunters and shook her head when she saw that they were also ready.

"Let's go! Let's go see what mischief that steel dragon is doing here!"

The hunters formed a relatively compact formation and moved forward under the guidance of the guide insects.

As the light of the guide insects flying in mid-air became brighter and brighter, they gradually relaxed and slowed down their pace.

Feng Ying, who was walking at the front of the team and responsible for clearing the way, made a fist gesture in front of a corridor entrance. The editors and hunters who followed behind stopped one after another.

Looking back at her companions, without her verbal reminder, several of them took out their invisibility clothes, shook them off and put them on their bodies.

Step by step, they moved forward slowly and quietly entered the corridor.

This corridor was not long, only about twenty meters. When they came to the other end of the corridor, Feng Ying gestured again to make everyone stop.

She leaned her back against the rock wall, nodded and looked outside.

This is an extremely wide underground cave, even wider than the cave where they first encountered the Rock Thief Dragon.

About half of the cave was covered by a boiling lava lake. The steaming heat wave distorted the light in the cave, making it difficult to see clearly.

And right on the bank of the lava lake, a silver and elegant figure was walking here.

It seems that he is admiring the lava lake scenery, and he seems to be looking for something.

Feng Ying silently glanced at it from the corner of her eyes, not even daring to stare at it, lest the other party, who was extremely sensitive, notice her sight.

After a moment of observation, she retracted and lowered her voice to her companions: "It's the Steel Dragon. He seems to be walking. He might be looking for something."

"Steel Dragon, walking in the lava cave deep underground?" Aiden looked puzzled.

This subverted his understanding of creatures like steel dragons.

Steel dragons that are good at flying should live in open areas. What are you doing in an underground lava cave? etc.

Aiden, who thought of another possibility, whispered: "The steel dragon will forage for high-quality minerals and absorb metal substances to build its steel armor.

Some rare ores buried deep underground will wash up along with the lava. Is it possible that they are looking for ores to eat? "

"It's possible." Feng Ying nodded.

They had previously speculated that the Steel Dragon would run to areas with dense crystals, also because they considered the Steel Dragon's habit of eating minerals.

"Is there another reason why magma is used to remove parasites and rust stains on steel armor?" Jean also asked.

This guess seemed reasonable, but in fact it was quite outrageous. Ai Bo looked at him helplessly, "What kind of parasite can fall on a steel dragon?

As for using magma to remove rust stains, it is mentioned in the information that Steel Dragon has poor resistance to flames. Its steel armor conducts heat very well. More importantly, high temperature will destroy the magnetic field and interfere with its control of wind. "

"Okay." Gene was silent for two seconds to hide his embarrassment, "What do we say now? Go out and say hello to it?"

"Throw you into the lava lake!" Feng Ying glared at him, "We will monitor it here for a while, maybe half an hour. If it doesn't do anything else, we will retreat.

Later, when the large army passed by this area, they sent out scouts to confirm the location of the steel dragon in advance. Just be careful to avoid it. "

The four people, two cats and one dog huddled in the corridor and observed carefully.

Aiden is very cautious. For him, monsters like the Steel Dragon have a special meaning. Ai Bo is very excited, sketching quickly, recording the unusual ecology of the Steel Dragon. Jean, who is a pure martial artist, sits cross-legged with a smile on his face. boring.

"It's moving!" Feng Ying exclaimed in a low voice.

The steel dragon walking by the lava lake suddenly raised its body, spread its wings, and then flapped violently.

In just a few seconds, the fierce wind formed a tornado column nearly 100 meters high. Under the control of the steel dragon, it swept towards the lava lake.

The lava and fire waves were swept into the air by the strong wind, turning into a terrifying flame tornado, causing the magma in the lava lake to billow like waves in a storm.

"Mom, is it so scary?" Feng Ying stared, "What is this guy doing? Is he stirring up the lava?"

While drawing at full speed, Ai Bo pulled down the telescope above his head and observed everything happening on the lava lake.

"It is rolling out the semi-molten metal minerals in the magma lake! Roll it to the shore and wait for it to cool down before eating it?!" Ai Bo, who observed more details through the telescope, exclaimed.

"Is there such an operation?" Aiden, who thought he knew the steel dragon quite well, couldn't help but feel surprised.

"So, Steel Dragon is indeed good at using wind as a tool." Gene pinched his chin.

"I heard from the village chief's mother-in-law that the steel dragon on the Snow Mountain would sometimes set off strong winds and roll away the snow and ice on the mountain, exposing the mineral veins and clusters for easy eating.

Then it rolled up and turned into a big blizzard that swept across the entire mountain range."

"It's really going to cause trouble for people." Feng Ying tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Rumble--" The churning lava waves, rolled by the fire storm, kept hitting the lakeside, making bursts of ear-splitting roars.

But at this moment, a furious roar suppressed the sound of the wind and calmed the waves of fire, coming from the depths of the cave that led to an unknown place.

The gorgeous and vigorous blue giant shadow dispersed the blazing tornado that was enough to melt steel.

It crashed down in front of the steel dragon.

Ps. Everyone should be able to guess the title of the next chapter.
