Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The news brought back by the hunter team attracted the attention of the senior members of the investigation team, including the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief convened an emergency meeting. The participants this time were not only the backbones of various departments, but also the senior hunters who were currently in the Star Base.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the commander-in-chief got straight to the point.

"The team led by the spearman Dono discovered a very large Broken Dragon while investigating the roaring dragons that appeared in the Molten Mountain Canyon.

After the description, it can be basically determined that it is an extremely rare special individual of Broken Dragon - Critical Broken Dragon."

Hearing this, the hunters had different reactions.

Feng Ying didn't have any special experience. She had never hunted, and had never even seen a Broken Dragon with her own eyes.

She only knew that it was a large beast dragon species with a danger level second only to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The danger level of the ordinary original species was as high as six stars. It was at the top of the ecological chain and had no natural enemies.

Hayata pinched her chin and fell into memories.

The first time she came into contact with a monster like a Broken Dragon was when she was traveling with the brigade and practicing.

She had a brief encounter with it deep in the volcano. At that time, she was no match for the Broken Dragon. After a thrilling and hard battle, she found an opportunity and hurriedly evacuated.

The second time was after arriving in the New World, she cooperated with Gale to hunt one, and that's how Gale got the [Iron Fist] on him.

Although they were already seven-star hunters at that time, and they hunted in pairs, the battle with the Broken Dragon was still not easy.

The power of those explosive slime molds and the fierce fighting style of the Broken Dragon still impressed her.

This is just the original species.

Generally speaking, the danger level of subspecies or special individuals will be one or two levels higher than the original species.

In other words, this so-called "critical Broken Dragon" may even be as threatening as the ancient dragon.

The reaction of the alcohol trio was more obvious, and they looked at each other.

Ted raised his hand, "Well, the Broken Dragon you are talking about, we may have encountered it."

Everyone looked over.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten, Ted told the story again about the Alcohol Team encountering the Broken Dragon mother and son in the Molten Mountain Canyon, the Broken Dragon mother and son discovered the ancient slime mold, the cub was blown to death, the mother beast was seriously injured and dying, and finally survived with difficulty and staggered away.

The leader of the research class unfolded a huge book, "Speaking of which, the guild's research materials on critical Broken Dragons did mention that the appearance of critical Broken Dragons was directly related to special slime molds.

Broken Dragons have a strong fighting spirit and have been pursuing more powerful power all their lives.

The ancient slime mold spores that survived the high temperature and high pressure of the lava, which are hidden deep underground, are the best choice.

Most of the Broken Dragons that obtained the ancient slime mold strains could not survive, just like the cub, who was blown to death.

Only the strongest individuals can survive the initial symbiotic stage.

Even so, the extremely unstable and powerful ancient slime mold will always threaten their lives.

Their shells are constantly blown to pieces, contaminated with the rich spores in the volcanic lava The minerals contained in it are reshaped under high temperature and high pressure.

Just like steel that is constantly forged, it becomes harder and harder.

In order to cope with the powerful impact brought by the ancient slime mold explosion, their bodies will also develop again, and their size will be far beyond that of ordinary individuals.

This is the 'Critical Broken Dragon'. "

The research class leader closed the book and said with a serious expression: "In the guild data, there is only one record of successfully hunting a critical broken dragon.

The elite team composed of four upper hunters paid the price of one person sacrificing and one person being seriously injured and retired, and barely killed it.

If you decide to hunt, please be sure to make the most adequate preparations and the worst plan. "

The commander-in-chief crossed his arms, frowned deeply, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the research class leader and the director of the Ecological Research Institute.

"Do you think it is necessary to hunt the critical dragon?"

The director of the Ecological Research Institute adjusted his thick glasses and said, "The dragon has a violent temper, especially the critical dragon that struggles to survive the repeated explosions of unstable ancient slime mold.

If you decide not to hunt, it is recommended to explore its range of activities, demarcate it as a restricted area, and strictly prohibit our people from approaching, otherwise the probability of being attacked is very high."

The leader of the logistics team scratched his hair and said distressedly, "The dragon's range of activities is very large, so our transportation route to the other side of the Grand Canyon will be interrupted, which will be very troublesome."

Feng Ying raised her hand, "Is it possible to lead that guy to another place? For example, the Dragon Crystal Land or something.

If it has a bad temper, let it fight with the ancient dragon."

"It's a bit difficult." The leader of the research class reminded "In that case, we will not only need to cross mountains and ridges, but also cross the entire Coral Plateau."

"That's right."

The director of the Ecological Research Institute spoke again, "There is one more thing that must be explained in advance.

Based on the clues and traces found so far, it is basically certain that the Ice Curse Dragon will move to the vicinity of the Molten Mountain Canyon next.

Although we don't know why the Ice Curse Dragon, which should live in the extremely cold zone, will come to the hot volcano, but we must be on guard."

Aiden's eyes twitched, "An ancient dragon that freezes everything, and a critical dragon that may be as powerful as an ancient dragon-level creature.

To hunt these two monsters head-on, two fully staffed upper hunter teams are not enough.

Is it possible to provoke them to fight, and we benefit from it?"

Feng Ying nodded repeatedly after hearing this. She had a similar idea before, wanting to lead the critical dragon to the dragon crystal land.

"It seems feasible?" Hayata pinched his chin, "The critical dragon has a violent temper and is keen to challenge strong enemies. It will attack almost all large creatures that enter its sight.

The ancient dragon is also arrogant and does not tolerate provocation.

If the two meet, the probability of a conflict is not low."

The commander-in-chief pondered and nodded, "That's true, but the ancient dragon species has a very high IQ, and it is difficult to lure them into a battle.

At present, it seems that the best way is to continue the investigation of the Ice Curse Dragon, and after fully confirming its location, find a way to lead the critical dragon there and cause them to fight.

The hunters hide nearby and decide whether to intervene later depending on the results."

The hunters exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, make preparations first. Ansir, Gail, Evelyn and Ferdie are confronting the Misty Hazrat in the Miasma Valley, and I'm afraid they can't join this operation.

Az and the sea hunters followed the fishing fleet into the deep sea to ensure the food supply of Xingchen.

The current top hunters of Xingchen are only the Alcohol Team, and Hayata, Fengying, Aiden, a total of six people. As for other hunters."

Hayata raised his hand and said, "Unlike super giant ancient dragons like Molten Mountain Dragon and Dark Lantern Dragon, it is too dangerous to let four or five-star hunters participate in the battle against conventional ancient dragon-level creatures."

The commander-in-chief fell silent again, and finally had to sigh, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Ice Curse Dragon and Critical Shatter Dragon are monsters that are good at special attack methods. Please be prepared to deal with extreme cold and dragon blasting attacks." The director of the Ecological Research Institute reminded on the side.

The commander-in-chief nodded heavily. "The processing house has developed special clothing to deal with extreme cold. As for the means to resist explosions, perhaps we can think of a way to protect the stone? I will instruct the craftsmen to assist you with all their efforts."
