Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

At the edge of the ground that was about to collapse, Feng Ying temporarily stopped.

The sight of the earth collapsing in front of her, revealing the underground space, gave her a familiar feeling.

"Do you all like to hide underground?" Feng Ying said to herself in a weird tone.

The cracks spread to her feet, and a large piece of rock cracked, falling downwards with her.

Feng Ying didn't look panicked.

Just like a bird that can fly is not afraid of heights, Feng Ying, who is confident enough not to fall to death, does not care about such a fall.

She jumped between the falling rock slabs to slow down herself. This kind of flexible posture was not something that everyone could achieve, especially a person with Gordon Tedder's size.

They are more likely to fall straight down...

Just by kicking on those falling rocks, it is impossible to reduce the falling speed to a safe enough range.

Therefore, at the moment when she was about to land, Feng Ying released the flying insect to release her force to land smoothly.

The yellow sand in the sky obscured her sight, so she raised her head and glanced above.

The rock shell that they had previously regarded as the ground, about thirty meters away from here, had completely collapsed.

If it weren't for the presence of the large rock slabs and gravel around, there would be almost no trace of the "ground" that once existed on it.

So this is the real ground in the core area of ​​the Origin Island, and there is just a "cover" added to it?

Feng Ying was guessing when a strong sense of threat suddenly came over her.

Feng Ying released the flying insects without thinking, and used the pull of the insect threads to dodge sideways.

At the same time, a giant hand made of rock poked out from the ground, tightened its grip, and just barely grasped her in, crushing her into a pulp.

"**What is this?!" Feng Ying couldn't help but exclaimed.

This half-outcropped rock palm is nearly twenty meters wide, with four fingers clearly visible, each of which looks like a towering rock pillar.

The shape and structure of the rock palm are quite similar to humans and certain tooth beast species.

If the monster hidden deep in the ground is really similar in shape to a toothed beast like a golden lion, then how big should it be?

One hundred meters? Two hundred meters? ? !

At this moment, Feng Ying had the urge to directly send an emergency signal to warn her companions to retreat immediately.

What kind of "great existence" is this? Isn't it something similar in size to the Lava Mountain Dragon? !

Another rock palm poked out from the ground, with two rock palms holding each other's backs, as if they were about to tear the earth apart.

Feng Ying's heart became even colder.

His fingers were about to reach for the flare. The mysterious existence hidden underground finally showed its true form in the yellow sand in the sky.

It was a giant ancient dragon made entirely of rocks and minerals.

Bloated, primitive, and nearly forty meters long, it looks like a moving mountain.

However, perhaps because of her over-prepared psychological preparation, Feng Ying was mentally prepared to face a two-hundred-meter-tall giant, and felt that this thing was quite small and exquisite...

The parts she misunderstood as hands were actually the monster's wings, and the stone pillars shaped like fingers should be part of the wing bones.

However, there is no wing membrane at all between these wing bones, and the body that seems to be made entirely of rock obviously does not have the ability to float like Fuyuesaurus.

In other words, it is almost impossible for this monster to have the ability to fly.

So what is the significance of the existence of Longyi?

You must know that the evolution of ancient dragon species has tended to be complete.

Just like Laoshansaurus, its wings have completely degraded and disappeared, while Laoshansaurus, which is even more exaggerated, has evolved its wing limbs into brackets to support the volcano on its back to balance its terrifying weight of 10,000 tons.

So are the wings of the "stone dragon" in front of me completely useless?

Not too possible.

Judging from the way this guy emerged from the ground, the pair of stone wings could at least dig soil like a shovel, but she always felt that things would not be that simple.

After a few short seconds of confrontation, the mysterious stone dragon let out a muffled roar that sounded like the roar of the earth.

“Boom boom boom boom—!”

It supported the stone wings on the ground, and the next second, a strange phenomenon happened.

In the buzzing sound with a frequency that exceeded the limit of human hearing, the air around the stone wings became blurred, and the sand and dust floating in the air condensed into patterns similar to water waves.

The originally solid rocky ground suddenly turned into fine quicksand.

Feng Ying, who almost fell in, quickly retreated.

"Is this...a shock?!"

The area transformed into quicksand continued to expand, and the rock slabs and boulders that had previously collapsed were also swallowed up by the quicksand in an instant.

Wait until the shaking subsides and the dust settles.

The quicksand-turned ground actually condensed into solid and flat rock ground again, and the water-wave-like patterns on it were familiar.

The ground seen during the previous investigation, as well as the patterns of dust agglomeration during the vibration, were all like this.

What an amazing ability.

Feng Ying pulled out her sword and set up a large shield.

The stone dragon in front of me was bloated and slow in movement, but its vibrating ability to turn rocks into gravel in the blink of an eye was terrifying.

Due to the change in terrain, it may take some time for others to arrive.

Before that, it was her mission to find out as much as possible the abilities and weaknesses of the mysterious ancient dragon.

Feng Ying held the hilt of the sword tightly and took a deep breath, "Let's go!"

One person, one cat and one dog rushed out at the same time.

The fang hound's sprint speed is much faster than the hunter. Amber came to the mysterious ancient dragon first, holding the sickle in her mouth, and pounced on the mysterious ancient dragon's face without fear.

The mushroom riding on its back took advantage of the situation and jumped up to the mysterious ancient dragon's head, and then climbed up the latter's back like climbing a mountain.

It wanted to try to dig something down!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the hunting partners distracting the mysterious ancient dragon, Feng Ying had already approached the side of the mysterious ancient dragon's neck.

Through observation, she found that this mysterious ancient dragon seemed to be made entirely of rocks, but those rocks should only be attached to the body.

The reason is also very simple. The texture of the rocks in different parts of the mysterious ancient dragon's body is not the same. There are translucent quartz, basalt common in volcanic areas, and mineral rocks rich in metal minerals, and so on.

This patchwork body structure is not reasonable for a creature. If those rocks are its shells, they should be more uniform like rock dragons or armored dragons.

At the same time, she also noticed that at the bottom of these various types of minerals, there was a kind of gray-white mud-like substance.

Considering that it was drilled out from the ground.

Those minerals that were obviously from different regions and environments were probably stuck by the gray-white clay, layer by layer, and finally formed the current appearance.

If this is true, attacking those rocks is meaningless.

So she aimed at the position below the neck of the mysterious ancient dragon, near the throat.

Maybe to facilitate movement, there are no large rocks sticking here. If you can break through the thick and tough gray-white clay protection, you may be able to hurt the body of the mysterious ancient dragon.

"Hah!"

After a short period of accumulation, Feng Ying slashed with all her strength.

The mysterious ancient dragon's movements were very slow, and the reaction speed did not seem to be very fast. This sword cut very hard.

At a close distance, she was able to see more clearly.

These gray-white clay-like substances are actually a mixture of some kind of mucus and fine sand.

Not only can they stick to the giant rocks and act as "connectors", but they can also effectively dissolve the power of various slashing impacts.

However, under the effect of the frost and low temperature attached to [Imperial Gold Shield Axe·Ice], these mucus seemed to lose their stickiness and become brittle.

The blade felt much easier than she imagined.

"Hmm?"

Feng Ying narrowed her eyes in surprise. She temporarily put away the Imperial Gold Shield Axe, pulled out the stripping knife with her backhand, and cut the gray-white clay.

Even if the blade did not go deep, she could clearly feel the sluggish feeling of the blade being stuck by the mucus, as if she was cutting a large piece of mud.

"Sure enough!" Feng Ying smiled excitedly.

"Your weakness is ice!"

Ps. In the official setting, the body of the younger brother dragon will secrete a kind of mucus, which sticks the rocks to the body to form a hard protection.

However, this should not be an intentional self-protection behavior. After all, in theory, it has no natural enemies that need to be guarded against (Heimei is an exception).
