Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Oh - oh -"

In the temporary first-class hut, the master held Muti and rocked him gently.

The old gentleman unexpectedly knew how to coax the child. The little guy had already fallen asleep, but he still refused to put the child down and hummed a tuneless lullaby.

Gordon and Julius looked at each other.

"Master, he shouldn't have any descendants, right?" Gordon's voice was very low.

Julius gave him a strange look, "Do you still need to ask? It's not like you don't know that Master has never married and had children."

"But the old man's movements of holding and coaxing the child are surprisingly skillful." Gordon pinched his chin, "I couldn't coax her to sleep so quickly."

Julius was silent for several seconds, then turned his head and said close to Gordon's ear: "Before coming to the New World, Master specifically asked someone for advice in this area."

"Huh? Just for Muti?"

"What if?" A smile appeared on Julius' always tense lips, "Master treats you as his own son.

When he received your letter last year and heard that Muti was born, he made serious plans to come to the New World to visit in person.

It's a pity that there are other important things that I can't get away from. Master had been lost for a long time at that time.

This time Master took the initiative to ask to come over. It is difficult to say that there was no reason for this. "

Gordon opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Perhaps, I should write more letters to Master and send some photos.

"But I really want to thank you." Julius suddenly said without any clue.

"Huh?" Gordon, who was immersed in self-blame and melancholy, didn't react.

Julius's face, which seemed to have a frozen expression, showed a trace of helplessness and joy, "It's nothing special, don't worry about it."

"Ahem."

Amidst the coughing that he tried to suppress, Master Xiang hugged Muti and walked over slowly.

He put the sleeping Muti into Julius's arms.

Julius, who had never held a child before, hurriedly took it. The metal arm armor made him uncomfortable. Muti squirmed and was about to wake up.

The master quickly hugged her back, opened his squinted eyes a little, glanced at Julius, and left.

Julius:"."

"Master, what does he mean? Ah, I kind of understand." Gordon grinned and hooked Julius's shoulders with a smile.

"Senior brother, what's going on with you and Nadia after all these years?"

Julius' face was stern, "We are partners."

Gordon curled his lips, "No wonder Master doesn't give you a good look. Forget it, you can take care of your own affairs."

Julius rubbed his forehead with a headache and changed the subject, "In the past few days, hurry up and prepare.

The investigation operation targeting the northeastern sea of ​​the New World is about to begin. The specific order will be issued tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

I always have some ominous premonitions, and I always feel that this investigation will not be easy. "

"Does this still need a premonition?" Gordon crossed his arms, "Whether it's the warning from the ancient dragon people, or the distant sense of threat when confronting the Mingbo Dragon.

It is almost certain that there is something entrenched in the northeastern sea. It depends on how far the guild leaders and the commander-in-chief want to investigate.

What, is there any news that can be revealed in advance? "

Julius frowned, "In principle, the content discussed in that meeting is confidential information that is strictly prohibited from being disclosed.

As a nine-star hunter, you are qualified and should attend the meeting together, but why did you run away at that time? "

"Ah? Which time?"

"It was the day we first arrived at the Star Stronghold."

Hearing this, Gordon wiped his nose with a little embarrassment, "That time, I thought we just met, shook hands, and said some polite words to each other that day. Did it turn out that there was something important?"

"You're such a bad guy"

Julius shook his head helplessly, "About this matter, the commander of the investigation team should tell you when the mission is officially completed.

It’s okay to tell you the details in advance, but remember, it is strictly prohibited to leak it, otherwise it may cause unnecessary panic. "

Seeing Julius's serious attitude, Gordon straightened his face and said, "You say it."

Julius didn't have the habit of being a show-off, so he went straight to the point and continued:

"The Great Elder sent us here in a hurry, and also specially arranged for the professor from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau to send us information related to the 'taboo', not just because of the ancient dragon man's warning.

About a month ago, a few days before the letter from the investigation team was delivered, the Gulong Observation Bureau sent an urgent report.

The ancient dragons scattered across the Old Continent began to move around almost at the same time. "

"An ancient dragon across the entire continent?!"

"Well, the whole continent." Julius nodded his chin and continued:

"Scholars analyzed and compared the behavior of the ancient dragons in this unusual event and found that it was very similar to the ancient dragon crossing, except that it was larger in scope and more active.

Facts have proved that the Gulongdu phenomenon that had stabilized has erupted again, and this time the scale is unprecedented. "

"Something's wrong." Gordon frowned, "The cause of the outbreak of the Ancient Dragon Crossing has been clearly investigated. The Dark Lantern Dragon releases special hormones, attracting the Ancient Dragons to the New World, leading to their final death.

And we have actually killed the Dark Lantern Dragon. Even the corpse has been completely decomposed under the dissection of scholars. There is no possibility of resurrection.

Is there another Dark Lantern Dragon in the New World? "

"It could be...worse."

"What do you mean?" Gordon asked.

"The Dark Lantern Dragon is a larva. This conclusion can be confirmed from the behavior of breaking out of the cocoon and the results of the autopsy report.

If the hormones released by the larvae can trigger the ancient dragon crossing.

So can we think that the person responsible for this unprecedented scale of the ancient dragon crossing may be a mature individual with stronger abilities in all aspects? "

"Adult Dark Lantern Dragon?!" Gordon was stunned.

He had never dared to think about this before.

When they first discovered the existence of the Dark Lantern Dragon, everyone had one idea, that is, they must not let this "giant baby" escape. If it was given a chance to grow and mature, it might be able to destroy the world.

After successfully hunting the Dark Lantern Dragon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had saved this land and even this world.

Now tell them, there are adult individuals in the New World? !

"King of Dragons" Gordon suddenly recalled the motto of the ancient dragon people, "Could the 'king' mentioned by the ancient dragon people refer to the adult Dark Lantern Dragon?

The young ones have the strength to crush most ancient dragon species, so it doesn’t seem surprising that the adults have become ‘taboo’.”

"The professor came up with a conclusion similar to yours."

Julius looked at Gordon and continued: "In the ancient books and information collected by the guild, there is an existence called the 'King of the Ancestors', but it is unlikely that that person will come to the New World to cause trouble.

Therefore, the guild leaders believe that the ‘Dragon King’ of the New World should be another unknown ‘taboo’.

Creatures that can be named "taboo" are all incredibly powerful beings. Ordinary ancient dragons appear fragile and small in front of them.

Such creatures must be extremely rare. Even in the high-energy environment of the New World, it is unlikely to support multiple individuals.

Therefore, triggering a new round of ancient dragon crossing, the speculation that the creature suspected to be an adult dark lamp dragon is the so-called 'King of Dragons' has been recognized by most senior officials.

But this is just speculation after all, and the truth can only be..."

"It can only be discovered by ourselves."

Ps.

It feels like the plots about taboo heads in the world are quite random.

The leader of the group and the hunter of the dragon tribe wandered to the Valley of the Netherland, ah! It's the adult red dragon of the Dark Lantern Dragon!

——Blue Star! Go away now!

The leader of the third phase team suddenly came over and said that the balloon had found something amazing, it seemed to be my husband!

——Blue Star! Let's go!

The general came from the old continent, and Shulet's taboo awakened!

——Blue Star! Go away now!

In terms of supporting settings and plot, Zha Zhahui is much more complete (face covering)
