Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

To be honest, after experiencing the horrific explosion just now, even Gordon himself lost confidence in successfully hunting the red dragon.

But they can't give up now.

They still have a chance - the Black Dragon.

In the prophecy of the ancient dragon people, the awakening of the Dragon King will attract the black sun.

Although no one can be sure when it will come, or even whether it will come.

Gordon never thought that one day he would pin his hopes on these illusory prophecies, but now, they have no better choice.

"Feng Ying, can you confirm the location of the red dragon?" Gordon looked at Feng Ying.

Feng Ying took off the dragon skeleton cloth, closed her eyes and felt it carefully for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, it didn't fly far away, but went in the direction of the underground."

"Well." Gordon simply responded, "Let's go."

The hunters who were still able to move called the pterosaurs, launched the grappling hook into the air, and started chasing.

Looking at the wounded all over the ground and the dead companion, Ai Bo seemed a little confused, ". Should we really continue?"

The professor's face was frighteningly gloomy, "The red dragon is very good at hiding its breath. Even the ancient dragons can hardly detect its existence when it hides.

The reason why Gordon and the others continued to chase was to not give the red dragon a chance to escape from the battle and hide its breath.

Only in this way can the black dragon find it by following the breath released in the battle."

"But."

"There is nothing to but. We have offended the red dragon. If we can't kill it, there will be endless troubles, and the ancient dragon turmoil in the old continent will never stop.

You guys, help take care of the wounded, and I will follow you alone for the next action."

The hunters left the cenote-like cave where they were originally, flew along the lifeless rift for a long time, and then descended at Feng Ying's gesture.

Feng Ying, who fell to the ground, took a few quick steps and lay down beside a crack at the end of the canyon.

Her movements were a bit funny, but no one was in the mood to laugh at this time.

Feng Ying was the same, and her expression was even more serious than Gordon and the others.

After closing her eyes and carefully feeling the formation, she said: "It should have gone down from here, to a very deep place.

The breath has become vague, maybe it is deliberately restraining."

"Another 'grain reserve warehouse'?" An Xier frowned, "It's hard to understand, I thought it would leave this canyon and go further south."

"It's good news that it didn't go to the New World."

Gordon looked to the south and continued: "If it really goes to the convergence place, I'm afraid there is no power in the world that can kill it."

At this time, the professor who came after the hunters also landed beside them.

After listening to Feng Ying's description of her feelings, the professor's eyebrows trembled, "Well, I'm not surprised.

The 'drop' just now exhausted the energy stored in its body. Compared with the distant convergence place of the earth veins, this place is at least close enough.

Well. From this point of view, it is indeed good news."

The professor seemed to have figured something out, and his expression became brighter.

"What do you mean?" Julius asked.

"A simple analysis of the Red Dragon's behavior shows that even if the energy in its body is exhausted, ordinary large monsters, even ancient dragons, will never be its opponents.

Even if the Red Dragon's flying speed is not fast, it will only take a few hours.

Then why doesn't it go directly to the gathering place? Why does it stay in this barren and quiet valley?"

The professor knew that the hunters were not in the mood to think, so he didn't wait for their answer and continued: "The most likely possibility is that it sensed danger.

It is worried that it will be attacked on the way to the more distant and richer earth vein energy nodes.

So Only then will it look for a place nearby to absorb energy.

As for the existence that can make it feel threatened, it can only be."

"The Black Dragon."

Gordon pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a somewhat ugly smile, "The Black Dragon is not far away, right?

That is indeed good news."

Feng Ying, who was trying to sense, suddenly raised her head, "Its breath is further weakened!"

"Is it ready to hide?" Gordon took a deep breath, "We paid such a big price, we can't let it get away like this, let's chase it."

"Understood!" The hunters called the pterosaur to take off again.

This crack is deep and narrow.

If it weren't for Feng Ying and a compass sensing the position of the red dragon, they would never have thought that a giant dragon with a body length of 50 to 60 meters would get into such a narrow place.

As they passed through the gap, the space around them suddenly became clear.

A huge underground cave flashing with a faint green light appeared in their sight.

Surprisingly, the area of ​​this underground cave is even larger than the previous two. The open area in front of us alone is tens of thousands of square meters, just like a large square.

The ground is hard and flat, which is convenient for movement, but it is a bit stuffy, and there is a pungent smell in the air, which makes people frown.

"Is this miasma?" Aiden sniffed.

"No, it's not miasma." The professor adjusted the multi-functional eyepiece and scanned the surroundings.

"There is some kind of methane-like substance underground here, and some gas vents are still burning, which keeps the temperature in the cave at a higher level.

That's also how the green light that illuminates this place comes from."

"What a strange place"

The hunters moved forward cautiously in the dim green firelight.

"Look! What is that?!" Feng Ying pointed to some objects wrapped in silk cocoons on the top of the cave in the distance, which were obviously not rocks.

Everyone looked up.

"It seems to be... eggs." The professor's voice was a little hoarse.

There is only one kind of creature that uses the Nether Valley as its nest, and there is no need to guess who the mother of these eggs is.

"No wonder... We thought that this red dragon was hiding its existence while absorbing a large amount of earth vein energy for its own growth.

So it is for breeding offspring?

This is not a 'grain storage warehouse', but a 'nursery' for red dragons."

The hunters continued to move forward as the professor muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Anxier, who had the best eyesight, raised his fist and signaled everyone to be alert.

The hunters looked in the direction indicated by Anxier and finally found the figure of the red dragon.

It was lying on its back next to a gas outlet where methane was gushing, with its eyes closed and sleeping. With its breath restrained, it looked like a dead thing without life.

The hunters' approaching footsteps woke it up.

The red dragon stood up with its wings flapping, and turned to look over here.

When its eyes fell on the hunters, a hint of human surprise flashed in its golden pupils.

"Clang——"

The hunters drew their weapons one after another.

At this time, any harsh words would be redundant. The few remaining hunters charged at the forbidden dragon that was beyond human power.

It seemed to realize that it would be difficult to hide if it didn't get rid of the guys in front of it.

It might also be to protect the unhatched egg cocoons.

The red dragon spread its wings, stood up, and a terrifying roar resounded through the underground cave.

"Gaaoaoao——!!!"

The ground was lit up.

Under its control, the energy retained in this land was continuously injected into its body.

The energy flowed between the blood vessels and scales, and finally turned into a silver flame, burning from the pupils.

On the dark red dragon wings, a silver light as bright as stars also appeared.
