Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The next day, Ancil took the initiative to find Admiral Galeas.

The Admiral didn't seem surprised by his visit.

Before he could explain his purpose, the admiral lowered his head and said, "After reading the gunnery team's report, Lucika has caused trouble to you. I'm sorry."

Anhil stepped aside and said, "You're welcome. It won't cause any trouble. It's just a bit of a conflict in fighting style."

The two did not continue discussing this topic. Lucika's problem was not so much a character problem as a split personality, which could not be corrected.

After ignoring the matter, Anhil took the initiative to explain his purpose: "After hunting the Velociraptor, I collected a few live rodents from the corpse as specimens, and discovered some interesting things.

Presumably the kingdom's scholars will study them more deeply, and I wonder if they can share the information.

Of course, it would be even better if there is an opportunity for face-to-face communication. "

Admiral Gareas was slightly surprised.

He had no intention of concealing information, but most, or even the vast majority of hunters, didn't pay too much attention to these details.

They generally only care about two things, what the target is, and information about that kind of monster.

As for the rodents, it's more of a "backstory" to them.

Monsters parasitized by rodents will become stronger. Be careful not to be bitten by rodents, otherwise they will be infected with viruses.

Apart from this, they seemed too lazy to listen to more complicated matters.

Especially the hunters of Yanhuo Village, headed by Lie Yan, almost all had this attitude, which made him have some inertial thinking. In the previous meeting, there was no detailed explanation of the rodent situation.

"It's a very reasonable request, but we were negligent." Admiral Gareas apologized again and called the waiter, "Go and ask Researcher Bahari to come over."

Later, he smiled and explained to Anhir: “Bahari is the researcher leading the investigation of Elgad.

In terms of research, he is first-rate, but his personality may be a bit eccentric. When it comes to professional issues, he often ignores things around him, so please don't worry about it. "

A knowing smile appeared on Anhil's face, "I can roughly guess what kind of weirdness you are talking about.

Believe me, we have met many scholars with similar personalities. "

"Hahaha, was it when you were in the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team? It seems that you also suffered a lot at that time."

The two chatted with each other for a while, and then the waiter came in and reported, "Admiral, Mr. Bahari is here."

Before Garreas could say anything, a young man from the dragon tribe with brown skin and dreadlocks hurried in.

"Admiral? What do you want from me? I'll handle it over there."

"This is Mr. Ancil." Garreas interrupted him and introduced Ancil: "The eight-star hunter who came from East Doruma to support us.

Mr. Ancil, this is the Bahari researcher I just told you about. "

Although the young researcher named Bahari is obsessed with research, he is not a person with low emotional intelligence.

For the time being, he suppressed the urge to go back and continue some research activities and said hello to Ancil.

Anhil knew that talking to these people didn’t require too much politeness, so he got straight to the point: “I obtained several live rodent samples from the rodent-infected Velociraptor.

After a simple test, it was found that they are quite resistant to high temperature, electric shock, and toxins. It seems that only low temperature is their weakness? "

Faced with Ansir's question, Bahari was obviously startled, and then said with a solemn expression: "Rodents may seem weak, but they are actually very dangerous.

Those living samples”

"Don't worry, everything has been confirmed to be destroyed."

Bahari breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, of course we have also conducted research on the weaknesses of rodents.

As you said, their physical tolerance is very poor. Oh, it means the body is very fragile.

However, the attribute resistance in all aspects is very exaggerated, not only high temperature, electric shock, toxins, acid rot, hypnotic substances, etc., are almost ineffective against them.

Also, it needs to be clear that low temperatures cannot kill them, but only temporarily inactivate them, just like hibernation. "

Hearing this, Ancier nodded with satisfaction, "In other words, to kill them, pure physical damage is most appropriate, right?"

"That's right." After confirmation, Bahari asked with some confusion: "Are you planning to end this disaster from the perspective of eliminating rodents?

With all due respect, we have had such a plan, but unfortunately after investigation, we found that it could not be implemented.

Rodents will only gather when parasitizing monsters, and they will burrow into monsters and only escape after the monster dies.

It is unrealistic to directly eliminate the rodents and insects by bypassing the monsters. "

"I see." Anhil nodded, "Then let's change our way of thinking. What kind of monster can best attract rodents to parasitize?"

"A powerful monster." Bahari replied without hesitation: "After research, we have confirmed that the essence of rodent parasitism is to first inject viruses into the host.

This will cause the host to become violent, gaining greater power at the cost of burning life.

In this process, the rodents continue to absorb the life energy of the host to complete their growth and reproduction.

The more powerful the monster, the more powerful its life energy is, so..."

"So the rodent's favorite host is the ancient dragon species, right?"

"That's right!" Bahari snapped his fingers in a very unscholarly manner, "But at the same time, the ancient dragon species is not easy to mess with.

They will consciously resist and kill rodents in their bodies.

Most of the rodents will die, and a few will leave after absorbing enough life energy to grow into enlarged individuals. The ancient dragons that have been injected with a large amount of viruses will also gain more power.

This is what is called ‘weird overcoming’. "

"So, among the ancient dragon species, do they have any tendencies?" Ancier asked another question.

"What are the tendencies among the ancient dragon species?" Bahari shook his dreadlocks. "We haven't calculated this yet. After all, the ancient dragon species are not ordinary monsters that can be seen everywhere. There are too few data samples."

"Well," An Xil pondered, "Feng Ying told me that the rodent's original host was the Abyssal Dragon.

The number of rodents on Jue Yinlong's body far exceeds that of other types of ancient dragons.

There is only one thing in common between these two ancient dragons - they are both species that do not rely on attribute energy, but their bodies are extremely powerful. "

After reacting, Bahari grabbed the conversation with some excitement, "Because the body is extremely powerful, the life energy will be stronger, so it will attract more rodents to parasitize!

At present, the Abyssal Dragon has been hunted, and most of the Jueyin Dragons have also been parasitized by rodents. Over the long years, they have absorbed too much life energy and become weak, so they are eliminated by the hunters.

If you think about it from this perspective, the host that is most attractive to rodents should be..."

"Original Lord Silver Dragon."

Admiral Gareas, who had not participated in the conversation before, said solemnly: "In other words, the original Jueyinlong's 'annihilation sanction' is not just to maintain the balance of nature and avenge his fellow tribesmen.

It's for self-protection.

It is actually the passive one. If we don't work hard to kill the rodents, sooner or later it will become parasitized and 'fall'. "

“It should be like this”

Ancil pondered and said: "It seems that we and the 'Silver Knight' may become allies."

Ps.

The setting of rodents being intolerant to low temperatures was not specifically mentioned by the official, but it was based on the fact that the Ice Dragon had no weird ability to overcome it.

Of course, the greater possibility is that the Ice Dragon is a new monster, so the officials are too lazy to create another weird thing to overcome——
