Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Directly east of Jiangbo Village, deep in the Tros Forest, there is a basin covering a huge area.

The wind from the East China Sea brings abundant water vapor to this land. The lower latitudes prevent cold winter in this area. In the basin with a relatively closed climate environment, it is as warm as spring all year round.

The extremely superior natural environment makes this basin a paradise for countless dense forest creatures.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, here you can find almost any kind of creature that may appear in the Tros jungle.

At the same time, the abundant resources also gave birth to countless powerful monsters.

They arrived at the camp near the basin by airship yesterday. In less than a day of searching, Yuna and others had already discovered several monsters that were rarely seen in other areas.

For example, this rare species of sleeping bird is covered in dazzling silver feathers.

"Wow, that means the investigation captain and the others don't know. Otherwise, why wouldn't they bring the dragon consciousness ship over and study this silver sleeping bird for days and nights?" Yuna, who was lurking in the dark, clicked her tongue in surprise.

Lan, the light crossbowman next to her, chuckled and said, "The feathers of the Silver Sleeping Bird are so valuable. Why don't we just throw them away, just to collect research materials for the captain?"

Yuna and the old hunter Ska looked at each other with trashy looks.

Yuna even snorted coldly: "Do you believe that the captain will be furious and personally send you to the guild and hand you over to An Ye to deal with it?"

Lan raised his hands, "I know, I just made a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Why are you so serious?"

"Don't joke around." Skardu, who also has a lively personality, warned with a serious look.

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking nonsense." Lan spread his hands, "Is it okay if I take a few photos?"

"Remember to cover the flash. Sleeping birds are timid and easily frightened. Don't step on the eggs in the nest." Ska reminded again.

"Yes, yes, yes." Lan took out the camera, took a few snapshots, then took out the map and marked the coordinates here.

Some of the things I said before were joking, and some of them were not.

When the biologists at Ryuryakuin learned that there was a rare species of sleeping bird living here, or one that had just laid eggs, they all rushed over like crazy.

Also, if he really poached this extremely rare silver-sleeping bird here, the investigation team leader would really turn him away into the dark night.

Seeing that Lan had taken the photo, Yuna clicked on the map in her hand and said, "Okay, let's continue to the next grid area to investigate."

The three of them quietly walked away from the nest of the Silver Sleeper Bird, and rested briefly under the roots of a giant tree protruding from the ground.

Scar tore open a piece of food packaging and suddenly said: "To be honest, there is something wrong with this place.

Although it is a bit far away from Grombaum, we have been here several times over the years, and we feel that this basin is rich in resources.

However, it is not necessarily rich to this extent.

How much land have we investigated? We have already seen four large monsters. Under normal circumstances, these places can barely serve as the territory of one large monster."

"You mean, the biological density in this place is higher than before?" Lan's expression became a little more serious.

"Well, it may be much higher." Ska nodded, "And although it is the breeding season now, the breeding rate is not too high.

The female fire dragon we saw yesterday was with cubs, the big wild boar king we met this morning was with cubs, and the silver sleeper just now also laid several eggs at once."

"It is true that they are all giving birth to children." Yuna muttered, "But when there is abundant food, it is also the instinct of living things to reproduce in large numbers, right?"

"Yes, but it's hard to tell the cause and effect." Lan pondered, "Large monsters are born, and small animals such as spirit deer are probably born too.

Whether it is concentrated breeding caused by abundant food or the result of stimulation by some factors, it is impossible to make a conclusion now.

In short, write down all these situations first, and it is the work of scholars to analyze the results. "

"You're right! My brain is itching thinking about it!" Yuna decisively chose to give up thinking.

"Write down one more thing."

The old hunter who was carrying food in two or three people spoke again, "Initially, when we heard from the traveling traders in Grombaum that monsters were migrating frequently in the Tross Forest, we subconsciously thought that the monsters were 'escaping'.

But the monsters we met along the way were in such a state that they didn’t seem to want to escape.

Perhaps the truth is completely opposite to what we initially thought. The monsters in the jungle are not escaping at all, but are concentrating.

The Tros Forest became active, with more mushrooms and moss growing on the ground, and more fruits growing on the trees.

Fish, insects, and small herbivores ate and grew rapidly, and their numbers increased dramatically, turning the depths of the jungle into a treasure house full of food.

Carnivore groups and even large monsters are attracted by this, and they are also coming here."

"Even the ancient dragons coming across the sea?" Yuna continued casually.

Lan and Ska, who were relatively smarter than her, looked at each other.

Yuna's thoughtless words further opened their minds.

They have always taken it for granted that ancient dragons like Fu Yuelong were the cause of all the changes.

But now it seems that is not the case.

After all, the landing of the Fuyue Dragon happened only half a month ago, and the changes in the Tross Forest may have already begun, but they have only recently erupted.

"Good job, Yuna! You've grown your brain!"

Lan rubbed Yuna's head fiercely, and the latter punched him hard.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar released this novel for the first time.

"Do you want to die?"

"Roar, ow--!"

Just when the two children were about to fight, the roar from the distant forest interrupted their fight.

The two stood up suddenly and turned to look in the direction of the roar.

"**!"

"Really?"

Seeing that the two seemed to have identified the type of monster from the roar, Scar couldn't help asking: "What kind of monster is that?"

"It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Lan's face no longer had the usual frivolous smile.

Yuna also grasped the handle of the weapon and put the sledgehammer on her back. "With so much food here, it's not surprising that the 'Greedy King of Terror' would be attracted here.

Before setting off, didn't Keo and the others say that they had hunted Tyrannosaurus Rex in this basin?"

"Do you want to get rid of it?" Lan quickly checked the amount of ammunition he carried with him.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is different from other monsters. Its special habit of constantly devouring and seriously destroying the balance of nature has made it always on the guild's "priority hunting list".

As long as it is confirmed to appear, the guild will issue a corresponding hunting mission and recruit powerful hunters to fight it.

At the same time, Tyrannosaurus Rex is also one of the very few monsters that allows powerful hunters to hunt on their own, and they can report it afterwards.

Although there is a certainty of hunting and there is no problem with the process, Yuna, who is used to the "no killing" style of Longliyuan, did not make a hunting decision immediately.

"Get closer first and see the situation first."

The three of them quickly checked their equipment, left the temporary resting place, and hurried towards the place where the roar was heard before.

"Roar!"

"Roar——!"

Along the way, there were more roars, and the expressions of the three people became a little strange.

The roars came from more than one source. There seemed to be not one but two Tyrannosaurus in the dense forest ahead.

"Is it mating?"

"Tyrannosaurus also mate?!"

ps. Some readers asked about the update speed. In fact, I am preparing a new book recently 0v0

Although the performance is unlikely to be better than this one, I like the theme of MH so I still want to start a second book.
