Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Finding a place with lush vegetation and hiding it temporarily, Gordon took out the map given by the instructor and turned the map to the back, which recorded some details about the dragon's lair.

The structure of this rocky mountain is somewhat similar to a volcano. There is a large space in the mountain, with an opening on the top of the mountain, which is very convenient for flying in and out. It is the best nesting place for flying dragons.

Therefore, even if the "owner" among them dies or leaves due to some accident, other flying dragons will settle here soon. Due to the distribution of species, the nest owners are basically fire dragons.

In addition to the entrance and exit on the top of the mountain, there are two passages in the Dragon Nest for entry and exit.

One is a low hole with a height of less than one meter, and the other is a long and narrow stone crevice.

For the huge flying dragons, these two passages are equivalent to mouse holes in human homes, and they don't pay too much attention to them. The smell alone is enough to keep ordinary animals away from here.

But the hunters will use these two passages to "visit" the owner of the lair.

Just like Gordon at this time, except that his role today is a stealthy "thief" instead of a "robber" who kills and sets fire.

The first step in burglary is naturally to confirm whether the owner of the house is at home.

"Pig chop, it's up to you, be careful." Gordon whispered.

Pig Chop nodded his head, tightened the cat pick on his back, and ran to the Dragon's Nest on all fours.

Petite and flexible, this is the core advantage of the Ailu family.

The bigger the monsters, the less they will be taken seriously. After all, in the wild, small size is often synonymous with "harmless".

Even if the pork chop is unlucky and bumps into the owner of the lair, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to attack, everything will be fine.

A few minutes later, the pork chop came running back.

It looks hyper.

"The fire dragon is not in the lair meow! I saw the fire dragon's egg, it's so big! There are three meows in total!"

Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard the words, this is simply the best situation.

Pushing aside the branches and leaves of the bushes and looking up, there was nothing in the sky. Gordon no longer hesitated, left the bushes and trotted all the way to the narrow stone crevice.

The stone gap was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but it was enough for an adult man to pass through normally.

After walking about eight or nine meters along the stone passage, a wide space appeared in front of him.

This is a huge cave with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The interior space is roughly conical. At the top of the cave is an opening with a diameter of about 20. Even a flying dragon can easily pass through it.

Exactly as described by the instructor!

At this time, it was afternoon, and the bright sunlight shone into the cave through the opening, forming a beam of light that illuminated the dark cave.

The cave is not tidy, but it is very dry. The remains of large animals such as herbivorous dragons are everywhere, and there is a pungent stench in the air.

Pig Chop couldn't help sneezing, but Gordon's attention was completely attracted by the nest illuminated by the beam of light.

There are a large number of trees and grass leaves that have been charred by the flames and even ashes. In the middle of the ashes that are more than half a meter thick, three huge dragon eggs are lying there quietly.

Each dragon egg is about 40 to 50 centimeters high, and it may be difficult to hold it with both hands. The surface of the eggshell is not very smooth, showing a granite-like off-white color, giving people a very hard feeling.

Just grab one and bring it back to camp, and the mission is done!

In the dragon's nest, Gordon would not waste time in a daze. He stretched his arms and prepared to walk over to pick up a dragon egg.

But at this moment, the pork chop suddenly screamed, its pointed ears turned around, and the tension in its eyes could not be concealed.

"Meow?! There is the sound of flapping wings meow! The fire dragon may be back meow!"

Gordon immediately stopped walking towards the dragon egg, and he could feel his heartbeat almost doubling within seconds!

Gordon has 100% confidence in the hearing and smell of pork chops, so it is better to act as soon as possible instead of confirming repeatedly like a fool.

It is impossible to run away while holding the dragon egg. When the fire dragon finds that the egg is missing and is furious, it will immediately fly into the air and search around. He has no time to run far.

It can only be hidden first!

Picking up the pork chop and looking around, Gordon bent down and grabbed a handful of dragon excrement from the ground, and wiped himself and the pork chop all over.

The strong stench made him nauseous, but this was the best way to get rid of the smell.

After finishing all this, he and Zhu Chop quickly ran into the stone crevice they passed through when they entered the dragon's nest. The stone crevice passage was not straight, and they hid in the corner to avoid the fire dragon's sight.

After confirming the hiding place, one person and one cat got down on the ground, trying not to make any movement as much as possible.

Not long after they hid, a huge shadow appeared at the opening at the top of the cave amidst the whistling sound of the dragon wings stirring up the airflow.

The huge size of more than fifteen meters made monsters like the Blue Velociraptor King look like children who haven't grown up in front of it, and the wide wings almost completely cover the hole.

The turquoise scaled carapace, thick and powerful legs, and the iconic thorn on the chin all announce the identity of the comer.

The Queen of the Earth - Leorea (female Charmander)!

Stealing his head out from the corner of the stone passageway, Gordon looked at the female fire dragon that had landed steadily into the lair, and almost forgot to breathe.

Is this really a creature that can be fought against by human power?

Dozens of warnings from the instructor were not as effective as this one glance at this time, and Gordon felt regretful for the first time.

If the big wild boar king in the assessment task could still rely on courage and strategy to hunt with difficulty, then the hard power gap between himself and the female fire dragon is a gap that cannot be bridged by any means.

This is simply not a monster that I can face now!

Gordon could feel the pork chop beside him trembling uncontrollably.

This is of course, let alone pork chops, even he himself is completely unable to contain the fear in his heart.

Returning to the nest, the female fire dragon first glanced at the eggs in the nest, a trace of maternal tenderness was rarely revealed in the cold vertical pupils, but then she raised her head vigilantly.

There seemed to be some strange smells in the nest.

It folded its wings, stretched its neck, and sniffed around.

Noticing all this, Gordon and Pork Chop couldn't help holding their breath.

An extremely long ten seconds passed.

Fortunately, the fetid dragon excrement played a decisive role. The female dragon who did not find more thought that this might just be the strange smell of the prey brought back before.

It slowly walked back to the dragon eggs, lay down, wrapped the dragon eggs in its arms, and gently breathed on the dragon eggs with the scorching breath of sparks, as if it was assisting in hatching.

Gradually, it fell asleep.

Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other, this might be the best time to leave.

One person and one cat tried to get up cautiously, but heavy steel weapons and a full set of armor couldn't move completely silently.

As soon as it moved, the head of the Explosive Knife scratched the ground, making a moderate clang.

The awakened female fire dragon instantly opened her eyes, raised her neck, and looked around.

In the passage, Gordon and Pig Chop froze in place as if they were playing a game of wooden men, fearing that there would be any further movement.
