Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon and his party retreated cautiously. When they were far away from the boundary of the huge lava lake, they began to speed up and left the lava canyon at the fastest speed.

The temperature outside the lava canyon is still close to 50 degrees, and some areas even exceed 50 degrees, but the hunters still feel "cool".

After taking a rest in the hunter camp near the lava canyon and leaving a warning message not to enter the canyon, Gordon and others embarked on the return journey.

There was no surprise or danger along the way.

Having been attacked by small monsters twice, before Gordon and Hayata could draw out their weapons, Gale rushed out, snapped the necks of those red velociraptors cleanly, and tore them apart like venting their anger. Array.

Gordon didn't stop it either, he knew that Gale was venting the accumulated restlessness in his heart, as well as the little fear after witnessing the black monster.

Another two days passed, and the dusty hunters finally returned to Naguli Village.

The long-lost sense of security enveloped them, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out.

Gordon really wanted to lie down on the spot, not caring about anything, and sleep on it for a day and a night. Hariyata Pork Chop and the others also looked tired and sleepy.

But right now there are more important things than rest.

Gordon strained his eyelids, and immediately found the head of the Tulong tribe in Naguli Village, and the head of the brigade was also found. This old man has a close relationship with the guild, and his channels are also very important.

Anshir and Fengying, who had returned to Naguli Village in advance, had already reported part of the situation to them, so the two old men attached great importance to the information Gordon and the others brought back.

At the home of the village head of the Tulong tribe, Gordon spread out the map that they had drawn in a mess.

"This is the route that the armored dragon migrated to the nearby mine. We traced the reverse direction to the lava canyon. If there is no accident, the lava canyon is the original habitat of the armored dragon."

Speaking of this, Gordon suddenly wanted to ask the village chief, Fengying and the others about their hunting of Kailong, but in the end no time wasted.

With Anshir here, an armored dragon that wasn't in very good condition, it's impossible to make any splashes.

"The magma in the lava canyon has been completely activated. When I came to Naguli Village to dig the protective rocks, I have been there many times, and I have never seen such a hot situation.

The magma was all golden, and the creatures in and around the canyon disappeared without a trace, not even a spider, lizard or other small reptiles. "

The expressions of the village head of the Tulong tribe and the head of the brigade became more and more serious.

Even if there is no news of the mysterious monster appearing, just the complete destruction of the ecological environment of the entire area is enough to attract the attention of the guild headquarters.

"We went into the canyon for reconnaissance and ended up here."

Gordon pointed to an area highlighted with charcoal on the map, and continued: "In the largest magma lake in the lava canyon, traces of that monster were found.

That guy was diving deep under the magma, and we surprised it for a while by blowing down boulders.

It was a monster wrapped in a pitch-black carapace. Judging from the part of its body exposed on the surface of the magma, its length should be more than 30 meters.

Without wings, the body structure is very compact and strong, with two huge fangs, very aggressive.

Well, by the way, Hariyatta drew a sketch, you two can take a look. "

Hayata immediately took out the monster portrait she had drawn while resting in the camp from her waist pocket.

Hayata, who has learned how to draw since he was a child, has a very high level of sketching. Except for the carapace details that he didn't have time to observe, and the lower body hidden under the magma, at least 70% to 80% of the monster's appearance has been restored.

The village head and head of the Tulong tribe took the sketch, looked at each other carefully and then looked at each other.

"It really is that guy, why did he escape from the core of the volcano?" the village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe muttered.

The head of the brigade pressed down on the brim of his hat, "From the perspective of time, it may be related to the Tianhuilong incident. There are quite a few ancient dragon-level creatures disturbed by Tianhuilong all over the world."

"Do you two know any information about this pitch-black monster?" Gordon asked proactively.

He and Hayata who were present were both high-level hunters. As long as it didn't involve "taboos", basically all the monster information was within their purview.

"Um."

The village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe nodded his head vigorously, and the long-toothed beard of a wild boar almost missed the pork chop. dialect, the earliest record of which comes from the village of Pokai.

The ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild has an overwhelming power comparable to that of ancient dragons, and even surpasses some ancient dragons. The guild calls it "tyrannical dragon". "

Gordon wanted to complain. It was a monster that lived deep in the volcanic area, but the earliest record came from Pokai Village in the far northeastern corner of the mainland, in the Flasia Snow Mountain area? !

But after hearing the key words in the second half of the sentence, he immediately shifted his focus.

"An ancient dragon-level creature? Isn't that guy an ancient dragon?" Gordon asked.

As far as Gordon knows, most ancient dragon creatures have six limbs, four limbs and two wings, but there are many exceptions.

There are unicorns that look like horses, haze dragons covered with wing membranes, and huge peak mountain dragons, Laoshan dragons, etc., which also have no wings.

From this point of view, if you have to say who it looks like, that terrifying creature named Tyrannosaurus seems to have a slight resemblance to Fengshan Dragon?

Well, the fangs aspect.

"Indeed, Tyrannosaurus is not an ancient dragon species."

The head of the brigade folded his arms and explained: "Initially, the guild also classified it as an ancient dragon species, but with the deepening of research, scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and the Dragon Calendar Institute discovered that this creature is closely related in terms of kinship. , more towards the flying dragon species."

"Huh? Wyverns without wings?"

"Well, scholars believe that this is a very ancient creature, which is related to the 'Original Flying Dragon' which is the ancestor of all flying dragons, showing the life form of this branch of biology before it evolved wings.

By the way, the booming dragon can be regarded as the "intermediate form" in the evolution of the flying dragon, and the ancestor of the booming dragon, the "Rex flying dragon", is also very close to the Tyrannosaur. "

".Fine."

From Gordon's point of view, it's really weird to classify a creature like Tyrannosaurus, which has no wings at all, as a "flying dragon species".

Regardless of these biological related things, Gordon continued to ask: "So how will the guild deal with this Tyrannosaurus in the future? Will it order a crusade?"

The reason why Gordon asked this was because they were the only high-ranking hunters in Naguli Village right now.

If the guild really decides to attack Tyrannosaurus, the task will most likely fall on them.

"Probably not."

The head of the brigade shook his head and said: "According to what you said, that Tyrannosaurus did not intend to leave the volcano, but just slept in the lava canyon, posing little threat to the outside world.

According to the guild's handling habits, it should not directly order the crusade. There is a high probability that a professional team will be sent to try to induce them to 'send' them back to the core area of ​​the volcano.

Fortunately, you didn't provoke it and took that guy out of the lava canyon, otherwise it's time to issue an 'emergency declaration'. "

Pig Chop shook his body when he heard the words, then turned around and scratched Lie Feng's paw.

Fortunately, I didn't use an explosive bomb directly, and I must never listen to this guy's meow in the future!
