Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Riding on the pterosaur, we flew through the ancient tree forest and arrived back at the star stronghold late at night.

Most people have returned to their residences, and the entire stronghold is quiet except for the sound of the water from the cliff waterfall.

Hayata was hesitating whether to go to the Commander-in-Chief's house to wake him up, but found that the lights on the bow platform that served as the headquarters were still on.

The old man with dark skin and white hair was still busy in front of the podium.

Commander-in-Chief, is he always busy so late?

Hayata sighed softly, stepped forward lightly, and stepped forward.

Suddenly, the Commander-in-Chief squatted down behind the podium. Hayata's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly ran over and asked, "Commander-in-Chief?! Are you okay?"

However, the scene in front of her seemed different from what she thought.

The squeaking pig that always wandered around the stronghold was snorting at the Commander-in-Chief's feet, turning his belly.

The Commander-in-Chief, who was always very serious, also had a rare smile on his face. He squatted there, rubbing and scratching the chubby pig's belly.

Hayata's expression turned strange.

As a common pet, the Puff Pig generally only approaches people it is close to and familiar with.

Gordon had a very good relationship with the squeaky pig in Bernard Village, so the pig would often rub against his legs, and sometimes talk to itself and go into Gordon's house to take a nap.

As for the squeaking pig at the Star Stronghold, he usually goes his own way and is very aloof, as if he doesn't want to kiss anyone. They tried to hug him before, but they were struggled away.

It turns out to be the Commander-in-Chief’s pet.

".Ahem, it's Hayata."

The commander-in-chief, whose little secret was revealed, stood up slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly to hide his emotions.

Halfway through enjoying the massage, Puffy Pig turned over with some dissatisfaction when it was suddenly interrupted, and started to grunt at the Commander-in-Chief's trouser legs.

The commander-in-chief, who had entered the state, ignored it and asked: "Have you come back? How is the situation? Where are the others?"

Hayata quickly took her attention away from the coquettish pig. She organized her words and quickly reported:

"About a month ago, a Dino-Tyrannosaurus landed on the coast west of the ancient tree forest. It is currently preying on the western forest, and medium and large creatures have basically disappeared.

The residence of a Deter tribe was destroyed, so they came here to ask for help from us.

During the daytime search, we found the Dino Tyrannosaurus and tried to hunt it, but unfortunately we failed. It was not an ordinary Dino Tyrannosaurus."

Then, Hayata reported the appearance of the black Tyrannosaurus and the battle to the commander-in-chief in detail.

"Oshula was seriously injured and unable to move, so I asked Azixianlan and the others to take care of her and report back alone."

The Commander-in-Chief crossed his arms and frowned deeply.

"It's actually the Tyrannosaurus, and it's a special individual." After pondering for a moment, the commander-in-chief raised his head, "I understand this. This trip has been really hard for you, so go back and rest.

By the way, Hayata, don't leave the stars for the next few days. You may be required to participate in subsequent meetings and crusade plans. "

Hayata, who had originally planned to fly back to the western part of the forest tomorrow and come back with them after Oshula's injury improved, was silent for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

Farewell to the Commander-in-Chief, Hayata returned home alone.

Opening the door and looking into the quiet and dark room, Hayata was stunned for a moment.

Even Xianglan is not around. How long has it been since you were completely alone like this?

Hang the insect trap around your waist on the branches passing through the wall, and the light yellow fluorescent light will brighten the room.

Hayata silently took off his weapons and armor and threw himself on the bed. The light from the insect guide was a bit dazzling, so he covered his head with a pillow.

"Have I done a good job as captain for the first time?"

The next day, we had breakfast at Shanmao Pavilion.

Hayata, who was about to go home to maintain her weapons and equipment, received a message from a member of the investigation team, asking her to go to the headquarters as soon as possible to participate in the meeting.

After Hayata expressed her gratitude, she rubbed her face to cheer up and hurried away.

There were many people participating in the meeting, and they were all the backbone of the investigation team.

Not to mention the commander-in-chief, the director of the Ecological Research Institute, the leader of the research team, the sword master, and everyone from the Survey and Resource Management Institute were also there.

Evelyn Ferdy and his wife were also present, and other high-ranking hunters from the special investigation team had their own missions and were currently away from the stars.

"Sorry, I'm late." Hayata nodded to everyone and apologized.

The commander-in-chief smiled at her and said, "I am the one who wants to apologize. You just went through a big battle yesterday and I should have let you rest for a few days.

There are just some details about the Tyrannosaurus Rex that we want to confirm with you as soon as possible, so we called you here temporarily. "

Before the Commander-in-Chief finished speaking, the leader of the research class rushed to ask: "Ms. Hayata, in your report to the Commander-in-Chief, you mentioned 'more developed muscles than ordinary T-Rex's' and 'continuous damage to the wound'" Escaped dragon energy, right?

Also, that black Tyrannosaurus rex used a very powerful breath attack on you, right? "

Before he could stand still, he was asked such a series of questions. Hayata didn't react. He was stunned for a second before nodding and said: "Yes, I saw these points with my own eyes and reported them personally. For the Commander-in-Chief.”

After exchanging a few words with the director of the institute in a low voice, the leader of the research team continued to ask: "Can you describe the muscle distribution of the Dino Rex in more detail? For example, which muscle is more developed and so on."

As he spoke, he held up a drawing board, as if Hayata was going to describe it while he sketched it quickly.

Hayata was a little embarrassed. She obviously didn't know enough about the Tyrannosaurus to accurately describe a certain muscle, but there was a more direct way.

"Can you give me the drawing board? I have learned painting."

"Of course!" The leader of the research class happily handed the drawing board to Hayata.

Hayata spent some time and used charcoal to draw a sketch of the black Tyrannosaurus they encountered yesterday.

The skin that was torn apart by the muscles and the dragon-type energy escaping from the wounds were not missed either.

The monitor of the research class took the drawing board and looked at her in surprise.

The way hunters describe the details of a monster's body structure is usually "thick legs" and "big head". If they are asked to use pen drawings, they can only get dizzying graffiti. If they want to get the exact image, they have to spend a lot of time. A lot of effort.

Although this person's painting level is not as good as those of biologists who specialize in painting, it is still at a pretty good level among ordinary scholars. He has the proper perspective, composition, and details.

It can be seen that he has really studied seriously.

The leader of the research class spread the sketch on the table, and everyone gathered around the painting to look at it carefully.

Especially the director of the Institute of Ecology, an elderly Draconian scholar, stared at the picture for a long time with his thick glasses on, and finally nodded to the commander-in-chief with a serious expression.

"It should be an 'Angry' individual, not to mention the New World where the Dino Tyrannosaurus has never been found. Even in the Old World, it is an extremely rare existence.

They are stronger and crazier than ordinary tyrannosaurs, and the dragon-type energy contained in their bodies is also extremely amazing. They are considered to be terrifying creatures that can fight head-on with ancient dragon species.

At first, scholars believed that they belonged to a subspecies of Tyrannosaurus, or a specially evolved individual, but after dissection of the corpses, we found that they were actually 'ordinary' Tyrannosaurus.

You should also know that the metabolic rate of Dino Tyrannosaurus is extremely alarming, which is the main reason why they hunt and eat crazily all the time, otherwise they will starve to death very quickly.

Because of this, the lifespan of Dino Tyrannosaurus is generally not too long, and most of them die from fighting or starvation. "

Hearing this, Hayata could not help but recall the Terror Tyrannosaurus that Gordon once hunted, and was on the verge of starving to death after devouring all the creatures in the frozen soil.

The old scholar raised his head and looked at the crowd, and continued: "However, there are also a very small number of exceptionally powerful individuals. By constantly challenging powerful creatures, they hunted for more food and continued to cycle through fighting, devouring, migrating, and becoming stronger.

It can be said that as long as there is a living Dino Tyrannosaurus, the older the individual, the stronger and crazier it is.

As they grow older, their skin color will become darker and darker, their muscles will become stronger and stronger, and the dragon-attribute energy accumulated in their bodies will become uncontrollable and continue to overflow from their wounds.

These are the so-called 'angry ghouls' individuals. At this time, they have nothing left in their minds except hunting and eating. "

Ps.

I feel that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is really one of the best designed monsters, terrifying and sad at the same time.
