Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

(It’s too late for two updates today, two updates tomorrow orz)

Opinions within the Silverside team were divided over whether to allow Gale to join this free exploration mission.

Everyone decided to vote, and as expected, one person was in favor, one was against, and one said it didn't matter.

The vote was cast as if it had not been cast.

Several people's eyes were focused on Gordon, who abstained from voting.

After looking around, Gordon finally changed his vote with Hayata's encouragement and Ancier's desperate eyes.

"Happy~."

Gale gave Ancil a provocative look.

Anhil took a deep breath and said, "I hope you won't hold back."

Gale "Huhu" smiled strangely, shouted to the chef's station, "Charge it to my account!", and then headed towards the processing house with Sandstone and Le Diandian's Pandan.

The rules for ownership of hunting partners' equipment are indeed not as strict as those for hunters.

Under the rather speechless gaze of the leader of the second group, Gale opened her mouth and said that she and Hayata had changed cats, so the equipment had to be changed as well.

The old craftsman naturally saw through her nonsense at a glance.

However, Hayata and Gale are both seven-star hunters, and there is no such thing as a "cat leading a man." Considering not wasting material, they turned a blind eye and allowed them to take advantage of this loophole.

At the same time, the three Gordons were walking on the way to the Institute of Ecology. If Gale hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known that the egg had hatched.

They were quite curious about the egg and happened to go take a look.

Along the way, Ancil had a dark face, obviously still resentful of the decision to let Gale go with him.

Although it is not that they have never cooperated before, they were all straightforward hunting missions. The two disliked each other and did not communicate much.

But this mission is different. Even if it goes non-stop, there are constant clues, and it goes absolutely smoothly, three months is still the shortest time.

The thought of walking with that guy for so long makes me...

"Tsk." Anxier gasped again.

"Do you hate her so much?"

Gordon smiled and put his arm around Ancier's shoulders, then put less than half of his weight on the latter, "Come on, as long as you just say, 'I hate Gale so much, with me or without her!', I will go. Help you get it back."

Anhil grinded his teeth, "Forget it, it makes me seem afraid of that guy."

Hayata looked at him amused.

She had already noticed that although these two guys said they disliked each other, they didn't hate each other that much.

Otherwise, with their equally arrogant personalities, even for the sake of mutual friends, they would not eat at the same table or hunt together.

Gordon winked and punched Ancil in the ribs, earning a kick from Ancil.

They came to the Institute of Ecology in a noisy manner, and the scene before them almost made their eyes pop out.

They had heard Gale say before that Xuanxiao "held that little thing and licked it all day long," and they thought that was just a way of describing it.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I realized that Xuanxu was real. She was holding the little flying dragon that was just two days old and licking it with her tongue.

After being stunned for several seconds, Anhil regained his perspective and rushed forward angrily, dragging his half-sister up, picking up a water bag and gargling Xuanxu's mouth.

"Ji!" The frightened Xiaofeng Piaolong screamed.

Xuanxuan quickly pushed away the water bag that Anxier put to her mouth, hugged the little Feng Piaolong, whose wings were folded and was not much smaller than Ellu, for a while to comfort her, and took a few more licks.

"You scared her!" Xuanxu glared at Anxier angrily.

This was the first time for Gordon and the others to see Xuanxu speak in such a stern tone.

"You scared me!" Anxier glared back.

Gordon pulled Ancil's shoulder to signal him to calm down. At the same time, he looked at the little flying dragon, which had no hard bones in its body and felt soft.

During this period, Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue again and licked the corner of the little flying dragon's mouth.

The little flying dragon chirped "wuwu" and licked it back.

This scene made the clean-minded Anhil's hair stand on end.

Just as he was about to say something, Gordon asked Xuanxu first, "What are you licking for?"

Xuanxuan explained seriously: "The act of licking cubs is good for cleaning the body surface, and it is also for establishing an initial family relationship. Many animal mothers do this!"

"Is there such a statement?" Gordon looked at the director of the Institute of Ecology who was recording something on the side.

The old Draconian scholar pushed up his glasses, "Of course, we just haven't tried actually licking it with our tongues. So far, it seems that the effect is very good.

This baby of the wind-drifting dragon is very clingy and has obviously regarded her as its mother. "

Anhir hesitated to speak.

The cubs of most animals are very cute, and the cubs of flying dragons are no exception. Hayata's eyes shone, and he squatted down and tried to touch the Fengdiao dragon cub, but almost didn't get bitten.

"I'm very afraid of giving birth to her." Xuanxuan said softly, turning her cheek to the side and rubbing against Xiaofeng Piaolong.

Xiaofeng Piaolong responded affectionately, which was completely different from the vigilant and aggressive attitude when facing Hayata.

"Did this relationship really come about?" Gordon asked in surprise.

The old scholar continued to explain: "This is partly the reason, but also because Xuanxuan is one of the first people the Fengdiaolong baby sees when it hatches. This is the first impression engraved in the subconscious.

Well, I can only say that the role of licking is very crucial. I was also present during the hatching, but she was not so close to him. "

After hearing this, Liefeng, who was following Anxil, opened his mouth wide and flicked his tongue, wanting to go up and take a few licks.

Xiaofeng Piaolong was so frightened that he quickly got into Xuanxu's arms, and Xuanxu beat the strong wind away.

"Why did you think of licking it?" Hayata asked curiously.

Xuanxu rubbed the tips of his noses with the Fengdiao dragon cub and said casually: "This is what everyone does, it's common sense, isn't it?"

"This should be the 'common sense' of Hong Leong Shu Hai."

"Yeah!" Xuanxu nodded vigorously, "There are also people who tame small monsters. That's what we do over there, so that we can kiss each other in the future!"

After hearing Xuanxu's answer, Gordon laughed dryly, "The strange knowledge has increased."

"How long can this kind of personal care last?" An Xil, who had calmed down a bit, asked with a frown.

The current Feng Piaolong cub is less than one meter long. With its body curled up, a girl as petite as Xuanxu can easily pick it up.

But what about the future?

The length of an adult Fengdiao dragon will exceed fifteen meters, and the extreme size individual can even exceed twenty meters. It is an absolutely large flying dragon that can swallow a cricket in one bite without chewing it.

By then, can "family love" still be maintained?

Xuanxu is not stupid, so he naturally understands the meaning of An Xier's words.

She hugged the Fengdiaolong cub tightly and shook her head, "I don't know. Anyway, until it grows up and becomes independent, I will be its mother!"

"Individual Fengdiaolong in the wild will emerge from the juvenile stage four to five years after breaking out of its shell, and will reach sexual maturity after about ten years old."

The director of the Institute of Ecology said from the side: "But after all, it is a predator at the top of the ecological chain. At the age of two to three, it can basically stand on its own."

"Then I will take care of her for another three years!" Xuanxu said seriously.

Ancier's expression was a little distorted. He asked the director of the Institute of Ecology, "How big will this thing grow in three years?"

"The body length is about six to eight meters. It will be able to prey on pterosaurs by then. In five years, the body length will almost exceed ten meters."

Anhir rubbed his face in distress.

Mother, sisters, they would go crazy if they knew it.
