Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 97 Gods

The originally clear interior of the eye of the storm began to become shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people the illusion of being in a hot spring.

"It seems like it's interested in us."

The professor put down the telescope, wiped the mist-covered lenses with his sleeve, and said, "According to data, places where mist dragons appear are often accompanied by high-temperature water vapor, which is not something that should appear in natural storms."

"Is it predatory behavior?"

Gordon, who recovered from the shock, once again showed his big heart, and his tone was so natural that it was hard to imagine that the person being "preyed" in his words was themselves.

"No, if Lanlong was hunting, do you think we could survive until now?" The professor looked at Gordon with disdain.

"Maybe out of curiosity?" Alva said excitedly, "Like sea dragons sometimes cruising around merchant ships?"

The professor shook his head, "It is meaningless to speculate on these noble creatures with our human thinking. To them, we are as insignificant as dust in the air."

"That means it doesn't want to eat us?" In Gordon's thinking, if a monster doesn't want to eat itself, then it will most likely not attack itself.

"Judging from the data available today, there is no actual record of the Misty Dragon preying on humans or other large creatures. In fact, it may be because the appearance of the Misty Dragon is often accompanied by large-scale heavy rains, and there are clear written records from ancient times to the present.

There is very little data, so it is impossible to conclude that Lanosaurus did not hunt large prey."

In Gordon's view, the professor said a very rigorous nonsense, and he couldn't help but said: "Then why?"

"Don't interrupt, listen carefully to what I have to say!"

The professor glared at Gordon angrily. Gordon shut up and raised his hands to signal the professor to continue.

"Although the information on the ecology of Lanlong is very incomplete, the documents preserved by the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau include records of fishermen at sea witnessing Lanlong preying on fish."

"Preying fish?" Gordon couldn't help but think of the huge shadow that had just emerged from the cloud wall, and said in surprise: "Can such a huge body satisfy its needs by just preying on fish? Even a whole herbivorous dragon can't.

Satisfy its appetite!"

"You don't think that when the Lanlong preys on fish, it catches them one by one, right?"

The professor has an expression that is hard for me to explain to you because your brain is occupied by muscles.

“According to that information, ‘Tianjin Dance in the Wind, Over the Sea, Fishing’ describes the scene of dragons flying in the air, driving storms to roll up huge waves, and pulling fish into the air to feed.

The 'weight' of four of us and one cat is not enough for it to launch a storm to hunt for prey."

"." Gordon closed his mouth.

Indeed, judging from the shadow just reflected by the lightning, the body length of the Lanlong may even exceed fifty meters. If a giant beast of this size really wants to prey on humans, it is obviously more reliable to attack a human village.

"Even if we are not regarded as prey by the mist dragon, the chance of survival is still slim." The professor put the telescope into Alva's hand and asked him to keep it for a while, while he muttered and rummaged through the dragon skin backpack he carried.

stand up.

Soon, he took out charcoal pens, several pieces of parchment and a cylindrical sealed metal tube as thick as his wrist from his backpack.

The professor shook his snow-white eyebrows that almost covered his eyes, "While there are still a few minutes to live, let's record the course of this storm and the ecology of Lanlong.

With luck, the metal letterbox that holds this information will be discovered by a passing businessman or hunter, so we can be considered as doing our part in the research of ancient dragons."

Alva nodded and took the paper and pen to prepare for recording. Lao Hei also came over and held the professor's shoulders with his strong hands, making it easier for the latter to stand firm on the deck and conduct observations.

Looking at the three professors silently, their calmness made Gordon almost forget that this was a death place in the eye of the storm.

Alva's thin wrist trembled slightly. Of course he was afraid of death, but he still tried to stabilize the pen tip and smoothly left lines of clear words on the parchment.

It is their belief to dedicate their lives to research.

Porkchop didn't know when it untied the rope that tied it to the main cable, and staggered to Gordon's feet. Although its tail was stretched straight and its body never stopped trembling, it still persisted.

Stand with Gordon.

Gordon lowered his head and grinned at Pig Chop. Their cooperation in the past two years has made them full of tacit understanding. Pig Chop also raised his face, shaking his beard and showing a very ugly stiff smile.

Still so scary, meow!

"Show up, Lan Long, and let me take a good look at what kind of existence the legendary 'ancient dragon' is!" Gordon whispered.

His voice was so weak that even the pig chop next to him couldn't hear clearly what he was saying amid the roaring wind and thunder.

However, the great being living in the thundercloud seemed to sense the call of the young hunter, after another thunder ripped through the sky.

It slowly swam out of the cloud wall, revealing its majestic and beautiful body in front of everyone.

Looking at the existence that seemed to occupy the entire sky, Gordon forgot to breathe for a moment. He finally understood why a proud scholar like the professor would call it a "god."

People who have never witnessed it with their own eyes can never imagine that such gorgeous life exists in the world.

The huge body, mainly cloud white, is covered by countless gorgeous spinous fins and connecting wing membranes, which is reminiscent of the tassels on the skirts of ladies at banquets.

However, if we compare the two, we feel that this metaphor is an insult to the former - it is a kind of magnificence and solemnity that no man-made thing can match.

The streamlined head is slightly similar to the fire dragon, but it is not as ferocious and ferocious as the latter. Slender and elegant white thorns extend from the back of the head and neck.

Two of them are extraordinarily slender, showing a gorgeous golden color, and the texture seems to be slightly different. They may be called "horns".

It doesn't have wings or claws like a flying dragon. Its limbs are like the fins of marine creatures, long and flat, complementing the white spiny fins all over its body.

What attracts most attention is the purple-red spots all over its body.

Strange light spots form a series of mysterious runes between light and dark, dotted on the silver thorns and wing membranes, giving people an indescribable sense of sanctity.

As Lan Long appeared, scorching hot water vapor lingered around everyone, and sweat evaporated from the high temperature flowed down their faces, but no one raised their hands to wipe it away.

The professor fell into a state of extreme excitement and even madness. He snatched the pen and paper from Alva's hand and sketched the image of the dragon at an astonishing speed, and from time to time he commented something next to the pattern.

"Oh my God, my God! Look at those golden flaky horns! Does it use these horns to control the wind and rain, like the Fengxiang Dragon?

No, no! No! It’s not horns! Damn it, I just now noticed that Lanlong has no wings?! This has never been mentioned in the literature, hahahaha!

Creatures that fly without wings. Like Fuyuesaurus? No, that is floating! And this is another way of flying, a completely different direction of evolution!

How does it fly? High temperature water vapor spot fin. Storm water vapor! Got it, I got it! It’s water vapor!

Relying on a certain organ to generate high temperature, the water stored in the body is evaporated into high-temperature water vapor, and the spinous fin wing membrane is pushed up by the hot air to fly in the air. This can also explain the formation of thunderclouds!

"

ps. There is no precise information on the flying principle of Lan Long in the original game or official information book.

Creating high-temperature water vapor and using it to fly was mentioned in a forum or a very famous post. Many people agreed, and we also think it makes sense. This setting is adopted here.
