Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 25 The Queen of the Earth

After 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 nest.

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. It is very convenient for flying in and out. It is the best nesting place for flying dragons.

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

In addition to the entrance and exit at the top of the mountain, Dragon Nest also has two passages for entry and exit.

One is a low cave entrance less than one meter high, 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. They don't pay too much attention to them. The smell alone is enough to keep ordinary animals away from this place.

Hunters, however, will use these two passages to "visit" the owner of the nest.

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

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

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

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

Their petite stature and flexible figure are the core advantages of the Ellu clan.

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

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

A few minutes later, Pork Chop ran back.

It seems very excited.

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

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

He pushed aside the branches and leaves of the bush and looked up. There was nothing in the sky. Gordon no longer hesitated, left the bush and trotted all the way to the narrow stone crevice.

The stone crevice is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but it is 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 one thousand square meters. The internal space is roughly cone-shaped. At the top of the cave is an opening with a diameter of about 20, which even a flying dragon can easily pass through.

Exactly consistent with what the instructor described!

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 scattered everywhere, and a pungent fishy smell permeates the air.

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

There are a large number of trees, grass and leaves that have been burned to coke or even white ash by the flames. In the center of the ashes, which is 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, and is gray-white like granite, giving people a very hard feeling.

Just pick one up and take it back to the camp, and the mission is complete!

Being in the dragon's lair, Gordon would not waste time stupidly. He moved his arms and was about to walk over and pick up a dragon egg.

But at this moment, Pig Chop suddenly screamed, its pointed ears moving around, and there was unconcealable nervousness in its eyes.

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

Gordon immediately stopped walking towards the dragon egg. He could feel that his heartbeat nearly doubled in a few seconds!

Gordon had 100% trust in the pork chop's sense of hearing and smell, so instead of repeatedly confirming it like a fool, he might as well take action as soon as possible.

It is impossible to grab the dragon egg and run away. The fire dragon will be furious when it discovers that the dragon egg is missing. It will immediately take off and search around, and he will not have time to run far.

We can only hide it first!

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

The strong smell made him almost nauseous, but this was the best way to eliminate the smell.

After completing all this, he and Zhupa quickly ran into the stone crevice that they passed through when entering the dragon's lair. The stone crevice passage was not straight, and hiding in the corners could avoid the fire dragon's sight.

Having determined the hiding place, one person and one cat lay down, trying not to make any noise as much as possible.

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

The huge size of more than fifteen meters makes monsters like the Blue Speed ​​Dragon King look like immature children in front of it, and its broad wings almost completely cover the entrance of the cave.

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

Queen of the Earth——Leorea (female fire dragon)!

Sneaking his head out from the corner of the stone passageway, Gordon almost forgot to breathe as he watched the female fire dragon landing steadily in the lair.

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

The instructor's warnings dozens of times were no longer effective at this moment, and Gordon felt regretful for the first time.

If the big wild boar king during the assessment mission could still rely on courage and strategy to hunt with difficulty, then the gap in physical power between himself and the female fire dragon was a gap that could not be overcome by any means.

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

Gordon could feel the pork chop next to him trembling uncontrollably.

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

The female fire dragon returned to the nest and first glanced at the eggs in the nest. Her cold vertical pupils showed a rare hint of maternal tenderness, but then she raised her head alertly.

There seems to be some strange smell in the lair.

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

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

An extremely long ten seconds passed.

Fortunately, the handful of stinky fire dragon excrement played a decisive role. The female fire dragon who found nothing more thought that it might just be a strange smell tainted by the prey she brought back before.

It slowly returned to the dragon eggs, lay down, wrapped the eggs in its arms, and gently breathed its hot breath on the eggs, as if to assist 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 carefully tried to get up, but the heavy steel weapons and full set of armor were unable to move completely silently.

As soon as he moved, the head of the explosive knife scraped the ground, making a neither light nor heavy clang sound.

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

In the passage, Gordon and Pork Chop froze in place as if they were playing a wooden game, fearing the slightest movement.
