Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 382: Ancient Dragon-level creatures are released! (4.6k, supplemented on 5.19th)
Bai Zhen was explaining to Wenshu how to use the radar mask.

A couple in the distance walked straight towards Ai Cao's tea and snack shop.

That is exactly the combination of Ni Tai and Ni Mo.

Bai Zhen also heard from Huoya that Nimo is now officially Ni Tai's disciple, learning some techniques on the use of fighting spirit and hunting skills.

As a person with weak physical strength, Nemo is in urgent need of some means to improve her survival ability.

From a distance, when Bai Zhen saw Nimo, Nimo also saw Bai Zhen.

Seeing Bai Zhen coming back, Nimo ran over excitedly: "Bai Zhen, you are finally back! When did you capture Moltres? What is the move of the light ball held by Crimson Armor Knight? And can you use your Rayquaza and Kyogre to have a Pokémon duel with me?"

Although Nemo has been staying in Fire Village during this period, whenever she returns to Fire Village, she will go back to the Pokémon world to report her safety to her family.

When she goes back, Nimo will simply check to see if anything major has happened recently.

As soon as you go online, you will naturally know the news that Bai Zhen tamed Rayquaza and commanded Crimson Knight, Moltres, and Kyogre to fight.

As for those news, it can be said that they are all over the Internet.

"I captured Moltres not long ago. As for Rayquaza and Kyogre, Kyogre left, but Rayquaza is still with me. Let's have a Pokémon battle later when we are free."

"A word is settled!"

Being able to battle against legendary Pokémon is extremely tempting for anyone who aims to be the strongest Pokémon trainer.

Ni Tai also came to Bai Zhen and greeted him: "Long time no see, is it convenient for us to share the table?"

"Of course, feel free to do so."

Ni Tai and Ni Mo sat down opposite him.

Bai Zhen asked Ni Tai about the progress of his mission with concern: "How are you tracking down the real culprit behind the Hundred Dragons Night Parade?"

After Ni Tai found Ai Cao and ordered a set meal, he answered Bai Zhen's question: "As you said, there really is an ancient dragon behind this disaster. This is the clue I got from the photo I took with the help of Ni Mo."

Ni Tai showed Bai Zhen all the photos he had taken.

There are a lot of photos, including but not limited to photos of prey, photos of terrain, and photos of Quetzalcoatlus taken from a distance.

In the photos, some of the prey have traces of being cut by the wind on their bodies, and on some rock walls, there are also signs of large-scale storms.

The most important thing is a photo of clouds, in which a dragon-like monster is vaguely visible among the clouds.

Ni Taiyan said: "The ancient dragon in this photo has been confirmed to be the ancient dragon 'Wind God Dragon'."

Bai Zhen was very pleased to see that Ni Tai and others had made progress.

Bai Zhen asked: "Have you tried to track down the Wind Dragon so far?"

Ni Tai nodded affirmatively: "Yes, but we failed every time. The speed of the Wind Dragon is very fast, and the airflow will become very turbulent where the Wind Dragon passes. Even if we find it, we can't catch up with the ancient dragon."

Bai Zhen looked at Ni Mo, and Ni Mo nodded, indicating that what Ni Tai said was true.

Among the Pokémon that Nemo owns, there are some that are good at flying. If even such Pokémon cannot be caught up, it is enough to show how fast Wind Dragon is.

Moreover, as an ancient dragon whose appearance represents changes in heaven and earth, it is very normal for the Wind Dragon to change the surrounding environment.

Ni Tai continued, this time asking Bai Zhen in an inquiring tone: "When we were tracking the traces of the Wind Dragon, we also found traces of other ancient dragons and some ancient dragon-level creatures. We guess that these powerful monsters were summoned by the Wind Dragon to the vicinity of Yanhuo Village. What do you think?"

"Oh?" Bai Zhen became interested when talking about ancient dragons and ancient dragon-level creatures. Bai Zhen asked, "Did you find any traces of monsters?"

Ni Tai took out some evidence they had taken and said, "We found traces of the golden lion near the submerged forest, and traces of the ancient dragon species Tianhui Dragon near the abandoned shrine."

Golden Lion and Tianhui Dragon!
The Golden Lion is an ancient dragon-level monster, equivalent in rank to the Resentful Tiger Dragon and the Explosive Scale Dragon, and both have the ability to hunt ancient dragons.

The appearance of the golden lion is similar to a combination of a gorilla and a lion. It has the sturdy physique and face of a gorilla, a pair of hard large horns and dense mane of a lion. Its large horns are a symbol of male strength, and like a buffalo's tail, they are also an emotion controller.

The body color of the golden lion is dark brown, and its size is not large, with an average length of only 12 meters, so at first glance it is an ordinary monster that is not very noticeable. But when it "transforms" into the fighting state, the mane of the golden lion will shine with golden light due to the gathering of electric energy, which makes people terrified. This is where the name "Golden Lion" comes from.

The Tianhui Dragon is probably the most handsome ancient dragon species, without a doubt.

The trunk of the Sky Comet Dragon is streamlined, with a maximum body length of over 25 meters, and its entire body is covered with solid silver scales.

His six-legged wings can spray red dragon energy backwards like a fighter jet engine, and his flying posture is not much different from that of a fighter jet.

It can be said that Tensei is the Super Latias in the Monster Hunter world, and its flying speed can easily reach several times the speed of sound.

After getting information about the two monsters at once, Bai Zhen even wanted to set out to find Tianhui Dragon and Golden Lion right away.

Bai Zhen thought to himself, "I wonder if letting Super Rayquaza take me to the sky will attract the attention of Tianhui Dragon?"

Bai Zhen was still thinking, Ni Tai asked Bai Zhen: "There are more and more powerful monsters near the village, not only the Grudge Thunder Tiger Dragon, but also the Explosive Scale Dragon, or the Golden Lion and the Heavenly Wisdom Dragon. They usually don't appear within the scope of the village. Do you think they are summoned by the Wind Dragon?"

Ni Tai asked Bai Zhen what he thought.

Although Bai Zhen has always said that the honorary doctorate title he received is not true, it has almost become a consensus that even the scholars from the kingdom's scribes are not as knowledgeable about monsters as Bai Zhen.

Ni Tai also wanted to see what Bai Zhen thought.

Bai Zhen has raised three map king-level monsters so far, and Bai Zhen should be the one who knows the most about monsters in the village.

Bai Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't think those monsters were summoned by the Wind Dragon. It's more like they felt threatened, so they spontaneously approached this side and wanted to hunt the Wind Dragon."

"Feeling threatened? Want to hunt the Wind Dragon?!" Ni Tai exclaimed. He had considered this possibility before, but because it seemed a little unbelievable, he did not think about it in detail.

If such a powerful monster can travel across mountains and rivers from hundreds of kilometers away to come hunting, what kind of disaster will this Wind Dragon bring to the world?
Ni Tai: "Will these monsters really come from far away just for the Wind Dragon? How do they track the Wind Dragon?"

Bai Zhen: "If they sense danger, these monsters will definitely eliminate the hidden danger for their own safety."

For example, the forbidden ancient dragon Huang Black Dragon, because it sensed the existence and threat of the forbidden ancient dragon Ming Chi Dragon in the New World, it left the divine realm and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to the New World to hunt the Ming Chi Dragon.

It is also very normal for the ancient dragons and ancient dragon-level creatures here to prevent the Wind Dragon and Thunder Dragon from giving birth to offspring because they sense danger.

Bai Zhen: "As for how to track the Wind Dragon, I think it should be the pheromones emitted by the Wind Dragon, which can cover hundreds of kilometers in radius."

"Pheromone released in a range of hundreds of kilometers?" This time it was not Ni Tai who was surprised, but Wenshu who felt a little unbelievable. Bai Zhen: "Considering what Ni Tai said just now, there will be strong air turbulence near the Wind Dragon, the Wind Dragon should be using the wind to transmit its pheromones to the distance."

"I see, that makes perfect sense." Wenshu was very experienced in hunting, and she immediately spotted the blind spot. She asked, "A wild monster releasing its pheromones over such a large area is no different from committing suicide, so why would this Wind Dragon release pheromones over such a large area?"

"Monsters release pheromones for the purpose of communication. There are eight types of pheromones: kairomones, egocentric pheromones, synergistic pheromones, aggregation pheromones, tracking pheromones, warning pheromones, dispersal pheromones, and sex pheromones."

Bai Zhen gave everyone a brief introduction to the types and functions of these pheromones.

Then he guided directly: "Considering the ancient dragon-level creatures and ancient dragons you saw, they left their territories and wanted to hunt the Wind Dragon because they were angry and felt threatened. I personally tend to believe that the pheromones emitted by the Wind Dragon are sex pheromones."

As the Wind Dragon releases warning pheromones to mark its territory, generally speaking, no creature would approach it. Wild monsters are very cautious about their lives, and unless it is absolutely necessary or there is some special benefit, these ancient dragons and ancient dragon-level creatures will rarely challenge a strong enemy.

As for other pheromones, there may be one kind called "aggregation pheromone" that is more related.

But this pheromone will not cause anger and fear in other monsters.

However, the pheromones released by the Hades Dragons in the New World that attract the old ancient dragons are a kind of [aggregation pheromone].

This pheromone specifically targets elderly ancient dragons, giving them the motivation and drive to travel across the ocean.

The message conveyed by pheromones is most likely that there is food in the New World that can sustain their lives.

This is what would make those old and dying ancient dragons go to the New World.

"Sex pheromones?" Ni Tai and Wenshu repeated at the same time.

Bai Zhen said: "That's right, assuming that the Wind Dragon is looking for its mate, it releases its pheromones to attract its other half, and their offspring are likely to seriously endanger the surrounding ecology, then those ancient dragon-level monsters will definitely appear to stop them.

Moreover, the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons occurs once every 50 years, which coincides with the habit of monsters to mate and reproduce at a certain time every year. The Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons may also be the other party's attempt to create a good breeding environment and start to drive away the surrounding monsters.

The purpose of driving them away is to prevent the tragedy that happened 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or even a thousand years ago from happening again. That’s why most of the monsters in the Night Walk of the Hundred Dragons are very scared. All these things can be connected.”

After Bai Zhen finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet.

Bai Zhen looked around curiously and found that everyone was looking at him in disbelief.

Many doubts in everyone's mind were explained in an instant, and the truth of the matter became very clear.

Ni Tai felt a little confused before, but after being reminded by Bai Zhen, he felt that this was the truth.

Ai Cao held the tray in her arms and looked at Bai Zhen in admiration, saying, "Brother Bai Zhen is amazing! He was able to analyze so much information with just such a small clue!"

Bai Zhen smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "I've said too much."

Bai Zhen said carelessly: "It's nothing. If you have learned the relevant knowledge, you will be able to guess it."

Nimo said at this time: "Bai Zhen, you are really knowledgeable. I didn't expect you to know so much biological knowledge."

As a person from another world, Nemo knows everything about Pokémon, but she doesn't understand this basic knowledge very well.

Bai Zhen immediately changed the subject and asked Ni Tai and Ni Mo: "By the way, what tasks do you two have next?"

Bai Zhen saw that Ni Tai was fully armed and that he and Ni Mo had teamed up to eat at Ai Cao's tea and snack shop, so he knew that the two of them had accepted the mission and were preparing to go out hunting.

Ni Tai: "We have just accepted the mission from His Excellency Sui Fengren. We are going to use the special mechanism made by Master Dao Wen to lure out Jie Yuan Zhen Tian Yuan Hu Long."

Bai Zhen's eyes widened when he heard this: "Yuan Hulong is still alive??!"

Ni Tai nodded, took out a photo he had taken not long ago and said, "According to our recent investigation, we took photos of the scene after the tiger dragon hunted."

Bai Zhen looked at the photo, which showed a pile of rotten monster meat. Upon careful observation, he found that the tooth marks on the meat were indeed those of the Tiger Dragon, and the degree of decay also clearly seemed to have been accelerated.

Ni Tai: "Based on my experience, the decay rate of this meat is three times that of ordinary meat. There are obvious signs of accelerated decay in many places, which are very typical signs of predation by the leopard. In addition, we also found traces of burns and knife cuts at the scene."

Bai Zhen looked at the photos in detail.

It is confirmed without a doubt that Jieyuan Zhentianyuan Hulong is still alive!

Bai Zhen asked Ni Tai: "Can you give me this mission? Of course I can pay a large transfer fee."

Originally Bai Zhen thought that Jie Yuan Zhentian Yuan Hulong had died in the wild, but he didn't expect that in just one day, Ni Tai and his team found relevant clues.

Now his monster slate has been unable to find a suitable soul to create an avatar. If he can kill the resentful tiger dragon with his own hands, then he will have the opportunity to create his first clone.

Bai Zhen: "I felt it was a pity that I let this resentful tiger dragon escape last time. If possible, I want to defeat this resentful tiger dragon myself."

Ni Tai and Ni Mo nodded and agreed without thinking.

Ni Tai: "Of course there is no problem. This resentful tiger dragon was originally your prey. If you had not been away from Yanhuo Village for some time, I think Mr. Sui Fengnen would have given this task to you. What do you think, Nimo?"

Nimo: "Of course I have no objection."

After successfully taking on this task, Bai Zhen also planned to give the two of them a transfer fee.

Of course, in the end, he was rejected by Ni Tai and Ni Mo.

Helplessly, Bai Zhen gave two pieces of meteorite fragments as gifts to the two.

Nimo held the meteorite in her hand and said in amazement: "That's amazing, I didn't expect you to really go to the universe."

Ai Cao heard that Nimo also had a shocked expression, and asked curiously: "Is it difficult to go to space?"

When Bai Zhen described it to her before, his tone was very relaxed, which made Ai Cao feel that people from the other world had the ability to travel to the universe at will.

Nimo: "Of course it's difficult. That's the universe. Even in our world, there may only be a few dozen humans who have been to the universe. And if this meteorite is sold, one gram may be sold for eight or nine hundred Alliance coins."

Eight or nine hundred Alliance coins per gram??! That’s more expensive than gold!
Ai Cao took a look at the meteorite weighing about five or six kilograms that Bai Zhen had given her before, and instantly realized that she had accepted an extremely expensive item.

Bai Zhen laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Meteorites are expensive because they are rare. I have a lot of them. If I take them all out, the meteorites will be worthless."

In order to let Ai Cao accept it with peace of mind, Bai Zhen also went through the task transfer procedures with Ni Tai.

Bai Zhen also successfully obtained a large amount of mission information.

In terms of time, Bai Zhen plans to set out to hunt the Jieyuan Zhentianyuan Tiger Dragon tomorrow!
If everything goes well, he will be able to obtain his first clone!
