Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 147: The Unusual Thousand Blade Dragon Attacks (4.5k)

When Luo Yun heard Tonkotsu come back excitedly and tell him that Danjuan had met the basic requirements to become a hunting cat, he felt that perhaps he had underestimated the changes that the symbiotic characteristics had brought to the cats. He did not expect that in addition to the flames, even their physical fitness had been strengthened.

You know, all the warriors of Fire Dragon Detel have been tested before, but except for Tongut, none of them has the qualifications to become a hunting cat.

Danjuan is the first cat to mutate due to symbiosis, but he will definitely not be the last. Perhaps as time goes by, the Fire Dragon Detels will usher in a wave of population-level enhancements.

Luo Yun was quite happy about this.

But while I am happy, I also have some doubts. From what I can see so far, the symbiotic characteristics have brought enough boost to the cats, but there is no improvement for myself.

Although it was a good thing for me in the long run that my fanatically loyal cats were promoted, I always felt that something was missing.

Luo Yun always had the idea that this feature might be more than that simple, but he just had no clue at the moment.

As time passed, the mutation of Egg Roll was like a door that was finally opened. Subsequently, more and more Fire Dragon Detels acquired the same mutation. This group of cats accounted for one third of the entire Fire Dragon Detel population.

As for the remaining cats, although their paw prints had turned dark red and their physical strength had been slightly enhanced, nothing else had happened, they were still successfully distinguished from the ordinary cats of the ancient tree fire dragon clan.

After some publicity, the fire dragon Detel, whose body color had changed, once again raised his status among the cats of the ancient tree fire dragon clan, and even had the right of priority in choosing a mate.

Luo Yun didn't know much about these changes. After the initial excitement about the cats' strange changes, he became a little indifferent when he heard the news later.

There is no longer the desire to see everything and hear the other person's feelings as at the beginning.

Compared to Luo Yun, the investigation team was much more enthusiastic, including scholars who wanted to know why the Fire Dragon Detel mutated and what differences occurred after the mutation.

We are still in urgent need of replenishing our combat power, and have been looking forward to the ancient tree fire dragons increasing in number so that we can form the top level of the investigation team of the Cat Mercenary Agency.

They were very enthusiastic about the sudden addition of so many Fire Dragon Detels with cat hunting qualifications.

In this atmosphere, a group of cats from the Wasteland Guardian Clan deep in the wasteland came to the residence of the fire dragons. After watching the fire dragons coming and going in this area in fear and trepidation, they also witnessed how the ancient tree fire dragon clan got along with the fire dragons and how the cats were raised.

The Wasteland Guardians originally wanted to meet with the investigation team to discuss the cat car support, but for some unknown reason, they changed their mindset and asked to meet with the ancient tree fire dragon leader Detel.

Upon hearing the news, Fire Dragon Detel leader looked at the group of thin cats and narrowed his eyes.

"Detel of the Wasteland Guardian Clan seems to have his own unique way of survival and fighting, meow, and our clan hasn't had any new members for a long time, meow."

Looking at the wise Detel, the fire dragon Detel leader said with a smile.

The wise Detel understood immediately and nodded. "There is still one-third of the fire dragons who are not taken care of by Detel. We are indeed short of manpower. Besides, the food in the wasteland is always different from that in the forest. The new partner must know how to cook those thorny cacti to make them delicious."

Just like that, the two most intelligent and experienced cats among the ancient tree fire dragon clan intercepted a group of ignorant wasteland country cats without any psychological burden.

Big anthill wasteland, deep in the desert.

Luo Yun swooped down and killed a panicked female Crown Dragon, and the remaining Crown Dragons around him fled in all directions.

Luo Yun skillfully used his sharp claws without any concern, tearing off the layer of scales and skin on the belly of the Crowned Dragon, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Soon, a female Corythosaurus was almost eaten, and the remaining parts basically had a hard cuticle. Even if it was brought back to the nest, the cats could not pick out much meat. It was better to save their energy and see if they could be luckier and catch new prey in this area again.

Flapping its wings, it returned along the same route and returned to the place where it had discovered the group of crown-headed dragons before. Just now, Yaji had captured one first, so she stayed there to enjoy it, while Luo Yun continued to chase it.

When Luo Yun returned there, he found that Yaji was flying in the air, roaring at the sand below.

Luo Yun noticed with his sharp eyes that in the middle of the sand below, the body of a female Cretaceous Dragon, which had just been eaten a few bites, was still lying there quietly. It was obvious that Yaji had not taken a few bites before something caught up with her.

Seeing Luo Yun returning, Yaji growled at Luo Yun, expressing her intention to fight, and then dived towards the corpse of the Guantulong, as if she wanted to grab the corpse of the Guantulong and fly away.

But then, as Yaji got closer and closer to the ground, the sand below began to tremble, and then a huge ochre-colored figure rushed out from the sand.

The terrifying pair of horns crashed straight into Aki.

Yaji, who was well prepared, turned her body and avoided the attack of the ceratosaurus, flying diagonally to the sand on the side.

The attack missed, and the ceratosaurus let out an angry roar. Red lines appeared faintly on its huge horns, and some black smoke dissipated from the corners of its mouth.

This is the manifestation of the Ceratopsus entering combat mode and fully unleashing its own strength.

Looking at the ceratosaurus that had discovered him but was roaring at him and Yaji without any intention of retreating, Luo Yun finally understood why, with Yaji's strength, she was unable to carry away the body of the crested dragon by herself.

Although the monster Ceratopsus occupies the same ecological niche as the male Rathalos, you have to know that this is the ecological niche it occupied when it could not fly.

In this world, the gap between those who can fly and those who cannot fly is huge. The fact that a non-flying dragon species can have a similar ecological niche is enough to show the strength of the ceratopsian.

And this is indeed the case. The simplest example is the black ceratosaurus, a ceratosaurus that is completely black. It cannot even be considered a subspecies of ceratosaurus. It is just that the female ceratosaurus is pregnant, her body color turns black, her temper becomes more violent, and her fighting mode becomes more crazy.

This will make even an ecological destroyer like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which eats everything, afraid of it and choose not to conflict with it, and thus retreat.

Just from this we can judge the strength level of the Triceratops.

But at this moment, Luo Yun, whose temper was much more irritable than before, did not hesitate at all.

Without any warning, Luo Yun directly dropped a fireball, blocking the ceratosaurus's vision while closing the distance. Another short and quick burst of flame swept across the ceratosaurus's body.

When the ceratosaurus dodged subconsciously, he swung out his sharp claws, grabbed the ceratosaurus' wings and lifted them up with force. It felt like he was lifting a heavy truck, and the weight was beyond Luo Yun's imagination.

The ceratosaurus was almost knocked to the ground by this blow. It staggered sideways and took several steps back. Before it could stand firm, Yaji's dragon chariot rushed over.

The spines on the wings collided with the horny scales of the ceratopsian covered with sand and gravel, making a harsh sound.

She dodged the attack from the ceratosaurus by turning her head, bit the disc on its neck, and pulled hard, causing the ceratosaurus to fall to the ground.

Luo Yun took the opportunity to grab the body of the horned dragon with his flaming claws. With the flapping of his huge wings, he actually lifted the huge creature directly into the air, and then the flammable liquid flowed down his claws. With a roar of explosion, the horned dragon slammed heavily into the sand pile.

Before Yaji could rush up to finish off the horned dragon, who had fallen to the ground with obvious marks of the explosion on his body, it did not lose its ability to move, but recovered quickly. Before Yaji rushed up, its pair of huge wings quickly dug out a large amount of yellow sand, blocking their view, and at the same time, it drilled into the ground against the explosive fireball spit out by Luo Yun.

Without Luo Yun's reminder, Yaji, who had sufficient experience, took off decisively, far away from the ground, and did not give the ceratosaurus a chance to attack from underground.

The earth fell into silence, but Luo Yun knew that the horned dragon was lurking in the sand. It took a set of attacks from Luo Yun and Yaji, but still had enough strength to burrow into the ground to launch a counterattack, and it didn't even have any intention of escaping.

This is the vitality of the horned dragon.

Yaji flew to Luo Yun, and looked at the calm sand below side by side with him. She called out softly, intending to use herself as bait to lure out the ceratosaurus, and then Luo Yun would launch an attack.

But Luo Yun thought about it and stopped Yaji.

"You like digging into the ground, right?"

In order to launch attacks from underground, the hearing of the Ceratopsians was enhanced over time. Therefore, hunters often use a prop called sonic boom bomb when hunting Ceratopsians, which is used to force the Ceratopsians out after they burrow into the ground.

Although Luo Yun does not have something like a sonic boom bomb, he has a way to achieve the same effect.

Luo Yun spit out a continuous stream of small fireballs, which kept falling onto the sand below. In an instant, the sand was blasted open one after another amidst the continuous and intensive explosions like firecrackers.

Yellow sand was flying all over the sky, revealing the rocky wasteland beneath the sand.

The fireball that Luo Yun spit out did not have much power, but the explosion was very loud. The sound caused by the explosion in the wasteland was no less than that of locking a person in a closed small dark room and throwing a string of firecrackers in to the ceratosaurus.

Under such noise, the ceratosaurus with sensitive hearing could no longer bear it. It rushed out of the ground with a bang and roared at Luo Yun angrily.

Luo Yun didn't bother to pay attention to the roar. Since he had forced it out, he would naturally attack again.

Who would have thought that after the roar, the pupils of the ceratosaurus shrank, and it actually buried its head in the ground again, looking like it had no intention of fighting at all.

When Luo Yun wanted to repeat the same trick, he keenly observed a slight undulation on the ground in the yellow sand, and it was moving away at a very fast speed.

This horned dinosaur actually stopped fighting and chose to retreat.

Luo Yun felt something was wrong. In the past, when he encountered a ceratosaurus, it would not leave until the opponent was exhausted too much physical strength or the degree of injury was beyond expectations. But this time, it just left without any notice.

However, Luo Yun did not think much about it and just left. After he let go of his hostility, the acceleration characteristics that immediately dissipated also showed that the ceratosaurus really left and it was not a feint.

He called out to Yaji, asking her to go down and see if the prey was still edible. He just flew in the air, constantly scouting the ground to prevent any danger from approaching.

Yaji landed on the ground, dug out the body of the Crowned Dragon from the yellow sand, picked it up with both claws, took off from a low altitude, and shook it vigorously, shaking off most of the sand and gravel stuck to the body, then began to eat it without any disgust.

With the fire dragon's digestive ability, it can even digest some ores, let alone this mere gravel.

At this moment, three Thousand-Blade Dragons with bronze scales flew out from the clouds in the distance.

When they broke out of the clouds, they immediately spotted Luo Yun and Yaji below. The leading Thousand Blade Dragon swooped down without any hesitation, throwing several blade scales towards Luo Yun.

At this moment, Luo Yun's sixth sense gave a crazy warning, and the acceleration characteristic was triggered immediately afterwards.

He subconsciously flapped his wings and turned his body vigorously, narrowly avoiding several blade scales. However, he never expected that these blade scales were too dense, and several of them still fell on his body, and then exploded without warning. The scattered sharp scales actually broke his defense, leaving streaks of blood.

"Something's wrong!"

The battle with the ceratosaurus just ended not long ago, and the scales strengthened by Jiao Xiang's body have not yet completely softened to their normal state.

His defense shouldn't be able to block the blade scale fragments that cause secondary damage after the explosion.

Luo Yun descended quickly without any hesitation, avoiding the attack of the Thousand Blade Dragons that were already very close. When he was close to the ground, he drew an arc, and the gust of wind he stirred up brought with it yellow sand. He flew back into the air and looked coldly at the three Thousand Blade Dragons.

Seeing this, even with Luo Yun's current psychological quality, he couldn't help but be shocked!
Not only are the sizes of these three Thousand Blade Dragons much larger than normal Thousand Blade Dragons, with a body length of about 25 meters, but more importantly, their scales, which should have been bronze in color, now have a silver metallic feel. Although the color depth varies due to individual differences, except for the one on the left, the other two have only just transformed.

But this appearance means that in these short two years, these three Thousand Blade Dragons that migrated from the Old World have not only completely adapted to the environment of the New World, but have even absorbed enough life energy to become battle-hardened Thousand Blade Dragons!

With such an unreasonable growth rate, should we say that it is worthy of being a monster that can migrate to the New World? After adapting to the environment, it can achieve a breakthrough in such a short time?

Of course, if it was just a battle with the Thousand Blade Dragon, Luo Yun would have nothing to be afraid of. Together with Yaji, they were fully capable of fighting two against three.

But the problem is that the Thousand Blade Dragon in the center is not just a battle-hardened monster.

Although it had only just begun to become a battle-hardened monster, its size was larger than the other two battle-hardened Thousand Blade Dragons. The most crucial thing was that its chest, the joints of its wings, and its giant tail that was covered with sharp blades and looked like a broom were all wrapped in an ominous black mist.

At this moment, the feeling that this battle-hardened Thousand Blade Dragon gave Luo Yun could only be described in two words.

"violent!"

Unlike the Thousand Blade Dragon that was infected with the Mad Dragon Virus and eventually overcame it to become an extreme individual, the Thousand Blade Dragon in front of Luo Yun was calm enough in its rage and was even observing Luo Yun's burning body.

"Become fierce!"

Luo Yun thought about it carefully and finally realized what the state of this special Thousand Blade Dragon was!

The extreme transformation is due to the mad dragon virus of Tenkai Dragon, but the ferocious transformation is completely untraceable. It just appears very abruptly and is widely present in monsters in various ecological niches.

Unlike the Mad Dragon Virus that consumes vitality and even causes loss of sanity, the ferocious monsters will become more violent and excited, and their tempers will explode at the slightest provocation, but they will still have a certain degree of sanity.

Compared to this insignificant side effect, the increase in ferocity brought to the monster is quite exaggerated.

It's like having endless physical strength, higher muscle activity, stronger vitality, more abundant energy, etc. It's like the monster has been completely and significantly enhanced from top to bottom.

And now, this Thousand Blade Dragon, which has become ferocious and can even fight across ecological niches, has once again gained a boost in its life energy. With its battle experience and ferocity combined, it can actually hold on. This is truly incredible!
