Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 171 A Few Things Recorded by the Fire Dragon King
"Awake? Of course I am awake." The female compiler scratched her head and glanced at her own notebook, somewhat unable to understand what the old dragon scholar meant.

"Since you are sober, why are you making up stories? Don't you know that ecological investigation and speculation is a very rigorous matter? Look at what you wrote in your notes! I can accept such a bizarre thing if you change it to any other monster, but you chose a fire dragon! Can't you use your little head to think carefully, can these things be possessed by a fire dragon?"

The old scholar from Longren was almost laughing out of anger. He pushed his glasses up with a glare and said very seriously.

This female compiler was still very young, and he hoped that she could recognize her mistakes and not go astray at such a young age, so his words were a little harsh. Otherwise, according to the strange characteristics common to dragon scholars, he would not bother to say a word more.

But the old dragon scholar was wrong. The female editor held her notebook and widened her eyes.

She was not stupid. The old dragon scholar had explained it so clearly, so of course she could understand what he meant.

But these words made her very angry!

As an editor, you can say she is a burden, you can say she doesn't understand the situation, or you can say she is a fool who thinks she can't die fast enough.

However, we can never say that her record is fake!!

Even if she mixed some of her own subjective consciousness into the record description, this is not a reason to deny it!

So, even though the old dragon scholar was very respected in the investigation team, the female editor still broke through the defense and grabbed him, opened his notebook and insisted on getting an explanation.

Finally, when other staff members of the Biological Research Institute of the Star Base began to be affected, the old dragon scholar was really pestered and had no choice but to take over the notebook, intending to make this editor, whose "brain" seemed to be not so clear, recognize his mistakes!

"First, your description of the Fire Dragon tribe. The Fire Dragon tribe in the New World is indeed different from that in the Old World. It seems that they have developed a tribe-like nature. But look at what you wrote? The figure of the Fire Dragon King appeared from the cliff, and endless pressure descended upon the world. The fire dragons in the entire Great Ant Mound Wasteland lowered their proud heads and offered their loyalty to the Supreme Fire Dragon King!

Look, are you sure you are writing about a fire dragon? Ancient dragons didn't have such exaggerated descriptions, right?"

At this moment, the old scholar Longren spoke in a calm tone, but his voice revealed a hint of majesty. At this moment, he was like a strict teacher, holding a book of wrong answers and constantly correcting students' mistakes.

After hearing the attitude of the old dragon scholar, the female editor calmed down and whispered, "It's just embellishment. But the fire dragons really stopped making any sound when the Fire Dragon King appeared. The pressure was also real. My fellow hunters and I felt it. It was really terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, the old dragon scholar kept his gaze on the female editor for a long time. As a senior scholar of the Hunter Guild, he not only made outstanding contributions in ecological research, but was also an old teacher who had taught many students. Therefore, after confirming that the other party was not lying, he opened the book beside him and picked up a pen to take notes.

[The King of Ancient Tree Fire Dragons is suspected to have the ability to completely command the Ancient Tree Fire Dragons. His long-term leadership of the fire dragons has given him the aura of a "superior", which can even affect hunters.]

After writing, he turned the page of the female editor's notebook, pointed to a place under the stick drawing and continued: "Here, a group of fire dragons gathered together, which can raise the temperature. The ignited flames even ignited the sky and dispersed the white clouds. Alas~" The old dragon scholar sighed: "They are fire dragons, not ancient dragons. They don't have the ability to affect the sky."

The female editor blushed and was a little embarrassed. "This is also an embellishment. However, when the fire dragons gather together, the temperature will indeed rise. When the fire dragons are there, the settlement in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland will not be cold in winter."

"I know this. This special manifestation has long attracted the attention of the base. Through the soil we collected, we found that it contained fire energy far exceeding the normal value. We originally thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that the ancient tree fire dragon group may have really undergone some unknown changes."

[Ancient tree fire dragons are suspected to be able to attract fire energy, thereby transforming the environment where they live all year round to a certain extent. The specific reason is still unclear. ]

"Okay, let's take a look at this. The Fire Dragon King's body has undergone special development recently. Its wings are suspected to have mutated due to absorbing too much earth vein energy. They are more suitable for flying and also have the ability to control airflow. The scales on its body are beginning to turn silver-white.

Based on the investigation records in recent years, it is speculated that the Fire Dragon King is suspected to be a "special" and "battle-hardened" individual that is in the process of transforming into a rare species, with its body specialized for flight and fire, and possessing the ecological threat level of an ancient dragon.

Or maybe it is an unknown ancient dragon species that looks similar to a fire dragon and can lead fire dragons!"

The old dragon scholar read it word by word, and finally looked up at the female editor's eyes: "Are you sure you are not describing an ancient dragon? Moreover, the scales of the Fire Dragon King are also in stock in the stars. No matter from which aspect, the other party is indeed a fire dragon, not an unknown ancient dragon."

"Doesn't this mean that we should have independent speculations about ecology?" The female editor's voice became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that she also felt that her last sentence seemed a bit redundant.

"I asked you to speculate, not to make up something. Forget it. The first half is a reasonable speculation, so I'll write it down. As for the second half, you can read the notes of the seniors to see how they made observations and records."

The old scholar Longren didn't want to say anything more, so he handed the notes back to the female editor without saying anything harsh.

Everyone has a time to grow up. Since you are still young, you can read more notes of other editors. I believe you will know how a qualified editor should do ecological records.

The female editor took it, quickly put away the notebook, bowed to the old scholar of Longren with a red face, and ran away quickly. At this time, she was eager to find a gap to crawl into.

The old scholar from Longren shook his head, took note of the records, and read them again from beginning to end. The more he read, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why does this extracted information feel a bit far-fetched?

Is this really something a male Rathalos can do? Could it really be an ancient dragon that looks similar to a male Rathalos and can lead a group of Rathalos?
　I have been writing too late these days and need to adjust my schedule, so there will be no second chapter tonight. I will make up for it during the day tomorrow.

　　I'm so sorry~
