Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 179 The Grand Commander and the Black Dragon's First Meeting
Flying back into the sky, Luo Yun looked at the hateful flock of birds that were madly flying towards the corpses of the Barbarian Jaw and the Raptor. They were a black mass, wrapping the corpses tightly, but he couldn't feel happy.

"Why is this poor place so plagued by disasters?"

He complained in his heart, but did not choose to go back. Instead, he planned to take a look around to see what the situation was like, so as to determine whether it was the Tianhui Dragon or the Black Eclipse Dragon that spread the Mad Dragon Virus.

This is important!

The Black Eclipse Dragon, known as the shame of ancient dragons, has a strength that fluctuates between an ordinary large monster in a mesogenic niche and a 'policeman' when it does not activate its mad dragon transformation.

Because he has no eyes and can only rely on scales to sense living and non-living things, this guy will even fall into some very obvious traps.

But the Tenkai Dragon is different. As the final state of the Black Eclipse Dragon, it is a terrible monster that symbolizes the disaster of "virus". Its strength is also top-notch among the ancient dragons. And like the Flame King Dragon, it is the type that has almost no weaknesses.

Even the Nergigante may not be able to take down an ancient dragon of this strength. In the New World, if it weren't for the siege of multiple ancient dragons, or the emergence of those battle-hardened ancient dragons from the Dragon Crystal Land, among the ancient dragon-level monsters, perhaps only the special individuals of the Nergigante would be the one. Only the World-annihilating Nergigante would be able to kill the opponent in a one-on-one situation!

That’s right, it’s killing, not repelling!

Unlike the Mist Hazrat, the Tenkai Dragon causes almost irreversible destruction to the regional environment and ecology, and is not affected by the environment. Therefore, the world's attitude towards this guy is basically to kill it rather than repel it.

In a battle of that level, Luo Yun could probably only play a supporting role.

After flying around in the sky, Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no scales in the sky, and most of the monsters found on the ground did not seem to be infected with the mad dragon disease.

"It looks like a black dragon."

The concentration of the mad dragon virus in the Tianhui Dragon's body was extremely exaggerated. After spreading, it even reached the level of covering the sky and the sun, which was equivalent to directly creating an environment filled with scale powder and mad dragon virus.

The platinum scales of the Tianhui Dragon are the only ray of light in the dark abyss.

If the Black Eclipse Dragon is a little devil from the bottom of the abyss, then the Heavenly Dragon is an angel sublimated from these devils.

A big devil in angel's skin!
As for the Black Eclipse Dragon, it is not that scary for Luo Yun now. In fact, from a combat perspective, Luo Yun is naturally good against the Black Eclipse Dragon.

As everyone knows, the Black Eclipse Dragon is "blind". It is like a monster in an embryo that has not yet evolved eyes. Its senses are entirely based on the feedback from its scales. Visually speaking, it is a bit similar to infrared thermal imaging.

The scales of the Black Erosion Dragon are very afraid of fire. Even those scales that have no life energy to activate will be ignited and then evaporate when encountering fire.

Therefore, when faced with the appearance of the Black Eclipse Dragon, the Flame Dragon couple are often the main force in hunting the opponent.

The Black Dragons are like a cancer in the shadow of the world; they cannot survive under the sun.

Luo Yun and Yaji flew around in circles like this until the sunset dyed the evening glow red, and then Luo Yun reacted.

The Black Eclipse Dragon is different from the Tianhui Dragon. Its primary goal is not to spread the Mad Dragon virus to expand its population, but to ensure its own survival. Only by surviving can it undergo a very dangerous molting and evolve into a Tianhui Dragon. This is the most important thing for them.

Therefore, on weekdays, the Black Eclipse Dragon only lives in places where there are few creatures. It only comes to species-rich areas to hunt when it is hungry, and rarely conflicts with large monsters with high ecological niches. Usually, the Black Eclipse Dragon will only attack a large monster when its physical strength is greatly reduced due to an accident, or when it is in a weak period due to the Mad Dragon Virus.

Otherwise, he would only complete the day's hunt when night falls and his protective coloration takes effect.

Therefore, Luo Yun was flying in the sky that day, even if he just wanted to try his luck, it was almost a useless effort, because there was no way the Black Eclipse Dragon could appear here.

The darkness had basically no effect on the blind Black Eclipse Dragon, but for Luo Yun and Yaji, the darkness would greatly hinder their vision. So although they were somewhat unwilling, they finally returned to the ancient tree before the night completely fell.

In the same area, in almost the opposite direction, the Grand Commander and Tongut followed the strange scales and powder and found an area with very few species.

This area looked as if it had suffered a huge impact, as if two ancient dragons had once fought here. The trees, flowers and plants were all new, and there were even some charred materials on the ground that had not completely faded.

Along the way, the scale powder appeared intermittently, and the guide insects couldn't even find it.

If the captain had not been so careful and patient, they would have lost him long ago.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Tonkotsu, who had been hungry for the whole afternoon, was just about to suggest finding a place to rest, when he suddenly saw the Grand Leader making a gesture. He instantly calmed down and quickly came to the Grand Leader's side.

"What kind of monster is this?"

I saw a black dragon covered with a black shell like a protective color. Its head was structured like a poisonous snake, without eyes, and it had a pair of foldable tentacles on its head. The huge wings on its back were draped behind it like a cloak. It was digging the ground with its limbs in extreme pain.

The black scales that had been tracking him all afternoon were now constantly forming, falling off, and floating in the wind from his wings.

The bloody, ferocious wing claws would scratch his head and neck from time to time, and the strength seemed to be as if he wanted to tear open his skin and let the demon hidden inside break out.

"What, what is this, meow?"

With just one glance, Tonkotsu felt creepy, as if he had seen something filthy that shouldn't exist in the world.

This is the natural enemy of living things!
"Hiss, I feel like I've seen this guy's physical features somewhere before, but I can't remember where right now. However, judging from his skeleton, he is most likely an ancient dragon. Let's prepare to retreat."

The Grand Captain always felt as if he had seen the record of this dark guy in front of him in the guild's records, but perhaps there were too few records of this guy, so few that even a hunter like him didn't have much impression of him.

As for retreat, it was based on the most basic safety considerations.

No matter how powerful a hunter is, the first and most important thing is to be cautious.

Since we judged at the first moment that there was a high probability that the opponent was an ancient dragon, no matter whether the opponent's strength was strong or weak afterwards, at least at this time, when the opponent's information was unknown, retreat was the best option.

Those who rush forward without thinking when seeing an unknown monster may not even have ashes left.
