Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 225 Motherly Love? A Little

Xialong was totally unable to understand what happened last night. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with reproducing offspring, but it happened so many times in one night.

Stop and then fight, fight and then stop, isn't that tiring?
Back then, He and His spouse had to fight reluctantly only once every few days.

In the past few decades, it only laid two batches of eggs, which is considered highly efficient among ancient dragons.

Especially since the last time she successfully became pregnant, her partner was so happy that she rushed back to the new small ecological island next to the New World overnight to continue filling the necessary links of the ecology there, not knowing that the next time she would enter the breeding season would be decades later.

It is precisely because of such poor concepts that Xialong cannot understand the behavior of Luo Yun and Yaji. His weak sense of kinship and family concepts make him completely reluctant and indifferent to fighting.

For ancient dragons, except for the normal reproduction model that requires mating between males and females, and with the exception of a few special creatures like the Wind Dragon and the Thunder Dragon, breeding offspring is an extremely cumbersome task.

Even before the gestation stage, the male ancient dragon must inject his own seeds along with his life energy through the act of fighting.

During the pregnancy stage, the female ancient dragon needs to constantly mobilize her own life energy, reconcile it with the energy previously injected by her mate, and then transfer it into the embryo.

During this period, the output of life energy must be carefully controlled, and there must not be too much fluctuation, so as to avoid damaging the newborn embryo in the body due to excessive energy.

During this period, both males and females are in a state of high mental tension.

It's okay for the Xialong. Once the eggs are successfully laid, all the steps are basically completed. Next, the female Xialong only needs to wait until the egg shell is hard enough, then she can bury all the eggs in the soil, and then pile them with prepared leaves, rotten plants and other things, and then she can be a hands-off boss and go about her business.

Even so, one or two offspring can be successfully hatched from a batch of eggs.

For eggs like those laid by the Flame King Dragon couple, the temperature and concentration of life energy in the environment are quite demanding.

This also means that the Flame King Dragon couple needs to reproduce in lava areas such as volcanoes, where the life energy is relatively abundant.

After the eggs are laid, they need to be carefully cared for to prevent them from accidentally falling into the magma during an earthquake caused by a volcanic eruption.

Xialong glanced at the Luo Yun couple who were sleeping in the nest with lingering fear. He felt that staying here to rest last night was a very wrong choice!

He would rather find a corner under the ancient tree to rest for a night than endure a night of torture here.

"No, I have to go!"

Thinking about the unsatisfied look on Luo Yun and Yaji's faces at dawn today, Xialong shuddered all over, flapped his wings, and quickly left the ancient tree, flying towards the west of the ancient tree.

It was mainly because of the fight between Luo Yun and Yaji last night that Xialong, the hands-off boss, finally remembered that he still had a batch of eggs that had not been hatched.

It has been nearly three years now, and the nutrients in the rotten plants piled on the eggs have probably been completely absorbed, and the nest previously built for the future little dragons may no longer be usable.

The rare motherly love of the dragon decided to go back and take a look. If the baby dragon had already hatched, she would leave immediately. If it had not yet successfully hatched, she would continue to pile up some grass, tidy up the nest and then leave. Well, she still has motherly love, although not much.
At noon.

Luo Yun dragged his somewhat sore body out of the nest, looking at the ancient tree fire dragons flying by from time to time, and listening to the report of the fire dragon leader Detel. He also had a certain understanding of the development of the ancient trees during the period when he was away.

Overall, no major problems occurred, and the strength of the ancient tree fire dragon group was still steadily increasing. Because of the increasingly sophisticated small group hunting, the monsters in the deep areas of the ancient trees have now re-adapted to the different ancient tree fire dragon group.

The male fire dragons still obey Luo Yun's orders and patrol the area north of the ancient tree every day. After returning, they will eat some of the fruit-eliminating version of Fire Dragon Cat Rice developed by Egg Roll to prevent possible infection with the Mad Dragon Virus.

Nothing bad happened because Luo Yun had been away for such a long time.

According to the description of the fire dragon leader Detel, it seems that those powerful and battle-hardened fire dragons can vaguely sense the vital signs of their leader Luo Yun, and can roughly tell whether Luo Yun is alive or not.

It is precisely because of this special feeling that the battle-hardened fire dragons spontaneously organize and restrain the fire dragon group, which allows the ancient tree fire dragon group to still maintain such a high cohesion.

In addition, the Aoyinghuo couple who went out to the Star Base to treat the Crazy Dragon Disease have not returned yet. However, according to the descriptions of the cats traveling between the two places, the investigation team seems to have made some research breakthroughs on the Crazy Dragon Virus. They have used the Dispelling Fruit and some other things as the basis, combined with the magical dragon alchemy, to produce some theoretically feasible drugs.

Currently, Ying Huolong is testing those drugs as a drug tester.

Except for the fact that the Blue Fire Dragon would occasionally appear a little irritable because it had been confined in a place where there were not many of its kind, the relationship between them and the investigation team was generally quite good.

Finally, here are the new achievements made by the cats.

Speaking of this, the Fire Dragon Detel leader was very happy.

"Meow! We used the planting method given by the investigation team and planted various medicinal herbs and plants on the ancient trees based on the ancient trees. By applying fertilizers, we quickly accumulated a large amount of inventory. After continuous transactions with them during this period, we finally reached a new agreement, meow!"

Having said that, the Fire Dragon Leader Detel pointed to the top of the cliff next to the ancient tree.

"We are going to build a big windmill there! By using the strong wind from the cliff, we can improve our transportation channel in the tree meow! Then our Fire Dragon Tribe's Detels will be able to thoroughly serve all Fire Dragon Lords meow!"

"In addition to this, meow, we can also transport water from the lower layers of the ancient tree so that every Fire Dragon can have his own water reservoir, meow!"

Looking at the Fire Dragon Leader Detel's originally hunched body, he stood up again unconsciously while saying these words. In his old pupils, rays of light flashed, which were the lights of yearning for the future!

Perhaps even the Fire Dragon Detel leader himself did not expect that his choice to surrender just for the sake of the tribe's continued reproduction, and even preparing to serve as emergency food, would allow the tribe to grow to its current size.

The current fire dragons such as Detel are also one of the owners of the ancient tree!
