Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 245: A piece of metal was dug out? The mantis appears
"Woof!!"

The anxious barking of the hound sounded again. The falcon frowned, and before he could turn around to check, he pounced forward.

A ball of fire exploded instantly, and sparks fell on his back. Although he was protected by armor, the temperature still made Falcon feel hot on his back.

He quickly stood up and saw a flash of a knife swinging around and slashing at the injured Swift Dragon.

Amidst the splatter of blood and flesh, the Swift Dragon was knocked flying by the powerful force.

Zhanlong turned his head to look at the falcon and the vigilant fang hound, and roared threateningly.

"what's the situation?"

Falcon felt something was wrong. Although there were various powerful monsters in the depths of the ancient tree forest, and the closer to the ancient trees, the more and stronger the monsters were, it was not possible for him to encounter a swift dragon and a dragon-slayer at the same time in such a location.

The route from the Star Stronghold to the Ancient Tree and the location of the camp have all been strictly planned, and each section of the road has undergone various surveys to ensure not only safety but also to ensure that there will not be too many monsters encountered on this road.

Even if they encounter an enemy that they cannot avoid, there will often be a whole team of hunters who will go ahead and drive the monster away.

Therefore, the appearance of a velociraptor here is already a bit unusual, but since the forest is so large, it can be explained by accidental events. But what about this dragon-slaying creature?
"Roar!"

Seeing that the falcon showed no sign of retreating after his roar, the irritable Zhanlong impatiently took the initiative to attack.

Just as Falcon took a deep breath and prepared to fight a second battle, a rustling sound of grass being quickly pushed aside was heard.

The next second, a strong figure leaped in front of Falcon with a huge shield standing in front of him.

The tail blade scratched the shield, making a sharp sound and leaving only a shallow mark. The shield bearer didn't even take a step back.

The spear thrust out before Zhanlong's attack was completely finished. With a muffled sound, it directly penetrated the scales on Zhanlong's thick thigh, leaving a bloody hole in it.

Zhanlong cried out in pain and staggered a few steps to the side, his thigh trembling slightly because of the pain.

He looked at the Grand Commander and Falcon unwillingly, and after letting out an angry roar, he just walked away towards the depths of the forest without looking back, dragging his scarred body.

At the same time, the Swift Dragon, which had just been attacked by the Dragon Slayer, also recovered. The scarlet in its eyes disappeared. After regaining its sanity, it also disappeared into the depths of the forest in a few leaps.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling slowly, the Grand Commander put away his weapon, looked at Falcon who was carrying the katana on his back, stretched out his palm like a palm leaf fan, and patted the other's shoulder in praise.

"Your performance just now was great. You have mastered the sword!"

The Grand Commander had already arrived when Falcon and Swift Dragon were fighting. He had taught the other party before and had hunted together with him, so the Grand Commander was very clear about Falcon's strength. In addition, the Swift Dragon had multiple injuries on its body, and it was obvious that it was fighting Falcon with its injured body. In this case, even if Falcon used a katana instead of his more proficient double swords, there would be no problem.

Falcon did not respond. Denglong was left alone, and the Grand Commander saw it all. His mind was filled with shame.

"If the teacher had used that attack just now, it would definitely not have missed!"

Falcon thought so in his heart.

As someone who had experienced this, the Grand Commander naturally knew very well the mental state of the sword user after his air blade cut through the air, and he did not say anything more.

Later, when Denglong has more free time, he will get used to it.

"However, two monsters appeared in succession, and both were injured. What happened in the forest?"

Squatting down to pick up a bloody scale from the dragon, the Grand Commander looked into the depths of the forest.

During this period, the Ancient Tree was very busy. Every day, cats would climb up and down the tree, building various infrastructures. Sometimes, even the thief dragons that helped to move things would get so tired that they would lie on the ground and foam at the mouth.

The first group of cats who went out to collect resources returned successfully, which made all the cats in the ancient tree fire dragon clan very excited. Especially when they saw the pile of supplies they brought back, it made them determined to expand the resource collection team.

"Next time, we can prepare to have the thieves set off together, meow!"

Tonggu dug out a piece of "ore" still covered with mud from the pile of supplies on the ground, weighed it, and said to his father.

Suddenly, its claws paused, and it looked at the "ore" in its hand with some confusion.

It popped out its claws and quickly dug away the dirt on the surface. It blew hard and found that there was metal inside, not the ore it thought!

"You guys, where did this come from, meow?"

Steak took the piece of metal handed to him by Tonkotsu, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"I don't know either, meow. I don't have any impression of such a thing, meow."

"That, I dug it out, meow." At this time, the follower cat with a small shovel on its back suddenly spoke.

Seeing a group of cats looking at it, it explained weakly, "I dug it out accidentally when we were collecting ore! The detector reacted and I thought it was ore, so I put it in the backpack."

The cats looked at each other, some of them unable to understand.

The detector was purchased from the investigation team and can be used to detect some common metal ores. Of course, already formed metals can also be detected.

However, in Maomao's impression, before the investigation team arrived in the New World, only the Strange Faces Tribe in the forest possessed simple metal smelting methods. However, since the hardness and toughness of ordinary metals and dragon bones were not much different, the Strange Faces Tribe, who had entered the Metal Age, did not have much of a gap with Detter in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Forget it, meow, don't think too much about it, meow, this is a good thing, meow."

The readily available metal, although somewhat decayed, was much easier to process than ore.

After thinking for a while, Fire Dragon Leader Detel gave the order for the resource collection team to start searching that area in a focused manner.

Whether this piece of metal is accidental or not, we only need to search to find out.

If it wasn't an accident, that would be even better. It would allow the windmill and cable car to be built faster, which is a great thing!
So, with this idea in mind, the lump of metal was thrown back into the pile of materials.

The Cat Material Collection Team began to form the second team, and this time the trained thief dragon was added to it.

At this time, a 15-meter-long monster, covered with gorgeous golden shell, with a head structure like the statue of an Egyptian pharaoh, huge purple compound eyes, three legs on each side of the body, and an overall shape like an orchid mantis, was walking slowly in the woods.

One by one, the threads were wrapped around its tail, and driven by the silk threads, a pile of wood, stones and building debris were wrapped into a ball and dragged behind it.

These things plowed deep marks on the ground, which shows how heavy they are, but the mantis can drag them through the woods very easily, which shows how exaggerated its strength is.

Looking down from a high altitude, we can know from the movement trajectory of the mantis that the direction it is heading is actually the same as the destination of the cat resource collection team.
