Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 260 The End of the Scratching Bird

Just as Xialong fell into self-doubt and was dozing off on the edge of the platform, in a very secret passage inside the ancient tree, a battle-hardened bird was stealthily shuttling through a tunnel covered with vines. Relying on the points it had visited for three consecutive days, it skillfully bypassed one fork in the road after another.

The level of vigilance of the ancient tree's upper levels was beyond the imagination of this battle-hardened bird. A few days ago, because the injuries from being beaten by the Thousand Blade Dragons had not yet fully healed, it accidentally made some noise and was discovered by that group of hateful cats.

Led by a big cat carrying a hammer, the cats rode on the thief dragon and chased it for most of the day, meowing!

It wanted to fight back, but strangely, it couldn't defeat the cats! !
Unable to defeat the Thousand Blade Dragon, the Fire Dragon, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, and even the Venom Bird, these battle-hardened birds all admitted defeat.

But now, it can't even beat a cat!
This time, it really became the bottom monster of the ancient tree forest.
However, this little setback could not crush the battle-hardened Niao.

If you can’t beat him, then so be it. He hasn’t been killed yet, has he?

As long as it is not killed, it will never give up the idea of ​​looking for rare dragon eggs.

The battle-hardened bird came to a fork in the road, but did not rush forward. Instead, it squatted next to a group of poisonous mushrooms in the dark corner of the fork in the road and pecked a few of them into pieces.

After a while, a team of cat warriors from the ancient tree fire dragon clan, armed with small daggers and riding on thief dragons, passed by the fork in the road.

The smell of the scratching bird was masked by the smell of the poisonous mushrooms that it had deliberately pecked and crushed nearby, and the thief dragon under the cat did not smell any strange smell.

As the patrol team left, the scratching bird walked out with arrogant steps, exerted force with its powerful legs, and jumped into the passage blocked by vines on the opposite side of the fork in the road.

This is a passage that has not been discovered by Mao Mao, which leads directly to the top floor of the ancient tree, the platform where the steel dragon temporarily lives.

Other monsters are afraid of ancient dragons, so the scratching bird is naturally afraid of them as well. However, when it thinks of the eggs of the ancient tree fire dragons, this little fear can't stop the restless heart of the battle-hardened scratching bird.

As long as you reach that platform, you just need to bypass the intricate tree canopy and you can get to the residence of the fire dragons under the canopy without being noticed.

If it could steal an egg, it would eat it on the spot!
As for how to escape from the furious female fire dragon's pursuit, the battle-hardened Sao Bird had not thought about it. Anyway, he had already eaten everything by then, so he could just leave the rest to fate.

As long as he could eat the rare eggs, dying was worth it. This was never a joke for this battle-hardened bird.

The half-asleep Xialong's tail moved slightly, almost causing the little Xialong who was hugging his tail as a pillow to fall down.

Xialong ignored his son's resentful look, sniffed, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

I was so bored that I wanted to kill time by sleeping, but unexpectedly, toys were delivered to my door.

"This smell is that of an egg thief!"

Xialong stood up, and soon, white mist covered the platform.

The group of female fire dragons in the sky who were worried about their eggs and the cats patrolling around the platform were all wondering: why was there fog again when it wasn't long since the last time the white fog appeared?
However, due to Luo Yun's order, Long and Maomao did not rush in in panic.

After a while, the bright crest of the battle-hardened bird appeared on the platform. As a vine was violently broken open, the bird's cunning head poked out from the vine.

Before my eyes could adjust to the surroundings, I smelled a faint scent of medicine.

The smell of the medicine was not pungent, but for some reason, the bird suddenly felt a little drowsy.

After shaking his head vigorously to shake off the uncomfortable feeling, the bird opened his eyes again.

The sight in front of it suddenly made the bird excited. What did it see?
A pile of dragon eggs that no dragon wants, neatly placed in a simple nest!!
“I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all!!”

Drops of saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth. Although the scratching bird was shocked by so many fire dragon eggs, out of caution, it still raised its head and looked around to see if there was any fire dragon nearby.

The sky was sunny and clear blue, without even a cloud.

It was quiet all around. Not even a single flying creature was there, let alone a fire dragon.

Although Sao Niao felt something was wrong deep down, after all, the surroundings were too quiet.

But stimulated by the pile of fire dragon eggs in front of it, it suppressed the doubts in its heart.

At this moment, it only knew that there were no fire dragons around! Not even one!!
Although he didn't understand why the fire dragon put all the eggs on this platform, he was not afraid of angering the wind dragon who suddenly wanted to live here for a while in the future.

But this does not affect the bird's subsequent behavior.

He exerted force with his legs, violently breaking through the vines that were wrapped around his body, and with a leap, he landed in the center of the pile of fire dragon eggs.

Relying on its many years of experience in stealing eggs, it quickly locked onto several large, shiny fire dragon eggs.

He picked it up and pecked it gently with his huge beak.

The hardness of the eggshell is beyond the bird's imagination!

This abnormal hardness did not arouse any suspicion in the battle-hardened bird, but instead made it even more excited.

As we all know, the more powerful the creature, the harder the shell of the egg.

The ancient tree fire dragons have all mutated, so isn't it normal for their eggs to become hard?

Thinking of this, the battle-hardened bird violently broke the eggshell without hesitation and began to peck at the egg liquid inside.

At this moment, next to the battle-hardened bird, a pair of invisible Xialong mother and son were looking at the battle-hardened bird with bright feathers. At this moment, it was holding a stone and pecking at it constantly. The soil in the stone was swallowed by it, and there was an intoxicated expression on its face.

It seems that he is very satisfied with the meal!

Seeing that the stone was about to be pecked clean, the little dragon curled its tail and threw a stone mixed with mud at the feet of the battle-hardened bird.

Seeing the battle-hardened bird with a very surprised look on its face, hugging the stone and starting to peck at it, the mother and son both showed a wicked smile in their eyes.

No monster in this world would have a good impression of a creature like the Scratching Bird.

If it weren't for the fact that the Scratching Bird is not very dangerous and most of the time it only targets the eggs of herbivorous dragons, which does not have any negative impact on the ecology, the Scratching Bird would have become extinct long ago based on its ecological habits.

Seeing that the bloodshot in the bird's eyes became increasingly heavier after it ate the mud on the third stone, Xialong realized that it had almost reached its limit.

There was no emotion in the pair of big eyes, watching coldly as the battle-hardened bird blankly dropped the stone in its hand, staggered to the edge of the platform, and then showed an expression of excitement as if it had grabbed the egg and was being chased, leaped up, and smashed into the clouds below.
