Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 261: Arrival of Scholars
The group of thief dragons that were foraging at the base of the ancient tree suddenly heard a loud noise. When they quickly crawled along the roots of the tree, they saw a mass of rotten meat scattered in a pit.

A strong smell of blood slowly fell along with the blood mist that had not yet completely dissipated.

A group of thief dragons stepped on the blood mud and rushed towards the slightly intact pieces of meat. They wanted to eat enough before other foragers arrived following the smell of blood, otherwise there would be no share for them.

Thank you for the gift of nature!

On the top platform of the ancient tree, the white mist dissipated, and the female fire dragons landed one after another. They checked the condition of their eggs, and when they found nothing was wrong, they breathed a sigh of relief, paced slowly, and continued to patrol around vigilantly.

For the battle-hardened bird, this ending is probably a relatively good one. Although it is fake, before it died, it still "tasted" the delicious food that it had never tasted in its life, right?

The little episode of scratching the bird finally relieved the boredom of Xialong and his mother. At this moment, little Xialong was lying on Xialong's back, looking at his old mother's eyes, which were full of shining little stars.

The ability to manipulate a creature unconsciously and make it act completely according to what you have planned is simply amazing!

As the sun in the sky gradually set, a new group of investigation team members arrived at the ancient tree.

The Grand Commander brought the Fire Dragon Detel warriors to the lower level of the ancient tree to pick them up. Looking at this group of scholars who were dusty, dirty, and even had tattered clothes, the Grand Commander didn't know what to say.

He wanted to blame the two hunters who served as guards, but seeing how miserable their appearance became, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ah~~ Why are you so embarrassed?"

The craftsman who had eaten dinner at the Seat of Fire Dragon and Cat returned to the camp. Seeing the appearance of this group of scholars, he subconsciously asked.

"Well, we were attacked by an electric dragon on the way here. Most of the pterosaurs were killed or injured, and we fell from a high altitude. If we hadn't happened to fall into a creek, we would have probably been killed right away."

The deputy director of the Institute of Ecology explained it to the group leader with lingering fear.

When they learned that Xialong had accepted the mission, the Ecological Research Institute immediately selected a group of people, issued escort missions, summoned two hunters, and hurriedly rode on pterosaurs. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the outskirts of the ancient tree area, they were attacked by an electric dragon.

Fortunately, there was a stream as a buffer, and the two hunters were really strong. They repelled the electric dragon and then rushed over on foot.

"Has Xialong solved the problem of the fire dragon egg?"

Before the commander-in-chief could say anything, the deputy director asked anxiously, they came here just for Xialong, if the matter has been resolved, then wouldn't all the suffering they have endured in the past few days be in vain?
"Ah, well, maybe you guys came at the right time!"

Although some people complained that these scholars were taking such risks, after all, there were only a few scholars in the first and second groups combined. Any loss would be a major blow to the current investigation team.

However, their arrival is indeed a good time. Whether the stagnant relationship between the investigation team and the ancient tree fire dragon group since the Great Ant Mound Wasteland can be further improved depends on these scholars.

The deputy director was a little confused, but after the group leader explained the situation one by one, the scholars began to get excited. What is the most frightening thing about doing scientific research?
No projects!

Isn’t the project here?
The next morning, on the big platform.

A group of scholars were blocked by female fire dragons in front of the only passage. If these scholars who were chattering non-stop had not held a fire dragon's identity scale in their hands, and if Detel had not been following them, these sensitive female fire dragon ladies would have launched an attack long ago.

Luo Yun's nest. Luo Yun, who originally planned to go out hunting with Yaji, was blocked by the commander. When he learned that a group of scholars from the investigation team came, he flew directly to the big platform without hesitation.

Xialong walked out slowly from the medicinal mist and saw the scholars on the edge of the platform at a glance. He wondered why they appeared here. Weren't they afraid that those female fire dragons who looked bad-tempered would suddenly have a brain spasm and spit fire at them to death?

At this time, Luo Yun's figure flew up accompanied by a strong wind. After a dragon roar, the group of female fire dragons stopped looking like they could attack at any time. Then, under Luo Yun's command, they reluctantly made way.

Without any obstacles, the scholars rushed to the edge of the medicinal mist without any hesitation. The deputy director took out a small bamboo pot and collected some of the medicinal mist with shining eyes.

"Is this the white mist that the Grand Commander mentioned, which can sustain the life of the fire dragon eggs? It's really amazing. I didn't expect that the Mist Dragons could actually do this. Are the Mist Dragons of the New World and the Old World so different? Or are the Mist Dragons of the New World also mutated differently from those of the Old World due to the special environment here, or are they simply special individuals?"

The deputy director muttered to himself, but his hands moved quickly and he quickly collected three small pots of medicinal mist.

Seeing that the white mist covering the fire dragon egg would not dissipate for a while, a group of scholars sat around the edge of the mist and began to analyze the information they had collected from yesterday to today.

Just as the scholars began to use their imaginations and discuss their own solutions, they did not know that a dragon was lying next to them, listening to what they said.

When he heard that a scholar's speculation was too outrageous, he would shake his head. When he heard a more reasonable solution, he would roll his eyes and fall into deep thought. It seemed as if the whole dragon was also participating in the discussion.

It was not until one of the young dragon scholars put forward a point that Xialong suddenly couldn't help but croak out.

This scholar not only analyzed the current problem, but also had preliminary ideas for solving the problem!

The cry startled the scholars. They thought Xialong was in the medicinal mist, but they didn't expect that He was right next to them.

But why did Xia Long suddenly speak up? Did he think that the scholar was right?

In order to verify this idea, the scholar reorganized his words and repeated his idea again in a tone of excitement that was somewhat difficult to suppress. When the scholars heard the quack again, they immediately became excited.

There is no need to make any other speculations, just start the discussion around this scholar's ideas.

As time passed, the medicinal mist dissipated, and the scholars impatiently gathered around the fire dragon egg, observing the fire dragon egg while further improving the treatment method that had just been discussed.
