Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 282: Mantis: Really Fragrance
With the help of Xiangxun and the cats, Mantis finally chose the Dragon-Slaying Spear, which not only ensured his own combat effectiveness but also preserved the best parts. Under the guidance of the cats, he looked back every few steps and began to move towards the upper level along the climbing path of the ancient tree.

"By the way, meow, you also need to bring this meow!"

Suddenly, Xiangxun thought of something. She took out a fire dragon's identity scale from the material bag on her back, and quickly climbed to the top of the part that was hung on a long pillar by a mantis silk thread.

"Just hang here, so you won't conflict with the Fire Dragons, meow!"

Xiangxun clapped his paws and was too lazy to jump down. He just squatted on the top of the parts, meowing and showing the way to Mantis.

The remaining cats could only get on all fours and run hard to keep up with the mantis's speed.

Glancing at the fire dragon scale with some disdain, resisting the urge to throw the scale away, Mantis quickened his pace.

Along the way, the figure of the Mantis was completely exposed. Facing the vigilant and even somewhat hostile gazes of the fire dragons that occasionally discovered it, the Mantis had no extra emotions at all.

They are just a group of flying reserve food. If it weren't for the fact that there are often female fire dragons delivering those beautiful materials and cats to the ancient ruins basin, just those fire dragons with hostile eyes can be skewered by Mantis with his Dragon-Slaying Spear!
As we passed through the long passage inside the tree, the sunlight fell on the mantis again. In the bright field of vision, there were groups of cats and those familiar wooden buildings.

Especially the cable car that the cats were repairing, the wooden stakes and gear parts, which made the mantis open its eyes and its forelimbs itchy.

I really want to tear it down and turn it into a ruined city!!

Realizing that Mantis was unconsciously approaching a cable car station, Aromatherapy immediately shouted, trying to wake up the fascinated Mantis.

The cats who were repairing the cable car node were startled by the sudden appearance of the mantis. They took out the rescue horn and were about to blow it when they heard the continuous meowing of Aromatherapy.

Fortunately, although it liked this cable car node and the surrounding buildings very much, the mantis was still able to restrain itself. In the panic of Xiangxun's reminder, it finally retracted its forelimbs.

"If that forge can't fix its own ruins city parts, then come and dismantle these!"

Controlling his restless heart, Mantis walked towards the upper level again while Aromatherapy breathed a sigh of relief.

As we got closer to the tree canopy, more and more cats gathered around the mantis.

They were all curious about this big guy they had never seen before, especially when they heard that it was the producer of the special silk thread that had saved the fire dragon eggs and brought huge profits to the cats, which made the cats feel more familiar with it.

Except for the cats on patrol at the edge of the road who had prepared stink bombs and flash bombs.

"Hu~~"

A gust of wind blew by, Xiangxun raised her hand to block it, and then saw a silver-white figure flying by.

"Ah, it's Fire Dragon Boss meow!!"

Xiangxun exclaimed in surprise, "The Fire Dragon Boss is fine, that's the best thing!"
Flying down from the tree canopy and planning his daily patrol of the territory, Luo Yun heard Xiangxun's call. Originally, he didn't care about such a small matter, but for some reason he chose to turn his head to take a look.

As a result, when he looked over, he found the huge golden beetle. "Oh my god, Ge!!"

His wings trembled slightly and he almost lost his balance. Luo Yun created a gust of wind pressure and forcibly stopped his dive. He looked in surprise at the mantis that was surrounded by cats and whose emotions appeared stable.

"Why is the mantis here?"

Luo Yun’s mind was full of this question. It was not that Ge Mantis was too powerful, which made Luo Yun too afraid.

No matter how powerful the mantis is, it is still a monster that cannot fly and does not have particularly long-range attack capabilities. As long as it does not engage in medium or close-range combat, even an ordinary fire dragon can successfully escape.

However, this guy's destructive power is comparable to that of a super giant ancient dragon!
If you go crazy on the ancient tree, you can really tear it down!
Mantis turned around and looked at the giant silver dragon hovering in the air. Listening to Xiangxun's voice, he confirmed that the other party was the 'Fire Dragon Boss' that Xiangxun and other cats had mentioned the most over the years.

That is, it is the occupier of this giant tree. The whole tree is its territory. The forge that Mao Mao mentioned can process the parts of its own city is also its. It is also the one that gave the order to send it the perfect shaped materials in the past two years.

Forge + give yourself a lot of perfect shape materials + the leader of the cats = good dragon!

So, with Luo Yun's surprised expression, Ge Mantis thought for less than a second and actually imitated Aromatherapy, raising its forelimbs and waving at him continuously?

This gave Luo Yun a bit of a loss.

Is the mantis such a friendly creature?

There were too few descriptions of the Mantis in previous games, and the setting collections all revolved around the abilities and destructive power of the Mantis, and were basically told from the perspective of the human scribes.

All we know is that to humans, the mantis is more dangerous than an ancient dragon, and its destructive power can even exceed that of a super giant ancient dragon.

After all, even a super-giant ancient dragon can simply cause destruction to human towns and fortresses, but a mantis will demolish all the buildings. Even a professional demolition team may not be as efficient as a mantis.

As for what the mantis' attitude is towards creatures other than humans, that is unknown.

Therefore, in response to the friendly appearance of Ge Mantis, Luo Yun thought for a while and opened his mouth to roar.

Hearing Luo Yun's voice, the cats surrounding Ge Mantis were stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran towards the cable car repair site.

Seeing that the cats understood what he meant, Luo Yun took a deep look at the Mantis and the pile of Xucheng parts wrapped with silk threads that were supported by its palm-like tail. The parts were almost as big as the Mantis itself. Luo Yun had no doubt that these parts could be pieced together to build a mechanical beast with a body length of more than ten meters.

He spread his wings and flew back to the tree canopy, abandoning his original plan to patrol the territory. He needed to stay in the ancient tree to prevent no creature from being able to stop him when the mantis decided to destroy his home.

Ge Mantis was originally a little confused as to why Luo Yun left after calling out, but as the cats dragged two rectangular wooden pillars over, Ge Mantis let out a contented dragon roar.

Just a friendly wiggling motion resulted in two perfectly shaped pillars, so fragrant!!
　Another sacrifice!!
