Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 284: New achievements of Mantis Pavilion, achieved

The scholars' reaction did not surprise the commander-in-chief. After exchanging a glance with the grand commander, he calmed down these excited scholars according to the plan he had prepared in advance.

The extra quota of scholars for the third group this time was not only based on knowledge reserves, but also involved some physical tests.

These extremely favorable research conditions in the New World have made some scholars feel overwhelmed. This incident not only caused a sensation in the Old World, but was even specifically mentioned in the news brought by subsequent liaison ships from the New World.

Therefore, the scene before him was not a problem for the commander-in-chief who had been well prepared.

Just when the Star Stronghold was experiencing a rare lively atmosphere, on the ancient tree.

Xiangxun walked out of the forge with her head down. On the edge of the cliff, the mantis, which was resistant to high temperatures but hated fire, tilted its head, somewhat unable to understand Xiangxun's emotions at the moment.

The reason why Ge Mantis came to the Ancient Tree this time was originally to fulfill the request of the Aromatherapy Staff and to help the Ancient Tree in the battle. The help from the Forge in processing the spare parts for the Ruined City was a reward.

But now, because they arrived a step late, the original remuneration has become something that they need to pay out of their own pockets to pay for the labor costs.

The forge is not a building that the Detels are responsible for independently. Even the cats that have mutated are not suitable for forging work. The high temperature is secondary. The main problem is the problem of strength and skills.

Therefore, the forge on the ancient tree is an institution established mainly by the craftsmen of the investigation team, assisted by Detel. Therefore, the cross-operation model of money and investigation points of the star stronghold is also implemented here.

In addition to being responsible for the various buildings on the ancient tree, the maintenance and repair of hunters and cats' weapons and protective gear is also one of the main tasks of the forge.

Although most of the metal parts from the ruins city that Ge Mantis brought only needed rough processing, these parts were not only numerous but also large.

After a rough calculation, the resource collection team's investigation points were not enough to pay, which made Xiangxun feel a little ashamed, and she didn't know how to explain to Ge Mantis for a while.

Just as it was gathering up the courage to explain to Mantis, two scholars slid down the vines in a hurry. When they saw Mantis, they were stunned for a moment, then remembered the purpose of their trip and quickly ran into the forge, shouting loudly as they ran.

"Dragon-striking Spear, where is the ancient Dragon-striking Spear that Detel mentioned in the message?"

When Xiangxun saw the two scholars running in excitedly, she suddenly felt that things might be taking a turn for the better. After saying hello to Ge Mantis who was confused, she ran into the forge again.

Next to the blazing fire, two scholars with shining eyes reached out to touch the ancient dragon-slaying spear, whose surface was bumpy but the tip was still sharp, observing and recording.

"Yes, it is indeed a dragon-slaying spear from ancient times. Although its appearance is different from the dragon-slaying spears currently unearthed in the Old World, its main structure is the same. This shows that the New World once had an ancient civilization, and it was even connected to the ancient civilization of the Old World. If we can study the alchemy technology and activation structure on it, the defense capability of our base in the New World will be greatly improved."

The two dragon scholars were very excited. It must be said that for long-lived dragons, choosing to become scholars is really a unique advantage. They already have a good IQ, and their long lifespan allows them to be exposed to many aspects of research. Every old dragon scholar can be said to be a walking library, knowing a lot about all aspects. "Where did you get this dragon-slaying spear? Is there any more information?"

After a while, the scholars came back to their senses and asked the craftsmen in the forge seriously. Then they saw a cute Detel jumping there with its paws raised.

"Meow, I know meow!"

The scholars looked at each other and walked towards the aromatherapy.

After some friendly negotiations, a report letter submitted to the Star Base was soon sent out with today's resource transport team. Someone was responsible for the processing costs of all the Xucheng parts brought by Ge Mantis this time. Of course, the cats in the resource collection team needed to help pay attention to the mechanical weapons and other things that might be left behind in the ancient ruins when they went out to collect resources.

"Meow~ I'm afraid Sister Mantis is not used to someone investigating her, and that place is already her territory, meow. I'm not sure if Sister Mantis will agree to let us go there to do archaeological research, meow, but if there's a gift, I should be able to do it, meow."

As Xiangxun finished speaking, the two scholars also felt that they were a little impulsive. The beetle-like monster that looked like a mantis was not a fire dragon, although judging from the way it got along with Detel, it was a relatively friendly monster.

But from a safety perspective, they knew nothing about this monster, so they naturally couldn't just rashly approach it.

Everything needs to be considered carefully. Let's wait until the support from the Star Base arrives.

The scholars who figured this out did not dwell on it any more. After paying the corresponding investigation points in the name of the Ancient Tree Ecology Research Institute, the forge began to work. However, according to the agreement with Xiangxun, the scholars also needed to conduct their research on the Dragon-Slaying Spear in the forge to avoid causing misunderstandings from Ge Mantis.

Mantis saw Xiangxun coming out of the forge again, but this time its mood was obviously different from before.

After Xiangxun's explanation, Ge Mantis also knew that it would take a lot of time to process his materials. To be honest, if he had not seen that the scraps that Xiangxun had taken away had really changed, Ge Mantis would not have been at ease leaving his Xucheng parts in the forge.

Even so, Ge Mantis still plans to settle down in front of the forge for a while.

Fortunately, Xiangxun kept persuading him, and he gave up the idea. He took Xiangxun back to the ancient tree, took the parts that he had piled in the ferns, and then built a temporary home by laying a net inside the roots of the ancient tree, at a passage between the lower and middle layers of the ancient tree area.

So, for a long time afterwards, a strange landscape appeared on the ancient tree.

Under the group of fire dragons flying back and forth in the sky, there is a mantis. Except for occasionally going out to hunt, it often stays on the edge of the cliff outside the forge for the whole day in a daze. A group of young Detels who seem to have no idea what fear is often surround the mantis, happily playing with balls of worm thread, which are very valuable in the eyes of the investigation team.
