Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 285 Sunbathing

In the ancient tree area, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, which had originally planned to go to an open area to bask in the sun and warm its body, suddenly felt the temperature in the air begin to rise in blocks. It immediately changed its slow pace, spread out its two strong thighs and started running.

Soon, as the temperature in the air became constant, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon also arrived at a stream in an open area.

At this time, monsters such as the Giant Thief Dragon and the Velociraptor were already wary of each other around the stream, and they each found a suitable place to lie down.

The Barbarian Jaw Dragon's roar with a silent echo made the big thief dragon run away in panic.

It lay comfortably on the grass that had just been warmed by the giant thief dragon, with its nasal membrane and heat dissipation membrane open, comfortably absorbing the rare warm weather in this winter.

Above the sky, Luo Yun activated the sunshine posture and soared freely above the clouds. The light and heat brought by the sunshine characteristics were unscrupulously spread over the forest land below, which was severely damaged by the ancient dragon war.

The remaining and newly grown trees greedily absorbed nutrients from the earth and grew rapidly in response to the suitable temperature.

Luo Yun didn't know why, but after repelling the steel dragon, looking at the dilapidated environment around the ancient tree, he instinctively stimulated the ancient activity, standing in the sky, causing the ancient tree area to warm up counter-seasonally and speeding up the ecological recovery of the entire area.

At this moment, Luo Yun, who was soaring in the sky, felt like he had become a part of the ecosystem, as if he had become nature. Layer upon layer of invisible armor was stacked around his body, and the whole dragon felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

After three hours, this feeling began to subside. After the fourth hour, it completely disappeared and Luo Yun naturally ended the sunlight state.

As the warmth faded, the monsters that had gone out to bask in the sun became wary of each other again and sank back into the forest. The sudden drop in temperature made them feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately their fur and scales had good warmth retention properties, enough to support them back to their nests.

In the dark, the members of the investigation team who observed this scene were also amazed. A group of scholars quickly took notes in their notebooks. Especially after hearing the accompanying leader say that this abnormal phenomenon was most likely related to the ancient dragon named Fiery Sun Dragon besides the ancient tree, they were all grateful for their decision to apply to join the ancient tree research base.

The leader of the third group took a pot of water from the clear stream, examined it carefully with a magnifying glass, and then brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

"Hiss, so cool~"

He took a deep breath, put on his woolen cloak tightly, and drank in small sips.

Unlike other scholars who plan to stay in the ancient tree ecology research base, the leader of the third group came here mainly for the ancient dragon-slaying spear, and also wanted to see how peculiar the legendary new ancient tree ecosystem is.

In addition, the hunter team that was tracking the steel dragon is now resting in the ancient tree camp. She needs to get first-hand information to decide her next plan.

The number of scholars coming to the New World on this trip exceeded expectations. After taking over all the research projects in the current Star Base, there are still a lot of manpower. Therefore, as the leader of the third group, she plans to open up new research projects, and the Steel Dragon tracked by the third group is her chosen target.

"Okay, we've rested enough, let's continue our journey and try to get to the Ancient Tree Camp before night."

After checking all around and making sure there were no threats, the Grand Commander gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Detel, who had returned with the group, waved his claws, and nearly ten thief dragons with baskets hanging on both sides of their bodies walked out of the woods.

The scholars rode on the backs, the cats squatted in the baskets, and under the leadership of the Grand Leader, they quickly headed towards the ancient tree.

Outside the forge, the mantis slowly raised its head, and a gleam of light flashed in its purple compound eyes. It slowly moved its joints, scaring the kitten sleeping on its joints and making it meow in surprise.

A silk net flew out and firmly caught the kitten that was about to fall to the ground. Under the exquisite power control of the mantis, the kitten landed safely.

I don’t know why, but the sunlight in Luo Yun seems to have a hypnotic effect, and the warm temperature is very comfortable.

The mantis, which loves sunlight and often relies on basking in the sun to maintain its body temperature, often falls asleep in the sun. These brave kittens will take this opportunity to climb onto the mantis and continue their lunch break in the sun.

After many times, Ge Mantis started to not care anymore.

Moreover, when these kittens are bored, they will clean up some mud and insects between the shells of the mantises. Therefore, gradually, the mantises seem to accept the existence of these little things.

Shiny~
The sound of metal mopping the floor was heard, instantly attracting the attention of Mantis.

Soon, a metal pillar that was nine meters long, one and a half meters wide and high was dragged out of the forge by the tools of the craftsman and Maomao.

Looking at the shiny silver-white metal, the extremely smooth surface and the very regular edges and corners, Ge Mantis's eyes lit up.

With a dragon roar, he trotted to the forge, hooked his forelimbs, and effortlessly grabbed the metal pillar in front of him.

Looking at the smooth surface that reflected himself, Ge Mantis couldn't let it go and looked at it bit by bit.

On the edge of the cliff, the kittens thrown down by the mantis didn't care about its actions. They skillfully found the worm thread ball nearby and started playing with each other in groups of three or two.

No kitten can resist a ball of extremely tough worm thread! No!!
"Ah, it seems our guests are very satisfied!"

The two muscular craftsmen, whose skin was dark due to staying in the high-temperature workshop for a long time, faced each other and said that their efforts in the past few days were worth it.

The parts of the ruins city that Ge Mantis brought were too large, and were basically made with ancient smelting technology, which meant that even just one of the metal pillars would require several days of secondary processing.

During this period, they still have to continue their daily work, so although there are not too many technical difficulties, the actual operation is still quite physically demanding.

After a careful observation and confirmation that there was indeed no flaw at all, Ge Mantis was a little at a loss.

This new part is so perfect that just like a child who gets a brand new toy, he is a little afraid of damaging it, which makes the perfectionist Mantis fall into a happy dilemma.

After a long while, he spit out a large amount of silk thread to wrap the metal pillar tightly to ensure that it would not be bumped during transportation. Then he looked at the two dark-skinned craftsmen.

After thinking for a while with its head tilted, it spit out a small ball of worm thread in front of them, then used its tail to lift the metal pillar and headed towards the temporary nest under the ancient tree.

The two craftsmen looked at the ball of worm thread in front of them that was almost as tall as them, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
