Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 314: Development of New Features and New Tricks

When Hao Huolong saw Luo Yun's return, he looked refreshed. He was not confused like He Huolong. He thought that since he had made such a big noise, he must have defeated his opponent.

Its, or rather the entire group of fire dragons', trust in Luo Yun was established through battle after battle.

Even if he didn't bring back any trophies as proof, it wouldn't matter. They would just think that Luo Yun had thrown away the enemy's bodies and wouldn't think anything else.

It just so happened that this 'gift from nature' that it received in less than twenty minutes of being out was just right for celebration.

Looking at Hao Huolong happily delivering food to Luo Yun, He Huolong rarely had any thoughts, as if this was a matter of course.

Seeing that Luo Yun did not reject him, he took the initiative to growl and lowered his head in front of Luo Yun.

At this moment, on the energy pyramid of symbiotic characteristics, the energy ball representing the He Fire Dragon slowly emerged on the second layer. This unruly female fire dragon Hao Huozhong finally became a member of the ancient tree fire dragon group at this moment.

Inside the nest, Yaji was biting the soft flesh on Zhanlong's belly, while Luo Yun was looking at the rain outside the nest. He seemed to be thinking, but actually he was checking the panel.

He didn't expect that even though the boss didn't assign any orders, after he dealt with the Furious Tyrannosaurus, the progress bar for extracting the characteristics was filled up again.

It can only be said that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is treated similarly to the Tenkairus in the world, and both are unwelcome existences.

The 'reward' brought by the ancient dragon-level monsters is indeed sufficient. After filling up the progress bar, there seems to be some surplus, which increases the progress bar for extracting the next special effect by a full one-third.

[Multiple scales: As the body's vitality becomes stronger, the growth of scales increases, and the metabolism of new and old scales speeds up, thus achieving multiple scales and greatly enhancing defense capabilities, reducing the absorption of various types of damage.]

How can I describe this characteristic? If it weren't for the presence of a shell on his forehead, his brows would have been furrowed by now.

The effect of the characteristic is very good. Originally, Luo Yun's scales had very strong defensive power. After it was activated, with the secondary enhancement of the scorched body, he could even take a tail swing from a power monster like the Furious Tyrannosaurus Rex and could not sustain much damage.

The existence of the mysterious scales further reduced Luo Yun's absorption of abnormal status and attribute damage. When fighting with the steel dragon of Gulongdu, he could withstand several cuts from the wind field.

Now that he has multiple scales, how strong is his defense now?
Even if it is not as good as those ancient dragons with specialized defense, it is still unique among ordinary ancient dragons, right?

However, what worries Luo Yun is whether these additional scales will affect his ability to fly.

This is a big problem!

More scales mean a substantial increase in weight. Compared to higher defense, he prefers faster speed and more agile flying ability. After all, there is a time when defense can be broken, and a fast enough speed can find the possibility of victory while saving his life.

Besides, what’s the difference between a flying dragon with poor flying ability and a salted fish?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this characteristic had more disadvantages than advantages. The irritability that I thought I had vented by killing the Tyrannosaurus Rex surged out of my heart again.

It spread its wings impatiently, and with a few crisp tinkling sounds, a few scales fell off.

"Is this the beginning?"

According to Luo Yun's experience, generally speaking, such direct effects on normal physical characteristics will take some time to complete the changes in his body.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly this time.

This made Luo Yun, who was already in a bad mood, even worse. He waved his wings angrily and closed them again.

At this moment, several silver lights shot rapidly towards the basalt wall on the side, making a crisp collision sound and leaving several white marks.

Upon closer inspection, they were actually a few silver-white scales, and at this moment, one end of the scales still had a red color that had not yet faded due to the high temperature.

Luo Yun, noticing this, felt somewhat puzzled and walked to the scales to examine them carefully.

Only then did he realize that when he flapped his wings in anger just now, some flammable liquid had inadvertently seeped out of his combustion glands and hung on the ends of his scales.

In the past, the fluid would simply be reabsorbed and not fly out with the falling scales.

Because of the new characteristics of multiple scales, the metabolic rate of Luo Yun's scales increased, which caused the flammable liquid to be blown out before it had time to be absorbed.

The combustible liquid is already very flammable and is directly ignited by the friction between the scales and the air.

It was just that there was too little flammable liquid on his scales, and what was ignited by Luoyang's combustion glands was the robbery flame, so his scales only turned red due to the high temperature.

But what would happen if Luo Yun intentionally controlled the secretion of flammable liquid and allowed it to soak into the scales to a large extent?
Or to put it another way, when the scales are used as a carrier and a large amount of flammable liquid is injected, is there any hope?
There are already organisms that have answered this question.

That’s right, it’s you, Explosive Dragon!!
However, Luo Yun’s scales are not as thick as those of the Explosive Scale Dragon, and the flammable liquid is more powerful and seems to be less stable.

Plus, he has other characteristics that can be combined to develop new moves.

There seems to be a large range of feasibility here!
This discovery instantly calmed Luo Yun's inner irritability. Just like a child who got a new toy, he excitedly began to use his imagination.

The development of a trick is naturally not something that can be done just by thinking about it. It requires time and testing to complete. And what he lacks the least right now is time.

On the contrary, in the seemingly endless life in the future, developing various tricks using these characteristics will probably become his main way to pass the time and will accompany him throughout his life.

After all, Luo Yun couldn't be like other ancient dragons, spending all his time in boredom except for maintaining his role in the ecosystem.

Yaji gulped down a mouthful of the not-so-good-tasting meat, tilted her head and looked at Luo Yun with her deep blue eyes, whose mood was fluctuating. She was somewhat used to it.

After all, every few times when he goes out and defeats powerful enemies, Luo Yun always becomes like this for a period of time.

Don't worry about it, it will recover naturally with time.

Thinking of this, Yaji tore off another piece of meat and swallowed it whole.

You need to replenish your physical strength to face the next battle!

On the ancient tree, outside the Ancient Tree Ecology Research Base, a golden mantis was waving its sickle-like forelimbs and chirping towards the inside. If it weren't for several cats, including Xiangxun, who were constantly persuading and stopping it, the mantis would have already cut through the vines that were in the way and rushed in.
