Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 315: Praying Mantis with a Raised Vision
Inside the ecological research base, the commander-in-chief looked at the young dragon scholars standing in a row and being reprimanded, and listened to the angry dragon roars coming from outside, and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Here's the thing.

Because the dragon girl "voluntarily" stayed behind the ancient tree for a long time, she happened to be strolling around and ran into a scholar who was studying ancient alchemy. She looked at the familiar symbols and words on the other's notebook.

The dragon girl, out of kindness, began to explain to him.

Although the Dragon Girls, as a combat sequence, did not have very high academic attainments, the texts recorded by this scholar, which were copied from the pile of "junk" in Ge Mantis, were what the Dragon Girls tribe came into contact with on a daily basis. By analogy, the research institute's research on the alchemy of ancient civilization was advancing by leaps and bounds.

And then something happened!

I don't know what a few young scholars were thinking, but after failing many times in replicating the alchemy on the ancient dragon-slaying spear, they suddenly got excited and started researching the ancient dragon-slaying spear again.

Then, because the ancient dragon-slaying spear was too old, the young scholars' 'targeted' operation accidentally destroyed one of its special nodes, causing the ancient dragon-slaying spear to completely turn into an ordinary large weapon with the appearance of a dragon-slaying spear.

Just at this moment, all the metals that Mantis brought had been processed.

Because of what he had seen and heard in the ancient tree during these days and being extremely satisfied with the processed metal, Ge Mantis simply abandoned the excavated stone and wooden parts and planned to build the future ruins city entirely with metal and the perfect wooden pillars provided by the cats.

With nothing left to process, Ge Mantis naturally came to retrieve his Dragon-Slaying Spear.

As a result, once he started using it, he discovered that this weapon, which had been so handy to him, no longer had the same penetrating and attacking power as before.

The anxious mantis observed carefully through its compound eyes and found the subtle difference.

When Ge Mantis realized that his Dragon-Slaying Spear was broken, he immediately got angry.

It has a high IQ and is not an ordinary monster. It immediately followed the clues to find the scholar who was responsible for researching the Dragon-Slaying Spear, and then the scene of blocking the door appeared.

Fortunately, the cats intervened to mediate and prevented Mantis from falling into a complete rage, otherwise a fight would have broken out long ago.

By then, whether Mantis will lose, whether the investigation team will suffer heavy losses, or even be forced out of the New World are secondary.

At least the ancient trees will definitely be severely damaged.

"Okay, stop everything. I'll go talk to the other party and see if there are any other solutions."

Scolding alone would not solve the problem. The Grand Commander had gained some experience from dealing with the fire dragons over the years and knew that only by resolving the issue quickly, while things were not out of control and the Detels could still be persuaded to act as mediators, could a greater conflict be avoided.

Although it is not the fire dragon that is blocking the door now, it seems that the other party has not lost his mind and rushed in. At least he wants to communicate first.

As for the fact that monsters would not have such thoughts, those were only directed at ordinary monsters. As the captain who had observed the Mantis and obtained a lot of relevant information from Detel, he knew very well that this special monster named Mantis by the Old World Guild definitely possessed such wisdom.

Outside the research base, although the mantis was chirping angrily and looked very angry, even attracting a bunch of fire dragons to watch, in fact, it was not as angry as it appeared.

All parts will wear out, and for the Mantis, who has been excavating old ruins for many years and using materials from ancient times to make parts, wear and tear is commonplace. This Dragon Striker Spear itself was something passed down to it by its mother, and its service life has long reached its limit. The Mantis is always very careful when using it in battle.

In the past, there were no conditions, and there was only one good thing, the Dragon-Slaying Spear. Now with the metals that have been smelted for the second time, Ge Mantis's vision has been raised so much that it doesn't even want other junk, let alone a Dragon-Slaying Spear that has already reached its limit?
I originally planned to ask those craftsmen to see if they could refurbish the Dragon-Slaying Spear. It wouldn't be a pity if it failed and was scrapped.

Unexpectedly, it was broken by someone in advance.

Ge Mantis was indeed very angry at that time. After all, being willing to suffer losses and suffering losses passively are two different things.

Later, under the constant persuasion of Mao Mao, the mantis that had begun to block the door accurately captured words such as "better craftsmanship", "more good things", and "can be compensated", which calmed it down a lot.

At this time, the vines were pulled apart, and the entrance of the vines, which seemed very narrow compared to the monster's height of several meters, was pulled apart. A guy who looked a little familiar walked out slowly and cautiously.

The Grand Commander saw that although the mantis was still chirping softly, it was not making any dangerous movements. From this point of view, it was at least a good thing.

He walked out slowly with a heavy heart, gave a kind smile, looked at the mantis that had stopped moving, and began to communicate with it through the cat.

Before coming out, the head of the group had already discussed with the head of the third group what kind of compensation should be paid, and was even prepared for bargaining.

As a result, after he translated it through Maomao, Ge Mantis agreed without any hesitation!

"You agree now?"

The Grand Commander always felt that something was wrong. According to the investigation team's internal assessment of Ge Mantis, this should be a monster with extremely high intelligence, but it is difficult to approach and communicate with, and its emotions are not as rich as Luo Yun's.

But now it seems that it is not that difficult to communicate.

Ge Mantis was very satisfied with the compensation from the Grand Commander. Not to mention the ten new metal pillars, just the fact that the other party was going to forge a new dragon-slaying spear for him made Ge Mantis satisfied.

As for the time issue that the Grand Commander mentioned, that’s just a small matter!
Although Ge Mantis is not an ancient dragon, as a dragon with its strength ceiling lifted and possessing ancient genes, it has an extremely long lifespan. Just like Luo Yun at this moment, for Ge Mantis, the least valuable thing is time.

As for wanting more, no matter how high the IQ of the Mantis is, it is still a monster that has never seen the world, so there is no such thing as negotiation.

If you are satisfied with the conditions, agree; if you are not satisfied, object. It is that simple.

It’s just that the commander-in-chief said that he needed Ge Mantis to go to the Star Base with him, but Ge Mantis didn’t care much about it. This was due to his confidence in his own strength.

Of course, the Grand Commander dared to let monsters other than the Fire Dragon go to the Star Stronghold together. In addition to his confidence in the defense capabilities of the Star Stronghold, it was more because of the existence of the Mist Dragon there.

Not afraid of an 'ordinary' monster causing trouble.
