Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 319: The Departed Steel Dragon, the True Appearance of the Miasma Valley
The Steel Dragon's retreat naturally attracted the attention of the Nergigante that had been chasing it. But when he was happily planning to catch up, completely destroy the Steel Dragon, and have a good meal, an ancient dragon suddenly appeared and blocked the way of the Nergigante.

This behavior made the Annihilator very angry. It roared and tried to break through the blockade of the ancient dragon, even at the cost of resisting his attack.

But the result was that just as one ancient dragon broke through its interception, another one appeared.

The condition of the old steel dragon was clearly seen by many ancient dragons who had lived in the Dragon Crystal Land for many years. Normally, they would not care how the Nergigante chased other ancient dragons, but now they could not do that.

The old steel dragon has reached the end of his life and voluntarily goes to the place of slumber to greet his own death. After his death, his tremendous life energy will be transformed into nutrients for the new continent.

The Dragon Crystal Land serves as the turning point of the earth vein corridor and is also the place for precipitation and dissipation. It can be said that half of the Steel Dragon's life energy will remain here, turning into extremely pure dragon crystals, benefiting all creatures in the entire Dragon Crystal Land.

Therefore, the ancient dragons would not allow Nergigante to hunt Steel Dragon at this time, even if it would be targeted by the petty Nergigante later.

In the end, Nergigante could only watch as Steel Dragon's back turned into a small black dot and finally disappeared completely from his sight.

Seeing this, the ancient dragon blocking the way also quickly left. As long as the Steel Dragon does not emit his breath in the future, the New World is so large and the Miasma Valley is even more complicated, the Destroyer Dragon will never have the chance to find him again.

boom!
Above the crater, an irregular boulder flew high up, and then fell heavily into the still stable magma in the distance.

The Fatalis was screaming at the top of its lungs as it continued to destroy everything around it. Its wings, tail, and giant horns were madly smashing the surrounding basalt. Gray-black volcanic ash flew everywhere under such destruction, forming a black mist that covered the crater.

No living creature knew what was happening there, and the flying dragons passing by could only hear the roar of a dragon from the volcano, which sometimes whimpered and sometimes roared violently, like the roar of a dragon from the devil of the abyss!

The flying dragons passing by were so frightened that they flapped their wings faster and quickly fled from the crater.

The departure of the steel dragon also attracted the attention of another dragon.

That is Luo Yun.

As luck would have it, Luo Yun, who was a little irritable because of the decrease in pheromones, went out for a walk and happened to meet a passing steel dragon.

With just one glance, Luo Yun could tell the Steel Dragon's current condition.

"Is this what an ancient dragon looks like when its lifespan reaches its end? It seems a bit miserable."

Luo Yun felt a little depressed.

In his perception, the steel dragon at this moment clearly had no obvious injuries on its body, but the life energy in its body was somewhat uncontrollable and kept overflowing from its mouth and the cracks in its shell.

It was as if the Steel Dragon's current old body was no longer able to store so much energy. The life energy that the ancient dragon should have been able to control was now actually making the Steel Dragon's decayed body expand like a balloon that could explode at any time.

It can be said that every time the steel dragon flaps its wings, it will feel extremely uncomfortable due to the restlessness of the massive amount of life energy.

Not only that, the life energy also ensures that the Steel Dragon's spirit is in an excited state, which allows him to be aware of the decay of his body at all times. This is undoubtedly a double physical and mental torture for the ancient dragon who has been arrogant for countless years.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the ancient dragons were willing to die after realizing that there was no hope of breaking through their lifespan. Compared to such days, death has become the best way for the proud ancient dragons to get rid of their worries.

Out of curiosity, after Luo Yun figured out the steel dragon's route, he first returned to the nest to say hello to Yaji and the others, and asked them to stay in the nest as much as possible during this period of time. It is best to hunt nearby, although few ancient dragons visit the basalt area.

But now is the active period of ancient dragons. Even if their strength is combined, they will not be afraid of ordinary ancient dragons, but it is better to be cautious.

Then, he mobilized the strong wind to speed himself up, and after re-locking the position of the steel dragon, he hung far behind him.

The Steel Dragon seemed to be aware of Luo Yun's presence, but at the moment he no longer had the energy to care about it.

Relying on the call from the unknown, we flew over one volcano after another and finally arrived at the cliff of the Grand Canyon.

Without hesitation, it folded its wings and dived headfirst under the coral plateau.

Seeing this, Luo Yun quickened his pace and hurried to catch up.

This was his first time truly entering the Miasma Valley.

The previous time, we only flew over the miasma area of ​​the Miasma Valley and did not actually enter it.

This time, Luo Yun watched the steel dragon rush into the thick miasma. After it disappeared from his sight, he gritted his teeth, mobilized the dragon energy of the mysterious scales to cover the scales, and rushed in as well.

Before these microorganisms could get close to Luo Yun, they were blown away by the wind pressure from the fast flying aircraft. Those that managed to get close would be destroyed by the high temperature and dragon-attribute energy.

For most creatures, the miasma, which is no less severe than the slow death virus, cannot cause even the slightest effect on Luo Yun.

After diving at high speed, it quickly broke through the miasma and arrived at the bottom of the Miasma Valley.

This area, which has always been obscured by thick miasma and has the worst environment in the entire New World, has now come into Luo Yun's sight.

The entire area is almost entirely made up of the corpses of animals, plants and terrestrial corals. The excessive number of corpses has even formed a large number of white microbial communities in the middle and lower layers that are created to decompose the corpses. The microorganisms that gather together like white mist are the so-called "miasma".

No miasma spores are needed, these corpses are the best breeding grounds, and excessive accumulation of corpses will easily lead to the gathering of miasma, and this is the job of the Hazak, the master of the Miasma Valley.

He will absorb the miasma, store it in his parotid glands, and then evenly transport it to every corner of the Miasma Valley, so that the "internal circulation" system of the entire new world can operate more stably.

The harsh environment here also makes it extremely difficult to obtain food, which is no less than the Dragon Crystal Land.

But there are quite a lot of monsters here!
The limited food resources make the food competition here extremely fierce, but it is also this extremely cruel and fierce competition for survival that has allowed the number of monster corpses in the Miasma Valley to accumulate in large quantities. In addition, the ancient dragons also come here to sleep. Under the long-term dual combination, the "internal circulation system" of the entire new world has been successfully completed in one area.

It can be said that the death of creatures in the Miasma Valley led to the birth of new life in the entire New World.
