Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 383: Crystal Butterfly

The real owner appears!

As soon as Luo Yun appeared, he attracted the attention of all the mutated gnawing insects. They felt the scorching energy like the scorching sun, an unknown energy that originated from the same source as in their bodies but was more condensed and abundant. It instantly touched the nerves of these mutated gnawing insects.

Without the need for the queen insect to give any orders, the swarm of mutated gnawing insects flapped their wings and rushed towards Luo Yun at a rapid speed.

The gnawing insects are very fast, but for Luo Yun, it is just that. It’s just that based on Luo Yun’s current strength, he doesn’t need to dodge when facing these insects.

He spread his wings slightly, and blue-purple flames instantly covered his entire body. Under Luo Yun's exquisite control, the flames only wrapped around him but did not ignite the surroundings.

But facing such a Luo Yun, who was now scattering ice-blue scales as he flew rapidly and the mutated gnawing insects that flickered in the sunlight, rushed into the flames one after another like moths to a flame.

The next second, Luo Yun's originally calm pupils shrank, and he felt the touch of a foreign object on the scales of his body.

These insects, which seemed to be creatures not from this world, actually managed to touch his scales despite such severe flames.

"How can it be!"

In an instant, Luo Yun's body reacted. His wings vibrated at high speed, the airflow was compressed rapidly, and the temperature of the flame continued to rise. He planned to flap his wings to shake off the insects.

But the next second, a very pure life energy with a little Tai crystal energy was injected into his body.

Although compared to Luo Yun’s current total life energy which is like the ocean, this amount of energy is somewhat insufficient.

But what is undeniable is that as more and more mutated gnawing insects rushed into Jie Yan, the total amount of life energy in his body also increased slightly with the continuous injection of pure energy.

Therefore, Luo Yun suddenly stopped the action he was originally planning, and under the somewhat nervous gazes of Tonkotsu and the others, he took the initiative to release his flaming body.

As the calamity flames dissipated, Luo Yun's condition at this moment also appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, the mutated gnawing insects were clinging to Luo Yun's silver scales. Their needle-like beaks, which looked very soft and fragile, successfully broke through the surface of the scales and penetrated shallowly into the scales.

The mutated gnawing insect injected all the life energy it had refined and stored into its scales, which was then absorbed by Luo Yun's energy cycle.

Some mutated gnawing insects lost their vitality and fell from Luo Yun's body with their wings becoming almost gray and transparent.

The mutated gnawing insects that did not lose their lives were also dying at this moment. They flapped their wings hard and swayed around Luo Yun, looking like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

In less than ten seconds, these mutated gnawing insects completed their mission and flew away from Luo Yun's body.

After a careful count, they had already lost nearly one-third of the mutated gnawing insects on the road, and now they had lost more than half of them!

But even so, the huge queen insect that had been flying in the air did not show the slightest sadness. Instead, it gently flew to Luo Yun's feet, folded its wings, and quietly stuck to Luo Yun's claws, like a pendant.

"What's going on, meow!"

Xianggua, who had been staying in Luo Yun's nest with the ancient dragon prophet and the others, watched this scene, and his little brain was somewhat unable to understand it.

But when the strange thing above its head appeared again, it knew without the other cats reminding it that the bug had climbed onto its head as a decoration again.

"Is this impossible to get rid of, meow?" Xianggua wanted to cry but had no tears. Luo Yun's body trembled, and the scales bitten by the mutant gnawing insects fell off with a sound of metal collision, making a tinkling sound. The film hidden under the scales quickly expanded and hardened, and grew into new scales in a very short time.

Looking at the mutated gnawing insect queens that took off again because of his actions but were flying around him, Luo Yun seemed to understand what they did and had some guesses about their origins.

After all, this behavior of absorbing and refining energy, and then supplying it to the host regardless of life and death, is indeed very recognizable.

What's more, a characteristic that has always existed but has a very low presence flashed on the void panel again, making Luo Yun unable to ignore it.

[Symbiosis: Slot 1 (Ancient Tree Fire Dragon Tribe Deter)

Slot 2 (Ancient Tree Fire Dragon Group)

Slot three (none)]

At this moment, it is the third slot of the symbiotic characteristic that is flashing!
Luo Yun had already figured out the requirements for symbiosis a long time ago, but over the years, except for the symbiosis between cats and fire dragons in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland, this characteristic no longer had any reaction. Normally, Luo Yun would not pay any attention to it except judging through the energy pyramid that the fire dragons in the ancient tree fire dragon group had made good progress.

Unexpectedly, at this time, this feature came out again to show its presence.

Opening slot three, new information suddenly appeared inside.

[Mutated Gnawing Insect: A gnawing insect that has undergone a huge mutation due to unknown energy and can coexist. (Note: Due to certain changes at the genetic level, it can be renamed)]

With the evidence from the panel, Luo Yun's guess was correct. These beautiful-looking insects were actually gnawing insects!
But, isn’t this change too big?
Not only did it change from a 'meat eater' to a 'vegetarian eater', but even the way it supplies energy to the host has undergone tremendous changes.

To be honest, if it was the original gnawing insect, Luo Yun would really dislike it, even though gnawing insects are indeed helpful to the symbiotic host.

And now, this mutated gnawing insect, which has undergone a drastic change, does not seem to be unacceptable.

As for the side effects such as the insect bites that would bring out the violent emotions deep in the monster's heart, and the insect poison, Luo Yun did not feel the slightest bit of abnormality.

“Maybe you can give it a try!”

Looking at the queen insect with a group of weak mutated gnawing insects flying around in front of him, as if showing off herself, Luo Yun silently filled in slot three.

In an instant, the Taijing energy in Luo Yun's body was like a bond. It was impossible to see it with the naked eye, and he could only connect with the mutated gnawing insect queen by sensing the flow of energy.

Unlike before, Luo Yun realized as soon as the connection was completed that he seemed to be able to command these mutated gnawing insects in front of him, and could even judge some information through the vibration frequency of the queen insect's wings.

With his wings vibrating slightly, Luo Yun instinctively imitated the communication method of the mutated gnawing insects and issued an order.

All they saw was that the mutated gnawing insects that were originally flying in disorder folded their wings in unison and landed on the ground. Even the queen insect, the real ruler of the insect swarm, obeyed Luo Yun's orders.

“Nature is truly amazing~”

After saying this silently in his heart, Luo Yun let out a low roar from his throat.

"From now on, your new name is - Yaojing Butterfly!"
