Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 389 Mobile Research Base
The speech of the leader of the Third Regiment was unanimously recognized by the top leaders of the investigation team. Therefore, after the commander-in-chief's summary, the Star Stronghold began to allocate its limited manpower to encircle and suppress those monstrous monsters.

Obviously, the results are encouraging. With the efforts of the investigation team and the intelligence from the Detels, the guardians of the wasteland, they have successfully confined the monstrous monsters to the swamp area.

According to the Ecological Research Institute, it is sufficient to limit the environment to this extent. In the absence of external interference, the rest can be left to nature to self-regulate.

However, a drunk hunter had previously claimed that he saw Nergigante feeding gnawing insects from other monsters at night.

Yes, gnawing insects, this is the name passed down from the ancient tree. The investigation team continued to use this name for the scarlet insect and passed it back to the Old World.

Originally, this piece of news caused a stir again in the Starry Stronghold, which had thought the matter had come to an end. However, in the subsequent investigation, the female fire dragon suspected of being parasitized by gnawing insects was not found, and there was no trace of the Nergigante, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But now, there is actually a team of hunters telling them that what the hunter saw was true, and the gnawing insects were really brought by the Nergigante!

Even if it wasn't brought by Nergigante, it must be related to Nergigante!
The matter involved an ancient dragon, and moreover, the Nergigante that had always been the focus of the investigation team. This news was no less than a major earthquake.

"Ancient Dragon Ferry, the dragons chasing the ancient dragons, the scarlet ominous insects, why are they all gathering on His body?"

"Could it be that these gnawing insects are also part of the ancient dragon's ferry? Or are they the property of the Nergigante?" Master Yuanye, who had just returned and was planning to rest for a while, pack up his supplies and head to the Grand Canyon again, guessed in a deep voice.

"Unfortunately, we did not find anything related to the Nergigantes on the corpses of the Gnat-Beasts we retrieved."

At this time, the leader of the third group, wearing glasses and holding a pipe, came over. He just heard Master Yuanye's speculation, shook his head, and responded slowly.

"Just now, according to the emergency research of the corpses of the gnawing insects at the research base, we found that these gnawing insects died because their body energy was sucked dry. We also compared the remaining energy of the gnawing insects with the thorns left by the Nergigante and found that there is no connection between the two."

After the leader of the third group sat down, he tapped the edge of the tobacco bottle with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"According to previous research on ancient dragons, ancient dragons will have a certain impact on the surrounding environment. If this small creature is really related to the ancient dragon, even an ancient dragon like the Nergigante that is not good at environmental energy will have an impact on this small creature. At least there will be a certain energy connection."

"Therefore, we cannot make such arbitrary conclusions before conducting an in-depth investigation."

The words of the leader of the third group made several people fall into deep thought. After a long time, the leader finally spoke.

"Well, let me and the swordsmanship master lead the team to investigate deep into the swamp of the Great Anthill Wasteland. I'll leave the logistics to you."

The commander-in-chief nodded and was about to agree, but the leader of the third regiment interrupted at the right time.

"In that case, our research base will act as your logistics force and provide you with logistical support at close range."

After he finished speaking, the commander-in-chief looked at the leader of the third regiment with some concern.

In recent years, because the Star Stronghold has been paying off its debts and there is the Ancient Tree Research Base, the leader of the Third Phase Group has been silent for almost ten years, just like an ordinary scholar, doing research and issuing some small tasks.

It was not until the arrival of the fourth group that there was just enough manpower and scholars were no longer needed to do logistical work that a plan that had been proposed earlier by the leader of the third group began to be implemented.

'Mobile Research Base Project'

This plan was derived from the "Flying over the Grand Canyon" plan proposed earlier by the leader of the third group, and was finally finalized after many improvements.

The flagship of the Third Group, the huge keel ship used for book storage, was transformed into a hot air balloon airship. This way, after the subsequent hunters began to have a surplus, they could set off to the depths of the new continent surrounded by the Grand Canyon.

Secondly, it can also serve as logistical support for hunters who need to conduct in-depth and long-distance investigation missions. The scholars there can conduct the fastest analysis and investigation of the things brought back by the hunters.

"Is the hot air balloon test really okay?"

Although there are more logistical personnel and various technical talents, this is, after all, a new continent with a shortage of supplies. The investigation team can only use local materials to transform a very irregular airship, and the risks involved are not low.

"We have tested it three times, there must be no problem!"

The leader of the third group, who had been lukewarm until now, finally smiled a little and spoke in a higher tone after mentioning the three test flights.

"In that case, let's do this! I'll issue the tasks, and you'll have to choose the personnel yourself."

The commander-in-chief said no more. In the New World, everything has risks. After the ancient tree fire dragons left the Great Anthill Wasteland, their descendants were unable to defend their settlement. Later, they were dispersed and completely lost contact with the investigation team.

The transportation route that was once opened up by the investigation team and the fire dragons was also forced to be abandoned. Now the farthest it can go is to Luo Yun and Yaji's former nest. Therefore, if the commander and the swordsmanship master lead the team deep into the swamp, it will be a hassle to rely solely on manpower to transport logistical supplies.

Why not give the mobile research base a try and accumulate some experience for flying over the Grand Canyon in the future?

After getting the commander-in-chief's consent, the leader of the third regiment finally smiled on his delicate face. After bowing slightly to say goodbye, he quickly walked towards the Ecological Research Institute.

Just when the Star Base was still discussing how to conduct the investigation and which aspects to start with.

Luo Yun, who was transforming himself into a 'kind father', finally put down the little fellow who was rolled into a ball and was shaking on his wings, almost crying.

Looking at the little guy with tears in the corners of his eyes, Luo Yun vividly demonstrated what it means to 'when the child is the safest, the old father is the most dangerous factor' and turned his head away, pretending not to see it.

With a low growl, it warned the little fellow not to complain again after Yaji came back, otherwise he would continue to play with it as a ball. Then he carefully sensed the message from the boss of nature who had been silent for many years.

Just as Luo Yun guessed, the little guy was born with ancient dragon blood. Although he looked like an ordinary silver fire dragon cub, a closer look revealed that the little guy had sharp bony protrusions on both sides of his mouth, similar to Luo Yun's.

The end of the long tail behind it is not a tail hammer with several spines like the Silver Rath Dragon, but a neat tail spines like the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

The patterns on the immature wings are also light blue, not silver-gray.

All these differences reveal the fact that the little guy was an ancient dragon cub from birth. Compared to Luo Yun and Yaji who grew up in difficulty, it was as if it was born in Rome.

Therefore, the little guy's IQ is not comparable to that of an ordinary fire dragon cub, and he can easily understand Luo Yun's meaning.

Therefore, in response to Luo Yun’s warning, the little guy just shrank his head silently.

You must listen to what they say, but you have to file a complaint!
