Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 391: Gnawing Insects Evolve Again

On this trip, Luo Yun brought along nearly ten powerful fire dragons from the ancient tree fire dragon group, including the Hao Fire Dragon couple.

As time went by, those old and battle-hardened fire dragons were no longer suitable for long-distance travel and high-intensity combat, so they were left behind with Yaji to guard the ancient tree. Therefore, Luo Yun brought some fire dragons in their prime. Among them was a male fire dragon that had just challenged the middle layer from the lower layer of the ancient tree's canopy and entered the symbiotic energy pyramid, but had not yet fully transformed.

The reason I brought it along is not only because this guy has a really strong talent and defeated the fire dragons of the ancient tree fire dragon group, which can be said to be a powerful subspecies, in the form of an ordinary fire dragon, but I also want it to experience firsthand what the top combat power among the ancient tree fire dragon group is, so that I can use it to better control those ordinary fire dragons at the lower level in the future.

Although those ordinary fire dragons submitted to the new rules of the ancient tree, compared with the old members of the fire dragon group, they were more willing to follow this male fire dragon, a "new member" who had entered the middle level from the bottom through his own strength.

This is not conducive to the development of the ancient trees, especially as Luo Yun broke through to become an ancient dragon and the ancient tree fire dragons transformed again, their fertility was restricted. Therefore, they showed their muscles to the "new members" and let these power-worshiping fire dragons understand the real gap, which would make them more fanatical about becoming a member of the ancient tree fire dragon group.

Of course, this is just a small matter for Luo Yun. He can take advantage of this opportunity to solve it, so why not do it?

At this time, Luo Yun, who was breaking through the air in front of the team and creating a tailwind, did not know that the male fire dragon at the end of the team was looking at Luo Yun in the front with a fanatical look on his face.

It is true that the ordinary fire dragons in the lower levels of the ancient trees are not convinced by the ancient tree fire dragons in the middle and upper levels, but the only thing the two sides have in common is their recognition and fanatical worship of Luo Yun, the Fire Dragon King.

For ordinary fire dragons, Luo Yun is the "god" who brings new life to the entire ancient tree area.

Or it can be said that, whether in terms of ecological changes or strength, Luo Yun is an existence respected and supported by all creatures in the entire ancient tree area.

More food resources and an environment more suitable for monsters to survive, these are what Luo Yun brought.

It is precisely under such enthusiasm that these ordinary fire dragons that have newly joined the ancient tree will abide by the new rules of the ancient tree without cats as buffers and are hostile to the ancient tree fire dragons.

At the edge of the swamp in the Big Anthill Wasteland, a thick iron chain anchor was nailed firmly into the crevice of the rocks. At the end of the chain was a mobile research base flying in the air like a large kite.

Hunters who come to investigate and scholars who go below for field surveys can call the pterosaurs kept in captivity inside the research base back to the ship.

At this altitude, the research base only needs to be wary of female fire dragons and a smaller number of flying monsters. It is much safer than a temporary camp.

Bang, bang!
A gnawing insect with a ferocious mouth was constantly hitting the glass bottle which looked fragile but was actually very solid. The leader of the third group was holding a parchment package in his hand and comparing it carefully with another piece of parchment on the table.

"How strange! These gnawing insects seem to have evolved again. The special toxins in their parotid glands have become more toxic, and the special factors that can trigger the monsters' violent emotions have also become more active. This is not in line with the survival habits of this creature."

The leader of the third group always had a bad feeling. The toxicity of the gnawing insects and the increase in that special factor meant that the monsters they parasitized would die faster, which would indirectly cause them to die faster. From an ecological perspective, the evolution of the gnawing insects was undoubtedly self-destructive.

But all living things have the instinct to survive, and gnawing insects are no exception. This seemingly unreasonable evolution must have some secret, and this secret may allow the investigation team to unravel the reason for the proliferation of gnawing insects and the connection between gnawing insects and Nergigantes!
In the swamp, the hunter team led by the grand commander and the swordsmanship master also encountered some troubles.

This season is the breeding season for mudfish dragons. Not only did the large number of mudfish dragon larvae cause considerable trouble to their hunting process, the number of these grotesque monsters far exceeded their initial expectations.

They felt that the entire swamp seemed to have turned into a breeding ground for monsters, and the monsters seemed to be confined in the swamp. It was not like what the investigation team initially thought, that it was their constant suppression that confined the monsters to this area.

Because of going too deep and constantly fighting, everyone except the monstrous leader, including the swordsmanship master, felt exhausted.

At this moment, looking at the commander who was standing on the reef, holding a spear in one hand easily and observing the surroundings vigilantly with a telescope in the other hand, the swordsmanship master tightened the Blazing Wings in his hand and made the decision he had been thinking about for several years in his heart again.

Although he is very strong, in terms of physique, he is really no match for the humanoid golden lion like the Grand Commander. Perhaps he should also admit that he is old. This greatsword has been with him for many years and has even been strengthened many times with the scales of the Blazing Sun Dragon. It is time for it to rest.

However, the commander-in-chief's grandson, his apprentice Noa, is not currently strong enough to inherit the sword.

Although this is also a talented young man, he is the descendant of the commander-in-chief after all. His talent is far from that of a monster. It is unknown whether he will have the opportunity to inherit this powerful weapon in the future.

Perhaps, we can look forward to the fifth group of elite hunters who will serve as additional combat personnel in the future?
Just as the swordsman was thinking, the voice of the Grand Commander was heard.

"Found it, a weird sea dragon! Damn, even a monster of this level can't escape the parasitism of the gnawing insects?"

At the estuary in the distance, a strange sea dragon with red joints and scales, surrounded by gnawing insects and with bloodshot eyes, swam towards the captain and his men.

The four-man team immediately formed a defensive formation. All of their consumables had been used up on this outing. They were originally planning to rest here and wait for supplies and resources from another team, but they didn't expect to encounter monsters after all.

And as the sea dragon got closer, they discovered that there was more than one sea dragon!
There are exactly three of them!
This meant that the Grand Commander and the Sword Master would each be responsible for one beast, and the remaining beast would have to be dealt with by the remaining two people.

This is a sea dragon, which is no less ecologically niche than the male fire dragon!

Moreover, they are strengthened by the monstrosity. Although they are elite, they are still very dangerous when they are exhausted and all traps and medicines are used up! !
