Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 398 Investigation Team Joins

"Sixty percent, how can there be so many? Is it our relationship?"

This number of freakish situations completely exceeded the investigation team's initial assumptions. In their opinion, a large number of freakish monsters were killed by hunters, and the rest were shrunken in the swamp. With the help of nature's self-regulation, it would only take a little more time for them to complete self-purification.

But now, Luo Yun gave a number that made the Grand Commander's heart tremble. Having been a hunter for so many years, even if he was not a scholar, the Grand Commander understood what it meant that 60% of the monsters were parasitized by these mortal gnawing insects. The ecology of this swamp had reached an irreversible level of collapse.

However, the investigation team did not notice this at all.

Obviously, they should have just persisted a little longer and spent more manpower to enter the swamp, instead of confining the monsters to the swamp and then ignoring them. It was a foolish decision based entirely on "experience".

"Is there still hope? Maybe, it doesn't have to be so extreme."

The commander's voice was hoarse, but when he looked up and met Luo Yun's cold vertical pupils, he immediately understood what he meant. He sat down on the ground cross-legged in a decadent manner and sighed.

Xingchen has never stopped its research on rodents. Even now, research projects on rodents are still ongoing at the mobile research base.

Therefore, the investigation team has a relatively good understanding of the ecology of rodents.

These constantly mutating gnawing insects are not the kind that can be completely destroyed by killing the source. Even if the investigation team mobilizes all their strength, or even sends out a liaison ship to invite the real "monster" hunters from the Old World to implement their most commonly used decapitation tactics, they may not be able to prevent the ecological collapse of the swamp.

Luo Yun's behavior is easy to understand. Since the collapse of the swamp's ecosystem is inevitable, it would be better for him to speed up the process so that the swamp can enter the next round of ecological cycle as soon as possible, even if this may cause a certain chain reaction to the entire New World.

But it’s better than procrastinating and causing a large number of rodents to move to other areas, right?

When the swordsmanship master and the other two hunters arrived, they saw the bleak figure of the Grand Commander. This was really unbelievable to them.

After all, in their impression, the captain is always full of energy and has the personal charm that can inspire others anytime and anywhere, but the captain looks like this now. Could it be that the negotiations broke down?
But looking at Chiyanglong's calm expression, it doesn't seem like that.

The few of them froze there for a moment, not knowing what had happened, and decided to wait and see.

After a long time, the Grand Commander finally made a decision.

He stood up, patted his trousers, looked down at the battle that had completely ended, and the corpses of gnawing insects floating on the scarlet water, and took a deep breath.

"I understand. Xingchen will fully support this operation. Leave the periphery of the swamp and those dark and narrow caves to us. In addition, we found traces of the Nergigante on the way here. It is very likely that it is coming for you. Do you need help?"

Luo Yun growled in a deep voice, rejecting the Grand Commander's help.

He has come up with some plans in the past few days to deal with the Nergigante, provided that the situation of the Nergigante does not exceed his expectations.

After all, according to the current situation, based on Luo Yun's understanding of Boss Nature, since no new ancient dragon helpers have appeared, and even Xia Guagua has not made any movement, it means that in Boss Nature's judgment, his strength is enough to deal with the situation in the swamp. This is why Luo Yun dared to make that somewhat risky decision.

"Really? Got it. I'll contact Xingchen right away." The Grand Commander nodded and turned to walk towards the swordsmanship master.

"Old friend, I'm glad you're still the boss I know!"

"Roar!"

The swordsmanship master looked at the captain who had recovered and understood what decision he had made. His goal was definitely the same as that of the Blazing Sun Dragon, so at the very least there would be no conflict.

"It seems that our relationship with the ancient tree has been preserved."

"Hmph! Are you kidding? He's the Fire Dragon Boss, the Dragon of Creation and Order. All our previous worries were unnecessary!" Now that he had made up his mind, the Grand Commander no longer hesitated and returned to his usual state.

"Let's go and prepare well. The base and we will be busy for the next period of time!"

The swordsmanship master keenly noticed the word "stronghold" mentioned by the Grand Commander. It seems that the situation in the swamp has deteriorated to this extent.

The insect stick user who was holding the Yaojing Butterfly on his shoulder didn't think too much about it. His new hunting insect was saved, and the Taijing branches and buds that he had exchanged for a lot of investigation points in the past few days were finally not wasted.

"Eh? How come the Blazing Sun Dragon's wings have returned to their original appearance? Did all those Yaojing butterflies disguised as scales go to join the battle?"

The insect stick who was reaching out to stroke the warm folded wings of the Yaojing Butterfly made his eyes sweep over Luo Yun's dazzling silver figure, and some doubts emerged in his heart.

After the Grand Commander and others returned to the mobile research base, a hunter soon left the base on a pterosaur. Inside the mobile research base, the hunter and logistics staff immediately started making cold drinks.

Fighting in a high temperature environment of sixty degrees is something that even hunters cannot endure for a long time, so cold drinks that can lower body temperature and enhance high temperature tolerance become indispensable. What's more, the information brought back by the Grand Commander will cause a large number of hunters in the Star Base to be dispatched, and the mobile research base will provide logistics support for the hunters.

Things have already happened, and the best solution is to find a way to solve them. It is meaningless to blame scholars or those who make decisions without delving into the swamp at this time.

As the sun gradually set in the sky, Luo Yun was finally able to clearly sense the location of the Fatalis, which meant that the two sides were very close. However, after reaching this distance, the Fatalis suddenly stopped.

Maybe he was preparing for a battle. After all, Luo Yun did not suddenly conceal his own aura. If he could sense the Nergigante, there was no way the big black hedgehog could not sense him.

"It's better to delay it a little longer. The longer we delay, the more gnawing insects we can kill in one go!"

Thinking of the hideous gnawing insects he had seen in the swamp these days that forcibly absorbed the essence of the monsters and forcibly hatched from the monsters' bodies, Luo Yun felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.

Not to mention the destructiveness of that thing to the ecology, just its appearance alone makes Long unable to muster any appreciation for it. Compared with the Crystal Butterfly, it is really far inferior!
