Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 436: Crusade Plan
On the outskirts of the ancient tree forest, Darren and his cat, Elu, which looked like a Siamese cat like a "coal boss", were each wielding a small iron pickaxe and digging ore with a grunt. Occasionally, when they dug up a slightly better piece of ore, Elu would meow with joy.

Ever since Noah saw him easily interrupt the attack of the Great Thief Dragon with an offsetting Upper Slash a few days ago, and then followed up with a Pursuit Cross Slash plus a True Charge, and easily defeated the Great Thief Dragon with a set of attacks like flowing clouds and water, he directly threw him a map of the ancient tree forest and the explored area with various supply points marked on it, and let their group play freely.

So until now, they have been mining for several days in a row. It can be said that during the days since they came to the New World, except for returning to the Star Base at dusk and listening to the reports of ordinary hunters tracking the traces of the Molten Dragon, they basically spent the rest of the time mining.

There was no other way. Darren had chosen a greatsword as his weapon. The ores and materials needed for large weapons were among the best among hunter weapons. Unfortunately, the stockpiles in the base were insufficient, so the hunters had to collect the relevant materials themselves.

Inside the Star Stronghold, the Commander-in-Chief looked at the message sent back from the Ancient Tree Hunters Guild with a serious face, handed it to a few people beside him, and was a little undecided.

According to the guild's investigation and the recent behavior of the Fire Dragons in the Ancient Trees, the chaos in the Ancient Tree Forest that has lasted for several years has come to an end, and the Blazing Sun Dragons have begun to consciously demonstrate their presence and reconcile the chaos in the Ancient Tree area.

It was originally thought that the movement of the Molten Dragon entering the New World did not cause large-scale disturbances because the Molten Dragon traveled through waterways, so it would not cause damage to the existing ecology of the ancient tree forest.

Finally, news came from the Chihuo Village Shrine that because winter is approaching, the Chiyang Dragon has to maintain the temperate environment of the ancient tree area and cannot leave the ancient tree for a long time.

Therefore, after considering various factors, the think tank suggested that they first find an opportunity to seek advice from the Fiery Sun Dragon to determine whether the ecology has reached the point where it needs to be stabilized.

It is time to launch an investigation into the 'Dragon Cemetery' that Luo Yun had mentioned, and its owner, which the investigation team had been thinking about the most.

After all, the name of Dragon Cemetery, from a sensory point of view, feels closely related to Ancient Dragon Ferry. If Chiyang Dragon had not said that the other party was closely related to the ecological turmoil, and if the investigation team at that time was indeed unable to mobilize enough combat power to conduct relevant investigations, as it was related to Ancient Dragon Ferry, they would not have dragged it on for so long.

At present, the arrival of the fifth group has filled the gap in combat power. As long as we can be sure that this necessary ecological turmoil has ended, then this is the best time to launch an investigation into the Skeleton Dragon! !

"What do you think?"

Because the members of the fifth group are basically rushing to obtain materials for new equipment, but because the mines near the Star Base have been heavily mined in the continuous repayment of "debts" over the years, they have to go further, even to some unexplored places to collect minerals.

Therefore, there was no representative from the fifth group among those present.

"It's a good opportunity, but the Blazing Sun Dragon won't leave the Ancient Tree, and the Fifth Phase Group has only the most basic leather armor and iron weapons so far. Can they break through the Ancient Dragon's defense?"

The leader of the second group said in a deep voice that the fifth group was indeed composed of elites. The recommended group was no worse than the former captain and swordsmanship master just by looking at their battle records in the data. What's more, Darren, who was given the title of "White Wind of the New World" by the guild before he even set out, had an even more terrifying record. He was definitely a historical-level hunter.

But even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. There is no need to doubt the hunter's strength, but let's not talk about whether iron weapons can break defenses, just say that kind of armor, how many hits can the hunters withstand? I'm afraid that the ancient dragon's breath will kill a large number of hunters.

"In that case, let's implement the elite decapitation plan. Several recommended teams will serve as the main force to defeat the Skeleton Dragon, and the remaining hunters will serve as support to intercept possible monster riots on the periphery and create an absolutely safe combat environment for the recommended team hunters."

In recent years, after learning that the defense line of the mobile research base had been completed and the leader of the third phase group would not be in danger of life, the leader of the research class gradually recovered.

Today, the Grand Commander and Master Wilderness are using the mobile research base as their base to conduct ecological surveys deep inside the Grand Canyon. The dragon hunters also sensed the change in earth energy a year ago, and they have been missing for a long time since they went deep into the Great Ant Mound Wasteland. The swordsmanship master is in charge of the Molten Mountain Dragon's affairs.

Therefore, this crusade can only be carried out by the Fifth Phase Group.

"As for the equipment, I remember that the trading ship will return from the Old World in two days. The last batch of ancient tree ornaments and New World specialties that we stockpiled will surely bring us a considerable amount of money. We will use this money to buy materials for fire dragons and the ores needed for related equipment from the ancient trees, and try to get a batch of excellent equipment for the recommended group hunters in the shortest possible time."

When the commander-in-chief heard that the leader of the research class was eyeing the new funds, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. Now it is different from before. The trade between the New World and the Old World has formed a stable market. Money has real value. Hunter missions cost money, star base maintenance costs money, and trading with ancient trees also costs money!
However, as hunters, we cannot ignore those who destroy the ecology.

"Okay! It's decided! We'll call back all the recommended teams today to confirm their physical data!"

The commander-in-chief gritted his teeth, thought it over again and again, and agreed to the suggestion.

A few days passed by.

Darren and Mia sat on the saddled back of the thief dragon curiously. The lively Mia kept exclaiming in surprise. She never expected that the vicious and cunning thief dragon would be a means of transportation in the New World!
Darren looked calm, but his eyes kept looking around, secretly alert.

"Don't worry, this transportation route has been stable for more than ten years. Xingchen and Chihuo Village will regularly send hunters to perform relevant maintenance. Just relax." Noah, who was sitting on the back of another thief dragon, noticed the strangeness of the members of the on-site recommendation group and explained with a hearty smile.

In order to complete the battle against the Skeleton Dragon as soon as possible, the investigation team decided to let the craftsmen of the recommended second phase group rush to the ancient tree first, and after completing the transaction with the Blazing Village, complete the creation of relevant equipment on the ancient tree.

The remaining members of the fifth group did not have such treatment. Led by the old hunter from the investigation team, they wore leather armor and carried iron weapons and headed to the west of the ancient tree in a mighty procession. While finding out the situation there, they cleaned up the battlefield in advance.
