Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 480: Prejudice in People's Hearts is a Mountain

"Huh~ This guy is really hard."

The Grand Commander took off his mask and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It is extremely hot among the volcanoes deep in the Dragon Crystal Land. Dodging and withstanding the attacks of the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon is much more troublesome than facing an ordinary Explosive Scale Dragon, and the corresponding physical energy consumption naturally increases a lot.

The captain's words resonated with Brother Yangguang. The thick layer of crystal blocks on the joints and weak points of the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon was quite hard. Chopping on it felt like chopping ore.

Even if it's hard, you can still break it with a little more force.

But! Under the crystal block there is a layer of thick scales belonging to the explosive dragon. Under the double protection, it is too unfriendly for hunters like him who use short weapons such as one-handed swords.

"You are so strong, you are like a monster. It's good to be young~"

The Grand Commander joked as he walked up to the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon and knocked on the crystal block on its body that had become dormant and no longer regenerated quickly. It was obvious that this was completely different from the dragon crystal.

"Aibo, Grand Commander, are you all right?"

With the sound of the rope being pulled quickly, Mia and Sister Haosheng retracted their hooks and quickly ran to the few people.

After a quick observation, he saw that the hunters were all shaking their heads, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The crystals on this guy look very unusual. It's a pity that we can't take them back to the research base. I'll just knock out some with better shapes and take them away."

After confirming again and again that it was something he had never seen before, the commander-in-chief said as he prepared to take action.

At this time, Mia looked at these crimson crystals, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked uncertainly: "Do you think these crystals on this Explosive Scale Dragon are Taijing crystals?"

The Grand Commander paused and turned to look at Mia in confusion. He had been away from the ancient tree for many years, so naturally he didn't know much about the Tai Crystal crystallization. His understanding of Tai Crystal energy was still at the stage of Tai Crystal branches.

Noticing that several people were deep in thought, and the Grand Leader had a puzzled expression, Mia quickly rummaged through her backpack and quickly explained, "Look, these crystals are not much different from the Taijing crystals except for the color."

After saying that, he took out a piece of Taijing crystal from his backpack and handed it to the few people.

The Grand Commander took it, knocked it, and compared it with the Taijing crystal on the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon. It was indeed the same as Mia said.

"This"

buzz~
Several noisy sounds suddenly came from the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon. Although the sounds were small, the hunters captured them accurately.

He subconsciously put on his helmet again and looked at the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon vigilantly.

The monsters have all kinds of abilities. Even the same kind of monster may undergo some changes under the influence of magical life energy. Sometimes even a dying monster will burst out with some exaggerated attacks, and many experienced hunters will fall into its trap if they are not careful.

What's more, this unusual Explosive Scale Dragon was just paralyzed and sleeping, so the hunters had no choice but to be vigilant.

However, after a while, the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon that made the strange noise did not move at all. Instead, the huge scales on its back were constantly opening and closing. Under the gaze of the hunters, soon, a group of Yaojing butterflies struggled to crawl out from the gaps in the scales, ignoring the people below, and flew around the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon for several circles, as if to determine its current state.

When they confirmed that the other party was already in an unconscious state and was indeed unable to actively convert its life energy, they rubbed their wings together angrily, making a harsh sound. Then, a dozen Yaojing Butterflies formed a group and broke away from the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon, flying towards a certain direction of the Dragon Crystal Land.

Only a few people with serious faces were left.

"Yao Jing Butterfly. Grand Commander, have you seen them here before?"

After a long time, Mia's voice broke the somewhat dull atmosphere. Her worried tone showed that she had the same idea as the Grand Commander.

"No, I explored for a few days before, but I didn't see any Yaojing butterflies, nor did I see the situation of this Explosive Scale Dragon. But the Fire Dragon Boss is the dragon of ecology and order, and he will definitely not do anything to destroy the ecology unless he has no choice."

The Grand Commander lowered his face and spoke firmly.

The Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon's violent behavior of attacking without any explanation, its crazy fighting style that completely disregarded energy and physical consumption during battle, coupled with the changes in its body and the parasitism of the Yaojing Butterfly.

It didn't seem like a normal situation at all, which reminded the captain of the previous Mad Dragon virus and the biting insect incident caused by the Nergigante.

In short, once it involves parasitism and causes mutations in ordinary monsters in the area, there must be an ancient dragon causing trouble. This has almost become a rule in the hunter world.

However, this time Luo Yun is involved, which is debatable!
The Grand Commander would rather judge that it was because of some major ecological incident that caused Luo Yun to do this, rather than speculating that Luo Yun had a sudden change of mind.

All I can say is that sometimes, the prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, and Luo Yun, the monsters under his command, and Xia Guagua and her son are on this side of the mountain, while the other ancient dragons are all on the other side of the mountain!
"Things haven't gotten to that point yet. Maybe this Exploding Scale Dragon is just a special case. After all, it's a Blazing Sun Dragon!"

Sister Haosheng said loudly that she, who had studied the files of the New World incident, shared the same opinion as the Grand Commander, but in order to boost morale, some things had to be said openly.

Strengthening the hearts of hunters and boosting morale is also one of the roles of these editors.

Obviously, after Sister Haosheng's somewhat exculpatory remarks, the three hunters also thought a lot more clearly and agreed with her words in their hearts. They cheered themselves up, ate some prepared rations, knocked off some Taijing blocks from the Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon for subsequent research, threw a few antidote pills at it, and then headed towards the Dragon Crystal Land with determination!
Target: Blazing Sun Dragon!!
The Dragon Crystal Land looked very close from a distance, but it actually took several people quite a while to walk there.

The various intricate lava flows, the territories of large monsters, and the interconnected lava caves all made the group take a long detour.

After walking for two days, we finally entered the land of dragon crystal.

Among the monsters encountered along the way, only less than a quarter retained their original species, and the others had basically become more or less crystallized, and were surrounded by crystal butterflies.

During this period, they collected a lot of Taijing crystals of various colors from large monsters and found that the colors of these crystals seemed to be related to the energy properties of the large monsters that served as hosts. More research can only be handed over to scholars for exploration after returning to the mobile research base.

Good news: The situation of the previous Taijing Explosive Scale Dragon was indeed a special case. The emotions of the other Taijing monsters they encountered remained stable. As long as they did not actively attack or invade the opponent's territory, basically no fight would occur.

Bad news: The defense of these monsters infected with Tai Crystallization has been greatly improved, and their energy organs seem to have been greatly enhanced as well, which is beyond the ability of ordinary hunters to cope with. In addition, some Tai Crystallization monsters seem to have a trend of changes in their energy properties.
