Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 295 Life Dancing in the Storm

Between the streams and mountains, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle - at least it was that way a few minutes ago.

The young man, with his muscular arms exposed, looked at the clouds around him that were becoming visibly thicker and darker, and the wind that was getting stronger in a short period of time. He couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of nature again. For scholars like them, it seemed that this world had never really revealed its veil to them.

The young man is named Kukosin. He comes from a newly established academic institution called the "Dragon History Research Institute". For the joint research project between him and his mentor, his daily life is to fly around the continent in an airship.

Two days ago, they had just arrived in Lockrak and received a message mentioning the whereabouts of a monster in their current research topic. Excited, he and his mentor set off for Jieyun without any rest, hoping to successfully find the target for observation.

"Professor, the weather is going to change. Should we land? Or climb above the cumulonimbus clouds?"

Kukosin shouted at the top of his voice so that the hard-of-hearing professor could hear him clearly, and at the same time he held down the felt hat on his head with his hands to prevent it from being blown away by the sudden strong wind. This was high up in the sky, and if the hat was lost, it would be impossible to find it back.

The shrunken dragon man called the professor held a telescope tightly in his hand and kept scanning below, as if he was looking for something.

Noticing the professor's lack of response, Kukosin knew the professor probably didn't hear what he said, so he couldn't help but raise his voice again:

"Professor! The weather is changing! Should we descend or climb?"

The professor finally withdrew his attention from his constant observation. He sighed regretfully and waved his hand.
"Let's climb and fly above the clouds! According to the latest intelligence, that guy should be active in this area. Landing rashly is too dangerous."

During the conversation, the clouds in the sky became thicker, and the howling wind blew the few strands of the bald professor's hair.

After receiving the order, Kukosin quickly turned the winch and opened the control valve, making the flame under the airship's airbag burn more fiercely. At the same time, he had to hold the rudder tightly to prevent the airship from losing balance and crashing due to the violent airflow disturbance at high altitude.

Kukosin was busy and worried. Flying at such a high altitude, if he crashed, it would be no joke. The professor was still holding up the telescope unwillingly, wanting to try one last time to see if he could find any trace of the target.

And after taking this look, he actually found something strange.

Why is there a faint red and black light shining at the foot of the mountain in that direction?

The professor was cheered up and quickly pointed the telescope at that place, twisting the lens to adjust the focus, and not caring about the shaking of the airship, he looked at that place intently.

In the eyes of these researchers, red and black are very sensitive colors, because almost all dragon-attribute energy appears red and black when released. Dragon-attribute energy has always been a special energy with properties that are very different from the four conventional attributes of ice, fire, thunder, and water. It is even one of the key research projects of their Dragon Calendar Institute.

Could it be that Tyrannosaurus?

As the lens twisted, the blurry scene gradually became clear. The professor saw the dark green monster clearly and his expression suddenly brightened with joy.

God will not let down those who work hard. It was worth their non-stop efforts to finally find this guy!

Wait...something seems wrong?
That Tyrannosaurus seems to be chasing and biting something?

The professor struggled to fine-tune the focus, but his feet kept shaking, forcing him to constantly grab the ropes for stability. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly; he could only vaguely make out a figure much smaller than the Deinonychus. He grumbled in dissatisfaction, but he also knew it was simply due to the bad weather. No wonder the Kukosin airship was so unstable.

The professor had some vague guesses about the identity of the creature being chased by the Tyrannosaurus. After all, with such a small size, there was almost no creature that could survive in the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus for so long, except for hunters who were specially trained and had rich experience in dealing with large monsters.

Unfortunately, even without the storm, their expedition airship, armed with only a single crossbow, would hardly be able to provide any assistance to the pursued hunter...

Kukosin tried hard to control the spacecraft, and at the same time observed the surrounding situation with sweat on his forehead to determine the most stable and appropriate climbing path. However, while observing, he suddenly found something wrong.

"Professor! Do you see anything moving in the clouds over there?"

Kukosin's loud shout finally drew the bald old dragon man's attention away from the hunter being chased and bitten by the Tyrannosaurus. He looked in the direction of the student's finger and saw a touch of white that was out of tune with the surrounding dark clouds.

Is that... a dragon?

The professor was a little unsure, but the instinct formed from years of studying dragons told him that it was a dragon, a white dragon that looked extremely sacred, like the ruler of the heavens.

But what kind of dragon has the ability to "swim" freely in the clouds?

Bluish-white lightning could be vaguely seen wandering in the clouds, as if the sky was torn apart. A flash of lightning that pierced the sky, splitting the darkness, also instantly illuminated the huge shadow hovering in the clouds.

The slender body was wrapped in the storm and slowly descended. The light green shell shone coldly in the lightning. The white flying membrane covering the whole body stretched and fluttered like feathers, as if an invisible hand was controlling the airflow... He was the master of the storm and the god of this world!

Ancient dragon!

This is definitely an ancient dragon!
Only the incarnation of natural disaster can have such power!

The old professor made a judgment almost instantly. He quickly searched through the information he had read in his countless years of research career in his mind, trying to match one of them with the divine creature in front of him.

Before he could finish thinking about it, his thoughts were interrupted in an instant.

He stared blankly at the white dragon with swirling air all over its body, and looked at its mouth which could even be considered small compared to many large monsters.

From that mouth, a terrifying torrent gushed out in an instant, piercing through the sky and tearing the earth apart. As the white dragon's head twisted slightly, the torrent tore a straight abyss on the earth like a hot knife cutting butter.

The end point of this torrent is exactly the target they want to study and observe, the gluttonous demon with dark green skin.

It was clearly a terrifying monster that made people shudder, but under the gushing of that terrifying torrent, it was like a rag doll, and was knocked over without any resistance, with hot blood splattered everywhere.

Instant kill!
