Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

But the special pheromones diffused in the air during the breeding season were invisibly guiding Han Xin forward.

When they stepped into a deep area of ​​the abandoned shrine, Han Xin stopped sliding.

He widened his nostrils, took a deep breath, and then his eyes lit up as he found the direction.

"Haha! Beauty! My Daji, I'm coming!"

"Wow, host, can you be more normal... Never mind, you're a psychopath anyway, so I won't ask too much of you..."

Following the direction of the smell, Han Xin rushed over with excitement on his face.

This area is located deep within the abandoned shrine, making it difficult for villagers and even those involved in the Hunter's Guild to fully explore it.

In addition to the towering trees, there are also countless mountains and rivers. Once you mistakenly enter one of them, you may be trapped and die.

However, it is precisely because of this that many monsters can hide here.

Among them, the female bubble dragon is such a case.

Guided by the smell, Han Xin walked through the unfamiliar area with ease.

At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

He was so excited and eager at the thought of meeting a charming and beautiful female bubble dragon!

However, when Han Xin set foot in this area, he could also smell more than one kind of "fox fragrance".

That's right, even within the same species, different individuals have slightly different scents.

It seems that deep in this area, there lives a group of bubble fox dragons.

There was even the smell of a male.

"Could it be that……

Oh no, a dragon is trying to get there first!!!"

The roast chicken is right in front of him. How can Han Xin let this delicious food go to someone else?

So he sped up his actions, hoping to find a mate for this year before the other male.

When Han Xin walked through the woods, slipped over the hills, and swam across the streams,

After passing through layers of obstacles, I finally felt the strongest smell at the end of a bush.

There is no doubt that behind this is where the bubble dragons are! The land of 17 billion people!

The moment he broke through the bushes, it was like the sun breaking through the clouds, and he finally saw the figures of his "fellow tribe members"!

However, what surprised him was that

There are actually four bubble fox dragons here.

When all four bubble fox dragons appeared in Han Xin's eyes, he was stunned.

There is no other reason,

Among these four bubble fox dragons, three of them exude a female aura.

But two of them have darker bodies, showing grayish pink and grayish purple colors.

Not to mention the beautiful cherry blossom-like body color, even the dragon fins are very short, like a gray loach, and a bit like a fox with shed hair.

If someone told him at this moment that this was a sub-adult individual of the Niweng Dragon, Han Xin would believe it without a doubt.

It is difficult to objectively evaluate whether it is ugly or beautiful. It can only be said that it is completely not in Han Xin's aesthetic taste.

This was completely different from the bubble fox dragon with the enchanting dance in his impression.

Although Han Xin was a hunter before he traveled through time and had some knowledge of the monster ecology in the Monster Hunter world, this did not mean that he understood it all.

He only knew that according to the setting, the Bubble Fox Dragons that hunters encountered were all males, and the females were not as brightly colored.

Originally thought, it was just a slight difference, but when he saw it today, Han Xin was greatly disappointed.

"How could I repair it! No! No! How, how could it be like this! How, how could the Bubble Fox Dragon of my dreams look like a loach!!!"

Monster Hunter designer! You deserve to die!!!"

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

Soft, that one is soft...

"Hahahahaha, host, is that it? You have quite unique taste hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Chihong also burst into laughter.

How excited Han Xin was before, how disappointed he is now.

Just when he was feeling discouraged, he looked up and realized that something was wrong.

There are four bubble dragons, three of which smell like females, two of which look like loaches, and one male with a normal body shape and smell.

Doesn't that mean...

"Objection!"

Suddenly, Han Xin became extremely alert and had a guess in his mind!

Perhaps one of the female individuals has undergone some mutation, making its body shape more similar to that of a male!

This is not an uncommon example in nature.

For example, the real Australian giant squid,

There are some special male individuals that are very similar to females in body shape and color.

While normal male and female individuals are breeding, they blend in and pretend to be attracted to the male, but in fact they are secretly breeding with the female nearby.

Of course, this situation has evolved naturally over a long period of time, which shows that it is an effective and reasonable breeding method.

The existence of a large number of such special individuals is the result of cruel screening.

The Bubble Fox Dragon in front of us is very likely the divergence point of evolution.

However, the feeling that these four bubble fox dragons gave Han Xin was somewhat different.

The individual that Han Xin identified as a male was gathered together with two loach-like females.

The female with the opposite color was left alone, lying on the opposite side, as if she was isolated.

The latter still had a pitiful look in his eyes, as if longing for family affection, and approached cautiously.

However, the slightly smaller "loach" showed its fangs fiercely, as if it wanted her to get out.

However, the "big loach" and the male bubble dragon allowed the "little loach" to do whatever it wanted, with indifference in their eyes.

"Host, what are these four bubble fox dragons doing?"

Chihong looked at Han Xin with suspicion.

After a little thought, Han Xin came up with a bold guess.

"From what I know, the Bubble Fox Dragon is very similar to real-life foxes, so it's very likely that their ecological habits are also similar.

The 'big loach' is most likely the male's partner.

And that little loach, and that...little pervert?

Could it be their offspring?"

Chihong quickly caught up with Han Xin's train of thought and echoed it.

"I have a feeling that the little fake man you mentioned is suffering from domestic violence?"

"Maybe it was from Yi Qi's father who brought him here.

Generally speaking, foxes live in monogamous groups, and this should be the case with the bubble fox dragon.

After giving birth, they will raise their offspring together. The male will go out to find food, while the female will guard the nest, which is a bit similar to the male fire dragon I transformed into before.

When the young dragons grow to a certain stage, the males will leave the family on their own to explore new territories and look for partners.

The female will continue to stay in the family and raise a new batch of brothers and sisters until a male finds her during the breeding season.

Perhaps, this little pseudo man's body is too similar to that of a male, even though he exudes the scent of a female,

But the family members mistakenly thought it was a male that should leave the nest, so they drove it away, right? "

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then why does that smaller female Bubble Fox Dragon seem so hostile to her?"

"In the minds of wild animals, there is also a competitive relationship between brothers and sisters.

After all, nature's resources are limited, and now that its compatriot has grown up, that 'little loach' naturally doesn't want her to take away any of its future benefits."

"Nature! How cruel!"

Chihong seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded as if he understood.

The four bubble fox dragons, who had originally ignored Han Xin's scent due to family conflicts, finally smelled Han Xin's scent at a closer distance.

Only then did they realize that a [visitor] had come to their territory.

Just like when Han Xin transformed into a male fire dragon, the male bubble fox dragon, the leader of the family, jumped out first.

He protected the family members behind him.

It seemed like the first time that the "little loach" saw a member of the opposite sex other than his father. His eyes were full of curiosity as he stuck his head out to look at Han Xin's position.

She also blinked her eyes from time to time, as if she was flirting with me.

This scene made Han Xin feel extremely uncomfortable. The little loach's figure was indeed not in his strike zone.

On the other hand, the little fake man was very cowardly.

Facing the intruder Han Xin, she retreated repeatedly and even wanted to hide in her mother's arms, trying to awaken the latter's rare maternal love.

But as expected, the big loach ruthlessly dodged it.

During the breeding season, males appeared here, and the Bubble Fox Dragon, as the lord of this place, was not surprised.

However, for the prosperity of the race, it still has to test Han Xin's figure.

So the bubble fox dragon took the initiative and spit out a string of bubbles at Han Xin!

This is really too EZ for Han Xin.

He just flicked his tail lightly and easily broke the bubbles with just the mud and dead branches on the ground.
