Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

After seeing Alulu enter the safe area, Han Xin tied the rope around himself, and then stood on the shaky deck with Ye Zi and the Kingdom Knights to guard against possible danger.

As for what the danger was, no one understood it better than the hunters and Han Xin.

The sea was calm one second, and the next second it was covered with dark clouds and huge waves.

There may be only one reason for this weather fusion that occurs without warning.

【Moving natural disaster】

"A-choo! What the hell is going on? Why did the weather change so suddenly?"

Kate was trembling as she hugged the mast in the wind and waves. As a newcomer, she obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the situation.

Instructor Jay held his forehead and sighed, then hit Kate hard on the head.

"Go back to the cabin. I won't be able to take care of your safety later."

Unexpectedly, Kate covered her head and shook her head vigorously, and her legs clamped the mast tighter.

"No... You never take me with you every time something like this happens! That's not fair!"

Just as Jay was about to refute her, the entire ship suddenly shook violently!

"?!"

Jay felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, so he had to protect Kate behind him, praying that this time he could get through it safely like before.

The Kingdom Knights and Ye Zi present also held their weapons in their hands and stood ready, fastened their safety ropes, and lowered their body weight to prevent themselves from falling on the shaking hull.

Only Han Xin ran to the bow, grabbed the sharp corner on the bow, and stuck half of his body out to scan everything around him.

Gradually, the strong wind brought a little chill, which once again fell on Han Xin's nose.

This time he clearly felt that the coldness was not the splashing sea water, nor the prelude to a rainstorm.

Rather, the coldness of frost.

"Roar!"

The originally pitch-black storm was raging around the hull, making it difficult to see clearly, but in an instant, a majestic dragon roar came from the black storm, shocking everyone.

Kate was so frightened that her legs went limp and she clung to the mast tightly.

Fiorina, Luchika, Jay and others all seemed to be very familiar with this roar.

Ye Zi also drew out her sword, ready to face the unknown fear.

As the owner of the voice passed through the black storm and arrived above the ship, the originally warm and sunny sky began to rain dense icicles.

In this biting frost, Fiorina was sweating profusely. Looking at the culprit of the strange weather in the sky, she exclaimed:

"It's actually... a Steel Dragon of the Ancient Dragon Species?!"

"Ancient Dragon?!" ×2

Ye Zi and Kate exclaimed when they saw the Steel Dragon for the first time, unable to hide their fear.

However, after being surprised, Ye Zi immediately became serious and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Kate started to complain.

"What's going on... The guild's lessons clearly say that ancient dragons are rare monsters, so why have I only encountered these things recently...

Could it be that Gu Long is just some stray dog ​​on the roadside..."

Coincidentally, at the moment of "slandering" the ancient dragon, the steel dragon that was originally flying high in the sky suddenly stopped, and then slowly turned its head to look at the ship below.

Seeing this, Kate subconsciously covered her mouth. Unable to hold onto the mast, she was immediately blown to and fro by the strong wind.

"Could it be that it's coming?!"

Seeing this, Luchika quickly loaded a round of ammunition into her light crossbow and aimed the crosshairs at the steel dragon that was watching them from high in the sky.

However, Fiorina immediately stretched out a hand to try to stop Luchika from going berserk.

"Vice Admiral Luchika, don't shoot yet!

Let’s take another look at the situation!

As the most common ancient dragon seen by humans, it is not uncommon to encounter a Steel Dragon once in a while.

If this steel dragon is just passing by, as long as we don't provoke it, it might choose to ignore us and continue flying wherever it wants."

As Fiorina said,

Although the Steel Dragon is a mysterious, powerful and noble ancient dragon species,

But compared to other ancient dragon species, the steel dragon has a very wide range of activities. It can even be said that it is the ancient dragon with the most sightings.

Among them, there will naturally be ordinary people who are not part of the Hunter organization who witnessed Him.

The fact that those ordinary people were able to come back alive and report to the guild also indirectly shows that Steel Dragon does not attack humans every time it sees them.

Everyone stood on the deck with bated breath, staring at the ancient dragon circling high in the sky, praying that it would ignore the ships and continue flying.

As the saying goes, when they stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at them.

No one knew what the Steel Dragon was thinking. Perhaps it was just out of interest. He was not in a hurry and looked down at the tiny human below with contempt.

However, just as the steel dragon high in the sky was scanning the ants below, it locked its eyes on the cat on the bow.

The latter also stared at the towering steel dragon, with no fear in his eyes.

Suddenly, the steel-silk spirit dragon seemed to feel a familiar feeling, but it was not real enough, as if it was a fleeting memory.

However, this still aroused his great interest, so he slowly landed and tried to observe the cat carefully.

The steel dragon's falling action scared everyone on the deck. They did not have absolute confidence to repel an ancient dragon.

"Host, what should we do? Should we take action?"

Chihong sounded a warning in Han Xin's sea of ​​consciousness.

The latter remained calm and stared at the steel dragon.

"No rush, let's see the situation."

With Han Xin's current strength, defeating a steel dragon is no problem.

But he didn't want to expose his secret in public, nor did he feel the need to defeat a passing monster.

If I just had the purest curiosity about them and wanted to take a look and leave, there would be no need for me to demand their lives like the King of the West.

Unless, this steel dragon wants to attack them,

Or maybe... what Lieren said, [the strange steel dragon that destroyed the Melalu tribe in the Fortress Heights].

Although the destruction of the tribe had nothing to do with him, since he had accepted this body and used it to become a husband and wife with Alulu,

Then it is reasonable and logical to avenge the owner of this body.

Therefore, Han Xin kept his head raised, watching and observing the steel dragon.

Unfortunately, the steel dragon was flying too high, and it was difficult for Meralu to see the details clearly. She had to wait for it to land a little lower before she could make a clear distinction.

Just when Han Xin was ready for battle, the steel dragon in the sky suddenly stopped.

Everyone, including Han Xin, was puzzled by this.

But before he could continue to think deeply, the steel dragon suddenly changed its posture, flapped its wings, and continued to fly away into the distance.

With the departure of the steel dragon, the entire sea area calmed down again, and everyone's worries were completely put at ease.

Luchika removed the scope of the light crossbow,

"I'm glad I listened to you, Admiral Fiorina, or I might have made a terrible mistake."

Fiorina, who was mentioned, smiled.

"Maybe we're lucky. It seems this steel dragon has no interest in us. Let's go back to the cabin and say hello to our crew and guests."

On the other side, Kate collapsed on the deck, tears of happiness flowing from her eyes after surviving the disaster.

But Instructor Jay picked her up, spanked her butt as a punishment for her disobedience, and brought her back to the cabin.

Han Xin jumped down and returned to the deck, but he kept staring at the dark hurricane in the distance that was out of tune with the blue sky and white clouds, trying to find the figure of the steel dragon in the darkness, as if thinking about something.

Ye Zi ignored his friend's prank, and with the sound of Pipi hitting and Kate's crying as the background sound, he turned to Han Xin.

"Phew, that's dangerous. Luckily, we were just passing by... Mr. Benefactor, let's go back and tell Alulu we're safe."

In response to Ye Zi's suggestion, Han Xin nodded, but did not turn around immediately. Instead, he continued to look at the black storm fading from the sea level with a solemn expression on his face.

After a while, Han Xin restrained his murderous aura and showed his usual nonchalant look, and followed Ye Zi back to the cabin.

However, no one present, including Han Xin, knew that the steel dragon's departure was not due to disdain.

But because...

fear.

The steel dragon was flying aimlessly, but it could not forget the look of the cat in its eyes just now.

As an ancient dragon, his eyesight is naturally superior to that of humans or ordinary monsters.

From high in the sky, He could observe the cat's entire appearance and even every detail.

In addition, the ancient dragon's wisdom is beyond that of ordinary creatures,

He was keenly aware that beneath the seemingly harmless cat's skin, flowed the same noble blood as his own.

Hidden in his upside-down golden pupils is... [Ancient Dragon].

It was a hidden oppression, a concealed intimidation, and a terrifying force that made even an ancient dragon like him shudder.

Even though his eyes were calm and serious, Steel Dragon could still read the murderous intent in the deepest part of them.

At the same time, a feeling of humiliation surged into the heart of this [God].

As an existence that transcends ecological niches, as the embodiment of natural disasters, as an ancient dragon who has never felt fear and oppression from others in his life,

This steel dragon has a new emotion called "jealousy".

He secretly made up his mind that one day in the future, he would get rid of this cat.

Just like that time... when I arbitrarily ravaged his fellow tribesmen...

He then looked back at the ship and realized the direction it was heading, which was somewhere near the Fortress Heights.
