Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

After spending a long time with Han Xin, Ye Zi and Alulu not only understood these prank jokes, but also often used them to make fun of each other after learning them.

Seeing Alulu's expression, Ye Zi immediately let go of Han Xin's arms, raised his hands, and said awkwardly but politely, "I'm going to surrender."

"Ahahaha...bad luck...I'm so deeply in love, I can't help but feel it~"

As soon as Ye Zi let go, Han Xin immediately walked towards the door.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Don't save me dinner... I should be heading straight back to Fortress Heights."

"Well, be careful, my child's dad meow~"

The words of the old couple made Ye Zi feel helpless.

"Really? Mr. Benefactor has only been back for a day, and he's leaving already. Alulu, you didn't even bother trying to get him to stay."

"Why try to keep him, meow? I'm already happy that he can come back to see me, meow. Men are like sand. The more you hold them in your hands, the more they slip away, meow~"

Well... hehe, Yezi, you are still young, it is normal that you don’t understand, meow~"

Alulu still looked as if she didn't care, which made Ye Zi even more confused about how to refute.

"I don't understand... Then I'll be leaving now. Next time I come back, I'll bring new toys for Daimao and Xiangkeke. They're definitely more fun than the toys Mr. Benefactor found in the Fortress Heights! Bye~"

"Ghana meow~"

As soon as Han Xin walked out, Ye Zi followed him out.

After looking around, Ye Zi found Han Xin's back and quickly followed him.

"Mr. Benefactor, you've been absent-minded since you came back yesterday. What happened?"

Glancing at Ye Zi, Han Xin said indifferently:

"Recently, we've seen some unusual situations in the Fortress Heights. For example, the Ice Wolf Dragon tribe has lost several members in a short period of time, and the surviving members are all covered in wounds.

A monster that threatens the top of its ecological niche, I suspect a more powerful monster has appeared, which is why I'm feeling uneasy."

Although Han Xin seemed very cold on the surface, there was an inexplicable trust between them, so he didn't care.

"Oh, that's really unbelievable! Fortunately, these monsters don't appear in areas where humans live, otherwise our hunters' workload would increase...

Ah! But why didn't you report such an important matter to the guild or the research institute first?!

As if he had realized something, Ye Zi asked Han Xin in surprise.

The latter said lightly:

"Nothing is more urgent than my desire to see someone important."

Hearing this, Ye Zi stopped.

She knew that the "important person" Han Xin was talking about was Alulu, but a certain emotion surged in her heart, making her lower her brows.

Soon, Ye Zi regained his usual expression and followed Han Xin out of the meeting place and headed to the Monster Research Institute to obtain information.

As soon as I stepped into the door, I saw that the entire institute was very busy.

Several scholars in white robes were rushing back and forth between the rooms, some holding piles of materials, some holding stacks of documents.

Even the scholars who were standing together to talk were arguing endlessly with sweat on their foreheads.

"Oh...why does it feel like the research institute is so busy today..."

Ye Zi looked at the scholars who were busy with their work and felt a little embarrassed to say hello.

On the contrary, Han Xin, with a carefree look, stopped a familiar female researcher.

"Hey! Pretty girl, why is it so lively today? What happened?"

At first, the female researcher was in a hurry and didn't notice Han Xin. But when she heard the familiar voice, she immediately stopped and looked down, then said in surprise:

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Han Xin? How come you have time to come to Elgard's Monster Research Institute today?"

Seeing that the female researcher knew him, Han Xin quickly searched his memory for her identity.

Soon he hammered his palm and thought about it.

"Oh, I recognize you. You're the scholar who asked me about the details of the Wind and Thunder Dragon training at the Longxiang stronghold a few months ago!"

This is said in public, and it will be very embarrassing for outsiders to hear.

But the female scholar nodded proudly.

"Yes, that's right, it's me! You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to introduce myself! My name is Lucilla, and I'm a monster breeding researcher!"

Then, Lucilla suddenly came back to her senses and continued apologetically:

"Ah... Although I really want to discuss some ecological academic issues with you, as you can see, our institute is in a mess right now, and I can't entertain you properly.

I suppose you're here for something, right? If it's something I can do, I'll help you solve it as soon as possible."

Seeing the researcher's awkward expression, Han Xin nodded without hesitation and went straight to the point.

"Recently, while exploring the Fortress Highlands, I unexpectedly discovered that there were some abnormalities in the Ice Wolf Dragon tribe in the northern region. Some were dead, some were injured.

I don’t know if you have noticed the reason or if you have any clues.”

Hearing this, Lucilla was stunned at first.

"Fortress Heights? The northern part? Could it be..."

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a hunter standing behind Han Xin, his eyes blinking and standing there blankly like a minion.

"Um... this is..."

"Eh? Me? My name is Bailong Yezi, and I'm a support hunter who came to Elgard from Yanhuo Village to study! I think I should have seen you when I was at the Longxiang Base!"

"Ah! It's the hunter lady who participated in the battle between the Wind Dragon and the Thunder Dragon! Nice to meet you,

Actually, I am not very good at monster training... No, I am not very good at anything other than monster research.

I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first sight, Miss Hunter."

Lucilla bowed slightly apologetically, then continued with a sense of relief:

"Since Miss Yezi is also a hunter who has had encounters with ancient dragons, then I have nothing to hide."

Lucilla stuffed the documents in her hand into the hands of a colleague who was passing by.

After heartlessly saying "Please pass it to the professor, thank you, thank you, I will treat you to rabbit dumplings later",

Then he turned to look at Ye Zi and Han Xin,

"In fact, the question Mr. Han Xin just asked may be the reason why we are so anxious right now, because what Mr. Han Xin mentioned... involves ancient dragons, and it happened suddenly."

Previously, she did not answer Han Xin's question immediately because she saw the "unrelated person" behind her.

Under normal circumstances, scholars will not disclose ancient dragon information to ordinary people.

But the person behind Han Xin was well-known in the Hunter Guild and the Research Institute; and as a hunter who had fought against the ancient dragon, there was nothing to worry about.

Ye Zi: “Huh?!”

"Another Gu Long 1⊙⑺Ba Si Wife Private Wu VI?!"

When Han Xin heard these two words, he rolled his eyes. He now sincerely felt that the so-called ancient dragons were probably the same number as the stray dogs on the roadside.

"Things are a bit complicated, please follow me."

Following Lucilla's guidance, everyone came to a room.

At first glance, it may seem a bit messy here, but in fact most of the things displayed are books. You can easily get what you want, so there is order in the chaos.

It is also because it is in the inner room of the institute that it seems relatively quiet.

The special aroma of slightly moldy pages makes people feel relaxed. As Lucilla said, it is a good place for conversation.

"This is where I usually do my academic research. It's at least much quieter than the hall. I also have detailed information on the issues Mr. Han Xin mentioned.

There’s nothing more intuitive than looking directly at an observation report.”

As she spoke, Lucilla picked up the top few pages of paper on the desk and handed them to Han Xin.

The latter took it and started reading immediately, while Ye Zi also leaned his head over and followed Han Xin happily to read.

As Han Xin read, his eyes flashed faster and faster along with the words, and his brows became more solemn.

Ye Zi widened her eyes and covered her mouth which was open in surprise.

After finishing reading, Han Xin put down the report in his hand, lowered his head and was silent for a moment.

Then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing as he looked towards the northern part of the Fortress Highlands, a cruel and sinister smile on his face.

"It turned out to be the Strange Victory Steel Dragon! It's like searching for something without any effort!"

It turned out that the report just now recorded that the researchers in the airship of the Elgard Monster Research Institute clearly saw the strange steel dragon appear in the northern area of ​​the Fortress Highlands.

Write down all the details you observe.

Previously, he was still hesitant about whether to risk entering the northern snow region, but now, knowing that the enemy of his body was there,

Han Xin's few remaining consciences also began to encourage him to seek revenge.

He touched the chest of his body and felt the surge in his heart.

However, Han Xin's silly words made the two people present a little confused, and Ye Zi asked bluntly:

"Eh? Mr. Benefactor, why are you so excited?"

Just as Han Xin was about to explain, this strange steel dragon was most likely the one that destroyed the Melalu tribe in the Fortress Heights.

But he suddenly remembered Lie Ren's instructions a long time ago. The latter did not want to publicize the matter, perhaps because he was worried that Ye Zi and others would be in danger for his revenge plan.

In the final analysis, Ye Zi has not fully grown up, and ordinary hunters are simply unable to defeat the strange and powerful ancient dragon.

Han Xin took a deep breath, then regained his composure and tried to make up an excuse to get away with it.

"No, it's nothing. I encountered a steel dragon on the ship to Elgard before, but I didn't expect to encounter this ancient dragon again.

After all, I am a guild-recognized Bachelor of Ecology, so naturally I am curious about the mysteries of the ancient dragons."

"Oh! I understand, I understand! Mr. Han Xin is indeed a rare beastman who likes to study monsters!"

After hearing what Han Xin said, Lucilla immediately believed it and exclaimed with joy.

Ye Zi nodded, believing Han Xin's words. Then she asked a question that was very relevant to her identity as a hunter:

"Since the strange Overcoming Steel Dragon has appeared in the north of the Fortress Highlands, and Mr. Benefactor mentioned that the Ice Wolf Dragon tribe has also been harmed, does this prove that it has affected the local ecology?
