I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"boom!"

As the entrance of the cave cracked, a huge figure rushed out of the cave, and broken stones shot around like cannonballs.

"Danger!"

In a hurry, Xier and Shirahoshi could only roll over to avoid the rubble, but even though they reacted quickly, the large number of rubbles could not withstand them, and they were hit even if they dodged quickly.

"This is!"

The creature that appeared before their eyes was... a great and ferocious jackal dragon?

To be honest, the two were not sure of their judgment, because although the creature in front of them looked like a ferocious jackal-dragon, the features on its body did not seem like those of a ferocious jackal-dragon.

The creature in front of him had the appearance of a great ferocious jackal dragon, but its body was covered with white spots of varying degrees, and it also emitted miasma, as if a dead and moldy corpse had come back to life.

"This white spot!"

The two spoke at the same time. Looking at the things on the body of the fierce jackal dragon, Xier couldn't help but think of the white substance she had seen before. Obviously, Bai Xing also thought of this.

"Is this caused by the ancient dragon?"

Bai Xing quietly slipped over to Xier and asked.

The huge and ferocious jackal dragon in front of them seemed to be in great pain. It was just destroying things everywhere and did not notice the two of them, so Bai Xing was able to sneak here smoothly.

"I guess so……"

Xier was not sure either, but if nothing unexpected happened, this ferocious jackal dragon was the one the two had fought before. For some reason, it had been contaminated with some of the ancient dragon's power and turned into what it is now.

"This is such a headache... This destructive power and violent level are just like a small Tyrannosaurus Rex..."

Bai Xing muttered as he looked at the ferocious jackal dragon that was destroying everywhere. While the two were talking, the ferocious jackal dragon had already knocked down many trees, and the original forest was about to be flattened.

"It looks like it's not going to stop."

Bai Xing clenched the bow and arrow in his hand.

"I thought I could find a way out, but if I let it run rampant, I'm afraid the ecology of this area will be completely destroyed..."

Helplessly, Bai Xing turned to Xier and said, "Xier, I will attract its attack, and you take the opportunity to attack it from behind. Be careful of the miasma."

"Um"

Xier nodded, sneaked to the other side, and waited for Bai Xing's signal.

The great ferocious jackal dragon was still wreaking havoc, violently attacking everything in sight, even the ferocious jackal dragons that coexisted with it were no exception.

To be honest, Shirahoshi didn't want to hunt at this time, but the damage to the ecology by the fierce jackal dragon was too great. If they were hunting, they wouldn't have to attack at all, they just had to wait for the fierce jackal dragon to run out of energy. Even a violent Tyrannosaurus Rex would get tired. But Seele and Shirahoshi knew that hunters were never just hunting. Hunters were more about maintaining the balance of the ecology while ensuring the survival of humans. That's why there are special guild hunters, and the rules of the guild hunters clearly state that no dragon can be killed at will except on commission.

"呲呲呲"

As a burning sound was heard, Xier knew that Shirahoshi's attack was ready.

"Whoosh!"

As the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air rang out, just like before, Shirahoshi's dragon arrow accurately hit the maddened ferocious jackal dragon, successfully attracting its attention.

"It's now……"

Xier jumped out from behind the rock, waving the insect stick in her hand, and the hunting insect flew out and hit the ferocious jackal dragon.

Since the hunter bug's attack was weaker than Shirahoshi's Dragon Arrow, the Great Ferocious Jackal Dragon completely ignored Xier and continued to run towards Shirahoshi.

As the hunting insects returned, a life energy was injected into Xier's body, giving her a boost in strength.

"it is good……"

Feeling the power coming from her body, Xier wielded the insect-controlling stick and flew up, hitting the back of the great jackal dragon with a precise attack. With the help of the back of the great jackal dragon, Xier jumped again, pointed the stick vertically downward, and inserted it straight into the body of the great jackal dragon with the help of gravity. The hunting insects released in the air also fell rapidly with Xier's action, cutting the wound.

This is a commonly used move of the Insect Gyro. This attack can inflict strong penetrating damage to monsters, and because it attacks from the air, few monsters can defend against it.

The ferocious jackal dragon felt pain in its back, but there was nothing it could do about it. It could only roar and continue to attack Shirahoshi.

"Come on! Come and hit me! Hey (▔, ▔) hey"

Bai Xing slid and rolled flexibly in the midst of the fierce attack of the great fierce jackal dragon, and occasionally drew her bow and shot arrows directly at the head of the great fierce jackal dragon. Bai Xing was like a butterfly playing in the flowers, and the violent attacks could only pass by her but never hit her.

"(＃｀皿?)"

Although he didn't understand what the little bug was saying, the big fierce jackal dragon felt inexplicably angry, so his already violent attack became even more fierce.

The White Star in the front was taunting wildly, while Xier in the back was attacking with all her might.

After such continuous attacks, the ferocious jackal dragon finally couldn't bear the exhaustion of its physical strength, and stopped where it was, gasping for breath.

But Xier and Shirahoshi will not stop. They both control their physical energy consumption very well during the attack. The stagnation of the great ferocious jackal dragon is the best time to attack.

"Take that! Thousand Arrows of the Dragon"

Shirahoshi placed the flint he had just picked up from the ground on the bow through the catapult. As the bow was shot out with great force, the flint with explosive effect shot towards the big ferocious jackal dragon like a shotgun.

"Bang bang bang!"

The flint, which was already extremely explosive, was strongly stimulated and exploded directly on the face of the ferocious jackal dragon.

"Roar!"

This time, no matter how big the ferocious jackal dragon was, it couldn't withstand the impact and fell to the ground.

Xier swung the stick vigorously, using inertia to strike directly at the belly of the ferocious jackal dragon.

But just when Xier was about to attack the big ferocious jackal dragon, she felt a chill. Xier quickly shifted her attack, pulled the stick back with both hands, pushed herself back against the ground and jumped into the air, then spun and rolled in the air, and immediately moved three meters away.

Just as Xier completed this set of movements, a visible miasma suddenly erupted from the body of the great ferocious jackal dragon, and the white spots on its body seemed to be stimulated, spreading rapidly from its original distribution, and in just a few breaths it had spread to all parts of the body.

At this time, the fierce jackal dragon had completely lost its original appearance. Its body was covered with white spots and it no longer looked like a living creature. At this moment, it looked more like a dead body.

"Hiss, what is this thing!"

This horrifying change made the two girls shudder. Although they had the ability to defeat it, it was really disgusting!

“Is this… mold?”

Xier looked at the white substance on the body of the great ferocious jackal dragon. The mold was not obvious before, but this change made the mold active and had obvious characteristics, which allowed Xier to recognize it.

The ferocious jackal dragon that had undergone the second transformation seemed to have completely lost its mind. It stood there like a dead body, constantly emitting miasma.

"What should we do, Captain?"

Xier couldn't help but frowned as she looked at the miasma emitted by the fierce jackal dragon. The two of them did not carry any equipment to resist the miasma. If they stayed in the miasma for a long time, even if they could successfully defeat the fierce jackal dragon, they would still suffer great trauma.

"Really? It was just a simple mission, how could it turn out like this?!"

Bai Xing looked at the big fierce jackal dragon and complained speechlessly: "It's obviously just a big fierce jackal dragon, isn't it better to be a big fierce jackal dragon? Why does it have a second stage of transformation!!!"

"But we can't just ignore it. I'm afraid no creature in this place can resist this kind of miasma with such destructive power..."

Bai Xing looked at the ferocious jackal dragon with a sad face.

"We can only try to use the flint to dispel the miasma and solve it quickly..."

Looking at the remaining flints in his hand, Bai Xing sighed.

The essence of miasma is the aggregation product of microorganisms, so flames can disperse miasma very well. However, Xier and the others only have a few flints that can produce flames, so they can only try to kill this ferocious jackal dragon that constantly produces miasma in the shortest time possible.

"Are you ready? Xi'er?"

Bai Xing placed the flint on the catapult and aimed it near the big ferocious jackal dragon.

"Ready."

Gripping the insect-control stick tightly again, Xier nodded.

"on!"

Following Bai Xing's command, a round of flint fell around the big ferocious jackal dragon, producing a continuously burning flame. The surrounding miasma was instantly dispelled, leaving a clearing.

Xier followed closely behind. This time, Xier did not choose to attack from the sky. Although attacking from the sky could ensure her own safety, at this time Xier had to ensure the greatest output in the shortest time, so output on the ground was the best choice.

With the power of running, Xier swung the insect stick and slashed it directly on the head of the fierce jackal dragon. Xier did not stop, and turned her wrist vigorously to pull back the insect stick that was slashing out horizontally. Two consecutive vertical slashes cut two holes in the abdomen of the fierce jackal dragon.

At this time, the big fierce jackal dragon finally made a move, it stiffly raised its claws and slapped Xier, but how could Xier let it hit her? Xier spun around to avoid the attack, and at the same time slashed at the belly of the big fierce jackal dragon again.

"Tear!"

With a tearing sound, the originally solid skin was directly cut open by Xier, revealing flesh and blood.

"Pfft!"

Xier landed on the ground, turned around, held the insect stick with both hands, and stabbed it straight into the chest of the big ferocious jackal dragon. A fist-sized hole was opened directly in the chest of the big ferocious jackal dragon, revealing some internal organs.

After the attack was successful, Xier dodged immediately. She knew that she could not kill the great ferocious jackal dragon in the shortest time by herself, so she chose to help Shirahoshi expose the heart of the great ferocious jackal dragon and let Shirahoshi complete the final attack.

"Well done!"

Shirahoshi's voice came, and she was half-kneeling on the ground, with three burning arrows on her bow. If other bow hunters saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim. Because Shirahoshi was holding three dragon arrows on her bow. Ordinary hunters would have to bear a huge impact to release a dragon arrow, but at this time, Shirahoshi was releasing three dragon arrows at the same time, which seemed impossible to others.

"Three, two, one, go!"

There is no fancy name for the move. Three dragon arrows were released by Shirahoshi, hitting the hole opened by Xier with precision.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three loud explosions were heard and smoke and dust spread everywhere.

The vicious jackal dragon in the fog has been defeated!

Chapter 13: Traces of the Molten Mountain Dragon

After defeating the misty and vicious jackal dragon, Xier and the others returned to the base and told the commander-in-chief what had happened.

This huge change caused by the ancient dragon naturally attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief, and according to the commander-in-chief, this is a brand new ancient dragon that has never been observed before. After sending personnel to search for the ancient dragon for many times but still failing to find any trace, the commander-in-chief had no choice but to give up investigating the new ancient dragon. After all, their main goal now is to investigate the traces of the Molten Mountain Dragon. The incident of the new ancient dragon also came to an end for the time being.

After this hunt, Xi'er and the other two officially formed a team. After that, Xi'er and the other two participated in various investigation missions many times and achieved remarkable results. Their reputation in Xingchen became bigger and bigger. With their help, the research institute also made important breakthroughs in the research on the Molten Mountain Dragon. The two who accepted the commission of the institute set out to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland with the mission of searching for the Molten Mountain Dragon's traces.

"It's so hot..."

Bai Xing wiped the sweat from his head. Even though he was used to the harsh environment during the mission, it was still uncomfortable after all.

"Okay... stop complaining. You've said this many times along the way..."

Xier looked at Bai Xing speechlessly. After many team hunts, Xier completely understood her captain's personality. She looked like a sunny and reliable big sister, but in fact, she was always like a child. For example, she would capture environmental creatures from time to time during the mission. The mission that could be completed in one day was always extended because of her. There was no other captain who could be attracted by a butterfly.

Moreover, this guy is a hamster party. He would hoard everything he encountered. He would always plunder all the things he encountered during the mission. When he came back from an empty backpack, it was actually overflowing with boxes. The Devil Rex cub had to spend a long time to pack up every time.

The Tyrannosaurus cub is the editor who partners with Shirahoshi. This title was given by Seele. Seele originally thought that Shirahoshi was weird enough, but she didn't expect that the most reliable person in the entire team was also a weirdo.

At first, Xier didn't notice it, but since Xier noticed that the editor often sat in the chef's cooking booth for a whole day, Xier realized that this knowledgeable, brave and bold editor was not an easy person to deal with. According to a member of the fifth group who claimed to be a food hunter, the editor could eat more than ten servings of cat food a day, and still look eight-tenths full. Just like a tyrannosaurus.

After Xi'er's observation, the editor was indeed like this, and under Xi'er's indirect questioning, the chef revealed that since the editor came, the food supply of the entire base has increased by one third. From then on, the editor became a Tyrannosaurus Rex cub in Xi'er's mind.

"Alas, two-thirds of the people in the entire team are weird. What should I do..." Xier often sighed like this.

However, despite this, Xier never regretted teaming up with Shirahoshi, and the relationship between Xier and Shirahoshi grew deeper day by day, as if they were born to be friends.

"Look! The guide insect is responding!"

Xier saw that the guide insect she released had responded, and hurriedly called out to Bai Xing, but received no response for a long time.

(What's wrong? Why haven't you responded in such a long time?)

Xier looked back in confusion, but saw that Bai Xing, who had been following her closely, had disappeared.

"! Where are the people?"

Xier was shocked. Bai Xing disappeared silently. Could there be an enemy?

Thinking of this, Xier clenched her weapon, ready to attack at any time.

"Great!"

Suddenly, there was a "Yeah!" which scared Xier, and then she realized that it was Bai Xing's voice.

"(▼ヘ▼＃)! Captain Shirahoshi! You're slacking off again!"

Xier only felt her blood pressure rising. Ever since the two of them became familiar with each other, Bai Xing had completely let go of himself. His nature that had been suppressed was directly released, and he didn't even act anymore.

"Eh? What's the matter, Xi'er?"

Bai Xing poked her head out from behind a rock and asked, obviously she didn't hear what Xier said at all.

"I... eh, forget it..."

Xier was about to get angry but she couldn't help but lose her temper when she thought about how Bai Xing had always been like this. Who made Bai Xing complete the task so well every time? She was obviously slacking off, but you couldn't say anything to her. This feeling of not being able to say anything and not being able to persuade her made Xier feel like she was raising a child herself.

"The guide insect has responded."
