Warhammer 40 A New Hope

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The next day

The night was quieter than expected. Apart from a blue bear that had lost its way, a passing velociraptor and a group of migrating herbivorous dragons, there was nothing else.

Compared to the situation where Gu Long demolished the house after a night's sleep, this was indeed a "peaceful" night.

Yesterday, the Lizardman troops had roughly determined the direction of the continent's geomagnetic energy.

This kind of planetary energy is not unique to this world. The places where it gathers often attract a large number of rare creatures, including some powerful ancient dragons (the game also says that some powerful human kingdoms also have the ability to extract earth vein energy).

At the same time, this energy is also extremely huge and can be used to do many different things - similar to the [Spiritual Vein Network] of the Lizardmen.

After some discussion, the Lizardman army was divided into two parts. Nakai led one part of the Lizardmen to find the gathering point of the earth vein energy of this continent, while the other part was led by Zhang Yi and others to find a place far away from the gathering point of the earth vein to establish a ground base - after all, at this stage, Zhang Yi and his men are unlikely to settle down in such a place under the threat of a bunch of powerful monsters.

After breakfast, the two teams split up and headed towards different targets.

Soon, Zhang Yi and his team arrived at the place where they killed the Tyrannosaurus Rex yesterday, and the blood on the rocks had disappeared.

Continuing forward, dense tall grass replaced the forest that blocked out the sun behind them, and a large number of herbivorous creatures and bird-dragon creatures also appeared in the sight of Zhang Yi and others.

However, Zhang Yi and his group were generally tall in stature and had a fairly large team, so the bird dragons dared only watch from afar and were afraid to approach.

The group walked until noon before they began to rest at the foot of a towering mountain.

"I've been walking for so long, and there's nothing but rocks, trees, and various dog dragons, not even a single monster." Zhang Yi sat down on the ground and said. "It's really a vast land with abundant resources..."

"It's not a bad thing. If we really encounter a powerful dragon, we may not be able to escape unscathed." The archangel said. "This is a smooth journey, which is not bad."

Several beetles that looked like ants were moving slowly not far away, with their swollen tails filled with unknown substances.

Suddenly, a long tongue attacks, grabs one of the beetles, and drags it away, where a red-armored beast is feasting on it.

Unknown small creatures were flying in the air, and herbivores were slowly eating food on the ground.

I have to say, if you ignore those ancient dragons that seem like natural disasters, this place is indeed a good place.

Quiet, peaceful, and tranquil.

"...I suddenly want to pet a cat." said Zhang Yi.

"...I think so too," said Sanguinius. "There is a creature called the Felycat in this world, right? It's a good helper for hunters."

"There are many in the village, but in the wild, how can it be so coincidental~"

"Too."

At this moment, a Blood Angel Space Marine wearing heavy armor walked over and saluted Saint Guinness.

"Gene Father, we're on to something."

"What is it?"

"Hmm... a cat that walks upright?"

“Meow meow meow meow—!”

A panicked cat cry was heard, and a cat-like creature wearing simple clothes and walking upright was seen being grabbed by the back of the neck by another [Blood Angels] Space Marine and lifted up.

"You're here just as you said?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the Fey cat struggling in the hands of the Space Marine. "Is there a tribe of Fey cats around here?"

At this time, Sanguinius signaled his offspring to put down the Eluma, and the Eluma cat ran out like a fly as soon as it landed.

Then he ran back...

Saint Genius and Zhang Yi then saw the creature in front of them, which was as tall as an ordinary person's thigh. It seemed to compare them with some huge existence, counted their number, and then...

"Meow meow meow meow!"

"..."

Although I know that the Felyne in front of me has a high IQ, with the intelligence of an average human of thirteen or fourteen years old, and I can also tell that he is really panicked and wants to convey some kind of information to Zhang Yi and others, but... I don't understand...

Soon, the Felyne cat also realized this, so he immediately changed his method, found a branch nearby, and started drawing something on the ground.

A triangle representing a house, a little man with ears representing Felynx, and... some kind of flying dragon...

"I can only tell it's a dragon with wings," Zhang Yi said. "I can't really tell what kind of dragon it is."

"He probably wants us to help his tribe, right?" Sanguinius said.

"This is not a good idea. You may even fail in this world if you wear power armor, not to mention that you are wearing ordinary armor now." Zhang Yi said. "You have experienced the power and absurdity of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Yi and Sanguinius seemed to be discussing something, the Felyne cat in front of them hesitated for a moment, then took out a round blue bead from his bag and handed it to Zhang Yi and others.

"Dragon Jade?" Zhang Yi took the Dragon Jade handed to him by the Fey Cat and asked, "This color, Thunder Wolf Dragon?"

"There are no specific pictures of the various monster materials in the game, so I can't tell them apart..."

At this moment, Sanguinius has begun to recall his descendants who are on guard in the surrounding area. He has decided to go and help.

"So, my suggestion is completely unimportant, right?" Zhang Yi said.

"Aren't you planning to go too?"

"Too."

. . . . . .

"Oh my god, black horned dragon!"

Boom!

With the powerful impact, large chunks of rocks fell from the surrounding mountains and hit the ground.

"Meow meow meow!"

"Meow meow!"

In a mountain tribe with a large number of wild Felyns, a huge, dark and violent creature is wreaking havoc.

The black horned dragon is formed when the body of a female horned dragon changes before or after laying eggs. It is more aggressive and its body color changes to black, which is considered a warning to other species. This horned dragon is much stronger than usual in terms of physical strength, attack power and agility, and is one of the most dangerous flying dragons.

Although the Black Horned Dragon is one of the most violent creatures in the world, it is a bit abnormal that it can actually go deep into the mountain to attack the Felynx tribe.

Whether it is the hunters' village or the Felynx's tribe, they are familiar with the ecology of this world and when building their settlements, they will choose to stay away from the points where the earth energy gathers and places where large monsters often appear, so as to prevent their homes from being lost suddenly without them knowing.

Therefore, it is very strange that the black-horned dragon is running here and wreaking havoc - how did it get into this place?

"Were the eggs stolen?"

Zhang Yi had just finished complaining when he saw a sneaky bird in the distance.

"...You are everywhere, right?"

224. Everyone loves Archangel, including Felyne

Kururuyaku is a bird dragon species covered in feathers that likes to steal dragon eggs. It appeared in Monster Hunter: World.

When fighting with it, it will pick up large rocks, certain minerals, large jars and other things from the ground and smash them at the hunters. In the joint event with ff14, it even holds a piece of [Light of Ether] tightly.

Because of his habit of eating eggs, he often steals eggs from various dragon species - including some dangerous flying dragons.

And his behavior will undoubtedly result in him being beaten by these egg parents.

But sometimes, there are times of success...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Bang—whoosh!

The violent black-horned dragon once again slammed into the rock wall, and then lifted up a large amount of rocks.

When he turned around, he saw the Space Marines appearing behind him.

roar--!

After a roar loud enough to make the air tremble, the furious black-horned dragon rushed towards the enemy behind it, causing the gravel along the way to vibrate.

"Hold him! Buy time to evacuate the Felynes!" Sanguinius ordered. "Don't fight it head-on!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!

DUANG－－!

Amid the heavy footsteps of the Black Horned Dragon, two Blood Angels Space Marines simultaneously slammed into the Black Horned Dragon from the side. Their horns dug into the ground, dragging a groove and slightly reducing the target's speed. Then the other two Space Marines simultaneously lowered their bodies and swung their ceramic steel swords at the legs that it used to stand on.

brush--!

Protected by thick scales, the black-horned dragon was not seriously injured, but the sudden attack on both heads caught it off guard and it fell directly to the ground.

Then, the lizards in the team immediately stepped forward, trying to find a weak point on the giant monster in front of them so as to inject sleeping potions into its body.

But the Black Horned Dragon, which was covered with thick shells, made it difficult for them to attack it. At the same time, it had already begun to try to stand up after falling to the ground.

Ding--click!

Seeing this, Sanguinius stepped forward and inserted the machete in his hand directly between the two horns of the black-horned dragon from above, stuck it, and used it as a point of force to press its head to the ground.

The power of the Primarch, even a Primarch in a weak state, his power is enormous. The Black Horned Dragon who tried to stand up lay down again, his huge wings began to flap, and his huge tail hammer began to swing continuously.

"Hold it!"

The surrounding Lizardmen and Space Marines also stepped forward at this time, holding down the Black Horned Dragon that was struggling on the ground. The Felynx that didn't run away found vines from somewhere and threw them on the Black Horned Dragon.

With the cooperation of everyone, the Black Horned Dragon's struggle began to slow down, and the surrounding lizards finally injected sleeping poison into the wound on the Black Horned Dragon's leg.

After a full jar of medicine was injected into the black-horned dragon's body, a few minutes later, the black-horned dragon's struggle on the ground gradually weakened, and finally it fell into a deep sleep.

The battle on Sanguinius' side came to a temporary end, but things were not going so smoothly on Zhang Yi's side...

. . . . . .

"If you run again, I'll make you into a McDonald's if I catch you!"

“Ga ga ga ga—!”

A yellow bird was running in front, holding the egg tightly in its hand, with a look of panic on its face, while Zhang Yi led his team to chase after it.

Just as Zhang Yi guessed, the bird was hungry, so it boldly tried to steal the eggs of the Ceratopsian - he actually bypassed the Ceratopsian and the Black Ceratopsian and stole the eggs!

And that dragon egg was the only egg of this horned dragon couple, so the entire black horned dragon was in trouble.

Its husband had been knocked down by itself in the first wave of contact and was now dizzy, while it followed the bitch bird all the way here.

At this time, Saoniao relied on the obstacles along the way to keep a distance from Zhang Yi and others, and occasionally threw some stones back to hinder their pursuit.

"I'm going to roast you!"

After dodging the flying stones again, the mark of Khorne on Zhang Yi's arm lit up slightly. Then Zhang Yi's speed increased sharply, and he soon caught up with the bird running wildly in front of him, and with a leap he snatched the dragon egg in his hand.

"Ga, ga, ga!" The bird whose food was taken away made a strange cry, but it did not stay for long and quickly ran away from Zhang Yi and others.

"Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I'll pluck all your hair!" Zhang Yi said, looking at the direction where the bird disappeared. "This thing is so heavy..."

Carrying the heavy Ceratopsian egg in both hands, Zhang Yi began to lead the group towards the meeting place, but soon he would have to face another problem.

"How did we get here?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Elu Cat Camp

"Meow~meow~"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

"Meow?"

Bang!

The surviving Felynx are trying to repair their homes, but it is obvious that the damage caused by the black-horned dragon is too thorough, and most of the wooden tents or houses can no longer be used.

On the other hand, the black-horned dragon bound by Sanguinius was lying in the center of the tribe, still sleeping.

"Oh my god, I'm finally back." Zhang Yi said, carrying the horned dragon egg on his back. "This place is really hidden. I almost walked past it."

Zhang Yi walked to the vicinity of the black-horned dragon and placed the egg in his hand on a pile of soft dry grass.

"What are you going to do?" Sanguinius asked Zhang Yi. "Although we have successfully captured it temporarily, it is not easy to calm it down."

"I'll talk to him directly?" Zhang Yi thought for a moment and shook his left arm. "This world has a great suppressive power over these four guys, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"...you'd better discuss this with your father (Son of the Star)."
