Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 173: The New Black Eclipse Dragon, the Investigation Team's Fire Dragon Observation Mission
In the Grand Canyon north of the Ancient Tree Forest, in a hidden crevice of rocks, a huge corpse, completely black and with severely atrophied muscles, was stuck in the debris. Upon closer inspection, it actually looked a bit like the corpse of a Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Flocks of hateful birds circled in the sky, but they were blocked from finding the body by the messy debris below.

Click!

A tiny sound like a shell breaking came from the corpse, and then a strange scene happened.

I saw cracks appearing on the dark body of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and then a blood-red wing claw suddenly broke through the cracked black skin like a zombie crawling out of a cemetery, making a crisp sound of bones rubbing against each other in the air.

Afterwards, the body of the Thunder Wolf Dragon seemed to split apart, like a silkworm pupa that was about to be discarded. The Black Dragon crawled out of its body, its bones soft, and it struggled weakly bit by bit, slowly wriggling its body.

During this process, the membranes on his wings began to loosen, and the scales all over his body gradually became hard. His body expanded rapidly like a balloon. In less than half an hour, a newborn black dragon with a body length of only 15 meters stood firmly in the rubble with the support of its four legs and wings.

At this time, the thorns on the black dragon's body had not yet fully grown, and as its wings fluttered, black scales flew around. He had no eyes, and before his own perception had grown, he had to rely on these scales carrying the Mad Dragon virus to sense the surrounding situation.

Turning its head and walking towards the corpse of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which had only a layer of shell left, the Black Dragon opened its bloody mouth without any disgust and ate up all the remains of the corpse.

For the Black Eclipse Dragon, which is still in its infancy and too weak to compete with large monsters, this corpse serves as a breeding ground for it, and not a single nutrient can be wasted.

Some of the scale powder sprinkled by the Black Dragon was controlled by it and kept near its body to act as eyes, while a small part was carried away by the strong wind in the Grand Canyon and floated towards the ancient tree forest below.

Time passed quickly and more than half a month had passed.

On this day, a meeting was held at the Star Base, and it was finally decided to issue a long-term observation mission called "Red and Silver Burning Flame", which could only be accepted by hunter teams with a special assessment level of six stars or above in the New World.

Six stars!

This is a mission level that can only be accomplished by ancient dragons or monsters with regional destructive power.

What's more, this is a long-term observation mission, which means that the field investigation will take at least half a year.

However, the content of the investigation is very simple, which is to stay outside the ancient tree and conduct ecological observations on the entire ancient tree fire dragon group and the king of fire dragons.

With the care of the fire dragons Detel, the danger level is not that high. The trouble is that because the ancient tree area is far away from the base, it means that the hunter team going to investigate will be isolated and helpless, surviving in the depths of the forest filled with all kinds of powerful creatures.

Strictly speaking, the risk is not low.

However, once the mission was announced, many teams applied.

There is no other way. The main task of the investigation team now is to open up a safe route. Along the way, they try their best to avoid the territories of powerful monsters with high ecological niches. The hunters often deal with basically some thugs, pterosaurs and the like.

Those with high ecological niches basically come into contact with the rough man, Orosaurus.

Therefore, for these elites with a strong pioneering and adventurous spirit, observing the fire dragon group is really a dream, even if it is a little dangerous. "Haha, these guys are really energetic! Very good, but if they continue like this, I'm afraid there will be a conflict over this mission." The head of the group folded his hands, looked at the noisy crowd in front of the mission counter, and grinned.

As the elites of the first-phase group, most hunters are qualified to take on six-star missions, and several outstanding talents who have joined the second-phase group are also qualified.

Therefore, half of the hunters of the investigation team came to the counter at once, which made the poster girl in charge of issuing tasks a little distressed.

"You're right. This mission was indeed issued hastily. Everyone has been hiding nearby for so many years, and the Big Anthill Wasteland has been maintaining the safety of the transportation route. They are all bored. We should have considered this before."

Carlos rubbed his forehead. As the commander-in-chief, he was to blame for this situation. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

"Yes, but it's too late to regret now, so in my opinion, in order to prevent possible conflicts, I will take over this task! I believe that with my strength, I will definitely convince them."

Carlos' mouth twitched. He knew that this guy was a restless person. He took the initiative to drag him to the Star Ship to see this scene with this plan in mind.

Carlos sighed lightly and did not refuse. After all, judging from the current situation, this was indeed a solution.

Besides, even if I disagree, given the captain's temperament, he will go out alone to investigate sooner or later.

Moreover, because of his presence in the Star Stronghold, the situation is becoming increasingly stable, and most monsters dare not approach the pass. There is no need to worry about being impacted by large numbers of monsters. Hunters of the Grand Commander's level should not be confined to the stronghold.

Having a sword master is enough to deal with most situations.

After figuring this out, Carlos nodded slightly.

"Then I'll leave it to you! Remember to bring your equipment. If it's you, try to explore the ancient tree area as well. It would be best if you could build a small camp near the ancient tree."

The Grand Commander did not refuse Carlos' request. It should be said that he would have done so even if Carlos had not mentioned it.

"But when we get to the upper level of the ancient tree, should we ask Tonkotsu to join us? Sometimes it's hard to get used to it without a hunting cat."

This thought came to the Grand Commander. Tonkotsu was Sita's disciple, and he had an obligation to help it grow.

What's more, Tonkotsu is one of the 'seniors' of the investigation team. Although he is currently on vacation, he shouldn't refuse this request, right?
Just as the Grand Commander announced that he would take over the task and began to deal with the verbal attacks from the hunters.

Second floor, forge house.

The leader of the logistics team came out holding a big lock and with a somewhat morbid smile.

This is a special door lock that he developed in his spare time after discussing with the craftsmen. He doesn't believe that this new lock will not last more than a week!
In the corner of the forge, the invisible Xialong curled up and came out quietly.

This time, he watched the entire process of making the lock with his own eyes. He didn't believe that this new lock could stop him for five days like the previous one!
