Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 30: First Confrontation with Xialong
A moving high-temperature fireball suddenly appeared in the thick fog. This fireball could actually burn its own poisonous fog, which made Xialong feel very strange. His big eyes, which were as wise as those of the poisonous bird and could see 360° around, were full of curiosity. He couldn't help but get closer to see what it was.

As Xialong approached, Luo Yun could not only sense Xialong's presence with his mind and eyes, but his field of vision would also occasionally flash by Xialong's true appearance, as if a wrong slide had appeared.

Xialong's perfect invisibility requires three necessary conditions to be met.

The first is the ability of epidermal mimicry. Xialong's invisibility does not mean making the body transparent, but allowing its epidermis to receive information about the surrounding environment at any time for mimicry, just like a chameleon.

The second is the refraction of light. Xialong controls the refraction of light by controlling the mist he releases. The displayed words are written at the wrong angle, thus creating an effect similar to a mirage.

The third is the toxin in the fog. This toxin can enter the enemy's body through breathing and skin. The senses of the poisoned person will be greatly affected without knowing it, and may even cause hallucinations.

It was because the poisonous fog affected Yaji's senses that she did not notice something was wrong at the first time, thus missing the best time to escape.

If any one of these three conditions is not met, Xialong's invisibility will no longer be perfect invisibility.

It just so happened that Luo Yun's flaming body isolated the poisonous fog outside, causing Xialong's invisibility to appear flawed in front of him, allowing him to observe Xialong's existence. The amplification brought by the heart eye also played an important role in this.

Yaji was a little confused as to why Luo Yun was looking in that direction with such a vigilant look on his face. In her sight, there was nothing there!

However, years of living together day and night made her absolutely trust Luo Yun's judgment, so even though her body still couldn't muster much strength, she still maintained a vigilant attitude.

At this moment, Luo Yun was thinking about what to do next?
Although large creatures like Luo Yun and Yaji are not on Xialong's menu, Xialong is not a very bloodthirsty and murderous ancient dragon. And apart from the ability of poisonous fog, Xialong's combat power is also one of the lowest among ancient dragons.

But it’s still Gu Long!

Its skin, scales, bone density, and vitality still surpass most monsters in the world.

And even if Luo Yun wanted to fight, he couldn't let go at this moment, so he could only make a threatening gesture and look vigilantly at the moving Xialong.

From Xialong's perspective, as it got closer, it discovered that there was actually a male fire dragon in the ball of fire, and next to the male fire dragon was a strong female fire dragon.

This made Xialong a little confused. Why was there still a fire dragon staying in his poisonous fog instead of leaving quickly?

Especially the vigilant and intimidating attitude of Luo Yun and Yaji made Xialong, who was already uncomfortable due to the abnormal earth energy and noise during this period, a little angry.

Even though it is not yet a full adult, it is not something that a creature like a fire dragon can provoke!

That's right, Luo Yun and his men's defensive posture at this time was actually seen as a provocation in the eyes of Xia Long, who was somewhat irritated and reduced in intelligence due to the noise of Tiandi Huangti Dragon!
Honest people also have temper!
Even the very Buddhist Xialong will take the initiative to attack after being provoked.

Then a ball of deep purple venom suddenly spurted out from the thick fog.

Luo Yun subconsciously planned to take off directly to avoid the poisonous fog, but suddenly he realized Yaji behind him. He gritted his teeth and planned to rely on his flaming body to resist.

The flames wrapped around his body can reduce the toxicity of the venom through high temperature, so he should have no problem resisting this.

I guess so.
Luo Yun wasn't sure, but that was his plan.

But in the next second, a wing with charming patterns appeared in front of him, blocking the venom.

Yaji howled in pain, her wings hanging limply, and her body trembled in pain.

Xialong's toxin contains a toxin that attacks nerves. This toxin not only reduces the senses, but also stimulates the nerves and increases the pain. Seeing Yaji's painful appearance, Luo Yun's eyes instantly turned red.

The dragon's blood boiled, his muscles tensed, and along with the rage, the energy in Luo Yun's body quickly gathered.

He didn't care whether the one in front of him was an ancient dragon or not. The scorching flames accumulated in his throat, and the fire bag was squeezed desperately. The intense heat even made Luo Yun's neck look like it was reflecting red flames from the outside.

"Roar!"

A fan-shaped flame erupted from Luo Yun's mouth, carrying wisps of purple-red flames that cleared the poisonous fog in the path, and a heat wave hit his face.

The high temperature that exceeded that of normal flames surprised Xialong. The burning sensation on its scales made it let out a not-so-loud howl. Although the actual damage was not high, it did cause some damage to it.

Xialong, who was injured for the first time since he was born, moved quickly and stiffly, avoiding the flames and returning to the fog. Another burst of poisonous fog spewed out of Xialong's mouth, filling the area emptied by the flames.

But immediately afterwards, three fireballs flew straight towards Xialong, one of which successfully hit him, and the explosion caused him to knock Xialong over.

"Can he see me?"

A question appeared in Xialong's mind.

Xialong has a very high IQ. When he realized in an instant that his invisibility had been discovered, his low-key Buddhist instinct instantly overwhelmed his angry emotions.

After looking at Luo Yun deeply, he flapped his wings and left without looking back.

It’s not that it can’t beat Luo Yun, nor is it that it is afraid of Luo Yun.

It is accustomed to avoiding fighting and living a low-key life. It seldom conflicts with large monsters, unless it forces them to a certain extent and invades their territory. Otherwise, the Xialong generally avoids fighting and will hardly fight with other creatures.

This is one of the reasons why Xialong was recorded as a low-danger ancient dragon in the records of the human scribes.

It is such an ancient dragon, and it is also the most underestimated ancient dragon by humans.

The retreat of the Xialong meant that Luo Yun's mind could no longer sense its existence, and Luo Yun's anger gradually dissipated.

He did not give up his vigilance and continued to keep the flame burning. He stayed beside Yaji who was lying on the ground in pain and helped her dispel the poisonous fog.

However, the high temperature generated by the flames made Yaji feel very uncomfortable at this time. The toxin stimulated her nerves and amplified her sense of pain. The fire dragon's heat resistance was also reduced a lot at this time.

At this moment, Yaji felt a bit like a person's hand that had been soaked in chili water and felt the spiciness, and then accidentally touched warm water.

It was clearly just warm water, but now it felt like hot water.

Luo Yun could understand Yaji's feelings, but when it came to life, he could only let Yaji try to be patient.

Fortunately, with Xialong's departure, the thick fog dissipated, and soon the area returned to its original state.

Only Yaji lying on the ground and the corpses of the herbivorous dragons in the distance still tell us what exactly this area has experienced.
