Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 458: Alternative Symbiosis?
Having such a stubborn boss can be quite speechless sometimes.

Although Luo Yun could also understand the cautiousness of the nature consciousness in treating the Dark Dragon, after all, the relationship between him and the Dark Dragon could be seen as an alternative symbiotic relationship.

That’s right, the ancient dragons are actually qualified to have a symbiotic relationship with nature.

Although it is only a time-limited relationship, and it will become a life-and-death battle once the time is up, it is undeniable that before the Dark Dragon successfully hatches, nature will do everything it can to protect the Dark Dragon's cocoon.

Otherwise, based on the fact that the Dark Lantern Dragon has been continuously releasing the light of life that attracts ancient dragons for hundreds of years, there are obviously so many ancient dragons in the Dragon Crystal Land, countless of which can be impressed, but no ancient dragon can find the trace of the Dark Lantern Dragon.

Is it possible that there is no trick involved?
The consciousness of nature needs the Dark Lantern Dragon Cocoon, and uses its power to continuously attract ancient dragons whose lifespans are on the verge of limit. Even if they know it is very dangerous, they are willing to fight and try to survive to come to the new continent.

The Dark Dragon also needs a huge amount of life energy to allow itself to have the huge potential that surpasses the ordinary Dark Red Dragon individuals, so that the world can no longer stop it from becoming the true 'King of Ancient Dragons'!
So the two hit it off.

The consciousness of nature concealed the traces of the Dark Lantern Dragon Cocoon. Although the Dark Lantern Dragon Cocoon did not have complete self-awareness, it instinctively hid in the dragon crystal land and plundered the energy in the earth vein corridor.

This is the real reason why the interval between Gulong Ferry has become shorter and shorter over the years, from hundreds of years to once every ten years.

Most of the energy of the dead ancient dragon was absorbed by the Dark Lantern Dragon. The dragon crystal land, which was originally the turning point of the earth vein corridor and the place where life energy overflowed, became more attractive to ancient dragons because of his existence.

The remaining life energy is supplied to the entire New World through the earth vein corridors, thereby maintaining the ecological environment of the New World.

But this caused a big problem. As the New World continued to expand, the remaining life energy after the Dark Dragon absorbed it was no longer enough to support its expansion speed. In particular, the vibrant ancient tree forest, as the periphery of the New World, needed sufficient energy to drive it.

This means that every ten years or so, the gap has to be filled by creatures from the forest.

And now, the energy absorbed by the Dark Dragon has reached a limit, and its young body has approached perfection. As long as it absorbs the life energy of a top-level ancient dragon, it can achieve the exaggerated achievement of possessing the power of the liberation level at birth.

The transformation of the Dark Dragon is extremely fast. If we cannot get rid of it before it transforms into the Dark Red Dragon, then when it completes the transformation, it will be a disaster for the whole world.

After all, the Dark Red Dragon feeds on the energy of the earth veins. In the environment where the Dark Red Dragon clan lives, only the Dark Red Dragon can survive, and that piece of land will truly "die"!
Therefore, the natural consciousness dares not and does not want to gamble.

And His solution is to let the Molten Dragon die in the Earth Vein Corridor!

Without being filtered through the Miasma Valley, the violent life energy would be madly injected into the earth vein corridor when the Molten Dragon died. The explosion when the Molten Dragon died would be enough to detonate the entire New World, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

And the Dark Lantern Dragon Cocoon in the Dragon Crystal Land will be the first to withstand the self-detonation of an ancient dragon of the unlocked level whose energy has reached the peak. Not to mention that it has not hatched yet, even if it has hatched, it will not be able to withstand it.

Along with the death of the Dark Dragon, the life energy he had absorbed over the years would also be injected into the earth vein corridors. This is equivalent to injecting a large barrel of gasoline into the new continent that has already exploded and turned into a sea of ​​fire.

By then, the New World will probably become a dead land where only magma exists.

Among the existing species in the New World, except for the ancient dragons and some flying dragons that can escape, the rest will become extinct.

This cruel ending is insignificant to the nature consciousness. It can even be said that it is happy to see it happen. After all, the life energy is left behind. The new continent will only change from the existing ecological environment to a pure magma environment. There are still organisms in the magma environment, and a new ecological chain can be formed over time. But for the creatures on the new continent now, this is a mass extinction.

Luo Yun was not afraid. He could guarantee the survival of himself and at least some of the Yaohuo Dragons and cats. However, the natural favorability he had earned through hard work would probably be reset to zero. It was still a question whether he would have a chance to accumulate it again in the future.

After all, the ecology of the Old World has long been stable, and the nature consciousness there will not welcome the arrival of a new ancient dragon like Luo Yun. Of course, corpses are quite welcome!
Therefore, he really had to find a way to intervene in the matter of the Molten Mountain Dragon.

Taking the initiative to participate in weakening the Skeleton Dragon was a test, and letting the ancient dragon girl keep an eye on the recommended group hunters was also a test.

The former infers the way nature's consciousness handles things, while the latter determines whether 'Blue Star' can handle the subsequent Dark Lantern incident on its own, as in the game.

Now it seems that Blue Star is indeed very strong, but the vitality of the ancient dragon is not for show.

Luo Yun really doubted that the Dark Dragon could withstand Darren's attack and complete its transformation.

After all, this world is quite different from the original game world.

Thinking of this, Luo Yun flapped his wings in self-mockery.

Look towards the miasma valley.

A Molten Mountain Dragon can die anywhere, but it must not die in the Earth Corridor.

The Nergigante has just hunted the Skeleton Dragon, and it does not have the energy to interfere with the Molten Dragon in the short term. Now, facing an investigation team with twice the number of people, abundant large-scale equipment, and even replicas of ancient dragon-slaying spears, can the Molten Dragon break through the defense?

Luo Yun was very curious!
Taking a deep breath and ending today's sunshine early, Luo Yun looked around the ancient tree area above the clouds. It was time for him to move.

He is just short of that last 1 percent of natural affinity to bring about a new transformation. Having already reached the top of the super ancient dragon level, he desperately needs even more powerful strength at this moment!

The ancient tree area is very large, and the ancient tree forest is even larger. It is so large that even the current investigation team has only explored one-fifth of it. It is unknown how long it will take for the unrest in those unknown areas to return to stability if we rely solely on nature's self-regulation and hunters.

And this is the key to Luo Yun's improvement of that last 1% in a short period of time!
The fire dragons on the ancient trees have enjoyed his symbiosis, and now it is time to exert their full strength!

As Luo Yun returned to the palace, powerful and battle-hardened fire dragons and the top leaders of Chihuo Village gathered at the top of the ancient tree amidst the roars of dragons.

As Luo Yun issued the order, the ancient tree, which had been peaceful for many years, became lively again.

Groups of Yaohuo dragons, carrying Detel or ancient tree hunters, flew to various parts of the forest. All the fighting forces, including Luo Yun, were mobilized, and the entire ancient tree seemed a little depressed for a while.
