Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 520 The Sudden Drop in Temperature

Luo Yun was unaware that the Commander-in-Chief had set his sights on Deter in Blazing Fire Village, and of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared much.

Nowadays, the Ancient Tree is not only saturated with Rathalos, but even the cats are saturated.

Expanding outwards and becoming a hunting cat is the right way forward.

During this period, the expansion of the Rathalos has begun to show results. Some older Rathalos whose combat power has declined have become the first batch of dragons to migrate out of the Ancient Tree. In addition to the small groups that stick together, there are also some Dettel families who have also reached the end of their potential and have served the Rathalos family for their entire lives.

After they migrate, they will reproduce in their new habitats, just like the ordinary fire dragons of the past. Once their offspring have enough strength, they will go to the Ancient Tree to participate in the 'test' to gain the qualification to settle there.

The same applies to cats that are moved out!

The second batch to be relocated consisted of those Radiant Rathalos that had passed their youth. However, unlike the older Radiant Rathalos, they did not have a cat to accompany them and had to rely on themselves for everything. Whether they could survive in the outside world or even return to the Ancient Tree depended entirely on their own efforts.

On the third day after returning to the Ancient Tree, Aki led the expeditionary force back to the Ancient Tree.

Fortunately, even the Fire Dragon Guard did not suffer any losses; most of them were just exhausted and weak due to the miasma.

Aside from being slightly tired, Aki and the others were fine. In particular, one of the Rathalos returned like a victorious rooster, hopping around with its head held high for several days in a row.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that it was the main attacker in this battle against the Vaal Hazak in the Fog Shroud.

Just as Luo Yun thought, the current threat posed by Aki and the others to the Fog-Smoke Vaal Hazak is no less than that of the Teostra, not to mention that they are fighting as a group!

Having never seen the Vaal Hazak with its miasma spreading, and lacking sufficient miasma replenishment and a powerful move capable of decisively defeating its opponent, it could only leave the Ancient Forest and flee back to the Rotten Vale after paying a certain price, facing Ajax and Rathalos, which were its counters.

It fully embodies the saying "a wise man submits to circumstances."

With Luo Yun in charge, and after Aki and the others' massive battle against the Fog-Blocked Vaal Hazak, the Ancient Tree finally found complete peace on the Ancient Dragon level.

Even the ancient dragons that settled here quietly reduced their impact on nature, settling down after occupying a territory, forming a stark contrast with other areas of the New World.

Time flies by so quickly.

Large quantities of supplies were transferred from the Ancient Tree to the Starry Sky Outpost, and then transported to the Luna Outpost in the Ice Plains.

In just one month, a small outpost standing in the snowy region, capable of accommodating hundreds of people, was successfully established. It is said that the dragon scholar who had once been in charge of logistics and construction for a period of time in the early days of the survey team once again exerted his efforts and, despite the scarcity of resources, managed to handcraft a large boiler capable of heating the entire Moonfall base using the most primitive manufacturing methods.

It must be said that although the logistics personnel of the first fleet faded into obscurity after the arrival of the second and fourth fleets, each of them had some skills and deserved to be the elite who were the original pioneers!

Inside the ancient tree, Luo Yun, who was immersed in the pleasure of the energy gathering within his body, trembled slightly.

Slowly opening his pupils, which were a deep crimson color, the energy that had been gathering around him began to subside rapidly.

He looked out of the nest with some displeasure. Beside him, Aki was sleeping soundly, unconsciously snuggling closer to his body in her sleep, seeking warmth.

The air temperature is dropping at an abnormally rapid rate! Keep in mind, it's only early autumn, and the temperature shouldn't be dropping this low at all.

Moreover, Luo Yun also sensed the aura of a new ancient dragon!

The other party is passing through the Ancient Forest, flying rapidly towards the Elder's Recess.

At Star Base, the Commander-in-Chief had originally set up a simple tent at the conference table, partly to process documents late at night, and partly to cool off by the sea in this hot weather—killing two birds with one stone!
As a result, I was woken up by the cold.

Peeking out of the tent, he saw snowflakes falling and covering the conference table, leaving the commander-in-chief stunned!

Without even needing to think much, the first thought in my mind is, "Gu Long is up to his old tricks again!"

"These are turbulent times," he said, then retreated back into the tent, quietly draped a robe over himself, and fell into a deep sleep once more.

In the past, faced with such unusual weather, the Commander-in-Chief would probably have been worried and unable to sleep all night.

After all, this is extremely cold weather!

This is enough to affect the cultivation and acquisition of resources, and the impact is enormous. If this continues for a long time and the culprit is not found, it could even be so serious that the entire investigation team has to withdraw and retreat back to the Old World.

But now that the Fiery Dragon is there to protect him, he doesn't need to worry about such important matters.

The Commander-in-Chief's idea is correct.

The next morning, after Luo Yun went out, he found that the cats had all changed into their winter furry clothes. The Fire Dragons, which were usually active early in the morning, were all quiet and huddled together in their nests, keeping warm with the food they had stockpiled.

Compared to other monsters, the fire dragons, which have only scales and no fur and are not resistant to cold, hate this kind of weather even more.

The entire forest seemed to fall into a state of silence due to the sudden drop in temperature. If it weren't for the fact that the life energy was still abundant and the plants had absorbed enough nutrients and had plenty of vitality, the forest would have been completely silent.

Otherwise, with such an exaggerated temperature difference, a large number of somewhat 'delicate' plants would probably die.

Aside from grumbling a few times, Luo Yun seemed powerless to do anything about it.

After all, as a dragon who knew the reason, he was well aware that the Ice Curse Dragon that came from afar did not do it on purpose.

Because of the changes in the ley lines of the ice field, some of the volcanoes on the ice field dried up, including the lair of the Iceborne Dragon.

Unable to obtain enough 'outer shell' from the magma, the Ice Dragon, which relies on ultra-low temperatures to solidify the magma into 'volcanic glass' as its clothing and control its abilities, had no choice but to brave the out-of-control energy and travel to the New World to create new clothing in the Elder's Recess.

It's even highly likely that this was in preparation for a future battle against the Earth Dragon!
Although there is a significant difference in their ecological niches, it is also true that the Earthshaker has low resistance to ice-type energy.

If a few more Elder Dragons of comparable quality were to gang up on the Earthshaker, even if they couldn't defeat it, they could still force it back into slumber by paying some price.
