Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 524 The Dragon and Man Cooperate Again
When Luo Yun saw the smiling Grand Master in the palace, the dragon's face instantly fell.

What?
What are they trying to do?!

The recent aid supplies have significantly reduced the treatment of the Radiant Dragons, and the cats have also suffered. Even his priestess, representing the ancient dragonkin, subtly complained to him.

What are you doing here now?
Every time Luo Yun saw the leader's expression, he knew that the guy definitely wanted something from him, but it wasn't anything serious.

If he didn't agree, given how well Luo Yun knew his decades-old friend, he would definitely go to his good-for-nothing son and, after some persuasion, get the job done!
This tactic left Luo Yun speechless and helpless. After all, the Grand Commander's methods of deception were not clever; he was simply using Luo Yun to provoke Xiao Luo Lun. Unfortunately, this rebellious son was always successful in provoking such tactics.

All I can say is that young Loren is indeed highly intelligent, but he lacks a bit of wildness. He actually pursues feelings of kinship and approval from elders, and his way of thinking is more humanistic. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Upon hearing the Grand Master's request to borrow a dragon, the dragons living on the lower levels were instructed to team up with the hunters and head to the location marked by the scholars to conduct a related investigation.

Luo Yun sensed that something was wrong.

When the Grand Master took out the simplified map of the new continent created by the scholars, and looked at the clearly marked patterns of the leyline nodes, Luo Yun knew what they were up to.

It must be said that these scholars are truly skilled. Without the information support of the ancient dragon people, nor the powerful ability of the ancient dragons to perceive the earth vein energy, they have been able to deduce the location of the nodes of the earth vein corridor and even draw the main spiral diagram of the earth vein corridor based solely on their research on the earth vein corridor and the conditions of various regions.

It seems that finding the end of the New World's ley line corridor is only a matter of time.

After listening to the Grand Commander's explanation, Luo Yun realized that the guy still had some conscience.

All marked and explored areas, especially those potentially involving Elder Dragons, are to be investigated by the hunter alone. As for unexplored areas that are merely speculations, although the Rathalos and the hunter go together, if they detect even the slightest trace of an Elder Dragon and cannot safely evacuate, the Rathalos can simply abandon the hunter and leave on its own.

It can be said that most of the risks are borne by the hunters, and participation in the dragon's fight is entirely voluntary.

The price the investigation team paid was that the hunter partnered with the Rathalos would be responsible for all the necessary medicines and even the Rathalos food for the next six months.

Overall, income will definitely exceed expenditure, a condition that would probably tempt even some struggling Rathalos.

The dragons' hunting grounds have now expanded to the area where the ancient dragon people once lived, but ordinary prey is a minor matter; dragon food is a major issue.

Many of the special ingredients have extremely low yields, even when grown on ancient trees, due to their extremely high environmental requirements. They can only be obtained in sufficient quantities by hunting cats or by submitting relevant quests to the Hunter's Guild. For the dragons who are used to the trade system, this is quite an expense.

Even if it's only for half a year, it's enough for the fire dragons to take some risks for this mission.

Luo Yun had no reason to disagree.

After obtaining Luo Yun's consent, the Grand Master happily left to negotiate with Blazing Fire Village. Watching the Grand Master's departing figure, Luo Yun instructed the guard, Tonkotsu, to have the Ancient Dragonkin Prophet share information about the Ley Line Corridor and the Earth Crying Dragon with the investigation team.

He can get a good night's sleep sooner if he can resolve his younger brother Long's matter quickly.

The Earth Cryosaurus has truly gone mad. If it weren't for the countless years that the Kulve Taroth and the Serpent King Dragon have dug countless ley lines underground in the New World to stabilize the ley lines and support the development of the New World...

Given the Earth Dragon's unbridled actions in stirring up plate tectonics these days, the ecology of the New World has probably already begun to fall into chaos.

The eruption of extinct volcanoes, frequent earthquakes, and even drastic changes in terrain and landforms are enough to wipe out many ordinary monster groups.

Let alone those flying monsters, even in the previous life, with so much technology, we were still powerless against large-scale natural disasters. Ancient dragons of the Earth-Crying Dragon level, once they cause harm, will be a disaster on the scale of the entire continent!
With Luo Yun's permission, the relevant orders were quickly issued to the cats of each fire dragon family, and then relayed to the fire dragons by the cats.

Soon, one fire dragon after another soared into the sky, carrying the cat along, and headed towards the Starry Sky Stronghold.

There were only a little over 600 hunters carrying out these investigation missions this time. Even including those in teams, the actual number of missions was only a little over 200. The number of missions that could be involved with Rathalos would have to be reduced again.

Normally, those ordinary Rathalos at the bottom level need a sufficient amount of new Rathalos food to help them keep up with their growth rate and accelerate their transformation into Rathalos. Therefore, given such favorable conditions, especially with the leader's consent, who could possibly miss out?

Even some Rathalos are tempted by it, let alone these ordinary Rathalos.

The Grand Commander, hanging beneath the pterosaur, flew back to the Star Base with the main force of fire dragons, a smile he couldn't hide on his lips.

One point of disagreement between the Grand Commander and the Commander-in-Chief was that he always felt the Commander-in-Chief sometimes had to be very clear about his relationship with the Ancient Tree.

In his view, since he had already made up his mind to spend his whole life in the New World, and this place was already home, why not integrate more into the civilization here?
Perhaps it was because he had been a high-ranking member of the survey team for many years. The commander-in-chief not only had to manage the entire survey team, but also had to communicate with the guilds and kingdoms of the Old World. This communication was like a constant reminder that he only regarded the New World as his second home. Therefore, he always had a sense of alienation in his subconscious that he could not fully integrate into the New World.

This feeling manifests itself in certain situations where, even though he could have accomplished something more easily by cooperating with the Ancient Tree, he would prioritize those matters and let the investigation team solve them independently.

It's not that this is bad, but in the eyes of the guild leader, doing it this way is just too inefficient.

As one fire dragon after another arrived at Starry Sky Outpost, the hunters and scholars who already knew about the Grand Master's plan became excited.

Having lived this long, the Fifth Fleet had only ever heard of cooperating with top-tier monsters like Rathalos from the old hunters who remained in the Survey Corps. They never expected it would happen to them now!

This amazing experience is so exciting to think about!
