Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 525 Commander Yuechen, the last meal for the sheep?

While the New World was in full swing, progress was equally rapid on the Ice Plains.

However, the depths of the ice field are simply too cold to be a place where humans can live and move around for a long time. Therefore, the Seliana base's investigation of the ice field stopped at the outer perimeter and some areas with natural volcanic hot springs.

After receiving news of the Velkhana brought back by Darren, the Commander-in-Chief deliberated carefully and decided to send a small team to investigate along the direction the Velkhana had left. He was determined to ensure that the investigation team's route would not overlap with the Velkhana's lair, in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Looking at the Moonlit Camp, which has been initially built outside the tent, there are boilers to keep the buildings in the stronghold warm, and the meeting place is also built next to several natural hot springs, which can provide hunters with a good resting space.

With the foundation laid, the next step is for the Commander-in-Chief to return to the stars, where the real work begins.

After careful consideration, I realized that although the leaders of the second, fourth, and fifth teams were all here, there wasn't a single person who could coordinate everything.

Currently, the entire investigation team, including the commander-in-chief himself, consists of only four people capable of coordinating a single base.

Given that the head of the research team and the Grand Master are stationed at the Starry Sky Stronghold, especially considering the Grand Master's relationship with the Blazing Sun Dragon, it's impossible for him to come here.

The research team leader is responsible for leading the research on Elder Dragons and various monster subspecies; any extra energy can only be used as an assistant to help with decision-making.

The head of the third research team spends most of his time at the mobile research base, leading the scholars of the entire team in various endeavors, keeping him extremely busy.

Thinking about it this way, Yuechen really can't find a suitable person.

Sitting in his chair, the Commander-in-Chief rubbed his chin as he looked at the simple map of the ice field in front of him. Finally, he turned his gaze to Noah, the grandson of the survey team leader who was helping him with some routine tasks.

Although his muscles were very noticeable, and he was a disciple of a sword master.

But undeniably, Noah's hunter talent has reached its limit.

Therefore, after the Fifth Fleet arrived and took over the investigation mission, his position as the head of the investigation team became somewhat dispensable. He spent most of his time at the base acting as the commander-in-chief's assistant, rarely leading teams out on missions.

Maybe we can give it a try!

Their generation is getting old.

The Fifth Fleet's recommended group, especially Darren's combat prowess, gave the Commander-in-Chief great confidence.

There's a lot of room for trial and error, and he has an excellent relationship with Noah. The way the two young people get along is just like how the Grand Master and he were back then. Maybe it's worth a try.

The position of Commander-in-Chief is not the highest position. The highest leader of the investigation team has always been the Chief of the Investigation Team. In terms of authority, the Chief of the Investigation Team is actually similar to the Chief of the Investigation Team, just at a higher level.

The current investigation mission in the Icefield can be left to the younger generation to do as they please, since the older folks can still cover for them.

Having made up his mind, the commander-in-chief stepped out of the tent and headed towards the assembly hall.

They found Darren and Mia there, and after a long private discussion, Darren supported the decision.

Darren was very clear about his personality and way of doing things. Although he was responsible and hardworking, always taking the lead in the most difficult tasks, and also had the factor of strength, he successfully impressed the other members of the Fifth Fleet and became the leader of the Fifth Fleet.

But that's the best he can do. Asking him to deal with all those trivial matters and make decisions amidst various dilemmas and balances would be like taking his life. It would be more practical for him to pick up a knife and slay an ancient dragon.

He had also observed Noah's performance; the man appeared rugged but was actually meticulous and patient in handling documents.

When the Luna base was first established, he was the one who coordinated everything, and Darren acknowledged this ability.

After several discussions, the Commander-in-Chief soon summoned the leaders of the Yuechen regiments and announced the decision publicly.

Noah looked at the Commander-in-Chief with a bewildered expression, then at the others who had expressed their support. He felt no joy, only a heavy burden pressing down on him.

After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties. Darren was older than him among those present, not to mention Master Haruno, a veteran of the first generation. But as soon as he opened his mouth to refuse, he was stopped by the others.

Who here doesn't have a lot of problems?
Even those with less to do were busy with matters concerning the adventure ship, and the second-generation leader's already bald head had become even smoother due to his research into creating corresponding equipment for the Icefield.

There's no need to talk about the others.

The meeting, which lasted only half an hour, was quickly concluded. The commander-in-chief pushed aside his own affairs and did not leave any guidelines for what to do next.

They simply packed up and, together with the Third Fleet Commander, boarded the mobile research base and returned to the New World.

Noah stood where the commander-in-chief had originally stood, looking at the encouraging eyes of the others in the tent. After taking a deep breath and thinking carefully for a while, he began to assign tasks to the various fleets based on the current situation.

"I'm counting on you all for now!"

After finishing up, watching the others hurriedly leave, Noah slumped into a chair, breathing heavily.

"Well done, kid. Keep it up. The future belongs to you young people."

In the corner, the sword master's deep voice came from under his hooded helmet. The director of the ecological research institute, who was flipping through a thick book and comparing the information with the monster information collected on the ice plains, nodded in approval.

That's right, even though the Commander-in-Chief is gone.

However, they kept the sword master and the director of the research institute, as a backup plan for Noah.

Upon hearing this, Noah shook his head with a wry smile. Although he was somewhat unwilling to see his hunter career end so abruptly today, he had no choice but to do his best.

Taking a deep breath and focusing his mind, Noah began to carefully peruse the pile of documents on the conference table.

Deep in the icy plains, a sheep, nearly frozen into a hedgehog, shakily flew to the summit of a snow-capped mountain, its teeth chattering. Enduring the freezing cold on its feet, it slowly entered a hidden cave.

As He went deeper, gradually, the heat from the earth's veins began to appear, relieving the chill on His body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, we emerged from the cave to find ourselves in a canyon filled with flowing lava.

The canyon is covered with ice and snow above, but below it flows a river of red lava that smells of sulfur.

In the middle of the polarized canyon, there is a dragon egg that emits a faint blue halo and looks somewhat malnourished and listless.

Strands of life energy flowed from the silk mesh surrounding the dragon egg into the egg itself.

However, due to the change in the ley lines, and the fact that this place is located at the end of the ley line corridor, the energy is simply insufficient to support the growth of the dragon eggs.

At this moment, this super-miniature version of the Netherworld dragon egg is the most sumptuous lunch in Meimeizi's eyes!

Although He knew the responsibilities and risks He would have to bear after eating the dragon egg.

He knew this would most likely be His last meal.

Wasn't the Extinction Dragon Clan born for this very purpose?

The new continent needs balance and stability.

Too many and overactive Elder Dragons, as well as those Elder Dragons from the other side of the world attracted by the immense life energy, would be destabilizing factors that disrupt the existing ecology of the New World.

A mere handful of World Destroyer Dragons is simply not enough!
