Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 541 The Ancient Tree's Disturbance
Luo Yun was very troubled upon returning to his lair. After all, he had personally supported the establishment of the Ancient Tree, although creating this civilization was not his original intention, but rather a product of development and adaptation to the ecosystem.

But once it truly took shape, a sense of responsibility from the human soul made him begin to take this place seriously and gradually develop a sense of belonging.

This kind of emotion and lifestyle made him a unique ancient dragon, but it also prevented him from abandoning his homeland and leaving decisively, just like the former Black Flame King, who could treat his fire dragons as tools for his own selfish desires.

In Luo Yun's view, the ancient tree civilization is still too immature. Neither Little Loren nor the other fire dragons have grown to the point where they can support such a civilization after he leaves.

But time waits for no one, and he had to make a decision in advance.

Amidst this conflicted emotion, Aki returned.

Having lived together for many years, Ya Ji, whose gaze had never strayed from Luo Yun's, could tell Luo Yun's current mood simply from the state of his muscles, the faint glow of energy flowing through his scales, and his eyes.

With a low growl, he came to Luo Yun's side and quietly lay down next to him.

Luo Yun snorted irritably and explained to Ya Ji about Xia Guagua's arrival and his own thoughts.

Luo Yun, who was prepared to receive comforting words from Ya Ji, found that Ya Ji did not comfort him gently as she usually did, and turned to look at her with some confusion.

He met Aki's vertical pupils, which were a deep blue with a hint of crimson.

At this moment, those jewel-like eyes that Luo Yun never tired of looking at revealed three parts doubt, three parts barely suppressed laughter, three parts speechlessness, and one part doting affection.

Although it wasn't a pie chart, Luo Yun accurately perceived all the elements in that gaze.

Just as Luo Yun let out a puzzled growl, Ya Ji's explanation followed.

"The Elder's Recess, and that other place you mentioned, are they far away?"

It was a very simple question, and Luo Yun answered almost instinctively, "Far!"

But when he met Aki's gaze, he suddenly realized something.

That's right, whether it's the Elder's Recess or the Guiding Lands, they are indeed far from the Ancient Tree, but that's from the perspective of ordinary creatures.

For Luo Yun, who possesses supersonic flight capabilities, is this distance really that far?

At this moment, Luo Yun's mind cleared up!
Since this distance isn't far for him, the act of leaving the Ancient Tree is nothing more than a nouveau riche who has worked hard in the city for many years getting tired, or for other reasons, deciding to return to the countryside to build a villa according to his own wishes.

However, this does not mean that the wealthy can completely abandon their companies.

Find a suitable 'successor' to oversee things, and then return to the company from time to time to check on the situation and issue important instructions.

The original timely regulation and hands-on approach has been replaced by remote control.

His biggest worry was actually just overthinking things.

Seeing that Luo Yun's complexion had obviously improved, Aki's eyes were full of this shiny creature. She slightly raised her head and bit down on its neck, her sharp teeth rubbing against the crystal scales, just like when Luo Yun was young and secretly went to provoke Anjanath on his own, only to be found out by Aki.

Faced with this favored 'punishment', Luo Yun gladly accepted it.

The dragon lay contentedly in its nest, falling into a deep sleep under Aki's 'gentle' care.

After resolving his biggest worry, Luo Yun slept very soundly.

But in Blazing Fire Village, chaos erupted! The former leader of the Fire Dragon, Dettel, whose fur had turned gray and whose gait was shaky, widened his aged eyes upon hearing the news brought by Tonkotsu.

The leaders of Blazing Fire Village and the administrators of the Hunter's Guild were filled with disbelief.

The Blazing Sun Dragon actually left the Ancient Tree!
And this isn't just a temporary departure like in the past; it's a genuine intention to leave and live somewhere else!

If this news had come from any other creature, it would probably have been added to the kill list by everyone present by now.

This is like a king suddenly saying he wants to abandon the country he built and go into seclusion in a place no one knows.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to a nascent civilization.

However, the one who brought this news was Tonkotsu, the captain of the Fire Dragon Guard, the current leader of Fire Dragon Dettel, and Dettel who is most loyal to the Blazing Sun Dragon!
The accuracy of this news is off the charts!
Just as everyone was wondering if they had done something wrong, or if the King was dissatisfied with the development of the Ancient Trees and therefore abandoned them, Tonkotsu's explanation silenced everyone again.

They desperately hoped that they had done something wrong, or that Luo Yun was dissatisfied with them in some way, which was why Luo Yun made this decision.

In this situation, they can all change, and they all have a chance to make amends.

But the truth is, their king still loves this civilization, and it is precisely this love and this sense of responsibility that led him to make this decision!
Such a reason truly drove everyone to despair.

"There will be a way. Everyone in the research institute will stop all their current tasks and focus all their efforts on studying the Ancient Tree. We will find a solution before the King leaves!" The ancient dragon-man prophet spoke first.

"Blazing Fire Village and the shrine will also fully cooperate."

"We will also issue relevant research tasks and connect with the investigation team to conduct related research together."

After each person hurriedly made their statement, they didn't say much more and quickly left.

They had to race against time and couldn't afford to waste a single moment.

Luo Yun had no intention of hiding this matter, so after Tonkotsu brought the news out, it quickly spread throughout the entire Ancient Tree.

At first, when the Rathalos heard their cat say that the leader was leaving, they were not too bothered. After all, over the years, the leader would leave alone for a few days, and sometimes he would leave with the queen.

Even when they heard that they would be settling elsewhere, the Rathalos felt only a moment of reluctance. After all, they were so used to living near the Ancient Tree that it was hard to accept the sudden relocation.

But since it's the leader's decision, we can only follow it.

But when the cat said it would save the leader and his wife and leave, the Rathalos instantly exploded its scales.

This is the only thing that won't do!

The leader is gone, who will be the new leader? Who will lead the entire Radiant Dragon Clan?
Suddenly, various dragon roars came from all over the ancient tree.

Only a handful of Yaohuo Dragons were qualified to meet Luo Yun. Although they were angry and confused, under the strict hierarchy, this was the only way they could express their wishes.

Ultimately, it was young Loren, as the 'prince' of the Ancient Tree and the strongest contender for the next leader, who voluntarily left the nest and went to the upper palace.

He also wanted to find out what his father was really thinking.
