Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 554 Awakening, A Grand Gift

As the Fatalis absorbed the earth's energy, its aura visibly recovered rapidly, and even the wounds on its body, inflicted by many hunters who had fought to the death, were healing at an astonishing pace.

Without a second thought, the hunters charged forward with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could grow two more legs so they could instantly reach their opponent and interrupt their actions.

But it was still too late.

This area, where the Fatalis often resides, already had very little ley line energy left. Just before the hunter rushed in front of it, the ley line energy of this land was completely drained. The already barren land instantly lost its last bit of luster and turned gray and dim.

This land is completely dead. It only takes a strong wind, an earthquake, or a small explosion to turn it into sand and gravel that will collapse and fall.

Having accomplished all this, the Crimson Dragon, still unsatisfied, stood up, glanced coldly at the charging 'insects,' and without hesitation abandoned this useless land, jumping directly off the edge of the area.

"Chase!"

The tragic scene of the earth's death unfolded before their eyes, and the hunters' anger reached its peak.

Therefore, even before Darren spoke up, hunters had already begun calling for pterosaurs and leading them in the pursuit.

The commander-in-chief looked at the completely dead earth, his body trembling slightly.

If he hadn't neglected his training and his leg hadn't been unable to support him in combat, he would have already picked up his one-handed sword and charged alongside these young men.

"Hu~~"

With a long sigh, the commander-in-chief, without turning his head, issued the order: "The equipment team can enter now, even if it's just ballistae, set them up as quickly as possible!"

As the Commander-in-Chief issued one order after another, the cats began to assist the Fourth Fleet's logistics and equipment team in moving the makeshift ballistae into the Valley of the Dark. At the same time, the first batch of wounded soldiers who had been treated by Xia Guagua had also regained their mobility.

With all equipment and supplies in hand, they headed back to the battlefield.

The battle between the hunters and Safi'jiiva reached a fever pitch, turning the entire battlefield into a meat grinder, with hunters constantly leaving and joining, and young lives coming to an end here.

Even so, no one chose to back down. This was destined to be a war in which only one side could survive!

And in the hidden ley line corridor at the bottom of the Valley of the Darkness.

After such a long period of transformation, this first formal exchange between the two worlds has come to an end.

The enormous crimson crystal statue began to 'melt,' and the crimson dragon with its eyes closed lay quietly in the flowing lava, rising and falling with the lava's movement.

Inside the pitch-black passageway, the figure who had been doing everything in its power to maintain the passageway began to slowly retreat, and the light from the white stone slabs that served as the source of light gradually dimmed.

At this moment, the stone slab fragments are no longer needed as world coordinates. As the carrier of the power of the two worlds, Luo Yun is now the best spatial anchor point simply by existing.

As the spatial passage closed, the gazes that had been fixed on Luo Yun finally dispersed, and the magma, which had been subtly on guard, gradually subsided.

Boom~boom!
Boom~boom!
A rhythmic heartbeat echoed throughout the space, and powerful energy fluctuations, accompanied by the rapidly recovering heartbeats, spread outwards in concentric circles. Wherever it passed, crimson crystal flowers sprouted from the ground and rock walls.

At this moment, the slumbering dragon finally awoke once more. Within its azure pupils, crimson-gold vertical pupils flashed with wisps of energy. Within its body, boundless life energy flowed continuously throughout, ultimately forming a perfect internal cycle with its heart.

From this moment on, He no longer has the concept of lifespan, time will no longer be His enemy, and no matter how the world changes, He will be eternal!
With a gentle push from its crimson crystal claws, a massive crystal platform appeared. Luo Yun climbed out of the lava, letting the scalding lava slide down his perfectly muscular physique.

In terms of physique, Luo Yun did not change much after completing the final step of transformation. He only had more thorns on his body, and his forelimbs, which were originally just wings, now had a pair of transparent crimson wing claws growing from the joints of the third sacrum.

The body shape of the flying dragons, originally designed to be more suitable for flight, has also undergone subtle changes.

The stronger muscles in His legs and chest made Him more suited to His current physical form.

The internal circulation of energy made Luo Yun's time permanent, and the leap in ecological niche also enabled Him to successfully transform from a 'laborer' into a partner.

At this moment, He is entitled to have an ecological environment that belongs exclusively to Him!
Of course, most importantly, His original 'sunlight' belonging to the ecological side is gone forever, replaced by the 'land of the end' symbolizing destruction and judgment!
With Luo Yun's breathing and the flow of energy, in just three minutes, his body, weakened by dozens of days of slumber, was recovering to its peak condition at an incredible speed.

At this moment, besides feeling relaxed after transcending his ecological niche, the only other feeling Luo Yun had was hunger!
It's not the kind of hunger that comes with biological processes, but rather a thirst for energy.

The construction of the perpetual motion machine itself requires a massive amount of energy, not to mention that in order to make the characteristics of the Land of the End more suitable, Luo Yun's body instinctively participated in the modification of the characteristics while he was asleep.

In the process, He consumed more than half of His body's energy reserves.

The earth's ley line energy had already been largely absorbed by the Crimson Dragon, and the energy extracted from the earth's core during the previous exchange had already returned to the earth's core.

Therefore, this tributary of the earth vein, which resembled a dead fish, was completely unable to meet Luo Yun's needs at this moment.

Sniff!

Luo Yun's nose twitched slightly as he sensed the presence of a certain creature.

He also easily detected the movements on the ground.

No wonder the world consciousness chose this place as the place for communication. Perhaps it had already calculated everything. The Fatalis that is currently fighting fiercely with the investigation team above is a gift that it prepared for Luo Yun's breakthrough!
To ensure the success rate of Luo Yun's hunt, He even brought in the investigation team.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Yun spread his wings, creating waves of heat, and flew out of the cave.

The third level of the Valley of the Dark Realm.

After a long and fierce battle, Safi'jiiva even drained the energy from the second layer of the ley lines, but still failed to defeat the hunters.

He was not a taboo like the Black Dragon, which specifically targeted human civilization, and was still somewhat restrained when dealing with hunters.

Even so, the investigation team still suffered heavy losses, with Darren having to rejoin the battle twice, not to mention the others.

Since the start of the fighting, the investigation team has lost more personnel than in the past few decades combined, and this number continues to rise as the fighting continues.

Looking at the Crimson Dragon, which had once again entered a critical state after absorbing the earth's energy, even Darren felt a little shaken.

Is such an entity truly something they can defeat?
