Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 561 New Nest

The heart, which is the core of the perpetual motion machine of energy, looks no different from an ordinary heart, but in reality, its defense and energy resistance far exceed those of other parts of the body.

Even though the Safi'jiiva was already dead, its heart was still trying to recover its energy, but this energy was no longer enough to replenish the life force that the Safi'jiiva had lost.

As Luo Yun swallowed, the energy circuits on the Crimson Dragon's body, resembling blood vessels, became faintly visible. Streams of light converged at the heart as the energy flowed back, where Luo Yun devoured them.

As Luo Yun's injuries were replenished by this pure energy, they healed rapidly. The energy circuits that had been hidden in his blood vessels and muscles due to the lack of his own permanent energy were like withered branches that had been dry for a long time suddenly being replenished by rain. Energy was poured into his heart and he began to regain his vitality.

That exaggerated feeling of hunger gradually subsided as he continued to devour the food.

Finally, after the heartbeat of the Crimson Dragon became extremely weak and most of its energy circuits died, Luo Yun finally felt full.

He loosened his teeth that were clenched around his heart, glanced sideways at the shrunken, lifeless body of the Crimson Dragon, and sat down on the ground, his hind legs curled up in a somewhat conflicted manner.

Unlike other organisms in the food chain, when a forbidden creature dies, only the life energy that has been converted within its body dissipates quickly. However, the solidified energy that constitutes the perpetual motion machine of energy does not dissipate easily. Even if it falls into the earth's veins, it will take many years to digest it.

After all, the solidified life force contained within it has already surpassed the limits that any living thing in this world can reach.

Putting everything else aside, just consider this heart that Luo Yun has absorbed most of, yet it still beats weakly. If some civilization possessed advanced biotechnology and could create a body capable of housing this heart, it might very well create a taboo.

Regardless of whether this forbidden power is at the bottom among forbidden powers, its minimum level is still the forbidden level.

What Luo Yun was struggling with at this moment was how to deal with the remaining permanent energy inside the Crimson Dragon's heart.

He was already 'full', and all existing energy circuits were fully saturated. Unless He could open up a new energy circuit from the heart to other areas of the body in a short period of time, continuing to absorb would only satisfy His own devouring desires and would have little effect on His strength.

But He couldn't bear to give it away to the earth's veins.

He finally rose from an employee to a partner, and now he is fully entitled to enjoy this 'profit' all to himself.

However, the energy surging from the earth's veins during the battle did indeed provide Him with significant assistance, particularly in matters of human relationships.
Luo Yun scratched the slightly itchy spot on his head with his wing claws, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the completely transformed Valley of the Netherworld. The blooming Crystal Flowers and Crystal Pillars everywhere had turned the Valley of the Netherworld into the Valley of Crystals.

To be honest, although it wasn't intentional, the valley, which had been drastically changed because of their great battle, now actually looks quite to Luo Yun's liking.

"and many more!"

Luo Yun got up, flapped his wings lightly, and flew into the air, taking in the entire valley. An idea came to mind.

The Valley of the Dark Realm had already been drained dry by the Crimson Dragon, leaving only a few ley lines struggling to survive. From an ecological perspective, it was already a dead land abandoned by the world. If left unattended, it would only perish at some point due to the movement of tectonic plates.

Luo Yun came to the Demon Gathering Land precisely to find a new place to settle and await transformation, didn't he?
Now that the transformation is complete, instead of finding a new place to drive out other creatures and rebuild its own ecosystem, it's better to simply occupy this secluded valley, saving itself the trouble of driving out other creatures. As for the missing ley line energy, not to mention that Luo Yun's Taijing energy doesn't particularly rely on ley line energy, isn't the corpse of this Crimson Dragon and its still-beating heart the best energy source?

Without hesitation, Luo Yun swiftly descended. With a thought, the Taijing Crystal slowly enveloped the remains of the Dark Crimson Dragon, completely sealing it into a crystal fossil. Accompanied by a slight tremor, it slowly sank into the ground.

Upon reaching the boundary between the remaining ley lines and the crystalline realm, countless crystalline tentacles emerged, enveloping the specimen crystal like a spider web, forming a unique energy cocoon.

At the heart of the Crimson Dragon, numerous crystal spikes pressed against its surface. The energy restored by each heartbeat was immediately extracted and transmitted to various parts of the crystal domain. While maintaining the domain, there was still excess energy that could dissipate into the valley for Luo Yun's daily needs.

Having accomplished the feat of restoring the Crimson Dragon to its original form, Luo Yun strolled around the valley with satisfaction, looking for anything that needed repair or alteration, and began to gradually build his new lair.

The hunters, who had rushed over, landed on a horizontally growing crystal pillar and stared blankly at the completely changed terrain below.

How did such a large valley become like this after a battle?
When Luo Yun was seen leisurely strolling through the valley, as if inspecting his territory, there was absolutely no trace of battle on him.

But they arrived immediately after that sudden movement, and the battle is over just like that? Where is the Safi'jiiva's corpse? Could that monster have escaped in another direction?

Among the crowd, the chieftain carefully observed Luo Yun's current state. After the sense of crisis in his heart disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, swung the rope in his hand, and swung quickly towards Luo Yun before the hunters could stop him.

Now, no movement within the Valley of the Darkness can escape Luo Yun's perception. He noticed the Survey Team hunters the moment they arrived, but he was currently exhausted after the excitement of battle and didn't really want to pay them any attention.

But when it saw the old guy descending in front of it like a hero, the dragon began to have a headache.

"Hey, old friend."

"Roar!!"

Before the Grand Master could finish speaking, a furious dragon roar echoed from the sky.

A huge shadow covered them.

The commander's eyes widened, and he quickly lunged to the side to dodge.

The rapidly descending shadow struck Luo Yun violently, sending him flying dozens of meters away amidst a screeching sound of scales rubbing against the crystal.

Its gaping maw opened and bit down mercilessly on Luo Yun's neck. Its powerful hind legs stepped on Luo Yun's wings, forcefully pushing him back down.
