Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 567 Twenty Years, The Final Chapter!

After several days of discussion, Darren's younger generation ultimately had more supporters. In particular, after the meeting's contents were released, none of the young hunters from the Fifth Fleet backed down and stood up to support Darren.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. The mobilization of five hundred people, especially the long-distance voyage back to the Old World, requires the support of the Ancient Tree for food, clothing, and other necessities.

Thus, this story was passed down to the ancient tree.

The leader of the second wave, who had long since returned to the New World from the Icefield and begun researching the upgrade techniques for the Blazing Sun Dragon armor set, heard this news in the workshop on the Ancient Tree and sat quietly in the workshop all night.

The next day, one set of weapons and armor unique to him and the original blueprints were packed into boxes and sent to Blazing Village. Among them were even the Cat Hunter's equipment kit and subsequent upgrade ideas.

The second-term leader used these treasured blueprints to exchange for a large amount of Rathalos materials and the latest Taijing materials from Luo Yun and his wife.

That day, the furnace inside the forge roared, and the continuous clanging of metal never stopped.

With the help of several cats, the short alchemist grandmother kept improving the alchemical inscriptions according to the requirements put forward by the leader of the Second Fleet, and she didn't even have time to eat.

Inside the nest, Luo Yun listened quietly to Tonkotsu's report. He had learned most of what had happened at the Starry Sky Outpost, and the thoughts of the investigation team's higher-ups had also reached his ears.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In short, the investigation team didn't ask him for anything because of the Black Dragon, which means they didn't cause him any trouble.

The forbidden territorial battles, described as planetary-level conflicts, are not an exaggeration.

If the Crimson Dragon hadn't been trapped and died in the Valley of the Netherworld, a place whose earth vein energy had been almost completely drained, preventing it from receiving further energy replenishment, Luo Yun would have had to pay an extremely high price to defeat it in the Land of Gathering Demons.

The Black Dragon is different. It does not rely on the earth's vein energy and is the most like a creature from the outside world. Its strength is also among the top in the forbidden realm.

Luo Yun had no sufficient reason to engage in a fight with the other party, and the consciousness of nature would not allow them to fight each other either.

Moreover, this is a trial for humanity.

Humanity's current technology has reached a bottleneck, and the Black Dragon has occupied the ancient city of Xiureid for far too long. It is time to return it and allow human civilization to enter the next stage.

This is a battle that cannot be avoided!
"Hu~~"

Two streams of scorching breath escaped from Luo Yun's nostrils. After a moment of contemplation, a crimson light shone from his chest.

Soon, He spat out a pure white crystal, followed by two huge scale-like crystals.

"roar~"

"Give these to the blacksmith as a small donation from me."

The original storyline has been messed up, and the research team is no longer the super combat group in the original game that can fight three consecutive forbidden battles. They are just an 'ecological guardian' who can only give their lives when facing Fatalis, but never back down.

A true 'Monster Hunter'.

Although Luo Yun couldn't personally help them fight the Black Dragon, he could still lend a hand in that slim chance.

To gain such a forbidden friendship from Him and thus obtain a certain degree of help does not violate the rules of nature.

Time flew by, and with the arrival of the last batch of supplies, the two ships of the survey team were already ready.

When Darren received the heavy armor, almost entirely made of crystal, from the Second Fleet Commander, he felt an unprecedented surge of energy emanating from it. His gaze drifted towards the Ancient Tree, his hands gripping the edges of the armor tightly, as if he could see the azure vertical pupils of that crystal dragon.

He is watching too, isn't he?
Ruins of the ancient city of Shured.

The exaggerated flames, with their overwhelming power to incinerate everything, burned the defensive fortifications that had stood for thousands of years to ashes.

After the flames, Darren and his team of hunters, all clad in top-tier Radiant Dragon Crystal armor, burst out of their cover and launched another attack on the black dragon that had inexplicably landed.

Within the bright crystalline energy, behind Darren, who wields the Blazing Wings burning with pure white flames, appeared the phantom of a giant crystal dragon.

With an indomitable spirit, he seized the opportunity created for him by his comrades' sacrifices and desperately unleashed this final blow.

"Ahhh!"

Spring has passed and winter has come; more than half a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.

In the Land of Gathering Demons, countless Radiant Crystal Butterflies fluttered in the Valley of the Dark Realm, while hunting cats clad in Crystal Armor patrolled the valley's perimeter, weapons in hand.

Occasionally, a Radiant Fire Dragon would fly across the sky, eventually landing on the cliff edge of the valley. For the past six months, everything had been proceeding according to Luo Yun's plan.

The elderly Rathalos successfully settled in the Elder's Recess with the Rathalos couple. Thanks to the Rathalos's unreasonable group fighting style and their superior attributes compared to ordinary Rathalos, they managed to create a sizable group in the Elder's Recess.

With the Rathalos couple in charge, no Elder Dragon would be foolish enough to cause trouble.

Meanwhile, the strongest and most vigorous members of the Fire Dragon Guard, who were in their prime, led a portion of the Fire Dragons, Deterr, to settle in the Land of Gathering Demons with Luo Yun.

This will be the final resting place of Deterr, the strongest fire dragon on the Ancient Tree, and the Radiant Fire Dragon.

Overall, the ecological saturation at the Ancient Tree has been largely resolved. Apart from the occasional fight between Little Loren and a young Nergigante, everything is peaceful and calm. All creatures on the tree are fulfilling their roles, and civilization is steadily progressing.

Until today, Luo Yun, who had been holed up in the Crystal Nest as a reclusive dragon for more than half a year, received some news.

There's been news about the hunters who went to the Old World to participate in the Black Dragon hunt at the beginning of the year.

Five hundred people set out, but only a little over one hundred returned.

The loss of manpower was huge, but the result was good.

The Black Dragon, representing the end of civilization, was surprisingly defeated by a mere 500 elite members of the survey team before the main forces of the kingdom and the Hunter's Guild had even finished assembling!

Five hundred hunters accomplished a battle that would have required the combined efforts of the entire nation.

This is a victory that will go down in history!

Darren sat in the cabin, carefully wiping the broken blade that lay flat on his lap. This weapon, which was most suited to him, fought to the last moment in that brutal battle, sacrificing itself to leave an indelible scar on the head of the dark calamity dragon.

"Old buddy, just wait a little longer, I'll be able to fix you soon!"

Outside the window, the sound of the waves crashing filled the air, but Darren's heart had already drifted back to his long-lost 'hometown'.

Twenty years later
As Governor Noah listened to his assistant's report, his eyes occasionally glanced at the former Star Outpost distribution area, now the port's commercial district. His parents, whom he hadn't seen for many years, had finally completed their work on the Old Continent and chosen to settle on the New Continent to spend the rest of their lives. Judging by the timeline, they should have arrived on this ship.

On an ancient tree, the legendary hunter Darren, the recipient of the highest honor in the New World, the title 'Azure Star,' and the legendary Crystal Swordsman, is drinking with the white-bearded Grand Master, who has long since retired from the front lines, to celebrate their recent victory over the Fog-Smoke Void Dragon that wanted to come up for a vacation.

At the top of the tree, a majestic, technologically advanced, ice-blue dragon stood atop the palace roof, listening to the rising and falling roars of dragons, radiating the light and heat of its power.

The arrogance and naivety that once filled his eyes have completely faded over the past twenty years, leaving only composure and the calm that comes from restraining his strength.

A brightly colored fire dragon with crystal patterns landed beside Loren, its eyes filled with undisguised affection and possessiveness.

This male Fiery Sun Dragon, which she reserved when she was a child, is hers for life!

In the Land of Gathering Demons, at the Dawn Stronghold, Xia Guagua desperately ate one datura after another, with her rebellious son, who was now so fat he no longer resembled Xia Long, beside her.

This unfilial son shouldn't be staying in the New World; he actually came here to sponge off his parents!

Decades have passed, and why are Luo Yun's descendants becoming more and more reliable, while his rebellious son is still trying to sponge off his parents? Isn't that just too unfair?!

Meanwhile, inside the Valley of the Dark Realm.

Luo Yun lay quietly on the ground. In front of him was a very small spatial passage. An ordinary stone slab rose and fell in the passage, as if it were conveying some kind of information to Luo Yun.

Luo Yun listened quietly without giving any clear reply. He would occasionally look up through the transparent crystal dome at Aji, whose dark aura was growing stronger and stronger. The scales in his heart were slowly tipping.

The beings on the other side of the passage were not in a hurry either; for them, who possessed infinite lifespans, time was not particularly important.

Therefore, after another unsuccessful invitation, before nature could detect it, the spatial channel was closed again, awaiting the next opportunity to contact Luo Yun.

Ignoring the exaggerated ley line fluctuations below the Valley of the Dark Realm, Luo Yun got up and walked out of the Crystal Nest.

The changes in Aki are a testament to the sincerity of another world, and if Aki wants to achieve greater things, she must travel to that other world.

However, there's no rush. Both He and Aki have plenty of time to make a decision!

The sun shines brightly in the sky, and light fills the view!
