Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 70: Fire Dragon Deter's Ambition, Golden Lion's Coming-of-Age Battle
After the battle-hardened fire dragon couple stood up for Detel, the relationship between the fire dragons and Detel seemed to have made new progress, and the symbiotic bond between the two species was further enhanced.

The Detels served even harder, and the fire dragons seemed to trust the Detels more.

The relationship between the two gradually shifted from a purely trading relationship to a sheltering relationship. When the ancient fire dragons living in the trees went out hunting and encountered the Detels with scales stained with the scent of fire dragons hanging around their necks, they would occasionally help them drive away the pterosaurs in the sky that were hostile to the Detels.

However, this relationship has only just begun to take shape. Although there have been some changes, it will take time to deepen little by little.

"Meow~meow!"

Leader of the Fire Dragon Detel was reporting to Luo Yun, but the news surprised Luo Yun a little.

The Detel tribe on the ancient tree wants to become a vassal tribe of the fire dragon Detel.

That’s fine. It’s extremely normal for them to live on the same ancient tree, merge with each other, and become vassals of each other.

However, after friendly discussions between the two sides, they actually felt that the number of Detel in the two tribes was too small, and wanted to go out and recruit some Detel tribes that were not doing well but had good relations with them to settle in the ancient tree.

Afterwards, with the Fire Dragon Detel as the center, a new Detel tribe was formed in the upper layer of the ancient tree. Different from the other Detel in the ancient tree forest, they abandoned the original name of the Forest Insect Cage Tribe and changed their name to the 'Ancient Tree Fire Dragon Tribe'.

Good guy, Luo Yun exclaimed good guy.

The fire dragon Detels serve Luo Yun and Yaji exclusively, while other Detels who have become vassals serve other fire dragons on the ancient trees. With the increasingly close relationship with the fire dragons, these Detels will embark on a life path that is completely different from that of the forest insect cage tribe.

The leader of the Fire Dragon Detel and the wise men of the Detel tribe want to grow bigger and stronger and establish a new population in the ecosystem.

What great courage and ambition.

But Luo Yun had no intention of stopping it. On the contrary, he also wanted to see whether this new ecological relationship originating from him and the fire dragon Detel could be successfully born on this continent full of cruel jungle laws.

The relationship between ecosystems is always interconnected. Perhaps this seemingly small symbiotic relationship can one day flap the wings of a butterfly and form a storm.

With Luo Yun's approval, the Fire Dragon Detel leader was full of energy. He took the initiative to contribute his only thief dragon and sent Maomao and the dependent Detel to the middle level of the ancient tree area to lobby the small Detel tribes scattered in hidden locations in this area.

In the grand canyon near the ancient tree forest, listening to the endless roar of thunder on the top of the mountain, the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe shrank in the territory. The battle-hardened Thunder Wolf Dragon, who had become the new leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragons, stood on a high place, looking vigilantly at the area filled with thunderstorms in the distance.

Dense thunder descended upon the earth, illuminating the dark night.

The unicorn beast that seemed to appear only in fairy tales was now walking in the thunderstorm, and the thunderclouds like a natural disaster moved with its movement.

Thunder is His toy, falling around Him at will. Wherever His four hooves step, they will leave streaks of lightning and attract bursts of thunder in the sky.

Even though his body is small and does not fit in with the mainstream large monsters in the world, his ability to cause natural disasters is undoubtedly the best proof of his being an ancient dragon.

He stopped walking and looked in the direction of his gaze. He saw a golden lion with a sturdy physique and face like an orangutan, a pair of hard horns, and dense mane like a lion. It was dark brown in color, about 12 meters long, and had the title of the King of Toothed Beasts. It was holding on to the cliff with its hands, staring at him with eyes full of greed and fighting spirit.

This fateful scene was not the first time for Qilin.

Having experienced this three times, he knew very well why this fanged beast, which looked larger than him, came here.

The horn that had been broken three times seemed to still be aching.

But the ancient dragon's pride would not allow him to escape without a fight.

Being called a phantom beast, He possesses the ability to teleport instantly by relying on thunderstorms. If He wants to leave, there are not many creatures that can stop Him. As the pride of the ancient dragon, Qilin still attacks as it did the previous three times.

For the Golden Lion, after defeating the ancient dragon Qilin, he eats the Qilin horn, absorbs the electrolytes in the Qilin horn to activate and perfectly control the electrical energy in the body, and gains the ability to discharge electricity and transform into fighting spirit.

This is an essential step for every golden lion to complete their "coming of age ceremony". The successful ones will survive and continue to be a member of the top ecological niche below the ancient dragon level.

Moreover, after activating the fighting spirit and entering an excited state, it possesses combat power that is no weaker than that of ordinary ancient dragons. It can even fight with the Annihilator Dragon, which is also one of the strongest ancient dragons.

As for if they fail, they will be eliminated by the ecology. There does not need to be such weaklings among adult golden lions. This is an ecological law unique to golden lions!
In the face of the overwhelming thunderstorm, his iron-hard muscles bulged slightly as he shuttled freely in the thunderstorm.

Although it does not have a body as huge as other dragon species, its incredible speed, unparalleled strength, and the ability to swim freely in thunder all demonstrate its absolute strength as the top of the ecological niche below the ancient dragons.

The natural disaster thunderstorm that Qilin is proud of can't have much impact on the golden lion at all. Only the thunder and lightning caused by Qilin itself can cause damage to it.

The Qilin was incredibly fast, and every movement was like teleportation as it continuously attacked the golden lion again and again.

In comparison, although the speed of the golden lion is not slow, that is only compared to ordinary creatures other than the ancient dragon. Compared to the Qilin that can teleport, this speed is not enough.

But the golden lion has thick skin and exaggerated reaction speed!

Qilin's ranged attacks cannot break through defense, so it can only initiate close combat.

This gave the Golden Lion an opportunity to take advantage.

After once again withstanding the violent lightning, the golden lion successfully grabbed the charging Qilin.

With one hand, he tightly clamped the Qilin's neck, enduring the Qilin's struggle and the blue electric current that was enough to easily kill ordinary creatures, while with the other hand he tightly grasped the Qilin's horn.

He roared angrily and exerted force on all the muscles in his body, intending to break the Qilin horn in this way.

Suddenly, the Qilin also roared, and lightning like a beam of light fell from the sky and covered them. The ground exploded, and the powerful electric current split the rocky ground into cracks one after another.

Under this exaggerated electric current, the Golden Lion's strength inevitably dissipated slightly.

The Qilin, which had absorbed the lightning and strengthened itself, and further improved its physical fitness, took advantage of this opportunity to break free.

The angry lightning pierced deeply into the chest of the golden lion, pushing it all the way to the edge of the canyon, and then knocked it out with a shake of its head.

The severely injured golden lion fell heavily to the ground, rolled down the tall slope, and disappeared into the forest below.

Qilin looked at this scene coldly. Then a flash of lightning flashed across the sky and Qilin's figure disappeared.

The thunderstorm in the sky gradually dissipated with the departure of Qilin.

In the ancient tree forest, the golden lion hung limply on the tree branch as if it was dead. Only the slightly rising and falling chest showed that it was not completely dead yet.
