Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 99: Cat feeding its cubs, a closer relationship

Seeing that Sita had really let it go, Tonkotsu opened his mouth but in the end said nothing. This was Sita's decision and it had no right to interfere.

What's more, Sita has said that this was its dream in the past. In this case, Tongut has no right to say anything.

"Don't make that expression, meow! Don't think that just because I'm a chef I can't guide you in your training. You're still far from that, meow!"

Seeing that Tonkotsu looked a little gloomy, Sita snorted coldly and said fiercely with his arms folded.

But now it's wrapped in bandages all over, and it doesn't seem to be very majestic.

In the following period of time, with the death of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the restlessness in the forest gradually disappeared, and the ecology destroyed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex would quickly recover.

No one knows how many monsters the Tyrannosaurus killed along the way. The herbivorous dinosaurs actually grew explosively, and the originally precarious ecological chain seemed to have been reborn, and after recovering, it seemed even more stable.

The territories in the ancient tree area that had been firmly occupied by monsters for a long time and had even become solidified are now vacant. Many monsters from other places have poured in, bringing some new vitality to this area.

Luo Yun has been living an easy life recently. The living environment in the ancient tree forest is so good and the resources are abundant. Therefore, apart from the disputes over territory, there are very few fights caused by survival pressure.

Yaji's injuries were completely healed without any hidden injuries left.

Part of the unused medicine was kept by the Fire Dragon Detel as reserve resources, and the other part was distributed to other tribes of the ancient tree fire dragon clan to enhance the cohesion of the population.

However, this period of time was the most uncomfortable time for the male fire dragons except Luo Yun.

The reason is that this period is the time when fire dragon eggs hatch!

During this period, the female fire dragon is extremely irritable and sensitive. Even if the male fire dragon makes some big noise, he will be driven out of the house by the female fire dragon.

The hatching fire dragon eggs are an absolute taboo that cannot be touched. Even the Detters can only clean the outside of the nest under the vigilant gaze of the female fire dragon during this period. If they get one step closer to the nest, they will be expelled by the female fire dragon.

During this period, even the most suicidal birds will not come to steal eggs.

Each female dragon will lay 8 to 12 eggs in a batch, but only 3 to 5 of them can be successfully hatched.

Of the few fire dragons that were hatched, only half were able to grow to adulthood.
But even so, fire dragons are still the most numerous high-ecological-niche flying dragon species in the world.

As time passed, the fire dragon cubs began to break out of their shells. The big-headed cubs cried loudly, making the ancient tree much more lively.

The male fire dragons begin to go out hunting more frequently, while the female fire dragons are responsible for feeding. The spines on their jaws will become larger and hollow during this period.

The food brought back by the male fire dragon from hunting will be torn into fine pieces by the female fire dragon, then chewed into meat crumbs and fed to the cubs through the tubular spines.

There were just some small changes this year.

A pair of fire dragons near the canopy of the ancient tree. They are the second family of fire dragons to begin accepting long-term service from cats.

This time their luck was incredible, seven cubs hatched from a batch of eggs.

Now the female fire dragon was at a loss and overwhelmed.

Every day the cubs are like baby birds waiting to be fed, opening their mouths wide and constantly calling for the mother dragon to feed them.

However, chewing minced meat is a delicate job. The mouth structure of a fire dragon is suitable for biting, not chewing, so every time there are cubs that go hungry. Before long, two cubs began to become dying, and the lack of nutrition was obvious to the naked eye. They were in a period of rapid physical development, but they were so much thinner than the cubs of the same batch.

But every time they waited for the mother dragon to feed them, they were always defeated by their other strong brothers and sisters.

By the time the other cubs had eaten, it was already very late when it was their turn.

It’s the same for any cub. They need to eat many times a day. The number of times they can eat in a day is set, and there’s nothing you can do if you miss it.

This creates a vicious cycle.

One day, a female cat who had been responsible for taking care of the fire dragon couple's family could no longer bear it.

It also assisted the female fire dragon in taking care of these fire dragon eggs before they were hatched.

The babies were hatched at this time, but were treated like this. The mother cat felt a little distressed.

So it secretly took some meat and cut it into pieces according to the degree to which the food was broken into pieces after the female fire dragon chewed it.

When the female fire dragon had no time to take care of the two skinny cubs, he used a wooden bowl made to imitate the hollow thorns of the female fire dragon, and fed the two cubs while suppressing his fear.

In the past, such behavior would definitely result in an attack, as the sensitive fire dragon couple would not allow any threat to appear around their cub.

But perhaps because they are too familiar with each other, the cat has completely gained the trust of the fire dragon couple, or perhaps the female fire dragon understands that she really cannot take care of so many cubs at the same time.

So after seeing the cat's actions, the female fire dragon just leaned over, and while the cat was trembling with fear, she licked a mouthful of the broth in the wooden bowl, and after making sure it was harmless, she continued to feed her other children.

Seeing that the female fire dragon did not take any other action after licking him, Maomao understood that she was tacitly approving of his behavior.

With a delighted expression on his face, he carefully handed over the wooden bowl and began to feed the two cubs meticulously. Looking at the two cubs swallowing the food in big mouthfuls, the cat smiled as if he was taking care of his own children.

When Luo Yun heard the news from the leader of the Fire Dragon Detel, he was also very surprised.

The extreme protection that a mother dragon has for her cubs is almost a unified instinct of all monsters in this world that have the concept of family affection. Even if the cub dies under such extreme protection, the mother dragon will not allow other creatures to appear near the cub.

But unexpectedly, now there are cats that have broken this traditional instinct and are able to participate in feeding the cubs. This is undoubtedly a new progress, which means that the symbiotic relationship between the ancient tree fire dragon clan and the fire dragon clan is closer.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, the two sides may become inseparable.

Although this is just an exception at the moment, most fire dragon families are still very wary of cats while raising their cubs, but Luo Yun believes that as time goes by, this kind of thing will continue to happen until it becomes the norm.

At this time, Luo Yun was secretly thinking in his heart that if this trend continued, when the legendary blue star came to the New World in the future, he would want to obtain the materials of the fire dragon to create equipment, and thus come to the ancient tree.

Will he be stabbed in the back by the cat?

The thought of a mixed beating between a fire dragon and its follower cat makes the dragon excited.

　Sorry, I broke my promise and there are still only two chapters tonight. After staying up late last night, I am obviously a little groggy today. I need to sort out the next chapters carefully, and also reorganize the outline to make the growth of the protagonist more reasonable.

　　Sorry (bow)

　　Good night everyone~
