Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon ordered Aiden to continue to observe the three ancient dragons creating flame tornadoes, and the others returned to the camp surrounded by mushrooms.

Mushroom ignored his injuries and quickly recounted what he had discovered at the bottom of the valley.

"That red dragon is over sixty meters long, but it moves really fast."

"That kind of high-energy breath is a bit similar to the Dark Lantern Dragon, but it is much more solid, and it won't lose control like the Dark Lantern Dragon. It's very precise.

The hit location will cause a violent explosion, even the rocks will be burned. "

"With a flash of light under its body, all the wounds were healed, and even the scales returned to their original state."

"After the Ice Dragon froze it, the Nergigante smashed its head, but even with such a wound, it recovered in the blink of an eye, Meow!"

"But! After that time, the light that lit up on the ground didn't seem to be as bright as it was at the beginning, meow! It didn't recover as frequently as before, meow."

After telling everything he saw in as much detail as possible, Mushroom's tense nerves finally let go. His body went limp and he was about to faint.

Pork Chop and Pandan quickly lifted it up and took it to the tent in the camp to treat its wounds.

Gordon's face was solemn, "The wound healed in the blink of an eye or something. It sounds like an exaggerated description, but looking at the mushroom, he must be serious.

It's not like the self-healing ability of living things, which is what the Dragon King relies on. "

"No, that is beyond the scope of self-healing ability." The professor denied: "No matter how strong the self-healing ability is, it can at most be like the Nergigante, which can heal flesh and blood very quickly.

As for keratinous tissues such as scales and spines, they can only regenerate and renew at best, rather than 'healing'.

The description of the mushroom is very clear. The wound does not heal as soon as it appears, but heals in an instant after the energy from the earth's veins flows into the red dragon's body along the ground.

If you guessed it correctly, this so-called 'self-healing ability' is essentially some external manifestation of their family's ability to control earth vein energy. "

"You mean, the red dragon directly converted energy into matter and filled the body's defects?! Is this possible?!" Ancier asked in disbelief.

"It sounds like a fairy tale, and it is completely beyond the scope of human technological understanding, but based on the current intelligence, this conclusion is indeed the most likely."

The leader of the research class took over and said: "It's like the earth's roaring dragon, which single-handedly changed the landscape of the New World. What level of energy is that?

It's incredible for us researchers, but it's true.

As a 'taboo', it is not surprising that Red Dragon has this level of ability.

Rather, compared to the formation of the Demon-Gathering Land, this use of energy to repair one's own wounds seems to be nothing worth mentioning. "

Anhir was silent.

Hayata suddenly said: "The mushroom finally said that when the red dragon condensed its energy, the light under its body became weaker, and the actions to recover from injuries were not as frequent as before.

Can we understand that this ability is not unlimited and will become exhausted under continuous use? "

The professor nodded, then shook his head, "It should be, but I don't think it's because of fatigue, but more likely because of the depletion of energy sources."

"Energy is exhausted, that's it!" The leader of the third phase team looked astonished.

Seeing that the hunters didn't react, she asked: "When you fight the Dark Lantern Dragon, it will also draw energy from the earth's veins from the ground, and then turn it into a torrent of energy to attack, right?"

Gordon was stunned, nodded and said, "That's right."

“Whether it is using leyline energy to attack or to repair one’s own injuries, it is essentially the same ability.

That is, the control and use of leyline energy.

As a juvenile, the Dark Lantern Dragon can control energy for a long time to fight. There is no reason for the adult Red Dragon to tire so quickly.

So the key lies in the source of energy! "

Anhil reacted, "The 'Conclusion Place' where we fought against the Dark Lantern Dragon is the end point of the energy cycle of the earth's veins in the entire New World.

The ground is completely covered with high-energy crystals, and even the energy that escapes can create a spectacle like the Land of Dragon Crystals.

The energy there is endless.

But the Valley of the Netherworld is different. The earth veins here are connected to the Demon-Gathering Land, and the Demon-Gathering Land is just an ecological box created by Chilong to imitate the New World.

The total amount of energy is incomparable to that of the Place of Absorption, and coupled with its continuous absorption while sleeping, there is not much left."

"Theoretically, this is correct." The professor nodded heavily, "So when fighting, you can give priority to the damaged parts.

Whether it's flesh, scales, claws, horns or anything else, the regeneration process requires a lot of energy.

Don't try to kill it quickly. Our only hope is to exhaust the energy in the Valley of the Netherland and drag it down until it is weak.

In the end, whether to slowly surround and kill them or rely on some external force will have a higher success rate. "

"No problem! Protracted battles, right? We're good at this." Gordon clenched his fists hard.

The professor's snow-white eyebrows twitched and reminded: "But don't forget one thing. For the red dragon, other ancient dragons are also good sources of energy.

It would be fine if the ancient dragons kill the red dragon. If the final winner is the red dragon, we have to grasp the time to intervene.

It must be dragged into the battle before it can absorb the energy of other ancient dragons and use it for its own purposes. "

"Did you hear everything?"

Gordon looked at the other hunters, "Get ready for battle. When the flame tornado stops, we will go to the entrance of the Valley of the Shadows and wait for the opportunity.

Be ready to swoop in at any time! "

The hunters responded one after another, and the two tusked hounds were already covered with ammunition boxes.

Ted poured another bottle of healing potion onto his bald head with blisters, as if he was taking a bath with the healing potion.

"There's a situation!"

At this moment, Aiden ran into the camp quickly, "There's something wrong with that flame tornado! Is it about to explode!?"

After hearing this, the professor quickly climbed up a large rock several meters high and looked towards the direction of the Valley of the Netherland with his agility that was not that of an elderly person.

The scale of the tornado did not expand. Instead, it became smaller and thinner under the constraints of the steel dragon's magnetic field.

This was not a sign that it was about to dissipate. On the contrary, the hot wind blowing to the camp became even more scorching.

I don't know when, but the intertwined red flames and blue flames with clear boundaries have merged into one body under the agitation of the strong wind, turning into a burning golden white.

It is reminiscent of the color of the sun.

The flame tornado that besieged Behemoth was not to this extent. It was obvious that the three ancient dragons had tried their best.

Suddenly, the tornado expanded violently and twisted.

The three ancient dragons coiled around the tornado walked away without looking back.

Realizing that something was wrong, the professor jumped down from the boulder.

"It's going to explode, get down quickly! Cover your ears!"

“Boom, boom—!!!”

With an unprecedented loud noise, the tornado that turned into a blazing white color exploded.

The aftermath of the explosion swept through the hunters' camp here.

A sharp tinnitus filled his brain, and Gordon stood up unsteadily.

He shook his head hard again and finally regained consciousness.

"Is everything okay?!" Gordon asked loudly.

The hunters and scholars in the camp stood up one after another.

Thanks to the professor's timely reminder and the thick surrounding mountains, most of the impact was blocked.

Many of them may even be seriously injured due to the aftermath of this explosion.

"Red Dragon!"

Anhir quickly checked whether the ballista was damaged in the impact, and shouted: "The aftermath is so powerful, the red dragon at the center of the explosion will definitely not feel it!

It is bound to be severely damaged, and the energy of the earth veins in the Valley of the Netherworld may not be enough for it to recover! "

"Call the pterodactyl!"

Gordon yelled, "Get ready for the assault, let's go!"
