Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Deep within the瘴气 (miasma) zone.

Wind Spirit closed her eyes, quietly sensing the slightest movements in the environment. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "It's been quiet for so long, I thought they had already left. What a pity.

Get ready, they're coming."

"Gi."

The Miasma Corpse Dragon responded softly.

It opened its dragon mouth, almost devoid of flesh, with a ferocious shape but not much biting force, and spewed out a special miasma different from the surrounding environment.

This miasma appeared as a light bluish-white color, with astonishingly strong activity, constantly trembling as it drifted in the air. After merging into the surrounding dark yellow miasma, the miasma filling the entire cave began to boil.

The miasma-resistant amulet hanging on Wind Spirit's chest also emitted a faint light at this time, the mysterious blessing defending her against the unconscious erosion from the miasma microorganisms.

The goal of using Teostra and Lunastra to purify the fungi on the island has been achieved. Next, we just need to drive those two guys away and save Ugly's life.

She put on a filter mask for herself and Amber beside her, preparing for battle.

Low roars and the sound of flames erupting slowly approached.

Judging from these sounds, the Teostra couple was still very cautious, at least not relying on their flame-covered bodies and fearlessness of miasma to recklessly charge forward.

Instead, they were clearing the miasma in the caves along the way step by step.

Doing so might seem to make the Miasma Corpse Dragon lose its home field advantage, but in reality, it was just wasting energy.

Under Wind Spirit's suggestion, the Miasma Corpse Dragon had long decided to use its own nest as the battlefield, contracting its defense. As for whether the miasma in the outer caves was cleared, it wouldn't have much impact on the subsequent battle.

It's just that if they want to restore the miasma zone to a more "healthy" state in the future, it might take a few more years.

The roars of the two Teostras grew closer and closer, and the Miasma Corpse Dragon gathered its wings, continuously spewing out miasma, appearing somewhat nervous.

Wind Spirit, holding her sword and shield, suddenly spoke, "Hey, Ugly."

The Miasma Corpse Dragon shuddered and looked at her in confusion.

"I suddenly remembered, your 'subordinates' probably won't be of much use either. Facing Teostra and Lunastra, it's just a matter of a flame breath.

Why not give me two?"

The Miasma Corpse Dragon tilted its head. It didn't quite understand Wind Spirit's meaning, but it could roughly guess what she wanted to do with those zombies.

Out of trust in Wind Spirit, it nodded.

Wind Spirit grinned and came to a Great Paralysis Knell, whose body was rotten, skull exposed, and front claws missing half, and swung her Severing Blade in a flurry of slashes.

The Miasma Corpse Dragon was a little dumbfounded, but it still used the microorganisms that had invaded the Great Paralysis Knell's brain and central nervous system to suppress its instinct to counterattack, allowing Wind Spirit to chop it down to the ground.

"Hehe."

Inserting the Severing Blade into the shield to complete charging, activating the Red Shield, and seeing that the zombie-like Great Paralysis Knell was still quite "energetic", she launched another flurry of slashes, activating the Red Sword as well, and incidentally completely filling the energy in the bottle inside the shield.

By the time she had finished all this, the already faltering Great Paralysis Knell only had its last breath left.

She shook her head at the Miasma Corpse Dragon, "Don't waste it."

The Great Paralysis Knell screamed, but its already rotten and broken vocal cords couldn't produce a sound. In just a few seconds, when all the microorganisms had left its body and returned to the embrace of the Miasma Corpse Dragon.

The Great Paralysis Knell truly lost its life and turned into a shriveled corpse.

Wind Spirit and the Miasma Corpse Dragon smacked their lips in perfect sync. This Great Paralysis Knell could be considered to have been used to its fullest extent by them.

Amber squatted aside speechlessly.

Just looking at this scene, I'm afraid anyone would think that this person and dragon were the evildoers.

"Rumble--!"

The commotion outside grew closer, and the miasma density inside the Miasma Corpse Dragon's nest had already reached the point where you couldn't see your legs when you looked down.

If it weren't for the Miasma Corpse Dragon specifically dispersing the miasma between it and Wind Spirit, Wind Spirit wouldn't even be able to see where it was.

Wind Spirit gestured to Amber. As hunting partners for many years, Amber immediately understood her intention and silently retreated into the miasma, disappearing without a trace.

Wind Spirit smiled at the Miasma Corpse Dragon again, put on her Ghillie Mantle, and also disappeared into the thick miasma.

The surroundings quieted down, leaving only itself alone, but the Miasma Corpse Dragon didn't panic.

Its main senses weren't sight, nor hearing or smell, but the connection with the miasma microorganisms. As long as there was miasma nearby, nothing could escape its "sight".

It knew that its good friend and that dog hadn't left, but were lurking nearby, waiting for the opportunity.

"Gegegege," it lowered its head and emitted a low, laughter-like murmur.

The miasma that had been pushed away to the surroundings enveloped it, completely hiding its figure, leaving only the thick, almost liquid miasma, slowly churning, like an invisible giant mouth, preparing to devour all invading enemies.

On the other side, Lunastra and Teostra, who had been burning miasma all the way and gradually arrived at the core area of the miasma zone, also paused.

After releasing fire for a whole day and night, burning down a large island of several hundred square kilometers, and burning miasma all the way here, even with their stamina, it was really a bit too much.

Considering the great battle that might break out later, they prepared to stop and rest for a moment.

Teostra continued to spew flames towards the ground, the astonishingly hot dragon fire spreading to the surroundings, completely burning away the remaining miasma in the cave they were in, while scorching a large area of the ground.

Lunastra exhaled a hot breath with sparks from her mouth and nose, and together with Teostra, lay down on this "soft and warm" magma bed, just about to take a nap.

The strange laughter of "gegegege" came through the dark passage, echoing repeatedly in this labyrinthine cave, as if mocking their timidity for not daring to go straight to the end.

Teostra didn't react much, but Lunastra, with her irritable temperament, already stood up with a "whoosh!"

"Roar--!" She supported herself on all fours, spread her wings wide, and roared furiously towards the opposite side of the passage where the strange sound came from in response.

"Gegege" Another strange laugh came.

Unable to suppress her anger any longer, Lunastra's body blazed with flames, and she rushed towards that passage regardless.

Teostra was helpless, but could only follow.

Passing through the winding and narrow passage, the two Teostras finally arrived at the cave that had long been completely filled with high-concentration miasma.

The strange laughter, like the whispers of a demon, lingered in their ears, guiding them to the depths of the cave.

Lunastra's temperament may be irritable, but she's not a fool.

The visibility in this cave is almost zero, so of course it's impossible for her to foolishly follow that strange sound and move forward.

Slowly retreating to Teostra's side, bright flames ignited on both Teostra's bodies at the same time. The next second, two flame pillars nearly a meter thick shot towards the position where the strange sound came from in front.

"Boom!"

The ultra-high temperature flames pierced through the miasma, hitting something.

The roar of the dragon fire explosion shook the stalactites on the top of the cave, and the firelight barely penetrated the miasma, illuminating the thing that was hit by the flame breath for a moment.

That was a terrifying giant skull much larger than the two of them combined. Even if the flame breath exploded in that giant skull's mouth, "it" was unharmed.
