Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

It wasn't just the hind legs that were removed!

The blade seemed to be delayed and gradually spread backwards to the chest of the Thousand Blade Dragon. The next second, the monster couldn't even wail before its heart was completely split in half by the aftermath of the sword energy!

The battle is over.

Lilia's face was splattered with blood.

But she turned her head away, showing a smile that was out of tune with the current scene, and said to Ye Zi:

"Well, Yezi, if you're attacked during the vacuum period when the Kinsect is pulling out new silk, you can use the move of Pulling and Strike to counter~"

"Ah...ah..."

Ye Zi looked at the legendary hunter in front of him, whose face was covered with monster blood but still had a calm and playful smile. He was stunned and nodded silently.

After coming back to his senses, he said excitedly:

"Coach...I want to learn...hunting skills!"

On the other side, Han Xin was also stroking his chin as if he had just seen something interesting.

"Is this the current Legendary Hunter's Combat Strength VI VII 'Yi 児捌四（四_*）８?

The Mad Dragon transformed into the Thousand Blade Dragon and was solved while chatting and laughing?

And he only used three moves? Hiss… It’s so terrifying…”

She knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg for this hunter.

After the battle, the three men put away their swords.

After stripping the necessary materials, Lilia began to study the corpse of the Thousand Blade Dragon.

As the chief hunter of the Dragon Calendar Academy, she naturally learned the scholars' methods of deciphering and researching. After struggling for a while, she nodded and said:

"Yes, there are indeed obvious black threads in the internal organs. This is the early symptom of mad dragon disease infection. Mr. Han Xin's vision is indeed sharp.

Judging from the time, the infection may have occurred yesterday."

Han Xin walked forward to take a look at the body, and also analyzed the clues:

"So the Black Eclipse Dragon may have entered the Fortress Heights.

With the Thousand Blade Dragon's flying ability, it wouldn't be difficult for it to fly from the westernmost area of ​​the Fortress Highlands to the vicinity of the hunting grounds, but the fact that it can still fly this far while suffering from Dragon Madness is enough to prove that we are close enough to the Black Eclipse Dragon.

Lilia glanced at Han Xin, her eyes more scrutinizing, and then she said:

“We may not have much time left.

In the name of the Dragon Calendar Institute, I urgently changed the exploration mission to [Subjugate] the Black Eclipse Dragon.

Ye Zi, it’s not too late for you to quit now.”

Hearing this, Ye Zi shook his head.

"I don't want to quit! Miss Lilia! Please take me with you!"

Looking at the energetic and eager girl, Lilia didn't refuse, but still gave another thoughtful reminder:

“Okay, but we must always consider the worst-case scenario.

According to the information you provided about the Black Eclipse Dragon surviving for over ten months, if this Black Eclipse Dragon isn't some special individual...

There are multiple individuals."

Hearing this, Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

[Multiple entities? Then, here comes my chance!]

A small plan emerged from Han Xin's heart.

Dawn: Chapter 199: Corrupted Light

After obtaining some clues, Han Xin and others continued to move towards the westernmost area of ​​the Fortress Heights.

During this time, Lilia taught Ye Zi the content of hunting skills during the break.

In addition to the Sakura Air Blade Slash and Mirror Flower Structure that can be activated without the use of Kinsects, there are also two hunting techniques called [Qi Refining and Release Full Moon Slash] and [Demon Sword Rakshasa].

The Qi Refining and Unleashing Full Moon Slash is a magical skill that does not consume Qi Refining in a short period of time. It is achieved by injecting one's own momentum into the sword through a short period of meditation, drawing a circle with the sword, and swinging a sharp blow.

To reach this level, not only does the user need to have a high level of talent, but the user also needs to reach the mysterious realm of unity between man and sword.

The demon sword Rakshasa is different from all hunting techniques or Kinsect techniques.

After mobilizing the energy and momentum in the body to release the hunting skill called Demon Sword Rakshasa, the user will continue to lose his own vitality.

And transfer the lost vitality to the blade, making the attack more fierce.

Moreover, after this move is activated, the attack will also steal the monster's vitality, which can more or less correct the lost vitality of the monster.

But Lilia still reminded everyone that this trick should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Just as she had heard from Master Kolos many years ago, Lilia also told Ye Zi the taboos contained in this move:

"With your life as a sacrifice, the demon sword will reveal its true form. Man and sword will become one, transforming into the demon sword Rakshasa. If there is no sacrifice, it will eventually destroy your body."

Once you become addicted to the bloodthirsty mood of the demon sword Rakshasa, it will be difficult to extricate yourself.

During Lilia's hunting training,

Han Xin also watched and tried to learn.

However, to his disappointment, it seemed that hunting skills could only be used by mobilizing special energy in the hunter's body, and it was not something Han Xin could do with Melalu's body.

A few days later, they arrived at the westernmost edge of the Fortress Plateau.

Although Ye Zi has made progress in his studies in the past few days, he cannot use those hunting skills freely.

But even so, Lilia was still amazed at the young hunter's talent and how fast he learned.

However, they were still on a mission after all, so when they arrived at the place indicated by the clues, they still focused on exploration.

The deeper they went into the place, the more complex the terrain became.

Not to mention the need to cross the sticky and difficult swamp area, just avoiding the plants that were flowing with purple venom took everyone a lot of time.

In addition, there are far more mountains and caves here than in the jungle area in the central region, making it even more difficult for them to search for clues.

Even a local hunter from Elgard would probably fall here if he was careless.

"The situation here is much more complicated than I imagined. No wonder our scholars haven't found any clues about monsters here.

　Just getting through here is probably already the limit for the observers, let alone observing the Black Eclipse Dragon from here.

However, this is indeed a good place for the Black Eclipse Dragon to hide."

Lilia squatted on the ground, feeling for a trace of monsters, and said with understanding.

The monster trace was very old and looked like a drag mark. It was covered with moss and water stains, making it impossible to tell what monster left it.

"It shouldn't be here. I think I should go a little further north."

Han Xin did not check for traces that might provide clues like Lilia did, but instead looked into the distance with a clear goal.

"Hmm? Mr. Han Xin, do you have any basis for this?"

[Based on? The basis is that what I saw in the memory fragments is not here.]

Although he wanted to say so, Han Xin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"intuition."

"Hmm~"

Lilia looked at Han Xin, without refutation, but still stood up and nodded.

"Well, since Mr. Han Xin has said so, then I will naturally choose to trust my companion!"

"Agree!"

Ye Zi also raised his little hand and echoed happily.

As everyone continued to move forward, Han Xin had become the team leader.

He stood on a rock platform and looked into the distance, and found that a certain hilltop was very similar to the place where Gangchanmon encountered the Black Dragon in his memory.

There is no doubt that the answers that everyone is looking forward to may be buried there.

However, as soon as they approached that area, Lilia warned Ye Zi.

"It seems Mr. Han Xin's intuition is very accurate. There is indeed a problem here. Ye Zi, follow me closely and don't fall behind."

"clear."

Even without being reminded, Ye Zi could sense that the atmosphere here was quite eerie.

If the swamps and mountain streams I just stepped into were only a burden on my body,

At this moment, the air is filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Dead silence.

Hollow.

Suffocating.

Walking on this road full of thorns and vines, not to mention the singing of birds, even the chirping of insects was not heard.

There was only the sound of people breathing and footsteps crushing dead branches and leaves.

All the plants have twisted branches and leaves, looking as if they are unrestrained and growing wildly.

Anyone with a little hunter's common sense would know that no herbivores have visited here for a long time.

Without the permanent presence of herbivores, not only are the large carnivores hard to find, but even the cunning dog dragons that used to be everywhere in the Fortress Heights have disappeared without a trace.

The ecosystem here is on the verge of collapse.

"Mr. Han Xin, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Lilia broke the silence, giving Ye Zi, who was nervous at the back, a slight scare.

"Why would you ask such a question even though you already know the answer? The Black Eclipse Dragon is right here."

Seeking profit and avoiding harm is the instinct of all monsters, and the only ones who can do this are the monsters that bring natural disasters.
