Monster life starting from picking up materials

It was the first time the hunter saw a real pterosaur, but that didn't stop him from seeing the thick flesh on the pterosaur's chest, abdomen and thighs, and the saliva coming out of its mouth.

But every arrow missed the target, as if the wind was against the hunter and was deliberately protecting the pterosaur.

However, the pterosaur in the air did not get frightened and flee after being attacked, but continued to hover in the air.

Two broad fingers pressed down the hunter's shoulders, and the dragon man stood up from the stone, staring at the pterosaur in the air.

“It’s wind pressure.”

Chapter 287 When Humanity's Stars Shine (Revised)

It was the first time that the hunter saw the old man guarding the village with such an expression.

When he was a child, the sky was blood red like this, and the dragon people were guarding the village entrance, watching their timidity or curiosity, and muttering incomprehensible words.

He seemed to know how to do everything. With a few fiddles of his rough, calloused hands, a small bow was hung around his neck.

He seemed to know everything. Whenever the village chief encountered problems, he would come to him. He had endless stories to tell, from his childhood to the present.

But this is the first time I’ve heard of the term “wind pressure”.

"You take the prey back first. I'll go out for a while."

The dragon man patted his shoulder and pushed him onto the stone shelf that represented the entrance to the village.

As for himself, he was like a pterosaur flying away, his back dragging out a long trail of loneliness.

The hunter threw the big beetle in his hand to the child and asked him to take it back. He then walked out of the village and chased after the lonely figure.

……

The pterosaur descended from the sky, with a rather human hesitation in its eyes.

After all, this was the first time that Ji Jie was prepared to take the initiative to communicate and contact.

After becoming a monster, when it comes into contact with humans, he either appears to be harmless and in close contact, or never reveals his communicative side. Subjectively, he does not want to expose the alien soul beneath the monster's body.

Before he was exposed, humans could only see his body, as if he was wearing a mask.

But after being exposed, people's eyes will be directed towards the alien soul in the body, naked.

He wondered if the unknown would become known, and after people's fears disappeared, would they reveal their ignorance of boundaries to alien souls?

Without the barrier of masks, will there be irreparable hostility?

This is not something that can be solved by changing the mask. What Ji Jie hates is that this kind of thing might happen.

"Don't you understand what fear is?"

The black-clothed dragon man had never said this to him, but his chanting style was particularly consistent with this sentence, and he could imagine it in his mind without any sense of incongruity.

After putting the black-clothed dragon man in his shoes and severely belittling him, he suddenly didn't understand what fear was.

A mere human being, whether in contact or not, cannot restrain him.

The eyes of humans in this world will not be able to catch up with the souls of aliens, because they will leave this world.

The Great Elder's narrowed eyes widened as he saw the pterosaur's body begin to expand and its momentum was also rising.

Ji Jie took off half of his mask. With the majestic aura of the Flame King Dragon, he took the initiative to resonate with the dragon man.

The Great Elder covered his forehead with his hands. He was once the ruler of East Dorma, and the Great Elder Hall he was in charge of had the most documents and materials in the world. The dragon man himself was a special existence of the dragon man clan.

He knew a lot, things that humans didn't know, and things that dragons didn't know, so he could easily say NO to the ancient dragon.

Just an ancient dragon, haven't you seen the old mountain dragon's tail cut off? Cut it in two with one stroke!

However, the other party's attitude was not condescending as Gu Long usually was. This was a peaceful and equal exchange.

But their situations are not equal.

The other person's body was proud and strong, while he was just a shirtless old man who had suffered the ravages of time.

When the other party threw out a corner of the broken city, his body trembled uncontrollably. He knew that he had lost the right to choose.

He cares about Dondoruma and wants to know the information about Dondoruma.

He was so concerned that he was confused. For a moment, he even felt that it didn't matter even if he was controlled.

The old dragon man clenched and unclenched his fists, and raised his aura. Even though his body and mind were in old age, his momentum was not inferior to that of the Flame King Dragon.

Only the hunter hiding in the corner was so frightened that his legs went limp, staring blankly at the eye contact between the two "monsters".

Seeing that the Great Elder had quickly completed the reconstruction of the world view, Ji Jie nodded with satisfaction, worthy of being the knowledgeable Great Elder.

However, the Great Elder showed some strangeness about being recognized by Yang Yanlong.

The Flame King Dragon raised his aura, allowing him to gather his scattered thoughts and avoid being caught up in some insignificant threads.

He was still observing the Yangyan Dragon in front of him. He had to admit that he had never seen such a strong and majestic male Yangyan Dragon since he could remember.

Every male Yangyan Dragon in his memory appeared in groups in his mind, and the one in front of him could undoubtedly become the Dragon King among them.

They all noticed the peeping hunter, but Ji Jie didn't care, and the Great Elder didn't show too much concern, intending to arouse the other party's attention.

"Have you been to Dondoruma?"

"Dondoruma."

The Flame King Dragon chewed on human cognition. It was the center of the world, the most prosperous city of mankind. It had been attacked by monsters since ancient times, but it had never fallen.

She only fell once.

Ji Jie solemnly shared the only time she fell.

No, she did not fall. The giant god of Purgatory fell before the city was destroyed.

The tentacles of thought extended and retracted, and the words were changed to avoid irritating the old man.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh echoed in the valley. The dragon man was silent, but his impression of the other party increased slightly because of his solemnity and correct words.

The other party's request was simply to tell him the whole story.

It was clearly just a simple inquiry, but it seemed as if it was going to open up a scar.

But what civilization did these ancient dragons understand? Who knew? The one in front of him might not even be older than him.

The Great Elder can also judge the age of a Flame Dragon by the patterns on its horns.

He sat on the stone and began to slowly recount everything that humans could do to intimidate the other party into staying away from the remaining civilization.

The Storm Dragon was repelled, the Old Mountain Dragon was repelled, the Peak Mountain Dragon was repelled, the Sea Dragon was repelled...

Their army can drive the Black Death, who is no less powerful than the ancient dragon, into the desperate situation of the volcano. If it were not for the concerns about the structure of the volcano, there would be no need for the hunter to go alone.

Yangyan Dragon, Steel Dragon, Mist Dragon... Faced with the threat of natural disasters, they went from being destroyed in ignorance, to noticing it in advance and migrating, and then to fighting them off to protect their homes.

A blue speed dragon can easily prey on humans, and there are many stronger monsters, but they still seek survival from the cracks between monsters.

The Dragon people have witnessed the chain reaction of ecological destruction and know that they are part of the ecosystem and will collapse due to the collapse of the ecology.

In addition to protecting the settlements, they put more energy into the wilderness, but restricted hunting in order to maintain the current ecology and prevent chain reactions.

But everything was destroyed, and they failed to win for the current ecology.

He hated and felt relieved about the world-destroying Black Dragon. They just lost, and they could do better if they had another chance.

Now, after everything has been destroyed, they choose to sow the old seeds and wait for the new ecology to coexist with them.

His voice vibrated with his thoughts, and the hunter couldn't help but listen in fascination.

Ji Jie was also fascinated by what he heard. It took him a long time to realize that he was not asking about the time when the stars shone for mankind, but was asking about the whole story of that war!

It sounds good, I love it, and I’ll keep listening to it.

Chapter 288 Natural Balance (Revised)

The Great Elder did not have much awe for the ancient dragons. They were all part of nature, and they were in a competitive relationship of the survival of the fittest.

When the veil of the Scourge is lifted, the ancient dragons are just powerful individuals.

The migration of ancient dragons will change the ecological environment. On the contrary, restricting ancient dragons to an environment suitable for them can stabilize the current ecological environment.

There are also fights among the ancient dragons, and they will not allow another natural disaster to cause devastating changes to the ecological environment in which they live.

Any monster will do this, including humans as intelligent beings.

But they were still far from being able to communicate with monsters, and now that they had met an ancient dragon with whom they could communicate, the great elder naturally did not mind sharing the dragon people's outlook on life.

Balance is always fragile.

Even in East Dorma, there are different factions and doctrines among the dragons who worship nature.

Some scholars believe that only parts of the monster should be stripped off, and most of the monster's body should be left in place to nourish the land, so as to maintain the balance of nature.

Some scholars believe that no one should underestimate the lives of monsters, and hunters have an obligation to ensure that the sacrifices of monsters are not wasted. To underestimate the death of monsters is to destroy the balance of nature.

The two sides have equally strong opinions, their ideas overlap, but there are also parts that exclude each other. Balance can only be maintained by balancing the two.

Balance yourself and spread the power of expansion to balance the monsters.

Natural competition is pure survival of the fittest, but the monsters' survival of the fittest needs to be balanced by the intelligence of life.

Guilds and humans represent the intellectual side as a balance.

Seeing that Ji Jie was willing to listen, the Great Elder put aside his achievements used for deterrence and described the life of mankind in the past. It was not just hunters and knights, but also the ordinary people who held up the stars and held up the hunters and knights.

If we neglect the order of humanity itself in order to maintain the balance of nature, then humanity will disintegrate from within and destroy the balance.

Therefore, the long-lived dragon man became the village chief and taught humans to recognize and understand balance, so as to avoid the disasters caused by the destruction of balance in the past from a cultural perspective.

The guild also set up gathering places to support hunters, so that hunters can enjoy love and be encouraged to interact more with villagers without being derailed from normal life.

Humans and monsters are all part of nature, and hunters and ordinary people should also be part of humanity.

"What about the Black Dragon? What about those forbidden monsters?"

Ji Jie raised his head and looked at the slightly reddish night sky.

"We treat them the same as the ancient dragons. Their activities will change the current ecology, so we will restrict them as an intellectual force."

Even if a natural disaster becomes an individual, we should treat that individual as a natural disaster.

They avoid becoming natural disasters themselves, but they also fight for their own right to survive under natural disasters. They welcome the challenge.

"And the poachers?"

A hunter who violates the balance and hunts monsters privately.

"The shadow of the guild will punish hunters who disrupt the balance. People's hearts are unavoidable, but through the improvement of rules and regulations, we can continue to get better and do better."

"If we have the opportunity to face the challenge of the Black Dragon again, we will definitely be able to do better."

“But why did we fail?”

Balancing those negative emotions, the Great Elder sorted out his feelings and wanted to summarize the reasons for their failure, learn lessons and become better.

They were already better off than the Shurad Kingdom a thousand years ago, when humanity had achieved its first major victory against monsters.

However, the huge gap between pride and complacency made humans greedy and reckless, occupying an overwhelming position in hunting monsters and greedily demanding the gifts from nature.

Under the endless hunting, people's hearts and strength gradually expanded, and the balance was unbalanced.

The Great Elder thought of the guild's other seal, which depicted a monster with a long neck and tail, spewing fire from its mouth.

It was a pure evil dragon, but it was also the "balancer of power" at that time.

"Because humans failed to live up to expectations in the beginning."

Ji Jie repeated the answer given by the black-clothed dragon man, looking forward to the explanation from the great elder.

"Yeah, because we couldn't kill him in the first decisive battle."

The Great Elder snorted coldly, remaining noncommittal about such a cruel price.

The challenges of the evil dragon are always cruel, just like the cruel side of nature, relying on strength to achieve a brutal balance.

Why the evil dragon? Because they both believe the other possesses intelligence.
