Monster life starting from picking up materials

Relying on the power of liberation, Ji Jie knocked the body of the old mountain dragon away, staggered to his feet, and transformed back into a giant halberd dragon that was better at close combat.

But after the battle, Lao Shanlong was covered in wounds and had developed a fear of fighting.

She was seen standing on all fours, with her long neck piercing into the cracks caused by the earthquake. Her front paws lifted up the ground and she drilled into it little by little.

The old mountain dragon relied on brute force to burrow underground, but its speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, only half of its body was exposed. Ji Jie pounced on her, grabbed her tail, and began to pull it out.

"Don't run away, just let me dig up some more material!"

The originally fierce battle began to become ridiculous, as if the giant halberd dragon was helping to pull out the old mountain dragon in Kadi.

"boom!"

Lao Shanlong's legs sank into the cracks in the ground, and he kicked backwards little by little, just to move his body forward a little bit.

The keratin on the tail became a victim of this rally. After being torn off directly by the claws of the giant horn dragon, the tail was freed and the old mountain dragon was able to drill directly into the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Laoshan Dragon from changing areas, Ji Jie turned to collecting the materials he had collected during the battle and used them to fill Laoshan Dragon's totem.

The old mountain dragon cannot burrow very deep or for very long, so even if it appears again, it won't be far away. He has plenty of time to find his dragon-slaying spear.

If a dragon-slaying spear of that size could be inserted accurately, even the largest monster would be completely exhausted and unable to move.

……

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and there was a dark blue flame filling the sky.

The dragon scholar left the observation mirror, rang a small bell, and a flare was shot into the sky.

The shrill alarm bells rang out in the fortress, spreading to the valleys, calling on the hunters to move in and strengthen their vigilance.

There is no need to hesitate, attacks by old mountain dragons and fortress crabs are not uncommon, and people in Dongdoruma have even seen floating mountain dragons flying over the city.

"Is it the Old Mountain Dragon or the Cage Crab this time? There's no reliable information at all."

"As long as it's not the Floating Yue Dragon, it's fine. The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau probably hasn't figured it out yet, but I heard the movement they observed was quite significant."

"Alas, I hope the investigation doesn't turn directly into an encounter."

The hunter, who was obviously a novice, sighed at the crossbow.

It's not uncommon to encounter a monster and start a battle before you've fully investigated the monster.

Hunters can hardly expect the efficiency of the Ancient Dragon Observatory.

In addition to the poor performance of the Ancient Dragon Observatory itself, there are also limitations in the transmission of intelligence.

By the time the intelligence reaches every fortress, there is a chance that some of them have already encountered the enemy.

"Don't be afraid, you just need to control the weapons, it's very easy."

The experienced hunter wearing the armor of the old mountain dragon and holding a large explosive barrel passed by the novice crossbowman.

There are not many hunters in the whole of Dondoruma who dare to stand in front of the Old Mountain Dragon, but if they control the crossbow to attack the Old Mountain Dragon from a distance, the number of hunters in Dondoruma can far exceed the artillery positions in the city fortress.

……

In fact, the Ancient Dragon Observatory did not perform too badly this time. The belated scope captured the fleeting black dragon.

Why did it disappear in a flash? Because the black dragon quickly retreated behind the mountains and was out of the observation of the telescope.

Just as they were looking closely at that area, the huge four-winged bone fire dragon had already flown away from the blind spot of the scope.

The ancient dragon observation ship climbed to a higher altitude and approached the area. Beyond the mountains, only the broken earth could be seen.

Martial law cannot be ended for the time being.

……

The rest of the day passed and night fell over the Yan Mountains.

Ji Jie looked down at the land and saw torches connected into one piece on the city wall.

Gazing into the distance, the nearby fortresses were all under martial law. Was it because the fight between him and Lao Shanlong was so noisy?

Ji Jie did not have much concern about these fortresses under martial law. Instead, he chose to fly directly over them, proudly showing off his status as a male fire dragon.

Want to catch me? Just think about it!

It took him some time to find the place where he inserted the Dragon-Slaying Spear.

However, the Dragon-Slaying Spear, with only the handle exposed above the ground, has disappeared.

"No, where's my Dragon Spear!!!"

Ji Jie landed heavily from the air, his claws crushing the ground, wondering if he had lost his way and gone to the wrong place.

But the deep crater left by the Dragon-Slaying Spear would not deceive him.

The dragon-slaying spear that was torn off the Mineyama Maru and used to launch a special attack against Mineyama Ryu has disappeared.

And I have the impression that someone would steal the Dragon-Slaying Spear... Is there really a Giant Halberd Dragon active nearby?

Or perhaps, humans discovered his Dragon Slaying Spear and stole it? The Dragon Slaying Spear was also tied to the "Black Dragon Investigation Record."

Ji Jie began to look around, looking for clues of the thief.

No heavy oil was found, and no traces of horses were found, but there were still many clues.

He tugged at the tough golden "spider silk" and fell into deep thought.

300

Chapter 300 Napoleon.

There is another kind of monster that can collect the Dragon Spear.

It is more accurate to say that it is collecting various sturdy building materials as parts rather than collecting dragon-slaying spears.

This monster possesses an extremely high degree of intelligence. While being able to use various large metal objects, it can also use its own silk threads to combine the collected parts into a steel behemoth named "Xucheng", and use the silk threads to control it to move.

It's like driving a Gundam.

After wrapping the golden thread around his claws again and again, Ji Jie knew who had stolen the dragon-slaying spear he had buried.

The mantis is a beetle-like monster that is as powerful as an ancient dragon.

The old mountain dragon has burrowed underground and hasn't surfaced yet, so you can throw it aside for now. The primary goal is to take back your Dragon-Slaying Spear and the Predator Pavilion Mantis!

Ji Jie followed the golden thread and began to track the mantis.

The silk thread soon broke. As a light-bodied beetle-like monster, the mantis could hardly leave footprints when the tips of its limbs touched the ground, and the smell dissipated within a few days.

We didn't find any further traces of the mantis, but it was enough to know that there was a mantis active nearby!

The mantis will choose the best materials to build the ruins city, and no matter how good the natural building materials in the wild are, they cannot compare to the crystallization of human wisdom.

Abandoned buildings of human beings are the first choice for the Mantis to collect parts, so the traces of the Mantis' activities should be around those ruined cities.

Jijie flapped his wings and began to search for the broken fortress in the mountains.

There are many ruins in the mountains north of East Dorma, and they are of different ages, but the reasons for their destruction are mostly the same: they were trampled and destroyed after failing to stop the super-large monsters.

There is also a high probability that the ruins have been trampled more than once by multiple super-large monsters over the long years!

Because he was unsure of the mantis's speed and the day it would steal, he mainly searched in this area in a wandering manner, gradually expanding his search range towards the edge.

Until Ji Jie saw a piece of building material floating in the air, as if there was a bug in the world that was not generated properly.

He descended from the air to the ground, and while being entangled by the "spider silk", he also understood the principle of the building materials floating in the air.

silk.

The thin silk threads covered the entire broken fortress like a web. Ji Jie, who fell from the sky, was like an insect falling into a spider web, and his body was entangled by the silk threads everywhere.

Found the mantis!

Ji Jie began to struggle, trying to alert the person who had set up the net, but he didn't use enough strength to tear the net apart.

When he first came through, he was moving in the form of a spider. He knew very well that the threads of this kind of web would be in the hands of the weaver. The weaver could judge the strength of the prey caught in the web by touch out of sight.

The reason why the net was not pulled up immediately was that the mantis might escape.

Keep struggling, wait quietly, and sense the energy source nearby.

This perception made him stunned.

Amethyst-like compound eyes began to emerge from the ruins, and there were far more than one pair of such compound eyes.

"A lot of mantises."

These orchid mantis-like monsters vary in size, but most are golden, with only a small number being duller in color.

What he ran into was not a single queen who controlled the ruined city, but an entire mantis society!

Although he understood that the real strength of Mantis lies in the queen's wisdom, the appearance of swarms of powerful monsters that he had previously thought were "rare" still made him feel very disappointed.

Even if you catch a Mantis, can you really drive a Gundam like the Mantis Queen?

It’s no big deal, he can learn!

These mantises are just poking their heads out from hiding. There is only one real owner of this big net.

The largest and most golden mantis stepped on the silk thread and approached the fire dragon trapped in the net cautiously.

Ji Jie acted like a dragon ready to eat insects, and looked at the approaching Mantis Queen.

There is a crown with upward protruding spines on the back of the head. The golden color is mixed with some black lines, which is a very Egyptian style color scheme. The amethyst-like compound eyes are placed on the crown like treasures.

Its six pairs of limbs were all pulling the silk threads. As the distance got closer, one of the front claws opened and raised, revealing a deterrent posture.

On the raised belly and back of the mantis, there is a claw-like structure with a huge metal wheel stuck on it.

That’s right, it’s Napoleon’s Mantis Queen!

Ji Jie fell silent, waiting for the Mantis Queen to approach. It would take time for the Mantis Queen to break through his shell in order to prey on him, but he only needed to bite back to swallow the Queen, which would save him a lot of effort.

After all, the queen's size is only larger than other mantises, and she is still petite compared to the fire dragon. Her slender body seems unable to withstand bites.

The battle between lizards and mantises, the battle between dragon monsters and mantises.

But he also hoped that the mantis would not be killed by his bite.

The Mantis did not disappoint his expectations. It stopped moving forward after getting close to a certain distance, and retreated quickly as if it had sensed danger.

"Some kind of induction?"

Ji Jie murmured that many insects did have a special sense of danger.

Next, he saw the mantis wave its front claws, and the piece of building material that he first saw floating in the air flew towards him at a rapid speed.

It's like telekinesis.

But he could see golden threads flashing in the light.

It was a bit difficult to quickly break the silk threads on his body, but it was not difficult to dodge.

However, the building materials that were about to pass by him suddenly changed their force and still hit his body.

An ordinary fire dragon might be knocked to the ground directly, but Ji Jie flapped his wings and swatted the building materials away.

Silk thread, silk thread, and still silk thread.

The threads of the mantis are everywhere in this broken fortress.

Then.

"throat!"

The tornado was freed from the mouth of the Flame King Dragon and raged in the valley, tearing all the silk threads within sight.

Adding more fuel to the tornado, the threads torn by the storm were completely gone.

The surrounding mantises were so frightened that flames embedded themselves into the cracks in the ground, and the mantis queen let out an angry roar.

The huge metal wheel on its back was pulled by thick silk threads and smashed heavily towards the monster in the storm.

The giant wheel crushed the storm with its unexpected mass and power, knocking the Flame King Dragon out of the sky.

This made Ji Jie a little confused.

The metal wheel that fell to the ground was pulled by Mantis and swept towards his lower body.

This trick is easy to dodge, just jump rope.

Ji Jie reacted quickly and jumped up from the ground, passed through the remnants of the fire wave, wrapped his body in a layer of karma fire armor, and dived towards the Mantis Queen.
