Monster life starting from picking up materials

Then, Xucheng stepped over the old mountain dragon that was filled in the pit.

Ji Jie, who transformed into a mantis, took a look at Lao Shanlong's vital signs in the middle of the transformation. He was relieved only after he was sure that Xu Cheng could not kill Lao Shanlong.

He drove away from the ruins of the city, leaving only the old mountain dragon to slowly wake up, look around in a daze, and dive into the ground with a feeling of having survived a disaster.

"Huh? You actually caught up with me?"

After walking for a while, Ji Jie stopped and left the ruins, jumped into a corner, and looked at the monster in front of him.

"Hululu."

The Thunder Wolf Dragon that had been chasing the ruined city growled, its lips bared and its fangs exposed.

Ji Jie recalled this. After he broke free from the restraints and escaped, the Thunder Wolf Dragon seemed to have bumped into the moving Old Mountain Dragon. It was chased back and bumped into the moving Ruins City again. It even pounced directly on the Ruins City and stepped over it.

He also had a fight with the hunters who were trying to reach the ruins of the city from behind, but they were quickly repelled.

Looking at the weapon scars on the Thunder Wolf Dragon's claws, Ji Jie nodded in understanding.

After repelling the enemy, they followed the ruins city? Because it was safe behind the ruins city?

Both the Laoshan Dragon and the Giant Triceratops must have caused indelible fear to the little Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Seeing that the mantis was staring at him motionlessly without any reaction, the Thunder Wolf Dragon's momentum weakened, and he scrambled to the side with his claws.

"Hey~ If you want to follow, just follow me——"

When he saw the Thunder Wolf Dragon running away, Ji Jie realized that he had been staring at it for too long. He could only wave at its fleeing back and make a series of insect sounds.

Chapter 319 Roasting a whole pig.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon eventually caught up, and the hunters followed two days later.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon and the Hunter were both hanging behind the ruins city, so they would naturally run into each other, and it even triggered a dispute over territory, as if they wanted to use this to decide who could follow behind the ruins city.

Ji Jie used energy perception to pay attention to the situation behind him. He didn't mind the Thunder Wolf Dragon following him, nor did he mind the hunters following him, but if there was a conflict between the two sides, he would definitely want the Thunder Wolf Dragon to follow him.

But there is no doubt that Thunder Wolf Dragon will lose.

He understood the hunters' principles of action after eavesdropping in the Grand Elder's Palace. They would most likely not kill the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but would either repel it or capture it.

But he decided to intervene anyway.

"Xucheng has stopped."

The distant ruins city stopped, and the hunters also paid more attention to the movements of the ruins city.

"Well, Hubble, stop playing around and repel the Thunder Wolf Dragon quickly."

Campbell glanced at the big swordsman who was bumping his shoulder to tease the dog and urged him on.

"Okay, okay. I want to see how many times it can snap."

The greatsword man changed his offensive and no longer used the greatsword to defend against the shoulder charge and continuous punches of the Thunder Wolf Dragon. He pushed the greatsword and turned his body to pass over the Thunder Wolf Dragon's falling claws, and came to its side and swung the greatsword horizontally.

Leap forward and slash!

The greatsword was tilted and the force was restrained to prevent the blow from directly cutting into the side of the Thunder Wolf Dragon and causing irreparable injuries.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon, who was hit in the side, staggered and dodged with a side jump, allowing the greatsword man to move away from his blind spot.

"The mantis is coming!"

The female archer saw the eye-catching golden figure and clenched her arrow to remind her teammates.

"Why? Retreat!"

The four-man team dropped the smoke ball without hesitation and evacuated towards the escape route prepared for the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

"Can you run so smoothly?"

Rubbing his arms, Ji Jie glanced at the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but this time he didn't stare at it for long. After just one glance, he returned to the ruins of the city.

"He didn't pursue."

The hunter at the rear spoke from the silence.

"It's all Hubble's fault. They can't be more efficient. Now we have to increase the observation distance."

The female archer sighed helplessly.

"Hmm? Aren't you curious about how many times the Thunder Wolf Dragon can clap? It can't clap forever!"

The big swordsman's eyes widened. He looked at the swordsman, then at the double-swordsman, and finally at the female archer with his eyes wide open.

"Well, I'm curious too."

The female archer's eyes shifted. After so many days, everyone had become familiar with each other. If it was someone she was not familiar with, she would not say anything.

"It's okay. Maybe the mantis is hungry and is hunting the Thunder Wolf Dragon. If the Thunder Wolf Dragon is still alive, it will be an additional piece of information."

Campbell updated the current situation in the notebook.

"In that case, it's indeed my fault. I should have used all my strength to repel the Thunder Wolf Dragon from the beginning to prevent it from falling into the mantis's mouth."

The greatsword man sighed and shook his head, his tone filled with apology towards the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

He stood up and leaned to the outside, looking at his companions and asking.

"Well, let's go and take another look."

Cambe stood up and ended his short rest.

They saw that the ruined city had resumed its movement, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon's footprints were not stained with blood and continued to extend.

"It seems that the Thunder Wolf Dragon survived."

The atmosphere in the team relaxed a little.

There are three stages of hunter love: the love when hearing about monsters, the fear when facing monsters, and the love that recovers after defeating monsters.

Ye Gong loved dragons, but if he could flatten a real dragon and mount it on the wall, he would probably continue to love it for the rest of his life.

As he walked, Campbell spread out the map and identified their location, his movements slightly tense.

"Bad news! On the left side of the mountain road ahead, there is an exit leading to the south of the mountains, which is blocked by a town and a fortress."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces not looking good.

"We'll leave most of our supplies to you. You stay here and continue observing Xianxu City. Hubble and I will reach the exit of the mountain path before Ge Mantis and keep watch."

Campbell's gaze left the swordsman and looked at the female archer.

"And Lena, you go to the town to inform them of the situation. If we find that the ruined city is heading that way, we will send out a signal flare."

"I'm OK."

Although nothing was said, everyone knew what to do next.

The hunter team then began to act separately, while Ji Jie continued to control the progress of the ruins city.

I just suddenly looked around and found that the only hunter following Xucheng was the swordsman. Did they disperse because they had other tasks to do?

Ji Jie shook his head, thinking of the scene he saw when he flew into the sky early yesterday morning.

There is a gap in the mountains ahead to the right. If you turn right and walk a little further, you will find a decent-sized relic!

Xucheng sped up its movement and successfully reached the ruins before nightfall, continuing its improvement plan.

Tired of improvement, he went into the nearby mountains and forests to look for food and caught a frightened wild boar running around.

"Ouch~~"

After walking out of the forest, Ji Jie heard the howling of the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Turning back, he saw the Thunder Wolf Dragon's shining eyes in the depths of the forest, with a bloody wild boar in its mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The mouthparts collided with each other and barely made a sound to tease the dog, but then there was a "whoosh" sound with a hint of electricity.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon disappeared again.

He didn't chase it, but just hollowed out the wild boar's stomach and took it back to the tail of Xucheng.

I found a grill in the cockpit, skewered the whole wild boar, and planned to try roasting the whole pig.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon found a safe corner and bit the blood food, but the smell of meat drifted into its nose.

"Hmph, hum!"

After sniffing twice more, the taste of blood in my mouth seemed to be a little lighter and not as delicious. The wild boar meat had bones stuck in it, and it seemed not to be crispy enough when chewed.

And...it's not very salty.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon licked his lips and gathered some blood foam back into his mouth.

"Hululu~"

It held the blood in its mouth and approached the big monster cautiously, peering under its tail. The firelight reflected in its pupils flickered.

Even so, it still did not come closer, silently chewing the blood food in its mouth.

Can’t beat it, can’t steal it.

The fire still kept a distance, but the monster beside the fire was getting closer.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon raised its body vigilantly, baring its teeth to protect its food. The Thunder Wolf Dragon never gives in!

Ji Jie tore off a leg from the sizzling whole pig, put it on the ground, and returned to Xucheng's tail. While biting with his mouthparts, he stared at the Thunder Wolf Dragon with his eyes.

When he saw it couldn't resist the temptation and pounced on the piece of meat, jumped back after biting it, and swallowed it eagerly, he felt that the whole pig in his mouth had reached its most delicious moment.

“It’s a bit too salty.”

The swordsman guarded the supplies and took a bite of the portable food.

320

Chapter 320 is an interlude.

The search for materials in the ruins cannot just stay on the surface, but also has to be dug deeper. In addition to steel, Ji Jie also found half of a rotten dragon-slaying spear.

After scraping off the rust, the dragon-slaying spear was inserted into the structural skeleton of the ruined city, contributing to its support.

The ruined city, which has been getting better and better, also began to move forward.

How long will the journey to the ruins last?

Perhaps before saying goodbye to Xucheng, he will park Xucheng at the foot of a mountain where he can see the sea, thus fulfilling his dream of "owning a house with a sea view".

Watching the ruined city restart and continue to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the southern fortress, the swordsman took out two flares and a small gun from his body.

One red and one green, the green flares were inserted into the muzzle of the gun and flew into the sky after the trigger was pulled.

Bright green spots of light bloomed, and the greatsword man who was guarding the pass of the mountain road pushed the chief hunter beside him.

Campbell woke up with a start and saw the green light slowly dissipating in the sky.

"Boss, the ruined city isn't heading this way. Should we send a signal flare to notify the Fortress?"

The big swordsman stroked his chin and asked the captain what he meant.

"Let me look at the map."

Campbell used a telescope to determine the direction, opened the map, and extended his finger in that direction, finally stopping at a ruin.

Unlike the Laoshan dragon's wandering migration for unknown reasons, the movement of the Ge Mantis is full of purpose for man-made buildings.

The first thing they saw was the town they were to protect, and they thought it would be attractive to Ge Mantis, but the current developments seemed to have misunderstood Ge Mantis.

The gains it made from demolishing the in-service fortress were visible to the naked eye, yet it still chose to drive the ruined city into ruins... This didn't seem like a monster with a certain degree of intelligence or ignorance.

Incidents of carnivorous monsters attacking travelers barbecuing have occurred since ancient times. Monsters really cannot distinguish between one meal being full and another, and may even develop a path dependence on attacking travelers.

"The battle at the Fortress felt like the encounter between a river and a well. Either the river overran the well, or the well trapped the river."

Cambey blinked and began to write it down in his notebook.

"And now, after that battle, the well water and the river water seem to have returned to their original state of not offending each other."

"Nature's balance?"

"The balance described by the dragon scholars is too complicated. I prefer the words of the Fortress Guards—"
