Monster life starting from picking up materials

The captain, who was hiding in the distance and watching Yan Feilong cooking with a telescope for most of the day, had been lost in thought for most of the day.

428

Chapter 428: You won’t get heatstroke when the weather is cool.

not long ago……

The telescope cast the blond man's sight everywhere, and he missed the several "small flying dragons" flying in the sky. Sensing that something was wrong, he quickly moved the telescope back.

The commander adjusted the magnification of the telescope and captured those figures in the lens.

"That is???"

Two male fire dragons and one female fire dragon, and all of them are adult fire dragons.

Fire dragons... shouldn't come in groups like this.

Male fire dragons have a very strong sense of competition, and it is almost impossible for them to coexist peacefully, especially when there is a female fire dragon between them.

What really surprised him was the blue figure among the three fire dragons...

Yanfei Dragon, the female individual among the Yangyan Dragons.

His surprise was instantly divided into several parts, and he didn't even know which relevant knowledge he should think about first.

There are very few sightings of the Flame Dragon in the original continent. Even the vast majority of experienced elderly dragon scholars only have a superficial understanding of the Flame Dragon's appearance.

As an ancient dragon, the number of the Flame Queen Dragon is very small. It only moves in the depths of deserts and volcanoes where few people go. It does not patrol its territory as often as the Flame King Dragon and show its arrogant posture.

The Flame Dragons that were sighted by chance all showed extreme vigilance, with some even running away at the sight of humans, making it extremely difficult for the guild to analyze the Flame Dragon's ecology.

It's no wonder that when that "crazy-talking" down-and-out noble revealed the whereabouts of the Flame Queen Dragon, the guild directly mobilized a number of people, including the swordsmanship master, to carry out the task.

It's hard to imagine a large monster running away when it sees people, especially an ancient dragon that is a mobile scourge.

The sighting of the Flame Dragon itself was surprising, and what was more, this Flame Dragon was accompanied by three fire dragons.

The commander also thought of the footprints of the Flame King Dragon that were discovered before, but did not find the "Yangyan" phenomenon. It turned out that it was the activity of the Flame Queen Dragon.

But is she hunting?

This was the first possibility that the Grand Commander thought of, but the idea was instantly refuted by the facts.

Although the Flame Queen Dragon is behind the Fire Dragon, it is not in a hunting posture.

The Grand Commander felt that his thinking ability had become somewhat rigid, and he could only adjust his position to make himself more concealed and able to observe more of this strange scene.

Nana followed the fire dragons and looked down from the air. The whole picture of the cactus field was taken in her eyes, naturally including the ceratosaurus in the cactus field.

She had attempted to hunt the horned dragon not long ago, but had failed humiliatingly.

The ceratopsian that can guard a group of cacti of this size is no ordinary creature. It is an individual that stands out from many ceratopsians and is very strong.

She could easily defeat the opponent, but it was difficult for a single dragon to overwhelm the opponent and prey on it. If she could guarantee a 100% hunting success rate, then the ceratops would have been eaten to extinction if there was only one ceratops left.

She could chase her prey whether it was running on the ground or flying in the air, but she couldn't catch a ceratosaurus if it burrowed into the ground.

Sit back and wait, then go hungry for a day.

Nana missed the time when Ji Jie was around, when the couple had a 100% hunting success rate with their tacit understanding.

Unfortunately, he disappeared again.

They migrated together from the Dragon Crystal Land back to the Great Anthill Wasteland, and half of the distance was on foot. This long period of time together has made Nana's emotions quite stable until now.

Nana had no choice but to call the fire dragons as a second choice. She and the fire dragons developed feelings for each other as they got along, and no longer disliked them as much as they did when they first started hunting together.

So this scene happened.

The Ceratopsus returned to the cactus land and was taking a nap. He still had scars on his body from fighting with the Flame Queen Dragon and competing for territory with his fellow tribesmen.

The fire dragons dispersed tacitly, cooperating with Nana to form a blockade around them, and then dropped the circle from the air little by little.

Nana hovered in the air without rushing to enter the arena. Instead, she watched the fire dragons restrain the ceratosaurus and consume its energy.

It was getting dark, and the Ceratopsus's eyesight was poor. The sound of multiple fire dragons flapping their wings masked the sound of the Flame Dragon circling in the air, giving the Ceratopsus the illusion that it was not yet time to run away.

The heavy tail hammer swung, causing a heavy blow every time it landed on the fire dragon.

But there are three fire dragons, and they never stop kicking, trampling, swinging their tails and throwing fireballs. With a kick of their powerful thighs, the fire dragons can fly into the air and easily dissolve the horned dragon's strongest killing move.

Before the heavy armor is broken by the fire dragon, the impact force always penetrates the shell first, draining the horned dragon's physical strength.

When it realized something was wrong and wanted to dive underground, the Flame Queen Dragon fell from the sky on the flames of the explosion and interrupted the Triceratops' dive with a long-accumulated attack.

The horned dragon fell to the ground from the pit it had just dug. Its violent struggle was able to repel the monsters that tried to crush it, but it could not stop the three fire dragons' constant alternating attacks.

"It can't get up."

The captain looked at the struggling horned dragon and felt that his thinking ability was struggling along with the horned dragon. He was about to be killed by the joint hunting ability displayed by the fire dragon and the flame queen dragon.

Even the drunk and boastful hunter in the tavern could not describe such a scene, and even the most knowledgeable dragon people would be shocked to the point of dropping their eyes!

If he brought back such news to the base, his deputy would probably knock him out and then have medical personnel check whether he was crazy or not!

He even hoped that the Flame Queen Dragon could release Yang Yan, so that he could still doubt whether what he saw was an illusion caused by heatstroke in the wasteland.

The blond man shuddered, realizing that the temperature was dropping as the sky darkened.

After spending a lot of brain cells to express his surprise, the commander-in-chief finally calmed down and thought about what to do next.

What else can we do? We should continue to observe. A careful, detailed and well-organized investigation report can convince the commander that he is not crazy.

He silently observed the interactions between the Flame Queen Dragon and the fire dragons. The two sides did not fight over food. The female fire dragon sniffed the horned dragon and flapped its wings and flew away.

Why is that?

The remaining monsters seemed to be quite... restrained in their eating, only eating a very limited portion, and more like they were peeling off the horned dinosaur's shell, as if they were processing food.

The female fire dragon flew back not long after, holding a round object in its mouth.

The captain looked at the round object quietly. He had seen a similar object not long ago. It was a pot used by ancient dragon people and tooth beasts. They had left behind good memories of getting along with each other.

The ancient dragon people and fang beasts were attacked by this group of monsters?

He frowned and quickly rejected the idea.

The pot held by the female fire dragon is similar in texture to the pot used by the fang beast, but it is a circle larger, so it is obviously not the same one.

The Grand Master thought he wouldn't be surprised anymore until he saw what happened next—

Flame Queen Dragon bit off pieces of flesh from the Horned Dragon and threw them into the pot...

429

Chapter 429 This pot is big, black, and has the luster of swallow steel.

The commander-in-chief silently looked at the smoke slowly drifting into the sky, put down the telescope and rubbed his chin.

He had recovered, but he was thinking of many more serious things.

Can Gu Long communicate?

Whether hunters or scholars, every encounter with an ancient dragon must be reported to the guild while ensuring their own safety.

Private investigation, exploration, and contact with Gu Long are all violations.

Of course, these regulations are not valid for the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team. They came here with approval to investigate the ancient dragon ecology. He himself is the highest person in charge of the guild in the New World and has a series of executive powers.

However, the above regulations are not intended to emphasize the prestige of the guild, but for the benefit of everyone.

No matter what kind of contact there is, human life span is too short compared to the long life of ancient dragons. Humans cannot make any promises to ancient dragons, nor can they accept any promises from ancient dragons.

A powerful hunter might be able to survive the progress of the Scourge, but fragile ordinary people cannot even resist a volley of sharp stones inadvertently brought up by the edge of the storm.

For grassroots hunters and the public, the guild must make them fear natural disasters and understand the dangers of ancient dragons so that they can protect themselves in a timely manner.

But for the elites among humans, the guild chose to inspire their courage, try to repel the ancient dragon within a controllable range, and let the natural disasters avoid the core areas of humanity that they should not touch.

Either they fear the ancient dragons and avoid the natural disasters, or they make the ancient dragons fear them and avoid them. This is how the guild and the ancient dragons get along, using fear as the main method to ensure their own safety.

Grassroots hunters and civilians are like immature young animals, while the elites among humans are adults who can protect the young animals and compete with monsters for territory.

This is the optimal solution chosen by humans as a short-lived species, and it is also the optimal solution made by the civilized world established by the kingdom and the guild.

But besides the short-lived species, there are also long-lived dragon people, and outside the original continent where the kingdom and the guild are located, there is a new continent.

The dragon people of the New World, now known as the ancient dragon people, are individuals outside the two regulations of "short-lived species" and "human civilization world".

If we infer this way, we may be able to conclude that ancient dragon people and ancient dragons existed/had another, even completely opposite way of getting along with each other.

Although it was just a rough guess, the captain who came to the conclusion immediately relaxed about the highly anthropomorphic behavior of the Flame Queen Dragon.

Combined with the recent contact with ancient dragon people and fang beasts——

It must be the fault of the ancient dragon people, the ancient dragon people taught it!

Ancient dragon people and ancient dragons must have had special contacts and connections!

After all, the ancient dragon people were too mysterious. Most of the time, they were elusive and unilaterally observing the investigation team.

He remembered that once, the investigation team picked up a tree cocoon where the ancient dragon people stored their belongings, among which there were many mysterious and precious objects.

Just when he was hesitating whether to take it away, the ancient dragon man appeared on the treetop, seemingly looking for the fallen cocoon. However, after discovering that the cocoon was picked up by the investigation team, he did not show any attitude of asking for it back, as if he tacitly agreed that "whoever picks it up owns it" and did not care about his belongings at all.

Although the investigation team believed that the items were too precious and did not bring them with them, they conducted subsequent behavioral analysis with the dragon scholars.

They believe that for the ancient dragon people, when the cocoons fell from the trees, it meant that the items had changed from being owned to being "wild". The ancient dragon people may not have the idea of "possession", and the things they collected were just "borrowed" from nature.

The Grand Commander silently sorted out all the information about the ancient dragon people in his mind.

He was not afraid of having wild thoughts or rushing in the wrong direction, but he was afraid that no ideas or explanations would be born in his head, which was like walking in darkness without any light source.

Moreover, by being rational and writing such a well-founded guess into a report, he would not have to worry about his deputies wanting to knock him out to check if he was crazy.

After expanding his worldview based on his own understanding, he became more calm when observing the facial expressions and body language details of Yan Feilong's behavior, and it didn't seem so difficult to accept.

What a delicious meaty smell.

The smell of broth was carried by the evening breeze, which meant that he was in a safe downwind position and could observe with confidence. He took a few steps forward and advanced to the back of a huge rock pillar.

But even if he guessed another way of contact, he had no intention of trying it.

He is a short-lived human being, and also a member of the civilized world, even if he is in the wilderness of the New World.

But the meat smells really good!

The captain rummaged through his pockets, took out the last piece of roasted pork and began to chew on it.

After running around in the wild for so long, the last pot of roasted meat also had a slight odor, but it was still very fragrant.

The Grand Commander relaxed after spending most of the day in contemplation, but the mountain cat on the other side couldn't be so open-minded.

He looked at the scene of Yan Fei Long Braised Pork Soup in front of him with some confusion and trance.

That should be an automatic fire-blowing stove in the shape of a Flame Dragon, right?

Suddenly, he was curious about what the food in the pot tasted like.

The mountain cat's confused and dazed eyes suddenly became sharp, and it sniffed its nose to smell the aroma wafting from the pot.

No... they seem to be in the upper hand?!

He bent down slightly to hide himself, so fortunately the Flame Queen Dragon and the Fire Dragon beside him who were cooking soup did not notice his scent.

Perhaps the aroma of the soup will fill their nostrils, making them ignore other smells.

The mountain cat thought for a moment, put down the bag on his body, kept a safe distance and went around to the side, intending to observe in a downwind place.

Ji Jie blinked at the mountain cat's movements, glanced at the virtuous Nana who was making soup, and continued to follow him.

It’s better not to disappear at this time, so as not to cause trouble and have to clean it up yourself.

The bobcat was moving quite fast, its sight constantly moving forward and to the sides, and finally it locked onto a rock pillar below, choosing that observation position at a glance.

Just as he was advancing steadily, a head with messy blond hair and an unstable look popped out from the side of the rock pillar.

What would it be like to see a human head suddenly grow out of a rock pillar in the uninhabited wilderness?

"Meow!!!"

Bobcat didn't know it before, but now he really jumped up, and sharp Elu curses exploded from his mouth.

The sudden noise in the night attracted the attention of Dragonite and the fire dragons, but because of the layers of cacti, they did not see the figure of Felyne.
