Monster life starting from picking up materials

"Come to my place, meow!"

While the Flame Dragon's attention was completely attracted by its companion, the mountain cat came around from the side and approached, calling out to the Smoke Weasel as it ran towards them.

Ji Jie took a step and ran towards the mountain cat. He turned his head slightly to look in the direction of Nana, only to see her swooping down the cliff and chasing after the commander.

Before he could run a few steps, he was picked up by the rushing mountain cat and flew in the opposite direction.

"The Smoky Snow Weasel rescue plan was a great success, meow!"

The bobcat ran wildly, and its body relaxed slightly, feeling the hair on its chest wet by the smoke weasel in its arms.

So, was the Smoke Snow Weasel being licked by the Flame Queen Dragon just now?

Ji Jie poked his head out from Elucat's arms, and probably guessed what the Grand Commander and Mountain Cat were planning when they looked at each other. He was moved and helpless, so he simply cooperated with their plan and stayed in Mountain Cat's arms.

He actually believed in the Grand Commander's confidence in his ability to escape.

The captain on the other side was on the run, frequently looking back to pay attention to the distance between himself and Yan Feilong. At the same time, he also did not forget to pay attention to the road conditions ahead and constantly adjusted his escape route.

He had been wandering in the wasteland for a long time and was quite familiar with the surrounding situation.

There are currently two escape routes, one to the swamp and the other to the forest. The two routes are not straightforward forks, and there are undulating terrain and rock pillar barriers in between, so the direction must be decided in advance.

The swamp's muddy surface will slow down your escape, and the relative openness and lack of hiding space will make it difficult to escape.

It is difficult for large monsters to move in the forest, so small and medium-sized creatures have the advantage of hiding.

It might seem like the forest is a better place for hunters to hide, but the Grand Master knew from the start that there was only one direction he could go.

The Flame Queen Dragon is not an ordinary large monster. If the desire to chase is strong enough, she can burn down the forest with just one fire.

He didn't want to compare his escape speed with the spreading speed of the Yangyan Dragon Fire.

On the contrary, the long-accumulated swamp would help him escape from the Flame Queen Dragon.

Who says that only orcs would dig holes and run away in times of crisis?

Humans can do it too!

Chapter 432 Brainstorming.

Two legs naturally cannot outrun four legs, and the leader did not run in a straight line. Instead, he dodged obstacles left and right, relying on the human body advantage to advance in the maneuvering.

The peeling knife behind his waist was also pulled out, and he kept making marks on the rocks along the way to make it easier for his teammates to find him.

The yellow color of the wasteland gravel faded ahead, and the swamp could already be seen.

The hot wind blowing from behind was getting hotter and hotter, and the sweat on the exposed skin was sublimating due to the rising temperature and escaping from the body surface.

The Flame Queen Dragon obviously noticed his intention to escape into the swamp, so it sped up, closing the distance between them, and the converging temperature began to spread.

As we approached the swamp, the surrounding terrain gradually became more open and there were fewer obstacles to maneuver.

But because the environment is becoming moister, useful plants and animals begin to appear around.

“Slurp—”

The thunderworm lying on the rock wall was grabbed by the running leader, who twisted it off with a flick of his fingers and slammed its head into his mouth.

The juice with a strong sour taste burst in his mouth. The strong stimulation paralyzed the fatigue of his body and revived his declining speed.

He leaped forward and rolled over, the scorching hot wind only brushed across his back, and the burning sensation was quickly suppressed by the moist soil.

He rolled and crawled towards the depths of the swamp. He saw from the corner of his eye that when approaching the swamp, which was an area difficult to move in, the Flame Queen Dragon slowed down its running speed, but still stepped into the swamp.

The humid air began to become gradually dry, and the mud stepped on by the Flame Queen Dragon turned into a dry and solid state.

The captain imagined these details, his eyes scanning around, and caught a glimpse of a spherical object lying in the shallow water plants.

He suddenly stopped and turned around, lifted up his ankles that were stuck in the mud, and kicked the spherical object hard!

That's a paralysis gas frog.

The gas frog's dynamic vision was able to react, and its clumsy body filled with gas followed the captain's foot movement, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

Boiling gas gushed out of its mouth, painting a pale yellow hue in the air along this arc.

"Clap~"

The Gas Frog was caught on the face of the pursuing Flame Queen Dragon, fell into the swamp, and disappeared into the mud.

The boiling paralyzing gas entered her body with her breath, and the pursuit slowed down significantly.

The captain, who had successfully created some distance, looked back and dived into the water, as if his body was sinking in the swamp. As if that was not enough, he tore through the mud with his strong arms and advanced further downwards.

When Nana broke free from paralysis and arrived at the place where the commander disappeared, she could only see the mud that had been stirred up gradually sinking.

She didn't linger around for too long. Perhaps staying here would change the environment of the swamp, but she didn't have time to endure the swamp's rejection of her.

As the temperature rose, moisture was transferred from the water to the air. Large monsters could easily sink in the swamp due to their own weight. The unsteady ground and the feeling of her feet sinking into the mud made Nana feel uncomfortable.

More importantly, her husband never came after her!

She thought he would come after her!

Nana finally realized what was going on and flapped her wings. She no longer stayed in the swamp and flew back in the direction she came from. She looked down from above and kept scanning, but she couldn't find the familiar figure as before.

The mountain cat hiding under a protruding rock formation poked its head out, saw the Flame Dragon flying in the air, and suddenly retracted its head.

The Flame Dragon returned to the place where the "Smoke Snow Weasel Rescue Plan" was established and began to sniff around.

"Boss, you've obviously managed to get rid of the Flame Queen Dragon, meow. Is she back looking for you? We need to stay away from her, meow."

The mountain cat wiped its erect fur, held the smoke weasel and continued to chase in the direction of the commander's retreat.

After confirming that the Flame Queen Dragon had been lured away, they turned back and planned to meet up with the Grand Commander.

"Huh!"

Not long after Yan Feilong left, a muddy head poked out of the mud. It pulled out a hand to wipe the mud off its face, looked around, and after confirming that it was safe, it pulled its entire body out.

The Grand Commander returned to the shallow surface of the swamp, combed the mud off his body with his fingers, and walked towards the edge of the swamp.

The activities of the Flame Queen Dragon caused a burn mark to appear in the swamp. The water in the upper layer of the swamp became shallower, and the mud in the lower layer became firmer.

He lowered his body and placed his palm into the mud print left by the Flame Queen Dragon's footprint.

One can clearly feel that the hardened mud is becoming soft and moist again, as if the swamp is healing itself.

The Grand Commander found a schist step at the edge of the swamp, sat down, and began to polish his boots, while keeping an eye on the situation on both sides. He believed that his companions would find a way to meet up with him.

While wiping his boots, he couldn't help but recall the soft touch of the gas frog's kick. When he looked for the gas frog in the water plants in the swamp, he thought of the Spinosaurus that preyed on the gas frog.

He wanted to find an unknown ancient dragon but saw a Spinosaurus instead, so he started tracking the Spinosaurus. However, he didn't find the Spinosaurus, but instead witnessed a Flame Dragon and several Fire Dragons hunting together, and even using a Ceratopsian to make soup.

He touched his waist and found the container of horned dragon broth still hanging there. There was a piece of cloth stuffed under the cork, and it was not mixed with mud or water. It was still drinkable after opening it.

Although a lot of sediment can be seen after it cools down, the taste and nutrition are still great, and it can relieve the fatigue and soreness all over his body after he relaxes.

While drinking the Ceratopsian soup, he recalled this eventful experience. It seemed that the twists and turns all started when he wanted to track down the Spinosaurus.

And he still doesn't understand why Spinosaurus left the forest and went to the east where resources were more scarce.

Maybe the fang beast monster misunderstood what he meant?

Could it be that the Spinosaurus he drew looks very similar to the Flame Dragon?

As he thought about this, the Grand Commander picked up a long stone and copied the picture he had drawn on the rock.

"This is Spinosaurus."

Looking at the outline he had drawn, he murmured confidently but confusedly, always feeling that he had overlooked something.

If it wasn't a mistake for the Flame Queen Dragon, then could it be a mistake for the fire dragon beside the Flame Queen Dragon?

After all, that was the perception of a tusked beast. There might not be much difference between the Spinosaurus and the Rathalos, both of which are two-legged flying dragons.

"Spinosaurus, Fire Dragon..."

The Grand Commander repeated these two words over and over again, feeling that there seemed to be a connection between them in his memory.

"correct!"

The two words seemed to be fighting for territory in his mind, emitting fierce sparks.

He recalled an afternoon more than ten years ago when a young fire dragon from the sky swooped down towards the Spinosaurus. There was no fierce flame between the two, only warmth like the afternoon sun.

But humans are really face-blind when it comes to identifying monsters, and he couldn't confirm whether one of the two male Rathalos was related to the Spinosaurus.

However, it is theoretically not difficult to confirm this. We only need to observe that group of dragons witnessed the appearance of Spinosaurus, and if the two sides have a friendly relationship, we can basically confirm that they are connected.

And assuming that they are connected, and that the Flame Queen Dragon among that group of dragons is connected to the ancient dragon people, the Tooth Beast may not have misunderstood what he meant.

It may simply think that if it finds the group of Flame Dragon, it will be able to see the Spinosaurus.

If this is true, then some monsters in the New World may have formed an incredible power group.

The ancient dragons may have a special status in this power group.

The Grand Commander felt a little crazy, but he couldn't help but continue thinking, thinking about everything that had happened in this turbulent experience, looking for clues of connection.

And there's Smoky Snow Weasel!

According to the chef's description, the Smoke Snow Weasel has an ancient dragon friend who makes food for it to taste and brings it back to the base.

That smoke weasel...

The captain remembered the speculation about "some mystery" put forward by the dragon people of the second phase, but also thought of its miserable appearance being held under the claws of the Flame Queen Dragon.

Perhaps as a small creature, the smoke weasel is not taken seriously by the large monsters and is not considered a member of the power group?

After all, he couldn't understand what monsters were thinking. Obviously, the cognition of things like emotions couldn't be generalized, but even in human society, things like your friends are not my friends were common.

And in the previous situation, the Smoke Weasel might have been injured?

Thinking of this, the captain sorted out the herbs on his body, thought about it and decided to pick some fresh ones.

The "certain mystery" mentioned by the dragon people is quite broad. The incomprehensible ancient dragon is actually just "certain mystery". Simply put, it means "I don't know".

These "mysteries" will also get hurt and bleed.

The Smoke Weasel has tracking abilities, and its help will be needed in finding the Spinosaurus next time. However, the last time it was asked to track the Spinosaurus was not a good experience, but it will learn from its mistakes this time.

The Grand Commander stood up, marked the meeting point in a circle, and began to look for herbs nearby.

When he returned with the fresh herbs, he saw, as expected, his companions already waiting for him at the meeting point, with the Smoke Weasel standing beside them with its tail coiled.

"To escape from the claws of the Flame Queen Dragon, you need to carefully check for injuries, especially burns."

After explaining why he wasn't at the meeting point, he squatted down and moved closer to the Smoke Weasel, looking at it closely, wanting to pick it up and take a closer look.

As expected, it was rejected.

The Smoke Weasel never likes to have its body moved, and is particularly averse to the action of having its fur flipped over.

"He seems to be very energetic and full of vitality."

Listening to the captain speak, Ji Jie raised his head and looked at his thoughtful eyes, slightly stunned.

That look seemed to be a sympathy that no longer mattered, as if she understood everything and felt regret for him.

Bastard?! What on earth did you understand?

Ji Jie couldn't help but widen his eyes, but the captain had already stood up, his face facing away from the sun, his golden hair was a little dirty, and there was a shadow on his face as if he understood everything.

Exposed myself???

He felt like something was wrong. What the hell was this expression that seemed to understand everything better than he did?!

Could it be that Nana spoke in human language?

This time it was Ji Jie's turn to brainstorm. He was so confused for a moment that the captain squatted down again to check on him.

Ji Jie had no choice but to pretend that everything was normal and he recovered from his brainstorming.

There must be some kind of wrong thinking result!

It seems that the next step is not to simply complete the mission. After returning to the forest to retrieve the things, he escaped in one blow. I have to follow the commander to investigate what he discovered.

However, does the Grand Commander really intend to return to the base?

This discovery should make him excited to continue investigating, right?

Soon, the leader’s next plan came out.
