Chapter 472 Lanlong?

New World, Ancient Tree Forest.

The storm brought the rich air currents of the Coral Plateau and the moist dark clouds of the Coral Plateau across the Grand Canyon and landed in the north of the Ancient Tree Forest.

The rain came down in torrents, and the howling wind uprooted the trees and threw them high into the air.

The monsters fled in all directions, their territories colliding with each other in the chaos, causing their bodies to collide with each other.

The storm that reached the forest did not stop, as if there was a more terrifying monster behind it driving it away.

The dark figure in the storm looked ahead, his sight drawn to the most conspicuous landmark in the forest.

At this time, the ancient tree forest is in the early stage of the fire dragon breeding season. The fire dragons have gathered around the ancient trees according to their traditional instincts, venting their vigorous energy on each other, competing for the position of the dome and more mating qualifications.

But the heavy downpour gave the fire dragons a chill, forcing them to scatter along the storm's path, away from the ancient tree.

Without mutual elimination among the groups, these fire dragons, which were still quite energetic, began to attack other species in the forest.

The monster rampage began, spreading as the storm spread, from the ancient trees in the forest's core to the coastal areas.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

The stronghold sounded the alarm, and flares flashed in the air. The hunters covered the craftsmen and retreated to the summit of the Twin Peaks and the residential area on the sea.

The main body of the survey team has focused on infrastructure construction over the past seven years, but the steep twin peaks and the sea surface are still too narrow for operations. Operations including dismantling ships require open land support.

So they expanded their base to the open space around the Twin Peaks, built a towering wooden fence, and mixed a smell that disgusted monsters to block the predators active along the coast.

When they discovered that something was wrong with the weather in the distance, the investigation team immediately gathered all the personnel inside the fence, but the heavy rain suppressed the disgusting smell of the monsters, and the rioting Brute Jaws destroyed the fence.

The dense dark clouds and heavy rain made the sky dim and made the hunters' movements a little heavy.

"Block it!"

"Be careful, it breathes fire!"

"Roar!!!"

With the roar of the beast dragon and steam rising from its red skin, the breath directly enveloped a hunter who was unable to dodge.

Thankfully, the unpleasant rain was also affecting the Tyrannosaurus.

The flames were short-lived in the dampness, and could not even burn the hunter's armor red. The heat was completely converted into steam in the rain.

The rescue companions also came closer and confirmed that the hunter was fine.

But the violence of the beast dragon species was not dragged into the quagmire of rain, and the terrifying beast mouth was still intimidating.

An iron rod half as thick as a man hit the knee joint of the Savage Jaws. The modification master pulled the trigger, but the muzzle of the gun failed to spray out hot flames.

"The situation was urgent and I couldn't load good ammunition."

The modification master murmured regretfully, ordinary gunpowder would hardly avoid moisture in such an environment, and only when mixed with exothermic minerals such as burning coal could it fire normally.

But this precise blow still forced the Tyrannosaurus to stagger, and it raised its claws and kicked the hunter who had just lifted the counterweight, sending him crashing to the ground.

At the same moment when the thug general stood on one leg, another figure slid under the body of the Savage Jaws. The golden silk thread cut through the raindrops and pierced the thick iron branch into the tendons on the inside of its thigh.

The Savage Jaws lost its balance in pain, staggered and fell to the ground. It limped to its feet, bent its head and looked at its crotch. Its injured thigh kept kicking, trying to expel the huge arrow that had penetrated its body.

The lowered head gave the hunter who was waiting for an opportunity a good opportunity. The sharp serrated sword tore the skin and scales, and the hot blood of the fire dragon rose from the blade, steam rising.

The large sword, which was longer than a human, tore directly from the face of the Barbarian Jaw to the intact thigh it used to stand on. The blade changed from pulling to stabbing, cutting off a large piece of flesh and skin upwards.

The Savage Jaws had no choice but to stop kicking its thighs, shrinking back and looking around, but was met with the ferocious eyes of the hunters. It immediately lost momentum and fled outside with its tail between its legs, knocking over another wooden wall.

"Everybody retreat! Forget about these fences. We can only repair them after the rain."

Watching the Brute Jaw Dragon disappear into the forest, the commander wiped the rain from his forehead and called on the hunters behind him to retreat into the residential area.

A figure dressed in traditional swordsman gear trotted over, looking at the broken fence and then at the commander.

"I'm late."

The swordsman's muffled voice came through his helmet. He had been sleeping in his dormitory.

"No, it's okay. It's just that the juniors are all reliable now. Come to the meeting."

The commander patted the swordsman's shoulder and asked him to follow the team.

The meeting was not held on the star ship. The situation was already so tense that it would be a waste of time to climb onto the star ship.

"The returning investigators reported the situation and confirmed the storm engulfing the giant trees in the center of the forest. Such a natural disaster could only be the work of an ancient dragon."

"But they didn't see the ancient dragon itself, and it's still uncertain whether it was the Steel Dragon or the Storm Dragon that caused the storm."

The commander paused, then continued:

"I'm more inclined to believe it's a Storm Dragon. After all, the current phenomenon is mixed with a lot of rain, and the storm is coming from the north, not making landfall on the coast."

The investigator beside him also nodded slightly, agreeing with the commander's judgment.

As a monster that can control storms, the Storm Dragon can also call down heavy rain, which is something that a Steel Dragon cannot normally possess. Only Steel Dragons that come from the ocean or humid land can carry large amounts of rain.

Moreover, the size and impact of this storm in the forest alone would make people feel that disaster was coming, which made some investigators from Jieyun Village think of the existence of Lanlong.

The dragon scholar remained silent, tilting his head back as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was trying to determine the true source of the storm through the wooden board.

The others were also thinking, waiting for the commander to continue speaking.

"We can't rule out a new, unknown ancient dragon. Regardless of who it is, the impact this time is truly enormous. Reporting investigators have confirmed a monster rampage. There have been sightings of Thunder Wolf Dragons migrating during the storm. Our base was even attacked by a Savage Jaw Dragon. Construction work must be halted."

"I will send a new team to further confirm the main body of the storm and the scope of the disaster. We must avoid extreme situations."

"If it really is Lanlong, we might even have to prepare to evacuate."

The dragon scholar pushed his glasses, took over the conversation, and pointed out the extreme situation that the commander mentioned.

Monster riots are a chain reaction of natural disasters and the vanguard of natural disasters. They may even be more dangerous than the natural disasters themselves.

Lanlong has a strong sense of territory and will expel all monsters within its territory. Such behavior will cause large-scale monster riots in the surrounding area.

"No, evacuate. We can't think about that first. We have to think about...extinguishing the storm first."

The commander and the dragon scholar exchanged glances, and the latter nodded in understanding.

"To restore the balance of nature, and to protect ourselves."

For seventeen years, they were brought here by the storm, how could they be blown away by the storm again?

Chapter 473 The Grand Commander is Absent

Inside the ancient tree, the roars of monsters fighting did not stop with the arrival of the storm.

There are still monsters fighting the storm.

An extremely strong male fire dragon fell from the sky, adjusted its posture and made a smooth forced landing. Its excellent field of vision allowed it to quickly confirm the situation under the ancient tree, and it fluttered and jumped to one side.

The steel dragon, surrounded by black air currents, slowly descended from the sky, glanced around with a disdainful gaze, and dived rapidly towards the male fire dragon.

The Lord of Storms swooped down and landed, and the brutal impact knocked the opponent away, but the wind pressure from landing also swept up the complicated and tough vines on the ground. These vines rose up and wrapped around the body of the Steel Dragon, causing him to pause in his running momentum and instead tear off the vines on his body.

“Hmph!”

The iron pot climbed up and let out a mocking roar. It instinctively opened its mouth to accumulate a fireball, but then thought that the flames would burn the vines, so it closed its mouth and blew its tail on the steel dragon's face.

Not very aggressive, but extremely insulting.

For a moment, the black airflow on the steel dragon's shell surged rapidly, tearing the shell apart with the movement, and pounced towards the male fire dragon in front of it.

But after the tailspin, the iron pot broke away without hesitation, leaving the steel dragon empty-handed, and then spit out an air cannon.

The airflow spun and released into a tornado, causing the flying iron pot to stir up fallen leaves in the tornado.

But its reinforcements also arrived at the battlefield in time, and a fireball with a faint blue glow exploded on the tornado, destroying the stability of the spiral airflow and shattering the storm. At the same time, the explosion range also included the steel dragon rushing towards the iron pot.

The iron pot broke free from its restraints, climbed higher, and crashed directly into its brother.

"hold head high!!"

Not to be outdone, Mu Liao roared at the iron pot and kicked his brother with his claws.

The two brothers who were in the breeding season were disgusted with each other, but they just had a simple fight and then separated from each other and climbed to a higher altitude together.

Because the angry Steel Dragon is chasing us from below!

In the past five years, the three male fire dragons have always been the best in the breeding season. Even the blue fire dragons from the north have been chopped down by them.

The three brothers are also very ruthless to each other. Every year, only one can stay on the top of the crown. The rest can only return to the Golden Country in disgrace, or fight everywhere to hone themselves, and wait until the next breeding season to return to the ancient crown to avenge their previous shame.

But this year's breeding season went terribly wrong, as the Steel Dragons that arrived at the Ancient Tree scattered the gathered Fire Dragons.

The female fire dragon that could mate ran away, the male fire dragon that could fight also ran away, and the tree canopy that symbolized status was occupied.

This year's projects are all messed up!

then what should we do?

The three brothers made a plan and gathered together after a long absence, and started a continuous fight with the steel dragon in the ancient tree in the storm.

The battle with the Steel Dragon was full of dangers. In addition to the tacit understanding between the brothers, the reason they have survived until now is that there are other monsters suppressing the Steel Dragon.

"Roar!!!"

A roar came from the middle layer of the ancient tree, and a black figure followed closely behind, diving down from top to bottom towards the steel dragon.

That's Nergigante.

The iron pot and the wooden ladle moved away from the swooping path of the Nergigante, watching her entangled with the Steel Dragon.

Did Nergigante chase the storm, or did Nergigante drive the storm to the Ancient Tree Forest?

The two brothers who returned to the treetops were unable to think about such a complicated problem, but now that they had been beaten several times by the steel dragon, they knew very well that even if they joined forces, they could not defeat the steel dragon.

Porcelain Bowl, which was the most seriously injured in the attack of the Steel Dragon, has gone to the Golden City to seek help. They are all looking forward to their father's appearance and showing his power.

Looking towards the direction of the Big Anthill Wasteland, two small dots in the sky are gradually getting bigger in the rain, breaking through the dark clouds and bringing the skylight back to this rainy world.

But the figure led by the porcelain bowl was not their father, at least they had never seen their father transform into the Flame Dragon.

--the other side--

The investigation team continued to advance, holding on to the trees with well-developed root systems, and finally passed through the outer layer of the storm and reached the roots of the ancient tree.

As soon as they arrived, they saw two figures falling from the sky. They were stunned for a moment and didn't even react to hide. By the time they reacted, the two figures had already disappeared from their sight while struggling.

"Ah! Storm's true form is confirmed to be the Steel Dragon, but the ancient dragon that appeared is not just the Steel Dragon."

The captain of the investigation team covered his head in confusion.

"Captain! Look up at the sky!!!"

Hearing his teammates' frightened calls from behind, he couldn't help but frown.

What's so surprising? Could a third ancient dragon appear?!

But when he looked up and saw the broken clouds, he couldn't help but reveal the same terrified expression as his teammates.

It was a Flame Dragon. The Yangyan Dragon's Yangyan was striking the dark clouds in the sky, tearing off a ray of light from them.

A ray of light from the sky is rapidly expanding, dispelling the dark sky.

It was as beautiful as the dawn, but the investigator's face looked very bad.

"This is a serious matter..."

"Shall we continue observing?"

"Retreat, that's wrong."

The captain's fear quickly faded as he seemed to have thought of something. He pointed to several team members with a serious expression:

"You, you, you, the three of you, take this message back to the base and leave immediately. Do not stop along the way! The rest of you, stay here with me and wait for the handover with the follow-up personnel."

He was an investigator of the first regiment and one of the participants in the meeting. He was well aware of the commander's determination and the hardships he had experienced over the years.

Even if something more dangerous than the Storm Dragon appeared, even if no one could imagine what would happen if three ancient dragons appeared in the same area...

Isn’t this what the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team came for?

The investigation team will not give up, so the base will definitely send hunters to try to quell the riot.
