Monster life starting from picking up materials

Frozen Pterosaur.

The pterosaurs that flew over the Grand Canyon were often dying individuals summoned by the Bone Mound, so it was okay to let her play with them.

Nana looked at the Ice Curse Dragon that was happily freezing the Pterosaur, and a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.

After flying over the Grand Canyon, they climbed to the top of the mesa.

Here, Ji Jie transformed into an Ice Curse Dragon and gently rubbed Bingbingzi's neck, poking the ground with the tip of his tail, signaling her to stay here and not move.

He transformed into the Flame King Dragon and whispered to Nana for a while, then asked her to return to the Golden Land first.

The three dragons reluctantly parted here, and Ji Jie returned to the ancient tree forest.

He stared at the devastation below from the air, let out a sigh of helplessness, and slowly descended from the air, his figure becoming slender and strange.

The forest, baptized by fire, was too clean, making Jijie, who had transformed into a Corpse Hazrat, extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately, the humus under the soil was not affected too much.

"Heng~Heng~Heng~Heng~Ang~"

As the Corpse Hazak howled like ghosts and wolves, the microorganisms in the air were sucked into the respiratory pores opened on the sides of its body. These decomposers were activated in the Corpse Hazak's body and were discharged during their rapid reproduction and growth.

The turbid miasma connects to the soil, pulling the microorganisms in the humus into the breathing holes of the Corpse Dragon, becoming part of the miasma cycle.

As he walked, these decomposers spread through the forest that had just been burned, accelerating the decomposition of the burned organisms and providing nutritional reinforcements for the regeneration of the forest.

The monsters that were still rioting also calmed down after having their strength drained by the miasma. They said they would return to their nests to recuperate and not come out to make trouble again.

During this period, he even found snow-white spores and covered his whole body with them. After the miasma reserves became more and more abundant in the circulation, Ji Jie flapped his wings and barely stayed in the air, dropping sparse miasma clouds from the air all the way.

Soon, he returned to the place where the steel dragon died. The dark figure was still lying on the steel dragon's corpse and biting it hard.

Still eating.

Seeing how delicious she was eating, Ji Jie also wanted to taste it. He descended from the air and transformed into a Nergigante, moving closer.

"Woo!!!"

The Nergigante made a threatening sound to protect its food, but to Ji Jie it sounded more like a pitiful whimper. He ignored it and squeezed his head in to gnaw on the Steel Dragon.

Nergigante lowered its head silently and quickened its eating pace, wanting to eat as much as possible.

“A familiar taste.”

The Steel Dragon was the first ancient dragon he had ever bitten, so it naturally left a deep impression on him. The texture was as hard as ever, and even the meaty part felt like ore, making the dragon wonder whether it was nutritious at all.

After all, it is a monster that chews ore, so its nutrition may be a little lacking, but the energy contained in it is enough to cause Nergigante to have a special reaction.

After the Flame Devourer, the Nergigante in front of her became the Storm Devourer again. Within a few years, she successfully devoured two ancient dragons. The accumulated energy was flowing under her skin, turning into crystal clear white thorns.

These thorns, besides being sharp, have begun to show a crystalline texture like jade.

Ji Jie no longer competed with Nergigante for food, but circled around her, playing with the thorns on her body with her claws for a while, then passed by her and walked towards the direction of the investigation team's retreat.

Transforming into a harmless bird, he followed the retreating footsteps all the way to the temporary camp set up by the investigation team not far from the front line.

The camp was very quiet. The first thing he saw was the hunters wrapped in bandages. Most of them were injured, and some were still in a coma and in danger of death.

Ji Jie approached the four-cornered tent in the center carefully and quietly, crawled into the corner of the tent, hid his whole body in the piled-up tent cloth, and listened to the conversation coming from inside.

"Except for the pitch-black ancient dragon that was still feeding, the rest of the ancient dragons flew into the sky."

"When we climbed to a higher place, we couldn't see them anymore. More importantly, the fire had stopped. I went to the original fire source and only saw some ice blocks at the scene, which have not melted until now."

He arrived just in time, as the returning observers were reporting on the situation.

"The fire has stopped, and the multiple ancient dragons have disappeared. This is the most rare good news in the past few days."

There was a hint of relief in the commander's voice, but his words were also filled with fatigue that was difficult to conceal.

"I've been sorting through past records and wartime intelligence, and I've come to some surprising conclusions."

The dragon scholar flipped through his notebook and continued without looking up:

"From the sightings on the original continent until now, it can be confirmed that it is an ancient dragon capable of preying on ancient dragons."

"Unlike other known ancient dragons, it does not possess the power to manipulate elements. However, it relies on its immense strength and regenerative abilities to suppress similar ancient dragons."

"Although it doesn't possess the ability to control elements, its strength, combined with its appetite, could allow it to hunt down ancient dragons, causing them to lose control and leave their territory. This could also cause a natural disaster." The dragon scholar paused. "This can be seen from the direction the storm is shifting."

"You mean, the Steel Dragon was driven here from the north by it?"

The investigators in the tent looked at each other, and it was another young dragon scholar, who was in charge of managing logistical resources, who spoke up.

"Well, according to Master Yuanye's investigation report, the other side of the Grand Canyon is a plateau composed of a large number of terrestrial corals. The higher humidity and the more updrafts from the lower valleys explain why a steel dragon coming from that side would produce a typhoon-like effect similar to a coastal landfall."

"The hunted steel dragon was also very frantic and directly drove the monsters out from the center of the forest, which triggered the riot."

"It seems this is the cause of the incident. Driving the ancient dragons away from their natural habitat during the hunt... Doesn't this sound like the Ancient Dragon Crossing?"

The commander narrowed his eyes sharply.

Chapter 480 The “only” “suspect dragon”?

"Driving ancient dragons away from their natural habitat during the hunt...isn't this like the Ancient Dragon Crossing?"

Music, the classic cover blame segment.

Ji Jie couldn't help laughing.

"But in the original continent, whether it was the Steel Dragon of the first group or the Flame King Dragon of the second group, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau did not find the existence of the Black Ancient Dragon when they discovered their whereabouts."

But soon, the commander shook his head and smiled, denying his idea, as if it was just a joke.

But the dragon scholar lowered his head and remained silent, still thinking.

The commander also began to hand over the situation to other personnel in the tent.

During the time when the hunters on the front line were fighting, this temporary camp had successfully established contact with the stronghold under the deployment of logistics personnel. There were still many things that needed to be handed over between the front line and the rear.

"We haven't found the Dark Ancient Dragon... No, it's possible we just can't confirm its true form."

After a long while, the dragon scholar raised his head and drew the commander's attention back.

"Oh?"

The commander raised an eyebrow, expecting the scholar to continue.

"In the first sighting, it 'transformed' from a special male Rathalos, and it possesses some kind of mimicry ability."

"Comparing the data from several sightings, the individual this time was not the first one, nor was it the one Locklark had seen."

"You mean, it sounds like it's quite a lot?"

"The first instance and the one Lockkrak saw were both larger than this one. There's too little data on the former to determine if they're the same individual. However, Lockkrak's instance expanded in size after preying on the Lingshan Dragon, with the interval no more than forty-eight hours."

"Send another group of two out to check with the personnel still on the front lines. Make sure someone is keeping an eye on that guy. Report back in 48 hours."

The commander's expression grew a little serious. He turned around and grabbed an investigator to give him new instructions.

"Leave it to me. I just heard about the situation at the base, and it seems we're short on manpower right now."

The voice came from the entrance of the tent. The burly man opened the tent and lowered his head to speak.

The Grand Commander is here.

"You're finally here. Do you need to know the details?"

The commander folded his arms across his chest, a small smile on his face.

"I've heard a lot from the base and the hunters, and I know almost everything, but..."

The Grand Master looked at the dragon scholar, who looked as if he was about to speak but hesitated. "You have other suspicions, don't you?"

"I'm thinking that we can't confirm its true identity. Perhaps that pitch-black ancient dragon isn't its true identity either. The truth behind the Ancient Dragon Ferry might be hidden beneath this."

These words pierced through everyone's thoughts like a flash of lightning. After the lightning, a heavy rain curtain weighed on everyone's heart.

Ji Jie couldn't laugh either.

Because he found that he seemed to be the one to take the blame.

He didn't expect that his transformation during the battle with Xuanhuilong was actually witnessed.

"It's a bold guess, but if we want to unlock the Ancient Dragon Ferry, we can only start with the current 'only' 'suspected dragon'."

The Grand Commander's gaze swung back and forth between the commander and the dragon scholar, his eyes obscure as he emphasized the words "only one" and "suspected dragon".

The two of them also understood what he meant.

After all, the ancient dragon that appeared in this incident has nothing to do with "only one".

There was no discussion about the couple, naturally because there were too many people here, and if they did, it would be inevitable that they would not be able to control their words and reveal some information that would challenge people's worldview.

Perhaps the hunters involved in this incident will have some doubts, but stopping at vague doubts is the best protection.

They need some private time and space to confirm what announcements can and cannot be made.

Ji Jie was hiding under the tent cloth. Although he couldn't see the expressions of the crowd, he could still hear the two words that were deliberately emphasized.

He also realized that the investigation team had collected so many puzzle pieces without realizing it.

Whether in the future or now, rather than letting Nergigante take the blame, it is better to say that Nergigante is the only clue that the investigation team can use to investigate Ancient Dragon Ferry.

His presence will be the same.

"Slip away."

Ji Jie crawled out of the tent, shook his feathers, took a few steps and jumped, and flew away from the front-line camp.

Below, the Grand Commander also walked out of the tent and headed towards the area where the Nergigante was active.

More hunters spread out to carry out more follow-up tasks and determine the specific situation after the war.

Ji Jie transformed into an electric dragon and quickly flew to the west of the ancient tree forest, intending to find Mengbao first and get the luggage brought back from the Everfrost Tundra.

The luggage was still there, and the cute baby was there, but they were surrounded by a circle of menacing Thunder Wolf Dragons.

The herd of Thunder Wolf Dragons migrating to the west collided with the Explosive Crusher Dragons heading west. The slime mold spread out in a circle on the ground, and the boiling red light surrounded the cute baby and luggage, warning the Thunder Wolf Dragons not to get close.

The ice didn't thaw much during its absence, but the cute baby broke the ice and took a few bites, which allowed the originally frozen and inert odor molecules to spread again.

Bobo may not be on the list of dishes ordered by the Thunder Wolf Dragons, but Ming Long can see that it is edible. There is a lot of meat, enough to fill the stomachs of many Thunder Wolf Dragons in the tribe.

Naturally, they refused to leave.

"Ouch!"

A Thunder Wolf Dragon couldn't bear it any longer and jumped over the "fire circle" formed by the slime mold and pounced on it, but was blocked by Mengbao's punch and knocked to the ground. It rolled over the slime mold and was blown all over, wailing.

The group of Thunder Wolf Dragons became agitated, and several Thunder Wolf Dragons arched their bodies and prepared to pounce and bite.

Seeing this, Ji Jie flapped his wings violently, and the Green Lightning Master crashed into the group of Thunder Wolf Dragons like a flash of green lightning, knocking over several Thunder Wolf Dragons in a row.

He dived down so hard that even he fell to the ground.

He quickly got up, and as he shook his wings, several thunder balls were thrown out, and lightning splashed everywhere.

A pair of wings also turned into electric mosquito swatters. The stronger electric current caused the lightning bugs to crackle and emit green smoke, and then fell to the ground with their bodies charred.

The sudden attack was naturally intolerable to the Thunder Wolf Dragons. They rushed forward with a low roar, ready to teach the huge Thunder Lightning Bug in front of them a lesson.

"Hangang!!!"

As Ji Jie roared, the horn on his head opened, and a green electric sword pointed straight to the sky, which stunned the thunder wolf dragons.

As he shook his head, the long sword became as soft as a whip, lashing out with lightning that splashed everywhere and lashed out at any Thunder Wolf Dragon that dared to approach.

Many Thunder Wolf Dragons entered the super-charged state, but as the blue current above their heads turned golden, the Thunder Wolf Dragons' battery shells directly exceeded the current capacity limit and exploded, and even their hair was burned and scorched.

The severe pain forced the Thunder Wolf Dragons to scatter with howls.

"Hey! Don't run! Look at my five lightning whips!"

The S index has increased significantly!

Chapter 481 Bobo is the best.

Ji Jie felt great after the blow, but the thunder wolf dragons also collapsed, forcing their leader wolf, who was lurking in the depths waiting for the opportunity, to pounce directly.

As usual, there was no pre-war declaration roar, and millions of thunders came directly from behind accompanied by heavy weight.
