Monster life starting from picking up materials

Apparently, some large monsters that were able to escape from the Skeleton Dragon entered another area and started fighting for territory with the local monster lords.

"Go ahead, Nana! Use Flash Charge!"

"Roar?"

Nana looked at Jijie in confusion, hesitantly raised her claws, and decided to cooperate with Jijie. She stepped on the flames with all four legs and rushed towards the fighting Tyrannosaurus and Devilcano.

After knocking the dragon off balance, Nana raised her body and stepped on its claws and head, pressing it down.

But the already enraged Tyrannosaurus Rex raised its head and smashed down with a strong breath, trying to take in both the Flame Dragon and the Boom Dragon.

Noticing this, Nana jumped sideways behind the Tyrannosaurus Rex and stepped on its tail with one claw, slowing down its counterattack and causing it to be hit directly on the neck by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

A strong dragon aura gushed out from the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus. The recoil even caused the Tyrannosaurus's fangs to fall off, loosening the neck of the Tyrannosaurus, and the thick neck thrust upward.

"Spitfire!"

"Roar!"

A raging flame spurted out from Nana's mouth, burning through the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and then covering the Devil Rex, but was mostly offset by the raging dragon energy.

"throat!"

After the Tyrannosaurus Rex finished breathing on the Boom Dragon, it stepped on the Boom Dragon's head as it was about to raise it, lowered its neck, and spewed a column of dragon energy towards Nana.

The dragon attribute energy's advantage over other attributes slightly pushed the pillar of fire past, but as Nana increased her firepower, the pillar of fire began to push back.

"Don't panic, everyone loses when facing the left side, except for that pig Dyna!"

Ji Jie adjusted his position so that Nana was on the right side of his vision!

The collision of the two energies made him feel somewhat familiar. As expected—

"boom!!!"

An explosion occurred, and a spherical shock wave spread outward visibly from the center of the fire column and the dragon energy column. The first to bear the brunt were the Tyrannosaurus and the Raptor under the feet of the Tyrannosaurus.

The Tyrannosaurus, which tried to lift itself up, fell back down like a wild dog with a broken spine, and the Deinosaurus lost its balance under the impact and fell to the ground.

Nana pushed the pillar of fire far enough away that it was not within the range of the small explosion. She held her head high and proudly, like a majestic lion king.

The sparks and dragon-attribute particles are flying, making for a perfect advance.

Ji Jie quickly transformed into Tengumon, took out the observation tools from his bag and took a picture.

"Perfect!"

Looking at the falling photos, Ji Jie couldn't help but cheer.

Although Xia Bao didn't understand why, she took out her tongue and rolled it up in the air, like a cheerleader.

With its head no longer stepped on, Honglong was finally able to get up. He looked at Yanfeilong with a sad look, stopped roaring, and quickly fled into the depths of the woods.

The Tyrannosaurus also climbed up with the support of its head, drooling from its mouth, as if its head was hit. It was unmoved by the intimidation and rushed straight towards the Flame Dragon.

Nana took a step to avoid the Tyrannosaurus's direct attack, drifted and turned to its side, and slapped it, directly cutting the Tyrannosaurus's hind legs, causing it to stagger and fall to the ground.

"I'm here to help you!"

Ji Jie pulled out the sword from under Xia Bao's wings, flew towards the neck of the Tyrannosaurus, and slashed at its forehead repeatedly. Finally, with his quick eyes and hands, he seized the opportunity and stabbed it straight into the eye socket of the Tyrannosaurus.

"throat!"

The Deviljhosen raised its head violently, causing the sword to penetrate deeper and destroy its nerve center.

The glutton struggled twice before losing his life. Only his muscles were still twitching slightly and emitting bursts of foul odor.

"It's a pity that this thing is not edible. Let's just treat it as getting rid of pests."

Ji Jie shook his head, found a peeling knife, dug out the dragon jade from the chest of the Tyrannosaurus, and then walked down.

Chapter 586: New arrangements for the guild.

As Ji Jie and his group of dragons advanced eastward, the scholars who investigated the disappearance of the monsters also returned to Beruna Village with their gains.

"Oh! The blue sky and white clouds of Belluna Village, we are back!"

Looking at the plain village at the foot of the mountains, the young scholar couldn't help shouting.

This is a somewhat dreamy place, with blue sky and white clouds, magnificent mountains, emerald grasslands, and yellow flowers dotted among the grass.

With the development of airship technology and the opening of trade, an airport was built in the village of Belluna, and many airships could always be seen sailing in the blue sky.

"Ha, you always yell like that every time you come back from a mission."

The professor looked at the young dragon man as if he were looking at some new and exotic creature.

"If I become an old man like you in the future, I won't be able to shout anymore."

The young scholar scratched his head, a cringing expression on his face.

"Shrinking in size is also very interesting. As your perspective changes, you can more easily see the tiny flowers and small creatures in the grass, while everything else becomes huge. It's a wonderful and novel experience."

"But it's still a pity, to be so... small, while other things are already so huge."

In the primeval jungle, there are huge trees and giant dragon species, and even beetles are as big as your head.

"No regrets. At least, I can look the Cloud Sheep Deer cubs in the eye. Those cute little animals prefer to stick to me."

The older dragon-human professor showed a smug smile, which finally made the young scholar look envious.

"Look at those two airships."

The young scholar suddenly pointed outside the ship's side. Two special airships were docked in the airport of Belluna Village.

"What's all the fuss about? Let me see."

The professor stood on tiptoe and pushed up his glasses, feeling inwardly overwhelmed, while his eyes looked curiously towards the approaching airport.

"One ship bears the insignia of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the other looks powerful. This combination must be the investigation team tracking the ancient dragons migrating from the New World."

"The Dark Lantern Dragon, it seems to be from the New World as well?"

The young scholar scratched his head in confusion as he recalled what happened on this mission.

"Although there's no solid evidence at the moment, everyone has tacitly accepted it. After all, we heard it's related to the Yangyan Dragon couple who migrated from the New World."

The airship shook a bit and completed the connection with the airport. The scholars got off the airship and walked towards the village of Beruna.

Because of the existence of Longli Academy, Belluna Village is also known as a paradise for scholars, where scholars of all kinds can be seen.

A human scholar wearing a scribe's hat, an elderly dragon scholar in ancient attire, a curator in relatively bright clothes, and a young dragon scholar in a modern white coat...

The long lifespan of the dragon people has formed a picture from ancient times to the present at this moment.

During the greetings along the way, they also learned that the Gulongdu Investigation Team came here to prepare the airship and to organize some information at the Longli Academy.

Tracking the Dark Lantern Dragon is back to tracking the Dark Lantern Dragon, and the updates on its information and equipment cannot be left behind.

"We'll submit our investigation report. The Ancient Dragon Ferry Investigation Team should also come looking for us. After all, we tracked down the Dark Lantern Dragon."

Sure enough, the great scholars in the Dragon Calendar Academy quickly understood the importance of their discovery and invited them to join a meeting.

"That must be the Dark Night Guild, right? I heard that besides leading the hunters, they also judge those illegal poachers."

"Don't ask anything. Keep your voice down."

When mentioning some secrets, the two of them lowered their voices.

"And that one, I heard her brother became a member of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team, and she herself became the leader of the Ancient Dragon Ferry Investigation Team in the original continent. This family is really amazing."

"Ahem—ahem."

The female dragon's refreshing cough interrupted the young scholar, who then realized that his words had fallen into someone else's ears. He blushed and scratched his head.

"Recently, monsters have disappeared from many hunting grounds, disrupting the local ecological balance. I should have gathered you all separately to discuss countermeasures, but then the Dark Lantern Dragon appeared. I also have some ideas, so I called both parties together for consultation."

An elderly dragon woman sat cross-legged on a futon and spoke gently. She was the guild agent of Belluna Village.

"Let's first talk about the information about the missing monster."

"Initially, it wasn't quite right to say it was a monster disappearance, it was a monster conflict."

"On the border of the Eastern Kingdom, people in the two hunting grounds of the swamp and the dense forest witnessed a battle between a Dark Lantern Dragon and a creature that looked like a 'two-headed dragon' under the night sky."

"Then, a terrifying explosion occurred across the dense forest and swamp, flattening most everything within its range."

"After that, monsters began to disappear in various hunting grounds to the east. Based on the current intelligence, we infer that a more powerful monster devoured them..."

"It's unimaginable."

The guild muttered in the dark night, waiting for the agent to mention the part about the Dark Light Dragon.

"The investigation team took an airship to various hunting grounds to gather further intelligence. They discovered the Dark Lantern Dragon in the hunting ground where the incident occurred."

"Has that guy finally revealed his true colors?"

Someone in the crowd who didn't know the situation started asking, sounding a little nervous.

"On the contrary, we didn't find anything that directly points to the Dark Lantern as the culprit for the monsters' disappearances, but we did see some clues from his behavior."

Seeing the agent's hand extended towards him, the professor, who was the team's spokesperson, spoke.

"He exhibited similar behavior to us, also tracking down the real culprit. In fact, he may even know more than us."

"Where do I begin?"

An Ye's gaze also fell on the professor.

"The Dark Lantern Dragon focused its attention on the lake, taking a defensive stance. Hunters from the Dragon Calendar Institute's headquarters entered the center of the lake to investigate and discovered a cave leading elsewhere."

"This isn't an isolated case. When we returned, we inspected another hunting ground and discovered similar waterways. We also confirmed from the air the extent of the destruction in each hunting ground. Most of them were centered around lakes. It's possible that these lakes are connected in series."

"The culprit is likely an amphibious monster, traveling underground through waterways and preying on prey in various hunting grounds."

"Um,"

The guild agent took over, "After reading the investigation report, I wondered if this monster was the target of a Dark Lantern Dragon. Dark Lantern Dragon sightings have been moving eastward."

"You mean, you want us to help track that monster? If our target overlaps with the Dark Lantern Dragon, we will also encounter the Dark Lantern Dragon?"

Guild Dark Night immediately figured out the connection and understood what the agent meant.

"Yes, if it's difficult to catch the Dark Lantern Dragon, why not try a different target? Defeating the monster that wreaked havoc might also help us understand the Dark Lantern Dragon's ecology."

"We've discovered the monsters' patterns of movement. We just need to explore their likely hunting grounds—"

"Yeah, no problem!"

An Ye nodded and responded positively to the guild's arrangement.

The two airships tracked the Dark Light Dragon all the way through the mountains of East Dorma and the territory of the East Kingdom. They received assistance from many parties and occupied a lot of resources. They had to make corresponding contributions!

Chapter 587 The future dragon ship.

"Hey! Look here!"

As soon as he walked out of the meeting, An Ye saw a young dragon man wearing a bachelor's hat waving at him.

"You are the ones in charge of the two airships, right? You are the Dark Night of the guild."

After getting closer and seeing the identity mark on An Ye, the boy's enthusiasm cooled down a little, but he still remained excited.

"Hello, what can I do?"

An Ye lowered his head and looked curiously at the dragon man who looked like a child.

The man was wearing an academic hat and his identity badge indicated that he was a researcher at the Dragon Calendar Institute, but he was a little too young.

"Hey, let me guess. Is this the rumored youngest researcher in the history of the Dragon Calendar Academy?"

The female scholar put her hands in her pockets and asked with great interest.

"Thank you for your compliments, big sister. However, I'm currently in charge of the Dragon Identification Ship project. Could you please allow me to connect the Ancient Dragon Observation Ship to that armed airship?"

"connect?"

An Ye was stunned. He had heard of the Longshi Ship. It was an airship customized by the Longli Academy for further monster and ecological surveys after the development of airship technology.

"Well, when the Dragon Awareness Ship was first designed, it was supposed to be a sky stronghold capable of investigating and taking countermeasures as soon as monsters appeared. However, this isn't something that can be accomplished by the Dragon Awareness Ship alone."
