Monster life starting from picking up materials

The young researcher shook his head somewhat disappointedly, but soon a strong sense of mission burst out in his eyes.

"Long-distance voyages require the support of a flight formation."

The female scholar nodded. After the renovation, the Ancient Dragon Observation Ship departed from Belluna Village, circled the Western Continent and returned here. She was quite experienced in long-distance routes.

"Yes, but to deal with the turbulent air currents at high altitudes, ordinary-sized airships are not enough to support the logistics of the Dragon Knowledge Ship, so I have a new idea."

"Connect the airship!"

The young researcher's passion and sense of mission burned together, and a strong light flashed in his eyes.

"If multiple airships are connected, high-altitude navigation will be more stable, and people's daily life will become more convenient."

"So... you want to use our airship for an experiment? That's not very safe, right?"

Although touched by the boy's enthusiasm, An Ye still frowned.

"We've tried co-piloting with other airships and have accumulated a wealth of experience. However, the scale of the Dragon Knowledge Ship will far exceed that of a normal airship, so we need a larger airship to... conduct this experiment."

He seemed to realize that his request was a bit rude to the hunter in front of him, and there was a hint of apology in his tone.

"I think we can try this kid's suggestion. The search will take time to advance. If we can modify the ship, it will be of great benefit to the next mission."

The guild agent slowly walked over from behind and looked at the researcher.

"I believe in the technology of the Dragon Calendar Institute. The Ancient Dragon Observation Ship was originally developed here. Every time I see you hunters swinging between two airships, I can't help but feel uneasy."

The female scholar also tried to persuade him.

She saw that what An Ye was considering was the youth of the researcher in front of him, rather than the airship technology of the Longli Academy behind the researcher.

"In that case, it's hard to refuse. Thank you for your help."

"Great! Don't worry, even if there's a problem, we can untie the two airships in time!"

The young man spoke confidently, then ran towards the airport, obviously going to make arrangements.

"What a vibrant young man."

The female scholar sighed and suddenly realized that something was rubbing against her trouser leg.

Looking down, she saw a little cloud sheep deer attracted by the incense she carried with her. It sniffed and looked at her curiously. It looked very cute.

The Cloud Sheep Deer is a docile herbivore that lives in the area around the village of Belluna. Its fur is a specialty of the village, and young Cloud Sheep Deer are regarded as mascots here.

……

After confirming the hunting grounds where the monsters might appear next, a number of investigation airships were dispatched by the Dragon Calendar Institute to various locations.

These airships will serve as eyes, deployed to investigate hunting grounds where unknown monsters may appear, and the guild will take corresponding measures based on their findings.

"If we send so many airships into the wilderness at once, aren't we afraid of encountering flying dragons?"

Julius looked at the airship in the sky with some concern.

"Why worry? The development of airship technology will inevitably include means to deal with flying dragons."

The author was about to explain further when he saw Hubble waving at them from a distance:

"The connection between the two airships is complete, come and see!"

Soon, the three of them arrived at the bottom of the airport. A lot of people had already gathered here. In addition to relevant scholars and hunters, there were also some caravan members who stopped to watch the excitement.

They looked up and found the two large airships connected together in the airport.

The main modifications were made to the side of the ship, which was connected by iron ropes and wooden boards. The pilots of the two airships were also trained, and the steering efficiency and use of the rudders were adjusted synchronously to the level that they could fly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, two side-by-side airships slowly rose up, maintaining synchronization as they ascended into the sky.

It was a little shaky at first, but soon it became stable again, and I began to debug relatively complex operations such as turning left and right in the sky.

As the young dragon man waved the flag and sent out flag signals, the two airships began to make contact and connect.

The two iron chain bridges connecting the two airships were hung down after being untied, and the connection between the airships was subsequently released. The hanging iron chain bridges were then pulled up by ropes by the crew.

Reconnecting is even easier for the airship, just like docking a supply ship.

After traversing a stable route, the two airships that had completed the experiment untied the iron chain bridge again and returned to their respective pre-moored positions.

"A perfect experiment. The pilots of both airships are excellent!"

“If there’s a chance in the future, I’d like to try sailing three large ships in parallel!”

The young researcher recorded his findings in his notebook with great satisfaction.

As An Ye listened to the young researcher's thoughts and looked at his childish face, he always felt that something was dangerous.

But if you think about it carefully, the fact that he can become the youngest researcher in the Dragon Calendar Academy means that he has been recognized like other adult dragon people.

I hope he can succeed.

"Airships are really convenient."

"Indeed."

Hearing the female scholar's sigh, An Ye also nodded.

After the airship completed its inspection and preparation, Dark Night began to plan a navigation route targeting the hunting grounds where the monster that caused the accident might appear, and then headed into the sky.

Chapter 588: Air Wall? No, it's Xialong.

"Haha—it looks like they've started to make some moves."

Ji Jie, in the form of Flame Dragon, yawned tiredly and looked up at the airship passing by in the sky. This was the third airship he had seen in these days.

These airships all have the same markings, representing the human force called Longliyuan.

He smacked his lips and climbed up, his tail rubbing against Nana's side, his eyes following the airship.

A swift green shadow flashed by, and the airship fell diagonally towards the ground.

"Hiss, this is not good!"

The sudden change made Ji Jie wake up instantly. He wanted to chase after the airship to see where it crashed, but he subconsciously looked behind him.

The body of the Flame Queen Dragon was a bright and vivid blue. She was lying down, licking her mane that had just been messed up during physical activity. She looked graceful, like a queen.

After noticing that Ji Jie was looking at her, Nana gave him a lazy look, indicating that he could go if he wanted to.

Xiabao had been sent away by the couple to find food to prevent him from seeing things that children should not see.

Ji Jiehan smiled, and the rough long tail of the Flame King Dragon pulled across the tree, gradually becoming thick, short and smooth in the process, while the mane at the tip of the tail shrank, revealing the curly little tufts underneath.

As Xiao Que Que climbed over the bark, Xialong completed his disguise and rushed towards the crash site of the airship with stiff and swift steps.

Soon, he saw the airship crashing into the woods, and the broken airbag smashed a large number of trees.

An electric dragon stood on top of the airbag, roaring towards the people below. Its violent posture could be seen from a long distance away, and it was constantly tearing the airbag of the takeoff airship with its claws.

It was obviously this guy who shot down the airship. A hint of blood came from the front, which made Ji Jie a little worried about the safety of the people in the airship. His eyes penetrated the leaves and saw the scene under the airship.

The Dragon Academy hunter who had been seen before was carrying the bleeding driver on his shoulder, trying to get out of the monster's sight with extreme caution.

Ji Jie could smell the blood from a distance, and the electric dragon on the airbag could naturally smell it as well.

However, the irritable electric dragon did not seem to analyze the source of the blood smell. It just kept tearing the airbag of the airship under its feet. After it put its head into it and found nothing, it realized that the blood smell was not coming from the airbag, and turned to look at the hunter.

"hold head high!"

The electric dragon roared for no reason and pounced on the fleeing hunter.

The hunter sensed the murderous intent behind him, and rolled to the side with the unconscious driver in his arms, placing him steadily under the bushes.

Then he drew out the katana in his other hand, dropped the scabbard and faced the electric dragon's murderous intent.

"Drink!"

The sword made of Ice Fang Dragon material cut across the wing claws of the Lightning Dragon, and a piece of keratin fell to the ground with a hint of coldness.

But the wind pressure under the wings made the hunter stagger, and his chassis became unstable and he almost fell. Judging from his movements, his legs and feet were seriously injured when he fell, and there were many branches and leaves on his body.

The electric dragon didn't notice the inconspicuous piece of keratin, but just waved its wing claws and continued to attack the hunter.

The hunter barely managed to fend off the electric dragon's attack with his katana. The dragon's violent and torrential attacks left him with no chance to drink medicine to recover his strength, so he could only move around with the katana.

He dodged whenever he could, and parried whenever he could, but he had no idea how to defeat the flying dragon in front of him or how to rescue his unconscious companion.

After rolling over and avoiding the monster's dragon chariot to create some distance, he finally had the chance to look at the flying dragon in front of him.

The Dragon Calendar Institute has information about this guy. It's an electric dragon that's even more dangerous than a fire dragon. Besides being more dangerous than a fire dragon, the electric dragon is also rarer. It's almost impossible for an airship or investigator to survive if they encounter one.

This also led to a scarcity of information on electric dragons and an even greater lack of means to deal with them. Pilots also had no experience in avoiding such monsters and only had time to make emergency landings.

"Thunder-attribute monsters are probably weak to ice..."

The hunter murmured, the coolness of the Ice Fang Knife [Amber] climbing up to the palm of his hand through his gloves, but he could not think of any possibility of repelling the monster in front of him.

After keeping some distance, the electric dragon shook its wings and roared threateningly, and electric balls flew towards him close to the ground.

He stared at the flight path of the electric balls, looking for a way to dodge. Sweat flowed into his eyes, making them a little blurry, but he saw that the electric balls flying towards him exploded out of thin air, as if there was an air wall.

But he immediately realized that it was not an air wall. The blurry air was being dyed purple. It was a dragon!

"What a stroke of luck..."

The hunter didn't know whether he should feel good luck or bad luck, but he quickly reacted, ran to the bushes, picked up the scabbard, and carried the driver, intending to take advantage of the time the monsters were fighting for territory to move to a safe place.

Xialong's circular eyes glanced at the two people who escaped, and then turned back to the electric dragon in front of him.

Another batch of green electric balls flew close to the ground and exploded on Ji Jie's body.

"No pain, no itching, didn't you eat?"

Seeing that the electric dragon was about to pounce on him to fight with physical skills, Ji Jie slapped it out in a simple and unpretentious manner. The electric dragon's violent attack was directly stopped, and the electric dragon lost its balance and fell to the ground.

After stepping on the electric dragon a few more times to weaken its strength, he shot out his tongue and wrapped it around its neck, dragging it in the direction it came from, intending to give it to Nana.

"Wait, those two went towards Nana?"

The footprints on the ground made Ji Jie stop. He looked at the electric dragon with rebellious eyes, and without hesitation, he bit off its neck.

The rebellious electric dragon's hot blood splashed in his mouth and was swallowed as his tongue moved.

"I wanted to bring it back alive to make Nana happy, but sending the Lightning Dragon's Dawn Dragon to the Flame Queen Dragon... that's still too much of a challenge for the hunter's worldview."

Ji Jie walked towards Nana with the electric dragon in his mouth, and sensed the hunter hiding behind the woods.

He must have seen Nana at this location, but he still stayed here. Was he trying to hide from other large monsters in the dark?

Facing the hunter's astonished gaze, he placed the electric dragon with its neck bitten off in front of the Flame Dragon.

Nana was stimulated by the smell of blood and no longer had any intention of showing off her cooking skills. She simply bit open the electric dragon's shell and tore off its flesh.

Ji Jie lay down, squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep, using his senses to pay attention to the hunters hiding behind the forest. He planned to wait until the unconscious man woke up and then listen to what information they could discuss.

Before he could close his eyes for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Because Xiabao is back and is still stealing other people’s swords!

589

Chapter 589: Swordsman - [Strike] Between the Swordsmen.

A slight pulling force came from the scabbard, and the hunter suddenly felt something was wrong, but his body was still shaken by the powerful force.

He fell to the ground, steadied his body with his limbs, and freed one hand to draw out the sword. The pulling force also loosened as he drew the sword.

The hunter turned around warily and saw two metal plates flying in the air, faintly outlining a vague outline.

It's a Xialong! But... not the one from before?

The hunter subconsciously held his breath. He thought that being attacked by an electric dragon was bad luck, but encountering four ancient dragons in the same area... This was unimaginable, so much so that he wondered if he was in a nightmare and had not woken up yet.

The fuzzy outline became clear, and the revealed Xialong was not big, so small that it should not even be an adult, but it was already a great threat to them.

I originally wanted to use the Yangyan Dragon's territorial awareness to avoid encountering other monsters, but when I really encountered other monsters, I was restricted. If there was any movement, I would be discovered by the couple from the New World.

The more he looked at the Xialong in front of him, the more surprised he was. The source of this surprise was not only the two metal plates that made up the helmet on Xialong's head, but also the things on the side of Xialong's body under its wings.

He saw the handle of a katana.

And Xialong's gaze...are those circle-shaped eyes staring at the katana in his hand?
