Monster life starting from picking up materials

Ji Jie stared at the light insect in An Ye's hand and said to himself, "Old silver coin." This was also the reason why he chose to liberate the old dragon man first.

It is better to liberate the helpless old dragon man than to liberate the hunter who can escape and fight back on his own to express friendship.

However, the atmosphere between the three people and the insect was a little awkward for a moment. The Mantis King crossed his arms, and his purple eyes glowed slightly in the dim light, reflecting the golden light of his body.

He calmly examined the hunters who had strayed into his trap.

The Grand Secretary finally reacted. The mantis in front of him was considered to be kind in everyone's discussion. Except for the first time it appeared and attacked the city pass, it had not attacked any human settlements since then.

Later, the team sent by Dongdoruma inferred from their observations that the King of Mantis attacked the fortress only because it blocked the way to the ruins city and he was counterattacking. The fact that he was also compared to the Queen of Mantis from the same period greatly added to the score.

And just now, although that cold light allowed him to see his grandmother, its purpose was also to liberate him.

The dragon scholar's mind worked quickly. Looking at the golden threads reflected by the mantis, he understood that they had mistakenly entered the enemy's hunting ground.

What a good bug! What a good bug!

He looked at the Mantis King in front of him curiously. The dim light could not hide the other party's luxury, which made him quickly tidy up his hair crown that was messed up when he fell, trying to make himself look more formal.

I was wondering why my luck couldn't be better. Why would my hair crown get messed up every time I met a friendly member of the Monster Group?

And during the season, Mantis King Ge always maintained a scrutinizing gaze, looking back and forth at the three humans, and seemed to respond when their eyes crossed.

A beetle, yet possessing the same majesty as that of the Flame King Dragon, his eyes were filled with the scrutiny of a superior. Compared to the humble male mantises in the investigation report, the Mantis King in front of him appeared extremely proud.

The Grand Secretary sighed secretly, and also thought of the jade in the anatomy report of the mantis. The mantis's suspected bloodline existed in the era when dragon monsters were born. Some scholars even speculated that they had lived in ancient human civilization and witnessed the demise of civilization, and their lifespan was also very long.

For a moment, the Mantis King in front of him had a more ancient and vicissitudes of life color, which made people imagine.

Seeing the look in the Grand Secretary's eyes, Ji Jie nodded slightly. He felt that this old man was quite sensible. No wonder he could stand out from so many dragon scholars and become the Grand Secretary of the Dragon Calendar Academy.

Dark Night and his knight deputy looked at each other, thinking that the Grand Secretary's excessive self-awareness (middle school second year) had come back again, but they said nothing, just moved closer to the Grand Secretary and kept on guard.

"Human, you're funny."

Ji Jie felt that he couldn't just sit there like a sculpture and do nothing, so he opened his mouth and made a short hissing sound. Anyway, they couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Sorry, sorry, we disturbed you. We will leave immediately."

The hissing sound made the three of them slightly nervous. The Grand Secretary hurriedly bowed and apologized to the Mantis King in front of him, and then ran out.

The two short legs trembled, but the speed did not slow down at all. At the same time, he did not forget to wave and greet Dark Night and the Knight.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then imitated the Grand Secretary to apologize to Ji Jie, and ran away quickly, their steps getting faster and faster, and finally they even ran, and disappeared from his sight after mentioning the Grand Secretary.

Uh, they seem to think this means threatening to expel them?

"Just take that as your meaning, so I don't have to stand there like a statue and stare at you."

Ji Jie thought of that funny apology and found it a little funny.

Chapter 639 Let me see what you wrote!

"call."

The Grand Secretary, who was being held in Anye's hand, fell to the ground and let out a long sigh.

"Looking into the eyes of a monster like that is really stressful."

"Yeah, even when I was being chased by three velociraptors, I didn't feel this much pressure."

A few people sighed and climbed up a step to lean against the rock, sighing about the look of the mantis king before. If the mantis king had attacked them with fangs and claws, they would not be in the state of mind they are in now even if they escaped.

But the Mantis King did not attack them. He just stood there quietly, looking at them indifferently. There was no curiosity in his eyes when he looked at them, as if he had known them for a long time.

Of course, this understanding is not a simple interpretation of the human body by the monster - human flesh is not tasty, but a deeper level of cognition, so there is no curious scrutiny.

It was not until they heard the roar that they felt relieved, because they could naturally understand the roar as the monster's intimidating roar, that is, the order to leave.

"He must have observed humans. Maybe he saw our ancestors felling trees, carrying stones, building houses, and reproducing."

The Grand Secretary took out his notebook and carefully recorded his observations. With a few simple strokes, he depicted the look in the Mantis King's eyes and wrote down his detailed thoughts beside them:

"Monsters make up our world, and perhaps we also make up the world of monsters. We can all see each other and are part of each other's world."

Several hours had passed since they entered the volcano. The three people, who had been frightened all night, were also tired, so they took out the food they had brought with them and started eating and taking a short rest.

However, before the three of them could relax for long, curious eyes found them.

Xia Bao stared at the university scholar writing and drawing in his notebook. The first thing that came to her mind was naturally the sketchbook, and her curiosity instantly reached its peak.

Let me see what you wrote!

The long tongue shot out, wrapped around the center of the open notebook and then retracted it.

This is what I picked up!

"Hey!"

The university scholar was not very strong and his notebook was taken away in an instant, leaving him at a loss.

Both Dark Night and the Knight reacted and prepared to draw their weapons.

In front of their eyes, the blurred color blocks slowly turned into clear purple, and they saw a half-grown dragon wearing a helmet, a long sword hanging under its wings, and the university scholar's notebook in its mouth.

The half-grown dragon opened its mouth wide, raised its wings, and stared forward with its circular eyes. Its chubby front paws were adorably tensed, creating a ferocious, yet adorably ugly posture. (See Toothless baring his teeth.)

Terrible?

It was so terrifying that the three of them just froze there, unable to move.

Xia Bao nodded in satisfaction at the three people's feedback. The color of his body gradually distorted, and finally formed a mimicry color similar to that of the volcanic environment, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Not... this, this? He..."

The Grand Secretary's hands were still suspended in the air, one holding a pen, as if he was still writing, but his eyes were looking around blankly.

He was stolen by Xialong? That's robbery, right?

After coming back to his senses from his daze, the Grand Secretary just felt funny.

I'm so angry.jpg.

After laughing for a while, he took out a new notebook from the knight's bag and stopped at a blank page.

The pencil swept across the paper quickly, making a clean rustling sound. Soon, a half-grown dragon in a deterrent posture landed on the paper, vivid and lifelike.

"Look at this guy, he's so cute."

The Grand Maester held up the notebook and showed it to Dark Night and the Knight.

“It’s kind of cute.”

Dark Night looked at the fiercely glaring Xia Long on the paper and nodded, but when he got the knight's response, he shook his head.

“I think it’s a bit ugly.”

"Hmm? Isn't it cute? Look at that smile, that pointy head, those dull eyes, but he's trying so hard to look fierce."

The Grand Secretary was stunned for a moment, put down his notebook, took a look at it himself, then raised it again, and pointed out the points that he found cute with great care.

"Uh……"

The knight realized the difference in aesthetic tastes between humans and dragons, but when he turned around, he saw Dark Night nodding in agreement. Was it really his problem?

But in this way, all three of them relaxed.

"I wish I had just played with the colored balls. I'm actually quite curious why he wanted to steal my book."

The Grand Secretary sighed, climbed onto a rock and looked around. As for the notebook he had written in, he didn't care much about it. Of course, he knew the contents of it.

"You two can help me too."

Upon hearing this, the hunter and the knight also found a position with a wide field of vision and looked for any anomalies in the environment. Soon, An Ye saw a "helmet" floating in the air.

"Come, this is the position he should be in."

The knight placed the Grand Secretary on the stone first, then climbed up himself. The three of them lay down and raised their telescopes to observe.

Xia Bao didn't notice the three people who were peeping at him. He just found a cooler place on the floor and lay down, revealing his body in a relaxed manner. He put down the newly found notebook and turned page after page.

Above his head, Ji Jie, who had transformed into a scaly striker, was hanging upside down on the stalactite. He was also curious about what was in the Grand Secretary's notebook. Was there any hidden content?

However, it wasn't like that. The first page of the notebook was him - a full-length side profile of the Flame King Dragon spanning two pages, with each part broken down into other angles, such as the front view of the head, the claw marks on the claws, and the sitting posture with its back to the camera.

The content drawn with pencil was very simple, mostly just an impression, waiting to be filled with memories when things settled down later. There were also some small words written around it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand them.

The second page was about the Cinder Slayer and the Dragon Slayer, with a lot of white flowing. It seemed that because they were being chased by the Dragon Slayer, they had no chance to see the whole thing clearly.

The third page is naturally the mantis. I have just started writing and have only drawn the outline of the mantis's head and posture, with a row of eye-catching words recorded next to it.

The rest of the notebook is blank, and it is obviously a brand new notebook prepared for this event.

"He's reading my book. He's so studious."

The Grand Secretary stroked his long beard and marveled at it.

"Can he really understand it?"

"I'm sure I can't understand the text, but the pictures should be extremely attractive to such curious... children."

"Other creatures may not be so low-level, and we humans may not be so advanced either. However, the curiosity displayed by the young Xialong is genuine."

"He must have happened to read a book before and was attracted by it, so he wanted to snatch it from my hand, just like when he tasted delicious food, he wanted to eat it together."

As soon as the Grand Secretary finished speaking, he saw through the telescope that Xia Bao threw his notebook aside, discarding it like a worn-out shoe, and then took out another notebook from under his wings and began to flip through it, looking like he couldn't put it down.

Although he knew that his notebook was new and had little content, he still couldn't help but wonder who wrote it that could attract Xia Long so much?

640

Chapter 640: Whose work could attract Xia Long so much interest?

"Where's my book? Where's my book?! Damn it, I haven't finished the Female Rathalos chapter yet!"

After searching the camp in vain, the female hunter submitted an application to enter the ancient forest. She searched along the route she had taken yesterday, wishing she could turn over and shake the ground of the ancient forest.

The content of that book was the result of her painstaking efforts. For the ecological content, she peeped at the reproduction of the bubble dragon group and even ventured close to the fire dragon's tree nest during the fire dragon's breeding season to eavesdrop on the female fire dragon's wails.

But now I don’t know where it went.

"Oh, I was thinking of starting the plot for Cinder Blade and Flame Queen Dragon after finishing the Female Rathalos chapter. Now that the Female Rathalos chapter is gone, I can start a new plot straight away!"

The female hunter stopped in front of the volcano, recalling the scene where the Dragon Slayer and the Flame Dragon cooperated so well, and began to think about what kind of positions the two could use.

Up and down? Or back to back? It's so hard to imagine!

She had originally planned to take on quests related to slaying dragons, the Flame Queen Dragon, or volcanoes to gain inspiration, but the volcano in front of her was designated a restricted area by the guild because it was too dangerous.

If she doesn't want to go in, then she won't go in. She will just take a look around and collect some herbs.

—In the volcano—

The Grand Secretary really wanted to dig out his eyes, stuff them into the telescope and look through them. He was really curious about what was in the book!

But I couldn't see clearly. At this distance, I couldn't make out the contents of the book at all. I could only see Xialong flipping through the pages back and forth.

"Can we sneak up on that Xialong?"

The Grand Secretary turned his head and asked the two people beside him.

Although he knew it was impossible when he asked, Xialong had an ultra-wide-angle vision and could easily detect any movement, but this did not prevent him from making a wish to the hunter.

The more powerful the hunter, the more effective the wishing machine will be in the eyes of dragon scholars!

"Uh……"

Dark Night and the Knight looked at each other, both showing embarrassed expressions.

"This Xialong is still a child, undoubtedly unique among the monster group. What he sees will inevitably have a profound impact on this adolescent Xialong's future. If we have the opportunity, we need to understand this impact. This is part of the investigation~"

The Grand Secretary tried hard to persuade them, and under his persuasion, the two recalled their experiences last night, and the broken jar was no longer important.

After a brief discussion, they made some improvements to the approach plan for Flame Dragon and applied it to Mist Dragon.

There was nothing they could do if Xialong wanted to run away, and they couldn't resort to violence. Since they couldn't hit someone else's child on someone else's territory, they could only let Xialong relax his guard and not run away as soon as he saw them.

At that time, the Grand Secretary took out a book and threw it to attract Xialong's attention, and then looked at the book that Xialong had dropped.

After high-fiving each other, the three began to approach Xialong cautiously.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.
