Monster life starting from picking up materials

Even though the female Xialong put away her long tongue and stopped whipping, it did not mean the end. A thick column of venom, or a huge ball of venom, was spit out from her mouth, accelerating the corrosion of the wounds caused by the tongue.

"Wow wow wow~"

Seeing this, Xiabao also became excited, rushed out and started waving his long tongue.

Our Xialong can also be super powerful!

The female fire dragon finally reacted, turned her head to look at her tail, and spewed out a blazing fireball from her mouth, burning towards her long tongue.

Finally, Ji Jie retracted his tongue, and the embarrassed Purple Poison Princess no longer had the will to fight. She was no longer the shrew she was at the beginning. She flapped her wings and flew into the air, climbing higher, trying to escape from here.

At this moment, a long sword was thrown into the air, and the amber blade rotated in the moonlight, as quiet as water.

But the long tongue, which was constantly accelerating, tore through the tranquility and hit the hilt while the sword was spinning.

The kinetic energy of the long tongue that exceeded the speed of sound was inherited by the sword, turning it into a sword light afterimage and piercing straight into the abdomen of the female fire dragon.

"Hang!"

Purple Poison Princess, who had not yet climbed to a safe height, wailed as she fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

Before the female fire dragon could get up and fight back, Ji Jie stretched out his long tongue and wrapped it around its neck, pulling it in front of him. He raised his claws and brought them down heavily, breaking its neck.

The crisp sound made the female Xialong shrink her neck, and her eyes fell on the hilt of the knife on the female fire dragon's abdomen. Recalling the blow that broke through the air, her eyes lit up, and she stuck out her tongue and wrapped it around the hilt, wanting to pull it out and take it for herself.

I picked it up!

"Wow wow wow!"

But under Xia Bao's angry accusation, and in order to prevent the dragon-to-dragon phenomenon from occurring in the lower sword, Ji Jie slapped the female Xia Long's big tail with his tongue.

You know what, it feels really good to smoke this!

"Wow~"

The female Xialong howled, shrank under Ji Jie's gaze, and silently put down her sword.

With a quick glance, his eyes locked onto the fishing rod that had fallen to the ground.

In her eyes, there was no difference between a katana and a fishing rod, and she picked it up with her tongue.

Chapter 648 Who else wants to tell a story?

The moonlight was reflected on the lake, and the blue stars streaked across the tranquil water. After a long time, the hunter, who had been holding his breath underwater for a long time, dared to stick his head out from under the duckweed to spy on the movements on the shore.

The female fire dragon and the rosy dragon disappeared. He breathed softly and spied for a while before slowly climbing ashore, still holding a large carnivorous fish in his hand that had bitten him and was knocked unconscious.

If Ji Jie were still here, he would probably sigh, "He is indeed a super fisherman who fishes as easily as drinking water. Even when hiding in the water, he never forgets to use himself as bait."

The shore was in a mess. His tent was blown down by the wind during the battle, and the fish were overturned one by one. The fish in it no longer had the strength to jump around, and stared at the sky with their dying eyes.

After looking around nervously, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, scooped up water with the bucket, and picked up the fish one by one back into the bucket. The remaining water was enough for him to complete the food commission.

Then he began to gather the things in his tent.

There weren't many things, most of which were not destroyed in the battle, so they were quickly put into the bag, along with the buckets of fish, mixed with some odor-removing balls to prevent the dog dragon from smelling the fishy smell.

Finally, he began to carefully collect traces on the ground. The venom had dried up, but the defeated female fire dragon dropped a lot of scraps of materials, which were equivalent to the rewards of two fishing commissions, not to mention that they could be exchanged for investigation contributions.

For hunters from powerful factions, investigation points are more useful than money.

The only pity was that he couldn't find his fishing rod and felt very lost for a moment.

After calming down, he rushed towards the camp's defense line, while editing the report he was about to submit in his mind.

There was a battle between the Xialong and the female Rathalos, and a pale blue light that seemed to be the activity of the Dark Lantern Dragon... By the time I returned to the camp and submitted my commission and eyewitness report, it was already noon, so I had a good meal at the camp's cat chef.

Two diners sitting at a table in the dining area caught his attention. One was a university scholar from the Dragon Calendar Academy, and sitting opposite the scholar was a female hunter. The atmosphere between them seemed a little solemn?

"Last night, I was attacked by a Xialong."

Doris looked around for a while before finally speaking. After all, she was the one who invited the other party.

"Hmmmm... eh?! At night, at camp?"

The Grand Secretary had already cleared his mind, and was trying to ignore it. He was also reviewing why he wanted to run away last night, and decided that as long as he was not embarrassed, he should be the other person.

But after the words went out of the right ear, they were pulled back by the brain. He chewed on the information contained in them carefully, and then couldn't help but burst out a dragon-man curse in his heart, and a sharp explosion came out of his mouth, attracting many people to look over.

"What kind of Xialong?"

He lowered his voice and looked at the huntress seriously, as if asking her why she didn't call for help at that time.

This is a matter of regulations. If the camp encounters a large monster, a warning should be issued immediately. With so many hunters in the camp, it is not difficult to drive away a Xialong.

"A big head got into my tent. I couldn't see its size, but it was wearing two curved steel plates,"

Doris began to gesture with her arms to measure size, "As soon as the head came in, it covered me with its tongue, and it kept doing so for quite a while."

She touched her face again, regretting a little that she didn't bite him.

The Grand Secretary imagined the situation at that time, sighed, and did not continue to ask questions. He just listened silently to Doris continue speaking.

His expression gradually became more interesting, until he saw Doris shyly take out her notebook, and he could no longer hold it in:

"You're saying... that Xialong sneaked into the camp and stuck its head into your tent just to return the book to you, and also gave you a dragon secret treasure to encourage you to continue writing?"

After saying this long string in a low voice, the Grand Secretary seemed to be burned out, his eyes dimmed, and he looked dazed and confused.

Don't think of other creatures as too low-level, let alone the Xialong among the ancient dragons, but to be able to understand this logic and act, there must be guidance from a high dragon behind it.

A glint of insight flashed in the Grand Secretary's eyes. He stretched out his hands and looked at the female hunter seriously.

"What do you think?"

Noticing the huntress's nervousness, the Grand Maester sat back in his chair.

"Relax, eat something first, don't be nervous, just treat it as a heart-to-heart talk, a simple chat, I will support you."

As he spoke, the old dragon man smiled warmly, cut off a piece of meat with a dinner knife and tasted it.

"Your drawings are very good, especially the anthropomorphic expressions of the monsters. Monsters do have real emotions, but unfortunately, most of the time, we can only face the most terrifying side they show to the outside world."

There was a kind light on the scholar's face. Compared with what happened last night, the embarrassment about the content of the book was not worth mentioning.

Doris tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and casually cut the steak on the plate, as if she was cutting her own mood.

Three parts panic, three parts anxiety, three parts complacency, and the last part was a strange feeling that she herself couldn't explain.

"So, will you continue painting?"

The Grand Secretary saw something, and there was pure inquiry in his eyes.

"I'm already continuing to paint..."

The complacent part of me is constantly expanding. The work that was originally just for my own entertainment can actually be praised, rewarded, and urged to be developed.

She recalled the emotions in the dragon's eyes, and thought of the excitement in his eyes after he gave her the notebook and then took it back. She had gained both material and spiritual rewards from this incident. It was logical and emotional, so why not continue writing?

As panic and anxiety continued to accumulate, she even began to look forward to when Xialong would read next time.

"Ancient dragons and humans don't necessarily have the same concept of time."

The Grand Secretary saw the young man's swell of pride and silently poured a basin of cold water on him.

Yes, what if after so much has changed? I am not even a fraction of her long life, can her work really wait?

Deyi was met with a backlash of panic and anxiety, suffered from continuous backlogs, and soon lost all his original one-third of the land.

The Grand Secretary watched the female hunter struggle and thought of the cause and effect between humans and dragons in history, and the transformation of auspiciousness and disaster.

But disasters have been repelled time and time again, all because of the monster hunters.

"I'll keep painting."

Doris remembered that her original purpose was to entertain herself, so why did she feel so lost now?

"What does the Longli Academy and the Guild think?"

She asked tentatively to the university scholar in front of her.

"Xialongs come and go without a trace. They always come and go without a trace. Their contact with you is not yours, not the guild's, but theirs. But don't forget your duties as a hunter."

The Grand Secretary said this, but what he was thinking about was not just the half-grown Xialong, or even just the monster group.

In short, the guild can only turn a blind eye to such passive contact.

Next, the two chatted casually, and the Grand Secretary talked about some of the ecological things he had heard and seen, which made Doris look at him as if to say, "So you are this kind of person, sir."

The relaxed Grand Secretary was no longer as thick-skinned as a city wall, and was stared at until his face turned red. Until a new investigation report was sent by the scholars, there was a clue of a battle between a mature Xia dragon and a female fire dragon, and there were also sightings of light that looked like a Hades Lantern Dragon.

The Grand Secretary went to study the traces and materials collected, while Doris stayed at the table thinking about the Xia Dragon and the female fire dragon, wondering if there was a unique bond between the poisonous creatures.

--the other side--

In the volcanic cave, Xia Bao was fiddling with the female fire dragon corpse he had brought back, while Ji Jie was tinkering with Xia Bao's helmet, continuously generating various kinds of electricity for the helmet.

The skin tissue that Xiabao shed did react to the electric current, slowly becoming transparent and "melting into one" with the steel underneath, with a distinct reflection, making it more conspicuous.

The reason why it is integrated with the steel instead of the ground is because the dead skin covers the steel instead of wrapping it, and the contact surface is with the steel.

Thinking of this, Ji Jie dug out the four gloves left over from Xia Bao's shed skin. Although they were called gloves, they had actually never been used as tableware.

Now, he plans to unfold them and completely wrap them around the steel.

Half of the skin was unfolded, and the outline of Xiabao could be vaguely seen. It was much smaller than the current Xiabao.

He couldn't help but look at Xia Bao with a smile, but when he saw what Xia Bao was doing, his smile froze unconsciously.

At this time, the half-grown Xialong pressed its head against the belly of the dead Purple Poison Queen, and used its claws and tongue to scratch the female fire dragon's cloacal cavity.

"What are you doing!!!"

Ji Jie screamed, and Xia Bao raised her head in shock. Nana also sat up and looked around, then lay back down calmly, without any disturbance.

Xia Bao looked at him innocently and obediently, with only curiosity about the ecology of biological structure in his eyes. He just wanted to study the truth of the content in the book.

The well-behaved and innocent look in Ji Jie's eyes made him feel suffocated. He just understood that he had to be extremely careful when reading books to children.

But when he looked at the mutilated body of the female fire dragon, whose back had long been bitten open by Nana and the most delicious tenderloin had been taken away, he felt that this was not something worth avoiding.

After all, this female fire dragon is just food, so it is better to teach it seriously to alleviate Xia Bao's excessive curiosity.

So, Ji Jie walked to Xia Bao's side and began to teach him monster physiology. At the same time, he looked at Xia Bao now, who was much bigger than when he first met him.

It grows so fast. It is foreseeable that Xiabao will have a body size that surpasses its peers in the future!

But there was a big problem in teaching. Xiabao always wanted to lick it with his tongue, replicating the process of "entering" in the picture book.

Ji Jie swung his tail and hit Xia Bao's big tail, scaring him so much that he stood at attention and retracted his tongue.

"This is where monsters excrete. It's very dirty. Don't lick it with your tongue!"

The pain in his tail was still there, and Xia Bao nodded obediently. Then he was dragged away from the belly of the female fire dragon and came to the place where the helmet and Xia Long gloves were placed.

After putting Xia Bao aside, Ji Jie transformed into a mantis and began to pull the small gloves to unfold them. He then used silk thread to stick them to the helmet and wrapped the edge of the steel plate.

He then transformed into a Thunder Wolf Dragon and began to generate electricity.

The skin tissue wrapped around the edge of the steel plate slowly changed color, merging with the dark red rock and gradually spreading to the entire helmet.

It was successful, but the problems were also very obvious.

The surface is only red, which cannot simulate the texture of rock. There are also flaws at the joints, which is probably due to the poor transmission of electric current.

Ji Jie thought of the function of Thunder Wolf Dragon's hair in storing and amplifying electricity, so he directly took some hair from his own Thunder Wolf Dragon form, and then spread it between the skin tissue and the steel plate through the Mantis form.

"That should be fine. Next time you shed your skin, you can use larger pieces of material, and it won't be so ugly."

As he spoke, he held up the helmet to help Xia Bao put it on, then helped to reinforce it, and began to watch Xia Bao change color.

The color of the environment slowly spread over Xialong's body, and encountered a slight blockage when it touched the armor, and directly passed it over.

After a slight delay, it seemed that the bioelectricity that penetrated the body's surface had completed its accumulation, and the color of the helmet finally changed.

The Xialong blends in with the environment, and the helmet covered with the Xialong armor skin blends in with the Xialong. After all, it is dead skin, so the effect cannot be as good as the Xialong itself, but it will not leave a helmet floating around.

After a few final simple adjustments, you’re done!

Ji Jie brought Xia Bao to the water source so that he could see the changes in his helmet.

The Xialong Big Head with a helmet just turned into an ordinary Xialong Big Head!
