Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1364: The Way of the Savage

The head of the research class is a guy who pursues speed and efficiency.

I had heard this from Master Gordon and Alva before, but today, Feng Ying finally understood its meaning.

It's really fast.
Go back to your residence, get a weapon, and equip yourself with protective gear.

He had completed the mission delegation procedures and prepared various items such as sleds, supplies, etc. for the trip.

When Feng Ying arrived at the agreed meeting place, he had already taken the time to measure Xiao Zi's physical data.

"Its body length is 1,960 centimeters, which is close to the maximum individual size of the species. Its claws and teeth have fully grown, and its cryoprotectant glands are abnormally developed.

If the end of its coccyx wasn't still a little soft, I wouldn't have believed it was less than six years old.

Judging from the population average, this developmental state is no longer "excellent" but "abnormal".

Hmm? You mean, the abnormal development of the cryogenic glands occurred after being seriously injured by the Ice Curse Dragon?

This is a really interesting phenomenon. It's a pity that we didn't notice it earlier, otherwise we should have sent someone to observe and record this process.

The most special research object is right beside me, but I didn’t notice it. Alas——”

After exchanging a few words with Xixi, the monitor of the research class showed not regret but heartache on his face.

"It feels like a middle-aged dragon man version of Alva."

Feng Ying was lassoing the sled for Amber while muttering to herself, "Come to think of it, this guy seems to be Alva's idol?

I hope Aibo won't become like this in the future.
Hey! The sled is ready, are you ready to go?"

"Wait a minute, give me five more minutes."

As he spoke, the dragon scholar quickly measured and recorded the purple wind dragon's tail length, ankle bone dimensions, wingspan membrane width and other detailed data for later comparison.

"Ah, you're trying the same thing with me too." Feng Ying rolled her eyes.

Alva kept shouting "Five minutes!" "The last five minutes!" "This is really the last five minutes!", but he wouldn't move unless force was resorted to.

However, she didn't expect it.

The leader of the research team was very quick and finished the measurement work within five minutes without any delay. He packed up his pens, ink and notebooks and got on the sled.

"No wonder you are the monitor of the research class!" Feng Ying patted the middle-aged scholar's shoulder vigorously, with a look that said "I recognize you".

The head of the research class smiled at her, but didn't care about her disrespectful behavior.

"Let's go!" Feng Ying shouted.

Amber roared and accelerated, pulling the sled across the thick and soft snow.

There were only Feng Ying and the research class leader on the sled, as well as a mushroom. The amount of supplies was not much, just enough for a few days, so Amber ran very easily.

The wonderful sight of the snowy forest with white snow and black trees turned into a blurry afterimage, constantly flying backwards.

The ice jackals wandering among the bushes in the snow were startled. They lowered their bodies and let out demonstrative roars, but were thrown away by the sled in the blink of an eye.

Feng Ying laughed, stretched out her hand and made a rude gesture at them.

A huge purple shadow swooped down and passed very low over the heads of the group of ice jackals.

The extremely cold frost covered the herd of beasts, and in the blink of an eye, those ignorant ice jackals were frozen into ice sculptures in the snowy forest.

"Ah! Don't do such dangerous things, Xiao Zi!" The蛛蛛, lying on the dragon's back, hit the flying dragon's head with the flute hammer he carried with him.

At her urging, the purple wind dragon let out a long cry, broke through the blockade of the not-so-dense canopy of the cedar, and climbed into the sky.

"Wow! You can really fly on a dragon." Feng Ying on the sled raised her head high and cast an envious look towards the sky.

Pterosaurs can also fly. The winter pterosaurs in the Moon Base have been trained very well, but can the feeling of hanging under a pterosaur be the same as riding a pterosaur and flying in the sky? !
Furthermore, the time and energy costs of taming pterosaurs in batches and carefully raising a flying dragon from eggs are simply not on the same level.

Not everyone can raise a ferocious and arrogant flying dragon.

The蛺蛺 that came from Fenglong Forest has mastered too many skills that ordinary people cannot understand. Ordinary people can't even think of it, and it is extremely difficult for them to do it.

While Feng Ying looked up at the sky, the monitor of the research class kept his eyes on the ice jackals that were frozen into ice sculptures until they disappeared at the end of his sight.

"So that's why. No wonder Miss Qiqi always stays by my side." He said to himself.

"What did you say?" Feng Ying asked curiously.

"That purple wind dragon is more dangerous than I thought. I was too careless just now." Looking up at the huge figure soaring in the sky, the head of the research class breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I was measuring its body data just now, Miss Qiqi kept holding its head. I just thought it was a 'deep mother-daughter love', so they stuck together and refused to separate.

Now it seems that Miss Qiqi is suppressing Feng Piaolong's desire to attack."

"what?"

The dragon scholar pushed up his glasses and said, "Do you know how we domesticated pterosaurs?"

"Well, Master Gordon seemed to have told me that the first step is to beat them. Beat them until they are scared and dare not attack humans again. That is the first step."

"Yes, that's right. To put it bluntly, this step is to castrate the wildness. Compared with wild pterosaurs, the pterosaurs tamed by the investigation team are stronger and larger, but not as aggressive. They are used to being fed.

However, the way Miss Gu Gu trained the Wind Dragon, or in other words, the way the people of the Sea of ​​Trees tamed animals, was completely different.

When the wind dragon was just two or three meters long and began to grow sharp teeth, Miss Gu Gu took it to live in the wild.

Although it is unknown how she did it, as a human, she actually taught the dragon how to fly, how to hunt, and even how to fight other large monsters.

It is also because of this that, influenced by the Earth-Crying Dragon, after leaving the ancient tree forest, even though it was expelled from the tribe because of its unusual skin color, it was able to survive well alone in the wild without any need to adapt.

In fact, when it comes to aggressiveness, it may be stronger than ordinary wild individuals.

But no other Wind Dragon dared to resist the Ice Curse Dragon, only it rushed forward."

“That’s true.”

"The same goes for the ice jackals that were frozen into ice sculptures just now. They were not there for hunting, and it had nothing to do with self-defense or anything like that.

It killed them at random simply out of a playful attitude. Even among the flying dragons, only the ones with the worst personalities would do this.

Would you allow your hound to suddenly pounce on a elven deer passing through the woods and bite it to death just for fun?

Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, "Well, then I might beat it."

"Right? This is our conventional thinking, but Miss Qiqi was just angry at the dangerous behavior of the purple wind dragon flying at low altitude, so she urged it to climb quickly and return to high altitude.

She knew all of this, and even actively encouraged it, with the goal of training that purple wind dragon to become a true king of the sky. "

"You make me sound evil."

“It cannot be said to be evil, it can only be said that we who grew up in a civilized society have different moral concepts and ways of thinking from the people of the Sea of ​​Trees who believe in the survival of the fittest.

Miss Xixi has paid close attention to these things.

During the time when the Fengpiaolong was recuperating in Yuechen, she stayed with it every step of the way. After the dragon recovered, she brought it to live in a snowy forest some distance away from Yuechen.

This is to prevent the purple wind dragon from being unable to suppress its ferocity and causing an attack."

Hearing what the class leader said, Feng Ying couldn't help but recall that when Xiao Zi had just woken up, Xixi had only been away for a short while and it became restless.

At the time I thought it was just clinging too much to its "mother", but now it seems that it might have wanted to bite someone.
"But then again, Xiao Zi is quite obedient in front of us?" Feng Ying stroked her smooth chin.

".That's because it knows you can chop off its head easily."
