Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1371 The devilish old man!

The Azure Star was cruising high above the clouds.

This can save fuel to the greatest extent and avoid being easily affected by wind direction and weather.

At the same time, flying dragons that would pose a threat to airship navigation do not often come to this altitude, so it is relatively safe.

Of course there are disadvantages.

At this altitude, if there is even a little cloud cover, you really can't see anything below.

This is a huge test for navigators. If they cannot accurately calculate the track through the speed and direction of the aircraft, it is very easy to get lost.

Of course, these are not what hunters need to worry about.

They are killing time in their own ways.

Hayata wiped it carefully and meticulously maintained her katana, one after another. By the time she finished maintaining all of them, half a day had passed.

Nadia stood behind Pig Chop, watching it mixing the slime mold bomb in amazement. Later, she couldn't help it and asked for some materials and strains of fungus, and started tinkering with it herself.

Gordon was exercising his muscles, Ansel was checking the ammunition one by one, and Julius was testing Aiden's sword skills.

Fengying and Xianglan were squatting together eating snacks, and the crunching sound made Gordon's face turn black.

He didn't want to say anything at first, after all, everyone was just wasting time.

But after the man and the cat finished a basket of nuts, they went to get another basket with no intention of stopping.

Gordon finally couldn't help it, dropped the weights he used for exercise, and walked towards Fengying with his knuckles pinched.

Feng Ying realized that something was wrong, and quickly put the basket of snacks aside and raised her hands, "Wait, wait, there is a reason for this, let me explain!"

"Oh, go ahead."

"I'm hungry!"

"You didn't eat enough for lunch?"

"Well, I'm not hungry, or greedy? It doesn't seem like that either. How can I describe it?"

Feng Ying waved her hands and tried to describe it: "I just really want to eat. It's not that my stomach really feels empty, but I just want to replenish my energy.
I even wanted to grab the pork chop to make the nutrients for the slime bomb, although it seems that it is not drinkable."

"I'm just greedy, meow."

Xianglan licked the nut crumbs stuck on her fur and cleaned them off. "Nuts and candies, you'll get fat to death!"

"Would you like to eat with us too?!"

"what--"

Looking at the quarreling man and cat, Gordon sighed, feeling that it was not worth arguing with a fool.

"Stop eating, put the snacks back and go exercise. Aiden has been practicing sword for a long time." After a light reprimand, Gordon turned around and prepared to leave.

Fengying stuffed the basket of snacks into Xianglan's arms.

He stood up on his knees, mumbling, "I'm not hungry at all, why do I feel anxious about having to eat something to replenish my energy?"

Gordon paused and turned around. "What did you just say?"

Feng Ying, who was afraid that Gordon would be angry, quickly said, "Nothing! I'll go to training now!"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Gordon pressed his palm down, signaling Feng Ying not to panic, "You just mentioned anxiety. Does not eating make you anxious?"

"Um, is that feeling considered anxiety? It's like, I always feel like I can't calm down, a bit like wanting to yawn but not being able to?" Feng Ying tried to describe it.

Gordon's expression turned serious.

Something isn't quite right.

He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that this guy was just being lazy and was infected by Aibo.

But think deeply.

Feng Ying is no longer a child. Although she is a little jumpy at times, she is not a person with poor self-control and lack of concentration.

If you suddenly start eating snacks non-stop because you are greedy, it is possible.

But if I don’t eat, I’ll feel anxious?

"You go to the cabin first."

After saying this to Feng Ying, Gordon strode away.

Soon, several scholars including the professor and high-ranking hunters all gathered in the cabin, surrounded Feng Ying and stared at her.

Feng Ying huddled in a chair, dazed.

I just ate a little more snacks, that's all.
The others were also a little confused and didn't know what it meant. Gordon just said, "There's something going on with Feng Ying" and called them all over.

Gordon recounted what had just happened and said bluntly, "I suspect it was resonance."

Everyone fell into silence.

Everyone in the investigation team knew that Feng Ying resonated with the Dark Lantern Dragon.

The professor and his team were far away in the Old World at the time, but this point was also emphasized in the information report about the Dark Dragon, so they also knew about it.

"Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?" Aiden raised his hand and asked weakly.

Just a few more snacks
"No, Gordon's concerns are justified." The professor walked up to Feng Ying with a serious expression.

"Feng Ying once established resonance with the Dark Lantern Dragon, and the 'Dragon King' we are currently looking for is very likely to be an adult Dark Lantern Dragon.

Since they are the same species, it is not surprising that they resonate with each other again.”

After saying that, the professor waved his hand, motioning Feng Ying to bend down, then he pulled up her eyelids and examined her pupils and eyelids.

Ansir also frowned, "The cases of the Wind Dragon and the Thunder Dragon prove that even in a non-resonant state, the resonator may still be affected by certain emotions.

As sisters Huoya and Shuiyun mentioned, they are confused, angry, anxious, and empty.

"At the moment, we can't see anything from a physiological perspective. Everything is normal."

The professor pushed Feng Ying's face away and said, "This feeling of anxiety either comes from yourself or it's your body telling your brain that you need more energy and nutrition.

Or, as Gordon guessed, it was affected by resonant emotions.

How to verify it is also very simple.

Xiao Aibo, go ask the chef to get some high-calorie food."

"okay!"

Soon, Aibo came back.

She brought back a hunk of cheese, a jar of jam, and some ham to eat cold.

"Eat!" The professor pointed at the food and said as if giving an order.

".Can you at least give us some staple food to go with it?"

"No, these foods have the highest energy density, eat them quickly!" the professor urged.

Feng Ying made a bitter face, picked up the big piece of cheese, and began to chew it like bread. When she found it too salty, she scooped a spoonful of sweet jam to neutralize it.

After a while, Feng Ying, who had barely eaten two-thirds of the food, covered her mouth, as if the food would spray out of her throat if she didn't.

She had eaten a lot for lunch, and with that basket of dried fruit snacks, there wasn't much room in her stomach.

Then stuff those sweet and greasy things in there.
"No, I'm going to vomit if I eat any more."

Throwing the remaining food to Ai Bo and asking her to help finish it, the professor held Feng Ying's face, stared into her eyes, and asked seriously:

"Tell me, do you still have that anxiety that you have to replenish your energy?"

Feng Ying, who was half choked to death, rolled her eyes, felt it for a while, and nodded with difficulty.

"besides."

"really."

The professor nodded and said solemnly: "If you eat like this, your body will definitely not send signals to urge you to eat.

The feeling of anxiety you mentioned is indeed affected by external factors.

Well, this may be good news. We may be able to use this child as a compass.

Feel that feeling of anxiety carefully.

Can you sense the direction? I remember that pair of dragon-men twins could roughly sense the location of the resonating ancient dragon. You seem to be closely related?"

“I feel so nauseous and full that I can’t feel anything.”

"Is that so?" The professor thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the feedback from the body conflicts with the influence from the outside world, so the perception becomes confused. It is normal that you can't feel anything.

From now on, don't feed this child, let her starve first.

Unifying one's own hunger and desire for energy with the influence of external resonance may make one's perception more acute."

"You're a ghost! Are you a ghost?!"
