Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1396 Think of a way
For safety reasons, Hayata and Fengying hid beside the glacier that froze the Golden Lion and monitored it for two more hours.

After confirming that this unlucky golden lion would not break through the ice again and was completely dead, they left here with peace of mind and returned to the camp where the Blue Star was located.

It was already dawn when the two landed on the deck of the Azure Star.

Gordon, who hadn't slept much that night, waved at them. Seeing that the two didn't look injured, he raised his chin and asked, "Looks like everything went well?"

Feng Ying gave a thumbs up, "Of course!"

"Where's the material?" Gordon asked casually.

"." Feng Ying choked.

Hayata came over with a smile and told him everything she had experienced during the hunting of the golden lion.

"Did you really evolve successfully? And you even encountered the Ice Curse Dragon in the end?!" Gordon was stunned, "You guys had quite a rich experience tonight.

The Ice Curse Dragon. This should be the first ancient dragon species we have witnessed in the Gathering Land so far, right? There may be more in the future.

We need to tell the professors about this as soon as possible."

Hayata and the other nodded. Feng Ying also knew the importance of the matter, so she temporarily put aside the dragon's loin that she had been coveting all night.

After learning what happened last night, the professor seemed very concerned.

He adjusted his thick glasses. "The Ancient Dragon Observatory doesn't have many sightings of Ice Curse Dragons, but it can be generally confirmed that they are not the kind that are aggressive and ferocious."

"Is this true?" Feng Ying was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Just don't attack or provoke them." The professor squinted at her. "Even the most docile Qilin will summon a thunderstorm if it is offended."

"Well, that makes sense."

Feng Ying recalled the time when they first met the Ice Curse Dragon in the Molten Canyon a few months ago.

The Ice Curse Dragon didn't even look at them at first, it just took its own lava bath.

It seems that the initial battle was indeed provoked by them.
"But the excited golden lion didn't provoke it, did it?" Feng Ying continued: "It was just taking a hot spring bath."

"A powerful monster with crackling lightning all over its body and emitting a pungent smell of blood and stench is squatting in the pool in front of your house, taking a bath.

What do you think?" the professor asked.

"Okay." Feng Ying shrugged and spread her hands, "So, what should we do next?

Should we find a way to hunt down that Ice Curse Dragon, or just ignore it?"

Gordon and the others looked at the professor. This was also the question they wanted to ask.

"My advice is to avoid the Ice Curse Dragon's territory for the time being. If you encounter it unexpectedly, you should try your best to avoid a conflict.

This is the first species of ancient dragon. There will definitely be a second and a third one. We don’t have enough time and energy to fight these powerful ancient dragons.

You all know that these ancient creatures are mobile disasters, just like the existence of the Ice Curse Dragon, which will inevitably lead to the expansion of the snowy mountain area.

As more and more ancient dragon species come to this place where demons gather, they will inevitably compete with each other, and the conflicts and confrontations in the environment will become more and more serious.

The ecological environment of the demon gathering place will collapse faster.

If this can lead to the emergence of the 'Dragon King' and a battle between many ancient dragons and it, that would be the best of all."

Gordon and Julius exchanged glances.

The professor's suggestion was exactly what they wanted.

As the top hunting groups, Silver Edge and Pen Head both have the ability to hunt ancient dragons, but that means danger, danger that is fatal.

As captains, they are no longer at the age where they are easily carried away by passion. Unless it is necessary, no one is willing to risk the lives of their companions.

"So we'll still act according to the original plan, but with one more thing: be careful of the ancient dragons and try to avoid them, right?" Julius asked in a confirming manner.

"That's right." The professor nodded. "Everyone, do you have any questions?"

Feng Ying looked around and saw that no one else had questions to ask, so she raised her hand cautiously, "Well, I want to ask you something, although it has nothing to do with ancient dragons or anything like that."

"explain."

"That's right, that, um," Feng Ying stammered.

The professor turned around and was about to leave, but Feng Ying quickly grabbed him.

"Well, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask how to melt a glacier quickly."

"I guessed this would be the problem."

The teacher turned around and said, "You want to get the body of the passionate golden lion out as soon as possible so that you can get the materials, right?"

Feng Ying nodded quickly and carefully glanced at the professor's face, "You're not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" The professor looked at her strangely.

Oh, right?

Feng Ying blinked. She hadn't done anything bad or stupid. The corpse of the Excited Golden Lion was also a legitimate trophy. Why should she worry about the old man getting angry?
The professor spread out the map, pointed to an area, and asked, "The glacier that froze the golden lion is located here, right?"

Feng Ying came over and after carefully identifying the terrain, she nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, that's it! There are some hot spring pools nearby, I remember them very clearly."

“That’s easy, you can find a way to divert the nearby hot spring water to the bottom of the glacier.

Or you can ask cats and dogs to help explore whether there are underground springs near the glacier, and use some explosives to open a spring.

If there is a steady flow of hot water, a glacier of that size should be able to melt by nearly half in a few days, or at most a week or two.

You'd better take time to go and check it out every day. When the ice is about to melt near the golden lion's body, take the initiative to destroy the remaining ice to prevent the body from being eaten by other monsters passing by."

Feng Ying jumped up and down excitedly, "You are indeed a scholar! You have a sharp mind, and this method is much better than what I thought!"

"What solution have you come up with?" the professor asked curiously.

"Just lure an explosive dragon over here and let it bomb the glacier!"

Gordon touched his nose. After listening to Feng Ying's story about the golden lion's body being trapped in the glacier, the first thought that popped into his mind was to lure a dragon over to smash the glacier.

The professor's face darkened. "Aren't you afraid of attracting the Ice Curse Dragon and adding another iceberg over there?"

"That's right, hehe, thank you, old man!"

After saying thank you, Feng Ying jumped and ran away, her target was the kitchen.

There were pork chops and dragon loin that the chef had slow-roasted overnight at a low temperature waiting for her. Just thinking about it made her drool!

After sharing the information that needed to be shared, the hunters prepared to disperse.

Bitou was going to continue their hunting mission today, while Yinbian planned to let Hayata and Fengying catch up on their sleep and set off again in the afternoon.

The leader of the third group suddenly called out to them.

"By the way, there was a letter sent from the Star Base last night, which mentioned that the airship carrying supplies will arrive in the next two days."

The hunters were somewhat confused.

The information that supplies are about to be delivered is important and unimportant. The coordination of materials does not seem to be something that hunters like them should be responsible for.

The leader of the third group swung the slender pipe in his hand and continued, "Before, we sent a letter to Xingchen requesting more manpower support.

So this time, the alcohol hunting group will also come along with the supply ship.

Oh, yes, and Miss Gale, it is said that she went to ask the commander-in-chief and asked to come here on her own initiative."

At this point, the leader of the Third Regiment paused for two seconds and looked at Ansir, "The reason she gave the commander-in-chief was that she missed you."

Anshil: “.”

Do you believe that man’s lies?
