Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1406 Are You Being a Little Too Extreme?

"The Ice Curse Dragon that lurks in the ice and snow zone, the unknown creature that caused severe lightning damage to the Tyrannosaurus that appeared in the Coral Plateau, most likely a Kirin or a Naga Dragon, the Hachus that hides deep in the miasma zone, the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon that appeared in the sky above the wasteland zone and headed towards the volcanic zone, and the Nergigante that chased them.
Most of the traces of these ancient dragon species have appeared in recent times.

Whether they are elderly individuals who migrated from the Old World under the influence of the ancient dragon crossing, or they came here specifically for some other reason.

There are already six or even more ancient dragons gathered on this not-too-vast piece of land. It is hard for me to imagine how the ecological cycle here can be maintained.

This place where demons gather is about to be in chaos, hehe." The professor stroked his beard and laughed in a low voice.

This old guy smiles like a villain.

Feng Ying muttered to herself but didn't dare to speak out loud.

But on second thought, the purpose of himself and others was to destroy the ecological environment of the demon gathering place.

If we look at it from the perspective of that Dragon King, we are indeed the bad guys, aren't we?

"So, what should we do next?"

Gordon asked, “Under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible to continue to avoid the attention of those ancient dragons and continue hunting.

If we need to continue, we must be prepared to fight the ancient dragons."

"That's right." Julius continued, "Hunting in the territory considered by the ancient dragons is likely to be considered a provocation.

Although targeted hunting has not yet been carried out in the volcanic zone, the miasma zone, and the ice and snow zone.

But considering the subsequent risks, I personally do not recommend that this continuous hunting operation continue."

Ted looked around and said, "I had the same idea!"

Faced with the opinions of the three hunting team captains, "implicitly opposed to continuing", "explicitly opposed to continuing", and "whatever you say is what it is!", the professor nodded without much hesitation.

"The continuous hunting and elimination of large monsters has been temporarily suspended. Under the current circumstances, it is not worth taking the risk."

Hearing what the professor said, Gordon and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if these teams faced those "less outrageous" ancient dragon species, they could hunt them with more confidence.

But it is only "more certain".

It is better not to touch the risks involved if it is not necessary.

"But not hunting large monsters doesn't mean we won't take action at all."

The professor continued, "You should take a few days off to relax and adjust your condition, and also give the new ancient dragons some time to 'stabilize'.

Next, I hope you can stir up some trouble through covert actions."

"Causing trouble?" Gordon asked uncertainly, "Can you be more specific?"

"Um"

The professor pondered for a few seconds and said, "To give a simple example, Feng Ying's action this time was done very beautifully.

Not only did it successfully lure the Angry Tyrannosaurus into the miasma zone, but it also triggered a fight between the Tyrannosaurus and the Hazak.

That Hazak should not be an outsider. Research so far has shown that Hazak is one of the important factors in the formation of miasma.

In other words, it plays an extremely critical role in maintaining the energy circulation in the miasma zone and even the entire demon gathering place.

As for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is unlikely that it can kill the Hazak directly, after all, the miasma zone is the latter's home ground.

However, if the goal is to seriously injure the Carcharodontosaurus or even drive it out of its nest, it is entirely possible for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to do so.

As a result, the environment of the miasma zone will also be affected, and may even cause large-scale ecological changes."

"A chain reaction? Indeed, the ecological status of the Hachus is quite special." Ansel nodded.

"Just like the Hazak dragon in the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley, it is closely related to the energy cycle of the entire New World."

"Well, that's what I mean."

The professor adjusted his glasses and looked at the hunters, "Use various methods, whether it is provocation or inducement, to make these ancient dragon species that can have a serious impact on the environment move.

Further damage to the ecological environment of the Gathering Demon Land, which seems normal but is actually on the verge of collapse. "

"If that's the case, we have to plan carefully." An Xier pinched his chin, "The ancient dragon species has a very high IQ.

The method of just hitting them twice and then dragging them to find trouble with other ancient dragons will not work on ancient dragons.

We need to use smarter and more subtle methods.”

"For example?" Feng Ying asked curiously.

"For example, didn't you see a battle between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Hazak? There must be some dragon blood, broken scales and other remnants there.

Go collect some and throw them into the lava zone bordering the miasma zone.

Since the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon have come to the place where demons gather, they will definitely regard the lava area as their territory.

They will not allow the presence of other ancient dragon species in their territory and will most likely go to the border area to check.

This creates the potential for conflict.”

"You're so mean, but I like it." Gale laughed, "But then again, the Hazak uses the microorganisms in the miasma to extract nutrients and energy from the corpses.

That guy can't move out of the miasma zone, right?

In addition, both Hazak and the microorganisms that make up the miasma are afraid of high temperatures, so Flame King Dragon is its natural nemesis, so it will probably avoid the latter."

"indeed."

Anxier's face remained calm as he continued, "So while using the Hazak's aura to anger the Flame King Dragon, we also need to add some weight to the Hazak.

I plan to go to the Miasma Valley and collect some fungal spores.

When we fought off the Misty Corpse Dragon, we tried our best to burn the spores, but some still remained.

We then artificially provide some favorable conditions to help the Hazak dragons in the miasma zone of the Gathering Demon Land to complete symbiosis with the spores, thereby "creating" a Misty Hazak dragon.

In this way, it has the capital to compete with the Flame King Dragon.

Even if we can't defeat it, it has gained the ability to leave the miasma zone and can run to various areas of the demon gathering place to spread the plague.

Aside from ancient dragons and a few monsters with exceptionally strong physical abilities, most creatures probably won't be able to survive. This is much more efficient than hunting them one by one."

Gale, who was smiling just now, froze. ". Damn it, aren't you taking this a bit too extreme?"

"I also think that if the plague spreads from the Demon Gathering Land, perhaps the entire New World will suffer." Hayata also disagreed with this plan.

The professor had a strange expression on his face.

He didn't think that the scope of the miasma plague caused by the Mist Corpse Dragon would expand too much.

Unlike giant dense forests like the Ancient Tree Forest, the Demon Gathering Land is much smaller in area, and as an island, the environment is quite closed.

In addition, there are more than one ancient dragon species in the Demon Gathering Land. If it spreads plague and grows mushrooms everywhere, the other ancient dragons will not agree.

It is estimated that as soon as the plague starts to spread, the other ancient dragons will join forces to destroy it along with the Corpse Hazard.

Not to mention the "behind the scenes" of the Demon Gathering Land, and the "Dragon King" who created all this.

If the fish tank is full of algae, you have to change the water and use some medicine. As the "owner", you have to show your head and clean it up, right?
Wait, that seems like a good thing?
A little bit moved
