Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1420 Furry

Day two.

Feng Ying still accepted the task given by the professor, which was to continue observing the Hachus for a period of time and confirm the fungal inoculation situation.

She has had contact with the Hazak and got along quite well with it, so she can be said to be the only person suitable for this task.

Even the stench that is not easy to get rid of may be a plus in front of the Corpse Hazak.

So the professor decided to entrust not only the current observation task, but also the subsequent strain cultivation and even the task of guiding the evolved Hazak into the forest to Feng Ying.

If hunters from other factions go, it may cause conflict, but if Fengying is sent, there will be no such worry.

Feng Ying had no choice but to return to the miasma area with a bitter face.

The guide insects in the portable guide insect cage have already memorized the breath of the Corpse Hazard.

Following the guidance of the guide insect, a man, a dog and a cat rushed towards the area where the Corpse Hazak was.

When I saw the Hazak again, it was surrounded by the group of Decapods.
In the eyes of these ferocious and greedy pack predators, there is no difference between ancient dragons and flying dragons.

As long as they were careful to avoid the blue-white miasma, the threat posed by the seriously injured Corpse Hazak was relatively limited, and there was no strange "bodyguard" by its side.

Then how about continuing to try to hunt down the Lord of Miasma?

The Corpse Hazak, which had just been inoculated with the strain, had not yet undergone any obvious changes.

Fortunately, after encountering Feng Ying yesterday, it sucked the nutrients from the two carnosaurs, gained some precious breathing time, and recovered from its injuries.

In addition, it changed its strategy and no longer fought back against the group of Carcharodontosaurus by breathing out miasma. Instead, it let the blue-white miasma surround its body, forcing the Carcharodontosaurus to not dare to approach easily.

It was a fight between two evenly matched people.

When he saw Feng Ying coming, he actually raised his head and let out a hissing sound as if to say hello.

"giuuu~"

"Uh." Feng Ying didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Anyway, it’s always a good idea to drive away these forgetful Carcharodontosaurus first!
She raised her shield, drew her sword, and rushed towards the Horrorclaws that were surrounding the Corpse Dragon.

With the experience of yesterday's cooperation, they easily broke through the siege formation of the Claw Dragons.

After leaving behind another companion's corpse that had turned into a mummy, the group of Carnosaurs retreated in a hurry.

The Corpse Hazak Dragon and Feng Ying stared at each other for a few seconds. Then the Corpse Hazak Dragon absorbed the green and white miasma back into its body, and Feng Ying also put away her weapon.

"Gi——"

The Corpse Hazak tilted its head curiously, as if asking Feng Ying, why are you here again?

The same action might be really cute if done by a hound or some other furry animal.

But when it comes to the skinny, rotten flesh, and poisonous teeth of the corpse dragon, it can't even close its mouth completely.
Still not cute.

Feng Ying twitched the corner of her mouth, "Don't move yet, let me check your body."

It is said to be a physical examination, but in fact it is to confirm the inoculation status of the strain.

According to the professor, as long as new hyphae grow and spread to the dead flesh around the inoculation site, it should mean initial success.

Feng Ying first checked the head of the Corpse Hazak.

This is where the first bottle of sample was poured.

The rotten matter that served as the culture medium had long since merged with the rotten flesh tissue of the Corpse Hazak itself.

The sticky hyphae disappeared, replaced by a thin green substance similar to fluff.

It looks very much like the mildew spots that grow on watery fruits.

Faced with this rather disgusting scene, Feng Ying's heart remained calm.

She had gotten used to it. The fall from the corpse-hook dragon's back yesterday had completely desensitized her.

"This should be considered a success." Feng Ying muttered, took out a portable camera, and took a picture of the green hair on the top of the corpse dragon's head.

The strange noises and flashes it had never heard of scared the Hazak, but when it realized nothing had happened, it calmed down again.

Feng Ying circled around the Corpse Hazak and took pictures of every area where the strain had been inoculated yesterday.

She hadn't wanted to jump onto the Hazak's back again.

I have to wash off another layer of skin when I get back.

But considering that this plan is very critical and cannot be taken lightly, we have no choice but to do it.

After careful inspection, it was found that the mycelium in most parts had not been killed by the microorganisms in the miasma, and had successfully landed and begun to spread.

Especially the wound areas on the head, back, and side ribs, the growth is quite good.

This is undoubtedly good news.

So far, today's observation and task have been completed. Now go back and take a good bath. No one will say anything if I touch the fish for a long time.

But Feng Ying didn't do that in the end.

He accompanied the Hazak in the intricate caves of the miasma zone for most of the day, and drove away the unwilling Claw Dragon that was hiding nearby.

Only then did I leave with peace of mind.

On the third day she came again.

In addition to checking the proliferation of the strains on the corpse dragon, they also brought a nutrient solution specially prepared by the professor.

Pouring it on the area where mycelium grows can accelerate its proliferation.

Fourth day.

They took great efforts to lure the wandering angry Tyrannosaurus to the west of the miasma zone to compete with the sulfur-slashing dragon for territory.

The Hazak was also able to return to its original lair.

Day 5, Day 6.
Just like that, more than a week passed, and under Feng Ying's protection, the Hazak's injuries had almost recovered.

The progress of fungal proliferation is also quite gratifying, it really becomes "furry".

But those hairs are really creepy to look at.

In the mountain-like skull of the Molnosaur, the Corpse Habitat is lying coiled up, and this is its "bed".

Throwing away the last empty bottle of nutrient solution in her hand, Feng Ying folded her arms across her chest and sat cross-legged in front of its face.

"gi——" The Corpse Hazak hissed softly, as if to say thank you.

Feng Ying smacked her lips and said, "Although you are a little ugly and smell a little strong, your personality is actually quite cute."

It was unclear whether the Corpse Hazak understood or not. It opened its mouth and spit out a white mist of spores, which sprayed onto Fengying's face.

"Cough cough cough" Feng Ying coughed and waved away the spores. She raised her leg angrily and kicked the tip of the Hazak's nose, "I'm going to kill you!"

"gegege" a meaningless low growl came from the Corpse Hazak's throat.

"Well, your injuries should have almost recovered. Those Claw Dragons can't bully you anymore."

Feng Ying supported herself on her knees, stood up, and continued, "The food has been stored, so don't go out until you complete the evolution.

Don't provoke that angry Tyrannosaurus. That guy has a scary amount of muscle and a high intensity of dragon energy in his body. Miasma is of no use to him.

We have led it to the west, so try not to get close to that area. After it has fought the Sulphur Dragon, it should leave the miasma zone and go to the wasteland."

"gi——" the Corpse Hazak responded, as if it really understood.

"I have to go. If I continue staying like this, mushrooms will grow on my scalp." Feng Ying shook her hair to get rid of the spores that were stuck to the ends of her hair.

"When I see you next time, you should have become a different person, right?"

After saying this, Feng Ying bent down and patted the corpse dragon's head covered with mycelium, then turned and left the skull dragon's nest.

"Go for it!"

The Corpse Hazak Dragon raised its head and looked at Feng Ying's leaving back.

After the latter walked away, it took a deep breath, and a large amount of spore mist mixed with miasma gushed out from the alien's mouthparts and glands all over its body.

In the blink of an eye, the interior of the Molten Mountain Dragon's skull was covered by spore mist.

On the corpses piled around, bluish-white spore sacs proliferated rapidly, and the fungal carpet formed by fine hyphae spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eventually it turned into a giant net and climbed up its body. The mycelium continued to attach and thicken until it completely wrapped it up.

It's like a huge cocoon.
