Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1422: Deep in the Miasma
As "natural disasters" occurred frequently in the Demon Gathering Land, the professor no longer assigned tasks to the hunters and told them to conserve their energy.

The hunters were making their own preparations, maintaining their armor and weapons, and mixing their ammunition.

But there are also some restless ones.

Feng Ying finds the professor. She wants to enter the Demon Gathering Place alone and hopes to get his approval.

The professor, who was analyzing information behind his desk, raised his eyes and stared at her deeply.

Of course he could guess what Feng Ying wanted to do.

When it comes to emotional perception, dragon people are generally more sensitive than humans.

Not to mention that this kid is a "resonator".

Every move of the monster, even its low growl, might be just a cry to other hunters.

But when it fell into her ears, she could feel deeper emotions.

Becoming friends with an ancient dragon in just a few days sounds like a fairy tale.

But in fact, similar situations are not that rare in the archives of the Ancient Dragon Observatory.

"You really think of it as a friend. Go if you want to. Just be safe."

The professor did not ask her what she wanted to do. After giving her a simple instruction, he withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the information in his hand.

Feng Ying happily ran to the deck and called the pterosaur with a whistle.

Mushroom skillfully pulled up her trouser legs, and Amber made a helpless "grunt" and prepared to jump into the sea.

It has to swim to the island.
Feng Ying gestured to Amber, asking it to stay on the boat.

She was already familiar with how to find the Corpse Hazak.

Instead of letting Amber swim around laboriously, it would be better to ride the pterosaur directly to the appropriate location, and then travel by foot and Kinsect.

The pterosaur rose into the air.

A huge cloud covered the sky above the place where demons gathered, and the sky was dull and depressing.

I’m afraid it won’t be sunny here again until the ancient dragons get tired of all this.

"Wow—"

A long, sharp cry was heard from the northern sky.

An unusually strong wind brought with it a chill, and large flakes of snow fell.

Another roar was heard from the coral reef area in the east.

Lightning exploded in the clouds, shattering the snow clouds and turning the heavy snow into heavy rain.

Then, the cold wave hit again, turning the heavy rain into hail.
Different roars sounded from all over the place where demons gathered.

"Ahh, it's about to start again."

Feng Ying muttered to herself as she controlled the Acid Pterosaur to lower its flying altitude, so as to avoid being discovered by some violent ancient dragon and being shot down.

After a period of low-profile, low-altitude flight, they finally arrived at the target area safely.

Feng Ying did not choose to enter directly from the cave entrance to the miasma zone.

Instead, he came to the coral land area, found a hidden crevice between the coral reefs, released the hook hanging on the pterosaur's claws, and jumped down.

Jumping from a high place is something that will become addictive if you do it too much.

Of course, this is assuming you don't die from the fall.

Using the Kinsect to slow down, Feng Ying passed through the coral reefs stacked like giant trees, and finally landed steadily at the bottom of the valley filled with skeletons in the miasma zone.

"Full marks!" Feng Ying raised her hands and cheered.

Unfortunately, no one applauded her, and even Mushroom was busy equipping himself with a filter mask.

Feng Ying rubbed her nose awkwardly, put on the mask, looked around, and without even unfolding the map, she quickly confirmed her location.

"Let's go check out that guy's nest first."

"Good meow."

The mushroom landed on all fours and ran at full speed. Feng Ying also threw out the Kinsect, and with the help of the silk thread, it leaped and moved forward rapidly.

After passing through some narrow passages that might not even be recorded on the map, it didn't take them too long to reach the cave where the Hazak dragon's lair was located.

The dense miasma area was not suitable for high-speed movement. Feng Ying jumped to the ground and slowed down her pace. "Using a big skull as a nest, that guy's taste is really unique."

Mushroom also stood up. "In fact, we plunderers often use bones to make tents. They are strong and safe."

"There's such a thing? Doesn't it stink?"

".Where in the miasma zone is there any place that doesn't stink?"

"Too."

The man and the cat were chatting idly.

They passed through the fog with a clear direction, and the giant skull of astonishing size soon appeared in front of them.

Feng Ying stopped.

Looking at the spider-web-like mycelium tangled on the skull of the Molten Dragon, she couldn't help but sigh, "How can hair grow on bones that are almost petrified? It seems that guy has succeeded."

Different from Fengying's ease, Mushroom seemed a little nervous, with its pointed ears constantly turning, alert to the dangers that might emerge from the thick fog around it.

Not seeing the figure of the Corpse Hazard, Feng Ying raised her voice and shouted twice.

The sound echoed in the empty cave, and no response was received until the echo faded away.

"Not at home?" Feng Ying said to herself.

Mushroom looked at her, "Find it meow? Or retreat meow?"

Feng Ying thought for a moment and said, "Since we have come all the way here, we should just look for him."

As she spoke, she took some mycelium and spore sac tissue from the skull of the Molten Dragon and stuffed it into the insect cage.

The guide insects responded quickly, flying out in groups and turning into fluorescent blue light paths pointing into the distance.

A man and a cat followed the guide and started tracking.

Soon, Feng Ying had some guesses about the whereabouts of the Corpse Hazard.

"This is the direction of the territory of the group of Claw Dragons."

After your injuries are healed and you gain new strength, will you seek revenge on them?

It’s not surprising when you think about it, ancient dragons are generally arrogant and vengeful, and the Corpse Hazak is no exception.

The group of Carcharodontosaurus took advantage of its severe injuries and difficulty in moving, and chased and intercepted it. If it hadn't been for my intervention, it might have been killed.

It would be strange if he didn't cause trouble after this, right?

Feng Ying couldn't help but quicken her pace.

That guy could be said to be the weakest among all the ancient dragons that he had personally come into contact with, bar none, and could be called a disgrace to the ancient dragons.

His strength was almost entirely due to the miasma, and his body was so weak that he didn't even look like an ancient dragon.
Not to mention the Earthcrying Dragon, the Giant Halberd Dragon and other creatures that are a level stronger.

Take Steel Dragon, Flame King Dragon, and Frost Dragon for example, which are relatively common ancient dragons that also rely heavily on special abilities.

If no one uses special abilities, who can you beat?
Even compared with your own kind, the Hazak in the Miasma Valley is much bigger than you.

Shame
Feng Ying even began to imagine a hairy Hacarus being chased around by a group of Carcharodontosaurus, screaming "gigigigi" non-stop.

"There's some movement, meow!" Mushroom suddenly warned.

Feng Ying immediately stopped, raised her shield and sword, and became fully alert.

The sound of slow footsteps came from the other side of the fog that was so thick that it was difficult to see.

Feng Ying narrowed her eyes, slightly tensed the muscles in her limbs, and prepared for battle.

As the footsteps got closer, several figures slowly emerged from the depths of the miasma. Feng Ying easily identified the identities of the visitors by their outlines.

Those are some dinosaurs.

Feng Ying's heart began to tighten.

The Hacarus came to seek revenge on the Deinocratidae, and these Deinocratidae are still alive. What does that mean?

I worked so hard to grow mushrooms for you, and you are so embarrassing yourself, aren't you? !
Feng Ying, who was cursing inwardly, suddenly realized something was wrong.

The miasma was so thick that they could see each other's outlines clearly, which meant that the distance between them was very close.

The group of Carcharodontosaurus must have discovered her, but why didn't they launch an attack and were still so slow?
The doubts in his heart were dispelled as the group of Tragic Claw Dragons walked out of the fog.

Feng Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.

She finally saw clearly that those walking towards her were no longer Carnotaurus, but a group of unconscious zombies.
