Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1431: When I am full, I will kill you all.
Before daybreak, the Bitou team and Xianglan, who had gone out for reconnaissance, returned to the Blue Star.

As soon as he landed on the deck, Julius didn't even have time to catch his breath before he quickly entered the cabin and knocked on the door of the professor's room.

I don’t know whether the professor got up early or didn’t sleep at all, the door opened very quickly.

"Have you found the target?" he asked when he saw that it was Professor Julius who knocked on the door.

"Yes, it was discovered by Xianglan."

Before he could elaborate, the doors of the two cabins next to him were pushed open.

Gordon, Ansher and others, who were also not sleeping deeply, came out after hearing the noise.

Of course, there are also people who have exceptionally good sleep quality.

Ted's snoring could be heard through the closed cabin door.

"Wake up everyone else and gather in the main cabin within three minutes." After saying this, the professor led Julius away in a hurry.

Soon, the hunters, still in their pajamas, gathered around the long table in the main cabin to listen to the reconnaissance team's report.

Julius didn't say any nonsense and said a little faster: "We found a quiet canyon near that coordinate.

The canyon is very deep, and while preparing to rappel, I asked Xianglan to take a kite and sneak into the canyon to investigate.

According to Xianglan's personality, she should jump onto the table at this time, puff out her chest and put her hands on her hips, to show off how brave and capable she is, and what a crucial role she played.

But at this moment, it was too quiet.

Julius continued, “According to Xianglan, the deepest part of the canyon is over 200 meters. The valley is very desolate, with complex air currents, and the rock walls are covered with a large amount of translucent flocs that are blown by the wind.

It wasn't able to get a sample in time, so we can't be sure what it was."

"It could be shed skin." The professor said, "Many ancient dragon species have the habit of shedding their skin. It is normal to have shed skin flakes in their nests."

"It's possible." Julius nodded, "Then Xianglan continued to descend and finally found the target at the bottom of the canyon.

Next, let it speak for itself."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xianglan, but it did not become excited. Instead, it seemed a little heavy.

"That's a red dragon." Xianglan climbed onto the table and said with her paws in her pockets, "It's very big, definitely over fifty meters long, or maybe over sixty meters.

By the way, meow, its size and body structure are almost the same as that of the Dark Lantern, meow, it may be a little bigger, but not much different.

Its wings are folded, but it looks very powerful, so it should be a meow that can fly."

As a hunting cat, it knows exactly what points hunters care about.

The huge size means amazing strength and stamina, the body structure determines the action mode, and the ability to fly means a huge increase in the difficulty of combat.

"I don't know about weaknesses and abilities, but I found something strange.

It shouldn't be like what we thought, it's still dazed and hasn't fully woken up yet, it's just suppressing its own breath meow."

As she spoke, Xianglan described in detail to everyone how she felt when she witnessed the "Dragon King" with her own eyes, as well as her experience when she met those dragon eyes.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

"Then I quickly rode the kite into the air and returned to the outside of the canyon. It must have spotted me, or maybe someone else."

Julius continued, “Xianglan believes that our entry into the canyon will anger the target.

Considering that the target had already awakened, its concerns were reasonable, so I decided to terminate the reconnaissance activities and return early. "

"A wise choice." Gordon crossed his arms and said, "If you continue to approach it at this time, there will be no other possibility except to anger it."

"Xianglan said that she felt it was hiding itself, but why was it hiding? Isn't it the king of dragons?" Gail asked puzzled.

"Black Dragon."

The professor said in a deep voice: "The only thing that can make it feel fearful is an existence of the same level. The ancient dragon people's motto also mentioned that the existence of the 'Dragon King' will attract the 'Black Sun'.

The Dragon King just awakened."

At this point, the professor paused for two seconds before continuing, "The name 'Dragon King' is too difficult to pronounce. Since it is red all over, let's call it 'Red Dragon' for now.

It is normal for a red dragon to be weak after just waking up from a long sleep.

Considering that it is an adult Dark Lantern Dragon, it has the ability to absorb the energy of the earth veins and use it for its own benefit.
It may be constantly absorbing and devouring the energy of the Demon Gathering Land in order to restore its condition.

In this process, in order to avoid attracting the Black Dragon's attention too early, he restrained his aura and concealed his presence."

Ansir, who was beside the professor, frowned and added, "And don't forget, this 'Red Dragon' is the culprit that attracted many ancient dragon species.

What it is absorbing may not be just the energy circulating in the veins of the Demon Gathering Land.

And the energy of those ancient dragons.

Once it devours everything, perhaps even the so-called 'strongest dragon feared by gods' will not be its match."

Hayata also said: "If this is the case, the purpose of the Red Dragon hiding its existence may not necessarily be just to prevent the Black Dragon.

What were attracted by it were a group of ancient dragons, not herbivorous species that had no ability to fight back.

Once they realize that a dangerous existence much more powerful than any of them is lurking nearby, quietly devouring their energy.

They are likely to put aside their current hatred and rise up in resistance.

Regardless of whether they can defeat the Red Dragon or not, they will interrupt the latter's recovery process and attract the attention of truly powerful enemies."

Gordon nodded slowly, “So, it watched helplessly as the carefully crafted Demon Gathering Ground was destroyed in the struggle between the ancient dragons.

But he still suppressed his anger, restrained his breath, hid behind the scenes, and waited for the opportunity? "

"When I'm full, I'll go out and kill you all." Feng Ying whispered in a suppressed and dull voice.

"?!"

Everyone looked at her.

"Ah, no, no, no, we are not resonating with each other. I am just trying to express the Red Dragon's thoughts from its perspective."

Gordon slapped her on the back of the head, then looked at the professor and said, "In this case, we definitely can't let the red dragon continue to absorb energy and recover its strength.

According to the original plan, there was no chance that the Red Dragon would show up on his own initiative out of anger and engage in a battle with the ancient dragons.

We have to find a way to let the ancient dragons discover the existence of the red dragon and use it to ignite a conflict.

Faced with the anger and siege of several ancient dragons, the red dragon can only fight back. By then, it will no longer be able to restrain its breath and hide.

The Black Dragon will come."

The professor thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "This should be the best way to break the current situation.

The biggest problem now is how to lead those ancient dragons in the melee away from the place where demons gather and lead them to the Netherworld Valley dozens of kilometers away.

Even if it's just one.

As long as one ancient dragon discovers the red dragon and starts fighting with it, the aura and movement released in the process will be enough to attract the attention of other ancient dragons.

At the same time, we have to hide ourselves as much as possible and not let the Red Dragon realize the role we humans play in this series of events.

Human civilization cannot afford revenge from a 'taboo'."

Gordon grinned when he heard this.

"Guiding an ancient dragon to the Netherworld Valley? I think I know how to do it."
