Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1436: Being looked down upon, meow!

Feng Ying was full of curiosity about the battle at the bottom of the dark valley.

She squatted on the edge of the entrance to the rift, wearing an invisible cloak, holding a telescope, and looking hard at the bottom of the valley.

Unfortunately, due to the terrain and light, only some occasional flashes can be seen.

She really wanted to jump down and see for herself, but reason told her that it was not the right time.

Rashly rushing into the scene of the battle between the Red Dragon and the Nergigante is not only dangerous, but may also cause more unknown accidents.

It would be fine if it was a battle maniac like Nergigante, but if Red Dragon noticed the source of the materials of her protective gear and the "clever" timing of Nergigante's appearance, he would probably realize something.

Better to be honest first.
Suddenly, her pointed earlobes trembled and she heard a slight noise.

Turning around, I saw Gordon and Pig Chop walking towards me quietly.

Gordon made two gestures to inquire about the situation.

Feng Ying shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, moved aside a little, and handed the telescope to Gordon.

Gordon glanced down at the valley floor and handed the binoculars back.

You can't see anything from this position, and it would be a waste of time to look any further. Besides, the distance to the bottom of the valley is far enough that as long as you don't shout, you don't have to worry about being heard.

He lowered his voice and said, "A new signal flare just went off over there. More ancient dragons are coming. Let's hide first."

Feng Ying blinked and became excited after hearing this.

The battle to guide the ancient dragons into conflict with the red dragons went more smoothly than they expected.

Before the ancient dragons fight the "Dragon King" to decide the winner, all they need to do is wait.

Gordon took Fengying, Zhuchou and the others and hid in a camp not far from the entrance of the Quiet Valley.

This camp was set up overnight by the professor and his team, and it stored a large amount of ammunition and various supplies.

Although the ancient dragons are fighting the front battles, and it may not even be the hunters' turn to take action in the end, out of caution, they still have to be prepared for a high-intensity and protracted battle.

Gordon entered the camp and greeted the heavy crossbow team members who were waiting there in advance. He ate two pieces of food he brought with him to fill his stomach and replenished the supplies he had consumed previously.

Just as he was about to sit down and rest for a while, two figures, one red and one blue, roared like thunder, swept across the sky and fell towards the direction of the Quiet Valley.

"Sure enough, this hot-tempered couple arrived the fastest." Gordon looked up and laughed.

He was worried before that Nergigante would not be able to hold out for long against the "Dragon King" alone, but now help is here!

"They won't join forces with the Red Dragon, so they should kill the Nergigante first, right?" Feng Ying said worriedly, "Nergigante has a grudge against them, right?"

Gordon waved his hand and said, "There are precedents for ancient dragons in a rivalry to join forces to fight an enemy, like the alien beast Behemoth.

If the Red Dragon was just an 'ordinary' ancient dragon, the Flame Queen and the Flame King would not mind taking the opportunity to stab the All-Nerg Dragon with a knife, but the opponent was a 'taboo', an existence that was superior to them and even fed on them.

One is just a grudge, the other is a deadly threat, they know which one to choose."

"But if we just stay in the camp, we won't know what's going on. It's still too passive, meow."

After restocking his explosives, Zhuchop jumped onto the storage box and said seriously, "I still think we need to go into the bottom of the valley to investigate.

You are easy to be discovered, so I can go down there. If you encounter danger, I can burrow into the ground to protect myself."

Gordon was a little hesitant when he heard this, but a mushroom jumped out.

"Pig Chop Senior is better at frontal combat, explosive bombs and the like are useless in covert operations, meow.

And Senior Pig Chop doesn’t know how to use a kite, so if you want to get down to the bottom of the valley, you have to use a rope, so just leave that to me.”

Pig chop tactical backwards.

I'm actually looked down upon by my juniors, meow?

Gordon's expression was also a little subtle.

Compared to the timid appearance when it first followed Feng Ying two years ago, the mushroom has indeed grown a lot now.

Sometimes it even gives people a feeling of being more reliable than its owner.
Gordon glanced back and forth between the pork chop and the mushroom several times, and finally said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Mushroom. Be careful and come back to report if there are any special circumstances."

"I understand, meow!"

Mushroom adjusted his equipment and ran out of the camp on all fours.

The tips of Pork Chop's ears drooped a little.

Although reconnaissance is not its specialty, it should not be weak.

After Xianglan received secret team training from Master Dongfeng in Yanhuo Village, she was better than it in this aspect, and now even Mushroom has surpassed it.

Mixed emotions meow.

Feng Ying rubbed its cat head with a smile, "It's common for the younger generation to find their own strengths and surpass their predecessors. You have to get used to it."

"Huh?" Gordon glanced at her.

"Well, that's not what I meant."

After leaving the camp, Mushroom quickly assembled the kite, put it on his back, ran a few steps, and flew into the wind.

Flying was not something Deter was supposed to have, but it seemed to be naturally good at it.

It flipped left and right in the turbulent air currents near the ground, like a nimble swallow, flying faster and higher, and in the blink of an eye it arrived above the entrance to the quiet valley.

With the arrival of the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon, the battle in the valley became more intense.

The sensitive beard trembled, capturing the trajectory of the wind in the blink of an eye.

It turned its body, controlling the kite behind it, and fell silently towards the depths of the valley like a dead leaf drifting in the wind.

The strangely rugged rocks on the surrounding rock walls and the flocs hanging on them that looked like the shed skin of a red dragon caught its attention.

It was just about to get closer and take a closer look.

"Om-!"

A beam of light, only about 10 to 20 centimeters in diameter but extremely solid and dazzling, shot over.

"Meow!"

The mushroom urgently adjusted its flying posture and avoided the dangerous beam of light by using the airflow formed by the rapidly expanding air after being heated by the incandescent light.

"Boom!"

The blazing light fell on the rock wall in the distance, causing a violent explosion.

Large chunks of rock collapsed, and dark blue high-energy flames stuck to the broken rock walls, burning fiercely, as if they could burn until the stones were reduced to ashes.

"Meow meow?!"

I have to remind Fengying and the others to be careful of this kind of attack. If they are hit head-on, they will die.
Along with the explosion, there was also the painful roar of the Nergigante.

The loud noise echoed between the rock walls, causing Mushroom's ears to hurt a little.

But that’s good news for it.

This means that the bright light just now was probably just the aftermath of a sweep, rather than an attack directed at it.

It would be too bad if we were discovered before we even reached the bottom of the valley, meow.

Mushroom calmed down, adjusted the angle of the kite, and was preparing to continue descending.

Pieces of red and dark blue scales floated past it in the air current.

When the mushroom realized what those were, all its hair stood up. It no longer cared about anything else and made a sharp turn to rush towards the rock wall next to it.

He folded the kite as quickly as possible and twisted his body to crawl into a narrow crevice in the rocks.

The battle at the bottom of the valley continues.

Amidst the dull roar, another ray of bright light swept across.

The scale powder that filled the air was ignited, and a violent explosion instantly swept across the entire canyon.
