Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1438: You three again?

Soon after the ancient dragons arrived at the Quiet Valley, the hunters responsible for blocking them also arrived at the camp one after another on pterosaurs.

Pig Chop lost no time in checking everyone's injuries.

The others were basically fine, except for Ted, who suffered some burns from facing the Flame King Dragon's breath head-on.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious and was basically healed by sufficient recovery medicine and life dust.

Gordon counted the number of people, and found that the three upper-level hunting groups and the heavy crossbow team were all present, and there were even a few extra people who were not planned.
"Professor, why are you here too?" Gordon looked helplessly at the scholars headed by the professor.

The professor looked calm, "We know too little about our opponent this time, the Red Dragon, and the only knowledge we have comes from our speculation about its young Dark Lantern Dragon.

We scholars can provide you with on-the-spot intelligence analysis to gain an advantage in subsequent battles."

At this point, the professor adjusted his glasses, his eyes sparkling behind the lenses.

"The opportunity to witness the 'forbidden' figure with my own eyes and gather relevant information is rare in a century. Even an old man like me is excited."

Gordon was silent for a moment, "In this operation, we cannot spare any manpower to protect you."

"of course."

The head of the research class next to the professor said, "Since we have come to the front line, it means we have made sufficient preparations.

Both in terms of practical actions and psychologically.

You are not responsible for our safety, just focus on facing the monsters."

Gordon looked at the scholars deeply and said nothing more. Since they all came with awareness, there was no need to persuade them anymore.

“The ancient dragons that have arrived at the Valley of Tranquility so far include Nergigante, Flame Queen, Flame King, and Ice Curse Dragon. A few minutes ago, the Steel Dragon also arrived, but it did not enter the valley immediately. Instead, it is accumulating a storm.

As for the Mingbo Dragon, we haven't found any trace of it yet." Gordon summarized the information he observed from the camp.

An Xier raised his hand and gestured, saying: "As for Mingbo Dragon, there is no need to wait for it.

When we left the Guiding Lands, we found that it dived into the sea and headed further south. It seems that it has no interest in joining this battle."

"Damn it! There's a coward!" Gail cursed after hearing it.

The professor said as if it was a matter of course, "Among the ancient dragons there are those with bad tempers, and naturally there are also pacifists.

In our previous observations, we also found that Mingbo Long participated in melees relatively rarely.

Facing the threat from the red dragon, it was expected that Ming Bo Long would choose to retreat.

Rather, the fact that five ancient dragons participated in the siege of the Red Dragon has far exceeded our expectations."

Gordon recalled his first encounter with Mingbo Dragon several months ago.

That guy really has a good temper.
“Currently, Mushroom is lurking in the Quiet Valley, observing the battle between the ancient dragons and gathering intelligence.

We will need to wait until it comes back for more specific intelligence information," Gordon continued.

Julius frowned as he heard this. "Why would they let it collect intelligence alone? If it finds important intelligence, whether it comes back to report immediately or stays to continue observing, it will cause information delays."

Gordon was stunned when he heard this, then realized that it was his mistake, and said awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, but I thought that Pork Chop couldn't fly the kite, and it would be dangerous to go to the bottom of the valley, so I didn't let him go with us."

"As expected, I have to step in!" Xianglan jumped out as expected, with her hands on her hips proudly.

Julius nodded and said, "Xianglan, go and replace Mushroom and continue the observation. Let Mushroom come back as soon as possible and pass on the information."

"Yes, meow!" Xianglan saluted Julius and ran away quickly.

Hayata's expression couldn't help but become subtle.

The cat has been hanging out more with Julius and the others recently, and has almost forgotten about its real owner.

"By the way, do you feel that the wind is getting stronger and stronger?" Feng Ying gathered the ends of her hair that were blowing in the wind.

Ansil looked up at the sky and said, "Of course, the Steel Dragon is gathering a storm above the Tranquil Valley. It's not far from us, so it will certainly be affected."

Feng Ying tightened the dragon skeleton cloth around her neck, walked out of the camp, and looked in the direction of the Quiet Valley. She began to stutter as she spoke, "Isn't this... this storm a little too strong?!"

Above the Netherworld Valley, a tornado hundreds of meters high is taking shape.

The steel dragon circled around the wind column.

Under its control, this tornado is far more solid than a tornado formed naturally in nature.

The turbulent airflow formed sharp wind blades, scratching countless scratches on the rock ground. A large amount of sand and gravel was sucked into it, further increasing the power of the storm.

Xianglan, who had just left for a few minutes, came back crawling.

"Meow! There are turbulent currents inside and outside the canyon. No one can fly in this situation except the Steel Dragon himself!"

Just as it said this, two huge figures, one red and one blue, rushed out from the valley.

Together with the steel dragon, they surrounded the wind column connecting the sky and the earth, constantly spewing dragon flames and scattering scale powder.

The wind column was transformed into a flaming tornado that burned everything.

The dry and hot wind could be felt even in the camp.

Gordon and his companions, as well as Maka, who had also experienced that battle, looked at each other.

At that time, it was this double-flame tornado that burned the arrogant alien monster into charcoal.

"They obviously have a grudge against each other, but they cooperate so skillfully," Maka muttered, "These three guys, are they the three from the Dragon Crystal Land?"

"It's very likely," Anxier stared at the three ancient dragons dancing in the air, "This place is not far from the Dragon Crystal Land in a straight line.

Were we attracted here by the pheromones released by the red dragon?"

Feng Ying opened her mouth wide. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

After staring at the fire tornado sweeping across the canyon for several seconds, she suddenly burst into a scream.

“Mushrooms!!!”

The faces of the others also froze.

The fire tornado that everyone saw was only the part that was exposed in the air.

And inside the nearly closed canyon, the effects of airflow and high temperature are only more amazing.

All the oxygen will be burned up, and even if the mushrooms dig deep holes in the ground, they cannot avoid such a large-scale attack.

Just then, Xianglan pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look over there, meow!"

Everyone looked up quickly and saw a small shadow staggering in the hot turbulence stirred up by the tornado, floating towards this place with difficulty.

"It's Mushroom Meow!"

The kite behind it had become tattered under the burning of the flowing flames and was about to collapse.

Feng Ying quickly rode on Amber and rushed out, and finally caught the falling mushroom at the last moment.

As early as when the steel dragon stirred up the storm and swept across the canyon, it realized that something was wrong and took off into the air to prepare for evacuation.

Finally, they managed to rush out of the canyon before the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon joined in and transformed the wind column into a fire tornado.

But even so, it was seriously injured in the aftermath of the Scarlet Blue Dragon Flame, with its hair all scorched and its skin burned in many places.

If it weren't for the excellent high temperature resistance of the Totoro Armor, it might not have been able to survive this long.

Feng Ying hurriedly poured a bottle of recovery medicine on it and rushed back to the camp with it.

Due to lack of oxygen, Mushroom, whose consciousness was a little blurred, shook his head vigorously, broke free from Feng Ying's arms, and jumped to the ground.

"Important information, meow."
