Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1439 Big Bang

Gordon told Aiden to continue observing the three ancient dragons creating the fire tornado, while the others gathered around the mushrooms and returned to the camp.

Mushroom didn't bother to treat his injuries and quickly recounted what he discovered at the bottom of the valley.

"That red dragon is over 60 meters long, but it moves really fast, meow."

"That high-energy breath is a bit like that of the Dark Lantern, but it's much more condensed, meow, and it won't lose control like the Dark Lantern. It's very precise, meow.

The location where it is hit will cause a violent explosion, and even the rocks will catch fire. "

"A flash of light appeared beneath its body, and all its wounds healed, meow. Even its scales returned to their original state, meow."

"After the Glacial Dragon froze it, the Nergigante smashed its head, meow. But even with such a wound, it healed in the blink of an eye, meow!"

"But! After that, the light on the ground didn't seem to be as bright as it was at the beginning, meow! It also didn't recover as often as before, meow."

After describing everything he had seen in as much detail as possible, Mushroom's tense nerves finally relaxed, his body went limp, and he was about to faint.

Zhuchop and Xianglan quickly lifted it up and carried it into the tent in the camp to treat its wounds.

Gordon's face was solemn. "The wound healed in the blink of an eye. It sounds like an exaggeration, but looking at Mushroom's appearance, he must be serious.

It doesn't look like the self-healing ability of living things, so that's what the Dragon King relies on."

"No, that's beyond the scope of self-healing ability." The professor denied, "No matter how strong the self-healing ability is, it can only heal flesh and blood at a very fast speed like the Nergigante.

As for keratinous tissues such as scales and spines, the best they can do is regenerate and renew, not "heal".

The mushroom described it very clearly. The wound did not heal immediately after it appeared, but healed in an instant after the earth energy flowed into the red dragon's body through the ground.

If I am not mistaken, this so-called 'self-healing ability' is essentially a manifestation of their ability to control the energy of the earth veins."

"You mean, the Red Dragon directly converted energy into matter and filled the gaps in its body? Is this possible?!" Ansel asked in disbelief.

"It sounds like a myth, and it is completely beyond the scope of human scientific understanding, but based on the current intelligence, this conclusion is indeed the most likely."

The research class leader took over and said, "Just like the Earth-crying Dragon, it changed the topography of the New World with its own power. What level of energy is that?

We researchers also find it incredible, but that is the fact.

As a 'taboo', it is not surprising that the Red Dragon possesses this level of ability.

Rather, compared to the formation of the Demon Gathering Land, this method of using energy to repair one's own wounds seems insignificant."

Anhil was silent.

Hayata suddenly spoke up: "Mushroom finally said that when the red dragon gathered energy, the light under it became weaker, and its recovery actions were not as frequent as before.

So can we understand that this ability is not unlimited, and it will become tired if used continuously?"

The professor nodded, then shook his head. "It should be, but I don't think it's due to fatigue. I think it's more due to the exhaustion of energy sources."

"Energy exhaustion, that's what it is!" The leader of the third group looked as if he had realized something.

Seeing that the hunters didn't react, she asked back, "When you were fighting the Dark Lantern Dragon, it also absorbed the energy of the earth veins from the ground, and then turned it into a torrent of energy to attack, right?"

Gordon was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right."

“Whether using earth vein energy to attack or to repair one’s own injuries, it is essentially the same ability.

That is the manipulation and use of earth vein energy.

As a young red dragon, it can manipulate energy for a long time to fight. It is unreasonable for an adult red dragon to get tired so quickly.

So the key lies in the source of energy!"

Ansil responded, “The ‘Conclusion Place’ where we fought the Dark Dragon is the end point of the energy cycle of the entire New World’s earth veins.

The ground is completely covered with high-energy crystals. Even if only the energy that escapes is present, it can create a spectacle like the Dragon Crystal Land.

The energy there is endless.

But the Valley of the Netherworld is different. The veins here are connected to the Land of Demons, and the Land of Demons is just an ecological box created by the Red Dragon to imitate the New World.

The total amount of energy is simply incomparable to that of the Land of Convergence, and coupled with the continuous absorption while it was dormant, there is not much left."

"That's right in theory." The professor nodded heavily, "So when fighting, you can prioritize destroying the parts.

Whether it's flesh, scales, claws, horns or anything else, the regeneration process requires a lot of energy.

Don't even think about killing it quickly. Our only hope is to use up all the energy in the Valley of the Darkness and weaken it.

As for the end, whether to slowly surround and kill it or rely on some external forces, both have a higher success rate. "

"No problem! A protracted war, right? That's what we are good at." Gordon clenched his fists.

The professor's snow-white eyebrows twitched, and he reminded: "But don't forget one thing, for the red dragon, other ancient dragons are also excellent sources of energy.

It would be fine if the ancient dragons kill the red dragon, but if the final winner is the red dragon, we must grasp the time to intervene.

We must draw it into battle before it can draw upon the other dragons' energies for its own use."

"Did you hear everything?"

Gordon looked at the other hunters and said, "Everyone, get ready for battle. Once the fire tornado stops, we will go to the entrance of the Netherworld Valley and wait for the opportunity.

Be ready to rush in at any time!"

The hunters responded one after another, and the two hounds were already hung with ammunition boxes.

Ted poured a bottle of healing potion onto his bald head, which was covered with blisters from the burns, as if he was taking a bath with the potion.

"There is a situation!"

Just then, Aiden quickly ran into the camp, "There's something wrong with that fire tornado! Is it about to explode!?"

Upon hearing this, the professor quickly climbed up a large rock several meters high with agility that was not expected of an elderly person, and looked in the direction of the Netherworld Valley.

The size of the tornado did not expand. Instead, it became thinner and thinner under the constraints of the steel dragon's magnetic field.

This was not a sign of the heat dissipating; on the contrary, the hot wind blowing towards the camp became even more scorching.

Since when, the red flames and the blue flames, which were intertwined but clearly defined, have merged into one under the stirring of the strong wind, turning into dazzling golden and white.

It reminds people of the color of the sun.

The fire tornado that surrounded Behemoth was not to this extent. It was obvious that the three ancient dragons had tried their best.

Suddenly, the tornado expanded violently and twisted.

The three ancient dragons coiled around the tornado and flew away without looking back.

Realizing that something was wrong, the professor jumped off the rock.

"It's going to explode, lie down quickly! Cover your ears!"

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

With an unprecedented loud noise, the tornado that turned into a blazing white exploded.

The aftermath of the explosion swept across the hunters' camp here.

A sharp tinnitus filled his brain and Gordon staggered to his feet.

He shook his head vigorously again and finally regained consciousness.

"Is everything okay?!" Gordon asked loudly.

The hunters and scholars in the camp stood up one after another.

Thanks to the professor's timely reminder, and the thick mountains around it that blocked most of the impact.

Many of them may even be seriously injured due to the aftermath of the explosion.

"Red Dragon!"

While quickly checking whether the crossbow was damaged in the impact, Anxier shouted, "The aftermath is so powerful, the red dragon at the center of the explosion must be in trouble!
It will definitely be severely damaged, and the energy of the earth veins in the Netherworld Valley may not be enough for it to recover!"

"Call the Pterosaur!"

Gordon yelled, "Get ready for the assault, let's go!"
