Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1449 Green Cave

To be honest, after experiencing the horrific explosion just now, even Gordon himself lost confidence in successfully hunting the red dragon.

But we can't give up now.

They still have one chance - the Black Dragon.

According to the prophecies of the ancient dragon people, the awakening of the Dragon King would attract the black sun.

Although no one can be sure when it will come, or even if it will come.

Gordon never thought that one day he would pin his hopes on these illusory prophecies, but now, they have no better choice.

"Feng Ying, can you confirm the location of the red dragon?" Gordon looked at Feng Ying.

Feng Ying took off the dragon skeleton cloth, closed her eyes and felt it carefully for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it didn't fly very far, but went in the direction of the underground."

"Yeah." Gordon responded simply, "Let's go."

The hunters who were still able to move called on pterosaurs, shot out grappling hooks into the air, and began chasing them.

Looking at the wounded all over the ground and the dead comrade, Ai Bo seemed a little confused, "Should we really continue?"

The professor's face was frighteningly gloomy, "The Red Dragon is very good at hiding its aura. Even the ancient dragons can hardly detect its existence when it hides.

The reason why Gordon and the others continued to chase was to not give the Red Dragon a chance to escape from the battle, conceal its breath and hide.

Only in this way can the Black Dragon follow the aura released during the battle and come here."

"But."

"There is nothing to worry about. We have already offended the Red Dragon. If we cannot kill it, there will be endless troubles, and the ancient dragon turmoil in the Old Continent will never stop.

You guys, help take care of the injured and transfer them. I will be the only one to follow you in the next operation."

The hunters left the sinkhole-like cave where they were originally located, flew along the lifeless rift for a long time, and then descended at Feng Ying's gesture.

Feng Ying fell to the ground and took a few quick steps, then lay down beside a crack at the end of the canyon.

Her movements were a little funny, but no one was in the mood to laugh at that moment.

The same went for Feng Ying; her expression was even more serious than Gordon and the others.

After closing her eyes and feeling the formation carefully, she said, "It should have gone down from here, to a very deep place.

The breath has become vague, maybe he is restraining himself on purpose."

"Another 'grain reserve warehouse'?" Ansir frowned. "It's hard to understand. I thought it would leave this canyon and go further south."

"It's good news that it didn't go to the New World."

Gordon looked towards the south and continued, "If it really gets to the place of convergence, I'm afraid there is no power in the world that can kill it."

At this time, the professor who was chasing the hunters also landed beside them.

After hearing Feng Ying describe her feelings, the professor's eyebrows twitched, "Well, I'm not surprised.

The 'one drop' just now used up all the energy stored in its body. Compared to the distant place where the earth veins converged, this place was at least close enough.

Well, from this point of view, it is indeed good news."

The professor seemed to have figured something out, and his expression became brighter.

"What do you mean?" Julius demanded.

“Let’s analyze the Red Dragon’s behavior briefly. Even if its energy is exhausted, ordinary large monsters, or even ancient dragons, will never be its opponent.

Even though the red dragon's flying speed is not fast, it will only take a few hours.

So why doesn't it go directly to the Land of Convergence? Instead of wandering around in this barren and quiet valley?"

The professor knew that the hunters were in no mood to think, so he didn't wait for their answer and continued, "The most likely possibility is that it sensed danger.

It fears that it will be attacked on its way to more distant and richer ley line energy nodes.

That's why they look for nearby places to absorb energy.

As for the existence that can make it feel threatened, it can only be."

"Black Dragon."

Gordon pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a somewhat ugly smile, "The Black Dragon is not far away, right?

That’s good news indeed.”

Feng Ying, who was trying hard to sense, suddenly raised her head, "Its aura is getting weaker!"

"Are you ready to hide?" Gordon took a deep breath. "We have paid such a huge price, we can't let it get away like this. Let's chase it."

"Understood!" The hunters called on the pterosaur to take off again.

The rift was deep and narrow.

If it weren't for Feng Ying who was sensing the red dragon's position like a compass, they would never have imagined that a giant dragon with a body length of fifty or sixty meters would get into such a narrow place.

As they passed through the gap, the space around them suddenly became clear.

A huge underground cave flashing with faint green light appeared in their sight.

Surprisingly, the area of ​​this underground cave is even larger than the previous two. The open area in front of us alone is tens of thousands of square meters, which is like a large square.

The ground was hard and flat, making it easy to move around, but it was a bit stuffy and there was a pungent smell in the air that made people frown.

"Is this miasma?" Aiden sniffed.

"No, it's not miasma." The professor adjusted his multi-functional eyepiece and scanned the surroundings.

“There is some kind of methane-like substance underground, and some of the gas vents are still burning, which keeps the temperature inside the cave at a relatively high level.

That’s how the green light that illuminates this place comes from.”

“What a strange place”

In the dim green light of the fire, the hunters moved forward cautiously.

"Look! What is that?!" Feng Ying pointed at the top of the cave in the distance. There were some objects wrapped in silk cocoons that were obviously not rocks.

Everyone looked up.

"Those appear to be eggs." The professor's voice was a little hoarse.

There is only one creature that uses the Netherworld Valley as its nest, so there is no need to guess who the mother of these eggs is.

"No wonder. We previously thought that this red dragon was hiding its existence while absorbing massive amounts of earth energy in order to grow.

Was it for the purpose of breeding offspring?

This is not a 'grain storage warehouse', but a 'nursery' for the Red Dragon."

As the professor muttered to himself, the hunters continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Ansel, who had the best eyesight, raised his fist and signaled everyone to be alert.

The hunters looked in the direction indicated by Anshil and finally spotted the giant red dragon.

It was lying coiled up beside a vent where methane was gushing out, with its eyes closed and deep in sleep. With its breath restrained, it looked like a lifeless dead object.

The sound of the hunters' approaching footsteps startled it.

The red dragon flapped its wings, stood up, and turned to look over here.

When its gaze fell on the hunters, a hint of human surprise flashed in its golden pupils.

"Chong-"

The hunters drew their weapons.

It would be redundant to say any harsh words at this time. The few remaining hunters charged towards the forbidden dragon that was beyond human power's reach.

He seemed to realize that it would be difficult to hide if he didn't get rid of the guys in front of him.

It may also be to protect the unhatched egg cocoons.

The red dragon spread its wings, stood up, and its terrifying roar echoed throughout the huge underground cave.

“GAAHHHHH——!!!”

The ground is lit.

Under its manipulation, the energy retained in the land is continuously injected into its body.

The energy flowed between the blood vessels and scales, eventually turning into a silver flame that ignited from the pupils.

Silver light as bright as stars also appeared on the dark red dragon wings.
