Monster Hunter: This fire dragon has special characteristics

Not long after Luo Yun and Yaji fell asleep, a furry cat head with a pair of slender pointed ears suddenly poked out from the gap in the nest. As a result, it was almost scared to death when it found the two sleeping fire dragons.

This is the native orc tribe of the New World, named Detel. Because of its social habits and appearance similar to those of the Fey cat, it is also called the mountain cat.

"Meow?" (Why did you stop? Go up quickly!)

The urging call behind it almost made the little heart of this Detel explode. After gently kicking its companion below, it quietly retreated.

After a while, the two Detels crept onto the platform. The black cat claw pattern in the white hair on their abdomens trembled slightly under the uneasy mood, revealing the fear in their hearts.

Two pairs of big eyes were fixed on the sleeping fire dragon. Every tiny movement was extremely cautious. Even the breathing was light as possible. The body was slowly and silently moved. Finally, the prey was carefully carried to the other end of the platform.

Then it quickly climbed up the vines and climbed to a hidden crack in the air. Then it ran towards the inside of the crack on all fours.

On the platform, the sleeping female fire dragon slightly opened one eye and watched the two Deter enter the crack before closing its eyes again.

Years of living alone made Yaji extremely vigilant. She would detect strange smells and strange noises, even after falling asleep.

This habit formed over a long period of time was still maintained even after Luo Yun arrived.

The two "tiny" mountain cats were judged by Yaji to be no threat. Therefore, after confirming that the other party had completely left, Yaji leaned towards Luo Yun, feeling the warm body temperature from her own little male fire dragon, and fell asleep again.

The hollow corridors formed by the intertwined trunks of the ancient trees are interconnected, like a natural maze.

After the two Detels passed through one passage after another with ease, they finally came to a very hidden area in the outer canopy of the ancient tree.

The outer part of this area is wrapped by the thick branches of the ancient tree, leaving only gaps for sunlight to penetrate. These branches can not only better hide this area, but also block the peeping of the flying dragon species. Even if there are fire dragons fighting outside, the aftermath of the battle cannot break through so many branches to come inside.

The circle of thick branches on the outside makes this canopy space a semi-enclosed Garden of Eden, and there are layers of thin branches inside to make the internal terrain more complicated.

Vines and leaves form one narrow platform after another. Of course, this is relative to the behemoth. For Detel, these platforms are enough.

On these small platforms, some are sheds built with leaves, while others are bonfires, meat drying racks, and water tanks. However, the only thing in common is that around these platforms, there are totem symbols of this Detel tribe.

The two Detels ran quickly between the branches and soon came to the largest platform. As soon as they put down the pieces of meat in their mouths, two other Detels came up and took the two pieces of meat away.

"Woo woo~"

Some aging sounds came from the big tent in front, and then an old Detel with an aging body and gray beard came out holding a dragon bone staff.

The top of the staff is a flying thunder dragon skull, but under the erosion of time, the skull has cracked in many places.

As the leader of this Detel tribe, this flying thunder dragon was obtained by him when he was young, cooperating with the warriors in the tribe, trapping and killing a sub-adult flying thunder dragon with the help of a thief dragon. It is also the symbol of glory of this Detel tribe.

"Why did you come back so late this time? Did the thief dragon group have another accident?" The old Detel sighed.

Detel has the ability to communicate with the thief dragon. As small creatures in the ancient tree forest, the two sides have always gotten along very happily.

The thief dragon made up for Detel's weakness in combat ability, and Detel relied on command and traps to enhance the thief dragon's hunting ability. The two sides cooperated with each other and lived a comfortable life in this forest.

But since a very powerful big thief dragon appeared in the thief dragon group near the ancient tree some time ago, many thief dragons followed the big thief dragon and left the bottom of the ancient tree to expand their territory in other areas.

Many thief dragons that had connections with them and could be summoned by horns also left with them. This not only had a significant impact on Detel's hunting, but also greatly increased the danger of Detel after leaving his home.

As a small creature, those giant beasts often do not regard Detel as a threat. As long as they do not wander around in front of them, there will generally be no problem. After all, to put it bluntly, the meat of a Detel is not enough for those giant beasts to fill their teeth.

The real threats to Detel are often those small and medium-sized omnivorous or carnivorous creatures that are only two or three meters long, but there are many such creatures in the Ancient Tree Forest.

The thief dragon can be said to be at the top among these small and medium-sized creatures. Therefore, the Detel tribe living in the Ancient Tree Forest often has one or two good thief dragon groups that can be summoned by horns as a guarantee for the tribe.

Hearing the leader's question, the two Detel looked at each other, nodded, and began to talk with meows.

"So you mean that the thief dragon groups that have contact with us have left, and there is a pair of fire dragons that choose to build a nest on the road we must pass when we go out?"

The leader was shocked by the news.

What is misfortune? This is misfortune!

Without the familiar group of thieves, the warriors in the group will be greatly affected when going out to hunt, and it is not easy to build a good relationship with the new group of thieves.

But the most troublesome thing is Luo Yun and Yaji who built a nest on the platform.

Their Detel tribe is one of the largest tribes in the entire ancient tree forest. The reason why there are so many tribesmen is that the place where they live is too safe.

There is only one entrance and exit in the entire residence, and the environment in the entrance and exit passage is very complicated. There are layers of branches wrapped around the periphery of the residence, which is both hidden and safe.

Moreover, the upper layer of the ancient tree is the territory of the fire dragon. The pterosaurs that pose the greatest threat to their Detel dare not approach this area at all. In such an absolutely safe place, they don’t need to change their residences as often as other tribes, so the tribe has slowly expanded.

But now, right at the doorstep, there is actually a pair of fire dragons building a nest, and the situation has completely changed.

Yes, the fire dragons generally won't attack Detel, but they will often appear under their noses in the future, right?

And in their nests!

Even if the fire dragons are arrogant, this can be tolerated, but what about when they start to breed and hatch eggs?

No fire dragon can ignore creatures that threaten their offspring and hang around nearby.

So now there are only two choices for leader Detel.

First, migrate the whole tribe.

While there is still time, before Luo Yun and others pay too much attention to them, the whole tribe will move.

Second, try to communicate and surrender, and reach a dependent and symbiotic relationship with the fire dragons.

But generally speaking, these giant beasts are extremely cold-blooded and arrogant, and Detel has no bargaining power with them, even as emergency food, it seems that he is not qualified.

As for driving the fire dragons away.

Haha!

It's not crazy yet!

Although there is indeed a precedent of the orc tribe successfully hunting large creatures, not to mention that the ecological niche level of those hunted creatures is not enough for the existence of fire dragons, how much will it cost to complete a hunt?

And this is not just one, but a pair of fire dragons that will cooperate with each other and attack at the same time.

It is impossible to fill in all their tribes.

Then, ask for help from the Detel who live in the ancient tree?

This is not realistic. There are more than one Detel tribe living in the ancient tree, but those living in other places basically have a difficult life. Accepting their tribe will be a great burden.

The leader of the Detel walked to the edge of the platform with his waist crouched, looking at the platform below, where the tribesmen each performed their duties, and the young Detel followed the elders to help, or jumped up and down to play.

This harmonious scene is brought by their residence.

So if they choose to leave, not only will it be reluctant, but it will also be a disaster for the tribe.

"So can we only try to communicate?"

The leader of the Detel shook his head and squatted on the edge to think carefully.

In the end, he couldn't think of any other way. He could only gather the tribesmen to repeat the situation and make two preparations.

He personally led people to try to communicate with the fire dragon, and the rest of the people were ready to leave.

If the communication failed, staying would only lead to slow death until they all starved to death.

But if the communication was successful, perhaps their lives would be more comfortable.

However, this possibility was very small. After all, it was a fire dragon. If the fire dragon could communicate easily, other tribes would not have to live so hard.

Luo Yun didn't know anything about the Deter tribe. When he was awakened, he found that there were three more furry guys at the entrance of the nest. One of them, a mountain cat that looked very old, dared to bear Yaji's death gaze and dragged the piece of meat in his hand that could only barely fill the teeth in front of them.

Then it meowed.

The most important thing is that Luo Yun actually understood!

It can't be said that he understood, but he could understand what the other party wanted to express.

Tribe, submission, warning, guard...what the hell?

At this time, Luo Yun had fully sobered up. He also recognized that the three mountain cats in front of him were actually three Detels, but what he couldn't understand was when Detels would take the initiative to contact the giant beast?

Aren't we all just keeping to ourselves?

Is it the relationship that if I ignore you, you will also take a detour?

I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

After calling for a long time, the Detel leader saw that the two dragons had no response at all, and even the female fire dragon, who looked very domineering, had a hint of impatience in her eyes, and her heart sank all of a sudden.

He lowered his head and slowly retreated, intending to leave before Luo Yun and the others got angry.

Just as it was disappointed and ready to go back to move, Luo Yun suddenly stood up.

The huge body came to its front with a great sense of oppression. This action made the two Detels behind the Detel leader nervously hold the bone spears, looking ready to fight at any time.

The Detel leader was tense, but Luo Yun did not do anything else, just looking at it carefully.

Yaji could sense that Luo Yun had no ill intentions, but she still followed Luo Yun's movements and stood up, staring at the three little creatures in front of her with a sharp gaze, thinking that a fire should be able to solve the problem.

"Roar~"

A few low roars sounded, and after Chief Deter carefully understood, his big cat eyes lit up instantly, and he understood what this meant.

This male fire dragon expressed doubts and needed an explanation.

It's good to have a response! The worst thing is no response!

A response means that there is a possibility of communication. Only indifference, or even the worst direct expulsion, is there no possibility at all.

So the Deter leader immediately started to communicate and explained the situation in detail.

Although the two sides did not speak the same language, Luo Yun still roughly understood the situation after the other party used his hands and feet to communicate.

The nesting location he chose was actually adjacent to the other party's tribe.

In order for the tribe to survive normally, the other party expressed his willingness to surrender.

Then it was to express their own value, for example, their tribe could help Luo Yun and Yaji with early warning and protection, and could help them stop or even expel thieves such as Sao Bird, etc.

And all Luo Yun needed to pay was to turn a blind eye to them and give them a living space. Of course, it would be even better if they could leave them a portion of the leftovers after hunting.

After all, fire dragons are notoriously picky. When food is not scarce, they will often only eat the meaty and delicious parts of the food. The rest of the meat with poor quality and the parts covered by hard shells will be discarded.
