Monster Hunter: This fire dragon has special characteristics

The liaison ship responsible for this year's liaison is docked at this small island marked on the nautical chart, which can be used to replenish fresh water and other resources.

However, when the hunters on the ship returned, they did not bring back much fresh water resources, let alone some edible fruits and other supplies.

"Is it the same situation as those islands before?"

The captain put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the hunters with ugly faces, and sighed: "This is the seventh island we have encountered where such a thing has happened."

"According to the kingdom's investigation, the only ancient dragon suspected of crossing the ancient dragon but missing was the Flame Queen Dragon. However, what happened on these islands is obviously completely different from the disaster caused by the Flame Queen Dragon. We did a rough investigation and found that only some trees and lakes disappeared. It feels like they were plucked out of the ground and taken away by something."

The hunters responded.

"Forget it. This is not a problem we should think about. This incident actually happened on the route of Gulong Ferry, so the other party's target must be the New World. Leave professional matters to professionals. We only need to do a good job of communication twice a year." The captain did not delve into it. The mission of their liaison ship was also very dangerous.

Without the ancient dragons of Gulong Ferry leading the way, the safe journey from the Old World to the New World depends entirely on the captain's extraordinary sailing experience. The danger of their work is such that their lives hang on their waists at any time.

Therefore, if they can find out the truth in the investigation, they will do so. If they cannot find out the truth, they will not put more energy into it.

"Captain, look!"

At this moment, the hunter next to him suddenly pointed at the sky and exclaimed.

The captain reacted quickly and immediately raised his telescope to look in that direction.

High in the sky, a black dot among the white clouds revealed its true shape in his telescope.

Like a floating mountain, with dangling tentacle-like limbs, it slowly drifted towards the New World with the help of the ocean currents.

"What is this?"

At the port of the New World Star Base, the captain handed the paper with the image of the monster he saw to the commander-in-chief and said earnestly: "The monster is not moving very fast, but judging from the direction, it is very likely to land near the Star Base. You may have to prepare early."

After seeing the commander-in-chief nod, the captain breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "We won't be in a hurry to go back this time. We will stay and help you. Just let us know if you need us to do anything."

Although the captain was unable to identify the origin of the monster, he knew from its huge body that was as big as a mountain that it was not something that could be easily dealt with.

"Thank you!"

The commander-in-chief, whose fuzzy short hair had already begun to show white strands, smiled and patted the captain's shoulder. After saying "thank you" in a heavy voice, he immediately began to arrange their accommodation.

On the way, the captain looked at the slightly empty Star Base with some confusion, and asked worriedly: "Do you have any big missions recently? Why do I feel that there are fewer people in the base than when I came last time? Can these few people stop that big guy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the commander-in-chief's slightly curved mouth corners suddenly droop.

Big task! Where does the big task come from?

Didn’t nearly half of the missing people run to the ancient tree?

In the past few years, after the Grand Commander returned to the ancient tree, they also cooperated very well in issuing many tasks and brought back a lot of funds.

When everything was going on the right track, a group of ancient dragon people joined the ancient tree.

Not to mention that the ancient alchemy displayed was completely different from that of the investigation team. It could produce more advanced alchemical items, which greatly improved the overall strength of the hunters. Therefore, it attracted many hunters to stay at the ancient tree just to get first-hand alchemical accessories.

And the reasons for the permanent presence are all reasonable: completing ecological surveys deep in the forest and protecting scholars from conducting research on ancient civilizations in the New World.

That's fine. After all, for hunters, the things produced by ancient dragon alchemy are indeed more advanced, but what their investigation team produces can be used as is.

However, as batch after batch of documents from the ruins of ancient civilizations were excavated, the ancient dragon people on the ancient tree actually began to provide paid translations and paid lectures, which directly attracted many scholars to reside in the ancient tree.

In addition, there are various things that require people to go out and investigate, so wouldn’t the base be empty?

As for the defensive capabilities of the stronghold, even if Xia Guagua is unreliable, the little Xialong who is almost ten years old is enough to deter most monsters.

But how could the commander-in-chief have the nerve to tell the captain about this?

I can only laugh it off and get away with it.

Soon the 10 or so people on the liaison ship were all arranged. When the commander-in-chief was about to handle daily work, the director of the Ecological Research Institute came over.

"That's not good. According to the manuscript you sent me, the monster here is very likely the ancient dragon with ancient bloodline in the legend - Fuyue Dragon!"

"According to the union's records, his temperament is considered to be very gentle among the ancient dragons. But the bad news is that the Star Base is likely to be on the opponent's movement route. According to his eating habits, he may start eating as soon as he lands, and the base may be affected."

"Oh?" Even the commander-in-chief had never heard of the name Fu Yuelong. After all, there were too few traces and eyewitness reports of this ancient dragon.

"What about the risk assessment?"

"A disaster of super-large ancient dragon level!"

"hiss!!"

The commander-in-chief took a deep breath. There was no need to display any power. Just moving could cause a large-scale disaster. This was a disaster at the level of a super-large ancient dragon.

The commander-in-chief, who had originally been hoping for the best and didn't plan to take extra precautions, rubbed his brows in distress.

"I understand. In that case, we should call back all the personnel who are out and make preparations for both defense and evacuation."

"I suggest that if the base is indeed within the disaster range, except for the hunters, other personnel should retreat to the ancient tree after completing the preliminary preparations and ask the ancient tree fire dragon clan for shelter. We have too few combat personnel to protect the logistics personnel while facing this level of disaster." At this time, the swordsmanship master who was listening on the side suddenly interrupted.

Seeing the commander-in-chief ponder for a few seconds, he nodded in agreement and continued, "Also, maybe we can call in some backup."

"Backup? Those fire dragons in the ancient tree?"

"We can only fight for the ordinary fire dragons! When facing a battle with an ancient dragon, they may not necessarily accept our commission, even if we offer a high price.

So the one we really want to invite is the Fire Dragon King and the one in the Ancient Ruins Basin. As for the others, we can only do our best~"

The swordsmanship master spoke in a deep voice, without mentioning Ge Mantis's name. After all, this name was something that would give the commander-in-chief a headache whenever it was mentioned.
