hunt and eat

Page 265

Early next morning

Varan, who hadn't slept well all night, stood in front of Guta with dark circles under his eyes.

"What are you doing...I'm rushing to eat now, I'll talk about things later!" Guta shouted loudly.

"I thought about it all night, and finally came to the conclusion that you are hiding something from me."

Varan raised his head and said excitedly.

"..." Guta blinked his eyes.

You thought about it all night and came to this conclusion?

Isn't this stuff obvious?

The youngest researcher... that's it?

Really I can do it~

In fact, Guta still wanted to go wrong.

What really troubled Varan all night was not the fact that he had something to hide at all, but the nonsense he said before he left last night.

In the spirit of rigor, this young dragon researcher has almost used more than ten kinds of scientific demonstration methods, including exhaustive method, counter-evidence method, and reduction of absurd method. After ruling out all possibilities, he finally rushed to Before dawn, a definite conclusion was drawn.

Guta was talking nonsense last night!

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations~

The brain circuits of smart people sometimes go around like this.

But you can't say that what he thinks is wrong.

"Uh, what..." Eyeballs rolled around for a while, and Guta was just about to make some more nonsense in order to get rid of this annoying guy, but he was patted on the shoulder silently.

Looking back, he saw a "marinated egg", shining brightly in the sun, making his eyes extremely painful.

"Oh! Hawk, what are you doing?" Covering his tearful eyes, Guta closed his eyes in pain.

"Should I ask you this? I heard you yelling here early in the morning, and it was also last night..." Hawke helped his sunglasses and said helplessly.

"This is?" Yesterday, because he was busy discussing the investigation plan with Valentina, and then rushed back to the contact point to write a letter to report to the headquarters of the Longli Academy, Valan had no chance to stand with his cousin Hawke at all. The assistant behind him spoke.

Now that we have met again, we should greet him emotionally and rationally, at least we know who he is.

"Damn it, don't..."

Before he could stop him, Hawk touched his bald head and said with a smile: "You are Valentina's cousin, it's the first time we meet..."

"I'm that girl's former partner. I wonder if she mentioned me to you?"

While talking, Hawke suddenly noticed that Varan's expression froze.

Eh?

Did you say anything strange?

Turning around mechanically, Varan opened his mouth wide, pointed at Hawke, and turned his small head back and forth between him and the ancient tower, almost realizing the great cause of "separate action" for a while.

"He's just...huh?"

In this regard, Guta, who had put on a mask of pain in advance, directly covered his face, as if giving up on himself, and said in an imperceptible voice:

"Ah, he is probably the one you are looking for."

"Maybe you can call him...brother-in-law."

……

Chapter 182 6000-meter cloud sky, [Red Comet] VS [Silver Sun]

"So... the two of you have been tossing about for several days because of this boring thing?"

On the deck of the Dragon Awareness Ship, Valentina looked at the two guys behind her silently while shaking the round fan.

"Are you two children?"

"Oh no, it seems that it is indeed a child."

Even though Varan is a researcher of the Longli Institute and the general manager of the disaster investigation project, and Guta is even close to the top hunter in the field of natural disasters, but in terms of age, these two people are completely children.

Hawke on the side was not very easy to answer, so he could only shrug his shoulders and monitor the surrounding airspace along the way.

After several rounds of inspections, the Dragon Consciousness Ship and the air meeting place, or according to Valentina, the meeting place, were connected with each other with iron cables, and they floated slowly together towards the Relic Ridge.

During this period, the main personnel involved in this investigation mission gathered on the deck of the Dragon Sense Ship at the same time.

This led to the immediate and public execution of Guta and Varan.

"Sister, the current situation... have you explained it to your aunt?" Varan whispered next to Valentina's ear.

If she knew that her daughter had found a bald-headed Wu Ke who was almost ten years older, her aunt would probably go crazy, right?

Although I don't like judging people by their appearance, it is really difficult for Hawke to pass the mother-in-law's test.

"I know in my heart that I won't go back during this time... After a few more years, when the raw rice is cooked, my mother can only obediently accept her fate and help me take care of the child."

Valentina's calm attitude formed a stark contrast with the second half of her sentence, so that the face of Valentina, who was not deeply involved in the world, was so red that it was smoking.

Can this be said casually?

Or with so many people present?

"Hey, Hawke, I've tried my best to help you these few days."

On the other side, Guta elbowed Hawke's shoulder with a benevolent expression.

Wrinkled his mouth, he kept looking at Valentina and Hawke over Valan, adjusted his sunglasses, and said helplessly, "I agree with you, but are you making things too complicated?" ?”

After all, isn't it because his appearance is not up to standard?

Originally, if Guta hadn't randomly accepted Varan's words and raised his expectations so high, there would not be such an embarrassing scene now.

"Cough~cough" Guta tilted his head, guiltily cast his eyes aside, and didn't answer the words.

For some reason, after such an accident that had been fermented for two days, the members of the investigation team who were still a little nervous were in a much better mood, at least not as anxious as when they first set sail.

Although it was not intentional, the ancient pagoda was surprisingly able to ease the atmosphere at certain times.

Just as the airship was gradually climbing towards Yiqun Ridge, on the top of the "Tianzhu" at an altitude of [-] meters, that is, at the highest peak of Yiqun Ridge, Tianhuilong was squatting on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the continuous The ever-changing sea of ​​billowing clouds.

Yes, it's not the 8000 meters that the investigation team imagined. The Tianhuilong's lair, located at the peak of Yiqun Ridge, has a terrifying altitude of more than 1 meters.

Of course, for Tianhuilong, which has a speed comparable to that of the "comet", 8000 meters and [-] meters are just a few more seconds, and there is no difference in essence.

As if sensing something, Tianhuilong's streamlined body leaned forward slightly, and looked at a certain cloud sky outside Yiqun Ridge.

The deep blue eyes shrunk slightly, and the beak-shaped metal mouth like a bird slowly grinned in a mocking arc.

In the next second, accompanied by the roar of fighter jet engines, the clouds on the edge of the peak were directly torn apart by the terrifying sound waves.

But thousands of meters away, Tianhuilong's figure had already turned into an imperceptible ray of red light, which quickly faded away.

……

Almost at the same time, near the position of Yiqun Ridge, at an altitude of about 6000 meters.

A huge flying dragon covered in silver scales is hiding in the clouds and mists, quietly approaching the vast mountains not far away.

It is the rare male fire dragon known as the [Silver Sun], a small number of non-ancient dragon monsters that have reached the realm of natural disasters after adulthood.

In terms of strength, it and its own original species, except for their similar appearance, are completely two species.

According to scholars' speculation, the emergence of the Silver Fire Dragon is probably due to a genetic mutation, which allows it to absorb a large amount of metal elements by eating ore, and finally fuses with the scales to form an alloy with extremely strong defense.

Because of this, its body surface often exudes a silvery white metallic luster.

The name [Silver Fire Dragon] comes from this.

Yet even such a powerful creature has something to fear.

Just like the silver fire dragon who couldn't stop observing the surrounding airspace at this time.

It naturally knew whose territory the Remains Mountains not far away belonged to, and also knew what the result of the rash invasion would be.

It's just that for some reason, even if it is a little adventurous, it must find a way to get close to the mountain range below it.

Seeing the mountains below become clearer, the Silver Fire Dragon let out an uncontrollable excited neigh, and was about to gradually descend.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a red light piercing through the sky turned into a long rainbow and hit it straight.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the silver-red body, almost as big as a small house, was already in sight.

boom!

The two silver bodies collided, but produced completely different results.

Amidst the painful wailing, the huge body of the silver fire dragon was directly knocked into the air by nearly [-] meters at a terrifying speed of nearly Mach [-].

When it flapped its wings with difficulty, barely supporting its body from falling.

From the gaps in the fragmented scales, a spring of bright red blood has been rushing down into the clouds and mist below like flowing water.

The amount of bleeding... Huge!

With just one collision, Yinhuolong was already seriously injured.

Even between natural disasters and natural disasters, there are qualitative differences.

As one of the ancient dragon species, even if it doesn't have the ability to control natural disasters and weather, the physical fitness of Tianhuilong is far higher than the silver fire dragon, which is a rare male fire dragon.

Not to mention that it also has the undisputed fastest speed in the world.

The Silver Fire Dragon didn't die directly in the terrifying impact just now, which is already considered to be extraordinary in its own strength.

Panting, staring at the red light that started to maneuver as a cobra in the distance, the silver fire dragon panted heavily, and his eyes did not dare to leave the opponent's movement track for a moment.

On the surface of its body, the blood has gradually clotted into clots.

For Silver Fire Dragon, the injuries on the body surface are secondary. After all, with its recovery ability, even if those wounds are left alone, they will heal within a few minutes.

As a powerful monster of the natural disaster level, this level of self-healing ability can only be regarded as rare.

But the really tricky problem is that the internal organs in the silver fire dragon have been affected to varying degrees by the impact just now.

Just maintaining the current flight in the air, Silver Fire Dragon is already quite difficult.

Not to mention that there is a much more powerful ancient dragon of natural disasters, watching it covetously.

Just thinking about it, the comet transformed into Tianhuilong has struck again.

……

Chapter 183 This is a lie!

"Roar!" (I have no intention of trespassing on your territory)

Above the clouds and sky, the Silver Fire Dragon roared loudly with all its strength towards the Tianhui Dragon who was about to charge again.

"Ho~ho!" (I just want to take my daughter away!)

They are both dragon monsters, so they can actually communicate with each other.

But the premise is that Tianhuilong has to be willing to pay attention to the other party.

Fortunately, the roar of the silver fire dragon still had some effect after all.

I saw that Tianhuilong's movements were slightly stagnant, and then the speed began to slow down, and began to circle around the silver fire dragon's body in regular circles.

Different from the wings of other flying monsters, the wings of Tianhuilong have no patellar membrane or feathers, but each has three thick columnar wing bones with sharp claws.

Each wing bone has a hollow structure, and there is a nozzle at the top of the wing bone, which is connected to an organ in Tianhuilong that has a function similar to that of the lung.

When flying, the air is sucked into the body through the valve in the chest, and these special organs convert the air into [Dragon Qi] with dragon attributes, and the dragon gas is ejected with great force through the jets at the top of the wing bones , to achieve high-speed flight by the reaction force of the jet.

This is also the most important reason why Tianhuilong can possess such a terrifying speed, it is completely some kind of miracle of biological structure.

All in all, with this pair of huge winged feet that can rotate and fold freely and flexibly, Tianhuilong can fly at supersonic speed far beyond the limit of living organisms like a jet fighter.

But in contrast, the unique wing structure of Tianhuilong is destined to be unable to fly and glide by flapping its wings, and it cannot achieve long-term airborne flight like most dragon species.

Tianhuilong obviously had some interest in what Yinhuolong said, so that he didn't kill again for the time being.

This is a very rare situation for an extreme monster like Tianhuilong who is used to killing all creatures in its invading territory.
