Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 700 682.Transformation

As the guide worms lit up more and more traces, Lan and Jack learned more and more about their target.

Analyzing the status of prey based on its traces is a skill for hunters.

Although little Jack does not have Lan En's brain, he can achieve superhuman levels of detailed observation and analysis.

But he is also a hunter from the New World who once formed a team and successfully hunted the Barbarosaurus. It is precisely because of this record that he was sent by the commander-in-chief as a helper to improve the success rate of the mission.

‘Using bad hunters as helpers to fill up the numbers will only reduce the success rate of the mission’, the Commander-in-Chief understands this truth very well.

His action of sending out little Jack was a recognition of his grandson's hunting ability.

The sinister claw marks on this kid's body that extend from the side of his neck to the corner of his mouth were not earned through showmanship, but rather the honor gained from fighting monsters.

Now, the two of them were in the middle and lower section of a big tree, each fidgeting with something with their hunting knives.

The steel turned over the sticky gelatinous object, making a slippery and disgusting sound.

It was a gelatinous object that had been rubbed onto the trunk of a big tree. It was a turbid yellow-green color, and you could smell the smell of Mars if you smelled it up close.

Lann rubbed the dragon bone dagger against the leaves nearby, and the sticky glue on the Valyrian steel blade was scratched clean.

"The combustible materials in its body are very abundant and energetic."

The witcher muttered.

This is considered an occupational disease for witchers at work.

These sticky gums on the tree trunks are part of the ecological habits of Mangnathus. It is the excessive secretion in its nasal cavity.

It can also be called nasal discharge.

Barbarian jaws would clean up the strong secretions in the nasal cavity by scratching, and would also use this secretion as a mark of territory.

When they breathe fire, in most cases they actually spit out sparks from their nostrils, so the snot also contains flammable substances.

However, the analysis of this trace is actually just routine work.

This habit of Mangnathosaurus has long been figured out in the decades of work of the New World Survey Team.

What really made Lan En and Little Jack stop was a strange mark behind the snot.

It was a mark of an impact. The force of the impact was large and fierce, but the area of ​​impact did not seem to have been used for attack.

Therefore, only the xylem of the trunk was squeezed, deformed, and dented with wood thorns, but it was not completely destroyed and turned into sawdust.

Judging from the time, this impact mark and the snot mark were produced almost at the same time.

Of course, it is impossible for the Barbarian jaws to tolerate a creature that behaves aggressively (colliding into trees) in the process of marking its territory.

In other words, these two traces belong to Barbarus gnatosaurus.

"If the height of the snot is used to estimate the size of this Barbarian jaws, then the impact location...is its side waist?"

Little Jack, who was very familiar with the Barbarian dragon, opened his hands to measure the two traces and looked blankly at the same time. It was obvious that he was constructing an image of the Barbarian dragon that fit the size in his mind based on his experience.

"It's about a size larger than the Barbarian Jaw Dragon you fought off back then."

With the height of the snot mark and the height of the waist, little Jack could easily estimate the size of their target this time.

But at the same time, he was also a little confused.

"But hitting a hard surface with its side is the first time I've seen this habit of Baregnathus."

Lan En didn't speak, but became more alert in his heart.

Abnormal prey habits often mean that the hunter is in danger.

The two of them followed the guide insect and continued to move forward. Although the Barbarian Jaw Dragon only represented four stars in the hunter's mission system.

But in the ancient tree forest, there are actually only a few monsters at the level of the King of the Sky - the Fire Dragon, which dominates the ecological chain.

That's why it clearly leaves snot as a territorial mark in the forest where predators are abundant.

Because those with a higher position in the ecological chain would basically not abandon the easy-to-capture herbivorous dragon to provoke it.

Those with a low position in the ecological chain are more like having food delivered to your door.

That’s why the Barbarian Jaws is called a ‘thug’ running rampant in the forest by hunters.

And the further he followed the traces of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, the more familiar it seemed to Lan En.

And since even people like Lan En, who have just arrived, are beginning to look familiar, let alone little Jack, who has lived in the New World since childhood.

"Is this direction the way to the Star Gate?"

He murmured, and the familiar feeling in Lan En's heart that had arisen from the news that the Barbarian Jaw Dragon was wandering around the stronghold reached its maximum at this moment.

The guiding traces of the guide bugs have come to an end, and outside the dense forest is the road in front of the door opened by the investigation team for the transportation of vehicles.

A barbarian dragon was sharpening its claws on a stone step on the road.

The sound of "prick, prick, prick" was monotonous and heavy.

Just like the breath it exhales from time to time.

With a kind of rage that was temporarily and forcibly suppressed.

Mentos analyzed the scars and characteristics on the skin of this Barbarian jaw dragon, and the biological brain determined that this was the one that Lan En fought off on his first day in the New World.

On that day, Lann used his own weight and movement to nearly detach his thigh from his hip bone.

But now, its thigh, which was almost dislocated, hung securely in the bone socket of the hip bone, and was stronger and stronger than the intact leg.

So much so that my legs are a little uncoordinated.

It's back.

Wandering on the land where he had been repelled, he was waiting for the enemy who had repelled him.

Dislocation is an almost fatal injury to wild animals.

Because the reduction of movement ability will lead to the failure of hunting.

Even in humans, after the dislocation is treated, the dislocated limb will lag behind the intact limb in many indicators.

‘What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger’ is wrong in most cases.

Because the self-healing ability of an organism has its limits, injured limbs are in most cases worse than uninjured ones.

The injured waist is not as good as before, and the broken ligaments dare not exert any more force.

This is common sense that people will have as long as their work is related to sports.

But in this world, 'common sense' has been overturned.

The barbarian jaws, which should have been dragged down by its injuries to the point of starvation and disease, survived with adequate nutrition due to the prosperous ecology of the ancient tree forest.

The injuries on its body that should have caused disability and weakness were distorted by its powerful vitality!

Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was intentional, but a collision on the side of the waist caused the leg bone that was about to be dislocated to return to the bone socket.

And in the days that followed, it tasted the sweetness and began to repeat this collision, so that it became a kind of exercise.

The result of this kind of exercise can almost be called 'transformation'.
