Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Tianhuilong" Gordon repeated the name, he looked up at the monk, "Is this the real name of the pure white dragon recorded in the temple inscription?"

The monk was shaking his head, "The two 'dragons' have never been directly mentioned in the inscription, and they have always been referred to by words such as light, shadow, pure white, and darkness.

Tianhuilong's statement comes from the word "Tianhui". I don't know if it would be a little strange to translate it in a common language. The original text in Gulongren language can be understood as "reincarnation of fate" or something like that.

The so-called Tianhui dragon is also the dragon of reincarnation. "

"Is there any more, more specific information about this creature?"

Anshir asked bluntly: "From the current situation, in order to avoid the endless spread and deterioration of the mad dragon disease, we may need to crusade it.

Ecological habits, attribute weaknesses, attack methods, etc., did the great monk keep records? "

The monk was silent for a moment, and said: "The descriptions about Tianhuilong itself and the details of the battle in the temple are very cryptic, it's not that the monk just likes 'riddles'.

But how do I describe it.

From the inscriptions, ancient documents and other materials, it can be felt that the ancestors were afraid of something. It seemed that they were worried that the transmission of a few words would become the carrier of the rebirth of "light" and "shadow". "

"So that's it, I understand." The professor who hadn't said anything before sighed, "The ancient ancestors were limited by technology, so it's normal to have such fears.

The old man still has a piece of the 'puzzle', which may be able to answer the last doubt in your mind. "

Everyone's attention focused on the old dragon man.

"Black Corrosion Dragon and Tian Huilong, um, let's use these two names. Do you know them, or how these creatures reproduce?"

Anshir and Gordon, who had made speculations about "transgender" before, looked at each other.

The professor didn't wait for other people to speak at all, and continued: "The writers and Hayata have fought against the black erosion dragon several times, and in the process of being infected with the monster of mad dragon disease, they brought us back many biological specimens.

After repeated research, we found that the scale powder disseminated by the black dragon is not only the carrier of the mad dragon virus, but also a kind of spore itself, which is a reproductive cell.

That's right, the Black Erosion Dragon is a parthenogenetic creature, and this kind of reproduction generally occurs in relatively primitive life, such as mushrooms. "

"Countless shadows descend on the earth and grow new shoots. That's what it means, so it's what it means, so it's like this, so it's like this." The monk was muttering to himself.

Anshir's expression was subtle, "You mean, the black erosion dragon spreads scale powder, spreads the disease and emits spores at the same time, and then new black erosion dragons grow out of the ground? That's too much"

"It's not sprinkled on the ground, but 'parasitic'." The professor corrected: "Monsters infected with mad dragon disease will become a breeding ground for the parasitism of the black dragon's reproductive cells.

With the continuous development of kuanglong disease, these germ cells will gradually develop into embryos, larvae, and finally break out. "

"Break out?!" Feng Ying was numb and pressed her stomach in horror.

She had accidentally swallowed the monster's blood containing the mad dragon virus about ten days ago. Hearing what the professor said, she always had the feeling that she was pregnant with a monster for no reason.

"Don't worry, humans will get sick, go crazy, or even die because of the mad dragon virus, but they can't become a breeding ground for black dragons."

The professor glanced at Fengying who was running over, and continued: "Because human beings don't have enough 'substances' to provide enough nutrition and energy for embryonic development.

You have met the peach-haired beast king infected with mad dragon disease before, right? It is also impossible for a black dragon to be born in the body of a monster of that size. Perhaps only a large flying dragon will become a breeding ground in the true sense. "

"It's okay, it's okay." Fengying breathed a sigh of relief, and ran back to the corner to continue squatting.

Gordon raised his hand and asked: "With the ability of the black dragon to spread scale powder and the spread of the wild dragon virus, even if it is a large flying dragon, it is estimated that the number of infections will not be one or two.

Is it possible that there will be an extreme situation where a large number of black erosion dragons are born at the same time? "

The hunters were startled.

The strength of the Black Erosion Dragon is higher than that of ordinary six-star monsters, but it has not reached the level of ancient dragon-level creatures. If it hadn't been infected with mad dragon disease and was relatively weak, the pen hunting group would not have been defeated by the Black Erosion Dragon.

but! That's just the case of a black dragon.

What if there are three, five, ten, or one hundred heads?

Can the hunters handle it?

The professor pushed his glasses and said: "From the results of the current research, the situation is quite optimistic. It is very unlikely that the spores disseminated by the black dragon will actually grow into embryos, develop into larvae or even adults, and break out. event.

Those germ cells gave the old man a feeling of underdevelopment, how should I describe it, like trying to conceive a sexually immature larva.

It's theoretically possible, but extremely unlikely. "

Gordon touched his nose, the professor's metaphor made everyone speechless, but it was also very straightforward and easy to understand

"The light returns, and the darkness is born," the great monk who was talking to himself suddenly raised his head, "The black dragon is a larva! So it is difficult to reproduce.

But Tianhuilong is different. Death and rebirth may be the necessary steps for this kind of creature to become an adult. Only Tianhuilong is an adult with the ability to reproduce!

If Tian Huilong has really descended on Sky Mountain, then the 'disaster' that will envelop Sky Mountain."

"...It is really possible to spawn countless black erosion dragons." Gordon answered with a sullen face.

"Is Tian Huilong a mature individual?"

The professor also nodded, "Although this theory has not been confirmed, it is not low possibility. If Tianhuilong is an adult, then it may indeed reproduce a large number of offspring when it is sexually mature.

From this point of view, the mad dragon plague covering Sky Mountain may be different from that in the southern part of the old continent. We need to confirm this as soon as possible. If the situation is true, the crusade against Tianhuilong will become an inevitable option.

It is impossible for the guild to allow the appearance of countless black erosion dragons being born and causing chaos, which may destroy the world.

The old man needs to carry out the experiment immediately, the infected samples of the Kuanglong virus spread by Tianhuilong."

Everyone's eyes fell on Fengying in the corner of the nest.

Fengying pointed at herself, "Huh?"

You don't want to dissect yourself, do you? !

"She can't, it's useless." The professor frowned. "The raptor virus and spores in her body have lost their activity under the suppression of the medicine. I need more 'fresh' specimens."

Fengying breathed a sigh of relief, but muttered in her mouth, "It's as if we are a salted fish."

Aiden on the side laughed.

"Fresh samples are not hard to come by. We can immediately enter the hunting ground and capture a small monster, such as an velociraptor or a spirit deer." Hayata suggested.

"That's the best." The professor nodded in agreement.

"Hold on."

Gordon made a gesture to tell Hayata, who was about to get up, to be calm, "Since Tianhuilong is an adult individual, it may be more active in spreading viruses, so we can no longer prepare according to the standard for dealing with Black Corrosion Dragon. .

Professor, you mentioned before, what is the "clue" to completely solve the mad dragon disease, please explain in detail. "
