Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1106 Fog and Miasma

"Amber! Take Aibo away from here!" Feng Ying shouted, and at the same time she put away her weapon and ran faster and faster.

With two wings, four legs, a very standard ancient dragon skeleton, and a body as broken as a severely rotten corpse, the attacker was undoubtedly the target of their investigation - the Hazak Dragon.

Of course, she had read the report of Gordon and others fighting against the Hazak Dragon, and knew how dangerous the miasma released by the Hazak Dragon was.

Therefore, she did not plan to start a battle immediately, after all, the opponent was not coming for them.

At least before Amber took Aibo to retreat to a safe place, she had to avoid fighting as much as possible.

"Be careful!" Aibo knew that she would only be a burden if she stayed. She quickly took out a few flints from the bag on her waist and threw them to Feng Ying, "These can dispel the miasma, maybe they can be used."

After that, she jumped onto Amber's back very simply. Amber roared and accelerated. The man and the dog went away in a blink of an eye and disappeared into the intricate underground cave.

Feng Ying kept away from the path of the corpse dragon's charge while carefully observing this mysterious ancient dragon whose number of human sightings could be counted on one hand.

At the first sight of it, the poisonous dragon fell from the top of the "most disgusting monster ranking" in her mind to the second place.

As for the strange dragon, compared with this guy, it was simply round and cute.

But Feng Ying also had some doubts in her heart.

The appearance of this corpse dragon seemed to be a little different from what Master Gordon and his friends described.

According to Master Gordon and his friends, the corpse dragon was skinny, festering, and covered with foul-smelling flesh and fascia, looking like a highly corrupted zombie.

These descriptions were basically consistent.

But what about those large groups of white and green hyphae and spore sacs?

With such obvious characteristics, Master Gordon and his friends could not have failed to notice it.

Then it could only be newly grown. But that doesn't make sense? Isn't it said that the life form of the ancient dragon species is very stable and not easy to mutate?

Could it be that he had stayed in the Miasma Valley for several years without sun exposure and had become moldy?

While Feng Ying was thinking about it, the poor Deter, who was chased around by the Hazak Dragon, finally found a hidden crevice and went in.

Perhaps because of the influence of the poison and the fact that its eyes were covered with spore sacs, which interfered with its vision, the Hazak Dragon's reaction speed and flexibility were relatively poor.

It couldn't stop in time and crashed into the rock wall where the crevice was.

The Hazak Dragon, which was not known for its physical strength and muscle power, did not break the rock wall, but only shook off some broken rocks and stalactites, which fell on it with a crackling sound.

Looking at the Hazak Dragon that had knocked her dizzy, Feng Ying's serious expression became a little incomprehensible.

Why did she feel that this ancient dragon was a little stupid?

She slowed down, lightened her steps, suppressed her breath, and quickly put on the invisible clothes.

In the past few days, the clues and traces she and Ai Bo collected have clearly marked the activity trajectory of the Hazak.

The Hazak's life state has changed, and a large number of spore sacs and hyphae have proliferated on its body, which is also a very important piece of information.

The investigation mission has been completed, and she plans to retreat.

As for the plan of hunting ancient dragons and making new equipment

Not to mention the importance of the Hazak to the Miasma Valley and even the entire New World ecological cycle, just this appearance has completely eliminated her idea of ​​using Hazak materials to make equipment.

It's ugly, smelly, and dirty, so disgusting!

Feng Ying quietly moved away, but at this moment, a gray-white spore mist mixed with miasma spread with the roar of the Hazak.

In a blink of an eye, it filled the entire cave, and naturally wrapped up Feng Ying who was secretly retreating.

Feng Ying realized that this was not just miasma. The miasma-resistant stone could inactivate the microorganisms that made up the miasma, but it was ineffective against the smoke-like spores.

She didn't want mushrooms to grow in her lungs, so she quickly put on the filter mask and goggles she had taken off before.

However, just as the miasma and spore mist enveloped her, the shaky corpse dragon, which was about to return to its nest to continue its hibernation, suddenly turned its head.

It felt the breath of life.

Feng Ying also stopped at the same time, she knew that she had been discovered by the other party.

"Giuyaa——!" The corpse dragon let out a strange scream.

More spore mist gushed out from the bulging spore sac on its chest, raising a thick fog that blurred the vision in the closed underground cave.

The spores fell on her armor, and the miasma-resistant stone seemed to be stimulated and emitted a hazy light.

Feng Ying suddenly realized the role of those spores.

Unless the environmental conditions are particularly suitable, it is difficult for the microorganisms that make up the miasma to survive in the air for a long time.

So even in the Miasma Valley, not all areas have miasma distribution.

And these spores provide an excellent habitat for the microorganisms in the miasma, allowing them to survive longer in the air and spread farther.

No wonder the corpse dragon, which rarely leaves the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley, can already run to the outer area to wander around. The existence of these spores provides it with the possibility of long-distance migration.

It is gradually adapting to the external environment!

Feng Ying even suspected that the spore sacs on the corpse dragon have completed symbiosis with the miasma microorganisms.

If these spores carrying miasma spread to the warm and humid area of ​​the ancient tree forest that is suitable for fungal growth.

As the spores grow into fungi and release more spores, the miasma composed of microorganisms will soon spread throughout the forest.

When she thought of the lush and prosperous forest, it became a ghostland full of spores and miasma due to the arrival of the corpse dragon, and the creatures in the forest turned into rotten but not dead zombies.

She had the urge to immediately solve the corpse dragon here to prevent future troubles, but reason told her that doing so would only cause greater ecological chaos.

What to do.

Feng Ying slowly exhaled, calming down her chaotic emotions.

It was a bit too idealistic to defeat the corpse dragon alone on the spot. Regardless of whether it could be done, it was hard to say whether she had the strength to do it.

Master Gordon had never hunted an ancient dragon alone.

The most important thing now was to bring the news back so that the scholars and the commander-in-chief would know the hidden dangers here.

"Jiya——!" The Hazak shrieked again, lowered its body, and prepared to attack.

It seemed that it was not going to go back to its own home and let itself retreat easily.

Feng Ying drew out the sword again and put up the big shield, "Then I'll hurt you first, so that you won't dare to run around for a short time!"

After saying this in a low voice, she rushed towards the Hazak first.

Sitting at the top of the ecology of the Miasma Valley, the Hazak naturally would not show weakness. Its dry but still powerful limbs scratched the ground and launched a charge against the hunter.

At the moment when the two were about to collide, Feng Ying suddenly threw the Kinsect to the side. Under the pull of the insect silk, she, who was still charging at high speed a second ago, flew six or seven meters to the side.

Missed the head-on collision with the Hazak.

Before the Hazak could react, she twisted her footsteps and exerted force, went around to the side and rear of the Hazak, and then launched a charge.

The whole person almost turned into a shadow, and in a flash, she came to the heel of the corpse dragon, and swung down with a heavy sword.

The corpse dragon's reaction speed was slightly slow, but she still did not greedily cut the sword. After jumping sideways to adjust her position, she quickly slashed two swords again, and then immediately inserted the sword into the shield to charge the shield.

The energy accumulated by these simple swords was only enough to barely open the red shield, but it was enough for her.

After all these years of actual combat, she had long lost the bad habit of accumulating energy in the sword before opening the red shield like gymnastics when she first came into contact with the shield axe as a novice.

With a light "hiss", the edge of the big shield became hot, and the red shield was already opened.

The corpse dragon had also turned around, it stretched out its neck like a snake, and the dark yellow fangs full of corpse poison bit her.

Feng Ying immediately staggered and turned around, dismantled the sword and shield with a backslash, and raised the big shield at the same time.

The action of turning back and retreating helped her to relieve a large part of the monster's attack force, and the precise control of the defensive timing allowed her to take the attack steadily.

Her waist and legs were as tight as springs, and at the moment of completing the precise defense, she immediately inserted the sword into the shield and switched to the giant axe form, using the rebound force to chop the giant axe back fiercely.

"Super! Solution!"

Ps. The empty bottle super solution is also a super solution!
