Chapter 143 Great Progress in Research on the Ecology of New World Fire Dragons

Bathed in this environment full of life energy, Luo Yun exhaled comfortably and slowly lay down.

It seemed that the fatigue of the body was greatly relieved at this moment.

Just when Luo Yun closed his eyes and immersed himself in it, he heard some movement because of his more acute hearing after closing his eyes.

It was like lying on the bed with his eyes closed in the dead of night, and vaguely heard that someone in the same building seemed to be renovating the house.

But when he focused his attention to listen, he was covered by the sound of magma.

Because this sound was mixed with the sound of magma flow, Luo Yun did not take it to heart and subconsciously thought it was a normal phenomenon.

After absorbing the energy and relieving the uncomfortable feeling accumulated in these days, when Luo Yun left the branch of the earth vein, he did not see Yaji's figure in the place where Yaji often stayed before.

Luo Yun's first reaction was that Yaji left for something, not that something happened.

The cave entrance where Yaji stayed for a long time was not far from the earth vein branch. According to Luo Yun's hearing, since he didn't hear the sound of fighting, it was highly likely that nothing would happen.

However, Yaji's unusual disappearance still made Luo Yun's heart tighten. He flapped his wings and came to the cave entrance. Just as he was about to call her, he saw Yaji staying at the fork in the road above the cave entrance, trembling slightly, like a frightened crane quail.

Luo Yun instantly became alert and quickly flew to Yaji's side. Just as he was about to see what happened, Luo Yun, like Yaji, froze in place instantly, and didn't even dare to move a step or make a sound.

Looking from this fork in the road to the far end of the other side, he saw that the passage that could provide several fire dragons flying side by side was filled with something.

Although it was still a long distance from where Luo Yun and Yaji were, at this distance, Luo Yun could only see the bluish-white dragon scales of the creature growing in reverse, and each dragon scale was as big as Luo Yun's wings.

Under those scales, the solid rocks underground are like a piece of tender tofu. Just by passing by, they can be easily cut off without making much noise.

Just by glimpsing a corner of the other party's body, the pressure from the ecological niche can make Luo Yun and Ya Ji, high-ecological-niche monsters who have faced ancient dragons, stay quietly in the corner and wait for the other party to leave.

It is hard to imagine what kind of existence this is.

It passed through the ground like a snake, until the last blade tail disappeared from the passage, the absolute pressure from the ecological niche began to slowly dissipate.

Luo Yun and Ya Ji's tense muscles finally relaxed. In a closed environment, a monster dozens of times your size passed by your eyes. This kind of depression even affected your body mentally. They kept breathing heavily in place to relieve their spirits.

This kind of pressure alone can give them the illusion that they have fought a battle with creatures of high ecological niches. It is conceivable that if they really face each other, whether they can muster the courage to fight is a question.

After confirming that the other party has really left, Luo Yun spread his wings to cover Yaji's still slightly trembling body. Yaji seemed to have found a support and got close to Luo Yun, seeking a breath of safety.

At this time, Luo Yun's mind kept flashing the terrible blade tail and bluish-white reverse scales that he saw at the last moment. A name gradually emerged in his mind,

"Snake King Dragon!"

This is the real creature in the world, at the top of the ecological chain, the closest to the "taboo". In the eyes of many people, it is a non-"taboo" creature with power comparable to "taboo".

In the records of the Hunter Guild, the minimum size of the Snake King Dragon is 440 meters. Just this size is enough to make it stand at the top of the ecological niche, not to mention its absolutely powerful strength.

Luo Yun has always believed that there is a snake king dragon in the New World. Several areas of the Miasma Valley are built on the bones of the snake king dragon. These bones have permanently changed the topography of the Miasma Valley.

Although he knew it, Luo Yun never thought that he would be able to see a living snake king dragon one day.

The distance just now was not close for Luo Yun and Yaji!

But for the snake king dragon, turning over is more than that distance.

For such a super-large ancient dragon, just passing by can greatly change the ecology. It is not appropriate to describe the ancient dragon as adapting to the ecology.

It should be said that his existence is an ecology.

After Yaji recovered completely, Luo Yun turned around and flew to the tunnel that the snake king dragon just passed by amid Yaji's worried roar.

The originally very wide passage has now become an underground tunnel with a diameter of more than 50 meters leading to the depths of the earth.

Along the way, the rocks cut by the snake king dragon had long been crushed into powder by the huge body of the robe.

Where this passage leads to, Luo Yun does not know, but for this kind of ecological niche monster, there are only a few places in the new world that can attract,

Suppressing his curiosity, Luo Yun did not fly to the depths of the tunnel, but pretended to be calm and returned to the fork in the road. With Yaji's relieved look, he left here with her.

Back on the earth, the dry breath of the wasteland hits the face, and after flying for a long time under the vast sky, Luo Yun and Yaji finally relaxed completely.

The depressing environment underground and the sight of such a being were always like a huge stone weighing on their hearts.

Luo Yun never expected that even though he had become a "monster" in his previous life, he never expected that one day he would feel the fear of giants again.

It can only be said that the water in this world is really too deep, so deep that at some point, a creature beyond your past imagination will appear.

Luo Yun and Yaji finished a hasty hunt and drove away Zhanlong and Man'elong who wanted to steal food.

I didn't eat much, so I just returned to my place of residence with the food.

In that environment, the impact of the Snake King on them was still a bit severe, and it would probably take several days to fully recover.

The days passed like this, and Luo Yun also waited for three days before reentering the tributaries of the earth to absorb life energy.

In this way, when he was absorbing energy, he still appeared to be very vigilant. Any slightest disturbance would attract his attention. This appearance was completely different from the previous one who regarded the tributaries of the earth's veins as a 'sauna'.

I'm afraid that another extremely dangerous monster will pop up from the deep underground.

It has been several days since the engineers of the investigation team came to the place where the fire dragons live. After the initial worry, they were afraid that they would accidentally do something that caused a misunderstanding and the fire dragons would attack them if they didn't like them.

Gradually, he got used to it. Under the protection of the hunters and his followers, Detel, after surveying many places, he finally found a relatively private area suitable for breeding.

Mushroom pigs are not large in size and can be cultivated under the cover of woods and by building some suitable camouflage buildings.

There is nothing wrong with biting fish. This thing is just like the catfish in the previous life. If there is no suitable treatment method, the smell will make most monsters not touch it.

What's more, biting fish is an aquatic creature, so it is inherently safe.

Finally, the herbivore dragon ran into trouble.

There are no "natural dangers" like the Star Stronghold near this residence. There is not enough terrain to block monsters, so herbivorous dragons cannot be raised at all.

This gave Detel and the engineers a huge headache. For a while, the breeding of herbivorous dragons was suspended. They first began to prepare for the cultivation of mushroom pigs and biting fish, using the mushroom cultivation environment.

Regarding the herbivorous dragon, we will see what to do after other personnel and materials arrive.

Time passed quickly, and two months later, the transportation route between the investigation team and the Fire Dragon's settlement was finally opened.

Among them, the fire dragons also contributed some efforts.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the fire dragons will take the initiative to help open up the route, but Luo Yun asks the cats to move towards that route as much as possible. He also spreads among the fire dragons from time to time that there is a good hunting ground in that direction. information.

On this point, Luo Yun didn't say anything nonsense. There was indeed a good hunting ground in that direction. The only drawback was that it had become a place frequented by a group of Thousand Blade Dragons at some point.

In order to better obtain prey and fight against the Thousand Blade Dragons that disrupted the hunting of the fire dragons, often several male fire dragons would hunt together.

The cats open up transportation routes there. When they encounter monsters that are hostile to them, they will deal with the ones they can handle themselves. If they can't deal with them, they will blow the rescue horn after calculating the time.

At this time, the passing fire dragons will be furious and beat the monsters that are "bullying" the cats and drive them away.

Every time the rescue horn is blown, the cats will feel very sorry. Fortunately, there is a survey team that provides a sufficient amount of star jerky as reward. After every battle, the male fire dragons will leave with satisfaction.

For this reason, sometimes even when the male fire dragons return from hunting, they will go to that route to see if they can rescue the 'bullied' cats.

That day, the Elu cats on the investigation team drove their herbivorous dragons to pull the carts, transporting supplies on the road, and then were attacked by a large monster as expected.

When the hunters were lured away by the monster, a Barbarian Elongated Dragon appeared out of nowhere and attacked the transport team again.

Without the protection of hunters, the Ellu cats in the transport team, which did not have much fighting power, had no choice but to give up their supplies and escape. At this time, a male fire dragon in the sky who was about to hunt far away also discovered the situation below.

Of course, the main thing was to discover the herbivorous dragon pulling the cart.

So, just when the herbivorous dragon was killed by the Barbarian Dragon, the male Fire Dragon fell from the sky and defeated the Barbarian Dragon in a battle.

Just when he was about to enjoy the herbivorous dragon, he suddenly discovered the Elle cat hidden under the car.

The male fire dragon who originally wanted to drive away the El Cat found the identity hanging around its neck under the frightened eyes of the El Cat. The ancient tree fire dragon clan specially provided the identity to ensure that the investigation team's transportation team would not be accidentally injured. Lin Qian's attitude changed from fierce to somewhat suspiciously friendly.

When he saw that this somewhat different cat did not offer the star jerky very quickly like other Detel, the male fire dragon thought that this cat had forgotten to stock up on the star jerky.

This is not the first time this happened, so after sniffing the Gael Cat at close range and remembering its scent, the Gael Cat thought it was going to die and looked pitiful. One of his own scales, and then he grabbed the body of the herbivore dragon and flew away.

Later, when the hunters came back with Detel, who had come to pick them up, they finally understood the meaning of the male fire dragon's actions after hearing the poor cat's description.

The dragons Detel had a limited amount of star meat jerky when they went out. Sometimes, there was more than one dragon coming to support them, which would result in insufficient meat jerky.

Therefore, somehow, the dragons remembered the smell of cats, and the cats left a dragon scale. After returning to the settlement, they would use the scales to make up for the missing star meat jerky.

And this cat happened to have a fur color similar to Detel, and had a special identity scale, so the male fire dragon mistook it for a member of the ancient tree fire dragon clan, which led to the subsequent actions.

After learning that there was such a step, the investigation team had an idea. Every time the transport team set out, they would specially select cats with fur colors similar to Detel of the ancient tree fire dragon clan and carry identity scales with them.

And after receiving the support of the fire dragons, hunters who also wear identity scales will offer star meat as a reward, so that the ancient tree fire dragons can gradually adapt to the approach of hunters.

Gradually, as time goes by, sometimes, the ancient tree fire dragons will bump into hunters while hunting in the wild, and will not attack them at will. If the hunter also wears the identity scales specially made by the ancient tree fire dragons, they will not even mind the existence of the other party.

However, this sometimes leads to some oolong situations that make the investigation team headache. That is, sometimes when they encounter a fire dragon in the wild, they don’t know whether this fire dragon is a fire dragon of the ancient tree fire dragon group, and then they accidentally approach it, which arouses the other party’s vigilance and is forced to enter the battle.

However, despite such a great risk, the investigation team was still happy to do it. After all, the "very friendly" behavior of the ancient tree fire dragons allowed researchers to leapfrog the progress of their research on the fire dragon ecology of the New World.

In this way, the Star Base and the settlement worked together to not only successfully open up the transportation route in two months, but also successfully defended the transportation line with the occasional help of the ancient tree fire dragons when they were slightly short of manpower.
