9. Return

"Huh~huh~ Running here, it should be safe. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Reg followed Red Star, and the two of them sprinted all the way until they reached a cave at the foot of a volcano before stopping.

"Well, the male fire dragon can't spot us in the sky in this position."

Red Star observed the surrounding environment and nodded.

Running down the same stretch of road, Red Star was only slightly panting, but Reg couldn't breathe, this is the difference between one year of training and six years of training, if there is no change, it is foreseeable that in the future, Regg's achievements in the profession of hunter will be extremely limited.

With such a contrast, Red Star has less and less regrets about his six years of training.

Regg, who had been gasping for breath for a long time, had too many questions, and without saying a word, he directly asked Hongxing: "Just now, your 'time is almost' and 'here', do they all refer to the male fire dragon?" ”

"Hmm."

Hongxing was sorting out his bags, he looked at the few cold drinks left in his bag, frowned slightly, and when he heard Leg's question, he didn't look back, and responded casually.

"Did you already know that the male dragon was coming?"

Regg obviously had more than a few questions, and what he couldn't figure out was that judging from Red Star's every move, he had long been aware of the fact that the male fire dragon would come, but he didn't know how Red Star determined that the male fire dragon would come.

"Of course."

Red Star sighed, feeling a little regretful that this exploration journey was probably coming to an end, he turned around, faced Regg, and took Reg a little seriously to deal with Regg's question.

"But how did you know the dragon was coming?"

Reg laid out two questions, and finally asked the crucial question.

The question that made Reg scratch his head was easy for Red Star to answer, he didn't need to hide it, educating newcomers was also one of the responsibilities of hunters, he explained in detail and seriousness: "Compared to other monsters, as the overlord of the sky, the male fire dragon is used to high places, even if he rests, he will choose as high a place as possible to settle down, on the way here, I saw some trees with its paw prints, so I judged that we have entered the territory of the male fire dragon." ”

Although volcanoes are hot, they are not without vegetation, life always evolves in an adaptive environment, and the same is true for these plants and trees that grow in volcanic areas, they have evolved to adapt to the hot climate here in a long time, and it is also with their existence that volcanic areas can form a food chain ecosystem of [herbs-herbivores-carnivores].

"Is the territory of the fire dragon......"

Reg lowered his head and thought, even if Red Star explained this, he still had some things he couldn't understand, such as - why did the male fire dragon appear so coincidentally? It's so fast and critical!

Red Star guessed what Reg was thinking, he didn't think that Reg would be able to figure out this answer on his own in a short time, so he simply said it himself: "The male fire dragon is a monster with a very strong sense of territory, it will attack any predator that enters its territory to defend its territory and dignity, and my flashbang, as well as the sonic boom bomb that is deliberately thrown high to make the sound travel farther, can attract the attention of the male fire dragon and make it quickly come to the place of the incident." ”

"But how do you know that the dragon must have noticed the glare of the flashbang and the sound of the sonic boom? What if it's sleeping? ”

"Also, even if the Male Fire Dragon does appear, why do you have the confidence to believe that the Male Fire Dragon will not attack us, but will attack the Red Speed Dragons?"

Hearing Red Star's words, Reg immediately raised two questions.

"No, at this time, the male fire dragon must be patrolling his territory in the sky, as long as you know a little about the ecology and rest time of the male fire dragon, you can judge this."

Of course, this knowledge was learned by Red Star from the library, looking through the scholars' ecological research on the male fire dragon.

It can be said that in the three months in the library, although Red Star did not get what he wanted, the knowledge he gained was immeasurable!

"As for why the male fire dragon doesn't attack us, but attacks the red speed dragon group, I also said just now, its domain concept is very strong, for it, the red speed dragon group of predators enter its territory, it is an invasion, it is an invader, and we humans, unless it has suffered a loss in the hands of hunters before, it will only treat us as prey."

Prey is a reserve of food, which can be taken at any time, and there is never a reason to drive away the prey in one's own territory, just like a noble lord driving away all the peasants in his territory, it is impossible to happen.

And the invader is the enemy, and he must strike at the enemy as soon as possible!

This is the reason why the male fire dragon glanced at the red star before and ignored it, and went after the fleeing red speed dragon group.

"That's ...... like this"

After listening to Red Star's words, Reg was shocked, he didn't expect that the truth that he couldn't understand was so simple.

But being able to think of these things in that situation, and use various means to calmly complete the layout, in Regg's eyes, the image of the red star suddenly became unclear to him.

"Red Star...... Are you really just a trainee hunter like me? ”

"Maybe......"

Maybe Red Star is really different in strength compared to Regg, but after meeting Silver Moon and these dragon hunters, and learning about the awakening, Red Star knows that there is actually no essential difference between himself and Regg, they are both ordinary humans who have worked hard all their lives and can't cross that hurdle.

It's just that compared to other Terran hunters who [don't know the truth], [don't try if they know the truth], and [can't try even if they know the truth], and [can't try even if they know the truth], Red Star is the only Terran hunter who [knows the truth, and has the ability and means to try]!

"Let's go back, there are not many cold drinks."

In volcanic areas, it is difficult to move an inch without cold drinks.

Reg was just doing an ordinary collection mission, and he didn't prepare too many cold drinks at all, and these days, it was always Red Star who gave the cold drinks he prepared to Rege, so that he could follow Red Star all the way to this place.

As a result, the stock of cold drinks that had been planned to be enough for Red Star to explore the crater alone was naturally insufficient.

But Red Star has no regrets or complaints about Regg's joining in the footsteps.

It's just because he knows that if he lets trainee hunter Regg go back alone, there is a high chance that something will happen.

"Eh, are you going back? Good, good! I'll pack up right away! ”

Reg immediately showed a happy expression on his face, following the Red Star these days, he was really frightened, and now when he heard the news that he was going back, his whole person was refreshed.

So, Red Star and Reg set off on their return journey before they ran out of cold drinks.
