"Dragon~?!

Did I mishear it, or did I have a problem with your pronunciation? Does such a mythical creature really exist in the world? Tina said incredulously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You shouldn't have any problems with your hearing, and my pronunciation is pretty standard. I mean, you heard it right, we're going to capture a dragon this time! ”

Bruce? Geller pulled out a stack of documents from the confidential information box next to him and handed it to Tina. Attached to it is a blurry photograph that clearly shows the part of the dragon's body illuminated by the firelight as it burrowed into the crater. Because the pixels are so clear, even the scales on its body can be seen clearly. The Dr. continues:

"No one knows where this large flying creature that seems to be a giant dragon came from in the first place. Instead, it flew to the St. Helens crater one evening. The roar of the dragon that resounded in the sky startled the civilians in the town.

At first, the 'dragon' acted very blatantly. It landed directly on a local farm after it was dark and swallowed two bulls in one fell swoop before it was discovered. A daring citizen followed it all the way to the St. Helens crater in an SUV and took this photo.

But after that, no matter what method the military used, it would not leave the crater again. Some people even wonder if it has long since left. ”

Brushing ~~, Tina kept flipping through pages of information, and when she saw that the estimated length of this giant dragon was more than ten meters long, she could no longer adhere to her scientific concepts.

"Oh, God~!" She said as she covered her mouth with a pale face.

"Wait, are we too little manpower?"

Newt also skimmed the photo of the "dragon" and asked in a bit of a panic:

"In mythology, aren't dragons supposed to be able to breathe flames, be invulnerable, and even know dragon magic or something? The worst should be like the Scow spear in "The Lord of the Rings", which can easily slaughter the city, right? We're going to grab it with a helicopter, isn't it too much to take it for granted! ”

"Of course we don't have more than that......

After such a fuss about the flying creature that seemed to be a dragon, the vicinity of the St. Helen crater had long been placed under martial law by the army. Next to the town, not far from there, there was a whole division of marines. If necessary, they will all be dispatched. The captain of the Navy SEALs explained.

In other words, the people who are on the plane now are just going to investigate and explore the way. You didn't even think you could succeed with us? ”

"If you insist, of course you can say that." The captain shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently.

“fuck~！” *n, all the people at the Biological Research Institute opened their mouths and cursed.

"We, now, can we still quit?" Mary asked timidly.

Click~, click~~, the neat sound of bullets being loaded came from the group of SEALs, answering their questions.

……

A few hours later, on a high ground near the crater of St. Helens, the helicopter slowly landed on a flat boulder. A dry mermaid on the plane rushed down......

The Navy SEALs immediately skillfully inspected their weapons and equipment, and several strong soldiers carried a large box from the helicopter, opened it, and took out various large-caliber firearms and ammunition, powerful tranquilizer rounds, etc...... And a few people from the Institute of Biology were a little overwhelmed.

"What are we supposed to do?" Bruce? Geller asked the captain.

"Do what you have to do! Just like before. Find the whereabouts of the big one, or figure out a way to lure it up, and we'll take care of the rest. The captain said.

"Well, it looks like it's a daunting task." Newt spat weakly.

However, these things are familiar to people at the Institute of Biology. They also took off their gear and some gas masks and crawled towards the crater......

……

"How? Our No. 1 student. ”

In front of a computer connected to a data collection device, Tina asked Newt angrily with a gas mask urn. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she is indeed inferior to Newt, who is full of scientific theories, at the hard level of academic research.

"Hey~, you really should check this out!"

Newt excitedly tapped on the keyboard as he showed off the thermal images and processed data from the computer to Tina.

"See this lizard-shaped red tile in the thermal image of the magma area? Don't look at him as if he only has a finger, its actual size must be at least twenty meters. It seems that the previous photo was not processed well, or it has grown again. You wait for me to get the robot closer...... Now you can see it clearly.

What a nice big guy! You see, it's soaked in lava, but its temperature is completely different from the surrounding magma. It was as if all the heat that was close to him had been absorbed into his body. If this is not a legendary dragon, I am the first to disbelieve it! ”

Newt's face flushed with excitement, and he even completely forgot about his own danger.

"Wait, look here!"

Tina's eyes froze, and she flicked the mouse with her hand, magnifying the lizard-shaped tile several times. Shows a temperature zone on its neck that is out of step with the rest of the world.

"Oops~! Too close, and the data acquisition robot fell into the lava. …… Newt, don't look at me like that. Anyway, the military is responsible for underwriting the attrition, and they will buy you a new robot.

What does this shape look like, though? Like a ...... Scar! Could it be that the people of the army have already fought against him before? It's not right, looking at this shape, it is clearly cut out of a cold weapon. But who could actually slash this twenty-meter-long dragon with a cold weapon? ”

"Nature is a transcendent person!" A voice came from behind her ear.

"You know......" Tina turned her head to look at the commando captain who didn't know when he was standing beside them.

"That's not a question you should ask. I now wonder how the hell are you going to bring it to me! The captain interrupted Tina's questioning with a wave and went straight to the point.

"It's not that hard! If it's really a dragon. Newt replied casually. Seeing that the eyes of others turned to him, Newt perked up and said his words:

"Ordinary creatures have their own territorial awareness, and the more powerful the creatures, the more so. And the dragon is an extremely arrogant race, so it will never allow the breath of other powerful creatures to appear in its territory. Once it appears, it means a provocation, and the dragon should not run away. ”

"But the question is, where are we going to find the feces or materials of this powerful creature that could be a dragon? …… If the bait we find isn't strong enough, the dragon may just think it's a tasty piece of food from the territory and simply ignore it. Mary wondered as well.

"Blue whale!" *2, Newt and Bruce? Dr. Geller said almost in unison.

With a maximum body length of more than 30 meters and a weight of more than 200 tons, this giant is undoubtedly the largest animal on earth. Its exaggerated size alone is enough to discourage all known carnivorous sea creatures.

Although the blue whale lives in the sea, this creature that appears to be a giant dragon is not necessarily aware of it. If unfortunately fails, they can find another way. But what if it succeeds?!
