Chapter Seventy-Five: The Princess of the Underworld (1)
If it weren't for the fact that Wen Long and Catherine had formed a considerable degree of tacit understanding due to the previous hunting, then this operation might not have been so perfect.
At the moment when the golden butterfly exploded, Catherine's big sword blocked the heat wave and fire generated by the explosion, and Wen Long behind him dragged the bespectacled woman to a safe position in time. After the explosion, Wenlong and Catherine were unharmed, while Lindis only suffered a slight injury when she fell, and there was no big problem.
Then I looked at the golden butterfly in front of me, but it had disappeared without a trace with the explosion.
"Now, the one with glasses, are you alright? Meow? ”
Looking at the bespectacled woman lying on the ground still a little panicked, Wen Long asked.
"I ...... I'm fine......" The woman with glasses struggled to stand up while panting, and at the same time touched the satchel on her body, and saw that the contents of the satchel were still there, and her face was much lighter.
"It's good that the notebook and the thing that recorded this research are still ......."
Then the bespectacled woman said to Wenlong and Catherine: "My name is Lindis, I am a bachelor from the Royal Academy, and I am responsible for studying monsters recorded in ancient texts...... Someone has been injured, and I hope you can contact the Hunters' Guild to rescue you! ”
"Someone hurt?" Wen Long was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is the injured person a kid named Claude?" Meow? ”
"Exactly, how do you know?" Lindis was a little surprised.
"Because we're hunters who are here to investigate! Of course, Uncle Ben is much stronger than that guy, meow! Wenlong explained.
"Is that so? That's great," Lindis said happily, "Then please contact the Hunters' Guild, if you don't have the contact information, you can use this ...... left for me by my companion."
After saying that, Lindis took out a long cylindrical object from her bag, Wen Long took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Catherine on the side.
"I really brought a good thing, and sure enough, the treatment of high-level hunters is different," Wen Long looked at the cylinder and said with some envy, "This is a means to summon the guild's support at any time...... So let's set this flare on fire...... Meow. ”
"Flares?" Catherine, who took the cylinder, was a little confused.
"You've always played fireworks, right? Stupid woman! Wen Long scolded.
"Oh, okay, Mr. Cat."
Catherine then placed the long cylindrical object upright on the ground. Then Catherine used flint to ignite the fuse at the bottom of the long barrel, and in an instant a red flare flew into the sky with a long trajectory, and then fell slowly, which was particularly eye-catching.
Just as Catherine lit the flare, Wen Long took a few steps forward and picked up a thin golden wing from the ground.
That was the part that was cut off by Wenlong with a double knife before, because it was cut by a double knife, so it did not disappear instantly with the explosion, but temporarily remained.
However, after being touched by Wenlong's hand, this thin wing immediately seemed to be weathered, turned into powder and disappeared without a trace.
And so it was...... The starfeather butterfly disappears when it dies...... Meow. ”
Wenlong muttered to himself.
"If there was something uncertain before, now it can be said to be certain...... This time, the opponent should be 'Star Dragon', meow! ”
Hearing that Wen Long actually said the name of the mysterious monster accurately this time, Lindis on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Star Dragon? Is it really the legendary star dragon known as the 'Princess of the Underworld' and the 'Dragon of the Stars'? And what is this big golden butterfly? Is it really related to the Star Dragon? ”
Lindis's knowledge of the so-called Star Dragons was only known from books, and most of these books were only written records.
So although Lindis had speculated that it might be a star dragon based on some scattered information, she had never seen what a star dragon looked like. As for whether this golden butterfly has any direct relationship with the star dragon, Lindis naturally doesn't know.
So when Lindis was shocked when she heard that Wenlong had confirmed that the mysterious monster was the Star Dragon with just the thin wings of a large butterfly.
"Of course it is, compared to those of you who study materials in the library when you have nothing to do, Uncle Ben often deals with this kind of monster, meow." Wenlong said.
"Often? You mean...... Do you often see this kind of monster that only appears in ancient books? The shock on Lindis's face suddenly turned into a look of adoration, "Then this Eluk Cat, I have studied Star Dragons for many years, please tell me everything you know about ......"
Halfway through speaking, Lindis suddenly realized that now didn't seem to be the time to study the sciences, and then changed her words: "This Eluscat-sama, please tell me everything you know about the Star Dragon after this mission is completed!" ”
"Uncle Ben has to charge for business consulting...... Meow. Wen Long, who saw that the signal flare had been lifted into the air, was a little perfunctory, and then threw a bottle of recovery medicine G to Lindis, who had multiple abrasions on her body, "This is recovery medicine G, drink it, and then wait here for the rescue of the Hunter Guild, meow." ”
Then Wen Long turned to Catherine and said, "Then let's go, let's go and complete this investigation mission now, and save that kid named Claude by the way, otherwise if that guy dies, our bet will be completely ruined, meow!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Cat." Catherine nodded, and immediately followed Wen Long's pace.
In this way, Wenlong and Catherine followed the direction indicated by Lindis, and encountered the same golden "Star Feather Butterfly" many times along the way. However, because Wen Long and Catherine explained the characteristics of the Star Feather Butterfly, although the frequency of encountering the Star Feather Butterfly is getting higher and higher, Wen Long and Catherine still deal with it with ease.
Then Wenlong and Catherine finally reached their destination.
It was an open area, and Wen Long and Catherine could faintly see a person lying on the ground motionless in the distance, not knowing whether he was unconscious or lost his life. Then, not far from the human, a huge dragon was approaching the human lying on the ground.
"It's Xinglong, right...... It's almost no different from the game......" Wenlong confirmed in his heart.
The distant Star Dragon has some of the characteristics of the Wyvern species, but has a more slender tail and shorter wings than a regular Wyvern. Its entire body is covered in red scales, and the back of its head has two long horns that extend backwards. What's even more peculiar is that there is a hot energy similar to magma flowing in the front chest of this star dragon, which seems to show people the uniqueness of this creature of the star dragon.
