Gordon took the pork chops and boarded the porter, the airship they were going to be aboard this time.

Unlike the small airboat they were riding in when they set off, the airboat in front of them was quite large.

Of course, it still can't be compared with the dragon ship, which is called the "air research base", but it is almost the level of the Isana, which belongs to the heavy cargo airship.

And he didn't take a convenient boat, this cargo airboat was going for the two "unruly flying dragons".

After he anesthetized the two wyverns, a team of professionals on the airship would transport them so that the scholars could complete their research.

Of course, if there are dragon eggs or cubs, the project scholars will probably be happier if they have a family.

The cargo airship took off slowly.

Compared to ordinary small airboats, this heavy airboat with three large airbags is much slower and more stable, and the upper take-off weight is surprisingly high, otherwise it would not be possible to transport the electric dragon and the female fire dragon back at the same time.

On the extraordinarily wide deck of the cargo airship, Gordon met with the head of the research project, who was also the commissioner of the "Love" mission.

A male scholar of the Dragon-Man clan who wears thick glasses and looks like he is about forty years old, but his actual age is unknown.

"Mr. Hunter, I'm going to trouble you this time." The scholar was quite enthusiastic, taking the initiative to shake Gordon's hand and then shake his paw with the pork chop, "I'm Issa, specializing in animal behavior.

Cases of cross-species mates are extremely rare among large monsters, and courtship and mating between an electric dragon and a female fire dragon are the first of their kind, isn't it exciting? ”

Gordon's face was stiff, and his mood was rather odd.

He could also understand why Hayatta was reluctant to join the mission, what mating behavior between electric dragons and female fire dragons, and what cross-species reproduction.

Although it is a serious biological investigation in nature, it always gives the impression that the mission is not serious.

"Mr. Isa, I don't know much about this, but we'll capture those two electric dragons and the female fire dragon as completely as possible."

"Complete?"

"Ahem." Gordon cleared his throat, "Mr. Isa, I'm curious, is it really possible for an electric dragon and a female fire dragon to give birth to offspring?" ”

It's not just to divert the subject, Gordon does care about this issue.

After all, the lead researcher had personally promised that the Dragon Academy was willing to buy the "half-blood cubs" for twice the reward for the mission.

That's 100,000z, and the reward for the seven-star mission is not so high, although he is not short of money at the moment, but for the sake of some things in the future, he plans to save more.

It can be seen that Issa loves the subject he is studying very much, and once he talks about the content related to his major, he will speak a little louder.

"Theoretically, there is this possibility, the fire dragon and the electric dragon belong to the same order of the dragon plate, the suborder of the dragon foot, and the lower order of the crustacean dragon of the upper family of the flying dragon, which belongs to the family of fire dragon and the family of electric dragon.

In short, the kinship of these two types of wyverns is quite close, almost equivalent to, well, the great monster bird and the black wolf bird, the dog dragon and the sleeping dog dragon.

If there is a mating between the two, there is a high probability that fertilization will fail, but there is also a possibility that a new species will be born, but their offspring will lose their ability to reproduce completely. ”

Gordon tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The shrewd guy of the lead researcher, no wonder he deliberately emphasized that it was the "cubs" of the electric dragon and the female fire dragon that he was willing to buy at a high price instead of the "dragon eggs".

Because there is a high probability that dragon eggs will not hatch.

"If a new species is born, the Electric Dragon? It feels like it's going to be strong, and maybe you can make some special equipment. Gordon's mind began to jump.

Mr. Isa's expression froze visibly.

From the perspective of a scholar, he focuses on cross-species mating and the possibility of the birth of hybrid cubs per se, while Gordon, a hunter, is full of thoughts about what can be done by peeling the skin and bones after karma.

He immediately added solemnly, "Mr. Hunter, whether you find a dragon egg or a cub, please be sure not to hurt it, it is a very important object to observe. ”

"Yes, yes." Gordon promised simply, of course he wouldn't hurt it, after all, he could exchange a lot of money.

"That's right, Mr. Hunter." Mr. Issa nudged the lenses, which were so heavy that he couldn't see his eyes clearly, "That may be too much to ask, but can you take me with you on the hunt?"

I wanted to get a closer look at how electric dragons behave with female fire dragons, which might help solve the puzzle of cross-species courtship. ”

"Nope." Gordon shook his head decisively and refused, "If there is only one target, maybe there is still something to discuss."

However, the target of this capture is two large wyverns, and if one of them suddenly bypasses me and attacks you during the battle, it is very likely that it will be dangerous. ”

"I'm running fast!" Mr. Issa was unwilling: "Before joining the Dragon Academy, I was also a member of the paleontology scrivener team, and I had many years of field research experience. ”

As he spoke, as if to prove his word, he lifted up his scholar's robe rather indecently, showing Gordon his thicker recurved feet and calves than the average draconian scholar.

"I'm not a nerdy scholar, but I spend most of my time in the wilderness!

I'm good at finding cover, how to hide myself, how to evade tracking, and how to use props like manure bombs and flashbangs! ”

Gordon's brow furrowed.

From a personal point of view, of course, he didn't want to bring this oil bottle, but he also saw that this Mr. Issa belonged to the same category as Professor and Alva.

For the sake of knowledge, in order to satisfy curiosity, their own lives are secondary to them.

He tried to refuse, but he always thought that this guy would sneak up after he left the camp.

Gordon frowned and was silent, Mr. Issa was still chattering, "I also prepared an invisibility suit, you know the invisibility suit?" Hiding in the bushes in that one, even the Wyvern species can't spot me."

Pork Chop suddenly pulled down the corner of Gordon's armor, "Maybe you can meow like this, and let Mr. Issa walk with us and observe Meow before the battle happens."

When the battle broke out, Mr. Issa had to leave Meow, and there was no 'intimacy' between the electric dragon and the female fire dragon at that time.

Meow, who will escort Mr. Issa back to the camp safely, but before he returns, Gordon will have to fight the two dragons alone. ”

Gordon pondered for a few seconds, then finally let go and let go, "It's not a big problem to fight the electric dragon alone and the female fire dragon.

Mr. Issa, I can agree that you will go with you, but you must be assured that you must follow my arrangement with the Pork Chop when you are in the field, and that you must leave before the battle breaks out.

And you have to wear invisibility clothing all the time, and self-preservation is the first priority, and I don't want to bring your bones with me on the way back, and I'm afraid the chief will be very angry when I see that scene. ”

Under Mr. Isa's heavy glasses, there was a sudden glow of excitement, "Of course, of course! I'll be obedient when I'm in the field, and with so much research left undone, I don't want to die early.

And I'll pay extra! Well, research funding is tight, and money may not be much.

How about I give you a copy of the analysis report on the behavior of various monsters sorted out by our research group? It may help you with your hunting in the future. ”

"Huh?!" Gordon's eyes lit up.

The notebook that the professor gave him a few years ago had helped him so much that if it was such a thing, he was naturally interested.

"That doesn't seem like a bad thing."
