"Hey, looking at the fish swimming in the clear water, but not having time to fish, this feeling of regret is indescribable."

Starting from the stronghold of the stars, Aziz sighed as he patrolled west along the coast.

It may be difficult for others to empathize with him, but Lin, who is known as the "lonely fish investigator", knows the feeling of itching all over his body.

But as a senior who has been in the New World for several years, he is obliged to teach Azi, "Don't rush, Azi, don't rush, it's like fishing, let's be patient."

There are not many of these fish that can be seen on the beach, they are nothing more than some common sailfish, tuna and the like, which can be seen anywhere.

What's really interesting is the special fish hidden in the mysterious waters.

Just like last time, I saw a pink alien fish in a small inconspicuous waterhole in the northeast of the Ancient Tree Forest, and I had never seen a fish like that before.

As soon as we thought that we must catch it, a group of fierce jackals rushed out, and we had no choice but to flee for our lives. ”

The more Lin said, the more angry he became, "Damn! After that time, I thought that I must bring the hunters with me next time, but when the hunters of the fourth group heard that it was 'just for the sake of fishing' a fish that they had never seen before, they all said they were not interested!

It's a pink alien fish you've never seen before! The existence of the New World Fish Book can be refreshed! ”

"What a pity! Why don't you go now? Az's eyes were shining.

Lin twisted his face and struggled, and finally shook his head with difficulty, "No, it's too far, we have to complete the coastal reconnaissance mission given by the commander-in-chief first."

Next time! We'll go together on the next vacation, and we'll catch that kind of fish anyway! ”

"Oh!" Aziz raised his arms and cheered.

"Wait, look over there! Is that one?! Lin widened his eyes and pointed to a colorful fish fin that appeared out of the water in the bay not far away, like the imperial flag.

Azi looked in the direction of Lin's finger and jumped up as well.

"It's a sailfish!"

"Oooooo!!oo

The two men took out their fishing rods in unison and ran wildly towards the bay.

The imperial sailfish have swam in front of you, and what are you patrolling! It's lunch break!

In the woodland east of the Giant Tree, Evelyn and Ferdy spotted strange claw marks.

The reason why I say "strange" is because Ms. Pope, who claims to know everything about all the species in the ancient tree forest, said that she had never seen such claw marks.

"The claw marks are long, narrow, but deep, and they must have been left by some kind of large monster with sharp claws." Evelyn gently stroked the edge of the claw mark, "Consider this top-down angle.

It should have been left by some kind of wyvern, or an ornithrosaur monster. ”

Ferdy also pinched his chin, "Indeed, it's a bit like a sleeping bird, but the claw marks of the sleeping bird should be wider, so is there a sleeping bird in the New World?" ”

Ecological investigator Pope shook his head, "So far, the only bird and dragon monsters found in the New World are the black wolf bird, the poisonous demon bird and the scratching bird, and even the extremely widely distributed monster bird has no exact sighting record.

If I'm not mistaken, it's probably a species that came in from other regions, so it's hard to say what it is. ”

"Other areas." Evelyn stood up, "Do you mean the Great Ant Grave Wasteland, or from the Terrestrial Coral Terrace across the canyon?" ”

"The probability of the terrestrial coral plateau is higher, and because of the presence of the Grand Canyon, it is difficult for the survey team to climb over the canyon and enter the area where the terrestrial coral plateau is located.

There are only masters of the wilderness, and sometimes they will hike over the Grand Canyon to exchange information and ecological information with the research base of the third group.

As a result, our understanding of terrestrial coral mesa organisms is limited.

As for the Great Ant Grave Wasteland, I don't brag about it, I still know a lot about the creatures over there, and there shouldn't be any creature with claw marks like this. ”

As he spoke, the enthusiastic ecological investigator took some soil samples from the inside of the claw marks and put them in the insect guide cage, and said to Evelyn with a smile:

"That's the point of daily patrols, as it's not uncommon for large monsters to leave their original habitats, and the situations are varied, occasionally bringing out some crucial information.

Our task is to collect as much information as possible, report it to the Institute of Ecology, which will analyze it and present it to the Commander-in-Chief. ”

Evelyn and Ferdy nodded in understanding.

The guide insects will be a little slower to extract the scent from the soil, but soon, these amazing tiny creatures will also be discovered, and they will flutter somewhere.

The three of them hurriedly followed.

A few hundred meters away from the claw marks, they found traces of frost on a bush.

Evelyn picked up some ice gravel and twisted it on her fingertips, then sniffed it under her nose, "It's not pure water, it could be caused by some kind of monster breath." ”

Pop's face changed slightly, she had some guesses in her mind, and her expression became nervous.

But after thinking about it, these two around me are both high-level hunters, it seems that there is no need to be so nervous?

"The Land Coral Plateau is home to a gregarious wyvern called Reggiana (Wind Drifter), which may be the one that has the ability to create frost.

According to the classification standards of the Old World, the danger level of this monster is about four stars, and if it is an outlier, it is better to say, if an entire group invades the ancient tree forest, it will be a great thing. ”

Ferdy suddenly raised his hand to signal his companions to be quiet, he closed his eyes and listened for a moment, "In the northeast, there is movement, and there may be large monsters fighting for territory. ”

It is precisely this direction that the guide insect leads.

Evelyn frowned slightly, she didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected event on her first mission, "Considering the extreme situation of multiple wyvern species appearing at the same time, let's approach secretly." ”

Pop nodded, and put on the hood of the invisibility cloak he was wearing.

The group of three carefully walked in the direction from which the sound came from, taking cover from the lush vegetation in the forest.

After walking like this for more than ten minutes, the guide insects that meandered into a path of light in the air suddenly dispersed.

Pope immediately pressed down on his palm, made a "hidden" gesture, and lowered his voice: "It's around here!" ”

Evelyn and Ferdy hurriedly crouched down and used those low plants with huge leaves to hide themselves completely.

"Boom!"

The canopy that obscured the sky was washed away, and two entangled and scuffled figures fell from the sky.

Evelyn silently looked up, squinting at the two frantically crushing and biting monsters in midair.

Among them, the one with the red and black scale armor is all too familiar - the king of the sky, the male fire dragon.

But the male dragons of the New World seem to be slightly different from the individuals of the Old World? It feels thicker and has wider wings.

The other monster, also of the Wyvern species, was one size smaller than the male fire dragon, with a relatively slender body, and the pointed beak of a bird of prey was spread out, emitting bursts of sharp whistling.

"Ratcht-"

With the flick of its wings, a strong wind with frost enveloped the male fire dragon.

"Roar!"

The male fire dragon roared back with an even more majestic roar, and swooped straight up against the freezing air.

With the advantage of its size and strength, it quickly gained the upper hand in melee combat.

The venomous claws were embedded deep in the body of the unknown wyvern, and as the venom was infused, the wyvern screamed and wailed, and its counterattack became weaker and weaker.

Eventually, it was shot down and fell to the ground.

The male dragon swooped down, trampling his opponent with his claws, and roaring up to the sky to swear victory.

"Whoa, whoa——!"

Looking at the purple membrane, which was completely different from the blue in the intelligence, Pop was stunned and said, "This, yes. Wind Drifter. Is it? ”

Ps. Purple Wind Drifter is an unidentified creature from the canon set, which can be understood as an individual whose sightings have been recorded by members of the third phase of the group, but no tangible evidence (corpse) has been obtained.

It's not a subspecies, it's a flash at most (string play).
