The news brought back by the hunter team attracted the attention of the top management of the investigation team, including the commander-in-chief.

The Commander-in-Chief convened an emergency meeting, and this time not only the backbone of each department, but also the high-ranking hunters who were currently in the Star Stronghold were also called.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, the commander-in-chief got straight to the point.

"The team led by the spearman Dono, during the mission to investigate the dragon that haunted the Molten Mountain Canyon, discovered an extremely large broken dragon.

After description, it can basically be determined that it is an extremely rare special individual of the Broken Dragon, the Critical Broken Dragon. ”

Hearing this, hunters reacted differently.

Like Feng Ying, she didn't have any special experience, she had never hunted, and she had never even seen a creature like a broken dragon with her own eyes.

It is only known that it is a large beast dragon species with a danger level second only to the dinosaur, and the danger level of the ordinary original species is as high as six stars, and the existence of the top layer of the ecological chain has no natural enemies.

Hayatta pinched her chin and fell into memory.

The first time she came into contact with a monster like the Broken Dragon was during the period when she traveled with the brigade and cultivated.

After a brief encounter with the depths of the volcano, she was no match for the Broken Dragon, and after a thrilling battle, she found an opportunity and hurriedly evacuated.

The second time was after coming to the New World, he cooperated with Gael to hunt a head, and this is how Gail's [Iron Fist] came about.

Although they were already seven-star hunters at that time, they were still hunting in pairs, but the battle with the broken dragon was still not easy.

The power of those explosive slime molds, and the ferocious way they fought with the Broken Dragon, still impressed her.

And that's just the original species.

In general, the danger level of a subspecies or a particular individual is one or two levels higher than that of the original species.

In other words, this so-called "Critical Broken Dragon" may even have a threat comparable to that of an ancient dragon.

The reaction of the alcohol trio was even more pronounced, and they looked at each other.

Ted raised his hand, "Well, that broken dragon you are talking about, we may have encountered it." ”

Everyone looked.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have some unremembered, Ted told the story of the alcohol team's encounter with the Broken Dragon Mother and Child in the Molten Mountain Canyon, the discovery of ancient slime fungi, the young being blown up alive, and the mother beast being seriously injured and dying, and finally struggling to survive and staggering away.

The leader of the research class unfolded a huge book, "Speaking of which, it is indeed mentioned in the guild's research materials on the Critical Dragon Crusher that the appearance of the Critical Dragon Crusher is directly related to the special slime mold.

The Broken Dragon is extremely combative, and has been searching for greater power all his life.

Ancient slime spores, which are hidden deep underground and survive under the high temperature and pressure of lava, are the best choice.

Most of the smashing dragons that obtained the ancient slime fungus strains did not survive, and were blown up alive like the cub.

Only the strongest individuals are able to survive the initial stage of symbiosis.

Even so, the extremely unstable and powerful ancient slime molds would always threaten their lives.

Their carapaces are constantly shattered, contaminated with minerals rich in volcanic lava, and reshaped under high temperatures and pressures.

It's like steel that is constantly being forged, getting harder and harder.

In order to cope with the powerful impact of the explosion of the ancient slime molds, their bodies will also develop again, and they will appear to be much larger than ordinary individuals.

This is the 'Critical Dragon Crusher'. ”

The leader of the research class closed the book and said with a serious expression: "In the guild information, there is only one record of successfully hunting the Critical Broken Dragon.

The elite team composed of four high-ranking hunters reluctantly killed them at the cost of one sacrificing one and retiring with one serious injury.

If you decide to go hunting, be prepared for the worst. ”

The commander-in-chief crossed his arms, his brow furrowed deeply, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked at the head of the research team and the director of the Institute of Ecology.

"Do you think there is a need to hunt the Critical Shattering Dragon?"

The director of the Institute of Ecology lifted his heavy glasses and said, "The Broken Dragon has a violent temperament, especially the Critical Broken Dragon that struggled to survive the repeated explosions of unstable ancient slime molds.

If it is decided not to hunt, it is advisable to find out the range of its activities, demarcate it as a forbidden area, and strictly prohibit our people from approaching, otherwise the probability of being attacked is extremely high. ”

The material squad leader grabbed his hair and said in distress: "The range of activities of the broken dragon is very large, so our transportation route to the opposite side of the Grand Canyon will be interrupted, and it will be very troublesome." ”

Feng Ying raised her hand, "Is it possible to lure that guy somewhere else?" Like the land of dragon crystallization or something.

If you have a bad temper, let it fight with the ancient dragon. ”

"It's kind of difficult." The head of the study team reminded: "In that case, you will not only have to cross the mountains, but also cross the entire terrestrial coral plateau. ”

"Yes."

The director of the Institute of Ecology spoke again, "There is one more thing that must be explained in advance.

Judging from the clues and traces found so far, it is basically certain that the Ice Dragon will move to the vicinity of the Lava Mountain Canyon next.

Although we don't know why the Ice Dragon, which is supposed to inhabit the extreme cold zone, comes to the hot volcano, we must be careful. ”

The corners of Aiden's eyes jumped, "An ancient dragon that freezes everything, and a critical broken dragon whose strength may not be inferior to that of ancient dragon-level creatures.

To hunt such a two-headed monster head-on, two full teams of high-ranking hunters are not enough.

Is it possible to provoke them into a struggle in which we can benefit? ”

Feng Ying nodded again and again, she had a similar idea before when she wanted to lure the Critical Shattered Dragon to the land of dragon crystals.

"Seems like it's going to work?" Hayatta pinched her chin, "The Critical Dragon is a hot-tempered dragon with a thirst for challenging powerful foes, and will attack almost any large creature that comes into its sight.

Gu Long is also arrogant and cannot be provoked.

If the two meet, the probability of conflict is not low. ”

The commander-in-chief groaned and nodded, "That's true, but the ancient dragon species have extremely high IQs, and it is difficult for them to use lure battles.

At the moment, it seems that the best way to do this is to continue the investigation of the Ice Dragon, and once its location is fully confirmed, find a way to lure the Critical Crusher over and cause them to break out into battle.

The hunters hide nearby, depending on the results, whether or not to intervene later. ”

The hunters exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, get ready, Anhill, Gail, Evelyn, and Ferdy are facing off against the Misty Corpse Trap in the Valley of Miasma, and I'm afraid they won't be able to join the operation.

Azi and the Sea Hunters enter the deep sea with the fishing fleet to ensure the food supply of the stars.

The current high-ranking hunters of the stars are only the alcohol team, as well as Hayata, Fengying, and Aiden, a total of six of you, as for the other hunters."

Hayatta raised his hand and said, "Unlike the Molten Mountain Dragon, a super giant ancient dragon like the Dark Lantern Dragon, it is too dangerous for a four- or five-star hunter to participate in the battle against a regular size ancient dragon-level creature. ”

The Commander-in-Chief fell silent again, and finally had to sigh, "Then please leave it to you." ”

"Ice Dragons and Critical Dragon Shatterers are both monsters that are good at special attacks, so be sure to be prepared to deal with extreme cold and blast attacks with Shattered Dragons." The director of the Institute of Ecology reminded on the side.

The Commander-in-Chief nodded heavily, "The processing house has developed special clothing to deal with the extreme cold, and as for the means to combat the blasting, maybe you can think of a way to protect the stones?" I will instruct the craftsmen to assist you in all their might. ”
