680. The 'thugs' who broke through the news, the roadblocks
The old man of the Douding Dragon Terran finally took away his "Surrender the Bubble Fox Dragon in Another Method".
After all, everyone is this age, although Lan En thinks that this old man of the dragon race can live for a few decades, but at least he is old enough.
No one can say anything about the small books that are good for physical and mental health.
Didn't the material squad responsible for running the sea from the Old Continent say anything?
So Lan En started his school career again: he was responsible for transporting, sorting books and ecological records, and reading the books he was interested in.
During this time, he was also familiar with the scholars of the Institute of Ecology.
After all, in an elite gathering place like the Star Stronghold, there are very few people who have the strength of hunters and the knowledge of scholars.
Lan En, on the other hand, obviously has a deep knowledge reserve, but he is a different person from their field.
So not only are these scholars answering questions for Lan En, but in the process, scholars also have their own gains.
So after coming and going, everyone can talk about it very much.
And Lan En took advantage of the moment to ask the director of the institute the question he had just thought.
"Why was the mission of the Investigation Mission so slow before the arrival of the Fifth Mission?"
The old dragon man looked up from the book that was blocking his face and pushed the frame of his glasses.
"Ah, you're from another world. Then it is normal to have such doubts. Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed to say.,It's just that you can't beat powerful monsters.。 ”
"Can't beat it?" Rann picked up a large stack of books in one hand and shifted it to the redefined area.
"How so? That guy who is a master of swordsmanship, he feels fierce just by looking at it! And there are also the elites of the first phase of the legendary regiment, the Grand Master, the insect stick hunter of the dragon race, and the master of the wilderness. It all sounds amazing. ”
"You're right, but before the arrival of the fifth phase of the New World Investigation Mission, the highest hunting tasks were only the Barbarian Jawed Dragon and the Female Fire Dragon."
Facing Lan En, who was surprised and raised his eyebrows, the director of the institute said in the same tone as when he took away the little yellow book.
"You have to figure it out, Lanne. The Gulongdu survey in the New World is a large-scale project that has lasted for decades. So far, each of the five phases has its own mission. ”
"The first phase of the group brought together the top talents in all aspects in order to gain a foothold in the ecologically complex and unknown New World."
"The technicians of the second regiment are responsible for building the stronghold, the scholars of the third regiment are responsible for starting research, and the material team of the fourth regiment is responsible for expanding the stronghold and making the materials self-sufficient."
As you know now, everything in the past few decades has actually been just to lay a foundation. After the foundation was laid, the 5th Regiment, which was responsible for the combat power, landed in the New World, ready to break through all the factors that hindered the investigation with its sword-like combat effectiveness. ”
"So do you think we, the group that is dedicated to 'laying the foundation', will have any great hunters? It's not easy to barely deal with the brute-jawed dragon and the female fire dragon. ”
"In the first phase of the group, there are indeed legendary hunters. The master of swordsmanship and the Grand Master are all legendary figures who are famous for a while. The well-known "Illustrated Biology of the New World" is a product of their active period. It is also the only investigation report that the New World Investigation Team has been able to get hold of so far. ”
"But it's precisely because they're legendary characters that they're often fluctuating, because the goal of these people has always been Gu Long."
"And after decades, although I don't accept old age, but in fact"
The director of the institute shrugged.
"Maybe even now, when the target of the sword master appears in front of his eyes, he may not be qualified to draw his sword against it, right?"
"The goal of the Sword Master?"
"Flame King Dragon. He had been chasing this ancient dragon for a long time, and it was said that it was because of its courage like a crown of the scorching sun, which made him eager to take on the challenge. It is also rumored that he escaped from the clutches of this ancient dragon once, so he wants to challenge it again. ”
Flame King Dragon, whose scientific name is Theo Discatol.
A type of ancient dragon with the universal skeleton of an ancient dragon - wings and four legs, and the physical characteristics are somewhat like that of a lion.
According to Lan's tutoring during this time, this ancient dragon is said to 'stay in one place for too long, it can even turn the surrounding environment into lava scorched earth'.
This kind of power that can profoundly affect the surrounding environment just by existing is one of the characteristics of ancient dragons.
Lan En thought to himself.
In this world, if there is any creature that makes him most curious and wants to get a glimpse of its ecological habits and body structure, it is of course the legendary ancient dragons.
In this world, ancient dragons are often considered god-like characters.
In ancient times, human beings worshiped and feared natural disasters and the climate, all gathered on these embodied organisms that seemed to be the embodiment of nature.
Storms, tsunamis, fires, thunderstorms.
If through the study of the ecology of this world, Lan En understands that basically all monsters have a relatively 'scientific' explanation.
Only cologne. These creatures are like characters from a magic set.
Even the style of painting in books is different!
And just as Lan En was thinking about the information about the ancient dragon species, it seemed that some exciting news came back from outside the star stronghold.
The hunters fit into Lan's stereotype and began to cheer cheerfully and enthusiastically. There is no intention of suppressing feelings at all.
The happy atmosphere seemed to be contagious, and in a short time it spread from the dining area on the third floor to the forging area on the second floor, and it was still spreading downward, and it was about to reach the circulation area on the first floor.
And when Rann came back to his senses, trying to hear what the hunters were cheering for.
The Commander-in-Chief and Little Jack were one step ahead of the news and came to Ran, who was messing around in the stacks of books.
The Commander-in-Chief's dark face rarely showed obvious emotion, which was one of the differences between him and the average hunter.
But little Jack understood much better.
His expression was mixed with surprise and anticipation.
"Got news of the Molten Mountain Dragon?"
Before the commander-in-chief could speak, Lan En made a guess without panic. All of us in the mission have been working towards this goal for a long time.
And little Jack's expression told him that he was completely right.
"As soon as the news came back, the recommendation team clarified the trajectory of the molten mountain dragon in the Great Ant Tomb Wasteland, and asked the walking pterosaur to send back the investigation report."
The Commander-in-Chief nodded his head, formally acknowledging Lan's guess before moving on to details.
"This is an unprecedented opportunity for us, and we are ready to try to intercept the Molten Mountain Dragon in its path, and even if we can't stop it, we can gain valuable ecological knowledge about it."
When it came to Gu Long, even the commander-in-chief's black face was a little red with excitement.
"Uh-huh, but the question?"
Lan tilted his head, signaling for the Commander-in-Chief to say 'but' after that.
The witcher's calm and sinister attitude brought the commander-in-chief back to his composure.
"But to stop the movement of an active volcano, it takes not only elite hunters, but also large weapons and supplies. We need to transport supplies from the Star Stronghold all the way to the Great Ant Grave Wasteland. ”
"The problem is that we've recently spotted a brute-jawed dragon hovering around the stars. It hinders the transportation of supplies. ”
"We need to get rid of this 'forest thug'."
And when the commander-in-chief said that there is a brute-jawed dragon', Lan En's heart inexplicably overflowed with a hint of familiarity.
