Chapter 340 Transfer of Troubles
"Indeed, I will report your views and arguments to the guild."
The old dragon man nodded seriously, "So, do you have any guesses about the real cause of the monster's chaos? Any guess is fine."
“It really does.”
Gordon took out several items from his prop belt.
“A week ago, Hayata and I accepted the mission to hunt the female Fire Dragon and set out to hunt. As a result, we witnessed a battle between the Male Fire Dragon and the Thunder Wolf Dragon for territory near the Fire Dragon’s lair.”
"Thunder Wolf Dragon?!" Ancier's reaction was a little fierce.
"Um."
Gordon picked up a piece of blue scale with burn marks, "I picked this up, it can be regarded as evidence."
The meeting manager took the scales, looked at them a few times, raised his head and asked: "You mean, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is the real culprit that caused the chaos in the northern part of the continent?"
“But is the ecological niche of Thunder Wolf Dragon so high?”
The village chief's lady was puzzled: "From the information we exchanged from Yanhuo Village, the danger level of the Thunder Wolf Dragon should be around five stars, and it won't cause such a big disturbance."
“It’s certainly not the case. I was thinking about this on the way back.”
With that said, Gordon looked at the chief of Jieyun Village and asked: "Ms. Village Chief, you are a local of Jieyun Village. Have you ever heard of monsters like the Thunder Wolf Dragon before?"
The village chief's lady shook her head decisively, "No, Thunder Wolf Dragon is very special from its shape to its ecology. If I have heard of it, I will definitely be impressed."
“So where is the habitat of Thunderwolf Dragon that could remain unknown?” Gordon continued to ask.
The village head lady understood what he wanted to say, "Lingfeng? Yes, the Lingfeng Mountain Range is steep and extremely difficult to climb, and the products are not fertile. It is impossible to build a village. No one will go there, and naturally there is no way to find it." .
Mr. Gordon, do you mean that the Thunder Wolf Dragon was driven off the Spirit Peak by the angry Lan Long? "
“Hmm.” Gordon nodded.
Ancier asked in confusion, "But this still doesn't explain how the Thunder Wolf Dragon disrupted the monster ecology in such a large area?"
Gordon scratched his chin, “We don’t know much about the ecological habits of Thunderwolf, I’m just raising a possibility.
Hayata and I witnessed the Thunder Wolf Dragon's fire dragon lair, which was far away from the area where the Anhirs encountered the Thunder Wolf Dragon, right? In other words, they were probably not the same one.
So, what if the Thunder Wolf Dragon that was driven off Lingfeng by Lanlong was not one or two, but an entire group? "
The village chief’s lady answered with a pale face:
“Then they will spread with Lingfeng as the center, continuously expand their territory, drive away the monsters that originally lived in the wild mountains and forests, and rush to Jieyun Village.”
ˆ “.”
ˆ “.”
After the meeting, the management of the assembly hall left in a hurry.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon scales that Gordon brought back as evidence were also taken away by him, and he must report all this to the guild immediately.
According to the original judgment of the guild, there is currently one six-star and two five-star hunters in Jieyun Village, which is theoretically enough to cope with most situations.
As long as they don't go to Lingfeng in a fit of convulsion and provoke Lan Long.
But now it seems that the situation is not that simple.
If Gordon's guess comes true, there will be a large group of five-star dangerous monsters of the same species running around in the northern part of the Western Continent, competing for territory.
The nature of the matter has completely changed.
In order to protect the village, hunters had no choice but to hunt monsters that were driven away from their homes by the thunder wolf dragon.
As a result, the process of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's fight for territory became smoother.
There will only be fewer and fewer monsters that can compete with the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Even if the storm caused by the Misty Dragon ends, it is impossible for these Thunder Wolf Dragons to spit out the captured territory and return to the Spiritual Peak obediently.
They are likely to be the only species occupying the upper ecological niche in the northern part of the western continent.
The relatively stable ecosystem that has been naturally formed for a long time will face collapse, and countless villages, towns, and trade routes will be affected.
The cause of all this may just be Lan Long's random actions.
However, the subsequent disasters may be more serious than the direct attack on human settlements.
There are two things that need to be done urgently right now.
The first is to report to the guild, apply for support from hunters from other gathering places, and find out the specific number of the Thunder Wolf Dragon population as soon as possible before making plans.
—Cannot create too big an ecological niche gap.
How to grasp the balance requires a lot of discussion and research, and I will be very busy after that.
The village chief’s lady no longer looked as leisurely as before.
Although she was relieved to know that Lan Long would not attack directly.
But the incident with the Thunder Wolf Dragon also made her realize that this incident will not end just as soon as it is over. If it is not handled well, the subsequent troubles may last for years or even decades.
Hunters’ actions of fighting desperately to hunt monsters and protect the village may actually affect the future of the village and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent.
This is too ironic.
It is necessary to communicate with the hunters immediately. There is no need to pursue hunting efficiency. Maybe it would be a good idea to form a team and cover each other?
Hunting missions should also be changed to focus on exploration and investigation.
Compared to the head of the assembly hall manager and the village chief’s lady.
The three Gordons seemed to feel much more relaxed.
Trouble is communicable.
After discovering the fight between Thunder Wolf and Fire Dragon and realizing the possible ecological disaster, Gordon and Hayata had a headache for several days.
Now that the message has been conveyed, the rest is left to the guild and the village chief to worry about.
Let’s just do our job as hunters.
The business is over.
Gordon and others completed their tasks and received their rewards, and then took a good soak in the hot springs. The fatigue accumulated over the past few days suddenly dissipated.
The next thing to do is to have a big meal.
However, the Yuyun Meeting House, which is also used as a hot spring hotel, does not have the long and wide drinking table like the public tavern in Higashi Doruma.
People here in Jieyun Village seem to prefer to sit on the ground facing short men in a relatively private space.
The food on the table was exquisite and light, but the portion was relatively small. Gordon had to order two more portions before he could barely finish his meal.
At this time, he was lazily sitting on the soft cushion, stroking the pig's hair, "Anhil, your Velociraptor suit should have been ready, why didn't I see you wearing it?"
Just now, he felt a little strange. Anxier was always wearing regular clothes.
Anhil's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment, and his face turned a little dark, as if he was unwilling to answer this question.
Feng Ying on the side suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha, because this guy is too white, hahaha!"
Anhil threw a piece of pea pod on Feng Ying's head and said angrily: "Shut up!"
Gordon was instantly interested, and even Hayata looked over curiously.
What does it mean to be too white?
“Why, it doesn’t look good on me?” Gordon sat up and asked with interest.
He knew that Ancier had always been a person who paid great attention to the appearance of equipment, and equipment that looked too weird would generally not be considered.
“No.” Anhil continued with a straight face.
“It’s okay now, so just put it on and show it to us.”
“I’m also curious, meow!”
“No.” Anhil refused simply.
Gordon smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, what are you hiding? You will definitely see it when hunting in two days."
Anhil: "."
“You think, instead of being laughed at then, why not let us get used to it now?” Gordon continued to encourage.
Anhil held it in for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Okay, but you are not allowed to laugh."
“Okay, okay, I won’t laugh at you.”
Anhil turned around and left, going back to the room to change.
When he comes back in the Velociraptor suit.
Gordon was the first to laugh loudly, "Hahahahaha! You are really too white!"
