Chapter 924 From Lu Coral?
“Hey, it’s indescribable to see the fish swimming in the clear water but not have time to catch them.”
Departing from the Star Stronghold, Aziz sighed as he patrolled westward along the coast.
Others may find it difficult to sympathize with him, but Lin, known as the "lonely fish investigator", is different. He knows this feeling of itching all over his body.
But as a senior who has been in the New World for several years, he has the obligation to teach Aziz, “Don’t be anxious, Aziz, don’t be anxious, just like fishing, we have to be patient.
The fish you can see on the beach are actually nothing. They are just common swordfish, tuna and the like. You can see them everywhere.
What is really interesting are the special fish hidden in mysterious waters.
Just like last time, I saw a pink alien fish in an inconspicuous forest pond in the northeast of the Ancient Tree Forest. I have never seen such a fish before.
Just when we thought about catching it, a group of ferocious jackals rushed out, and we had no choice but to run for our lives. "
Lin became more and more angry as he spoke, "Damn it! After that time, I thought that I must take the hunters with me next time, but when the hunters in the fourth phase of the group heard that 'just to' catch fish they had never seen before, they all Express no interest!
That is a pink alien fish that I have never seen before! The existence that can refresh the fish illustration of the New World! "
“What a pity! Why don’t we go now?” Az’s eyes were shining.
Lin twisted his face and struggled for a while, but finally shook his head with difficulty, "No, it's too far. We must first complete the coastal reconnaissance mission given by the Commander-in-Chief.
next time! Let’s go together during our next vacation and try to catch that kind of fish no matter what! "
“Oh!” Aziz raised his arms and cheered in response.
"Wait a minute, look over there! Is that that?!" Lin's eyes widened, pointing to a colorful fish fin rising out of the water in the bay not far away, like an emperor's flag.
Azi looked in the direction of Lin's finger and jumped up as well.
“It’s the emperor swordfish!”
"Oooo!!"
The two men took out their fishing rods and ran madly towards the bay.
The emperor swordfish has already swam right in front of us, so why bother patrolling! It's lunch break time!
In the woodland east of the giant tree, Evelyn and Feidi discovered some strange claw marks.
Why I say "strange" is because Ms. Pope, who claims to know all the species in the ancient tree forest, said that she has never seen such claw marks.
“The claw mark is very long and narrow, but very deep. It should be left by some kind of large monster with sharp claws.” Evelin gently stroked the edge of the claw mark, “Considering this top-down angle.
It should be left behind by some kind of flying dragon or bird-dragon monster. "
Fedi also pinched his chin, "Indeed, it looks a bit like a sleeping bird, but the claw marks of a sleeping bird should be wider. Are there sleeping birds in the New World?"
Ecological investigator Popper shook his head, “So far, the only bird-like monsters found in the New World are the black wolf bird, the poisonous monster bird, and the tickling bird. There are no definite sighting records of even the widely distributed large strange bird.
If you guessed it correctly, it should be a species that has invaded from other areas. It’s hard to say what it is specifically. "
"Other areas." Evelin stood up, "Are you referring to the large anthill wasteland, or the coral platform from the opposite side of the canyon?"
“The probability of terrestrial coral platform is higher. Due to the existence of the Grand Canyon, it is difficult for the survey team to cross the canyon and enter the area where the terrestrial coral platform is located.
Only the Wilderness Masters and others would sometimes hike across the Grand Canyon to exchange information and ecological intelligence with the research base of the third phase of the regiment.
Hence, our understanding of terrestrial coral platform organisms is very limited.
As for the Great Anthill Wasteland, without bragging, I know the creatures there quite well. There shouldn’t be any creature with claw marks like this. "
As he spoke, the enthusiastic ecological investigator took some soil samples from inside the claw marks and put them into the insect guide cage. At the same time, he smiled and said to Evelin and the others:
Our task is to collect as much information as possible and report it to the Institute of Ecology, which will then analyze it and submit it to the Commander-in-Chief. "
Evelyn and Feidi nodded to express their understanding.
The speed at which guide insects extract scent from the soil will be slightly slower, but soon these magical tiny creatures will be discovered and fly somewhere.
The three of them quickly followed. Several hundred meters away from the claw marks, they found some traces of frost on a bush.
Evelin picked up some boulders and twirled them between her fingertips, then sniffed them under her nose, "It's not pure water, it may be caused by the breath of some kind of monster."
Popp's face changed slightly. She had some guesses in her mind and her expression became nervous.
But then I think about it, these two are high-level hunters. It seems that there is no need to be so nervous?
“There is a social flying dragon named Regiena (Wind Drifting Dragon) living on the Coral Platform. It may have the ability to create ice.
Using the classification standards of the Old World, the danger level of this kind of monster is about four stars. If it is an outlier, it is okay. If an entire group invades the ancient tree forest, it will be a big deal. "
Fedi suddenly raised his hand to signal his companions to be quiet. He closed his eyes and listened for a moment, "There is movement in the northeast. There may be large monsters fighting for territory."
It is also in this direction that the guide insect guides.
Evelin frowned slightly, she did not expect to encounter such an unexpected event on her first mission, "Considering the extreme situation of multiple flying dragon species appearing at the same time, let's approach secretly."
Popp nodded and put on the hood of the invisibility cloak he was wearing.
The group of three people used the unbelievably lush vegetation in the forest as cover and cautiously headed in the direction of the sound.
After walking like this for more than ten minutes, the guide insects that meandered into light paths in the air suddenly dispersed.
Pope immediately lowered his palms, made a "hiding" gesture, and lowered his voice: "It's nearby!"
Evelyn and Feidi quickly squatted down and used low plants with huge leaves to completely hide themselves.
“Boom!”
The tree crown that blocked the sky was washed away, and two entangled and struggling figures fell from the sky.
Evelin quietly raised her head and squinted at the two monsters that were grabbing and biting in mid-air.
The one with the red and black scales is too familiar—the king of the sky, the Fire Dragon.
But the fire dragons in the New World seem to be slightly different from the individuals in the Old World? It feels thicker and the wings are wider.
The other monster is also a flying dragon. It is one size smaller than the male fire dragon and is relatively slender. It opens its sharp beak like a raptor and emits bursts of sharp roars.
As it flapped its wings, a strong wind carrying frost enveloped the male fire dragon.
"Roar!"
The male fire dragon responded with an even more powerful roar and rushed forward despite the freezing air.
With its advantages in size and strength, it quickly gained an absolute upper hand in close combat.
The poisonous claws were embedded deep into the body of the unknown flying dragon. As the venom was injected, the flying dragon screamed and howled, and its counterattack became increasingly weak.
Finally, he was shot down and fell to the ground.
The male fire dragon swooped down, stepped on the opponent with its claws, and raised its head to the sky with roars declaring victory.
“Roar, ow, ow, ow, ow—!”
Looking at the purple skin that was completely different from the blue in the information, Popper said blankly: "Is this Feng Piao Long?"
Ps. The purple wind-drifting dragon comes from the unconfirmed creature illustration in the setting set. It can be understood as an individual that was witnessed by members of the third phase of the group, but no tangible evidence (corpse) was obtained.
It’s not really a subspecies, it’s just a flash at most.
