Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1256. Breaking news!

It was already very hot in the ruins of this transit base.

But Lan looked down.

He had blown up the gate of the arena, and the gap left behind was still emitting waves of heat.

This means that the heat inside is significantly higher than that outside!

Lan En glanced at Winder, who happened to be looking over at him as well.

The two men nodded to each other, pulled out a bottle of "cold drink" from their belts, and drank it.

Fluffball and Garfield share a bottle together, because they are much smaller than humans, so they need much less when drinking potions.

This drink, which is made by directly crushing and grinding the [frozen mushrooms] from the New World and then undergoing simple processing, highlights the magic of the New World creatures.

After taking it in your mouth, it's not a 'cooling feeling' at all, but a direct 'numbing feeling'!
If Lan En ate the mushrooms directly without any processing, he wondered if his mouth and esophagus would be frostbitten.

After drinking the snow-white [cold drink], a cool feeling gently spreads from the stomach and intestines, and then spreads throughout the body, fighting against the heat from the outside.

No matter it was Lan, Winder, Flannel Ball or Garfield, they all made refreshing sounds as if they had just drank a mouthful of ice-cold drink after drinking.

"Ha~"*4
After drinking the [cold drink], the environment here is finally not so uncomfortable that it is unbearable.

And the shelf life of [cold drinks] is several hours.

"The herbs and plants in the New World are amazing." After drinking, Lan En threw the empty bottle aside and said, "I actually wanted to transplant some last time to see if I could keep them alive back home."

"This is a very troublesome matter. As you know, biological invasion is a big problem."

Winder wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and spoke.

"If you really want to try transplantation, you need to find a good scholar to take care of it. There will be a lot of follow-up experiments and observations."

Although Winder was cautious about the topic, he did not resist much.

Although ecological invasion is a very serious problem, at the same time, the exchange of crops, medicinal materials, spices, etc. between different regions has been a common practice since ancient times.

It is always easier and safer to control plants than to control active animals.

Besides, Lan En was not too sure whether these species could survive without the exaggeratedly prosperous ecological power of the New World.

He squatted down, and the knee pads and the back of his hands in this brand new armor touched the ground with a slight collision sound.

Lan En lay on the ground and began to crawl into the arena through the gap he had reserved.

He bent down and said to Winder behind him without turning his head: "Of course I know it's troublesome, otherwise why do you think I brought Tishaya here?"

In the magical Middle Ages, the only people who valued and understood the concept of ecosystem were probably druids.

But firstly, there are too many environmentally mad people in their group, and secondly, Lan En doesn't actually know any druids.

I heard that the royal family of Cintra once employed a druid from the Skellige Islands, Mossak.

But Lan had only met him once before, and that was not in Cintra, but near the Brokilon Forest. After Cintra was captured, he never saw him again.

Excluding the druid group, the only one who truly has this knowledge and has strong biological knowledge is Tishaya.

The crystal cultivation project she pioneered already reflects her research level in the field of biology.

But talking to Winder about this now is just a casual chat before starting the hunt.

With the help of [Cold Drink], Lan En endured the heat wave and crawled through the crevice in the rock.

The ball of fuzz followed closely behind him.

Next is the combination of Winder and Garfield.

After the two men and two cats crawled out of the crevice in the rock, they all held their breath and concentrated.

They were now standing on the outer high ground, and the temperature here was like a big stewing furnace.

The high temperature made the air sway and become hazy like water waves.

The glowing red scales looked like unburned ashes floating in the air.

There were black scorch marks everywhere from the gunpowder explosion, and the smell of gunpowder.

These are the 'baits' provided by the investigation team in recent days in order to stabilize the Flame King Dragon.

There is no doubt that the gunpowder produced by so many investigation teams is a natural ore such as combustible rock in nature, and its purity is far from that of the real thing.

"It really has enjoyed itself for so many days."

Lan En lowered his voice as he stepped on the hot rocks with his boots as he came to the edge of the platform and looked into the depression in the middle.

Winder and the two Elu cats followed him closely.

In the central depression of the arena, the Flame King Dragon looked like a lazy big cat.

The wings are folded on its back, and its lushly maned head rests on its two crossed front paws.

It hadn't spotted the incoming hunter yet.

This is normal. After all, the life with abundant gunpowder these days really makes it feel comfortable.

The strong smell of gunpowder was enough to cover up any other smell at this time.

Although Lan En and Winder were both wearing equipment made from [Mist Nest Master] materials.

However, the armor on Lann was not used much, and the dragon scales and dragon skin of Smaug, which were the main materials, had completely lost their activity.

Apart from the evil influence on the user, there was no exaggerated aura left. As soon as Winder got started, he was able to fully control his [Mist Nest Master Set], and it was not difficult for him to suppress the violent and crazy aura that came with the equipment.

Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to ride the pterosaur on the way to the Great Anthill Wasteland.

The Flame King Dragon's tail swept leisurely across the ground.

The tail would leave a charred mark whenever it simply passed over the ground.

Even in the middle of the burnt areas, there are shiny spots.

That's the brightness of rock when it's heated to a nearly molten state.

"Split up." Lan En observed the Flame King Dragon for more than ten seconds, confirmed that it did not notice anyone coming in, and turned to Winder and said, "Check if there is anything broken in the equipment in the arena."

"We can take the initiative with a surprise attack."

Winder looked strange and lowered his voice as well: "Are you sure this situation can be good?"

He pointed at the arena, which had become like a crater.

"But the craftsmen in the processing house and the transport team of the material team can't really just bring it gunpowder, right?"

Lan En spread his hands and pointed toward the air above the arena.

Originally, that location was a rock trap with many rocks wrapped in a net bag.

But on the day when the Fire Dragon came, after Lan En led it to the arena, the net bag could not withstand its high temperature, and it spontaneously combusted and then rocks fell down.

But now, the original location is not empty, but an iron cage filled with many huge stones.

Winder raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

The two men gestured to each other and then separated to grope in both directions.

The fluffy ball and Garfield, like two catworms, lay on the ground, twisting and turning, and moving carefully to follow.

After searching around, Winder gestured to Lan from a distance and said that he found that the installed [Dragon-Slaying Spear] could also be used, but the others were gone.

In the place where Yan Wanglong stayed for several days, there were still two mechanical equipments in use. This was a testament to the solid craftsmanship and genuine materials used by the craftsmen in the processing room.

After deciding to launch a surprise attack first, Lann gestured with his fingers to count down towards Winder, who was holding the trigger rod of the Dragon Slaying Spear in the distance.

Once the countdown is complete, the battle will begin promptly.

Lan En's raised fingers fell one by one, and the flannel ball beside his legs also purred softly, bent its body seriously, and entered a fighting state.

At this time, the Flame King Dragon was still lying lazily on the ground.

It seems that the hunters have already taken the initiative in this battle.

But, just when Lan En had two fingers left to fall.

"."

Invisibly, right above this cylindrical semi-enclosed mountain, there is the only gap.

At that sudden moment, a strange but strong feeling poured down from everyone's head like a basin of cold water.

Brutal, ferocious. Destroy all thoughts and ferocity!
The pupils in the demon hunter's eyes suddenly shrank. Beside his legs, the three-color fur of the flannel ball suddenly exploded, and the whole cat seemed to have expanded!
On the other side in the distance, Garfield’s situation was similar to that of the fluff ball.

Winder, who was about to pull down the trigger rod of the [Dragon-Slaying Spear], suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

A black dot suddenly broke into the sky, which was circled by the cylindrical mountain.

At first, the black dot appeared to be just a tiny speck against the blue background of the sky.

But soon, this black spot expanded rapidly!
It's falling! It's throwing itself down!

The Flame King Dragon was originally lying lazily in the middle of the sunken terrain of the arena.

Almost in sync with the fluff ball and Garfield, its fiery red mane suddenly swelled up!
The sudden pressure from the opponent made it instinctively explode!
The only thing that can make a genuine ancient dragon's fur stand on end the moment it senses the aura is another ancient dragon-level creature!

"Ow!!!"

A familiar roar that made Lan En feel.

Immediately after that momentum came down, there was an explosion!

Almost at the same time, the Flame Dragon's originally stretched and relaxed muscles suddenly tensed up!
It was like a frightened big cat.

From his original prone position, he suddenly jumped sideways by tensing his muscles.

That is, after the Flame Dragon jumped sideways, one of its four claws did not even touch the ground, and it stopped completely.

"Bang!!!"

The way of appearance looks familiar to Lan and Wind, and the same destructive power!

The black shadow fell directly from the sky without slowing down!

The solid ground was directly shattered, and the shaken gravel and floating debris formed a large cloud of earth-yellow smoke and dust.

The ball of fluff lying on the ground was shaken so much that the whole cat flew into the air!
The ground was shaking, and some broken rocks from the upper layer of the cylindrical mountain were falling down due to the shaking.

He used his own body as a ramming weapon, showing no mercy to the only old acquaintance!

—Nerukigat!

[Extinct Dragon]!
