Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1264 1236. Flame Spot
“But you haven’t gained nothing.”

Lan En kicked the horn of the Flame Queen Dragon Crown lying on the ground with his toes.

"You lost a pair of ice-attribute double swords. Are these materials enough for you to make another pair of fire-attribute double swords? They should be of ancient dragon grade."

"It's not that easy." Winder shook his head and let Garfield, who was climbing up and down on him, take off his helmet.

"Ancient dragon-level weapons must be like your greatsword. In addition to the regular body materials of the ancient dragon, there must be at least one corresponding ancient dragon gem to be considered ancient dragon-level."

"Otherwise, my pair of [Ice Chain Swords] still contain the blood of the ancient dragon."

With the departure of the two Yangyan Dragons, the temperature of the entire second arena dropped slowly, but at least it would not continue to rise.

The hunters and Felynx can totally handle the [Cold Drinks].

So, except for Winder who had an injured hand, Garfield, Flannel Ball and Lan all wandered around the arena for a while.

They collected some manes and scale powder dropped by the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon during the battle.

Not only do these two Yangyan Dragons look like big cats with wings, they even fight in a similar way.

If you hit it a little harder, the ground will be covered with hair.

There is definitely no chance that these bristles can be made into equipment because the quantity is too small and the quality is not good.

However, it can be handed over to the Institute of Ecology as research material for archiving.

Although Nergigante had half of its claw eaten by Flame Dragon here, after it became so strong that the thorns on its body turned black and steel, these thorns seemed to be more difficult to fall off.

So all that was left at the scene was a small pool of ancient dragon's blood that flowed when half of its claw was torn off.

Garfield was lying beside the pool of ancient dragon's blood, digging the bloody soil while seeming to teach the fluff ball how to deal with the hunting scene more efficiently.

The two kittens meowed at each other.

Lan En walked in front of a blue-purple flame that was still not extinguished.

This is the place where the Flame Dragon pressed its claws before leaving.

A mere accidental touch could have caused the flame to burn for so long on a rock that contained no combustible matter, and left the ground at the center of the flame with shiny, softened marks.

The smoldering and sticky nature of the Flame Queen Dragon's flame is indeed terrifyingly lethal.

I'm afraid that just passing by could create a horrible, long-lasting burning zone on the earth.

Of course, within the Yangyan Dragon population, this trait is completely harmless.

The high temperature alone may not be as effective as a slap on the face.

I don't know why the Flame King Dragon is so afraid of the Flame Queen Dragon.

Maybe this is what a couple is like.

Lan En was still sighing with his thoughts wandering.

But in his hand, he was holding the heavy [Muddy Flow·Destruction] by the hilt, and the broad blade and the tip of the sword stabbed into the middle of the blue-purple flames, on the softened ground, with a "hiss".

The huge weapon, more than three meters long, was inserted diagonally into the flames, and the outer handle was still in Lan En's hand.

The leather on the hilt and the inside of the gauntlet in his hand made a creaking sound, which made one's teeth ache.

Finally, the thick hilt broke apart as if it had been crushed, and deep within those cracks, a deep glow of fire began to emanate.

Like flowing lava.

[Combat Skill: Afterfire]!
[Remnant Fire] is the tiny residue left behind by the successive Fire Kings who inherited the original fire of the Flame World.

However, the cracks did not spread to the entire sword body like when he dealt with [The Deep Saint] Aldridge before, but were limited to the hilt, near Lan's palm.

Even if it is just residue, [Remnant Fire] has the instinctive ability to burn everything and maintain itself.

The blue-purple flames left by the Flame Dragons seemed to be sucked away, spiraling around the broad blade of [Turbid Flow·Destruction] and becoming smaller and smaller.

Lan En drew out his sword only after the last trace of blue-purple flame disappeared.

The palm wearing the dragon scale leather glove stroked the dark sword, making a pleasant and soothing sound of leather and steel friction.

Use [Combat Skill·Residual Fire] to absorb a little of the flames that are no longer under the control of the Flame Queen Dragon, and store them in [Turbid Flow·Extinction].

Although the storage time will not be very long, because the [remaining fire] will definitely burn out the flame in the end.

However, this period of "storage time" was enough for Lan En to observe and understand this flame, and eventually apply it to the [Spell Fire].

The properties of the Flame King Dragon's flames are mainly high temperature and explosive combustion, which means little to Lan En.

After all, when it comes to physical impact force, the dragon fire that has been absorbed from Smaug is even stronger.

However, the smoldering and highly sticky flame of the Flame Queen Dragon was much new to him.

Arriving at several areas of blue-purple flames, Lan En used [Turbid Flow·Extinction] as usual to preserve these fires as samples for his own research.

By the time the fire left by the Flame Dragon was cleaned up, the cats had basically completed collecting materials.

Garfield and Fluffy Ball, the two Felynx, carried the broken crown horn of the Flame Dragon one after the other and waved to the hunters, indicating that they could evacuate.

Winder's hands recovered quickly with the help of the [Great Healing Medicine]. Although the flesh and skin inside the gauntlet were probably still stuck to the gloves due to the burns, they could already open and close slightly.

He finally no longer had to hold the [Ice Chain Sword] that had been melted into two iron bars.

After walking out of the transit base, the two hunters and two Felynx looked back.

The cylindrical mountain was no longer like before, like a volcano about to erupt, emitting overheated and fuzzy air and sparks. It was generally calmer.
-
"Did your hands get burned in there?" Apple said as he sorted out the supplies for Winder, looking a little serious but not nervous. "Then you'll have a hard time for the next two days."

It can be seen that this kind of injury is not a big deal for the New World Investigation Team.

"It'll only take two days." Winder shrugged. "It will heal quickly."

In fact, if the burn had not occurred inside the nail, after drinking the [Great Healing Medicine], Winder might have been able to move normally on the same day in the burned area.

The flames of the Flame Queen Dragon are particularly unfriendly to injury recovery.

"Then just rest here until you can move around freely. It'll only be two days."

Inside the camp, the dragon scholar in charge clapped his hands and spoke.

"It's okay to recuperate." Ai Bo held the strap across his chest with his hand and frowned slightly, "But you don't have much space here, so let's go a little further and find another camp."

"No, no, we are leaving too." The Dragon Scholar continued to clap his hands, which was obviously a gesture to greet the people in the camp.

He smiled a little excitedly.

"We still have to hurry to the ruins to assess the damage so that we can quickly rebuild the transit base. There are also traces of the three ancient dragons fighting each other in the second arena! I'm getting excited!"

Not only him, but all the original members of the transit base who were hiding in this small camp were now eager to start working.

If someone can travel across the ocean to the New World and stay there for decades, he would not be able to stay there unless he really loves this nature.

So Ai Bo wasn't very surprised. He just helped them move their things while chatting and laughing, and watched them return to the fire ruins in the valley.

Lan En and the others rested in the camp until the next day, and Winder was able to pull his hand out of the gauntlet that day.

So they set out today to return to the Star Stronghold on the edge of the Ancient Tree Forest.

When Lan En patted Qilin's carefree face, which was chewing a large anthill cactus in his mouth, he was still feeling relieved.

Fortunately, I managed to keep it away from me yesterday.

Otherwise, if there was already a fight between three ancient dragons, who knows what would happen if a Qilin appeared?

Regardless of whether Nergigante leaves or not, Flame King Dragon and Flame Queen Dragon will definitely not separate.

By then, the hill where the transit base is located will probably be burned into a lava lake and crater.

Lan En did have the idea of ​​using a variant of the [Axis Seal] to see if he could talk to the ancient dragons.

But this is just an unrealistic idea.

The reason why he was able to get along with Qilin was because of the fighting madman Golden Lion, who made both of them angry, so they had their first cooperation.

Later, after establishing a foundation of cooperation and trust, Qilin himself wanted to gain growth experience from Lan En, so he took the initiative to come to him, and they became friends.

And now, Lan En is asked to talk to other ancient dragons.
Although ancient dragons have wisdom that exceeds the average human, they do not take any creature other than themselves seriously.

Secondly, with the exception of Qilin, a young ancient dragon who was less than ten years old, the adult ancient dragons that have lived in nature for a long time have a thinking that deviates too much from that of humans.

Humans have tried so hard but still can’t convince each other, let alone ancient dragons?
When the meaning of "you need to leave" reached the other party's mind, in Gu Long's mind, he was already the one who was provoked by the territory.

What else is there to say except going to war?

So Lan En didn't even bother to put in the effort. He could just fight if he wanted to.

With the help of the Pterosaur and Qilin, they quickly returned to the Star Base and personally reported the mission results to the commander-in-chief.

At this point, the troubles at the transit base have been successfully resolved.

"Not only is the Flame King Dragon involved, but there are also the Flame Queen Dragon and the Nergigante in estrus."

The commander-in-chief stroked the white beard on his black face with two fingers, thinking deeply.

At the same time, he glanced behind him and saw the swordsmanship master sitting on the stool, who was obviously very upset after hearing the news about the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Queen Dragon.

But in the end I had no choice but to endure it.

The Star Base must always have a hunter who can deal with ancient dragons, so as to have basic security guarantees in this new continent.

So if Lan En didn't come for this mission, Winder would have to go alone, and the swordsmanship master would stay in Xingchen.

This is because the swordsmanship master is already quite old. Although the most important skills and experience are still there, staying at the base without consuming physical energy is the action that can best ensure his combat effectiveness and the safety of the stronghold.

It’s just that his hunting spirit as a hunter is a bit unfair.

However, Lan En did not feel sad about the swordsmanship master.

After all, when Winder rests, the swordsmanship master can move freely.

Judging from his appearance, he should be very obsessed with investigating and hunting ancient dragons like Yangyan Dragon. There will always be opportunities in the future.

But on the other hand
"There are still some questions, I think I should explain them."

At the bow of the ship, which served as the command post, Lan spoke seriously to the commander-in-chief.

"Do you remember those blue dots I mentioned when I left last time?"

"I have an impression." The commander-in-chief frowned seriously, "You said that those light spots that are invisible normally seem to be guiding something. What's wrong? Did you see them again?"

"Not only did I see them." Lan raised his eyes, "They've become more numerous."
