The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Thank you for providing this information, I will investigate."

"If you need my help, please feel free to tell me when the matter is resolved."

Since the experience of the last incident, Neltharion has made up his mind not to arbitrarily interfere in other people's troubles, especially the Originium Flax case that is currently making a fuss in Londinium.

In fact, the life and death crisis is not what scares Neltharion the most.Once he is fully prepared, he will never fight for his life with seven Sakaz mercenaries in a narrow terrain; what he is really worried about is the Nergigante - that uncontrollable power still remains in his body , although there had been no movement since the last time, Neltharion had to guard against it.

If it came into contact with the Origin Stone again and activated it, Neltharion didn't know whether he could resist it.

Because of Neltharion's previous shock of quickly clearing out a street, the Will-o'-the-Wisp gang's attack came to an abrupt end. They were all afraid of Neltharion's comeback.

So the Glasgow gang also got some breathing time. During this period, Neltharion used the hunter's unique code to convey the news to the Ellu cats - because of Londinium's high attention, and Neltharion Meeting is likely to expose Ellu Cat and the others; therefore, they cannot meet during this period. If you have any problems, you can seek help from the Glasgow Gang, of course - keep a low profile.

Eluma showed no resistance to this.

Scholar Meow and Craftsman Meow are studying Terra's native minerals, biological materials, plant types, etc. every day, hoping that they can grasp the truth of the world in their lifetimes.

The only person who raised an opinion was the follower Meow - he was very worried about Neltharion's mental state. Since they "died" with the Nergigante last time, they have never returned to the new world.Was he worried that Neltharion had suffered any mental damage?

As expected of a hunter's follower, his intuition is as sharp as ever; Neltharion suffered more than just mental damage - he was "parasitized" by the Nergigante.

Scholar Meow doesn't know much about Nergigante either, so Neltharion doesn't intend to put any pressure on them. The people who can really solve the problem are in the investigation team.

He can only place his hope on his next trip to the New World, hoping that his body can survive until that time.

"So, for now, just wait for the good news."

Neltharion sat on the bed, ending his first day of vacation.

"Good night, Victoria."

......

The consciousness floats, as if in water, as the body gradually rises - finally, the sleeping consciousness breaks through the ocean.

Boom!

"Ah! It hurts..."

From Neltharion's own senses - he felt like he was rolling off the bed.

He was obviously still under a soft quilt before, but he suddenly hit the hard floor when he was sleeping the most soundly, feeling like he was drifting off.

"Wait a minute...this isn't-"

"Neltharion!"

As soon as Nessario opened his eyes to make a difference, he found that the pattern and color of the floor were different from those in his room - but before he could finish speaking, a surprised voice sounded from behind him.

Neltharion turned his head and realized that the place where he fell was indeed next to the bed, but this bed did not belong to him - this was Blue Star's room.

The room, which is entirely made of wood, is very spacious. Hard rock is used as the main body of the wall and is fixed with wood. The wide space is even divided into upper and lower floors. A huge dining table is placed in the center of the room, directly opposite the dining table. This big bed - the quilts and sheets on it are very hunter-style, and some of them seem to be monster furs.

And Blue Star, who had just woken up from his sleep, was lying on the bedside looking at Neltharion in surprise.

Chapter 116 The hunter returns

Seeing her "dead" teammates come back to life as she said, Blue Star was naturally extremely happy. She was afraid that Neltharion would not survive, but would be killed by the Nergigante.

"Great, you're fine."

Blue Star is very powerful, and she dares to fight no matter how terrifying the monster is, but she really can't accept the tragedy of her teammates dying in front of her; fortunately, Neltharion is still alive.

"Although it's good that you're worried about me, but... I'd better go out first. You're in great shape!"

Neltharion climbed up from the ground, quickly pushed the door open and disappeared.

After hearing his words, Cang Lanxing realized that the time was now - midnight, and she was still sleeping just now.

He lowered his head and looked - sure enough, half of the quilt had fallen off, and his entire upper body was only wearing a piece of underwear, with the rest of his skin exposed.

However, compared to the shyness and panic of a normal girl, Blue Star is obviously more calm - hunters are very intense in their daily training, and no one wears heavy equipment at that time, so female hunters still occasionally Just dress very coolly.Speaking of which, the unicorn suit she usually wears is very cool.

"Ha ha..."

Canglanxing rubbed his hair, this was really an awkward reunion.

Turning to the outside of the door, Nessario was admiring the night view - Blue Star's room was in a good location, located in the center of the investigation team's stronghold, but it was not wrapped up. As soon as he went out, he could see the night sea.

The tides came one after another from the end of the sight, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight melted into the waves and kept smearing the beach. The golden beach during the day became extremely holy and silent at this moment.

The image he had just captured flashed through Neltharion’s mind—the well-exercised body!

Yes, the love leaked by Blue Star did not make Nessario have the urge to have the opposite sex at all; on the contrary - he was extremely curious about Blue Star's training method, and the toned body with a perfect balance of muscles and fat that he just saw, only Can you say that he is worthy of being a powerful hunter who can stop dragons? His fair skin reveals the beauty of health and strength.

"How about it? The ocean at night."

"It's very beautiful, incredibly beautiful, a miraculous work of nature."

As if to confirm Neltharion's words, several sea dragons suddenly burst out of the sea water. They splashed huge waves and then disappeared.

The neatly dressed Blue Star walked from the room to Neltharion's side, and both of them were enjoying this hard-won moment of relaxation.

"Is Nergigante dead?"

"No, we went on a search and found that neither you nor the Nergigante were anywhere to be seen."

"call..."

Neltharion knew that there would probably be another break between him and the Nergigante; and it might very well be this time!

"Blue Star, my condition is very bad; the Nergigante has not affected me."

"Is it true... The scholars are asleep now. If you are not in a hurry, please talk to me first; of course, if you are in a hurry, I will wake them up now."

Neltharion was not impatient, and Blue Star judged that he still had something to say, at least not in a hurry.

"The Nergigante's spike pierced my body, and it was not completely removed - the thing kept multiplying in my body and even pierced my body twice; another time... I almost lost consciousness , becomes the vessel for the Nergigante."

"!"

How could this be?Cang Lanxing is not a professional scholar, but she can also understand the current emergency situation.

"Scholars are making progress in their research on Nergigante... They might have a chance."

"Yeah...but I still have to ask you. If...I lose control, kill me directly. At least you won't let me completely become the puppet of the Nergigante."

Neltharion had an intuition - when his soul drifted to the new continent, the remnants of the Nergigante would also come with it. Here, both sides had an advantage.

Neltharion's physical body is immortal, but all that is lost is his spiritual power, while Nergigante returns to his homeland to fight - after a fight between the two sides, in the end, only one consciousness may return to Terra.

'I hope that kid Fischer doesn't go back to the dormitory, otherwise he will be the first to be unlucky. '

Blue Star didn't sleep anymore. She took a bottle of vitality drink from the supplies and drank it in one gulp. Then Neltharion explored the investigation team's stronghold at night - in fact, many people were still awake. After all, the investigation team is just a stronghold, not a fortress.

If a monster attacks at night and everyone is asleep, who is going to stop the monster?

Therefore, there were still many officers on duty who expressed concern when they saw Neltharion again - the hero who defeated the Nergigante. His disappearance made many hunters regretful.

"Oh! You three!"

In the dining area on the third floor of the stronghold, Neltharion ran into three Ellu cats who were feasting.

The originally liveliest area now seemed deserted, with dozens of stoves burning in only twos and threes, and only four or five El cats guarding the stoves.

This is one of the most difficult areas in the entire stronghold. After all, so many people rely on the head chef and the cooking cats to ensure their three meals a day. It's very hard for them.

"Oh! Neltharion, meow, where did you appear from?"

"I'm...at the door of Canglanxing's room. Where are you?"

"We are here, meow. Come and try it! This meat is very good!"

The three kittens enthusiastically handed the barbecue in their hands to Neltharion and Blue Star. In response, Neltharion thanked the cooking cats:

"It's already this time, it's really troublesome."

"It's okay, it's time to make supper for everyone. Being on duty at night is hard work, and all we can do is serve delicious supper."

Ah - Neltharion once again wants to stay in the Investigation Corps forever.

Look at this coveted comradeship. The hunters are fighting on the front lines and on duty at night; while the logistics department is fully supportive.

The research base continuously studies the effects of various environmental organisms and plants, striving to provide help for hunters’ safety, medication, and hunting; the craftsman’s workshop forges steel blanks thousands of times without allowing any flaws, so that each work has its own unique The role of protecting hunters; and the kitchen department will even be on duty at night to provide supper.

"Although the mission is a bit dangerous, the treatment is definitely worth it."

"Haha... Actually, the last time we defeated the Nergigante was under special circumstances. Usually our tasks are collective actions."

It's best this way, Neltharion doesn't want him and Blue Star to be paired up again in the future.

Chapter 117 There is no cure

The night is very quiet, and even if you look at the beautiful night view for a long time, you will get tired of it. Neltharion, Blue Star and the three Ellu cats passed the time with each other. During this period, Neltharion confessed to himself Something happened to him.

"When the Nergigante's spines encounter high-energy matter, they will quickly activate and divide, and even tend to evolve into biological tissues. This is the result of scholars' research. It remains in your body and is difficult to eradicate."

Although Canglanxing is not a professional scholar, she is a hunter - as a hunter, understanding the habits and ecology of monsters is the foundation of the foundation; as the latest enemy encountered, Canglanxing has never stopped understanding it. Down.

"I see, that means - I'd better not come into contact with high-energy substances in the future."

"Well, that's the case. In addition, you also need to eliminate the part of the Nergigante, otherwise your life safety will not be guaranteed."

Nessarion is uniquely blocked in this situation. This situation is probably a deed that cannot be repeated - the reproduction of the Nergigante requires extremely high energy, and the human body cannot meet this condition, but Nessarion Leo is not a pure human being, he is also a unit with high energy.

It's a pity that this energy is higher than that of humans, but lower than that of ancient dragons, so the Nergigante molecules in his body fell into a state of stunted development.

It is usually silent, but once it encounters external energy stimulation, it will definitely become active again until it completely controls Neltharion's body.

Time passed little by little, and the silvery white moonlight that originally illuminated the earth was gradually fading away. At the end of the ocean, a sunrise was slowly rising, and the early morning sunrise heralded the beginning of the next day.

The behemoth of the investigation team also slowly woke up in the morning light. The cooking class, exploration class, craftsmen, and scholars all woke up from their sleep, and then washed themselves with the water from the waterfall - put on their equipment, The first destination in the morning is of course the dining area.

"Oh! Lord Xingchen, why are you...ah! Lord Neltharion!"

"The two heroes who defeated the Nergigante are here!"

"Neltharion, it's so good to see you safe and sound."

"..."

Cang Lanxing's partner, the receptionist, greeted the two of them warmly after seeing them. Her energy seemed to be more energetic than the sun that had just risen.

It can also be seen from the pile of breakfast she piled up.

"I just woke up this morning and heard the good news. It seems like today will be a lucky day. Welcome back, Neltharion."

The Commander-in-Chief was also in the breakfast team. He expressed his gratitude to Neltharion. Defeating the Nergigante was a great achievement, but Neltharion was not too touched by this.

It just defeated the Nergigante, but it still had some remaining strength. It couldn't be called a victory at all. It could only be said that it saved a life.

But Neltharion did not hate the Commander-in-Chief. Blue Star told him that after he disappeared, the Commander-in-Chief also summoned people to search for him. From this, it can be seen that he is a commander who cares for his subordinates. .

"Commander-in-Chief, I need your help with something."

Blue Star is more concerned about Neltharion's body than her honor. Instead of waiting for the scholars to finish sorting things out, she plans to ask the Commander-in-Chief directly. This matter is imminent!

"What is it? If you two need any help, everyone in the investigation team will do their best."

"It has something to do with the Nergigante, Neltharion's body..."

Nessario originally planned to wait until the scholars were ready before going to trouble others. As for directly requesting the commander-in-chief, he absolutely did not have to do anything. The investigation team had a lot of work every day, and the commander-in-chief was not a scholar. He had a specialization in the field. Just be responsible for command and planning.

The result was beyond Neltharion's expectation - after the commander-in-chief understood the situation, he quickly issued an emergency transfer order, and the scholars were quickly gathered.

What's even more unexpected is that after hearing about Neltharion's current state, the scholars didn't complain at all, and each one was even more excited than the other.

"Hmm...I can't see any changes in appearance."

"Maybe the problem is internal?"

Several scholars were wandering around Neltharion with breakfast in their hands, and many devices were being debugged. They could only rely on their naked eyes to judge.

"According to previous research on the thorns of the Nergigante, those cells will quickly activate after being exposed to high-energy substances. If there is insufficient energy, they will quickly deactivate and die. This is slightly different from your state. It is probably because it has adapted independently."

"First, let's make some observations."

After brainstorming, the plan for Nesario's comprehensive physical examination was finalized in a short time.

Parts of his hair, nails, skin, blood, and mucous membranes were removed. I believe it won't be long before the responsible scholars discover the abnormalities.

As the observation ended, the scholar broke out in a cold sweat and asked Nessario in disbelief:
