But after seeing who the owner of that hand was, Little Potato felt as if he had met a mortal enemy, and the scales on his tail stood up instantly.

Just like a cat whose tail was stomped on and its fur exploded.

......

While the hunters were jubilant, no one noticed that the top management of Xingchen Stronghold did not join the banquet, but gathered in a conference room, discussing something worried.

"This is the collection of unknown biological materials from ancient trees."

The commander-in-chief frowned, looking at a few round scales on the table and a thin film emitting a faint blue light.

Just a week after the induction operation of the molten mountain dragon ended, there was a huge battle in the ancient tree forest. The end result is that the entire top layer of the huge ancient tree has been chipped off, and the fallen canopy has changed the landscape of a large part of the ancient tree forest.

Because the hunters were all resting in the stronghold at that time, and only a small number of hunters who collected and supplemented the materials lacking in the stronghold were active outside, the Star Stronghold did not get much useful information.

But according to the reports of hunters who were active in the ancient forest at that time, one of the two sides in this battle was the steel dragon that stole Moogle's etheric light.

And the opponent of the steel dragon is a mysterious creature whose identity is unknown and has not been recorded, and the result of the battle seems to be a lose-lose.

The commander-in-chief's brows were furrowed by being able to draw a tie with the steel dragon occupying the top layer of the ancient tree forest, which was far more difficult than ordinary ancient dragons.

This kind of thing happened just after the molten mountain dragon battle was over, which gave him a very bad feeling.

Looking at the materials brought back by the hunter in front of him, although these things look very beautiful and have the feeling of a fairy feather coat, the more this is the case, the more goosebumps the commander-in-chief has all over his body.

After all, in the world of monsters, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.

At this time, a group of active guide insects flew out of the guide insect bottle hanging on the commander-in-chief's waist. These guide insects flew around the guide insect bottle in a circle, and then flew around the materials.

These little things unique to the New World have the ability to track the traces of monsters, and at the same time, they emit different degrees of sound and light according to the strength of the monster.

The guide insect, which originally radiated yellow light, quickly turned blue after coming into contact with those materials. At the same time, its wings vibrated at a high speed at a certain frequency, making a rapid and distinct sound.

This is the guide insect telling the companions that there are dangerous monsters here, and the hunters can also judge the strength of the monster according to the change of the guide insect.

The guide insect turned blue, which means that the trace of a powerful monster has been found, and this seems to confirm the uneasy thing of the commander-in-chief.

Among the people who attended the meeting, several dragon people researchers gathered around the table where the materials were placed, and took up the magnifying glass to observe these things carefully.

"It's really strange... It's the first time I've seen something like this..."

Seeing that the director of the prestigious Institute of Ecology said so, the commander-in-chief scratched his head in distress: "Really?"

No.199 Gulong's Alertness (plus)

"No more?" The tyrannosaurus girl walked to a table with an empty dinner plate, and sighed with regret.

The stack of charcoal-grilled venison that was originally piled high on the table is now only a little oil stain on the bottom of the plate, and the large barrel of wine next to it is completely empty.

This is already the third table that the tyrannosaurus girl saw that the food completely disappeared.

"Well, it seems that everyone has a good appetite today!"

The tyrannosaurus girl didn't look surprised at all, instead she thought it was normal.

Hunters are all food that can be eaten, and the more they can fight, the more they can eat. Don't you see that the cuckold hero next door can even eat grilled rocks?

And those who can come to work in the New World are not ordinary people, except for those dragon people researchers.

Even the front desk ladies who are engaged in task release are quite capable. They are placed in ordinary small villages. If there is an accident with the village hunter, these front desk ladies can even pick up weapons to temporarily replace the hunter's job.

The reason why they don't usually take part in hunting is because the hunters in the New World are all too good, and it doesn't matter to them.

Besides, from the perspective of saving others, a tyrannosaurus girl who can eat several people's food doesn't think there is anything wrong with the amount of food and the speed of consumption.

"Let's look elsewhere."

She muttered like this, turned around and walked towards the next table, and then the tyrannosaurus girl saw a group of hunters forming a group, and at the same time made an excited shout.

"Oh~ good drink~!"

"I didn't expect to be able to drink so much~!"

Are they drinking beer? The tyrannosaurus girl approached curiously, and then saw a mature silver-haired woman surrounded by the center of the crowd.

She wears very gorgeous clothes, and her delicate face is completely different from the rough face of people who have been in the New World. She looks like a lady in a boudoir.

But at this moment, the eldest lady is doing something completely opposite to her image————

Holding a large glass of wine, he poured it into his mouth very boldly. That's right, pour, not drink. Like a water pump, a large glass of wine quickly disappears.

"Crack!" The wooden wine glass was heavily slammed onto the table and made a dull sound. Although this is a very rude thing in normal times, it is very generous at a hunter's banquet dominated by big men. Performance.

"Come again~!"

Seeing that the wine glass was empty, a hunter took the initiative to fill it up again. The woman grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it two or three times, and then drank all the wine.

On the table in front of her, there was only the last bit of a large plate of barbecued meat left, and on the ground next to the silver-haired woman, there were two barrels of wine that had been completely emptied.

It's delicious~! It's good to drink~!

The tyrannosaurus girl's eyes suddenly lit up. Since she came to the New World, except for the little potatoes, it was the first time that she saw a person whose food intake was comparable to her own.

As a food lover, the tyrannosaurus girl was excited. Although it is said that peers are particularly jealous when they meet, obviously, it is a very happy thing for a girl to find someone who also likes to eat.

Maybe you can become a bosom friend! The tyrannosaurus girl squeezed into the crowd excitedly, intending to have a good conversation with this woman.

"Hey, do you like to eat too?"

"Huh?" Looking at the dire tyrannosaurus girl who suddenly came over, Long Ma glanced at her suspiciously. After realizing that she was just an ordinary human being, she stopped paying attention and continued to grab the barbecue and wine glass at hand to eat and drink. .

During the recovery period after the injury, she needs a lot of food to supplement her nutrition, and in the face of this free meal, Long Ma will naturally not refuse.

As for these biped beasts surrounding her, Long Ma completely ignored them. She is not the type that would mind the approach of other creatures. Although these hunters are eating the food in front of her, because these hunters continue to bring more delicious food and delicious drinks, Long Ma will acquiesce to these two Foot beasts steal their own things.

Anyway, compared to her appetite, what these hunters can eat and drink is only a little bit. Just as the top predators wouldn't mind scavengers eating the leftover minced meat from the corpse, Long Ma wouldn't care too much about the behavior of these hunters.

Although she was ignored by the dragon mother who she regarded as a possible confidant, the dire tyrannosaurus girl was not discouraged at all.

"Speaking of which, you look a lot like Little Potato. Are you two sisters?"

"?" Mother Long, who was grabbing a piece of barbecue and stuffing it into her mouth, suddenly heard the human name of her eldest son. Mother Long stopped and turned to look at the tyrannosaurus girl.

She opened her mouth slightly and said slowly, "Do you know my child?"

As an adult Gulong, Long Ma naturally doesn't know how to speak like when Little Tudou was born. She can only use body language to express her emotions more.

Of course, as a dragon, she has no interest in learning human languages, just like a little potato. Long Ma speaks the ancient dragon language, a very ancient language.

Hmm... It's not really accurate to say it's a language. In fact, it's just a random sound.

It's just that when speaking, the meaning of the sentence that he wants to express will be conveyed in some way, just like a translator. Humans who hear the ancient dragon language can't understand it, but they can understand it. mean.

Just like how dragons communicate by roaring, the frequency and fluctuation of the calls before different races are different, but they can wonderfully understand the meaning that the other party wants to express.

At present, only a small number of dragon people and the surviving ancient dragon people can speak the ancient dragon language, which is a very small language.

However, occasionally, some scholars who are interested in languages ​​will study and learn the ancient dragon language, so the tyrannosaurus girl was just a little surprised and didn't think too much.

Moreover, she was even more surprised that Long Ma said that Little Tudou was her child.

"Eh!? Are you the mother of Little Potato?" The tyrannosaurus girl opened her mouth in astonishment.

Although I felt that the woman in front of me looked a lot like Little Potato, I didn't expect that it was not a sister but a mother and daughter.

"No wonder you guys look so alike!"

Although she knew that Long Ma was the mother of Little Potato, the tyrannosaurus girl quickly calmed down.

After all, she is adhering to the strange concept of "as long as you like to eat it, there is no problem". Although Long Ma is the mother of Little Potato, and she regards Little Potato as a friend, it does not prevent her from becoming confidants with Long Ma. .

The tyrannosaurus girl started cheerfully and took the initiative to talk to the dragon mother, talking about the topic of eating and drinking.

Although Long Ma was not very willing to deal with the biped, but for the sake of the eldest son who seemed to know this human girl, she didn't bother to drive her away.

And just as the tyrannosaur girl was muttering to herself cheerfully, suddenly, Long Ma's expression froze, she seemed to sense something, and stood up abruptly and looked in a certain direction.

At the same time, the other ancient dragons in the new continent also all widened their eyes.

Last time, they felt the breath of the under-evolved Ming Lantern when it woke up, but this time, the ancient dragons noticed something even more terrifying than the Ming Lantern.

The incarnation of the No.200 concept

Little Tudou stared at the black-haired and black-clothed beautiful girl in front of him with her hands on the food she wanted. The scales on her tail all stood up at this time, and at the same time, silver-white dragon scales began to appear on her neck.

He wasn't annoyed because someone robbed him of his food. Although Little Potato was very protective of food, he didn't mind others taking a small portion of it while he had not finished eating.

The reason why he blew up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on was entirely because he sensed danger from the girl in black in front of him.

Young dragons are often unaware of the danger, and they cannot accurately judge the threat of other creatures, so they need female dragons to take care of them at any time to prevent these bear children from delivering couriers to their doorsteps.

Although he didn't perceive the crisis mentally, Little Potato's body instinctively entered a state of vigilance.

"Huh?" The girl in black looked at Little Tudou, obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked up and down with interest.

Originally, I just planned to take a break before going to work. I just happened to pass by this stronghold of human beings, but I didn't expect to see this little guy.

"It's interesting~"

It is said that after living for a long time, I have seen everything, but this "mysterious creature" in front of me, the girl in black has really never seen it.

Let's say it's an ancient dragon. It does have the smell and physical characteristics of an ancient dragon, but it is completely different from ordinary ancient dragons.

It is not a secret among ancient dragons that ancient dragons can incarnate in human form. As long as they grow to a certain level and have a certain degree of wisdom, ancient dragons will naturally master this ability that is actually not very useful.

Although the transformation is actually useless for most ancient dragons, and it is better to grow a circle around the body, but being able to master this skill means that the power is about to reach the peak of the race.

Of course, what happened to this little guy in front of him?

The black-clothed girl tilted her head blankly. Judging from the smell, this little guy is just an ancient dragon species who has just stepped into adolescence. He can't even call it an ancient dragon, but he can master the ability that only a few ancient dragons can master. .

It seems that it is clearly stipulated that only adults can get a driver's license. As a result, a baby who is just a few days old can get these things that many adults can't get. No matter how you look at it, it feels strange.

But if it's not Gulong, it's human... If this thing can be considered human, what did she encounter before? No civilized monkey?

"A steel dragon...but, it's a little different...subspecies?"

Feeling the breath of some ancient dragon emanating from Little Potato, the black-clothed girl's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured in a puzzled and confused tone.

Although the steel dragon has the ability to manipulate the storm, among the various ancient dragon species, it can be regarded as a class with outstanding intelligence and strength.

And because of different food and living environment, quite a few subspecies have been born, but even among these special subspecies, the little potato is the most bizarre one the black-clothed girl has ever seen.

She could feel that Little Potato's strength was not strong, at least not at the level of an ordinary adult ancient dragon.

But at the same time, the black-clothed girl could also vaguely sense that the little guy in front of him was accumulating some kind of enormous power.

"O-O?" Little Potato looked at the girl in black curiously.

Because he is just a little boy among the ancient dragon species, he is not as good as an adult ancient dragon in terms of experience and intelligence, but he can still feel that the black-clothed girl in front of him is not an ordinary biped.

"Sniff~" Little Tudou raised his head, leaned over to the girl in black and sniffed the smell on her body, then tilted his head in confusion.

He smelled the aroma of food, but not of being a human being.

Is this a dragon or a biped? Little Potato's expression became a little confused.

As a dragon who mainly relies on smell to distinguish creatures, he is completely unable to judge the race of the black-clothed girl in front of him through smell at this time.

Little Tudou didn't notice the aura of the girl in black. After all, she didn't like a noisy and messy environment, otherwise she wouldn't have killed all the creatures around the territory.

At the same time, she didn't want to be disturbed by other ancient dragons, so she deliberately hid herself.

Looking at the cute little guy in front of him, the girl in black subconsciously reached out and touched his head.

For such a half-sized cub, her attitude is completely different from that of other ancient dragons. After all, she is not too young and she is a female dragon, so she will always love children more.

But the little potato turned his head away with a look of disgust.

Humph~! Don't even give anything to eat, don't try to touch the potato's head~!

"Little guy, here it is~" The girl in black seemed to understand what Little Potato meant, and tentatively picked up a piece of barbecue at hand.

"Aah~"

Seeing that the food came to his mouth, Little Potato opened his mouth without hesitation. The little potato after feeding basically didn't have much resistance to small movements such as being touched on the head, at least not until he swallowed the food in his mouth.

Although the body is constantly issuing warnings, for Little Potato, eating is the first priority, and he will not care about other things until he has eaten everything.

After eating up the barbecue, Little Potato licked the grease stains on his hands, and then continued to look at the girl in black with curious eyes.

"What's your name~?"

"Me~?" When suddenly asked her name, the girl in black had a strange feeling.
