Li Fan thought for a moment and quickly recalled the relevant information about the dragon-eating insect.
This is an insect that likes to feed on dragon-killing fruits.
In places where dragon-killing fruit can be grown, there are usually ancient dragons, so dragon-eating insects are rarely seen.
The guild's evaluation of the dragon-eating bug is relatively negative.
The reason is not that this insect is dangerous, but that it likes to eat dragon-killing fruit, which is the main ingredient for blending dragon-killing bombs.
Dragon-killing bullets are attribute ammunition aimed at ancient dragons and require a high reserve.
The difficulty and danger of finding dragon-killing fruit in the wild makes its acquisition methods very limited.
If you eat more dragon-eating insects when you have nothing to do, it will be harder to obtain the dragon-killing fruit, which is a particular headache for the guild.
However, according to a recent ecological report, it is believed that after the dragon-eating insect has eaten enough dragon-killing fruits and its abdominal sac is filled with dragon-type energy, it encounters the prison wolf dragon and will produce an activation effect similar to that between the thunder bug and the thunder wolf dragon.
, turned into a super flash dragon insect.
In addition, there is also a certain connection between the spread of seeds of dragon-eating insects and dragon-killing fruits.
"These dragon-eating insects are here for the dragon-attributed energy on the hull."
Li Fan judged.
"It was on the ancient dragon. It was completely destroyed before it even got close."
Dilu suddenly said.
"The Hexing Stone originally could not attract dragon-eating insects, but after being absorbed and transformed by the ship's hull, it overflowed with energy similar to dragon attributes. This energy level may not be considered a big deal for a huge monster, but
It’s just right for dragon-eating insects.”
"If this is established, can it be considered a new ecological discovery?"
Dilu asked excitedly.
"It doesn't count."
"Ah? Why meow?"
"To put it bluntly, it's because the volcano is a long way away. By the time we return to the headquarters to give a report, the reports of other returning exploration ships will have already been submitted."
Li Fan gave an explanation.
It is indeed difficult to see the Dragon Eater Worm, but judging from the attractiveness in front of you.
As long as other exploration ships explore the Hexing stone veins and recover them, there will definitely be similar ecological discoveries.
"That's it, meow"
Dilu said a little disappointed.
"We can do research on the cultivation of dragon-eating insects and dragon-killing fruits. If it is proven that the spread of dragon-killing fruit seeds is related to dragon-eating insects, we can plant a few acres of them in front of the investigation agency and only sell high value-added products, dragon-killing fruits.
, when the planting technology matures, we can make another wave of profits by selling technology licenses.”
Li Fanchang said.
"Oh! Then these dragon-eating insects are not very valuable, meow!"
Dilu said in surprise.
"Yes, but we still have to find water sources and mud to create a layer of isolation for the Hexing stone veins, otherwise the loss from such uncontrolled absorption will be too serious."
There are already few Hexing Stones, and they may be used in the subsequent cultivation of dragon-eating insects. Li Fan feels that saving is still necessary.
After looking at the map, the Flame began to head towards the recently marked water source point.
After traveling for less than ten minutes, Naughty, who was guarding the high altitude, suddenly lowered his height and roared to remind him.
"Is there a situation on the ground?"
Li Fan came to the bulwark and looked down.
A Thunder Wolf Dragon appeared that was running fast, but its movements were not very coordinated.
The reason why the other party was able to keep up with the speed of the Yanhuo was mainly due to its strong ability to climb mountains and the fact that the Yanhuo was in exploration mode, which was much slower than normal flight.
Li Fan raised the telescope and observed more carefully.
"One of the sharp corners of the head is broken, the electrified hair on the chest is almost bald, the right paw is lame, and the color of the electric storage shell on the back is different from the surrounding carapace. It should be new, but there are also a few missing electric storage shells.
The color of the shell is dull, it seems that it is necrotic and its condition is too bad."
Li Fan took a look at the state of Thunder Wolf Dragon and decided that there was no threat at all, so he put down the telescope.
"The King Sword Raikiri is a fairly balanced lightning attribute sword. It mainly stimulates the ability to release power. Although the effect has not been experienced yet, it may be used in the future."
Li Fan started making calculations in his mind. He felt that the biggest disadvantage at the moment was that the guild might also feel that this completely damaged Thunder Wolf Dragon would not be able to make any waves in the volcanic area.
It was only mentioned in the regional briefing and no hunting contract was issued.
"Wait a minute, why is the other party chasing the airship?"
Li Fan pondered for a long time and suddenly noticed something he couldn't understand.
At this time, a dragon-eating insect on the surface of the ship's hull was squeezed out by the subsequent influx of similar creatures.
After circling twice, I found that I couldn't squeeze in, so I had to land on the top of the bulwark and absorb the remaining dragon energy from the outside.
Li Fan stared at the dragon-eating insect for a moment, then looked at the pursuing Thunder Wolf Dragon below, and an idea came to him.
"Is this Thunder Wolf Dragon trying to mutate into a Prison Wolf Dragon?"
It is rare for a monster to proactively seek mutation in a planned manner, let alone in the direction of a subspecies.
If you look at it this way, you can find the reason why the other party came to the volcano.
The most ancient dragons appear here, and with the growth environment of dragon-killing fruit, dragon-eating insects will naturally appear.
But even if the methods of attracting and driving flying insects are similar, there are differences between the two after all, because the energy attributes used are different.
Since the threat of this thunder wolf dragon was really limited, Li Fan did not rush into action, but chose to wait and see for a while.
After all, I don’t have any clue yet.
He had the idea of capturing the Prison Wolf Dragon so that he could start training to withstand the pressure of the ancient dragon.
But regardless of the guild or Longliyuan, the latest sighting report was half a year ago.
In addition, the Prison Wolf Dragon likes to live in extreme environments, so it is even more difficult to find traces.
This Thunder Wolf Dragon can actively seek mutation, which shows that its instinct or past experience has led it to believe that there is a possibility.
This is a good start.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ten minutes later, they were about to reach the designated water source point. Perhaps due to the lack of physical strength after chasing for too long, when Thunder Wolf Dragon flew over the cliff, one of its severely worn front paws failed to grasp it, and it fell backwards into the cliff.
"It just so happens that you take a break first."
Li Fan recorded the location where he fell off the cliff and decided to check the situation when he returned.
Not long after, a strange landform appeared.
On the left and right sides of the shoal, river water and lava flow respectively.
The team rappelled down to the river, and the small animals drinking water fled in all directions.
Shasha tested the soil quality and confirmed that it could be mixed with mud, so she dug her head into the ground and dug a diversion channel from the river.
Then dig a deep pit and roll and crush it with the carapace on its back.
"I heard that volcanic water has a high mineral content. How about collecting some in a wooden bucket?"
Eudora asked.
"It's better to finish collecting the silt quickly and go take a look."
As Li Fan was talking, he suddenly saw a thunder wolf dragon breathing heavily appearing on the rock platform not far away.
The opponent didn't seem to care about the team, but raised his head towards the low-flying Flame Horn and kept howling.
Oooh~ooh~ooh~
The restless dragon-eating insects on the hull quickly turned quiet.
Oooh~ooh~ooh~
The battery shell on the back of Thunder Wolf Dragon is opened.
After a brief silence, the dragon-eating bugs became restless again and continued to frantically seize positions to absorb dragon energy.
Ouch~
"Stop wailing. Don't you see that your wailing calls have no attraction to the dragon-eating insects at all?"
Li Fan interrupted.
When the Thunder Wolf Dragon heard the human voice, it first bent down warily and looked left and right on the rock platform for a moment before seeing the hunter team by the river.
Thunder Wolf Dragon narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that the two hunters looked familiar, especially the female hunter carrying a big sword on her back.
However, the aura emanating from the opponent's armor made it reluctant to get closer and explore.
"Oh! It's you!"
Eudora recognized the other party first.
"You are the escaped King's Tooth Sword!"
"That's too much, Eudora, that's the name of the equipment."
Li Fan reminded.
"That's it. If the King's Fang Great Sword doesn't escape in Kara Village, I can. Well, with so many people participating, the materials allocated are not enough to make a great sword. Then I'll call you the Thunder Wolf Gauntlet.
"
Eudora changed her name.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon's front paws scratched the ground, its eyes showed a fierce look, but after hesitating for a moment, it still made no attack move.
Apparently he believed that in his current state, he might not be a match for the two hunters.
"Wait for me first, don't rush to take action."
Li Fan finished speaking softly and walked towards the rock platform where the Thunder Wolf Dragon was.
Unlock the insect cage and release the light bulb.
Thunder Wolf Dragon's vigilance gradually faded.
As the Silver Crown Ball was thrown, the Dragon Eclipse appeared from the ball, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon stood up straight in surprise.
"Longlong! Come back! Don't go to the airship!"
Amid Li Fan's shouts, the dragon-eating insect dragon hovered briefly and continued to fly upward.
"If you don't obey me again, I'll rip off your wings!"
Longlong fell rapidly and flew back to the shallows.
"This is the lightning insect, and this is the dragon-eating insect. Which one do you want to symbiosis with?"
As Li Fan spoke, he made gestures with his hands.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon turned toward the dragon-eating insect and howled twice.
"Light bulb, Longlong, go and activate it."
Li Fan gave guidance.
"Ah? Since we are going, why do we have to ask?"
Eudora was puzzled.
"I want to test whether the other party can understand what I said. If they can, then we can have in-depth communication."
"Uh, you just wanted to say you were cheating, right?"
Eudora asked tentatively.
Two flying insects were approaching, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon raised its neck high, waiting for landing.
However, the two flying insects kept circling and were unwilling to land at all. Finally, the flying insects accelerated and hit the light bulb before knocking it into the battery shell on its back.
The sparse electrically charged hairs on his chest stood up, and a few blue currents flashed through.
However, when the electric light flowed to the back, it did not cause excitation, turning the light bulb into a super-electric lightning bug.
Sure enough, after the ability to stimulate the ultra-electric lightning bugs disappeared, the lightning bugs could no longer be attracted.
However, the battery shell seems to be in good condition. Could it be that the internal organs have been damaged?
After the light bulb escaped, Longlong also tested the activation effect and was stunned.
Li Fan helplessly held his forehead and remembered a social quote.
The circles are different, so there is no need to forcefully integrate them.
Seeing that Nibahe was finished and Eudora was loading, Li Fan said helplessly: "Okay, our communication ends here."
Of course he wanted to achieve the mutation, but if the problem was based on the experience he learned from Kuku, in order for the Thunder Wolf Dragon to correctly activate the mutation, at least a dragon-attribute gem would be needed.
Seeing the team leaving, Thunder Wolf Dragon did not rush to say anything, but turned around and ran quickly.
Just as the two large barrels filled with silt were being hoisted, the Thunder Wolf Dragon with a huge bone rod in its mouth turned back and appeared on the rock platform again.
Click! Click!
The Thunder Wolf Dragon easily chewed the weathered bone rod into pieces and kept chewing it in its mouth.
"Is that an ancient dragon bone?"
Li Fan on the shoal said uncertainly.
"I see, you're right, meow, it's the ancient dragon bone!"
Di Lu raised the telescope and looked at it, and quickly concluded.
"What is it trying to prove?"
cough cough cough
As if the bone powder was stuck in his throat, Thunder Wolf Dragon coughed a few times and continued to swallow.
"Thunder Wolf Dragon is a carnivorous monster, and it usually eats some bones when eating. But this kind of bones, which have been weathered for many years in the bone mound, obviously cannot be used as food. Could it be said that this is the substance that causes mutation?
"
Li Fan thought of a possibility, but he couldn't be sure.
"Can't we capture the Thunder Wolf Gauntlet first?"
Eudora asked.
"It can establish communication with me mainly because it values the lightning bugs and dragon-eating bugs. There is a big difference between this and letting them surrender and be captured willingly."
Li Fan explained.
"What about a beating?"
Eudora asked.
"It seems like something came out of the lava, nya."
Dilu looked at the rising magma and said.
In the lava pool on the other side of the shallow river bank, a raised hill appeared.
After a while, as the magma spilled, pieces of carapace shaped like white rock were exposed.
Boom! Boom!
The dull sound of footsteps sounded from the magma pool with orange bubbles.
A head completely wrapped in white rock poked out of the magma.
"It's Kailong Miao!"
"It's really unlucky to show up at this time."
Ouch~ow~ow
Halfway through Li Fan's words, the thunder wolf dragon howled again.
"Brother, are you afraid that Kailong can't see you?"
Li Fan was also speechless.
The armored dragon stepped onto the shoal from the magma and was shaking off the magma remaining on the surface of the carapace by swinging its body.
Hearing the roar of a monster, Kailong bent his neck and looked at the Thunder Wolf Dragon on the rock platform.
Ouch!
Ring-shaped sound waves spread in Kailong's mouth, and a loud roar came out.
The little fool in the sky was naughty and quickly flew down after hearing the roar.
After the team took off, the howling of the Thunder Wolf Dragon still did not stop.
Li Fan knew that this was not actually a provocation to Kailong.
Thunder Wolf Dragon has a separate roar, which is used to threaten enemies.
This kind of howl usually releases a guidance signal to the lightning bugs when it is charging, causing them to converge towards its back.
"Stop howling, your life will be lost if you scream any more, little fool, give it a fireball."
Just when Li Fan was about to take action to remind him.
A red and black electric light suddenly flashed out from the blue current gathered on the electrified fur of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.
Li Fan thought he had made a mistake and quickly rubbed his eyes.
Although the result was very weak, more red and black electric lights appeared.
It’s really possible! But what’s the principle?
The battery shell is made of horny material, which is similar in composition to bone.
The ancient dragon bones do contain weak dragon-attribute energy, and because it is not that difficult to obtain, they are still the main material for making Broken Dragon Balls.
At present, the amount and duration of the opponent's food intake are not clear, but if you feed the ancient dragon bone with stronger and purer dragon attribute energy,
