Xixi probably wanted to join the team first, then find out the movement, and then inform Tian Huilong.
This is a spy!
Li Fan was a little speechless. This was really the first time he had foreseen a monster with mole tendencies.
When Jiang Xixi was released, his unruly expression seemed to say that I am a mighty electric dragon, and I am willing to be your little brother.
But if you are not convinced, there is no hostility at all.
Li Fan walked around and watched.
The electric dragon's back is full of hard thorns that stand up backwards, plus the electric arcs that jump on its surface when charging, making it impossible to ride.
He can't cooperate with the aerial team, and it's difficult for [Solitary] to integrate into the team. Now that he's very proficient in the tactic of cutting and running, it's better to let Xixi fight alone in the future.
Li Fan quickly positioned Xixi in the observation room.
After conducting a more detailed ecological survey at the bottom of the Tower of Babel, the team began to return at low altitude.
The little fool Naughty Xixi has the ability to return to the Tower of Babel, but it is a bit difficult to accurately express the location.
So Dilu observed and recorded the ground conditions and drew a route map.
Li Fan studied how to pass hunting certification.
It would be okay if it were a trade union investigator who came to certify it, but it would be a bit troublesome if a researcher from Longli Institute came to certify it.
After all, Xixi's condition didn't look like she had been hunted.
At night, the stars twinkle.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Hearing the airship's bell ringing in the distance, the crew of the Pioneer immediately started to look out and prepare for the airship's docking.
When they saw clearly the monster hanging on the cable below the Flame, the crew members exclaimed.
"It's an electric dragon!"
"The attacking team successfully hunted!"
"Where is the band? Call the band quickly!"
As the news was heard, more and more people ran out of the cabin to watch, and the first deck of the Pioneer was filled with joy.
Bang! Bang!
Colorful fireworks exploded, lighting up the night sky.
Beep beep! beep beep! beep beep! beep!
The music played, and the familiar hero's testimony came.
I said, can you keep a low profile?
Li Fan on board the Flame was helpless when he saw this.
With colorful ribbons flying, two people and a cat crossed the pontoon.
Nearly a hundred people gathered to watch and welcomed him with warm applause.
"It's really admirable to be able to hunt electric dragons in such an unstable environment!"
Dewen, who took the lead in welcoming them, smiled and looked very excited.
"Mainly because of luck, the electric dragon had a conflict with a pair of fire dragons before there was a small team to fight. The two sides fought for a long time."
Li Fan explained.
"That's quite remarkable. Thanks to your outstanding contributions, the Pioneer can continue to explore."
"The team is in a hurry and want to rush back to Bernard Village as soon as possible. Is it convenient to do the contract certification now?"
Li Fan said, handing out the contract scroll.
"No problem, we guarantee that the certification will be completed as quickly as possible."
After finishing his writing, he put the heavy book in his hand into his shoulder bag, then tightened the shoulder bag strap and rolled up his sleeves.
"Place the cargo lifting platform on deck one!"
Dewen shouted and played upwards, and the wooden platform dragged by the cable was continuously released downwards.
"This is?"
"Although I am not a member of the Hunter Guild, I still have the qualifications for certification. Please rest assured that Yanhuo does not need to unload the electric dragon. I will ride on the hoisting platform to get close to the certification. It will be over soon."
Dewen assured.
"That's it. Thank you very much."
Li Fan looked calm on the outside, but inside he was in a state of turmoil.
Ah! No! Chief researcher of Longli Institute, just go and have a look, Xixi will be exposed immediately!
"By the way, Devin, while we were chasing the electric dragon, we discovered a tall tower standing in the clouds and witnessed the Sky Comet Dragon flying to the top of the tower."
Li Fan informed.
The long ears of the dragon clan trembled, and Dewen suddenly turned around as he was walking towards the lifting platform.
"That's the Tower of Babel recorded in ancient documents. No wonder there are no traces of the Sky Comet Dragon inhabiting the ground."
After Dewen finished chanting, he excitedly grabbed Li Fan's shoulders with both hands.
"So this information is so important! Di Lu, quickly take out the route map you drew!"
"And a road map!"
Dewen was shocked again.
"Yes, meow! But the flight path of the team is very narrow, I don't know if it is suitable for a giant airship."
Dilu said and handed over the map.
It felt like I had found a treasure, but when I saw the contract in my other hand, I fell into hesitation.
"Dewen, the tracking and research on Tian Huilong is related to the safety of countless people. It doesn't matter if the contract verification is slower. The most important thing right now is to start the investigation."
Li Fan said with a serious face.
"Okay! I will report this major geographical discovery to the headquarters in the name of the team. It is not yet certain what the reward will be, but in the next issue of the journal, the team will definitely be commended!"
After Dewen handed over the contract, he quickly walked to the scientific research cabin with the route map of the Tower of Babel and the team of researchers.
"Please leave it to me!"
A young male investigator with a four-star hunter badge walked out.
"Well, investigator, how much do you know about electric dragons?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
Although the overall size of the mobile guild branch on the Pioneer cannot be compared with that in villages and towns, it is impossible to have only one investigator.
"I feel ashamed to say that I have only participated in the joint mission of hunting Broken Dragon before. I don't know much about electric dragons. However, there is a senior in the mobile branch who has encountered electric dragons in the wild. How about I find him?"
"No need, I only care about you, so you can do it."
Li Fan said firmly.
"Thank you for your trust, I will complete the certification seriously!"
The young male investigator was very encouraged.
Great, just as I expected.
Li Fan secretly rejoiced.
There is an unavoidable problem in the hunting contract review mechanism.
That is a four-star hunter investigator, whose understanding of five-star monsters is actually relatively limited.
But even if they are limited, they are already the most qualified professional certification personnel currently.
The Hunter Guild is actually very powerless in this regard. It cannot train a five-star hunter and then let him continue to be stationed in the wild as an investigator.
It would be more reasonable to at least be stationed in branches in various places and serve as branch presidents.
Moreover, the frequency of five-star contract certification is actually very low, making it difficult to learn from experience and cultivate specialized talents.
The hoisting platform slowly descended and reached the bottom of the Flame.
The young male investigator had never seen an electric dragon before, so he could only keep reading the investigator's manual and follow the procedures for authentication.
Ten minutes later, the hoisting platform rose.
"This is the first time I saw an electric dragon. It is really a terrifying monster. There is no problem with the certification. The damage to the left wing claw, the bullet marks left on the wing membrane of the chest, and the unique smell type of the dye bomb can all confirm that this is the one that attacked the Pioneer.
That electric dragon."
The young male investigator informed with a smile.
"That means the certification is correct?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
"Not yet. The medium-sized airship Yanhuo is not qualified to carry living five-star monsters. It is recommended to kill them before carrying them."
"ah?"
Li Fan didn't expect that he would overturn here.
"Don't worry, Yiqunling is an unowned area, so there are special carriage conditions. As long as the flight route avoids villages and towns, it can be carried."
After the young male investigator informed him, he took out the seal from his backpack and pressed it on the Electric Rebel area.
"That's good."
"Please pay attention to transportation safety. If a monster escapes midway, be sure to report it to the branch where it belongs. Thank you for the team's efforts in stabilizing the area."
"Thank you for your certification."
Li Fan took the certified contract and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The rewards in this joint contract do not directly increase the star level, and all the materials belong to the team and cannot be used.
But the bonus of 170,000 z and the direct promotion to the senior hunter of Longli Academy are two extremely generous conditions.
Among them, being promoted to the senior hunter of Longli Academy not only has extraordinary significance for Li Fan, but is also very timely.
The next day, the cabin restaurant of the Flame.
"Ryuuliyuan's senior hunter sounds like he's very powerful. What are the specific benefits?"
Eudora looked at the contract and asked curiously.
"You can enter the top-secret archives of the headquarters research institute and consult a lot of banned first-hand ecological information. The headquarters also has an exclusive large room. You can get discounts in the headquarters restaurant and equipment workshop. When going on a hunting expedition, the Longli Institute will assign an airship delivery team, and also
What’s coming?”
Li Fan told all the benefits he learned yesterday.
"There are also free cat hunting training courses, meow, I signed up for a musical instrument class!"
Dilu, who was holding the horn flute, reminded.
"It looks pretty good. I remember that if you are recognized by Longliyuan, it will also be helpful for the guild's five-star hunter evaluation."
Eudora recalled.
"I plan to stay at the Longli Academy headquarters in Bernard Village for a while. During this period, everyone will go separately. If you want to find me, just go to the headquarters research institute."
Li Fan arranged it.
"What are you doing there?"
Eudora asked curiously.
"To do something very important."
Li Fan said softly.
Five days later, in the early morning, the Yanhuo landed at the airport on top of Longliyuan.
After the team verified the contract, Li Fan and Eudora obtained the status of a senior hunter at the same time, and began their separate operations.
Squeak!
Pushing open the door of the institute, the hall full of bookcases seemed a little deserted because the Natural Selection had already set off and a large number of researchers had left with the ship.
Li Fan came to the management office table, where a short old dragon woman was sitting on a chair with her feet dangling in the air, looking down at the pages of a book.
"Hello mother-in-law! I want to go to the top-secret archives! This is my senior hunter badge!"
Li Fan was afraid that the other party was hard of hearing, so he increased his volume.
"Oh! What a dynamic hunter. He has become a senior member at such a young age."
Granny Dragon took off her reading glasses, looked at the senior hunter badge, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, the medal has just been cast and is still warm."
"Todd and Sickle from the research team have set off with the ship, so I will go with you."
After speaking, Granny Dragonman jumped off the chair and picked up the small cane that was leaning on the table and shaped like a giant snake surrounding a mountain.
In front of the iron door of the top-secret archives room, Grandma Longren walked to the flower pot on the left, squatted down and lifted a corner of the flower pot, and took out a silver key.
Click! As the key was turned, the heavy iron door was opened by Granny Dragon with one hand.
Li Fan walked into it.
Three rows of bookcases are arranged horizontally, with an aisle in the middle and four rectangular tables.
In terms of configuration alone, the top-secret archives room is not much different from the outside.
And because draft papers were scattered everywhere and boxes containing documents were placed randomly, it gave people a feeling of not knowing where to start.
"The appearance of Sky Comet Dragon made the researchers so busy that they forgot to clean it, which made them laugh."
Grandma Longren sighed.
"It's fine."
Li Fan didn't care about the environment.
"According to the access regulations of the top-secret archives, I can't leave before you leave. Why don't I help you find the information you want."
"Well"
"I'm a little short now, but I can point out where the information is for you to check."
"Thank you very much. I'm looking for information on how to defeat the Skeleton Dragon back then."
"On the seventh floor of the bookcase on the left side of the second row of Skeleton Dragon, the books with Naraku's Demonic Star on the spine are all about Skeleton Dragon."
Li Fan followed Granny Long's instructions and quickly put six large books on the table.
Granny Dragonman sat down at another table and asked, "Newly promoted senior hunter, can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Li Fan."
"Li Fan, this name is a bit unfamiliar."
"What about your mother-in-law?"
"My name is Vegasa."
"Vegasa, you are the dean of Ryūliyuan!"
Li Fan had heard this name more than once on the Pioneer.
"Yes, the researchers have all traveled far away, so there must be someone to take care of the institute! Look at my memory, it turns out that I forgot it here."
As Vegasa spoke, she took out an unfinished sweater from the half-open drawer of the table in front of her.
This stitch is okay, but if I were to knit
What am I thinking! I'd better be more cautious.
Li Fan moved the open notebook in front of his chest and read the contents.
Summary of variations:
The first type is adaptive mutation, which refers to the mutation that monsters undergo in order to adapt to the environment and maintain their own survival.
The more representative one is the special individual Tianyan Bubble Fox Dragon.
In order to make up for the lack of vision, continuous training stimulates foam perception ability.
Judging from the will-o'-the-wisp foam that can cause explosions, eating habits have also changed.
In this constant adaptation, a unique and alternative set of mutations is achieved.
The second type is excitation mutation, which means that certain substances react after being absorbed into the body, allowing the monster to mutate.
The most representative ones are the golden lion who eats the unicorn horn in order to achieve transformation, and the black dragon and the mad dragon virus emitted by the heavenly dragon.
Looking at the summary of the current research on mutations, which was not too much, Li Fan opened the first black book marked Naraku's Demonic Star.
Attribute energy transformation is nothing unusual in other games.
But it is a very rare trait among Monster Hunter monsters.
The Skeleton Dragon not only changes its attributes, but also does so by simulating the reshaping of the monster's skeleton.
That is to say, after devouring the hunted monster, the attribute energy can be restored using only part of the skeleton.
This can be said to be magical to an unbelievable degree.
This is what Li Fan values.
He believed that if this mystery could be solved, he might be able to find a way for monsters to break through mutation.
