Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1234 1216. Settlement and return to the stronghold

"Speaking of the Institute of Ecology," Lan En and Aiden walked together to a cooler distance, "When I left last time, the director said he wanted to study the kind of things I saw that are invisible to ordinary people. Blue Spot', any progress?"

When he left last time, Lan En could vaguely see through [spiritual vision], blue light spots that diffused in the new continent and seemed to have a general tendency to flow.

But it is not visible to ordinary people.

He always felt that the flow of this light spot seemed to be related to the direction in which the old lava dragon was headed when his sense of position was misled by something.

The director of the Institute of Ecology at the time, an old man from the Douding'er Dragon tribe, looked very excited when he heard this conjecture. He didn't know what the research progress was now.

But Aiden scratched his head and lifted the light crossbow that was a little down on his shoulder.

"I haven't had much communication with people from the Institute of Ecology recently. After all, you saw it."

As he said that, Aiden smiled cheerfully and patted his biceps in a toned posture towards Lan En.

"I have now officially started a high-level hunting mission. Recently, with the in-depth exploration of the New World, many situations have cropped up. I am very busy."

"I guess even the old men at the Institute of Ecology should focus on practical research now, and put speculative research first."

"Oh," the demon hunter nodded with understanding and sympathy, "The old men are probably going to be sick now."

"Who says it's not?"

Aiden nodded in agreement.

As he said that, two strong and brisk hunters caught up with Tissaya and the others who were slowly evacuating with the wounded.

Thanks to the fact that there are many small carts of the investigation team around the base, which are similar to the carts of the Ellu Maomao Team, otherwise it would be a problem to carry so many wounded people.

Qilin reluctantly pulled the cart, while Flanceball stood on the cart and looked back from time to time, so he was the first to see the hunters.

"They're back, meow!"

The calico kitten jumped up happily on the car floor and waved behind her.

Everyone heard the noise and turned around in surprise.

People's voices echoed distantly in the canyon.

Aiden and Lan En walked up to them, and the cheerful fifth-term group members were the first to talk proudly and happily.

"We trapped that Flame King Dragon in the arena!"

As soon as these words came out, Tissaya and Berengar, who followed Lan En, only knew that the Flame King Dragon was powerful, but did not quite understand what the ancient dragon meant in this world, did not react at all.

But Aiden's partner, the editor Gray, who was not as delicate as a girl at first, leaned over to help the reluctant Qilin push the cart. At this time, she opened her mouth blankly and looked at her partner and Lan En.

"What did you say?"

She seemed to think that it was more likely that she had misheard, so she asked for confirmation.

"You...trapped an ancient dragon?!"

"Barely." Lan En added next to him, "It was too lazy to fly away because the gunpowder was delicious. We blew the door to pieces and locked it in the arena."

But after hearing this, Gray's face suddenly became excited.

Although this 'Trapped Ancient Dragon' is a bit watery, it is still something that has never happened before in this world.

But how could a female scholar who could work as a hunter's companion compiler in the New World board a ship to the New World without academic perseverance and enterprising spirit?

When encountering an unprecedented situation, shock and disbelief are just the first reaction, followed by excitement of course!

This is an opportunity to study the ecology of ancient dragons!

"We need to return to the Star Stronghold quickly!" Gray said immediately after calming down.

Aiden nodded in agreement: "Lan and I think so too!"

"Then please take these wounded to a nearby camp, meow!"

The black and white Elle cat took the initiative to speak out.

"Send them to the camp, and then I will find other escaped El cats to take care of them, and wait for the people sent by the Star Stronghold to come over."

"Although the camp is a bit rough, the hunters left supplies there, there is food and drink, and the location and terrain are very safe!"

"And their conditions are not serious." Berengar, who has been taking care of people with the Ellu cats just now, also said beside him, "Most of them are just dehydrated and fainted by the heat. Their physiques are surprisingly good, and they can survive the high temperature It’ll be fine soon.”

"Then let's move quickly."

Finally, Greg said with finality.

Tissaya looked at the powerful editor with admiration.

The former dean of Arethusa always admired women who were strong, independent, and daring to forge ahead.

The camp is a small facility set up in the wilderness for hunters to take a short break and store simple supplies.

Aiden himself had rested in various camps in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland area, so he led everyone to the nearest camp without the black and white Ellu cat taking the lead.

With Yanwanglong sealed in the arena, the heat released by its natural activities was also greatly blocked.

Although the campground is still a little hot now, it's not serious.

There were already several people getting off the carts on the road to refill their own water.

The average physical fitness of the members of the New World Survey Team made Berengar purse his lips, but he had nothing to say. After seeing everyone settled in the camp, Lan En, Aiden and their group prepared to rush back towards the Star Stronghold.

At this time, Aiden and Gray blew the whistle to summon the pterosaur.

Now stay away from the Flame King Dragon. The momentum of the ancient dragon will not make the Winged Dragon dare not come, or fly around like crazy.

"Can we call a few more to come over?"

Aiden said to Lan with a joking smile on his face.

Obviously, he still remembered the time when Lan En was like hanging bacon, rubbing against other people's pterosaurs, and it was better not to mention two pterosaurs on their way.

"That's not necessary," Lan En shrugged, "Just call for one more."

"Eh? Have you lost weight?"

Aiden habitually touched his short-haired mohawk and exclaimed.

"Have you lost such an exaggerated amount of weight?"

"That's not the case. I just have a more efficient way to travel." Lan En had a calm smile on his face and patted the neck of the unicorn beside him.

Under Lan En's movement, the wide and drapey rune cloth on Qilin's body floated in the air.

Most of its body, which had been covered up, was exposed.

"Scared!"*2

Immediately, Aiden and Gray leaned back sharply.

Kirin is a commonly known type of ancient dragon that is widely distributed and has a gentle temperament.

Of course the two elite investigation team members could see it at a glance.

It has a horse-shaped skeleton with fine scales, dark blue thunder patterns on the scales, and white fluffy mane swaying like flames on the joints, neck, and chin.

The pale horn on the head has the texture of a lens.

Of course this is the ancient dragon - Qilin!

But can an ancient dragon be ridden? !

Never heard of it!

Somehow, Aiden and Gray felt a little numb when they saw Lan En patting Qilin's neck with a 'calm' smile.

"Real or false?" Yaoqiang's editor muttered to himself, still a little disbelieving. "Like the legend? Helping each other with humans? Peaceful coexistence?"

Kirin's gentle temperament has even left a legend among humans that it once raised human orphans.

But I've seen it with my own eyes

But now, they saw it.

The flannel ball picked up the horns of the unicorn and squatted on the unicorn's head to comb its fur!

"I feel like you are exaggerating more than us trapping the Yanwang Dragon."

Aiden said with the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Normal." Lan En responded still 'calmly'.

Gray was holding his record book. He was a little cautious and a little eager to lift the magic harness on Qilin and observe it carefully.

Before that, although they had seen the Qilin, due to the obstruction of the rune cloth and horse gear, they only thought it was the transportation mount that Lan En found in another world.

Not to mention other worlds, even in their old continent, there are hunters in some remote places who tame creatures similar to horses to help them hunt and travel.

The New World Survey Team has recently developed a relationship with the local Deter lynx, and is preparing to learn from them how to temporarily tame local small monsters.

At that time, small monsters like the ferocious jackal dragon can be temporarily tamed for a period of time in the wild and serve as a support.

So at first, Aiden and Gray didn't think the existence of Qilin was a big deal.

But who knew there was a unicorn underneath this wide and tight harness suit? Ancient dragon! ?

Just as he was talking, Lan En had already helped Tissaya onto Qilin's horse, and then walked to Berengar's side.

Outside the camp, three pterosaurs had already followed the call of the whistle and flew over.

And according to the habit trained by humans, he stood on the tree outside the camp, wearing saddles that matched the standard projectile of the investigation team.

"Okay." Aiden curled his lips and looked at Lan En with envy. "Then let's fly first. You have Qilin, so don't leave us too far behind."

Even if the hunters have not seen it with their own eyes, most of them have heard about the Kirin's speed.

With that said, Aiden and Gray waved to the two pterosaurs standing on the tree.

Two pterosaurs suddenly flew over their heads at low altitude, and the two of them skillfully aimed at the saddle on the pterosaurs, and fired the projector hook lock on their left arm with a 'whoosh' sound.

The hook lock locked on the saddle, and the pterosaur roared, taking the hunter and the editor into the sky.

Tissaya and Berengar both looked at the retreating figures of the two with curiosity and surprise.

Using flying creatures as regular means of transportation really makes them feel fresh.

"The creatures in this world are really amazing. Those pterosaurs that can easily carry people flying, won't they hurt humans?"

Berengar asked Lan En with emotion and strangeness as he walked over.

"Why would they feel comfortable using these pterosaurs?"
