Successful Expulsion and the Investigation Team

The Mist Dragon had never been so disheveled.

It felt immense humiliation in its heart, but this humiliation didn't transform into anger; instead, it awakened its instincts.

Escape, leave!

This was what it most wanted to do at that moment.

The massive fireballs were simply too dense. Every time it was hit, its desire to escape intensified.

With the deterrence of its poison mist, the Fire Dragons maintained a considerable distance from the Mist Dragon. At this range, the flames' power was significantly reduced, preventing the Mist Dragon from sustaining fatal damage.

As the Mist Dragon plunged into the forest, the Fire Dragons completely lost their target.

Above the dissipating poison mist, the Fire Dragon pack let out roars of victory.

"Roar~~~"

A long, piercing roar, like an approaching bomber, echoed from the distance.

The colossal Brachydios was rushing over.

It had heard them!

It had heard them from very, very far away!

This was the sound of two giant beasts fighting for their lives, the bloodiest contest between life and death!

Such commotion, such sounds made its emotions soar, its blood surge!

It felt its scales about to burst!

It needed to fire! It needed to unleash everything!!

It wanted to bring this beautiful music to an end with its scales!!

"Roar?"

Mr. Brachydios, the 'sky patrol,' who had arrived at the scene of the incident with all its might, was met with the gaze of countless cold, vertical pupils. A swarm of mighty Fire Dragons, like a dark and evil force, stared unblinkingly at this uninvited guest.

The Brachydios's sound system was shut off, its roar abruptly silenced.

"This is bad! This isn't a fight between giant beasts! It's a bullying session by the Fire Dragon pack against some poor child!"

Realizing it had been tricked, the Brachydios awkwardly twisted its body. Under the gaze of numerous Fire Dragons, it performed a nose-dive crash landing, then took off in a flustered manner, flying away in a panic.

Its strength was considerable; even when facing a Fire Dragon, it could almost crush it.

But that was in a one-on-one situation!

There were so many Fire Dragons here, and they all seemed agitated, eager for a fight. They clearly weren't to be trifled with.

It was just big, not stupid!

It had no desire to challenge an entire Fire Dragon pack alone and act as aerial delivery.

Watching the retreating back of the Brachydios, the Fire Dragons exchanged bewildered glances, completely unable to understand why it had come.

After casting a deep look at Luo Yun, who had managed to fly up, the Fire Dragons, having completed their Ancient Dragon defense battle, flew back to their nests in the Ancient Tree.

The Detters, seeing Luo Yun and Ya Ji return safely, danced with joy, filling the nest with continuous meows.

When the Fire Dragons had left the Ancient Tree to support Luo Yun, the Detters had also arranged for companions to scout the exterior of the Ancient Tree's canopy.

They had witnessed the battle between the Fire Dragons and the Mist Dragon.

It was an unbelievable victory; the Mist Dragon, which usually left creatures helpless, had been driven away just like that!

And the greatest contributor to all this was their patron, Lord Luo Yun!

"Meow! Meow meow!!"

The Detter Chief let out a loud cry, quieting the excited Detters.

Luo Yun needed to rest well now. The scars on his body were symbols of honor, and they shouldn't disturb him at this time.

Following the Detter Chief's arrangement, the Detters reluctantly returned to their living quarters.

As they left, they sneakily hid and took away the scales Luo Yun shed during his daily metabolism.

Regarding this, neither Luo Yun, Ya Ji, nor the Detter Chief acted as if they saw anything.

Luo Yun and Ya Ji didn't mind; after all, Fire Dragons had strong metabolic capabilities and shed many scales daily. The Detters were responsible for cleaning the nest, and these shed scales were precisely what they cleaned up.

The Detter Chief understood that this kind of worship towards their loyal Dragon would help increase the cohesion of its tribe, which was a great thing, and it had no reason to stop it.

Thus, the Mist Dragon interception plan came to its conclusion.

However, Luo Yun still felt a lingering unease. He had a feeling that this inexperienced Mist Dragon wouldn't give up so easily.

It might very well return, and if it did, it would surely be wary of Luo Yun's plans.

Ancient Dragons were not ordinary monsters, and the Mist Dragon, in particular, was one of the most intelligent representatives among Ancient Dragons.

Next time, it would likely be even more troublesome, not giving the Fire Dragon pack a chance to locate it. He needed to come up with a new plan.

With these thoughts, Luo Yun began his recovery.

This time, the Mist Dragon had mostly inflicted superficial wounds. Instead, the crash landing had caused significant internal damage to Luo Yun.

Fortunately, because the Mist Dragon was repelled and hadn't reappeared for many days, some creatures began to gather near the Ancient Tree once more.

The monsters that had fled in haste gradually returned, greatly easing the food pressure on the Fire Dragons.

With Ya Ji's care, and the Detters volunteering to go to the lower levels of the Ancient Tree to gather information from the returning Rathians, Luo Yun had been having a very relaxed few days.

But all of this was likely just the calm before the storm!

In the Great Antlion Desert, a creature of immense size, with a pair of thick, sharp horns on its head, a ferocious appearance, and a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, a beast that looked incredibly formidable and savage, but whose diet consisted of cactuses, abruptly burrowed out of the sand.

Its target was clear: the 'little things' that dared to roam freely in its territory.

Duang!!

A massive shield blocked the Horned Dragon's charge, meeting its massive horns with a solid thud.

The Great Leader's arm muscles bulged, veins clearly visible, and his legs gouged two long tracks in the ground.

"Aaaargh!!"

Accompanied by his roar, this muscular man, who was only a little over two meters tall, actually managed to stop the charge of this 24-meter-long behemoth!

Not only that, but he was also locked in a battle of strength with it!

It was as if a normal person was evenly matched in a pure test of strength against a creature the size of a mouse.

This was the human form of the Golden Lion; this was the true value of a legendary hunter!

A mighty white Felyne charged forward rapidly, leaped onto the Horned Dragon's back, and began charging its greatsword.

At the same time, on the Horned Dragon's strong right leg, the Sword Master, clad in the Female Fire Dragon armor, also raised the Female Fire Dragon Greatsword to charge.

The Sword Master, arriving slightly later, completed her three-stage charge in less than a second, her greatsword heavily slashing down on the right leg, which was covered in scales and keratin.

The Horned Dragon let out a pained cry. Immediately after, the Great Leader's Felyne companion also finished charging, slashing down on the Horned Dragon's head, piercing the scales and getting stuck in its skull.

This injury made the Horned Dragon's eyes turn red.

With strength it didn't know it had, it suddenly shoved the Great Leader flying forward, flung the Felyne off, and was about to sweep its massive horns at the Sword Master at its feet.

From the sky, the Dragon Person Hunter descended, wielding his Insect Glaive, precisely driving the tip of his polearm into the wound left by the Felyne's slash.

The heavy impact threw the Horned Dragon off balance, causing its head to smash directly into the ground.
