Monster Hunter from League of Legends

Entering the extraction interface, looking at the hunting points of just over 2,000, my mind suddenly soared.

Damn, Faan's biggest gain before this was over 250 evolution points from the Frostfang Wolves. He spent 200 of them on a single draw for a mid-level ecological entry. Of course, he also had a pretty good gain: the Ice Bag of the Transformed Shark. While it didn't come in handy in this battle, there really wasn't much else to do.

After all, the properties of the ice bag conflict with those of the fire dragon. It can only be said that in Freddrode, depending on the environment, such as underwater battlefields, it can have a benefit that is not inferior to or even exceeds that of dragon humanization.

And now, in a lottery of the same level, Fane can draw ten times! Ten times!!!

However, Fane did not immediately choose to extract the ecological niche in ten consecutive draws.

Each draw in a different niche has a guaranteed minimum draw. This doesn't guarantee a drop in ten consecutive draws, but rather guarantees that the first draw in a given niche will yield a specific item. In this case, the middle niche does offer a bonus to pollute the prize pool, but it still leaves a lot of other miscellaneous items.

Evolution points are limited; the more you hunt the same creature, the fewer you gain. Therefore, Fane can't rely on continuous hunting of a single creature or establishing an ecological farm to achieve a continuous production cycle. In this situation, Fane must carefully consider whether to directly perform a ten-stage combo of a medium-sized niche, draw a few attributes, and replenish a large amount of high-value supplies.

Or... [Hunting Lottery]

A special draw mechanism in the system lottery. A hidden draw that can only be performed after completing a special target hunt. The draw's niche level varies depending on the strength of the prey.

The two beast-hunting lords this time were, at best, close to the upper ecological niche. This difficulty was mainly due to their sheer numbers; their actual ecological niche difficulty was mid-level. Even within the mid-level niche, they weren't particularly strong monsters.

But now, because of Volibear's arrival and death at the last moment, the level of the hunting lottery has reached - [Ancient Dragon]

Ancient Dragon level lottery!

Fine forgot everything about the meso-niche lottery without even thinking about it.

You should know that the highest level in the system's lottery is the upper ecological niche, and ancient dragons and beings above ancient dragons cannot accumulate points through regular hunting to participate in the lottery. Only by hunting powerful creatures of sufficient specifications can you have the opportunity to get the corresponding lottery opportunity.

And a top-level ancient dragon ecosystem... whether it's the ability of the Nergigante to prey on other ancient dragons to strengthen its own strength and phosphorus armor, or the dragon-attribute energy jet of the Sky Comet Dragon, the symbiotic microbial cluster of the Corpse Hazak Dragon, the Qilin's horn that can control the sky-toward thunder, the bamboo forest control of the Yaong Dragon, the storm control of the Steel Dragon, and the magnetic field control of the Extreme Dragon, they are all the best of the best!

Any ecological entry of this level is enough to change Fane's current fighting style and habits, and turn them into the development of this ability, thereby maximizing the potential of this entry.

To explain it in the way of a card game, it is enough to build a powerful deck with this card as the core.

To explain it in terms of MOBA games, you can completely use this hero as the core of the lineup for character selection and equipment matching.

To explain it in FPS terms, it means that you can completely allocate high tactical resources with this character as the core.

It can be said that as long as one is usable, it will definitely be enough for Fan to use for a lifetime!

He silently chanted the lucky draw in his mind, and a moment later, the prize appeared. However, the moment he saw the entry, Fahn froze in his tracks, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

The reason why Faan was so hesitant was simple: the origin of this entry was unique. It was a rare ancient dragon in the Hunter's Guild that had to be killed upon discovery—not expelled or repelled.

Ancient Dragon Level Entry: [Black Dragon Virus]

After seeing this entry, Fane didn't know whether he should show a happy expression or a depressed expression.

The Black Eclipse Dragon itself isn't a full-fledged Ancient Dragon, but rather the juvenile form of a high-level Ancient Dragon called the Celestial Dragon. However, due to the extreme danger and extremely rare birth rate of a Celestial Dragon, even its juvenile form is still classified as a separate Ancient Dragon. The name of this Celestial Dragon juvenile is the Ancient Dragon that Fane had drawn: the Black Eclipse Dragon.

The Tianhui Dragon is held in such high regard due to its exceptional abilities. The scales it produces contain a special "Kuanglong virus," which isn't simply a toxin but a unique organic biological crystal. These crystals, spread throughout the scales, react with the blood of living creatures, transforming into active molecular clusters, gradually and irreversibly transforming the organism.

In the Hunter Guild's experiments, all the test animals went mad and died. It was for this reason that the virus was called the "Mad Dragon Virus." The reason the Tenkai Dragon was so terrifying and so deadly was that as long as it was born, even if it did nothing, simply existing, the Mad Dragon Virus would continue to spread.

Therefore, wherever the Black Eclipse Dragon appears, it is bound to be accompanied by endless conflict. The ecology of all areas it passes through is thrown out of control, and all living things are driven into a frenzy, fighting to the death. Even if all living things are exterminated, the over-activated Mad Dragon virus will cause continuous energy explosions to devastate the ecology. It can be said that the very existence of the Black Eclipse Dragon and the Heavenly Dragon represents nature's self-punishment and the self-destruction of the ecology.

Even among ancient dragons, the Black Dragon's ecology is unique. Black Dragons cannot reproduce. Only when they reach adulthood can their scales contain reproductive cells, which then spread through the scales. After an infected dragon dies, there's a chance its corpse will be transformed into a new Black Dragon. While this sounds like zombies, both Black Dragons and Tianhui Dragons are incredibly rare.

Because each Black Dragon needs to undergo multiple molts to evolve into a fully formed Tenkai Dragon, and each molt is a life-or-death struggle for the Black Dragon. There are no extra chances. If a molt fails, its skin and carapace become its own body bag. Before completing its final molt, the Black Dragon lacks eyes, relying entirely on its scales to sense the outside world.

It's precisely because of this extremely low molting success rate that the numbers of Black Erosion Dragons and Sky Dragons in the wild can be controlled. This method of ecological population control is also called the "invisible hand of the ecological chain" by scholars in the Hunter Guild.

And now...

I became a black dragon???

Chapter 62 Ancient Dragon Evolvable Item [Black Dragon Virus]

First appearing in Monster Hunter 4, as a legend and also as the juvenile of Tenkai Dragon, Black Dragon runs through the entire plot.

Without eyes, the Black Dragon relies on the scales spread by its wing membranes to grasp the location of living creatures and enhance its perception. When its perception reaches its peak, it grows tentacles and extends its wing feet, entering a "mad dragon" state.

Due to its unique ecological environment, Black Dragons often hide in sparsely populated areas far from civilization, even in remote mountainous areas. They are medium-sized and carnivorous, only venturing into species-rich areas to hunt when hungry. Among ancient dragons, they are cautious and rarely come into direct conflict with larger monsters. The territorial disputes that often occur with other dragons and ancient dragons in the Monster Hunter world are rarely seen with Black Dragons.

It's like Nasus in League... No, Nasus was at least still pretty strong in the mid-game. In the current meta, it's more like Mama's Dragon. He's a non-existent character in the early game, and even junglers find him disgusting. He's even worse than Nasus. At least Nasus has a Sheep's Tail to keep people at bay. This Charmander is truly disgusting, and it's useless until you have enough stacks.

Compared to Charmander's disgusting nature, Black Dragon's stealth abilities are quite impressive. Its body is covered in jet-black scales, allowing it to blend in with the darkness. Its massive wings trail behind it like a cloak. It lacks eyes and hearing, but to sense its surroundings, it has evolved the ability to utilize special "scale powder" to detect its surroundings. This "scale powder" allows it to distinguish between living and non-living things and also detect terrain. The spread of the Mad Dragon virus is largely due to this scale powder.

Similarly, the Black Dragon can also use the Mad Dragon Virus to instigate other creatures to fight for territory, and then come out to take advantage and develop after both sides are dead - a natural loser.

As one of the rare ancient dragon species in the Hunter Guild that everyone from top to bottom agrees must be killed, the scholars of the Dragon Academy have conducted relatively in-depth research on the Black Eclipse Dragon - after all, the Black Eclipse Dragon is the only ancient dragon that hunters are allowed to kill directly under any conditions and then understand through dissection and other means.

According to research, the Black Dragon can not only use the Mad Dragon virus to lock onto and attack targets, but also use the virus to strengthen itself. When a Black Dragon goes berserk, the Mad Dragon virus in its body is transported to its nerve centers through rapidly flowing blood. At this time, the tentacles on the Black Dragon's head will also erect, greatly enhancing the Black Dragon's perception ability and greatly strengthening the Black Dragon's control over its body.

This enhanced control over the body due to berserk state not only allows the Black Eclipse Dragon's underdeveloped back wing claws to be used as flexibly as its other limbs, but also allows it to "do two things at once". While attacking a target with its head, the wing claws behind it can attack another target through enhanced perception.

And in the frenzy state, the Black Erosion Dragon will spray out a large amount of dragon-attribute energy black mist containing the Mad Dragon Virus from its mouth, and these dragon-attribute energy black mists can react with scale powder to produce dust explosions, and the concentration of the black mist is so heavy that it can even change the regional celestial phenomena.

Once infected by the Crazy Dragon Virus, infected creatures will become ill either immediately or after a certain incubation period. Sick monsters' eyes turn bloodshot, black air emanates from their mouths, and they lose their sanity. Ultimately, they perish in battle with other monsters or are succumbed to the virus. Only a rare few survive, using the Crazy Dragon Virus to unleash their full potential, transcending their species' limitations and mastering an even more powerful ecological niche. The Hunter's Guild dubs these monsters, pushing their limits, "Extreme Individuals."

It is precisely because of this ability to change the celestial phenomena after going berserk that the Black Eclipse Dragon was later defined as an ancient dragon. Before the Hunter Guild knew this information, the Black Eclipse Dragon was once defined as a flying dragon species.

Besides the previously mentioned Mad Dragon Virus which will transform some monster corpses into new Black Eclipse Dragons, hunters also need to be extra careful when fighting Black Eclipse Dragons.

Because the scale powder is extremely contagious, just touching it will cause infection. It takes some time from infection to onset of the disease. If the virus is allowed to break out, the hunter will lose his natural recovery ability and will suffer greater damage when attacked by the Black Dragon.

According to the Hunter's Guild, this infection can be alleviated by consuming a counteracting fruit, or overcome through more aggressive attacks. Successfully overcoming the virus grants the hunter a boost similar to that of an "Ultimate Individual." In-game, this manifests as a frenzied attack state, significantly increasing the critical hit rate.

And these were only the abilities of the Black Eclipse Dragon. The mere birth of its adult, high-level Ancient Dragon, the Sky Dragon, caused a massive ecological collapse in Sky Mountain. All creatures fought each other without distinction, even the lower-level creatures dared to bark at the Map King, and the Dog Dragon dared to leap upon the Thunder Wolf Dragon. The battle continued without pause until all were utterly annihilated... The local villagers described the scene as a scene resembling hell.

Only one Tianhui Dragon will be born in a region. After the first Tianhui Dragon is born, the spread of its scale powder will be greatly enhanced. The mad dragon virus from adult individuals will have additional reproductive capacity and biological factors that inhibit the molting of other black dragons.

Simply put, a Black Eclipse Dragon begins a chicken-eating competition from birth. Only one Black Eclipse Dragon will mature into a Heavenly Dragon. Others, even if just a step behind, will be unable to molt due to these biological factors. Those currently molting will be forcibly interrupted, becoming a semi-adult Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon with an exceptionally strong desire for attack.

In this situation, looking at the entry he had drawn, [Black Dragon Virus], it was absolutely impossible for Fane to say that he had no feelings at all.

Others may not know what the Hunter Guild is like, but doesn’t Faen know it?

Among the higher-ups of the Hunter's Guild are a significant number of ancient dragonkind and dragonkind. These dragonkind collaborate with humans, Felynx, and other races to maintain the ecosystem. Under these circumstances, even the killing of a large, monstrous bird requires multiple approvals, requiring a detailed investigation of the local ecosystem and food chain before a decision can be made.

In other words, the nature of the ancient dragon cemetery in the New World is quite special, so the management of the Hunter Guild is relatively lax - this is also one of the reasons why Fan chose to go to the New World instead of Yanhuo Village.

Otherwise, taking too much material without authorization would be considered poaching. More serious cases would damage the local ecosystem, and if the consequences were extremely severe, they could even lead to being hunted by specialized night hunters and wanted by the Kingdom's knights.

As for the Black Eclipse Dragon, you must kill it on sight without mercy, without punishment, and with a huge reward... From this point of view, even in the eyes of ancient dragon scholars, the Black Eclipse Dragon is a complete enemy of the ecology, and must not be let go if you can kill it.

Due to the ecological peculiarity of the Black Dragon Virus, Fann didn't even pay too much attention to the bonus he won in the hunting lottery. He just glanced at it and clicked on the entry details.

Entry Name: [Black Dragon Virus]

Entry ecological niche: Ancient dragon level ecology (upgradable)

Entry effect: The rabies virus can be synthesized through biological glands and spread and infect through droplets, dandruff, etc.

Actively activated, the Crazy Dragon Virus can be transported throughout the body along with the blood, strengthening the nerve center, shielding pain, and enhancing the body's perception and maximum output.

When facing a target infected by the Crazy Dragon Virus, your attacks will be more effective, and you will be able to directly affect and perceive its nerves through the Crazy Dragon Virus.

When the resistance of the infected organism is low, you can manipulate the activity of the Crazy Dragon virus in the infected body through the virus concentration and activity, and perform transformation, parasitism, and strengthening.

Note: This entry is an evolutionary entry and is currently in the first stage. After entering the third stage, it will be upgraded to [Halo of the Lord of the Reincarnation]

Kaishizu, another name for Tenkairyu. Though known as the Dragon of Disaster, it is also worshipped as a deity in many parts of the Monster Hunter world.

After seeing the effect of the [Black Dragon Virus] entry and examining it for a moment, Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is controllable.

If the Black Dragon's virus is uncontrollable and will continue to spread, unconsciously affecting the surrounding ecology, then Fane may have to find a place to hide like the savages, and only continue his hunting journey when this problem is solved.

According to the effect explanation of the entry, the Black Dragon's virus mainly lies in the characteristics of the Mad Dragon virus itself.

After silently thinking about receiving it, Fan soon felt a new feeling in his body.

This feeling is not the growth of new organs - at least, without dragon humanization, new organs will not directly appear in Fane's body, but on the basis of the original foundation, the existing organs will develop new abilities.

For example, the ice bag of the dragon, before the dragon human transformation, exists in the form of sweat glands and tear glands. After the dragon human transformation, it will directly "evolve" in the body, just like the wings and flame bag grown by Fan.

This time, the rabies virus acts on the glands that synthesize dopamine and the glands that synthesize testosterone.

After the synthesis of the rabies virus is completed, the rabies virus can enter the metabolic system along with the secretion of the glands, thereby spreading through breathing and dandruff, and directly transmitting through droplets and contact.

With a slight push, Fahn opened his hand, and from the tip of his index finger, a drop of black liquid, the size of a millet grain, quickly leaked out. This liquid was absorbed into his body, acting on his nerves. With his mind focused, Fahn felt as if he had entered a whole new world. It was as if his nerves had broken through his skin, densely filling the surrounding air.

"Eh? Why did you enter the spirit realm again?"

Seeing Faan's condition, Allura was stunned at first, then quickly became excited:

"Could it be that you've already mastered the trick to entering the spiritual realm?!"

63

Chapter 63: The evolutionary conditions of the fire dragon and the lightning beads and lightning-resistant beads.

After hearing Allura's question, Faan was slightly stunned, and then quickly realized that the world he felt was the legendary spiritual realm.

This surprised Faan, but Faan did not respond immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to signal Alola not to disturb him, and then refocused his attention on the panel.

Seeing that Faan had other things to deal with, although Alola had many questions to ask, she clenched her fists and suppressed her inner curiosity, instead staring at Faan meditating there.

Well, meditation.

Although it was a bit strange to say so, the fact that Faan was standing in front of the monster corpses and drawing lots did seem like meditation to others, like appeasing the dead souls or granting them the glory of hunting.

"Although he always seems rough, Fain seems to be particularly delicate in certain matters."

Looking at Faan who was meditating, Ashe said with some emotion: "He is so passionate when hunting and has an unusual desire for battle. But after the battle, he will actively comfort the dead souls, allowing them to rest in the peace of the sheep after the glory of the wolf spirit..."

The so-called Lamb Spirit and Wolf Spirit are the Everhunters, Kindred. In Runeterra, primarily Valoran, the Wolf of the Everhunters represents an honorable death in battle, while the Lamb represents the soul's rest. In a harsh climate like the Freljord, where everyone desperately needs to survive, the devotion of Wolf Spirits is particularly strong. While Lamb Spirit devotion is relatively weak, it's not nonexistent.

If a warrior could die in battle, receiving the honor of the Wolf Spirit, and after death be recognized by his enemies, resting in peace with the Lamb Spirit, then this would undoubtedly be the most beautiful destination for the Freljordians—even his enemies would acknowledge his bravery.

Ashe looked at Allura beside her and said helplessly, "You also feel that he is always weird, right?"

"Are you... okay?"

Allura said uncertainly. But to be honest, when she saw that Faan was willing to comfort these deceased souls, even though their souls had been taken away by Valhalla, just watching Faan meditate made Allura feel happy.

At least, this fellow of mine wasn't just belligerent on the outside. In reality, he was still kindhearted.

Woohoo, that's so sad, Fane! You must be happy!

That's nonsense.

However, after seeing Faan grant these preys "Glory and Rest," Allura sat down quietly with Ashe and waited for Faan to finish his meditation. Ashe, on the other hand, glanced around and saw that Faan's attention was not there, so she immediately walked over and asked questions with a blushing face.

On the other hand, after confirming that the Mad Dragon Virus had no other negative effects, Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The system is doing well!

Although I have proven myself time and again with my unparalleled, stunning, indestructible, and courageous efforts, sweat, perseverance, fighting spirit, etc., it turns out that the system is still somewhat useful.

For a moment, Fane was even somewhat glad that he had drawn the [Black Dragon Virus] instead of the [Black Dragon Essence]. Otherwise, even if he could transform into a Black Dragon man, he probably wouldn't dare to use it.

A walking source of biological pollution, causing biological invasions wherever it goes, who can stand this!

While breathing a sigh of relief, Fine also focused his attention on the raffle bonus on the side.

There are no so-called lottery bonuses in the lower ecological niche - because the main purpose of the lower ecological niche lottery is to pollute the prize pool with bonuses.

Ever since he had drawn a few times and got all kinds of medicine bottles, Fan knew that if he really wanted the entry, he had to be willing to spend some money and draw from a higher ecological niche.

Including obtaining the [Ice Bag of the Transformed Dragon], Fan also obtained an ice-resistant bead and an ice-binding bead by adding a head.

That is just the bonus given by the first guarantee of the middle ecological niche.

And this time, I worked so hard to kill Volibear's consciousness...

Congratulations on obtaining [Lightning Resistance Orbs] x2 [Lightning Orbs] x2.

Large Recovery Potions × 10, Small Explosive Barrels × 10, Large Explosive Barrels × 3, Large Explosive Barrel G × 1.

Ghost Potion × 1, Strong Walking Potion × 1...

Ding, your transformation term [Essence of Fire Dragon] has reached critical proficiency. Please accumulate enough hunting points to evolve it.

Seeing the additional rewards at the back, Fan couldn't help but shout "Wuhu take off".

The bead's effect wasn't much to explain. The lightning attribute was likely due to the fact that both Hunter Lords were followers of Volibear, allowing them to primarily utilize lightning to enhance their attacks. The lightning element gained from gathering evolution points was predominantly a factor. What pleased Faan was that he received two beads each at once.

If the effect of just one bead wasn't significant enough, then the effect of two was significantly more pronounced. Just like the previous Ice Resistance Bead, with just one, Faan still felt chilled, but with two, the icy wind felt less warm than a gentle breeze. In combat, two beads were even enough to mitigate a significant portion of the damage dealt by wind and frost. After reaching three Ice Beads, the chilling wind unleashed by Glenna's True Ice weapon merely chilled Faan's brain, leading to a noticeable sobriety.

Three beads were usually the upper limit for defensive attributes, while six were usually required for attack-type beads. Two lightning beads were enough to significantly increase Fane's lightning damage.
