But you just zipped up there! Are you a One-Handed Sword User? I didn’t see you on the ship before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aibo seemed like someone who would start chattering away the moment she got excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann didn’t mind this kind of personality, as it’s much better than those who fail to act due to panic and fear in critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But the amount of information in this sentence was overwhelming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann discreetly swallowed and chuckled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seven-meter high vertical rock wall, climbing in full armor, was considered a ten-second task in their eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are everyone here monkeys?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, \"One-Handed Sword User\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence structure feels a bit like Japanese to Lann. In this context, \"User\" refers not to a \"messenger\" of someone or something, but as a \"user\" of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are warriors distinguished by weapon types here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are people’s basic qualities and combat styles determined by the weapon they use? I can’t quite figure it out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, when Aibo said ’haven’t seen on the ship,’ it indicates that they were caught up in the Molten Mountain Dragon’s movement while on a voyaging ship, ending up on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the span of a sentence, Lann and Mentos had already combined efforts to analyze a lot of information as an initial understanding of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s complicated; we’d better find a way out of the Molten Mountain Dragon’s attack range first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann seamlessly changed the subject, and both Aibo and Wende easily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This even made Lann swallow back the follow-up words still left unsaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann licked his lips, trying to ease the frustration of having the energy without a place to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aibo, you mentioned earlier... Are these lava the secretion of the Molten Mountain Dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while retreating towards them, Lann’s keen hearing had caught this bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende’s reaction was strange, as this short-haired, well-built young man appeared horrified as Lann began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like what would happen next was even more frightening than the Molten Mountain Dragon’s lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth in anxiety but failed to make a sound, only able to frantically try to stop Lann from finishing the sentence while running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, even though he wasn’t short, he was still a little shy of 1.9 meters tall, unable to completely cover Lann’s 2.5-meter tall mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only cover his head in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lann felt confused and silently increased his alertness in case something more frightening than the dragon’s secretion appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon after, he roughly understood what Wende was ’afraid’ of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aibo’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement when Lann asked this question!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right! The Molten Mountain Dragon, formally known as Sol Magdolos, is a super-large ancient dragon-type monster! The magma we see, the basalt formed after the magma cools, and obsidian, are all merely its secretion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of temperature, the Molten Mountain Dragon’s secretion is no different from magma. But it’s undoubtedly biomass, not inorganic matter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Aibo excitedly raised the large hardcover book slung across her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, once this book was fitted with metal corners, it would qualify as a heavy mace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by her tone, if Lann weren’t currently with her on the Molten Mountain Dragon’s back, he might have believed they were in some harmless biological exhibition hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Aibo, who harbors great interest in biology, would be enthusiastically pressing against the glass, observing the biological samples inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the point is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang,\" a massive chunk of lava, or the dragon’s secretion, splattered out from its rocky skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende adeptly pulled Aibo away from the danger zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aibo earnestly thanked Wende afterward, but given her still excited demeanor, she’d likely get worked up again in another incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann looked at Wende with slight sympathy, while Wende waved his hand with an expression of \"let’s just leave it at that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes it’s really not easy to deal with a companion’s overly passionate research zeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aibo awkwardly scratched her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, our situation earlier is rare, given that I’m an investigator and Wende is a hunter. Normally, I’d only enter the hunting ground to record and collect data after he’s completed the hunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! We’ve arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of the journey rescued Aibo from her awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio reached the relatively highest point on the dragon’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unimaginably colossal creature had survived for countless years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stair-like mound had amassed on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aibo’s statement \"these are solidified secretions of the Molten Mountain Dragon\" is true, then this dragon is truly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann gently stomped and tapped the dragon’s back, feeling momentarily unable to describe his sensations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, he somewhat understood Aibo’s excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of nature enables such a creature to emerge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready! We need to jump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lann could fully absorb his feelings, Aibo suddenly reminded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann was stunned amid the earthquake-like vibrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the dragon’s movements, the current location couldn’t support any standing living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this \"volcano\" is alive. It can not only walk but also switch between standing and lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s really time to leave, but how exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lying dragon probably stretches hundreds of meters in length, standing at about eighty meters tall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Just jump, huh?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are people in this world all this intense? I’ve trained in martial arts but wouldn’t dare try this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann looked at the dragon’s external body, easily sixty meters in height, and swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Aibo and Wende weren’t some sort of monsters capable of \"landing naked from a hundred-meter height without a scratch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aibo pulled a whistle necklace from around her neck and blew hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An odd sound, outside normal human auditory frequency but causing Lann to slightly furrow his brow, was emitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a piercing call reverberated from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a creature like a pterosaur among dinosaurs, though it seemed equipped with human-made saddles on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold tight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vibrations increased in intensity; the Molten Mountain Dragon seemed eager to change its posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its every action posed an extinction-level event for the tiny creatures on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to stand here anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before the trio was flung off, Wende resolutely jumped straight off the dragon’s back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his left hand was a device resembling a crossbow, shooting out an arrow with a rope attaching to the saddle on the pterosaur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly not-so-strong pterosaur had no trouble carrying him aloft as he urgently reached out to signal the other two mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lann, too, stopped hesitating, securing the unsteady Aibo and leapt out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His burst of jumping power was notably impressive, directly grasping Wende’s extended hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until airborne, steadily distancing from that living volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Lann saw the Molten Mountain Dragon’s full appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-06T10:40:25.843Z",1,"novelbin.me","058fa6523fb7a38caa6ee949a183b4eafab1c93bcf81e880849b98d91c7a3295","bear-school-astartes-chapter-670","bear-school-astartes-chapter-668",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
