Thousands of tons of rocky peak fell from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this occurred in less than five seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After magically summoning the trees and completely collapsing the precarious rocky peak, the Deer Head Spirit seemed to have lost the intention to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath its withered deer skull, a deep, hollow hum sounded like the wind passing through an empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it took a small step back, crossed its two branch-like arms in front of its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a large group of Hate Dolly swooped out from the void, chirping and flying around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As feathers scattered, both the bird flock and the Deer Head Spirit vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Master had never seen such magic, and he was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Wende, a younger person with greater acceptance, who reacted first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the thorn protruding from the Sword Master’s shoulder armor and started running towards the edge of the Molten Mountain Dragon’s shell, pulling Aiden along with his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaffi jumped onto his back during this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just stand there! Retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende shouted, then threw both of them down one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was a platform formed by the tail of the Molten Mountain Dragon, the vertical height to the valley floor was barely over a meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a hunter, it felt like a small step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them stepped back onto solid ground again, and without agreeing, they started running as if being chased by rabid dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaffi pulled out a whistle from Wende’s neck, and with a furry little face, blew it hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A previously prepared gliding pterosaur skimmed over the low air, and Wende directly fired a projectile hook lock to latch onto the saddle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Master and Aiden were a step slower than Wende, but they also blew their whistle, latching onto the gliding pterosaur saddle and soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they flew far, they heard the Commander-in-Chief’s roar echoing in the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The remaining rocky peak! Detonate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order was given, and it was immediately executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another explosion boomed, endlessly echoing in the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly following, two rocky peaks fell on the Molten Mountain Dragon’s back, the shockwave swept forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of tons of rock fell from high altitude, crashing into the back of a super-large ancient dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene is a once-in-a-lifetime image in human ecology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rocks exploded upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expanding shockwave, mixed with dust and debris, formed a misty sheet of yellow sand that surged outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the valley’s terrain, this shock could only unfold in a single line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a fierce wind swept simultaneously forward and backward along the valley’s terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Master and others, still in mid-air, could only control and calm the gliding pterosaur while wobbling in the storm and sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, who originally crouched observing at the broken rocky peak, was also blown up two meters off the ground by this wind before landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the Molten Mountain Dragon’s unprecedented painful wail echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its discovery by humans, such painful sounds were never recorded from this super-large ancient dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps, discernibly staggering and faltering, could be heard in the lingering smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The super-large ancient dragon seemed to finally awaken from its impending senile decline, due to pain and danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash and friction between the Molten Mountain Dragon’s shell and the rocky wall could be heard from the smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In chaotic roaring, it forcibly turned within the relatively narrow valley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collisions between shell and rocky wall, awkward limb movements... It ignored them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just frantically scratched at the valley walls, moving in the opposite direction of its original path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Molten Mountain Dragon turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Wende and the others controlled their gliding pterosaur timely to approach the rocky walls on both sides; otherwise, they might have been swept onto its back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, they shouted cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand latched onto the gliding pterosaur saddle using the projectile; the other waved vigorously in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah-ha! We did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheering started low, drowned by the echoes of rocky peaks falling in the valley but soon, the investigation team all joined in lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even prepared firework barrels ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, this operation against the super-large creature had lasted for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was setting in the west; from the valley, only a gentle strip of light remained from the perspective of the investigation team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the seemingly relentless Molten Mountain Dragon was smoking, flashing with glowing lava patterns, heading towards the sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The splendor and eternity of nature together composed this stunning scene—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the nostalgic sunset glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo-hoo! Cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large wooden mugs like normal bowls filled with foamy beer clanked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunters began their celebration the night the operation ended without even removing their armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location was a canteen constructed by the supply convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle against nature involved no intrigue; a win was a win, they had no need to be on guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one hand holding a large chicken drumstick and the other a beer mug, Aibo always seemed to empty her food quickly. She had to continually migrate around tables to replenish food not too conspicuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Migration... wondering if she could write an ecological report on Aibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann held a fish bone in his mouth idly thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had studied ecology with the scholars at the ecological research institute for a while now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Writing an ecological survey paper could serve as a summary review of the learning phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief stood with a tall man who made Lann feel a strong sense of déjà vu, with the Sword Master beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden hedgehog head and this physique... Super Saiyan Gold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann sipped his drink, internally mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard this guy was the commander of the first group, known as the Grand Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaming, exploring alone in the new continent for decades, spending little time at the star base, longer in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His love for adventure and nature, coupled with the capability to be the first group commander, made this attitude unsurprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furry little creature pounced on Lann’s head like a facehugger from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him tilt his head, yet plenty of beer foam still spilled from the mug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celebrate meow! Lann!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Gaffi; Wende seemed to have poured plenty of beer for his feline companion, while the cat sprinkled woodsyum fragments on the beer foam itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dizzy like this wasn’t surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann could only smile, grabbing Gaffi by the scruff to pin it on the nearby wooden stool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange cat’s loose skin thus rhythmically shook, with its face in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wende and Aiden also approached with beer mugs and large skewers of roast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1265,"2026-06-06T10:40:26.341Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b2abcfe045f3605ee8195ae9d3c11d350cc8a67119cfa02a0e70fcdb9538103","bear-school-astartes-chapter-741","bear-school-astartes-chapter-739",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
