If it weren't for the considerable默契 that Wenlong and Catherine had already formed from their previous hunt, this operation would probably not have been so perfect.
At the moment the golden butterfly exploded, Catherine's great sword effectively blocked the heat wave and flames produced by the explosion, while Wenlong, standing behind her, promptly dragged the woman with glasses to a safe position. After the explosion, Wenlong and Catherine were unharmed, and Lindis only suffered a slight injury from falling, which was not a major problem.
Then, looking at the golden butterfly in front of them, it had already vanished without a trace due to the explosion.
"Hey, glasses, are you okay? Meow?"
Looking at the woman with glasses who was still lying on the ground, somewhat panicked, Wenlong asked.
"I... I'm fine..." The woman with glasses, while gasping for breath and struggling to stand up, reached out to touch her shoulder bag. Seeing that the items inside were still there, her face relaxed a bit.
"Fortunately, the notebook recording this research and that thing are still here..."
Then, the woman with glasses said to Wenlong and Catherine, "My name is Lindis. I am a bachelor who graduated from the Royal Academy, specializing in the study of monsters recorded in ancient texts. I want to tell you that there is a very powerful and mysterious monster ahead... Someone has already been injured, and I hope you can quickly contact the Hunter's Guild for rescue!"
"Someone was injured?" Wenlong was taken aback, then asked, "Was it a guy named Claude? Meow?"
"Exactly, how did you know?" Lindis was somewhat surprised.
"Because we are also hunters here to investigate! Of course, this great lord is much stronger than that guy, meow!" Wenlong explained.
"Is that so? That's great," Lindis said happily, "Then please contact the Hunter's Guild. If you don't have the contact information, you can use this..."
After saying that, Lindis took out a long cylindrical object from her bag. Wenlong took it, looked at it, and then handed it to Catherine.
"Indeed, you brought a good thing. The treatment for high-level hunters is really different," Wenlong said enviously as he looked at the cylinder, "This is a means to summon guild support at any time... So, Catherine, light this flare... meow."
"Flare?" Catherine, who had taken the cylinder, was a bit confused.
"Haven't you ever played with fireworks? Stupid woman!" Wenlong scolded.
"Oh, okay, Mr. Cat."
So, Catherine placed the long cylindrical object vertically on the ground. Then, using a flint, she lit the fuse at the bottom of the cylinder. Instantly, a red flare shot into the sky with a long trail, then slowly descended, attracting much attention.
While Catherine was lighting the flare, Wenlong took a few steps forward and picked up a thin, golden wing from the ground.
That was precisely the part that Wenlong had cut off with his dual blades. Because it was cut by the blades, it did not disappear instantly with the explosion but remained temporarily.
However, as soon as Wenlong touched it with his hand, the thin wing immediately crumbled like it was weathered, turning into powder and disappearing completely.
"Indeed, the Star Feather Butterfly disappears upon death... meow."
Wenlong muttered to himself.
"If there were any uncertainties before, now I can say with certainty... This time's opponent should be the 'Star Dragon,' meow!"
Hearing Wenlong accurately name the mysterious monster, Lindis was taken aback and widened her eyes.
"Star Dragon? Is it really the legendary Star Dragon, known as the 'Princess of the Netherworld' and the 'Dragon Favored by the Stars'? And what about that golden butterfly? Is it really related to the Star Dragon?"
Lindis's knowledge of the Star Dragon was only from books, which mostly contained textual records.
So, although Lindis had speculated that it might be the Star Dragon based on some scattered information, she had never seen what the Star Dragon actually looked like. As for whether the golden butterfly was directly related to the Star Dragon, Lindis naturally had no idea.
Therefore, when Lindis heard Wenlong confirm that the mysterious monster was the Star Dragon based on just a thin wing of the butterfly, she was shocked.
"Of course, compared to you people who just study materials in the library, this great lord often deals with such monsters, meow." Wenlong said.
"Oftentimes? You mean... You often encounter monsters that only appear in ancient texts?" The shock on Lindis's face suddenly turned into admiration, "Then, Mr. Eiru Cat, I have studied the Star Dragon for many years. Please tell me everything you know about..."
Halfway through, Lindis suddenly realized that this was not the time for academic research and changed her words, "Mr. Eiru Cat, after this mission is completed, please tell me everything you know about the Star Dragon!"
"Consulting services come at a price, meow." Seeing the flare had already risen, Wenlong slightly fobbed her off and threw a Recovery Potion G to Lindis, who had multiple abrasions, "This is a Recovery Potion G. Drink it and wait for the Hunter's Guild's rescue, meow."
Then, Wenlong turned to Catherine and said, "Let's go. We need to complete this investigation mission and save that guy named Claude. Otherwise, if that guy dies, our bet money will be completely lost, meow!"
"Okay, Mr. Cat." Catherine nodded and immediately followed Wenlong's steps.
Thus, Wenlong and Catherine proceeded in the direction indicated by Lindis. Along the way, they encountered the same golden "Star Feather Butterfly" multiple times. However, because Wenlong and Catherine had explained the characteristics of the Star Feather Butterfly, even though the frequency of encountering the butterflies increased, they still handled it with ease.
Finally, Wenlong and Catherine reached their destination.
It was an open area, and Wenlong and Catherine could vaguely see someone lying motionless on the ground in the distance, either unconscious or dead. Not far from that person, a large dragon was approaching the one lying on the ground.
"It's definitely the Star Dragon... Almost no different from the game..." Wenlong confirmed in his heart.
The Star Dragon in the distance had some characteristics of the flying dragon species, but compared to ordinary flying dragons, it had a longer tail and shorter wings. Its body was covered in red scales, and two long horns extended backward from the back of its head. More peculiarly, a magma-like, scorching energy was constantly flowing in the chest area of the Star Dragon, seemingly showcasing the unique qualities of this creature.
