Chapter 431: So vindictive?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The terrain of the Lingfeng Mountains is rugged and uneven. Even experienced hunters have to slow down a little when walking at night in such a climate.
Alva behaved even worse.
Fortunately, he was not fully armed like the hunters, and the only "weight" was the professor behind him, but even so, he still slipped several times, leaving him and the professor covered in mud and water.
Gordon, who was walking at the front of the team to open the way, stretched out his fist and made a gesture. Everyone slowed down and rested briefly against a stone wall.
"We are getting further and further away from the ruins." During the wind and rain, Gordon had to raise his voice slightly, "Looking at the rain, the Lanlong is probably very active. It may appear at any time, so everyone should be vigilant.< br>
We are about to leave the stone forest area with dense stone cliffs. There is no shelter. It’s easy for Lanlong to spot us from the air. We must pass as soon as possible.
Hayata, it’s your turn to open the way. After I break up, Anhil will help Alva and the others. Alva, just drink. Take the medicine and start running!”
“Understood!”
"Got it."
Everyone quickly changed their positions, and Alva also drank the forcible drug.
"Pork chop! Pandan! Always pay attention to the sky, let's start sprinting and pass through the open area as quickly as possible!"
Hayata adjusted his equipment, took a breath and started Run faster.
Opening a road in this mountainous area where the vegetation is not lush but the terrain is very complicated is different from that in a dense forest.
Although there is no need to spend a lot of physical energy to clear the branches and vines, the path opener needs to concentrate on finding a relatively convenient route for the team to walk.
Especially in the current situation where it is necessary to speed up as much as possible, the physical and energy losses of the path opener will be very large.
The reason why Gordon transferred this burden to Hayata is, on the one hand, because the latter is more flexible and faster than him.
On the other hand, I also hope to preserve a little more physical strength to deal with possible battles.
In the wind and rain, the team of hunters ran wildly.
The heavy rain enveloped everything like a curtain, and visibility was very low. Gordon kept looking back and looking at the sky behind him.
Nothing could be seen except the blurry dark sky and the huge cyclone that almost covered most of the sky.
"This is a good thing." Gordon kept telling himself, "No discovery is the best situation."
"Meow——!"
Ge The pork chop standing next to him suddenly screamed, "Here he comes, meow! Meow at seven o'clock!"
Gordon's heart beat twice. He quickly looked back and saw a blurry white shadow tumbling through the extremely low black rain clouds.
"Hidden!" Gordon reminded the team loudly.
“Hidden!” Anhir, who was in the middle of the team, repeated Gordon’s instructions so that Hayata, who was running quickly at the front of the team, would not hear it due to the influence of the wind.
Everyone immediately stopped and spread out.
From the air, moving targets are very easy to spot, while stationary targets are relatively easy to ignore.
There was no shelter around, so everyone could only rely on their own camouflage, lying down to hide.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared before the trip. Gordon and Hayata had canvas-modified camouflage cloaks on them, and Ancil's Velociraptor armor had the effect of a night-walker.
The Elu burrowed into the ground, and the clothes on Alva and the professor were also camouflaged with mud, charcoal ash, and plant branches and leaves, so as not to be directly exposed.
Everyone held their breath and remained motionless.
No one knows whether the camouflage alone can deceive Lanlong in an open area without the cover of trees.
All you can do at this time is pray.
“Woo——.”
Qingyue’s cry sounded above the heads of the hunters.
Gordon felt slightly relaxed. The sound was still far away. Lanlong should still be churning at the height of the clouds and had not lowered its altitude, so the probability that they had been discovered was not high.
Hope it can just fly by
In a small hole not far from Gordon, Pork Chop was looking up at the sky.
“It rose, meow.” Pig Chop reported the situation in a low voice, “It disappeared into the clouds, meow.”
Gordon continued to lie there like a stone, “Don’t move in a hurry , continue to wait, wait for it to fly away.”
"It appears again, meow! It starts to dive, meow!" Pig Chop's voice suddenly became sharp, "It seems to have found us, meow!"
The wind howls and chirping sounds above our heads are getting closer and closer. , Gordon couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Is Lan Long's vision really that sharp? At a high altitude close to the clouds, and on such a dim rainy night, can they be found in camouflage?
“Woo——!”
“It’s preparing to breathe, meow!” Pig Chop screamed.
"Avoid!" Gordon roared, jumping up and rolling sideways.
It is difficult to determine where Lan Long's condescending breath will land. How to avoid it at this time, and whether it can be avoided, we can only leave it to fate.
The silvery white torrent swept past where Gordon had just laid down.
The ground exploded instantly. The hard granite was as fragile as mud in front of this breath, and a deep trench several meters deep was instantly plowed.
The flying rocks hurt Gordon even through his armor. If they hit him directly on his body, he might even break his bones.
Gordon stood up in shock, looked at the deep ditch, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
I am not surprised by the power of Lan Long's breath, but I am surprised by the angle at which the breath strikes.
He originally thought that the breath would sweep through the group of them, and he was worried that one of his companions would be hit.
As a result, the initial landing point of the breath was where he was lying down, and then it extended tens of meters toward the back of the team, where there was no one around.
It doesn’t seem to care about the other people in the team at all. The only target it attacks is itself?
Gordon couldn't help but raise his head and look at the mysterious and beautiful huge white shadow flying in the air in front of him.
The pair of pupils shining with silvery white light were locked tightly on him, just like the time they looked at each other on the airship a few years ago.
Is this guy still brooding on his provocation, "One day I will challenge you"?
Isn’t that the case? !
The mist dragon hovering in the air raised its neck slightly, and the light of its breath gathered in its mouth again.
Gordon suddenly turned around and ran in the direction he came from. At the same time, he turned back and yelled: "Hayata! Anhir! You continue to evacuate!
Its target It’s me! I’ll use the ruins to get rid of it.”
"Meow!"
Pigpa jumped out of the hole and threw a flash bomb at Lanlong who was about to spit out his breath.
In fact, it didn't expect this flash bomb to work at all, it just hoped to attract Lanlong's attention.
What no one expected was that the bright light of the flash bomb actually interrupted Lanlong's breath, but it did not fall because of it, but let out a long and angry howl.
The white spiny fins were stained with a dark cloud-like color, purple-red spots appeared on its body, and the mist dragon quickly circled and danced.
"唳——!"
Following its movements, a tornado storm was rapidly taking shape with it as the center.
"Angry, I see. Is the color change really due to emotion?" The professor lying behind Alva muttered to himself inappropriately, "It will be affected by flash bombs. This is important information. It can Can it really be explained by 'steam' that caused the storm so quickly?"
"Senior Gordon!"
"Gordon!"
Hayata and Anshil subconsciously wanted to catch up, but were blocked by the tornado caused by Lanlong. (End of this chapter)
