Chapter 558: The superior hunter may not be right either
The hot air balloon of the Gulong Observation Bureau floated at the lower edge of the clouds.
Although this kind of balloon is not as fast as an ordinary airship, it is more stable and can float in the air for a longer time. Just like this one, it has been watching here for several days.
In the boat-shaped gondola, a scholar from the Dragon Tribe held up a long telescope and looked at the north.
“Huh?”
In the distance, many tiny black spots vaguely appeared on the horizon.
It's like a handful of stains are sprinkled into the pure blue sky.
The Draconian scholar looked solemn. He turned the telescope and adjusted the focus. The image of the black spots became clearer below them.
The dark red giant shadow slowly emerged.
It is like a moving mountain, moving forward slowly but unstoppably.
"Send a signal flare!" The Draconian scholar put down his telescope and shouted to the assistant who was sorting out the information: "It's coming! It's heading due north and has already passed the landmark peak!"
The assistant raised his head, confused. For a moment, he came back to his senses, hurriedly took out a signal bomb from the bag, pulled the fuse, and shot it into the air.
After waiting for a minute, he fired another one, and then fired three or four more in succession until the signal flares also lit up in the sky far to the south, and then he stopped firing.
The early warning signal was sent out.
The long sound of the horn flute sounded in the fortress, and everyone's expressions changed.
Whether it is the craftsmen debugging equipment on the city wall or the hunters carrying shells and crossbows in the battle street, the movements of their hands have sped up a bit.
This is a signal that Lao Shanlong is coming.
From now on, in about twenty-four hours, Laoshanlong will enter the visual range of the observation balloon above Jiuzhaigou, and the first phase of the defensive operation is about to break out.
The pork chop who was preparing high-density dragon-killing carbon shook his beard, and two drops of the refined fire dragon bone marrow in his claws were sprinkled on the table. Amidst the pungent smell, the solid wooden table was scorched. Blockbusters.
Evelin, who was helping on the side, comforted: "Don't worry, there is still plenty of time."
The sweaty pork chop on the nose is dotting the little head.
It stabilizes emotions. It mixes several kinds of curing agents in appropriate proportions into the golden-red viscous colloid like magma, and solidifies it into wax, completing this blend.
This is a formula improved by master craftsmen and scholars.
While not weakening the power of Dragon Slayer Carbon, its stability has been greatly improved. You no longer have to worry as before about accidentally exploding if you shake it with a little force. It has the possibility of being used in actual combat.
The prefix "experimental type" of high-density dragon-killing carbon can finally be removed.
With the cooperation of Evelin and several alchemy scholars, the high-density dragon-killing carbon that had just been mixed was put into a package made of hard leather.
Then use rivets and straps to fix it on a solid steel spike as long as an arm.
Xia Zuo walked into this temporary alchemy workshop, glanced at the explosives neatly stacked on the workbench and in the corner, and asked: "How are the preparations going?"
"Completed, meow! Nineteen copies of high-density dragon-killing carbon materials provided by the guild, They have all been mixed into explosive bombs, meow!”
Evelin added on the side: “Eight sets of blasting spikes used to attack the legs of Laoshan Dragon, and six explosive bombs for the dragon, and the above. We have increased the dosage of Dragon Killing Fruit, which will be more effective against Laoshan Dragon
The remaining gunpowder rocks and fire dragon marrow were used by us to enhance the power of the explosive barrels. These explosive barrels will be used to deal with the velociraptor group. "
"Hmm. "
Xia Zuo clicked his chin, "I brought some people over. Let's move these bomb barrels for dealing with small monsters to the predetermined location first. "
A Jin poked his head in with a smile, followed by about twenty male and female hunters with inconspicuous equipment, but who looked very experienced, "Leave the hard work to us! ”
In the past few days, Ajin and these low-star hunters from all over the Xiuret area have played a role beyond Xia Zuo and others’ expectations.
What they can do is not just physical work.
Hunting is indeed an industry that requires talent. Most hunters will never be able to hunt flying dragons alone in their entire lives.
These two-star and three-star hunters are the main body of the hunter group.
Novice hunters and low-star hunters are two completely different concepts.
These hunters may not be able to compare with high-level hunters in terms of martial arts and equipment, but their experience in dealing with various small monsters is unmatched by high-level hunters.
Take the sledgehammer Ajin for example. In the more than ten years since he became a hunter, he has never hunted a flying dragon, and there are very few hunting records of large monsters.
But the combined number of blue velociraptors and giant wild boars can easily exceed four digits
What are the habits of blue velociraptors, what are their eating habits, and what creatures' blood smell is suitable for them? They are most attractive and so on, it is clear.
According to him, a group of blue velociraptors ran over, and he could tell with his eyes closed which direction they would attack from, how many groups they would attack, and whether they would move their claws or their mouths first.
The three-headed Pterosaurus can make him panic, but if it were replaced by a blue velociraptor, he wouldn't be afraid of ten.
Similar to Ah Jin, these low-star hunters have more or less inexplicable experience skills.
Evelyn Porkchop and the others listened to a lot of their opinions when it came to arranging baits and bombs.
Use bait to gather the velociraptor group, and then throw bomb barrels from high places. The plan of concentrated bombing has long been revised.
These low-level hunters, who have spent half their lives dealing with small monsters, all agree that the strategy of gathering a large group of velociraptors together and then killing them with powerful explosive bombs is too natural.
With the habits of velociraptors, it is impossible for such large-scale crowding to occur, no matter how many baits are arranged.
Evelin was very embarrassed at the time.
The person who proposed using explosive bombs to reduce the number of small monsters was the legendary hunter Master Campbell, and the perfecters of the strategy were himself and Pork Chop, who were high-ranking hunters.
However, after carefully listening to the explanations from Ajin and others, she realized that these humble low-star hunters were right.
So, she put aside her meaningless pride and put herself in the position of a helper.
When it comes to dealing with small monsters alone, these people are experts.
“Let’s go together, too.” Evelin took off the burqa she wore during reconciliation and put on her armor.
Pork Chop also wore his cat-armored helmet.
“It’s okay, don’t rush yet.”
Seeing that Evelin and the others were about to join in, Akin smiled and waved his hands and said: “The large force of the Velociraptor group has not arrived yet, but the first The 'scouts' are expected to appear soon.
There are two of them. Using large barrels of explosive bombs is too wasteful. Use knives to deal with them first.
We plan to move the bomb barrels to a location and hide them first, and then use them at a critical moment.
Go and have a good sleep first to refresh yourself. We will have to rely on you for the tough battles ahead. Just leave those small monsters to us. "
Evelin and Pig Pork looked at each other.
Looking at the dark circles under each other's eyes, they reluctantly accepted Ajin's proposal, "Then leave it to you, the pioneers. Team. "
"Vanguard? We like this statement. ”
Ah Jin turned to look at his companions behind him and chuckled, "Poor guys, be careful when holding explosive bombs and releasing explosive bombs. These things are all filled with ingredients.
That Lao Shanlong is said to be sixty or seventy meters long. People like us can't It's not even enough for it to swallow, but it's a velociraptor, hey hey.
The leather armor I'm wearing is almost worn out, and I'm just about to get a new one. Where are you guys? "(This chapter? End)
