Chapter 797: Elu Group in the Wild
Even during the retreat, Gordon Hayata was still very cautious.
They try their best to choose routes that are covered in canyons, forest belts, etc., and are not easily discovered from the air. Whenever they encounter streams and rivers, they will wade into the water and walk along the river for a while, using the river to eliminate odors and whereabouts.
Although the probability of Purple Poison Queen coming after her is low, Gordon and the others were deeply impressed by the pursuit and entanglement of the Black Flame King in the past few days, and they did not dare to let down their guard at all.
“So, don’t we just withdraw from the hunting grounds?”
A few kilometers away from the previous fighting position, Hayata suddenly asked: "There is a small airship on standby at the camp, um, it's at the burned camp.
If we go there, we should be able to go smoothly. Leave."
Gordon was silent for several seconds before replying: "According to my original idea, when I have the opportunity to retreat, I can just retreat, but now, I am a little unsure."
Hayata looked at Gordon, waiting for his next explanation.
Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, "Originally, I thought it would be best not to offend the Black Flame King and the others to death, but in a fierce battle, this kind of thing cannot be considered.
The Black Flame King has completely hated us. If we encounter it in the future, a battle will almost certainly break out. Its hatred is likely to spread to other humans.
The nearby commercial roads and human settlements may be seriously threatened. "
Hayata understood what Gordon meant, and looked a little embarrassed.
This is actually the same as not offending the ancient dragon species casually. They have high-level intelligence, so " The emotion of "hatred" can last for a very long time.
The strength of the two fire dragons combined is not inferior to that of many ancient dragon species, but they are not able to cause "natural disaster" level disasters like the ancient dragon species.
But the Black Flame King's ultra-high temperature dragon flames, red lotus fireballs, and Purple Poison Queen's poisonous spines and poisonous mist may be a bit difficult to destroy a city. After all, there are city defense facilities.
But it is absolutely very easy to destroy a village or a town.
It is difficult for ordinary hunters in the village to even deal with it and buy time.
"So, do you have any plans or ideas now?" Hayata asked.
Gordon slowed down and looked around. After confirming that the surrounding area was still safe, he took out the map and unfolded it.
"Step by step, the most important thing now is rest. Pork Chop used an excessive amount of anesthesia bombs. Even if the Black Flame King has an extraordinary physique, it will take at least thirty to forty hours before he can wake up.
Before the Black Flame King awakens, it is unlikely that he and the Purple Poison Lady will leave the area where they fought before, which is the fourth area. There is no need to worry in the short term.
The camp has been destroyed, no. Goodbye Quan, it's not appropriate to go back there. My idea is to go to the mountainous area to the east. The terrain there is complicated and it's easier to find a relatively safe temporary camp.
Well, District 8 is a narrow valley. I saw that there are some. Maru Bird lives there, so there should be less frequent dangerous monsters, and the food source can be guaranteed. We can go there and have a look."
Hayata nodded and expressed no objection.
"We have at least one day and night to rest and prepare. During this process, we can try to collect some plants such as detoxification grass. They are not common in the surrounding area, but there should be some.
Once the preparations are complete, we can So I can try to challenge the Purple Poison Princess again."
When hearing this, Hayata raised objections, "It's too dangerous. The toxins of the Purple Poison Princess are extraordinary, and ordinary antidotes may not be able to completely remove the toxins. ."
Gordon couldn't refute this.
He had been poisoned once before and knew how powerful the purple venom was, otherwise he would not have used the precious Kampo medicine in the first place.
"Actually, there is another way." Hayata thought for a few seconds. "While I rushed to the ruins plain in a small airship, Mr. Isa and the porter also rushed back to Bernard Village to continue asking for help.
Calculate the time, if everything goes well, Ryūliyuan's support will arrive in two to three days. If the reinforcements are on high-speed airships, it may be faster."
"Two to arrive. Three days, that is, there is still a time difference of about one day." Gordon pondered.
“Gordon still has anesthesia bullets?” Pig Chop suddenly said, “When the anesthesia effect begins to fade, I can try to sneak in and replenish a few more.”
Gordon's eyes lit up, and he took out a few capture tranquilizer bombs from his bag and handed them to Pork Chop.
"This is a good idea. We don't have to directly conflict with the Purple Poison Lady. We can find a way to lure it away from the Black Flame King, giving Pig Chop a chance to replenish the tranquilizer bomb.
Then we will retreat immediately, There is a high probability that Purple Poison Princess will not pursue for a long time, so we can wait until support arrives.
After that, the Lord. The power is in our hands."
"This is a good idea!" Hayata also nodded repeatedly, "We can plan the retreat route in advance, and the method of attracting the Purple Poison Princess does not require approaching in person. Throwing a dye ball or a flash bomb from a distance should also work."
The tactics were gradually improved.
The hunters continued to move forward, but their pace became brisk.
They walked out of the red maple terraces with high and low terrain, and then passed through a real plain. The narrow valley mentioned by Gordon was right in front of them.
There is a stream in the valley, and there is a clear pond in the low-lying area. The timid Marua birds gather in twos and threes beside the river, pecking at the snails in the stream and the earthworms in the soil, while constantly raising their heads. , alert to the surrounding movements.
Gordon glanced around a few times and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, I was in a hurry to avoid the Black Flame King's pursuit, but now it seems that this is indeed a good temporary camp.
Let’s look for any cracks or depressions under the cliff that are big enough to fit in. It would be even better if we could find a small cave. ”
"The marutori that I went to meow is here!" Xianglan ran and jumped towards the marutori by the stream.
The chicken is flying and the cat is dancing, and there are feathers all over the place.
After eating dry food for several days, it had another fierce fight not long ago. It was hungry and greedy.
“.Meow?”
Observing the surrounding environment, Pig Chop suddenly made some discoveries. He took a few steps to a large rock under the cliff and carefully confirmed something.
"What did you find?" Gordon and Hayata followed.
Zhupa pointed at an inconspicuous cat paw print on the stone, "There is a mark, meow. There should be a wild Elu tribe living near here, meow."
"How do you see this? Out?" Hayata asked curiously.
Zhupa, who was once a member of the Elu tribe in the wild, explained: "Elu doesn't use stones to sharpen his claws. This is not a real paw print, but a mark made with a sharp weapon.
Looking at the direction of the paw prints, the cat is marked in that direction. It should be a more enthusiastic group of cats. We can go and see the cats.”
"You can tell whether you're hot or not?!" Gordon was a little surprised.
“Exclusive groups, such as many Melalu’s groups, will not leave conspicuous marks on their cats. This kind of mark is not for the Elu in the group to see, but should be for wandering cats passing by. Look, they are welcome to be guests, Meow.
If we can find them, the location of the safe rest area, detoxifying grass and more materials will not be a problem."
Maybe it’s memories! Thinking of the time he had lived in the wild, Pork Chop seemed a little excited.
Gordon and the others would naturally not object. When the two of them and the cat were about to follow the signs to search, suddenly several wild Ellu jumped out of nowhere.
Holding a cat hammer shaped like a cat's claw, he chased Pandan around the stream to catch the birds.
“Meow the thief!”
“Hit the thief, Meow!”
“I am not the thief, meow!” Xianglan screamed while hiding.
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other, then looked at the pork chop together.
Pork Chop's expression was a little stiff, "Those Maru Birds are probably domesticated cats" (End of Chapter)
