Chapter 1271: Split up
The empty boat set sail. There were not many people seeing her off, and Hayata did not go specifically to say goodbye to her daughter.
After communicating a lot with the aunts in the nursery, she became a little superstitious and always felt that this was not very auspicious.
Compared to a year or two ago, when the airship was just pulled out of the warehouse, the investigation team's airship technology has improved a lot, and new airships have also been built.
However, the cost of building a medium or even large airship from scratch is too high. Carrying forward the tradition of thrift, the investigation team's airships are all converted from abandoned ships.
Just like the one they're on now.
It was transformed from an old fast communication ship. It has a long and narrow shape. Without airbags, the length of the boat is less than 30 meters. It is a medium-sized empty boat.
The load-carrying capacity is relatively average, and it is not very popular with the material squad leader because it is not suitable for transporting cargo.
The speed is quite outstanding, not inferior to the pterosaur. If it is a more urgent mission and the distance is far, the commander-in-chief will send this airship to carry the hunter.
Driven by the wind and steam engines, the speed of the airship rising into the high altitude continues to increase.
The forest of ancient trees below was like a dark green sea, quickly passing by.
Cruising at this speed, the airship will cross the ancient tree forest and arrive at the molten mountain canyon the next morning.
Feng Ying hugged the mushroom and lay on the railing of the bow in a daze, her mind empty, letting the wind blow her hair into a mess.
She always liked this.
Mushroom was worried about the safety of his fellow Cat Hunting Team members. He was a little anxious and not very calm. He was squirming in her arms.
Hayata came over and helped pick up the wind-swept hair.
"Sister Hayata, do you think we can go smoothly this time?" Feng Ying suddenly asked.
While combing Feng Ying's hair with her fingers, Hayata asked: "Why, the 'White Wind of the New World' will also have no confidence?"
"Hehe, no. ." Feng Ying grinned, a little silly.
Hayata actually knows that before difficult tasks, this guy always likes to be in a daze and think about life for a while. This has become a habit.
Gordon had been like this before, so it wasn't a bad habit. It was better than being confused after arriving at the hunting ground.
Comb Feng Ying's hair, tie it up with a red hair rope near the ends, and tie it into a hairstyle common in Yanhuo Village.
Then he snatched the mushroom that was about to be strangled by Feng Ying from her arms.
Hayata said: "When you are confused enough, go back to the cabin to eat. Don't do anything else after eating. Go to bed and rest.
After arriving at the hunting ground tomorrow, there will be no more Dedicate time to rest and start the task directly.”
"Oh"
Hayata put the mushroom on the ground and went back to the cabin first.
Feng Ying followed behind muttering, "When Master Gordon is away, Ansiel will become strict, and when both of them are away, Sister Hayata will become strict."
Mushroom, who was held in her arms again, whispered, "When they are gone, you will become strict, meow."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"< br>
"Meow Meow"
After more than ten hours of smooth flight, the airship arrived over the molten mountain canyon and began to slowly lower its altitude.
Feng Ying released a signal flare on the deck to announce their arrival.
Not long after, a signal flare also rose in the mountains in the distance.
Without a doubt, that was the Cathunters' response.
The airship began to turn and headed towards the mountainous area.
Alva compared the surrounding terrain, glanced at the map, and said: "This is about six or seven kilometers away from the straight line of the Great Lava Lake, which is not particularly far.
If possible. , it would be best to lure the Explosive Shatter Dragon within two kilometers of the large lava lake, so that It is most beneficial to subsequent actions.”
Hayata also reminded, “I emphasize that it is a covert inducement, not a war. We are currently unable to confirm the time when the Ice Dragon arrived in the lava canyon. Save your energy as much as possible."
"Understood."
Feng Ying put down the zipline.
The four of them, Maka, Oshula, and Sophia, climbed to the ground one after another and rushed towards the direction where the cat hunting team sent the signal.
The airship took off again and flew to the large lava lake in the core area of the lava canyon.
I don’t dare to fly too close here.
The Violent Broken Dragon is not afraid. No matter how powerful it is as a beast dragon, it cannot pose a threat to an airship more than 100 meters above the ground.
But the Ice Dragon is different.
If the Ice Dragon has arrived in the molten valley in advance, sees the approaching airship, identifies it as a threat, and launches an attack from the air, the situation for everyone on the airship will be very dangerous.
The remaining five people were released about two or three kilometers away from the large lava lake.
Then the airship evacuated, and they would be responsible for delivering the ammunition that the hunters could not carry with them to the camp, and docking there, leaving only a few acid pterosaurs to facilitate the hunters' maneuvers.
With a cautious attitude, Hayata and others walked the last few kilometers and arrived at the huge lava lake covering an area of several square kilometers.
"Damn, it's so hot, how long do we have to wait here?" Ted took off his heavy full-face helmet and asked, wiping his sweat.
“I don’t know. If you’re lucky, the Ice Dragon will arrive in a few minutes. If you’re not lucky, it’s not impossible that he won’t come for a week, or even doesn’t plan to come at all.”
Al Wa took off the glasses he wore every day and put on the multifunctional eyepieces for easy mobility, and replied smoothly.
Aiden handed him a bottle of cold drink and said with a smile: "At least we can wait here. Feng Ying and the others have to sneak around and blast the Broken Dragon."
"It's not just waiting." Hayata tightened the weapon strap, "It's good news that the ice dragon hasn't appeared yet. Let's go around the lake first to get familiar with the terrain nearby.
Ai Bo? "
Staring at the obsidian formed by cooling magma on the ground, Ai Bo was lost in thought. When he heard Hayata calling him, he quickly gathered his thoughts and quickly caught up with his companions.
At the same time, in the mountains a few kilometers away,
the team led by Feng Ying has not yet completed the meeting with the hunting cat team.
The signal flare can only be marked. A general direction.
There is no battle breaking out at the moment, and there is nothing that can guide the direction. It often takes some effort to find each other.
Mushroom was a little anxious and wanted to launch another signal flare to confirm the location of the Cat Hunting Team, but was stopped by Feng Ying.
"It's not necessary. It's a good thing that there is no movement. Be patient and look for it."
"I have a suggestion, maybe we can find them faster." Sophia, who was protected by the hunters in the middle of the team, suddenly said .
Feng Ying turned her head and looked at her, "What?"
"Are there any explosives? Make some explosion noise. When Broken Dragon hears it, he will mistakenly think that there are similar activities nearby. With Darling's character, he will immediately run over to check.
We can find a place nearby. Hidden, since the hunting cats are tracking Darling, and if they find it, they will naturally be able to find the hunting cats."
Feng Ying thinks this method is good. Although she does not have the habit of carrying explosives with her, there are people. Will bring.
Looking left and right, she pointed to a cliff a hundred meters away.
"Babakar, give me a shot over there."
"Kababa!" The little Qimian clan took down a rocket launcher from behind.
When he was in the Old World, Babaka would occasionally use portable artillery. That thing was very powerful, but difficult to carry, so it mostly used melee weapons.
But since coming into contact with the Strange Face Tribe in the New World, it has fallen in love with this kind of rocket launcher. It is light and convenient. When paired with the gunpowder formula used by hunters, it is equally powerful.
Loading the shells and taking aim briefly, Babaka opened fire.
The rocket exploded on the cliff wall, the fire flashed away, and the "rumbling" explosion echoed repeatedly among the mountains.
"Gah!"
In the distance, there was an angry roar. (End of this chapter)
