Chapter 1236 1208. Busy Stars
“Huh? Are you coming to the New World for vacation?”
Aiden listened to their conversation and scratched his head with a grimace.
"Ah~ I'm so envious! It would be great if I could have no job and come to the New World for a pure vacation!"
"Don't be greedy!" Gray slapped his partner hunter shoulder, and said with a smile, "You are lucky to be selected to come to the New World. How many people want to come and experience the ecology of the New World but never have the chance."
"Woohoo! I'm back, meow!"
On the back of the unicorn that had just stopped, the flannel ball jumped down with cheers, like a joyful three-color fur ball.
It couldn't wait to get on all fours and rush towards the star stronghold.
“Boss, I’m going to find the honeydew and cotton first, meow!”
Long cloth ball is also missing the members of the thief adventure group he once formed after not seeing each other for a long time. Although they have lost the courage to take risks in the last incident, the relationship between friends has not been affected.
Lan En waved his hand to it, indicating that it could relax as it pleased.
Then several humans walked together and entered the star stronghold.
I still don’t know what kind of monster’s ribs or teeth were used, but they were several arches built with huge curved bones.
At this time, a refreshing evening breeze was blowing from the sea, and torches or cold-light lamps containing glowing insects such as fireflies were gradually lit in the stronghold.
But after a few people came in, they discovered that the Xingchen Stronghold seemed to be very busy at this time.
It stands to reason that except for the hunters who have to carry out night missions, everyone should be finishing up the day's work at this time. Why do you feel so anxious?
Hunters wearing all kinds of armor and equipment were running around amidst the clanging sounds of armor parts.
The Ellu cats put a large amount of supplies in packages and held them on their heads, meowing and transporting them around. From time to time, they almost bumped into each other and were startled.
The squad leader of the supplies class, who is also the leader of the fourth group, the brown-skinned beauty with Latina appearance, is standing on the boxes of supplies, holding a list of ledgers in one hand, and reaching out to Commands were shouted all around.
Aiden had already put on his equipment before boarding the Pterosaur. At this time, he took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, and walked under the pile of supplies piled up like a hill.
He raised his head and shouted upwards.
"What's going on, squad leader? Are you busy at night? Where is the commander-in-chief? We have something important to tell him!"
We can't do it without shouting, now at the Star Stronghold It was noisy and no one was prepared for emergencies, so of course it would be chaotic.
Even the material squad leader who was responsible for the command had to shout at the top of his lungs.
The squad leader of the supplies team, who was already overwhelmed by the complicated and sudden affairs, put down the list in his hand and looked down, still smiling with a hint of exhaustion and excitement.
"Oh, it's Aiden, you're just in time!"
"Put on fireproof equipment immediately, and at least one set of [cold drinks]. Something happened at the transit base in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland! A man suddenly appeared there Yanwanglong. We have to go and rescue people immediately!"
"If the people in the base have died unfortunately," she pursed her lips, but then her eyes became firm, "Then we must too! Take this opportunity to defeat Yanwangsaurus and investigate the ecological abnormalities of Yanwangsaurus."
An ancient dragon can actually be dealt with by the overall strength of the New World Investigation Team.
But that's just theory.
Theoretically, as the first phase of the group with all the top elites, together they have the ability to reliably repel most types of ancient dragons.
But the problem is that they can’t get together at all.
We are all top experts in various fields. When we come to the New World as a group, we all have things to do in our own areas of expertise.
That’s why the first group, after laying down the framework of a survey group, basically went deep into the hinterland of the New World, but no one could be found.
As a result, the investigation team was unable to handle monsters such as the Fire Dragon stably before the arrival of the fifth phase of the team.
So for the investigation team, the sudden appearance of Yanwanglong in the transit base is really a crisis that cannot be underestimated.
Of course, as long as the hunter is still there, Yanwanglong can be beaten back after all. He is the ace among the guild's aces.
But the people in the transit base said
“Oh, this is what we are talking about!”
Aiden looked up at the supplies squad leader under the piles of boxes He laughed cheerfully and said: "We trapped the Flame King Dragon in the second arena! Both the human and El Cat are fine!"
"."
The squad leader of the supplies squad who was yelling and giving orders suddenly became quiet. She was a little confused and smoothed her thick long hair that was gathered on one shoulder for convenience.
Aiden thought the other party was too noisy and didn't hear clearly, so he simply took two steps forward, climbed a little higher on the box, and said to her again.
"You said you 'trapped' the Flame King Dragon?! An ancient dragon?!"
Immediately afterwards, Aiden was pulled by the collar of his armor by the supplies squad leader who leaned over , staring at him with shaking eyes.
The news was so exciting, and the monitor of the supplies squad was so shocked that his voice became loud.
So around the pile of boxes where she was standing, all the members of the investigation team who heard the exclamation stopped their busy movements and looked here blankly.
Lan En and the others, who had been outside the scope of attention just now due to the chaos and less than ideal lighting, were also highlighted due to the sudden silence.
The two Elu cats carrying large packages on their heads apparently did not notice the scene because of the large packages on their heads. The two of them bumped into each other, the big package colliding first. In order to prevent the contents from spilling out, the two Ellu cats moved hurriedly to stabilize their center of gravity. Finally, they stabilized the package, but they fell.
"Meow!"*2
Two cats fell right next to Lan En, attracting everyone's attention.
"Lan En?" The squad leader of the supplies squad was still a little stunned and raised his hand, pointing to the tall figure not far from the pile of boxes, "You're back too?. What's going on? Are you guys working together to save Yan?" Wang Long is trapped?”
“Really ‘trapped’?”
Lan En waved to the supplies squad leader on the pile of boxes.
"That's true, so we have to see the Commander-in-Chief immediately."
——
The Commander-in-Chief is actually not far away. He is still in the Star Stronghold. The bow of the ship was dismantled ashore and transformed into a conference venue.
The commander-in-chief, whose hair and beard were all white but upright, with dark skin and still looked as strong as ever, was still holding the conference table with both hands when he saw Lan En walking over.
Displays a reassuring calmness.
"I thought it might take a long time before you have a chance to come back."
Compared to Aiden and the supplies squad leader, the commander-in-chief showed a calm acceptance of Lan En's arrival again.
As he spoke, his sharp hawk-like eyes looked at Aiden who was coming with him again, and glanced at the equipment on his body.
"Aiden, I remember that he took a mission about the Mud Ichthyosaurus before? Well, he is indeed wearing waterproof equipment."
"You guys walked together from the Great Ant Mound Wasteland. Come back. It seems like there’s nothing going on there?”
He spoke in a question, but a slightly relaxed smile appeared on the commander-in-chief's lips.
“You are really as sharp as ever.”
Lan smiled and walked onto the bow of the boat used for meetings with Aiden.
In order to deal with the sudden appearance of Yanwang Dragon in the transit base, the scale of this meeting was the same as that of the previous meeting with Laoshan Dragon.
Representatives from various departments including the Institute of Ecology, the Institute of Botany, and the Workshop District came.
The swordsman wearing a female fire dragon suit sat on the edge and listened as usual.
Lan En was able to easily turn around and say hello, taking care of everyone.
Although everyone was surprised by Lan En's appearance, they still responded with welcome and sincere greetings.
"Okay, the welcome party can be held later." As soon as the commander-in-chief spoke, his calm tone set the tone.
The white-skinned old man with dark skin looked at Lan En and Aiden with burning eyes.
"First report on the situation of Yanwanglong."
"Of course." Lan En responded, and at the same time he and Aiden walked to the center of the meeting crowd. At this time, the construction drawings of the transfer base were placed on the conference table.
It seems that the combat arrangement just now was made on this drawing.
Simply, Lan En pointed to the second arena on the drawing and explained their plan and implementation process to everyone present.
“Use the arena I built to trap the ancient dragon?”
The chief officer of the workshop area and the leader of the second phase of the regiment touched his steel-brush-like beard, his face blackened by the fire showed pride, but his mouth was still hard.
"What a pity, that is a very good venue!"
Everyone in the investigation team knows each other well, and they are no longer surprised by his harsh words.
The land where the ancient dragon once resided. In some remote areas of the old continent, this is enough to build a shrine and a shrine.
The director of the Institute of Ecology, the old man from the Douding'er Dragon tribe, is very concerned about Yanwanglong's love of gunpowder.
He planned to personally lead the team to the transit base to study it.
After hearing the detailed description, the commander-in-chief had the simplest reaction.
"It's a blessing that nothing happened to Man and Elle Cat."
As the commander-in-chief, he believed that he was responsible for everyone in the New World Investigation Team.
After confirming that the situation was no longer so urgent, as the order was issued, the originally busy Star Stronghold began to stop in an orderly manner.
Only a small number of people were left behind, and they still had to rush all night to take care of the wounded and Elu cats who could only stay in the wild camp without any combatants around them.
Seeing that the atmosphere was visibly relaxing, the Commander-in-Chief crossed his arms and looked at Lan En across the conference table with a smile.
At the same time, those sharp eyes also glanced at Tissaya and Berengar, who were standing under the bow of the meeting ship. No matter their dress or temperament, they obviously did not match the investigation team.
"You brought new friends here that you haven't met before. It seems like there is something going on, right?"
"I can't hide it from your sophisticated eyes." Lan En laughed first. He nodded, and then his expression became solemn.
"Yes, there is an ecological invasion and mutation incident, and we need to deal with it together."
