Chapter 1255 1227. Estrus
The cylindrical mountain surrounding the Yanwang Dragon is like a big chimney at this time.
Although it isolates a large part of the heat inside, at the same time, this part of the heat accumulates in the cylindrical mountain and rises all the way up.
In the end, this hill, which has nothing special except for its appearance, looks like a crater about to erupt.
In the opening above, a large amount of heat energy heats the air, causing the atmosphere to produce a refractive index change visible to the naked eye.
On the entire mountain pass, the air was heated to the point of blur.
And the columnar rising hot air was also mixed with glowing fiery red scale powder like sparks.
“It’s like the whole mountain is on fire!”
Using the projector hook to hang on the saddle of the pterosaur, Ai Bo was half nervous and excited said in a tone of voice.
With her other hand, she had already removed the small telescope tube from her forehead, covered it in her eye socket, and looked towards the second arena.
"The Flame King Dragon, it's so cool!"
"Let's decide whether it's cool or not." Unlike his partner, the editor, Wen De was already in the thick and ferocious [Mist Nest Lord] armor. This distance makes me feel stuffy.
"The combat environment will be worse than imagined. April, have you seen the people from the transit base who came to contact you?"
In normal times, Wen De and April can talk and laugh at will. .
But once it was time to seriously prepare for battle, Wende's experience and strength made him the leader without question.
After all, hunters' hunting involves risking their lives to fight monsters. There is nothing more serious than this.
Although most hunters are rough-minded and cheerful at the same time, it is normal to talk and laugh during the hunt.
But that kind of relaxation is due to personality, but whether one is serious and cautious during hunting is a matter of attitude.
"I'm looking for it."
Ai Bo adjusted the lens barrel of the telescope on his eyes, and turned around to look around.
Soon, Ai Bo's equally outstanding professionalism allowed her to see her goal.
"Yah! Found it, follow me."
With a small cheer, Aibo immediately controlled the pterosaur and flew in a direction outside the mountain.
Wen De looked down and saw a blue and white electric light, easily following their flying speed in the desert below.
He raised his helmet a little with one hand, exposed his lips, and blew a sharp whistle.
"Whoops~"
Looking at Lan En below, he looked up at him. Wen De knew that the other party had received his message.
So he also controlled the pterosaur and flew behind Ai Bo.
Not long after, they arrived at a hunter camp outside the transit base.
This is the place where Lan En and his team rescued the survivors from the transit base last time.
It was originally supposed to be a small place for hunters to rest and resupply intermittently in the wilderness. At this time, there were about a dozen people and a dozen Elu cats inside, which was quite cramped.
But fortunately, both the survivors and Elcat are a group of optimistic people.
So in such a cramped place, they actually found it quite fun.
"Huh? Do you really want to drive away this Flame King Dragon?"
The current director of this camp is a dragon tribe scholar. The look of giving up.
It was as if he wasn't the one who was almost roasted to death by Yan Wanglong.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Ai Bo said while moving his arm that had been hanging on the pterosaur for a long time. "The gunpowder production capacity of the Star Stronghold and the transportation team of the supplies team have reached their limits."
"And the ecological research on this Yanwangsaurus has also reached a bottleneck period. It would be good for everyone to get rid of it."
Ai Bo patted the other party's shoulder generously.
Although the other party was reluctant to give up the opportunity to observe the ancient dragon at a fixed location at close range, he still understood the importance.
He fully believed that the other people in the investigation team had the same enthusiasm for exploring natural ecology as he did.
But now that the commander-in-chief, the leader of the second phase of the regiment, and the leader of the supplies squad have all agreed to drive away the Yanwang dragon, it can only be because the logistics really cannot support it.
Lan En, who followed them a little later, also entered the camp hidden in the hidden space through the rock cracks.
The sound of his new armor rubbing and colliding with the rock was "kaka la la".
But after he struggled to get in, he patted the loose soil and gravel on the armor, and found that no traces were left on the bone-white armor with the cold and hard texture of metal.
"Eh? You are the hunter who rescued us at that time!"
As soon as Lan En showed his head, the dragon scholar immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude.
"Thank you so much! If you hadn't passed by last time, we would have been roasted to death!"
"It doesn't matter, that's just in time."
< br>Lan En waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"And this operation still needs your support."
The dragon tribe scholar nodded: "This is also what it should be." Because of the transport capacity of the pterosaur, when the hunters went to hunt in the wilderness , in fact, many supplies are replenished and replaced at the nearby camp.
Although the transfer base was almost burned down after being visited by the Yanwang Dragon, a lot of supplies were transported here by subsequent teams.
“We need at least three groups of [cold drinks].”
Wind raised his head and thought at the side. Even in this camp surrounded by rocks with only a small crack as an entrance and exit, he could still see the direction of the second arena through the gap above, and the twisting heat waves rising up.
The temperature inside is probably almost the same as the crater.
"Also, have my equipment been delivered?"
"It's all in the storage box." The dragon tribe scholar said very professionally, "The supplies class has sent it. I’ve got several sets of equipment from you, saying they might be useful. Do you want to change them now?”
It’s still due to transportation issues. The hunter is fully equipped when he leaves the star stronghold, but the hunting process is a long one. A process where accidents happen frequently.
Therefore, before that, the investigation team will, at the hunter's request, send his other commonly used equipment to the camp near the mission location for use.
Hunters are at the forefront of the battle, but support from other departments also works silently behind the hunters.
For example, Wende's current equipment combination is to deal with possible accidents on the road, not against the Flame King Dragon.
“You go change your equipment first, and I’ll get the [cold drink].”
Lan En said to Wind, who also nodded and walked towards the storage box in the camp. .
The demon hunter put three groups of fifteen bottles of [cold drinks] in two armed belts respectively, just waiting to be hung on his body for easy access.
And Wende has also sorted out his equipment.
He has not changed much. The overall armor is still the [Mist Nest Lord Suit], but the [Painful Great Sword], which is also made of Tyrannosaurus material, was left in the camp.
Hung on his back was a pair of double swords, the same pair he had greeted Lan En with at that time outside the arena. They were ice-attributed swords made from the materials of the Wind Drift Dragon.
At this time, Aibo was cooking on the stove in the camp.
They had already spent a lot of time on the road, and the cat meal they had eaten at the Arms and Lynx Pavilion in the morning had long been digested.
I even nibbled a few pieces of food on the way.
Ai Bo, as the editor of the recommendation team, is not only responsible for recording the ecological phenomena encountered by hunters in the wild, but also assisting hunters with logistical work.
Originally, Flannel Ball was a little worried when he saw Ai Bo walking towards the stove, and went over to see if he could help.
After all, Ai Bo is a bit too lively, which makes her feel unreliable when she is about to work.
But surprisingly, she did quite well.
Although it is definitely not as long as the cooking time, it is still a highly efficient sports meal with sufficient calories and filling at your fingertips.
After all, he is an editor who can work with Wen De, and his basic abilities are very good.
Ai Bo made a large pot of stew and put a layer of fragrant cheese on top, which was very hot.
After the two hunters and the two Elu cats had eaten, they took a brief rest, nodded to April and others in the camp, and headed towards the second arena.
There are still rugged mountains and rocks, and there is the sound of wind that goes back and forth between the mountains.
Both Lan En and Wen De can act neatly without having to take care of others.
So it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the transit base established in the valley.
In other words, the ruins of the transit base.
"It's completely burned, meow." Garfield raised the little paws of his hind legs at this time. The pads of the soles of his feet that he stepped on the ground were already covered with black ash.
It and Wende were supposed to come over to deal with the Flame King Dragon on the first day, but before they had gone far, they turned back because of the news that Lan En and Aiden had trapped the Flame King Dragon.
So this was the first time for both of them to come to this burned-down transit base.
“It’s the Flame King Dragon after all.” Wen De said without surprise, “That’s the ancient dragon known as [Scorching Sun].”
Although the opponent is the Flame King Dragon, Jia Neither Fee nor Wind seemed cautious but not nervous.
Presumably when they were in the Old Continent, they were already familiar with contacting and even fighting against ancient dragon-level creatures.
"Come this way." Lan En took a step forward and walked to the leader's position. "We detonated bomb barrels, blew up the arena gate, and there was a fire. You probably won't recognize it."
"I have been studying [Mist Nest Lord] during this period. Lan En said as he led the way, "Do you have any guesses about the reason why this Yanwang Dragon suddenly appeared? It didn't come for gunpowder at first."
As it gets closer and closer to the arena, The air is getting hotter.
It was still muggy at first, but soon, even the moisture in the air seemed extremely thin.
It turned into a violent heat that seemed to be burning at any time.
"The director of the Ecological Research Institute said that it might be because the estrus period has arrived. The ancient dragon will also feel agitated, and then run around and invade its own territory."
Wen De said methodically.
"Animals in estrus are very fierce, and he also told me to be extra careful."
At the same time, they had reached the original gate of the arena.
Just like a few days ago, there is only a gap between the boulder and the ground, connecting the outside world with the inside of the cylindrical mountain.
