Chapter 898: Shadow
Du Dian made up his mind that if the situation was wrong, he would retreat immediately. Although the extreme ice worms were precious and the opportunity was rare, they would not be afraid of running out of firewood if they stayed in the green hills.
At this time, Holaini had already organized the first batch of cannon fodder teams, led by two masters, and entered the ice and snow forest first.
"How far is it from this forest to the ice lake?" Du Dian asked Hollini.
Looking at the forest in front of him, Holaini said with a solemn expression, "If you walk in a straight line, it's not far, less than eighty miles. If you encounter some difficult things and need to detour, it will be very troublesome."
For Du Dian and others, eighty miles is not much different from the eight hundred meters in the eyes of ordinary people, but if there are poisonous snakes and dogs on the way of these eight hundred meters, most of them will not think that this road is very short.
Buckle said in a deep voice: "Try not to detour as much as possible. Detours in this forest are too dangerous. It is best to go through as soon as possible."
Hollini nodded, "I know."
"Can't we burn this forest with a fire?" Du Dian asked.
The three of them were stunned, and looked at Du Dian with weird eyes. How violent could this be?
"Fire is impossible to burn." Hollini slandered in his heart, and explained to Du Dian: "Although fire is the bane of all things, the temperature in this forest is low, and there are many monsters with ice physiques inhabiting it. If it is extinguished, it is almost impossible to ignite the entire forest, unless we bring a lot of tarpaulins, and even if the forest is burned, the monsters inside will rush out, which will be more dangerous to us."
"That's true." Du Dian nodded. When he first asked, he felt that this method was inappropriate, and Holaini was right.
While the few people were waiting, after about ten minutes, the expedition team that went deep into the forest sent back a signal that they could come in.
Holaini immediately organized the second to fifth cannon fodder squads to enter one after another. The four of them walked in the middle of the team, followed by the remaining hunting group soldiers who were responsible for breaking the rear, and they all formed a long snake team to move forward.
After coming to the forest, Du Dian put away the previous casualness, and asked Hailisa to follow him closely, ready to use magic to deal with the surprise situation. At the same time, a dark golden flashed in his eyes from time to time, and he observed the surrounding environment with perspective .
Not long after going deep, there was a sound of fighting coming from the front, and everyone was shocked.
Monica looked forward and said calmly, "Don't worry, it's not the abyss."
The surrounding teams of hunting group soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their backs covered in cold sweat. Compared with the happy days when the beauty inside the wall had fragrant wine in hand, this place is simply a hell.
Holaini whispered: "This is the territory of the extremely cold ice dragon. There should be no second abyss. Just be careful not to be attacked by other monsters."
Hearing what he said, everyone felt confident in their hearts. Soon, the team moved faster, and the sound of fighting sounded from time to time along the way. Du Dian walked along the team, and when he came to the place where the sound of fighting was, he saw A few bloody corpses remained, as well as two corpses of monsters that had been split in half. The monsters had dark blue hair and exuded a heavy cold air.
Du Dian glanced at it twice, silent in his heart. An extremely cold ice dragon can transform all other monsters in the territory into ice physiques. This ability has exceeded his imagination.
Half an hour later, everyone passed through the ice and snow forest, leaving behind the corpses of more than a dozen companions, as well as several monster corpses.
After walking out of the forest, everyone can see a very vast lake not far ahead, the lake is quiet and the water is clear. Du Dian stared and saw that the lake was frozen.
"Prepare to set up the formation and lead this old dragon out." Holaini said in a deep voice, looking at the huge ice lake.
Buckle looked solemnly, and said in a cold voice: "I'll talk about it first, and when we make a move later, if anyone fails to use tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless afterwards!"
Holaini's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It's natural, please rest assured, wall master."
"That's right." Du Dian immediately said: "Everyone knows some things well, and I don't want to make it too clear. This extremely cold ice dragon is an extraordinary abyss.
In the face of the great enemy, if anyone sneaks up behind his back or plays tricks, I will just let him go and leave. At worst, I don't want this ice worm. "
The three frowned slightly, but said nothing.
After Du Dian finished speaking, he ignored them. He just said this to beat him. When it comes to the enemy, if others intend to sneak attack or deliberately save effort, he has nothing to do. At this time, whoever is honest will suffer.
Looking at the frozen lake, Du Dian observed it with a heat source, but he didn't see any heat source. He said to the three: "I'll go to the sky to have a look."
"Hmm." Holaini nodded, and then continued to direct the others to form formations.
Du Di'an soared to a height of 20 to 30 meters. Looking down, the icy lake is very large. There is no snow on the frozen lake, so it is as transparent as a mirror, and the dark green lake water at the bottom of the lake can be seen.
"The extremely cold ice dragon lives here, and I don't know if there are other fish monsters at the bottom of the lake. If not, what does it eat?" Du Dian had such a thought in his heart. This is not a boring idea, the biggest problem of all life It is eating and drinking, especially for some large monsters whose food intake is measured in tons. In order to find food, they have to go hunting or migrating every day, and even have to fight for food with difficult hunters, or challenge other monsters. Once the overlord in the territory is injured, it will be more difficult to find food, and he will starve. The more hungry he becomes, the weaker he will be, and he will become a prey from a hunter.
In the world outside the wall, countless monsters die every day, and many of these monsters are extremely fierce monsters.
Judging from the current situation, the extremely cold ice dragon is obviously an amphibious monster, and can even fly.
Du Dian patrolled the lake and soon found a messy paw print, which should have been left by the extremely cold ice dragon when it came ashore to look for food. However, in addition to these paw prints, he also saw some pitted fighting marks. In addition, he also saw half-cut guns inserted by the trees near the lake and close to the forest, covered by grass. Can't see.
"Have humans fought here?" Du Dian's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't think much about it. The ice lake was recorded on the map in Holeini's hands. Naturally, humans have explored here.
He was about to land, and at this moment, a shadow swayed past the central bottom of the frozen lake. Du Dian thought he was dazzled, so he looked intently. A few seconds later, another huge shadow swayed past, like A long snake.
Du Dian's eyelids twitched, is this the extremely cold ice dragon? It's at the bottom of the lake?
After staring at the lake for a while, the shadow swayed again. It was long and estimated to be more than ten meters long.
He watched for a while, but the shadow did not appear again. He landed down, looked at the hunting group soldiers who had been arranged by the lake, and said to the three of them, "Shall we draw them out now?"
"Everyone is in place and ready to start," Holleini said.
Du Dian frowned and said, "Shouldn't we attack again when this ice dragon comes out to look for food?"
"Wait for him to look for food?" None of the three are rookies, and they knew what he meant when they heard Du Dian, and Buckle thought about it: "When it is looking for food, it means it is hungry and its physical strength is the weakest. Okay, but we don't know how often it eats, these cold-blooded creatures tend to eat for half a month at a time, waiting for digestion, we can't wait so long."
Seeing that they didn't know the eating rules of the extremely cold ice dragon, Du Dian felt a little regretful and said, "Then prepare."
"I don't know if this thing is at the bottom of the lake or looking for food now." Monica frowned, "If it wasn't at the bottom of the lake, we would have been alarmed by us instead, so we should have taken precautions in advance."
"At the bottom of the lake, I just saw a shadow. I don't know if it is it, but there are probably no other monsters at the bottom of the lake except it." Du Dian said.
"You saw the shadow?" The three were a little surprised. They glanced at Du Dian and knew that he would not lie. , let me lure it out, lure it here, you lie in ambush here, and try to lure it into the forest, away from the frozen lake."
