Chapter 820: Beast Nest

In Qiao An's view, both of them have the charisma to lead the group, but their styles are completely different.

Arnold's leadership is mainly reflected in the perceptual level: proactive, optimistic and confident, daring to fight, and taking the lead.

Such a person, like a strong general, is very suitable for charging.

At a critical moment, Arnold will definitely be able to step forward and shout, "Follow me, brothers!"

He must rush to the forefront, regardless of his own safety, set an example with actions, and inspire the courage of his teammates.

As for planning before moving, making plans in advance to deal with unexpected situations is not what Arnold is good at.

His mind was filled with too much passion and impulse, and there was not much space left for strategizing.

In this regard, Audrey is obviously more calm and rational than Arnold, always preparing for the worst.

Even if she competed with the courage to lead the way, as a paladin, Audrey was not inferior to a macho man like Arnold.

Considering the two people's leadership abilities in an all-round way, even if Joan and Audrey don't have a personal relationship, they still support her as the "big sister in charge".

Under Audrey's command, at least they can avoid taking unnecessary risks as much as possible, and everyone has a higher chance of saving their lives.

On the other hand, if everyone followed Arnold into Pelidon's lair, fought and rushed, and said nothing, the consequences would be disastrous.

Joan's own way of thinking is destined not to agree with Arnold's reckless style, and naturally prefers Audrey's steady and rational leadership style.

Audrey and Arnold, each with the support of their team, the two sides are four against four, and there will never be a result. The time left for everyone to launch an attack is quietly passing.

In this situation, Joan felt that he was obliged to provide some stronger support for Audrey.

"The focus of your dispute lies in the inability to determine the number and distribution of Pelidons in the nest. If these two pieces of information can be clarified, there will be no dispute about what to do next."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Joan's face, expecting him to continue.

"This matter is actually not difficult, as long as we try to detect the situation in the lair."

"Joan, you mean to send someone first to sneak into the lair stealthily and collect information?"

Lori Grant made a guess following Joan's train of thought.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. I'll cast a spell here, and I'll be able to see what's going on in the lair soon." Joan replied softly.

"Have you learned the third ring 'Eagle Eye'?" Ryan asked immediately.

Joan nodded.

"It's easy with the 'Eagle Eye'!" Angel clapped his hands and laughed, "Let's stop arguing and let Joan cast a spell to check Peridon's lair."

The expectations of his teammates put some pressure on Joan.

Considering that the lair in the valley is dark and deep, and the area that can be seen by the "Eagle Eye" is limited to the range of vision, he decided to survey and map the general terrain of the lair before casting the spell.

Touching the storage bag, Joan took out the "navigation compass" and started the function of scanning the surrounding terrain.

The compass glowed with magic power, and soon presented a three-dimensional picture of the area around Bailun Mountain.

Joan skillfully adjusted the perspective of the map, and after zooming in on the area where Pelidon's lair was located, he found that the profile of the valley looked like a large olive.

The curved rock walls on both sides of the "Olive" are dotted with many "wormhole"-like potholes, which must be the caves specially used by female Pelydons for laying eggs and hatching young.

After seeing the general structure of the lair, Joan had a good idea.

Raising his hand to touch his right eye, Joan activated all three "Hawkeye Spells" enchanted by the prosthetic eye in one breath, and successively established three invisible magic observation points in the lair.

The location of the observation point has been carefully calculated by Joan, so that he can observe the situation inside the beast nest to the maximum extent, and he can also see the hatching room nearby.

Joan took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and projected his subjective perspective to the first observation point deep in the nest.

After a short period of dizziness, Joan opened his eyes, and found that the surroundings were dark, and there were vaguely shaking figures nearby, as well as the sound of heavy breathing.

Joan frowned, closed his eyes again, and chose to project the strange eyeball behind his neck—instead of the normal left eye—on the observation point.

"Eagle Eye" itself cannot provide "dark vision", but the strange eyeball has its own night vision ability. After Joan switched the eyeball, the vision in front of him became clearer.

Near the invisible observation point, a female Peliton was lying on her stomach in a nest paved with hay, dozing lazily, with several large round eggs faintly visible under her abdomen, apparently in the process of hatching.

Four or five Pelidon cubs, who looked as big as wolfdogs, were too energetic, hunched over under their mother's wings, as if playing a game of "hide-and-seek", and sometimes let out cheerful low chirps.

Their mother seemed to be a little worried that the beast eggs in her abdomen would be broken by the mischievous cubs, she raised her eyelids impatiently, bowed her head with antlers to arch a cub that was the most noisy, twisted her neck and threw it far away , fell on the thick straw mat, but it would not hurt.

When the other cubs saw what happened to the naughty ghost, they were all frightened and lay down in their nests, pretending to sleep, for fear of offending their violent mother.

The warm scene of mother and child playing in front of her made Qiao An smile knowingly.

However, in a flash, he realized clearly that the purpose of coming here with his companions was to kill the mother beast and her cubs in front of him, and even destroy the hatching animals under the female Peridon. Huge beast egg.

Thinking that before long, the warm scene in front of him would no longer exist, replaced by blood everywhere, Qiao An couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He took a deep breath, collected himself, and warned himself not to abuse compassion at such a time.

You must know that the birth of these Pelidon cubs in front of them is entirely based on the brutal killing of innocent humans by their parents.

Each of these seemingly cute Pelydon cubs was bought by many bloody hearts.

When they grow up, they will still follow the teachings of their parents, ruthlessly kill and cut out hearts, and breed more offspring that threaten the survival of human beings.

If I sympathize with this group of monsters, how should I face those compatriots whose hearts have been gouged out, and how should I face the orphans and widows behind countless souls?

There is no room for mercy in the competition for survival between species.

Joan forced himself to harden his heart, get rid of distracting thoughts, and switch to the second observation point.

Five minutes later, Joan inspected all three observation points and had a good idea of ​​the general situation in Pelidon's lair.

After the investigation, Joan returned his perspective to his own body, opened his eyes, and told his companions what he saw.

"Pelidon's lair, about 400 yards long, and about 250 yards at its widest point."

"There are a total of six spawning rooms in the nest, and there are no less than 100 unhatched beast eggs."

"According to my observation, there are about 40 to 50 adult Pelydons living in the den."

"Generally speaking, the distribution of the herd of beasts in the nest is relatively scattered, and tactics such as 'sneaking in and attacking' are not applicable."
