Chapter 1014 Is Yuanye a Name?
After discussing with his companions, Gordon made the decision to rest for a few days and wait for Pork Chops to return to the team before continuing north.
The clues about the Flame King Dragon have been broken. Apart from knowing that it did have a battle with a powerful creature before its death, there are no other reliable clues.
As for whether that monster is the "Nergigant" that the Grand Leader has been tracking for decades, no one can guarantee it.
However, the amazingly powerful claw attack is indeed consistent with the Grand Leader's description of the Nergigante.
According to the information shared by the grand leader, Nergigante is one of the few ancient dragons that does not control some kind of energy, and does not even have the ability to breathe, and relies purely on its physical body to fight.
Similar situations generally only occur in super giant ancient dragons, such as Laoshanlong and Fengshanlong.
These two are relatively extreme cases. It is not that there is no special energy in their bodies. For example, the materials of Laoshan Dragon are rich in dragon-attribute energy, and the materials of Fengshan Dragon are rich in water-attribute energy.
They lost the ability to harness this energy because over countless years of evolution, these abilities were eliminated.
Their extremely large size is enough to allow them to ignore any opponent, and their excess abilities will only become a burden that robs them of nutrients.
The grand leader believes that the Nergigante is in a similar situation, except that it relies not on its size, but on its extremely powerful body.
Amazing muscle strength, super-fast self-recovery ability, excellent flying ability, and spikes all over its body.
All this is enough to make it an opponent that many ancient dragons must be afraid of and even fear.
Now that you have decided to continue pursuing such an existence, it is impossible not to make good preparations.
The shooters who had consumed a lot of ammunition in order to stop the corpse dragon started their collection journey again.
Logistics supplies are always the most troublesome thing for shooters.
They didn't feel anything when they had their backs against the Star Stronghold, but when they arrived at the isolated research base, they had to do everything by themselves.
The only good thing was that they adjusted their supplies before departure and did not carry finished ammunition, but a large amount of gunpowder.
The most expensive materials required for diffusion bombs and armor-piercing grenades—diffusion fruits and explosion fruits—are produced on the Coral Plateau itself.
Combined with the piles of gunpowder, shooters can mix several times the amount of ammunition they carry with them.
This is why they still don't have to worry about running out of ammunition after experiencing several intense battles.
The four hunters acted separately. They hoped to collect a sufficient number of diffusion fruits and exploding fruits within one to two days. After all, it takes a lot of time to reconcile ammunition.
Gale leads Sandstone through colorful coral reef rocks.
Sandstone bounced along the way, and every once in a while he would take off the new shield behind him and wave it twice. He said it was because he was familiar with the feel, but in fact it was because he couldn't put it down because of his ADHD.
Enhanced by the excellent bone materials obtained from the bone mound, the strength of its protective shield has increased by more than one level.
Gale, who advocates "letting go" not only did not say anything, but smiled and flicked the hair tufts on the tips of Detel's ears.
"How about I find you an opponent to practice with?"
"Okay, meow! I just saw the footprints of the cat lizard, meow!"
"You bastard cat lizard, don't you think you'll dirty your new shield by doing that thing? It must be at least the level of a flying dragon!"
"Fei Fei Long Meow?!"
"Are you afraid of flying dragons?" Gale deliberately put on an expression of "That's it?"
Sandstone held up his new shield and argued dissatisfiedly, "It's the warrior's excitement, meow!"
"That's pretty much it." Gale chuckled, "Let's hold back the formation. If you see a flying dragon or something, just move up."
"But we're not on a mission, cat. Doesn't this count as poaching?"
"Steal a furry hunt, beat it once and then run away. It's just for training and there's no need for it."
Sandstone scratched his ears and felt that what the master said made sense, without any awareness that he was being gradually assimilated.
One person and one cat searched carefully, but the real purpose of the trip had long been forgotten by them.
It didn't take long for them to discover something - it was a long and narrow claw mark covered in frost.
"The monster that uses frost on the Coral Platform, the Wind Drifting Dragon, hehehe, you're lucky!" Gale raised his eyebrows and knelt down, collected some boulders and put them into the insect guide cage.
The guide insect responded quickly, flew out of the insect cage, and began to guide the path of the scent.
One person and one cat monster smiled and started to follow.
The target was very close. They ran on the naturally formed mountain path for a few minutes, then slid down a slope and came to the edge of a cliff.
From here, the light path guided by the guide insect went vertically downward, and they poked their heads out from the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Sure enough, on the platform below the cliff, a beautiful flying dragon with dark blue as its main color was suspended in mid-air, screaming condescendingly, as if it was confronting something.
Gale squinted.
The shooter's excellent eyesight allowed her to quickly see clearly that Feng Piaolong's target was actually a person.
She immediately set up the light crossbow [Crown of Thorns], loaded the ammunition, and prepared to support the shooting. The sandstone also tightened the large shield and slid down quickly along the vines hanging down the cliff.
However, the man was faster than them.
She raised a "weapon" that looked like a light crossbow but had a much simpler structure than the light crossbow, and continuously pulled the trigger toward the Fengdiaolong in mid-air.
Gale, who was aiming at the target, paused.
When she saw the man setting up his weapon, she thought she had bumped into someone else, after all, the thing in his hand looked like a light crossbow.
But when it was fired, there was no roar that was unique to a crossbow.
This meant that the other party did not use a "crossbow bullet" in the conventional sense. After all, in order to pursue power, even the most basic common bullets would be propelled with gunpowder.
This meant that the thing was definitely not a light crossbow, but a "small toy" similar to a projectile.
Just as she was stunned, several groups of brown-yellow mist exploded on Fengpiaolong's face.
A foul smell spread in the air. It was obvious that the man was using fertilizer bullets.
The pungent smell was very irritating to Fengpiaolong, who had a keen sense of smell. It shook its head vigorously, but it could not get rid of the stench. Finally, it screamed and flapped its wings and left.
The man first breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed the light path formed by the aerial guide insects, and was stunned.
She glanced left and right.
Soon, he saw the sandstone approaching here, and Gale who put down the crossbow on the cliff and waved at him, and an embarrassed look flashed across his face.
The two people and the cat will get together.
Gale looked at the other party curiously. It was an elderly lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies. Her hair was gray, but her limbs were still strong and vigorous.
Her bronze complexion and the outfit with the emblem of the investigation team proved that she was an investigator who had been working in the wild for many years.
Yeah? Sixty or seventy years old, female, working outside all year round, she seemed to have heard of similar people?
Before Gale could say anything, the other party spoke first.
"Sorry, young man, you scared away your prey." The man said apologetically: "I will help find the wind dragon that ran away as soon as possible."
"Ah? Ah! It's okay." Gale waved his hand, thinking about how to respond.
Sandstone replied bluntly: "Actually, we haven't received any missions either."
The other party was stunned for a moment, "It's not a hunting target, are you here to investigate the wind dragon?"
Gail was about to say "yes" to fool him, but Sandstone got there first.
"No, we just want to have a big fight with it!"
"?" The man's eyes suddenly became strange, and he cast a scrutinizing look at Gale.
Gail kicked Sandstone aside with his foot, and laughed dryly: "This cat is stupid, don't listen to it, it's nonsense!"
Ps.
I always thought that Master Yuanye's name was "Yuanye", but later I saw the setting collection and found that it seemed, maybe, maybe not
It should be Master Yuanye (field investigation) corresponding to the title of swordsmanship master, but here I use Yuanye as her name, so that everyone can get used to it.
