Chapter 1088 Between Life and Death
This sudden turn of events stunned the three alcoholic people.
Why did it suddenly explode? The smaller one was blown up to death? !
Are the slime molds in that cave really that powerful? Can even Broken Dragon's famously hard obsidian carapace be blown apart in one go?
No, so what are you planning? Suicide with your children?
After the shock, there were so many questions in the minds of the three people and the odd-faced clan that they almost overflowed with questions.
The seriously injured Shattered Dragon twisted and struggled for a long time, but was unable to stand up from the ground.
Once, it almost managed to stand up, but somehow the slime mold on its body was aroused, and several more balls of fire burst out, knocking it over to the ground again.
Its eyes turned white, and if its body wasn't slightly undulating, the hunters would have suspected that it had gone with the little Broken Dragon.
"What do you say?" Osura put down the light crossbow and asked Ted sideways.
Ted was silent for a few seconds and said: "It is no longer a threat. There is a high probability that it will not survive such a serious injury. We have no reason to hunt it."
"Um."
Oshula and Maca had no objections. The mission assigned to them by the Commander-in-Chief was not hunting, but investigation. They would only choose hunting when they confirmed that the other party was extremely dangerous and might threaten the safety of the investigation team members.
As for now, it is obviously not necessary.
"Gaba Ka, Ka Ya"
Babaka stared at the charred corpse of the little broken dragon for a long time, took out a bottle of recovery potion, raised his head and said a few words to Ted.
Ted's eyes dropped through his visor, "No, taking this opportunity to kill it is destroying natural selection. To save it now, even if you just pour a bottle of recovery medicine on it, is also destroying natural selection.
There is no need. We leave here, find a place nearby to observe it for a day, and then leave. No matter whether it is dead or alive, we can just take the news back. "
"Kababa" Babaka nodded sadly, but did not disobey Ted's order, and Maka also did not speak for it.
With one last look at the Broken Dragon that was only breathing its last breath, the hunters turned and left the scene.
When the sun rose, the dying Broken Dragon opened its dim eyes.
Under the scorching sun, Broken Dragon tried to get up again and again. The obsidian carapace was almost completely shattered, the flesh was charred, the bones were broken, and the unstable slime mold exploded from time to time.
All of this has become an obstacle for it to stand up again, but it still keeps trying.
At this time, even if just a few thief dragons come running, it can be the last straw that overwhelms it and kills this former ferocious beast.
But the extremely barren biological environment of the Lava Mountain Canyon saved its life. Except for a few insects such as transport ants, no other creatures were attracted by the smell of blood.
It kept twisting its bloody body, kept getting up, and kept falling.
Finally, when night fell again, the broken dragon stood up again. It dragged a broken leg and limped to the charred corpse of the cub.
Lowering his head and sniffing, he saw that the cub had completely lost its life. Broken Dragon used its broken arm to lift its broken body, raised its head and let out a series of deep roars.
After that, it never looked back and slowly left the land where its cub was buried and almost became its graveyard.
Soon after it left, the hunters climbed down from the cliff where they were hiding.
"It seems that guy saved his life." Ted said as he looked in the direction where Broken Dragon was going.
"It's really tenacious. Two forearms are broken, the horns on the top of the head are broken, one leg is broken, there are several big holes in the body, and half of the tail is missing. How can you still live like this?" Oshura clicked her tongue in surprise.
Maka was silent for a while and then said: "I always feel that if it can really survive, it will turn into a pretty scary guy when the injury heals."
Ted chuckled, "Then wait until then, and let's hunt it again! Let's go home!"
"Kabaka!" Babaka suddenly jumped up, pointed at the collapsed cave and yelled a few words.
Ted and the three looked at it in surprise.
"You said you were going to take some slime mold samples? What's for it?" Maka couldn't help but ask.
Babaka danced and explained.
"For research use by scholars? Well, the glasses from the Institute of Ecology and the Institute of Botany might actually be interested."
"Kagakka, pork chop!"
"I want to bring more back and give them to the pork chops. Maybe it will be interested? How could it be interested in this? Uh, do you mean to make explosives for it?"
"Kababa!"
"Okay, then bring more." Ted moved his arms, looking full of enthusiasm, "Last time I blasted it into a molten canyon, next time I'll see if I can blast through the New World."
Without the obstruction of the cliff barriers on both sides of the Grand Canyon, the liaison convoy successfully arrived at the southwest corner of the Coral Platform.
There is only the last bit of distance left from here to the research base.
"Don't let down your guard! Although the scenery of Lu Coral Platform is beautiful, there are also many dangerous monsters living here!"
As the leader of this liaison convoy and the only one among the convoy who came to the Lu Coral Platform in person, he loudly reminded everyone who was immersed in the unique beauty of Lu Coral.
Feng Ying, who was walking at the front of the team with the leader of the research class, always put her left hand on the hilt of the sword behind her waist. She turned her eyes and asked the former, "How far is it from the research base?"
The leader of the research class looked into the distance, pointed in one direction and said, "It's very close. Have you seen those hot air balloons? They're right there."
"Oh! We are finally here!"
The research class leader also smiled, "If you want to get here before, you can only cross the canyon with your bare hands. It is not only laborious, but you must also be on guard against the attacks of acid pterosaurs at all times.
Now you just need to bypass the Molten Mountain Canyon. Although it will take a day or two, the route is finally open."
"The research class leader looks very happy, is it because you can finally meet Imodo?" Feng Ying said with a smile.
She heard from Master Gordon and others that the research class leader and the leader of the third group are siblings.
His sister has been trapped in the wild for so many years, he must be very worried.
Feng Ying was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't expect the research class leader's face to turn black, and sneered: "Haha, that guy is afraid that I won't be too welcome."
"Uh" Feng Ying's face froze when she heard this.
Could it be that the relationship between this brother and sister is not good?
"Haha." A sneer almost the same as the research class leader came.
A tall woman in a purple robe, surrounded by several scholars, walked out from behind a lush coral tree.
"The people on the observation tower said that they saw a convoy coming from afar, so they brought people out to greet them, and as a result, they heard someone saying bad things about me.
If you don't know, you might think I'm a difficult person to get along with.
My dear brother, after so many years, you still like to say bad things about people behind their backs."
Faced with his sister's weird tone, the head of the research class had veins jumping on his forehead.
But the former did not give him a chance to speak back. After speaking, he immediately turned to the other people in the convoy, put his hands together, and bowed gracefully.
"It's really hard for you to come from afar. Let me welcome you on behalf of everyone in the research base."
