Chapter 1094 Your Style Is Steady but Reckless

Half an hour later, the three of them gathered together again.

Hayata found a claw mark on a fallen tree trunk, which also had some ancient dragon's breath. Alva was the one with the worst luck. He looked very hard, but he couldn't find any traces.

The three of them exchanged the samples they collected, let their guide insects extract the breath, and went to the next location.

From the morning, they spent almost the whole day in various places where the steel dragon left traces, constantly searching for clues.

However, most places failed to gain anything because of the long interval, and the remaining few places did not have much breath left.

The metal ore cluster with obvious signs of gnawing in front of them can almost be said to be the only exception.

Gordon used a knife to scrape some powder from the edge of the ore cluster that was bitten off. After putting it in the guide insect cage, the blue light lit up again.

Perhaps it was because this trace was relatively new, or it might be because the guide insect was gradually familiar with the breath of the steel dragon. This time the light was much brighter than the previous times.

But unfortunately, it still failed to trigger the guide insect's instinct to lead the way.

Gordon closed the lid of the insect trap, put away the knife, and sighed with some regret.

Hayata looked up at the sky, "There is at most one hour left, the sun will set, should we continue investigating?"

Gordon also glanced at the sun, then opened the map, "Among the locations provided by Deter, two-thirds of the areas have been checked, and one-third is left.

It is impossible to check all before dark, go back to the camp to rest, and continue after dawn tomorrow."

"Yeah." Hayata nodded, she guessed that Gordon would choose this.

Unless the situation is special, they generally do not choose to act at night, which is necessary caution.

Alva was still a little reluctant, "There is still some time, should it be enough for us to investigate another location?"

"No."

"It will take time on the road."

Gordon and Hayata refused in unison.

Alva had a bitter face, and the hunters' opinions dominated the decision-making of outdoor operations.

Since the two top hunters decided to go back to the camp, even if he objected, he would only be knocked unconscious and tied back.

After returning to the Star Base, if Hayata complained to his wife again, he would never come out again

"Let's go." Alva sighed.

The three of them used whistles to call the pterosaurs and acid pterosaurs wandering nearby, soaring into the air with the wind, flying at a low altitude of dozens of meters above the treetops, and flying towards the camp without haste.

The setting sun reflected the sunset, and the warm color made people feel relaxed.

Gordon couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that tomorrow will be another good day."

But at this moment, Alva's exclamation came to his ears, "Look over there!"

Gordon, who was somewhat startled, turned his head and looked. In the northwest, about seven or eight kilometers away, the clouds were gathering towards that side, forming a dark cyclone.

And as time went by, the cyclone was constantly expanding, and even here, which was still very far away, they could clearly feel that the wind speed was increasing.

Obviously attracted, the insect traps on the waists of the three people emitted a fluorescent blue light.

Now there is no need to guess what caused the cyclone and attracted the dark clouds.

The pterosaurs screamed in panic, and the whistling of the wind became more and more obvious. Hayata asked loudly: "What should we do now!?"

Should we pursue safety, return to the camp to wait for the storm and the night to pass, and continue to search from clues tomorrow.

Or should we be more direct and fly to the face of the steel dragon now?

Gordon himself was also entangled, but he had to make a decision as soon as possible. After a brief hesitation, he had a plan, "Go back to the camp first!"

Hayata wanted to say something after hearing this, but in the end he didn't speak, and commanded the pterosaurs to stay away from the expanding cyclone and cloud.

The pterosaurs who received the signal screamed and accelerated towards the direction of the treetop camp.

At high speed, they returned to the camp more than ten minutes later.

The sun had not yet completely set, but the sky had quickly darkened. The originally clear sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the sky was so low that it seemed to be pressing down on the treetops.

Raindrops floated in the air, and it would soon turn into a heavy downpour.

The three of them landed in the camp one after another. Just as Hayata was about to take off the sword on his back, Gordon quickly said, "Hurry up and eat and rest. When the storm subsides in the second half of the night, we will set off."

"Ah?" Alva was a little unresponsive.

Even Hayata was stunned for a moment.

Gordon took off his helmet and smiled, "I don't want to give up such a good opportunity, but we have been in action for a whole day, so we are still a little tired.

And judging from the rainstorm last night, the wind and rain are the strongest in the first half of the night. It is not a wise decision to drag our tired bodies to approach the ancient dragon in the storm.

Let it make trouble first, and wait until the second half of the night, when the wind and rain gradually weaken, we will set off on the pterosaur, and land and walk when we are several kilometers away from the center of the storm.

This should be the safest way. Even if a battle occurs, we will not fall into a passive position due to fatigue."

Hayata, who was still a little confused, showed a hint of realization on his face.

I said that if Ansir was in charge of the command, he might make the decision to give up the opportunity and pursue safety. Gordon said that steady and reckless is his style.

Gordon took off his heavy breastplate while looking at Alva, "By the way, do you have experience in operating in the dense forest at night, or do you have rich experience in this area?

If you are not used to operating at night, don't go for a while. The opponent is an ancient dragon, and we are not sure we can protect your safety."

Gordon's words were direct, and Alva's reply was also straightforward.

He made a "don't worry" gesture, "Don't worry! We scribes are different from you hunters. If we want to get close to observe monsters, we can only rely on hiding, so the number of operations at night is even more than during the day, which is completely fine!"

Gordon took a deep look at him, took out two flash bombs and handed them to him, "According to Aiden, flash bombs are effective against steel dragons. Take them for self-defense and use them at critical times."

Alva did not reach out to take it, but gave Gordon a mysterious look.

He untied a leather buckle on his waist, took off a portable leather waterproof backpack from behind, unzipped it, and showed Gordon the neatly placed things in it.

In addition to the most basic recovery medicine and food, there are also various props such as strong walking medicine, secret medicine, flash bomb, sonic bomb, fertilizer bomb, home jade, and dispel fruit.

Gordon even saw several poisonous throwing knives and paralysis throwing knives full of venom.

In addition to weapons and protective gear, the number of hunting props this guy carries with him is even more exaggerated than those of real hunters, and the types are more complicated.

For things like throwing knives, he only practiced a little when he was an apprentice and was pressed by Instructor Ernest. In the past ten years since he officially became a hunter, he has never used them in actual combat.

How can someone still practice throwing knives? !

Hayata also couldn't understand, "Other things are easy to say, but do you really know how to use props like throwing knives?"

There was another half sentence she didn't say-she herself didn't know how to use such things at all.

Because her master Amos didn't value this "insidious little thing" very much.

Alva smiled and picked up a throwing knife, then swung it and nailed it on a thick branch in front of him.

Then he pushed his glasses and said proudly, "My wife taught me!"
