Chapter 1128 Separate Exploration
Northeastern edge of the Dragon Crystal Land.
Running on the wide mountain road that didn't seem to be formed naturally, Hayata, who was in charge of clearing the way, suddenly made a gesture.
Gail immediately stopped, set up a light crossbow on the spot, and went on alert. The accompanying Sandstone also raised a large shield to guard beside her, alert to the monsters that might appear at any time.
Hayata squatted down and checked the regular row of prismatic shallow pits on the mountain road.
"Explosive Hammer Dragon"
After a brief observation and analysis, she came to the conclusion, "There are more than one row of traces, and some are very new. This mountain road should have been rolled out by the explosive hammer dragons living nearby."
She stood up and raised her voice to Gale: "There are explosive hammer dragons, and this is the passage they often use."
"Oh my God!"
Gale, who was more careful around his daughter and more carefree after going out, kept spewing out obscene words, "How many explosive hammer dragons must have rolled back and forth to roll out such a road?"
Sophia, who was traveling with him, habitually ignored those words with amazing sand content, pushed her glasses, and said: "Maybe It has little to do with the number of Blast Dragons.
These mountain paths are very clean, and basically no crystal blocks can be seen. The soil layer is also very solid, which is probably caused by years of rolling.
However, the rolling of the Blast Dragon will level the mountain path, and the level mountain path will attract more Blast Dragons. There may be quite a few Blast Dragons nearby. "
Gail lifted the visor of the cat-shaped helmet, "We have just entered the periphery of this dragon crystal land, and there are already monsters of the level of Blast Dragon. What kind of ghost things will we encounter if we go further in?"
"Who knows." Hayata climbed onto a huge rock, took out a telescope and looked at the distance two or three kilometers away.
The huge crystal clusters that grew from the ground crushed the mountain peaks, like a huge silver sword, piercing the clouds.
"Let's go there first."
Northwest of the Dragon Crystal Land.
I don't know if it's the plate movement or some other reason. In the direction where the alcohol team broke into, there are mountains and peaks, and most of them are nearly vertical rock cliffs.
Maka and Oshura had been scolding Ted all the way.
There was no way, he had chosen this direction randomly. The editor had clearly reminded them that the terrain in this direction was complicated, but this guy insisted that "a real man should face the challenge head-on!".
Climbing and climbing the mountain with heavy armor was too torturous
After finally crossing a ridge, looking at the high mountains in front of them, several people's faces turned green.
"Do we really have to climb all the way like this?! Don't do that kind of thing!!"
"Ka Ba Ba Ba!!!"
The drunkards and Baba Ka wailed in unison.
The young editor who had been following the three people all the way and had not spoken much sighed.
As Aiden's regular partner, she didn't have much contact with the people in the alcohol team. She originally thought that these seniors were just bold and casual.
After observing all the way, she found that these three brothers and sisters might, possibly, really, not have much brains.
She sighed again and said, "There is another route that doesn't require climbing."
The three people and the strange-faced tribe turned their heads together.
"What?"
"What do you mean?!"
"Miss Haosheng, please tell me!"
"Kababa!"
The compiler's forehead was throbbing with a vein, "Please don't use the name 'Miss Haosheng'. You can call me by my real name, Liyang." (Let's give Sister Haosheng a name. She looks oriental, so give her a slightly Japanese name)
"Oh! Liyang!"
"By the way, this name is the naming style of the Western Continent, right?"
"Yes, our family is a trading family that came to the Old Continent as a branch family."
Seeing that the drunken seniors were going to continue chatting, Liyang interrupted them and said, "Let's get back to the topic first. Let's go. Although there is only a rough topographic map at present, it can be seen that the valleys between the mountains are basically connected.
We can move from the foot of the mountain. Although it will take a lot of detours, it is at least less laborious than crossing the mountains. "
"Okay! That's it!"
"Why didn't you say there was such a road earlier!"
"You are worthy of being a cultured person, your brain is so useful! The route planning from now on will be left to you!"
"Kababa!"
Liyang didn't remember how many times she sighed, "Anyway, let's go down the mountain from here first."
Under Gordon's arrangement, Fengying, Aibo, and Aiden's group were responsible for the investigation in the west direction of the Dragon Crystal Land.
Fengying has always envied Gordon Hayata for having a cat, so that he can send hunting cats out for reconnaissance and bring back intelligence and information from nearby areas.
The Fang Hounds can't do this. Although these smart hounds can also take on the work of outposts and vigilance, they can't communicate in language after all, and there will be obstacles in information communication.
But now it's different, she also has a cat!
Although Mushroom's skills as a hunting cat are still very immature and he is not proficient in the common language, he also has his own advantages.
Having survived hard in the valley of miasma since childhood, Mushroom is very good at "searching". Whether it is looking for food, water, or monster traces, he is quite skilled and even proficient.
The predators who are not good at these cannot survive in that hellish environment.
"Amber! Mushroom! You guys explore forward in a roundabout way. If you find anything, come back and report immediately!" Feng Ying waved her hand with great momentum.
Master Gordon had said this in the past, and she had wanted to learn it for a long time!
"Meow!"
"Woof!"
Mushroom rode Amber, and a cat and a dog rushed out.
"It's great to have cats and dogs." Looking at the retreating figures of hunting cats and hounds, Aiden's face was full of envy, "I also want to find a hunting partner or two."
"Hahahaha!" Feng Ying put her hands on her hips and laughed, "I'll help you look for a cat later if I get the chance! Find the cat yourself, and the dog must be from Yanhuo Village. Yanhuo Village has the best tooth hound in the world!"
"Then please!" Aiden laughed, while not forgetting to be alert to the surrounding environment.
Aiden is very popular and is even called "Brother Sunshine" by the members of the fifth group for a reason.
——He can always give people positive emotional feedback.
If Gordon were here at this moment, he would slap Feng Ying on the back of the head, who was laughing proudly, to tell her to be careful.
If it were the tough-tongued Jean, even if he was envious in his heart, he would pretend to be disdainful and sarcastic, and then let his hunting cat Nanasi compete with mushrooms.
Only Aiden was cheerful and spoke nicely.
Ai Bo was a few steps behind them, chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth, and confirmed their current position through the surrounding mountains.
"Hmm, due to the proliferation of crystals, the terrain has changed a lot, and the map made by the wilderness masters and others is no longer reliable.
But generally the reference should be fine.
The map shows that there is a cave two kilometers ahead. Through the cave, you can enter the underground. There are many huge underground spaces there.
Considering that crystals 'grow' better in a closed environment, let's go there to investigate first? "
"OK!"
"So should we call the Amber Mushroom back first? Don't get separated soon." Ai Bo reminded her after swallowing the dried meat.
"Ahem, okay." Feng Ying coughed dryly to cover up her embarrassment, and took out a whistle and blew it hard.
Amber and the others haven't gone far yet, they will be back soon when they hear the whistle call.
"There is a situation, be alert." Suddenly, Aiden shouted.
Although she was not sure what the so-called "situation" was, Feng Ying immediately set up her sword and shield and entered combat mode.
Aiden's eyes were fixed on a mark on the rock wall not far away.
".Is that the trace left by the steel dragon's breath?"
