Chapter 1212 Behemoth
The number of fixed hunting groups composed entirely of top hunters is extremely rare.
After all, it takes a long time for any tacit team to form.
Personal talent and strength, compatibility between members, team configuration, and even luck, all of which are indispensable.
Take Silver Edge as an example.
In the years before Feng Ying came to the New World, Gordon and the other two often cooperated with other top hunters.
But no one could really replace Feng Ying and become a new member of Silver Edge.
Including Gale, who later married Anshil.
The "fit" between them is always a level short. They are like a puzzle that has already been formed. If you change a piece to fit, it will always be incomplete.
Therefore, even in this "golden age" when young strong men emerge in large numbers, the top hunting groups in the new and old continents only barely reach double digits.
Each top hunting group is extremely valuable.
As the only two fixed top hunting groups in the New World Survey Team, the strength of the Alcohol Hunting Group is still a little behind Silver Edge.
But the configuration of a seven-star gun lance user, a seven-star bug stick user, and a six-star light crossbow user can be called an absolute trump card in Dongdoruma.
When "Silver Edge" was famous all over the world, it was only at this level.
The strength of the "horrible beast" that appeared in the Dragon Crystal Land can be imagined to be able to force such a team into a desperate situation where the whole army is almost annihilated.
As soon as the commander-in-chief received the news, he summoned Gordon and others.
The current priority is to rush to the Dragon Crystal Land to provide emergency treatment for the members of the Alcohol Team and bring them safely back to the Star Base to recuperate.
Now that Alcohol has been wiped out, the only team that may successfully complete this task is Silver Edge.
"The purple beast can wipe out Alcohol, and its strength is unquestionable, and your team is not complete, so you must avoid fighting as much as possible.
Bringing the wounded back safely is your only mission goal, and the investigation and hunting of the mysterious beast are follow-up work.
Don't be impulsive, understand?" The commander-in-chief repeatedly emphasized.
"Understood, we will leave by pterosaur immediately." Gordon nodded and said quickly.
"No, we can't rush. It takes time to prepare the airship. You will leave by airship tomorrow morning." The commander-in-chief said seriously: "I know you have a good relationship, but the more times like this, the more we need to be calm."
Seeing An Xier impatiently wanting to say something, the commander-in-chief stopped him with his eyes, "They were taken back to the base by the strange-faced tribe, and their current situation is relatively safe.
More importantly, even the acid pterosaur can't take you to the dragon crystal land in one breath. The pterosaur can bear it, but you can't bear it.
Entering the dragon crystal land in a tired state is not only dangerous, you want Ted who is seriously injured and unconscious to come back by pterosaur?
If you take the airship, you can recuperate on the airship. I will let professional doctors accompany you, so that it will be more convenient to transport and treat the wounded."
An Xier closed his mouth.
I have to admit that the commander-in-chief's arrangement is more appropriate.
Counting the necessary rest time on the road, it may not be faster to leave by pterosaur now than to leave by airship tomorrow morning.
Preparing for departure with an anxious mood.
For this so-called purple giant beast, Gordon and others naturally thought of what scholars had discovered in ancient ruins a few months ago.
They came to Alva's house and wanted to learn some information from the latter.
But from Rania, they learned that Alva left the base on a pterosaur as soon as he heard that the alcohol team encountered the purple giant beast, and no one knew where he went.
Gordon and others had to find other scholars first to try to piece together useful information, such as attributes, weaknesses, etc.
But the information they finally got was more mysterious than the last.
Summoning thunder is fine, and Qilin can also summon thunder, but "waving claws to blast the earth", "raising a tornado that reaches the sky with a breath", "summoning the zodiac meteorite that destroys the world", etc., it is difficult for people not to doubt the authenticity of this information.
It has been common since ancient times to worship powerful creatures as gods, or to fear them as demons, to describe and record them in an exaggerated way, and to deify them.
How much truth and how much exaggeration, who can tell?
After asking around, the only thought that Gordon and the other two had was.
No matter how true the information was, they just hoped that the "purple beast" that Ted and the others encountered was not the "horrible beast" recorded in ancient civilizations.
That thing might be even more outrageous than the ancient dragon.
However, Alva, who barely rushed back to the Star Base in the second half of the night, shattered this expectation.
Like Gordon and the others, when he first learned that the "purple beast" had appeared, he also thought of the "destroying beast" depicted in the inscriptions and murals in the ruins.
So he immediately rode a pterosaur to the ruins located underground in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, and after a lot of effort, he moved the stones that sealed the entrance and entered the stone chamber.
The inexplicably broken crystal on the altar proved many things.
The logical relationship may not be rigorous, but for the hunters, it is enough to dispel some of their luck.
After running back and forth for a day and a night, Alva, who was almost exhausted, pulled Gordon and kept emphasizing.
“Don’t ignore that information. From my experience, the grammar of those inscriptions doesn’t sound like some vague myth, but more like a warning to future generations.
The Qilin can summon thunder, the Steel Dragon can stir up a tornado, the Flame King Dragon can explode the earth, and even the seemingly most impossible ability to summon meteorites can be done by the Snake King Dragon in the records of ancient documents.
If the information in the ruins is true, you will face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy that combines the abilities of multiple ancient dragons.
Any bit of luck or negligence may cost you your life."
The tragic defeat of the Alcohol Team and Alva's warning forced Gordon and the other two to prepare for the worst.
In addition to the preparation of protective weapons and various potions and props, Hayata even specifically found Gail and solemnly asked the latter to take care of Muti for them if they had an accident.
Gail was so angry that he couldn't help pinching her several times.
Before dawn, the airship finally completed all preparations before departure.
Under the uneasy gaze of everyone, Gordon and his party boarded the airship and headed towards the Dragon Crystal Land.
After three days and two nights of flying, the airship finally Finally, it arrived at the Dragon Crystal Land and hovered in a relatively safe valley.
According to Babaka, who was traveling with them, the straight-line distance from here to the Qimian tribe residence that took in the alcohol trio was only four or five kilometers.
It was not sure about the specific route, after all, when it went to the stars to report the news, it took the risk to leave from the air.
If the airship continues to move forward, it is very likely to attract the attention of the ancient dragons living in the core area of the Dragon Crystal Land, adding risks. The next journey can only rely on walking.
Rejecting the doctors' suggestion to act together, Gordon and his party slid down the rope to the ground.
Pork Chop glanced at the sky and said worriedly: "Are we really going to act at night?"
"Yeah." Gordon's expression was very calm, "The purpose of this trip is not to fight, but to rescue.
The night will affect our vision, but it will also serve as our cover.
According to the plan, bypass open areas and act in narrow caves and rock passages as much as possible to reduce the probability of encountering the monster.
Oh, by the way, it's time to call it 'Behemoth' now. "
Hayata raised his conical helmet and looked at the mountains that rose and fell like a herd of beasts under the cover of night.
"Behemoth, 'a herd of giant beasts'?"
