Chapter 1239: In Groups

(The last chapter was modified. Gale's hard armor dragon S helmet was changed to a Qilin S headdress. Because I almost forgot about it this time when I was shooting attribute bullets)

The hunters collected some snow blocks from the footprints left by the Ice Fang Dragon and put them into the insect guide cage to extract the smell information.

Then they put on the invisible clothes and headed carefully into the canyon.

After bypassing a rock wall and entering the canyon pass, the scene in the frozen canyon made everyone take a breath.

Spectacular? Or scary? They didn't know how to describe the scene in front of them.

At this moment, even Hayata, who came with the most utilitarian purpose, had the urge to turn around and retreat.

Wind Drifting Dragon Group - a group of large flying dragons, just looking at the words makes people feel scalp tingling.

And when you see all this with your own eyes, it is another completely different feeling.

As far as the sight can be seen, there are at least more than twenty wind drifting dragons in action.

Some of them spread their wings wide, like a kite, flying and playing in the air flow in the canyon.

Some were tearing up the snow deer and winter pterosaurs brought back from hunting.

The leftover bones had covered the ground. If it weren't for the low temperature, the smell in the canyon would be unpleasant.

Two of them flew and wrestled with each other, and it was unclear whether they were playing or competing for status.

There were even special "sentinels" who squatted on the top of the iceberg like an owl, patrolling everything in the canyon.

These were not pterosaurs or snake dragons, but flying dragons, large flying dragons standing at the top of an ecosystem!

Imagine dozens of fire dragons occupying a mountain, flying and playing, or dozens of horned dragons gathering in a desert oasis, running rampant.

It was simply a nightmare.

As the captain of this team, Hayata decisively ordered to find the entrance and enter the cave as soon as possible.

On one side was the solitary ice dragon, and on the other side were groups of wind dragons. Liefeng knew which one to choose.

With the cover provided by the invisible clothes, they were not discovered by the sentinels for the time being.

But at this time, no one dared to be careless.

Everyone tried their best to slow down their steps, suppress their breath, and move close to the rock wall at the edge of the canyon, hoping that the rock wall could block some of their sight from the air.

The operation was relatively smooth. A few minutes after entering the canyon, they found a passage leading to the inside of the mountain and underground.

The bad news was that near the passage, a wind dragon was feasting on a frozen winter dragon corpse.

To enter the cave, you must pass in front of it.

The invisible clothes are indeed very useful, but they are a group of cats and dogs. Even if the wind dragon is blind, it can always detect some abnormalities.

Hiding in a rock hollow, the hunters exchanged opinions in a low voice and decided to use flash bombs.

Compared with discovering intruders, it should be easier for the wind dragon to calm down when encountering a sudden unknown strong light but not finding the enemy?

Just as Hayata was about to take out the flash bomb, a cat's paw pressed her hand.

It was sandstone.

It said it had a way to make the hunters calm down.

Looking around, Sandstone chose an open area some distance from the cave entrance and ran over quietly.

He placed the mechanism box of the provocative dummy, and then quickly drilled into the ground.

A claw stretched out from the cave and activated the mechanism.

The inflatable dummy made of soft leather popped out with a "bang!", swaying from side to side, and the bells hanging on it kept making piercing sounds.

Immediately, several wind dragons noticed the abnormality here and swooped over with a scream.

The wind dragon squatting near the cave entrance to eat also put down the food in front of it for the time being and rushed over.

Their actions attracted the attention of more wind dragons, and the piercing howls and the sound of dragon wings stirring the air resounded throughout the frozen canyon.

Sandstone's strategy was simple. To put it bluntly, it was to give the wind dragons a target to attack and attract their attention. After the provocative dummy was torn to pieces, the wind dragons would naturally calm down.

Hayata and the others also took this opportunity to rush into the cave.

This way, at least they don't have to worry about being besieged by a large group of wind dragons.

Sandstone also drilled out of the ground and returned to the team.

"Well done!"

Sandstone doesn't like being patted on the head, so Gale patted the devil muscle cat on the back, "It's just a bit of a waste of dummies. How many dummies did you bring?"

"Only one meow."

"Then how will we get out then?"

"I don't know meow."

Gale's eyes twitched, ". You are so confident."

"The air in the cave is not stuffy, and there is also air flow, which means that the ventilation is good. There must be other entrances and exits. Let's look for them." Alva smiled and said, "Maybe it can lead directly to the outside of the valley?"

"I hope so."

"It seems that this is indeed the territory of the Ice Fang Dragon." Hayata walked towards a boulder near the cave entrance, on which there was a conspicuous claw mark.

It was not the kind of footprint left unintentionally, but a "boundary monument" used to mark the boundaries of the territory.

There was still some pungent smell left.

Hayata collected some samples and put them into the insect guide cage. The light in the insect guide cage suddenly became much brighter.

If the Ice Fang Dragon appeared nearby, the insect guide would react immediately.

She nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone, "Let's take a break."

Coming to a relatively safe environment, the long-suffering Xixi finally couldn't help but speak, "Has anyone seen Xiao Zi? I didn't find it."

The other people looked at each other and shook their heads.

Alva thought for a while and said: "There are several possibilities. I just went out to look for food, so I didn't meet him.

Or, it lives in other communities. After all, this group of wind-drifting dragons is not the only one that migrates to the eternal frost and frozen soil.

It is also possible that he was ostracized by his ethnic group because of his heterochromia and wandered alone in the ice field. "

After a pause, Alva continued: "In my opinion, the probability of it being driven out of the tribe is the highest.

The Fengdiao dragon has a strong sense of territoriality and is a very exclusive flying dragon race. Individuals of different colors are likely to be regarded as 'outsiders' and therefore be expelled.

The reason why its mother appeared in the Ancient Tree Forest back then was probably for a similar reason. "

Xuanxuan pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing that Xuanxu was in a low mood, Alva comforted her: "Actually, I would say that for Xiao Zi, being expelled from the clan is the best result."

"Why do you say that?" Gale asked curiously.

"Social creatures generally have a strict class stratification. The strong enjoy the best food, and the weak are exploited.

As an 'other', it is almost impossible for Xiao Zi not to be ostracized by the tribe.

And it is an individual raised under the careful care of Xuanxuan. It has a good foundation and its development is far better than the Fengdiaolong that survives in the wild. It is also larger and stronger than individuals of the same age.

In other words, it's also a powerful guy. "

"Of course! Xiao Zi is very powerful!" Xuanxuan said proudly: "As soon as it hatched, I started feeding it a specially formulated nutrient!"

Alva didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment, "Uh, is it so particular? Okay, let's get back to the topic.

Therefore, if it stays in the group, it will be constantly suppressed by the superiors. Since it has the ability to resist, it is expected that fights will break out from time to time.

Injuries and being robbed of food are common occurrences. "

Hearing this, Xuanxu immediately became tearful.

Alva shrugged, "That's why I said that being expelled from the tribe and surviving alone is the best situation.

It is no longer a 'baby'. With a body length of more than fifteen meters, although it has not yet fully matured, it is already a truly large flying dragon. It has no natural enemies on this ice sheet.

You've taught it how to hunt, how to build nests, etc., right? "

"Yeah! Of course!"

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Maybe in a few more years of development, it will grow into an extreme individual with a body length of over twenty meters.

At that time, return to the group, kill the leader, and replace him or something."

"Oh, this sounds familiar!" Gale clapped his hands and laughed.

"A common plot in picture books and novels!"
