Chapter 1408 You Have to Know How to Lie
After resting for two days and relaxing their physical and mental fatigue, the hunters were about to launch what the professor called the "third stage" of operations.
There is only one ultimate goal - to disturb the ancient dragons who have come to the Demon-Gathering Land and have no peace.
Anhil, Gale, and the leader of the third phase of the regiment, who had conducted in-depth research on the Miasma Corpse Dragon and that special fungus, set out together.
They will fly all the way over the northern mountains and the Dragon Crystal Land on a pterosaur, and then pass through the vast land coral platform until they reach the Miasma Valley.
This trip is not a short one.
It was difficult for the leader of the third-phase regiment who was not diligent, but she was still in high spirits.
Even without considering the ultimate goal, the "topic" of cultivating a special individual ancient dragon is too interesting.
Scholars who let themselves go are very scary. Compared with their many and big ideas, Ancier's "Plague Plan" is not even worth mentioning.
It is all kinds of rules, laws and moral bottom lines that firmly restrict them.
If they are allowed to do whatever they want, many prehistoric civilizations that have been destroyed in the long history will serve as a warning.
This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the special operation, they could carefully uncover a corner of the rules and do some "exciting" research. Alva and the leader of the third phase of the regiment could not hide their expectations.
Even the oldest and calmest professor is no exception.
But he always warned himself in his heart that he must stay calm. If young people mess up, he can correct them, but if he also messes up, he can correct them.
What will happen next is hard to say.
Compared to Ancier and others, the actions of other hunters seemed much more routine.
The first step of the mission now is to operate covertly, sneak into various areas where the ancient dragons are active, and collect as much scales, blood, secretions and other substances that have a distinct aura of the ancient dragon species.
Then use these things to do something.
"This type of mission is not what we are good at. What to do is up to you." Gordon directly handed over the command to his senior brother Julius.
The three members of the alcohol team also looked like they were "what do you say we will do" and their minds were empty.
Julius felt a little helpless.
It is true that they are better at writing, but as captains of a high-level hunting team, might Gordon and Ted not know what to do at all?
Of course that's not possible, these guys are just too lazy to think about it.
"The goal is not to fight, but to operate covertly. Naturally, the more dispersed the personnel, the better."
After Julius sighed, he began to explain, "Next, we will no longer operate as a team, but will instead operate in groups of two, or even in groups of one person."
Ted raised his hand, "Hunting buddies, are you hunting buddies going with us?"
He was asking this question on behalf of Babaka. Unlike Yinbian, who had cats and dogs per person, Feng Ying and even both dogs and cats, their entire team only had one hunting partner, Babaka.
"No, in similar operations, hunting partners play a greater role than hunters. They can even sneak into the ancient dragon's lair without attracting the target's attention, so they will act alone."
"Okay."
Maka made an "understood" gesture, and then she asked Julius curiously, "Speaking of which, why doesn't your team even have a hunting partner?
Your mission in writing is mainly reconnaissance and investigation, right? Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a hunting cat as a hunting partner? "
Julius didn't like to waste time on topics other than the content of these tasks. Nadia explained for him:
“In our past missions, when we needed the assistance of hunting cats, we would directly cooperate with the guild’s hunting cat team to act together.
You can also choose suitable hunting cats as temporary partners according to different mission requirements.
As for a regular hunting partner, Aiden originally had a companion called Melalu."
When Aiden heard the mention of his former hunting partner, he smiled and waved his hand, "That guy, he wants to be a businessman more than a hunting cat.
So before joining the investigation team and coming to the New World, we separated, and he also pursued his dream of becoming a 'profiteer'. "
".I see."
"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Julius clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "I hope you will always keep in mind that ancient dragon species generally have very high IQs, and it is not easy to deceive them.
For example, we obtained several scales from the Flame King dragon, hoping to use these to stimulate the Ice Dragon.
Throwing these scales directly into the ice and snow area, or directly into the ice dragon's lair, will definitely not work.
It's like when you wake up from bed one day and find that there are a few more dragon teeth next to your pillow.
Your first reaction must be 'whose prank is this? ’, rather than ‘He came into my house in the middle of the night and took a bite out of my pillow’.
So everyone, please be more sincere when making various arrangements instead of throwing them away casually. "
"Uh, can you be more specific?" Urshula asked, having never done anything like this before.
Julius thought for a while, "Still using the Flame King Dragon Scales and Ice Dragon as examples, we can go to a location closer to the ice and snow zone, for example.
Well, let's just go to the hot spring pool where the frozen golden lion entity is located.
Rub some sulfur on the weapon to imitate the shape of the Yanwang dragon's paw prints, leaving some marks on the glacier of the frozen golden lion.
Then mix the dragon scales with the gunpowder and detonate them together to create some traces of the explosion attack, and then evacuate before the Ice Curse Dragon is attracted by the explosion.
In this way, the Ice Curse Dragon is misled and is more likely to think that the Flame King Dragon will pose a threat to its territory. "
"It's so complicated."
"In short, it is to set a scene in advance, and then try to create and imitate the appearance of that scene as much as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of misleading, do you understand?"
"I probably understand." Gordon nodded thoughtfully.
Oshura scratched his head, "I understand it, but I'm not sure I can do it well."
"It's okay, exchange ideas more, use your brains more, there will always be a way."
Julius continued: "For now, let's collect as many substances as possible that contain the breath of ancient dragons.
Without those, the subsequent plans are just empty talk."
Speaking of this, Julius showed a little smile on his face, "I have to say that the guide insects in the New World are indeed good things.
With their help, the work of collecting breath substances has become much simpler. We just need to pay attention to hiding and not expose ourselves to the ancient dragons easily.
By the way, Gordon, you have to pay special attention to this aspect. "At this point, Julius turned to look at Gordon.
"Me?" Gordon pointed at himself.
"Your [Mad Mark] is too strong. It may be able to completely restrain the breath at ordinary times, but once other powerful creatures appear nearby, it will be "excited", right?"
"Uh, yes"
Gordon subconsciously touched the armor on his body, "Although this kind of "excitement" will not have any effect on me, it does attract the attention of other ancient dragons and cause the risk of exposure."
"Do you have spare protective gear?"
"No."
Julius stared at him, and his eyes seemed to say-I told you a long time ago to prepare well.
Gordon looked away awkwardly.
Before setting off, I never thought that there would be such a mess of tasks. I thought that as long as I fought, it would be over.
"How about I go without armor? "Gordon suggested.
"No!" Hayata glared at him angrily, "Are you going to die?"
"Yeah"
Julius hesitated for a moment and raised his head, "How about this, Ted, you are not good at stealth operations, right?"
Ted raised his head proudly, "Of course! A real man should fight head-on!"
"You and Gordon, two people in a group." Julius pointed at the two and said, "You find a way to find the Nergigante, fight it, and repel it.
There should be a lot of bone thorns, blood, broken scales and the like left at the scene.
Compared to picking up quietly, this more direct method is more suitable for you. "
