Chapter 426 Killing a Bear with Bare Hands
"Prioritizing the search for victims actually has another purpose." Ancier continued.
"Another purpose?"
"The airship was shot down by Lan Long. Some of the information that the survivors paid attention to was not given time to feed back to the guild. Is it reasonable?
It's very possible that they made some additional discoveries during the time they were hiding around, right?
All in all, as long as the victims are found, there is a high probability that more information will be obtained, which is much more efficient than us running around in Lanlong's lair like headless flies.
In the final analysis, the most important issue is 'bringing the news back'. As Hayata just said, if the information is discovered but the person dies, what is the difference between that and not discovering it? "
Gordon picked up a branch, broke it off and threw it into the bonfire, "Then let's do this. After setting off tomorrow, we will go straight to the south area of the main peak of Lingfeng and use the cover of the mountain to search for the victims.
If the victim is dead and no more useful information can be obtained, we will look for a suitable observation point to conduct concealed, long-term, and long-distance observations, and we should be able to collect some intelligence. "
Alva was short and walked silently but quickly.
Suddenly, he heard some noise, so he immediately lay down and remained motionless.
Different from the "bush disguise" that was inconvenient and a little silly a few days ago, under the guidance of the professor, the practicality of his current disguise has been improved by several levels.
It was a khaki cloak, modified from the canvas Alva brought back from the wreckage of the airship.
It was dyed with mud and plant juices and wrapped around the body, looking like a rock covered with moss.
Similar stones are common around here, and as long as he stays still, he won't look out of place.
The movement disappeared, probably just some kind of small animal passing by.
Alva got up and continued moving forward. His goal for this trip was the berries in the forest.
There was still some food left in the airship wreckage, but the professor said that emergency food was crucial in the wilderness, so he had to find other substitutes.
In fact, he hoped to find some medicinal herbs more than food.
This magical plant is the main raw material for making recovery medicine. Eating it directly can also have a good healing effect. If you can find more of it, maybe the professor's injury can be slowly healed.
Of course he knew what medicinal herbs looked like, but the Lingfeng Mountains was a strange place. It was obviously rich in natural resources, but not even a single medicinal herb was found.
I don’t know if it’s bad luck or some other reason.
Alva thought sadly in his heart.
Maybe it's because of the abundant rain? There were a lot of berries in the forest, and Alva also collected a lot of mushrooms and pine cones, all of which were confirmed to be edible.
He put them all into the book bag beside him.
Just as he was about to return, a buzzing sound reached his ears.
"bee?"
Alva looked around and soon discovered a huge beehive on the branch of a big tree.
"Honey."
Alva licked his lips.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but honey rich in nutrients was the best nutrition and might make the professor feel more energetic.
By the way, how do you get honey? He hasn't tried it? If you start directly, you will be bitten to death by bees. What about smoke? But will the smoke column attract Lanlong here?
While Alva was hesitating, deep in the forest, a bloated figure staggered towards him.
He trembled all over and his limbs became stiff.
Blue bear beast.
what to do.
Alva forced himself to calm down. The Green Bear had poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell. It probably hadn't noticed him yet at this distance. It would be easy to smell him out if he hid. Now was the best chance to evacuate!
He began to back away slowly.
"Kacha."
With a crisp sound, half of the dry pine cone was trampled to pieces.
Alva and Blue Bearmon paused at the same time.
It's over.
Alva's face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly he remembered that the green bear beast could run in the forest much faster than humans.
You can't escape by running, and you can't show cowardice. Green Bearmon is not a high-level predator, and there are even records of ordinary people scaring it away.
He suppressed his fear and tried to open his hands to make himself appear larger.
Then he yelled at the green bear beast that was rushing towards him.
“Ahhhh——!”
"Ouch!"
Green Bearmon felt offended and rushed faster.
At this time, Alva had no choice but to turn around and run wildly. He couldn't help shouting as if he was giving up on himself, "Didn't I say I could scare you away? Why weren't you scared at all?"
He kept turning left and right between the big trees, trying to distance himself in this way.
Unfortunately, the effect was not good. With the size of Green Bearmon, it is not easily disturbed by the trees, and the distance between the two is still shortening.
Just when he was about to be overtaken by the Green Bear Beast, a figure rushed over and blocked the giant Green Bear.
Perhaps because the distance was too close and inconvenient, or perhaps because he felt it was unnecessary, the visitor did not draw his weapon, but directly hit the iron mountain with his shoulder, hitting the green bear beast in the face.
The protruding sharp teeth on the shoulder armor smashed into the green bear beast's flesh and blood, and it howled miserably and stopped.
However, the visitor did not intend to let it go so easily.
He stretched out his arms and clamped the Green Bear beast's neck, then clenched his fists and punched the Green Bear beast's head and face several times until the Green Bear beast's howl turned into a whimper, and then he relaxed. Open your hand.
Green Bearmon ran away quickly with its short tail between its legs.
Alva stared at this scene blankly, his mind a little confused.
Did this man just beat Blue Bearmon away with his fist?
"Huh--, it feels a little good."
The man took off his helmet with his blood-stained gauntlets, revealing a face that was quite familiar to Alva.
"Brother Gordon?"
"As expected, it's you, Alva." Gordon didn't say anything like "what a coincidence".
Rather, he had some guesses about the identity of the airship victims from the beginning - as witnesses of the Lanlong incident that year, the professor and Alva were the most suitable candidates to investigate the Lanlong incident.
Hayata, Ansir Pork Chop and the others also ran over.
"Is everything okay, meow? Are you hurt, meow?" Xianglan ran to Alva's side and patted him.
"I'm fine."
Alva, who had once again narrowly escaped death, was still trembling when he spoke. His mind was a little knotted, and he stuttered and asked a somewhat inappropriate question, "So, why... with fists?"
"Uh," Gordon gestured with his arms, trying to explain, "It's just, do you understand the distance? At that distance, it's not very convenient to pull out a big sword."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, meow."
Pig Chop exposed Gordon's lies mercilessly, "You can understand that he has some problems with his brain recently and needs to get used to it for a while."
"Senior Gordon, you are so messy." Hayata couldn't help complaining.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Gordon felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject, "This is Lanlong's lair, but it can't be said to be safe.
Alva, is there a suitable hiding place? We need to hide first and then discuss what to do next. "
"Yes! The professor and I found a good place, come with me!"
