Chapter 428 Suspicious Area

Gordon called his companions over.

"You are still ready to take a risk, right?" Anxier stared at Gordon.

"Yes."

Gordon did not deny it. He took the map and repeated what the professor had just said to him, "We are now in the eastern area of ​​the main peak. This is a good opportunity.

So I plan to scout this area tonight.

Although it is not clear what the thing that angered Lanlong is, I don't think it is some kind of monster. If the luck is not too bad, there should be some gains."

Anxier pinched the corner of his eyes and thought for a moment, then exhaled.

"This judgment is reasonable. If it is some kind of monster that angered Lanlong, they should be creatures of at least the same level, and they will definitely fight until one of them dies or leaves, so it can basically be ruled out.

Moreover, if the professor's judgment that Lanlong is unwilling to approach the area east of the main peak is correct, then searching in this area should indeed be safer.

Putting aside personal wishes, I support reconnaissance. The only question is why it is at night."

"So far, the sightings of Lanlong are basically during the day."

The professor explained for Gordon: "Although it cannot be directly asserted that Lanlong will not act at night, at least from the probability point of view, night reconnaissance has positive significance."

"And because of Lanlong's anger, there should be no dangerous monster activities in the Lingfeng Mountains at present, and night reconnaissance will not be more dangerous than daytime." Gordon added.

"For this reason, I have no problem." Ansel nodded.

Gordon looked at Hayata.

"I don't have any objection."

Hayata thought for a moment and called Alva, who was roasting pine cones, over. "Mr. Alva, you have been active in this area these days. Can you help us draw the general terrain?"

Alva pushed his glasses. "I will try my best, but the terrain in Lingfeng Mountain Range is too complicated. There are columnar cliffs everywhere. I can't draw every cliff, but the general idea should be OK."

"That's enough."

"Wait a moment."

Alva took out a pen and paper from his book bag. Gordon and the others didn't expect that this guy would still carry these things with him in this situation.

"This is the main peak. Lanlong lives on the top of the peak. Don't get close to this direction."

Alva first drew a series of high mountains with simple strokes, and then drew a small triangle on the other side of the paper.

"We are currently in this small triangle. Well, I'll call it the camp. Five or six kilometers west of the camp, you will enter the foothills of the main peak. Don't go there.

Go southeast, through a dense stone forest, you will enter a relatively flat forest, which is where I encountered the blue bear beast when picking fruits before.

To the southwest, there is a secondary peak. Not far after crossing that peak, you will find the place where the airship crashed.

To the north, uh, there are also continuous stone forests and a big river. The professor and I witnessed a group of dog dragons there. There were four or five of them. They should not pose any threat to you.

That's about it."

Pork Chop, who was watching Alva drawing, stretched out his little paw and patted Alva on the shoulder.

"The topographic map you drew is much clearer than Gordon's."

"Ah, ah? Thank you."

Gordon pinched Pig Chop's ears and put on a straight face to hide his embarrassment, "In short, after we set out from the camp, there are three directions we can scout.

The stone forest and woodland in the southeast, the sub-peak in the southwest, and the stone forest and river in the north. My suggestion is to give up the southeast direction for the time being and focus more on the sub-peak in the southwest and the stone forest in the north."

"Huh? Why?" Alva couldn't help asking.

The professor glanced at his stubborn apprentice, "Because you came from this direction, and you have been running the most in this direction these days.

Since you didn't find anything unusual, it is natural to reduce the priority of this direction."

"Oh."

After scolding Alva, the professor looked at the hunters again, "Thank you for your hard work in night reconnaissance. Take Alva's camouflage cloak. Wear it at night, and even if the Lanlong flies over your head, you may not notice it.

I will take the remaining canvas and make a bigger one for Gordon. As for Mr. Heavy Crossbowman, it should not be necessary. The Swift Dragon Armor is the best concealed night travel equipment."

"That's it, take the time to rest, and set off for reconnaissance after it is completely dark.

If everything goes well, we can return tomorrow!"

The sun sets, and the night shrouds the Lingfeng Mountains.

Gordon and his party left the temporary camp and set off quietly.

Maybe it was because Lanlong had the ability to control wind and rain, but before the storm, the sky of Lingfeng Mountain was incredibly clear.

As far as the eye could see, there was not a single cloud.

The waning moon hung high in the sky, and countless stars formed a sea of ​​starlight.

The silver-blue glow enveloped the earth, and even Gordon and his friends, who had traveled all over the continent and were used to seeing beautiful scenery everywhere, could not help but feel a moment of distraction.

"Huh."

Gordon exhaled lightly.

If it weren't for the threat of Lanlong, he really wanted to stop and appreciate the starry sky in front of him.

After looking left and right and confirming the direction, Gordon made two gestures.

To the north.

The three people and two cats set off silently but quickly.

They planned to go to the stone forest and the river basin north of the camp for reconnaissance first. As for why they didn't go to the southwest sub-peak first.

There was no special reason, Gordon chose it randomly.

Zhu Chop and Xianglan, as usual, went forward a distance to scout in advance.

They wanted to avoid accidents like the dog dragon group as much as possible.

It's not that they are worried about safety, but they don't want the blood smell to attract the Lanlong after the battle.

Although there is no evidence that Lanlong has a keen sense of smell, out of caution, it is assumed that Lanlong's vision, smell and hearing are extraordinary.

It's always right to be cautious.

With the map provided by Alva, Gordon and his party soon arrived at the target stone forest.

But they didn't know what they should look for specifically, so they had to disperse a little and try to find something that could be called "abnormal".

This search lasted for several hours, and the hunters would gather together.

They found a hidden rock hollow to hide temporarily and exchange their findings.

"I didn't find anything unusual here."

"Me neither."

"Nothing, meow."

Gordon covered his face, "It seems that there is no gain. There is no point in continuing here. Let's turn south to the secondary peak that Alva mentioned."

Ansel's expression became more serious, "What if there is still no discovery in the south?"

Gordon was silent for a moment, "Then turn to the southeast woodland. I plan to search at least this suspicious area east of the main peak.

Even if there is nothing worth mentioning, at least a more detailed map can be compiled to help hunters who will re-scout this area later.

As for the final result, there is no need to be too stubborn. If there is no discovery, we will prepare to leave the sacred peak."

"Yeah."

Ansel smiled, "Let's simply record the terrain nearby first, as we may forget it later."
