Chapter 476 The Safest Location
The explosive effect of the high-density dragon-killing carbon exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, since it is said to be an attack that can severely damage the ancient dragon, this level of power seems to be natural.
The moment the mushroom cloud rose, the hunters were satisfied, but the village chief's lady was very angry.
They forgot to say hello to the village chief's lady in advance. The loud noise, fire and mushroom cloud really scared everyone in the village.
It is said that some tourists who did not know the truth thought there was an earthquake and ran out of the hot spring pool without wearing any clothes, causing a commotion.
The good-tempered village chief got angry in a rare moment and strictly ordered the hunters to stay away from the village next time if they want to conduct such a level of explosion test.
Of course, there will be no next time.
The material is already tight, and it's not like fireworks, so you can just play with it if you have nothing to do.
After confirming the power of high-density dragon-killing carbon, the administrator of the assembly hall immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the hunter headquarters in East Doruma.
At the flying speed of a peregrine falcon, it would take four days for the letter to come back and forth, plus it might take another day for the guild's senior management to meet and discuss.
Therefore, Mr. Administrator asked the hunters to take a good rest and make all preparations. In about five days, the next order should be delivered.
Just as he expected, on the fourth day, they received a letter from the guild headquarters.
According to Mr. Administrator, at this speed, the headquarters may have even skipped the meeting and discussion step.
The great elder gave the order directly, and the content was simple and clear.
——Execute it as soon as possible and blow up the Forbidden Skull.
The hunters, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately loaded up their weapons and luggage and embarked on the journey.
It is necessary to ensure speed, but also to avoid attracting Lanlong's attention prematurely and causing unnecessary trouble to the operation.
The hunters followed a similar approach as last time.
——Take an airship to the area near the Lingfeng Mountains. The airship lands early and walks the last twenty or thirty kilometers to enter the outskirts of the Lingfeng Mountains.
At the southern foot of the Lingfeng Mountains, somewhere in a hidden cave.
It is also a temporary campsite for hunters.
Gordon and others sat in a circle around the campfire, conducting necessary tactical discussions before each team mission.
The commander of this mission is still Hilda. Whether in terms of personal strength or experience in facing ancient dragons, she is more than a step ahead of the young hunters in front of her.
"There's not much to say about the tactics themselves. The most important terrain in the eastern area of the main peak has been basically explored."
Hilda spread out a map.
After collecting and summarizing the information from the previous trip to Lingfeng, although the level of detail of this map is still not as good as those of maps of commonly used hunting grounds, it is completely sufficient.
"We are now located in the southern outskirts of the Lingfeng Mountains, to the ruins southeast of the main peak. The straight-line distance is about fifteen kilometers. Considering the rugged terrain, it takes about seven or eight hours to walk.
It's easy to sneak into the ruins at night, blow up the so-called 'Forbidden Skull' and then evacuate, right? "Hilda said with a smile.
Gordon and the other three couldn't help but burst into laughter. It would be great if it could go so smoothly.
After Hilda spread out the map, she crossed her arms and said, "The next step is the most critical part, what to do if something unexpected happens.
First of all, this time, including the hunting cats, everyone brought cloaks for camouflage and grass juice to eliminate odors. In addition, they moved at night to minimize the risk of exposure as much as possible.
But we can't pin everything on Lan Long's "eyesore" and must be prepared for the worst. "
The three of them nodded.
"Needless to say, the most critical items in this battle are the materials for blending dragon-killing carbon. Thanks to Pig Chop for purifying the gunpowder rock, our easy movement is possible. Everyone, please say thank you Pig Chop."
"."
Under Hilda's gaze, the three Gordons looked at the pork chop and said in unison, "Thank you, pork chop!".
"Meow" Pig Chop was so embarrassed that all the hair on his body stood up.
"Okay, the joke ends here."
Hilda's expression became serious, "The three ingredients for blending the dragon-killing charcoal add up to only a dozen kilograms. Carrying it by one person will not affect the movement.
I suggest by"
"I'll carry it." Gordon said consciously.
".carried by Hayata."
"ah?"
As the strongest and most physically fit guy on the team, Gordon was already ready to be a coolie. How did he become Hayata?
Hilda ignored him and continued to explain: "There are two keys to this mission, one is to conceal the whereabouts, and the other is to conserve physical strength for emergencies.
Therefore, although it takes about six hours to reach the ruins by driving at full speed, I plan to divide the journey into two days, or in other words, two nights.
We only moved at night. On the first night, we walked eleven kilometers to reach this location. "
Hilda pointed to a mountain peak on the map, "Isn't this mountain shaped like a mammoth? That's why I call it 'Bobo Mountain'."
Well, the name is not important. The key point is that there is a closed cave at the foot of the mountain. I found it when I passed here before. It is very safe and can be used as a resting point.
No matter how long it takes us to get here, even if we don’t feel tired at all, we still have to stop, enter the cave to rest, recharge ourselves, and wait for the arrival of the second night. "
The three Gordons nodded in unison. Facing the threat of Gu Long, no one could be too cautious.
"The key is the second night. At this time, we are already quite close to the main peak, and the probability of Lanlong appearing will also increase greatly, so everyone must be alert.
The next part is the most critical part, listen carefully to me.
If Lanlong finds our traces and launches an attack, Gordon must rush out first to let Lanlong focus on you.
Ansel, the two of us will follow, don't get too close to Gordon, but don't let him out of our sight. To put it bluntly, it is a distance that can provide fire cover, understand?"
"No problem."
"Understood."
Gordon and Ansel responded one after another.
"What about me?" Hayata couldn't help asking.
"Hayata, you lie down and hide. When the three of us are moving, Lanlong is unlikely to pay attention to you who are still lying there.
No matter what happens, you can't stand up until we lead Lanlong away. Do you understand?
You, or more precisely, the materials for blasting on you, are the most important things in this operation.
As long as you can successfully blast that head, even if there are casualties among the three of us, it is worth it."
Hayata opened her mouth to say something, and Hilda had already turned to the Elu, "Pork Chop, Xianglan, you two follow Hayata.
Pork Chop, remember to protect yourself. Only you can mix the dragon-killing carbon. In other words, your importance is comparable to those blasting materials."
"I understand, meow."
"Okay, meow!"
After hearing Hilda's explanation, Gordon immediately lost interest in asking Hilda why she chose Hayata as a "coolie".
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that although Hayata has more than ten kilograms of weight, the task she was assigned is the safest.
He didn't ask, but Hayata wanted to ask.
She stared at Hilda's eyes, "Why, let me do this part."
Hilda waved her hand, "Don't think too much, it's not because you are a girl, nor because you are the youngest, nor because of strength.
This mission is more important than you think, all arrangements must be based on the success rate, you are the most suitable person."
Hayata continued to stare at her, obviously the former's vague statement did not convince her.
"Kids nowadays have such strong self-esteem? Then tell you in detail."
Hilda smiled helplessly, "Lanlong is good at flying and almost never lands. Therefore, archers who mainly use long-range attacks can play a greater role in containment than swordsmen.
So my and Ansel's mission is to provide fire cover, that's for sure, so the candidate can only be you and Gordon.
Gordon has stronger hard power and has a powerful dragon-attributed weapon like the epitaph, so he must be the main force against Lanlong.
It is true that he has experience in entering the ruins, but this cannot be a decisive factor, because Pig Chop also has it, and it is enough to lead the way.
At the same time, as a swordsman, you are more flexible and your speed of action is much faster than Gordon. In order to get to the ruins as soon as possible and complete the blasting, these two qualities are very critical.
Combining all the above, you are the most suitable choice. Do you have any questions?"
".No more."
