Chapter 477: Many Backup Plans Are Needed

"This is the so-called 'backup plan'. As for how to deal with Lan Long, it is not something that can be planned. We can only say that everyone adapts to circumstances and acts according to the situation.

Or do you have any other suggestions? It doesn't matter even if it's not very reliable, maybe it will be an opportunity to save a life when the time comes. Hilda asked, looking at the young hunters.

Anhil immediately stretched out his finger and drew a few small circles on several locations on the map. "These locations have complex terrain, and stone cliffs and pillars can be seen everywhere. Compared with flat areas, they are more suitable for us and Lan." Dragons circle around.

I think we can plan a few routes so that when we lure and delay Lanlong, we won't run around like headless flies. "

"A very good idea."

Hilda nodded with a smile and added: "In a while, we will divide the road leading to the ruins into several sections, and each section will have to roughly plan a route to lure the enemy.

Wherever you encounter the mist dragon, take the corresponding route, at least be aware of it. "

"There are two other places we might be able to go."

Gordon also spoke, and he moved closer to the map, "To the east of the main peak, there is a large rock mountain with a cave inside, which may be used as a temporary respite and hiding place.

The rocky mountain was very strong, and Lanlong's storm was probably ineffective. He might be able to break the mountain with his breath, but it would take a lot of effort. "

"It's the cave where the professor and Alva hid that time, right? It's a good place." Anhil nodded his chin in agreement.

Hilda stared at the map, "It's a little close to the ruins, but it's always good to have multiple backup shelters."

"And this place."

Gordon then pointed to a location not far from the main peak, south of the main peak, "This is the crash site of the professor's reconnaissance airship.

Before Alva left Yuyun Village, he told me that there were some weapons on the airship that might be of some use. "

"Armed? What kind of armed?" Hilda's eyes lit up.

Of course she knew that the reconnaissance airship could not be equipped with fortress-level defense facilities such as dragon-breaking cannons and dragon-striking guns.

Should it be a heavy bed crossbow?

"There is a heavy bed crossbow at the end of the deck. According to Alva, although half of the airship was broken into pieces, the heavy bed crossbow is still intact and should be able to be used."

Gordon's words confirmed Hilda's guess, while Ancil on the side was a little hesitant.

"The structure of the heavy-duty bed crossbow is not too sophisticated. If it is not severely damaged, it should be usable. That's right.

But do we really need to rush there for a heavy bed crossbow?

Whether it's Instructor Hilda's Horned King Bow or the King Tooth Cannon I brought this time, when using high-power ammunition, the attack effect will not be inferior to that of the bed crossbow, right? "

"If it's just used to fire ordinary crossbow shells, it's really unnecessary."

After Hilda responded casually, she asked Gordon: "Did Alva tell you what kind of crossbow bombs are on the airship? Well, those are the two kinds of crossbow bombs that are suitable for the heavy bed crossbow. Are there restraint bombs?"

"Yes, although there is only one pair."

Gordon said with certainty: "Alva mentioned this specifically. He said that when he returned to the wreckage of the airship to search for supplies, he wanted to cut off the rope of the restraining bomb and take it away.

But the rope was twisted with steel wire, and the knife he carried couldn't cut it, so he had no choice but to leave it there. "

Hilda clapped her hands with satisfaction, "If there is a chance, we can indeed lead Lan Long there.

Of course, it is wishful thinking to rely on a heavy bed crossbow and a pair of restraint bombs to restrain Lan Long. If the bed crossbow is fixed on the ground, with Lan Long's strength, he will probably break free soon.

But the crossbow whirring on the half-broken airship might have some unexpected effects. "

An Xil said with some uncertainty: "You mean, instead of fixing the Lanlong in a certain position, you would hang the wreckage of the airship on the Lanlong?"

"That's right, Lanlong's flight does not rely on its wings, but is like a fish in the water, riding on the wind. This flying method is more flexible, but it is also more difficult to maintain its posture.

Those gorgeous and complex spiny fins play a balancing role.

If a heavy object like the wreckage of an airship could be hung on its main fins, not to mention directly forcing it to fall, it would at least make its flight less smooth. "

This might be a good plan.

The discussion continued, and eventually even Hayata, who was feeling a little depressed, joined in.

She put forward another idea - due to the existence of Lanlong, the Lingfeng Mountains have abundant precipitation, and there are many rivers, lakes and other water bodies. In critical moments, you may be able to dive into the water to escape.

This is a trick that hunters often use when they encounter a crisis.

But Hilda doesn't really recommend this approach.

After all, according to the historical documents and legends of the Western Continent, Lanlong seems to have the habit of summoning storms, churning up the sea, and dragging schools of fish into the air to catch prey.

Diving into the water to escape may not be useful. At most, it can only be used as a "gamble" solution in desperate situations.

Hayata lowered her head slowly.

Hilda patted her back hard and said, "There is still time. If you have time to feel lost, why not think hard!

The same goes for you two, get your brains moving and think quickly! "

The sun has already set below the horizon, and the remaining sunset glow on the horizon is being swallowed up by the night.

The hunters, who had rested well and were full of energy, walked out of the cave where they camped one after another. They were wearing camouflage cloaks specially made by the professor, so their appearance was somewhat strange.

Everyone hoped that this camouflage could help them hide from Lanlong's ears and eyes, so that the danger of this mission could be reduced to a lower level.

But for some reason, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts - if nothing unexpected happened, something would happen this time.

"Pork chop, help Hayata check her backpack again, be careful, and make sure that the straps and buckles are firmly fixed." Hilda reminded.

"Okay meow."

Pork chop ran behind Hayata, who also half-crouched down to facilitate its inspection.

It was a square hard leather backpack, which was specially customized by the owner of the processing shop in Jieyun Village during the days of waiting for the order to arrive.

Soaked in kerosene, purified gunpowder rock powder, two kinds of monster bone marrow, dragon-killing fruit, and long fuses were placed in special compartments, and the gaps were filled with a lot of buffer materials.

Minimize the risk of collision as much as possible.

After removing the partitions and fillers, this hard backpack can serve as the shell of the dragon-killing carbon, just like the barrel of a large barrel bomb, maximizing the explosive power.

The backpack also has kerosene wind lamps for lighting, flares, ropes, iron picks for excavation, etc. If it weren't for the sword on his back, he would look like a standard explorer.

The person who carried these "sundries" before was Gordon, and now the backpack has been transferred to Hayata. This explorer-like outfit inexplicably pokes his funny point.

He couldn't help but "puff", and Hayata rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"Okay, little guys, stop making eyes, stay alert at all times, and let's go."
