Chapter 554 Busy Construction Site

The crossbow bullet hit the male fire dragon's head accurately, and a dark yellow smoke with a smell and color that was shocking was exploded.

"Roar!"

The male fire dragon shook its head desperately under the stimulation of the stench, and even its flying movements were affected, up and down.

The hunters who were waiting to see the old guy show his skills looked at each other in surprise.

No one expected that Miles would first use fertilizer bullets. This kind of crossbow bullet is not commonly used. The fertilizer ball used for throwing is slightly more commonly used, but neither of them seems to be a prop that hunters carry with them on a daily basis.

For a journey of just a few hours, have you even prepared this?

Slowly loading a grenade into the Swift Dragon Heavy Crossbow, the old hunter pulled the crossbow bolt to load it, and his eyes did not leave the red dragon rolling and flying in the dark clouds.

Is it unable to bear the stimulation of the stench and leave? Or is it angry and launches a fierce attack?

"Roar--!" The male fire dragon roared, flapped its wings, and swooped towards the airship.

"Well, you chose to attack after all?" Miles locked the target with a scope, "Then we can only use force."

"Meow!"

With a sharp cat cry, Pork Chop jumped onto the side of the ship and threw out the small prop in his hand.

Two or three seconds later, a strong light burst out, and the male fire dragon, which was flying closer and closer, screamed, lost its balance, flapped its wings randomly, and continued to fall down.

Miles seized the opportunity and fired a armor-piercing grenade.

The hunters all stuck their heads out of the side of the ship and looked down.

The male fire dragon lost its vision under the influence of the flash bomb and was dizzy by the detonated armor-piercing grenade. It fell hundreds of meters before it barely recovered its flying posture.

Compared to the stench of the fertilizer bomb, the strong light that deprived it of its vision and the attack that made it dizzy made it feel more afraid.

The male fire dragon realized that this was not an opponent with only size.

It flapped its wings with a strange cry, and under the gaze of the hunters, it flew into the clouds below and flew away.

The crisis was resolved.

Miles put away the crossbow, rubbed the little head of the pig chop, and said with a smile, "A group of upper hunters, combined, are not as useful as you."

The upper hunters looked at each other awkwardly, and it was difficult to refute.

They also carried some props in their prop bags, which could not be said to be empty, but most of them were basic supplies such as recovery medicine and whetstones. Not many people carried flash bombs with them.

Even if they did, they did not think of using them because they "trusted" the old hunter too much.

As a result, an old man and a cat saved a whole ship of young and strong elites.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Gordon could only imitate Miles's behavior. Tiger touched the pig chop and praised it a little exaggeratedly.

Others followed suit and touched the pig chop.

More than an hour later, when the airship landed at the destination, the hair on Pig Chop's body was still messy.

With an indignant face, Pig Chop walked down from the airship and Gordon looked around.

After the introduction by the president, they all knew that both the new fort and the old fort were built on the canyon, and they were at the bottom of a canyon at this time.

The ground was obviously leveled by humans. Although there were no bricks and stones, there were weeds and shrubs in many places, which at least would not affect the movement.

The business roads in the wild basically look like this.

The cliffs on both sides are not too high, the highest point is about 30 to 40 meters, and some defensive fortifications can be seen on the top of the cliffs, such as artillery turrets.

"Where are we?" Hayata asked the doubts in his heart.

The guild member who was traveling with the upper hunters pointed in a direction and explained, "We are now in the battle street between the two city walls. We can see the city wall after we turn the corner over there.

That is the second city wall of this old fortress and also the final line of defense of the old fortress.

There is a large open space in front of the city wall, but it is now in a mess and there are many people there, so it is not convenient for the airship to land, so please go a little further."

Hayata nodded slightly stiffly.

She was not very used to the way others used honorifics to communicate with her, but others had long been accustomed to it.

The upper hunters belonged to the high-end force that protects humans, and it was very common to be respectfully addressed as "Mr. So-and-so".

The group walked forward together, and before they turned the corner of the naturally formed canyon, the noisy voices and mechanical sounds in front of them had already reached their ears.

"It smells like wine!" Ted licked his lips and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Myers glared at him fiercely, but unfortunately he didn't see it.

After turning the corner, the view suddenly became clear.

This is a flat open space of tens of thousands of square meters, or a square.

The square is roughly olive-shaped. After turning the corner, they are at one end of the long section, and the other end is the city wall mentioned by the guild members.

The city wall is very tall, and the height of the top of the wall from the ground is nearly 40 meters.

The huge wall made of limestone bricks is full of mottled marks. Countless craftsmen climb on it like ants, relying on ropes and scaffolding, seizing every minute to reinforce the wall.

In the middle of the wall, you can see two giant dragon-striking spears made of steel, which are the most critical weapons of the fortress.

However, the condition of these two dragon-striking spears does not look very good. The spear body is rusty, and the spear head that should have flashed a sharp cold light also looks a bit worn and blunt.

One of them is still in an extended state, and it seems to be faulty. Several craftsmen and engineers are hanging next to it, busy repairing it.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but frowned. He looked at the guild members who were traveling with him and asked in a low voice: "Lao Shanlong will arrive in four or five days. Aren't the preparations here completed yet?"

The guild member smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xia Zuo, after all, it is an old fortress that has been abandoned for many years. There are problems with the walls, the dragon gun, and even the underground steam boiler.

The engineering team has been working overtime for more than half a month to repair the problem. The person in charge said that the repair work will be completed before Lao Shanlong arrives. "

"I hope so." Xia Zuo sighed softly.

Everyone is trying their best, but it can only be said that Lao Shanlong's appearance this time is too sudden.

Some people are worried, while others seem heartless.

After seeing something, Ted rushed out like a crazy wild boar, "Ouch!" Miles, whose face turned black, didn't even hold him back.

Heinee, whose personality is basically a female version of Ted, followed closely behind.

Gordon looked around and finally knew what attracted them.

Dozens of simple tents were set up on the edge of the square, which had turned into a large construction site.

There were several bonfires as tall as half a person burning there. Dozens of hunters, together with the craftsmen on shift, sat around the bonfires, drinking, barbecuing and chatting.

That's where the smell of alcohol came from.

Not to mention Ted, Gordon was a little excited - it looked so lively there, like a bonfire party.

Noticing the eagerness of the younger guys in the team to try, Xia Zuo sighed, "Go ahead, don't drink too much, we have business tomorrow."

"I know you can drink it, just hold it back."

After Yamos reminded Gordon, he said to Hayata: "You too, don't become an alcoholic like them."

Gordon chuckled and glanced at Hayata. Hayata pretended not to notice and looked away, and several people ran over laughing.

Noticing their arrival, the hunters around the campfire squeezed each other to make some space for Gordon and the others to sit down.

Ted, who was one step ahead, had already raised his glass and drank it while the people around him cheered.

"Chaka, baba, baba."

The little Chimeng, wearing an empty wine barrel as a mask, swayed and walked around Ted.

Pork Chop, who had just sat down on a wooden box, sniffed and felt something was wrong. He jumped off the wooden box and opened the edge of the lid to take a look.

When he found out that it was filled with artillery shells, he jumped in shock, "You guys are so stupid?!"

The strange hunters around burst into laughter.
