Chapter 557 Final Preparation

"Are these corpses going to be disposed of?" Xia Zuo put away his swords and asked the stunned sledgehammer.

"Huh? Ah, these are two hunters. I will not participate in the harvesting. Thank you for your help!" The sledgehammer who had just come back to his senses waved his hands and said.

"I mean, maybe the smell of blood could attract more monsters."

Hearing this, the Sledgehammer scratched his head and said: "That's not possible. The land near the old village is barren and there are not many small monsters. Occasionally, there will be a winged snake dragon flying from a distance, aiming at the 'human smell' here. patronize.

If you are worried that it is not safe, it will burn down in a while. "

Xia Zuo nodded, then turned to look at Ajiaxi, his eyes motioning to the body of the Pterosaurus on the ground.

Agassi shrugged and said there was no demand.

Xia Zuo then said to the sledgehammer: "The material of the Pteranodon is of no use to us. Please help yourself if you need it."

The sledgehammer was stunned for a moment and noticed the advanced equipment on Xia Zuo and others that he had never seen before. He smiled and rubbed his hands, "You're welcome then!"

Although the Pterosaurus is not a powerful monster, its skin is very tough after being tanned. With some other materials, it can be used to make equipment that is considered to be quite good at the second or third level.

Even if it is not used as equipment material, it can be sold to recyclers. This kind of striped leather is very popular in the market.

Xia Zuo and others did not leave immediately. They still had some questions to ask the sledgehammer.

He doesn't look like a hunter from Micheng. He may be from a nearby village and seems to be familiar with Jiuzhai and the surrounding environment.

After handling the corpses of the wyverns, the sledgehammer grabbed a handful of dry sand from the ground, rubbed the blood off his hands, raised his head and said with a smile: "You are the elites sent by the guild, right? That’s awesome!

My name is Adkins, and I come from a little-known village south of Senqiu. You can just call me Akin. "

The sledgehammer who calls himself Ajin looks to be in his thirties. Judging from his equipment, he should be a two-star or three-star hunter. He is probably a voluntary participant in the war.

"Take care of Mr. Ajin."

Xia Zuo nodded and did not put on airs because the other hunter's level was not high. "I am Xia Zuo. As you said, I was sent by the guild. I just got here last night. I have some questions that I would like to ask a familiar person for advice."

"Just ask!"

Perhaps because of Xia Zuo and others' status as elite hunters, or perhaps because of the kindness of helping him from the claws of the Winged Serpent and giving him materials, Ah Jin behaved quite enthusiastically.

"In the past few days, will small monsters appear more frequently than before?"

Ah Jin thought for a while, nodded and said: "There will be a little bit, mainly the Pterosaurus. A week or two ago, you might not see one in two days. In recent days, it has appeared several times a day."

Xia Zuo nodded, he was not surprised by this answer.

This is the habit of Pterosaurus. They follow Laoshanosaurus out of the mountains and fly around to hunt for food. The radius of their activities can reach hundreds of kilometers.

As Laoshanlong gradually approaches, it is normal for the frequency of these flying monsters to increase.

"Besides Pterosaurus, have any velociraptors appeared?"

"Basically not."

This time Ah Jin answered quickly, "I came to Jiuzhai almost twelve or three days ago, well, I was escorting an engineering team.

From that day to now, the Velociraptor has only appeared once in the old village. It was an old blue Velociraptor that broke away from the group.

I heard from the brothers patrolling here that there are very few monsters within a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the only ones that need to be careful about are the Pterosaurs. "

"You can't even see small monsters. Is this place so barren?" Hayata underestimated it in a low voice.

Gordon explained to her in a low voice: "He may have misunderstood. Monsters are rare nearby. It is probably not due to the barren land. There are also yellow velociraptors and sand fish in the desert.

If I guessed correctly, it should be because of the aura of the ancient dragon. "

Hayata was stunned.

Jiuzhai, as the place where humans have fought against Laoshan dragons and other ancient dragon-level creatures over the past hundreds of years, has long been soaked in the blood of ancient dragons.

After decades, these auras will not have any negative impact on monsters, but they can easily make them feel uneasy.

Of course, except for the pterosaurs and velociraptors surrounding Laoshanlong, they are used to it.

What Gordon could think of, the more experienced Xia Zuo could naturally think of.

But he did not correct Ajin's statement. After all, for the hunters before being promoted to six stars, the information about the ancient dragon species was semi-confidential.

The word "ancient dragon" has never been mentioned in the guild's public descriptions of super-giant ancient dragons such as Laoshanlong and Fengshanlong that were too large to conceal their existence.

Instead, it is described as "some kind of super giant monster with an extremely long lifespan".

"I see."

Xia Zuo thought for a moment, then called Evelin and Pig Chop and said, “The plan to reduce the number of small monsters can be prepared in advance.

According to Mr. Akin, the distribution of the Pterosaurus may be scattered. The velociraptor group is expected to rush over in a large group. Some of them must be eliminated first, otherwise they will cause too much interference. "

Evelin discussed it with Pig Chop in a low voice and nodded, “Understood, we will start adjusting explosive bombs today, and first confirm a few locations where baits and explosive barrels are placed.

It would be best to find more manpower and detonate them at several locations at the same time, so as to maximize the killing effect. If the detonations are dispersed, I am worried that the velociraptor group will be frightened and run around. "

"If you need help, we can help!"

Ajin suddenly said, "There are many hunters like me who escorted the caravan here and stayed to help.

Although most of us are useless guys and probably can't do anything about that old mountain dragon, but if it's about moving things, setting traps, and baits, there will definitely be no problem!"

Xia Zuo admired Ajin's willingness to help. He nodded to him and expressed his gratitude. Then he turned to look at the others, "Everyone has confirmed the facilities of the city wall and the battle street.

Zhucho, let me go to the warehouse to get the materials for blending bombs.

Evelyn, go and confirm the setting of traps. Don't forget to mark the location of the bait and the bomb on the map, and communicate it to the guild later.

Gordon, go find Miles and ask him to help select a few reliable shooters. Don't forget to rehearse the process of detonating the bombs at the same time. "

"Okay!"

"Understood."

"Mr. Ajin, please find more people. Come directly to the warehouse after you find them. In a few days, the old mountain dragon and groups of velociraptors and pterosaurs will come. We have to hurry up."

"No problem!"

Under Xia Zuo's arrangement, Gordon and others, who were originally a little confused and unsure of what they should do in the next few days, suddenly became busy.

The busiest person is Miles.

Due to his special status among the local shooters in Minagard, he has now become the leader of the shooter hunters in the old fort.

Arrange artillery positions and shooting positions, plan attack waves, debug facilities, organize and rehearse attacks and transition processes, and a lot of things for him to worry about.

Xia Zuo's work is similar, but he is responsible for the swordsman part.

Thanks to the efforts of these two old hunters, the scattered and chaotic hunters from all over the old fort were gradually organized and gathered together.

And in the mountains north of the fortress, the old mountain dragon was getting closer and closer.
