Chapter 605 Isn’t This Quite Interesting?

The giant cocoon is made entirely of that amazingly strong golden silk thread.

It is obvious that this is the "cockpit" prepared by the mysterious monster for itself, protecting itself from interference while operating the mechanical giant beast.

Faced with this tough silk thread that can break a hole in the peeling knife, Pig Chop has no desire to draw out the cat sword.

At this moment, it is extremely fortunate.

Although it learned to turn into a ghost a few days ago, it has scratched with its claws many times recently.

But in essence, it has always been a bomb cat.

"Bomb you, meow!"

Pig Chop took out all the incendiary bombs in the bag and threw them at the golden cocoon.

Flames rose above the cocoon.

However, what Pig Chop did not expect was that this silk thread would become fragile under the scorching of the flames, but it was not flammable.

The scene that it expected to burn the mysterious monster inside with the raging fire did not appear, but only burned several small holes on the golden cocoon.

"Roar--"

The giant mechanical beast, sensing danger, roared, and raised its sharp tail like a scorpion, stabbing down towards the position where Pork Chop was.

Pork Chop quickly jumped to dodge, and the falling steel tail directly smashed the boulder it was standing on.

"Scared to death!"

At this moment, a series of barking came from a distance.

"Woof! Woof!"

"It's Gale!"

Gordon's surprised shout came from below, "Pork Chop! Get ready to retreat!"

"Understood!"

Pork Chop jumped onto the giant cocoon, clung to the edge of the holes burned by the incendiary bombs, and looked inside.

Its sight met the mysterious monster in the giant cocoon for a moment.

"Ji Ya!"

The mysterious monster, with countless silk threads wrapped around its body, screamed sharply.

Pork Chop bared his fangs, not to be outdone, "Look at you, meow!"

As he said that, he threw a flash bomb in.

A strong light burst out from inside the giant cocoon, and the mechanical beast suddenly trembled violently. If it weren't for the golden threads still firmly fixing the various parts of the mechanical beast, it might have begun to disintegrate at this time.

Pig Chop jumped left and right, flying down quickly.

And Gordon, riding on Gale, was also running towards it.

"Roar--!"

The mysterious monster, who had recovered from the stun effect of the flash bomb, screamed angrily, and the sound turned into a low roar under the resonance of the metal components, resounding through the underground cave.

The steel tail, the dragon-striking spear, the silk thread, and all kinds of messy things smashed towards Pig Chop.

"Pork Chop! Jump!"

"Meow!"

At the same time that Pig Chop risked jumping down, Gale also jumped high, but the timing of the two was not very good, and they were about to cross each other.

Fortunately, Gordon leaned out in time and grabbed the tail of Pig Chop with his big hand.

"Meow meow meow?!"

Pork chop, who was held upside down, screamed, but Gordon had no time to pay attention.

"Gale! Run!"

"What happened!"

Ms. Duda asked loudly on the slowly rising airship, which was swaying from side to side.

The noise of the whistling wind and sand was endless. If you didn't shout like this, people around you wouldn't be able to hear you at all.

"It's hard to explain at the moment! The mechanical monster has appeared!"

Ansel pointed in the direction of the castle ruins, "Anyway, bring the airship over first, but don't lower it too low, at least 30 to 40 meters above the ground! Then lower the rope ladder!"

"Let's go tell the pilot!"

Duda brought Ansel to the pilot's side, and Ansel repeated the request just now.

"That height is too dangerous!"

The pilot tried to control the steering wheel while shouting: "It is dangerous to take off the airship under this wind. The terrain in the ruins is complicated and the low-altitude airflow is too chaotic!

If it hovers at a low altitude, it will easily get into trouble!"

Anshil was too lazy to argue with him and directly pulled Ms. Duda to one side, "That is an unprecedented ancient dragon-level creature!

Its core is an insect less than 15 meters long, but it can control tens of thousands of tons of stone and steel parts and assemble it into a behemoth that is no less than a super-giant ancient dragon!

Madam! You understand the danger of this creature. Only Gordon has fought with it and has information about it!

Whether it is for the guild, the Dragon Calendar Institute, or the countless towns in the southern part of the continent, this information is more important than anything else!"

Ms. Duda was surprised at the mysterious creature described by Anshil, and rolled her eyes helplessly.

This guy is full of nonsense, and the most important thing is that he speaks righteously and reasonably. Should I say that he is worthy of the bloodline of the Sterling family?

Although he had no intention of giving up on the hunter named Gordon, the other members of the advance team might not be willing to risk their lives to get close to save people.

So he had to use the great principles of "ancient dragon-level creatures", "information that only Gordon has", and "related to the safety of countless people" to convince everyone, right?

Ms. Duda poked Ansir's forehead with her finger, and then walked over to communicate with the driver.

With the concerted efforts of the crew, the transport airship shook and bumped, but continued to fly towards the direction of the castle ruins.

Ansir quickly came to the side of the ship, set up the heavy crossbow, adjusted the sight to a high magnification, used it as a telescope, and locked onto the wellhead leading to the underground cave.

This was their only entrance and exit.

The airship moved forward with difficulty, the bumps became more and more severe, and the speed became slower and slower.

The driver, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, was sweating all over his head, and the sweat was stained with fine sand blown by the strong wind, making him look gray.

He yelled at the top of his lungs: "We can't go any further! The airflow around large buildings is even more chaotic. If we get any closer, we'll be hit by the castle!"

"Hover as much as possible! Maintain altitude!" Ms. Duda responded loudly.

"With such a strong wind, we can't hover!"

"Then control the airship to circle!"

Ansel's eyes were fixed on the wellhead. He couldn't be sure whether Gordon, Pork Chop, and Liefeng could get out in time.

"Roar, rumble, rumble--!"

A low, muffled roar sounded faintly underground, and even the sound of the biting wind could not completely cover it up.

"What's that sound? An earthquake?!" A crew member with sharp ears asked loudly.

"I don't know!"

Then, the ground really shook violently.

In the area near the castle ruins, the ruins of the already dilapidated buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground was slightly raised, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Ansel's eyes turned to the raised ground, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Of course he knew what the giant that was about to break through the surface was, but

"Look! Someone ran out!" A crew member clinging to the side of the ship pointed in a direction and shouted loudly.

Anshil turned his head suddenly to look.

Gordon rode on the gale, carrying a pork chop, rushed out of the ancient well that had been dry for many years, and was running wildly towards the airship on the narrow road.

And behind them was the earth that was getting higher and higher.

"Get down the rope ladder!" Anshil shouted.

The heavy ladder was thrown down by the crew, but the length was slightly insufficient and it didn't even touch the ground.

"Quick! Go down a little more!"

"I'll try my best!" The pilot also shouted, and he slowly pushed down the elevator.

However, at this moment, a strong wind blew and lifted the airship up again.

"Boom boom boom!"

The ground cracked.

The first thing that emerged from the ground was a wedge-shaped head made of steel. It opened its huge mouth full of iron teeth and roared like a bell.

The people on the airship couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Although everyone had heard about the mechanical behemoth, "hearing about it" and "seeing it with one's own eyes" are two completely different things.

The airship was still rising slowly with the wind.

"Hey! Bastard! Descend quickly!" Ansel almost turned the gun barrel and pointed it at the driver.

"The wind is too strong! I can't descend, I'm going to lose control!" The driver's face was sweating, and there were grooves on his face covered with dust, making him look embarrassed and funny.

Just when Ansel was about to lose his mind and had dangerous thoughts like snatching the rudder.

The fierce wind chasing behind the airship seemed to have broken through some bottleneck, and its speed suddenly increased.

It didn't need anyone to command or remind it. It jumped onto the wreckage of a building with the help of the left and right forces, and used the broken stone roof as a springboard to leap up suddenly.

"Awoo!"

It used its teeth and front paws to climb up to the end of the rope ladder floating in the air.

"Great job!" Ansel almost jumped up, and he shouted with joy: "Quick! Quickly rise! Pull them up!"

The airship swayed in the strong wind, riding the wind, rising higher into the sky.

Below, the mechanical giant raised its neck and opened its huge mouth, trying to bite Gordon Gale and others hanging at the end of the rope ladder, but it was a step too slow and bit nothing.

It could only look at the transport airship that passed through the wind and sand, rose into the clouds, and finally disappeared at the end of the field of vision, and let out a series of unwilling roars.

"Roar buzz buzz--!!!"

A terrifyingly large tooth hound, an equally burly and fully armed heavy hunter, plus a hunting cat that could only be counted as a fraction.

The crew took a lot of effort to finally drag these guys who were sinking to death onto the deck of the airship.

Ms. Duda was just thankful that their rope ladder was made of iron chains and was strong enough. They would have used inferior cables.

Maybe they would have broken.

Gordon, Pork Chop, and Gale lay on the deck, breathing heavily.

Ansel's stinky face came into Gordon's sight.

The latter couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ansel couldn't help but curse.

"I fought hard and got nothing, but isn't this interesting!"

Ps.

Of course, it's impossible to beat that monster --

According to the description in the game, the guild summoned "unprecedented forces" including the air units of the Dragon Calendar Academy to finally complete the crusade.

It's too exaggerated to be able to hunt in pairs now.

The reason for letting the mantis appear once is that it is basically impossible to kill it in the first encounter in reality with the setting of this monster.

It is definitely necessary to first realize the existence of this thing, and then collect intelligence, organize forces, and arrange tactics in a targeted manner before it can be killed.

The plot of the real hunting of the mantis will take a long time to come, so it can be regarded as digging a pit first.

However, it is indeed mentioned in the setting that the ecological niche and combat effectiveness of the mantis in the normal state are lower than those of the ancient dragon, while the mantis in the "Ruins of the City" state is considered to be upper-class among the ancient dragons.

So, if it is really for practical considerations, it is the most correct approach to arrange a team of experts to find an opportunity to kill the driver before the Gundam starts (why do I think of the tomato shooting of the Mercury Witch?).

But the novel cannot be written like this, it is too vulgar and boring. Is the mantis without the Gundam still called the mantis?
