Chapter 607: Remembering a Revenge

"Ge Mantis? Not bad." The great elder expressed satisfaction with this straightforward name.

The names of crustacean and beetle monsters are basically in this "prefix plus type" format, shield crab, sickle crab, walled crab, heavy beetle, and piercing beetle.

Not wanting to listen to scholars analyzing the causes and consequences of various conclusions, the Great Elder directly asked the question he was most concerned about, "How dangerous is this monster, well, the Mantis Mantis? Will it cause serious damage to human settlements? "

The professor pondered: "It's hard to be sure. In terms of strength, Ge Mantis is no less powerful than a powerful ancient dragon species like Lanlong when controlling the ruins of the city. Laoshan Dragon is not as difficult to deal with.

However, it does not cause natural disasters like many ancient dragons, nor does it have the habit of regular migration. In the past historical documents, there has never been a record of a mantis or a mechanical behemoth attacking human cities.

Therefore, our judgment is the same as when the mechanical behemoth first appeared. The range of activity of this creature is relatively fixed. From this perspective, it is not too dangerous. "

The Great Elder frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the chief researcher of Longli Academy, "It is not appropriate to stop all archaeological excavations on the ancient village ruins indefinitely and risk angering the mantis."

"Okay Great Elder, Longli Academy will stop researching the ruins of the ancient village." The chief researcher agreed happily. This result was already within his expectation.

However, the archaeologists, including Ms. Duda, seemed a little regretful.

"Don't disturb it. Maintaining the situation is one thing. We also have to make plans for it to leave the ancient village and attack the city on a whim." The great elder said in a deep voice: "Do you have any good ideas?"

The professor shook his head lightly, "The suggestions and judgments of us scholars only remain at the theoretical level.

How to fight, how to fight off this kind of problem, why not ask the hunters who have faced it head-on? "

The Great Elder turned his eyes to the two hunters, "I almost forgot, Gordon, the six-star sword wielder, and Ancil, the six-star heavy crossbow wielder, you two performed well this time and brought back key information about Pavilion Mantis to the guild.

Although the mission itself is issued by Longliyuan, as the great elder of the Hunter Guild, I can't help but express my opinion. "

The great elder glanced at the staff standing aside, who nodded and left temporarily.

Not long after, she came back with a tray containing two inconspicuous brown-red coupons.

The guild director took the tray and solemnly handed the tickets placed in the tray to Gordon and Ancil.

At the same time, he explained: “This is the ‘Certificate of Courage’, a precious ticket that will only be given to those who demonstrate bravery beyond ordinary people.

You can think of it as a certificate of honor, and at the same time, it also has a more important purpose. "

The great elder leaned forward slightly and said, "You can use it and ask an old friend of mine to help you build equipment.

As for when to use it and how to use it, it's up to you, well, but I still suggest that it is at least the ancient dragon level material and it is better to ask him to take action, otherwise it will be a waste. "

Gordon and Ancil looked at each other, bowed gently and accepted the reward.

Although the great elder did not say it clearly, both of them could guess who the "old friend" the former mentioned was.

Long Shiren.

The hero of Kokot, the Great Elder, a powerful man of the same period, one of the founders of the Hunter Guild, and the founder of the modern hunter equipment system.

You can ask this legendary craftsman to build equipment.

Think about it, is there any ancient dragon that I am more confident that I can get rid of now?

"Okay, let's get back to the topic."

The great elder looked down at these two surprisingly young high-ranking hunters, "If I ordered you two to kill Pavilion Mantis, what would you do?"

"??!"

Gordon's face was full of astonishment, and Ancil even subconsciously asked, "Are you serious?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The great elder stroked his long beard and laughed, "Don't worry, even I won't issue such an order that clearly tells you to die.

What I mean is, if, if we have a reason to fight with them one day, what plans and ideas do you have? "

In the eyes of the great elder, as the only hunters in the world who have fought head-on with Mantis, Gordon and Ancil's ideas will be of great reference value.

When the two heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Anhil thought for a while and said: "I retreated earlier than Gordon and did not directly participate in the attack on the mechanical behemoth, so my thoughts are limited to the Mantis itself.

The carapace of the Pavilion Mantis is quite strong, far exceeding that of large flying dragons such as the Fire Dragon, but high-level weapons can still effectively break through defenses.

The main trouble is its ability to manipulate various items. If possible, try to fight it in an area lacking 'tools'.

The thunder attribute should be its weak point, which I stated in the report.

By the way, its suspected male brethren are also a bit troublesome. The mantis seems to have the ability to control its brethren through pheromones.

We can't confirm how many golden beetles exist in the underground caves. If you really plan to attack the Pavilion Mantis one day, be sure to take its kin into consideration, otherwise you will be in big trouble.

Well, that's about it. "

"Good advice, take note."

The great elder reminded the recording staff next to him, and then looked at Gordon.

"To be honest, well, I have been thinking about similar issues these days. Let me say something nonsense first. The mantis moving in its main body is much easier to deal with than the mantis controlling the ruins city.

If possible, killing it before it sets up the ruins city is the most labor-saving way."

"Of course, is there anything else?"

"Yes, my hunting cat Zhupa discovered that the mantis in the mechanical beast state has "nodes" on its body, which are the places where the silk threads converge.

As you all know, the mantis uses silk threads to control the ruins city. If we can destroy these silk threads, especially the nodes formed by the silk threads, there is a high probability that it can directly affect the ruins city.

And the largest node on its back, a giant cocoon with a diameter of nearly ten meters, This is where the mantis hides.

If we can smash it, we might be able to force it out. ”

“Very good, I remember that your report emphasized that the mantis's silk thread is not resistant to fire. The combination of these two may be the key to victory.”

“Another point is that the mantis has a strong learning ability, so strong that it is terrifying. I have also written down how it is reflected in the report.

My suggestion is to prepare as many battle plans as possible and switch them.

Don't think about using one tactic to the end, because that guy will soon come up with a countermeasure. In this regard, the old mountain dragon, whose brain is no different from that of a fish, can't compare at all.”

“Well, very critical suggestions, are there any more?” The expression of the elder became more and more satisfied.

Gordon tapped his forehead with his knuckles, "If you have to say something else, well, arrange as many people as possible, the kind with good skills.

The main body of the mantis is not a big problem, the problem is how to tear down its "home".

Well, that's all."

"Well, record it."

"Oh, by the way, Great Elder." Gordon spoke again at this time, "I have a request."

The last incident with Hayata made him realize that the old man's personality is not the kind of absolute strong one who has his way. When it is appropriate, he can still negotiate.

The Great Elder cast an interested look, "Hmm? Tell me."

"If the guild really plans to attack the mantis one day, can I be included?"

Gordon twisted his neck, "I am a little unwilling."

"Hehehe."

The Great Elder laughed dully, but those who knew him could see that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"What a vengeful little guy, ha, I'll remember it."
