Chapter 764 Hunter in the Ancient Tower
Then, it was the part that Gordon and his team had known many times.
In the ruins outside the ancient tower, a red dragon fell from the sky and easily killed the swift dragon.
Seeing this, Gene decisively chose to retreat, but was stopped by the dragon. After a fierce fight, Gene rushed into the huge ancient tower with Nanasi and played hide-and-seek with the big dragon.
However, the big dragon's sense of smell was frighteningly sensitive. They could not completely get rid of the beast's pursuit, and finally had to find a small and sturdy room to hide in temporarily.
However, the dragon's persistence in prey was famous, and they were trapped.
Gene realized that their supplies could not last for too many days, and the ancient tower ruins were too remote, so it was meaningless to send a distress signal flare.
So he proposed that he would take the initiative to attract the attention of the big dragon, and Nanasi would take the opportunity to escape from the ruins and return to the camp, and take an airship to the big city for help.
This was the only way.
The worst case scenario is that the reinforcements arrive too late and he can't hold on, but it's better for one person to die than for both the person and the cat to die.
At least the hunting partner can escape safely, right?
Nanasi must have realized his master's negative thoughts, so he was cowardly by nature and did something as reckless as breaking into the Grand Elder's Palace.
"Four days have passed." Gordon crossed his arms in distress. "Even if we start the rescue immediately after arriving at the forest, including the time it takes for the airship to travel, it will be six or seven days after the incident.
It's a bit troublesome. How much food did Gene carry with him? What about drinking water?"
"Big, probably four or five pieces? Drinking water is only... I only have the water bag I carry with me, and my dried fish and water are all left behind."
"Recovery medicine can also be used as drinking water at critical moments." Ansel, who also had the experience of being blocked by two swift dragons, said: "But nearly a week is quite extreme anyway."
"Can the airship land directly at the ruins of the ancient tower?" Hayata suddenly suggested, "This is the most direct way. Not only can it save at least half a day, but it can also avoid being "arranged" to the greatest extent."
Hilda was silent for a long time, and then said: "It is not allowed according to the regulations. The approach of the airship may anger certain beings, and it may also It is very likely to be attacked by flying dragons.
Let's do this. The airship will fly to a place ten kilometers away from the ancient tower ruins, and then we will land and walk. This way, the risk is barely within the acceptable range. "
Gordon thought for a moment and said, "A straight-line distance of ten kilometers in a place like the forest will take at least two hours to run at full speed. Considering that a battle may break out immediately after arrival, it is necessary to conserve physical strength. It is not appropriate to rush at full speed.
Pork chop, after landing, you take Nanasi to ride on Amber, carry supplies and medicines, and set off first. While searching and rescuing Gene, scout along the way and leave signals if you find any abnormalities. "
"Understood meow!"
Ansel added on the side: "I have prepared vitality potions and secret medicines. Pork chop, remember to bring them all. There are more than a dozen bottles of strong walking medicine in Liefeng's backpack. Everyone can use it when they are on the road. "
"You brought more than ten bottles of strong walking medicine? ! And what is vitality potion? Is there really someone who brings this when hunting?" Gale looked at Ansel in disbelief.
Ansir sneered, "Haha, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. With your intelligence, it may be difficult to understand, right?"
"Neh Ma"
Ignoring the two bickering, Gordon looked at Hilda, "Given's character, I'm afraid he won't sit and wait for death for so many days. He will probably try to break through repeatedly."
Hilda sighed, "For a young hunter who has not yet been promoted to five stars, this is not a wise choice."
In the past few decades as a hunter, she has experienced too many life and death, and she is not too optimistic about the probability of Gene's survival.
Gordon smiled, "That guy has been growing up in the wilderness since he was a child. Anyway, I think he must be alive.
If possible, I still hope to find him first.
Maybe, that guy still has a lot of information we need urgently, such as the fighting habits of the Great Boom Dragon, the internal structure of the ancient tower ruins, and even the location information of the Moon Swift Dragon."
"I hope so." Hayata is obviously not as optimistic as Gordon.
Her impression of Gene still remained on the reckless boy who tried to wrestle with the great wild boar king, but was thrown back and forth.
Can he really withstand the great dragon chariot whose strength far exceeds that of the original species?
Deep in the forest, the ruins of the ancient tower.
In a narrow stone room with an area of less than ten square meters, which was barely enough for a few people to fit in, Gene sat on the ground.
The breakout failed again, and this time he didn't have time to run far before being chased back by the crazy red dragon.
Outside the stone room, there was a terrifying roar like a bomb explosion, and the sharp noise of sharp claws constantly scraping against the brick wall was endless.
Fortunately, the brick wall in this ruins was incredibly strong, and he found this narrow stone room as a temporary camp, otherwise he would not have survived until now.
The young hunter took a deep breath, took off his helmet and threw it aside, and lay down flat on his back, wanting to sleep for a while.
He had long been accustomed to the noise outside the stone chamber. He had fallen asleep to the roaring sound more than once or twice, but the rumbling sound in his stomach and the burning sensation of stomach acid corroding the stomach wall made it difficult for him to fall asleep.
He wanted to eat something, something as dry and hard as a stone, or cat food or dried fish would be fine, at least it would fill his stomach.
The idea of food emerged in his mind, and his stomach growled even more happily.
After smacking his dry mouth that couldn't even saliva come out, Gene got up and fumbled in his empty waist bag in vain, but found nothing.
Perhaps, the few pieces of food he brought should be eaten sparingly.
But this is a dead end. If he doesn't fill his stomach, how can he have the strength to break through? Is it really possible to lie in the stone chamber to save energy and wait for Wuming to come with reinforcements to save his life?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
I won't put all my hopes on the kindness of others to rescue me. I am a tough man!
Gene patted his cheek hard to cheer himself up.
He looked around, and soon, some new discoveries made his eyes light up.
Perhaps because it has been raining heavily for the past two days, a little moss has grown in the gaps between the bricks and stones on the side of the outer wall.
He ate this stuff when he was a child.
It's not tasty, and sometimes it can make people feel sick and vomit, but now he can't care so much, anyway, there's nothing in his stomach that he can vomit, right?
Gene carefully picked up the moss, barely collected a small amount, carefully poured it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The bitter taste with a strong earthy smell rushed straight to his head, mixed with sand, but he was reluctant to spit it out, chewed it a little bit and swallowed it all.
"Not bad, better than the food made by Wuming." Gene muttered with a smile in the midst of suffering.
Picking up the heavy water bag on his waist, he carefully took a sip, holding the precious water that he almost lost his life to exchange, and couldn't bear to swallow it for a long time.
This half bag of water is his most precious harvest in recent days under the pursuit and interception of the roaring dragon.
Who would have thought that the bottom of the ancient tower would become so beautiful after being flooded by rainwater? A calm and clear pond, flying light insects, fragrant flowers and grass leaves
The "owner" who lives there is not very hospitable. I just filled half a bag of water and a large piece of ice came towards me. If I hadn't run fast, I would have become a sieve.
That thing is a horse, right? Why is it purple?
