Chapter 989: Gale's Negotiation Skills

(Today is still one update orz, I am on my way but I am back, I should be able to resume normal updates starting tomorrow)

Gail had no objection to Hayata's decision, this is the most reasonable choice.

But it is also risky to wander around in the activity area of ​​an unknown high-risk monster, so she set her sights on these two local cats.

"Brother, ask them if they can lead us a way."

After Sandstone conveyed Gale's meaning to the two Detels, they shook their heads quickly.

The Detels of the performance family are gentle and love music. To put it nicely, they are pacifists who don't like fighting, and to put it bluntly, they are a group of cowards.

That monster is much more terrifying than the Sakura Fire Dragon.

It is true that the Sakura Fire Dragon is very powerful, but creatures of Detel's size are not on its menu. As long as they don't run into the dragon's nest, they will generally not be in danger.

But that monster is different. It has already bitten and eaten several of their tribesmen to death.

They don't even have time to run, how dare they take the initiative to approach?

"Tell them that we are willing to provide them with food as a reward." Gale tried to lure them.

However, this trick that almost always worked for the orcs failed.

The two Detels said that their performing tribe had no shortage of food, whether it was coral eggs, barnacles or swaying eels, they were all delicacies within easy reach.

Don't even think about tempting us with food, meow! (New World Orcs)

The two Detels stood with their hands on their hips.

Hayata squatted down and was about to persuade them with kind words, assuring the two Detels that they would protect their safety.

"Boom!" A loud noise sounded.

Countless shrapnel swept past the Detels' ears, blasting the coral reefs behind them into pieces.

In addition to the amazing power at close range, the level 3 shotgun also made a terrifying noise when firing.

The timid Detel was so scared that his eyes rolled up and he fainted on the spot, and the other one was also shocked and fell to the ground.

Gail raised her ferocious-looking [Hell of the Crown of Thorns] (Giant Halberd Dragon Light Crossbow, suitable for scattered penetration), blew the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, "Let it reorganize its language."

".Meow meow meow meow!!"

Now, even without the sandstone translation, the Deteler nodding frantically knew what it was saying.

"Wouldn't it have been like this earlier? You put your hands on your hips, you've spoiled it." Gail snorted coldly and put away the crossbow.

Hayata: "."

Then, Gail used physical means to wake up the Deteler who had fainted.

Seeing that the two Detelers were dodging their eyes and looking for an opportunity to slip away at any time.

She smiled and pointed to a coral stone a hundred meters away, then replaced it with a penetrating bullet, opened the scope and pulled the bolt, and it shattered with one shot.

After that, the two Detelers carrying the musical instrument made of a large conch on their backs immediately became extremely obedient.

No one needed to urge them, they walked in front obediently and led the way.

If they found any rare herbs or food on the way, they would eagerly offer them to Gale.

Hayata didn't know whether she should say it to her or not. Considering that they really needed these two local guides at the moment, this might be the most direct way.

With the two Detels from the performance tribe leading the way, Hayata and his party sped up a lot.

They knew clearly which cliffs were easier to pass, where there were vines for easy climbing, and where there were shortcuts.

After walking for dozens of minutes, a bloody smell with a rotten smell came with the wind.

The two Detels slowed down their pace immediately, their ears kept turning, and they trembled at the slightest movement, looking very scared, but they didn't dare to stop.

They could only keep turning their heads and look at Gale pitifully.

Gale pouted and flicked his hands like a fly, "Let's go, let's go, follow this bloody smell, we can walk over by ourselves."

The two Detels were still a little hesitant.

Gale glared, "What? Want to stay and lead the charge?"

The two Detels looked at each other, and after confirming that Gale really intended to let them go, they immediately got on all fours and ran away.

"Wait! Come back!" Gale shouted again.

The two Detels braked suddenly, trembling all over and rubbing back.

"Take it and play with it, don't say I'm bullying you." Gale threw them a flash bomb and a sonic boom bomb, and asked Sandstone to tell them how to use them.

The Detels were a little surprised, looked at Gale carefully a few times, and left with a look back every few steps.

"Actually, I could let them go later, meow." Sandstone whispered.

It didn't have any dissatisfaction with Gale's way of doing things. In the wild, it was natural for the weak to obey the orders of the strong.

"The wind-playing tribe is a little timid, but I heard that they have mastered the musical technique of using musical instruments to stimulate potential. It's not suitable for me, but Xianglan can learn it."

"Uh, like this?" Gail scratched his chin, "The timing is not right this time. I'll catch one next time and let it teach Xianglan."

"Okay, okay!"

"You can use a gentler method next time." Hayata reminded with a headache, "Okay, we are very close to the fire dragon's corpse. The monster is probably nearby.

Get ready for battle. I'll be in front, Gail behind, and Xianglan Sandstone, pay attention to the sides and top."

The team changed its formation and moved forward slowly.

As the smell of the decaying corpse became stronger, the hunters also put on invisibility cloaks, and then moved forward secretly under the cover of rocks and a small amount of vegetation.

Finally, they saw the Sakura Fire Dragon.

To be precise, it was the remains of the Sakura Fire Dragon.

Its abdomen had been hollowed out, and the soft and nutritious internal organs had been eaten up.

The rest of the body was tough and hard to chew due to the presence of scales and shells, so it was relatively intact.

At least it was confirmed that it was not a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which did not eat in such a particular way.

After Hayata instructed Gale and the two cats to be on guard around the perimeter, they came to the corpse and examined the corpse despite the pungent odor.

The time of death was quite long. Considering the temperature and humidity here, it should be about one to ten days.

The fatal wound was in the head and neck. The Sakura Fire Dragon was bitten in the throat and suffocated to death.

In addition, there were many bite marks and claw marks on the Sakura Fire Dragon. Judging from the size of these marks, the monster should not be too big, but the wound was quite deep.

It was not a cut by a sharp object, but a torn one by a hook.

"This is..."

Hayata approached the fatal bite mark on the neck. The scales on the edge of the bite mark were black. She didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, it was normal for the wounds of decayed corpses to be black.

But a closer look revealed something strange. It was not the skin and flesh that were black, but the scales.

The keratinous scales would not rot so quickly.

Hayata pulled out the peeling knife and touched the scales. She found that the scales seemed to have been corroded and became very loose.

She rechecked the other wounds. Sure enough, almost all the bite marks had similar conditions.

"No wonder, with the strength of the Sakura Fire Dragon's scales, it can bite so deep. Is the scale corroded? Acid? Not likely. It feels more like brittleness. Dragon attribute energy?" Hayata muttered to herself.

"A monster that can attach dragon attribute energy to its teeth?"

Several possibilities flashed through Hayata's mind.

Without considering the ancient dragons and unknown monsters, there should be two kinds of monsters that can bite the opponent and corrode it with dragon attribute energy.

Tyrannosaurus and Hell Wolf Dragon.

The possibility of Tyrannosaurus can be ruled out long ago.

Hell Wolf Dragon? That kind of monster does have the strength to kill the Sakura Fire Dragon, and the attack method of dragon attribute energy is also very restrained to the Fire Dragon family.

But for the Hell Wolf Dragon, the size of these scars seems a bit small, and with the power of the Hell Wolf Dragon, the fracture of the Sakura Fire Dragon's bones should be much more serious.

It can't be a Hell Wolf Dragon whose head has not grown yet, right?

Hayata frowned and thought.

At this moment, an extremely sharp sense of threat came.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Above! Be careful!" Gale's warning sounded together with the sound of the crossbow firing.

On the cliff next to it, a dark blue beast with terrifying claws and fangs swooped down.
