At night, the hull of the Flame glows with silver light, sailing high in the sky.
Li Fan studied how to use the injection device.
I opened the fuel tank and found that it was empty, so I found the relevant page of the manual and checked it.
"Because the fuel peach beast excrement is relatively scarce, it is not injected into the fuel tank. Please collect it yourself or buy it in the trading market."
He just wanted to release the giant gorilla, but seeing the closed environment in the cabin, Li Fan thought that he had to find another way to inject fuel, otherwise he would not be able to sleep that night.
Arriving on the deck, Jin Yumantang’s chef team was washing the dishes in the kitchen.
Due to fire hazards and oil fumes, the kitchen was moved to the deck and made semi-open.
Li Fan walked into the kitchen and knelt down beside the cat slide to watch.
The number of resident Ellu cats on the Flame has reached five. Although it is a medium-sized airship, there is only one entrance to the cabin below.
It will be very inconvenient when you need to come in and out frequently.
So chef Huaye led the team to create a cat slide that goes directly into the cabin based on past kitchen renovation experience.
"Huaye, can you make another slide of the slide you built?"
Li Fan asked.
"The human version won't work, meow. That would make a big hole."
Huaye responded.
"It's not the human version, just the same size. But you must ensure the sealing of the slide pipe. Doesn't the kitchen slide lead to the cabin corridor? This slide leads to the fuel tank."
Li Fan stated his needs.
"Okay, meow, we'll start work tomorrow!"
Huaye didn't understand why there were two cat slides on the deck.
However, with Dilu's help in the kitchen, it was completed in two hours. If I get up early tomorrow, it shouldn't delay cooking breakfast.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Four Ellu cats came to the deck with a full set of tools.
The Ellu cats were surprised to find that Li Fan was nailing planks on the deck.
"You're here so early. The entrance to the slide can be opened here."
Li Fan got up and came to the deck next to the starboard bulwark.
"It's a bit far here, isn't it?"
Huaye feels a little inconvenient. After all, the cat slide is a facility to facilitate entry into the cabin.
"It's better to stay far away, that's all."
Li Fan insisted.
The El cats immediately cut the boards and started construction.
As expected, the cat slide was almost completed in less than two hours.
"Yeye Meow, go below the cabin and ask Li Fan about the length of the pipe. If it is enough, it will be fixed on the deck."
Huaye informed.
"Okay, meow."
Ye Ye put down the hand saw, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, Leaf Meow! It's so easy to slide down from here."
Dilu suggested.
"Uh, no, meow, Li Fan said this slide can't be used casually."
Mosaic leaves give explanations.
"That's it, meow."
"Thank you, Dilu! I can just go to the kitchen!"
Ye Ye said and ran quickly to the kitchen.
Opening the small hatch made of old pot lids, the leaf head rushed down and got into the slide.
Slide down several times in the ring pipe, and the leaves will fly out from the exit above the cabin corridor.
Bang! Ye Ye couldn't stand and fell to the ground. He stood up, rubbed his butt, and ran quickly to the fuel tank.
Crunch! The hatch was pushed open, and Li Fan was connecting the outlet of the slide pipe to the top of the fuel tank.
"It's a leaf. Is there anything going on on it?"
Li Fan turned around and asked.
The fuel tank and cat slide are connected together.
Ye Ye's mouth opened slightly, too scared to speak.
"It feels like it's not good to be closed. What if this leaks out?"
Li Fan looked at the small gap in the slide pipe and couldn't help but muttered.
Ye Ye tried to calm down and said in a trembling voice: "Hua Ye said that if the pipe is long enough, it will be fixed on top!"
"The length is sufficient, but the load-bearing capacity standard needs to be improved, otherwise the slide pipe will collapse."
The sunlight coming in obliquely from the hanging window placed half of Li Fan's body at the intersection of light and darkness. The hair on his whole body was covered with leaves, making it impossible to see the other person's expression clearly.
"I know meow!!!"
Whoosh! The leaves turned and ran quickly, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust in the corridor of the cabin.
"Ah? How did you escape? It seems that Ye Ye is more timid than expected. Please pay more attention in the future."
Li Fan was a little surprised when he saw this.
"Huh~huh~ Li Fan said the length is enough, but the standard of carrying capacity needs to be improved."
Panting, Leaf came to the deck and informed.
"Then add a few more supports, Miao Ye, what's wrong with you?"
After Huaye gave the plan, he saw that the condition of the leaves was not quite right, so he asked curiously.
"This seems to be a black ship that uses El cats as energy source!"
The leaves told.
"Uh, Ye Ye, did you run too fast just now and hit your head?"
Huaye said a little speechlessly.
"It's real! The cat slide outlet below is already connected to the fuel tank."
The leaves told.
"So, meow, how can Elu cats be used as energy?"
As soon as Hua Ye heard this, he knew that Ye Ye was overthinking it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."
The leaves dropped their shoulders feebly.
Not long after, Li Fan came to the deck, put together the previously nailed boards, and then carried a wooden box to the entrance of the slide.
Click! Dang! Dang!
After a short period of debugging and fastening, Li Fan started to hammer in the nails.
The four cats watched for a while, and Dilu sighed and said, "What a big toilet, meow."
"Well, it's specially made for giant apes."
Li Fan responded.
Di Lu's expression immediately changed.
"Giant gorilla? Who is the giant gorilla? I have only seen the little fool, Naughty, and Xixi."
Huaye said she had never heard of it.
"The giant gorilla is a peach-haired beast king."
Dilu told in a low voice.
"Oh, it turns out to be the peach-haired beast king, Meowth! Ah! Black Ship!"
Huaye exclaimed, and the chef team meowed and became chaotic.
"The giant gorilla has never destroyed El Cat. Don't be so excited. If you understand more deeply, you will find that the peach-haired beast king actually has a gentle side."
Li Fan explained.
Among the team of chefs who were hugging each other and trembling, Huaye said in embarrassment: "But it's hard not to care, nya."
"Focus can overcome fear, let me help you Fei Rui! Hoist the cat rice ingredient box up!"
Following Li Fan's shout, a large box filled with cold air and covered with frost was lifted out of the warehouse patio.
Li Fan looked at the recipe and searched inside the box for a while.
Finally he took out a big steak.
"This is the bone-in leg meat slices of the Lava Dragon. There are no recipe requirements, you can use it as you like."
The airship had only set out for a day, so it might be a little early to eat cat food, but in order to appease the chef team, Li Fan felt it was still necessary.
"Leave it to us, meow!"
Under the leadership of Huaye, the three Ellu cats lifted up the slices of the lava dragon's boned leg meat together, quickly ran into the kitchen, and focused on preparing the cat rice.
"Li Fan, please assign some tasks to me, too."
Di Lusheng said helplessly.
"Well, I want to conduct a test. You go to the cabin and check whether there is any fuel leakage on the slide pipe."
Li Fan deployed said.
"Good, meow!"
Dilu ran away happily.
After Li Fan saw that the cats were calmed down, he released the giant gorilla on the deck.
The giant gorilla sat on the ground with arms folded, breathing heavily.
"Giant gorilla, your time has come."
Ouch? The giant gorilla scratched his face, a little confused.
"Please take a look."
Li Fan stepped back half a step and gave way to the giant toilet that was close to the bulwark.
The giant gorilla came in and smelled it, then naturally sat on the toilet seat.
At this time, a hanging box approached and hovered in front of the giant gorilla.
Click! Li Fan peeled off the box board, and countless blue mushrooms shining with ice crystals appeared.
The giant gorilla's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he had the illusion that he had arrived in heaven.
Crunch! Crunch!
The crunching and chewing sounds are endless.
Li Fan walked to a distance and took a look, feeling that this self-developed fuel injection system was perfect.
In the next three days, the Flame will turn on the Hualai jet from time to time to conduct high-speed flight tests.
Since there was a naughty little fool waiting for the flying dragon, Li Fan got a lot of meaningful data by comparing the maximum speed.
However, since the Hualai injector is a test version, there are still many minor problems.
At present, the most obvious and most influential thing is that the injection engine does not use fuel completely.
As a result, some fuel will leak out along with the injection device.
"Li Fan, is it really okay to keep going like this?"
Fei Rui looked at the injector, which continued to spread yellow mist, and asked tentatively.
"It's pretty good. It also has the effect of driving away monsters."
Li Fan didn't care much about this.
Because as long as the Flame is constantly moving, the yellow mist behind the stern will not affect the hull.
Two days later, the Flame, with yellow smoke rising from its stern, arrived over the volcanic area.
Add cold drinks and high-temperature-resistant cat rice to the dragon-slaying equipment.
Although there is a slight feeling of warmth all over the body, the high temperature environment of the volcano currently has little effect.
"Last time, Senqiu didn't go to the guild to get information, and he almost suffered a big loss. This time, let's go to the stronghold first, and at least update the map information."
Beside the bridge, Li Fan looked at the map and said.
"Okay, meow! I'll get close right now!"
Ferry said as he turned around.
"It's better to go on foot. It's already very difficult for investigators here. Let's not cause any trouble. You can hover high in the sky for a while. The little fool and naughty ones will guard the airship."
After Li Fan finished the deployment, he checked the direction of the stronghold from a high altitude, and then set off with Eudora Dilu on a hang glider.
After landing, Li Fan felt a little buoyant under his feet. He stepped a little harder, and a large piece of the ground sank, and magma gushed out from the seams.
After the force was withdrawn, the land floated again.
If it falls into lava, how long can the dragon-slaying equipment last?
Li Fan vaguely felt that fighting in this environment did not seem to be a wise choice.
Looking up at the giant volcano emitting thick smoke in the distance, the team immediately set off on their way.
Perhaps it's because Zhanlong often appears in the volcano, but the armored dragons and red velociraptors here are quite knowledgeable.
It basically roars twice, and if you really dare to pass by, it will immediately turn around and run away. Only the giant bee remains the same.
"Li Fan! The mineral veins here are really rich!"
Dilu, who was collecting while walking, said very excitedly.
"If you collect ancient jewelry like pendants, remember not to throw them away."
Li Fan informed.
"What is that, meow?"
"It's an ancient protective stone, a kind of jewelry."
"Were the protective stones dug out?"
Eudora said with some surprise.
"Well, before alchemy protection stones appeared in the past, hunters' protection stones were all ancient protection stones dug from mineral veins. Sometimes one piece of protection stone was not enough to stimulate the ability, and it had to be matched with old-fashioned equipment."
Li Fan explained.
"I see. I feel like you know a lot about the past."
Eudora commented.
After about an hour of walking, the team saw several small airships hovering in the sky not far away, and knew they were in the right place.
Entering the stronghold surrounded by mountains from the gate, a lively trading market appears in front of you.
This prosperous scene was a bit beyond the team's expectations.
It's a pity that even though they mainly trade in ores and walked through many stalls, they still couldn't find any trace of the Hexing Stone.
Entering the guild base branch, a male waiter at the counter said hello.
"Welcome to Volcano Stronghold!"
"Hello, I would like a map of the volcano and a briefing on the situation in the area."
Li Fan asked.
"Wait a minute, isn't the team going to take on some missions?"
The male waiter asked tentatively.
"No."
Of course Li Fan also wants to make money, but the task at hand is really of great importance.
After getting the latest map, Li Fan and his team met at the trading market.
After walking some distance away from the stronghold, a signal flare exploded in the sky, and the Yanhuo landed with yellow smoke.
After calibrating the altitude with Fei Rui, the journey of detecting ore officially begins.
"Unexpectedly, there are not only many no-fly zones in volcanic areas, but also many no-fly zones on land."
Li Fan on the deck looked at the map and sighed.
"Which monster is currently more active?"
Eudora asked.
"Poison Dog Dragon King, Dragon Slayer, Lava Dragon, Chiron. Among them, Chiron needs special attention."
Li Fan felt that even if flying at low altitude, most land monsters would still be out of reach.
Chiron can barely fly, but what he fears is not his flying ability, but his terrifying flame breath.
Li Fan continued to look, and a monster caught his attention.
"Ah? Why is it here too?"
"What monster?"
Eudora came closer.
"It's a Thunder Wolf Dragon. It seems to be a seriously injured individual."
"Where's the injury?"
"It seems that there is a problem with the power storage ability of the back. The investigator's description is that it was the first time he saw the Thunder Wolf Dragon chasing the lightning bug, and the right claw didn't seem to be very flexible when running."
Li Fan looked at the message and told him.
"Why does the power storage shell on the back and the right paw feel familiar?"
Eudora touched her chin and said thoughtfully.
"I remember that Thunder Wolf Dragon during the joint hunting in Kara Village"
"I remembered it, that's it!"
Eudora confirmed.
At that time, she was guided by Li Fan, and she targeted her heels and slashed them hard.
"So, after the battle in Kara Village, the Thunder Wolf Dragon was seriously injured. It is not easy to run to the volcano. Wait, what is he doing to run to the volcano?"
"Uh, spa treatment?"
Eudora speculated.
"Running after the lightning bug, why should the lightning bug ignore it?"
