At noon, in an unexplored jungle, Huihui used her gun wings to push back and slow down to land.
The team, which was rehearsing the battle with the monsters, saw Huihui returning and quickly ran to them.
Ouch. Ouch.
Huihui raised her front paw and made two gestures in the air.
"The Pavilion Mantis is really in the ruins of the ancient city. Did you give it a warning?"
Li Fan asked.
Ouch.
"The scorching carapace thrown from high altitude was bounced away, and then the mantis became enraged and transformed into a huge monster. Okay, I understand."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he put Hui Hui into the ball.
"Didn't you anonymously entrust the guild to investigate the ruins of the ancient city? Why are you so surprised to hear that Pavilion Mantis really exists?"
Eudora asked puzzledly.
"My information source is very single, and there are many variables in it, so I am surprised."
Li Fan responded.
As for the area where Pavilion Mantis is located, he also judged it based on the game content.
But considering the current situation of the monster hunting world, this conclusion is really incredible.
Because judging from the geographical location of the ancient ruins city and the frequency of visits, the possibility of the Pavilion Mantis not being noticed is almost zero.
Of course, there is also a very special situation, that is, the mantis itself is deliberately avoiding it.
But judging from the other party's ecological performance, there is no need to hide oneself.
"It feels strange to say this, but at least the purpose of letting the guild witness Pavilion Mantis was achieved, and it also showed Huihui's hostility towards Pavilion Mantis."
Eudora noticed something unusual, but at least the situation was developing in the direction Li Fan expected.
"This matter is not that simple, because there are big loopholes in Huihui's attack. It's just that the guild has almost no understanding of Pavilion Mantis, so it's not taken seriously."
Li Fan sighed and said.
"What loophole?"
"The Mantis is a species of beetle and does not possess dragon energy."
"That means Huihui actually has no motivation to fight at all?"
Eudora was stunned.
"Yes."
"Oh, that will be revealed soon."
“It’s difficult”
Li Fan sighed together.
"You said it's difficult, so it must be very difficult? Is it difficult to be seen through?"
Eudora asked puzzledly.
"Yes, I am currently the most recognized authority regarding Tian Hui Long. If you want to prove and investigate, you will basically find me."
"That is to say, except for betraying yourself, no one has enough authority to characterize Tian Huilong's behavior. What is this called?"
Eudora asked a little speechlessly.
"This is called professionalism."
Training started again, and the team's main attack direction was only Steel Dragon.
It's not that they don't want to give more assistance to the city defense troops, but the guild's experience in resisting the Laoshan Dragon is unparalleled.
As for Pavilion Mantis Li Fan, he didn't have many ideas. Instead of distracting his energy, he might as well target the steel dragon and attack with all his strength, in exchange for more space for the guild.
The eight-day field training ended soon, and the team returned to East Doruma.
In terms of training results, the team is quite satisfied, but there is no actual combat test.
Li Fan thought about his training experience these days and wanted to thank the Dragon Worship Cult for its prophecy.
Because assuming that the Steel Dragon launched the attack suddenly, the team would definitely not have such a thorough combat deployment.
It’s just that I really can’t understand the mechanism for realizing the prophecy.
After all, the guild cannot release such accurate information when there are so many investigators giving early warning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A medium-sized airship was flying with the guild flag. The gong rang rapidly, and the airships that were queuing up to enter the airport quickly evaded left and right.
The guild airship hovered beside the Flame, and a young man behind the bulwark shouted loudly: "Excuse me! Li Fan! Eudora! Dilu! Are you on the ship?"
Patch, who was cleaning the deck with a broom, heard this and responded: "Everyone is here, Meow! I'll say hello!"
Not long after, Li Fan, wearing faded bear pajamas, came to the deck.
"The guild is holding an emergency meeting and would like to invite the team to participate. Please do not refuse."
The sleepy Li Fan rubbed his eyes and responded: "No problem."
"Great! Thank you! The guild's airship will lead the way and the captain only needs to follow up!"
After the young man thanked him, he told the airship to turn around. Fei Rui turned the steering wheel and followed. As the altitude continued to rise, the team soon arrived at the airport on the top floor of the guild headquarters.
Seeing that the airship from Longli Academy was also there, Li Fan speculated that the dean and the others had also arrived.
He originally wanted to change his clothes, but the waiter said that time was urgent, so he went there wearing bear pajamas.
The airport on the top floor of the guild headquarters is not open to the public. There is only a long sky bridge connecting the halls in the distance, which feels monotonous and closed.
Coupled with the large number of knight guards deployed, the atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Walking up the black stone steps, you come to a platform, and the plaque of the top hall immediately appears.
Grand Old Hall.
"The level of this emergency meeting is high enough."
Li Fan said with emotion.
The Grand Old Hall is not only the hall where the guild president lives, but also the highest decision-making body of the Hunter Guild.
Many resolutions are confirmed here before being released to the world.
"Da Laodian! Are you going to see the president?"
Eudora, who had dark circles under her eyes and was listless, woke up immediately when she saw the words on the plaque.
"It's a bit sudden, but we need to understand the latest intelligence trends anyway, and this happens to be the most cutting-edge place."
Li Fan quickly calmed down.
"If I go home and tell my mother that I saw the president with her own eyes, she won't believe it."
For Eudora, meeting the president was a very exciting thing.
At the entrance of the Great Hall, two knight guards stood on both sides like stone sculptures.
Walking inside, the ground is made of mirror-like gray rocks.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the team walked around the screen and came to the hall.
On the huge main seat at the end, a giant dragon man with a white beard and white eyebrows, and a high bulge on his head, is sitting firmly with his sword scabbard on the ground.
Below the main seat, several long tables are placed around it.
Compared with the humans who are already seated, the president's body proportions are that of a super giant.
It is said that this kind of extremely large dragon-man only appears once every thousand years.
No matter what era it is born in, it is well-deserved to have the highest combat power.
The team was directed to the square table on the left side of the front row and took their seats.
Dragonite Dean Vegatha, research group leader Todd, and deputy leader El Catsik are sorting out the large amount of information they carried on the desktop.
"Chief Hunter Team, you came at the right time."
Vegasa said in surprise.
"We were given short notice. How far is the meeting going?"
Li Fan asked.
"It doesn't matter, it's just the beginning. No important information has been disclosed."
Vegasa, with a kind face, said with a smile.
Dilu sat next to Sick, who was wearing a bachelor's hat. The two cats greeted each other cordially, and then opened the notebook to record information.
On the other side of the square table in the first row, Pazhi, Gu Xing, and the three members of the top hunter team couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Some people are curious about Li Fan's alternative pajamas.
It was the first time for someone to meet the chief hunter of Longliyuan.
"I had something urgent to deal with just now, which took up everyone's time. Li Fan! Eudora! It's great that you can come to the meeting."
Zuda, who came in a hurry, immediately became excited when he saw the chief hunter team attending the meeting.
Because what the guild currently lacks most is top combat power.
"Speaking of assisting with reinforcements, first of all, I would like to thank all the villages for sending giant airships, especially Ryuuriin. The new Pioneer has just been built, and we have decided to support Dongdoruma. The large number of artillery shells provided by Yanhuo Village are also extremely beneficial.
of assistance.”
After Zuda recognized the assistance from all parties, his tone suddenly became serious.
"The unknown monster we may face this time was actually determined seven days ago. The reason why we waited until everyone arrived before announcing it was mainly because the guild was also confused about how to deal with it."
"Is the monster that has left the guild helpless, an unknown ancient dragon species?"
Vegasa asked curiously.
"Everyone will know after taking a look."
Zuda said, cutting off a thin string, and the huge scroll hanging on the top of the Great Hall slid down and unfolded.
"What's this!?"
"Why are there two monsters?"
"Insect species? Is the nest at the back?"
The sounds of surprise and suspicion kept ringing out.
It stands to reason that all participants have at least top-level qualifications in relevant professions.
But seeing the huge scroll displayed by Zuda, he was still shocked.
There are two monsters displayed above, one is an insect-like creature with brilliant golden color all over its body.
This dazzling color feels unusual at first glance, but it is still within the scope of understanding.
As for the second one, it is not so much a monster as it is a model of a giant land dragon built from the remains of various city defenses.
What's even more concerning is that there is a human figure underneath the model that measures the size of the monster.
Sick made a simple calculation and found that if this land dragon composed of debris really existed, it would be larger than Laoshanlong.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this isn't a monster imagined by field investigators, right?"
"Director Zuda, is the information true?"
"This is an emergency meeting! Everyone, please be quiet!"
Doubts continue to arise, and the situation seems to be getting more and more out of control.
Dang! The president holds the old sword [Susa] and strikes the ground with the scabbard.
A shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out in a ring.
"quiet."
After the president with a loud voice finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Only Vegasa remained unaffected and continued to hold the magnifying glass and observe carefully in front of the giant scroll.
"Every joint and every connecting point of this giant land dragon is wrapped with silk threads. Director Zuda, did the investigator move during the observation?"
Vegasa asked.
"Yes, and the giant dragon's front paw you see will cause violent vibrations in the sand every time it falls. The impact can extend tens of meters forward, and the deeply buried sand and dust rocks will also be shaken.
Fly into the air."
Zuda informed.
"If it can only be tied and dragged with silk threads to form a land-walking dragon of this size, it can at least explain two things. It possesses extremely terrifying power and a high level of intelligence that is rare among monsters."
Vegasa made an inference.
The leader of the top hunter team, the silver-haired Dius stood up and asked: "Dean Vegasa, are beetle-type monsters really so powerful in combat?"
"Theoretically it doesn't exist, but now that it has appeared, we should take it seriously."
Vegasa informed.
"Doesn't Longliyuan also have relevant information?"
Zuda asked.
"No, but it's still too late to re-deploy operations. This must be why the guild waited until now to release the information."
Vegasa speculated.
Laoshan Dragon and Steel Dragon are already very tricky.
The sighting confirmation of the unknown creature dealt a heavy blow to the union.
Before all available combat forces are gathered, any deployment will be on paper.
What is even more difficult is that the guild does not have the final say on how to deploy personnel, and many arrangements need to be negotiated and finalized by all parties.
"Exactly what I was thinking, that's why I need to collect all parties' tendencies to resist monsters."
Zuda finally got to the topic of today's emergency meeting.
To put it simply, it’s who fights which monster.
"The chief hunter team is going to attack the steel dragon!"
Eudora stood up and expressed her attitude very firmly.
"I have expected this. After all, the team received the Steel Dragon Investigation Contract before."
Zuda saw that he couldn't coordinate and couldn't refuse.
Dius raised his hands and expressed his attitude: "Director, the top team has been tracking the Steel Dragon for two years, and we also want to fight against the Steel Dragon."
"this."
Zuda looked troubled.
In fact, he already knew that the two teams would collide on the target.
But now the overall arrangements have not been finalized, and there is no time to persuade and reconcile.
As for Dius's reason, it is actually quite sufficient. The other party's master was seriously injured by the steel dragon and retired just to save him.
"Okay, then, the Steel Dragon will be led by the top hunter team and the Ryūliyuan chief hunter team."
In desperation, Zuda could only temporarily decide and attack with this extremely unreasonable configuration.
"The Unknown Creature Guild named it Pavilion Mantis. I wonder who is willing to fight it?"
After Zuda finished speaking, several five-star hunter team captains raised their hands.
These high-level combat powers are absolutely good at dealing with five-star monsters.
But for monsters that threaten the ancient dragon level, without a top team to contain them head-on, it is easy to fall into a weak position.
Zuda could only continue to supplement it with city defense support and reinforcements after deciding on a quota.
After making up for it, the Laoshanlong combat troops deployed were insufficient again.
"Director, the intelligence says that Tian Hui Long is hostile to Ge Mantis. Why not try to induce it?"
Pazhi saw sweat on Zuda's forehead and gave him a suggestion.
Pazhi! Well done! It’s not in vain that I saved you!
If you can speak, just say a few more words, I like to hear it!
A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Fan's face, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Induction operation? Is it the tactic used against Thunder Dragon? The person who carried it out that time."
As Zuda spoke, everyone looked at Li Fan.
"Pazhi, you have a good idea. The Koge Mantis is a beetle species, and the Sky Comet Dragon fights the Ancient Dragon for dragon-attribute energy. Even if there is hostility, it will be difficult to induce the operation."
Zuda thought for a moment, shook his head and gave an explanation.
My goodness, you old man knows a lot.
Li Fan was somewhat surprised.
"Uh, Director Zuda, I don't want to challenge your expertise in ancient dragons, but when it comes to Tian Hui Dragon, Li Fan is the expert."
