"No injuries. I had a stiff neck last night. What does the inside of the giant snake's head look like?"
"The interior is full of worm threads, which will stick if you touch it visually. The good news is that the Mantis Mantis has a poor ability to resist interference during control. If the body movements are slightly off, the entire market city outside will be seriously out of control."
Gu Xing informed.
"This should be the unique characteristic of Giant Snake Ruins City."
Li Fan looked at the giant snake lying on its side in the city and gave an analysis.
"why would you say so?"
Gu Xing asked confusedly.
"The dragon-shaped market city has four legs as support, which is much more stable from a structural point of view. The giant snake not only lacks support, but in order to achieve sliding, each module joint must be tied with two worm threads for precise control.
In comparison, the control pressure will be much greater."
Li Fan explained.
"The reason why Pavilion Mantis chose Giant Snake Ruins City."
"The Dragon Ruins City is too bulky and its speed is not suitable for impacting the city wall under artillery fire."
Li Fan gave the reason.
"So, Ge Mantis is attacking Dongdoruma consciously and is well prepared, and it is not due to the monster's habits."
Gu Xing realized the crux of the problem.
It comes with hostility, not some ecological coincidence.
Four hunter teams deployed nearby have arrived at the location of the giant snake's head.
The team and Gu Xing also decided to attack at this time.
Whizzing.
The scattered golden worm threads suddenly tightened.
Light! Crunch!
The giant snake's head, which was slightly sunken on the side, slowly lifted off the ground and then raised up again.
Four hunter teams came under the giant snake and launched a siege.
Knives and swords were slashed down, and the middle part of the giant snake's body continued to shatter when it touched the ground.
But as the giant snake resumed its forward movement, the impact caused by a simple swing of its strip-like body was beyond the ability of the hunters, so the four hunter teams could only follow and attack.
Under the tug of Eudora's swimming and flying, Li Fan was the first to land on the giant snake's head.
"Gu Xing, your words are too small."
As Li Fan was talking, he suddenly felt the thick-walled metal plate under his feet shaking greatly.
You want to throw me away through the bumps, what a joke!
Li Fan immediately adjusted his body balance by tilting his head left and right.
"this"
Gu Xing, who was also being dragged by Eudora, was speechless when he saw this.
Others adjust their balance through body coordination, and no one simply shakes their head.
But seeing Li Fan's solid and steady steps, Gu Xing also had the idea of trying.
"Don't look at it. You can't learn. Wait until Li Fan breaks through and Mantis' attention shifts and stops shaking the snake's head violently. Then you can go down again."
Eudora gave a reminder.
"Um"
Gu Xing followed the thread of worms and looked up at Eudora, who was hanging upside down above.
He felt that Eudora had grown a lot compared to the time when she only knew how to attack without thinking, and a feeling of relief filled his heart.
"Uh, I'm so dizzy, meow."
Di Lu, who was holding Li Fan's shoulders, felt a little uncomfortable being shaken.
"Hold on, we're already here."
Li Fan said, pulling out the Thunder God's Sword and piercing it into the thick-walled metal plate.
Snap!
As the yellow electric light flashed, both hands twisted the handle of the knife.
The Thunder God Sword with a double-edged blade quickly cuts a round hole.
Bang! A charged metal round cake smashed down, and the mantis looked up at the hole in the top of his head.
One person and one insect started looking at each other.
"Why come here?"
Li Fan was the first to ask.
Ge Mantis didn't answer, his compound eyes flashed purple twice, and he tilted his head.
"Who taught you how to build a market city by imitating the appearance of a snake king dragon?"
Li Fan asked again.
Suddenly the purple light of the compound eye burst out, but just when the hook on the left side was about to rise, it was pulled back hard by the straight worm threads.
The advancing giant snake's body paused uncoordinatedly.
In order to maintain control, Mantis can only retract its hook and sickle again.
Li Fan could feel that Ge Mantis had great ups and downs in mood, but he didn't know the reason.
Boom! Crack!
As a large number of houses were flattened, the sliding Giant Snake Market City came to the side of Battle Street and continued to move forward in the center of the city-state.
"That's it!"
Following Gu Xing's reminder, Eudora let go of the flying insect silk in her hand.
Cang! A crashing sound sounded.
The Mantis instantly regained its alertness, and the hooks and sickles on both sides swayed rhythmically to the left and right.
The snake's head began to shake dramatically again.
It can probably hear the meaning of my words, but in terms of expression of response, it seems to be completed through physical display.
It's a pity that if you make a slight move now, it will affect the entire market city.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as Li Fan was thinking, countless red flares exploded in the sky ahead.
"Not far ahead is the headquarters, and the guild will launch a concentrated fire attack soon! Li Fan, we have to create conditions for the attack!"
Lonely shouts came.
Li Fan glanced at the metal plate at his feet and responded: "Then take half of each person and combine them to cut a big gap."
"good!"
Squeak! Squeak!
The Kodachi Sword and the Ming Lei Divine Sword were inserted into the metal plate, and the two of them ran away with their knives.
Squeak! In the harsh friction and cracking sound, the two arcs quickly intersected.
Bang! The thick-walled metal frame sank suddenly and sank downward.
The two put away their knives, put their hands into the cracked gap, and lifted it up with all their strength.
A big hole was cut in the protective barrier, and the mantis naturally would not accept it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The worm threads kept spraying into the lifted cracks.
Gu Xing was soon covered in sticky insect silk.
"I'm coming too!"
Eudora, who was flying downwards, landed on the ground and put her hand into the cut.
Just bang! Buzz!
The large metal disc that was cut off was lifted up by the three of them and thrown to the side.
Phew~a strong aroma gushes out.
The mantis inside the giant snake's head was exposed, its claw-like tail was raised, and it launched a fierce attack with worm silk balls.
In order to lift Gu Xing, his body was already covered with a lot of worm threads. Due to his difficulty in moving, he was hit again and was immediately wrapped into a ball.
"I'll save him."
Bang! Eudora, who was flying close to her, was also hit by a ball of worm silk midway through her words, and was wrapped into a ball.
However, with the rapid swing of the exposed feet, the ball can still fly in the air.
Another violent bump hit, and Lone Xing was wrapped in worm silk and turned into a ball. Since his body could no longer move, he suddenly remembered Li Fan's tilting of his head and body to maintain balance.
If that kid can do it, I can definitely do it too.
Determined to go it alone, he made an attempt in the face of danger.
As a result, his head turned to one side and his body fell down as well.
The ball of worm silk flew and rolled in the bumps, quickly sliding towards the edge of the snake's head.
It is basically impossible to kill anyone in Monster Hunter World, not to mention the worm silk balls as a buffer.
But if you were run over by a sliding giant snake after landing, you would probably be in a bad mood.
"Lonely! Hold on!"
While rolling and spinning, Gu Xing heard the shouts from above, and hope suddenly emerged.
But when the worm silk ball flew out from the edge and fell into the air and stopped rolling, he saw clearly Eudora's current state.
You've become a ball yourself, let me hold on.
"Get away from Eudora!"
Lonely shouted loudly.
"It's too late! Don't give up!"
Eudora's body fell vertically downward, and as her feet swung rapidly, bursts of boosting airflow quickly emerged.
The purple ghost fire that was just ignited in the face of the Prajna Ghost was extinguished instantly.
"Look at you. Your ability can't be activated at all."
Gu Xing let out a soft sigh.
Poof! The two worm silk balls collided and stuck together.
"Ah!"
Looking at the huge body of the giant snake sliding towards him, Eudora quickly moved his legs while shouting, flying sideways.
Bang! The two balls were knocked out by the debris wall and crashed into the wall of a high-rise tower.
"Huh~ It's so dangerous. It was just such a serious impact. Why is there nothing wrong?"
Just when Eudora was curious, she heard a painful moan coming from behind.
She turned around and saw that it was coming from behind her, embedded in the wall.
"The worm thread ball was flattened. Are you okay?"
Eudora asked worriedly.
"I"
Gu Xing's neck tilted, and drops of blood flowed outward from under the face of the Prajna Ghost.
Feeling that the worm threads on her body were loosening due to solidification, Eudora immediately swung her body quickly to break free from the worm thread balls.
"The exact nature of the injury is unknown, so let's give him the recovery medicine first."
Eudora, who was hanging upside down, took off the recovery medicine bottle from her belt.
"In order to save you, I have no choice but to offend."
After saying that, Eudora stretched out her hands and took off the Prajna Ghost Mask.
"Well, there are so many wounds on his face. He is really desperate. No wonder he can become a lone ghost. Um, ah, this, dad?"
Eudora, who was hanging upside down, quickly returned to her right position in order to confirm her body shape.
"What's happening is impossible, Li Fan. Come and identify it. No! He has never seen dad before."
Eudora covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely confused.
At this time, Li Fan was still on top of the snake's head, preparing to roll to avoid the worm thread.
However, after posing for a long time, the mantis showed no aggressive behavior.
"Why doesn't it attack? Is there not enough worm silk?"
Li Fan asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, meow."
Dilu shook his head and said.
Woo. Woo. Woo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The low sound of the horn and the rapid beating of the gong sounded at the same time.
This is the last warning given by the guild to the hunting team participating in the war.
The meaning is that a large-scale concentrated fire attack is about to be launched, so stay away from the target monster immediately.
This is a required part of the four-star hunter assessment. Although Li Fan has not participated in the four-star level promotion, he has done so and fully understands it.
Looking at Hui Hui who was waiting in the sky, I couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
After all, if East Doruma is used as a battlefield, it is difficult to define who is the source of the crisis, Ge Mantis or Tian Hui Long.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind.
However, it was urgent to escape right now, and Li Fan had no time to think about it.
Moments after he carried Dilu flying through the air and evacuated, heavy crossbow arrows as dense as raindrops fell from high altitude.
Then came a large number of black cannonballs flying down from all directions.
A long line of rail-mounted artillery vehicles lined up on the Battle Street railway track also launched the first round of salvo fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tremor caused by the artillery explosion even overwhelmed Lao Shanlong's continuous advancement.
Wow!
After a burst of flying tiles, Li Fan used the foot brake to complete the deceleration.
"Something's wrong. There are too many abnormal things about Ge Mantis."
Li Fan looked up at the collapsing Giant Snake Market City and said.
"That's weird enough. The treasure cat said that Mantis has a long-range attack that drags a steel beam and then throws it with a swing. The power is so terrifying that it can even knock Huihui's carapace away. It was when he was attacked outside the city.
The best time to use it, but it seems to have forgotten this trick."
Di Lu opened the record book on her waist and looked at it, but she was also very puzzled.
"Dilu, do you think that if a person doesn't have a Poké Ball, can he still conquer monsters?"
Li Fan asked.
"This. It's very difficult. It may require extremely high intelligence, meow. Of course, you also need to be able to communicate with monsters like you."
Dilu replied.
"If the opponent already knew that this mantis would appear, would it make it less difficult?"
"Appearing in Todoluma Mameu?"
"No, it was earlier than that, or because he appeared earlier, Mantis could appear in East Doruma!"
Suddenly, Li Fan grasped the vague idea in his mind.
"Uh, I don't understand it at all, meow."
Dilu lowered his head helplessly.
"He did something similar to me. The difference is that my target was Huihui, while his target was Ge Mantis!"
"Then who is this person?"
"He participated in the battle against the Snake King Dragon and was able to know the existence of Pavilion Mantis in advance. He was the legendary hunter of the missing brigade."
Li Fan gave the answer.
"No way, meow! Why did the legendary hunter let Mantis attack!"
Dilu scratched his ears with his claws and exclaimed.
"Not only did the legendary hunter disappear mysteriously, but judging from the information left behind, there is a high probability that there are no Poke Balls available. To maintain the relationship with monsters, the only way to maintain the relationship with monsters is frequent face-to-face communication, so there is a high probability that Ge Mantis was induced
Already."
"Ah! That's so insidious, meow. The one who can deceive Mantis is."
Dilu clenched her cat's claws.
"That's the brigade commander!"
Li Fan firmly called out the other party's identity.
"It turns out to be him, meow! I just looked at him. Wait a minute, Li Fan, who is the brigade leader?"
In Di Lu's impression, it seemed that she had never seen this person before.
"The leader of the legendary hunter brigade! He likes to wear an orange cowboy hat. That hat was blown away on a sand boat once. Forget it, he is the most suspicious after all."
Li Fan informed.
"Have you collected any evidence?"
Seeing Li Fan strategizing, Di Lu's eyes lit up.
"No, but this intuition is very strong."
Di Lu wanted to raise a question, but she didn't know why she held back the words.
Hula! As Li Fan moved his feet, a broken tile slipped from the roof.
Neither Li Fan nor Di Lu cared. After all, who would be on the street at this time.
Snap!
"Well, what an unfortunate day."
A low complaint came from below.
Li Fandi looked around.
"The orange cowboy hat is a killer meow!"
Dilu exclaimed.
The white-bearded man in front of the truck below was shaking off broken tiles from the brim of his hat.
When I looked up and saw two heads poking out from above, I was also surprised.
On the observation ladder at the guild headquarters, Sofia, who was sitting on the platform, also looked puzzled.
"This Li Fan didn't rush to attack when he saw Twinkle. He seemed to be still trying to communicate. What on earth was he thinking? No, it must be because he was too stupid."
Sophia shook her head quickly, as if she wanted to expel a certain thought from her mind as quickly as possible.
