"How about fish and cat rice? It consists of steamed fish and roasted pork steak. It is the signature dish of Maosanting."
The chef makes recommendations.
"Okay, here's the fish, fish and cat rice! I want two hunter portions and two cat portions."
"Let's get started! Rice for fish, fish and cats! Two portions each for hunter and cat!"
The chef with a deep voice shouted, and two chef El cats wearing white headscarves jumped out from the left and right.
After throwing the fresh large fish and steaks caught in the claws on the rectangular stone grilling table, various condiments were poured in generously.
Next to the baking table, on a cooking pot suspended on a wooden frame, a chef named Ai Lu stood on a cargo box and was constantly stirring the red soup in the pot.
As the steaming lid covering the big fish opened, the chef pinched a small piece of vanilla with his cat's paw and gently placed it on top.
When the meat steaks are grilled until brown, they are skewered into skewers, and the fish and cat rice is completed.
After the team finished eating, they felt that not only was it delicious, but the portion was unusually filling, which was something that was difficult to appreciate in previous cat meals.
In addition, both the ingredients and the cooking style are very different from the cat rice I have eaten before.
Li Fan speculated that this was the impact of regional differences.
Inside the Star Stronghold, there is also a Star Ship branch of the guild.
However, the security of the stronghold is currently at a difficult level to maintain, and coupled with the lack of supplies, it is simply impossible to impose restrictions on hunting.
Therefore, unlimited hunting can be carried out in the ancient tree forest, so that the supply of food materials will not be as short as in the original continent.
In addition, Li Fan also noticed a detail, that is, the resident hunters of each phase of the stronghold wear and use new weapons and armors, but they are relatively rudimentary.
The stronghold is established in the ground on the edge of the strait, with unlimited hunting, and the armor cannot be further upgraded due to lack of monster materials.
Each item illustrates the weak situation of the investigation team.
The team took the cable car to the square on the first floor of the stronghold, and Di Yan ran over.
"Old man! The leader of the fifth phase is here."
Di Yan waved and shouted.
An old man with dark skin and silver hair walked over slowly.
"Welcome to the Star Stronghold. I am the commander-in-chief of the investigation team. My name is Frye. We have been waiting for you for a long time. We are very happy to meet you."
Frye introduced and shook hands with Li Fan and Eudora respectively.
This energetic old man was a member of the first investigation team and visited the New World 40 years ago.
"I am the leader of the fifth investigation team, Li Fan, and this is my editor Di Lu."
"Hello, Commander Frye."
Dilu raised her paw and said.
After introducing each other, Frye suggested that Li Fan go to the residential area to settle down first, and then come to the parliament area at noon to attend the combat command meeting.
The team followed the directions on the road signs and finally walked to the side of the square on the first floor of the stronghold in front of an old ship hull erected on the shore.
Stepping on the wooden bridge and walking inside, I found that the interior was simply modified and was almost the same as the cabin.
Eudora looked at the entrance on the side for a long time, and finally came to a surprising conclusion.
"It doesn't even have a door. It's too exaggerated."
"I'm really sorry, but this is the best room among the second-class cabins."
Di Yan said helplessly.
"Give it to the wounded, we can make do with it on board the Flame."
Li Fan informed.
With the sudden influx of 500 hunters into the stronghold, housing resources must be very tight.
As for the expansion plan, it still depends on whether the salvaged White Wind is complete.
Returning to the Yanhuo cabin, Li Fan felt that the situation at the Star Stronghold was not optimistic and that there were great safety risks.
As for the fifth phase of the group, the current main problem is the injuries to the recommended group members, as well as the weapons and armor lost with the White Wind.
These are the elites of the investigation team, and they are all the main force in pioneering investigations.
Li Fan felt that he couldn't be a mute like in the game, and he had to mention it in the later combat meeting.
At noon, Li Fan arrived at the parliament area, which was mainly made of half a boat.
A large sand table is placed on the square table in the center.
However, judging from the small flags that mark the detection points, except for a purple flag at the other end of the Grand Canyon, the rest of the detected areas are only around the Star Stronghold.
Unfortunately, for the appearance of this purple flag, the third phase of the mission, which focused on ecological surveys, paid a heavy price for its return and was unable to return to its base for twenty years.
Everyone attending the meeting came to the deck one after another. They were basically the leaders of various teams in the stronghold, and there were also a few elderly dragon scholars holding books.
As the compiler of Eudora, Aibo was also invited to participate.
Da da da
The sound of armor clashing was heard, and a hunter wearing an old-style female fire dragon armor with mottled marks and carrying a flying dragon sword [Emerald] walked to the parliament area.
"Master!"
Di Yan said hello.
"Yes, Di Yan."
The hunter responded, sitting upright on the chair with his arms folded.
The dull and solid voice sounded like he must be at least forty years old.
Because he is wearing an old-style female fire dragon helmet, which wraps his head in all directions, his appearance is completely invisible.
"Is this the swordsman master?"
Li Fan asked softly.
"Yes, he is also my mentor. My sword skills were all taught by my master."
Di Yan said gratefully.
Not only are many supplies lacking in the stronghold, but inheritance among hunters is also very difficult.
After all, none of the four previous groups that arrived were focused on hunting, which made it unsustainable to train the new generation of hunters.
"Then what is your master's name?"
"Master of swordsmanship."
Di Yan informed with a curious expression.
"Does he have no name?"
Li Fan asked in surprise.
"There used to be, but Master went through a past that he didn't want to mention, and then erased his name."
Di Yan gave an explanation.
Li Fan and Eudora looked at each other and thought there was something strange about it, so they asked, "Can you reveal more details?"
"The details are not very clear. It is said that it is related to the hero hunter in Kokot Village. You must have visited it when you were in the original continent, right?"
Di Yan showed a strong interest in Kokot Village.
"I visited and captured a female fire dragon."
Li Fan informed.
"Is there anything different about the female fire dragon over there?"
"I haven't seen the female fire dragon in the New World, so I can't make a judgment."
The two chatted for a while, and Commander Fry arrived at the parliament area on time.
All participants in the combat meeting gathered around the square table.
"This is Li Fan, the leader of the fifth investigation team. Their visit has made up for the final shortcomings of the Star Stronghold. You have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I think it is time to unravel the truth about Gulongdu.
.”
After Frye finished speaking, everyone with solemn expressions showed excitement on their faces.
Even the monitor of the supply squad who visited with the fourth group has been making preparations for ten years. Now that he finally has the ability to move deeper into the New World, he must be extremely excited.
"However, we still have many practical problems that need to be solved. Today, the Laoshan Dragon has only landed one morning. As members of the fourth phase of collecting in the wild, five people were attacked and injured by monsters in succession. The attacking monsters mainly included ferocious jackal dragons and herbivorous jackal dragons.
Dragon, Corontosaurus, judging from the ecological survey given by the survey team, the monster is likely to be affected by the Lava Dragon and becomes manic and irritable. If the safety around the stronghold cannot be guaranteed, then everything will be empty talk.
So I decided to start the investigation of Gulongdu by protecting the safety of the stronghold."
After Frye finished speaking, everyone in the meeting agreed.
Li Fan found that he and the commander-in-chief were really wise and had similar ideas.
If you want to conduct an in-depth investigation of the New World, your first priority is not to advance quickly, but to secure your base first.
"Commander Frye, the uninjured members of the fifth phase of the regiment can now accept the contract and devote themselves to the task of cleaning up the surrounding threats. However, when the White Wind sank into the sea, a large number of equipment of the recommended team members was lost. This can help solve the problem.
For a moment?"
Li Fan expressed his attitude.
"Don't worry about this. The processing house established by the second phase group was prepared five years ago to prevent similar things from happening. 300 sets of standard weapons and armor have been produced. The fifth phase group only needs to get
If you accept any contract, you can go to the processing room on the second floor to get it."
Fry informed.
300 sets? Judging from this reserve reserve, it is indeed a miracle to achieve the landing with the loss of one White Wind.
"Thank you so much."
Li Fan determined that with these equipment, the members of the recommendation group who had lost their equipment could at least participate in hunting around the stronghold.
"Well, for the fifth phase of the regiment, that's all the Star Stronghold can do. By the way, this is Miss Alice, the material squad leader of the fourth phase of the regiment. She was the transport fleet responsible for material supplies in the original mainland. In theory, one year
I will visit twice. If you have any material needs, you can communicate with Miss Alice."
Frye said.
Alice, who has dark skin and wavy hair, smiled cheerfully and expressed that she was looking forward to cooperating with the fifth group.
Since very little is currently known about Laoshanosaurus, the main topics of the discussion have basically been completed, and only half an hour is left to discuss the details.
After the meeting, Li Fan issued the resolutions at the combat meeting.
In the current Star Stronghold, the guild's contract hunting mode is still used.
However, the hunting team configuration changed from a four-person team to a two-person combination of a hunter and an editor.
Since there are no field investigators, confirmation of the mission results is completed by the hunter's partner editor.
Of course, this does not prohibit four hunters from forming a team, but in the star stronghold, every hunter is an extremely precious existence.
If you want to form a team of four to go hunting, you must go to the Star Ship Guild stronghold to register and authenticate the hunt.
Monsters that pose a sufficient threat need to be evaluated by the stronghold before hunting can begin.
To put it simply, Star Stronghold did not want four hunters to die together because of a certain rash hunting. This price was too heavy.
In front of the queue at the entrance to the stronghold, a large number of members of the fifth phase group gathered here.
Although most of the contracts are one-star tasks such as cleaning up the ferocious jackal dragons, herbivorous dragons, and crown dragons in the surrounding area, the new ecology still makes the members excited.
"The ferocious jackal dragon has been found! Only two stars?"
Eudora, who squeezed to the front, finally found the contract with the ferocious jackal dragon, but she really couldn't understand its star rating.
"Eudora! There is no need to accept the mission here, I have already collected all the contracts."
Outside the crowd, Ai Bo shouted while holding up a book.
Upon hearing this, Eudora kicked off her legs and floated out.
Looking at the opponent hanging upside down, April immediately found the relevant contract, turned the big book over, and moved it towards Eudora's face.
"Well done Ai Bo! That's the contract, let's go!"
"Don't you need to prepare?"
Ai Bo asked in surprise.
"Uh, yes, Li Fan is setting off on the Yanhuo. Let's make preparations separately. See you here in two hours."
"No problem, remember to go to the supplies class to apply for a domesticated pterosaur!"
Looking at Eudora walking away, April shouted to inform.
"knew!"
"Hey, does Eudora really need a pterosaur?"
Ai Bo suddenly thought of a question.
At this time, Li Fan was riding the Yanhuo, observing the ancient tree forest from high altitude.
The giant gorilla on the deck toilet's hair has completely turned from pink to black.
Although the excrement can still be used as fuel, it emits black smoke.
But he still couldn't stop the giant gorilla, so he opened the book and watched it carefully.
"This area is for Cheche. There should be mineral deposits in the underground caves here. Let's chop it up."
Ouch! Ouch!
The thick black smoke left at the stern of the ship caused the pterosaurs to roar in protest.
"It's so annoying, can't you just bear with it?"
Li Fan, who was leaning against the bulwark and looking down with a map in his hand, felt a little unhappy because his thoughts were interrupted by the shout.
Ouch! Ouch!
The pterosaurs continued to shout.
Li Fan immediately threw out two elf balls, and two fire dragons, one gold and one silver, appeared.
The movement of the pterosaur's wings suddenly froze, as if time had paused.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Running away in all directions.
Before the monster team went deep into unknown areas, they were basically not afraid of being witnessed.
Li Fan is worried only about local ecological pressure.
The New World is different. Except for the star strongholds on the coast, the monster team can live in any area without any problem.
If there are no ancient dragon-level monsters living in the local area, becoming a regional hegemon is not a big problem.
Ouch
The little fool looked at the top of the giant ancient tree and let out a low roar.
Naughty turned his head to look, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"This is the top mansion in the eyes of your Fire Dragon Clan"
Li Fan looked at the top of the giant tree made of intertwined branches, and felt that there might be a high degree of convergence in the way the fire dragon clan chose their nests.
Ouch?
The little fool roared.
"It's not impossible, but there is a waterfall over there. If it collapses, the fire dragon egg will suffer."
Li Fan informed.
Ouch
The little fool immediately gave up the idea.
"But it would be good to set up a temporary camp there."
Li Fan gave a new suggestion.
First of all, the top view of the giant ancient tree is very good, and you can overlook a large area.
The difficulty of climbing to reach it can also dissuade most hunters.
"Fei Rui, keep raising the altitude, we are going to the top of the giant tree!"
