Feeling Li Fan's helplessness, the mud fish dragon danced even more joyfully.
Layers of mud continued to pour in, making the journey more and more difficult.
"I can drag you up, but the duration will be short."
Dilu, who was riding on the wind bag cloud, flew over and informed him.
"No, the Qi training resonance attached to the blade is still a white blade. Even if you attack from a high place, it will be difficult to stop the mud fish dragon from flapping."
Li Fan thought about using Qi Gathering Slash and slashing the ground to absorb the Qi, but even where he stepped, there was only soft mud.
As for the silt rolling in from the waves, because the impact force is too low, it simply cannot meet the criteria for triggering the Penetration Slash.
"Jump over here, meow!"
When Di Lu saw the Mud Fish Dragon leaping high and striking, she immediately exclaimed.
"Evacuate!"
Following Li Fan's instructions, the wind bag clouds flew away immediately.
Phew! Wow
The mud ichthyosaur that fell into the mire stirred up a super-high mud tide.
"Li Fan! Well, it seems okay, meow."
Di Lu was originally worried about Li Fan, but after seeing the mud tide pass, a clay figure was still standing firm, and her worries immediately dissipated.
The Mud Fish Dragon, which suffered a heavy blow to the eye, did not dare to move closer, but jumped to distance itself.
"Are all the monsters in the New World this skinny?"
Li Fan wiped off the mud on his face and vaguely felt a little bit about the feeling of being dominated and played by the dung monster in the game.
The mud field was still spreading, and the Mud Fish Dragon, which had the home field advantage, seemed to feel that the enemy could no longer hurt it, so it roared happily.
"Above the quagmire, no one can defeat me. Well, that's right."
Wiping off the mud on the gauntlet, Li Fan put his hand deep into the collar of the gauntlet and took out an orange flower.
Zhila~
The petals unfolded, revealing a golden jade.
Click! The Arashi Jade of Yuanyuan is inserted into the card slot of the Thunder God Sword.
Pacha! Pacha!
A large amount of electric light spread outward from the blade.
The Mud Ichthyosaur, which had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, felt that it had retreated to a safe distance, and immediately launched another mire attack.
He fluttered sideways and flew towards Li Fan's direction.
Boom! Blah!
Golden light flashed, and a burst of green smoke with the smell of burnt lake flew into the air.
Phew! The body of the Mud Fish Dragon fell vertically into the swamp, stirring up another layer of mud tide.
However, after landing this time, the Mud Fish Dragon never moved again.
Although this lightning-inducing slash was terrifyingly powerful, it still had no defensive effect against mud.
Phew~
Li Fan was splashed with mud and water again, but what surprised him was that the thunder and lightning caused by Yuanyuan's Lan Yu did not penetrate the armor and injure himself because it was too powerful.
After peeling away the multiple layers of mud accumulated on the gauntlet, the innermost layer has become hardened.
"Is it the innermost layer of dried mud that withstood the electric shock?"
Li Fan thinks this is the most reasonable explanation.
Since the transportation route cannot yet connect to the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound, the body of the Mud Ichthyosaurus does not have much value to Li Fan.
So he decided to let his ashes return to dust, dust to dust, and rest in peace in the mire.
In the afternoon, Cangluo was safely returned to the camp.
Looking at the various research equipment placed in the tent of the three elderly dragon scholars, Cangluo said regretfully: "I misunderstood the commander-in-chief and them."
"What's wrong?"
Li Fan glanced at the tent and found nothing wrong.
"Before I insisted on coming to the Big Ant Mound Wasteland to investigate, everyone raised objections and refused to provide material assistance. I thought they were just not optimistic about the direction of my investigation. Now it seems that I was too reckless at the time. This kind of move is inconsistent with
It would be no different to die."
Kuro explained.
"So, the contract for searching for dragon scholars in the stronghold is looking for you?"
It was very strange that the scholar traveled alone in the wilderness and did not claim the Winged Dragon. Combined with the missing person contract, Li Fan connected all this.
"It must be. It's really embarrassing. I thought I could learn from Grand Commander, Master Yuanye and the others."
Cangluo sighed and said.
Li Fan also realized that simply surviving alone in the wilds of the New World was an extremely dangerous thing.
Like Grand Leader and Wilderness Master, he can also collect ecological information. He can be regarded as an out-and-out wilderness survival expert in the world of monster hunting.
In the evening, escorted by Eudora, three elderly dragon scholars returned from investigation.
The three of them were both relieved and happy for Cangluo's appearance.
Because the issuing agency of this contract is the Ecological Research Institute in the stronghold.
There is currently a survey mission in progress, and the team has no plans to return at this stage. Cangluo is also willing to join the team of scholars to conduct ecological surveys of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.
Half a month passed quickly.
There is still no progress in the exploration of the Hestarite veins, and the Nergigante seems to have disappeared.
However, by the way, he made a great contribution to the ecological observation of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland, and also completed the compilation of the first version of the map with Ai Bo.
In order to commend them, the three elderly dragon scholars simply added the names of the team members to the newly discovered animals and plants.
So Lifan tomatoes, Dilu strawberries, and Eudora frogs came into being.
That evening, the investigation team returned to the camp again. What was loaded on the vehicle was no longer piles of unknown plants, but a huge boulder with dark red lines on its surface.
There is also a hunter who uses an insect stick as a walking stick and walks on the ground.
Li Fan recognized that what was tied to the bug stick was the flag of the first phase of the regiment with the blue star logo. This way, even if the other person's face was covered by the hood, the identity of the other person was locked.
This is the dragon man who fell to the ground and needed rescue when he saw the Dark Lantern Dragon for the first time.
"My name is Moore, and this is Li Fan, the leader of the fifth phase, right?"
The hunter pulled back his hood, revealing a head full of fine braids and the long pointed ears of a draconian tribe.
"Yes, hello Moore."
"It is indeed very unusual. Perhaps the fifth phase of the group can bring new hope to this continent. I will rest in the camp for one night and then leave, so I will disturb you all."
After Moore said this politely, he came to sit in front of the bonfire.
Li Fan originally felt strange when he saw that the other party didn't want to explore much.
But when I thought that Moore was returning with the investigation team, I understood that everyone might have informed everyone about the situation at the stronghold and the fifth phase group on the way.
Cangluo admired Moore very much, so the two started chatting by the fire.
At midnight, the elderly draconian scholar Bertsi released the results of the investigation.
"The presence of this lava dragon trace here indicates that it passed nearby. Based on the trace samples studied, it should have happened in the past three days."
Skelly took a magnifying glass and searched on the newly compiled map. Based on the marked points where the traces were found, he locked the area where the Molten Dragon was going.
"Looking at it this way, it's heading towards the end of the Great Anthill Wasteland."
"Could it be the Grand Canyon!"
Cang Luo suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Where is the Grand Canyon?”
Skelley lowered his head to search again, but did not see the relevant mark on the map.
"It was Moore who told me. He told me a lot of investigation details about his solo trip. He mentioned that there is a grand canyon at the end of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland. He also entrusted me to bring this information back to the stronghold and inform it.
To Commander-in-Chief Fulei,"
Cangluo informed.
"The Grand Canyon is probably not the destination, right?"
Bertus thinks this makes no ecological sense at all.
"But if we want to conduct interception operations, this is the most suitable location."
Li Fan gave a reminder.
Moore, who was in front of the fire not far away, looked surprised.
The reason why he asked Cang Luo to pass on the information to Fulai was to inform him of this.
It was normal for Fulai to understand immediately after hearing it. It was unexpected that Li Fan could understand it as soon as he heard it.
"This is crazy."
Cang Luo shook his head quickly and said.
"Anyway, I'll send the information back first, and take this trace back with me for more in-depth research."
Li Fan gave the deployment.
There has been a phased breakthrough in the investigation of Laoshanosaurus.
The drawing of the first version of the map allowed a hunter team formed by a small number of elite members of the fifth phase of the group to successfully visit the Great Ant Mound Wasteland recently and start hunting.
Although it is impossible to maintain a safe and reliable transportation route, if the hunters of the fifth phase of the group are dispatched in large numbers to escort the transportation team, the risk can still be minimized.
Summon the Flame, mount the truck carrying the traces of the Molten Dragon, and pack the items that need to be taken away from the camp.
In less than an hour, the team began to march towards the stronghold.
"This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the commander in chief won't agree, right?"
On the deck, Eudora asked puzzledly.
Fuleilian asked Di Yan to accompany him as a guide when he hunted the ferocious jackal dragon, not to mention making a desperate attempt to intercept and capture the Laoshan Dragon.
"That's true, but Eudora, let's put ourselves in someone else's shoes. If you were Fulai, could you think of a better plan than this?"
Li Fan asked back.
In a similar large-scale battle, Dongdoruma's interception of Laoshanlong can be said to be the most worthy standard template to learn from.
But even so, the entire battle was based on the canyon terrain in the mountains.
In other words, once this opportunity is missed, no matter how much materials and manpower are available in the future, it will be impossible to achieve similar operations again.
"Well, there is indeed no better choice, but do you think it is possible to succeed?"
Eudora asked.
"No, it will definitely fail."
Li Fan was very determined. He believed that even if Bie Mazi did not come to cause trouble, this battle would definitely end in failure.
"Ah? Then why do you insist?"
“Accumulate experience and prepare for success next time.”
"So, do you think there will be a suitable terrain on the path of the Lava Mountain Dragon to attack?"
Eudora speculated.
"maybe."
Li Fan did not give a definite answer.
Two days later, the news that Laoshan Dragon was going to pass through a grand canyon reached the Star Stronghold.
The Ancient Dragon Crossing naturally has to pass through various terrain areas. For those who do not understand it well enough, it is not surprising that the Laoshan Dragon can cross from the bottom of the sea and pass through a grand canyon on land.
But in the eyes of some people, this information has extraordinary value.
After receiving the information, the commander-in-chief did not immediately make a judgment or express any opinions. Instead, he locked himself in the bedroom. After a whole day and night, he summoned all the leaders of the investigation team and came to the Five Dragons for a small investigation.
Negotiation of scope.
The window stained glass on the roof is engraved with the legend of the Five Dragons, which shows various colors under the light of the mid-moon.
Fulai leaned his head back on the chair, his face full of anxiety and exhaustion.
Li Fan didn't expect that such a determined old man in the game also had a haggard side.
"I think everyone knows what the latest collected intelligence means, right?"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fu Lai started asking.
There was a moment of wordless silence, indicating that everyone understood the great significance contained in it.
"Commander, we believe in you."
Ai Bo couldn't help but let out a cry of encouragement.
"Ah, thank you Ai Bo. I have been too busy recently and forgot to mention it. The map you compiled has been a decisive help in the exploration of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland."
Fletcher said with a smile.
"The main thing is the exploration map drawn by Li Fan. Otherwise, even if I follow the scholars every day, I would not be able to draw such a comprehensive map."
Aibo informed.
"By the way, there's also Li Fan. I've also heard about rescuing Cang Luo. You're really a lucky star for the stronghold."
Fu Lai sighed.
Lucky Star? This is a good title. It sounds joyful and auspicious.
Li Fan finished thinking in his mind and immediately expressed his attitude directly.
"Commander-in-Chief, I support the launch of the Laoshan Dragon Capture Operation in the Grand Canyon."
Everyone was somewhat surprised, and they all knew that this was the only option.
But when faced with inevitable defeat, most people will not bravely face it.
Fu Lai's eyes flashed with light, but soon dimmed again.
"This is a losing battle"
Fu whispered to himself.
"Yes, but valuable large-scale combat experience is priceless, especially in the New World."
After Li Fan finished speaking, there was silence among the five dragons again.
"Ahem"
Li Fan coughed twice.
Eudora received the signal and stood up.
"Everyone, my hometown, Dongdoruma, gradually grew up under the ravages of the ancient dragon. As pioneers of the New World, if we don't dare to try, then who will conduct an in-depth investigation of the ancient dragon crossing?
I now express my support for launching the Laoshan Dragon capture operation, even if it is a battle with no chance of winning."
Snap! Snap!
Ai Bo applauded vigorously and praised: "Well said, Eudora!"
"Well, it turns out that young people are more energetic."
The swordsman sitting behind him sighed.
"I agree, but if you want to build combat facilities, you must transport the technical team members to the Grand Canyon as soon as possible."
A short old man with a bug trap on his miner's hat expressed his opinion. Li Fan remembered that he was the monitor of the technical class.
"In this case, the material transport team must get on the road as soon as possible."
Alice, the monitor of the supplies class, smiled charmingly and expressed her attitude.
Gradually, more team leaders expressed their ideas, and the battle to capture the Molten Dragon soon entered the discussion stage.
Confidence regained in Fulai's eyes.
Late at night, after the preliminary plan was discussed, everyone immediately started preparations all night long.
"Li Fan, please wait a moment."
Fulai stopped Li Fan who was about to leave.
"What is it, Commander-in-Chief?"
"Thank you for making me firm in my choice."
Fu Lai said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Such an important decision requires unimaginable pressure. I believe you can lead everyone to solve the mystery of Gulongdu."
