"I understand. In fact, Huihui also has the ability to attract Nergigante, but Li Fan doesn't want to take the risk."
Yudora immediately understood why Li Fan avoided this question.
"There is a recycling ball, meow. It shouldn't be dangerous."
Dilu expressed his thoughts.
"But once we meet, we will be locked by the Nergigante."
Eudora said helplessly.
"Yes, meow. Opposite is an ancient dragon that preys on ancient dragons. Once they meet, they may have a way to track Huihui. Then their activities in the New World will be restricted."
Dilu understood the meaning of the other party's words.
Nergigante becomes extremely active during the Ancient Dragon Crossing, and there is no reason why.
The opponent at least has the ability to sense ancient dragons. The best evidence is that they appeared in the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound at the same time as the Lava Mountain Dragon.
If Hui Hui had no restrictions on energy absorption, he wouldn't actually have to be afraid of the Nergigante.
But in this current state, once he is noticed, Nergigante will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"No wonder Li Fan wants to explore the Hexing Stone veins and is so determined to capture the Nergigante. This will not only enhance the team's combat effectiveness, but also completely eliminate the threat."
After a brief discussion with Di Lu, Eudora felt that Li Fan's thoughts were very clear.
Not far away by the river, Li Fan was sitting on the grass on the bank, looking at the clear and fast water in a daze.
At this time, the adaptation ball on the shoulder strap suddenly trembled slightly.
"Don't worry Huihui, everything is under control."
After Li Fan finished speaking, the shaking of the adapting ball immediately stopped.
Although he showed full confidence, he knew very well that Huihui's current situation was not very favorable.
Once the plan to capture Nergigante failed, which was not very certain, the only way to go was to venture into the land of dragon crystals.
Woo quack... croak...
At this time, a burst of frogs croaked.
Li Fan looked for the sound and found a paralysis gas frog among the pebbles on the other side of the river.
After crawling for a moment, the paralyzed gas frog suddenly jumped up and swung its long tongue at the flying insects in the air.
Phew! The flapping little flying insect was stuck to the tip of the tongue and sucked into the mouth.
This is...the equality frog?
Li Fan speculated in his heart.
Unfortunately, with its size, the paralysis gas erupted when attacked cannot affect large monsters at all.
Li Fan has tried to study many environmental creatures, but the actual effects are not as powerful as shown in the game.
Paralysis Gas Frog and Sleep Gas Frog were introduced as early as the fifth group training. To the greatest extent, they can only be effective on three-star monsters or smaller four-star monsters. No matter how powerful the monster is, it basically has no effect.
.
According to the actual test results provided by the guild, for monsters that are not applicable, it can make the opponent sneeze twice or cough a few times at most.
However, the accidental observation of the paralysis gas frog's hunting situation made Li Fan suddenly think of a new idea.
He immediately got up and went to discuss with Eudora and Dilu.
"Every time the paralyzed gas frog jumps up, it can only hunt one flying insect."
Hearing this inconsistent statement, Eudora Dilu looked at each other.
"If we direct the Nergigante's prey to other ancient dragons, Huihui will be safe for the time being."
Li Fan continued to talk about his thoughts.
"Do you understand?"
Eudora asked Xiang Dilu in a low voice.
"No meow."
"If the local ancient dragons can exist for a long time, they must have found a way to resist or avoid the Nergigante. That's why the other party will target the original mainland ancient dragons who participated in the ancient dragon crossing. Among them, Huihui is currently in the most vulnerable situation, so I
Only then will we be worried, and we will try our best to use the Molten Dragon to capture the Nergigante, but if we change our thinking and designate some new targets for the Nergigante, then the other party will not pay attention to Huihui's existence.
"
Li Fan immediately gave an explanation.
"It makes sense. Even if the capture fails, Nergigante will not pester the team again. After all, the opponent's primary target is not humans."
Eudora felt that this idea was feasible.
It is actually very difficult for the team subject to many conditions to complete this capture.
Then deployment after failure is necessary. If Li Fan's idea can be successfully implemented, the short-term threat will be greatly reduced.
"But where to find the new target, Meow?"
Di Lu asked doubtfully.
"Our mortal enemy Steel Dragon is a good choice."
Li Fan informed.
A month later, the sun was shining brightly.
At the end of the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound, layers of pointed, khaki-colored rocks stand face to face on top of the mountains.
Below is a huge canyon up to a hundred meters wide with no end in sight.
At this time, dozens of trucks were moving forward on the narrow passage dug into the rocks on both sides.
At the end of the passage, a wooden fence appears that runs through both sides of the canyon.
It is of course unrealistic to rely on the strength of this wall to intercept the Laoshan Dragon, but the artillery array set up on the top can bombard the Laoshan Dragon with the most intense concentrated fire from the front.
The hunters who are responsible for guarding can no longer remember how many times they have turned back, but every time they safely visit the sighting site, they feel like they are surviving a disaster.
During this time, they felt the vitality of the New World, and at the same time they also realized the evil hidden in this extremely vibrant ecology.
"The laying of the artillery array will be completed tonight, everyone, please work harder!"
"Are these cannonballs sent? Please put them in the warehouse carved out of the rock over there."
"Whose pterosaur is always excreting up there, can you please take care of it?"
....
Amidst the hammering and shouting, preparations for the battle are proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the top area of the wooden fence, Di Yan was reporting to the commander-in-chief Fu Lai on the latest movements of the Lava Mountain Dragon.
Since the other party's destination is known, this makes it possible to monitor the Laoshan Dragon's whereabouts.
However, Laoshanlong's motives are still a mystery.
When they first arrived at the canyon, the investigation team conducted an investigation into the depths and confirmed that the end here was not connected to any area and was a dead end.
It is really incomprehensible that the Molten Dragon traveled through the sea just to get into a dead end.
"Captain! I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Aiden, who was carrying the cargo boxes, saw Li Fan and his party arriving and said hello from a distance.
"Aiden? Your Thunder Dragon armor is updated quickly enough."
Li Fan said with some surprise.
The armor equipment Aiden brought from the original continent was all lost when the White Wind sank.
It can be said that except for the standard armor weapons provided by the Star Stronghold, it is completely a newbie pioneering the state.
"Master said that armor is the guarantee of a hunter's life and must be updated and upgraded as soon as possible. Moreover, the proportion of materials that the branch here needs to turn in is much lower than that of the original continent. There are also a large number of tasks that can earn research points. If you want to build armor,
A is still very easy.”
Aiden explained.
"Aiden, don't be lazy...leader!"
Martha, who had not seen Li Fan for a long time, said with some surprise.
"Long time no see, you got a tan Martha."
"Ah! Is there any?"
Martha covered her face eagerly.
"No, just kidding."
"The leader is so annoying!"
Martha said, holding the small box and walking away angrily.
"I want to ask you something, Captain. During the time you were investigating on the airship, did you find any information about the Steel Dragon?"
Aiden said sincerely.
"No, are you here to avenge Master?"
Li Fan speculated.
"Yes, although I may still be a little behind on my ability now, I still want to get some information in advance."
Aiden decided.
"Let's do this. If I obtain relevant information or contracts, I will notify you."
"Really, Captain! That's great, I'll go get busy first!"
Aiden said as he picked up the cargo box and left quickly.
"Strange, why are there so many ancient dragons, but only the steel dragon is so hated..."
Li Fan let out a sigh.
At night, cool air flows through the canyon from time to time, and bursts of wind howl.
Under the illumination of countless torches, construction on the wooden fence is still in progress.
Apart from a series of tents, there was no resting place in the combat area, so the team chose to spend the night on the Flame.
After dinner, I saw Ai Bo sitting at the dining table, unfolding the big book he carried with him and writing notes.
The leaves filled a bowl of thick soup and brought it to the side.
"Thank you, little Ellu, what's your name?"
Ai Bo asked gratefully.
"My name is...Leaf Meow."
The timid leaves told in a low voice.
"Did you make the pan-fried fish steak for dinner?"
Hearing this, Ye Ye hid at the dining table, exposed half of his head and said, "Yes, meow."
"It's really delicious. Could you please tell me about the ingredients used?"
Ai Bo asked.
"Okay...I'll prepare it, Meow, and I'll bring it to you later."
After Ye Ye finished speaking, he quickly rushed into the entrance of the cat slide.
"Do you still have leaves and Dilu strawberries... If they are not there, then I will find them myself."
Li Fan wanted to come and have some fruit after dinner, but seeing no one in the kitchen, he started looking for it himself.
"how is the progress?"
Li Fan asked after looking at the pages filled with information written by Ai Bo.
"Well... it can be said that there is no progress at all. I have thought about it from every angle, but based on the existing information, I still have no clue as to why the Lava Mountain Dragon came to the canyon."
Ai Bo sighed helplessly.
"I remember that there were other sighting reports on the original continent, and judging from the time and location of the sightings, they are not the same one. If you look for the differences, you might make new discoveries."
Li Fan reminded.
"The difference... to talk about the difference, this lava dragon is the largest known individual at present. In addition, research reports on traces show that the ultra-thick rock shell on its surface was formed by accumulation over time. If we judge based on this
, which shows that even among the extremely long-lived Laoshan dragon tribe, he is still an old man."
"Since the difference lies in age, it's better to start studying it from here."
Li Fan gave suggestions.
"Yes, none of the young enough individuals came, but the older individuals did..."
After Ai Bo finished speaking thoughtfully, he quickly turned the pages of the book and started researching in earnest.
Li Fan found the fist-sized Dilu strawberries, took the plate and left.
Not long after, Ye Ye placed a piece of paper with the ingredients for pan-fried fish fillet next to the book.
"Thank you leaves."
Suddenly aware of it, Ai Bo opened the formula and found that there was a leaf specimen included in the paper.
"This is the lucky leaf I collected. It is said that it can bless all life. I give it to you, meow... I hope it can bring you good luck."
After Ye Ye informed him, he quickly ran away.
"Hey!...Okay, then I'll accept it."
Seeing the leaves getting into the cat slide, Ai Bo clipped the lucky leaves into the book.
Two days later, after working day and night, all the blocking defense facilities were finally completed.
The next step is debugging work and detailed combat deployment.
The biggest problem currently faced is mainly the lack of combat experience.
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with Fulai's tactical arrangement, so with the assistance of the investigation team, Li Fan can better launch his plan.
As for the final result of inevitable failure, Li Fan thinks it is bearable.
Because judging from the plot performance, apart from the waste of materials, basically all the benefits brought by the Molten Dragon after passing through the canyon are.
First, the land route to the Luhu Coral Platform was opened, giving the hunters of the fifth phase of the group a wider hunting space.
The connection with the research base of the third phase group also allows the base to obtain the massive ecological research data accumulated over the years.
The second is the accumulation of combat experience.
On the way here, Li Fan didn't think about stopping the Laoshan Dragon capture operation.
But once this operation fails to be successfully implemented, the subsequent life-and-death interception operation will be equivalent to letting the investigation team face the Molten Dragon for the first time.
In Li Fan's opinion, this is very dangerous.
Two days later at noon, the sound of heavy footsteps on the ground entered the canyon.
Even though they knew that Laoshan Dragon still had some distance to go, everyone involved in the battle still looked solemn.
In the cabin of the Flame, the team also began the final deployment.
"You want me to be responsible for the rescue?"
Eudora asked puzzledly.
"That's right, except for shelling and attacking the heat dissipation organs extending under the skin, we have no other means to really hurt Laoshan Dragon, so putting you on the attack end doesn't make much sense. Instead, it's the flying ability of Fengshenlong's armor.
It can be of great use during rescue operations.”
Li Fan explained.
"No, that doesn't mean that we have to completely let the Nergigante go."
Eudora did not expect that due to the change in the battle plan, he would not even have the chance to take action.
"That's right, but if it really gets mad, I will do my best to contain it... Then you can pay more attention to me."
Although there are multiple means to save his life, Li Fan doesn't know if something unexpected will happen.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on you."
Eudora assured.
"What about me, meow?"
Dilu asked eagerly.
"Dilu, you, the little idiot and Naughty are in the air, waiting for support."
"Are you going to separate, meow?"
Di Lu asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are too many variable factors in this combat environment."
Li Fan said helplessly.
"Wait a minute, if the deployment is like this, wouldn't you be the only one left in the team to participate in the battle on the back of the Laoshan Dragon?"
Eudora felt that this seemed to be a deliberate arrangement.
"No, there are also all the elite members of the fifth phase of the group."
Li Fan informed.
"Okay, but I can join the fight at any time."
"Me too, Meow."
One person and one cat said firmly.
"Well... in about two days, we will meet Biemeizi. I hope it will be a pleasant encounter."
