Winky has never been to the New World, let alone pose a threat.
Therefore, in theory, Mingbolong cannot find out what the Giant Snake Ruins City is going to do.
This is fundamentally different from the Molten Dragon, which has caused an ecological disaster.
Even if there is real hostility, it should be caused by random digging of holes on the mainland coral platform.
Thinking of this, Li Fan decided not to summon Huihui for now, but continued to wait and see what was going on on the Yanhuo.
Because there is no strong dragon crystal energy leaking along the coast, the Ancient Dragon Sensing is relatively much higher. Huihui rushes to be noticed, but it is easy to arouse the other party's awareness of precautions.
With the current configuration of the monster team, they are not very afraid of the Bosaurus.
The problem is that the Giant Snake Ruins City cannot be put into the ball. If Mingbolong detects something, even if it does not launch an attack and just keeps following and exploring, immeasurable variables will occur.
Ten minutes later, with the heavy rain and strong wind still blowing, Shining walked out of the huge open mouth of the Giant Snake Ruins City.
Drag the dragon gun back from the jungle and load the Snake Emperor Crossbow.
The Mingbo dragon on the cliff in the distance lowers its head and looks at the endless sea, its body seems to be still.
A monster was alone and staring at the sea in a daze on a rainy day. Why did it seem so sad?
Li Fan thought to himself, what's special about it is that under normal circumstances, monsters rarely show sadness.
Boom! Boom!
After two thunderous explosions, Mingbolong finally made a move.
It slowly flapped its wings and flew away from the top of the cliff.
The wings cast a shadow and streaked across the ground.
When he came to the sky above the Giant Snake Market, he just turned his head and looked around, then flew away.
After a while, rays of sunshine shone down and the clouds dissipated.
"What can make Gu Long feel sad?"
After watching Ming Bolong disappear from the sky, Li Fan sighed.
The Snake Emperor's crossbow was loaded without any danger, and Shining hurried to the place where the dragon crystal was born, so he didn't need much guidance.
After the monster team occupies a certain territory, the Flame is barely able to visit.
In order to pursue synchronized progress, the team chose to take the Flame.
The camp that used to have only a small tent has now developed into a small stronghold with wooden walls.
The only person who dares to fly an airship through the New World is Li Fan, the leader of the fifth phase.
Everyone in the camp recognized it immediately and greeted the airship.
For safety reasons, the Flame descended to the camp and hovered at a low altitude.
The head of the regiment who came to greet him did not bother to say hello, but asked: "Li Fan, was it you who initiated the joint campaign against Steel Dragon?"
The reason why the grand leader was anxious was that after arriving at the newly established stronghold, a large number of hunters continued to visit.
These hunters, all with a star rating of four stars or above, have only one goal, which is to unite to defeat the Steel Dragon.
The person who initiated this joint crusade was none other than Li Fan, the leader of the fifth phase.
"Yes."
"Why?"
The grand leader couldn't understand.
"According to the eyewitness reports, although the Steel Dragon is closely related to the Flame King Dragon and the Flame Fei Dragon, the injuries it suffered have not healed and are even getting worse. I think this is an opportunity."
Li Fan gave an explanation.
"An unknown threat"
"Participating in the Ancient Dragon Crossing and visiting the Dragon Crystal Land must result in something worthwhile, so unknown threats are not only for the investigation team, but also for them."
Li Fan expressed his opinion.
The grand leader thought for a moment and felt that Li Fan's approach made sense.
Once an unknown threat is touched, the three ancient dragons entrenched in the Dragon Crystal Land will definitely be aware of it.
They have no plans to fight the threat head-on, but the same cannot be said for the three ancient dragons.
If the already injured Steel Dragon suffers another serious injury, it will indeed be a good opportunity to attack.
"Sorry, I thought it was a spur-of-the-moment decision you made."
The head of the group breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I can't guarantee that the situation will be extremely favorable to us, but if we don't summon hunters and make arrangements in advance, there is no possibility of implementing the combat plan."
Li Fan said that there was actually an element of gambling involved.
The difference is that he has enough information and has a greater chance of winning.
After gathering the hunters who participated in the joint hunting, Li Fan made combat arrangements.
A total of 31 four-star hunters and 11 five-star hunters participated.
Li Fan did not have too many arrangements for specific tactics.
There are only three points to focus on: follow the signal flares to assemble actions, and do concealment work when dispersed and on standby.
And most importantly, don’t have the idea of exploring and waiting just because you see something amazing.
As for confirming the location and how to kill the steel dragon after rushing there, just use all your skills.
After completing the deployment, the four set out in the evening.
A large number of hunters entered the map to explore, making the map more complete and accurate, coupled with the leader's powerful wild pathfinding ability.
After walking for less than a day, the group arrived at the cave discovered by Moore.
Li Fan realized that the terrain they were currently on was so low that they were being swallowed up by the earth's veins.
However, in the cave in front of me, there is still a downward landslide with no end in sight.
The place where the Dark Lantern Dragon emerged was deeper than he imagined.
After tapping a few times on the flashing pixel portrait on the handheld device, Li Fan followed the leader into it.
After traveling down the slope for about ten minutes, the group finally hit the bottom.
This was a dark cave filled with dark blue dragon crystals. The leader followed the sound of water flow and continued to lead. Not long after, a small camp built next to an underground river appeared in sight.
Moore, who was sitting by the fire, stood up to greet him.
"You are indeed here."
"Yes, are you in good condition?"
Li Fan saw that the dark circles under the other person's eyes were a bit heavy, so he asked tentatively.
"My perception is relatively strong. I received a lot of consciousness information some time ago. I wanted to sense more and see if I could analyze anything, but I stayed up late for several days and gained nothing at all."
Moore said helplessly.
"What did you sense?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
"The roar of a very majestic dragon and the grunt of a wild boar. The two sensations are mixed together. It is really painful to experience it for a long time."
Moore let out a long sigh, looking dejected.
When Eudora and Dilu heard this, their eyes showed sympathy.
"Let's get down to business. Through these years of investigation, I have found that the highly concentrated energy in the New World has been precipitating downwards. However, due to the obstruction of the terrain, it is impossible to explore in depth, so the final direction of the flow is still unknown until I successfully visit the Dragon Crystal Land.
, discovered the countercurrent leyline, and found this place."
When Moore said this, he raised his head and looked around.
"The end of this river is also the end of all energy. There must be something waiting for me there. If I die in battle, you must bring what you see back to the stronghold. This should be the answer to unlocking the ancient dragon.
The key to solving the mystery."
Moore said firmly.
"Are you really ready?"
The grand leader asked.
"The cat hasn't eaten its meal yet."
Aibo raised his hand and said.
"The little boat I built also needs some repairs."
Moore informed.
"I'm too anxious. Let's make preparations first."
The head of the group's shoulders sank, feeling as if he was overly nervous.
Ai Bo immediately took off his backpack, took out various cooking utensils, and started working in front of the earthen oven.
After all, games are different from reality. Under huge unknown threats, no one can keep a calm mind.
Everyone seems to be calm and making their own preparations, but everyone is wrapped in a depressing atmosphere.
Unlike Moore, who is determined to find out the truth about Gulongdu to the death, Li Fan has his own plan.
Assuming we don't try to capture it now, the appearance of the black dragon in half a year is likely to overturn the entire world.
Everyone ate the cat meal quietly, and Ai Boqiang smiled and said, "I will wait for you to come back."
Four people and one cat immediately boarded the boat, and Moore, who was rowing the oars, informed: "I have actually always had an idea about the ecology of the New World, but the content is a bit scary, so I have never mentioned it to the outside world."
"tell me the story."
The leader, who had been staring ahead, turned back and asked curiously.
"The ecology of the New World seems to have been designed."
"What a joke"
The grand leader shook his head in denial.
"I hope it's a joke. It's better for monsters that can shape the ecology on such a large scale not to exist in the world."
Moore sighed.
"It is not allowed in terms of shaping ecological capabilities."
Eudora also joined the discussion.
"Yes, a single ability will definitely not work."
Moore gave his approval.
"What if multiple monsters work together to shape the ecology?"
Li Fan expressed his idea.
"Monsters work together? Is it a symbiotic relationship?"
The grand leader didn't quite understand.
"This idea should be impossible."
Moore didn't think it made sense.
The mutual communication quickly had an effect, and the depressing atmosphere was immediately relieved a lot.
The boat traveled along the winding river for about an hour and reached the end.
The dragon crystal forms here are no longer columnar, but are all displayed in slender pointed cones.
The part extending into the river had to be cut off before the boat could continue its journey.
The rich life energy accumulates in the nose and throat, making it difficult to breathe.
After docking, densely packed crystal spikes surrounded the rear, and a dazzling white light shined through.
Li Fan didn't have time to be surprised. He took out his handheld device and clicked on the flashing avatar, using the sensor to give the second location.
He felt that his previous judgment was very correct. If he were to fight here, the Dark Lantern and Dragon Light had the ability to resonate with crystals. It could blow up the map directly. Even if he had ten lives, he would not be an opponent.
Pull out the hunter's knife, cut off the crystal spikes in front, and the group continues to move forward.
When the true appearance of the light group appeared, everyone was stunned on the spot.
It was a giant cocoon hanging from the ceiling of the cave.
Hundreds of worm silk pipelines that are constantly shrinking and expanding are infusing the cocoon with the substantial life energy.
Even though Li Fan experienced this scene in the game, he still felt a deep sense of oppression, let alone others.
Buzz~buzz~
A slight tremor made everyone stop their progress.
But after observation, they found that the source of the earthquake was not the cocoon, but an area higher up.
"We have reached this point, there is no room for retreat."
After Moore finished chanting, he ran towards the cocoon regardless of the danger.
"Do not impulse!"
The leader shouted and had no choice but to chase after him.
Buzz~buzz~
The tremors became more intense, and the crystal spikes on the roof of the cave fell one after another.
Li Fan discovered that Moore had some obstacles in exploring the truth of Gulongdu in recent years because of his excessive obsession.
Although it is the real purpose to provide a place of convergence for Shining.
But protecting the other party and assisting in the exploration are also one of the reasons for visiting.
So he and Eudora rushed forward, smashed the falling sharp crystals, and took cover.
As the earthquake felt further intensified, the cocoons also reacted.
White light shines at the core, and blue lasers shoot out.
The dragon crystals that come into contact will immediately melt in large areas, and a violent explosion will occur after a while.
Not long after, the intensified shaking affected the stable suspension of the giant cocoon, and many silk pipelines cracked one after another.
Tear~
A five-toed claw protruded from the cocoon and swung it around.
This seemingly powerless wave not only intensified the shaking of the giant cocoon, but also severed several silk pipelines.
The tilted cocoon could no longer hold its own and opened a gap.
Wow~
A huge figure slid out and fell to the ground.
The figure squirmed for a moment, then turned from lying on its back to lying on its side, and then tried to lift the huge body from the ground with its four claws.
"What exactly is this!"
The head of the group fell into deep horror when he saw the whole picture of the Ming Lantern Dragon.
Li Fan, who was holding a knife to chop the sharp crystal thorns, shouted: "Evacuate quickly!"
The grand commander held up Moore, who had fallen to the ground and was seriously injured, with one hand, and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm sure I'm going to run away! There's no way I can stay!"
Li Fan said, grabbed Di Lu and ran away.
Eudora kept slashing in the air, shattering the spikes coming down to provide cover.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
The three of them jumped onto the boat. The captain put down Moore, picked up the oar and slid quickly.
As we moved away from the source of the vibration, the surrounding gradually became quiet.
Seeing Li Fan staring at the place of closure, the head of the group comforted him and said, "I know you are very reluctant, but you are lucky to be able to escape."
"I think so."
Li Fan's response surprised the group leader.
Boom! A huge rumbling sound passed through the cave.
The crystal spikes in the place of convergence shattered all over the place in an instant.
The captain stopped the oar and watched.
The rock wall above where the crystals were formed cracked open a huge circular pit, and a Snake King skull poked out.
As the skull rotates and dips, a body with fan blade scales and continuously split crystals is gradually revealed.
Ouch! The fierce roar of the Dark Lantern Dragon came, followed by another burst of crystal spikes smashing down.
"Is this still the new continent I have been exploring for many years?"
Things beyond cognition happened one after another, and it was already difficult for the leader to accept it.
"Since there are monsters restraining us, we plan to go back and continue observation."
Li Fan stood up and said.
"Count me in."
The grand leader said firmly.
"No, Moore is injured and needs to be escorted and taken care of."
Li Fan shook his head and said.
"I'm fine, I can go too"
Moore, who was lying down, suddenly raised a hand.
"Um?"
Moore is still awake, which is beyond Li Fan's expectation.
