"I will send him back first. Be careful when observing. I will come back to find you."
Seeing this, the Grand Commander could only send Moore back first.
"Don't worry, we won't get too close."
At the same time as Li Fan spoke, Eudora was already hanging upside down in the air, throwing out flying insect silk.
On a river full of crystal spikes, two people and a cat quickly moved away from the boat.
Not long after, the team landed on a shoal by the river.
At this time, the earthquake was still strong, but the intensity was gradually slowing down.
"The surface of the earth has been connected to the place of convergence. The time is just right. The next step is how to attract the other party."
Li Fan said and opened an elf ball.
Huh~huh~
Appearing in the narrow shallows on a clear day, Di Lu quickly put on the Wind God Dragon leather armor on the opponent.
"Tell it Qing Tian that the subordinates of this Pig King who visited just now are the subordinates of this Pig King. They just broke out of the cocoon when they found you. I won't bully you anymore. If you see me and my subordinates next time, remember to stay away."
After Li Fan gave the guidance, Qingtian thought for a moment, and then a humming sound rang out in his consciousness.
Ouch!
A loud roar rang out within the consciousness, and all members of the team subconsciously covered their ears.
But he soon realized that this was not a sonic shock, so he took off his helmet.
However, the reverberating hum of the roar still echoes in my mind, as if it reaches straight to my soul.
"Uh, what did the Underworld Lantern Dragon call meow?"
Dilu, who shook her head to regain consciousness, asked quickly.
"It said Big Wild Boar King. I have no fear. It seems that I really took the bait. What's wrong with you?"
Li Fan asked curiously when he saw Qingtian's body frozen in place.
Huh~huh?
"I am the big wild boar king, so what kind of king is it? Don't put so much pressure on it. It is not qualified to be king in front of you. Just call it Xiao Ming."
Qingtian has gone through quite a lot of experience following the team, but after all, he is just a big wild boar king, and Li Fan does not want him to bear the pressure that this race should not have.
"Uh, Li Fan, I haven't taken off the armor on Qingtian yet. Is there any problem?"
Eudora pointed to Sunny and said.
"Oops."
Li Fan looked at Qingtian, who kept breathing in through his nostrils with a proud look on his face, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Ouch!!!
In the place of closure, an angry roar came.
"Do you call it Xiao Ming in your mind?"
Hum~
"Hurry up and score the goal, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are discovered."
Li Fan immediately collected the ball on a sunny day and continued to fly near the finishing point.
"The roar just now was very muffled. It must have been crawling up in the passage."
After Li Fan made his judgment, the team chose to land, and sure enough, they did not witness the existence of the Dark Lantern Dragon.
So I came to the location of the cocoon and looked up at the huge hole drilled by Shining on the roof of the cave.
A large number of crystal fragments fell from the hole, and the muffled sound of slapping continued to be heard.
The giant body climbing vertically on the crystalline rock wall would slide down a certain distance every time it climbed up a few steps.
However, Minglanlong quickly mastered the climbing skills.
The two front paws with five toes consciously grasped the spiral cut left by the fan blade, and then squeezed to use force.
"Was it really just born?"
Eudora, who was watching, asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it feels like every aspect is growing at an incredible speed. It seems that only the mind is the shortcoming."
Li Fan commented.
Going from the cave to the surface is currently the fastest way.
However, there is a Dark Lantern Dragon climbing up, so the team cannot pass through rashly yet.
The reason is safety issues, and if an accident occurs and the Dark Lantern Dragon returns to the place of convergence, all the previous arrangements and plans will be in vain.
The team didn't want to waste this time, so they started investigating the interior of the Terminus.
In this way, even if the capture operation fails, some information can still be brought back to the stronghold.
Because a large number of spike crystals fell and the ground was in a mess, the team did not collect any valuable traces, so they continued to go deeper into the place of closure.
"I found something, meow!"
Dilu pointed to the crystalline rock wall on the roof of the cave and said.
Li Fanyudora followed the guidance and looked up.
Hundreds of black strips hanging downwards were seen.
Eudora flew up, pulled out the hunter's knife, cut off a small section of the front end, and dropped to the ground.
Looking at the blackened tube on her hand, she got closer and smelled it, but did not notice any special smell remaining.
"Looking at the shape and distribution, it seems to be a pipeline that injects life energy into the cocoon."
Li Fan speculated.
"Is this the state after weathering?"
"It doesn't look like it. It should be the traces left after high-temperature burning."
"If there have been insect cocoons here, doesn't it mean that there is more than one Dark Lantern Dragon bred here!"
Eudora came to a surprising conclusion.
"Yes, but the difference is that its emergence is terminated early."
Li Fan speculated that the ancient ecological destruction observed by the ancient dragon people successfully prevented the emergence of another dark lamp dragon.
"He suffered a heavy blow while in the cocoon, and he probably died."
Eudora said, observing the situation on the ground.
Because she didn't know how many years had passed, she felt that there might be no hope of finding the body, but she could still try to find the skeleton.
Li Fan saw the intention and informed: "There will be no skeleton, it is not dead."
"But if he's not dead, why didn't the investigation team notice it at all?"
"Maybe it doesn't want the outside world to know that it is still alive in the world."
Li Fan gave a guess.
"Are the characters of Ming Lanlong so different?"
Thinking of the fact that the Dark Lantern Dragon he was about to fight had been announced to the world before he was even born, Eudora felt that the contrast between the two was a bit too great.
"Those who are favored are confident. Maybe that's why the climbing sound in the cave has stopped. It's time for us to attack. Are you ready?"
Li Fan asked.
"certainly."
"Remember it for sure"
"Don't attack blindly. Don't worry, with our tacit understanding with the monster team, there won't be any problem."
Eudora spoke first.
"Okay then, attack!"
Eudora threw out the flying insect and flew into the huge cave with Li Fandilu.
At the core of the Dragon Crystal Land, beneath the largest columnar crystal mountain range, the Dark Lantern Dragon crawled out of the giant pit and reached the surface.
On the transparent epidermis covered with wrinkles, a little mucus is dripping.
The eyes that glowed orange and yellow were tightly closed because they could not adapt to the sunlight.
However, the Dark Lantern Dragon still frequently moved its head, using the six compound eyes on its head to explore its surroundings by sensing the flow of energy.
With the extremely attractive first monster competition, the Giant Snake Ruins City was dispatched this time, attracting more monsters to follow.
But the moment the Dark Lantern Dragon crawled out of the ground, all the monsters watching and participating in the battle immediately dispersed.
This fear does not come from species deterrence, but from the terrifying crushing intensity of life energy.
Not long after, the team flew out of the huge pit behind the tail of the Dark Lantern Dragon and came to a columnar crystal extending laterally outward.
"You can observe the energy transfer in the body just from the outside, meow"
While Dilu kept a close eye on the Dark Lantern Dragon, she carefully made ecological observation records.
Li Fan looked around the sky and informed: "Now we have to calm down and wait for the three ancient dragons to arrive."
A few minutes later, the Dark Lantern Dragon opened its eyes a slit and tried to observe the world visually.
It could be seen that the sunlight was still strongly irritating to his eyes, but the other party did not give up his plan, and his eyelids kept rising in the test.
"The three ancient dragons won't come, right?"
Seeing that the perception ability of the Dark Lantern Dragon was constantly increasing, Eudora said anxiously.
"Definitely, that's why they came here."
As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, explosions flew from a distance, and in the roar, a piece of exciting news was conveyed to the team.
"They're coming! Dilu!"
"I'm ready Meow!"
Di Lu said, taking out the wind dragon armor stacked in the backpack and unfolding it with cat claws.
Opening the elf ball, Qingtian had just appeared in the columnar crystal, and the pig's mouth was tightly covered by Eudora.
After Li Fan made a silent gesture, he whispered: "Tell it that my three subordinates will be there soon. Only by defeating them can you be qualified to face me."
Sunny, with sharp eyes, lightly stepped on the crystal pillar with his front hooves to show his understanding.
“Good action!”
Wow~ Dilu put the wind dragon armor on Qingtian's back.
Hum~hum~hum~
Hearing the pig's cry in his consciousness, Ming Denglong was stunned.
What makes it care is not only the content, but also the source of information in the consciousness, which seems to be very close to itself.
"Look here, meow!"
After hearing Di Lu's reminder, Li Fan immediately collected the elf ball on a sunny day.
All members of the team lay down and pressed their bodies against the crystal pillar to hide.
Although the Dark Lantern Dragon did not find the location of the team, it still did not stop searching. Fortunately, before too much time passed, two balls of orange fire descended from the sky, attracting its attention.
The King of Flame, the Dragon of Flame, the Concubine of Flame, hang high in the sky, reflecting each other.
The Dark Lantern Dragon looked up for a moment and let out a low roar.
The meaning is that if you tell me where Qingtian is, you will be spared.
The King of Yan and his wife continued to spread dust by waving their wings without giving any response.
The dark red color of the sky shrouded the Dark Lantern Dragon, and the surface of its transparent skin was covered with a layer of darkness.
Upon seeing this, the team immediately put on heat-resistant clothing. Li Fan did not expect that Yan Wang and his wife would be so determined.
Using Sunny Day to stimulate the Dark Lantern Dragon was just for fear that the two sides would reach some kind of agreement, but now it seems that it was too much to worry about.
The murderous intention of the three ancient dragons towards the Ming Lantern Dragon cannot be resolved at all.
The Ming Lantern Dragon, which received no response, remained silent for a moment, and the flow of energy that continued to surround its body also changed.
Begin to gather towards the forepaws, head, chest, and tail.
When it spreads to the end of the wings, it becomes transparent and flashes with white light under the infusion of full energy.
The Dark Lantern Dragon tried to stretch its wrinkled membrane wings and slowly waved them up and down.
Bang! It flew less than one meter before it crashed to the ground.
However, such a clumsy performance did not make the Yanwang couple relax at all, and they still insisted on increasing the dust concentration.
"It's time to evacuate."
Seeing the increasingly dense orange light spots around him, Li Fan immediately let go of his mischief and moved to a safe area.
"Could the Dark Lantern Dragon be unable to resist and die immediately?"
Eudora looked back and said with some worry.
"Probably not."
Seeing this posture, Li Fan was a little unsure.
Regarding some characteristics of the Dark Lantern Dragon, he can understand and master them based on the game content.
But the actual combat effectiveness is really difficult to judge without experiencing severe combat.
The most disadvantageous part is the infant state.
In terms of advantages, home court advantage and large size are currently the biggest reliance.
This is probably the reason why Yanwang and his wife are reluctant to land.
The team found a crystalline mountain that could avoid the impact, and continued to watch after landing.
In the dark red sky, orange light spots flying all over the sky looked like countless blinking eyes.
Bah~ Two white light spots flashed, and all the dust exploded at the same time.
Boom! A huge impact surged forward.
The team evaded and resisted for a moment, waiting for the impact to dissipate, and then quickly continued to wait and see.
On the ground covered with smoke, dust and fire, the Dark Lantern Dragon fell sideways, its four claws unable to move, and its transparent skin was covered with scorch marks.
"It hasn't learned how to fight yet."
Eudora discovered the problem.
"The energy flow has changed again"
Li Fan saw something different.
The previous energy flow of the Dark Lantern Dragon was spread to all parts of the body, but now it is all concentrated on the chest and head.
Slowly raising its huge body, the Dark Lantern Dragon barely stood, raised its head to face the air, and opened its mouth.
"The breath is released too slowly, and why is even the preview crooked?"
Regarding the clumsy performance of the Dark Lantern Dragon, Eudora covered her head and said.
Even though they knew that this breath could not pose much threat, the Yanwang couple still separated to avoid it while continuing to spread dust in the area.
Phew~buzz!
The energy beam erupted from the sky, instantly illuminating the sky into bright blue.
The intensity of the tilted energy was so terrifying that the team members far away from the scene felt palpitations.
It's a pity that even the location is wrong, so naturally it can't pose much threat to Yan Wang and his wife.
But what no one expected was that after more than ten seconds passed, the energy eruption from the mouth of the Dark Lantern Dragon continued.
The head that was shaking and tilting back due to the impact of the eruption gradually became stable.
The Dark Lantern Dragon began to consciously strengthen its control over the jet, turning its neck sideways to adjust its direction.
At this time, the body that slid sideways due to the impact became an obstacle to maintaining stability.
"Close the ground with the tips of your claws!"
This was Puff's way of stabilizing his body when he released the cutting ray. Li Fan felt that it was extremely suitable for the current Dark Lantern Dragon, so he couldn't help but shout out.
But the opponent obviously couldn't sense it, and the movement caused by the jet impact caused the Dark Lantern Dragon to move backwards uncontrollably.
Seeing the dust concentration rising again, Li Fan suddenly realized a problem: the steel dragon had not appeared yet.
If it is not an emergency, it means that the Yanwang couple still have a trump card.
Li Fan thought for a moment and conveyed the instructions in his mind to clasp the tips of his claws to the ground to keep his body stable.
Eudora and Dilu, who sensed it simultaneously, both looked at him in surprise.
After all, the Dark Lantern Dragon has not been captured yet. The more combat skills you pass on, the more difficult it will be to fight head-on.
"The Steel Dragon hasn't come yet, so we can't let the Dark Lantern Dragon get too bad."
Li Fan gave the reason.
After receiving the reminder in his consciousness, Ming Deng Long first tried by inserting his left front paw into the ground.
With a crashing and scratching sound, the sideways slide of the body was immediately relieved.
