Dilu, who often helps the monster team trim carapace scales, has mastered the plundering knife technique to cut a small amount of material without damaging the monster.
Fu Mianlong, who had already closed his eyes and prepared to endure the pain, was quite surprised by this.
"It's done nya!"
Di Lu held up the storage bag and ran to Li Fan.
"Well done Dilu. With the capabilities of the Institute of Ecology, we should be able to analyze the original habitat of the Floating Sleeping Dragon based on these materials."
The little fool naughtily backed away immediately. The floating dragon got up from the ground and shook the dust off its fur. It looked at the two people and the cat in confusion.
"By the way, tell your water demon bird brother that the situation has been very tight recently, so keep a low profile."
The establishment of the Yuechen stronghold greatly reduced the number of hunters stationed in the New World.
But Frye's recruitment investigation caused many hunters to return.
As a subspecies, the water demon bird is a key investigation target on the list.
Ouch~
The floating sleeping dragon lowered its head and roared.
"You guys should get separated. The end of this canyon is connected to a larger canyon. When you walk to the exit, you will find the place where the water demon bird lives."
Li Fan informed.
The floating dragon understood for a moment, then spread its wings and took off.
The team returned to the Star Stronghold and submitted the investigation contract with materials.
The help of pure materials for research is obviously not as comprehensive as that of a whole monster corpse.
But in terms of carrying time, it has an unparalleled speed advantage.
The Ecological Research Institute, built under an ancient tree, is currently busy.
When Li Fan asked, he found out that it turned out that abnormal reports were frequently issued in various places during this period, which occupied all research resources.
The relocation of the research base has brought a considerable impact on scientific research in the New World.
After looking through the abnormal situations in several episodes, Li Fan immediately made a major discovery.
"It's really coming."
"Who? I only saw information about the appearance of a suspected Velociraptor."
Eudora asked unexpectedly.
"These frozen traces are what it left behind. But why did it come to the ancient tree forest?"
Li Fan couldn't understand something.
According to the settings in the game, the Ice Dragon came to the New World to use the leyline environment of the Dragon Crystal Land to regenerate ice armor for itself.
The ancient tree forest obviously did not have similar conditions, but the other party still chose to live in it.
"Maybe he just doesn't know the way, just like the floating dragon."
Eudora speculated.
"How is that possible? Well, it seems to make sense."
Li Fan said suddenly.
"Looking at it this way, isn't the new direction of investigation very clear?"
"That's right, let's go right away."
There was a burst of black smoke, and the Fire Horn immediately rushed to the ancient tree forest.
Three days passed, and the investigation did not go as smoothly as expected.
Following the tracking of the guide insects, the team did find many traces of ice, but they still had no clue as to where the ice dragon was.
However, there were many sharp three-toed claw marks, making the whereabouts of the other monster more clear.
In the evening, in the cabin living room, the team was sorting out the traces collected during the day.
"Many hunter scholars have been attacked by that velociraptor recently. I think the stronghold will issue a contract in about two days."
Dilu encapsulated the collected black fluff and gave a guess.
"There have never been velociraptors in the New World before. Could it be that they also migrated from the eternal frost soil?"
Eudora couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Because according to past ecological information, velociraptors rarely appear in cold areas.
"There is an area that integrates many ecologies, just near the eternal frost soil. They must have migrated from there."
After talking about his speculation, Li Fan thought of a possibility, so he asked tentatively: "You said about the traces of the ice dragon, does the velociraptor know anything?"
"If they all migrated here and live in the same area, I think it's possible!"
Eudora agreed.
"Since there has been no progress in tracking, it is better to start with this Velociraptor. Even if no usable information is found, the investigation environment of the Ancient Tree Forest can be stabilized."
Li Fan expressed his thoughts.
The team is not the only one tracking and investigating the traces of the Ice Dragon.
It is normal for other hunters and scholars to achieve results, but the appearance of the Velociraptor can only play a negative role in hindering tracking.
"Be careful, meow, the hunters say that velociraptor is very powerful."
Dilu reminded.
"Don't worry, after eating the cat meal, we will set off tonight."
Li Fan said with confidence.
Late at night, two people and a cat rappelled from the Flame into the trees.
The Velociraptor's hearing is very keen. In order not to alert the snake, the naughty little idiot was on standby at high altitude.
Li Fan only released Ye Ye and assisted the team in their exploration.
Compared with the irregular traces of the Ice Dragon, most of the traces left by the Velociraptor are traceable.
Claw marks left by climbing trees, the chewed corpses of herbivorous monsters, all traces can provide certain clues to the location of the Velociraptor.
It only took the team two hours to find the general range.
Chichi~
Three groups of guide insects were swirling and swarming towards the top of the trunk of an ancient tree.
Li Fan made a silent gesture, lay down on the spot, took out his telescope and looked at the top of the tree trunk in the distance.
This is an ancient tree with a slightly shorter crown and a slightly shorter height. This shape of tree is very suitable for Velociraptors to use as their nests.
After a few minutes of observation, the team confirmed that the Velociraptor was not currently in the tree canopy.
As for the reaction of the guide insects, it is speculated that it may be caused by excessive trace residue.
Two people and one cat quietly sneaked under the tree, climbed to the canopy, and explored the nest wrapped in dense leaves.
Li Fan found several rod-shaped black spines, which are produced in the tail of Velociraptor.
He speculated that it was this trace residue that caused the guide insects to have a strong reaction.
"Velociraptors usually hunt at night and return to their nests to rest during the day. Let's set up an ambush here."
After Li Fan gave the plan, Eudora followed the vines to the distance and began to become familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Di Lu came to the center of the canopy nest and set up a paralysis trap using a group of rotten tree branches as a cover.
Swish~swish~
After sprinkling another layer of withered leaves, Dilu lay down and checked to make sure the trap was placed correctly before getting up and leaving.
The two found a suitable ambush position, and the next thing to do was to wait.
A few hours passed, and a bright light appeared in the sky in the distance.
rustle~
The trembling sound of leaves rubbing against each other rang in my ears.
The team immediately went on alert.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
Continuous climbing and stepping sounds, from far to near.
Not long after, a dark shadow emerged from the dense leaves.
The swift black shadow moved left and right between the ancient trees, traveling rapidly.
Before I could see its shape clearly, I jumped to the top of the tree crown.
Click~
The left paw that stepped on the rotten tree branch sank slightly, and at the same time, a crisp sound came out.
Snap~
The disc-shaped paralysis trap began to continuously emit orange electric light.
From head to toe, the Velociraptor's entire body froze in tremors.
Looking at the black strip of tail bent in mid-air, Eudora, who had already completed his stance, slightly adjusted the direction of the attack, swung the dragon heat mechanism behind him, and charged up the force.
Li Fan walked around to Xunlong's side, raised his knife and aimed it at his front paws.
At this time, the paralyzed Xunlong followed Li Fan with his eyes, glaring angrily.
"What are you looking at? I'll kill you with this knife! Drink!"
The thundering sword fell, and blood and golden lightning spurted out.
Except for the slight expansion of the opening of the Velociraptor's mouth, his whole body was still shaking violently with paralysis.
"Hey!"
A powerful woman shouted, followed by a shout from behind.
Xunlong only felt a light behind him, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
After realizing that he was back in action, he put his four paws on the ground and immediately opened the distance with a spin.
Just as the Velociraptor was examining the movements of the two enemies, the tip of a black tail fell from the air and hit the tree crown.
At first, the Velociraptor thought the tail looked familiar, but after he recognized it, a large amount of blood immediately rushed to his eyes.
Ouch!
A sharp roar pierced through the jungle.
The Velociraptor lowered its body, put its four claws on the ground to gather momentum for a moment, and then jumped up and pounced towards Eudora.
Eudora swung at the sharp claws, moved her body sideways, then grabbed the hilt of the sword and swung it horizontally.
when!
The Velociraptor, who was hit on the head by the back of the sword, shifted its body in the air and fell prematurely.
When the front paws touch the crown of the tree, the body is supported on the ground to complete the rotation. At this time, the tail swinging downward in mid-air suddenly changes from bending to straightening.
呲呲~嗖!
There was an explosive sound of a whip whipping.
The Velociraptor jumped up and slammed down with its hardened and straight tail.
Eudora held the hilt of the sword with one hand and the sword body with the other hand to resist.
Boom~
The impact caused a crisp sound, and Eudora, who was knocked into the air, kept moving backwards. Even after retreating to the edge, he failed to resolve the impact and fell directly from the tree crown.
Ouch~ow!
Xunlong swung around and turned around, this time targeting Li Fan.
"I underestimated you."
Li Fan also didn't expect that a seemingly ordinary velociraptor could explode with such powerful combat power.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Xunlong, with a red light in his eyes, paid no attention to the content of Li Fan's words and simply vented his anger with violent outbursts.
"Dilu! Gather the little fools to be naughty!"
Upon hearing the order, Dilu immediately fired two signal flares towards the top of the jungle.
After looking at the bleeding front paws and the remaining half of his tail, Li Fan, who was in the confrontation, suddenly put the Thunder God Sword behind his back.
Hua Cha~ Hua Cha~
In the dense trees above, two large holes suddenly burst out, and two fire dragons, one gold and one silver, swooped out.
Huh~huh~
The huge wind pressure brought by the hovering flight blew up the withered leaves on the tree crown.
"Obviously, you lost."
Li Fan informed softly.
Ouch~ The Velociraptor let out a low growl of reluctance. It seemed that he already knew that he could not escape, but his body still maintained a confrontational posture.
