The team returned to the stronghold. Li Fan and Eudora were both a little confused about the next move.
After thinking about it, Li Fan felt that the problem still lay in the insufficient intelligence. At that time, even if the Ice Dragon was hit, there was not much certainty that it would be captured.
So I decided to look for Broken Dragon to see if I could get more information.
After listening to the description of Explosion, which landed from the sky, I saw a painting board with a Broken Dragon, indicating that there was a Explosion Hammer Dragon that had just been killed by the monster in the painting, and I could lock down the opponent's general area.
The team set off immediately and headed to the outskirts of the Dragon Crystal Land.
In the evening, two roars and muffled sounds erupted on the columnar rock wall.
The collapse of the cave opened a small gap from the inside.
Broken Dragon sensed the external aura and confirmed that the Ice Dragon's sense had disappeared, then used the fist-shaped forefoot wrapped in slime mold to continue to hit the rock formations hard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions sounded, and the cave entrance blocked by rock fragments was quickly revealed.
Under the moonlight, Broken Dragon walked out of the cave. Before he could take a breath of fresh air outside the cave, he suddenly realized that several fierce eyes were looking at him.
A few minutes later, Broken Dragon, surrounded by monsters, lay sideways on the ground.
Ouch~
Even though he was covered in wounds, Broken Dragon still showed a very strong character, like a one-on-one challenge.
"Don't be so excited, we are not here to fight."
Li Fan said, walking out from behind Grudge Corner.
At this time, Broken Dragon, who was lying on his side on the ground, was shaking, and a mouthful of blood vomited from his mouth.
"Well, didn't I say just restricting movement? Why was the fight so miserable?"
Li Fan said with some surprise.
Ouch~
Angry Horn said it resisted.
"Then it's indeed your fault. How can you resist? Don't be stupid. We just want to understand the situation."
Li Fan came to the position of Broken Dragon's head and informed.
Broken Dragon's eyes swept around, and he weakly exhaled a high-temperature breath.
Reluctantly, he expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Putting the ice armor fragments collected at the ground veins in front of Broken Dragon's eyes, Li Fan asked, "How much do you know about it?"
Broken Dragon's eyes widened, and after a moment he let out a continuous low roar.
"That's it, let's all withdraw."
Under Broken Dragon's surprised gaze, Cheche and Lei Ge raised their claws one after another, and the many monsters surrounding them began to evacuate.
"As long as the existing ecology is not destroyed, the Dragon Crystal Land will always welcome you."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he turned and left.
"What information did Broken Dragon provide?"
On the way back to the camp, Eudora asked.
"It said that the ice dragon in the past was not so violent and hated by others. It was even a very respected monster in the eternal frost and frozen soil."
Li Fan informed.
"Is it because of the lack of ice armor that it is in this state?"
Eudora speculated.
"It has a certain relationship, but the main reason is that the peaceful life has been broken. The Ice Dragon once said that two voices have been tormenting it, causing it to be irritable all day long."
"Two voices. Couldn't they be Ming Deng Long and Qing Tian?"
Eudora asked tentatively.
"There must be the Dark Lantern Dragon, but the consciousness information transmitted by the Wind God Dragon's armor is not that far away, so the other voice is likely to be a voice in reality."
Li Fan gave a guess.
"If the consciousness is invaded by the Dark Lantern Dragon and the noise in reality surrounds it for a long time, it will indeed cause mental problems."
Eudora seems to be able to understand the feelings of the ice dragon.
"So if you want to achieve capture, you have to start from this aspect."
Li Fan felt that he had found the right direction.
"But the Ice Dragon already hates you."
"The Ice Dragon doesn't hold grudges that much, maybe it's almost forgotten."
Li Fan could only think about the good things.
The next day, the team informed the Ice Dragon that it had left the New World at the Dragon Crystal Base, and then boarded a transport ship and headed across the sea to the Yuechen Stronghold.
Since the navigation chart had been drawn, it only took the team two days to reach the other shore.
At this time, the ecological research institute, survey resource management office, workshop, steam engine and other facilities in the Yuechen base have been established.
The lights are brightly lit and the scene is prosperous.
On the notice board at the entrance to the stronghold, the Ecological Research Institute has just issued a contract to investigate the abnormality of the continued drop in temperature.
Li Fan speculated that it was caused by the return of the Ice Dragon.
In the command post, I exchanged information with Di Yan. Although the other party paid great attention to the return of the Ice Dragon.
But for now, only a few teams have the ability to track and investigate, so they can't come up with good countermeasures at the moment.
Here at the base, Aibo and Master Yuanye have made significant progress in their investigation.
The two of them discovered a large number of faults in the wild fields of permafrost soil, and confirmed that with the frequent occurrence of earthquakes, the gap between faults is still increasing.
By studying the information left behind by the first batch of adventurers who landed on the island, and seeking information from ancient dragon people.
Learn about a monster called the Great Being that destroys the ecosystem through its "singing".
"This progress is a bit fast."
Li Fan muttered.
"Well, why don't you seem surprised at all?"
Di Yan asked in surprise.
"Ai Bo and Master Yuanye are both very good compilers. I have expected that they can make significant progress. But about this great existence, do you have any specific information now?"
Li Fan asked.
"Yes, scholars believe that the great existence refers to the ice dragon."
Di Yan informed.
"What do you think?"
"I agree with the scholars."
"Well, since there is no good candidate for tracking and investigating the ice dragon, then I will do it."
Li Fan volunteered.
"Really? Thank you so much Li Fan."
Di Yan solemnly expressed his thanks.
"You're welcome. As the leader of the fifth phase, my first choice of tasks is of course the most cutting-edge ones."
After exchanging information, Li Fan came to the workshop and presented a design drawing.
The craftsman scratched his head after reading it, but the leader of the fifth phase had no shortage of materials or research points, so he took the order to build it.
After arriving at the residence of Yuechen Stronghold and resting for the night, the team headed towards the wild as the sun rose the next day.
Before riding Sunny Day too far, a familiar roar came.
Li Fan looked up and saw Yaya stepping sideways on a coniferous tree.
"What happened Yaya?"
This place is very close to the stronghold, and Li Fan feels that if there is no emergency, Ya Ya will not approach rashly.
Ouch~ow~
"Why does your girlfriend's family want to launch an attack on the Yuechen stronghold and humans?"
Li Fan understood Yaya's description and was quite surprised.
Because it is very rare among monsters to consciously attack human strongholds, let alone gather the power of the group.
Ouch. Ouch.
Ya Ya said that he didn't know, but it seemed to be related to the evolution of the Ice Tooth Dragon clan. As for the instigator behind the scenes, his girlfriend only said that he was the strongest monster in the eternal frost soil.
Is it related to evolution? Is it a way to mutate into a Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon?
Li Fan immediately thought of a possibility.
As for the person who has the ability to be the instigator behind the scenes, it must be the Ice Dragon who has re-formed into ice armor.
Just as Li Fan was thinking, a gust of cold wind blew.
The team looked up and saw that it was Feng Piao Long Piao Piao.
Oooh~ooh~ooh.
Seeing Piao Piao flying in circles and roaring urgently, Li Fan asked tentatively: "Piao Piao, are you going to tell me that the Feng Piao dragon tribe will attack humans?"
Ouch! Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gave confirmation.
"Oh my god, is this the revenge of the Ice Dragon? It seems that it not only has a say in the eternal frost and frozen soil, but also holds the key to the mutation of the Ice Tooth Dragon and the Fengdiao Dragon."
Li Fan originally thought that because of his own restrictions on the Ice Dragon, the defense battle of the Yuechen stronghold in the game would not happen at all.
As a result, due to a strange combination of circumstances, he became the dominant factor.
"Is there an exact time?"
Li Fan asked Piaopiao.
Ouch~
Piaopiao said that when frost sweeps across the earth, it is the time for the tribe to attack.
"Well, it seems we have to think of a solution."
It may be difficult for Li Fan to stop the ice dragon, but if there is no way to restrict the wind drifting dragon and the ice tooth dragon, then simply stop hanging around in the eternal frost.
Ouch~ow!
Piao Piao gave instructions, saying not to publicize that she had leaked the secret, and then spread her wings and flew away.
Yaya jumped down from the top of the tree and said it didn't matter. Anyway, his girlfriend's tribe didn't like him, so it would be better to attack the human stronghold and be wiped out.
The reason why I am anxious to inform you is that I hope the monster team can take precautions.
"Mastering the key to mutation is the main reason why the Ice Dragon can drive the two groups. But starting from this aspect, time is obviously not enough, so we should find the leaders of the two groups and negotiate amicably."
Li Fan quickly determined the strategy.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
Anger, Brother Lei, and Cheche appeared in the snow one after another.
As a member of what the guild calls "the thugs above the ice sea", Yaya naturally sides with the three monsters.
"Ya Ya, you know the way, right?"
Li Fan asked.
Ouch~
Yaya said of course, when delivering food to his girlfriend, he had to go back and forth several times a day.
"That's alright. The main strategy is still to focus on friendly communication. We need to make the Ice-toothed Dragon tribe realize that attacking humans and human strongholds is a very unfriendly behavior. Only under unavoidable circumstances can we use a little violence. Generally speaking, we need to
Conquer monsters with virtue."
Li Fan stated the combat strategy.
Ouch~
The four Binghai brothers responded, saying that what they are best at is conquering monsters with virtue.
"Okay, let's go."
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
There was a loud roar, and under the leadership of Yaya, the monsters started running on the snowy field.
Next, Little Idiot, Naughty, Xixi, and Explosion appeared from the ball one after another.
Li Fan gave some similar instructions, and the monsters flew away and went to the airspace where Fengdiaolong lived to negotiate.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan found that there were no other ice monsters that might be driven by the Ice Dragon, so Li Fan returned to Yuechen Stronghold.
"The next time a snowstorm comes, the Ice Dragon will attack the Yuechen stronghold!"
In the command post, Commander-in-Chief Di Yan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Yes, my suggestion is to prepare early. Since the Everfrost Tundra has been connected to the New World route, and the star stronghold is not in danger at the moment, it is better to secondment some of the defense facilities and personnel."
Li Fan gave suggestions.
"Okay, I'll contact the old man right away."
Although Di Yan is the commander-in-chief, this is the first time he has participated in an ancient dragon-level battle to guard a stronghold.
But the chief hunter in front of him was different. Feiye Fortress and Dongdoruma participated in the guard operations twice, and both performed extremely well.
"In addition, the ice dragon has very little contact with humans, and the other party may not be able to tell where the real stronghold is. We can establish a city defense area to achieve induction, so that the stronghold will not be affected, and at the same time, we can choose the best location for us.
Favorable terrain to launch operations."
Li Fan gave his thoughts on the challenge area.
If the attack is from the Steel Dragon, Yan Wang and his wife, this kind of ancient dragon has more contact with humans.
This kind of inducement will not work at all, and the other party will even deliberately bypass it and penetrate into the core area of the stronghold to wreak havoc.
But the Ice Dragon is different. The so-called human stronghold is just a very vague concept in its mind.
If there are buildings and human activities, they will be regarded as "strongholds". Maybe they don't even know what artillery is.
"It makes sense! Leader of the fifth phase, please wait a moment."
As Di Yan spoke, he opened a book on the table and started recording it carefully.
An hour later, after Li Fan had finished making combat arrangements, he just came out of the command post when the bronze bell used for emergency summons at the Yuechen stronghold was rang by Di Yan.
All hunters with three stars and above rushed over.
The team set off at this time and headed for the ice field.
After riding in one direction on a sunny day for about five hours, distant rumbling sounds, accompanied by slight tremors on the ground, spread through the air.
Woo~woo~woo.
"Is this the sound of singing?"
Eudora, who listened for a moment, asked with a surprised look on his face.
"That's right."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he observed the cracks and faults emerging on the surrounding snow.
"The duration is not very long, and the sound is not very harsh. Why can't the Ice Dragon bear it?"
Dilu asked curiously.
"The Ice Dragon's perception method and hearing range may be different from other monsters. Perhaps this acceptable vibration sounds to it like a sonic bomb exploding in its ears."
Li Fan gave a guess.
"Ai Bo's ecological report said that singing occurs everywhere in the eternal frost and frozen soil. Assuming that the ice dragon's perception of this place is strong enough, the frequency of singing that may be heard will also increase significantly. Maybe it happens all the time.
Maybe you can hear it."
Eudora expressed her opinion.
"I understand, meow. As long as your hearing or perception is good enough, all singing sounds that appear will be detected."
Di Lu suddenly realized.
"Will this help capture the ice dragon?"
Eudora asked.
"Yes, at least we have found out what is bothering it. Let's go back to the stronghold and prepare for war."
Li Fan sighed and said.
"If this recapture fails, will it be completely eradicated?"
Eudora asked tentatively.
"Yes, I have become familiar with the stronghold's defense facilities after the confrontation. If it cannot be captured, it will pose a fatal threat to Yuechen Stronghold."
Li Fan answered in the affirmative.
"I see."
Eudora was silent for a moment, then jumped onto Qingtian's back.
After learning that the attack was about to hit the Xingchen stronghold, we fully mobilized our transportation capabilities to fully support the Yuechen stronghold.
