Among the undulating mountains, towering trees stood erect, and the annoying cry of the Corythosaurus kept echoing.
Countless city wall ruins along the way have been integrated with the natural ecology.
After the team traveled on the high ground of the city for three hours, they saw a stone bridge leading to the ruined castle in the distance.
Through the warning signs set up by the Elgaard branch, the team learned that there might be a Silver Dragon in the castle, and it was forbidden to set foot in it, otherwise it would be considered poaching.
Cheqi, the female receptionist, also solemnly reminded me of this when giving out the contract.
The reason is also very simple. It is possible for a hunter to escape if he provokes the Wanjue Silver Dragon.
But the Elgaard branch cannot escape, and neither can the kingdom.
Jueyinlong's performance has been relatively stable in recent years, so not to provoke it is the best strategy.
“It’s a bit cold if you don’t drink it, but it’s a bit hot if you drink it.”
Li Fan looked at the hot drink in his hand and put it back into his backpack after a while.
"A swamp, a poisonous swamp, was found nearby, but no trace of the Tangled Beast was found."
Eudora dropped from the sky and informed.
"Can't you use the handheld device to summon me?"
Dilu asked.
"I have never gotten along with Xiaogang. He cannot understand the meaning of the click sensor, so he can only follow the traditional hunter method to track him."
Theoretically, Xiaogang can receive the response from the handheld device when he clicks on the avatar.
But because he couldn't understand the meaning, even if he sensed Li Fan's location, he would not go close.
What's more, I am troubled by rodents, so I have no intention to delve deeper.
"The terrain here is so complex, relying on scent tracking is the best option, but there are no samples."
Eudora said helplessly.
"I brought samples."
Li Fan said, taking out a reagent bottle containing yellow liquid and introducing it.
"This is a very concentrated body fertilizer solution. I got it from the branch research institute before departure. It is the body fluid of the Gangtang Beast. It is said to be able to effectively promote plant growth."
"I'm coming, meow!"
Dilu stretched out her claws to take it.
"Well, when the researcher gave it to me, he said that the extra concentrated body fat liquid has a strong taste and that it should be borne by only one member of the team."
Li Fan explained.
"I'm here. As a hunter, no smell can stop me from moving forward."
Eudora said, waved her hand and took the reagent bottle, then pulled out the cork after walking away.
vomit~vomit~
Seeing that Eudora knelt down and retched after just smelling it, Dilu quickly ran over to check the status.
vomit~meow~vomit~meow
Seeing that Di Lu also fell to her knees, Li Fan helplessly held his forehead.
"Well, this smell is engraved in my heart, let's go."
Eudora wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and stood up resolutely.
After the team set out on the road again, many mosquitoes and ghost firebirds were attracted and started to follow Eudora and Dilu.
Three hours later, evening came and the sky became dark.
Based on the smell, the team finally found the location of the Gangtang Beast in an indented mountain area.
The rigid beast that looks like a giant ape is currently crawling on the ground with a painful expression, its three-toed giant palms are stretching forward as hard as they can, and they are constantly grabbing at the soil surface.
Sensing the approach of the team, the forearm covered with thick carapace suddenly raised up, and the red eyes on the ape-like face scanned in vigilance.
"Hello Xiaogang, do you still remember me?"
Li Fan waved and said hello.
Xiaogang lowered his head and looked around. His expression softened slightly, but he suddenly gritted his teeth. After shaking his head slightly, his expression immediately became fierce.
Uh-huh!
A dull cry sounded.
Buzzing~chirping~chirping~
A large number of small creatures flew away from Xiaogang's thick moss-covered shell.
"Don't bother me, or you will all die."
After Li Fan finished translating, he tried to throw an empty diamond ball.
Peng! Xiaogang raised his front palm and smashed the ball into the soil.
"He has serious violent tendencies and refuses to return to the ball. It seems that Xiaogang needs to be calmed down first."
Li Fan took off the satiety ball on his shoulder strap.
Whoosh~ There was a flash of white light, and Bie Biezi appeared.
In fact, if you want to deal with Xiaogang, you don't need Bie Bie Zi at all, but you are not afraid of the Mad Dragon Virus or the rodent monsters. It seems that there are only three in the team, Xiao Ming, Hui Hui, and Bie Bie Zi.
Xiao Ming's body is full of flowing life energy, and there is no room for viruses or rodents to survive.
But Xiao Ming himself is a natural disaster. If he really appears in Elgaard, the harm may be greater than that of the Abyssal Dragon.
Hui Hui had already been infected with the Mad Dragon Virus, and had managed to survive to the extreme. As for the rodents, even if there was a possibility of invading through the gaps in the carapace, they were destined to be unable to withstand the heat wave during flight.
It's a pity that although the life energy will not have a wide-ranging deterrent effect like the dragon attribute, once Huihui flies at low altitude, it will still have a serious impact on the ecology it passes.
This is not a new continent. Every action taken by a monster may have a profound impact on humans in the area.
Li Fan feels that he must be cautious in this regard.
The beast can be regenerated through super regeneration, hardened by the Dragon Virus and Rodent.
In addition to being more edible, it can be said to be ecologically safe and environmentally friendly, making it the best choice for monsters.
Xiaogang stared at Bie Biezi hovering in the air for a moment, and then let out a relatively gentle cry.
Uh-huh~
"I feel so uncomfortable, please let me go."
Ouch?
Biebazi bared his fangs and asked curiously, is this the end of the world?
The somewhat confused Xiao Gang still wanted to communicate, but a dark red light suddenly emerged from the gap in the thick carapace on his back.
Woohoo!
Xiaogang looked up to the sky and roared, showing his violence.
Paji~
The next second, Xiaogang's head was pressed deeply into the soil by Meiezi's open claws.
"It's a bit difficult to deal with the gap in the carapace on the back."
Li Fan looked troubled.
"Let Meiezi control Xiaogang, and we'll take action."
Eudora gives a plan.
"Then remove it manually, but you must be careful. Although rodents generally do not parasitize small organisms, they are extremely toxic to humans. The antidote has not been developed yet, so do not touch them.
.”
After Li Fan finished speaking, the team started taking action.
Peng~咩咩子's other pointed claw pressed down and controlled the Gangtang Beast's forearm.
The Gangbang Beast originally wanted to resist, but it was horrified to realize that its body was sinking under the weight of its claws, and then it became calm.
The two stepped on the green moss-covered carapace on their forearms and climbed up, and soon reached the back.
Zeng~Zeng~hu~
The two pulled out their hunter's knives, and one cat raised an insect net to try to get rid of the rodents.
Inserting the hunter's knife into the gap of the dark red carapace, Eudora changed the grip with both hands and pried it upward with all her strength.
"Uh, pry it open."
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw the dark red worms in the gap between the carapace and flesh.
"It's not surprising that if you are attached to something like this all day long, you will go crazy. Hold on, Xiaogang!"
After Li Fan finished speaking, he put his hand in and slashed quickly with the hunter's knife.
Puff~ Puff~
Zhizhi~zhizhi~
The dense chirping of insects and the flapping of bat wings sounded at the same time.
Seeing the red light pouring out, Li Fan reminded loudly: "Get out!"
The two quickly pulled away and faced the swarm of insects. Dilu held the insect net and swung it quickly.
Zhiqua~zhiqua~
After a burst of biting sounds, the G-class insect net was bitten open, and the escaped rodents and the detached insect swarm reunited to form a dark red ball.
The red ball moved sideways for a moment, then moved toward Xiaogang's forearm during the spin.
But just before it was about to pour into the gap between the thick forearm carapace, it suddenly stopped in mid-air and entered a hovering state.
Zhizhi~zhizhi
The dense flapping sound of bat wings suddenly intensified, and the red ball turned and flew towards Meiezi.
Zhiqua~zhiqua~
After a burst of gnawing sounds, the dark red worms quickly disappeared from Biemezi's back.
"Rodents are really good at getting in from the back."
The characteristics that Eudora heard from Li Fan before were now confirmed one by one.
Uh-huh~
At this time, although Xiaogang was still under heavy pressure, he gave his solemn thanks.
Apparently after getting rid of the rodents, my own pain was greatly relieved.
Uh-huh~
But soon Xiaogang said that the new pain was a bit unbearable and he hoped that Meimezi would be gentler.
"Stop it, Meiezi, there is no need to suppress Xiaogang anymore."
After Li Fan finished speaking, Bie Meazi immediately raised his paws and jumped out.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ouch~
Meiezi said no.
"How is this possible? They are rodents."
Li Fan was also quite surprised by this answer.
Ouch!
Bie Bie Zi suddenly noticed something and roared excitedly.
"Haha, it feels like the energy and blood are being absorbed. What's so happy about it?"
Li Fan was also speechless.
Ouch~ow~
Baa Yazi kept roaring and started introducing.
"Haha, so that's it."
"Why are you so happy?"
Eudora helplessly held her forehead.
"Eudora, do you remember the power-charging training with the help of the super-regenerative disc?"
"Of course, I invented this training method."
"How to implement it?"
"Infusing the body with unbearable force causes the body's muscles to be overloaded and damaged. At the same time, the super-regenerative disc is activated to continuously repair. This continuous cycle is used to achieve the purpose of rapidly increasing the body's strength."
Eudora explained the principle.
"If we can't infuse the body with unbearable power, then even if the body is in a super-regenerative state all the time, it won't be able to improve the body?"
"Uh, that's right."
Eudora said firmly.
The time limit of ten minutes a day to regenerate the disc is very precious, but it is equally important to allow the body to be torn and damaged.
Otherwise, even if it is permanently in a super-regenerative state, it will not bring about any improvement.
"Wait a minute, are you saying that Meiezi is using rodents to tear apart his body to achieve training purposes?"
Eudora asked tentatively in surprise.
"Well, not really."
Li Fan sighed and said.
"I'm just telling you, how can something as scary as a rodent have any beneficial effects?"
Eudora let out a long breath.
"That's right, meow, think of a way to help me get rid of it."
Di Lu admitted that after all, this kind of insect is really scary.
"The reason why it's not considered a problem is not that Eudora's analysis is wrong, but that Biemezi feels that these life-eating insects are too few and too weak."
Li Fan informed.
"ah?"
"Ah meow?"
Eudora and Dilu exclaimed at the same time.
Late at night, Li Fan held the recovery medicine on the carapace on Xiaogang's back and poured the green solution into the gap in the carapace.
After emptying it, Dilu took the empty bottle, picked up a new bottle of recovery medicine and handed it out.
"Is Xiaogang okay, meow?"
"There is no danger to life, but basically the entire back is attached to rodents. If not treated in time, the carapace on the back may permanently fall off."
Li Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and informed.
"The recovery potion is about to run out, meow."
Di Lu looked at the dozen empty bottles in his backpack and sighed helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. Eudora has already rushed back to the public camp. I still have the pollen from the ghost firebird. Who asked you to collect the red dust."
Li Fan, who originally had high expectations, saw the return of a group of ghost firebirds filled with red dust, and his face suddenly became filled with despair.
Buzz~buzz~buzz~
Some of the flock of ghost firebirds landed on Xiaogang's carapace, while others flew around.
"Only the green ones have healing effects."
Li Fan picked up a bottle of recovery medicine and showed it.
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
The ghost firebirds looked at each other, scattered the red dust carried in their abdominal pouches, and flew away again.
"Not sleepy at all, nya!"
After Dilu inhaled the red dust, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Rub the black pills of the secret medicine and apply it on it to have a certain healing effect."
Li Fan started researching other products with healing effects.
"I'm back!"
At this time, Eudora, carrying two large boxes of recovery medicine in both hands, returned flying in the air.
"Huh~ If I hadn't gotten lost along the way, it might have been faster."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Fan said, picking up a bottle and checking it.
"Isn't this the recovery potion for supplies?"
Li Fan asked in surprise when he saw the logo on the bottle.
"Yes, but the camp manager told me not to be polite. You can take as much as you want."
"Well, let's continue with the treatment."
Early the next morning, warm sunlight shone into the mountains.
Bah~poof~
A bud breaks out of the soil.
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
Hearing the cheerful chirping of the ghost firebird, Xiaogang, who was lying on his side, slowly opened his eyes.
Uh-huh?
After a brief feeling, Xiaogang unexpectedly noticed that the severe pain in the wound on his back had disappeared.
Just when Xiaogang was recalling whether last night's experience was a dream, his eyes swept across a white thorn piercing the soil.
Peng! Peng!
Xiaogang was immediately frightened and took two steps back.
"It seems to be in good condition. There should be no problem. If the back shell shows signs of corrosion and looseness, remember to come to me."
Li Fan, who was observing with a handheld device, walked over.
Uh-huh!
Xiaogang said excitedly, "You are the human being who sent me back to my hometown!"
"That's right, it's me. Human beings will be very wary of you in the next period of time, and there will soon be big problems in the ecology here. I suggest you go to Longgong Ancient City to hide."
Li Fan informed.
Uh-huh~
Xiaogang said that he also felt that the ecology here was getting worse and worse. Unfortunately, the little crab could not carry it on its back, and it was later taken over by terrible bugs.
"Isn't it the big shield crab you're talking about on the little crab's back?"
Li Fan raised his hands above his head, simulating crab claws.
Uh-huh~
Xiaogang said that it was him, and he didn’t know how he was doing now, and he missed him a little.
"It's actually back. Let's not talk about this topic anymore. I'll let your old friend take you away. The ecology of Longgong Ancient City may not be suitable for you, but it is better than being eroded by rodents here all day long."
