Back in the hotel room, Eudora was already sitting in the room with a bunch of supplies.
"Because the large explosive barrel cannot be stored in the sandstone cave, you have to go to the storage point outside to pick it up tomorrow."
Eudora looked at the purchase list and informed.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"In addition, fishing rods made of strong keels have been purchased, but fishing lines made of twisted spider silk are not available here. The grocery store owner recommended a fishing line made of iron worm silk, saying that except for its flexibility, it is worse than spider silk fishing line.
Some, in terms of toughness, can far exceed some fishing lines."
"Iron worm wire! Is it the kind with cyan fluorescence?"
Li Fan asked in surprise.
"There is no reason why a fishing line should shine, but I pulled both ends and did a tension test on site. There was no sign of breaking or thinning at all. Unfortunately, the price is a bit expensive, so I decided to come back to discuss it."
Eudora informed.
"Then before we leave tomorrow, let's go to the grocery store together."
"OK!"
Early the next morning, the team arrived at the grocery store in Sand Rock Cave.
When he heard that he was coming to consult Tie Chongsi, the brown-skinned middle-aged male boss searched for a while in the slightly messy store.
Finally, I took out a roll of wire the thickness of a water pipe.
The surface of the wire is gray and the texture is hard. It looks completely different from ordinary fishing lines.
"This kind of worm silk is brought by the caravan from the Kingdom of Xishuide. Each big flying worm can only produce one piece."
"Wait a minute, boss, isn't the giant flying insect a creature found in Yanhuo Village?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
The giant flying insect is an insect that is cultivated at a fixed point and allowed to fly over obstacles in the mountains and forests by dragging the wire released by its tail in the wild. It is unique to the area around Yanhuo Village.
"Um, I said it can be sold for more money if it comes from there. The source of the goods is indeed in Yanhuo Village."
As soon as the boss saw that Li Fan knew the goods, he didn't hide anything.
After careful observation, Li Fan felt that this was indeed iron worm silk, or a large-diameter version that could only be spit out by the tail of a large flying worm.
But the end has completely lost its activity because there are no big flies.
However, since it can carry a heavily armored hunter across the mountains and forests, its toughness and strength are definitely guaranteed.
"How much?"
“Originally it was 5,000 a piece, but now it’s discounted to 4,500.”
"2000!"
"make a deal!"
"ah?"
Before Li Fan could figure out the situation, the large-diameter coil of iron worm wire had been placed in his arms by his boss.
"Okay, Eudora gives you the money."
Wrapping the iron worm wire sideways around his shoulders to secure it, Li Fan rushed to the dangerous goods warehouse outside the sandstone cave.
The small pergola made of wooden boards is covered with eye-catching red warning signs.
Not far away, an Elle cat was sitting on a lounge chair under a parasol, closing its eyes and resting leisurely.
"Excuse me, we need to buy bomb barrels."
Li Fan greeted.
"It's business, meow!"
Eluma's ears perked up, he jumped off the couch and ran over quickly.
"Please show me a hunter badge with three stars or above, and a hunting contract."
After the verification was completed, Elumao gave a quotation: "Since the market has been bullish recently, the price of the large explosive barrel is 4350z each."
"So expensive?"
Li Fan said in surprise.
"I can't help it. It seems that some powerful people are hoarding goods on a large scale. This is a sales point opened by the guild. There will definitely be no deception on the price."
Elma assured.
"Then let's have two."
"Are you going to hunt the Diemsaurus, nya?"
Elma said with a smile.
"That's right."
"Well, that's the right choice, meow! There are sand boats for rent at the entrance of the sandstone cave. You can check it out if you need it. I'm going to pick up the goods, so don't come close."
As Elmao spoke, she opened an iron box next to the recliner, took out a set of iron plate armor, and put it on skillfully.
Then he pushed the flatbed truck and rushed all the way into the dangerous goods warehouse.
When the flatbed truck was pushed back, there were already multiple explosive barrels as high as one person on the truck.
Li Fan and Eudora handled it with care. After completing the uninstallation, Elumao quickly pushed in the second one.
"You must be very experienced hunters if you know how to use explosive barrels to deal with Diosaurus. However, this user manual must still be distributed as usual."
After taking the book and paying the fee, Li Fan and Eudora each lifted a bomb barrel and, under the guidance of Di Lu, gradually moved away from the sandstone cave.
When they traveled far enough, the two came to the shadow under the mountain rock and looked through the explosive barrel user manual.
Li Fan had done some research before, so he specifically selected the parts he had never seen before.
The explosion caused by the bomb barrel has the same characteristics as in the game of ignoring carapace and flesh.
However, it is inconvenient to carry and extremely dangerous.
Except for joint hunting missions where there is sufficient time to plan and deploy, teams generally carry very little.
In terms of structure, the explosive barrel also has a design similar to a safety valve. After the layout is completed, the safety bolt on the top needs to be pulled out to enter the ready-to-explode state.
Once it encounters an impact at this time, the explosive barrel will cause an explosion.
Of course, even if the safety bolt is not pulled out, the bomb barrel may still explode, but only if the barrel body suffers an unusually strong impact.
Li Fan generally knew these introductions, but what surprised him was that in the last few pages of the manual, there was an introduction to the guild's full-time explosive users, the bombers.
Bomberman is a member of the guild, but can be rented to hunting teams for a fee and is responsible for the transportation and arrangement of bomb barrels.
The employment fee is fixed, and no remuneration or materials will be collected.???
Of course, not every branch is equipped. For details, you can consult the local front desk.
Li Fan felt that this idea was a good one, as it could generate income for the guild and satisfy teams in need.
The most important thing is that these are professionals trained by the guild. They transport and deploy explosives, which can effectively reduce the risks caused by improper operation.
Huh~huh~
When the wind pressure comes, the gravel on the surface of the dune is blown away.
After the little fool landed, the team loaded up the bomb barrels.
Flying like this is very risky, but Li Fan thinks it's worth the risk.
The first is to throw large explosive barrels from high altitude to try the possibility of bombing attack.
If it is really feasible, when encountering the Explosive Scale Dragon in the future, Li Fan must give it a shot.
Secondly, hunting and capturing Diemsaurus would be much easier if you have a large explosive barrel.
As for using a sand boat to carry it on the ground, it seems safer, but Huang Velociraptor and Salon lurking in the sand are widely seen in the sand plains.
The threats it can bring are also not small, and the frequency is extremely frequent.
After flying for half a day, the team arrived at the target area.
Since the map's markings on drinking and hunting spots were so detailed that the little fool was in good condition at this time.
But the team was a little uncomfortable under the hot wind.
Even if I hide in the shadow of high mountains and rocks, the heat is still not relieved.
"Uudora, did you put too much ice crystals in the cold drink you mixed?"
Li Fan, who was sitting on the sandstone, took a sip of cold drink and felt that there were too many ice crystals.
"The standard ratio cannot be applied to all situations. In extreme weather like this, the dosage should be increased."
Eudora explained.
The sun slowly set, and when the sky turned gray and the temperature dropped, the team took the opportunity to start setting up camp.
Although the low temperature at night in the desert is not as strong as the high temperature during the day, it is still more comfortable to stay in a warm tent.
When the stars appear in the night sky, the camp located in the mountain cave is completed.
Since there were so many monsters to observe this time, Li Fan arranged a division of labor and cooperation.
"Tomorrow, the little idiot will send everyone to three highland observation points. The camouflage net and other materials have been prepared in advance. If there is danger, we can send out signals. There will be no problem."
"no problem."
"No problem, meow!"
"Di Lu, this is your first time acting alone, not to mention the natural environment is so harsh. Don't show off if you can't hold on."
Li Fan instructed.
"Don't worry, meow!"
Dilu said with great confidence.
In terms of keeping vigil, the platform outside the cave entrance was large enough, so Li Fan simply let the little fool sleep at the entrance of the cave.
In the early morning of the next day, in order to prolong the effect of the cat meal, all members of the team chewed a bitter insect, and then headed to different highlands to search for and observe the target monsters.
The time comes to noon.
Crawling under the camouflage net of withered yellow leaves, looking at the blurry and twisted sand dunes in the distance, Li Fan felt like he was in a furnace.
Fortunately, my persistence was not in vain, as a Diemsaurus moving nearby has been sighted and locked, but there is a King of Salon nearby which is a bit of an eyesore.
But when the plan is implemented, it shouldn't be a big problem if the little fool drives away the other monsters in the area first.
In the afternoon, a half-meter-high yellow dorsal fin appeared on the surface of the dune.
The dorsal fin slid in an arc for a distance and came to an area where sand piles gathered.
Huh~huh~
The surrounding gravel rolled up and gathered towards the dorsal fin.
As more and more gravel adheres to the surface, the shape of the dorsal fin gradually becomes almost the same as the surrounding sand piles.
However, this disguise of blending into the environment did not last long, and was terminated by a burst of wind pressure falling from the sky.
After the gravel was blown away and the erect dorsal gills were completely exposed, the body of Dimenstomosaurus began to float up from the sand.
The rhombus-shaped carapace on both sides of the back is exposed first, followed by a semicircular head shell that is similar to sand color, and a pair of short forelimbs.
Li Fan, who was riding on the back of the little fool, took a look and saw that the length of the exposed half of his body was about 10 meters, and the overall length was probably not nearly 20 meters.
There are two small yellow round eyes on the skull, very close to each other, blinking.
It seemed that she was a little curious about the female fire dragon hovering above her body.
Whoosh! A dye ball was thrown on the head shell, and pink smoke and dust floated immediately.
Woo~~
The Qianshansaurus seemed to be dissatisfied and chirped, and its body quickly dived into the sand.
“See you later!”
After Li Fan finished speaking, the little fool quickly raised his height.
At night at the camp, the team gathered in the tent the information they had seen today.
Li Fan said that he discovered Qianguisaurus at observation point No. 1 and successfully marked it with a dyed ball.
Di Lu said that he witnessed the existence of Ceratops at observation point No. 3. Although he did not have the opportunity to throw dye balls, he still identified the general activity area of Ceratops through observation.
Eudora said depressingly that he had watched the desert scenery at Observation Point 2 for a whole day and didn't even see a saloon.
"There's not even a salon. That's unusual, isn't it? Are there any caves or mineral veins near you?"
Li Fan noticed something unusual.
In the records of his and Dilu's observations, in addition to the primary target, the distribution of other monsters was also recorded.
In a situation like Eudora's, either hunting teams frequently visit, or there are murderous high-ecological monsters operating nearby.
"You mean! There are no large mineral veins exposed on the surface, but there is indeed a large cave entrance on the surface of a mountain rock."
Eudora recalled.
"Then we will carry out the capture plan tomorrow. If everything goes well, we will go explore the cave before dark."
Li Fan gave the deployment.
The next day, it was dark.
The little fool went out on his own, spitting fireballs and roaring loudly to drive away the monsters in the area where the Dialthosaurus was.
The ecological niche of Qianshansaurus on the sand plain does not belong to the top ranks.
But its positioning is similar to that of a night bird. As long as it doesn't seek death, it rarely encounters natural enemies.
Coupled with the fact that the surrounding area was its own territory, the Qianshuilong completely turned a deaf ear to the threat from the little fool.
Huh~huh~
Landing on the platform where the camp was located again, Li Fan fed a piece of beast meat and then started loading a large explosive barrel.
Dang! Dang!
On the sandy plain under the scorching sun, two ankylosaurs were constantly colliding with each other, completely unaware that a piece of erect dorsal gills was being attracted by the collision.
At the moment of impact, a huge mouth suddenly emerged from the sand.
Facing the huge mouth with neat and sharp teeth, the first Ankylosaurus quickly ran away, while the other one was bitten and torn before being dragged into the sand.
A gust of hot wind blew by, and the depressions on the sand were quickly smoothed, and the yellow dorsal fins appeared on the sand dunes again, as if countless things had happened.
"This mouth is so big."
Eudora, who witnessed the entire hunting process in mid-air, exclaimed.
"The eyesight of Qianshansaurus is not very good, and the eyes are on the forehead, so it basically relies on sound to detect the ground conditions. Therefore, our footsteps and the sound of armor shaking are all sources of information for Qianshansaurus to detect movements."
Li Fan reminded.
"Is that why it always eats big bomb barrels alive?"
Eudora asked curiously.
"Maybe it has something to do with the hunting habits it has developed. It seems that it relies too much on the sounds on the ground to make judgments."
Li Fan speculated.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the swimming dorsal gills finally stopped.
Li Fan stood up from his seat and dismantled the rope holding the large explosive barrel on one side.
"This attack method is so strange."
Eudora didn't quite understand.
"It's a bit strange, but at least it's a new attempt."
Li Fan said as he lifted up the large barrel of explosive bombs.
"You little idiot, turn on bombing mode."
When the little fool heard this, he tilted his body slightly and slowly flapped his wings to keep hovering.
"Dilu, confirm the target!"
"Okay meow!"
Di Lu lay down at the base of the wings and looked straight down with a monocular telescope.
"The target directly below the position has no tendency to move and there is no interference source. You can release Meow!"
Dilu observed for a moment and gave the exact information.
"Safety Officer Eudora, please release the safety bolt!"
Li Fan gave instructions again.
"Why do I have a share?"
Eudora helplessly covered her forehead, stood up slowly, stepped on the seat, and saw a handle-shaped pull ring on the bucket lid, and confirmed: "Pull it open now, right?"
"Yes, Security Officer Eudora."
Li Fan, who was holding the big explosive barrel, was constantly adjusting his breathing rhythm, trying to keep his hands steady enough when throwing it from below.
Oops! The safety bolt was pulled out, and a slight crackling sound came from inside the big explosive barrel.
"Yeah, I pulled it out."
Looking at the safety bolt in her hand, Eudora was a little at a loss.
Whoosh! Li Fan calmly released his hands.
The large explosive barrel falls vertically and becomes smaller and smaller in the field of vision.
boom!
A burst of bursting fire appeared on the sand dune.
Ouch!!!
The Qiankou Dragon roared loudly, echoing on the sandy plain.
"The power is a bit weak. It just blew up the dorsal fin a little black."
After Li Fan watched, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
He also knew that Qianshuosaurus would only expose a large area of its body to the surface when it was fighting, but there was no way to keep it still.
After all, this attack is tentative, so it is still barely acceptable.
"It looks like it's angry, meow."
"It will get even angrier when it can't find the person to attack."
Li Fan affirmed.
The dorsal fin started running in a hurry on the sandy plain, seeming to want to find the target of the evil attack on itself through continuous exploration.
However, the team has not even set foot in the sand now, and Qiankoulong will not achieve any results except wasting its energy in vain.
After such a meaningless detour for half an hour, Li Fan felt that the time was almost up and chose to land far away from Qiankoulong.
Another large bomb barrel was placed on the sand, and Li Fan finally confirmed the deployment.
"As soon as the sonic bomb went off, I went to hang the fishhook. After finishing, we pulled the fishing rod hard. Although according to the ecological report, it takes at least four hunters with sufficient strength to fish out the Diegalosaurus, but we have
It’s not a big problem for the little fool to help.”
"clear!"
"I got it, meow!"
Whoosh! The sonic bomb was thrown into the air, exploding into a circular sound wave.
Li Fan, holding the iron worm silk fishing line, stared closely at the explosive barrel standing on the surface of the sand.
Huh~huh~huh~
The swiftly running dorsal fin comes upon hearing the sound, from far to near.
Boom! The sand suddenly sank, and the big explosive barrel fell into the mouth of the jumping dragon.
When the body jumped to the highest point in the air, the huge mouth opened to the extreme and suddenly closed.
Woo~boom~
There was a muffled sound in the big mouth of Qiansuchosaurus, and the entire head shell bulged.
After quickly opening his mouth, a burst of black smoke spurted out.
Boom! The Qianchisaurus, which went straight up and down, fell into the sand, its head collapsed to the ground, and thick smoke filled its huge open mouth.
"action!"
Li Fan quickly ran to the giant mouth.
Find the uvula-like spherical organ in the upper jaw of the mouth, pierce it with a claw-shaped fishhook and insert it into it. In order to stabilize it, use the iron worm silk fishing line to make an undercut, and tie it violently around the fishhook.
The sharp teeth in the upper and lower rows began to tremble slightly, and Li Fan immediately turned around and retreated.
Eudora and Dilu held the fishing rods at an angle and began to pull hard toward the rear.
Li Fan, who ran over, held the front part and dragged along with him.
Qiansuchosaurus, which gradually regained consciousness, felt the pain in its mouth, quickly dived into the sand, and tried to free itself by swinging its body.
The iron worm silk fishing line sank into the sand and began to move along with its trajectory.
Bah!
The figure of the two people and the cat gradually slid forward, with a faint tendency to be dragged away.
"Di Lu! Come to the front! Where are you, you little idiot, you dare not speak!"
Li Fan, who was being dragged along, looked back and suddenly realized what the problem was.
"Sorry meow!"
Dilu, who closed her eyes and exerted herself, quickly got out of the way and ran to the front of the fishing rod.
Seeing that there was a place for him to take his mouth, the little fool came to the side of the fishing rod and grabbed the end in one mouthful.
Bang! Bang!
Two powerful claws stepped deeply into the sand and moved sideways.
The situation was reversed, the towing stopped, and the team took the initiative.
After a stalemate for about two minutes, the struggle of Qianshuilong became weaker and weaker. Even though it was under the sand, it could only be dragged by the team.
"Three! Two! One!"
According to Li Fan's command, everyone raised the fishing rod vigorously.
Qianshansaurus was completely dragged out of the sand and flew into the air again, but this time it was completely out of control. It finally fell to the ground with its back, and its short limbs kicked violently.
"Go to the other side and attack! Leave it to the little idiot here!"
As Li Fan said this, he pulled out the shield crab sword on his back, walked around the back of Qiankoulong, and slashed at Eudora.
On the other side, after the fireballs were sprayed three times in a row, the little idiot briefly gathered momentum and collided with the dragon chariot, directly sending the submerged dragon flying out.
During the roll, the final low orientation of the Qianshansaurus changed.
"Well, this time we're going to fight head-on."
Li Fan also didn't expect that there would be opportunities to attack the Qianshansaurus that had been hiding in the sand today from both the front and the back.
The little fool on the other side twisted his neck sideways, trying to bite the opponent's throat and end the hunt.
However, when I started to bite, I realized that the head shell of the Qiankou dragon was directly connected to the carapace, and there was no neck at all.
It is true that female fire dragons can adapt to the harsh environment of the sand plain, but due to their completely different habits, they rarely interact with monsters such as Diegostomosaurus.
Subconsciously, you may not even have basic cognition.
Of course, even if he couldn't carry out targeted attacks because he didn't understand, the little fool was still not idle.
He flew onto the Qiankou Dragon and stepped down hard with his claws.
Li Fan, who felt that victory was imminent, suddenly realized that the sand under his feet was slowly sinking.
The rhombus-shaped carapace on both sides of the carapace of Diegostomosaurus has now been fully opened, and the huge mouth could not be closed due to the explosion before.
At this time, the gravel is being swallowed vigorously and transported into the body.
"withdraw!"
Li Fan put away his knife, turned his back and started to escape.
The surrounding sand was sinking at an ever-increasing speed, and a loud bang was heard.
Countless strong air currents carrying sand and dust were sprayed outward from the rhombus-shaped carapace spread out on the back.
In the turbulent wind and sand, Qianshuilong once again opened its huge mouth to the extreme, and an extremely powerful jet of wind and sand spurted out from its mouth.
As the little fool flew away, jets of wind and sand followed closely behind, rising continuously.
Fortunately, just when it touched the left wing and affected its flight posture, the breath stored in Qianmenglong had already been exhausted.
Phew~
The body of Diemstomosaurus dived into the sand again, and its exposed dorsal fin had completely fallen to one side due to damage.
It was a bit sluggish and not moving smoothly under the sand, indicating that it was at the end of its efforts.
"Stop running and join us."
Li Fan, who was riding a little fool and launched a super-low-altitude pursuit, persuaded.
Phew~
A puff of sand spread out, and Qiankou Long seemed to express that he would never give in.
Seeing this, Li Fan could only try to return the ball first, but it turned out that it was probably because of the obstruction of the sand layer that he could not get it into the goal at all.
"Please don't hold on, okay? It's pointless. I just want to find monsters who can only protect themselves on the sandy plain, so that I can at least have someone to take care of me when I come back in the future. If someone bullies you, I can still come and help you avenge you."
, uh, it’s almost like beating you today.”
"Speaking of which, do you really understand what you are talking about?"
Eudora was speechless.
"At least I tried my best to communicate. I have already thought about what name I want to call it. I can't really beat it to death."
"This direction seems to lead to Observation Point No. 2, nya."
Di Lu looked at the map and frowned slightly.
"Observation point No. 2? Isn't that an area that has not yet been explored and is suspected to be inhabited by high-niche monsters?"
Eudora suddenly became alert.
"There's something wrong, isn't it?"
Li Fan had an ominous premonition.
As far as escape ability is concerned, Qiankoulong is already at the end of its game.
But if there was a way to get it out of the sand, the team would have used it long ago.
It was consciously rushing towards the vicinity of Observation Point No. 2, most likely to create a chance for the team to encounter the monster so that it could escape.
"The horned dragon's ability to burrow into the ground is so strong. It's definitely not the case. The sharp claws of the boom dragon can scratch rocks at will. It probably isn't the case either. Then the only choice is to kill the dragon!"
Li Fan was particularly surprised by this conclusion.
