"If you want to slay the dragon, now is not the time to fight."
Eudora said worriedly.
The team will indeed try to hunt the dragon this time, but they will never do it without preparation.
"Wait a minute, since we know where Qiankoulong is going, wouldn't it be nice to go there and make arrangements in advance?"
Li Fan changed his thinking.
"Oh! That's right!"
Eudora was stunned.
For an ordinary hunter team, even if the monster is seriously injured and on the verge of death, it is not easy to pursue it.
It is already difficult to follow closely without letting the monster disappear from sight.
Not to mention traveling faster than monsters and deploying in advance.
That's why many hunters in Kara Village were opposed to hunting big strange birds.
But they are different. The addition of the little fool has brought about fundamental changes in the way of hunting and tracking.
Not only can it follow closely from a high altitude, but as long as the terrain permits, it is also possible to overtake and make advance arrangements.
Huh~huh~
The little fool climbed up and flew gently for a while. After reaching the sky above observation point 2, he dived rapidly downwards.
As they approached the ground, before they could stop, the team members jumped onto the sand one after another to buy time.
"Sure enough, there are no other monsters."
Li Fan took a look at the situation on the nearby sandy plain, turned around and looked at the dark cave entrance in the rock behind him, and then began to plan his deployment.
"If Zhanlong really lives in a cave, Qiankou Dragon cannot dig through the sandstone below and attract the opponent's attention from the ground. As for emerging from under the sand and crawling into the cave entrance, it is even more impossible. That means Qiankou
The dragon must have some way of attracting Dragon Slayer's attention outside the cave."
Li Fan's mind flashed to the scene of Qiankou Long using the wind and sand jet.
"It will release wind and sand jets in the cave, thus attracting the attention of Zhanlong. This is an excellent opportunity to capture."
Releasing the sand blast not only absorbs the surrounding gravel, but also the giant mouth of the submerged dragon and the upper body of the dragon emerge from the sand surface.
Li Fan felt that this opportunity could be used.
"What if we hide and watch?"
Eudora expressed her opinion.
"This is indeed safer, but there will be two situations. One is that the Qiankou dragon keeps attracting and provoking the dragon-killing dragon under the sand, acting as its bodyguard and interfering with the hunting. Our situation is okay at the moment, but it will be difficult to say if it continues to be consumed.
, the other situation is that Qiankoulong gets out of control and is really attacked by Zhanlong, then the hope of capture will be shattered."
"Looking at it this way, allowing Qiankou Long to act will indeed be detrimental to the team."
After listening to the explanation, Eudora also agreed with Li Fan's judgment.
He took off the two Poké Balls from his shoulder strap and opened them. A white light flashed, and Shasha and Yeye appeared on the surface of the sand.
Bang! Bang!
After stepping on the familiar sand twice, Shasha raised his head and jumped happily.
Ye Ye lowered her head sharply, raised one wing to cover the scorching sun, turned her head frequently to look around, and her red round eyes were widened to the extreme.
A state of panic: Who am I? Where is this?
Gugu~gugu? Gugu!
After a quick cry, Yeye lowered his head and picked up the opened elf ball with his beak.
After jumping twice on the hot sand, he came to Li Fan and seemed to be gesturing to put it into the ball for me.
"Calm down Ye Ye, I know it's daytime and very hot, and there are no woods. Let me ask a question. If you encounter Dragon Slayer in this environment, are you confident that you can temporarily contain the opponent? It will only take a short time.
"
After Li Fan comforted him, he asked seriously.
Cuckoo!
"Then it'll be up to you later. Remember that when you show up again, it will be the time to face the Dragon Slayer head-on."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he put Ye Ye into the ball.
Since the Qiankou Dragon can attract the Dragon Slayer, it can act as a bodyguard against the hunter team.
Having spent so much time with Zhan Long every night in the ancient forest, theoretically there would be ways to contain and escape after the encounter.
The only thing that affected the performance might be the extremely unfriendly environment for Shayuan and Yeye.
"Shasha, you Shasha?"
Li Fan was about to make arrangements when he looked up and realized that Shasha was missing.
Phew~puff~
A rustling crest carapace emerged from the sand.
"Well, it's a very good mimicry camouflage. Even I was fooled into thinking that the dragon sand in Qiankou is traveling very fast. It's very difficult for you to dig in and catch up. It's better to dig a hole in the area in front of the cave entrance and wait for the wind and sand to gather momentum.
Then launch an attack. Qiankou Dragon is very sensitive to sound vibrations. Try to control the sound when lurking. If you encounter Dragon Killer, dig in the ground. The opponent will not be able to do anything to you."
After listening to Li Fan's deployment, Shasha digested it for a while, and then his crown sank into the sand, followed by a rumble that gradually faded away.
Li Fan took two deep breaths of the stuffy air through his nose. Feeling that the smell of dyed fruit was approaching, he rode the little fool and took off again.
The injured and bent dorsal fin soon appeared on the sandy plain.
When approaching the entrance of the mountain cave, the speed slowed down significantly, and it seemed that there was some fear of using Zhanlong and Qiankoulong.
But after two circuitous circles on the sand, it still chose to rush towards the entrance of the cave.
When it got close to about thirty meters away, it paused briefly and the surrounding sand began to subside.
At this time, the sand in front suddenly spread out, and the lurking Shasha appeared, pressing his crest and carapace against the sand, kicking his legs and rushing forward.
The Qianshansaurus did not avoid it, but instead accelerated the speed of sucking up the gravel.
Phew! The huge mouth that had completed its momentum suddenly opened, and a jet of wind and sand spurted out.
Shasha hit head-on into the flying sand airflow, and his steps were slightly slow. He was pushed backwards for a short distance, and his thick lower limbs stepped deeply into the sand.
Gradually speed up step by step and keep moving forward.
As for the rest of the flying sand airflow, they all poured into the abyss-like dark rock cave, causing a gust of wind to echo.
After Qianshuilong released its sand jet, he thought he had cleared the obstacles ahead, but after he noticed the rapid sound of footsteps on the ground, he realized that something was wrong.
When! The head shell and crown collided together, and several broken fangs in the huge mouth were scattered on the sand.
At this time, the little fool swooped down from high altitude and was about to approach from behind. Li Fan held the elf ball in his hand tightly, preparing to throw it to catch it.
However, the diamond-shaped carapace on the back of Dimenstomosaurus unfolded again.
Boom! Countless streams of flying sand are sent out from the pores in the shell.
The little idiot was forced back, and the high-level Poké Ball he threw was directly deflected by the airflow.
"So tenacious meow!"
Dilu, who failed to make up the dyed ball, couldn't help but sigh.
Dienostosaurus took the opportunity to quickly dive into the sand, and Shasha also dug a hole in place and pursued it from the sand layer.
However, due to the difference in speed, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.
Bang! Bang!
A heavy stamping sound came from the cave. Li Fan, who was on the dragon's back, turned to look around. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a giant orange blade.
The Qiankou Dragon seemed to have sensed something. Not only did it not avoid it, but it rushed towards the entrance of the cave. When Li Fan saw the slow-moving Shasha following suit, he quickly shouted: "Don't follow Shasha! It's luring you over!!!"
"
Hearing the cry, Shasha in the sand immediately stopped pursuing it.
"Dig right where you are! As deep as possible!"
After Li Fan gave the instruction again, Qiankou Long saw that the hunter team did not dare to pursue rashly, so he immediately slowed down.
"There is no chance of capture. Even if we release Ye Ye to hold Zhan Long back, it won't make much sense."
Li Fan felt that Qiankou Dragon would definitely be deeply bound to Zhanlong now.
"It's Fishing Rod Meow!"
Dilu exclaimed.
"Now is not the time to think about drying fish."
"It's not a dried fish, it's a fishing rod!"
Dilu gave another reminder.
"Fishing rod? Could it be that"
After Li Fan finished speaking, he and Eudora leaned down and looked down, and found that behind the Qiankou Dragon, the fishing rod made of strong keel was being dragged along the sand surface by the iron worm wire.
"Is it possible that Shasha's collision just now knocked the fishing rod out?"
Just when Li Fan felt that there might be a turning point, a huge figure poked its head out of the cave.
The blue carapace with flame-like protrusions wraps the entire head like an extremely fitting armor.
Only the fierce eyes and the big mouth full of sharp teeth are left, giving people a harsh feeling.
The red carapace that fits the back glows with a dark red shimmer as heat rises, as if lava is flowing inside.
Bang! Bang!
As it progressed, petite front paws and heavy three-toed paws were revealed one after another, and a giant blue tail blade that took up nearly half of the total length was gradually exposed to the blazing sun.
Hiss! Hiss!
The tip of the tail blade is calcined to an orange-yellow color and dragged on the sand, leaving a burnt brown ditch.
Li Fan swallowed, thought for a moment, and released Ye Ye.
In order to avoid the sun, Yeye quickly flew under the little fool.
"Yeye, are you sure you can hold off Zhan Long?"
After observing from a closer position and slaying the dragon, Li Fan hesitated.
Cuckoo!
"Okay, safety first."
After Li Fan finished speaking, Ye Ye flapped his wings sideways and flew towards Zhan Long.
"You little fool, fly at a very low altitude, follow me."
After hearing Li Fan's words, Eudora Dilu knew what to do even without communicating, and they untied the ropes that fixed their bodies.
Qiansuchosaurus was gliding leisurely in the sand, but when it felt the approaching wind pressure, it immediately sped up.
The little fool's height dropped again and again, and when his paws were scratched from time to time on the sand, he finally got close to the fishing rod that was constantly swinging on the sand.
Eudora held Li Fan's ankle tightly on the dragon's back, so that he could lie on the edge of the wings and reach out to grab it, but he was always a short distance away.
"I'm coming, meow!"
Di Lu said, stepping on Li Fan's wrist armor and crawling forward.
Li Fan no longer tried, but grabbed Dilu's small belt and lifted it forward as much as possible.
Tsk~tsk~
The cat's claws were waving frequently and finally caught the fishing rod.
Eudora looked sideways and saw that the team was approaching Dragon Slayer, and quickly gave a reminder: "Slay Dragon!"
"knew!"
Li Fan quickly sat back on his seat and extended the fishing rod backward. After Eudora had a firm grip, he shouted: "One! Two! Three! Take off!!!"
The little fool's wings flapped violently, and the huge wind pressure caused his body to stagnate briefly. Then he flapped rapidly and frequently, and began to climb as high as possible.
The iron worm threads in the sand swung into the air, quickly tightened, and turned into a straight diagonal line.
"Uh-huh!"
"Hi!"
"Meow!"
The team leaned back together with all their strength and pulled the fishing rod.
The body of Qianshansaurus gradually floated up, and after more than ten seconds.
However, this is not over yet. As the little fool continues to rise into the air, Qianguisaurus is gradually being taken away from the sand.
Watching the ring-shaped hypnotic sound waves coming towards Zhanlong, his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Just when I opened my mouth to breathe.
Pah! A Diphthosaurus got stuck on the face.
This sleepy and unprepared impact almost caused Zhanlong to lose his balance if the rock behind him hadn't provided support.
Seeing this, Ye Ye shrank her neck in fright. When she saw Zhan Long looking at him, she flapped her wings and flew away quickly.
However, this still failed to calm Zhan Long's anger, and a loud roar resounded throughout the sandy plain.
Li Fan bound the iron worm wire to the hook carrying supplies, then grabbed the iron worm wire and rapped downwards, muttering: "Joining in this kind of thing requires a two-way rush. If you continue to resist, then I will
I can only send you down to play with Zhan Long, and then you can only pray that you don’t land on your back.”
After Li Fan finished speaking, he opened the elf ball and faced the submersible dragon that was caught vertically in mid-air.
He is not threatening, but once he collects the elf ball and gets rid of the shackles of the fishhook, if the submersible dragon fails to capture it and its body is restored at high altitude, it will inevitably fall into the sand below.
Whoosh! The Qiankou Dragon turned into white light and entered the opened high-level ball.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
The sphere trembled slightly for three times, and the capture was achieved!
The team just breathed a sigh of relief when the little fool's flying attitude became erratic.
Eudora quickly pulled up the iron worm wire and brought Li Fan back to the dragon's back.
"The little fool must have been too physically exhausted today and needs to find a high platform to make an emergency landing. Everyone should use ropes to secure themselves."
Li Fan informed.
Not long after, the little fool glided and landed on a rock platform. After gliding close to the ground for more than ten meters, he stopped and simply lay on his side on the ground.
Ye Ye landed shortly after and hid in the shadows. After Li Fan praised it, he put it into the elf ball.
Although resting outside the ball can more effectively relieve fatigue, Li Fan really can't let go of leaving the little fool here alone.
As for why the team cannot stay here, it is mainly due to food pressure.
The little idiot is currently unable to hunt on his own, so it won't be a big problem if he puts in a satiety ball to hold him up for a period of time.
But if you want to continue to participate in hunting, you must ensure a food supply.
But food doesn't fall from the sky
It was indeed extremely uncomfortable to drag our tired bodies out to hunt in the sun, but the team had no choice.
In the evening, the temperature finally dropped a bit.
Shasha, who carried a pile of animal meat on his body, followed the team to the bottom of the camp.
After crawling back to the camp and feeding the little fool placed at the entrance of the cave, the two of them and the cat ate something simple, then entered the tent and began to lie down.
Only Li Fanqiang cheered up and saw the attributes of Big Mouth.
【Diegrosaurus】male (big mouth)
HP:309/4690
Status: Seriously injured and endangered, exhausted.
Level:46
Strength:180
Agility: 241
Intelligence:201
Skill: [Sand Speed] Qianshuilong can sneak into the sand and travel quickly.
[Vibration Sense and Hearing] Even if it is lurking underground, Qianshansaurus can still keenly sense surrounding sound waves.
[Sand Blast] Absorbs gravel to build up momentum for a short period of time, and sprays strong airflow with gravel to the surrounding area.
[Laojianghu on the sandy plain] Since there has been no natural enemy for a long time, this Qianshansaurus has made various attempts in the sandy plain area, and there are many tricks.
Introduction: A sea dragon monster, nicknamed the Sand Plain Glutton.
It eats a lot and is particularly sensitive to vibration and sound sources.
Since he hides in the sand all day long, he is an expert in ambush and hunting.
"Is this Laojianghu a unique feature of the region?"
Li Fan was a little surprised when he saw the characteristics of the regional type for the first time.
The next day, all members of the team slept until about 10 o'clock before getting up.
Li Fan grilled the meat, Eudora stewed the soup, and Di Lu was responsible for the seasoning.
After the team had a good meal before noon, they finally felt like they had regained some form.
"In the afternoon, I will take Puff to hunt for food in the underground cave and get used to the environment. You can go observe the movements of the ceratopsian. We will meet at the camp in the evening."
After Li Fan gave the division of labor, the team divided into two waves to start the operation.
The location and existence of Dragon Slayer have been confirmed, and the next thing to do is to try to hunt.
However, Li Fan didn't want to rush into action before the team's condition was completely restored.
We arrived at an abandoned camp marked on the map and found the dry well recorded in the map.
Li Fan took out a waistcoat made of cloud sheep and deer hair and put it on the outside of the breastplate. Then he grabbed the rope and began to explore downwards.
It's about 20 meters deep, and every time you move further down, the temperature will drop a little.
When he reached 50 meters, the vertical shaft suddenly opened up, and Li Fan came to a cave with a cyan light.
After jumping to the ground, Li Fan felt that except that it was colder, it was not much different from the cave near Kara Village, so he released the puff.
Puff, whose body was trembling slightly, jumped into the flashing blue underground river after adapting to the surface of the cave for a while.
Wow! Wow!
The water splashes.
The puff slides back and forth very smoothly.
"You need to drink enough water to keep your body moist. The fighting time is still uncertain, and you need to eat more food. The fighting environment this time is extremely unfavorable for you, but I guarantee that the opponent will definitely not be in a good state when meeting you.
There will be advantages.”
Li Fan gave instructions.
Woo?
"Well, it's very strong, at least on the same level as the Thunder Wolf Dragon."
Woo?
"This is the Thunder Wolf Dragon! Ouch! Ouch!"
Li Fan said, stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and slapped it towards the ground.
Ouch!
Puff roared fiercely.
"Yes, just like the Thunder Wolf Dragon, if you can give it a heavy blow in battle, then at least you also have the fighting strength of the Thunder Wolf Dragon."
Li Fan explained.
Puff then became serious, sliding quickly in the water to make the body surface as moist as possible to the limit.
Two hours later, Li Fan crawled out of the dry well with three big blue fish on his back.
At night, the team reunited at the camp.
Eudora, who was sitting by the fire, talked about the information he had observed today.
"Dilu and I named this male ceratopsian Xiaoshuai. There are no signs of broken horns. The wing membranes are slightly damaged, but not enough to cause structural damage. The lower limbs are stable and powerful. The tail is relatively unfamiliar. It is speculated that it is a
A young ceratopsian with little combat experience.”
"Well, you've been so meticulous in your observations. How come you guys named them too?"
Li Fan asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"It was Eudora's suggestion, nya. She said that as she continued to observe, she seemed to have noticed the charming side of the monster."
Dilu informed.
"It's not the charming side of monsters, it's the charming side of nature, which is reflected in monsters, thus exhibiting a sense of beauty."
Eudora said helplessly.
"Sorry, I got it wrong."
"What is the actual flying capability?"
Li Fan asked while flipping through ecological books about ceratopsians.
"I'm not very impressed. I feel like the wings are just like decorations."
Eudora recalled.
Li Fan touched his chin, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
The reason is that the flying ability of Ceratops is really difficult to define.
Fortunately, its zero air combat capability has been verified by many parties.
"Well, what we have to do next is to try to guide Xiaoshuai from observation point 3 to observation point 2 where Zhanlong is."
Li Fan said and drew a route on the map.
"Why not guide Zhan Long to Xiao Shuai?"
Eudora asked curiously.
"Zhanlong likes mineral veins. In addition to courting mates, Ceratopsians also like to eat cacti, mineral veins, female Ceratopsians, and cacti. We can also take care of the cactus."
"Uh! Then wouldn't the plant markings made by these investigators on the map come in handy?"
Eudora was stunned.
"Yes, although they have basically zero knowledge of the monster's movements, the investigators of the Sandstone Cave Branch have really done their best in terms of food intake, water sources, hidden and safe spaces, etc."
Li Fan said in admiration.
I feel that the general idea of the other party is that in such a dangerous place as Shayuan, the most important thing is to put aside what you are hunting first and save your life.
"Then tomorrow's task is to collect cacti, nya?"
Dilu asked.
"That's right! If you find a humanoid cactus or one with red gloves, don't get close. Send a flare immediately and I will get there as quickly as possible."
Li Fan reminded.
Eudora and Dilu looked at each other.
"Is there something wrong with the mushrooms we picked along the way?"
Eudora asked tentatively.
"I believe Li Fan, meow."
Dilu was not very firm in his determination.
"Humanoid cactus, with a red fist, okay, I'll pay attention to it tomorrow."
Although she couldn't understand it, Eudora still gave her assurance.
