Early the next morning, because the little fool needed to rest for a day to regain his best condition, he stayed in the camp.
The team on foot rushed to the vicinity of observation point 3 and divided into two groups to start the operation.
Eudora went to a higher mountainous area to collect cacti and at the same time observe the movements of the ceratopsian.
Li Fan and Di Lu towed Shasha, which had a super high load capacity, and collected it together on the desert plain.
Damn!
The shovel was inserted into the sand and a cactus was scooped up.
Li Fan turned around, raised the shovel, and the cactus fell into the large grass frame hanging on the back.
"Phew~ It's so hot."
Li Fan took out a cold drink and took a swig, pushed down the sun hat on his head, and when he started digging a hole with the shovel, a purple flare exploded in the sky.
This is the signal agreed by the team. As long as Eudora observes the horned dragon Xiaoshuai approaching the team members, he will release the signal flare.
"Go to the safe haven on the map!"
Li Fan and Di Lu ran quickly and ran to the entrance of a sandstone cave that was only half a person's height.
Di Lu got in first, and after Li Fan put Shasha into the elf ball, he also climbed in with the big grass frame.
Phew! Phew!
Not long after, a trembling rumble came from the underground, the sound was like an approaching train.
As the tremors intensified, a spurt of sand and dust swept across the ground.
Boom! The sand suddenly exploded! Countless sandstone blocks flew down and splashed.
Bang! Bang!
Li Fan, who was crawling inside the cave, could only see two huge three-toed palms with extremely rough skin texture, moving on the ground.
Ouch~ow?
After staying in front of the cactus for a moment, the ceratopsian let out a low roar. A pair of huge horns in front of its head dug into the ground. Sand and gravel flew up as its claws dug. Its huge body sank quickly, and it dived underground in the blink of an eye.
The ground shook again, but this time from near to far.
Phew~
Meow~
Li Fandilu let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
When they stood up and turned around, they discovered that a dozen black mermaid cats holding wooden canes were staring at them.
Meow meow!
After a period of chaotic shouting, the other party was not polite and began to study around the two large grass frames.
After confirming that there were only cacti inside, he quickly lost interest and fell into a heap.
Li Fan observed this open-air sandstone cave, looked at the strange red spray paint on the stone pillars, and the almost native state of the Meru cat, and speculated that this should be a camp for wild Meru cats.
The mellow cats here have no contact with humans and cannot speak human language. They are probably only interested in the various supplies carried by humans.
Li Fan climbed out of the cave again and continued collecting.
In the evening, the team gathered and returned to the camp. The cacti collected today filled two large grass frames. Together with the ones in Eudora's backpack, they were piled up like a hill.
“Go to this area tomorrow”
Li Fan said and drew a circle on the map.
"Don't collect all the cacti from another place. I'm afraid that Xiaoshuai will think that there is no cactus nearby and will leave to find a new habitat."
Although the idea of this plan is similar to when the union guided Thunder Wolf Dragon.
But the treasure level of thunder bugs is much higher than that of cacti, which makes Xiaoshuai not stick to one area.
The next day, the same collection continued throughout the day.
In order to find cacti, Xiaoshuai moved more and more frequently on the sandy plain.
Since they had to get up early to assign tasks the next day, the team went to bed before 8 o'clock.
During this period, Eudora said it was too early to sleep, so Li Fan called out Ye Ye and quickly put her to sleep.
Drop! Drop! Drop!
At three o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock on the mobile phone rang.
The team put on equipment, brought supplies, and rode the little fool to the area around observation point 3.
The sandy plain under the moonlight looks like wrinkled silk from a high altitude, giving it a comfortable and quiet beauty.
After arriving at the predetermined point and landing, the team began to place cacti according to the spacing.
Time flies, and soon the sun rises, and the sandy plain is once again swept by the heat.
At observation point No. 3 on the sandstone platform, Eudora was lying on the ground, looking at the cactus arranged in a line on the ground, and asked uncertainly: "Is this really okay?"
"Xiao Shuai hasn't eaten cactus for two days. I don't think it's a big problem."
Li Fan expressed his judgment.
About an hour later, an obvious earthquake was felt on the ground, and Xiaoshuai broke out of the sand.
He lowered his head and examined the cactus for a moment, then opened his mouth and swallowed it. As he was chewing it, he noticed another one fifty meters away.
So he walked slowly over and ate it again.
Seen from a high place, Xiaoshuai is like a chicken pecking at rice, constantly being guided forward.
"The handsome boy is so stupid"
Eudora, who was watching with a telescope, said somewhat depressedly.
"This is the negative effect of having too high an ecological niche."
Li Fan responded.
"I seem to have heard it somewhere?"
"This is a point of view from ecological data. It mainly means that if a monster's ecological niche is at the top for a long time in a fixed area, then the perception of danger will be weakened. On the contrary, monsters in the middle ecological niche will be more sensitive to unknown species.
, I am more vigilant in abnormal situations. Xiaoshuai may not have felt the existential crisis for too long, so he is indifferent to traps."
Li Fan explained.
"Then do you think it's possible that Xiaoshuai knew this was a trap?"
Eudora asked curiously.
"Monsters generally have simple minds. As long as they don't put strong ingredients in their diet, they shouldn't think it's a trap."
Li Fan gave a guess based on experience.
Some monsters may not like humans naturally, but they must establish enough connections before the monsters realize that they have been tricked by humans.
This was deduced by Li Fan when he was feeding monsters.
For example, if the other party cannot see that you are feeding them, then the food is a gift from nature.
The opposite is also true, as long as there is no trace of the hunter team, or there is no similar experience of being tricked.
No matter what happens, it will not be contacted by humans.
Of course, after encountering misfortune, it often happens that you take it out on the hunting team you meet.
While walking and eating, Xiaoshuai left the range of observation point 3 and headed towards observation point 2.
The team rode the little fool to follow. After arriving at the No. 2 observation platform, Dilu noticed something unusual: "Why is Xiaoshuai taking a rest?"
"Maybe I'm tired from eating."
Li Fan estimated that after all, this was completely different from regular eating.
After lying down for more than ten minutes, Xiaoshuai stood up again and began to use the tail hammer shaped like a double-edged ax to smash the cactus into pieces before swallowing it.
"Oh, it turns out that the continuous chewing has made the masseter muscles too tired."
Li Fan suddenly realized.
"You can tell this"
Eudora was quite surprised.
"As long as you have sufficient knowledge reserves, it is not difficult to judge."
Li Fan explained.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In this way, Xiaoshuai slapped his tail all the way to the cave near observation point 2.
Seeing the cacti filling the entrance of the cave, Xiao Shuai raised his head and looked around, seeming to notice something was wrong.
But looking at the cactus placed in the cave, he still couldn't resist the temptation and slowly leaned over.
Even if you don't dig into the ground and just walk normally, you will definitely feel the earthquake according to the size of the ceratopsian, which is nearly 30 meters tall.
So every time Xiaoshuai took a step closer to the entrance of the cave, there would be an echo inside the cave.
Bang! The huge tail hammer hit the entrance of the cave, smashing all the cactus, and a loud noise was heard inside the cave.
"Why don't you come out yet, meow?"
Seeing Xiaoshuai's interest in eating, Di Lu asked anxiously.
"If you make such a loud noise, you will definitely be able to sense it."
Li Fan is very confident.
"Hey, I saw Dragon Slaying."
Eudora informed.
"There's nothing in the cave."
Li Fan quickly adjusted the magnification of the telescope and waited, but the cave was still dark.
"Zhan Long is not in the cave, but on the sandy plain, heading towards the cave."
Eudora, who was looking in a completely different direction, informed.
Li Fandilu quickly moved the telescope over.
"Well, I only focused on checking Xiao Shuai's movements and didn't worry about killing the dragon. However, the situation is not bad. If we meet on the sandy plain, the horned dragon will have an even greater advantage."
Li Fan feels that although the situation has changed, it is still developing in a favorable direction.
Not long after, Zhan Long noticed Xiao Shuai squatting at the entrance of his cave, munching on a cactus.
After being stunned for a moment, he slightly accelerated his speed.
Xiaoshuai noticed the heavy tapping of his feet, twisted his neck and looked back.
The two dragons looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
Ouch
Zhan Long stopped and spoke first.
Ouch?
Xiaoshuai turned around slightly confused.
"Well, you can't understand what they're communicating, right?"
Seeing that Li Fan was looking at him so seriously, Eudora asked tentatively.
"Zhan Long said what do you mean, little brother, Xiao Shuai said I don't mean anything."
"Ah! Can you really understand?"
Eudora said in disbelief.
"The situation is introduced, and this is roughly how it feels."
Li Fan explained.
Ouch! Ouch!
Zhan Long seemed to have lost his patience, and his screams became fierce.
Xiaoshuai didn't show any weakness. He straightened his body first, faced him directly, and responded with two roars.
"Why are you both looking at me?"
Feeling the gaze, Li Fan removed the telescope and found that there were indeed two eager eyes looking at him.
"Translate it, meow, I really want to hear it."
Dilu put her paws together and prayed.
"Well Zhan Long said that the day when the tail blade is forged is when the swordsman returns. Horned Dragon said that the brave Horned Dragon is not afraid of difficulties."
"Oh! They are all so impressive, meow."
Dilu was amazed.
After a while, the ceratopsian lowered its center of gravity and rubbed the ground with its soles.
The lower part of the bulging flame-shaped shell on Zhanlong's back gradually turned red, and a trace of heat gradually rose.
According to common sense, even if you encounter a five-star monster, you may not start a fight without a good reason.
But the personalities of Zhanlong and Horned Dragon are extremely cruel.
No one is willing to give in and compromise, so the only way to decide the outcome is to fight.
Xiaoshuai lowered his head, straightened his head, kicked his legs violently, and the violent impact brought up a cloud of sand and dust.
Zhanlong didn't want to collide head-on, so he moved two steps sideways, and his tail blade, which was bent sideways, quickly swung to the other side of his body, changing into a straightened state.
It seemed that after avoiding the collision, he struck Xiao Shuai with a tail blade slash from behind.
However, the unstoppable collision of the giant angle caused a subtle shift in the angle due to the slight adjustment of the pace of Xiaoshuai's feet.
Ability to adjust angle during sprint!
Li Fan was very surprised.
This seemingly mediocre adjustment ability is an out-and-out magical skill for the horned dragon.
When! The curved giant horn hit Zhanlong's chest directly, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards.
Xiaoshuai didn't stop, and the tail hammer that looked like a double-edged ax swung by bending and extending, swinging into the air, then whirling and slamming down hard.
Bang! After accurately hitting the head and slaying the dragon, several pieces of carapace surrounding the mouth immediately broke and fell off.
Ouch! Ouch!
Zhan Long roared as he fell to the ground, the blood vessels under his skin swelled rapidly and turned red, and flames continued to overflow from his mouth.
Ouch!!!
The young handsome man raised his head and swung it sideways in the air, letting out a terrifying scream, as if declaring that he was the winner.
"The fighting skills are very strong, but the mentality is still too young."
Li Fan analyzed.
Bang! The outer thigh of Zhanlong pressed against the sand suddenly exerted force, and he was able to stand up using only the strength of one leg.
After a moment of gathering momentum in his throat, three balls of orange-yellow liquid explosive minerals were spat out at Xiaoshuai's feet.
These explosive minerals quickly turn black after losing heat, and explode in less than two seconds.
There was only a little bit attached to the sole of Xiaoshuai's foot, but it burned and exploded, causing him uncontrollable pain. He could only step hard into the sand to extinguish the fire.
Damn! Dang!
At this time, there was a teeth-searing sound of biting.
Zhanlong puts the tail blade into his mouth, continuously swallows explosive minerals to heat it, and then burns and grinds it with the carapace that wraps his gills.
The surface is mottled and the metallic sea-blue tail blade quickly turns orange-yellow under high temperatures.
Seeing this, Xiaoshuai didn't care about the injured soles of his feet. He quickly lifted him out of the sand, straightened his body and stretched out the corners of his head.
Zhanlong opened his mouth, his tail blade detached, and he let out a low roar filled with flames.
Seeing the confrontation between the two sides, Eudora, who had been afraid to take a deep breath, took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Is this the vicious side of the five-star monster?"
"In comparison, puffs are much more elegant, aren't they?"
Li Fan asked.
"That's right, but I always feel that Puff will suffer a loss against them."
Eudora said worriedly.
"uncertain."
"Really?"
"Excessive use of power will inevitably lead to excessive consumption. If we want to classify monsters, these two are explosive types, while Puff should be balanced."
Li Fan expressed his speculation.
After rubbing his paws twice on the sand, Xiaoshuai accelerated forward again.
Zhanlong exerted force on his legs and jumped forward. At the same time, his body quickly turned sideways in mid-air, and the tail blade that was ignited with flames swung down, like a sword blade.
Bah!
The tail blade collided with the double horns, and explosive mineral slag was scattered in all directions during the friction.
The two huge figures paused for a moment. The Ceratopsaurus opened its tail blade and continued to charge forward, but a very deep burnt brown dent on the fan-shaped carapace above its head was particularly conspicuous.
After stopping, the monster intuitively told Xiaoshuai that something was coming from behind.
The handsome man had no time to turn his body, and swung his tail hammer vigorously to defend himself from behind. However, as soon as he made a move, he was struck in the back by the hot tail blade from mid-air.
Dang! Xiaoshuai's whole body sank suddenly.
The hot tail blade kept pressing down, making a hissing sound on the khaki carapace.
The cracks gradually deformed, shrank, and began to dissolve!
Withstanding the heavy pressure of the tail blade, Xiaoshuai's body rushed forward fiercely, his horns diagonally plunged into the sand, and at the same time, his wing claws quickly dug downwards.
Zhanlong retracted his tail blade, turned his body sideways and slashed out again.
However, it just collided with the tail hammer which had not yet dived into the sand.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Seeing the bulge on the sand surface, Xiao Shuai seemed to have distanced himself from Zhan Long.
But both the team watching the battle from above and Zhan Long knew clearly that the most dangerous moment was coming.
Bah la la!
Zhanlong looked at the traces on the sand with his eyes, and put the tail blade into his mouth, grinding it hard and biting it.
The tail blade, which had been shattered and cracked when slashing the carapace just now, became rounded and sharp again under the rapid friction.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The area in the mouth that bites and grinds the tail blade begins to move backward. Every time it moves backward, Zhanlong's body twists and tightens a little, like a bow string that is gradually tightening.
"Come on, handsome boy!"
Because Eudora was too immersed in watching, she even started cheering.
"I support Dragon Killer Meow!"
Dilu raised her paw to express her opinion.
"It's good for us if Xiaoshuai wins, but I also hope that Dragon Zhan wins!"
Bang! Li Fan said and high-fived Di Lu.
"Whatever, we can't affect the direction anyway!!!"
Eudora saw a bulge in the sand heading towards Zhan Long, and followed the trajectory with wide eyes.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The surface of the sand shook violently, and gravel flew up and down.
The entire tail blade was covered with orange and moist color. Zhanlong's body had been stretched to the limit, and the bite tail blade appeared in an oval shape.
Boom! Buzz!
The sand exploded, and Xiao Shuai flew out with his horns thrust out diagonally.
Zhanlong let go, and the tail blade ejected and stretched its body, spinning forward and sliding out.
Dang! A corner on Xiaoshuai's head was cut off, broke and fell.
The center of the dragon-slaying tail blade was also pierced by another sharp horn.
