Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1140 You make us look useless like this

In the early morning of the third day after the exploration mission began, Feng Ying and her party returned to the camp.

Their group was the last to arrive, and even Aiden and Jean, who separately confirmed the whereabouts of the Steel Dragon and the Flame Fei Dragon, came back slightly earlier than them.

Gordon, who was in charge of the operation, looked strange.

It was certainly a good thing that everyone returned to the camp without any casualties, but Feng Ying's group brought back two more people, which was more mysterious.

After running around all day, experiencing resonance, and staying up all night, Feng Ying was not in good spirits.

But she still forced herself to work with Aibo to report everything she saw and heard during this exploration to Gordon and the others in detail.

After listening to Feng Ying and Aiden's report in full, Gordon slapped Feng Ying hard on the back, and the praise in his tone was undisguised, "Well done, I've done a great job for you!"

Even Anhir, who rarely praised others outright, did not hesitate to praise him a few more times.

"Hehehehe" Feng Ying scratched her head and giggled.

Hayata rubbed Feng Ying's head distressedly and told her to go and rest quickly. The child was walking unsteadily.

After driving the tired young people to rest, Ancier opened the messy map that summarized the information provided by the other seven groups, folded it twice and threw it aside.

Then carefully lay out Ai Bo's portable map in the center of the table.

Looking up at Gordon, Alva and others at the table, Ancil laughed and said:

"The location of the lair of the two ancient dragons was confirmed, the location of the source of life energy and the route to the earth corridor were confirmed, and the terrain was updated, haha

Compared with them, we look like we are here to go shopping. One group of them provided more effective information than the other groups combined. "

"So they are the recommendation group." Hayata smiled, looking happier than finding the key clue himself.

"What a group of energetic young people." The tone of the dragon hunter Mecca was a little subtle, but Gordon and others who had some contact with him could tell that he also had a high opinion of Feng Ying and others.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic first." Anhil called out the attention of everyone around the table.

He placed a brand new map next to April's spiderweb map.

"Thanks to the exploration of each group, we have a more detailed understanding of the current terrain of the Dragon Crystal Land, and we have also confirmed the territory of the Flame Fei Dragon and the Steel Dragon that we must stay away from.

However, these things can be put aside for now. "

Anhil pulled the new map to the center of the table, "We can bypass the Dragon Crystal Land, which has complex terrain and frequent high-danger monsters.

Fly along the coast, pass through this cave leading to the sea, and directly enter the Earth Corridor. "

"Is this still possible?" Gale muttered, "Then wouldn't our investigation over the past two days have been in vain?"

Anhil glanced at her sideways, "It can't be said that it was in vain. At least our investigation of the Dragon Crystal Land has improved a lot. Even if it is not used this time, it is still valuable information."

"Okay." Gale shrugged, "It would be best to save some energy and directly enter the earth veins."

"Mr. Mecca." Anhil looked at the dragon hunter, "You said that the passage to the depths of the Earth Corridor is blocked by crystal pillars. How thick is the blocked area? Have you confirmed it?"

"Yeah." Mecca nodded, "I asked the hunting cat named Mushroom to get in and take a look. The crystal column was blocked for about four to five meters.

The road will gradually become wider after that. Although there are still a lot of crystals, people can still pass through without any problem. "

After hearing this, Gordon looked at the pork chop and asked, "Are you sure it will explode?"

"Please call this situation 'explosion', meow." After Zhupa corrected himself, he asked Mecca seriously, "Mr. Mecca, the texture of the crystals in the earth veins is the same as that on the surface, meow?"

"There's no obvious difference." Mecca took out the piece he knocked off with a bug stick from his bag and handed it to Pork Chop.

"Although the life energy contained is more pure, in terms of physical properties, it should be similar."

After taking it, Pig Chop fiddled with it for a while, then pulled out the cat sword and hit it a few times with the back of the sword until it was broken into pieces. The final result satisfied him.

"It's not a big problem. The hardness is not low but relatively brittle. If a relatively large amount of explosives are used for blasting at one time, it can be exploded in one go." 　　　 "Will it cause a lot of noise?"

Hayata asked with some worry: "Judging from the resonance results with Feng Ying, the 'Light of Life' at the end of the earth's veins can basically be determined to be some kind of ancient dragon that has not yet awakened.

Could the sound of explosions have woken it up? "

Pig Chop scratched his ears, "There's no other way, meow. If you want to explode a four to five meter thick crystal, even if it's not a dense whole, you'll have to use a lot of explosives, meow."

Anhil pondered, "I'm more worried about the insufficient quantity of explosives. After all, we didn't prepare any explosives specifically for blasting and opening roads this time."

"Defuse some diffusion bombs and armor-piercing grenades?" Gordon suggested.

"No!" Anhil refused decisively, "Don't think that the amount of ammunition is excessive. If a battle must occur, this amount of ammunition preparation is necessary."

"Don't worry about the amount of explosives, I can think of a way to deal with it." Pig Chop hugged his little paws and didn't go into detail.

"What can we do? Leave half of it and keep half?" Gale was a little curious. "Are you going to borrow explosives from the Strange Face Clan? I'll go with you!"

"Not meow"

After thinking about it for a moment, Anhil roughly guessed the "method" of pork chop.

Slime mold bombs are not explosives in the conventional sense. The ancient slime mold at the core of their explosion only requires a small amount to provide a very powerful force.

More importantly, as long as these slime molds are provided with suitable living space and sufficient nutrients, they can proliferate in a short period of time.

As for other materials such as glass bottles, soil moss, special nutrients, etc., they are all readily available or are not difficult to prepare.

Give the pork chop a day or two and it will produce a big batch.

Regarding the details of this explosive bomb, the fewer people know about it, the better, especially not letting some big-mouthed guy know about it.

Seeing that Gale still wanted to ask more questions, Anhil interrupted her, "Okay, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

Gale raised his eyebrows, and then realized that there might be something inside. He curled his lips and asked no more questions.

Due to the existence of seaside caves, the steps of the next action plan are much simplified.

After discussion, Gordon and others decided to drive the cargo airship directly into the terrifyingly spacious seaside cave, and then land when it was close to the entrance of the Leyline Corridor.

This can effectively save the hunters' physical strength, allowing them to carry out operations in the best condition.

When discussing the specific arrangements for the actions of each team, Hayata raised his hand, "There is another question about Jean and Mr. Mecca."

The dragon hunter interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I will act with you, but please don't expect too much from my fighting power.

Compared to fighting, I am better at field investigation. "

Gordon didn't believe it all, but he couldn't believe it either.

Putting aside personal experience and skills for the moment, you can tell from the fact that Mr. Mecca didn't even wear any serious armor, he was dressed in casual field clothes, and he was carrying a basic "bone stick", and he didn't even bring an insect-hunting partner.

This old senior is really unable to become a combatant in this battle.

"Let's not incorporate Mr. Mecca into the combat team for now." Gordon rubbed his unshaven chin.

"As for Jean, let's put him into the reserve team. It just so happens that there are only three people in the team including Xingxing, Akarin, and Dono. Plus Jean, it can be regarded as a team with a very strong frontal combat capability.

Let them get used to it in the past few days. It will also take some time to adjust the pork chops and explosive bombs, as well as everyone's rest.

Immediately send a messenger to report the situation to Xingchen, and at the same time notify everyone so that everyone can be prepared.

We will set off as soon as the commander-in-chief's reply arrives. "

Ps.

　I have always been curious about the strength of the dragon-human hunters——

　　It’s okay that the Grand Commander has retired. You still have the reputation of being a “Hunter”. Can you change to a better weapon?
