Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After arriving at the camp located in the northern part of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland, Gordon immediately organized a meeting for everyone.

He felt like he was being infected by the Commander-in-Chief, but such a meeting was really necessary.

Without beating around the bush, Gordon used the most concise and straightforward language to convey the current battle plan and the primary goal of finding the Molten Dragon's weakness to everyone.

"A cooling organ?" Ancier pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I have a suggestion, let experienced editors join the investigation.

Gale and I have just finished a back-mounted reconnaissance. To be honest, the danger is not high. The only thing we need to watch out for are the hovering acid pterosaurs.

The editors have much richer biological knowledge than we do, and with their guidance we will not be wandering aimlessly. "

"I support this proposal!"

"I support it too!"

Alva, the man with glasses, and Sophia, the girl with glasses, said in unison, very excited.

Gordon thought for a while, and considering that the presence of pterosaurs meant that the editors could evacuate at any time if they encountered danger, he nodded and agreed.

Next, the hunters began to exchange information and discuss the specific process of reconnaissance.

There are no novice hunters who can be selected into the investigation team and come to the New World. Everyone has carried out reconnaissance missions to some extent, but this is the first time they have encountered the situation of climbing on the back of a monster for reconnaissance.

The top hunters who have conducted several rounds of reconnaissance in the past few days share their experiences with everyone.

For example, you should bring enough cold drinks, and be prepared at all times to deal with the situation when the flat road turns into a cliff due to the changes in the movements of the Lava Dragon.

The discussion of tactics was not limited to high-ranking hunters. With the encouragement of Gordon and the others, the young hunters and editors began to express their opinions.

Soon, Feng Ying's partner Ai Bo came up with an interesting suggestion.

——Abandon daytime reconnaissance and switch to night reconnaissance.

Almost no hunter will think in this direction. In their thinking, dark night often means danger, cold, impaired vision, reduced perception, and easy to get lost.

The risks can be said to be as high as they are.

Even if the sun sets in the middle of the hunt, the hunters have to think carefully about whether they should return to camp first instead of risking a night battle.

However, each case is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Many shortcomings of night operations no longer seem to be shortcomings when it comes to detecting Laoshan Dragon.

The most basic point is temperature.

Due to drought and sunshine, the temperature in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland is very high during the day. At this time, it will naturally feel unbearable to climb Laoshanlong, a literal "active volcano".

There will be no such problem at night.

Although the temperature difference between day and night in the Big Ant Mound Desert is not as exaggerated as in the Great Desert, where it can drop to freezing point at night, it is still only around ten degrees Celsius, which is very cool. It can even feel a little cold if you don't wear enough clothes.

If you land on Laoshanlong at this time, you will probably still feel muggy, but it will most likely not affect normal operations.

Moreover, when the ambient temperature is lower, it should be easier to find the heat dissipation organ.

There is also the problem of Sour Pterodactyl harassment.

In the past few days, when the superior hunters approached the Molten Dragon, they were attacked by the Acid Pterosaur.

Of course the hunters have the ability to protect themselves, but it would be somewhat dangerous if they brought the editors with them.

If you conduct reconnaissance at night, there will be much less trouble in this regard. After all, Acid Pterosaurs are diurnal and basically sleep after nightfall. As long as you are careful, you will not disturb them.

As for the biggest risk of traveling at night - being attacked and ambushed by monsters, there is no need to worry.

The upper level hunters have confirmed in previous investigations that there are no other monsters living on the back of the Lava Mountain Dragon, so there is no need to worry about a red-armored beast suddenly appearing.

Taken together, the advantages of carrying out the back-mounting reconnaissance operation against Laoshan Dragon at night far outweigh the disadvantages.

Immediately afterwards, Gordon and others discussed and confirmed the list of hunters who would take turns to scout in the next period of time.

Seeing that he was not on the list, Jean jumped out, "Why didn't you include me? We want to go too!"

Gordon glanced at the bandages on his body that had not yet been removed, and the meaning was self-evident.

"The injury has been healed a long time ago! It's just that they didn't let us take off the bandage!" Gene took off his shirt and ripped off the bandages on his body, revealing several pit-shaped wounds ranging from the size of coins to the thickness of his wrist.

These are caused by the bone spines shot by the extermination dragon.

Over the past few days, thanks to Xianglan's efforts, Jean's wounds have basically healed, but there are still some bloody scabs that have not yet fallen off.

Gene grabbed the blood scabs casually, and the skin was torn in several places, and blood seeped out of the new pink flesh.

Xianglan jumped on the table angrily, kicked Gene in the face, "It's so contagious!"

Gene, on the other hand, looked indifferent. In his opinion, these small breaks were not even injuries.

Looking at Gene, whose upper body was exposed and covered with scars and had a stubborn expression, Gordon waved his hand helplessly, "I'll add you if I add you. Go get some medicine."

"Hehe!" Jean winked at Xianglan proudly and prepared to find his own armor.

Gordon stopped him, "Come back! You are not allowed to wear Tyrannosaurus armor."

"Why!" Gene opened his eyes wide and turned around to yell.

Gordon glared back, "It's so damaged and you still wear it? Ask Isana to help you repair it."

"Oh, you can wear it after it's repaired, right?"

"It's not allowed either. It's forbidden to use it until you learn to suppress the aura of that equipment!"

The Laoshan Dragon is slow and slow, giving people a gentle and slow feeling, but it is also an ancient dragon species. It can ignore a few people on its back and treat them as just a few ants.

But if you find something like a Tyrannosaurus crawling on its back, who knows how it will react?

And the missing Nergigante

Under Gordon's stern glare, Gene looked away and muttered, "But we don't have any other armor to use."

"Hehehe, you can wear the defense suit." Aiden smiled and put his elbow on Gene's shoulder.

Gene's face darkened, "I don't have a defense team."

Feng Ying winked and put her elbow on his other shoulder, "It's okay, we brought you a set from Xingchen.

Our recommendation group is to be neat and tidy, hahahahaha! "

At this moment, the far other side of the New World.

Deep in the Earth Corridor, in a huge underground cave filled with crystalline pillars, fluorescent blue light illuminated and darkened as regularly as breathing.

The source of the light is an exaggeratedly huge "cocoon" surrounded by countless magnificent crystals.

"Dong Dong. Dong."

The heavy and powerful heartbeat sounded from the giant cocoon, and the flickering light in the cave became faster and brighter.

Invisible fluctuations spread out from the giant cocoon.

This wave penetrated crystals and rock formations, passed through canyons and mountains, and continued to spread outward and spread again.

It is like an invisible wind that awakens countless sleeping ancient beings. It spans thousands of kilometers of space, blowing through the wasteland of large ant mounds and the slow-moving molten dragon.

The Lava Mountain Dragon opened its dim eyes that had almost lost the luster of life. Its body trembled and it let out a dull roar like an earthquake.

Its pace has accelerated.

Ps.

The "call" of the Dark Lantern Dragon can attract ancient dragons. It is an official design, but the specific form of expression is not stated clearly.

In the game, I was just attracted and changed my direction (lost in the Leyline Corridor)

Here, the Lava Mountain Dragon became active and accelerated its pace because of being "called". This is not in the official setting and is an extension of the second setting.
