Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After listening to Gordon's plan, Suda thought for a moment and also felt that it was feasible.

"If you want to talk about terrain suitable for this kind of operation, there are several options." She came to the campfire and spread out a map by the firelight.

"There is a horseshoe-shaped rock wall here."

"There is a canyon here."

"This oasis is surrounded by huge hills, which may also be suitable."

Suda quickly gave several options, and Khalid and Musa each added one.

As Heinie said before, there is no shortage of such high and low places in the desert Gobi.

However, what they need to consider is not only the terrain that will serve as the final battlefield.

Whether the route to lure the Swallowing Abyss Dragon is suitable is also a very important consideration.

After repeated discussions, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, they finally selected two relatively suitable options based on all aspects.

"The wind-eroded stone forest in the north, and the canyon further east." Gordon thought.

Suda smiled and said, "At present, I personally recommend the Stone Forest.

Lehana, you said that the Swallowing Dragon is still near the Great Sand Plain in the north, right?"

The light crossbowman who had just returned not long ago nodded while roasting the food he brought with him, saying, "Yes, I saw it in the evening. It should be sleeping. Its back was exposed on the sand, and it looked like a small hill."

Suda leveled the map, drew a cross at the location where the Swallowing Dragon appeared, and drew a circle at the Stone Forest in the north and the canyon in the east.

"I personally recommend the Stone Forest, for no other reason than that it's close.

The Stone Forest is about five to six kilometers away from the current location of the Swallowing Abyss Dragon. With the cooperation of our superior hunters, it shouldn't be too difficult to lead it into the Stone Forest.

The terrain conditions on the eastern side of the canyon are better, like a big cage, but the straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers. Considering that we have to cross the sand dunes, the walking distance is probably more than twenty kilometers.

Even for hunters like us who are used to operating in the sand, we have to run for most of the day, and accidents are likely to happen."

The light crossbow user Lehana held the food she was carrying in her mouth, and said vaguely. "But if we consider the problem of setting up artillery, the stone forest is not suitable, and it is difficult to concentrate firepower."

"If we cannot successfully lead the Swallowing Abyss Dragon to the decisive battle site, no matter how good the terrain is and how perfect the layout is, it will be a waste of effort."

"Hmm," Gordon said thoughtfully, "Senior Suda, can you take us to confirm the terrain tomorrow?

As for the distance problem, there may be a solution, but it is not certain now."

Suda was slightly stunned when he heard it, "Of course there is no problem to go to the scene to see, but what do you mean by 'solution'?"

Lehana and Khalid also looked over curiously.

"If everything goes well, we may be able to get a very fast airship."

The Latio volcanic area is as hot as ever.

On the airship deck, looking at the rolling volcanic mountains in the distance and the columns of smoke rising into the sky.

Hayata took a deep breath.

The pungent smell of sulfur in the air made her feel an indescribable nostalgia and intimacy.

"Meow" Xianglan covered her nose, looking reluctant.

For various reasons, it has never had a good impression of the volcanic area, but the roasted lizards here are indeed quite delicious.

Sophia, dressed in an emerald green scribe robe, came to Hayata.

After returning to the Old World, she accepted the guild's appointment and became the clerk of the Balubare Guild.

She pushed her glasses and whispered, "Don't you think this scene is a bit familiar?

That year, a small caravan consisting of several caravans set out from Balubare, crossed the continental bridge to the north, and then arrived at the Latio volcanic area on the east coast of the Old Sea."

"We suffered a lot along the way, including the strange monkey fox, the beetle, and the female fire dragon." Hayata, who took over the conversation, said with nostalgia.

"I've suffered a lot? Really?"

Sophia tilted her head and looked puzzled, "Didn't someone kill people all the way from the west coast of the Old Sea to the east coast of the Old Sea?"

"How can it be so exaggerated!" Hayata punched her friend angrily.

"Ah!" Sophia screamed exaggeratedly, but there was a smile in her eyes.

She put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry, "Miss Swordsman, do you know how strong you are? Do you want to kill me with one punch?"

"Huh? Did I use that much force?" Hayata covered her mouth lightly and acted with her, "I only used less than one-third of the force I usually use to hit Gordon."

Sophia rolled her eyes, "How can I compare with your guy? I doubt that even a cannon can't hit him?"

The two of them laughed and played, as if they had returned to ten years ago.

Unconsciously, the volcanic area was getting closer and closer.

The airship descended from the clouds, passed through the pass of a low extinct volcano, and landed in the almost completely closed mountain.

The light of magma radiation replaced the sunlight, dyeing the prosperous village built here with a layer of scorching golden red.

This is the village on the magma lake - Naguli Village.

Just after landing here, sweat has soaked the ends of my hair.

Hayata and Sofia did not feel irritated, because they knew where the best summer drink was.

"Here! Here!"

A familiar shout came.

Not far away, Isana, with her hair tied up, was jumping and waving at them.

"It hasn't been long since we last met, how come you feel you've changed so much?" Sophia looked at Isana running all the way in surprise.

"Your insight is really all about monsters." Hayata sighed helplessly, "You changed your hairstyle."

"Really." Sophia suddenly realized.

Ever since they met Isana, she has always had a simple hairstyle with her hair loose and tied with a headscarf.

Of course, it's not that complicated now, it's just that it's changed from loose to a high ponytail, which makes her baby-faced look a lot more mature.

"How is it!" Isana ran in front of them, put one hand on her waist, and fiddled with her ponytail.

"At least she looks a little more mature than Fengying." Hayata said with a smile.

Isana was immediately discouraged, "That's not much."

Fortunately, she is also an optimistic person, and she quickly recovered her spirits, "Well, at least it proves that the way is right!

Maybe when you see me in a few years, I will become a mature and sexy big sister?"

Hayata and Sophia looked at each other.

They all saw similar thoughts in each other's eyes - they really couldn't imagine such a scene.

"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot something!"

Isana's face was serious, "I received the letter that Hayata sent with a peregrine falcon.

Really, something like this happened in Barubare, and you, the captain and Sophia, didn't even tell me!

If Hayata hadn't sent a letter two days ago, I wouldn't know until now. He really doesn't treat me as a friend!"

Hayata also nodded in agreement.

"For the past few years, the Isana has been sealed in the warehouse of Naguli Village. On the day I received the letter, my father and I went to check it out.

There is no problem with the airbag and the hull. Our Naguli Village is dry, and metal parts are not so easy to rust and decay.

The inspection and maintenance work is in progress. It will be put back into use in two or three days at most!"

Isana said in an orderly manner. As for whether it can be borrowed, neither she nor the village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe considered it at all.

"Oh, now there is only one question left. Well, it feels like I'm back to the old days." Isana crossed her arms and continued:

"We don't have the special gas for the Isana's airbag in Naguli Village. We can use the gas from ordinary airships, but it can't bring out the Isana's maximum speed.

If you want to revive it completely..."

"I understand."

Hayata smiled and asked: "Is there any mine nearby that is harassed or blocked by the armored dragon?"

Ps.

As for whether the water beast girl is Gemma in the wilderness pv, to be honest, the official has not given a solid hammer, but I personally believe it.

I won't say it for sure, you can think whatever you want~
