Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

On the second day after being "taken flying" by Fuyuelong.

Saier crawled to the edge of Fuyuelong's back and found a relatively stable place to lie down.

Unlike someone who muddles through, this young man has a serious character inherited from his father. He has really listened to Gale's teaching about "confirming the landmarks at any time".

So today, he only plans to do one thing, that is, overlooking the earth.

Fuyuelong's flying altitude is very high, even above the clouds, and the vast Tross dense forest below is blurred into a dark green.

But if you look closely, you can still barely see some more conspicuous terrains such as mountains, rivers, and large lakes through the gaps in the clouds.

At first, it was difficult for him to associate these terrains with the landmarks on the map that were not depicted in detail.

So he held the map, observing the earth non-stop, and repeatedly comparing it with the map.

From early morning to noon, and then to afternoon, most of the day passed, and he finally completely confirmed their current location.

Things after that were easy.

Using the prominent terrain along the route below as landmarks, the flight route of the floating dragon can be accurately mapped out.

And by the time spent passing through the two landmarks, combined with the scale on the map, the speed of the floating dragon can be easily calculated.

In the end, he concluded that the floating dragon was flying in a nearly straight line in the direction of the northeast.

As for the flying speed, it may be less than ten kilometers per hour.

What is this concept?

Not to mention compared with transportation tools such as airships, if it is on flat land, hunters can run faster than it.

But is this speed really slow?

You know, the floating dragon flies in the sky regardless of the terrain, and it flies day and night. In this way, it can fly 200 kilometers a day.

If it maintains this speed and does not land, they should see the sea in four or five days at most.

Realizing this, Saier hurriedly told his companions about his discovery.

When he first heard this conclusion, Fu Fu was a little panicked.

What are they waiting for? It was nothing more than waiting for the floating Yuelong to land after being tired of flying.

If this guy landed on the ground, everything would be fine. As long as they were careful, it would not be difficult to find a chance to escape from danger. But if this guy landed on the sea.

They swam back?

However, this worry only lasted for a short time.

While Sai Er was looking down at the earth with the map, Fu Fu was not idle either.

After this period of "peaceful coexistence", they were no longer as nervous as when they first went up to the sky. To be honest, the guy under their feet was actually quite docile.

Well, it's not quite right to say "docile". To be more precise, this floating Yuelong didn't care about these flea-like guys at all.

As long as they didn't jump around in front of it, it was too lazy to wave its tentacles and slap them to death.

Realizing this, Fu Fu left the fish fillet in the tree hole to catch up on sleep, and carefully surveyed the thousands of square meters of "forest" on the back of the floating Yuelong several times.

There were many unfamiliar plants, such as the ridiculously strong trees, and there were also many familiar plants, including trees, shrubs, and herbs. She even found a very good-growing herb.

There were no salt-tolerant species among these plants, and the small pond was also relatively clean fresh water.

All this showed that although the floating dragon looked like a big octopus, it should not be accustomed to the ecological environment of the ocean, and the probability of landing on the sea surface was not high.

In this case, there was no need to worry too much.

After listening to Fu Fu's analysis, Sai Er was also slightly relieved.

From the current situation, the floating dragon was most likely to land before reaching the coastline. If this guy was going to cross the sea, the final destination would most likely be the Fenglong area (Old Sea of ​​Trees) on the other side of the sea.

If that were the case, they could only consider themselves unlucky and say goodbye to their parents in the old world.

(For easier understanding, the following diagram is drawn. ① is the location of the cenote where the Fufeng Dragon first slept, ② is the location of the rift valley where Fufu and the others were taken away, and the red arrow is the flight path of the Fufeng Dragon)

At the same time, Jiangbo Village.

On the Dragon Knowledge Ship that was urgently activated, scholars and high-ranking hunters were holding a meeting.

"According to the analysis of the target's size and the lushness of the vegetation on its back in the urgent letter sent back by Ms. Gale, we have reason to suspect that the individual Fuyue Dragon that was originally sleeping in the Tross forest is most likely the first species of Fuyue Dragon - Fufeng Dragon."

"."

"."

"If Fufeng Dragon can easily fly thousands of kilometers continuously, then its behavior of landing in the rift valley to rest is very redundant."

"Combining the above factors, I think it is more likely that the Fufeng Dragon will not cross the sea directly, but will land before reaching the coastline."

The scholars were discussing, and Feng Ying interrupted their discussion with a calm face and a rather impatient look, "So? Give a more direct conclusion."

An hour ago, after receiving the urgent letter from the Peregrine Falcon sent by Sandstone and learning that Fufu and the others were "taken away" by the Fuyue Dragon, Feng Ying wanted to board the high-speed airship to chase after them.

The same was true for Kio, who usually gave people a very stable feeling. It was the investigation captain of the Dragon Calendar Institute who held them back.

Whether it is a light, high-speed airship or a large flying ship like the Dragon Knowledge Ship, preparations for takeoff take time, and the formulation of an action plan is also very important.

A correct version at 16-9-1 book-1 forum!

But it was obviously not realistic to persuade the anxious people to stay in the village for a meeting first. In desperation, the investigation team leader simply transferred everyone to the Dragon Knowledge ship.

While arranging people to add fuel, preheat the boiler, and make a series of preparations before takeoff, the meeting was held directly on the ship.

During this period of time, Feng Ying, Kio and others gradually calmed down, at least they were not ready to draw their knives at any time.

As a scholar of the Dragon Calendar Academy, Isa had long been accustomed to the style of hunters. He didn't care about the bad tone of Feng Ying at all. He walked to the large map hanging on the wall and drew an arc with a charcoal pencil.

"From the description in the letter sent back by Ms. Gale, the flying speed of Fufenglong is not very fast.

If Fuyuelong's forward route remains unchanged, with the speed of the Dragon Knowledge Ship, it is completely possible to bypass, overtake and intercept it.

The plan we recommend is that the Dragon Knowledge Ship sails at full speed to the east coast, rushes in front of Fuyuelong, and then turns around and cuts into Fuyuelong's forward route and sails head-on with it.

This will give us a greater chance of completing the interception."

"No."

Feng Ying's face is still gloomy, "The Dragon Knowledge Ship is too big. Once it appears in Fuyuelong's field of vision, it is very likely to anger it, and the possibility of a battle is very high.

I prefer to release a faster small airship and fly along Fuyuelong. ”

“Or combine the two plans?” Keo also gave his opinion, “The Dragon Knowledge Ship will drop the high-speed airship midway.

After that, the Dragon Knowledge Ship will continue to accelerate to the front of the flight path of Fu Yuelong, ready to intercept, and the small airship will be responsible for the pursuit.

If the small airship successfully catches up with Fu Yuelong and rescues the trapped people, the Peregrine Falcon will send a message to inform the Dragon Knowledge Ship to cancel the interception plan and stay away from Fu Yuelong’s route.

If the rescue fails, then the Dragon Knowledge Ship blocked on the coastline is the last insurance. ”

The scholars whispered and nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with this plan.

But at this moment, Feng Ying once again clearly expressed her opposition.

"No, I've made it very clear before. The Dragon Identification Ship cannot appear in the sight of Fuyue Dragon, even if the high-speed airship fails to rescue it.

Intercept with the Dragon Identification Ship? How do you want to intercept? Fufusel and the others are still on the back of Fuyue Dragon. Do you want to bombard it directly with heavy artillery? Or let the Dragon Identification Ship crash into it?"

Feng Ying's questioning made the meeting room fall into silence.

She glanced at everyone and continued: "Under the current situation, the role of the Dragon Identification Ship is to serve as a movable temporary camp.

Organize, elite combat power, and chase on a high-speed airship. The only way is to arrange the preparations. I will lead the team myself."
