Chapter 605 Isn’t this interesting?

The giant cocoon is entirely made of that amazingly strong golden silk thread.

You don't need to guess to know that this is the "cockpit" prepared by the mysterious monster for itself to protect itself and control the mechanical behemoth without interference.

Faced with such a tough thread that could break the hole with a knife, Pork Chop didn't even have the desire to pull out the cat sword.

At this time, it was extremely happy.

Although I learned to transform into a ghost a few days ago, I have been scratching with my claws a lot recently.

But in essence, he has always been a bomb cat.

"Blast you meow meow!"

Pig Chop took out all the incendiary bombs in his bag and threw them onto the golden cocoon.

On top of the giant cocoon, flames rose.

However, what Pork Chop didn't expect was that this kind of silk thread would become brittle under the flames, but it was not flammable.

The scene it expected of a raging fire igniting and roasting the mysterious monsters inside did not appear, but several small holes were burned out in the giant golden cocoon.

"Ho-hum——"

Sensing the danger, the giant mechanical beast roared, raised its sharp tail like a scorpion, and stabbed down hard towards the location of the pork chop.

Pork Chop quickly jumped to dodge, and the falling giant steel tail directly shattered the boulder it was standing on.

"Scared to death, meow!"

At this moment, a series of barks came from the distance.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

"It's a strong wind!"

Gordon's surprised shout came from below, "Pork chop! Get ready to retreat!"

"Understood, meow!"

The pork chop jumped onto the giant cocoon, scratched it on the edge of the holes burned by the incendiary bombs, and looked inside.

Its sight met for a moment with the mysterious monster in the giant cocoon.

"Jiye!"

The mysterious monster with countless threads wrapped around its body let out a sharp scream.

Not to be outdone, Pork Chop bared his fangs and said, "Look at you!"

With that said, a flash bomb was thrown in.

Strong light erupted inside the giant cocoon, and the mechanical behemoth suddenly trembled violently. If it weren't for the golden threads that still firmly fixed all parts of the mechanical behemoth, it might have begun to disintegrate at this time.

The pork chop jumped left and right, flying downwards.

And Gordon, who was riding Gale Wind, was also sprinting towards it.

"Ho-boom——!"

The mysterious monster that recovered from the stun effect of the flash bomb screamed angrily, and the sound turned into a low roar under the resonance of the metal components, resounding throughout the underground cave.

The giant steel tail, dragon-killing gun, silk thread, and all kinds of messy things all hit the pork chop.

"Pork chop! Jump!"

"Meow!"

When Pork Chop took a risk and jumped down, Gale Wind also jumped high, but the timing of the two was not very good, and they were about to miss each other.

Fortunately, Gordon reached out in time, fished it out with his big hand, and just caught the tail of the pork chop.

"Meow meow meow meow?!"

The pork chop being held upside down screamed, but Gordon had no time to pay attention.

"Gale! Run!"

"In the end what happened!"

On the empty boat that was swaying left and right and rising slowly, Ms. Duda asked loudly.

The noise of the howling wind and sand is endless, and if you don't roar like this, the people around you can't hear you at all.

"I can't tell at the moment! The mechanical behemoth appears!"

Anhil pointed in the direction of the castle ruins, "Anyway, bring the airship over first, but don't lower it too low, at least thirty or forty meters above the ground! Then lower the rope ladder!"

"Let's go talk to the driver!"

Duda took Ancil to the driver's side, and Ancil repeated the request.

"That height is too dangerous!"

The driver was trying hard to control the steering wheel while shouting: "It is dangerous for an airship to take off under this wind. The terrain in the ruins is complicated and the low-air flow is too chaotic!

If it hovers at a low altitude, something could easily happen!"

Anhil was too lazy to argue with him, and directly pulled Ms. Duda aside, "That is an unprecedented ancient dragon-level creature!

Its core is an insect less than fifteen meters long, but it can control tens of thousands of tons of stone and steel parts to assemble it into a behemoth that is no less than a super-giant ancient dragon!

Madam! You understand the danger of this creature. Only Gordon has fought with it and has information about it!

Whether it is for the guild, Longliyuan, or countless towns in the southern part of the continent, this information is more important than anything else!"

While Ms. Duda was surprised by the mysterious creature described by Ancil, she rolled her eyes helplessly.

This guy is full of nonsense, and the most important thing is that he speaks righteously and well-founded words. Should he really say that he is a descendant of the Sterling family?

Although he had no intention of giving up on the hunter named Gordon, other members of the advance team were not necessarily willing to risk their lives to come close to saving others.

So you have to convince everyone with such truths as "ancient dragon-level creatures", "information only possessed by Gordon", and "the safety of countless people is related to it", right?

Ms. Duda stretched out her finger and poked Ancil's forehead, then walked over to communicate with the driver.

With the concerted efforts of the crew, the transport airship shook and bumped, but still continued to fly in the direction of the castle ruins.

Anhil quickly came to the side of the ship, set up the heavy crossbow, adjusted the sight to high magnification, used it as a telescope, and locked on the wellhead leading to the underground cave.

This is their only entrance and exit.

The empty boat moved forward hard, the bumps became more and more severe, and the speed became slower and slower.

The pilot, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, was covered in sweat, and the sweat was stained with the fine sand blown by the strong wind, making him look gray and gray.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "We can't go any further! The airflow next to the large building will be even more chaotic. If we get closer, we will be photographed on the castle!"

"Hover as much as possible! Maintain altitude!" Ms. Duda responded loudly.

"With such a strong wind, it's impossible to hover!"

"Then control the airship in a circle!"

Ancil's eyes were fixed on the mouth of the well. He was not sure whether Gordon, Pork Chop, Gale and the others could escape in time.

"Roar, rumble, rumble—!"

A low muffled roar could be heard faintly underground, and even the biting wind could not completely cover it up.

"What's the sound? An earthquake?!" a sailor with sharp ears asked loudly.

"have no idea!"

Immediately afterwards, the ground really shook violently.

In the area near the castle ruins, the ruins of the already dilapidated buildings collapsed in pieces, and the ground bulged slightly, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Anhil's gaze turned to the ridge of the land, his expression frighteningly gloomy.

Of course he knew what the giant thing that was about to break through the surface of the earth was, but

"Look! Someone is running out!" A crew member standing on the side of the ship pointed in one direction and shouted loudly.

Anhil turned his head sharply and looked.

Gordon rode Gale Wind, carrying the pork chop, and rushed out of the ancient well that had been dry for many years. He was running wildly in the direction of the airship on the narrow road.

And behind them is the earth rising higher and higher.

"Get off the rope ladder quickly!" Anxier shouted.

The heavy ladder was thrown down by the crew, but its length was slightly insufficient and it did not even touch the ground.

"Quick! Descend a little more!"

"I'll try my best!" the pilot also yelled, and he slowly pushed down the elevator.

However, at this moment, a strong wind blew, forcing the empty boat to float higher.

“Rumble, rumble—!”

The earth cracked.

The first thing to be lifted out of the ground was a wedge-shaped head made of steel. It opened its huge mouth full of iron teeth and let out a bell-like roar.

Everyone on the airship couldn't help but open their mouths.

Although everyone has heard about the mechanical behemoth, "hearing about it" and "seeing it with your own eyes" are two completely different things.

The airboat was still rising slowly, riding on the wind.

"Hey! Bastard! Descend quickly!" Anhil almost turned the gun and pointed it at the driver.

"The wind is too strong! It can't go down, and it's going to be out of control!" The driver's face was covered with sweat, and grooves were made on his face covered with dust, making him look embarrassed and funny.

Just when Ancil was about to lose his mind, he had the dangerous idea of ​​snatching the rudder.

The gale chasing behind the airship seemed to have broken through some kind of bottleneck, and its speed suddenly increased.

Without anyone's command or reminder, it used its strength to jump onto the wreckage of a building, and used the broken stone roof as a springboard to jump up.

"Ouch!"

It used its teeth and front claws to climb up to the end of the rope ladder floating in mid-air.

"Great job!" Ancil almost jumped up. He shouted with dancing: "Quick! Get up quickly! Pull them up!"

The airship swayed in the strong wind, riding on the wind and rising higher into the sky.

Below, the mechanical behemoth raised its neck and opened its huge mouth, trying to bite Gordon Gale and the others hanging at the end of the rope ladder, but in the end it took a step too slow and ate nothing.

I could only watch the transport airship passing through the wind and sand, rising into the clouds, and finally disappearing at the end of the field of vision, letting out waves of unwilling roars.

"Hoot buzz——!!!"

A frighteningly large tooth hound, a similarly large and heavily armed hunter, plus only a few hunting cats.

It took a lot of effort for the crew to finally drag these extremely heavy guys onto the deck of the airship.

Ms. Duda just felt lucky at this time. Fortunately, their rope ladder was made of iron chains and was strong enough. They had to use smaller cables.

Maybe it's all broken.

Gordon, Pork Chop, and Gale were lying on their backs on the deck, breathing heavily.

Ancier's stinky face came into Gordon's sight.

The latter couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Anhil couldn't help but curse.

"Working hard and getting nothing, but isn't it quite interesting!"

Ps.

Of course it’s impossible to beat that, that, that, that, that—

According to the description in the game, the Mantis Guild summoned "unprecedented strength" including Ryūryin's aerial units to finally complete the crusade.

It is too exaggerated to be able to hunt with two people now.

The reason why Pavilion Mantis appears once in the first place is that due to the setting of this monster, it is almost impossible to kill it at first sight in a real encounter.

You definitely need to be aware of the existence of this kind of thing first, then collect targeted intelligence, organize forces, and arrange tactics before you can kill it.

The real plot of hunting the mantis in the pavilion will take a long time, so we can dig a hole first.

However, it is indeed mentioned in the setting that the ecological niche and combat power of the Pavilion Mantis in the normal state are lower than that of the ancient dragon, while the Pavilion Mantis in the "Rumor City" state is considered to be upper-class among the ancient dragons.

In this way, if it is truly based on practical considerations, the most correct approach is to arrange for a team of experts to find an opportunity to kill the pilot before the Gundam is activated (why do I think of Mercury Witch's Tomato Shooting?).

But the novel can't be written like this, it would be too vulgar and boring. If there is no Gundam, is the Pavilion Mantis still called the Pavilion Mantis?
