Chapter 785 Sweet Meow

As the cargo airship slowly flew to the ruins plain, Gordon and Mr. Issa chatted a lot and learned a lot.

Scholars look at things from a different perspective than hunters, but information and intelligence are the same.

For example, Mr. Issa told Gordon that although the electric dragon and the fire dragon both belong to the family Flying Dragon, their bones are relatively slender. Their hind limbs are not as strong as the fire dragon, and they cannot grab heavy prey and fly like the fire dragon.

But relatively, their bodies are lighter, their wing claws are well-developed and sharp, and their flying abilities are outstanding. They can even fly higher and faster than the "King of the Sky" Fire Dragon.

What Gordon heard when he heard this was that he didn't have much strength in his hind legs, so there would probably be relatively few ground battles, and he most likely wouldn't be able to pounce on the enemy from top to bottom like the fire dragon.

Instead, it has outstanding flying ability and well-developed wing claws. I am afraid that it is good at using both wings to attack.

This information made Gordon slightly modify the battle plan. If possible, he planned to deal with the electric dragon first. For swordsmen, monsters that are good at flying are always a problem.

In comparison, the female fire dragon is much easier to deal with, and the title of "Queen of the Earth" does not have much of a deterrent effect on high-level hunters.

I just hope that those two guys don't cooperate with each other passionately. If they attack one by one at the same time, they will still have some headaches.

The airship arrived at the ruins plain and when it approached the hunter camp, Pork Chop found Mr. Issa.

It prepared a considerable number of flash bombs and planned to give some to Mr. Issa, but it did not expect that Issa was much more prepared than they thought.

In addition to invisibility clothing, he also brought a lot of telescopes, forcible drugs, flash bombs, and fertilizer bombs. He even prepared paralysis traps. A scrivener team member who goes into a field investigation alone may not carry so many props.

Gordon suddenly realized that his judgment should be correct. Even if he rejected Isa forcefully and did not take him to observe the target, there is a high probability that this guy would run out on his own.

Maybe, this is a scholar.

"Pork Chop, keep an eye on him when the time comes."

".I understand, meow."

As the airship descended from the clouds, the vast ruins plain appeared before everyone's eyes.

The air bag was huge and complicated, and the porter, which looked a bit bloated overall, began to descend, but it did not fall directly to the ground, but hovered dozens of meters above the hunter's camp.

Several thick cables fixed it to the mountain near the camp to prevent it from being blown away by the occasional strong wind on the ruins plain.

After falling to the ground via the zipline, Gordon looked up at the airship in the sky, "Is this okay? But there are two large flying dragons inhabiting this area."

Isa's landing movements were also very neat. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It is really dangerous for a small airship less than ten meters long to hover in the air for a long time. The flying dragon that regards the sky as its territory is very likely to attack.

Shoot it down.

However, the 'Porter' is a heavy-duty cargo airship, and even a large and violent flying dragon will not attack an opponent several times its own size at will.

There are also several heavy-duty crossbows installed on the airship, so that if it is really attacked, it has the ability to fight back and protect itself.

Monsters flying in the air rarely choose to fight to the death. If they get entangled together and fall down, they will die, so there is basically no need to worry about the electric dragon and fire dragon attacking an airship the size of the 'Porter'."

"That's it." Gordon nodded understandingly.

He personally experienced the incident where Tian Huilong attacked the Dragon Sense Ship, but that was probably because Tian Huilong was extremely angry and hated human beings at that time.

And that's an ancient dragon, not a flying dragon.

"Of course, the more important factor is that the airbag refilling process of heavy-duty cargo airships is complicated, and the special gas used is also quite expensive."

"Okay, I understand." Gordon grinned and ignored the topic.

He unfolded the map and pointed at a high mountainous area, "When you flew over from the air before, you said that the location of the dragon's nest is in the fifth district in the northeast, right?"

"It should be." Mr. Isa pushed up his glasses that were about to slide down the bridge of his nose, "To be precise, the mountainous terrain in the fifth area is very suitable for flying dragons to build their nests.

As the 'kings' of this nearby area, the electric dragon and the female fire dragon have no reason to build the dragon's nest elsewhere.

If another more powerful flying dragon species invades and successfully becomes the new lord of the nearby area, there is a high probability that they will choose that mountain to build their nest."

Looking at the dense contour lines on the map, Gordon was speechless.

The ruins plain, right? You call this a plain, right?

"This road doesn't look easy to walk. It should take about three hours to get there one way, even if everything goes well." Gordon estimated the distance.

The pork chop seemed a bit difficult.

With such a long distance, will it really be able to catch up with the battle when it escorts Issa back to the camp and then runs back? It would still be somewhat dangerous for Gordon to face two large flying dragons alone.

Isa saw Pig Chop's concern and said quickly: "There is no need to send me back to the camp. No, no, I don't mean to cause trouble. Look here."

Issa pointed to a location further east on the map, "There is a small closed cave here. The only entrance and exit is a narrow stone crevice. You can only get in by turning sideways. Monsters cannot get in at all.

You can leave me here and take me back to the camp after the battle is over."

Gordon looked at the location on the map, then glanced at the middle-aged scholar, feeling that this guy probably wasn't enough to lie about something so life-threatening.

"That's it, seize the time to rest. We will set off in the middle of the night and arrive at the dragon's nest before early morning. The electric dragon and the female fire dragon should both be diurnal and should still be sleeping in the dragon's nest at this time.

If the battle is resolved before noon, then there is no need to go back to the camp. How about directly firing a flare to notify the 'porters' to fly over, recover the two anesthetized dragons, and then return?"

"Is this considered a tactical arrangement?!" Issa asked with a look of astonishment on his face.

"This is the itinerary."

…

Two people and a cat walked through the mountains and valleys of the ruins plain.

Gordon sighed for the umpteenth time in his heart: You call this a plain?

Fortunately, Mr. Isa's legs and feet are really nimble. It seems that his experience in the Paleontology Scriveners Team and his frequent activities in the wild are not lies.

In the wild, without a good body and strong feet, you cannot keep up with the pace of hunters.

The bright starlight melted into the sky, replaced by the color of iron gray, and dawn was about to come.

The journey from the camp to the dragon's nest can be said to be smooth and hassle-free.

Only once did I encounter a lone dog dragon, but the dog dragon seemed to be afraid of Gordon's size and turned around and ran away, which surprised Issa, an animal behaviorist.

The dragon's nest is located on the top of a mountain.

The rugged boulders surround the top of the mountain, forming a structure similar to a "broken bowl". For large flying dragons, it is both convenient for entry and exit and can protect against wind and rain. It is indeed a very good nesting place.

Gordon grabbed Isa who couldn't wait, and instead of rushing to the top of the mountain to climb the dragon's nest, he asked Piglet to explore the way and reconnaissance first.

Within a few minutes, Pork Chop ran back with a strange expression on his face.

"How's it going? Are the electric dragon and the female fire dragon in the dragon's nest?" Isa was obviously more anxious than Gordon.

Zhupa scratched his ears and said, "Meow, the two dragons are sleeping next to each other, meowing sweetly."

"Weird thing." Gordon muttered.

"I gonna go see!"

Issa climbed to the top of the mountain without saying a word, and the thick spectacle lenses seemed to be shining.
