Chapter 865 This flag is planted firmly

The speed of the dragon consciousness ship is much faster than that of ordinary airships.

After flying along the northern coastline of the Geokrok Inland Sea for two days and one night, they arrived at the airspace of East Doruma and were slowly landing.

In less than two days, the originally complete corpse of the Pavilion Mantis has been dissected and broken down into countless parts by scholars.

Even in the dissecting room at the headquarters of Wang Li's Paleontology Scribes Team, nothing can be done more meticulously or better than theirs.

After all, the Dragon Sense Ship is not essentially a vehicle, let alone a battleship, but an aerial research laboratory equipped with top-notch scientific research equipment.

The information and specimens obtained during the dissection process, as well as the matter of dissecting the mantis in the pavilion, are the "rewards" for Long Shichuan's risky participation in this incident.

All in all, the scholars at Longli Academy are extremely satisfied with this reward.

The same goes for Gordon and the others.

The yield rate of materials produced by scholars through meticulous dissection is far higher than that achieved by stripping and randomly digging with a knife.

Even if scholars collect some scraps as specimens, they still make a lot of money.

If they had to peel off many things by themselves, they would probably not be able to collect them at all and would only be lost in vain, such as an emerald green volatile liquid with a pungent aroma extracted from the tail glands.

Scholars named it "Praying Mantis Fragrance" and speculated that it was some kind of pheromones used to attract male praying mantises.

There are also many golden carapaces, iridescent back armor, gorgeous thorns, elegantly curved sickle blades, remaining golden silk threads, etc.

Neatly stacked on the deck, they are like the treasures of ancient heroes. They are so jeweled that it is difficult to take your eyes away.

The most eye-catching one is a piece of dazzling jade, about the size of an egg, which exudes iridescent light.

According to the introduction from the scholars of Longli Academy, this gem is not only beautiful to look at, but also contains amazingly powerful energy. They even gave it a nice name.

——The beautiful jade of Pavilion Mantis.

Gordon rubbed his chin.

If these materials are shown to the dragon craftsman, the legendary old craftsman will also be moved, right?

I don’t know what kind of equipment can be built, which is exciting.

However, the good mood of Gordon and others did not last long.

When the height of the dragon consciousness ship dropped to only a few hundred meters, they finally noticed something was wrong.

The ground and city walls of East Doruma Battle Street are full of pits and traces of battles. One city wall even collapsed in half. Craftsmen have set up scaffolding and are working hard to repair it.

There are also obvious dents on the thick city gate. This is a steel city gate that can withstand continuous artillery bombardment!

During the time they left Dongdoruma, this majestic city on the mainland also suffered attacks.

The Dragon Sight ship finally landed in a large dock near Battle Street.

Ancil was the first to jump off the side of the ship. The tragedy of Metabetate made him extremely nervous, so he arrested a nearby craftsman to inquire about the situation.

The craftsman obviously didn't know the specific situation very well and spoke vaguely.

He just told them that the attacking monsters did not break through the Battle Street, and there were no casualties in the city.

This made Anhir relax and calm down.

"The attacker is probably Gu Long." Gordon said, "That's why the guild blocked the news to prevent citizens from being overly nervous."

"Probably." Anhil nodded in agreement.

"Could it be that mysterious ancient dragon?" Hayata shook his head and rejected it mid-sentence, "No, if it was that guy, there should be traces of black oil and burning on the scene."

At this time, a guild member came forward to greet him.

Gordon had seen this man in the Grand Elder's Hall, and he seemed to be one of the civilian staff around the Grand Elder.

"Everyone on the silver side, please follow me. The great elder has been waiting for you for a long time." The guild clerk leaned forward and held his hand.

Gordon and the others exchanged glances.

After successfully defeating the Pavilion Mantis, they sent the Peregrine Falcon to deliver the letter. The speed of the high-speed Dragon Sense Ship was not much inferior to that of the Peregrine Falcon.

It is estimated that as soon as the Great Elder received the letter, he sent this man to wait here at the big dockyard.

"let's go."

In the familiar hall, the Great Elder sat here as usual.

The old dragon man's face was still dark, but at least the air pressure around him was not as low as the last time they met. When he saw Gordon and the others coming in, he even showed a slight smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have received the letter, as well as the letter of thanks from President Zheluo. You have done a good job on Metabetate.

No, maybe I should praise more directly, you saved that city and saved tens of thousands of lives."

The great elder put his hands on his knees and bowed to the hunters beside the bank.

The three Gordons quickly got out of the way.

The great elder raised his head and continued: "Although there is no taboo involved, considering that you predicted the attack location of the mysterious ancient dragon and the Mantis in advance, killed the Mantis, and finally defended the city.

After discussion, this mission will be recorded as nine stars, which is a great achievement that can be recorded in history, and the matching rewards and rewards will be distributed soon."

"Great Elder, is this too exaggerated?"

Gordon touched his nose. Compared to a few years ago when he was so respectful and didn't even dare to raise his head, he was now much more casual in front of the great elder. "During the defense battle of Metabetate, the local hunters and the Dragon Sense Ship

The effect is far-reaching.”

The great elder waved his hand and interrupted him, "Those old men all know that their commendations, honors and rewards will not be less, and the guild will not favor one over another."

".All right."

"Also, I originally planned to take this opportunity to promote you, Gordon, Ancier to the eight-star hunter, and Hayata to the seven-star hunter, but your master Kambei strongly opposed it.

I want to ask your opinion."

"Ah?" Gordon was stunned, "Great Elder. I was promoted to Seven Stars in August last year, after the Sky Comet Dragon incident. It's less than a year ago?"

Hayata followed: "I was promoted to six stars in July last year, which was also less than a year ago."

An Xil even rolled his eyes, "I was promoted to Seven Stars in December last year, and it's been, um, four months now."

"."

The great elder stroked his beard and asked, "Is it because I am too impatient?"

"Yes." Ancier answered very rudely: "You are indeed too impatient. At our age, it is too heavy to carry such a level of honor."

The Great Elder sighed, "Well, maybe it's because you hunted too many ancient dragon-level creatures. I thought a long time had passed.

The Sky Comet Dragon, the Sky Dragon, and the Pavilion Mantis are all three, and the Thunder God Dragon is also considered half. Ordinary eight-star hunters may not have the experience of hunting so many ancient dragons or ancient dragon-level creatures."

"This is all thanks to you." An Xil said angrily.

"You kid." The great elder glanced at Anxier.

Although he has a hot temper, the old guy will not be angry because of such verbal offense, especially when the other party has performed his duties as a hunter excellently.

Hayata quickly smoothed things over, "How about we get down to business first? There are still many details of this investigation and battle that have not been reported."

"Hmph -" the great elder shook his eyebrows, "Looking at your intentions, you don't seem to want to be promoted, so that's all, follow your wishes and postpone it for now.

Wait until, um, when you hunt an ancient dragon again, I will promote you."

Gordon twitched his lips, the flag was planted firmly.

After skipping the topic of collective promotion, the three people in Yinbian complemented each other and reported their findings, experiences and speculations in recent days to the great elder one by one.

The old man frowned as he listened.

"The matter with Pavilion Mantis is finally over, but that mysterious ancient dragon is still a huge hidden danger. Do you think the attack will continue?"

"Yes." Gordon answered decisively, "It will even happen soon, because we detonated gunpowder in its belly, and it should still be very hungry, so it will naturally want to continue looking for food."

Hayata also made a suggestion, "Since the mysterious ancient dragon flies back and forth over the inland sea, maybe its whereabouts can be found on some islands in the inland sea?"

With such a large body and smeared with black oil, it shouldn't be difficult to find it given the general range."

"This is a good idea. I will arrange manpower for reconnaissance as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute, I have a question." Anhil suddenly raised his hand, "Great Elder, among the cities around the inland sea, which city has the largest amount of gunpowder reserves?

We may be able to predict the mysterious ancient dragon's next attack target from this perspective."

The great elder's face darkened, "It should be Dongdoruma. The arsenal was attacked. In order to deal with the attack of the rusty steel dragon, the logistics department worked overtime to produce a large amount of gunpowder.

Most of it has not been consumed and is currently stored in a warehouse on Battle Street."
