Steel steam and flame

As evening approached, mist quickly enveloped the surroundings. Relying on the reflection detection of sound, Cassia can still travel at extremely fast speeds in the dimly lit forest even if she does not rely on vision to correct the scene in her head.

The sky turned completely dark, and when the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees, Cassia finally caught up with the five airships. The airship has landed, because only one is pulled by a thick steel cable tied to the ground, hovering slightly higher than the top of the ancient tree, guarding the surroundings. There was a faint flickering light of fire on the lower belly of the cabin of the airship, which was looming. The pursuers should have been stationed there and began to rest. The dangers of hunting at night or capturing creatures like dragons will indeed increase a lot.

After observing, Cassia slipped down from the ancient tree and ran slowly towards the station where the Imperial Observation Base personnel were stationed, while silently using the giant whale method. After practicing at the military school for some time, he decided it was time to put it to a practical test.

When the distance approaches one thousand meters, jogging turns into walking. Cassia relied on the sound to search for possible patrol teams around her, and at the same time experienced her own changes. The temperature difference was not as big as Cassia imagined. He controlled his body temperature to about ten degrees, which was about the same as the surroundings, and then he walked over slowly.

It took about ten minutes to reach a few hundred meters. When the distance shortened to more than 200 meters, Yi could vaguely hear voices coming from the camp. Perhaps he didn't think that anyone other than the observation base would appear in this place at this time, and there was no one patrolling around the simple camp. Cassia lurked outside the camp, gently climbed up the old tree, and "saw" everything surrounded by hundreds of huge tents through the silhouette under the heavy tree trunks in conjunction with the sound.

The five airships were just support, and the simple camp had been built for a week or two. Cassia "saw" some buildings that didn't look like temporary construction. Nearly five hundred people gathered here, and together with the warning airships hovering in the sky, a total of thirteen airships stayed here.

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the fire. It was already past midnight, but the group was still full of energy, or so the noise told him. It seemed like they were at a party. Those people were holding something in their hands, probably wine. At this moment, they were talking to others about their daily life at home, and they were also shouting that after returning from here, they must go to the nearest city to vent their anger.

When Cassia was about to bring the distance closer, the buzzing in front of her suddenly stopped. Cassia returned to her original position and closed her eyes.

It seems that the commander of the camp here came out of the tent and came to the middle of a dozen fires.

"There is good news, and there is bad news." The commander opened his throat and said loudly, and the voice could pass into Cassia's ears slightly without being caught. "The good news is that after three months, our three large teams Finally, the young dragon was surrounded in the middle. It was just over ten kilometers in front of us. After tomorrow, everyone may be able to bid farewell to life here and return safely, ushering in the long-awaited long vacation. But there is also bad news. Tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle. Everyone has seen the growth of that young dragon. It is very smart. After being chased by us, it ran into the geothermal area in front and never came out again. This caused us to lose many of our detection methods. The effect. But fortunately, after these three months of consumption, the young dragon's physical strength should have been greatly depleted by us."

"There are not many opportunities. If I let the baby dragon escape after this time, I am not sure whether it will continue to stay in this general area. The operation will still proceed according to the previous pattern. The airship will first carry out an air strike. The baby dragon will I am very afraid of the sound of the propeller. Intimidated by it, you conduct a containment on the ground and lead it to the set trap. Even if the mission is completed..."

The speech lasted for about ten minutes before it ended. When the words fell, Cassia opened her eyes and began to think deeply. The people at the observation base seemed to have figured out Cassie Hei's weaknesses during this period of time. Perhaps it was for this reason that the battle lasted for so long and then stopped. Even though Cassihei is just a young dragon that has not been born for long and is far inferior to human armed forces in terms of experience, the innate advantages of the second type of creatures make them the overlords of a certain region almost from birth. When the scales were still gray, the defensive power brought about by their hardness could ignore the attacks of many firearms.

I remembered the scene where I met Cassihei, falling from the sky and lying in a pile of dead leaves. Cassia knew why she was afraid of the sound of the propeller. He was attacked by the empire's military airship and then fell into the forest. Not long after Cassie emerged from the dragon egg, the sight he saw at birth has always affected him. When Cassia was still here, Cassia would often look up at the top of his head because of the slightest noise. If the airship is rising a little higher, the sound that ripples to the ground will indeed be very close to the roar of a large lifting device.

That sound has been deeply imprinted in Cassie Hei's head since soon after he was born.

Cassia bypassed the camp at this time and rushed directly to the front.

After more than an hour, the airflow became obviously much faster. The temperature began to rise, traces of steam and smoke seeped out of the ground, and the "chichi" sound of the gas spurting out was heard intermittently. Looking at the mixture of steam and mist in front of him, Cassia sighed inwardly. The scope of the geothermal area was much larger than he expected.

While walking through it, Cassia roared in dragon language. The effect is not obvious. The interference from the sound of gas gush is very strong, and the surrounding trees that have adapted to this environment act as muffler materials. After absorbing the roar layer by layer, Cassia himself has no idea how far it can actually be transmitted. Good expectations.

He could only continue walking in the middle. Cassia took note of the route and checked it layer by layer. Time passed quickly on the mechanical watch for several hours. Cassia meandered in the woods and never received a response.

On the ancient tree, Cassia had to stop after filling her stomach with tree sap. The entire geothermal area was too vast, and even after several hours of busy work, he had not been able to explore it clearly. It was even more impossible to find Cassie Hei.

"We can only wait until the people from the observation base come over and sneak in." Cassia sat on the branch of the ancient tree and said to herself, looking at the direction in which she came. "They should have other ways to find Cassia. The exact location.”

"It seems that the plan to go to the tundra has to be postponed for some time."
