There is no road to this mountain, the terrain is steep, high motor vehicles cannot pass, you can only rely on foot to go up the mountain, when you lower your body almost rubbed against the ground, and try to choose the ravines, depressions, and the shadows of large trees to advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Every time, I change the camouflage that matches the terrain, camp as soon as the sun goes down, and continue the next morning.

Even if you walk slowly, if you keep walking, you will reach your destination one day.

Towards dusk on the third day, we finally reached the halfway point of the Teyuba Mountains. The smell of sulfur was permeated in the vicinity, and the smell camouflage was useless.

Everyone's appearance has also been changed to a camouflage covered in sand and dirt. Itami also smeared his and Duja's siblings with mud to disguise camouflage, making the green color less conspicuous.

Idami, who had stood still, gave a prostrate command to everyone and beckoned to Kulou as a guide. Since the man had been here before, he had been here before, so he took on the role of guide.

"What's the matter?"

Kurou came to Itami and crouched down.

"Did the Yanlong enter and exit from the top of that mountain?"

"Yes, it nests on a platform jutting out of the rock wall inside the crater!"

Kulou began to explain.

The reason he had been here before was to collect sulfur near the volcano. Dried fruits smoked by the smoke from burning sulphur will last longer and will have a brighter color.

Although he only came to collect sulfur, he stumbled upon a cave not far from here. Try to enter the cave and find that the cave is connected to the inside of the volcano, and there is a sleeping dragon on the platform protruding from the rock wall.

"The moment I saw it, I thought something was wrong, so I ran away. ”

Itami inquired in detail about the situation inside the volcano and the cave, especially about the air inside.

In Kulou's account, the crater is bottomless, and the situation in the depths of the sunken crater below is completely unknown. However, the ventilation in the adjacent cave is surprisingly good, and the air quality is quite good compared to the foul-smelling surface.

"Is the dragon's lair inside the cave?"

Lori next to her seemed to be surprised, and closed her mouth in a panic.

"No, it's inside the crater. The cave is just connected to the crater. ”

"So, how about going down from the top of the mountain?"

"No, the inside of the crater is full of steep cliffs, I don't think it's possible. ”

Lori, who couldn't go underground, frowned, and Itami smiled at her, "Don't worry about it that much!"

"It's okay, it's good that Lori is outside, just help observe if Yanlong is back when we're inside, and if it comes back, contact us immediately, and ・・・・・・・・We still have Eva~"

According to the plan, infiltrate the interior to investigate, install explosives if Yanlong is not there, and evacuate immediately if he does nothing, and wait silently until Yanlong leaves the nest. Either way, you don't need to fight, and if it goes well, you won't have to let Lori or Eva make a move.

"Isn't it okay if you don't stop Yanlong from leaving?"

"Well, I don't want it to be suspicious, so I'll just let it pass like this. As soon as we were ready, we hid and waited until the guy left. ”

Itami pondered, 'Do you know how to use this?' as she touched the microphone that reached her neck from her ear. Lori also pulled the microphone to her mouth in a panic, and Itami asked both Lori and Relai to bring the radio.

"Anyway, now start the internal investigation. ”

Itami put Durga down, intending to enter with only one rifle. When he was about to do this, the black elves, including Yao, insisted on persuading him to stay.

"Please leave this trivial matter to me. ”

Itami gladly accepted their offer and let Yao and Kulou go in to scout.

It would take a while to wait for Yao and the others to return, and Itami instructed the others to rest here and let everyone bring out portable dry food for dinner. In such places, the smell of food is masked by the smell of sulfur and does not spread, but this environment poses a challenge to the appetite.

However, considering what might happen after that, it is unknown when the next time you will be able to eat. Luckily, everyone in the room could understand the situation, and everyone had a nervous place where they could eat anywhere during meal time.

Leilai and Lori took out the Self-Defense Force's combat dry food H-type (beef curry/tuna salad/assorted eight treasures/rice) and simple heater (water-added) from their luggage. The Black Elves eat dried meat, dried fish, dried fruits, beans and other food brought from the valley, but they are full of interest in the way Lori and Leilai process and carry dry food. The moment Leilai added water to the bag, steam came out, and they were surprised that the food was heated up like that.

Du Jia, who was next to him, continued to fall asleep in a gentle breath.

Although Itami had been carrying her on his back, it was surprisingly light that Itami didn't feel tired. That being said, tight nerves can also cause fatigue. Itami's stomach seemed overwhelmed, and he tried to chew as slowly as he could.

"I should have let Durga eat something, too, but she'd be crying when she came along. ”

"It's so helpless—"

Laylay said as she brought a spoonful of curry to her mouth.

Just then, Yao returned with her companions.

"How?"

"Well, the cave is connected to the crater, and the rock wall there has a protruding platform where the lair is. Yanlong was not there, and went out. ”

"Great!"

After listening to Yao's report, Itami carried Dujia on his back.

Finally, it's time to head towards the cave. At this moment, everyone knew that they were going to infiltrate the enemy camp, and their nervous expressions invariably appeared, and their voices were significantly reduced.

"Then, Lori, I'll leave it to you!"

"Well, then I'll go to the crater and set up a sentry!"

Lori slapped the microphone and said, "Can you hear me?"

"The signal is good. Ah, what kind of communication rules does he care? Great, I hear you!"

Said goodbye to Lori at the entrance of the cave.

She carried Harubat and disappeared briskly across the crimson ridge, saying goodbye to Itami and the others into the cavern.

There is a fantastical space inside the cave.

The lava flows, cools and solidifies, and then new lava flows out and solidifies again, and so on and so forth, and the accumulation of layers is like a long staircase.

They are connected together and feel like the entrance to the temple. The walls are not a hard monolith, they are almost like wide curtains. Even if anyone wanted to repair this place as a temple, no one would question it. There are cloisters, high platforms, and even structures that look like altars. The power of nature must not be underestimated.

If a religious figure were brought here, he might decide to start a church here.
