4. The scenery on the back of the molten mountain dragon
On the shoreline of the New World, in a grove path of cliffs, Fichte dropped the branches of leaves and sticks on his head and body, and spat at the pterosaur carcass on the ground.
There was also a dagger stuck in the head of the wing dragon, which was the boar king's fanged dagger that he carried with him.
"Undomesticated pterosaurs are dangerous......"
Just now he was almost thrown off the cliff because of the pterodactyl riot, and if he fell from that height, he would be seriously injured and die.
At the end of the trail is a steep cliff hundreds of meters high, where you can clearly hear the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff, and you can see the volcano with billowing smoke at the end of the sea, and dense black dots swirling around the volcano.
It's coming, it's coming soon!
Fichte watched the dawn on the horizon and prayed inwardly for the two men on the dragon's back.
Then he turned and disappeared into the edge of the cliff, into the forest.
In a completely unfamiliar place, gathering information and keeping yourself safe are paramount, and this artificially chopped path in front of him is undoubtedly the safest place here, and there may be some information left by his predecessors to help him understand this place.
A good hunter is never to be taken lightly, though! Before you go on your quest, it's important to prepare the necessary supplies to keep your quest running smoothly, so the first thing to do is to gather food!
Fichte pulled the dagger out of the pterodactyl's head, expertly peeled off useful materials such as skin, claws, and beaks, and removed improvised grills and various condiments from his bag—Fichte had always considered himself a barbecue hunter, so what he contained in his bag was different from that of other people.
For example, he always has more spices than medicines and props.
If the hunt wasn't for the barbecue, it would be pointless.
In the dense forest, there is a unique supporting small tone of barbecue, light and melodious~

"Is anyone there?"
"Anyone?"
In the darkness, Alyssa faintly heard someone shouting, "Auditory hallucinations? She struggled to get up, and finally opened her eyes.
"Is anyone there?"
The voice came again, and Alyssa was sure that this time it was not an auditory hallucination, but someone was actually calling for help! Reluctantly stood up, clutching his dizzy head, and began to look around.
The shimmering red magma illuminated the black rock wall, and the body could clearly feel the scorching breath around him and the thrust generated by the rapid movement of the ground beneath his feet.
There is a mountain on one side and the sea on the other, I don't know what place it is, in short, it can't be a boat.
Alyssa looked in the direction of the cries for help - it was a rock wall more than four meters high, and it was unknown what would be on top of it, but since someone was shouting loudly, it was probably not dangerous.
Check it out and find out what this place is.
Alyssa relaxed her muscles and bones a little on the spot, jumped up with her right hand, and slammed her right hand to clasp a bulge of the rock wall, and the catapult on her left arm shot a hook claw, fixed near the top, and then released the rock wall with her right hand to hold the steel cable on the catapult, and then pressed the button to shrink the hook claw, kicked the wall under her feet, and the whole person flew up, turned over, and stood firmly on the ground.
It's still flat ground on top.
"Hey! It's you, and you're too! The girl standing not far away immediately spotted Alyssa and waved at her excitedly.
It turned out to be her partner.
Alyssa walked over quickly, "Are you alright?" ”
"Unscathed!" The girl slapped her non-existent breasts, and her freckle face flashed with excitement.
Immediately, she pointed to the top with an excited expression and said, "Look, partner, our ship is there!" ”
Alyssa followed her direction, her puzzled expression suddenly turning to shock.
I saw a huge wooden boat stuck right above the two of them, shadows falling down, rubble falling from time to time with the movement of the ancient dragon under them, and the giant ship seemed to be as if it could be pressed down at any time, which was terrifying!
"It's dangerous here, let's get out of here first!" The freckled girl beckoned to Alyssa to follow her.
"Roar——!"
At this moment, only a heaven-shattering dragon roar was heard, and the entire volcanic island shook violently.
It's the Molten Mountain Dragon! Here's its back!
Is it going to stand up?!
Alyssa's heart raced.
And with the movement of the molten mountain dragon, the boat above the two of them also trembled and showed signs of falling off.
Finally, the wooden boat fell with a "boom", and after bouncing twice on the lower rock shell, it was shaken by the molten mountain dragon and fell into the sea.
The shaking did not stop, and countless boulders rolled down and smashed all around, and many of them splashed in all directions with a lot of magma that had not yet cooled.
The two girls lay on their stomachs in place and were not hit by falling objects, and they did not dare to move.
Molten Mountain Dragon, stand up!
The two girls lying on the ground looked at the molten mountain dragon standing up in amazement, even though the place where they were close to the middle of the molten mountain dragon's back, but when they looked up, all they saw was the towering volcanic rock - the body of the ancient dragon hundreds of meters high, obscuring the starlight of the entire night sky!
The scorching red light attracted the brownish-gray pterodactyl hordes, which screamed and circled around the top of the molten dragon's head and neck.
What to do?
The road ahead had turned into a steep cliff because of the Molten Mountain Dragon's standing, and suddenly there was no way out.
Alyssa, who was experiencing this situation for the first time, was a little at a loss.
As a novice who had never hunted before, or even assisted in hunting, the basic theoretical knowledge in her head was simply not enough for her to cope with the situation in front of her. Her teacher taught her how to deal with normal dragons and monsters, but not how to escape from the natural disasters caused by ancient dragons!
Do you just stay on the back of the molten mountain dragon and take it wherever you want?
"Partner, look here!" The freckled girl ran to a relatively flat rock wall, and when the molten dragon changed from its four-legged form to its two-legged form, the two of them were very lucky not to fold up because the molten dragon stood up, crushing them into meatloaf, and did not fall from a high place due to the change in slope.
And the rock wall in front of the two of them happened to be able to lead all the way to a high place - on the back of the molten mountain dragon's neck, there were countless pterosaurs hovering on it, as long as the two of them used the hook claws of the catapult and some climbing skills, they could climb it. Then, with a few tricks, you can use the Pterodactyl to break away from the Molten Mountain Dragon and travel to the New World just a stone's throw away!
"Come on! Aibo! Let's go up! The freckled girl was eager to try and climbed the rock wall first.
Looking at the petite figure that kept rising, Alyssa seemed to have found the backbone for a moment, and did not speak, but silently climbed up, with a twinkle in her eyes. She climbed on top of her partner and used her body to shield her from falling rocks and splashing lava.
Perhaps that's why the elders arranged for them to be partners.
Alyssa has the physical qualities of a top hunter, but lacks assertiveness. And her partner is obviously a very assertive person, and has an extraordinary curiosity and desire to learn, which can drive their team to constantly explore the unknown.
And this is exactly the quality that the "recommendation group" needs, the pursuit of the unknown, and continuous exploration.
···
"Whew-whew-"
Near the top, Alyssa stopped, gasped hard, and fixed the hook claw in her left hand, allowing her right hand to relax in pain, and waited for her partner behind her to follow.
The freckled girl with Alyssa in front of her didn't feel very tired at this time, but at this time she also knew that her partner must be very hard, so she stopped behind Alyssa and didn't speak.
Pull the viewing glass off your head and switch lenses to look at the situation above.
Apart from the herds of pterosaurs and falling rocks, no other dangers were found.
"Partner, let's go up." Alyssa rested for a moment, ready to climb up in one go.
"Aibo, are you really okay? Let's take a break again······" The girl looked at her with some concern, and Alyssa looked a little pale at this time, her short blond hair was dusty, and she looked obviously tired.
Alyssa pursed her lips stubbornly, "No, I'm fine now." As she spoke, like a nimble ape, she began to climb up at a rapid pace.
Facing the scattered rubble, the two quickly climbed onto the large platform on the back of the molten mountain dragon.
As high as the volcano on the back of the molten dragon is, the platform on its back is as wide as it stands. From time to time, orange-red lava jumped and exploded from the cracks in the rock shell, knocking down the low-flying pterosaurs, but more pterosaurs continued to hover above the molten dragons.
The two people standing on the back of the molten mountain dragon were able to clearly see the surrounding scene at this time.
In front of them, there was still a rock crust of the head of the molten mountain dragon at a height of hundreds of meters, and from the side, you could see the dark shadows of the New World getting closer and closer. Behind them, there was the endless ocean, and the accompanying fleet was long gone.
They must rush to the New World's investigation team base as soon as possible, or the two of their recommendation teams should be put on the death list!
The recommendation group that has already died heroically before approaching the New World is not a good reputation.
What now?
Alyssa looked at her partner again, asking for some hints from her.
The freckled girl wiped her sweat, and the burning sensation slowly began to fill every inch of her skin.
She was startled, glanced at Alyssa, and quickly said: "Aibo, we don't have much time, let's go now, let's go to the top, the top, where the pterosaur will not be blocked, we can directly control it to fly to the New World!" ”
Alyssa nodded, and crawled straight to the top.

“he~tui”
A dark figure poked its head out of the pool of sewage and gently spat out a mouthful of sewage, and not far in front of him, a terrifying beast of more than fifteen meters held down a herbivorous dragon several meters long with its sturdy hind paws, and let out a terrifying roar.
"Ang~!"
The terrifying beast was covered in dark pink scales, its small eyes glowing with a vicious light, and its nostrils spewing smoke and heat. The back is covered with a layer of purple bristles that extend to the tail. Its head occupies nearly one-fifth of its entire body, its upper and lower jaws are covered with sharp teeth, and its lower jaws are covered with a layer of large spines, as if covered with an exoskeleton, and its masseter muscles are so strong that they can bite through a herbivorous dragon almost the same width as it is in one bite. The larynx has a large bulge that makes its neck as thick as its head, and appears to be a special organ. The forelimbs are small, but the hind limbs are extremely thick, the calves are thicker than the waist of a strong man, and each hind paw has three claw blades as sharp as steel knives, allowing it to easily pierce the outer skin and muscles of the herbivorous dragon, and pierce through the internal organs.
The tail occupies a third of the entire body, and its role and danger speak for themselves.
This is a beast dragon species, an extremely terrifying killing machine, with the defensive effect of its current armor, as long as it is scratched even once, it will be at least seriously injured!
Fichte made a judgment.
The beast stood in his way to the stronghold, and whether it was for the sake of his safety in the future or for the sake of others, he had more than enough reason to hunt it!
However, the preparation was not sufficient, Fichte's right hand lightly pressed on the sword behind his back, and his obsidian eyes flashed with light······
