5. First sight of the New World

"Aibo, do you see that pterodactyl? That's what we're aiming for! ”

A flash of sky light lit up from the front, and the red sun slowly rose into the sky, and the soft light was gradually passing through the obstruction of the new continent, projecting brighter and brighter light on the molten mountain dragon.

Dawn is just around the corner!

With great effort, the two girls on the back of the molten mountain dragon finally climbed onto the top of the molten mountain dragon's head, where they could clearly feel the strong tremor generated by each step of the giant ancient dragon, and the loose stones rolled down every moment.

The temperature on the surface of the molten mountain dragon's body was extremely high, and the water in the bodies of the two of them was rapidly lost, and their physical strength dropped sharply! The girl had to hold on to the rocks beside her to stand firmly, and Alyssa's calves began to tremble involuntarily.

There's no time left!

They quickly locked onto their target, a pterosaur flying in the direction of a new continent.

Alyssa didn't hesitate, nodded at her partner, and strode forward.

The place where they were was was almost the highest, and beyond that was where the rock shell and the back of the dragon's neck met, and from here to the sharp corners of the dragon's nose, as long as the dragon didn't shake its head, it was a smooth downhill!

With a gamble and a good calculation of the time it takes for the pterosaur to pass and the time it will arrive, Alyssa will be able to grab the pterodactyl's claw with her hook and control it!

That moment is now!

The wind whistled in the girl's ears, the scorching and sturdy purple-red dragon scales beneath her feet, and in front of her were the horns of the hot molten mountain dragon that shimmered red, and the pterodactyl that happened to pass by!

Now is the time!

Alyssa slid sideways, swapped the contact surface for a less frictional sliding leather armor, slid up a smooth sharp corner with the help of downward impact acceleration, and then jumped!

The girl and the dazed pterodactyl staggered by!

“Aibo!” The partner who was not far behind him screamed.

Instead of panicking, Alyssa turned in mid-air, and at the same time, the hook on her left arm catapulted out, firmly wrapped around the pterodactyl's claws.

"Jump!" Alyssa shouted.

The freckled girl hurriedly jumped forward, but the distance was not enough, and she danced in the air in a panic.

Fortunately, Alyssa was quick to hold the pterodactyl and hold her partner's hand with the other hand, and the two swung in the air in half a circle. The weight of the two girls pulled the pterodactyl so hard that it almost fell from mid-air! The pterosaur let out a wail and flapped its wings vigorously, barely holding on.

The two of them and a dragon crossed a strange arc in the air, narrowly passing under the neck of the molten mountain dragon's bearded body. The Molten Mountain Dragon, which was thousands of meters in size, didn't care much about the two creatures that had left its back, and still moved straight towards its goal, approaching the edge of the bay of the New World step by step.

The two girls drove the pterodactyl like this, staggering forward.

···

The huge molten mountain dragon slowly advanced towards the new continent step by step behind him, and above the sky, the face of the new continent slowly unfolded in front of the eyes of the two fledgling girls.

"Wow~! Newland!!! Out of danger, the two of them were deeply shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them!

Under the rising red sun, the mountains along the coast of the New World rose into the sky, and even the thousand-meter-high molten mountain dragon was a little inferior in the face of nature's magnificent natural dangers!

Thousands of meters of peaks one after another, the deeper the mountains are the more upright and precipitous, and a towering ancient tree that can't see the end, coiling dozens of mountains, branches and roots spread all over the mountain plains, verdant and withered yellow intertwined into a huge crown that rises to the sky!

On the plain between the rocky branches, herbivores forage quietly, and above this high altitude it seems like tiny bean grains, and on the top of the ancient tree, there is occasionally a faint dragon roar, as if swearing ownership of the territory.

The girl's partner's reddened little face almost covered the freckles, and the starry eyes looked around excitedly, if it wasn't in the air, maybe she would have cheered and was going to run up to hug the herbivorous dragon and sing happily.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

The two people hanging on the legs of the pterosaur suddenly felt a sense of falling, and then the pterosaur began to fall down while flapping its wings - its strength was exhausted!

The two of them were like arrows off the string, rushing diagonally into a tall and dense woods.

Alyssa's branches whipped and swung around, and the sound of crackling branches and breaking branches was heard in her ears, and the screams of the maiden in pain.

Suddenly, Alyssa felt something hit her right hand, and instantly paralyzed and lost consciousness, and she heard her partner scream, rolling and falling, and she couldn't help but let go of her hook claw······

Alyssa, who hugged her body, was already ready to fall and be injured, but she didn't expect her body to come into close contact with the ground in just a moment - it seems that it is not high!

Alyssa stood up, her eyes filled with the joy of the rest of her life.

She looked at the cliff outside the woods behind her, if they had fallen a little earlier, they might not have survived.

"Boom-" "Boom-"

Farther away, the back of the molten mountain dragon gradually disappeared into the corner of the cliff, and only one roar after another could be heard, which was the footsteps of the molten mountain dragon and the sound of the sea crashing against the shore.

"Haha, Aibo, we're fine~" The freckled girl shouted excitedly, "Look at that, there's a road there!" As he spoke, he ran away recklessly.

"Wait—" Alyssa held out her hand to her back, but she could only hang down helplessly, sighing, and keeping up with her partner who was overly curious and lacked a sense of crisis.

From the edge of the cliff, I walked along this path that seemed to be artificially hewn, but it was only thirty steps, and after turning a corner, I came to a small clearing. In the center of the clearing stood a small orange tent, and the surrounding trees had been cut down, leaving only the stumps in place, and near the cliff were large grills and earthen ovens and stoves, which looked to be some years old.

It is believed that the people of the previous investigation teams have chosen a small camp here, which means that as long as they do not encounter large dragons, it can be said that it is almost completely safe. Because the first principle for hunters to set up camps is safety.

It's just that for some reason, this camp seems to be abandoned.

Alyssa looked at the other end of the trail, which was narrowly flanked by stone walls, but it also prevented large dragons from breaking through.

"Aibo, come and see what I found!" The small tent was suddenly opened, and a man sprang out of it. The partner waved a thick book in his hand, and ran over excitedly, "Look at it!" ”

"It's a map!" She stood still in front of Alyssa, and turned the first page of the book, half a foot square, almost ninety percent of the pages were blank, only between the lower left corner and the lower right corner, there was a simple stick figure, and it was easy to judge that this was a map with the knowledge of the two of them.

"It's just that it's missing a lot, as if it was left here on purpose······"

"I guess it's to show the way for others who strayed into here?" Alyssa was thoughtful, she pointed to a sketch of a small triangular tent in the lower left corner, "This should be our location, right?" This tent, and the cliffs behind······ It looks like there's a road out there leading to the sea. ”

"This is the base of the investigation we're heading to!" The girl's partner clicked on the location of the large gate in the lower right corner.

"Hmmm······"

Alyssa looked at the large blank space in the middle with only simple terrain drawn and no other information, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I didn't see too clearly in the air because of the light before, and I don't know how many crises are hidden in it.

"Aibo, without further ado, let's go now!"

The two of them then spent a lot of time in the tent and found a lot of supplies, although the taste of the recovery medicine in the New World was also ridiculously bad, but it finally had some replenishment of physical strength.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, even if there was any danger, they were able to deal with it.

It's time to go.

The freckled girl somewhere found a strap, tied the atlas to her waist, and jumped out of the "safe area".

"Aibo, you see, there are a lot of different kinds of material recorded in this book!"

"And critters and Bestiary! Wow, so cute! ”

Along the way, he kicked and stomped, looking east and west, holding a handful of herbs in one hand and a handful of blue mushrooms in the other.

"Aha, it's a Wandering Rabbit! This is the little animal of the New World in the illustrated book! ”

The girl pointed to the little brown-gray rabbit that emerged from the grass not far away, with ears almost as long as her body, and said excitedly to Elisa.

Alyssa scratched her head in annoyance, her partner seemed to be a little ...... Too lively?

"Huh? Aibo, come here, I've found my way! The freckled girl who had walked in front suddenly turned and ran back, took her hand, and ran towards a corner.

Rounding the bend and climbing over a boulder blocking the way, you see a fork in the road.

One of the paths is blocked by vines and earth and rock, while on the other side is a passage covered by dense tropical trees and a cave entrance.

From this side, you can clearly see a clear blue sky beyond the entrance of the cave, with the occasional white cloud drifting by.

Alyssa was dragged out by her.

The magnificent sight of the New World suddenly burst into Alyssa's eyes:

One of the branches of the huge ancient tree that wants to be higher than the sky is in front of you, and the trunk and rhizome with a diameter of more than ten meters divide the coastline in half, and between the arches that are tens of meters high, countless boulders are stacked up to build a high wall, blocking the original road on the map.

A plain is enclosed between the branches of several ancient trees.

In the plains of the pastures there is a clear water that flows slowly from the upper reaches into the ocean, where herds of herbivorous dragons frolic in it, and occasionally the small trees that grow are verdant and shining with life in the sun. Black and red birds hover between herbivorous dragons and mizusawa and haunting rabbits wander east through the grass······

Everything was so quiet and peaceful.

"Ah~ The herbivorous dragons of the New World are also just as tame~"

The partner couldn't wait to rush to the plain to observe.

"The red bird is Taoyuan Township, and the black bird is the abomination bird, ah! That's the pink guide rabbit! I really want to hug it~"

Alyssa followed her partner all the way, her eyes also shining with joy.

As a girl, there is always no resistance to cute little animals.

"Huh? Aibo, the guide worm seems to have a reaction······"

When the two of them passed by a clearing, the guide worms in the guide insect cage around their waists suddenly flew out in a swarm and stopped on a dew-stained flower.

Guide bugs are a special kind of bug found by hunters that can record the breath information of many things. When there is no threat around, the guide worm will stay on the traces left by large monsters, and generate green or blue pigments depending on the danger of the monsters, and hunters rely on them to collect and analyze the traces of monsters. When a threat approaches, the guide worms quickly turn from green to yellow and then red, and then hide in the cage, which is often used by hunters to avoid danger.

It will also stay in some special plants and materials.

At this time, the guide insect has such a reaction, which proves that this flower should be a material, and maybe there will be some special use.

Alyssa stretched out her hand and touched it lightly, and a cloud of turquoise night droplets suddenly flew away!
