Now that they've chosen the way up, let's go to the next one.

Fichte put away his map and slid down the slope.

"It depends, there should be a swamp down here."

Fichte nimbly dodged the fat, simple-minded dorsal dragons, resisted the urge to hunt one that had been addicted to the mouth, and plunged headlong into the swamp with abundant water and grass.

It is said to be a swamp, but in fact it is only a zone at the junction of dry land and swamp, not far away is still weathered rocks, some dorsal dragons are in the cave, I don't know what they are doing, not far from the cave, you can also see the sneaky figure of scratching birds.

In the rugged valley, there are unexpectedly abundant aquatic plants, and countless back-shelled dragons frolic at the water's edge, grazing leisurely.

The water discharged from the dry land flows down the ditches to form this well-fed plain, and both herbivorous and carnivorous dragons use it as a place to get food.

Fichte crouched in the tall grass overhead, moving cautiously, keeping an eye on his surroundings. According to the data, although this is not a swamp, it is more dangerous than a swamp!

Because many of them, whether they are swamp monsters or dryland monsters, regard this plain as their hunting ground, and every strange intruder will be subjected to their ferocious expulsion attack.

“！！！”

A loud dragon roar spread throughout the field, and the group of backshell dragons panicked and fled in all directions.

Fichte hurriedly hid his body in the wilderness, on the side of a white boulder nearly two meters high.

At the moment when he hid under the rock, the howling wind crushed the green grass on both sides to the ground!

I saw a huge gray-green figure, swooping down from the sky!

The huge figure was nearly twenty meters long and wingspan, covered in hideous gray-green scales, and had long sharp spines on its tail.

The moment the giant beast approached the ground, the giant claws that were even more terrifying than steel slammed down on the back of the dragon group on the ground, and launched a brazen attack!

Under the blow, a dorsal shell dragon more than five meters long fell with a scream.

The beast's claws clasped the back shell dragon like steel nails into the wall, and the giant beast folded its wings, lowered its head to reveal its sharp beak and sharp teeth, and devoured the delicious tender flesh under the shell of the back shell.

"It's a wyvern!" Queen of Land' - Female Fire Dragon! ”

Fichte poked his head out from behind the rock, his sharp eyes fixed on the green beast in front of him, his face solemn.

When he was near East Doruma in the Old World, Fichte became famous in East Doruma City by independently hunting a female fire dragon, which shows that the strength of this big guy should not be underestimated!

"I didn't expect to meet my old rival when I came to the New World. However, since there is a female fire dragon in the New World, there must be a male fire dragon, the 'King of the Air'......"

The female fire dragon is a medium-sized wyvern species that lives in temperate regions, and is a carnivorous wyvern in a high ecological position.

Unlike male dragons, who fly for long periods of time, female dragons usually move on the ground and have very strong hind legs. Therefore, the female fire dragon can not only sneak up from mid-air to hunt like the male fire dragon, but also hunt down prey on the ground.

Probably because of her long-term hunting on the ground, in order to hide herself in the bushes, the scale armor of the female fire dragon turned green; In order to protect herself, the venom glands of the female fiery dragon are much more developed than the male, and the venom secreted by the venom glands on the back and tail can flow out from the hollow dorsal and caudal spines, which can effectively deal with various threats.

However, secreting venom consumes a lot of stamina just like spitting fire, so female dragons are more likely to use ramming and biting to drive away intruders, and only use fire and venom if they don't work.

Female fire dragons can survive in almost any area, but prefer to nest in areas where temperatures are stable and average.

In other words, the climate in this large anthill wasteland should be very stable and hardly change.

"This guy is blocking my way!" Fichte slowly took the brand-new Kataku-Hand Sword behind him in his hand.

After hunting a large number of poisonous demon birds, Fichte also harvested a lot of materials. This has to mention the outrageous speed of the processing house, and on the day the material was provided, in less than an afternoon, the group of iron-striking maniacs handed over the brand-new piece sword to Fichte.

The pair of swords and shields embedded with bright green feathers gave Fichte great confidence in their solid and reliable hand.

"With the strength of this shield, it can resist the female fire dragon head-on at least four times with its flame breath! It's a pity that I didn't bring enough antidote this time, so I started fighting directly, and the risk was still greater. ”

Just as Fichte was struggling, he saw the female fire dragon spread her wings, hovering into the sky, and quickly disappeared behind the weathered rock in the distance.

"Forget it, the crisis is over, then continue to move forward according to the original plan."

Fichte put away his weapon, re-submerged into the field, and waded on.

...

"Your Highness the editor who is struggling, you are really handsome!"

The people on the ramp were giggling and laughing, and there was no nervousness or fear of the danger that might arise at any time in this wilderness.

"Oh, don't say that, I'm embarrassed~" Kelly smiled, looking at Alyssa's eyes full of pride and "Look at Aibo, I'll just say I'm handsome~!" ”

"Uh-huh, yes, yes." Alyssa said perfunctorily.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she ran forward quickly.

"Eh, Aibo, where are you going?"

"I'll go ahead and find my way!"

"Oh! It turned out to be a vein! The hat scholar said, "Your Highness the editor doesn't have to worry, His Highness the Hunter should have discovered the unique ore veins of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, and if you mine it, you may be able to harvest some special ores!" ”

"Well... Eh, senior scholars, there's bugs over there! Is that a beetle? ”

"Of course, there are more drought-tolerant creatures here."

"Plants are also hard-shelled, which prevents the fruit from drying out due to water loss."

“......”

The wooden cart goes up a steep slope.

Alyssa mined some earthy yellow crystals in a vein on the slope, which are said to be the unique ore material of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, called "Earth Crystals", which contains very rich energy. Alyssa could feel the heavy fluctuations in it.

Further up, there is a weathered cave through which a steep slope passes.

The interior of this weathered cavern is littered with beetle-like creatures and crustaceans, as well as yellow ant-nest lizards and web-building spiders climbing on the rock faces.

Alyssa reached out and pulled a blue bitter worm from the rock and placed it in the sac. This insect has a special harmony and can be blended with many kinds of herbs to form a new effect of medicine.

On the surrounding rock faces, several bright yellow beetles moved slowly. That's the Light Bug, which can be used to make a "Projector Flashbang", a very useful item against Wyverns, which can temporarily blind monsters to create warplanes.

"Finally climbed up! Whew, take a break......"

While Alyssa was wandering around collecting materials, the four men pushing the cart finally climbed to the highest point of the cave.

After resting for a while, Alyssa, who was looking for materials on the surrounding rock walls, heard Kelly's call: "Aibo, come and see!" ”

"Hey, it's coming!" Alyssa dropped a sleek cactus in her hand and slid down the vine down the rock wall.

"Behold, the great anthill!" Looking in the direction Kelly pointed, beyond the cliff, on the sand several kilometers away, a huge ant mound hundreds of meters high stood, and the yellow sand rolled with the heat wave.

Against the backdrop of the dusky sandy rocks and dead old trees, the big anthill looks even taller and more imposing!

"No wonder it's called the Great Ant Mound Wasteland!" Alyssa sighed in her heart.

"That's where the traces are~" The spectacle scholar sighed, "There's still a long way to go." ”

"Aha! Then let's move on! Kelly was immediately energized.

"Eh! Your Highness the Editor, spare us this old bone~"

"Let the old man take a breath first......"

Continue on, follow the road in the cave, turn a corner, and start walking downhill, and the speed of travel is much faster than uphill.

“！！！”

Just as everyone was about to reach the end of the ramp, a loud dragon roar was heard in front of them.

At the end of the slope was a small forest in the Great Anthill Wasteland, adjacent to the waterfall pool they had passed by, but they had chosen to take a long detour because of the wooden cart.

The three scholars who heard the dragon's roar panicked.

The hat scholar's tone trembled a little: "The voice just now, is it ......?"

"Everyone, be careful!" Kelly hurriedly pulled the sliding frame back, and then shouted to Alyssa, "Partner! Please check it out! ”

Alyssa nodded, and rushed down the slope first.

Before he could take two steps, he saw a huge black shadow descending from the sky, and the huge wings blew a strong wind, blowing Alyssa's steps a little unsteadily.

"Wow! It's a female fire dragon!! The masked scholar shouted in a panic, and the three of them panicked and hid behind the wooden cart.

"The Queen of Land has appeared! This is terrible! ”

Theresa had a little fear in her big eyes, and she couldn't help but think of what happened in the dense forest on the outskirts of East Doruma as she looked at the female fire dragon that swept overhead and stayed in the dense forest in front of her.

The long-lost fear looms over me again!

What to do? Who's going to save me? Fichte seniors!

Several people hid behind the wooden cart and whispered.

"You all get it, right? Now there is only one choice......"

"Just run away from !!"

"Let's get through here!"

At the critical moment, Kelly was still in a hurry, "As long as you use the projector to make a sound, you may be able to attract it to a place far away from here!" Aibo, it's up to you! ”

Alyssa's heart is shocked!

Yes, there are five people in my group, only she is a hunter, and the others are all old scholars and editors who are helpless, and there is no way to deal with this terrible female fire dragon!

It's just her, and it can only be her!

She's not the little girl she used to be anymore, she's a qualified hunter now!

Alyssa clenched her fists, took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground and rushed out......
