Chapter 535: Proximity and Purpose
The wild elves that survive in nature are basically very heartfelt creatures, as long as you are strong enough and full of embodyment, they will retreat from the difficulties, and exude great awe.
After Kaede Sato successfully repelled the notorious monkey monster horde with a few elves at hand, his fame suddenly spread like a storm in the elf habitat in the vicinity.
Therefore, Sato Kaede and his party went very smoothly in the next tracking process of Lanka, except for some more reckless wild elves who suddenly appeared and fled in a panic, all the way was unimpeded.
Moreover, when passing by the territory of some wild elf groups, they will also receive some small gifts to show kindness, and along the way, Sato Kaede has a lot of edible fruits in his space backpack.
Under the treatment of beautiful flowers, Wind Speed Dog quickly recovered from his injuries, and with his excellent sense of smell, he successfully took Sato Kaede and the others to the Sunflower Monster Forest where Lanka had stayed not long ago, and found the place where Lanka slept yesterday.
"Lord Sato, the fire in the camp is very new, there is still a little residual heat in the fire field, I don't think Lanka has been away for long, and, judging by the traces of the tent removal in the camp, it seems that he is still with another person."
After seeing Sato Kaede's strength with his own eyes again, Thomas has completely entered the identity of a strong soldier under Sato Kaede, he took the lead, searched carefully in the camp, and then said to Sato Kaede with a respectful face.
"You're right, we're getting closer and closer to the enemy now, wake up the spirits, we may meet the enemy at any time, and once the fight happens, your main task is to contain the other companion next to him as much as possible, can you do this?"
Sato Kaede also carefully surveyed the situation in the camp, and he came to the same conclusion as Thomas, and he nodded expressionlessly to Thomas, who had obviously changed his attitude for the better.
In fact, the reason why Sato Kaede kept Thomas was to a large extent to prevent the current variable, otherwise, this plan would indeed be as Thomas thought before, and he could complete it alone.
After all, the variables still happened, and Ranka now has one more person by his side, and the difficulty of the implementation of the plan has undoubtedly increased a lot, and Thomas, who was originally in the plan, suddenly became important.
If Kaede Sato wants to continue with the plan, he will have to let Thomas share some of the pressure for him.
"Promise to complete the mission, even if I die, I will never let another enemy interfere with you."
Hearing Sato Kaede's words and seeing the expression on Sato Kaede's face at this time, Thomas's face suddenly straightened, and he quickly nodded to Sato Kaede, and then replied in the affirmative.
Thomas was very apprehensive at this time, because he also knew that the variables brought about by having another person around Lanka were enormous, and if the success rate of the previous plan was seventy percent, then now it is not even half.
But thinking of the operation he had already participated in the siege of Lanka and the strength and potential shown by Sato Kaede, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to go all the way to the dark with Sato Kaede, and he had no way out.
"Very good, I will make a quick decision, you just need to hold on for a while, afterwards, no matter whether it is success or failure, I will return your things to you, if you win, the benefits are definitely indispensable to you."
Sato Kaede heard Thomas's affirmative reply, and a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he patted Thomas on the shoulder with his hand, and promised solemnly with a solemn face.
When Sato Kaede and Thomas arrived at the camp where Lanka was camping yesterday, Lanka and Noda Yousuke had already arrived in the Diamond Canyon, dozens of kilometers away, on the Ancient Giant Fly and Duduli respectively.
A large river runs through a long canyon, but the water is unusually muddy with a large amount of sediment, and although the river flows through it, it is difficult to see a trace of green on the banks of the towering canyon.
The reason why Diamond Canyon is so green and rare is largely because of the rich mineral resources in the canyon.
In fact, in addition to a large open-pit diamond mine, Diamond Canyon is also home to many large open-pit deposits such as iron, copper, gold, silver, tungsten and gold.
There is no doubt that such a place with a lot of mineral resources will definitely attract a large number of elves who feed on various ores.
In this large diamond canyon, there are six large elf groups, including the Great Rock Snake, Coco Dora, Little Fist Stone, Stone Ball and Iron Rhinoceros.
In order to eat delicious food, these wild rock elves naturally have to dig up a large number of open-pit deposits in Diamond Canyon, which has caused an ecological environment with sparse vegetation and serious soil erosion.
Lanka chose this place for three reasons:
The first is to find iron ore for the ace elf Boscodora in his hand.
Bosco Dora's main food is iron ore, which they can ingest to temper and repair damaged steel armor, so as to further improve the defense of the steel armor on their body, and at the same time, they can also use iron to gradually strengthen their own body.
The high content of iron ore is Bosco Dora's favorite food, and if they don't eat it for several days, their already bad temper will be even worse.
Naturally, Lanka didn't want his ace elf to have trouble with him, so he had to come to such a pothole-ridden and unsightly place to find iron ore in Boskodora.
The second is to look for beautiful diamonds.
The biggest reason why Lanka will change from a boy to a daughter is naturally because of his thoughts, he used to be a man with a woman's heart.
As a result, he is also obsessed with gemstones, and he learns from some of the base's Team Rocket veterans that someone has brought back the world's rarest pink diamonds from Diamond Canyon.
Pink was Lanka's favorite color, and naturally, he had a strong desire for pink diamonds, especially those as sparkling as large pink diamonds.
The third is to find Yukira, a quasi-divine beast.
Diamond Canyon, with its abundant mineral resources, is undoubtedly a paradise for countless rock elves, so it is natural that elves like Banjira who like to devour all kinds of rare ores are also attracted to it.
In fact, quite a few veterans of Team Rocket who have come to Diamond Canyon have found traces of the Kira here, but they have been missed for various reasons.
Of course, this missed event is a good thing for many Rocket veterans, as most of those who don't miss out are already buried under a thick layer of mud and sand.
Lanka is undoubtedly a very ambitious person, he is very eager for a quasi-divine beast like Yukira, if he has the opportunity, even if he knows that his life is in danger, he dares to try it.
Iron ore is one of the most abundant mineral resources in Diamond Canyon, so when Lanka and Noda entered Diamond Canyon, they quickly found an open-pit iron ore mine.
Today, however, the open-pit iron ore mine is now occupied by a small group of Cocodora tribes, who are very unwelcoming to the strangers of Lanka and Noda Yusuke.
"Come out, Bosco Dora, your favorite iron ore is right in front of you, go eat as much as you want."
Unfazed by the unwelcome attitude of the Cocodora tribe, Lanka directly released the Coscodora and gave him free reins.
"Roar!!
As soon as Boss Dora smelled the familiar smell of iron coming from the iron mines, he immediately screamed excitedly, but when he saw the people in front of him who were showing an unwelcome attitude towards him, his eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness.
In the next second, Boskodora began to kill in the open-pit iron mine like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
