This is by no means a beautiful big ship, and even the first impression that comes with it is a little tattered.

Its keel is made from the skeleton of an unknown giant creature, and with the hull of a ship made of old and new woods, it looks like a scarred old hunter.

The captain of the ship explained on the side, "As the main force against the Mineyama Dragon every year, the Mineyama Maru has always suffered the most attacks, and at the most serious time, even more than half of the hull of the ship was shattered.

If it weren't for the fact that the mysterious skeleton that makes up the keel was unusually strong, and we only used high-quality knot wood from Yuyun Village when we repaired it, it might have sunk into the sand of history long ago. ”

Not to mention the well-informed Gordon, even Hayatta, who has not traveled much, has heard of it.

It is a special wood with super high strength, which is only produced in the area of Yuyun Village in the Western Continent.

It can even be used to craft hunter weapons.

You must know that the materials of hunter weapons are generally alloy and monster bones, which are comparable to these materials, and the strength of the knot cloud wood can be seen.

However, Yuyun Village

Gordon hesitated to prepare his words, "Captain, I heard that it seems that the Jieyun Village has not been very peaceful lately. ”

The captain's face turned bitter, "You know about this, yes, there seems to be something wrong over there."

At the beginning of the year we placed an order over there, and in previous years, the timber would arrive at Loclac around mid-year, in July or August at the latest, but this year it was strange that it had not been delivered yet. ”

The mustache grown's face became serious, "In other words, the repair work of the dragon striking ship has not been completed yet?" ”

"Yes."

The captain of the ship frowned and said: "The other sand boats have been prepared, only the dragon striking boat is left, we are still discussing just now, what is the backup plan." ”

"For example, replace it with other wood, the kind used by ordinary sand boats, and make a few more layers?"

"Maybe you can also consider monster materials? The carapace and crust of the sand dragon will also feel suitable for the sand boat. ”

"What about the metal, the iron sheet and iron plate, the strength will not be bad."

"Metal can't work, metal is too heavy, and it will destroy the speed and balance of the dragon boat."

Several big brothers around the captain of the ship were gossiping.

"No way!"

Mustache oversaw their whimsy, "For countless years, dragon boats have only used knotted wood, proving that knotted wood is the most suitable material.

Facing the Fengshan Dragon is a major event related to the safety of Locklack, and it must not be improvised and sloppy! ”

The captain nodded his chin and approved the president's attitude, "That's what I thought, so more than three months ago, I wrote to my old friend in Barubare, asking him to help me collect the knot wood and transport it over urgently. ”

"That's right, if there's a problem, find a way to solve it!" The president twisted his beard, "So what? Haven't sent the timber over there in Barubare? ”

"I received a message from carrier pigeons two days ago that the camel caravan carrying the timber would arrive today, and we waited here for most of the day without seeing anyone, so we discussed a backup plan.

If the convoy doesn't show up in the evening, I'm going to let you know and ask you to send hunters to investigate. ”

"You don't have to wait until evening, just release the sand boat and explore the north."

President Mustache shows his decisive side as a businessman.

"Two days ago I had received a message that, at the speed of the camel caravans, they would not be more than sixty or seventy kilometers away from Locklac.

If they meet successfully, they will come back with the camel caravan, in case something happens to them.

Gordon, Hayata, could you please follow the sand boats, I'm a little worried that the convoy is in trouble. ”

"Okay, both of us are swordsmen, and we don't have anything to prepare, so we can set off at any time."

Gordon simply agreed, and Hayatta said it was okay.

"Bomb meow! Got a bomb meow? Bringing explosive bombs can also work in the bottom! The pork chop jumped to the side.

"That's what we don't need here."

The captain grinned and began to give orders, "Let the first team hang up the sails and prepare to go, you guys, go to the warehouse and help the kittens carry a few large barrels of bombs." ”

"First team! What about the people in the first team? Get up for Lao Tzu and get to work! ”

"Okay!"

The whole dock suddenly became lively.

The mustache grows very attentively, and helps Gordon and them gather some necessary supplies and tools in the sandy sea.

Water bladders, anti-sand towels, hot and cold drinks.

The men of the sand boat group were well-trained, and in just a few minutes, the two sand boats were ready for the trip, and the explosive bombs that the pork chops wanted were transported into the cabin.

Gordon, Hayatta, and Pork Chop boarded one of the sand boats, and the captain jumped up.

"I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he skillfully maneuvered with the sailors the small boat, which was no more than ten meters long.

Two sand boats were pushed down the slope of the dock into the sand sea.

The crew pulled the ropes, and the triangular sails printed with the sun motif were pulled up.

The hot wind of the sand sea suddenly blows the sails into the air, and the specially designed streamlined bottom of the ship slowly slides on the delicate sand surface like flowing water, and the sand boat gradually accelerates, and finally sps off on the sand sea.

This is the first time Hayatta has taken a sand boat, and it naturally feels very fresh.

The ride was almost the same as that of a surface boat, and she somewhat forgot that this was a sea of sand in the middle of a great desert.

Poking his head out of the side of the ship to take a deep breath of "moist air", he ended up inhaling a mouthful of sand.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Hayatta spat out the sand in embarrassment, and Gordon playfully handed over the sand towel.

With a red face, he took the face towel, and covered his mouth and nose with the face towel like Gordon, and his breathing became smoother.

"The little girl is coming to the desert for the first time, right?" The captain asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Hayatta nodded slightly, not recklessly.

"It's okay, there are not many opportunities to fight in the process of blocking the Fengshan Dragon, the main thing is to be bold, in the face of a hundred meters long, a huge monster like a mountain, you have to dare to rush to its back!"

Hayata's eyes curled when she was exposed outside her face scarf, "I guess I'm quite bold." ”

"Hahaha, that's good!"

Now that he had decided to accept Gordon and them, the captain's attitude became much kinder.

He smiled heroically, "In the next few days, I will teach you how to use the weapons on the sand boat and the dragon striking boat, and if you learn this, plus you are bold and careful, there will be no problem!" ”

While the sand boat was speeding away, it was on a small platform dozens of kilometers away from Locklac.

A transport team is huddled here.

The young convoy member said in frustration: "We have been trapped for almost two days, and we don't know when the Locklac side will be able to send someone to rescue. ”

The middle-aged captain glanced at him, "It is estimated that it will take two to three days, after all, according to the original plan, we arrived today, there was a small accident on the way, it is normal to be a day or two late, and it should be realized that something is wrong after a few days." ”

"Two or three days." Another member of the team sighed, "I can barely save some water and food, but I am afraid that the camels will be frightened and run off the rock platform."

Alas, we should have kept the last carrier pigeon, and not be as passive as we are now. ”

"It's okay! Everyone cheered up and survived the past few days. "The middle-aged captain tried to boost everyone's morale, but unfortunately it didn't work well.

"Meow—"

In the center of the rock platform, an extraordinarily petite Ailu, who seemed to be underage, was holding her head and trembling.

"I'm so scared of meow, I want to go home and meow."

(Brain pain, lie flat and go, I hope I won't be late tomorrow EMMM)

Ps.

The MH world has creatures such as camels, which appear in the official background art
