Chapter 237: Rushing Out of the Ground
Seeing Hayata's lack of knowledge of the desert environment, the captain of the ship took advantage of the time to search and rush to "make up for the lesson" for the former.
"On the north side of the desert, the activity range of the Barubare Guild has more Gobi and rocky beaches, rough sand and gravel, oases and rocky mountains can be seen from time to time, and it will be relatively convenient to walk.
However, on the south side of the desert, the sand sea is basically full of fine sand, and people can walk on it, but not to mention the physical consumption, there may be danger when encountering quicksand due to bad luck, so the vicinity basically relies on sand boat activities. ”
Gordon added, "Considering the complex terrain in the desert, apart from expensive airships, camel caravans are the most flexible mode of transportation.
The members of the caravan will use ropes to connect the camels to themselves so that they do not get stuck in quicksand.
But the disadvantage is that the travel speed is relatively slow, and if there is no hunter escort, it is easier to be attacked by monsters. ”
Hayatta listened attentively.
This knowledge is difficult to find in books, and it is usually only possible to learn about it when you go to the local area.
The sand boat twisted forward.
From time to time, the captain of the ship took out his binoculars and looked around, thanks to the flat terrain of the sand sea and the dry weather environment, the visible distance was quite long.
As time passed, his face became more and more gloomy, and he had no heart to lecture Hayata.
"The convoy must have had an accident." The captain of the ship said in a deep voice: "In two days, it's time to climb here, and I haven't seen their shadows yet, it's not normal." ”
He shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the crew of another sand boat dozens of meters away.
The captain of the ship made a few gestures, and the two sand boats suddenly widened their distance and scattered the search.
"What monsters are around here?" Gordon skipped the step of suspicion and speculation, and directly planned on the premise that the convoy was attacked by monsters.
The captain of the ship also ignored the possibility of a move by the Desert Bandits.
The convoy was transporting timber, not a precious cargo, and with the presence of sand boat regiments and walled guerrillas, the desert rats did not dare to roam around Locklac.
"There are a lot, the number of yellow dragons and salons is the largest, earth sand dragons, sand beaver beasts, and lurking dragons are more common, and powerful guys have horned dragons, boom dragons, slaying dragons, and sometimes female fire dragons.
It is said that there have been encounters with snow lions and subspecies of shadow spiders, but they are rare, and I have never seen them. ”
Gordon frowned as he heard this, he didn't know that there were so many types of large monsters in the sea of sand.
There are a few of them that he has a headache when he encounters them, and if the convoy really encounters those guys, it can basically be said that he is dead.
"We can only pray that their luck is not so bad."
The atmosphere on the sand boat was terrifyingly heavy, and the disappearance of the convoy meant that not only the members of the convoy were in deep crisis.
Without the loss of the Yunyun Wood transferred from Barubare, it is impossible to repair the dragon striking ship to the best condition, which may have a serious impact on the subsequent Fengshan Dragon Blocking Operation.
In the worst case, the interception fails, and the Peaks Dragon strikes Locklack.
Gordon didn't dare to think of such a scene.
"Boom, pop!"
A few kilometers away in the sky, a spark suddenly exploded.
The captain of the ship perked up, "It's a signal from another sand boat, they have found it, turn around!" Spread the word! Fill me with sails! ”
The helmsman at the stern pulled the rudder paddle hard, and the sand boat tilted in the direction of the flare.
Grabbing the side of the ship to stabilize their bodies, Gordon and Hayatta glanced at them, ready to enter the battle at any moment.
The sand boat is at a high speed.
At high speed, when encountering raised sand waves, it will leap up, and the pork chop was almost thrown out if he didn't pay attention, but fortunately, Gordon was quick and grabbed its tail and carried it back.
After only a few minutes, they approached the sand boat that gave the signal.
To their dismay, the sand boat had capsized, and the two crew members were struggling to move the hull in an attempt to get their companion out of the boat's broadside.
Another young girl, dressed in walled guerrilla gear, armed with twin knives, stood by their side, scanning the sand around them vigilantly.
The crew next to Gordon subconsciously wanted to lower the sails and slow down, and leaned over to help, but the captain of the ship suddenly reached out to stop him.
"Don't slow down! Maintain speed, sail around them, there's something under the sand, let's hook that guy out first! ”
With that, the captain of the ship ran to the back of the sand boat and took the helm himself.
The "rustle" sound of the bottom of the ship rubbing against the sand quickly attracted the attention of the underground monsters.
A cloud of sand and dust rose from the ground not far away, and something beneath the ground was rapidly approaching them.
Gordon and Halfata both reached for the weapon behind him.
With a loud "boom", streamlined shadows jumped up from the sand, from top to bottom, and smashed down against the high-speed sand boat.
The captain jerked the rudder oars, and the sand boat nimbly drifted in an arc between the sand waves, successfully dodging the monster's surprise attack.
"It's a submersible dragon!" The captain shouted.
Without his warning, the two hunters had already drifted and dodged in the sand, and the moment the ship's speed plummeted, they pounced.
Tumbling on the ground, unloading the excess inertia, Gordon and Hayatta were just close to the side of the dive dragon that had fallen into the sand before he could dive.
There is only one thing that needs to be done now, and that is to attack wildly, firmly suppress the monsters, and buy time for the captain to rescue another sand ship.
The Wyvern Dragon Knife was instantly unsheathed, and the dexterous Hayatta moved faster than Gordon, drawing the knife and slashing, stabbing, picking, slashing, and slashing, and the sharp slash broke out continuously.
The lurksaurus, which looked like a fathead fish, let out an unpleasant roar and turned viciously towards Hayata.
Seeing that the former helped him attract the attention of the monster, Gordon did not hesitate to set up his big sword and directly began to prepare for the charging slash.
The other side.
The sand boat at the helm of the captain docked next to the capsized ship, and the crew jumped down one after another to help straighten the capsized ship.
Fortunately, the damage to the ship was not serious, and there was some damage to the side of the ship, but it did not affect the navigation.
It should have been attacked by the submarine dragon from below and overturned.
"Cessna, what's going on?" The captain of the ship asked the guerrillas of the walled city, who was armed with two knives.
The young Twin Blade Envoy, who also had the status of a two-star hunter, said with some eagerness, "We have found the people of the convoy, and it is on the platform over there.
They must have been attacked by the Sublic Dragon and hid there, but they were trapped, and I told them not to hurry down until the danger was really lifted. ”
"Well done." The captain looked at the platform in the distance and complimented Cessna.
Fortunately, they didn't take the people from the convoy directly off Taiyan.
If you don't have a person plus a camel and a cargo belt, it's another thing to say, even if you bring it all, it's too dangerous to face the submarine dragon that may appear at any time.
"What's next?" A crew member asked.
The captain of the ship thought for a moment, "Let's go, let's sail to the Taiyan side and join the people of the convoy."
Although the submarine dragon is a four-star dangerous-level monster, it should not be able to make any waves in front of a five-star and a four-star hunter. ”
"Yes!"
Ps.
I checked the task level of the dive dragon.,It's the same as the female fire dragon.,A little surprised emmmmm.,Maybe it's because of the danger of the sneak attack.,It's defined here as the bottom of the four-star monster.。
