According to the original plan of Gordon and others, after analyzing the traces left by the thunderwolf dragon group in the ruins of the village, the approximate number of incoming thunderwolf dragons was confirmed.

It's time to track the trail of its departure.

And the appearance of the thunderwolf dragon disrupted their plans on the one hand, and gave them a better target to track on the other.

- What is the same as tracking a target directly?

The purpose of the thunderwolf dragon to wander around here may indeed be to forage for food.

Julius's two Marubirds played their due role, and the sound of Maruo's "croaking" came from afar, and the Thunderwolf Dragon, which was still one or two hundred meters away from the ruins of the village, suddenly raised his head and sniffed left and right twice.

Then he ran in the direction of the two Marutori fleeing and ran at full speed.

Hiding behind a roof chimney somewhere, Nadia took her eyes off the scope and instead locked on to the Thunderwolf Dragon.

The speed of the thunderwolf dragon running at full speed was very fast, and she actually felt like she couldn't frame it with the scope.

"There is such a speed in the normal state, and listening to them, there is also a kind of 'supercharged' enhanced state? It's truly magical nature. ”

Nadia muttered to herself, put away her crossbow, and jumped off the roof.

The Thunderwolf Dragon had already run after Marutori into the woods, and she couldn't see anything if she stayed here, she knew Julius well, and she should be about to take a step forward.

The four hunters met on the main road in the middle of the village.

Julius said directly: "Let's start tracking, that thunderwolf dragon will most likely return to the lair after filling its belly, and it should be rewarded."

Be careful to keep it downwind as much as possible, as sulfur can mask the odor, but it does not eliminate the odor, and carelessness may still be detected. ”

Gordon proposed: "I suggest that the pork chops approach the tracking, and we will keep a safe distance of more than a kilometer and follow the marks left by the pork chops. ”

Julius nodded immediately, "It's a good idea, Ailu is less likely to attract attention." ”

"Do you want to meow too?"

Maybe it's because Julius has a strong aura? Xianglan didn't jump and shout to go as usual, but looked well-behaved to ask for advice.

The pig tightened the cat armor on his body, "Let's go together, meow, and if necessary, you can run on both sides to pass the meow." ”

"Good meow!" Xianglan also learned to make a catsword.

Two hunting cats galloped into the woods on all fours.

The hunters followed, with Julius at the front, Nadia in the center, Hayatta at the side, and Gordon at the rear.

It didn't take long for Xianglan to run back, "The two pill birds were eaten meow, the big guy's speed slowed down, and he began to go west to meow, and the pork chop said be careful not to chase too close." ”

The hunters nodded, and pandan ran away.

Being able to participate in the "special operation", the little one seems to be very excited.

The cats and hunters began a long tail line against the Thunderwolf Dragon in the streams and forests.

Most of the day passed, and they followed the Thunderwolf Dragon out of more than thirty kilometers, and here they had already left the range of a fifty-kilometer radius centered on Jieyun Village.

Ahead is the territory of the thunderwolf dragon they are tracking? Is it a temporary stronghold for the Thunderwolf Dragon Clan's counteroffensive? Or is it simply the base camp of the tribe?

No one could tell, so they had to keep going.

Pandan ran back again, this time with extra excitement.

"Meow! Thunderwolf dragon and other monsters have meowed! ”

Julius, at the front of the group, was stunned when he heard this, a kilometer away was not far away, and they didn't hear any howls of large monsters fighting.

"What monster did you fight? Dragon? Gordon also walked over.

There are not many monsters in this area that can go head-to-head with the Thunderwolf Dragon.

"Blue bear beast meow!"

Xianglan said while gesturing, "The Thunder Wolf Dragon rushed up and knocked down the green bear beast, and then slapped its paws 'snapped', and slapped the green bear beast to death in a few clicks!" ”

The hunters were a little helpless, they thought it was a turf struggle, and the situation described by Xianglan generally could not be called "fighting", but the blue bear beast was unilaterally murdered.

However, Julius, who is good at scouting, has a lot of knowledge about biology, and knows the habits of many monsters, sees something else.

He said to Xianglan: "Xianglan, go and call the pork chop back, don't go close and track it down." ”

Gordon was a little surprised, but no one objected.

After Pandan ran away to deliver the message, Julius briefly explained, "Part of it is because of the aggressiveness of the Thunderwolf Dragon, and part of it is intuition that the location of the nest should be almost there." ”

Gordon knew.

In fact, Julius's "intuition" is not something too mysterious.

Rather, when the relevant experience is sufficient, the brain subconsciously summarizes and makes judgments based on various types of information around it.

It seems that he is indeed about to reach the lair, and with this guy's character, he would not have said this without more than eighty percent certainty.

Pork Chop Pandan returned to the team, and the hunters followed the tracks left by the Thunderwolf Dragon for nearly an hour.

When they emerged from the wooded area, a huge canyon appeared in front of them.

Julius, the leader, stopped.

Without his instructions, Nadia nimbly climbed a rather tall tree, observed the surrounding terrain, and returned to the group.

She briefly reported: "The canyon is very deep, and it should be a very large valley after passing the pass, and the vegetation coverage inside and outside the valley is high, and the probability that the thunderwolf dragon will use the valley as a lair is not small." ”

Julius pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Group, Gordon Hayatta, you two stay outside the canyon pass, hiding yourselves, as a response.

Nadia and I will go into the valley to find out. ”

"Okay." Gordon nodded in response.

His specialty lies in frontal combat and tracking, as for covert reconnaissance, it can't be said that he can't, but the level is more than a grade behind Julius, and the speed of action can only lag behind.

Hayatta was fast enough, but the experience was too bad, and it was only natural that the two of them were left behind as a pick-up.

Julius and Nadia began to unload their things.

All kinds of baggage supplies, including food, traps, and most magazines, were left behind, and they were to enter the canyon as lightly as possible in order to maintain maximum flexibility and stealth.

"All the traps are left to you, and after we enter the canyon, you look for a suitable place to set up the trap near the pass.

There is no need to save it, it is all arranged, and the pace of the thunder wolf dragon can be delayed when evacuating. Julius gave Gordon the trap mechanism.

"No problem."

Julius continued: "I brought two flares, and if I see the green signal go up, it means that we are in trouble, but we are still in the range of coping and ready to respond.

If it is red, it means that the number of thunder wolf dragons in the valley is far beyond expectations, do not hesitate to evacuate quickly.

Bring the news back to Jieyun Village as quickly as possible, close the village to defend it tightly, and at the same time send a peregrine falcon to send an urgent message to Dondoruma, so that the guild can immediately send elite support.

Again, if it's red, there's no point in you staying, Nadia and I are fast, and the probability of escape is higher. ”

Gordon was silent for a second, then nodded, "I understand." ”
