Chapter 375: Is This Considered Fire Scouting?
Gordon and Hayatta picked up a place to set a trap near the pass, while Julius and Nadia quietly entered the canyon.
The two of them took cover from shrubs, miscellaneous trees, and rocks, and pushed forward vigilantly.
At the same time, Julius and the others were constantly observing the pass.
On both sides are almost vertical cliffs, almost impossible to climb, the narrowest part of the pass is only five or six meters, and the width is only more than ten meters, and a large monster of the size of the thunderwolf dragon can only pass through alone.
Julius was pleasantly surprised by the narrow terrain.
Even if there was really a large group of thunder wolf dragons in the valley, facing this canyon pass, they could only pass in a queue, which could delay for a lot of time.
As long as Gordon wasn't stupid, he would have set up the traps in these narrow places, so that the Thunderwolf would waste more time trying to get through.
The whole canyon is funnel-shaped, and after leaving the pass at the entrance of the canyon, the space behind it becomes more and more open.
A large rift valley covering an area of two or three square kilometers under the envelopment of mountains appeared in front of them.
Julius suddenly felt that the terrain of this deep valley was somewhat similar to the village of Yukumo.
They are all surrounded by mountains, and they all have narrow entrances.
"It's a pity that the terrain inside is uneven, and the height difference is too big, otherwise it would be a great place to build a village."
Julius looked at the surrounding mountains and couldn't help but sigh: "These surrounding peaks are simply a natural barrier. โ
Nadia looked around a few times and said with a smile: "It's too troublesome for humans to go up and down, but it's just right for monsters.
So, it's not so much a good place to build a village, it's a good place for monsters to nest. โ
In the face of Nadia's bar-raising speech, Julius did not argue much, but said lightly: "Prepare." โ
Immediately, the two of them shook out a colorful half-length cloak from their respective bags and draped it on their bodies.
Nadia pulled up her hood and said with a smile, "Seriously, this thing developed by the master craftsman is really easy to use, and it feels much more practical than those super cannons that can stuff a whole boar king into it." โ
Julius still didn't reply, and the way the two got along with each other was always like this, one often teasing, the other often ignoring.
But to be honest, Julius himself was very fond of this special cloak, which had just been invented.
This may seem insignificant, but it can be of great help to hunters, especially when it comes to concealing their whereabouts.
It is made of a rather special kind of fabric layered on top of each other, which largely blocks the sound of armor rubbing and the sound of branches and leaves scraping.
When depicted with a special dye, it blends almost into the trees and grasses, and at the same time, the dye emits a smell similar to the sap of plants and trees, masking the hunter's body odor.
At the same time, from the auditory, visual, olfactory senses, the hunter is camouflaged.
Even if there are no obstacles around, as long as you pull up your hood and crouch still, it is easy for passing monsters to ignore you as a bush.
It was as if it was invisible.
Therefore, Master Cambay, who was the inventor, named this cloak "invisibility clothing".
I didn't think much about it, so I brought it with me when I set off to Jieyun Village, and it just came in handy right now.
Carefully wrapping his long silver hair in a hood, Julius made a "silence" gesture.
Nadia shrugged her shoulders and didn't speak again.
The two of them leaned slightly, silently weaving through the increasingly dense vegetation around them, like two shadows that did not exist, slowly probing into the depths of the rift.
In this way, after a few hundred meters of progress, Julius, who was in charge of opening the way, suddenly raised his fist and stopped.
Nadia looked at him, Julius made a few gestures, and Nadia looked forward and immediately understood what he meant.
As they explored deeper into the rift, the terrain was lowering, and the slope of the road they had previously traveled was approaching thirty degrees.
Further on, the terrain suddenly becomes steeper, not impossible to descend, but it is likely to be assisted by both hands and even ropes, and it is almost impossible to continue to act in stealth.
Nadia thought for a moment, and also gestured to Julius.
She wanted to find a place with a good line of sight and start a fire reconnaissance.
Julius thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
This is also one of their common tactics, and in the event of a situation like this, which cannot be approached stealthily for various reasons, fire reconnaissance is often the best choice.
Nadia scanned her eyes left and right, and soon found a good spot.
From there, the view stretches over most of the rift valley and a few lush shrubs to hide.
Under the cover of vegetation, the two smuggled over, Nadia burrowed into the bushes and set up a light crossbow, while Julius climbed the canopy of a large nearby tree to guard Nadia.
Nadia unfolded her scope and slowly searched the depths of the rift.
The terrain in the rift valley is complex and the vegetation is lush, and it is not easy to find the right target, but Nadia has patience.
It took more than ten minutes for her to finally lock on a suitable target.
It was a dog dragon.
In the rift where the Thunderwolf Dragon lived, there were carnivorous monsters such as the Dog Dragon, and Nadia was also a little surprised.
But on second thought, it wouldn't be surprising if the Thunderwolf Dragon had been using this rift as a lair for a short time.
She was the crossbow ยท Press the last dyed magazine, gently pull the bolt load, and then put the dog dragon in the rift below into the scope, hold your breath, and aim carefully.
Seconds later, she pulled the trigger.
With a soft sound like a gas leak, the dyed projectile flew out, slashing through hundreds of meters of space, and accurately hit the dog dragon.
The dyeing bomb exploded, the dye splashed, and the dog dragon, nicknamed "Pink Temporosaurus" in the mouths of some hunters in the Old World, literally turned pink.
The strong smell spreads.
"Rattle!" The dog dragon let out a sharp scream.
Stained bullets do not have a hard warhead, and the damage is slight, but they can accurately fire a crossbow at such a distance, even if it is made of water, it is very painful to hit the body.
Nadia slowly withdrew the half-muzzle of the cannon that poked out of the bushes, and waited silently.
As the roar of the dog dragon sounded and the smell of dye spread, several roars suddenly came from the depths of the originally peaceful and peaceful rift.
Then came the sound of heavy but swift footsteps, and the "swish" sound of branches and leaves being washed away.
The dog dragon raised his head in a panic, looked left and right, and then leaned down and began to run away.
But before it could run a few steps, a cyan beast rushed out of the woods, bit it in its mouth, tore it from side to side, and then slammed it to the ground.
Before the dog dragon could scream, it had already turned into a tattered corpse.
At this moment, another thunderwolf dragon ran and appeared in the sight of the two Nadia.
It came to the corpse of the dog dragon, sniffed and kissed it a few times, and touched its nose with the thunder wolf dragon that had bitten the dog dragon before, as if exchanging feelings.
Then they went into the forest and disappeared.
Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling some traces and details on the two thunderwolf dragons, and muttered to herself silently:
"Confirmed at the moment, both ends."
