The airship eventually landed outside the hunters' camp at the southern foot of the volcano.

Not to mention that they can't determine the location of the temporary camp yet, and even if they can, it is unlikely that they will directly land the airship there.

Commercial airships have no defense, and sufficient flight altitude is their only means of self-protection, and it is too risky to land in a hunting ground inhabited by a variety of large monsters.

After landing in the camp, Hilda, as the captain, gave the order.

- Delay the hunt and spend two to three days preparing for it.

They will split up for the time being.

Hilda herself, on her own, will go deep into the lava cavern to find out the location of the target Hammerblaster, as well as the spiders and armored dragons that may have appeared, and roughly confirm their range.

This is crucial.

If you can avoid the activity area of large monsters other than the target in advance, you may be able to avoid random entry events.

Feng Ying took Amber with Anhil, and their main purpose was twofold, one was to find a temporary camp, and the other was to collect dragon fruit.

No one can predict what will happen after the hunt is over, and there is a possibility that many people will be injured and need to rush back to the base immediately for emergency treatment.

It's better to collect this kind of thing before it is done.

More than two days passed in a flash.

That night, three people and one dog gathered around the campfire in the hunter's camp to share the discoveries and achievements of the past two days.

Hilda unfolded the map that ordinary people would be dazzled by even if they just looked at it, and said, "The description of the terrain on this map is actually very detailed and accurate.

The reason why it looks messy is because the two maps are stacked on top of each other. ”

"Two maps?" Feng Ying asked suspiciously.

"Well, this volcano can't compete in scale with a giant volcanic complex like the Lateau Volcanic Mountains, but the terrain is quite complex.

From the outside, it is a series of mountain peaks one after another, while inside the mountain, there are large and small caves that crisscross and cross the mountain. ”

Hilda's finger tipped across the map, "These areas depict the terrain outside the mountain, or on the volcano.

And here, and here, is the inside of the volcano, the so-called 'lava cave'. ”

Feng Ying and Anhill understood.

In the past two days, the places they have walked through are basically the first layer, that is, the area on the volcano, and it is because they have not entered the mountain that they feel that the map looks messy.

"Talking about the monster, I've found the hammer dragon, and its area of activity is in this area, which is the middle of the lava cave.

I have also witnessed the concubine spider, it is here, the northeast of the lava cave, the distance between the two is still relatively far, but I can't be completely assured.

This spider likes to run around, and the real activity area should be large. ”

"Why do you say that?" Anhill asked.

Hilda pointed out several locations on the map, "Here, here, and here, I have found traces of the Chancellor Spider.

It should be the result of the concubine spider giving birth to cubs everywhere. ”

"I see, Instructor Hilda, have you found the location of the Armored Dragon?"

"Nope."

Hilda rubbed her forehead in annoyance, "Armored dragons are not too active by nature, and often burrow into the ground or even magma to rest, I didn't find it.

That's pretty much what I found, by the way, it's very hot in the lava cave, so remember to bring a cold drink. ”

"Understood, let's talk about the situation on our side, first of all, killing dragon fruit, we have collected seven, and I don't know if it is enough."

Anhill said, giving Feng Ying a look.

Feng Ying immediately pulled out the dark red, round hard fruits in her bag.

Hilda checked the fruits, "The quality is good, but seven may not be enough, everyone should pay more attention to it when they move later, and try to collect as many as possible." ”

"Okay! Amber has memorized the smell of this fruit, and if you pass by nearby, you shouldn't miss it. ”

"Wow!"

"There's also the issue of makeshift camps."

Anhill pointed to the map, "We found one of them, indeed on a ridge, in this location. ”

Hilda glanced at it and nodded, "Between the sixth and seventh districts, this location is good, and the straight-line distance from the Hammerblaster activity area is not too far."

The only question is, is there an entrance or exit to the mountain nearby? ”

"Yes."

"That's good."

Hilda nodded in satisfaction, "It doesn't matter if we don't find another temporary camp, we will use this temporary camp as a base for activities."

The security of the camp is okay, right? ”

"It's okay, on a little steep hill, the small monster is estimated to not be able to jump up, there is a ring of stone walls around the camp, it should have been dug by the ancestors, but unfortunately there is no roof, open air."

In the eyes of the cautious Anhill, only the kind of camp that is surrounded by a solid mountain can be called "safe".

"That's good, don't be too demanding, how big is the temporary camp?" Hilda asked.

"About thirty square meters, it's pretty small." Feng Ying recalled.

"That's good."

Hilda smiled and said to Anhill: "You are just worried that some Wyvern monsters will attack from the air, don't worry, it won't."

Large wyverns don't land in such a small place, they can't spread their wings, and it will be very troublesome to land and take off, and this should be the role of the stone wall.

As for monsters that are small enough, such as the Pterodactyls, would you be worried? ”

"Yes."

Anhill smiled and relieved himself, "In addition, we have found that the 'vitality' of this volcano is much stronger than that of Lateau Volcano.

We saw a lot of heat-tolerant plants, and small monsters were also common, poisonous dog dragons, wild boars, giant bees, pterodactyl snakes"

"I also saw a big red-armored beast!" Feng Ying raised her hand to add.

"Yes, all in all, we didn't find any creatures that were too dangerous, and compared to the lava cave where high-risk monsters are gathered, it's like two worlds."

Hilda smiled and said, "It's not surprising, you will also find out in the future, the more hostile the environment, the more powerful the monsters that are spawned."

It's a bit of a stretch, and the next thing is the specific hunting plan, which is actually not too complicated. ”

Hilda straightened out the map and continued, "We'll leave tomorrow with as much ammunition and supplies as we can, and head to the makeshift camp, well, let's call it Camp 2, we're in Camp 1 right now.

Anhil, we each carry two base ammunition, Xiao Fengying needs to work harder, you and Amber are divided, you have to bring three base crossbows, arrows and punch bottles.

If there are a total of five base ammo, it will definitely be enough to hunt the Hammerblaster, and it will be a little reluctant to bring another large monster, but our goal is only the Hammerblaster, and the other large monsters can run away. ”

"Okay."

"Leave the work to me!" Feng Ying bent up his arms that didn't have much flesh, and he was full of confidence.

"Wang!"

Hilda couldn't help but rub Feng Ying's head, and continued, "Store the extra ammunition and supplies in Camp 2, and we can set off lightly."

Hunting the Hammerblaster itself is not a difficult task, the problem is to avoid contact with other large monsters as much as possible.

So, my plan was to drive the Hammerblaster west, away from the area where the Spider was located, and close to Camp Two, so that it would be easier to restock.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation. ”

Speaking of this, Hilda's expression became more serious, "If there are other large monsters in the process of fighting the Hammerblaster, don't panic, I will lure them away."

Anhil, even if you don't consider Xiao Fengying's combat power, you should be sure that you will hunt the Hammer Dragon alone, right? ”

"That's nature."

After nodding seriously, Anhill hesitated and asked, "If there is an extreme situation where three large monsters gather, how to deal with it?" ”

"Retreat immediately."

Hilda replied without hesitation: "If that happens, Feng Ying will evacuate directly on Amber, and then Anhil, I will cover you." ”
