After Feng Ying confirmed the style of the customized equipment, the processing officer nodded, put away the manuscript paper and stood up, and began a series of preparations before the start of construction.

For example, the selection and pre-processing of materials, the measurement and collection of body data, etc.

Isana also rushed over to help, there were only a few hunters traveling with the brigade, and there were not many opportunities to watch the processing and build a complete set of armor, so it was a good time for her to learn.

Gordon had little interest in any of this, and continued to wander around the Isana.

The old merchant and Chef Meow are not there, and the two of them are afraid that they will go to the village to set up a stall again, and Sophia, the Kanban girl, is doing very strange things with Aiden.

She had Aiden imitate the Hellwolf Dragon's movements, and tried to copy a sketch of the Hellwolf Dragon's battle image.

It's weird, take another look.

"Yo, Gordon is back."

A greeting from behind him made Gordon turn around, "Captain." ”

Always gives a positive and optimistic impression, as if nothing in the world can be difficult for his old gentleman, and the smile on his face is a little reluctant.

The two exchanged pleasantries and walked to the bow of the boat together, which was relatively clean.

"Mr. Commander, is there any bad news for me?" Gordon asked suddenly.

"Heh," the old man smiled bitterly, "See? ”

"You don't usually say so many kind things that are not nutritious."

"You kid, is this called foreshadowing, understand?" The head of the regiment folded his arms, "We can't just slap the bad news in your face as soon as we come up." ”

Gordon smiled indifferently, "Guess what, the guild has given a hunting order?" ”

The regiment commander was silent for two seconds, then nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, Julius, Hayata, and Nadia approached the grounded place and conducted reconnaissance.

Although he did not face the target directly, from the roar, breath, and the astonishing concentration of the dragon virus, it was almost certain that there was a monster far more powerful than the Black Eclipse Dragon, which was inhabiting the grounded ground.

It should be the legendary Heavenly Dragon. ”

Speaking of this, the brigade commander paused for a moment, as if he was a little ashamed to speak.

"Previously, the instructions conveyed to me by the guild leaders clearly mentioned that once it is confirmed that the virus and spores spread by the source of the epidemic in Sky Mountain are more active, a large number of black eclipse dragons may be born, and there is no need to continue to report it, and the crusade will be carried out immediately.

The professors of the Rhodosaurus Research Institute had confirmed this not long ago, so the crusade was already on the agenda, and it was scheduled after the production of the anti-dragon stone was completed.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys in advance."

Gordon waved his hand to show he didn't care.

"What is there to tell in advance, you were not in Xinard Village before."

Gordon said indifferently: "And when I saw that the guild sent the pen and the professor to Synard Village, I knew that the crusade was basically a sure thing.

At that time, it dragged on for several days, and I am afraid that it was not just to wait for the professor to prepare the instruments, but to decide to hunt a mysterious creature that could basically be determined to be an ancient dragon, the guild also needed to hold repeated meetings to demonstrate. ”

The brigade commander lowered the brim of his hat and fell silent.

Stroking the rudder of the Isana, which was still brand new, the old man sighed, "I didn't expect that the pursuit journey with the goal of exploring the unknown would eventually evolve into this kind of never-ending hunting, and it will also involve you."

Gordon was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "So that's what you said about apology." ”

The brigade commander did not speak.

It is true that the upper hunters will contact the ancient dragons from time to time under the orders of the guild, but they are basically exploration, reconnaissance, and very few cases that require frontal combat to repel the ancient dragons, and generally rely on fortifications for defensive operations.

The mission that is really aimed at hunting ancient dragons may not be once in a few years.

If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Dragons spread the mad dragon disease and spawned countless Black Eclipse Dragons, it would have been too dangerous, and the guild would still choose to deal with it conservatively.

After all, with the power of the ancient dragon species, there is a high probability that there will be casualties among the already scarce high-ranking hunters in the crusade, and once the hunt fails, the follow-up troubles are endless.

From a certain point of view, the hunters of the silver border were also forced to wade into troubled waters.

The water is full of piranhas.

However, Gordon didn't care, he patted the old man's muscular arm hard, and said with a smile: "You just think it is, we found it ourselves." ”

In the days that followed, Gordon, Fengying, and Aiden also joined the battle to rid the infected monsters.

In the process, Gordon discovered that, as the professors say, the smaller the creature, the less susceptible it is to the dragon virus.

For example, the spirit deer, the mushroom pig, and the wild Ailu, Meralu and other orc species, are rarely infected.

Birds, small insects, etc., are completely immune, which is definitely great news.

If flying insects and birds could become carriers and spreaders of the dragon virus, the entire Old World would have to fall in a few months.

Even so, the professors still did not dare to let their guard down, after all, the virus could also evolve.

The best way to resolve the crisis is to address the root causes of the epidemic before the situation deteriorates further.

A few days later, at the call of the professor, the hunters gathered again at the home of the great monk.

The entire Sinard Village is spacious enough for his home to accommodate so many people at once.

"You've been here lately, aren't you a little too self-indulgent, how many times have you opened the limit?" Gordon held Hayatta's head and propped her eyelids open with his fingers.

Purple-black blood infects her sclera like a creeper, and the suppression potion and black dragon armor are almost unable to suppress the dragon virus in her body.

Hayata's cheeks flushed.

Julius was on the side, and said to Gordon with an expressionless face: "It's not Hayata's problem, the dragon virus activity here in Sky Mountain is very high.

Not only her, but also the virus that has been suppressed by the potion in our bodies is also showing signs of reactivation. ”

In order to prove the truth of what he said, Julius pulled his eyelids at Gordon with a serious face.

Gordon let go of Hayata's head and leaned into Julius's face, squinting at the bloodshot in the latter's eyes and muttering, "Really"

Nadia pulled away her captain with a broken face, "What do you say you're making a fuss about?" ”

"The inhibition agent is working faster than I expected."

The professor brought the topic back on track, "Actually, it's normal, whether it's a suppression potion or a black eclipse dragon armor, the basis of the active ingredients comes from the 'black eclipse dragon'.

Recently, the source of the virus you have been exposed to is 'more mature', the virulence is also stronger, and there is even a high probability of encountering a second infection, so it is natural that the inhibition effect will become worse.

Worry no more, though. ”

With that, before the hunters could speak, the professor beckoned and called Alva over.

Alva held a tray in his hand, on which were placed several gray-black "stones" that looked inconspicuous at first glance, but always exuded special energy.

"That's it?"

"Well, this is the most important scientific research achievement since the establishment of the Madsaurus Research Institute, and it is also the best means to fight the mad dragon's disease - anti-dragonstone, you can try the effect."

Gordon grabbed a piece and tossed it to Hayata.

After Hayatta scrambled to catch it, his movements suddenly paused.

The purple and black blood in her eyes was rapidly dissipating.

Ps. In the game, "extreme" refers to the group of monsters that overcome the dragon virus and become stronger, and I feel that this word is also appropriate to describe the enhanced state of the hunter after overcoming the dragon disease, which is easy to understand.

And,There are various effects of anti-dragon stones in 4g.,It's like playing extreme monsters and knowing something.,I won't add these here.,Just think it's the early stage of research and development.,Those effects haven't been developed yet-
