After Hayatta completed a sketch of most of the "loot" stained with black oil, Gordon immediately arranged for an evacuation.

These items in the lair are already quite strong evidence.

Perhaps, there are still some clues and details in the lair, but in the moment of emergency, it is more important to pass on the information that has been discovered.

In particular, the point of "the Pavilion Mantis leaving the nest with weapons" must be warned to the guild as soon as possible, so that the local fortresses should be more careful.

As when you came, the retreat was a thrilling one.

Maybe it's because the queen isn't in the lair? Those male praying mantis exhibited a considerable degree of inertia.

According to the reaction of the pork chops and pandans who are responsible for taking turns to lead them away, these male mantis stop chasing every few steps, and they can easily get out.

After passing through caves and narrow passages, Gordon and the others finally returned to the surface.

At this time, it was almost dark, but they didn't mean to rub it too much, and directly launched a signal flare into the air, so that the dragon ship was ready to take off.

Considering the emergency that may arise at any time, the dragon ship did not release the air bag to land completely, but fixed the hull above the city wall with anchor cables, and as long as the rope was disconnected, it could take off immediately.

After returning to the dragon ship, the hunters immediately prepared to report to the guild headquarters.

After all, the weight of the stationery that the peregrine falcon can carry is limited, and they can't go into a long speech, but they just summarize their findings and conjectures in a few sentences, and then release the peregrine falcon.

After all this was done, the hunters had time to catch their breath a little.

Mrs. Duda walked over with a smile on her face, and Gordon Hayatta was a little speechless.

Fortunately, Anhill knew how persistent the lady was, and sent her away with a piece of metal with an ancient inscription that he had picked up in the lair.

Mrs. Duda was overjoyed, and rubbed Anhill's head well, muttering "I didn't hurt you in vain when I was a child" or something.

In the face of this mother's best friend, he was also very helpless.

The person in charge of the dragon knowledge ship, the leader of the investigation team, and the young dragon scholar who was a little younger than Feng Ying followed.

Facing the unkind eyes of Gordon and the three, the young man was a little numb.

Thin and petite, he looked like a chicken cub even in front of Hayata, and the overlooking gaze of the three of them gave him the illusion that he was actually only Ailu.

The leader of the investigation team raised his hands and said as if in surrender, "I have something to discuss!"

Gordon folded his arms, "You say."

「...... Where do we go next?" The dragon boy said helplessly, "You need to confirm the destination as soon as possible, and then plan the route."

Is it really serious?

Gordon, who had already had some firm and stereotypical influence on the scholars of the Dragon Academy, lowered his arms with a dry smile, "This is true, to be honest, it hasn't been decided yet, let's have a small meeting to discuss?"

Are any of the scholars on board good at analyzing monster movements? It's like Mr. Yin Sa, but it's a pity that Mr. Yin Sa is still in Flame Village."

The leader of the investigation team nodded, "I see, wait a minute, I'll ask the scholars to come over."

Under the arrangement of the leader of the investigation team, the three of Gordon sat down in a quiet cabin with the two scholars he had invited.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

The scholar gave a word to the leader of the investigation team.

The young scholar, like a student, immediately went to get the map.

Another middle-aged male scholar pondered, "Our knowledge of the mantis is very limited, and it is very different from any beetle species or even any kind of creature that we already know.

It is difficult for us to accurately analyze the purpose and direction of its next move from the existing information."

"You're too cautious." There was a hint of criticism in the tone of the older female scholar, "This is not writing an academic paper, there is no need to pursue such rigor.

As long as there is a certain amount of logical speculation, it can be put forward."

"I see, Teacher." The male scholar nodded, exhaled, and said, "If, as you said, the Pavilion Mantis has a habit of using the dragon lance as a weapon, then its behavior of leaving the nest with the dragon lance may indeed be aggressive.

Now it's time to predict where the next attack will be, right?"

"That's right." Gordon nodded.

I wish the scholar's way of speaking was succinct, and the words "if", "maybe" and "hypothetical" appear frequently in his discourse, as if he had some kind of spiritual cleanliness.

At this time, a detailed map of the continent was also sent by the leader of the investigation team.

The middle-aged scholar pointed to the map and said, "Starting from the ancient ruins, the Pavilion Mantis will not have too many options, it can go in three directions.

To the south, there is the Great Desert.

The only cities in the Great Desert that are worth targeting are Barubare, which is a moving city and is not easy to target, while Rocklac is built on a boulder platform, and it is not easy for the Mantis to take it.

Personally, I don't think it's very likely that the praying mantis will go in this direction.

To the east, there is the Lexai Sea.

Fishing town of Lexala? This is a possibility, but Lexara doesn't have a conventional concept of city defense, and they are mainly guarded against monsters from the sea.

Considering the purpose of collecting heavy mechanical parts such as dragon guns, this is a meaningless goal, and the probability is not high."

The middle-aged scholar's finger moved down on the map and continued, "There is also a direction to the north.

To the north is the Metabe Forest (Old Forest) and the Geokruk Inland Sea, an area that deserves both attention and suspicion, and is home to the recently attacked Georis Ridge.

Ji Cheng should be careful, if he loses it, the probability of the Pavilion Mantis and the mysterious monster whose body is unknown directly attacking the city is not low.

And Metabetat, too, is in this direction."

The middle-aged scholar looked worried.

The elderly female scholar who was called a teacher by the middle-aged scholar spoke, "He has already analyzed the direction in which the pavilion mantis may go, so let's start from another angle.

- Destroy the Dondoruma arsenal and bring the mysterious monster of black oil.

Judging from the size and ability of the Pavilion Mantis, it is basically impossible for it to capture a fortress without manipulating the ruins.

Then it seems to me that there is a considerable possibility that it will "join forces" with the mysterious monster again.

Hmm, maybe it's more appropriate to steal the loot from the tail line?"

"That's what we're most worried about, two ancient dragon creatures at the same time......" Gordon rubbed his face.

The old lady stared at the map and continued, "Actually, your thinking is a little limited by the Pavilion Mantis, since the Pavilion Mantis is likely to follow behind the mysterious monster, isn't it more direct to analyze the movements of the mysterious monster?"

"Well, we've tried to think about it that way, but unfortunately we haven't been able to get any clues to the origin of the mysterious monster, so we can't analyze it." Gordon explained.

"That's not right." The old lady shook her head slightly, "There is no clue, and it is also a clue.

Being able to destroy a fortress quickly, the strength of the mysterious monster is undoubted, and the size and strength are also estimated to be amazing, why hasn't anyone witnessed it?

Even if the garrison that attacked the fortress was completely wiped out, what about the passers-by and the witnesses?"

Gordon and the others looked at each other and couldn't answer.

"There are only a few ways for monsters to move, in the air, on land, underground, and if you're close to water, there's also in the water.

Judging from the situation of the Dondoruma arsenal, the last three were directly excluded, which means that the large monster is most likely flying.

It stands to reason that monsters that are large enough to fly in the air are easy to be witnessed by caravans, travelers, etc., so why are there no sightings? Where did it fly from?"

Hayatta thought for a moment and said, "Over the deserted mountains and forests, or on the sea?"

Anhill frowned, "The situation has been tense recently, and Dongdoruma is under martial law, so the number of caravans from all over the world going to Dongdoruma should be greatly reduced......

Wait, Gio Crook Inland Sea?

With the blockade of the port of East Doruma, the trade in the Giokruk Inland Sea was completely meaningless, and there were almost no ships sailing on the sea.

If that mysterious monster flies over the Inland Sea, the probability of being spotted is very low!"

Gordon's eyes were fixed on the blue triangle on the map.

"East Doruma, and then Jicheng, both of which are bordered by the Inland Sea." His fingers moved along the coastline of the Inland Sea on the map.

until it stays at a certain point.

"The third seaside city built around the Inland Sea - Metabeta!"

Ps. would have liked to refer to the city of Plum for short, but it is common to think that the city of Plum is generally used to refer to the city of Major
