Chapter 986: Eaten?
(Today's first chapter.,I'm afraid I'm not free in the afternoon and evening orz.,Originally, it was all tomorrow's chapter.,Now even the manuscript of that day is gone, emmm)
Compared to the caution of Gordon and the others when they explored the valley, Hayatta and Gail, who searched for targets in the northern mountains of the plateau, were much more relaxed.
The number of animals in this area is small, and it is relatively barren compared to the low-lying areas where everything is competing.
The mountain road is rugged, and often there is no road in front of you after walking not far away, and you can only climb those cliffs that are tens of meters away in order to continue to move forward.
But they have long been accustomed to this as hunters, and having a companion to help guard them when climbing can minimize the probability of encountering accidents.
After two days of traveling, not to mention encountering danger, even the monsters that took the initiative to attack them rarely appeared, and Gail began to feel bored.
"I already knew that I would go to the valley, what is the difference between this terrain and the mountains of the Gorald region of the Old World?"
Hayatta didn't answer, in fact, she had similar feelings.
As Mr. Kin said, the coral reefs at high have lost their water and nutrients and have long since died completely, calcifying into gray reefs.
If it weren't for the vague recognizable patterns that belonged to creatures, they would really be completely mixed with ordinary mountain rocks.
However, these loose and porous coral reefs also have their own unique advantages, as they can store more fine soil and water carried by the wind than ordinary mountain rocks, and become a breeding ground for plants and fungi.
Abundance of mosses, low shrubs and herbaceous plants grow between the crevices of the coral reef and the rocks, adding a lot of life to this gray coral reef mountain range.
"There's actually a reply to the honey meow here?"
Pandan suddenly quickened her pace and ran to a white funnel-shaped flower with a round honey worm lying on it, sucking the nectar.
Although this honey worm has not accumulated enough honeydew on its abdomen, the discovery of one means that there are more in the vicinity.
Its honey attraction incense is finally not vaginal.
Hayatta gestured, and Gail and Sandstone gathered together.
At this time, they were on the mountainside, a rocky platform of several thousand square meters, with no slopes up or down, only vertical cliffs.
This is a special topography in this area, layer by layer, and there is no transition between each layer of rock platforms, and many times it can only go straight up and down.
But there are benefits to this, at least with a wide field of vision.
In addition, the calcareous coral reef is made up of a thin layer of rocky soil, which is difficult to support tall trees, so as long as you pay attention to the sky, you don't need to worry about being attacked by large monsters.
"This platform is good, let's rest the formation, Sandstone, please be in charge of the vigilance." Hayatta said.
"I see, meow."
Contrary to its owner, Sandstone has a mature and steady personality, and Anhill admires it, often saying that it is a pity that it follows someone.
With a piece of food in her mouth, Hayatta unfolded the map and compared the surrounding terrain, quickly confirming where they were.
"I've already entered the range of the miserable claw dragon, and if you continue to climb to the top, you will gradually get closer to the territory of the Sakura Fire Dragon.
Shall we go to the top of the mountain first and finish off the Sakura Fire Dragon? Or do you search the mountainside to the foot of the mountain and find the clawed dragon first? Hayatta asked Gael's opinion.
Gail's face was full of indifference, she sat down cross-legged on the spot, and shook her hands, "I'll do it, you just decide." ”
Hayatta thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's go to the top of the mountain to hunt the cherry fire dragon first, the cherry fire dragon can fly, and the ecological niche is also higher."
The Miserable Claw Dragon should not run to the top of the mountain and indiscriminately invade the territory of the Sakura Fire Dragon, but if we fight with the Claw Dragon, the probability of the Sakura Fire Dragon falling from the sky to join in the fun is not small. ”
"Reasonable, just as you say!"
Hayatta sighed silently, if this guy was so good at talking in front of Anhil, there wouldn't be so many quarrels.
"Pandan, don't tease that honey worm, come and help." Hayatta called.
Xianglan ran over and took out a small medicine mill.
Hayatta and the others also took out from their backpacks the antidote grass they had collected in the past two days, as well as a green mushroom that was very similar to the blue mushrooms of the Old World.
Due to the energy-rich environment of the New World, the medicinal effects of the various herbs and mushrooms collected here are often better than those of the Old World.
Take antidotes, for example.
In the Old World, the detoxification herb often had to be mixed with blue mushrooms and extracted in a series of steps to blend the standard antidote.
The detoxification grass in the New World only needs to be squeezed simply, and it can be directly used as an antidote, and even the effect of chewing directly is similar.
If you add green mushrooms and mix them simply, the antidote effect can even be comparable to that of Kampo medicine.
Hayata, who had hunted the Sakura Fire Dragon, was impressed by the monster's amazing venom.
She was worried that she and Gale wouldn't have enough Kampo medicine with them, so she collected materials along the way, preparing to mix a few more pairs before the battle began.
The process of blending went smoothly, mainly because the herbs were fresh and of high quality, and there were no failures.
By the time these "New World versions" of Kampo medicine were blended, their physical strength had almost recovered.
Simply packed up his tuning and tools, and was about to continue the climb, when Sandstone, who was in charge of guarding, suddenly sounded the alarm.
It raised its big shield, bared its small tiger teeth, and stared vigilantly in a certain direction, with the pitch-black cat armor that looked like a vicious dog, it was really a bit fierce.
Hayatagarh immediately removed the weapon behind him, and Pandan tightened her grip on the catsword.
The scene was silent for a few seconds, but no monsters appeared.
"Rough meow!" Sandstone let out a low growl.
"Meow Woo Purr ——!" It repeated the phrase in the language commonly used by the Orcs of the New World.
A few more moments passed, just as Sandstone pondered whether he should rush over and pull the voyeur out.
Two small figures poked their heads out from behind the reef rocks where they were hiding.
They were also two Dettel, and their fur was mainly gray with some milky white stripes.
They seem to be scared, only showing half of their faces, and if the hunters show aggression, they will definitely turn around and run.
Hayatta cast a color to Gail, and the two of them put away their weapons for the time being.
"Brother, go and ask them what they mean." Gail's mysterious name left Sandstone speechless, but he did so anyway.
Sandstone, who looked like a dog, put away his guardian shield, raised his paws to show harmlessness, and walked towards the two Detels.
The two Detters were still uneasy, their tails stretched straight, and one of their ears was still shaking.
Fortunately, Sandstone, who was a member of the Detl tribe in the wild not long ago, knew very well how to deal with these timid kindred.
It took off its helmet, showed its true face, lowered the vigilance of the two Detters, and exchanged some food for each other as a gesture of friendship.
Soon, they were able to communicate normally.
"What are they talking about?" Gail asked Pandan in a whisper.
"How do you know about meow?"
"Aren't you also a cat, go and meow with them?"
“。” Xianglan turned her head, not bothering to pay attention to her.
Fortunately, at this time, the communication between the sandstone and them came to an end, and it came back with the two Detters.
"They are a group of meows that live on the terrestrial coral mesas." Sandstone first gave a brief introduction.
Over the course of his time, Gael, who was at times a bit of a talker, had improved significantly in his lingua franca and his accent was much more accurate.
"Listen to what they mean, the 'pink fire dragon' has died and been hunted down by another terrible monster.
They were scared and meowed around, and they ran into us. ”
Hearing this, the Hayatta and the others frowned.
They didn't think the two Detters could lie, and the orcs generally had no concept of deception.
Can. can hunt and kill the Sakura Fire Dragon, whose danger level is infinitely close to six stars, and the strength of that unknown monster is at least above six stars, with a high probability of seven stars, or even eight stars.
I thought it would be a relatively easy task, but who would have thought that I would run into such a tricky existence?
"To fight or not?" Gail looked at Ayata.
Hayatta hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and said, "If you don't fight, it's too easy to have an accident when hunting a high-risk monster with an unknown body."
However, I'm going to take a closer look at the body of the Sakura Fire Dragon and try to gather some clues, and if I can confirm the identity of the attacker, it would be best if I could.
We must bring this information back to the research base, and hunting the Miserable Claw is no longer relevant compared to an unknown high-risk monster capable of hunting the Sakura Fire Dragon. ”
