In the face of the sudden appearance of the Miserable Clawed Dragon, the hunters' faces were not too good-looking.

Of course, it's not that it can't be beaten, but considering the agility and speed of the Miserable Claw Dragon, it is obviously impossible to kill as quickly as it can against the Great Paralytic Thief Dragon.

Hunting the Miserable Claw was no good for them, and the movement of the battle could attract anything else, which would be a nuisance at any rate.

"Paralyze it." Anhill said with a frown, and then set up the karmic heavy crossbow [Don't Starve], preparing to use the spread bomb to bomb.

Gail pouted and began to reload the paralysis round.

"Wait"

Ah Jian opened his mouth.

From a scholar's point of view, he didn't want the hunters to go all the way like this, as the creatures in the Valley of Miasma were generally irritable and aggressive, and they couldn't finish killing them at all.

But the Miserable Claw Dragon had already jumped in front of them, and it would be troublesome to stop it and interfere with the hunters' battles.

Noticing his reaction, Gordon thought for a moment, gave the shooters a "pause" gesture, pulled out a flashbang, and threw it before the clawed dragon could attack.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the bright light and vertigo, the hunters quickly evacuated the scene.

But they didn't run all the way with their heads covered, and the chaotic effect caused by the flashbang could last for more than ten seconds at most, which was not enough time to run far, and the sound of fast-running footsteps was easy to attract the attention of the Miserable Claw Dragon and even the other monsters around it.

So after running a short distance, they found a rock to cover and hid.

Annoyed by the clawed dragon that had regained its sight but lost its target, it roared and spun around in place.

In fact, with the keen sense of smell of the Miserable Clawed Dragon, it was not difficult to find the route of the hunters' departure, but the scattered corpses and the strong smell of blood interfered with its judgment.

It doesn't seem to matter so much where the "two-legged creatures" fled.

After calming down, it picked up a piece of the pterodactyl's corpse and chewed on it.

The clawed dragon ate very quickly, and after quickly biting and swallowing a large amount of meat, it picked up a large piece of the corpse, looked left and right, and walked away quickly.

The group came out from behind the rocks where they were hiding.

Ah Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Miserable Claw Dragon is a typical one who is not afraid, even if it encounters a monster whose ecological niche is much higher than it, it will not hesitate to pounce on it, and it is very grudgeful, it is best to avoid fighting." ”

"The ecological niche is much higher than that of the Miserable Clawed Dragon?" Gordon questioned.

Most of the time, the level of a monster's ecological niche is directly proportional to its danger rating, but it is not absolute, let alone equated.

Just like the tailed hammer dragon, the danger level is 5 stars, but the ecological niche is not high.

As a predator, the Miserable Clawed Dragon, due to its size and other reasons, has a danger rating of four stars, but its ecological niche is close to its peak.

"Well, one time, after Mr. Mecca explored the core area of the Valley of Miasma, he submitted a sighting report of the Miserable Claw Dragon actively attacking the Corpse Sleeve Dragon."

Hayata's eyes widened, and even though she was wearing goggles, no one could read her expression clearly.

"Take the initiative to attack the ancient dragon species?!"

"Yes, maybe it's because the corpse is covered in carrion, and it looks delicious." Ah Jian laughed and joked.

The hunters couldn't laugh a little.

Anhill withdrew the crossbow from the crossbow chamber and put it back in place, "Is there any way to avoid those monsters affected by the miasma, this kind of action is too inefficient." ”

Ah Jian thought for a moment and nodded, "It was my mistake, in the past, I acted alone and walked around carefully in an invisibility cloak, so it's okay."

But this time we have too many people and too many targets, so it is indeed easy to be the target of those small monster attacks.

It may be more efficient to take a long detour. ”

"What's a risky detour?" Gordon raised interest.

"Well, how do you explain this, let's just put it this way, aside from the edge areas, the Valley of Miasma can be roughly divided into three layers on the plane.

The lowest level is underground, where there are sulfuric acid springs everywhere, and the scenery is beautiful, but there are few living things.

The middle layer is the valley floor where we are now, which is dense with miasma, but the terrain is relatively flat, and most of the creatures in the miasma valley inhabit it.

The upper level has to climb up, and it is composed of large rock platforms, vines, and mycelial fibers, and the terrain is rugged, but you can see a little sunlight falling through the terrestrial coral platform, so there are a small number of herbaceous plants, and there is no miasma distribution."

"Sounds good, at least better than this hellish place, so why don't we start out on the upper floors?" Gail asked, holding his arms together.

"Because it's too dangerous!" Ah Jian said solemnly.

"Over there is the territory of many large monsters, the Miserable Claw Dragon, the Bone Hammer Dragon. Uh, wait, doesn't seem too dangerous to you guys? ”

Four high-ranking hunters stared at him.

Ah Jian, who felt that he was going to be beaten, folded his hands and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've got a bit of a fixed mindset, and we scholars generally deliberately avoid the upper echelons when we act."

Gordon used to trying to pinch the corners of his eyes, but he found that he was wearing goggles, so he could only give up, "Think about it carefully, is there anything else to pay attention to in the upper echelons?" ”

"Oh yes, this is true, when it comes to the formation of the upper layer of the Miasma Valley, we have to focus on the creature of the Lower Hammer Dragon, which is the object of our vigilance when we move in the upper layer."

"A subspecies of Hammerblaster?" Anhill asked.

"No, no, no, the two may be closely related, but due to the huge differences in living environment, diet and habits, the academic community regards them as two species.

The bones of the Miasma Valley feed on the bones that can be found everywhere in the Valley of Miasma, and they have a special flora in their guts that helps them absorb the nutrients from the bones.

Like Hammerblasters, they like to curl up and roll like tires, and they secrete a very sticky black oil.

As they rolled, the black oil spread all over the upper layers of the Valley of Miasma.

The mycelial blanket grows on the black oil, which also acts as an adhesive between the mycelium and the vines, which bind to each other and form a pathway between the originally separated stone platforms.

As the Bone Hammers rolled over the years, these 'roads' grew stronger and wider, almost like man-made roads. ”

"Isn't that good?" Hayatta asked, "On that kind of road, it should be easy to move." ”

"It's really convenient, and it's not easy to get lost, but it's a little bad."

Ah Jian grabbed the pigtails at the back of his head, "Walking on those 'avenues', you must be ready to pass by and run over your face at any time."

Also, since those roads were rolled out by the Bone Hammer Dragon's body, the width of the road was just about the same width as the Bone Hammer Dragon's body, like a minecart and railroad tracks.

Coupled with the messy bone spurs that stuck to the body of the Bone Hammer Dragon, even if it was close to the edge of the road, it would sometimes take a heavy hit.

Therefore, you must always be careful, and if you hear the sound of something heavy rolling approaching, you must immediately look for a place to hide. ”

Gordon frowned.

The hammer dragon weighs more than 100 tons, and the bone hammer dragon as its close relative is afraid that it is about the same, and such a roll can only be dodged and unstoppable, if it is really run over in front of the face, the scene will be more ugly.

"How do you say, go to the top, or continue to go to the bottom?" Anhill looked at Gordon.

Gordon pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Go to the upper floor, our goal is to investigate the core area, it is not a way to kill all the way from the bottom, it is a waste of physical strength."

Pandan, gale, you always pay attention to the movement, and if you hear an abnormal noise, you can warn at any time. ”

Ps. Hammer Bone is not a subspecies of Hammer Blaster, but it has the same ancestor, there are Bone Hammer Dragons and Hammer Dragons in the New World, and there are only Hammer Dragons in the Old World, so scholars speculate that it is the special environment of the Miasma Valley that creates this special species.
