Upon arriving at the camp in the northern part of the Great Anthill Wasteland, Gordon immediately organized a meeting of the group.

He felt that he was contagious by the commander-in-chief, but such a meeting was really necessary.

Without beating around the bush, Gordon used the most concise and straightforward language to convey the current battle plan and the primary goal of finding the weakness of the molten dragon.

"Heat dissipation organs?" Anhill pondered for a moment, then raised his hand, "I have a suggestion to have an experienced compiler join the investigation.

Gail and I had just finished a reconnaissance expedition, and to be honest, the danger wasn't that high, and the only thing to watch out for was the hovering sour pterosaurs.

The compilers have a much richer knowledge of biology than we do, and with their guidance, we don't wander around without direction. ”

"I support this proposal!"

"I support it too!"

Alva, the glasses man, and Sophia, the glasses girl, spoke in unison, very excited.

Gordon thought for a moment, and considering that there were pterosaurs, the codifiers could evacuate at any time if they were in danger, so he nodded in agreement.

Next, the hunters began to exchange information and discuss the specific process of reconnaissance.

There are no novices who can be selected for the investigation team and come to the New World, and everyone has more or less carried out reconnaissance missions, but it is really the first time that they have encountered a situation of climbing on the back of a monster for reconnaissance.

In the past few days, I have scouted several rounds of high-ranking hunters and shared their experience with you.

For example, you should bring enough cold drinks, such as being ready at any time, and deal with the situation that the flat road becomes a cliff under the change of the molten mountain dragon's movements.

The discussion of tactics was not confined to the upper hunters, and with Gordon's encouragement, the young hunters and codifiers began to express their opinions.

Soon, Feng Ying's partner Ai Bo made a very interesting suggestion.

- Abandon daytime reconnaissance and switch to nighttime reconnaissance.

Few hunters think in this direction, and in their minds, night often means danger, cold, impaired vision, decreased perception, and easy to get lost

Among them, the risk can be said to be more or less.

Even if the sun goes down in the middle of the hunt, the hunters have to think carefully about whether they should return to camp first instead of risking a night fight.

However, the situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Many of the shortcomings of night operations seem to be no longer shortcomings when it comes to reconnoitring molten dragons.

The most basic point is temperature.

Due to drought and sunshine, the temperature in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland during the day is very high, and it is natural to feel unbearable heat when you climb the "active volcano" of the Molten Mountain Dragon, which is literally an "active volcano".

There will be no such problems at night.

Although the temperature difference between day and night in the Great Ant Mound Desert is not as exaggerated as that of the Great Desert, it will fall to freezing point or something at night, but it is only a dozen degrees, very cool, and it will even be a little cold if you wear less.

At this time, it is estimated that it will still feel hot when landing on the Molten Mountain Dragon, but there is a high probability that it will not affect the normal operation.

Also, when the ambient temperature is low, it should be easier to find the heat dissipation mechanism.

Then there's the problem of sour pterosaur harassment.

In the past few days, when the upper hunters approached the molten mountain dragon, they were all attacked by the acid pterodactyl.

Of course, hunters have the ability to protect themselves, but if they take the codifiers with them, it will be somewhat dangerous.

If you scout at night, there will be much less trouble in this regard, after all, the sour pterosaurs are diurnal, and they are basically dormant after nightfall, as long as you are careful, you will not alarm them.

As for the biggest risk of operating at night - being ambushed by monsters, there is no need to worry.

The upper hunters had confirmed in their previous reconnaissance that there were no other monsters living on the back of the molten mountain dragon, so there was no need to worry about suddenly rolling out of the red-armored beast or something.

On the whole, the advantages of conducting the reconnaissance operation against the molten mountain dragon at night far outweigh the disadvantages.

Immediately afterwards, Gordon and the others discussed and confirmed the list of hunters who would take turns to scout in the next period of time.

Seeing that there was no one on the list, Jean jumped out, "Why didn't you add the old. We? Let's go too! ”

Gordon glanced at the bandages on his body that had not yet been removed, and the meaning was self-evident.

"The wound has long been healed! They won't let us remove the bandages! Jean took off his shirt and ripped off the bandages on his body, revealing several pitted wounds the size of a coin to the thickness of his wrist.

These are all caused by the bone thorns that the dragon shoots.

In the past few days, with the efforts of Xianglan, the wounds on Jean's body have basically healed, but some blood scabs have not yet fallen off.

Jean grabbed the blood scabs and tore a few pieces of skin with them, and blood oozed from the new pink flesh.

Pandan angrily jumped onto the table and kicked Jean in the face, "It's meowing, it's infected!" ”

Jean looked indifferent, and in his opinion, these small breaches were not even injuries.

Looking at Jean, who was naked and scarred and had a stubborn expression, Gordon waved his hand helplessly, "If you add one, I will add you one, and get off to the medicine." ”

"Hey, hey!" Jean smirked at Pandan and prepared to find his armor.

Gordon stopped him, "Come back!" Tyrannosaurus armor is not allowed. ”

"Why!" Jean's eyes widened, and he shouted back.

Gordon glared back, "It's all broken like that, still wearing?" Find Isana and ask her to fix it for you. ”

"Oh, it's ready to wear when it's fixed, right?"

"No, it's forbidden to use it until you learn to suppress the breath of that set of equipment!"

The molten mountain dragon is slow, giving people a gentle and sluggish feeling, but it is also an ancient dragon species, and it can ignore a few people on its back, purely when it is a few ants.

But if you find a tyrannosaur-like thing crawling up on your back, who knows how it will react?

And then there's the unaccounted for dragon slayer

Under Gordon's stern glare, Jean looked away and muttered, "But we don't have any other armor to use." ”

"Hey, hey, you can wear a guard suit." Aiden grinned and put his elbow on Jean's shoulder.

Jean's face darkened, "Lao Tzu doesn't have a defense team." ”

Feng Ying frowned, and put her elbow on his other shoulder, "It's okay, let's bring you a set from Xingchen."

Our recommendation group is to be neat, ahahahaha! ”

At this moment, on the far other side of the New World.

In the depths of the leyline corridor, in a huge underground cavern full of crystalline pillars, the glowing blue light lit up and down as regularly as breathing.

The source of the light is a huge and exaggerated "cocoon" surrounded by countless magnificent crystals.

"Knock knock. Boom."

The sound of a heavy, powerful heartbeat sounded from inside the cocoon, and the flickering light in the cavern became more rapid and brighter.

Invisible fluctuations originate from the cocoon and spread.

This wave penetrates crystals and rock formations, through canyons and mountains, and spreads outward and again.

It is like an invisible and insubstantial wind, awakening countless ancient beings from sleep, and it is even across thousands of kilometers of space, blowing through the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, and blowing the slow-paced molten mountain dragon.

The molten dragon opened its dim eyes, which had almost lost their luster of life, and its body trembled, letting out a dull roar like an earthquake.

The pace of it has quickened a bit.

Ps.

The "calling" of the Dark Lantern Dragon can attract the ancient dragon is an official design, but the specific manifestation is not specified.

In the game, I was just attracted to change direction (lost in the leyline corridor)

The fact that the molten mountain dragon here has become active and accelerated its pace because of the "calling" is not in the official setting, and it belongs to the second extension setting.
