Chapter 1065: Heat Dissipation Organs
Gordon lowered the tip of his sword, allowing the blade of [Epitaph] to come into contact with a red-hot raised rock.
There was no special reaction to the epitaph.
Gordon raised his greatsword with both hands, then slashed it into the half-molten block of rock, which was almost completely sliced open, but there was still no special feedback.
It looks like it's just an ordinary rock.
Gordon reluctantly pulled out his greatsword and shook it twice, shaking off some of the sticky magma on it, and the little remaining could only be disposed of after he returned.
Anhill walked over.
"Did you find anything?" Gordon asked, looking at him.
Anhill shook his head, "Compared to the daytime, where there is only lava flowing in deep rock crevices, there are many relatively soft parts of the molten mountain dragon's body now, after all, they are all semi-molten stone, and crossbow shells can also drill into it."
But no one knows how thick these stones are, and the attack has little effect. ”
Gordon glanced at the half-molten rock that had just been cut at his feet, and now the sword marks had gradually disappeared, and his mood couldn't help but sink a little, "Continue to scout, you must find the weak point." ”
If you can't find the part where the attack will work, you can only pin all your hopes on the large number of explosives planted in the Grand Canyon.
Truth be told, those explosives alone shouldn't be able to repel the molten dragons.
"Hey! Come here, there's something to be discovered here! Alva's voice could be heard in the distance.
Gordon Anhill glanced at each other and ran quickly, and Mitt and Samron hurried over.
In comparison to the human skeletal structure, Alva is standing at the junction of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae of the molten mountain dragon.
There are rows of towering rock ridges with an average height of more than twenty meters, like small mountains, stretching from the neck of the molten mountain dragon to its tail.
"What did you find?" Before he could get to Alva, Gordon couldn't wait to ask.
Alva stared at the row of ridges, "Have you noticed these ridges?" ”
"Nonsense!" Gordon said angrily: "How can you not notice it when it is so conspicuous, but I have tried it a long time ago, these are all stones, stones that are not as thick as words!" ”
"These are no ordinary stones," Alva said with a mysterious smile on her face.
Gordon glared at him, "What's the sale, if you find it, say it quickly!" Grind and chirp again, and tell Lania that you hook up with the little girl! ”
“.” The smile on Alva's face collapsed.
As a member of the Scribes and the Institute of Dracosis, he has long been accustomed to the way scholars communicate, encountering the unknown, putting forward conjectures, and arguing with each other.
But the hunter is different, the hunter will only ask you "where to cut?" ”。
After finishing his words, Alva pointed to the rock ridges in front of everyone, "These rock ridges are not a single unit, but they are segmented, otherwise it would not have been able to move. ”
The hunters nodded, which was easy to understand, like any creature with a backbone, the vertebrae are cut one by one.
"Look here, there's a very clear crack in it, and there's magma seeping out of it." Alvar paused and continued, "There are a lot of rock crevices with magma flowing on the molten mountain dragon's body, and I didn't care about it at first.
But pay attention, when the molten mountain dragon steps, this stone crack will obviously expand, which means that this is not a crack, but a joint of two rock ridges, like a gap between the vertebrae. ”
Everyone stared at the crack in the stone.
Sure enough, in that almost minute-bound pace, the gap opened a little, but as the Molten Mountain Dragon fell, it closed again.
In the few seconds, hunters staring at the crevice noticed that deep in the fissure between the two ridges of rock stood a cone-shaped object as red as boiling magma.
At the moment when I saw the sharp cone, a wave of heat that could almost roast people came to my face.
No one needed to explain anything, and everyone immediately realized that that was what they were looking for.
"There must be more than one heat dissipation organ! Start looking along the ridge and you'll definitely find more places to mark the location in detail! ”
Gordon quickly ordered, "Mit, Samron, you two find the other two groups of people as soon as possible, and let them help find them together!" ”
"Yes!"
With a clear search for directions, the hunters moved quickly.
Gordon and the others bypassed the volcano in the middle of the molten dragon's back, and soon found a second red-hot cone in a hidden pit at the foot of the volcano.
Unlike previous discoveries, this one is open-air.
This made the hunters even more excited, and it was undoubtedly more convenient to attack the heat dissipation organs without the protection of the rock ridge.
"It's strange that I was here when I was scouting before, but I was here at the time. is flat. Anhill was a little puzzled.
He felt that he should be not mistaken, after all, these heat dissipation organs that emitted a blazing red light were too conspicuous to be missed.
Alva looked stunned.
He held out five fingers at Anhill, pointed to his own fingers, and then pressed them together.
Anhill immediately understood what he meant, pinched his chin and said, "You mean, this pit can be opened and closed like the previous crack?"
When I came around here before, it was closed, so I didn't notice, but now, it's open.
This does explain it, but why hasn't it been opened until now"
Anhil, who remembered something, looked up suddenly, "Due to the unknown stimulus, the behavior of the molten mountain dragon has become active, so the need for heat dissipation has increased, so the heat dissipation port has been opened?!" ”
"That's right." Alva nodded and said, "There should be a lot of heat dissipation organs on the Molten Mountain Dragon's body, this is its weak point, and it will naturally be protected by layers of carapace and rocks.
It only unfolds when it needs to dissipate heat, like the one we just saw, sandwiched between the ridges.
Moreover, according to the available information, the molten mountain dragon can stand up on its hind limbs, perhaps in different postures, the position of the exposed heat dissipation organs is also different.
Just like when you sit, the inside of the knee is hidden, but when you stand up, the knee is revealed. ”
Gordon was in high spirits, "All in all, the heat dissipation organ has been found, and when we confirm the location of the other heat dissipation organs, we can plan to launch an offensive operation!"
Having said that, shouldn't we try it first, attacking the effect of the heat dissipation organs? ”
Gordon gripped the hilt of his sword and looked like he wanted to jump into the pit and slash a few times.
Anhill hurriedly pulled it back, "Don't worry, the temperature in the pit is very high, and there is magma splashing, and it is a little dangerous to cut with a sword."
And we can't be sure how much the Molten Mountain Dragon will react to attacking the radiator tube.
Try again when you're ready to evacuate, and I'll shoot a supernova to see if I can blow this heat dissipation organ to pieces. ”
"Whoop——!
As he spoke, as if to prove his danger, a large area of golden-red magma erupted from the cone-shaped heat dissipation organ, and scorching rock steam rose, and the surrounding temperature instantly rose a lot.
Gordon chuckled dryly and removed his hand from the hilt of his sword.
Even he didn't really want to chop up this lava-spewing thing.
But at this moment, a vague but familiar phrase "it!" came from afar. ”。
"Boom ——!"
After a few short seconds, the ground shook violently, and the molten mountain dragon slowly rose to its feet with a low roar like a roar.
"That guy!" Gordon cursed secretly, and then raised his voice: "The molten mountain dragon is angry, evacuate!" ”
Alva immediately released a flare symbolizing the evacuation command, and the acid pterosaur swooped down, leading them away from the angry volcano.
