Chapter 1210: Behemoth
Fixed hunting groups composed entirely of high-ranking hunters are extremely rare.
After all, it takes a long time for any tacit team to be formed.
Individual talent and strength, the compatibility between members, the configuration of the team, and even luck, none of them can be missing.
Take silver edges, for example.
During the years before Feng Ying came to the New World, the three of Gordon often collaborated with other high-ranking hunters.
But no one can really replace Feng Ying as a new member of Yinbian.
Including Gail, who later married Anhill.
The "fit" in this is always one layer worse, they are like puzzles that have already been formed, and they are always not so complete when they are set with another piece.
Therefore, even in this "golden age" where young and strong people are emerging in batches, the upper hunting groups of the old and new continents combined can only reach double digits.
Every high-level hunting group is an extremely valuable existence.
As the only two fixed high-ranking hunting groups in the New World Investigation Group, there is still a gap between the strength of the alcohol hunting group and Yinbian.
But the configuration of a seven-star spear envoy, a seven-star insect stick envoy, and a six-star light crossbow envoy can be called an absolute trump card in Dongdoruma.
When "Silver Edge" was famous all over the world, it was only to such an extent.
To be able to force such a team into a desperate situation where the entire army was almost wiped out, the strength of the "terrifying beast" that appeared in the land of dragon crystallization can be imagined.
As soon as he got the news, the commander-in-chief summoned Gordon and the others.
The immediate priority is to get to the Land of the Dragon's Crystal, provide emergency treatment to the members of the alcohol team, and bring them safely back to the Star Stronghold to recuperate.
Now that the alcohol has suffered a group annihilation, the team that may successfully complete this task is only silver-edged.
"The Purple Behemoth is capable of destroying alcohol, and your team is not complete, so avoid fighting as much as possible.
Bringing the wounded back safely is your only mission, and the investigation and hunt for the mysterious beasts is the next step.
You can't be impulsive, you know? The commander-in-chief repeatedly emphasized.
"Understood, we'll set off on a pterodactyl right away." Gordon nodded, fast.
"No, you can't rush it, it takes time to prepare the airboat, you guys will set off by airboat tomorrow morning." The commander-in-chief said solemnly: "I know that you have a good relationship, but the more times like this, the more you need to calm down." ”
Seeing that Anhill was impatiently about to say something, the commander-in-chief stopped him with his eyes, "They were brought back to the station by the Odd-Faced Clan, and their situation is quite safe now.
What's more, even the sour pterosaur can't fly you to the land of dragon crystals in one go, and you can't take the pterosaur to eat it.
Not only is it dangerous to enter the land of dragon crystals in a state of fatigue, but you want Ted, who is seriously injured and unconscious, to also return in a pterodactyl?
If you take an airboat, you will be able to recharge your batteries on the airboat, and I will have a professional doctor accompany you, so that it will be easier to transport and treat the wounded. ”
Anhill kept her mouth shut.
I have to admit that the arrangement of the commander-in-chief is more appropriate.
Counting the necessary rest time on the road, it may not be faster to set off on a pterodactyl now than by airboat tomorrow morning.
I was anxious to prepare for my departure.
For this so-called purple beast, Gordon and the others naturally remembered the discovery made by scholars in ancient ruins a few months ago.
They went to Alva's house to find out more about him.
However, he learned from Lania that Alva left the stronghold on a pterodactyl as soon as he heard that the alcohol team had encountered a purple giant beast, and he didn't know where he went.
Gordon and others had no choice but to find other scholars first, trying to piece together useful information, such as attributes, weaknesses, and so on.
But in the end, the information I got was more mysterious than the other.
It's just a matter of summoning thunder, and a unicorn can also summon thunder, but "waving claws to explode the earth", "setting off a tornado that reaches the sky with a snort", "summoning a world-destroying zodiacal meteorite" or something, it's hard not to doubt the authenticity of these messages.
It has been common since ancient times to worship powerful creatures as gods or fear them as demons, and to exaggerate and deify them.
How much is true and how much is exaggerated, who can tell?
After asking around, the only thought of the three Gordons was.
No matter how true that information is, I only hope that the "purple beast" that Ted encountered is not the "terrifying monster" in the records of ancient civilizations.
That thing might be even more outrageous than an ancient dragon
However, Alva, who had barely made it back to the Stellar Stronghold in the middle of the night, shattered that hope.
Like Gordon and the others, the first time he learned of the "Purple Behemoth" infestation, he also remembered the "World-Destroying Monster" depicted in the inscriptions and murals in the ruins.
So he immediately rushed to the ruins located under the Great Ant Tomb Wasteland with a pterodactyl, and wasted a lot of effort to remove the stones that sealed the entrance and enter the stone chamber.
The inexplicably shattered crystals on the altar prove many things.
The logic may not be rigorous, but for the hunters, it is enough to dispel some luck in their hearts.
After a day and a night of going back and forth, Alvar, who was almost out of strength, pulled Gordon and kept emphasizing.
"Don't ignore the message, in my experience, the grammar of the inscriptions is not so much like an ethereal myth, but more like a warning to future generations.
The unicorn can summon thunder, the steel dragon can set off the tornado, the flame king dragon can explode the earth, and even the seemingly most unlikely ability to summon meteorites can be done by the snake king dragon in the records of ancient documents.
If the information in the ruins is true, what you are about to face will be an unprecedented and powerful enemy that combines a variety of ancient dragon abilities.
Any chance or negligence can cost you your life."
The disastrous defeat of the alcohol squad and Alva's warnings forced the three of Gordon to prepare for the worst.
In addition to the preparation of armor weapons, various potions, and props, Hayatta even specially approached Gael and solemnly asked the latter to take care of Muti for them if they had an accident.
So angry that Gail couldn't help but pinch her several times.
Before dawn came, the airship had finally completed all the preparations before departure.
Under the uneasy gaze of everyone, Gordon and his party boarded the airship and headed towards the land of the dragon's crystal.
After three days and two nights of flying, the airship finally arrived at the Land of the Dragon's Crystallization and hovered in a relatively safe mountain col.
According to fellow Babaca, this place is only four or five kilometers away from the Odd-Face Clan residence that houses the alcohol trio.
It wasn't sure exactly where it would go, after all, it had ventured out of the air when it was on its way to the stars.
If the airship continues to move forward, it is likely to attract the attention of the ancient dragons who inhabit the core area of the Dragon Crystal Land, adding to the risk, and the next road can only rely on walking.
Rejecting the doctor's suggestion to act together, Gordon and his party slid down the rope and landed on the ground.
Pork Chop looked at the sky and said worriedly: "Do you really want to act at night?" ”
"Hmm." Gordon's expression was calm, "The purpose of this trip is not to fight, but to rescue."
The darkness of the night can affect our vision, but it will also be our cover.
According to the plan, avoid open areas and move through as small caves and tunnels as possible to reduce the chance of encountering that monster.
Oh yes, it's time to call it 'Behemoth'. ”
Hayatta lifted her hat-like helmet and looked out at the mountains that rose and fell like beasts in the night.
"Behemoth, the 'Beast of the Swarm'"
