(The previous chapter was modified, and Gail's Helmet of the Armored Dragon S was changed to the Kirin S Headgear, because this time it was a attribute bullet and I almost forgot)

Hunters collected some snow from the footprints left by the icetooth dragon and placed them in the guide cage to extract the scent information.

Then put on a stealth suit and cautiously head towards the canyon.

Bypassing a rock wall and entering the canyon pass, the scene in the frozen canyon made everyone breathe a cool breath.

Spectacular? Or scary? They didn't know how to describe what was happening in front of them.

At this moment, even Hayatta, who came with the most utilitarian purpose, had the urge to turn around and retreat.

Wind Drifting Dragons - A colony of large wyverns, just looking at the literal sound can already make people's scalps tingle.

And when you see it all in person, it's a very different feeling.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least twenty Wind Drifters in motion.

Some of them spread their wings like kites, and they floated and played in the air currents of the canyon.

Some of them tore at the snow deer and winter pterosaurs brought back from hunting.

The leftover bones were already covered with the ground, and if the temperature was not too low to decay, the smell in the canyon would not be good.

There were two heads fluttering and wrestling together, and I didn't know if they were playing or competing for position.

There are even special "sentinels" who crouch on the top of the iceberg like an owl, patrolling everything in the canyon.

These weren't pterosaurs or snakes, they were all wyverns, large wyverns standing at the top of an ecosystem!

Imagine dozens of fiery dragons occupying a mountain and flying and playing, or dozens of ceratosaurs gathering in a sandy oasis and rampage.

It's a nightmare.

As the captain of this team, Hayatta decisively ordered to find the entrance and enter the cave as soon as possible.

On one side is the lone Ice Tooth Dragon, and on the other side is a group of Wind Drifting Dragons, and Gale knows how to choose.

Covered by stealth clothing, they have not yet been spotted by the sentries.

But at this time, no one dares to be careless.

All of them did their best to slow down, suppress their breath, and move against the rock wall at the edge of the canyon, hoping that the rock wall would block out some of their view from the air.

The operation was not going well, and after a few minutes of entering the canyon, they found a passage into the interior of the mountain and underground.

The bad news is that near the entrance of the passage, a wind drifter is feasting, biting at the corpse of a frozen winter wing.

To enter the cave, you must pass in front of it.

The invisibility suit is very easy to use, but their group of cats and dogs, Wind Drifter is blind, and he can always detect some abnormalities.

Hiding in a rock hollow, the hunter whispered an exchange of opinions and decided to use flashbangs.

Compared to discovering an intruder, it should be easier for the Wind Drifter to calm down when encountering a sudden unknown bright light but not finding an enemy?

Just as Hayatta was about to pull out a flashbang, a cat's paw pressed her hand.

It's sandstone.

It says it has a way to calm the hunters.

Looking left and right, Sandstone chose an open area some distance from the entrance of the cave and ran silently.

The trap box for the provocative dummy was placed, and it quickly burrowed into the ground.

A claw sticks out of the hole and activates the trap.

Inflatable dummies made of soft leather "Bang! The ground popped out, swaying from side to side, and the bells hanging on it kept making a screeching sound.

Immediately, several Wind Drifters noticed the anomaly and swooped down with a scream.

Wind Drifter, who was squatting near the entrance of the cave to eat, also put down the food in front of him for the time being and rushed over.

Their actions caught the attention of more Wind Drifters, and the shrill howls and the sound of dragon wings churning the air resounded through the frozen canyon.

Sandstone's strategy is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to give the Wind Drifters a target to attack, attract their attention, and when the provocative dummies are torn to pieces, the Wind Drifters will naturally calm down.

Hayatta and the others also took this opportunity to rush into the interior of the cave.

That way, at least you don't have to worry about being besieged by a large group of Wind Drifters.

Sandstone also emerged from the ground and returned to the team.

"Well done!"

Sandstone didn't like to be touched, so Gale patted the devil muscle cat on the back, "It's just a bit of a dummy, how many dummies did you bring?" ”

"Just a meow."

"Then how are we going to get out then?"

"I don't know about meow."

The corners of Gail's eyes twitched, "You're so reasonable." ”

"The air in the cave is not dull, and there is also air flu, which means that the ventilation is good, there must be other entrances and exits, look for it." Alva smiled and said, "Maybe you can go straight out of the valley?" ”

"Hopefully."

"It seems that this is indeed the territory of the Ice Tooth Dragon." Hayatta walked towards a boulder near the entrance to a cave with a conspicuous claw mark on it.

It's not the kind of footprints that are left unintentionally, but "boundary markers" that mark the boundaries of the territory.

There is also some pungent smell remaining

Hayatta took some samples and placed them in the guide cage, which suddenly became much brighter.

If the ice-toothed dragon is nearby, the guide worm will react immediately.

She nodded in satisfaction and said to everyone, "Let's rest." ”

Coming to a relatively safe environment, the worm who had been holding back for a long time finally couldn't help but speak, "Has anyone seen Xiao Zi you?" Didn't find it for me."

The others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Alva thought for a moment and said, "There are several possibilities, I just went out to forage for food, so I didn't meet it."

Or, it lives in other communities, after all, there are more than one of them who have migrated to the Permafrost.

Possibly. Because of his different color, he was rejected by the tribe and wandered alone in the ice field. ”

After a pause, Alva continued, "In my opinion, the probability of it being driven out of the group is the highest.

Wind Drifter is extremely territorial, and is a very xenophobic wyvern race, and heterochromatic individuals are likely to be identified as 'outsiders' and therefore expelled.

It is likely that its mother appeared in the Ancient Tree Forest for similar reasons. ”

Moths pursed her lips and nodded.

Seeing that Frog was depressed, Alva comforted: "Actually, if you want me to say, for Xiao Zi, being expelled from the clan is the best outcome. ”

"Why do you say that?" Gail asked curiously.

"Social creatures generally have a strict class stratification, with the powerful enjoying the best food and the weak being oppressed.

As an 'outlier', it is almost impossible for Xiao Zi not to be excluded from the group.

And it is an individual raised under the careful care of the worm, the foundation is very good, the development is far better than the wind drifter that survives in the wild, and the body size is larger and stronger than the individual of the same age.

In other words, he's a powerful guy too. ”

"Of course! Very powerful little purple but! The worm said proudly: "As soon as it hatched, I began to feed it specially formulated nutrients!" ”

Alva didn't know what to say for a moment, "Uh, is it so exquisite?" Okay, let's get back to business.

Therefore, if it stays in the group, it will be constantly suppressed by the superiors, and it has the ability to resist, and it is estimated that battles will break out from time to time.

Injuries and snatching food are common occurrences. ”

Hearing this, the frog immediately became tearful.

Alva shrugged, "That's why I said that being expelled from the group and surviving alone is the best situation.

It is no longer a 'baby', and although it is not yet fully developed and mature, it is already a large wyvern in the true sense of the word, and has no natural predators in this ice field.

You've taught you how to hunt and build nests, right? ”

"Uh-huh! Of course! ”

"Then there's nothing to worry about, maybe in a few more years, it will grow into an extreme individual with a body length of more than twenty meters.

Then go back to the clan, kill the leader, and replace it or something."

"Oh, this sounds familiar!" Gail clapped his hands and laughed.

"What a common drama in picture books!"
