Pandan instructed her companions to disperse and advance in the direction of the Great Lava Lake, searching.

A certain distance from each other can not only expand the search area, avoid missing important clues, but also reduce the probability of being noticed by monsters.

Pandan landed on all fours, running, running through a pile of rubble.

Similar gravel is not uncommon in molten mountain canyons.

The geological structure of the Grand Canyon is special, and the geological changes in the formation process are too drastic, which makes the strata in the area where the Grand Canyon is located thinner.

The big explosion of the molten mountain dragon before his death, shattered, and exploded the earth's crust within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, and magma poured onto the surface, thus creating this scorching world.

Two full years have passed since that explosion, and magma continues to pour out of cracks in the earth's crust, stacking on top of each other to form semi-solidified clumps of lava.

Some of these lava blocks will gradually cool down, forming some strange shapes, large and small boulders, and the larger ones may even be piled up into mountains.

Others, due to various reasons such as shape and lava composition, will be crushed from the inside by the subsequent lava gushing out and blown into rubble.

Pandan didn't care, she just wanted to get through the gravel area as soon as possible.

After all, this place has been bombed once, and it is not surprising to blow it up again.

But there was something familiar to Xianglan that made it sniffle.

It's kind of like. The smell of pork chops?

To be precise, it's the smell of slime mold bombs that pork chops often carry on their bodies.

Wait, the slime fungus bomb is used, it seems to be the same ancient slime meow as the broken dragon?

Xianglan hurriedly stopped and looked back at the pile of rubble.

It had always trusted its instincts and luck, which told it that the pile of rubble did not break up naturally, and that luck would rule out other possibilities for it.

So, this must be the meow of the broken dragon!

This way of judging is too nonsense, and if the pork chop is here, it will definitely be rewarded with a few paws first.

But now it's the captain!

"Meow meow!" Pandan meows loudly, calling out to her companions scattered nearby.

It didn't take long for the mushrooms to gather around Xianglan.

Xianglan pointed to the pile of rubble, "It's the meow that exploded and broke the dragon." ”

Its tone is overconfident, like pointing to a red dragon and saying that it is a male, and there is an air that asks "why" will make it appear ignorant.

Chestnut and Mangosteen glanced at each other, a little hesitant in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak.

Only the studious mushroom didn't care about this, and asked with sparkling eyes: "Teacher Xianglan, how do you seem to see this meow?" ”

Pandan raised her head, "There is a residual smell of ancient slime molds after the explosion, and the pork chops will use this slime mold to make explosive meows, and they can often smell this meow." ”

"I see!" The mushroom struggles to smell and learns to distinguish smells like pandan.

The chestnut and the boar also showed a sudden expression at the same time.

For the team's Ailu, the name "pork chop" was particularly convincing.

Although there is no logical connection between the two, they are believable as long as they hear that they are related to pork chops.

In front of the other three cats, Xianglan confidently took out a small and delicate guide insect cage, and said ostentatiously: "The guide worm in this is the meow that Hayata gave to her puppet."

Let me show you the gold content of the guide worms cultivated by the upper hunters! ”

As he spoke, it picked up a small piece of gravel with a slight smell of slime fungus explosion and put it into the guide insect cage, which was bright and dark, apparently extracting some kind of breath.

If you put ordinary gravel, there will be no such reaction.

Xianglan was full of confidence, and waved her paws at the three cats gathered around the insect guide cage, "Look at meow!" The course chosen by chance is absolutely correct meow! Keep going, keep searching! ”

The area of the Molten Mountain Canyon is naturally incomparable to the millions of square kilometers of ancient tree forests.

In less than a night, the hunting cats searched all the way from the outer area of the Lava Canyon to the core of the Great Lava Lake.

Along the way, they found several traces left by the Explosive Dragon.

Most of these traces were found by Pandan, who had a sharper sense of smell than the usual Ellu, allowing it to always find the places where the ancient slime mushrooms had exploded.

And the presence of these explosion marks made the hunting cats more and more convinced that this fierce explosive crusher had gone crazy.

Nature is a cruel place, especially in resource-poor barren areas like the Lava Mountain Canyon.

Whether it's a large monster or an inconspicuous critter, they will conserve their stamina and energy as much as possible.

Take, for example, the Booming Dragon, which also haunts volcanic areas.

The dragon is notoriously aggressive, but even the dragon will not attack the mountain or the stone meaninglessly.

Even if you occasionally grind your teeth on the rock wall, you won't destroy a rock mountain that is several times larger than your own size just to grind your teeth, right?

But this beast will explode the Dragon Shatterer.

None of the traces they found were creature corpses, almost all of them were shattered boulders, rock walls, and even large areas of the ground.

There is no purpose, just a brutal and random use of violence.

Xianglan has also experienced a lot with everyone in Yinbian, and has never found similar habits in any kind of monster.

As for why he took rocks and rock walls, instead of other creatures to vent his anger.

Pandan has a bad guess.

Since entering the Lava Mountain Canyon at night, they have not found any traces of a large monster.

Not even large monsters, not even small monsters such as assault dragons and herbivorous dragons, which should be extremely widely distributed, have not been seen.

The largest creature they've found so far is a plate-sized exploding gas frog.

So, where did those volcanic creatures go?

There seems to be only one answer.

Staring at what appeared to be some fragment of the skull of some kind of large monster on the ground, and sniffing, Pandan signaled again and called her companions together.

"Pandan has found a new trace?" Chestnut with adoration in his eyes.

The boar also nodded violently, "It's worthy of Lord Xianglan, there are so many traces on this road, that broken dragon must always act on this route!" ”

Xianglan had a seriousness on her face that was rarely seen on weekdays.

At this time, it didn't care about any face, and directly overturned its previous statement of "the best search path":

"It's not that the search route of the puppets coincides with the route of action of the Exploding Dragon, but that Exploding Crusher has taken the entire Molten Mountain Canyon as its own territory.

It constantly roams the territory, killing all the creatures it can see.

Even after that, I still felt dissatisfied, so I started destroying stones everywhere. ”

"Teacher Xianglan seems to mean that the Explosive Dragon Shatter is not necessarily near the Great Lava Lake?" Mushroom looked a little confused, "So what should we do next?"

Continue searching for traces until the guide worm begins to guide meows? ”

Xianglan nodded seriously, knocked a small piece from the charred black bone fragment with a catsword, and put it into the insect guide cage, while saying, "That's right, meow, couples continue."

Halfway through the words, the guide worm that had extracted the breath from the scorched black bone fragment flew out of the insect cage and began to lead the way.

"Ahem."

Xianglan made a straight face and cleared her throat, "Even mean, that's right, meow!" It's really near here, and the puppets continue to move forward, and everyone pays attention to the hidden meow. ”
