The investigation team went to great lengths to organize such a convoy for the sake of the molten mountain dragon.

So there was nothing to say, everyone didn't even have time to rest after arriving at the Great Ant Tomb Wasteland, and immediately threw themselves into the investigation of the Molten Mountain Dragon.

Led by Winder, the hunter who discovered the traces of the molten dragon, the commander-in-chief followed along with Lann, Aiden, and other planned front-line combatants to reconnoiter the situation.

Aiden hasn't been given the privilege to take missions above the four-star level.

But this time it was a group battle, and the lethality of the molten mountain dragon was more due to the active volcano on its body, which is the 'harsh environment'.

And in the face of harsh environments, it is something that hunters have to learn at one star.

Therefore, Aiden, hunters who have not yet risen to the star again, are also allowed to participate in the battle this time.

With a helpless expression, Lan En was again in the middle of Winder and Eppola .

"Hey, Lanne. Why are you so bitter when you haven't seen you for a long time! Laugh at it! ”

Ebo chuckled lightly as he pulled one of Ran's hands with an arm that didn't match his appearance.

"yes, Lanne. Laugh a meow. ”

With Lane, who was pulled in the middle, as a bridge, Garfield jumped from Winder to Apo, running happily.

This orange cat has also recently changed its equipment, and it looks quite weighty.

The witcher barely hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a smiling expression.

"Huh."

"I remember someone swearing that they would find a mount that could carry them. As a result, it's still the same as air-dried bacon. ”

This guy seems to be heartless, but he actually loves to spoof.

At this moment, he was asking Lan En with a narrow face.

The witcher could only laugh dryly twice and tilt his head over.

During this time, he has been busy communicating with researchers at the Institute of Ecology and learning techniques from hunters.

Although there are also missions, they will choose the type that is not too far from the stars. Gradually, the desire to find a mount was neglected in the busyness.

The Commander-in-Chief, Aiden, and Little Jack were laughing and watching the excitement next to him.

However, Winder's voice saved Lan En from embarrassment in time.

"No kidding, Aybo. It's time to get to work! ”

His serious voice sent Aibo into a mission immediately.

The original promotion is gone, and she is back to being the professional and energetic investigator.

At the same time, a puff of white smoke drifted high into the air from the ground.

It even floated to the side of the investigation team that was riding the pterosaur.

The white smoke had a choking smell of sulfur.

Everyone's eyes looked down.

A scorched earth path nearly 100 meters wide and long stretching all the way to the horizon was directly below them.

The weathered rocks and sand of the Great Ant Grave Wasteland were melted into glass by the high temperature on this road.

However, the glass was by no means pure, and the lava scattered by the lava dragon was cooled and solidified while maintaining its semi-solid viscous appearance. Turned into black residue and hard lumps.

"Good work, Wind. Well done! ”

The trajectory of the molten mountain dragon was in front of him, and even the commander-in-chief, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but bring a little excitement in his tone.

This mark looks conspicuous and massive from a human perspective.

But on the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the entire Great Ant Grave Wasteland, it is equivalent to a small stream on a hill.

It's not easy to find.

Immediately afterward, several people drove the pterosaur to follow this trajectory.

In a short time, Lan En was able to see the mythical creatures he had seen when he first came to this world.

The giant molten dragon moved its body.

The body with a total length of more than 240 meters looks sluggish and bulky, but in fact, every time it moves, it has already walked more than ten meters.

The high-temperature secretions in its body were like hot lava ejected from a volcanic eruption, sending black trails of soot in the air and smashing into the ground.

Every breath can cause a roar in the air because of the huge lung capacity.

This is the old molten mountain dragon.

This was the first time that the Commander-in-Chief had directly seen the body of the Molten Mountain Dragon, and several of them even lost their minds for a short time because of this.

However, Lann and Wende are much better.

"So." Lan En, who was hanging like air-dried bacon, tilted his head and said expressionlessly.

"Our plan is to put this on." Stuff 'to stop?' An active volcano? ”

The commander-in-chief was also a little speechless because of this.

People who don't intuitively see the body of the molten mountain dragon always have no idea about it.

The plan that came out of this was a bit taken for granted.

"Ahem, can you predict its trajectory?"

The Commander-in-Chief coughed awkwardly at Lanne's words, then asked as if he were changing the subject.

"We've been tracking it for almost two months before the convoy arrived, and based on the information we've gathered during that time, I think it's very likely that it's headed straight for that mountain."

Aibo, who turned to the professional state, completed his report cleanly.

Her free hand pointed to the distant horizon, where a mountain range lay along.

"Mountains?" Aiden was puzzled, "With its weight, is it possible that it still wants to climb a mountain?" ”

"It's not climbing a mountain, I guess it's trying to crash straight into the weak point of the mountain."

Winder calmly made a statement that made Aiden jaw-dropping.

"From what I've known about this guy over time, its size makes it have habits that are completely different from those of small creatures. After all, the mountain in front of us is like a dirt bag in front of it. ”

"We need to cross oceans, and it's done just walking."

"I guess this mountain range is just a thick wall that requires a little effort to find the way through it."

Creatures of different sizes, the differences in concepts that they have developed over a long period of time are laid bare in front of the hunters.

This gave the hunters a great mental shock, which in turn brought a moment of silence.

"Now, then, it's time for a reassessment of the battle plan, Commander-in-Chief."

Lan En, who was hanging, was the first to break the silence.

Everyone looked at him because of it.

"According to your plan, we need to build a defensive line with cannons and ballistas from local materials and wood, which will be used to delay the progress of the molten mountain dragon and consume its physical strength, which is already declining due to old age."

"But if this guy is a creature that can even hit mountains from a weak point. Commander-in-Chief, a mere twenty-meter-thick rock wall is like a layer of paper in this mountain range. ”

"And if the defensive power of this 'layer of paper' is replaced by an artificial wall based on wood, even if we can optimize the stressed structure, then the thickness of this wall must be at least 100 meters deep, right?"

"Is the project progressing in time?"

"Is it too late for timber gathering?"

A series of questions that put the data naked on the table made the commander-in-chief's black face even darker.

Eventually, the old man stared at the ancient dragon who seemed to run over everything and run towards his goal.

But he asked the hunter of the other world.

"Looks like my plan was taken for granted. What an awesome nature. ”

"So do you have an idea now, Lann?"

"I guess so." The witcher responded almost without much thought.
