Enter the battle street, the main road in the city, which is used to defend against monsters, inside the walls of East Doruma, and now it will be fully activated.

The hunters hurried to various places to deploy.

Slide cars on railroad tracks can be modified to add artillery, or cars can be installed to carry shells.

All non-hunting-related shops are closed.

On the guild notice board, as well as in a prominent position in the city, three ways for residents to avoid danger are announced.

The first rushed to the shelter under the city.

The second goes to the developed crack area.

The third option is to go to the pier and take a boat out to sea to the surrounding islands.

The latter two areas are guarded by some hunters, so they are theoretically safer.

As for when he will be able to return, the guild cannot give a guarantee.

At the entrance of the guild headquarters, it was overcrowded at this time.

A large number of stranded trucks unloaded the containers on the spot, squeezing the water here.

The team decided that they still needed to settle the van first, so they decided to head to Sophia's puppet shop.

In the area adjacent to the wall, the occupancy rate was already low, and now it is completely uninhabitable.

"It seems that Master's real estate is difficult to appreciate again."

Chu Ying looked at the dilapidated street scene and said helplessly.

"On the bright side, when we survive this crisis, the Pavilion Mantis will evacuate, and once the barrier wall is demolished, the puppet shop will be the golden area in the center of the city."

Li Ming speculated.

"I hope so, a hunter?"

The truck turned around the corner, and Chu Ying couldn't help but be surprised to see a male hunter wearing the armor of the Fire Dragon.

"Miss Sophia, I'm coming"

The hunter whispered into the air.

Sensing the arrival of the truck, turn sideways and look back.

Li Ming saw that it was Brother Sunshine.

"Hello, Instructor Aiden, stop!"

The rice drum bula fell claw and stopped suddenly.

"You're a top newcomer of the new generation! Li Ming! ”

Aiden observed for a moment, rather surprised.

"It's over, the team wants to settle the truck first, so I didn't go to the guild in the first place, Instructor Aiden, are you here?"

"I'll just walk around, hehe."

Aiden said with some hesitation.

"I see, seeing you holding flowers, I thought I was here to confess to someone."

Li Ming said suddenly.

"Ugh"

Aiden's facial muscles trembled slightly.

"No, there's no one living here anymore."

Chu Ying said very firmly.

"Isn't Sophia still there?"

Booboo reminded.

"yes."

Chu Ying suddenly.

"Alas, I saw through it, this time I actually came to confess to Miss Sophia, because if I don't take action again, I may not have a chance."

Aiden sighed helplessly.

"Can you ask a question?"

"Please, top newcomer."

"Do you know a competitive female codifier?"

"Well, not impressive."

Aiden looked up in thought.

It seems that Brother Sunshine and Sister Haosheng have no experience in becoming a member of the recommended group of the fifth phase, so they are not familiar with each other.

"Get in the car, Instructor Aiden, we're going to the puppet shop too."

"Thank you."

Aiden said, sitting in the front room of the van.

Chu Ying was a little curious about how Master and Aiden met.

So the other party told Barbarre's experience.

"From the brigade commander finding that pure white dragon scale, to the Tianxia Dragon being hunted by you in Sky Mountain, I feel that the unfinished journey back then has finally reached the end."

Aiden thought back to the past and couldn't help but sigh.

In front of the wall, the truck stopped.

At this time, Sophia, who was wearing civilian clothes, was carrying a large bunch of keys and standing in front of the shop opposite the puppet shop.

She put on the glasses that hung around her neck, and her face was surprised.

"That's a lot of people."

"Master! I am back! ”

"And meow!"

Chu Ying Bubu got out of the car and ran over.

Li Ming made a request to help relocate the truck.

The corners of Sophia's mouth curled, and she shook the large bunch of keys in her hand.

"You've found the right person, I bought half of the surrounding streets while the house price was at its lowest, and it is not a problem to house a truck at all."

Several people looked at each other, but no one made a sound.

"What's wrong with you, aren't you optimistic about my investment?"

Sophia asked curiously.

"No, I just feel like it's a bit risky to buy a property now."

Li Ming reminded.

"There will always be risks in investment, the team truck is placed on the first floor of this shop, and the second floor can be used as a rest place for the team, the guild headquarters has now entered a state of emergency, and it is busy all day long, and it is not good to rest there at all."

Sophia finished and took a key and handed it out.

"Thank you, Sophia-senpai."

Li Ming felt that although the other party was an investment ghost, he was still very thoughtful about the placement of the team.

"Aiden, why are you coming along?"

Sophia asked curiously.

Obviously, given the current situation, Aiden will definitely be extremely busy, the kind that will not be able to withdraw at all.

"I'm coming"

Aiden raised his hand and touched the back of his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a firm face, "Miss Sophia, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to say goodbye, I also accepted the guild's call, maybe there is a possibility of becoming a partner."

Sophia informed.

"But the guild has already said that the survival rate of participating in the frontal battle this time is very low."

Aiden said helplessly.

Sophia looked up, looked at the houses on both sides of the street, and sighed: "Whether you can turn over or not depends on this time, I don't want anything wrong with Dondoruma." ”

Set up the cats and trucks, and the team heads to the guild headquarters.

The scene was still crowded, and Li Ming showed the guild knight in heavy armor the emergency contact credential that Zuda had given him at the beginning, and was escorted to the research room.

Click~

The door opened, and Serena, the third princess, stepped out.

"Aunt Serena?"

Li Ming's face was surprised.

"It turns out that you also responded to the guild's call, Li Ming."

Selina seemed calmer.

"I'm here today to check the situation."

"Come on, there's still a lot of work to be done right now, let's go first."

After saying goodbye, the team walked into the research room.

Zuda was at the table, stunned as he looked at the unfolded map.

"Hello Zuda senior."

"It's Li Ming, it's just right to come, the next two are Chu Ying and Ni Shuang."

After Zuda finished speaking, he got up and greeted him.

After a brief greeting, the other party quickly recounted the information gathered by the guild headquarters.

First of all, the activity of the guide worm is restored.,There is a volcanic area.,The surrounding monsters have become extremely restless and active.。

Investigators also found unidentified substances with energy attached to the magma.

Many signs are highly consistent with the anti-Gulongdu report.

Thanks to the large number of guide insects bred in advance, the guild now has sufficient numbers to monitor all key areas.

Theoretically, it is possible to detect the appearance of the ancient dragon in time.

Of course, the problems to be faced are particularly serious.

The first is the shortage of frontal combat power, even hunters above five stars are actively responding to the call.

The reserve of combat capability is still far from comprehensive defense.

In addition, regarding the extremely active Pavilion Mantis, there are also two different opinions within the guild to drive away and repel and cooperate.

Zuda said he was troubled by this.

"The monster that has forcibly occupied half of the city-state for many years, it is understandable that some people are unwilling to cooperate, after all, once the enemy is attacked on the back, all deployment preparations will collapse, but if you try to drive it away now, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Li Ming felt that it was normal not to trust the Pavilion Mantis.

But if it was really sure, the guild would have done it a long time ago.

Serena expressed her willingness to take the lead and received a lot of support.

Zuda said helplessly.

"Well, she really can't tolerate such a thing as a monster occupying a city-state."

"So now we urgently need a hunter with enough combat power and a deep understanding of ecology to try to get in touch with the Pavilion Mantis, and if we can achieve some convincing results, it would be great."

Zuda said eagerly.

"It makes sense, it's a matter of Dondoruma's life and death, and it really should be more cautious, but where to find such a hunter?"

Zu Dalongren folded his palms with four fingers, leaned back in the chair, and said leisurely: "You are the best candidate." ”

"I recently hunted a Hellwolf Dragon."

"I've heard of the volcanoes underneath the Fire Nation."

"But there doesn't seem to be a dragon jade formation in the other party's body, and you also know that there is no dragon jade embedded weapon armor, and the attribute stimulation always feels slightly lacking."

"I'll figure out a way for the Hellwolf Dragon's faint jade, and as for the contact attempt with the Pavilion Mantis, I'll leave it to you."

"No problem, let's do it together."

"Well, but if there is no progress in the short term, Selina will probably carry out her deployment, and please don't be preconceived, if the Pavilion Mantis really shows a strong threat, the guild will definitely try even if it costs a lot."

Zuda reminded.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, right, is the research on the antidote to the dragon virus going well?"

"With the assistance of investigators from the Dragon Academy, progress is very fast, and a number of breakthroughs have been clarified, and I speculate that they will be completed in the near future."

"That's good, I will leave President Zuda."

"Be careful."

Trying to make contact with monsters and establishing communication possibilities is probably the most bizarre one of Li Ming's missions.

Back at the team's station, Li Ming listened to the sound of the insect bell and studied the plan of action.

Early the next morning, Li Ming carried Mi Duoduo on his back, came to the blocking city wall, and climbed up with his bare hands.

After reaching the top, a huge ruin half-hidden in the earth appeared in front of you.

"What a messy nest meow."

Midodo gave an evaluation.

"Part of it is the foundation material of the bazaar, which should be refreshing after being tied and connected with insect silk. Midodo, stay away. ”

"Okay meow."

Li Ming loads [Heavy Beetle Pheromone Generation].

The strong stench has not yet been smelled, but a strong fragrance wafts into the nose.

"It smells so good."

"Li Ming! Sober up, meow! ”

Seeing that Li Ming was intoxicated, Mi Duoduo immediately reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm here to visit the source of the fragrance, I'll go down first, and I'll take care of any unexpected situations."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he jumped down from the city wall.

The hidden angle formed by the two collapsed walls, he pulled a large lump.

Then, the rock slab containing the poop was roped and dragged towards the hive.

A wisp of yellow mist rose up after it.

咣啷~咣啷~

A heavy rumbling sound came from the dark cavern.

It was as if something huge was being dragged to the ground with brute force.

Li Ming didn't try to enter, and went around to the back of the rock slab.

Quickly and violently punched, and the air flow burst out by the white wind [Vacuum Pump] to induce the yellow mist into the hole.

After a few moments, the heavy rumbling suddenly stopped.

Click~click~

The sound of insect feet touching the ground densely, from far to near.

The claws on both sides were raised, and the golden pavilion mantis emerged from the darkness.

"Hello eldest sister, I'm a heavy beetle, it's too dangerous outside, so I'm here to take refuge with you."

Whew~

Li Ming said, his fist swing accelerating again.

The yellow mist containing heavy beetle pheromones soon enveloped the pavilion mantis.

Scold~

The sickle claw on one side of the pavilion mantis moved around, and the golden insect silk swirled, constantly shortening and tightening.

Soon, the thick steel beams pulled at the end rolled close to the ground.

Belch. Don't you recognize me as a beetle sister?

Or the pheromones are too smelly, which stimulates the pavilion mantis.

But this is the gentlest form of contact I can think of.

Whew~Bang!

As the insect silk tightened the throwing belt, the thick steel beam swung a half-arc in mid-air and smashed down.

At the same time as the ground caused a huge earthquake, the yellow fog was completely dispersed by the impact of the fall.

Although Li Ming was not attacked, the warning was already quite obvious.

"I'm really here to take refuge in you."

Boom! 呲~呲~

The steel beam was pulled up by insect silk, smashed to the ground, and began to drag and drag.

Seeing this, Li Ming stopped trying and kept retreating.

Then the Pavilion Mantis turned around and prepared to return to the hive.

"I wanted to get along with you as a little sister of the clan, but in exchange for estrangement."

Li Ming sighed lightly, and then loaded the [World Lord].

Whew~Whew~

The dragon dust that drifted away in the wind drifted past his side and poured into the hive.

The pavilion mantis's purple compound eyes lit up, and its body suddenly turned around.

The steel beams were flung out of the hole at the same time.

Boom!

The sound of impact sounded, and under the heavy smashing, multiple half-arc golden worm threads shook down and hung down from the top of the cave roof.

Scold! Scold!

The sickles on both sides are pressed down synchronously, hooking the golden insect silk, and then quickly circling in front of the body.

Long~Long~

At the same time, the ground began to tremble, and a large number of building ruins broke through the corners and appeared.

Between the sand and the gushing, it was as if something was about to emerge from the ground.

Li Ming didn't care, and calmly wrote and drew on the ground.

The Pavilion Mantis noticed that the other party did not make any further attacks, and its vigilance gradually decreased.

With the hem of the sickle, the taut worm silk becomes loose.

"This line is the sea in the rear, and here, it is the city-state where everyone coexists, and you can arrange the market here, I think you probably guessed the landing site, which will be near the coast."

Li Ming gestured.

Although this introduction is quite abstract for monsters.

But Li Ming felt that the Pavilion Mantis had an extremely high IQ, which should be understandable.

呲~呲~

The tip of the scythe, which glowed with golden light, reached down and drew an X on the line marked as the sea.

"It turns out that this is really the landing site you predicted"

呲~呲~

The tip of the scythe claw is in the area that represents the city, and several holes are pierced.

Li Ming speculated that this should be asking whether he would join forces to fight here.

So he spread out his palms, wiped a handful of his hair, and filled the holes with dragon dust to smooth out.

Sneer~

The pavilion mantis let out a strange cry, and the purple light of its compound eyes flickered.
