Chapter 238: Breaking out of the ground
Seeing Hayata's lack of knowledge about the desert environment, the captain of the ship used the time of searching and rushing to "make up lessons" for the former.
“On the north side of the great desert, where the Balubare Guild operates, there are many Gobi deserts and rocky beaches, with rough sand and gravel. Oasis and rocky mountains can be seen from time to time, so walking is relatively convenient.
But the sand sea on the south side of the great desert is basically all fine sand. People can walk on it, but it consumes physical strength. If you are unlucky, you may encounter quicksand, which may be dangerous, so the surrounding area is basically sandy. boat activities. "
Gordon also added, “Considering the complex terrain in the desert, apart from expensive airships, camels are the most flexible mode of transportation.
Members of the camel team will use ropes to connect the camels to themselves to avoid falling into the quicksand.
The disadvantage is that the traveling speed is relatively slow, and if there is no hunter escort, it is easier to be attacked by monsters. "
Hayata listened carefully.
This knowledge is difficult to find in books. Generally, you can only have the opportunity to understand it when you go to the local area.
The sand boat moved forward in a roundabout way.
The captain of the ship took out his telescope from time to time and looked around. Thanks to the flat terrain of the sand sea and the dry weather environment, the visible distance was quite far.
As time continued to pass, his face became more and more gloomy, and he was no longer in the mood to give lectures to Hayata.
"The transport team must have encountered an accident." The captain of the ship said solemnly: "In two days, we should have climbed up here. We haven't seen their shadows yet, which is abnormal."
He shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the crew of another sand boat dozens of meters away.
The captain of the ship made a few gestures, and the two sand ships immediately opened a distance and dispersed the search.
"What monsters are there around here?" Gordon skipped the step of doubting and guessing, and directly made plans based on the premise that the transport team was attacked by monsters.
The captain of the ship also ignored the possibility of the Desert Bandits taking action.
The transport team was transporting wood, which was not a precious cargo. In addition, with the presence of the Sand Ship Group and the Walled City guerrillas, those desert rats did not dare to act recklessly near Lockak.
“There are many, and Huang Velociraptor and Shalom are the most numerous. Sandosaurus, Salmon, and Diphenosaurus are all more common. The more powerful ones include Ceratopsaurus, Banglong, Zhanlong, and sometimes a female Fire Dragon appears.
It is said that some people have encountered snow lions and subspecies of shadow spiders, but they are rare and I have never seen them. "
Gordon frowned when he heard this. He didn't even know there were so many types of large monsters in the sand sea.
He had a headache when he encountered some of them. If the transport team really encountered those guys, it could basically be said that they would die without any chance of survival.
“I can only pray that their luck will not be so bad.”
The atmosphere on the sand ship was terrifyingly heavy. The disappearance of the transport team not only meant that the members of the transport team were in deep crisis.
With the loss of the Yunmu transported from Balubare, the dragon-attacking ship cannot be repaired to its best condition, which may have a serious impact on the subsequent Fengshan Dragon blocking operation.
The worst case scenario is that the interception fails and Fengshanlong attacks Lockark.
Gordon couldn't even imagine such a scenario.
“Whoop, snap!”
A few kilometers away, a spark suddenly exploded in the sky.
The captain of the ship cheered up, "It's a signal from another sand boat. They've found it. Turn around! Send it to the direction quickly! Fill up the sail!"
The helmsman at the stern pulled the steering oar hard, and the sand boat tilted and turned in the direction of the signal flare.
Hold onto the side of the ship to stabilize their bodies, Gordon and Hayata looked at each other, ready to enter the battle at any time.
The sand boat is moving at full speed.
Driving at high speed, when encountering raised sand waves, he would leap into the air. The pork chop was almost thrown away if he was not careful. Fortunately, Gordon had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed its tail and carried it back.
What made them feel uneasy was that the sand boat had capsized, and the two crew members were trying to move the hull of the boat, trying to rescue their companions who were stuck under the side of the boat.
Another young girl wearing guerrilla equipment from the Walled City held a pair of knives and was guarding them, scanning the surrounding sand vigilantly.
The crew around Gordon subconsciously wanted to lower the sail and slow down, and move over to help, but the captain suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
“Don’t slow down! Maintain speed and sail around them. There is something under the sand. Let’s hook that guy out first!”
Speaking, the captain ran to the back of the sand boat and took the helm himself.
The sound of the bottom of the boat rubbing against the gravel quickly attracted the attention of the underground monster.
There was a cloud of dust rising from the ground not far away, and something was approaching them quickly under the ground.
Gordon and Hayata reached for the weapons behind them at the same time.
With a loud "wow" sound, a streamlined shadow jumped up from the sand, from top to bottom, and hit the high-speed sand boat.
The captain of the boat suddenly pulled the steering oar, and the sand boat nimbly drifted in an arc among the sand waves, successfully avoiding the monster's surprise attack.
“It’s Qianshuolong!” the captain of the ship shouted loudly.
Without him needing to remind him, the two hunters had already dodged as the sand boat drifted and the speed of the boat dropped suddenly.
After rolling on the ground and losing their excess inertia, Gordon and Hayata were just close to the Diegalosaurus, which had fallen into the sand and had not yet had time to dive.
There is only one thing that needs to be done now, and that is to attack crazily, firmly suppress the monster, and buy time for the captain and the others to rescue another sand ship.
The Flying Dragon Sword was unsheathed in an instant. The dexterous Hayata moved faster than Gordon. He drew the sword and slashed vertically, stabbed, picked, and slashed with cassocks. The sharp slashes broke out continuously.
The Diegrostomus, which looked like a fat-headed fish, let out an unpleasant roar and turned to Hayata viciously.
Seeing that the former helped him attract the monster's attention, Gordon raised his sword without hesitation and began to prepare to charge up the attack.
the other side.
The sand boat that the captain of the ship personally steered docked next to the capsized ship. The crew members jumped off and helped to straighten the capsized ship.
Fortunately, the damage to the ship was not serious. The side of the ship was somewhat damaged, but it did not affect navigation.
It must have been knocked over by a sneak attack from below by the Dienchosaurus.
“Cessna, what’s going on?” the captain asked the guerrilla member holding a pair of swords.
This young dual-sword wielder who also has the status of a two-star hunter said eagerly, "We have found the people from the transport team, on the platform rock over there.
They must have hid up there after being attacked by the Diemsaurus, and ended up being trapped. I told them not to get down in a hurry until the danger was truly over. "
“Well done.” The captain looked at the platform rock in the distance and praised Cessna.
Fortunately, they did not take the people from the transport team directly down to Taiyan.
Whether it can carry people, camels and cargo is another matter. Even if they are all brought, it is too dangerous to face the submersible dragon that may appear at any time.
“What next?” one of the crew members asked.
The captain of the ship thought for a moment, "Let's go, let's sail to Taiyan and meet up with the transport team.
Although the Qiankoulong is a four-star dangerous monster, it should not be able to cause any trouble in front of two hunters, one with five stars and one with four stars. "
"yes!"
ˆPs.
I checked the mission level of the Submerged Dragon, and it was the same as the female Fire Dragon. I was a little surprised. Maybe it’s because of the danger of underground raids. It’s defined here as the lowest level among the four-star monsters.
