Chapter 401 Robbers Deep in the Cave
After returning to the camp, Ted spent a long time scrubbing and wiping his beloved Boomer Dragon armor bit by bit.
Of course, it is washed downstream of the glacier, and the food is washed upstream.
At dinner, in order to make up for the psychological trauma, Tedhu ate the pork chop and most of the meal he had worked so hard to prepare went into his stomach.
Seeing that the dozen or so poisonous dragon cubs brought back to the camp were now less than half, Gordon only felt lucky.
Fortunately, there were still many left in the cave, otherwise they might not be able to bring back a few.
When we left the camp the next day, everyone was in bad mood, especially Gordon, who was in the same tent as Ted, and he kept yawning.
Someone who had eaten a lot last night snored for the first half of the night and the rest of the night. The snoring sounded throughout the camp. If it hadn't been so cold outside the tent, people would have froze to death.
Gordon will throw him out no matter what.
They have walked back and forth on this route to the cave several times, and no matter who leads the way, the entire team is moving forward with high efficiency.
The Qimians and Ellu were running around with their light bodies and quick and agile movements on the snow.
Babaka also found a large piece of curved bark, tied a rope to it, and built a simple sled, which would be convenient for transporting the Poison Dragon baby.
Then they started to play, dragging and pulling, taking turns pulling the sled across the snow.
The armor was so thick that every foot made a deep hole in the snow. Ted also wanted to sit on it and try it, but he was quickly chased off by three little guys.
It can't be dragged at all.
Ted calmly gave up the idea of being lazy, and at this time, the group of people had arrived at the edge of the snow forest.
“Leave the sleigh here.”
Gordon said to Pig Chop: "On rocky ground and caves, this thing is a burden. We can install it after we move the baby poisonous dragon over."
“Good meow!”
Pork Chop tied the sled to a big tree, and everyone continued to move towards the cave.
It took more than an hour, and they finally arrived at the place where the poisonous dragon cub was stored yesterday.
This is located quite deep inside the cave - since I was lazy yesterday and didn't move a little further to the cave exit, I will naturally have to put in more effort today.
However, when they actually came to the stone crevice where the "treasure was hidden", they discovered that the problem seemed to be more than just "putting more effort in".
".Meow?"
Pork Chop raised his head and stared blankly at the crevice high up that had turned into a big pit, and his beard trembled.
Ted couldn't help shouting: "Where's the poisonous dragon cub? Where's my uncle's bunch of delicious little cuties?"
“Hush.”
Gordon made a sound of breath, signaling Ted to be quiet. He took a few steps back and stared at the large pit that was four or five meters above the ground.
Unsurprisingly, this is the work of some kind of large monster. It is powerful enough to break through the rock wall and feed on the poisonous dragon cubs hidden deep in the rock crevices.
At the same time, the sense of smell should also be extremely sharp.
Before leaving yesterday, the smell of the pork chop was covered with dye **** to prevent small monsters like the Sleeping Dog Dragon with a keen sense of smell and good jumping skills from discovering and eating it.
And that kind of monster can actually distinguish the smell of the poisonous monster dragon cub from the pungent smell of the dye ball?
The latter obviously doesn't have any obvious odor.
“Brother Ted, hold me up.” Gordon whispered.
Ted nodded and squatted down with the big shield on his head. Gordon stepped on his knees and jumped onto the big shield to stand firm. Ted then roared and exerted his strength. While standing up, he pushed Gordon to the front of the pit.
There were some blood stains in the pit.
Gordon originally thought that it belonged to the half-crushed poisonous dragon baby remaining in the pit, but after a little analysis, he found that it was not.
So, is it the blood of the "thief"?
Looking at this person who has to violently break through the rock wall to get food even if he hits his head and bleeds, perhaps it is more appropriate to call him a "robber".
Immediately afterwards, Gordon dug out a small half of a dark yellow tooth fragment from the broken rock wall.
It should have been broken when the monster pushed hard and bit into the cracks in the stone.
He jumped back to the ground and showed the fragments of the teeth to his companions, "There is no doubt that it is a large carnivorous monster. I can't tell what it is. It may be some kind of large flying dragon."
Maka couldn't help but said: "But, how can a large flying dragon be so entangled with those poisonous monster dragon cubs? It's not even enough for them to take a bite, right? And it has crawled into such a deep area of the cave."
"Hard to say."
Gordon frowned and said: "Theoretically, any large monster with a keen sense of smell and powerful strength should not be obsessed with that little bit of meat.
Wouldn’t it be much more efficient to just hunt down mammoths or snow deer? "
“Is it possible that the frozen soil is too barren and there is nothing to eat, so I’m going crazy with hunger?” Ted said casually.
Hayata shook his head and said: "In fact, the frozen soil is not barren. The cold-resistant mushrooms, grass roots, moss, berries, bark and twigs in the snow forest are all delicious meals for herbivores.
The climate and environment here are very different from those in the Frasia region, and it is not impossible to support some spiritual deer and snow deer. "
“It’s meow. There are obviously a lot of meows in the berries and moss in the forest. If you pick them casually, you’ll get a lot of meows.” Pig Chop answered.
Gordon's expression suddenly became stiff, "Wait a minute, have you seen any herbivores in the past few days? Mammoths, snow deer, spirit deer, mushroom pigs, herbivorous dragons, any of them."
The hunters looked at each other and shook their heads.
Ted rubbed his unshaven chin and added, "So, it was indeed too peaceful while traveling back and forth these two days.
Except for the two sleeping dog dragons that I knocked to death the day before yesterday, I didn't see any small monsters, and those two were also very thin."
Gordon, who had some guesses in his mind, squeezed the tooth fragment in his hand hard and said, "Some of the dye ball dye around the stone cracks should have stained that guy.
Pork chop, can you roughly confirm the direction in which the monster left? "
Pork Chop sniffed carefully from side to side for a while, nodded his head and said: "It's barely okay, it should be going in that direction, should we start tracking it?"
“Catch up! Kill the thief!” Ted was eager to give it a try.
Gordon rejected Ted's proposal without hesitation, "No, we will return to the camp immediately and stay as far away from the target as possible. After returning to the camp, we will directly take the airship back."
Noting Gordon's solemn and even nervous expression, Ted also became cautious.
“Brother Gordon, have you guessed who the thief is? Is he a dangerous monster?”
"Um."
Gordon tapped his chin, "Maka just reminded me that except for the Poison Dragon and Strange Dragon, which are cave-dwelling species with special habits, flying dragon species rarely enter such deep caves.
That would abolish their proud flying ability.
If the flying dragon species is excluded.
The only ones with this kind of sense of smell, strength, height, and teeth of this shape should be large beasts and dragons. "
“Beast and dragon species,” Ted muttered.
The Explosive Hammer Dragon, the source of his armor material, is a beast-type monster. It was a really tough battle.
Gordon paused and continued: "Taking into account the fact that the surrounding animals have almost disappeared, the ferocious personality that is willing to shed blood for the sake of stuttering, and the ice people's legend about the 'evil that devours everything'.
The person wandering deep in the cave is probably that guy.
Seven-star dangerous monster, the gluttonous Terror King—Ibiruju (Terror Tyrannosaurus). "
