Chapter 402 Ice Wedge
Ted and Maka have never heard of this kind of monster, but the words "seven-star dangerous level" are enough for them to raise their vigilance to the highest level.
Actually, it’s not just the two of them.
Gordon and Hayata only read more detailed information about this terrible monster from the notebook given by the professor two or three months ago.
As the undisputed strongest among the beast dragon species, the strength of the Dinotyrannosaurus is far superior to that of most flying dragon species.
Its incredibly strong appetite may even destroy the ecosystem of an entire region.
This is not some exaggerated metaphor.
Take the frozen soil they are currently in as an example. Everything seems calm and peaceful, but in fact the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse.
The herbivore group has become extinct, and next will be middle and lower-level predators such as the sleeping dog dragon, and then there will be flying dragon species such as the poisonous dragon that should have no natural enemies.
Until the area turned into a truly "silent" frozen soil.
Hunters who realized the seriousness of the problem immediately reorganized their formation and began their return journey.
They need to report the news of the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus to the guild as soon as possible, and then the guild will decide whether to organize a team of high-ranking hunters to carry out a crusade.
"Pork chop, pay attention to the smell. If that guy has a tendency to approach us, tell me immediately." Gordon, who was at the end of the team and was responsible for cutting back, whispered to Pork Chop.
“I’ll try my best to distinguish between meows.”
Hayata glanced back at them. She understood what Gordon was thinking, but she didn't know what to say.
The hunter and his party moved forward as silently and quickly as possible. After more than half an hour, they left the dark and lightless cave.
Sufficient light and a relatively smooth and easy-to-walk road made their movement speed suddenly reach a higher level.
“How about pork chop?” Gordon asked his hunting companion who was always by his side.
Pork Chop sniffed carefully, "The smell is getting weaker and weaker, meow. It probably didn't notice us and didn't follow us, meow."
"That's good."
Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.
The Tyrannosaurus is so hungry that it won't even let go of a few Toxosaurus babies. If they find their traces, they will definitely chase them with drooling eyes.
The strength of their team is enough to cope with most situations.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex is obviously a special case outside of the "most cases".
According to what the professor said in his notes, hunting the Tyrannosaurus Rex requires at least two to three top hunters to act together and cooperate with each other to be more confident.
"Pork Chop, go ahead and explore the road. We need to speed up further."
“I understand, meow!”
Pork Chop landed on all four paws and sped forward, but before it could run out of sight of the hunters, it suddenly stopped.
It stood up and looked around.
The hunters immediately slowed down and became vigilant upon seeing this.
Without the interference of footsteps, a clear and melodious sound penetrated the wind and snow and reached their ears.
"Ding-."
Gordon took off his helmet and listened carefully.
“Ding-ding-!”
“It’s a bit like the sound of percussion instruments?” Hayata was a little confused.
She knew this was impossible, but similar sounds could only be made when hitting hard and homogeneous objects.
Such as metal bells, such as ice cubes...
Ice cubes? !
Hayata suddenly raised his head and looked towards the heights of the glacier.
“There!” she reminded everyone loudly.
The hunters all looked up.
Its body is slender, and its sharp dorsal fin reflects an icy blue light like pure ice in the sun.
The long beak, as sharp as a wedge, continuously struck the hard ice at the top of the glacier. After knocking out a crack, it used it as a breakthrough and spun at high speed.
Like a drill, it penetrated into the translucent glacier in an instant, drilling all the way down and heading towards them.
“Alert!” Gordon shouted, placing his palm on the hilt of the Fire Dragon Sword.
He has seen similar creatures, but they were not in ice and snow like permafrost, but in volcanoes where lava was boiling.
That is a five-star dangerous monster, a powerful sea dragon species known as the "Dragon of the Sea of Fire" - Yan Ge Dragon.
Of course, the guy in front of me who seems to be integrated with the glacier has nothing to do with the word "sea of fire".
But its identity is also very clear.
The extremely rare subspecies Yangelong, a six-star dangerous monster, and the living environment of the original species can be called the two extreme frozen soil "ice wedge".
—frozen gorung.
Information about this monster was also obtained from the professor's notebook.
Gordon remembers it well.
When he read the part about Feng Gelong, he was particularly surprised by one thing.
Yangelong is a typical gregarious creature, and the lava beast that is always around it is its young individual.
However, the frondosaurus that lives in the frozen soil lives alone, and no one has ever discovered the larvae of the frondosaurus.
There are various indications that the Frozen Gorosaurus is not "a" kind of monster, and they do not have a group.
Strictly speaking, they are actually Yan Gelong.
For some reasons, "Yangelong" left the volcano and came to the frozen soil, adapted to the harsh cold environment and survived strongly.
Subspecies with similar causes include Black Boom Dragon, Sand Lion, etc.
However, there are very few cases where the habitat environment changes from extreme heat to extreme cold like the frozen Gorosaurus.
The successive appearance of high-danger monsters gave Gordon a headache, and he had to find a way to escape as soon as possible!
“Spread out, avoid the first wave of attacks, don’t rush to counterattack!”
He shouted the order, "Use fertilizer bombs to try to drive it away!"
Under the gaze of the hunters, Feng Gelong quickly drilled to the bottom of the glacier and continued to dive downwards, leaving everyone's sight.
Gordon immediately warned again, "Watch your steps! At the same time, stay away from the ice wall, it may come out from above!"
This is a guess based on the experience when facing Yan Gelong.
"The ground is shaking! It, it seems to be coming towards me!" Maka was a little panicked.
Whether it is the Dino Tyrannosaurus wandering deep in the cave or the Frozen Gorosaurus lurking underground, they are far beyond the range of her strength to deal with them.
“Run!” Ted reminded with a roar, while stamping his feet hard, trying to use the heavy footsteps to attract Feng Gelong.
Gordon and Hayata both had the sonic boom bombs in their hands, but they did not dare to pull the fuse immediately.
To deal with such monsters lurking underground, sonic bombs can indeed easily force them out, but that can only save a temporary situation.
After the monster is forced out of the ground, it is likely to be stunned for a period of time. If their goal was to hunt, they would have fired the sonic bomb and thrown it out by now.
But this move will undoubtedly anger Feng Gelong.
By then, they will completely lose the opportunity to use fertilizer bombs to drive them away.
While Maka ran wildly, she tried hard to feel the vibrations under her feet.
At the moment when this shaking feeling was about to reach the ground, she flew forward with all her strength.
At the same moment, the huge figure of Feng Gelong emerged from the ground and almost pushed her out with its long wedge-shaped beak.
The frozen Gelong whose attack failed was like a fish falling into the water, spinning at high speed and re-burrowing into the ground, obviously preparing to launch a second wave of continuous offensive.
Gordon and Hayata knew they could wait no longer. They pulled the fuse at the same time and threw the sonic bombs in their hands.
High-frequency noise penetrates rocks and ice and goes straight into the ground.
The frozen Gelong screamed and was blown out.
