Chapter 412: Little Poisonous Insects from the Permafrost
Different from hot air balloons, airships use hard airbags that cannot be folded and stowed away, so a relatively wide space is required to dock the airship.
The airship that Gordon and the others were on was anchored in a small valley outside Jieyun Village.
It is very close, only a few minutes walk from the entrance of the village.
At this time, in the small valley, people from the Sterling Chamber of Commerce were surrounding the airship, carrying out a series of cleaning and maintenance work.
After arriving at the destination, the passengers can jump off the airship and leave, which is naturally very convenient, but the flight attendants still have a lot to do.
Fixing the airship, extinguishing the boiler, cleaning the carbon deposits, tidying up the cabin and deck, covering it with cloth, etc.
Fortunately, the people at the Chamber of Commerce are very experienced, quick and efficient.
“What is this box?” The young chamber of commerce worker struggled to pull out a heavy wooden box from the bottom of the cabin.
The wooden box was very humid, with ice water dripping from it from time to time.
The middle-aged member who was unwrapping the cloth temporarily put down his work and walked over to touch it, "It should be ice cubes? It is used to keep something fresh."
Ask the operator, they should know. "
The operator who was previously responsible for driving the airship was called over by the young man.
The airship operator glanced at it and recalled, "It belongs to the young master's friends. I remember it was Ellu named Pig Chop who carried it. I even helped him with his hand at the time. It was very heavy."
"What are you guys looking at here?" A female clerk wearing glasses came over. She was holding a booklet in her hand and was constantly checking the status of the airship.
The young member explained the situation. The clerk thought for a moment and said, "Since it belongs to the young master's friends, let's not open it.
Move it down and send someone to notify them later to pick it up. "
"okay!"
Young members and middle-aged members worked together to lift the damp wooden box.
“Really Shen Hey, is it filled with ice cubes?”
“Maybe, if there was less ice, it would have melted away in the past two days.”
“You are about to go up the steps. Hold your back higher, otherwise it will be difficult to move.” The middle-aged member walking in front warned.
"good!"
The young member lifted a corner of the wooden box hard and put it on his shoulders. Since the box was close to his ears, he heard some strange noises.
“Huh? There seems to be a sound in the box?”
“Don’t be lazy! Move to the deck first!”
The large, damp and heavy wooden box was placed on the deck, and the four people gathered in a circle, looking curious and subtle.
The airship operator cautiously approached and put his ear against the wooden box to listen.
“crunch, crunch”
"There is indeed movement." The airship operator took two steps back. "It should be some kind of living thing."
The clerk shrank behind the middle-aged member, her voice a little panicked, "The young master's friends are all hunters, they can't be monsters or something like that, right?"
"Isn't it true?" The young member also swallowed and comforted himself with a dry smile: "How can there be such a small monster? Even a dog and a dragon can't fit in, right?"
The middle-aged member was relatively calm, "Anyway, let's get some ropes to tie up the box, and then quickly call the hunters to deal with it."
The airship operator nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the master's friends are all very powerful hunters. This time they brought back a lot of monster materials. The claws and teeth, I can't even imagine how big the monster itself is!"
"Huh? I heard that they didn't take the airship to the frozen soil for a collection mission to find ingredients for the celebration?" Miss Clerk couldn't help but ask.
The airship operator was cryptic, "You can't say it, you can't say it. They are the young master's friends, so they can't talk nonsense."
“Oh, I understand.”
“Creak, crunch—.”
While everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was discussing confidentiality issues, the movement in the damp wooden box became increasingly obvious.
The hairs on several people’s bodies were all boiling.
“Go get the rope! Something is coming out!”
"oh oh!"
They hurriedly found a cable and wrapped it around the wooden box, but they obviously made a mistake in the direction of their efforts.
Stimulated by the "human smell" outside the box, the poisonous monster dragon cubs who woke up from anesthesia bit open the wooden box from the inside, and then "hissed" and screamed, scrambling to get out of the holes that were no bigger than a fist. squeezed out.
“Eh—! What is this! It’s so disgusting!” Miss Clerk screamed.
Not only her, but also the other three young and middle-aged men were all numb when faced with these oversized "leeches" full of sharp teeth.
The poisonous monster dragon cubs climbed out of the box and landed on the deck. They sniffed left and right, and then crowded together and quickly crawled towards the people of the Chamber of Commerce.
When everyone in the chamber of commerce saw this, they turned around and ran away, shouting at the same time for other people nearby to run away.
A caravan member who was moving things reacted slowly and was jumped on his back by a poisonous monster dragon cub. The ring-shaped mouthparts full of sharp teeth easily bit open the clothes on his back.
suck-.
The limp body of the poisonous dragon cub began to bulge.
“Ahhhhh!”
The man scratched in panic, trying to get the poisonous dragon cub off his back.
His partner also ran over with a broom to help, and finally managed to knock down the baby poisonous dragon. As a result, he was sprayed with poisonous gas, coughed violently, and sat down on the ground.
Some people hid in the cabin.
As a result, the baby poisonous dragon that chased into the dark cabin showed higher activity.
They don’t rely on sight to identify objects. No matter where they hide in the cabin, these disgusting-looking little things will chase after them relentlessly.
Some people were so excited that they picked up an empty wooden frame and smashed it on a baby poisonous dragon.
After hitting it several times in a row, half of the baby poisonous dragon's body was flattened, and he stopped breathing heavily.
As a result, the poisonous monster dragon cub twisted twice and started crawling again.
The little poison dragon, which has no bones and a very simple internal structure, was not afraid of such blunt blows, but was actually angered.
It hissed and climbed forward, frightening the member of the Chamber of Commerce who had finally mustered up the courage.
At this time, Gordon and the others who entered the small valley heard the screams and chaos coming from the airship and immediately guessed what happened.
“Pandan! Pork chop! You go first!”
Knowing that the situation was urgent, the two Ellu cats immediately jumped off Hayata, and together with Feng Ying's tooth hound Amber, rushed towards the airship.
The hunters also started running.
The fastest one is Feng Ying.
She was not equipped with any armor or weapons. She just had a stripping knife stuck in her waist as usual and her steps were unusually brisk.
Gordon is not worried about this guy's safety. With the strength of this strange girl, let alone a few poisonous monster dragon cubs, it is probably not a big problem for her to fight the green bear beast hand-to-hand with a skinning knife.
With the timely intervention of the hunters, the chaos on the airship quickly subsided.
Several members of the Chamber of Commerce were injured. Most of them were bitten by the poisonous monster dragon cubs and sucked a lot of blood. At this time, their faces were pale and their legs were so weak that they could not stand up.
Hanglan is helping them treat their wounds.
There was another person who was poisoned by the poisonous mist sprayed by the poisonous monster dragon cub that was full of blood.
Fortunately, the poisonous dragon cubs are not too poisonous, and the hunters also carry antidote in their bags. After taking the medicine, there will be no serious problems.
ˆps.
Needless to say, having Yang has a huge impact on all aspects, especially during the recent period of incomplete recovery. It is easy to get tired and the heart is easy to speed up.
I will try my best to update twice. If I cannot update twice, I will say something at the end of the previous chapter.
