Chapter 427 Conversation in the Hideout
In the eyes of hunters, Alva is a bit clumsy.
Obviously, he is familiar with various skills in field operations, but he is not proficient in them. Fortunately, he has good endurance and his speed is not very slow.
The group of people took advantage of the cover of the terrain and trees, turned around, and ran for twenty or thirty minutes, but they didn't see this guy breathing heavily.
This is something ordinary people cannot do.
Along the way, the hunters were always alert to threats from the sky.
Or to put it more directly, the threat from Lan Long.
The other monsters are nothing to be afraid of.
Even the local "dominant species" Thunder Wolf Dragon group in the Lingfeng Mountains have been driven out of their homeland. In this rugged mountain range, the only powerful one left is probably Lanlong himself.
“We’re almost there, there are still the last few hundred meters to go!” Alva, who was leading the way, waved to the hunters.
The hunters looked at each other and quickened their pace.
Not long after, a group of people came to an inconspicuous mountain peak.
Like most peaks in the Lingfeng Mountains, this peak is mainly rocky and columnar, with extremely steep sides and a generally regular cylindrical shape.
“It should be right here, right around here.”
Alva searched for the formation along the rock wall at the foot of the mountain. "Ah, I found it, come over here!"
Gordon really wanted to tell Alva that you could keep your voice down, but now that they were at the place, it was better to wait until it was safe before warning him.
Alva pushed aside a large clump of vines hanging down from the cliff, revealing a narrow stone crevice on the mountain.
Alva, Hayata and even Anhir all got in easily. Gordon, the largest one, was almost stuck, and it took him a while to squeeze into the narrowest place.
After everyone went in, Alva returned to the crack and reset the door curtain-like vines, and then he felt at ease.
After meeting the rescue team and escaping from death, Alva was obviously in a excited mood. He opened his arms wide and said: "Welcome to our shelter!"
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him. The hunters were paying close attention to the surrounding situation and didn't even hear what he said clearly.
This cave is not too big, just a few dozen square meters in size. It is dark and damp inside, and the extinguished bonfire on the ground is the only source of light.
The professor, who was curled up and resting on a bed made of dry grass leaves, heard the noise, raised his upper body with difficulty, and sat up.
Alva quickly ran over and explained the situation to the professor excitedly, "Professor! The rescue team is here, it's Brother Gordon and the others, we can go back!"
Gordon also walked over. He took off his helmet, squatted down and asked, "Professor, how is the situation? I heard from Alva that you were seriously injured."
The professor's condition was very poor. His face was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead. There was blood coming out of the cloth that fixed the broken bones of his legs, and there was a rotten smell.
The arrival of the hunters cheered him up a bit, "It's Gordon. Huh, the Dino Tyrannosaurus armor? It's only been a few months, and the speed of progress is really amazing."
"Yeah?!" Alva rushed forward after hearing the words, "I was thinking just now, is it really the material of the Dino Tyrannosaurus!"
“I can lend you clothes to play with when I get back, but now is not the time.” Facing Alva, who was suffering from an old problem, Gordon said helplessly.
“Oh oh.”
“Pork Chop, Pandan, help the professor check the injury first.”
“Good meow!”
“Here comes Meow!”
Two Elu circled the old professor who was about the same size as them and examined it carefully. Zhupa said worriedly: "The wound infection is more serious, the trauma has been delayed for too long."
Xianglan helped the professor clean the leg wound and sprinkled life dust. Zhupa fed the professor a drink of recovery medicine. The latter took a few deep breaths and recovered somewhat.
"Let's rest in place for a day. Once the professor's condition becomes more stable, we will take them to evacuate." Gordon said solemnly.
Hayata and Anshir naturally had no objections. Rather, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Alva added some firewood to the campfire, and happily took out food from his book bag to share with everyone.
The gloom that had been hanging over him for a week was gone.
The professor glanced at the hunters. He understood what Gordon and the others were thinking. After pondering for a moment, he waved to Gordon.
“Is there a map?” the professor asked Gordon.
"have."
Gordon took out the simple map that they had added many pens to.
During the two days of search and rescue, they also continued to improve the content on the map. More than 70% of the southern area of the main peak of Lingfeng has been explored and marked by them.
The professor quickly figured out the clues from the somewhat chaotic map. He pointed to a location and said, "This is the place where the airship crashed. You have found the wreckage of the airship, right?"
“Well, we found some tracks near the wreckage of the airship, and we followed them all the way until we finally found Alva’s. To be honest, we didn’t expect them to run that far at first.”
"Alva carried me on his back and ran east for XZ for two days." The professor pointed at the map. "At first we were south of the main peak, then we ran to the northwest, then to the north, and finally to the east before settling here. .
During this period, we were almost discovered by Lanlong several times. That guy has been wandering in the airspace near the main peak, and from time to time he would trigger storms on a whim. "
"Yeah." Gordon nodded and said, "We have also witnessed it twice, but the distance was relatively far. We modified the route in time so we didn't really encounter it."
“Do you know why we finally chose to settle east of the main peak?” the professor suddenly asked.
“Uh, because you discovered this hiding place?” Gordon looked around, “To be honest, this place is more than enough to set up a camp.”
“It’s good luck to find the hiding place, by the way.”
The professor waved his hands and said: "I found that Lanlong seems to be deliberately avoiding this area."
"Avoid?" Gordon cheered up, "How did you make this judgment?"
“Two points. One is that we haven’t seen Lanlong since we entered this nearby area. Of course, this is not strong evidence, and it may just be luck.
The most critical point is the second point.
Gordon, let me ask you, when searching around the main peak, have you ever encountered monsters? "
“No, I have only seen Spirit Deer a few times. As for monsters, Dog Dragon has never seen them. Was he scared away by the breath of Lan Long? Or was he driven away?”
"I tend to scare them away with the aura of the mist dragon. As for the expulsion, I can't quite imagine the scene of the mist dragon expelling the dog dragon. It would be about the same if it were replaced by the thunder wolf dragon, hahaha." The professor laughed hoarsely.
Gordon grinned. The professor obviously knew about the troubles among the Thunder Wolf Dragon clan.
“Okay, let’s get back to the topic. Alva carried me on his back and walked almost a full circle around the edge of the main peak area, but he also didn’t see any monsters.
The eastern area is the only exception. We saw a small group of dog dragons from a distance. "
“Not long ago, we also encountered a green bear beast near here.” Gordon frowned.
"Is it?"
The professor nodded, "So, although these cannot be used as arguments for rigorous argumentation, they can still be used for logical speculation.
Lanlong is reluctant to get close to the eastern part of the main peak due to certain things.
This may also be the main reason why it is manic and aggressive. "
