Chapter 428 Suspicious Area
Gordon called his companions over.
“You’re still ready to take a risk, right?” Ancil stared at Gordon.
"Um."
Gordon did not deny it. He took the map and repeated what the professor just told him, "We are now located in the eastern area of the main peak. This is a good opportunity.
So I plan to scout this area tonight.
Although I don’t know what exactly angered Lan Long, I don’t think it’s some kind of monster. If I’m not too lucky, I should be able to gain something. "
Anhil pinched the corners of his eyes and thought for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"This judgment is reasonable. If it is some kind of monster that angers Lan Long, they should be at least creatures of the same level, and a fight will definitely break out until one party dies or leaves, so it can basically be ruled out.
Furthermore, if the professor’s judgment that Lanlong is unwilling to approach the area east of the main peak is true, then searching in this area should indeed be safer.
Personal preferences aside, I support reconnaissance, the only question is, why at night. "
“So far, the sighting records of Lanlong are basically in the daytime.”
The professor explained for Gordon: "Although it cannot be directly concluded that Lanlong will not move at night, at least from a probability perspective, night reconnaissance has positive significance."
"And because Lanlong is angry, there should be no dangerous monster activities in the Lingfeng Mountains. Nighttime reconnaissance is not more dangerous than during the day." Gordon added.
“For this reason, I have no problem.” Anhil nodded.
Gordon looked at Hayata.
“I don’t have any opinion either.”
Hayata thought for a while and called Alva over, who was roasting pine cones. "Mr. Alva, you have been active in this area these days. Can you help us map out the general terrain?"
Alva pushed up his glasses, "I'll try my best, but the terrain in the Lingfeng Mountains is too complicated. There are columnar stone cliffs everywhere. It's impossible for me to draw every stone cliff, but there should be a rough outline. OK."
“That’s enough.”
“Wait a moment.”
Alva took out a pen and paper from his book bag. Gordon and the others did not expect that this guy would still carry these things with him in this situation.
“This is the main peak. The Lanlong lives on the top of the peak. Don’t go near this direction.”
Alva first drew a series of mountains with simple drawings, and then drew a small triangle on the other side of the paper.
"The location we are currently in is this small triangle. Well, let me call it the camp. Five or six kilometers west of the camp, you will enter the foothills of the main peak. Don't go there.
Going southeast, passing through a dense stone forest, you will enter a relatively flat forest land, which is where I met the Green Bear before picking fruits.
To the southwest is a secondary peak. Not far beyond that peak is the place where the airship crashed.
Going north, uh, there are also continuous stone forests and a large river. The professor and I witnessed a group of dog dragons there, four or five of them, which should not be a threat to you.
That’s pretty much it. "
We all watched Alva's drawing of pork chop, and stretched out his little paw to pat Alva's shoulder.
"The terrain map you drew is much clearer than Gordon's."
“Ah, ah? Thank you.”
Gordon pinched Pig Chop's ears and concealed his embarrassment with a straight face, "In short, after we set off from the camp, there are three directions in which we can conduct reconnaissance.
The stone forests and woodlands in the southeast, the sub-peaks in the southwest, and the stone forests and rivers in the north. My suggestion is to abandon the southeast direction for the time being and focus more on the southwest sub-peaks and the northern stone forests. "
“Huh? Why?” Alva couldn’t help but ask.
The professor squinted at his brainless apprentice, "Because this is the direction you came from, and this is the direction you have been running the most in the past few days.
Since you didn’t find any abnormalities, it’s natural that the priority in this direction is reduced. "
After training Alva, the professor looked at the hunters again, "Thank you for your night reconnaissance. Take Alva's cloak for camouflage. Wear it at night. Even if the mist dragon flies over your heads, you may not notice it."
After a while, I will take the remaining canvas and modify it into a larger one for Gordon. As for Mr. Heavy Crossbowman, it is probably not necessary. The Velociraptor Armor is the best concealed night walking equipment. "
“That’s it, take the time to rest, and set out for reconnaissance after it gets completely dark.
If everything goes well, we can return tomorrow! "
The sun sets, and night falls over the Lingfeng Mountains.
Gordon and his party left the temporary camp and set out quietly.
I wonder if it is because Lanlong has the ability to control wind and rain, but when there is no storm, the sky in the Lingfeng Mountains is incredibly clear.
As far as the eye can see, there is not a cloud at all.
The last quarter moon hangs high in the sky, and countless stars form a sea of starlight.
Silver-blue light shrouded the earth, and even Gordon and the others, who had traveled all over the continent and were accustomed to seeing the beautiful scenery everywhere, couldn't help but feel lost for a moment.
.
Gordon breathed out softly.
If it weren't for the threat of Lan Long, he would really like to stop and appreciate the starry sky in front of him.
Looking left and right to confirm the direction, Gordon made two gestures.
Towards the north.
The three men and two cats set off silently but quickly.
They plan to go to the stone forest and river basin to the north of the camp to conduct reconnaissance first. As for why they don’t go to the sub-peak in the southwest first.
There is no particular reason, Gordon chose it at random.
Pork Chop and Pandan, as usual, leaned forward a certain distance to conduct reconnaissance in advance.
They should try their best to avoid encountering accidents like dogs and dragons.
It’s not a matter of safety, it’s just that he doesn’t want the smell of blood to attract Lan Long after a battle.
Although there is no evidence that Lanlong has a keen sense of smell, out of caution, let’s assume that Lanlong’s vision, smell, and hearing are extraordinary.
It’s always good to be cautious.
With the map guidance provided by Alva, Gordon and his party quickly arrived at the target stone forest.
But they didn't know what they should be looking for specifically, so they had to spread out a little and look for things that could be called "abnormal" as much as possible.
Such searches lasted for several hours, with the hunters staying together.
They found a secluded rock recess to hide temporarily and exchange their findings.
“I found nothing unusual here.”
"I do not have either."
“No meow found.”
Gordon covered his face, "It seems that there is no gain. There is no point in continuing here. Turn to the south, to the sub-peak that Alva mentioned."
Anhil's expression became more serious, "What if there is still no discovery in the south?"
Gordon was silent for a moment, "Then turn to the southeastern woodland. I plan to search at least this suspicious area east of the main peak.
Even if there are no commendable discoveries, at least a more detailed map can be compiled to help hunters who reconnoiter this area in the future.
As for the final result, there is no need to be too aggressive. If we don’t find it, we will be ready to leave Lingfeng. "
"Um."
A smile appeared on Ancier's lips, "Let's briefly record the terrain around here first. We may forget it later."
