Chapter 431: So vindictive?
The rain is getting heavier.
The terrain of the Lingfeng Mountains is already rugged. Even experienced hunters have to slow down a bit when walking at night in such a climate.
Alva behaved even worse.
Fortunately, he was not fully armed like the hunters, and the only "weight" was the professor behind him, but even so, he still slipped several times, leaving him and the professor covered in mud and water.
Gordon, who was walking at the front of the team to clear the way, stretched out his fist and made a gesture. Everyone slowed down and rested against a stone wall for a short while.
"We are getting further and further away from the ruins." Gordon had to raise his voice slightly during the wind and rain, "Looking at the rain, Lanlong is probably very active. It may appear at any time, so everyone should be vigilant.
We are about to leave the stone forest area with dense stone cliffs. Without cover, Lanlong can easily spot us from the air, so we must pass as soon as possible!
Hayata, it’s your turn to open the way. I’ll cut off the rear, and Anhil will help Alva and the others. Alva, just drink the walking pill and start running! "
"clear!"
"knew."
Everyone quickly changed their positions, and Alva also drank the forcible drug.
“Pork chop! Pandan! Always pay attention to the sky, let’s start sprinting and pass through the open area as quickly as possible!”
Hayata adjusted his equipment, took a breath and started to run faster.
Opening a road in this mountainous area where the vegetation is not luxuriant but the terrain is very complex is different from that in a dense forest.
Although it is not necessary to expend a lot of physical energy to clear the branches and vines, the path opener needs to concentrate on finding a relatively convenient route for the team to walk.
Especially in the current situation where it is necessary to speed up as much as possible, the physical and energy losses of the path opener will be very large.
The reason why Gordon transferred this burden to Hayata is, on the one hand, because the latter is more agile and faster than him.
On the other hand, I also hope to preserve a little more physical strength to deal with possible battles.
In the wind and rain, the team of hunters ran wildly.
The heavy rain enveloped everything like a curtain, and visibility was very low. Gordon kept looking back and looking at the sky behind him.
Other than the blurry black sky and the huge cyclone that almost covered most of the sky, nothing could be seen.
"This is a good thing." Gordon kept telling himself, "No discovery is the best case scenario."
"Meow-!"
The pork chop beside Gordon suddenly screamed, "Here he comes, meow! Meow at seven o'clock!"
Gordon's heart beat twice. He quickly looked back and saw a blurry white shadow tumbling through the extremely low black rain clouds.
“Hidden!” Gordon reminded the team loudly.
“Hide!” Anhil, who was in the middle of the team, repeated Gordon’s instructions so that Hayata, who was running quickly at the front of the team, would not hear it due to the influence of the wind.
Everyone immediately stopped and dispersed.
From an aerial view, moving targets are very easy to spot, while stationary targets are relatively easy to ignore.
There was no shelter around, so everyone could only rely on their own camouflage and lay down to hide.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared before traveling. Gordon and Hayata had canvas-modified camouflage cloaks on them, and Ancil's Velociraptor armor had the effect of being a night-walker.
The Elu burrowed into the ground, and the clothes on Alva and the professor were also camouflaged with mud, charcoal ash, and plant branches and leaves, so as not to be directly exposed.
Everybody held their breath and remained motionless.
No one knows whether the camouflage alone can deceive Lan Long in an open area without the cover of trees.
All you can do at this time is pray.
The cry of Qingyue sounded above the heads of the hunters.
Hope it can fly by like this
In a small hole not far from Gordon, Pork Chop was looking up at the sky.
“It rose, meow.” Pig Chop reported the situation in a low voice, “It disappeared into the clouds, meow.”
Gordon continued to lie there like a stone, "Don't move in a hurry, continue to wait, wait for it to fly away."
“It appears again, meow! It starts to dive, meow!” Pig Chop’s voice suddenly became sharp, “It seems to have discovered us, meow!”
The howling wind and chirping sounds above his head were getting closer, and Gordon couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Is Lan Long’s vision really that sharp? At a high altitude close to the clouds, and on such a dim rainy night, can they be found in camouflage?
“Woo—!”
“It’s getting ready to breathe, meow!” Pig Chop screamed.
“Get out of the way!” Gordon yelled, jumping up and rolling sideways.
It is difficult to judge where Lan Long's condescending breath will land. How to avoid it at this time? Whether you can avoid it or not, you can only leave it to fate.
Silver-white torrent swept past where Gordon just lay down.
The ground exploded instantly. The hard granite was as fragile as mud in front of this breath, and a deep trench several meters deep was instantly plowed.
The gravel flew and hit Gordon raw through his armor. It could hit Gordon directly on his body, and it might even break his bones.
Gordon stood up in shock, looked at the deep ditch, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Not surprised by the power of Lanlong's breath, but surprised by the angle at which the breath strikes.
He originally thought that the breath would sweep through their team, and he was also very worried about which of his companions would be hit.
As a result, the initial landing point of the breath was where he was lying down, and then it extended for dozens of meters in the direction of no one behind the team.
It doesn’t seem to care about the other people in the team at all. It only targets itself?
Gordon couldn't help but raise his head and look at the mysterious and gorgeous huge white shadow flying in the air in front of him.
Those shining silver pupils were locked on him, just like the time they looked at each other on the airship a few years ago.
Is this guy still brooding on his provocation of "One day I will challenge you"?
That’s not the case, right? !
The mist dragon hovering in the air raised its neck slightly, and the light of its breath gathered in its mouth again.
Gordon suddenly turned around and ran in the direction he came from. At the same time, he turned back and shouted: "Hayata! Anhir! You continue to evacuate!
Its target is me! I will use the ruins to get rid of it, retreat quickly! "
"Meow!"
Pork Chop jumped out of the hole and threw a flash bomb at Lanlong who was about to spit out his breath.
In fact, it didn't expect this flash bomb to be effective at all, it just hoped to attract Lanlong's attention.
What no one expected was that the bright light of the flash bomb actually interrupted Lanlong's breath, but it did not fall because of this, but let out a long and angry howl.
The white spiny fins were stained with a dark cloud-like color, purple-red spots appeared on its body, and the mist dragon quickly circled and danced.
“唳——!”
As it moves, a tornado storm is rapidly taking shape with it as its center.
"Angry, so that's it. Is the color change really due to emotion?" The professor lying behind Alva muttered to himself inappropriately, "It will be affected by flash bombs. This is important information. It can cause a storm so quickly. Can it really be explained by 'steam'?"
“Senior Gordon!”
“Gordon!”
Hayata and Anhir subconsciously wanted to catch up, but were blocked by the tornado caused by the mist dragon.
