Chapter 557 Final preparations
"Are these corpses going to be disposed of?" Xia Zuo put away his swords and asked the stunned sledgehammer.
"Huh? Ah, these are two hunters. I will not participate in the harvesting. Thank you for your help!" The sledgehammer who had just come back to his senses waved his hands and said.
“I mean, the smell of blood might attract more monsters.”
Hearing this, the Sledgehammer scratched his head and said, "That's not possible. The land near the old village is barren and there are not many small monsters. Occasionally, there will be a winged snake dragon flying from a distance, aiming at the 'human smell' here. patronize.
If you are worried that it is not safe, it will burn down in a while. "
Xia Zuo nodded. He turned to look at Ajiaxi, and his eyes pointed at the body of the Pterosaurus on the ground.
Agassi shrugged and said there was no demand.
Xia Zuo then said to the sledgehammer: "The material of the Pteranodon is of no use to us. Please help yourself if you need it."
The sledgehammer user was stunned for a moment and noticed the advanced equipment on Xia Zuo and others that he had never seen before. He smiled and rubbed his hands, "You're welcome then!"
Although the Pterosaurus is not a powerful monster, its skin is very tough after being tanned. With some other materials, it can be used to make equipment that is considered to be quite good at the second or third level.
Even if it is not used as equipment material, it can be sold to recyclers. This kind of striped leather is very popular in the market.
Xia Zuo and others did not leave immediately. They still had some questions to ask the sledgehammer.
He is not like a hunter from Micheng. He may be from a nearby village and seems to be familiar with Jiuzhai and the surrounding environment.
After handling the corpses of the wyverns, the sledgehammer grabbed a handful of dry sand from the ground, rubbed the blood off his hands, raised his head and said with a smile: "You are the elites sent by the guild, right? That’s awesome!
My name is Adkins, and I come from a little-known village south of Senqiu. You can just call me Ajin. "
This sledgehammer who calls himself Ajin looks to be in his thirties. Judging from his equipment, he should be a two-star or three-star hunter. He is probably a voluntary participant in the war.
“Bear Mr. Akin well.”
Xia Zuo nodded and did not put on airs because the other hunter's level was not high. "I am Xia Zuo. As you said, I was sent by the guild. I just got here last night and I have some questions that I would like to ask someone familiar with."
“Just ask!”
Perhaps because of Xia Zuo and others’ status as elite hunters, or perhaps because of the kindness of helping him from the claws of the Pterodactyl Dragon and giving him the materials, Ah Jin behaved quite enthusiastically.
“In the past few days, will small monsters appear more frequently than before?”
Ajin thought for a while, nodded and said: "It will be a little bit, mainly the pterosaur. A week or two ago, you might not see one in two days, but in the past few days, it has appeared several times a day."
Xia Zuo nodded. He was not surprised by this answer.
This is the habit of Pterosaurus. They follow Laoshanosaurus out of the mountains and fly around to hunt for food. The radius of their activities can reach hundreds of kilometers.
As the Laoshan Dragon gradually approaches, it is normal for the frequency of these flying monsters to increase.
“Besides Pterosaurus, have any velociraptors ever appeared?”
"Basically no."
This time Ah Jin answered quickly, "I came to Jiuzhai almost twelve or three days ago, well, I was escorting an engineering team.
From that day to now, the Velociraptor has only appeared once in the old village. It was an old blue Velociraptor that broke away from the group.
I heard from the brothers patrolling here that there are very few monsters within a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the only ones that need to be wary of are basically the Pteranodon. "
"You can't even see small monsters. Is this place so barren?" Hayata underestimated it in a low voice.
If I guessed correctly, it should be because of the aura of the ancient dragon. "
Hayata suddenly understood.
Jiuzhai, as a place where humans have fought against Laoshan dragons and other ancient dragon-level creatures over the past hundreds of years, has long been soaked in the blood of ancient dragons.
Decades later, these auras will not have any negative impact on monsters, but they can easily make them feel uneasy.
Of course, except for the pterosaurs and velociraptors surrounding Laoshanlong, they are used to it.
What Gordon can think of, Xia Zuo, who is more experienced, can naturally think of it too.
But he did not correct Ajin's statement. After all, for the hunters before being promoted to six stars, the information about the ancient dragon species was semi-confidential.
In the guild’s public descriptions of super-giant ancient dragons such as Laoshanlong and Fengshanlong, which were too large to conceal their existence, the word “ancient dragon” was never mentioned.
Rather, it is described as "some kind of super giant monster with an extremely long lifespan".
"I see."
Xia Zuo thought for a moment, called Evelin and Zhupa and said, “The plan to reduce the number of small monsters can be prepared in advance.
According to Mr. Akin, the distribution of Pterosaurus may be scattered. The velociraptor group is expected to rush over in a large group. Some of them must be eliminated first, otherwise the interference will be too great. "
Evelin discussed it with Pig Chop in a low voice and nodded, “Understood, let’s start adjusting the explosive bombs today. Let’s first confirm a few places to place baits and explosive barrels.
It would be best to find more manpower and detonate them at several locations at the same time, so as to maximize the killing effect. If the detonations are dispersed, I am worried that the velociraptor group will be frightened and run around. "
“If you need help, we can help!”
Ajin suddenly said: "There are quite a few hunters like me who **** the caravan here and then stay to prepare to contribute.
Although most of us are incompetent guys, there is probably nothing we can do with that old mountain dragon, but if we are transporting things, setting traps, baits, etc., it will definitely be no problem! "
Xia Zuo appreciated Akin's willingness to help. He nodded to him and expressed his gratitude. Then he turned to the other people and said, "Everyone has almost confirmed the facilities on the city wall and Battle Street.
Pork Chops follow me to the warehouse to get materials for mixing explosive bombs.
Evelyn, go confirm the location where the bait and bombs are set up. Don’t forget to mark it on the map and communicate it to the guild later.
Gordon, please go find Miles and ask him to help select a few reliable shooters. Don't forget to rehearse the process of detonating bombs at the same time. "
“Good meow!”
"clear."
"Mr. Akin, please go find more people. Once you find them, come directly to the warehouse. In a few days, Laoshansaurus and hordes of velociraptors and pterosaurs are coming. We have to hurry up. time."
"no problem!"
Under Xia Zuo's arrangement, Gordon and others, who were still a little confused and unsure of what they should do in the past few days, suddenly became busy.
The busiest person is Miles.
Due to his special status among the local shooters in Minagard, he has now become the leader of the shooters and hunters in the old village.
Arranging gun and firing positions, planning attack waves, debugging facilities, organizing attack rehearsals and transition processes, he had to worry about a lot of things.
Xia Zuo’s job is similar, except that he is responsible for the swordsman part.
With the efforts of these two old hunters, the scattered and chaotic hunters from all over the old village were gradually organized and united.
In the mountains to the north of the fortress, the old mountain dragon was getting closer and closer.
