Chapter 797 Elu group in the wild
Even during the retreat, Gordon Hayata was still very cautious.
They try their best to choose routes that are covered in canyons, forest belts, etc. and are not easily discovered from the air. Whenever they encounter a stream or river, they will wade into the water and walk along the river for a while, using the river to eliminate the smell and whereabouts.
Although the probability of Purple Poison Queen coming after her is low, Gordon and the others were deeply impressed by the pursuit and entanglement of the Black Flame King in the past few days, and they did not dare to let down their guard at all.
“So, don’t we just withdraw from the hunting grounds?”
A few kilometers away from the previous fighting position, Hayata suddenly asked: "There is a small airboat on standby at the camp, um, it's the burned camp.
If we go there, we should be able to leave smoothly. "
Gordon was silent for several seconds before answering: "According to my original idea, when there is a chance to retreat, I can just retreat, but now, I am a little unsure."
Hayata looked at Gordon, waiting for his next explanation.
Gordon let out a breath, "Originally, I thought it would be best not to offend the Black Flame King and the others to death, but we really can't consider such a thing in a fierce battle.
The Black Flame King has completely hated us. If we encounter it in the future, a battle will almost certainly break out. Its hatred is likely to spread to other humans.
Nearby commercial roads and human settlements may be seriously threatened. "
Hayata understood what Gordon meant, and looked a little embarrassed.
This is actually the same reason as not being able to offend ancient dragons casually. They have high-level intelligence, so the emotion of "hatred" can last for a very long time.
The combined strength of two fire dragons is not inferior to that of many ancient dragon species, but it is not as capable of causing "natural disaster" level disasters as the ancient dragon species.
But the Black Flame King's ultra-high temperature dragon flames, the Red Lotus Fireball, and the Purple Poison Queen's poisonous spines and poisonous mist may still be a bit difficult to destroy a city. After all, there are city defense facilities.
But it is absolutely very easy to destroy a village or a town.
Ordinary hunters in the village can't even deal with it and buy time.
“So, do you have any plans or ideas now?” Hayata asked.
Gordon slowed down and looked around. After confirming that the surrounding area was still safe, he took out the map and unfolded it.
“Step by step, the most important thing now is rest. Pork Chop used an excessive amount of anesthesia bombs. Even if the Black Flame King’s physique is extraordinary, it will take at least thirty to forty hours before he can wake up.
Before the Black Flame King awakens, it and the Purple Poison Princess are unlikely to leave the area where they fought before, which is the fourth area. There is no need to worry in the short term.
The camp has been destroyed and is no longer safe. It is not suitable to go back there. My idea is to go to the mountainous area to the east. The terrain there is complicated and it is easier to find a relatively safe temporary camp.
Hmm, District 8 is a narrow valley. We saw a Maru bird inhabiting it, so there should be less dangerous monsters there, and the food source can be guaranteed. We can go there and have a look. "
Hayata nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
“We have at least one day and night to rest and prepare. During this process, we can try to collect some plants such as detoxification grass. They are not common in the surrounding area, but there should be some.
Once the preparations are complete, we can try to challenge the Purple Poison Princess again."
When hearing this, Hayata raised objections, "It's too dangerous. The toxins in Purple Poison Princess are extraordinary. Ordinary antidotes may not be able to completely remove the toxins."
Gordon couldn't refute this.
He had been poisoned once before and knew how powerful the purple-red venom was, otherwise he would not have used the precious Kampo medicine in the first place.
“Actually, there is another way.” Hayata thought for a few seconds, “While I rushed to the ruins plain in a small airship, Mr. Isa and the porter also rushed back to Bernard Village to continue asking for help.
Calculating the time, if everything goes well, Ryūliyuan’s support will arrive in two to three days. If the reinforcements take a high-speed airship, the speed may be faster. "
“Two to three days, that is, there is still about a day difference.” Gordon pondered.
Gordon's eyes lit up, and he took out a few capture tranquilizer bombs from his bag and handed them to Pig Chop.
“This is a good idea. We don’t have to directly conflict with the Purple Poison Lady. We can think of ways to lure it away from the Black Flame King, giving Pig Chop a chance to replenish its tranquilizer bombs.
Then we retreat immediately. There is a high probability that Purple Poison Princess will not pursue for a long time, so we can wait until support arrives.
After that, the initiative is in our hands. "
"This is a good idea!" Hayata also nodded repeatedly, "We can plan the retreat route in advance. The way to attract the Purple Poison Lady is not necessarily to approach it personally. Throwing a dye ball from a distance, or using a flash bomb or something like that should It can work too.”
Tactics were gradually refined.
The hunters continued to move forward, but their pace became brisk.
They walked out of the red maple terraces with high and low terrain, and then passed through a real plain. The narrow valley mentioned by Gordon was right in front of them.
There is a stream in the valley, and there is a clear pond in the low-lying area. The timid Marua birds gather in twos and threes beside the river, pecking at the snails in the stream and the earthworms buried in the soil. At the same time, they keep raising their heads, alert to the movements around them. .
Gordon glanced around a few times and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, I walked in a hurry to avoid the pursuit of the Black Flame King, but now it seems that this is indeed a good temporary camp.
Let's look for any cracks or depressions under the cliff that are big enough to fit in. It would be even better if we could find a small cave. "
“The marutori that I saw is here, meow!” Xianglan flew towards the marutori by the stream.
Chickens are flying and cats are jumping, and there are feathers all over the place.
It has been eating dry food for several days, and it had a fierce fight not long ago. It is hungry and greedy.
".Meow?"
Observing the surrounding environment, Pig Chop suddenly made some discoveries. He took a few steps to a large rock under the cliff and carefully confirmed something.
“What did you find?” Gordon and Hayata followed.
Zhupa pointed at an inconspicuous cat paw print on the stone, "There is a mark, meow. There should be a wild Elu tribe living near here, meow."
“How can this be seen?” Hayata asked curiously.
Zhupa, who was once a member of the Elu tribe in the wild, explained: "Elu doesn't use stones to sharpen his claws. This is not a real paw print, but a mark made with a sharp weapon.
Look at the direction of the paw prints. The cats are marked in that direction. They should be cats from a more enthusiastic group. We can go and see the cats. "
“You can tell whether you are enthusiastic or not?!” Gordon was a little surprised.
"Exclusive groups, such as many of Melalu's groups, do not leave conspicuous marks on their cats. This kind of mark is not for Elu in the group to see. It should be for wandering cats passing by and traveling cats. They are welcome to be guests. Meow.
If you can find them, the location of safe resting areas, antidote grass and more materials will not be a problem, meow! "
Pork Chop seemed a little excited, perhaps recalling the time he had lived in the wild.
Gordon and the others would naturally not object. When the two of them and the cat were about to follow the directions of the marks, several wild Ellu suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
Hold a cat hammer shaped like a cat's claw, and chase the pandan chasing the bird by the stream.
“Meow the thief!”
“Fight the thief, meow!”
“I am not a thief, meow!” Xianglan screamed while hiding.
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other, then looked at the pork chop together.
Pork Chop's expression was a little stiff, "Those Maru Birds may be cats raised by others."
