Chapter 877 The Valley of Sulfuric Acid
Southern domain of Geokluk Sea, volcanic island.
Not too far from the crater in the center of the island, there is a huge crack in the ground formed by geological activities.
The crack in the ground is more than 500 meters long and 60 to 70 meters wide. It is very deep. It may be more appropriate to call it a small canyon.
There are several springs at the bottom of the valley, as clear as blue glass. From time to time, high-temperature water spurts out from between the rocks, but not even a trace of vegetation can be seen.
The misty air is filled with a pungent sour smell, which comes from several sulfuric acid springs.
No birds, animals, fish or insects will come near this place. This is a forbidden place for life.
It’s just that in recent days, there have been more guests here.
The alien dragon, with pungent oil flowing between its scales and its body covered in green and black, was sleeping at the bottom of the valley.
One of its front paws was placed in the sulfuric acid pool, and it was not known how long it had been soaked.
Those sharp metal tools stuck to the claw arms by black oil have been riddled with holes under the corrosion of acid, and the armor-like black oil has been broken open by strong acid.
Even the astonishingly tough green-black dragon scales and skin underneath were brittle and shattered under the long-term erosion of strong acid, revealing dark red muscles and white bones, bubbling in the acid pool.
Even torture such as skinning and burning pales in comparison to this.
“Is this kind of masochistic behavior an active pursuit of pain, or is there no pain sensation at all, so you don’t notice it? It’s really hard to understand, magical nature.”
There is a guard post hidden on a hill some distance away from the canyon. They cannot get too close, otherwise their respiratory tracts will even be burned by the acid mist diffused in the canyon.
Wearing an invisibility cloak, Alva held up a telescope in one hand and kept writing and drawing with the other.
The picture album in his hand was already filled with sketches of the strange ancient dragon named "Styracosaurus".
ˆ “.”
The other figure lying next to him was motionless, and even his breathing could not be heard. If it weren't for the smell on a hot day, he would have suspected that it was a corpse.
“Miss Owl, what do you think?”
The dual-sword wielder from the dark night said nothing, didn't even turn his eyes, and completely ignored the young scribe's words.
Alva is also used to it. He knows that this guy will not participate in these "topics unrelated to the mission" and will only talk to himself to relieve his boredom.
“Xixisuosuo.”
There was a subtle sound of blades of grass being moved from behind, and the owl that looked like a corpse a second ago turned its head with a "swish".
is bone and fire sickle.
"The guild's airship has arrived, Meow, and brought new orders, Meow." Bones handed a small roll of letter paper to the owl's hand.
Owl checked the mark, unfolded it and read it quickly, then nodded, "I understand, I'll leave the surveillance here to you."
With that said, An Ye quickly stood up and pulled up the confused scrivener team member, "Let's go to the coast to help."
Alva was dragged so hard that he staggered, "Hey, don't pull me, don't pull me, let me put the album away first!"
“Silence!” The owl glared at him coldly.
Alva had to lower his voice, "What exactly is the new order? Can you tell me?"
Owl led Alva a few hundred meters away, and after confirming that even if he spoke loudly, it would not affect the sleeping ancient dragon in the small canyon, he spoke quickly:
“The evacuation of East Doruma has been completed, the battle street is almost ready, and the guild leaders decided not to delay.
So a high-speed airship was sent over, and highly potent explosives were delivered, preparing to blow up the Styracosaurus directly.
Scholars believe that the injured and awakened Styracosaurus would look for food everywhere, and a large amount of gunpowder and sulfur would be burning on the east side of Doruma, which should attract it there. "
“Carrying explosives.”
".All right."
The two of them walked hurriedly and came to the seaside. They saw Pig Chop directing the crew of the airship to carefully carry down the dangerous explosives.
and some other things.
“What are these?” Looking at the square sealed leather packages, Alva’s curiosity arose, “It shouldn’t be gunpowder.
For conventional gunpowder, this quantity shouldn’t be of much significance to the ancient dragon species? "
Pork Chop jumped down from the side of the ship and said excitedly: "Dragon-slaying carbon cat! The six servings of high-density dragon-slaying carbon cat are all high-quality cats prepared by Master Campbell himself!
It's possible to just blow up the giant Styracosaurus to death!
The leads have been installed, which is enough for us to set up the dragon-killing carbon and find a place to hide. "
“In other words, we just need to place all these explosives next to Styracosaurus and then run away, right?” Alva asked.
“That’s right, meow!”
"How are we going to enter the canyon filled with sulfuric acid mist?" Owl frowned and asked, "If we just walk in, we may not be able to hold on until we plant the explosives."
"A guild has prepared special equipment for us, meow!" Zhupa pointed at another pile of things next to the high-density dragon-killing carbon, ".Why is there a missing set, meow?"
“Because the cute doll is already wearing it, meow!” Xianglan jumped out.
It is equipped with a full-coverage thick cat armor and looks like a pink bear.
"This is the armored chinchilla armor, and the armored dragon suit?" Owl recognized the cat armor on Xianglan at a glance, as well as the armor piled aside.
As a member of the Dark Night, she knows almost all types of hunter armor and weapons, and is well aware of the effects, characteristics, and weaknesses of the armor.
As for the reason, it’s okay not to mention it.
Seeing the owl in the armored dragon suit, he nodded with confidence, "Since you have this set of equipment, it will be no problem."
The armor made of armored dragon material is unsatisfactory in terms of defensive performance. In addition, the bloated shape has a greater impact on activities, so it is not an excellent set of armor.
That is, the materials are easy to obtain, so only a small number of one-star and two-star hunters will build and use it.
However, the scope of application of this equipment is not limited to hunters.
Excellent sealing performance and large internal space make the Ankylosaurus suit shine in many industries.
For example, underwater exploration, mineral vein exploration in desert areas, underground excavation, etc. are welcomed and loved by many workers. (Official settings)
An armored dragon suit, plus a respirator filled with special oxygen algae, so that they can move freely even in the death zone filled with acid mist.
Of course, the Ankylosaurus suit will also be corroded by acid mist, and the amount of oxygen that can be stored in the respirator is also limited.
Fortunately, they don’t need to stay in the canyon for a long time. This set of equipment is completely sufficient.
“The guild has prepared two sets of armor and four sets of cat armor for us, but I feel that we still need to leave some people outside the canyon to watch out for the movements of the Styracosaurus.
Dragon-killing carbon is very dangerous, and must be transported with great care. Considering the flexibility of movement, one person can only carry two copies of it, and Elu can carry one copy.
Since there are six high-density dragon-killing carbon cats, both Alva and Miss Owl may need to enter the canyon. To be honest, it will be more dangerous. "
Speaking, Pig Chop looked at Alva, "Of course, meow, there is another plan, meow. Alva is out there on guard, meow, Miss Owl and the four of us."
“No! I’m going!”
Alva threw away his book bag and rushed towards his armored dragon suit feverishly, "An opportunity to get close contact with the ancient dragon species! Not to mention the danger, I will go even if I die here!"
ps. I’ll add an update occasionally, maybe around 10 o’clock 0v0
