Gordon used to worry about not being able to find traces of monsters, but now it's the opposite.
That roaring dragon really likes to run around, leaving traces and paw prints everywhere, making it difficult to judge its location.
Gordon Hayata and the others had no choice but to compare the marks one by one, trying to analyze the patterns of Honglong's movements and delineate the possible range of Honglong's activities.
This is a job that takes time and depends on luck. You may be walking in circles with your target for several days, or you may suddenly bump into it before you have time to analyze it carefully.
As they continued to explore, Gordon and the others discovered something strange.
I heard from the village chief's mother-in-law before that Honglong likes to hunt mammoths and should be more frequent near the main peak of the Snowy Mountains where the mammoth population is concentrated.
But judging from the footprints discovered now, not only did Honglong not linger there, he even seemed to always walk around the main peak?
Is it because prey is abundant enough on the tundra? Or is there any other reason?
Gordon and the others couldn't help but recall Yamos' previous reminder.
——There is a thunderstorm on the main peak of the Daxue Mountains, so stay away.
Even the fool knows that the "thunderstorm" Yamos mentioned does not refer to ordinary weather phenomena.
Is it some kind of terrifying monster?
With a rough guess in mind, Gordon and the others began to avoid the main peak. Their goal was only Honglong, and there was really no need to cause other trouble.
Up the hill again.
"Meow?!"
Pork Chop, who was looking around with a telescope, suddenly made a discovery.
It shouted excitedly, "Balloon Meow! There is actually an observation hot air balloon Meow!"
Hearing this, Gordon put down the cart and looked at it in surprise.
The pork chop is correct, and judging from the style, it should be the observation hot air balloon of the Gulong Observation Bureau.
Originally, the blizzard a few days ago had made him give up his hope for the appearance of hot air balloons. Unexpectedly, the Gulong Observation Bureau sent a new observation hot air balloon so quickly?
In any case, it is a good thing to encounter them. Observing hot air balloons can help them save a lot of energy and time.
Hayata took out a small mirror and reflected the sunlight towards the hot air balloon, attracting the attention of the observers above.
Gordon also stood on the cart and waved vigorously towards the hot air balloon.
It didn’t take long for feedback to come from the hot air balloon.
Gordon squinted, reading the reflective signals carefully.
"Snow Lion King, due east, mountainside, six kilometers away, uh, we are not looking for Snow Lion King.
Ah, here it comes, Honglong is four kilometers west by north, okay! "
Gordon waved to the hot air balloon again to express his gratitude.
"The approximate location of Honglong has been confirmed, let's speed up."
This is a secondary peak of the Snow Mountain. The mountain is not too steep. Hayata helped push the cart together, so it was not very difficult.
Pork Chop and Pandan climbed onto the cart, stood above the explosive barrels, and looked around cautiously.
Ellu cats' hearing and smell are much more sensitive than humans. With them on the alert, at least you don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters.
This place has entered the range of Honglong activities for observing hot air balloon returns. At this time, the strings in their hearts have been completely tightened.
Even Pandan, who was the least nervous, pricked up her little ears and carefully captured every movement in the environment.
Gordon stopped suddenly.
An unexplained palpitating feeling came over him, as if something was staring at him.
"It's nearby."
Gordon whispered, put down the cart full of explosives, took a few steps forward, and placed his palm in a position where he could pull out the sword at any time.
Xianglan's ears twitched, and she suddenly looked towards the top of a cliff not far away, "Meow over there!"
Almost at the same time it sounded the alarm, a huge dark yellow shadow jumped high from the cliff. It was unclear whether it was flying or jumping, and it spanned a distance of nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Then it fell from the sky like a meteorite and crashed in front of the hunters.
"Hoho-!"
The huge mouth full of fangs opened wide, and the piercing roar shook the fine snow falling in the air, almost turning into ripples visible to the naked eye, sweeping around.
Amid the roar, Hayata and Elu covered their ears tightly, their bodies stiff and unable to move.
Even if Gordon was affected to a certain extent, the special "ear plug" design of the Blue Fire Dragon helmet could not completely isolate this level of loud noise.
After finishing its roar, Honglong immediately launched an attack, rushing toward the hunters.
The vigorous posture of crawling on four legs, and the huge mouth that is constantly opening and closing like a hunting trap, indeed carry an unspeakable sense of oppression, as if it will be torn into pieces and swallowed into its belly in the next second.
"Hayata!"
"Understood!" Hayata drank a bottle of ghost medicine and galloped towards Honglong.
Honglong also didn't expect that this little prey didn't run away when facing him, but approached him on his own initiative.
The beast's brain, which is full of manic desire to attack, will not hesitate because of such a trivial matter.
Honglong crossed its head, opened its huge mouth, and bit Hayata who rushed in front of it without sparing any effort.
Hayata remained calm throughout.
Facing the bloody mouth that was about to cover her, she breathed softly and unsheathed the flying dragon sword.
He swung his blade sideways and slashed down, and the slender blade cut a bloody gash at the corner of Honglong's mouth.
At the same time, she slipped and staggered, successfully avoiding the bite range of Honglong, and came to the side of the latter's head.
Stab, upward, cassock chop, reverse cassock chop, a whole set of sword moves are released instantly, and the sword never leaves Honglong's head and neck.
Honglong roared wildly and counterattacked with its strong front paws.
Hayata did not dare to draw the sword greedily, and while swinging his cassock to slash, he jumped back decisively, opened some distance, and dodged the sharp claws of Honglong.
"The trap is ready, meow!" Pork Chop shouted from behind.
Hayata immediately put away the sword, turned around and retreated.
How could Honglong, who had been stabbed several times, just let her go like this?
It roared, its muscular limbs dug through the snow and even the hard rock ground, and rumbled in pursuit of Hayata, who was running wildly.
"babble!"
Honglong's pursuit was faster than she imagined, and his posture was really scary. Hayata couldn't help but exclaimed, and accelerated his steps by two points.
Not far ahead, Pandan and Pork Chop were waving their claws at her vigorously.
"Meow meow meow!"
"Hurry up, meow! It's coming soon, meow!"
The paralysis trap flashing with electric light was right in front of her, and Honglong's heavy breathing with the stench of blood had already reached behind her ears.
Hayata's legs suddenly exerted force, and he leaped forward and threw himself down. While avoiding the bite of the booming dragon, he brought the latter into the range of the paralysis trap.
"Roaring, roaring, roaring -"
Honglong, who was controlled by the paralysis trap, roared.
Xianglan hurriedly pulled up Hayat, and quickly moved away from him and the cat.
Gordon, who had been preparing for a long time, pushed the large barrel of explosive bombs on the cart and rushed over in big strides.
The explosive barrel was directly connected to the cart and stopped on Honglong's face.
Pig Chop also ran quickly to the explosive barrel, placed a small barrel of explosive bombs for detonation, and pulled the fuse.
At this time, we can no longer control the recycling of pallets. We will compensate the villagers for their losses later.
Gordon and Pork Chop turned around and ran wildly, counting the seconds in their mouths as they ran. At the last moment before the bomb was detonated, they fell to the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The power of the four large barrel bombs detonating together was extraordinary. Explosive flames, smoke and scattered fragments enveloped Honglong's body.
Ps.
The damage determination of multiple large barrel bombs detonating at the same time will not be discussed in "reality".
