In order to conserve their physical strength as much as possible and ensure the concealment of their actions, the hunters did not move very fast.
They were far apart from each other, making the formation very loose.
Gordon, the leader of the team, explored nearly fifty meters alone.
In the center of the team were two shooters, about twenty meters apart, forming a sharp triangle with Gordon in front.
Hayata, who was at the end of the team, was further behind. If the moonlight hadn't been bright tonight, she might not have been able to see where Gordon was at the front of the team.
The formation was so loose that it almost completely lost the meaning of covering each other.
But it doesn't matter.
From a bird's eye view from a high altitude, this formation is the least likely to be discovered, and this advantage is enough.
In today's Lingfeng Mountains, except for the mist dragon, there is no monster that can threaten any of them. The need for quick support after being attacked by a monster seems irrelevant.
The hunter and Ellu spent a peaceful five or six hours, and the time came to midnight.
The mountain road with a straight line distance of 11 kilometers was rugged and difficult to walk, but even if they deliberately slowed down their pace and took a long detour, the planned journey tonight was coming to an end.
Under the cover of night, Gordon could already vaguely see the so-called mountain peak that "looked like Bobo" - that was the end point of their night's operation.
Gordon, who had been walking for most of the night, couldn't help but breathe softly, relaxing his nerves that had been tense for a long time, and he would be able to rest soon.
However, at this moment, a drop of cold liquid fell on his face.
He paused slightly and looked up at the sky.
The originally clear night sky became covered with a layer of thick dark clouds at some point.
The second and third drops of rain fell one after another, and soon they formed lines and sheets.
The endless rain, the sound of rain, and the earthy smell caused by the melted dust in the rain enveloped everything around.
Gordon immediately stopped and raised his fist in a "warning" gesture.
Then he didn't care about the wet and muddy ground under his feet, and lay down, using the cover of his camouflage cloak to hide himself.
The two shooters who were forty or fifty meters away, and Hayata who was nearly a hundred meters away, also stopped one after another and hid on the ground.
This kind of hiding has happened more than ten times tonight.
They do this whenever there is rain falling in the sky, or there are denser clouds, or even a slightly noticeable sound of wind.
There are no dangers every time.
But only this time, Gordon felt particularly nervous.
A minute, no, half a minute ago, he had looked up at the sky.
There were obviously few clouds in the sky at that time, and the naturally formed clouds would never have gathered so quickly.
If it were in other places, he might have the time to think about the cause of this wonderful phenomenon, but in the Lingfeng Mountains, there is basically only one possibility of this happening.
——Lanlong is here.
This is why he still chose to hide in place while the cave was only a few hundred meters away from his target resting point, which could be said to be right in front of him.
He was not the only one who noticed this. Hilda, who was also lying on the ground, disguised as a rock, reached out her hand and quickly made a few gestures behind her.
At this distance, and in the dark night, it is almost impossible for human eyesight to see the rapidly changing sign language.
But Pork Chop saw clearly.
It whispered Hilda's message to Hayata beside it, "She said, come, hide, stay calm."
Hayata pursed her lips, slowed down her breathing as much as possible, and suppressed her sense of presence.
"call--."
This was the sound of wind, but Gordon was keenly aware that there was some strange noise mixed with the sound of wind.
It's a bit like the soft sound of wind blowing through curtains, and a bit like the whirring of paper pinwheels.
Gordon, who was lying on the ground, slowly turned his head, using the cover of his cloak hood to carefully observe the sky from the corner of his eye.
really.
Under the clouds, a figure that was so gorgeous that it seemed like it should not exist in this world was dancing and tumbling at the edge of the clouds.
At this time, Gordon felt an inexplicable excitement about "Long time no see".
He quickly calmed down and used reason to overcome his sudden emotion.
It’s been a long time, it’s better not to see you again
The rain is getting heavier.
Gordon felt like he was soaked all over, and the rain slid down his skin and into his eyes, stinging them, but he didn't even dare to blink hard.
"Ugh——."
The Misty Dragon high in the sky suddenly let out a long roar as it circled and lowered its height.
The hunters who secretly observed Lanlong's movements couldn't help but feel excited.
Discovered?
Uncertain yet, the hunters continued to remain motionless.
The height of the dragon dropped further, and through the barrier of the rain curtain, Gordon could even see the wonderful patterns between the spinous fins of the dragon that exuded a mysterious halo.
At this moment, the purple-red markings reflected in the corner of his eye suddenly flashed with light.
Gordon's pupils crinkled.
After spending most of the night with Lan Long, he knew very well that the color of the spinous fins and the brightness of those mysterious markings could reflect Lan Long's mood to a certain extent.
For example, when it is angry, the white spiny fins of the dragon will be stained with dark clouds, and when it is emotional, those markings will light up.
That flash of light.
If he guessed correctly, Lan Long should have discovered some flaws, but he is not sure yet.
So its height is still decreasing.
"Can't wait any longer."
Tens of meters away, another pair of eyes also noticed the subtle abnormality appearing on Lan Long. Hilda whispered to herself, just when she was about to remind Gordon loudly, take the initiative to expose him, and launch a seduction operation.
Gordon, who was lying on the ground, suddenly pulled off his visor, jumped up, and ran forward.
It is easiest to find it by turning from static.
Lanlong, who was about to carefully confirm something strange, suddenly turned his head and looked at Gordon, who was running at full speed.
It remembers this guy.
It was this guy, this guy who had been contaminated with an ominous aura, who broke the seal!
At least that's what it thinks.
"唳——!"
The purple-red light spot exploded brightly, and amidst the roar of the wind that suddenly became fierce, the Lanlong swung its spinous fins and chased after it.
Ever since that guy destroyed the seal, the aura that made him fear and hate him became more and more obvious.
It can't even sleep.
Dealing with him might end this!
Gordon, who was running away at full speed, didn't know that Lan Long, who had been troubled by insomnia, anxiety, and even depression for a long time, transferred the uncontrollable anger in his heart to him.
Looking back at the dragon that suddenly became furious in the sky, Gordon couldn't help but feel a little baffled.
No, is it necessary to be so angry? What happened to me? If I remember correctly, it was you who chased me for most of the night last time, right?
A few seconds after Gordon led Lan Long and rushed out, Ancil and Hilda, who were not far away from each other, also stood up, widened the distance to both sides, and rushed after them.
Hayata was left alone, lying on the spot like a real stone, motionless.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes
She bit her lip and watched her companions lure the furious Lan Long out of sight before getting up.
"Pork chop, pandan, let's go."
Ps.
A patient suffering from anxiety and depression suddenly saw a mouse at home one day, but he didn't catch it. After the mouse ran away, his symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety were significantly aggravated, so the next time he saw the same mouse at home.
