Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 105 Mineral Veins
The Thunder Wolf Dragon and the Lightning Insect are in a symbiotic relationship.

When the Thunder Wolf Dragon discharges, it can turn the Lightning Bug into a super-electric Lightning Bug in a way similar to the induced mutation.

The super electric lightning bug will give back to the Thunder wolf dragon, enough thunder attribute energy, allowing it to enter the super electric state within a certain period of time.

Among them, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is dominant, and can even guide the super-electric Lightning Bug living on its back to form a charged ball of light to carry out flying strikes.

It didn't make sense to run after Lei Guangchong, but the other party remained unmoved.

Li Fan felt that the only reasonable reason was that the Thunder Wolf Dragon had lost the ability to stimulate the mutated Thunder Light Worm.

This coincides with the problem with the power storage capacity recorded by the investigators.

The lack of this ability is fatal to Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The boss of the ethnic group must not even think about being the boss, and being expelled is inevitable.

At the beginning, because Puff wanted to stay away from Xunlong, he migrated from Shuimei Forest to the surrounding area of ​​Kara Village.

As a result, the thunder wolf dragon was highly alert, and thus began an indiscriminate attack, threatening the safety of Kara Village.

After the joint hunting suffered heavy losses, it made another trip to the volcano.
What a fate.

Li Fan sighed in his heart, feeling that what happened to this thunder wolf dragon was like the fate of human beings.

But he still didn't understand what Thunder Wolf Dragon was doing in the volcano area.

The pressure of survival in the wild here is obviously much higher than in most areas, and the number of thunder bugs is also very limited.

If you encounter any powerful monsters, you may die here.

After thinking for a long time, there was no result, so Li Fan decided not to investigate further.

The dust gushing out from the giant crater meets the gray sky, covering the sky and the sun.

The airship penetrated a little into the core area of ​​the volcano, and there was no longer a ray of sunlight.

However, the mountains under the smoke and dust are not dark, the slowly flowing red magma reflects everything on the ground into red.

When Li Fan passed by the kitchen, he took a carrot from the cutting board and came to the bow while eating.

Leaf, who came back with a pot of vegetables, scratched his head in doubt when he saw that the freshly peeled carrots were missing.

"Di Lu, it's time for a shift."

"Uh, I'm not sleeping meow!"

Dilu on the bench suddenly jumped up.

"Very well, you can go to sleep now, I will replace you."

Li Fan informed.

Under the shroud of gray dust, it was impossible to distinguish day and night from the sky.

But Li Fan knew that it was early in the morning, and Di Lu had been standing at the bow of the ship all night in order to monitor the reaction of the hull in real time.

"Okay meow! Don't call me for breakfast and lunch, I want to sleep through the night and accumulate enough energy!"

After Di Lu finished speaking, she rubbed her eyes and came to the kitchen, and opened the small hatch that was converted into a pot lid.

goo~ goo~
Hearing the sound of her shriveled belly, Di Lu looked around and picked up the vegetable bowl.

"Flower leaves, three leaves, leaves meow! I took this vegetable salad home and ate it meow!"

After Di Lu shouted, she held the vegetable bowl and got into the cat cat slide pipe.

Returning with a bundle of carrot leaves, looking at the empty cutting board, scratching his head again.

Since it is a mineral exploration ship, many details have been modified to facilitate detection.

Although it is the shell of the hull that can resonate with the Hexing Stone, Hua Lai installed a vertical guide pin on the bow.

The observer does not need to observe the shell all the time, as long as there is nothing to pay attention to the guide pin.

In terms of safety, since the speed of the airship cannot be too fast during the detection operation, the golden wake with the ability to disperse cannot be used yet.

But the little idiot, naughty, and Xixi's taking turns guarding have already made most monsters dare not approach.

So what Li Fan has to do at the bow of the ship is basically to mark the detected areas on the map.

After probing for about five hours.

Clap!

A red electric light appeared at the tip of the guiding needle.

"Stop marching!"

Li Fan shouted to the bridge at the stern of the ship, and Ferry immediately stopped the Yanhuo.

Running to the bulwark and looking down, a strange red aura is rising from the ground and continuously pouring into the outer shell of the spaceship.

"Is there a new discovery?"

Eudora ran over quickly.

"Well, there is likely to be a Hexingite vein below. The surrounding terrain is relatively hard, so we should try to explore it."

Li Fan analyzed.

"Wait, isn't the Hexingite vein exposed on the surface?"

Eudora said unexpectedly.

"I read from the data that a small part will be exposed to the surface."

"I bought more than a dozen G-grade mining picks on purpose. I thought... this seems to be beyond our ability?"

Eudora asked tentatively.

"It's okay. For this exploration, I specially formed an expert team. As long as we find out where the ore veins are, we can follow the other party's instructions on how to explore."

"Expert Group"

Eudora looked back at the deck of the ship, but couldn't remember anyone else traveling with her.

After reaching the ground, the team came to the position where the red aura kept emerging.

Take out three elf balls, Zhan Zhan, Yaya, and Rusha appear soon.

"This is your expert group?"

Eudora asked in surprise.

"That's right, Zhan Zhan, an expert in minerals, Ya Ya, an expert in rock formations, and Sha Sha, an expert in construction."

After Li Fan's introduction, he began to tell the monsters about their exploration needs.

Chopping is more comfortable, and the mud on the surface of Rusha's body quickly dries up.

The most uncomfortable teeth, the sweat continued to emerge.

"You come first, Yaya, as long as you believe that the soil layer here can be excavated safely."

Li Fan gave the deployment.

Yaya ran briefly on the rock formation, and after confirming that it was relatively stable, he crawled sideways and fell on the ground.

Aww.
"Zhan Zhan, you jump, and then step down with the greatest strength."

Li Fan conveyed Yaya's thoughts.

Ow!Zhan Zhan roared all over his body, his feet gained momentum for a while, and he jumped up.

Boom!The ground trembled and the rock formations sunk.

Yaya got up by crawling and feeling the shock.

Aww.
"The rock formation below is very stable, so it can be excavated, right? Okay, let's get into the ball."

Li Fan then put Yaya in the adaptation ball.

Zhan Zhan uses his sensitive detection of minerals to leave an X-shaped mark on the ground with his tail blade to locate the discovered digging point.

Shasha arched the ground with her head crown and excavated at the positioning point.

However, due to the hard ground here, the efficiency is not very fast.

"If the Hexing stone veins are found, will the crisis of Tianhuilong be resolved, meow?"

Dilu, who was watching and exploring, asked.

"Not necessarily. Even if Huihui really comes to the volcano, she will inevitably have disputes with those terrifying existences in the forbidden area of ​​the volcano. The only advantage is that no matter how great the crisis is, it is usually limited to the volcano area."

Li Fan speculated.

It is definitely better for one region to suffer than all regions to be threatened, not to mention that there are very few humans active in volcanic regions.

Hey!
The rustling in the pits of the rock formation let out a roar.

The team saw the red rocks exposed at the bottom of the pit, and quickly descended to the side.

throat!
Udora went down with a pickaxe, and the red rocks cracked. Li Fan and Di Lu immediately picked up the fragments and observed them in front of their eyes.

"The color is great meow."

Di Lu opened the backpack, took out the scorching carapace fragments and approached, and the red light appeared again.

"It is indeed He Xingshi! I found it, meow!"

Li Fanyou and Doradilu hugged each other, cheering and celebrating.

The next thing to do is to prove the reserves.

With the continuous excavation of the sand, the strip-shaped Hexingite veins gradually appeared.

When the exposed length is about 8 meters, a dark rock formation appears.

ah?Isn't that all?This should only be a small portion of the entire lode.

With a feeling of apprehension, Li Fan directed Shasha to dig down, but after digging less than five meters, black rock formations appeared again.

The team went forward to dig for a while, and when the irregular-shaped Hexingite vein appeared as a whole, Yudora and Dilu hadn't noticed anything yet, but Li Fan was already ashamed.

"Such a large Hexingite vein, at least enough for Tianhuilong to use for 20 years?"

Eudora stepped on the vein, speculated.

"It doesn't seem right, meow?"

Di Lu looked puzzled.

"What's wrong, isn't this the Hexingite vein we're looking for?"

Eudora asked puzzled.

"According to the fragments I collected, it can only be stimulated for a short period of time by a scorching carapace. If you want to maintain the jet flight of Tianhuilong, at least it can't be calculated, but it seems that this vein of minerals is not enough."

Dilu expressed his opinion.

"Li Fan, Di Lu said. Why are you squatting on the ground?"

"Nothing, just a little tired."

Li Fan looked hopeless.

"Could it be true?"

Eudora asked tentatively.

"You know Tongtian Tower, right?"

"I know."

"Except for the rock wall of the Tongtian Tower, there is a whole vein of Hexingite inside."

"It turns out that to satisfy the habitat of Tianhuilong, so many Hexing stones are needed."

Eudora suddenly realized.

She knew why Li Fan was depressed.

The volcano is already the most ore-rich area. If the Hexing stone reserves here cannot satisfy Tianhuilong, then the possibility of other areas is even smaller.

"Huh? The lack of Hexing stone veins, could it be the reason why Tianhuilong was almost extinct before?"

Eudora speculated.

With the flying height of Tianhuilong, there are no natural enemies at all.

It may be the Hexing stone that can reduce its number to extinction and be considered extinct.

After all, the team has just experienced the difficulty of exploration and mining.

"If the body metabolism of Tianhuilong needs to use the Hexing stone, it is very possible."

A sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of Li Fan's heart. He didn't expect to be as strong as Tianhuilong, but also to be strictly restricted by the ecological environment.

The ecology of Monster Hunter World is like a market for equivalent exchange. Anyone who has any ability has to pay a corresponding price, and no one can escape.

"In that case, if you can't find the Hexing Stone, it doesn't seem so bad. Maybe the Tianhuilong will perish by itself before causing a crisis."

Eudora speculated.

"No, that's the scariest thing"

Li Fan sighed.

"why?"

"Because Tianhuilong will spare no effort to find the Hexing Stone before its life ends. According to its mobility, the area it can reach may be much larger than the area currently discovered by humans. By then All the monsters in the area will migrate around on a large scale because they are afraid of the ancient dragon, and the human settlements will suffer."

"No wonder the Dragon Calendar Academy attaches so much importance to it"

Eudora said with emotion.

"You go back first, I will guide the little idiot and naughty to hoist this giant mineral vein up."

Hunting and killing Tianhuilong head-on is the only way Li Fan can think of right now.

Because even if the capture is successful, he does not have enough Hexing Stones to maintain the huge consumption of Tianhuilong.

As for discovering other Hexingite veins, Li Fan felt that it was of little significance.

Because as long as the Hexingite veins owned at this stage are exhausted, Tianhuilong will still enter the search state.

This is its inherent ecological habit. There is no right or wrong, but it is a huge threat to human beings.

The catastrophe and the eradication of Tianhuilong are the only two choices at present.

Bind the two ends of the giant vein with worm silk, and as the little idiot lifts into the air, the giant vein continues to rise.

Li Fan put Sha Sha and Zhan Zhan into the elf ball, and grabbed a lowered cable.

When it reached a certain distance, Li Fan found a small problem.

That is because the distance between the Hexingite vein and the hull is getting closer, and the intensity of the red lightning generated between the two is also increasing.

"It seems that we will have to find a water source later, let the sand and some mud come out, and paste it on the surface of the vein as a blocking layer."

Li Fan muttered.

As for the danger that it would cause, he didn't think there was any need to worry about it.

The scorching carapace is separated from the Tianhuilong, and it is just a simple material.

After the absorption of Hexing Stone reaches saturation, it will stop absorbing.

Zi la la!Zi la la!
The strange red and black electric light continuously exploded on the surface of the hull.

But as the energy absorbed by the carapace approached saturation, the resonance effect began to gradually weaken.

The cable continued to rise, and Li Fan stepped over the bulwark to the deck.

"Uh, there are a lot of flying insects!"

Dilu looked ahead and exclaimed.

Li Fan turned his head and looked over, and indeed saw a black swarm of flying insects.

"I'm going to get the bug net meow."

Dilu said and rushed to the kitchen.

"Oh, that's strange, what kind of flying insect is this?"

Not only has Li Fan never seen this flying insect, but he also has some incomprehensible habits.

It's okay to travel in groups, why don't you go anywhere, but come towards the airship.

snap!The first flying insect hit the hull of the ship without any deceleration buffer at all.

The six claws under the body clasped the shell, and the two membrane wings spread out, and a black light flashed in the exposed transparent abdomen.

Oh!

The hull was saturated with energy, and the black aura slowly spilling out was absorbed by the flying insects into the abdomen.

While the size of the flying insect swelled slightly, a red and black light appeared from the abdomen.

Not long after, with the arrival of the insect swarm, more and more flying insects attached to the surface of the hull, absorbing the overflowing energy.

Since the energy had a place to go, the energy attached to the scorching carapace gradually faded, and the absorption of the Hexingite veins began again.

"You guys are here for the buffet!"

Li Fan held the bulwarks with both hands and shouted downwards.

"I'm here, meow! Let me catch one and see what it is!"

Di Lu, who was holding the bug net, came running quickly.

"No, I have a faster way to tell!"

As Li Fan said, he took a silver crown ball from his shoulder strap.

"Choose which one you can suck the most!"

Look for one and throw the ball.

Due to the forceful throw, the black flying insect was knocked over in mid-air, turning into white light and flying into the ball.

Gee!Gee!Gee!
Capture success!

Li Fan quickly took out his handheld to check.

"Erosion dragon insect?"
