Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 66 The Blade of Burning Flame
"If you cut the dragon... now is not the time to fight."

Eudora said with some concern.

The team will indeed try to hunt Zhanlong this time, but it will never be unprepared.

"Wait a minute, since we know Qiankoulong is going there, why don't we go there and make arrangements in advance?"

Li Fan changed his mind.

"Oh! Yes!"

Eudora suddenly realized.

For an ordinary hunter team, even if the monster is seriously injured and dying, it is not easy to launch a chase.

It is already very difficult to be able to follow closely without letting the monster disappear in the field of vision.

Not to mention traveling faster than monsters, to do advance deployment.

That's why in Kara Village, many hunters resisted hunting big monster birds.

But they are different, the addition of the little idiot has brought about a fundamental change in the way of hunting and tracking.

Not only can it be followed closely from a high altitude, but as long as the terrain permits, it is also possible to overtake and deploy in advance.

Hu~hu~
The little idiot climbed to the altitude, flew smoothly for a while, and after reaching the sky above Observation Point 2, he dived down rapidly.

When approaching the ground, the team members jumped onto the sand one after another in order to buy time.

"Sure enough, there are no other monsters"

Li Fan glanced at the situation on the nearby sand plain, turned around and looked at the dark cave entrance in the rock behind him, and planned his deployment.

"If Zhanlong really lived in a cave, Qiankoulong would not be able to dig through the sandstone below to attract the opponent's attention from the ground. As for appearing from under the sand, it would be even more impossible to crawl into the cave entrance. The dragon must have some way of getting Zhanlong's attention outside the cave."

The scene of Qiankoulong using wind and sand jets emerged in Li Fan's mind.

"It will release wind and sand jets to the cave, which will attract Zhanlong's attention. This is an excellent opportunity to capture."

The release of the wind and sand jet not only needs to absorb the surrounding sand and gravel, but the huge mouth of the Qiankoulong and its upper body must also emerge from the sand.

Li Fan felt that this opportunity could be used.

"What if we just sit back and watch?"

Eudora speaks out.

"This is indeed safer, but there will be two situations. One is that Qiankoulong keeps attracting provocative Zhanlong under the sand to be its bodyguard and interfere with the hunting. Our situation is not bad at present, but it will be hard to say if it continues to consume , Another situation is that the Qiankoulong is out of play, and it is really attacked by Zhanlong, and the hope of capturing it will also be shattered."

"Looking at it this way, letting Qiankoulong move will indeed be detrimental to the team."

After listening to the explanation, Yudora also agreed with Li Fan's judgment.

He took off the two elf balls from the shoulder strap and opened them, a white light flashed, and Shasha and Yeye appeared on the sandy surface.

Boom!Boom!
After stepping on the familiar sand twice, Shasha raised her head and jumped happily.

Yeye lowered her head abruptly, raised one wing to cover the scorching sun, turned her head sideways frequently to look around, and her round red eyes widened to the extreme.

Who am I?Where is this?state of panic.

Cuckoo~ Cuckoo? Cuckoo!

After a burst of rapid chirping, Yeye lowered her head and picked up the opened poke ball with her beak.

After bouncing twice on the hot clawed sand, he came to Li Fan, as if he was signaling to put me in the ball quickly.

"Calm down, Yeye, I know it's daytime and it's hot, and there are no trees, so I'll just ask a question, in this environment, are you confident that you can restrain the opponent for a short time? Just a short time. "

After Li Fan comforted him, he asked seriously.

Coo. Coo!

"Then it's up to you later, remember that when it reappears, it's time to face Zhanlong."

After Li Fan finished speaking, he collected Yeye into the ball.

Since Qiankoulong can attract Zhanlong, it will serve as a bodyguard against the hunter team.

Yeye had lived with Zhanlong in the ancient forest for so long, theoretically there would be a way to contain and escape after the encounter.

To say that the only thing that affects their performance may be the extremely unfriendly environment towards Sha Yuan and Ye Ye.

"Shusha, you. Shasha?"

Li Fan was about to deploy, when he raised his eyes, he realized that Rusha had disappeared.

puff~ puff~
A rustling crest carapace emerges from the sand.

"Well, it's a very good mimicry camouflage, even I was fooled. The speed of the submerged dragon sand is very fast, and it is very difficult for you to dig the ground to catch up. Why don't you go to the area in front of the cave to dig a hole and wait for the sandstorm to gather momentum. When attacking from time to time, Qiankoulong is very sensitive to sound vibrations, try to control the sound when lurking, if you encounter Zhanlong, you will dig the ground, and the opponent will have nothing to do with you."

After listening to Li Fan's deployment, Rusha digested for a while, and then the crown sank into the sand, and gradually went away with a rumbling sound.

Li Fan took two deep breaths of the sultry air with his nose, feeling the smell of dyed fruit approaching, so he rode the little idiot into the air again.

The injured and bent dorsal fin soon appeared on the sand plain.

When approaching the entrance of the cave, the speed slowed down significantly, and it seemed that he was also afraid of using Zhanlong and Qiankoulong.

But after detouring twice on the sand, it still chose to rush towards the entrance of the cave.

When it was about 30 meters away, there was a short pause, and the surrounding sand began to sink.

At this time, the sand in front of him suddenly parted, and the lurking rustle appeared, holding the sand with its crown and carapace, kicking its legs and rushing forward.

Qiankoulong didn't dodge, but accelerated the speed of absorbing gravel.

call!The huge mouth that had completed the momentum opened suddenly, and a jet of wind and sand gushed out.

Shasha, who bumped head-on into the airflow of flying sand, slowed down his pace a little, was pushed back a little distance in translation, and his stout lower limbs stepped deeply into the sand.

Gradually accelerate step by step and continue to rush forward.

As for the rest of the airflow of flying sand, they all poured into the abyss-like dark mountain caves, causing a gust of wind to echo.

After Qiankoulong released the wind and sand spray, he thought he had cleared the obstacles in front of him, but he realized that the situation was wrong when he heard the rapid trampling sound.

when!The skull and crown collided together, and several shattered fangs in the huge mouth were scattered on the sand.

At this time, the little idiot who swooped down from a high altitude was about to approach from behind. Li Fan clenched the elf ball in his hand, ready to throw and catch it.

However, the diamond-shaped carapace on the back of the Qiankoulong unfolded again.

boom!Numerous airflows of flying sand are discharged from the air holes in the shell.

The little idiot was forced to retreat, and the thrown high-level elf ball was directly bounced off by the airflow.

"So tenacious meow!"

Di Lu, who failed to make up the dyed ball, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Qiankoulong took the opportunity to quickly dive into the sand, and Shasha also dug holes in situ, launching a pursuit from the sand layer.

However, due to the difference in speed, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

Boom! Boom!
The sound of heavy trampling came from the cave. Li Fan on the dragon's back turned his head to wait and see. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a giant orange blade.

Qiankoulong seemed to have sensed something, and not only did not evade, but instead rushed towards the entrance of the cave. Li Fan saw that the slow-moving Sasha was also following, and quickly shouted: "Don't follow Sasha! It is tempting you to go there!!! "

Hearing the shout, Rusha in the sand layer stopped chasing immediately.

"Quickly dig down in place! Go as deep as possible!"

After Li Fan gave the order again, Qiankoulong slowed down when he saw that the hunter team did not dare to pursue rashly.

"There is no chance to capture, even if you release Yeye to hold Zhanlong, it doesn't make much sense."

Li Fan feels that Qiankoulong must be deeply bound to Zhanlong this time.

"It's a fishing rod meow!"

Dilu exclaimed.

"Now is not the time to think about dried fish"

"It's not the dried fish, it's the fishing rod!"

Di Lu reminded again.

"Fishing rod? Could it be?"

After Li Fan finished speaking, he bent down with Yudora and watched, and found that behind Qiankoulong, the fishing rod made of strong keel was being dragged continuously on the sand surface under the traction of iron worm wire.

"Could it be that Rusha knocked this and the fishing rod out just now?"

Just when Li Fan felt that there might be a turning point, a huge figure poked its head out of the hole.

The blue carapace protruding in the form of flames, like an extremely well-fitting armor, wraps the entire head in it.

Only the fierce eyes and the big mouth full of sharp teeth are left, giving people a sense of coldness.

The red carapace attached to the back glowed with a dark red shimmer as the heat rose, as if lava was flowing inside.

Bang!Bang!
As it moved forward, the petite front paws and heavy three-toed paws were revealed one after another, and a giant blue tail blade that took up nearly half of the total length of the body was gradually exposed to the scorching sun.

hiss!hiss!
The tip of the tail blade, which was calcined to orange, dragged on the sand, leaving a scorched brown ditch.

Li Fan swallowed his saliva, thought for a moment, and released Yeye.

In order to avoid the sun, Yeye quickly flew under the little fool.

"Yeye, are you sure you can hold Zhanlong?"

After observing Zhanlong from a closer position, Li Fan hesitated.

Goooo!

"Well, safety first."

After Li Fan finished speaking, Yeye swung his wings sideways and flew towards Zhanlong.

"Little idiot, fly at a very low altitude, follow up."

Hearing Li Fan's words, Udora Dilu knew what to do even if she didn't need to communicate, and untied the ropes that fixed her body one after another.

Qiankoulong was originally gliding leisurely in the sand, but when it felt the wind pressure approaching, it immediately accelerated.

The little idiot dropped again and again, and when the sand scraped his paws from time to time, he finally got close to the fishing rod that was constantly being swung on the sand.

Yudora tightly grasped Li Fan's ankle on the dragon's back, so that he could reach out to grab it while lying on the edge of the wing, but there was always a short distance.

"I'm coming to meow!"

Di Lu said as she stepped on Li Fan's wrist armor and wanted to crawl forward.

Li Fan didn't try any more, but grabbed Di Lu's small belt and lifted it forward as much as possible.

Tut~ Tut~
While the cat's claws were waving frequently, it finally caught the fishing rod.

Yudora looked sideways, and saw that the team was approaching Zhanlong, and quickly gave a reminder: "Zhanlong!"

"understood!"

Li Fan, who quickly sat back on the seat, stretched the fishing rod back a part. After Yudora grabbed it firmly, he shouted: "One! Two! Three! Take off!!!"

The little idiot's wings flicked violently, the huge wind pressure made his body temporarily stagnant, and then he flapped quickly and frequently, trying his best to climb the height.

The iron worm threads in the sand swung into the air, quickly tightened, and turned into a straight diagonal line.

"Ugh!"

"Hi!"

"Meow!"

Together, the team leaned back with all their strength and pulled the fishing rod.

The body of Qiankoulong gradually floated up, and after more than ten seconds, it was directly dragged to the surface of the sand.

However, this is not over yet, as the little idiot continues to lift into the sky, Qiankoulong is being gradually taken away from the ground.

Watching Zhan Long attacking by the ring-shaped hypnotic sound wave, his eyelids became heavier.

Just when he opened his mouth to breathe.

Paji!A submerged dragon was stuck to his face.

This unprepared impact in sleepiness, if not for the support provided by the rocks behind, almost made Zhanlong lose his balance.

Seeing this, Yeye shrinks her neck in fright, sees Zhanlong staring at her, flaps her wings and flies away quickly.

However, this still failed to appease Zhanlong's anger, and a roar resounded across the desert.

Li Fan bound the iron worm wire to the hook loaded with supplies, then grabbed the iron worm wire and dropped it down, muttering in his mouth: "Joining this kind of thing is a two-way rush. If you continue to resist, then I will I can only send you down to play with Zhanlong, and then you can only pray that you don't land on your back."

After Li Fan finished speaking, he turned on the poke ball and faced the Qiankoulong who was caught vertically in mid-air.

He wasn't threatening, but once he received the elf ball and got rid of the shackles of the fishhook, if the submerged dragon failed to be captured and his figure recovered at high altitude, it would inevitably fall into the sand below.

Whoosh!Qiankoulong turned into white light and entered the opened high-level ball.

Gee!Gee!Gee!
The sphere trembled three times, and the capture was achieved!

Just as the team breathed a sigh of relief, the little idiot's flying posture immediately became erratic.

Yudora quickly pulled the iron worm wire upwards, bringing Li Fan back to the dragon's back.

"Little idiot must have exhausted his energy too much today. He needs to find a high platform to make an emergency landing. Everyone fix themselves with ropes."

Li Fan informed.

Not long after, the little idiot landed on a rock platform by gliding, and after sliding close to the ground for more than ten meters to stop, he simply lay on his side on the ground.

After Yeye landed and hid in the shadows, Li Fan praised it and put it into the elf ball.

Although resting outside the ball can relieve fatigue more effectively, Li Fan really can't let go of leaving the little idiot here alone.

As for why the team couldn't stay here, it was mainly due to the pressure of food.

The little idiot is currently unable to prey on its own, and it will not be a big problem if it is put in a satiety ball for a period of time.

But if you want to continue to participate in hunting, you must ensure food supply.

However, food does not fall from the sky.
Dragging a tired body and hunting prey under the sun is indeed extremely uncomfortable, but the team has no choice.

In the evening, the temperature finally dropped a little.

With a pile of pieces of animal meat on his body, Shasha followed the team to the bottom of the camp.

After crawling back to the camp and feeding the little idiot placed at the entrance of the cave, the two of them and the cat ate something briefly, then entered the tent and began to lie down.

Only Li Fan strengthened his spirits and looked at the attributes of the big mouth.

【Qiankoulong】male (big mouth)

HP: 309/4690
Status: critically injured, exhausted.

Rating: 46
Power: 180
Agility: 241
Intelligence: 201
Skill: [Sandland Speed] Qiankoulong can dive into the sand layer and move fast.

[Sense of shock and hearing] Even if it is lurking underground, Qiankoulong can still keenly perceive the surrounding sound waves.

[Wind and Sand Jet] Absorbs the gravel to gain momentum for a short time, and sprays a strong airflow with gravel to the surrounding area.

[Old rivers and lakes on the sandy plain] Since there has been no natural enemies for a long time, this Qiankousaurus has made various attempts in the sandy plain, and there are many routines.

Introduction: Sea dragon monster, nicknamed Sand Plain Glutton.

They eat a lot and are particularly sensitive to vibration and sound sources.

Since it hides in the sand all day long, it is a good player no matter in ambush or hunting.

"Is this old rivers and lakes a region-specific feature?"

Li Fan was a little surprised to see the regional characteristics for the first time.

The next day, all members of the team slept until after 10 o'clock before getting up.

Li Fan grilled meat, Yudora stewed the soup, and Di Lu was in charge of seasoning.

After the team had a delicious meal before noon, they finally felt back in some form.

"In the afternoon, I will take Puff to the underground cave to hunt for food, and I will adapt to the environment by the way. You go to observe the movement of the ceratopsian and meet at the camp at night."

After Li Fan gave the division of labor, the team divided into two waves to start operations.

The location and existence of Zhanlong have been confirmed, and the next thing to do is to try to hunt.

However, Li Fan didn't want to rush to make a move before the team fully recovered.

Came to an abandoned camp marked on the map and found the dry well in the record.

Li Fan took out a vest made of cloud sheep and deer hair, put it on the outside of the breastplate, then grabbed the rope, and began to explore downwards.

The depth is about 20 meters, and every time you move down a certain distance, the temperature will drop a little.

When descending to 50 meters, the vertical shaft suddenly opened up, and Li Fan came to a karst cave shining with blue light.

After jumping to the ground, Li Fan felt that it was not much different from the cave around Kara Village except that it was colder, so he released the puffs.

Puff, whose body was trembling slightly, jumped into the flickering blue underground river after adapting to the surface of the cave for a while.

Whoa!Whoa!
The water splashed.

The puffs slide back and forth, which is very fun.

"You need to absorb enough water to keep your body moist. The time of the battle is uncertain, and you should eat more food. The environment of this battle is extremely unfavorable to you, but I guarantee that when the opponent meets you, he will definitely not be in a good state. would have an advantage."

Li Fan gave orders.

Huh?
"Well, it's very strong, at least at the same level as Thunder Wolf Dragon."

Huh?
"Thunder Wolf Dragon is this! Aww! Aww!"

As Li Fan said, he stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and slapped the ground fiercely.

Woohoo!

Puff roared fiercely.

"Yes, just like Thunder Wolf Dragon, if you can give it a heavy blow in battle, then at least you also have the combat strength of Thunder Wolf Dragon."

Li Fan explained.

The puff immediately became serious, sliding quickly in the water, trying to make the surface of the body as wet as possible.

Two hours later, Li Fan crawled out of the dry well with three big blue fish on his back.

At night, the squad reunited at the camp.

Eudora, who was sitting by the fire, talked about the information observed today.

"This male ceratopsian was named Xiaoshuai by Di Lu and I. There are no signs of broken horns, and the wing membrane is slightly damaged, but not enough to cause structural damage. The lower limbs are calm and powerful, and the tail is relatively rusty. It is speculated that it is a A juvenile ceratopsian with little combat experience."

"Well, the observation is very detailed. How did you name it?"

Li Fan asked in surprise.

"It was Eudora's suggestion, meow. She said that she seemed to notice the charming side of the monster when she continued to observe."

Dilu told.

"It's not the glamorous side of the monster, it's the glamorous side of nature, embodied in the monster, which shows a sense of beauty."

Eudora said helplessly.

"Sorry, I got it wrong."

"How about the actual flying ability?"

Li Fan asked while flipping through ecological books related to ceratopsians.

"I'm not very impressed, I feel that the pair of wings are just like a decoration."

Eudora recalled.

Li Fan rubbed his chin, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

The reason is that the flying ability of ceratopsians is really hard to define.

Fortunately, the air combat ability is zero, which has been certified by many parties.

"Well, what we have to do next is to find a way to guide Xiaoshuai from Observation Point No. 3 to Observation Point No. 2 where Zhanlong is."

As Li Fan spoke, he drew a route on the map.

"Why didn't you guide Zhanlong to Xiaoshuai?"

Eudora asked curiously.

"Zhanlong likes mineral veins. Apart from courtship, ceratopsians also like to eat cacti, mineral veins, female ceratopsians, and cactus. We can also get rid of cactus."

"Uh! Then the plant annotations made by these investigators on the map, wouldn't they just come in handy?"

Eudora suddenly realized.

"That's right, although the grasp of the monster's movements is basically zero, but in terms of food intake, water source, hidden safe space, etc., the investigators of the Sandstone Cave Branch have really achieved the ultimate."

Li Fan said in admiration.

I feel that the general idea of ​​the other party is that in such a dangerous place like Shayuan, let go of hunting and so on first, and the most important thing is to save your life.

"Then tomorrow's task is to collect cacti, meow?"

Dilu asked.

"That's right. That's right! If you find a human-shaped cactus, or someone with red gloves, don't get close, and fire a signal flare immediately, and I will arrive as quickly as possible."

Li Fan reminded.

Yudora and Dilu looked at each other.

"Is there something wrong with the mushrooms we picked along the way?"

Eudora asked tentatively.

"I believe in Li Fanmiao. Yes."

Di Lu is not very firm in her determination.

"Humanoid cactus with red gloves. Well, I'll keep an eye out for it tomorrow."

Although unable to understand, Udora still gave a guarantee.
