hunt and eat

Chapter 407 Above the sky, the end of the sky!
"Pay attention to the barometer. The first mate and the maintenance team will keep an eye on the power room. The effect of this reinforcement will be clear when you break through 2300 meters!"

Above the sky, the captain of the Longshi Ship shouted to the subordinates behind him while operating the wooden rudder, which seemed too primitive compared to the concept of a flying ship.

Compared with the idle hunters on the deck and the researchers of the Longli Academy, they are the key to whether this exploration can continue!
As the height increased little by little, everyone on board soon saw the faint outline of the Yiqun Ridge hidden in the clouds.

"It's still as mysterious and sacred as ever."

Seperos, with a bearded face, leaned against a pillar on one side and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Guta pretended to glance at this guy casually.

During this period of time, I don't know what went wrong. The silver-haired handsome guy has always been in a low mood, and he doesn't even say a word. He often hides in the room alone and doesn't come out.

Guta tried to get a side shot from his teammates, but unfortunately, Reiji shook his head and said that it was a matter of Ceperos' family, and refused to reveal more.

"It's almost at the same height as last time."

Yuhu put up the tent with his hands, and looked at the high mountains that were getting closer in the distance.

There is a particularly obvious giant sculpture there, where they almost capsized last time.

"Everyone, tie the fixed ropes!"

"Don't try to save trouble, hit me three times and tie the knot!"

Holding the rudder tightly in his hand, Captain Whitebeard roared in a rough voice.

After a while of scrambling, everyone had a thick hemp rope connected to the deck buckle around their waists.

This thing is a new safety device added at the captain's suggestion when the Dragon Sense Ship was strengthened this time. It can be regarded as a protective measure for the people on board when the ship's body falls or even rolls over.

The last time I encountered turbulence in the air, if most of the hunters on the boat were not for their strength, they would have grabbed the fixed objects beside them at the first time, which would have resulted in heavy casualties.

After Guta glanced, he crouched down in the strong wind, and Qiao Qiao, who seemed a little shivering, comforted him in a low voice:
"The hull and power plant have been strengthened this time, so there will be no problem."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just about to be blown away." Ai Lumao desperately stretched out her claws and grabbed the wooden board under her body, said helplessly.

After all, Ai Lumao's body is too light, even if it is fixed with ropes, there is still the possibility of being blown away by strong winds.

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Weiwei and Miejin couldn't help laughing as they stretched out their hands to grab Qiaoqiao's Guta.

Soon, as the hull gradually floated up, the same strong air turbulence as last time began to sweep across the entire hull of the Dragon Sense Ship.

Except for the big hunters like Guta and Yuhu, the feet of the others were completely off the ground almost the moment the gust of wind hit the deck.

The captain, who had already tied his body to the post behind him, was not affected by the surrounding environment at all, but calmly adjusted the position of the bow, and at the same time urged the power room below to speed up the power supply.

Soon, the air bag on the top continued to inflate, and began to drive the hull below to float upwards.

Although the hull swayed as if it was about to fall apart under the gust of wind, it was undeniable that they were indeed breaking through to a higher position bit by bit.

2300 meters...2350 meters...2500 meters

Finally, when the altitude buoy reached 2600 meters, the violent air turbulence disappeared like a ghost, replaced by a clear sky without a trace of haze, and...

The vast mountain range "suspended" above the stratus clouds under the feet.

At the very center of that mountain range, a majestic pinnacle pierced almost straight into the sky, with no end in sight.

Against the background of a giant sun that has never been seen, everything seems to be as incredible as in a fairy tale, but unexpectedly very real.

The spectacular scene in front of them made everyone speechless for a moment.

No one can describe their excitement at this moment, but at this moment, they just kept echoing a sentence in their minds.

It's great to be on this ship!
"The pressure in the power cabin is too high, find a place to fall, pay attention to protect the gas storage tank."

The captain let out a loud roar as usual, and then controlled the Dragon Consciousness Ship, and began to gradually descend towards the mountain range in the clouds below.

The overall terrain here is not much different from that at 2300 meters, but there are obviously a lot more green plants. From time to time, there are flying monsters that cannot be seen clearly in the distance, and I don’t know what species they are.

Soon, the spaceship landed on a gentle rocky slope adjacent to the cliff.

Four hunter teams led a group of researchers, and jumped off the dragon consciousness ship that had put down the springboard.

The reason why there are four teams instead of ten is because this is an unfamiliar area after all, and someone must stay behind to protect their only means of transportation.

In case the dragon ship is destroyed by monsters, they may have to live here for the rest of their lives.

Of course, the original arrangement was actually half-and-half, but unfortunately, two hunters with altitude sickness appeared in a team that was scheduled to disembark.

There was no choice but to let them stay as a whole team.

"Then, let's move forward." Varan took a deep breath and said with his hands raised high.

Behind him are the tall Guta and Yuhu.

In order to balance the combat power of the probing side and the remaining side, the [Sen Luo] team and the [Blizzard] team were left on the Dragon Consciousness Ship, while the relatively strongest and best overall teams [Jianhu] and [Canglan] Star] team was assigned to the investigation team.

It can be said that it is in line with Guta's intentions.

……

Along the fairly gentle rocky slope, a group of people took the tall central rocky peak as their intended target, and kept moving towards higher altitudes.

Although I encountered some big black birds with strange shapes on the way, maybe it was because of the large number of them, or maybe it was because they felt the threat from the hunters... This group of black birds, which were almost two people tall, didn't attack even once until the end. Offensive, just glanced at the investigation team from a distance, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

"It's a pity." Guta watched these monsters go away with some reluctance.

These new breeds of monsters may not have any useful abilities.

"I said...is that a palace or a temple?"

Patting Guta on the shoulder, Yuhu suddenly pointed to the black stone building gradually emerging on the horizon not far away, and asked in a low voice.

It was a stone building built along the mountain wall, the surface was full of broken lines, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a palace-like building.

On the multi-layered stone steps near the door, stood two-person-high stone pillars with almost the same size, but more than half collapsed.

Although the building as a whole looks quite primitive, whether it is the smooth stone walls without edges or corners, or the stone pillars and sculptures that seem to be poured out of a mold, it is enough to show that the technical content of this building is far beyond what a primitive civilization can achieve. achieved.

Varan looked very curious about these buildings that were most likely left over from ancient civilizations. He was about to take out his magnifying glass and go up to take a closer look, when he was pulled by the collar by the stupid tiger beside him.

There is no way, he is too short, Yuhu can only catch here.

"Stand back, the host here... doesn't seem to welcome us very much."

As soon as the words fell, a flying dragon monster with a green body and ring patterns on its wings suddenly sprang out from the shadow of the palace.

The big mouth full of sharp teeth screamed towards the sky towards the hunters not far away.

"Female Charmander... I didn't expect there to be here."

Guta strode forward dragging the pain hook sickle backwards, walked to Yuhu's side, and looked up and down at this female fire dragon, which seemed to be smaller than ordinary ones of the same kind.

Although he is not big, the sense of threat the other party gives him does not seem to be low.

"Let's go together?" Yuhu said with a smile as he untied the 【Great Sword of Misfortune】 behind him.

"I have no objection...Do you need to keep alive?"

The last half sentence, Guta said to Varan, the captain of the investigation team.

"Well, it can't make it attract more monsters."

The talented researcher of the dragon race nodded decisively.

"Then... let's make a quick decision."

As soon as the words fell, the figures of Yuhu and Guta disappeared from the same place at the same time.

Almost at the same time, at the side of the female fire dragon, a huge purple-black sword as thick as a stone pillar fell down at the same time, accompanied by a bloody moon that quietly emerged.

Amidst the endless wailing, the blood-colored ointment, as scarlet as the sea, completely bloomed from the turquoise dragon's body.
