Durin's Diary

Chapter 452

Patch, who had returned with Du Lin, was immediately recognized by the chief. He was a little panicked: "I didn't expect Mr. Du Lin to call you here."

"I have full confidence in Du Lin's work. I just heard that you have a Flesh-Winged Devourer here. Is it true?" Patch asked with a serious expression.

"It really is the Flesh-Wing Devourer." The chief pointed at the Flesh-Wing Devourer in the photo and portrait.

Patch nodded, then looked at Durin: "This thing is not easy to deal with. There must be a nest of it nearby."

"Nest, you mean..." The grassland elves have been fighting with alien species. If the grassland elves said that there were alien species that they did not understand in this land, they probably would not be able to find another person who understood.

"Yes, the Flesh-Winged Devourers are a species that live in groups as families. They can appear behind the eastern front. They must be a pair after their mating flight. Where are they usually found? Where did it lead you? In which direction did it lead you?"

The chief ordered someone to bring a map.

Quickly, he marked on the map the three points he had discovered, the direction he was leading to, and the location where he had lost track.

Patchy took the pen, drew extension lines at the three points he found, and finally found a middle point, and then drew a large circle with this point.

"There must be a nest nearby. The one in the photo is a male insect. It is deliberately guiding you to fly away from the nest." Having said that, Patch put down his pen and was about to say something else, when suddenly a wizard pointed out the window.

Everyone looked out the window.

A red flare is being raised.

"We don't have an observation post in that direction." A mage asked curiously.

But Lina had already run to the terrace: "It was Melinda's signal flare! She told me that hunters are going to enter the nearby area today, saying that a farmer's sheep have disappeared! Damn it! We are in the dark!"

"It's okay, trust Melinda and Alyssa!" Du Lin followed behind her. When she transformed into a dragon, Du Lin took off with the airflow she raised, and the alchemical weapon popped out at the same time.

And flares were also fired.

………………

Time goes back to fifteen minutes ago.

Alyssa was walking in the woods, looking around carefully. As an assassin, she understood deeply how terrifying and dangerous this kind of environment was.

"It's too quiet." She looked at Melinda and subconsciously raised the shotgun in her hand. There were too many covers in the woods. Long-range rifles were no problem for hunting on the plains, but in the woods, the killing effect and stopping power of No. 8 single-shot shotgun shells were much stronger than those of rifles.

"You see, my sisters all know that there is a problem here. Your apprentices are still too immature." Melinda looked at the old hunter not far away.

The latter looked embarrassed. As the mentor of these apprentices, he felt somewhat helpless: "In the civilized world of human beings, there are really not many alien species. The largest prey they hunt is just a black bear."

"Entire sheep are missing, and there's no blood at the scene. It must have been dragged away by a very large creature, but there's no sign of a monster walking around near the sheepfold..." Melinda said this and looked at Alyssa: "What do you think it was?"

"It definitely can't be a griffin. That flat-haired beast would roar loudly enough to let the whole area know of its presence." Alyssa suddenly raised her hand when she said this.

Melinda immediately leaned against a nearby tree and asked, "What is that?"

“A moose carcass,” Alyssa replied.

So the team stopped moving forward.

The apprentices were silenced by their mentors, and he leaned against a nearby tree to help Alyssa and Melinda keep an eye on their blind spots. Melinda knelt before the moose carcass, accepting the dagger Alyssa offered her while peeling back the damaged fur. "The meat and organs in the chest and abdomen were almost completely eaten, but the large intestine was left uneaten."

Having said that, Melinda pulled out her intestines and squeezed them, and the excrement that was frozen due to the low temperature successfully emerged.

"Dead for over 80 hours." Alyssa examined the remaining carrion. "A fully grown male moose, almost pounds. It should have had no enemies other than grizzly bears and wolves. How did it die?"

"This is a bit weird, Alyssa. We should leave." Melinda expressed her doubts: "If it were just the two of us, we could protect ourselves, but we have so many apprentices. We have to protect them."

Having said this, he looked at the mentor and said, "Let's go. This is too dangerous. We will contact the mages and druids later to search this area."

Just as he was saying this, one of the apprentices suddenly screamed.

The three turned around and saw an apprentice melting—yes, melting. Liquid coming from nowhere enveloped his head and the upper half of his body.

The head and upper part?
Alyssa and Melinda raised their guns and pointed them upwards at the same time.

They didn't see anything.

But they also saw something - because the air was distorting, there were unknown creatures lurking in camouflage, but such crude disguise could not fool anyone.

Without hesitation, Alyssa and Melinda pulled the trigger, and sixteen rounds of No. 8 shotgun shells were fired. The monster screamed as green blood oozed out.

From a far distance, the same scream was heard.

"Run! Kids! It's a Flesh-Winged Devourer! Run separately!" The instructor shouted as he stood up. He shot at the monster and moved in another direction at the same time - the Flesh-Winged Devourer was long and not easy to move in the forest, so running separately was the right choice.

The Flesh-Winged Devourer pounced down at this moment. Melinda leaped high, kicking herself against the tree trunk and dodging the stinging sting. "It's a female! Thicktail! Looks like she's about to give birth! There must be a male! Alyssa, send a signal!"

Alyssa did not hesitate. She pulled out the flares from her waist, fired one into the sky, and then loaded the other flare and fired the normally burning flare into the wound on the queen insect's abdomen.

Then the queen fell down with a scream - the burning flames were beyond her endurance.

As it fell, Melinda in the air finished loading the new magazine and activated her extraordinary ability. The Great Hunter, whose body turned completely white, raised his gun expressionlessly and shot all twelve shotgun shells in the extended magazine into the abdomen of the Flesh-Winged Devourer.

At this time, Alyssa had also changed the magazine and fired all twelve single-shot bullets into the mouthparts of the Flesh-Winged Devourer.

They all heard the scream of another Flesh-Winged Devourer coming from not far away.

The roar of the silver dragon was also heard.

Alyssa didn't hesitate. Looking at the Flesh-Winged Devourer that was still able to move, she took out a miniaturized rocket-propelled grenade from behind her.

Du Lin said that this thing can kill ordinary alien species with one blow.

Although the bullet speed is slow, it may be dodged by high-speed alien species.

But now that she had a dying Flesh-Wing Devourer in front of her, she should try out just how powerful this thing was.

　My whole body has been sore these past two days. I haven't played Monkey for two days and two nights because of the discomfort... I'm typing slowly, I'm really sorry.
