Chapter 1231 1213. Acquaintance
?Flame is as ordinary and harmless to Yanwang Dragon as air.
So the sudden fire in the base did not affect Yan Wanglong''s careless pace at all.
But Lan En couldn''t do it. The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, but there was really nothing he could do.
??The moisture in this base had already been dried out by the Yanwanglong who had been here for a long time, and now it caught fire. I really don’t know if my luck is good or bad.
There is no time to think too much.
Immediately, following the traces of the witcher''s senses, there was also Mentos'' calculation analysis. Lan En began to quickly search for people in the base.
Fortunately, with the reduction of the functions of the base, the area of ??the entire building has also been reduced a lot.
Otherwise it would not be easy to find a dozen people here.
Soon, Yan Wanglong didn''t care about Lan En, and Lan En just pretended that Yan Wanglong didn''t exist. In this strange state, the demon hunter soon found five people.
??Two draconian scholars wearing small round glasses, they looked like researchers at first glance. The other three were wearing cloth strips decorated with the emblem of the fourth phase of the regiment, and they were from the materials class.
When they were discovered by Lan En, they were basically in some safe places. Some had fainted from the heat, while others were still barely conscious.
They are all elites of the Old World. Although they are not hunters, they also have excellent self-control.
Haunted by panic, he attacked the Flame King Dragon without hesitation.
But this is the limit.
Let them act like Lan En in the area patrolled by an ancient dragon, and move around freely as if it didn''t exist. That would be too embarrassing.
So many of them actually sent the Ellu cats out at the last moment with a few pterosaurs that had not been frightened away by the ancient dragon''s aura to report the news.
??Then when he evacuated outwards carefully and covertly, his body could not withstand the high-temperature air around him, and he was fainted by the heat and lost strength in the middle of the road.
?? Lan En picked up the five people with both hands and dragged them directly to the outside of the base gate, where the high temperature around Yanwanglong was not too exaggerated.
Then the two Ellu cats and Berengar, who had been waiting there for a long time, took over and dragged the person further away, replenishing water when it was necessary, taking off clothes and splashing water on the body when it was time to cool down.
The fire in the base is getting bigger and bigger.
??The sound of wood crackling and exploding is endless.
?The cloth and furs also began to be implicated and burned. The entire base turned red.
Lann''s height was a disadvantage in the thick smoke.
He had to lower his body and hold his breath at the same time, so he took a sip of [Higher Killer Whale].
When he pulled the six people out, he saw two hunters outside the valley hanging under two pterosaurs with projector hooks, flying towards the base built halfway up the valley.
And soon, the hunter riding the Pterosaur had landed at the landing point outside the base and ran towards this side anxiously.
"These are six people. I need you to count the number of people and make sure there is no one else inside."
?Lan En said while wiping his forehead stained with smoke and black ash.
Even if he activated [Quen''s Seal], he couldn''t let himself go to the fire scene and still be clean and tidy.
??The black and white Ellu cat nodded nervously, and at the same time called on Fluffy Ball and Berengar to move the rescued people away.
?At the same time, the hunters who came from the landing point in the distance also ran all the way here.
Lan En misjudged it before. This was a hunter with a compiler following behind him.
“Lan?!” The hunter running over called the witcher’s name while waving his hand, “What is going on?”
? Lan En was surprised to find that the person coming was an acquaintance of his from the previous journey.
A cheerful hunter with short hair and a mohawk, Aiden.
??There is also his editor partner, a female scholar with a strong personality.
"It''s a long story. I just came here and this happened."
?? Lan En said, pointing back with his thumb at the burning base and the ancient dragon strolling in the flames.
At this time, the hunter with reddish hair looked at the group of strange characters around Lan En in confusion at first, but the big heart of the New World Investigation Team and his trust in Lan En prevented him from asking questions now. .
On the contrary, it goes directly to the topic.
“We are on a mission nearby and came over after receiving the call for help from El Cat. What can I do?”
"There is still one person missing, meow!" At this moment, the black and white Ellu cat wiped the face of each rescued person with the help of flannel ball and Tisaya in the distance, and said loudly to Lan En and Aiden.
“It’s a researcher from the Institute of Ecology who just came here for a new shift, meow! Go and look for it in the dormitory or study room!”
“You heard me.” Lan En tilted his head in the distance, “Here comes the work.”
“The main idea is not to fight, and then save people? I understand.” Aiden is also an excellent hunter in the fifth phase of the group, and he knows Lan En’s rules of action at a glance.
He, who has a cheerful personality, looked at the figure of Yan Wanglong with a solemn expression. "You have to get in and out quickly. It''s impossible to stay with Yanwanglong for a long time without a [cold drink]. The heat is too scary."
“I’ll take the lead.” Lan En said simply without any ink. "You know this place better than I do, but now that the base is burning, I will put out the flames that are in the way."
Although the essence of [Alder''s Seal] is telekinesis, the local lack of oxygen caused during the process of pushing the air can extinguish the flames.
Without further ado, Lan patted Aiden on the shoulder as a greeting for the start of the action.
The two men immediately rushed into the base again, which was already creaking due to burning, even causing structural weaknesses in the wooden building.
With a "bang" sound, Lan En, who was opening the way, struck down [Alder''s Seal] first, extinguishing a gap in the spreading flames.
“What bad luck!” behind him, Aiden complained to Lan En familiarly, as if he had never left. "I''m here to hunt the Mud Ichthyosaurus today. I''m wearing waterproof equipment, which has extremely low fire resistance!"
“I feel like if it sparks a spark, I have to roll on the ground several times to put it out.”
“That’s why we avoid fighting.”
Lan En also said in agreement.
??This kind of atmosphere where acquaintances met again after a long time and did not feel unfamiliar or awkward at all was very comfortable, as if the two of them were fighting side by side with the Nergigante on the back of the Molten Dragon yesterday.
It would be better if you are not in a fire scene rescuing people at this time.
Soon, following the guidance of the black and white Ellu cat, they found the scholar who was fainted from the heat in the study.
?Without any delay, Aiden helped the scholar up, and at the same time nodded to Lan En, indicating that he could clear the way and retreat.
“Ahem.”
?Lan En bent over and coughed lightly.
? ?If in the future, his intensive surgery reaches the [third lung] stage, he will be able to inhale the smoke from the fire as air.
It’s a pity that his respiratory system has not been strengthened yet.
??He is not yet able to move freely in a special place like a fire environment.
Along the way, we passed many crumbling wooden buildings that had been dried out and burned.
Fortunately, the demon hunter''s chaotic magic is generated by his own body, rather than relying on the external environment like a warlock.
??The recovery speed of Lan En''s body at this time is probably similar to that of a gryphon school demon hunter who specializes in sigils after taking a potion that speeds up the recovery of magic power.
??Although releasing [Alder''s Seal] several times in a row can extinguish a large area of ??flames, as long as the Flame King Dragon is still nearby, the situation of the fire, which has already spread and is implicated, will never be optimistic.
“Go quickly, go quickly!”
?Aiden was muttering frequently at this time.
Although this is not the first time for an excellent hunter like him to face an ancient dragon. But before, they were in a serious, alert, and equipped combat state.
??Now wearing a suit of waterproof armor and wandering around the Flame King Dragon, he felt very unsure.
Now that a large area of ??the building was burned to the point of collapse, Lan En, as the person who opened the way, could only kick open the door and lead them to the open air outside the building.
With a "bang", the door, which was made of solid and heavy materials and conformed to the usual architectural style of the investigation team, was kicked open.
The door flew five or six meters away with flames twisted by the wind.
?The Yanwanglong, whose nose was twitching in the distance, heard the movement and glanced sideways, but that was all.
Lan En rushed out of the building with Aiden carrying the man, and was about to turn around and evacuate outside the base.
The surrounding area was filled with fiery red, which made people’s eyes dizzy.
But just when they were about to leave without looking back, Lan En glanced at the location of the Flame King Dragon before turning around.
“Boom!”
?A small black cloud suddenly burst out next to this huge fiery red cat-like figure, and then the black cloud quickly exploded and made an explosion!
?Aiden did not look back, because he was familiar with the explosion, a small explosive barrel.
??This is a base used to transfer supplies. Of course, it has weapons and gunpowder reserves that hunters need.
It’s so hot now, and the Flame King Dragon is still wandering around. To be able to detonate one now is already a sign that the guys in the supplies class have kept the gunpowder super tight.
But Lan En could see clearly.
After the gunpowder in the small bomb barrel leaked out, the Yanwang dragon took a very drunken sip.
The black smoke is inhaled through its nostrils, and it feels like an old smoker.
?Later on, the gunpowder was ignited by the high temperature, and Yanwanglong also sucked it in. After all, it couldn''t feel the heat at all.
