Chapter 1236 1208. Busy Stars
“Eh? Are you coming to the New World for vacation?”
Aiden listened to their conversation and scratched his head with a grimace.
“Ah~ I’m so envious! It would be great if I could not have a job and come to the New World for a pure vacation!”
"Don''t be greedy!" Gray slapped his partner hunter on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are lucky to be selected to come to the new continent. How many people want to come and experience the ecology of the new continent but never have the chance."
“Woohoo! I’m back, meow!”
On the back of the unicorn that had just stopped, the velvet ball jumped down with cheers, like a moving ball of fur in three colors.
?It couldn''t wait to get on all fours and rush towards the star stronghold.
“Boss, I’m going to find honeydew and cotton first, meow!”
?Long time no see, Rongbuqiu is also missing the members of the thief adventure group he once formed. Although they have lost the courage to take risks in the last incident, the relationship between friends has not been affected.
? Lan En waved his hand to it, indicating that it could relax as it pleased.
Several humans then walked together and entered the star stronghold.
??It’s still unclear what kind of monster’s ribs or teeth were used. Anyway, it was several arches built with huge curved bones.
?At this time, a refreshing evening breeze was blowing from the sea, and torches or cold-light lamps containing luminous insects such as fireflies were gradually lit in the stronghold.
But after a few people came in, they discovered that the Xingchen Stronghold seemed to be very busy at this time.
Logically speaking, except for the hunters who have to carry out night missions, everyone should be finishing up the day''s work. Why do you feel so anxious?
Hunters wearing all kinds of armor and equipment were running around amidst the clanging sounds of armor parts.
??Elu cats put a lot of supplies in packages and held them on their heads, meowing and transporting them around. From time to time, they almost bumped into each other and were startled.
The squad leader of the supplies class, who is also the leader of the fourth group, the brown-skinned beauty with a Latina appearance, is standing on the boxes of supplies, holding a list of ledgers in one hand, while extending her hand and shouting instructions to the surroundings.
Aiden had already put on his own equipment before boarding the Pterosaur. At this time, he took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, and walked under the pile of supplies piled up like a hill.
He raised his head and shouted upwards.
"What''s going on, squad leader? Are you busy at night? Where is the commander-in-chief? We have something important to tell him!"
?It’s impossible not to shout. There is a lot of noise in the Xingchen stronghold now. No one is prepared for emergencies. Of course it will be chaotic.
Even the material squad leader who was in charge of the command had to shout at the top of his lungs.
The squad leader of the supplies squad, who was already overwhelmed by the complicated and sudden affairs, put down the list in his hand and looked down, still smiling with a hint of exhaustion and excitement.
“Oh, it’s Aiden, you came just in time!”
“Put on fireproof equipment immediately, and have at least one set of [cold drinks]. Something happened at the transit base in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland! A Flame King Dragon suddenly appeared there. We have to go and rescue people immediately!”
"If people in the base have unfortunately died," she pursed her lips, but then her eyes became firm again, "then we must take this opportunity to repel Yanwangsaurus and investigate the ecological abnormalities of Yanwangsaurus. ”
An ancient dragon can actually be dealt with by the overall strength of the New World Survey Team.
But that''s just theory.
Theoretically, as the first phase of the group with all the top elites, together they have the ability to reliably defeat most ancient dragon species.
But the problem is that they can’t get together at all.
We are all top experts in various fields, and when we come to the New World as a group, we all have things to do in our own areas of expertise.
That’s why the first group, after laying down the framework of a survey group, basically went deep into the hinterland of the New World, but no one was found.
As a result, the investigation team was unable to handle monsters such as the Fire Dragon stably before the arrival of the fifth phase of the team.
??So for the investigation team, the Yanwanglong that suddenly appeared in the transit base this time is really a crisis that cannot be underestimated.
?Of course as long as the hunter is still there, Yan Wanglong can be beaten back after all. He is the ace among the guild''s aces.
But the people in the transit base are
“Oh, that’s what we’re talking about!”
?Aiden looked up at the supplies squad leader under piles of boxes and said with a cheerful smile: "We trapped the Flame King Dragon in the second arena! Both the human and El Cat are fine!"
? “.”
??The supplies squad leader who was shouting and giving instructions suddenly became quiet. She was a little confused and smoothed her thick long hair that was gathered on one shoulder for convenience.
??Aiden thought the other party was too noisy and didn''t hear clearly, so he simply took two steps forward, climbed a little higher on the box, and said to her again.
“You said you ‘trapped’ the Yanwang Dragon?! An ancient dragon?!”
Immediately afterwards, Aiden was pulled by the collar of the armor by the material squad leader who was leaning over, staring at him and shaking his eyes.
The news was so exciting, and the leader of the supply squad was so shocked that his voice became loud.
??So around the pile of boxes where she was standing, all the members of the investigation team who heard the exclamation stopped their busy movements and looked here blankly.
Lan En and the others, who had been outside the scope of attention just now due to the chaos and less than ideal lighting, were also highlighted due to the sudden silence.
Two Ellu cats were carrying large packages on their heads. Apparently they did not notice the scene because of the large packages on their heads. The two of them bumped into each other, the big package colliding first. In order to prevent the contents from spilling out, the two El cats hurriedly moved their steps to stabilize their center of gravity. Finally, they stabilized the package, but they fell.
“Meow!”*2
Two cats happened to fall next to Lan En, attracting everyone''s attention.
"Lan En?" The supplies squad leader was still a little stunned and raised his hand, pointing to the tall figure not far from the pile of boxes, "You''re back too?. What''s going on? It was you who trapped the Yanwang Dragon together. ?”
“Really ‘trapped’?”
?Lan En waved to the supplies squad leader on the pile of boxes to say hello.
“That’s true, so we need to see the Commander-in-Chief immediately.”
—
The Commander-in-Chief is actually not that far away. He is still in the Star Stronghold, at the meeting venue that was transformed from the bow of the damaged ship that was taken ashore and dismantled.
??The commander-in-chief, whose beard and hair are white but upright, and whose dark skin still looks strong and strong, is still holding the conference table with both hands when he sees Lan En walking over.
Shows a reassuring calmness.
“I thought it might be a long time before you get a chance to come back.”
Compared to Aiden and the supplies squad leader, the commander-in-chief showed a calm acceptance of Lan En''s return.
As he spoke, his sharp hawk-like eyes looked at Aiden, who was following him, and glanced at the equipment on his body.
“Aiden, I remember that he accepted a mission about the Mud Ichthyosaurus before? Well, he was indeed wearing waterproof equipment.”
“You guys came back from the Big Ant Mound Wasteland together. It seems like there’s nothing going on there?”
Speaking in a question, a slightly relaxed smile appeared on the Commander-in-Chief''s lips.
“You are as sharp as ever.”
?Lan smiled and walked onto the bow of the boat used for meetings with Aiden.
??In order to deal with the unexpected situation that the Yanwang Dragon suddenly appeared in the transit base, the scale of this meeting was the same as that of the previous meeting with the Laoshan Dragon.
Representatives from various departments including the Institute of Ecology, the Institute of Botany, and the Workshop District came.
??The swordsman wearing a female fire dragon suit sat on the edge and listened as usual.
Lan En was able to easily turn around and say hello, taking care of everyone.
?Although everyone was surprised by Lan En''s appearance, they still responded with welcome and sincere greetings.
“Okay, the welcome party can be held later.” The commander-in-chief’s calm tone set the tone as soon as he spoke.
??The white-skinned old man with dark skin looked at Lan En and Aiden with burning eyes.
“First report on the situation of Yanwanglong.”
“Of course.” Lan En responded and walked with Aiden to the center of the meeting crowd. At this time, the construction drawings of the transfer base were placed on the conference table.
It seems that the combat arrangement just now was made on this drawing.
Simply, Lan En pointed to the second arena on the drawing and explained their plan and implementation process to everyone present.
“Use the arena I built to trap the ancient dragon?”
??The chief officer of the workshop area and the leader of the second phase of the regiment touched his steel brush-like beard, his face blackened by the fire showed pride, but his mouth was still hard.
“What a shame, that’s a great venue!”
Everyone in the investigation team knew each other well, and they were no longer surprised by his harsh words.
The land where the ancient dragon once lived. In some remote areas of the Old World, this is enough to build a shrine and a shrine.
?The director of the Institute of Ecology, the old man from the Dou Ding''er Dragon tribe, is very concerned about Yanwanglong''s love for gunpowder.
He is going to personally lead a team to the transit base to study it.
After hearing the detailed description, the commander-in-chief had the simplest reaction.
“It’s a blessing that nothing happened to the humans and Elu Cat.”
As the commander-in-chief, he believed that he was responsible for everyone in the New World Survey Team.
After confirming that the situation was no longer so urgent, as the order was issued, the originally busy Star Stronghold began to stop in an orderly manner.
?Only a few people were left behind, and they still had to rush all night to take care of the wounded and the El cats who could only stay in the wild camp without any combatants around them.
?Seeing that the atmosphere was visibly relaxing, the Commander-in-Chief crossed his arms and looked at Lan En across the conference table with a smile.
?At the same time, those sharp eyes also glanced at Tissaya and Berengar, who were standing under the bow of the meeting ship. Their dress and temperament clearly did not match the investigation team.
“You brought a new friend here that you haven’t met before. It seems like something is going on, right?”
“I can’t hide it from your sophisticated eyes.” Lan En smiled and nodded, and then his expression became serious.
“Yes, there is an ecological invasion and mutation event, and we need to deal with it together.”
