Chapter 1268 Aerial Reconnaissance
The guide insect began to guide, which meant that the investigation entered the next stage.
What the hunter cats need to do now is to follow the guide insect to find the Explosive Crusher, lurk beside it and monitor its whereabouts.
Different from her previous approach of relying on her keen sense of smell, confidence and luck, Xianglan truly understands how to act covertly.
Rather, it can be said that it has undergone complete secret team training in Yanhuo Village and can be considered "professionally trained" and quite professional.
Mushrooms didn't fare too badly.
Xianglan taught all the skills it learned from the leader of the secret team, Dongfeng, to the former, which is why Mushroom has always called it "teacher".
Leading the team through the shadows of rugged volcanic rocks, Xianglan sometimes ran on the ground, sometimes rolled over. Her movements looked a little funny, but they did not make any noise.
As time goes by, the light path formed by the guide insects becomes brighter, which means they are getting closer and closer to the target.
After making a "standby" gesture to her companions, Xianglan rushed out of the bunker and quickly passed through an open area.
The heat radiating from the huge, almost endless lava lake not far away could almost curl its silver hair.
Resisting the urge to lick her fur, Xianglan crawled into the shadow of a rock. After making sure it was safe, she stretched out her claws from the edge of the rock and waved.
After receiving the signal, the mushrooms ran out of their shelters one after another, followed the route that Xianglan had taken, quickly crossed the open area, and came to its side.
Just as Xianglan was about to move forward, her tail was grabbed by the mushroom.
The latter's long tufted ears twitched, and he whispered, "Did you hear that, meow? It sounds like a bomb exploding over there, meow."
Xianglan blinked and listened carefully for a moment.
The lava lake is not like a real lake, it is very quiet without wind.
The noise of the boiling magma was very loud. It took it a while to distinguish the explosion sound mentioned by the mushroom.
"Good job, meow." Xianglan stretched out her paw and patted Mushroom's head.
Then he turned to the other two companions and said, "We are not far from the target location, meow. You wait here first. I and Mushroom will fly over to take a look, meow."
The boar quickly said, "We can also ride the pterosaur and follow Meow behind. If there is any danger, we can help cover Meow."
"No need, meow. Pterosaurs are too noisy when flying, meow."
Xianglan rummaged through the package, took out some things and started to assemble them. "You just stay here, meow. If you see a signal flare, immediately return to Xingchen to report, meow."
"Good meow."
Chestnut and Wild Boar looked frustrated, they felt they played no role in this operation.
Xianglan had no intention of comforting them. Soon, two specially made kites were assembled by her and Mushroom.
The mushrooms seemed a little excited.
It had already learned how to fly this kite a long time ago, but Feng Ying felt it was unsafe and didn't allow it to use it, and it never found a suitable opportunity to practice.
It was very happy to be able to fly with Teacher Xianglan this time.
The two cats carried a large kite on their backs and climbed onto a huge rock by the lava lake.
There is not much wind here, but don't worry, the hot waves with a strong smell of sulfur on the lava lake are the best updrafts.
Xianglan closed her eyes in pain. She was afraid that she would have to shave her hair again after returning.
"Pay attention to the changes in air flow, meow. If you fall here, it will not just be a matter of breaking two bones, meow." After taking some time to prepare herself mentally, Xianglan turned around and reminded Mushroom.
"I understand, meow!" Mushroom couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, as a large group of lava bubbles in the lava lake burst, a heat wave hit.
Xianglan and Mushroom took advantage of the situation and jumped up, unfolded their kites and rode the heat wave into the air. Following the guidance of the guide insect, they flew along the edge of the lava lake.
The heat flow rising from the lava lake is relatively stable. Flying on the heat wave is much easier than riding the wind, but it is also much more painful.
After flying like this for a while, Xianglan and the others felt like their whole bodies were about to catch fire.
Fortunately, at this time, they also found the target.
At the edge of the lava lake in front, which was covered with dark red cracks, a terrifying giant beast covered with a blue-black shell was roaring and waving its hammer-shaped forelimbs, constantly bombarding the ground.
In order to avoid being discovered by the target, Xianglan immediately adjusted the angle of the kite to climb, and Mushroom quickly followed.
The giant beast did not look up, so naturally it did not notice the two cats circling in the air.
It just continued to attack the ground, cracking the semi-molten surface while sending the golden ancient slime mold on its arms into the ground.
As large numbers of slime molds were activated and reacted with certain high-energy substances in the magma, the ground became brighter and brighter.
Finally, with a loud noise like a volcanic eruption, hundreds of square meters of ground around the Exploding Dragon exploded directly, and the originally semi-molten rock turned into boiling magma and rushed into the air.
Pandan and Mushroom were shocked.
If they had not climbed up in advance, they might have been knocked down by the exploding magma.
Along with the magma, a nearly twenty-meter-long, streamlined dark red monster was also blown out.
It was an adult lava dragon, quite large.
Before it could stand up in panic, the Explosive Crusher roared and pounced on it, smashing its arms and the hammer-shaped horns on its head and chest.
Amid the sharp sound of bone cracking, the lava dragon's body twitched violently.
Afterwards, the ancient slime mold that had touched the lava dragon's skull during the attack activated and exploded, and the blazing flames blew half of the lava dragon's body into pieces.
“GAOHAOAOAO——!” The Explosive Crusher roared towards the sky after killing its prey instantly.
Next, it did not start eating, nor did it turn around and leave. Instead, it continued to attack the broken body of the lava dragon like a madman.
He didn't leave until he had completely smashed the corpse to pieces and blew it into pieces. He then shook his body to shake off the charred flesh that was stuck to his body, and then he left with satisfaction.
Having witnessed all this, Xianglan Leader Mushroom retreated without hesitation, with no intention of continuing to follow.
Returning to the other two companions, Xianglan said hurriedly, "No time to put away the kite.
I found the Explosive Crusher. It's just as I guessed. I'm afraid all the slightly larger creatures nearby have been slaughtered by it.
It's not even for hunting, it's just pure killing, it's even worse than the Devil Rex."
As it said this, it looked at the still frightened Mushroom and said, "Mushroom, you should take the pterosaur directly back to Xingchen and report the situation here to the commander-in-chief and others.
That guy is always moving. There's no point in locking onto a certain coordinate. We'll just follow it from a distance.
If there are more situations later, I will ask the wild boars to go back and report. "
Mushroom looked up in surprise, his accent a little off, "I can stay in the nest too, meow!"
Xianglan put her hands on her hips and said, "It's useless for you to stay here, meow. I'm the only one who can't leave here, and you're all just talking pigeons."
That’s it, meow!
Chestnut boar, follow meow, let's keep a distance of several hundred meters from it, don't get discovered, and don't lose meow."
"I understand, meow!"
"Yes, meow!"
The three hunting cats dropped the mushrooms and sped towards the direction where the Explosive Dragon left.
Mushroom wanted to catch up with his seniors, but Xianglan turned around and glared at him. He walked around in circles for several times and finally had no choice but to follow orders.
Summon the pterosaurs and pass the information back to the stars.
