Chapter 1231: 1213 acquaintance
Chapter 1231 1213. Acquaintance
To Flame King Dragon, flames are as ordinary and harmless as air.
Therefore, the sudden fire in the base did not affect Yanwanglong'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 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 was no time to think too much.
Immediately, he followed the traces of the witcher's senses and Mentos' calculation analysis. Lan En began to quickly search for people in the base.
Fortunately, with the reduction of the base's functions, the entire building's footprint has also been reduced a lot.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to find more than a dozen people here.
Soon, Yan Wanglong didn't care about Lan En, and Lan En just assumed that Yan Wanglong didn't exist. In this strange state, the demon hunter soon found five people.
The two Draconian scholars wearing small round glasses 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.
Without being coerced by panic, he attacked the Flame King Dragon regardless.
But that's the limit.
It would be too embarrassing to let them move freely like Lan En in the area patrolled by an ancient dragon as if it didn't exist.
So many of them actually sent out the Ellu cats at the last moment with a few pterosaurs that had not been scared 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 halfway.
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, dragging the person further away, replenishing water when it was necessary, taking off clothes and splashing water on the body when it was necessary to cool down.
The fire in the base is getting bigger and bigger.
The sound of wood crackling and exploding is endless.
The fabrics and furs also began to be implicated and burned. The entire base turned red.
Lan En'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 using projectile hooks to hang under two pterosaurs, flying towards the base built halfway up the valley.
And soon, the hunter on the Pterosaur had landed at the landing point outside the base and ran towards this side anxiously.
"This is 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 black ash.
Even if he turned on [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 coming from the landing point in the distance also ran all the way here.
Lan En had misjudged it before. This was a hunter with a compiler following behind him.
"Lan En?!" The hunter running over called the witcher's name while waving his hand, "What is going on?"
Lan En was pleasantly surprised to find that the person coming was an acquaintance of his from his previous journey.
Aiden, the cheerful hunter with a short mohawk.
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 his thumb back 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. .
Instead, he gets straight to the point.
"We are on a mission nearby and came here after receiving El Cat's request for help. What can I do?"
"There's still one person missing, meow!" At this moment, the black and white Ellu cat, with the help of Velvet Ball and Tisaya in the distance, wiped the face of each rescued person and said loudly to Lan En and Aiden.
"It's a researcher from the Institute of Ecology who just came in for a new shift, meow! Go 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 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 go in and out quickly. Without a [cold drink], it's impossible to stay with Yanwanglong for a long time. 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 in 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 interior of the base, which was already creaking due to burning, even causing structural weaknesses in the wooden buildings.
With a "bang" sound, Lan En, who was opening the way, struck down [Alder's Seal] first, extinguishing the spreading flames and creating a gap.
"What bad luck!" Aiden behind him complained to him familiarly, as if Lan En had never left. "I'm here to hunt the Mud Ichthyosaurus today. I'm wearing waterproof equipment, which has extremely low fire resistance!"
"I felt like it would set off a spark, and I would have to roll on the ground several times to put it out."
"That's why we avoid fighting."
Lan En also echoed.
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 the Nergigante side by side on the back of the Molten Dragon yesterday.
It would be better if we were 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 had fainted from the heat in the study.
Without delay, Aiden helped the scholar up and 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, then he can inhale the smoke from the fire scene as air.
Unfortunately, his respiratory system is not yet strengthened.
He was not 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.
Lan En's body's recovery speed at this time is probably similar to that of a gryphon school demon hunter who specializes in magic seals after taking a potion to speed up the recovery of magic power.
Although the [Alder Seal] released 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, go, go!"
Aiden was muttering frequently at this time.
Although an excellent hunter like him was not facing an ancient dragon for the first time. But before, they were in a serious, alert, and equipped combat state.
Now wearing a suit of waterproof armor and wandering around Yanwanglong, 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.
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 surroundings were ablaze, making people's eyes dizzy.
But just as they were about to leave without looking back, Lan En glanced at the location of the Flame King Dragon before turning around.
"boom!"
Next to this huge fiery red cat-like figure, a small black cloud suddenly burst out, and then the black cloud quickly exploded and made an explosion!
Aiden didn't look back, because he was familiar with the explosion, a small bomb barrel.
This is a base used for transporting supplies, and of course there are weapons and gunpowder reserves needed by hunters.
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.
Black smoke was inhaled from its nostrils, and it felt like an old smoker.
Later, the gunpowder was ignited by the high temperature, and Yanwanglong continued to **** it. After all, it had no feeling of the heat at all.
