Monster life starting from picking up materials

Chapter 312 The physiological structure of the ruined city.

"Stupid dog! It bit my hand!!!"

Ji Jie stretched out his other claw to pry open the upper and lower jaws of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and then pulled his claw out of his mouth.

His physique is very strong now. Even in the form of Tengumon, Thunder Wolf Dragon can't bite him to pieces instantly, but it still leaves deep teeth marks.

Shaking his claws, Ji Jie pulled out a bundle of silk threads and pressed down on the Thunder Wolf Dragon's head.

"Ouch! Ouch! Hoooo!"

The Thunder Wolf Dragon kept struggling, with lightning flashing on its back. The lightning bugs finally dared to stick their heads out to protect it, and hit Ji Jie's body with electric current.

【Vajra Body】

Although it was a bit of a waste of talent, it also made Ji Jie stand still at this moment, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon could only watch him tie its upper and lower jaws.

After transforming into a mantis and scaring off the lightning bugs, he started grilling again.

Although he was bitten, he was still quite satisfied with the Thunder Wolf Dragon, especially the desire in its eyes when he was eating meat in front of it.

Every chef longs for recognition from diners to prove that what he or she makes is indeed delicious.

"I just want to see your longing eyes!"

Ji Jie pounced forward and stared at the Thunder Wolf Dragon in the face, scaring it so much that it shrank its head. But after it reacted, it opened its mouth to bite, but unfortunately its upper and lower jaws were tied together, so it could only hit it with its nose.

superficial.

Ji Jie simply moved the barbecue grill to a place where the Thunder Wolf Dragon could not reach, and started grilling meat in front of it, enjoying its eager eyes.

This eager look was the best side dish, allowing the remaining green bear meat to be roasted and eaten in no time.

“This is the last piece~”

The piece of meat in his hand was dangling in front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Ji Jie transformed into a mantis, holding the piece of meat and jumped onto its back.

The silk thread tied the piece of meat and hung it in front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon like a fishing rod.

After cutting off the silk thread that bound the Thunder Wolf Dragon, Ji Jie shook the piece of meat to lure it.

"Woo! Hoo!"

The Thunder Wolf Dragon just lay on the ground, constantly poking its head out to get at the piece of meat.

The devil's sickle behind it suddenly hit its face, making it shiver and almost pee its pants. When it came to its senses, it found that the silk thread binding its upper and lower jaws had been untied.

咬！

No bite!

The piece of meat, emitting a strong aroma, leaped forward and narrowly "fell" to the ground in the distance.

flutter!

The piece of meat lifted up instantly, causing it to raise its head as well. Looking at the piece of meat so close to it, the Thunder Wolf Dragon put its head down and couldn't help but run.

"That's right."

Ji Jie let out a sinister laugh of a man who had succeeded in his conspiracy, and kept using pieces of meat to lure the Thunder Wolf Dragon forward to leap and bite, and run around the city again and again.

After running the third lap, he put down the barbecue and ended the lure, watching the Thunder Wolf Dragon tear the barbecue into its belly with one bite.

After successfully gaining satisfaction from the diners, Ji Jie turned his attention back to the transformation of the ruins city.

The silk thread was shaking. It was the Thunder Wolf Dragon that had torn a hole in the Pansi formation and escaped.

He didn't care. After all, capturing the Thunder Wolf Dragon was just to practice dragon-handling skills and to find a monster to share a barbecue with on a whim.

……

Assembling Gundams is a good way to pass the time. The sun rose and set more than a dozen times. Ji Jie climbed up the mountain on the silk thread and looked at his masterpiece.

The feet have larger soles to maintain balance, and the legs have been expanded to be more stable. At the same time, the materials used are made as symmetrical as possible, making it more beautiful than before.

He placed the base for the dragon-shooting spear under the cab, which made the ruined city look a little... weird.

If the ruined city with two legs and one tail is like an old mountain dragon with only half of its body left standing, then the place under the cockpit is ****——

Judging from its physiological structure, this dragon-slaying spear has truly become a "dragon-slaying spear".

With only the lower body shown, Ji Jie began to doubt whether the Gundam he had assembled was a real Gundam.

How could it be so unconventional! There's no place more aggressive than this one! This is a consideration of both balance and usability!

The mini dragon-slaying spears are installed on both sides of the legs, and their decorative significance outweighs their practical significance.

If compared to the lower body of the Laoshan Dragon, the part above the waist still does not exist. Instead, some usable cannons are installed on it, and the ammunition is specially filled. Ji Jie chose to position it as a salute.

The Fengshan Dragon-Strike Dragon Spear is mounted on the tail and can be pulled out and used as a weapon.

After admiring it for a while, Ji Jie entered the cockpit.

As the overall volume expanded, he hollowed out more space inside the ruins city to use as a cockpit, in which he hung his collections and some small sundries.

The collections are naturally hunting tools snatched or picked up from hunters, from swords to muskets, neatly arranged like the walls of an armory.

A steel chisel is suspended by a silk thread. When you step on it, it will hit the operating button of the dragon-shooting spear below, thereby firing the dragon-shooting spear.

Although the ruined city is still simple, it is much better than before.

Pulling the silk threads that controlled the joints of his feet, Xucheng took a step and began to leave the city wall where only broken bricks and tiles remained.

He had taken away all the good materials, even the gunpowder was placed in a silk cocoon as food for the Giant Triceratops and Flame King Dragon forms.

--the other side--

On the Ancient Dragon Observation Ship that left East Dorma and set off again.

"The Dragon Calendar Institute has confirmed the name of the monster. It's called the Pavilion Mantis. It's a beetle-like monster that uses the ruins as its nest."

"Whether in terms of creation or control, the Mantis possesses a high level of intelligence. The ruins city it created resembles an upright old mountain dragon with only the lower body. Perhaps it was based on the strongest monsters it had ever seen."

"It seems that the ruined city is still in an unfinished state. Both the material requirements for its completion and the impact it will have after completion are immeasurable. This is also the origin of our mission."

"It understands the tactics of using the Dragon Slaying Spear. It is likely that it once lurked in the shadows and observed the battle between the Fortress and the Old Mountain Dragon."

"And the most recent piece of intelligence we've observed is that the Mantis is manipulating the Thunder Wolf Dragon to move, and it seems to be able to form a symbiotic relationship with the monster."

This is easy to understand. After all, insect monsters can always release strong pheromones that can cause specific effects.

"That's all the information we have so far. It seems that in addition to the four-man elite team, we'll need more manpower to actually fight the enemy and prevent the monsters from intruding."

Campbell sorted out the information and looked at the hunters on the airship one by one. In addition to the four-man team that was carrying out the mission, there were also hunters guarding the airship.

The hunters guarding the airship may lack the ability to defeat elites, but they know how to prevent monsters from approaching.

Although observation and tracking are part of the mission process, the situation may deteriorate into a combat during observation and tracking, so it is best to make tactical deployments in advance.

The four-member elite team led by the chief hunter also has a high degree of autonomy.

They can directly attack it, or they can track and investigate to further confirm the danger of the mantis, decide whether to attack it, or even let the city issue evacuation orders to the villages along the way.

This is a hunting team that has both decision-making and execution functions.

The Mantis broke through the city in less than half an hour and received the treatment only available to ancient dragons.

Chapter 313 Countermeasures.

"There's nothing left."

Although they had received new intelligence from the camp, the four hunters who actually reached the nearest hillside could not help but sigh.

"Rebar, cannons, gunpowder, the entire fortress was emptied by that guy!"

Who would have thought that the plain before them was a fortress capable of fighting against the old mountain dragon just half a month ago?

"Be careful with the remaining silk threads and see if you can find something valuable."

The hunters slid down the hillside, and the hounds brought out from the camp chased them and launched a carpet search together.

"Boss, the Fanghound found some bones from the Blue Bear Beast and some Thunder Wolf Dragon claw marks."

"How long?"

Campbell's first reaction was that after Mantis left, other monsters entered the fortress and started to move around.

"It's been quite a while. It should be the Thunder Wolf Dragon that was ridden by the Mantis in the intelligence report. It's really interesting."

"Well, also keep an eye out for any human remains. Someone left something here, along with hunting tools."

After searching for a while, the hunters gathered at the place where the fang hound barked, watching it dig up the soil and reveal the corpse underneath.

"The camp hasn't sent out any more hunters. Perhaps some traveler passed by. They're really brave."

The hunting dogs were led away, and the hunters reburied the body with their own hands, bending solemnly to show their respect.

"Since there's nothing important left, let's go and chase it to find out what it is."

"Strangely, there's no gunpowder left. Could it be possible that it can create explosions?"

The greatsword guy who was transferred into the team from another hunter team was a little puzzled.

"Don't be such a pessimist. If it fills the city's structure with gunpowder, it could be devastating for us."

The one who spoke was the dashing female archer in the team. She had her long burgundy hair tied up in a high ponytail and a bow taller than herself slung on her back.

"The parts dropped by Xucheng are getting fewer and fewer. I still remember when we were tracking him, Xucheng dropped parts all the way."

"The investigation team that initially investigated the ruins city?"

The last man in the team, the swordsman who was armed to the teeth, looked at the big swordsman in surprise.

The two men were dressed completely differently. The swordsman, who should have been agile and light, was wearing heavy armor armed to the teeth, while the greatswordsman, who should have been bulky and hard, was dressed unusually lightly, even revealing his honest bald head.

"Well, we were behind when the fortress fell. It's a shame we couldn't make it to the battlefield."

"What kind of opponent is it? I heard they rejected gunners in this member selection and are looking for archers instead. Aren't they worried about the lack of long-range firepower?"

The archer looked at Cambe curiously.

Compared to gunners using heavy and light crossbows, although hunting bows can also shoot at long range, their combat distance can often be described as dancing close to monsters.

Unlike crossbowmen who rely on the explosion of ammunition after hitting the target to cause damage, archers often rely on the force applied to the arrow to cause damage to monsters.

In order to effectively kill large monsters, the iron arrows used by archers must be as heavy as spears. The speed and impact force of long-range shooting are severely attenuated, and they are easily bounced off or cannot penetrate.

If long-range attack doesn't work, just get closer. The instantaneous impact force of the bowstring is enough to break stones and split armor.

"At that time, our guards had completed the encirclement and containment, and the gunners who had found a good position could safely unleash their firepower."

"As a result, after launching a limited counterattack, the Mantis ignored our attack and headed straight for the gunman."

"You mean it can determine the target that currently poses the greatest threat to it? In that case, it's better to suppress it with a melee encirclement."

The female archer nodded.

But they still need certain long-range means to balance their tactics, so archers are needed.

"Not only that, but you should all be aware of another thing. It ignored us and attacked the hunter who activated the Dragon Striker. That hunter was not at all impressive."

"We can't use the Dragon Slaying Spear. This is based on the premise that Ge Mantis has seen the Dragon Slaying Spear in use, and it cannot be used as a consideration in combat."

After Campbell finished speaking, the swordsman put forward his own ideas.

"Based on the former, we might be able to control our own power output during battle, causing the Mantis to constantly change its assessment of danger, and try to prevent it from focusing its attack on one person."

"Interesting idea, maybe we can try it."

Campbell clapped his hands together and continued.

"By the way, find a way to limit the weapons that the Mantis can use. The Mantis itself has limited combat methods and mainly relies on using silk threads to control equipment, like a meteor hammer to cause heavy damage."

"I'll try to lock onto its silk gland nozzle and try to block it."

The female archer raised her eyebrows while holding her arrow, and the sphincters of the men present suddenly tightened.

"It's better to be cautious and observe it for a while before it causes any harm. It's definitely not a monster that can be dealt with easily."

Feeling everyone's strong desire to hunt, Campbell sighed and suppressed everyone's brief tactical discussion.

The more people discuss it, the more they will probably look down on Ge Mantis.
