Chapter 908 – Chapter 898: Shadow
Dudian made up his mind to retreat immediately if the situation was not right. Although the polar ice insects were rare and precious opportunities were hard to come by.
At this time, Holaney had organized the first group of cannon fodder. They were led by two masters and took the lead to enter the ice forest.
“How far is it from this forest to the Ice Lake?”Dudian asked Holaney.
Holaney looked at the forest in front of them: “If it is a straight line then it is not far. It is less than 80 miles. It would be very troublesome if we meet some troublesome things.”
80 miles was not very different from 800 meters in the eyes of ordinary people. But if there were poisonous snakes and dogs along the way then most people would not think that the path was very short.
Barker said in a deep voice: “Try not to take detours. It is too dangerous to take detours in the forest. It is best to pass through as soon as possible.”
Holani nodded: “I know.”
“Can’t we burn the Forest?”Dudian asked.
The three of them looked at Dudian with strange eyes. How violent was his character to think of such a thing?
“It is impossible to burn the forest.”Holaney cursed in her heart, she explained to Dudian: “Fire is the nemesis of all things. But the temperature in the forest is low and there are many monsters with ice constitution. It is very easy to extinguish the fire. It is almost impossible to ignite the entire forest unless we bring a lot of tarps. Even if we burn the forest the monsters will rush out.”
“That’s true.”Dudian nodded. He felt that this method was inappropriate.
After ten minutes or so, the expedition team sent back the signal that they could enter the forest.
The four of them walked in the middle of the team. The rest of the hunters were responsible for the rear. They formed a long snake team and moved forward.
After coming to the forest, Dudian put away his previous casual attitude and let Aisha follow him closely. He was ready to use demonization to deal with the sudden attack. At the same time, his eyes flashed with a dark gold color from time to time, he used his X-ray vision to observe the surrounding environment.
Not long after they went deep into the forest, they heard the sound of fighting. Everyone was shocked.
Monica looked ahead and indifferently said: “Don’t worry, it’s not the Abyss.”
The few teams of hunters were relieved. They felt that their backs were covered in cold sweat. Compared to the happy days of the beauties in the giant wall, this place was like a hell.
Holaney whispered: “This is the territory of the Polar Ice Dragon. There shouldn’t be a second abyss. Everyone should be careful not to be ambushed by other monsters.”
Everyone heard Hoolani’s words. Soon the speed of the team increased. There were sounds of fighting along the way. Dudian followed the team and came to the place where the sounds of fighting were coming from, there were several bloody corpses on the ground as well as two monster corpses that had been split in half. The monster’s hair was dark blue and emitted extremely cold air.
Dudian was silent. The ability of an ice dragon to turn all the other monsters in the territory into ice was beyond his imagination.
Half an hour later, they passed through the ice forest. There were more than ten corpses of their companions and several monster corpses behind them.
After they walked out of the forest, they saw a vast lake in front of them. The surface of the lake was quiet and the water was clear. Dudian looked at the lake and saw that it was frozen.
“Prepare to lure the old dragon out.”Holaney looked at the huge ice lake and said in a deep voice.
Barker’s eyes were serious: “I’m going to say this first. Later when we attack, if any of us try to play tricks, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Holaney’s face slightly changed: “Of course. Please rest assured.”
“That’s right.”Dudian immediately said: “I don’t want to make things too clear. The Polar Ice Dragon is not an ordinary abyss. The enemy is in front of us. If anyone tries to sneak attack or play tricks, I will just leave. I don’t want the polar ice worm.”
The three frowned but didn’t say anything.
Dudian didn’t pay attention to them. He was just saying it out loud. If the enemy wanted to sneak attack or deliberately save energy, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Dudian used the heat source to observe the frozen lake. He didn’t see any heat source. He said to the three: “I will go to the sky to take a look.”
“Alright.”Holaney nodded and continued to command the others to set up the formation.
Dudian flew to a height of 20-30 meters and looked down. The Ice Lake was very large. There was no wind or snow on the surface of the frozen lake so it was as transparent as a mirror. He could see the dark green lake water at the bottom of the lake.
“The extreme cold ice dragon lives here. I don’t know if there are other fish monsters at the bottom of the lake. If there aren’t any then what does it eat?”Dudian thought, the biggest problem for all life was eating and drinking. Especially for the large monsters which ate tons of food. They had to hunt or migrate every day. They even had to fight for food with the difficult hunters, they had to challenge the overlords in other territories. Once they were injured the difficulty of finding food would increase. They would starve. The hungrier they were, the more powerless they would become.
In the world outside the giant wall, countless monsters died every day. Many of these monsters were extremely fierce monsters.
From the current situation, the Arctic Frost Dragon was obviously an amphibious monster. It could even fly.
Dudian looked around the lake and soon found a mess of claw marks. It should have been left by the Arctic Frost Dragon when it went ashore to search for food. However, in addition to the claw marks, he saw some potholes and traces of fighting. In addition, he saw half of the broken gun inserted into the edge of the tree near the lake. It was covered by grass. If he didn’t look down from a high altitude and his eyesight was good.., he wouldn’t be able to see it.
“Have humans fought here?”Dudian’s eyes slightly moved but he didn’t think too much. The Ice Lake was recorded on the map in Holani’s hand. Naturally, there were humans who had explored this place.
He was about to land when a shadow suddenly flashed across the bottom of the frozen lake. Dudian thought that his eyes were blurred. A few seconds later, another huge shadow flashed past, it looked like a long snake.
Dudian’s eyelids twitched. Was this the Arctic ice dragon? Was it at the bottom of the lake?
He stared at the surface of the lake for a moment. The shadow once again flashed past. It was a long strip. It was estimated to be more than ten meters long. However, it only rolled over for a moment before drilling into the bottom of the lake.
He looked at the shadow for a moment but it didn’t appear again. He landed and looked at the hunters who were arranged by the lakeside: “Should we draw it out now?”
“Everyone is in position. We can start now.”Holaney said.
Dudian frowned: “Should we wait for the ice dragon to come out to hunt?”
“Wait for it to look for food?”The three of them weren’t rookies. They knew what Dudian meant, barker pondered: “When it looks for food, it means that it is hungry. Its physical strength is the weakest. It is best to attack at this time. However, we don’t know how often it eats. These cold-blooded creatures will eat for half a month. We can’t wait that long.”
Dudian saw that they weren’t aware of the ice dragon’s feeding pattern. He said: “Then prepare.”
“I don’t know if it is at the bottom of the lake or out looking for food.”Monica frowned: “If it isn’t at the bottom of the lake then we will alert it and take precautions.”
“I just saw a shadow at the bottom of the lake. I don’t know if it is it or not. But I guess there are no other monsters at the bottom of the lake.”Dudian said.
“You saw a Shadow?”The three were surprised. They knew that Dudian wouldn’t lie. It wasn’t good for him, holani immediately said: “In that case, let’s get ready. I will send people to blast the surface of the lake. I will lead it to this place. You will ambush it here. Try to lead it to the forest away from the Ice Lake.”
