Investigation Team No. 7 set out again after resting. They collected a broken claw of the bronze dragon and took it with them, following the direction in which the bronze dragon disappeared.
Wu Qi was very familiar with tracking down escaped injured prey. As soldiers of the investigation team outside the wall, Yue Zhanfei and others are equally capable in that regard. They followed the direction of the gravel on the rocky beach, the degree of wear and tear, and the residual smell of the bronze dragon. They finally saw a huge valley after 20 minutes.
The rocks in that valley are as dark gray as most of the rocks in the abyss, but the difference is that there is a bit more silver in the dark gray. There is a strip of vegetation at the top of the valley that stretches to the end of the valley. The lush vegetation prevents the dull silver mountains from appearing bare and gives them an obvious sense of vitality.
Yue Zhanfei stood in the center, and the others gathered around him. His right leg was drawing dots on the electronic map of his brain while explaining it to a few people in the logistics team who didn't know about the "Steel Valley".
"That 'Steel Valley' was the lair of the giant bronze dragon. The dragon was seriously injured and blind, and as expected, returned to its lair. When they came to the east, they asked to go in through the valley road in front, and be careful to keep their voices down. , without making any movement, after seeing the giant dragon, he leaned against the mountain, looking for a bunker such as a boulder to prevent the bronze dragon's indestructible scales from scattering. They waited until everyone had deployed their positions before starting to harvest and shoot. They must succeed in one fell swoop. , don’t let it escape again! Do you remember everything?”
"Remember." Everyone replied.
Yue Zhanfei glanced at the crowd and continued: "What he said just now is the most important final stage. He asked me to talk about the Yidong Valley Road. It is not a creature in the bronze dragon's lair. Iron Valley There are many intricate weathered tunnels outside. The roads in the tunnels have hundreds of twists and turns, and there are thirty or forty steel dragon birds living inside. The steel dragon birds are all second-level plague species. They are equipped with a variety of defensive powers. As hard as a super alloy, bullets from electromagnetic rifles cannot kill it in one hit, and it is closely related to whether it is associated with the bronze dragon. The bronze dragon provides a safe habitat for the steel dragon bird, and the steel dragon bird grows from the bronze giant. The crystallized excrement of the dragon obtains nutrients that enhance the ability and helps it clean up the dirt, just like the crocodile and the toothpick bird each take what they need; and if the bronze dragon is injured, the steel dragon bird will come to protect it instead! "
"In other words, they must eradicate the group of steel dragon birds that will protect the bronze dragon before they can enter the mountain!" Yue Zhanfei finished speaking.
Yue Zhanfei was fully prepared before he officially launched the operational plan to hunt the bronze dragon. A lot of information about the bronze dragon was not obtained by everyone's joint efforts, and the information related to the dragon's lair was not obtained by him and Wu Qi. Explore the bottom. With sufficient intelligence, even if they failed to find the bronze dragon on the spot in the "funnel", they still had a certain degree of initiative after the bronze dragon escaped back to its lair.
"The only problem now is how to eradicate those steel dragon birds." They have strong defense and vigilance, are numerous in number, and can fly, but their team lacks long-range range attack legs. And one thing is certain, they cannot go to their home ground to fight. "Wu Qidao. He couldn't think of any way to deal with the group of steel dragon birds.
Pi Chunsheng held Dongba with one leg. He had been deep in thought when Yue Zhanfei and Wu Qi were silent just now, and now he suddenly said: "He doesn't know the principle of Steel Dragon Bird's defensive ability. If Dragon Bird can test it for him, he might have a way to solve it." Drop all dragon birds."
When Yue Zhanfei heard Pi Chunsheng shut up, he glanced at Wu Qi, as if he had thought of something. He said: "Xiaopi, my power should be fine. Wu Qi said that the skin and bones of the Steel Dragon Bird contain an excessive amount of metal elements, and the defensive aliens all over the body are also inseparable from the metal elements. Are they obtained by consuming the crystals excreted by the giant bronze dragon all year round?"
Wu Qi nodded. He and Yue Zhanfei hunted a steel dragon bird during their investigation, and used the revelation of life in the wilderness to see through the dragon bird's body, and came to the conclusion that Yue Zhan's posthumous title was not mentioned. He didn't know what kind of power or method Pi Chunsheng wanted to use.
Pi Chunsheng said decisively: "Is that feasible? They were placing the severed claws of the Eastern Dragon on the valley road. They were hoping that the broken claws could attract the Steel Dragon Birds, so he used 'petrification' to remove the metal from their bodies. All the 'minerals' are converted into stone, and we will show up to harvest them again."
Pi Chunsheng has two positions in Investigation Team No. 7. One is the "occult navigation" that Wu Qi and others know and are deeply impressed by, and the other is the "field control assistant" that Wu Qi and others are seeking. In previous investigation missions outside the wall, Pi Chunsheng played the role of "field control assistance" most of the time. "Divination" only rarely played a role, and he basically stayed on the bench.
Wu Qi quickly absorbed and understood the information Pi Chunsheng said. He has a good memory, and now he recalls that when he first met Yue Zhanfei, when Yue Zhanfei introduced Pi Chunsheng, he said that Pi Chunsheng was an indispensable field control assistant for the team. "Field control assistance" is the main requirement, and "occult insights and research" occupy this position.
However, in the current mission of investigating the throne ship, Pi Chunsheng has never played a role as a "field control assistant". Instead, his magical ability "Divination", which has always been on the bench, shines, so Wu Qi and others almost Forgot Pi Chunsheng's main job.
According to Pi Chunsheng's battle plan, everyone placed the severed claws of the bronze dragon in the center of the valley road and hid themselves in various sections of the valley road. A dozen steel dragon birds were gliding from the steel valley in the sky above, hovering outside the valley. Their appearance is three-quarters like a bird and seven-quarters like a pterosaur from prehistoric times; when their silhouettes overlap with the blazing red sky arc light, to the human eye it seems as if their entire bodies are wrapped in silver brilliance.
Just as a small group of Steel Dragon Birds hovered in the sky above the valley road, suddenly a Steel Dragon Bird smelled the breath coming from the east, and led a group of companions to swoop down and slow down to land on the valley road.
More than a dozen steel dragonbirds surrounded the broken claw of the giant dragon in the center. Some of the dragonbirds tentatively poked the surface of the dragon's claw with their long pointed beaks, while others looked around, alert to the situation.
The length of that dragon claw was nearly the height of a normal adult male, and it was huge, weighing over a hundred kilograms. At the very beginning, Wu Qi and Yue Zhanfei thought of the point that "you cannot fight on the home ground of the Steel Dragon Bird, you must attract them out", so they carried it to the entrance of the Steel Valley.
