Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1488 The Rebirth of Isana!
After listening to Gordon's plan, Suda thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible.

"When it comes to terrain suitable for this type of combat, there are several options." She came to the campfire and spread out a map by the firelight.

"There is a horseshoe-shaped rock face here."

“There’s a canyon here.”

“Perhaps it’s fitting that this oasis is surrounded by huge hills.”

Suda quickly gave several options, and Khalid and Musa each added one.

As Heinie said before, there is no shortage of such places with uneven heights in the desert Gobi.

However, what they need to consider is not just the terrain that will serve as the final battlefield.

Whether the route to lure the Abyss-Swallowing Dragon is appropriate is also a very important consideration.

After repeated discussions, when the moon was at its zenith, they finally selected two relatively suitable options in all aspects.

"The wind-eroded stone forest in the north, and the canyon further east?" Gordon thought.

Suda smiled and said, “At the moment, I personally recommend Shilin.

Leihana, you said that the Abyss Devouring Dragon is still near the Great Sand Plain in the north, right? "

The light crossbowman who had just returned was roasting the food he brought with him and nodded, saying, "Yes, I saw it in the evening. It should have been sleeping. Its back was exposed on the sand, and it looked like a small hill."

Suda flattened the map, crossed out the location where the Swallowing Abyss Dragon appeared, and drew a circle in the stone forest in the north and the canyon in the east.

“I personally recommend Shilin, for no other reason than because it’s close.

The distance between the stone forest and the current location of the Swallowing Abyss Dragon is about five to six kilometers. If we, the top hunters, cooperate with each other, it should not be too difficult to lead it into the stone forest.

The terrain conditions on the eastern side of the canyon are better, like a big cage, but the straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers. Considering that we have to cross the sand dunes, the walking distance is probably more than twenty kilometers.

Even for hunters like us who are used to operating in the desert, it would take us half a day to run, and accidents are likely to happen."

Light crossbow user Leihana held the food in her mouth and said vaguely, "But if we want to consider setting up artillery, the Stone Forest is not suitable. It is also difficult to concentrate firepower."

"If we cannot successfully lure the Abyss Devouring Dragon to the location of the decisive battle, then no matter how good the terrain and how perfect the arrangements are, it will all be in vain."

"Hmm," Gordon said thoughtfully, "Senior Suda, can you take us to confirm the terrain tomorrow?
As for the distance problem, there may be a solution, but I am not sure yet."

Suda was slightly stunned when he heard this. "Of course there is no problem in going to the scene to take a look, but what do you mean by 'method'?"

Leihana and Khalid also looked over curiously.

"If all goes well, we might be able to get a fairly fast airship."

The Latio volcanic region is as hot as ever.

On the deck of the airship, one can see the rolling volcanic mountains in the distance and the columns of smoke rising into the sky.

Hayata took a deep breath.

The pungent smell of sulfur in the air made her feel an indescribable sense of nostalgia and familiarity.

"Meow" Xianglan covered her nose, looking reluctant.

For various reasons, it has never had a good impression of the volcanic area, but the grilled lizards here are indeed quite delicious.
Sophia, dressed in an emerald green scribe's robe, came to Hayata.

After returning to the Old World, she accepted the guild's appointment and became the secretary of the Barubare Guild.

She pushed her glasses and whispered, "Don't you think this scene is a little familiar?

That year, a small caravan consisting of several caravans set out from Balubare, crossed the land bridge to the north, and then arrived at the Latio volcano area on the east coast of the Old Sea. "

"We suffered a lot along the way, including the strange monkey fox, the beetle, and the female fire dragon." Hayata took over the conversation with a nostalgic tone.

"Suffered a lot? Really?"

Sophia tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Didn't someone kill people all the way from the west coast of the Old Sea to the east coast of the Old Sea?"

"It's not that exaggerated!" Hayata punched his friend angrily.

"Ah!" Sophia screamed in pain exaggeratedly, but there was a smile in her eyes.

She put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry. "Miss Swordsman, do you know how strong you are? Do you want to kill me with one punch?"

"Huh? Did I use that much force?" Hayata covered her mouth lightly and acted along with her, "I only used less than one-third of the force I usually use when hitting Gordon."

Sophia rolled her eyes. "How can I compare with your guy? I doubt even a cannon can hit him."

The two of them were laughing and joking, as if they had returned to ten years ago.

Before we knew it, the volcanic area was getting closer and closer.

The airship descended from the clouds, passed through the pass of a low extinct volcano, and landed in the almost completely enclosed mountain.

The light radiated from the magma replaced the sunlight, dyeing the prosperous village built here a burning golden red.

This is Naguli Village, a village on the lava lake.

As soon as I landed here, sweat already soaked the ends of my hair.

Hayata and Sofia were not upset because they knew where to find the best summer drinks.

"Here! Here!"

A familiar shout was heard.

Not far away, Isana, with her hair tied up, was jumping and waving at them.

"It hasn't been long since we last met, why do you feel you've changed so much?" Sophia looked at Isana in surprise as she ran over.

"You really use all your insight on monsters." Hayata sighed helplessly, "You changed your hairstyle."

"It's true." Sophia suddenly realized.

Ever since they met Isana, she had always had her hair down and tied with a headscarf.

Of course, it’s not that complicated now. She just changed her hair from loose to a high ponytail, which makes her baby face look a lot more mature.

"How is it!" Isana ran up to them, put one hand on her waist, and fiddled with her ponytail.

"At least she looks a little more mature than Fengying." Hayata said with a smile.

Isana was immediately discouraged, "It hasn't changed much."

Fortunately, she was also an optimistic person and quickly recovered her spirits, "Well, at least it proves that the approach is correct!

Maybe when you see me in a few years, I will have become a mature and sexy older sister?"

Hayata and Sofia looked at each other.

They both saw similar thoughts in each other's eyes - it was really hard to imagine such a scene.

"Oh! Oh, right, I almost forgot something!"

Isana’s face turned serious, “I received the letter Hayata sent via the peregrine falcon.

Seriously, this happened in Barubare, and you, Captain and Sophia, didn’t even tell us!

If Hayata hadn't sent me a letter two days ago, I wouldn't have known about it until now. He really doesn't treat me as a friend!"

Hayata also nodded in agreement.

“For the past few years, the Isana has been sealed in a warehouse in Naguli Village. The day I received the letter, my father and I went to check it out.

There are no problems with the airbag and the hull. Our Naguli Village is dry and the metal parts are not prone to rust and decay.

Repair and maintenance work is underway, and it will be back in service in two to three days at most!"

Isana spoke in an orderly manner. As for the question of "whether it can be borrowed", neither she nor the village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe had ever considered it at all.

"Oh, now there is only one question left. Hmm, it feels like I'm back in the old days." Isana crossed her arms and continued:

“We in Naguli Village don’t have any special gas for the Isana’s airbags. We can use the gas from ordinary airships, but it won’t allow the Isana to reach its maximum speed.

If you want to revive it completely."

"I understand."

Hayata smiled and asked, "Is there any mine nearby that has been harassed or blocked by Kailong?"

Ps.
　Regarding the question of whether the water beast girl is Gemma in the wilderness PV, to be honest, the official has not yet given a confirmation, but I personally believe it.

　　I won't say anything about death yet, you can think whatever you want~
