Chapter 919: Chaos (3)
As evening approached, the mist quickly shrouded in the surroundings. Relying on the reflection of sound, Kasia was able to keep moving through the dimly lit forest, even if he didn't rely on his vision to correct the scene in his head.
It was completely dark, and it was only when the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees that Kasia finally caught up with the five empty boats. The airship had landed, for only one was pulled by a thick steel cable tied to the ground, hovering a little higher from the tips of the ancient trees, guarding its surroundings. There was a faint flickering fire on the lower belly of the airship cabin, looming, and it was supposed that the pursuers had stationed there and began to rest. Hunting at night or catching creatures like dragons does make it much more dangerous.
After observing, Kasia slipped down from the ancient tree and slowly ran towards the location where the personnel of the Imperial Observation Base were stationed, while silently using the giant whale method. Having practiced at the military school for some time, he thought that now was the time for practical testing.
When the distance is close to a kilometer, the pace of jogging becomes walking. Kasia relied on his voice to search for possible patrols around him, and at the same time felt the changes in himself. The temperature difference was not as big as Kasia imagined, and after controlling his body temperature to about ten degrees, about the same as the surroundings, he walked over slowly.
It took about ten minutes to reach a distance of a few hundred meters, and when the distance was shortened to more than two hundred meters, I could faintly hear the voice coming from the camp. Maybe I don't think that at this time, in this place, there will be people other than the observation base, and there is no one patrolling around the improvised camp. Kasia lurked outside the camp, climbed slowly onto the ancient tree, and through a silhouette under the heavy trunk, he "looked" at everything surrounded by nearly a hundred huge tents.
The five airboats were just support, and the improvised camp had been built for a week or two. Kasia "saw" some buildings that didn't look like they had been improvised. There are nearly 500 people gathered here, plus the alert airships hovering in the sky, a total of thirteen airships stay here.
A dozen fires were filled with people, and it was already past midnight, and the group was still overflowing, at least that's what the noise told him. It seems to be a party, and those people are holding things in their hands, which should be wine, and at the moment they are talking to others about their daily life at home, and they are also yelling that after returning from here, they must go to the nearest city to vent their mouths.
Kasia was about to close the distance a little more when the humming in front of him suddenly stopped. Kasia returned to her original position and closed her eyes.
Like the commander of the camp here, he came out of his tent and came to the middle of a dozen fires.
"There is good news and there is bad news. The commander opened his throat and exclaimed, the sound reaching Kasia's ears slightly, "The good news is that after three months, our three large teams have finally surrounded the young dragon in the middle. Just a dozen kilometers ahead of us, tomorrow, everyone may be able to say goodbye to life here and return safely, ushering in the long-awaited long vacation. But there is also bad news, tomorrow is sure to be a tough battle, the growth of the young dragon is seen by everyone, it is very smart, and it will not come out after running into the geothermal area in front of us under our pursuit. As a result, many of our investigative methods have lost their effectiveness. But fortunately, under the consumption of these three months, the physical strength of the young dragon should be very consumed by us. β
"There aren't many chances, and if you let the baby dragon escape after this time, I'm not sure if it will stay in this general area. The operation is still carried out according to the previous mode, the airship will be the first to carry out an air strike, the young dragon is very afraid of the sound of the propeller, under the deterrence, you will encircle it on the ground, and lead it to the set trap to complete the missionγγγ"
The speech lasted about ten minutes before it ended, and Kasia opened her eyes and pondered as the words fell. The people who are observing the base seem to have figured out Cassihe's weakness during this time, and perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the fighting has stopped for so long. Even though Cassihey is only a young dragon that has not been born for a long time, and is far less experienced than the armed army of humans, the innate advantage of the second type of creatures makes them the overlord of a certain region almost from birth. When the scales are still gray, the defense of its hardness can ignore the attacks of many firearms.
I remembered the scene where I met Cassie, falling from the sky and lying in a pile of dead leaves. Kasia knew why it was afraid of the sound of the propeller. It was only after he was attacked by the Empire's military airship that he landed in the forest, and it was not long before Cassie Hei broke out of the dragon egg, and the sight he saw at birth has always affected him. While Kasia was still here, Cassihei would often look up at the top of his head at the slightest noise. If the airship was a little higher, the sound that reached the ground was indeed very close to the roar of a large lifting device.
That voice had been deeply imprinted in Cassie's head since soon after birth.
At this point, Kasia bypassed the camp and rushed straight ahead.
After more than an hour, the movement of the air flow was noticeably much faster. The temperature began to rise, the ground seeped out a trace of steam smoke, and the "snort" sound of gas gushing out of the gas sounded intermittently. Looking at the mixed steam and mist in front of him, Kasia sighed to himself that the geothermal area was much larger than he had estimated.
As she walked through it, Kasia roared out in dragon language. The effect is not obvious, the interference of the gas gushing sound is very strong, and the surrounding trees that have adapted to the environment act as a sound-absorbing material, and after absorbing the roar layer by layer, how far it can actually be transmitted, Kasia himself does not have good expectations.
He could only continue to walk through the middle, and Kasia made a note of the route, sorting it out layer by layer. Time quickly passed by hours on the mechanical watch, and Kasia detoured through the woods, never receiving a response.
On the ancient tree, Kasia had to stop after filling her stomach with sap. The entire geothermal area was too large for him to explore, and it was even more impossible for him to find Cassiehe.
"I had to wait until the people from the observation base came over and blended in. Kasia sat on the branch of the ancient tree, looking in the direction she had come from, and said to herself, "They should have some other way of finding out where Cassie Black is." β
"Looks like the plan to go to the tundra has had to be postponed for a while. β
