Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 186 Found the Nest (3rd Update)


Hard, hard, hard!

The Wet Bone Forest itself is already the home turf of the giant snake group, coupled with their infrared detection capability, in this fog-filled woodland, they possess a cheat-like perspective ability.

Trying to find the giant snake's lair in this forest will take an unknown amount of time, let alone having to guard against the snake's raids along the way.

For a moment, all the Beastman officers inside the base fell silent, even Gory couldn't come up with a method to break the deadlock quickly.

With the strength of the Dragon Nest Legion, although they possess the power to forcefully break through the entire Wet Bone Forest, it's still unknown how many lives would be lost in the process. Even if they do break through the forest, if any fish slip through the net and swim in this fog-covered woodland, it would be even more troublesome.

At the moment, Austin had no good ideas either.

To crush the giant snake group in one move, one must find their lair, but in this kind of environment, it's impossible to deploy Beastman soldiers for a blanket search, and even assembling together for search would consume an unknown amount of time.

While deep in thought, the Beastmen sitting around the fire could not come up with anything.

Just as Austin was about to call off the meeting, he suddenly noticed in his peripheral vision, on the previous battlefield, two Blood Wolves sniffing around the ground stained with snake blood, occasionally licking the ground with their crimson tongues, and then looking into the distant darkness.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Austin's mind.

"Blood Wolves! Yes, the Blood Wolves!"

Giant snakes can sense enemy directions through infrared because the forest's fog poses little restriction to them, in fact, it becomes an advantageous home field for them.

While Dragon Nest Beastmen find their vision obstructed by the surrounding mist, it doesn't mean the Dragon Nest Legion lacks the ability to locate them.

Besides the Beastmen, the Blood Wolves are also part of the Dragon Nest Legion.

Blood Wolves, apart from seeing enemies with their eyes, can also confirm enemy locations through their sense of smell.

In this Wet Bone Forest, due to the foggy conditions, the Blood Wolves' sense of smell is somewhat dulled, initially only responding when giant snakes approached within a certain range of the base. Austin didn't let the Blood Wolves pursue due to various reasons, causing the Beastmen to inadvertently overlook this point.

But now, the situation is completely different from when they first entered the Wet Bone Forest.

Now, the identity of the enemies hiding inside the forest is clear; many worries no longer need to be feared, and the direction of the departing giant snakes can be tracked directly.

Moreover, the most important thing is the bloody scent from the injured giant snakes!

In the previous attack, the surging giant snakes were shot at by the Beastman archers in rounds of arrow rain. Although no giant snakes were killed, some scales from the snakes at the center of the arrow rain fell off, leaving them wounded and forced to hide behind.

After the snake group retreated, the bloody scent left by the injured snakes became the best marker!

"Everyone, be prepared to march quickly following the Blood Wolves' lead at daybreak; action must be swift to catch the snake group off guard!"

With this thought, Austin immediately gave the order.

The bloody scent can linger for a considerable time, and tracking closely behind the retreating snake group using the Blood Wolves should lead to the giant snake group's lair base.

And judging from tonight's situation, the one commanding the snake group in the darkness has certain intelligence. To conquer them, a rapid march must be executed to catch them unprepared!

...

The next day, the prepared Dragon Nest Legion set out thunderously, following closely behind the Blood Wolves, advancing quickly.

This time, Austin also soared in the air, moving along with the team; beneath, teams of Beastmen flowed like a torrent through the forest, an unstoppable force, destroying everything in its path.

The entire Wet Bone Forest area is a five-kilometer basin, and with full-force marching, they can cross it by midday.

Therefore, under Austin's strategic decision, the Dragon Nest Legion had abandoned the initial step-by-step cautious approach.

After marching for an undefined period, as the ground gradually turned into piles of round stones, the towering trees around began to become sparse, massive round paths appeared between half-height unknown shrubs.

At this point, the Blood Wolves at the front stopped, growling lowly at the front, pausing and restlessly facing forward.

"This is the place!"

Austin landed on a branch of a gigantic tree, gripping the iron-like iron claws tightly onto the branch, his gaze fixed ahead.

Under this dense white mist, the Beastmen's vision is limited to within ten meters, but being of the Giant Dragon Race's legendary bloodline, Austin's senses are several times stronger than those of ordinary races like Beastmen. In this thick mist, he can even see fifty meters away.

In his line of sight, a large fountain-like valley entrance loomed faintly, surrounded by unbelievably smooth round stones; it's uncertain whether these stones are naturally formed or manmade.

And at that time, surrounding the valley entrance, were massive pythons curling, each was twenty to thirty meters long, as thick as a barrel, no less intimidating than the giant snake group that raided the temporary base last night, with a number exceeding hundreds!

As for the leader of the snake group, due to the terrain and fog cover, Austin did not see it.

But it's certain that the leader of the giant snake group must be among them.

Moreover, based on previous signs, it's speculated that these giant snakes might be snakes that prefer nocturnal activities; now it's daylight, it's very likely all the giant snake groups are gathered in this pebble-filled valley.

"Bring the Blood Wolves, divide the teams, all warriors surround that valley entrance for me!"

With Austin's command, the Dragon Nest Legion down below immediately followed the Beastman Officers, dividing into four teams and dispersing in different directions.

The central team, gathered with Austin, Rodney, Quik, and most of the combat forces, was responsible for the frontal assault.

As for the other three teams, they circled around, surrounding on three sides, waiting for Austin to lead the Beastman army to penetrate the giant snake group head-on, they would then converge to completely kill the escaping giant snakes.

"All units advance!"
