Chapter 98 Crash Landing and Naguli Village

Ignoring the almost crazy professor, Gordon quietly stared at the great life in front of him.

He knew that Lan Long was also looking at him. This intuition came out of nowhere and made no sense, but he believed it firmly.

Slowly "swimming" on the wind and thunder to the airship, Lan Long raised his head gracefully, and his pair of silver-white giant eyes with invisible pupils were exuding pressure that ordinary creatures could not resist.

Pork Chop and Lao Hei simply fainted, but Professor and Alva, who looked much thinner, persisted.

The two of them were completely immersed in their own world, forgetting even their fear. Even if someone put a knife to their necks, they would not pay attention.

Gordon held the side of the boat and looked at Lan Long silently, but his heart felt calmer than ever before. The deafening thunder and wind seemed to have gone away from him.

 The entire scene became still, until a burst of laughter broke the silence.

 “Hahahaha, it’s done!”

The professor held the pieces of parchment high, rolled them into paper tubes, and then Alva carefully put them into the metal mailbox, tightened them with all his strength, and then buckled the belt carefully, "I will die without regrets!"

Lanlong's attention was attracted by the professor for a moment, and Gordon clearly noticed that the purple-red light spot on his body brightened for a moment, but then dimmed and returned to its original state.

“Tianjin is in trouble!” Gordon suddenly shouted. His voice was not high, but the determination in his eyes was conveyed to Lan Long who turned his eyes to him again.

 “One day, I will challenge you.”

Alva and the professor looked at him inexplicably, wondering where he got his confidence.

Lanlong stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and cruised around the airship at a speed that was difficult for human eyes to see clearly. The air flow he brought up formed a small whirlwind, making the airship creak.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lanlong returned to his original position. With a slight swing of his slender tail, the small cyclone that had just formed dissipated instantly, and the violently trembling airship returned to calm.

The gorgeous spiny fins and long tail are spread out, and the purple-red spots hidden under the cloud-white body are gradually lit up. It raises its head and neck high, like a **** overlooking the heaven and earth.

 “Woo~”

Following a long and clear roar, silver-white light condensed in its slightly opened mouth.

 It’s breath!

The violent airflow rotating at high speed envelops the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor. The silver-white breath is like a sharp sword in the hands of the gods. It passes by the airship and breaks the insubstantial wall of storm clouds into a huge hole.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle but powerful stream of air spurted out from the tip of Lanlong's nose, pushing the airship quickly through the hole opened by his breath and away from the vortex of the storm.

The airship that escaped the storm was on the verge of disintegration. The light gas in the airbag began to leak, and the airship gradually lost its buoyancy and staggered down.

The professor regained hope of survival and woke up the unconscious Lao Hei. He then took Gordon and the others to maximize the output of the propeller. While abandoning all the heavy supplies, he tried hard to turn the rudder and did everything possible to slow down the speed of the airship's fall. .

With a violent collision that swept through the whole body, the airship finally managed to land successfully thanks to the efforts of everyone.

Looking at the land not far away where a huge ravine was plowed by the mist dragon's breath, Gordon lost consciousness.

The airship made an emergency landing at the eastern edge of the Metabe jungle.

　　The strong impact during the emergency landing caused everyone on the airship to fall into a coma, even Gordon, who was in the best physical condition, was no exception.

Thanks to the remaining aura of Lan Long, which deterred the monsters and beasts in the mountains and fields, making them hide far away and dare not approach. Otherwise, what is the difference between falling into a coma in the wild and putting yourself on the monster's dinner table?

 But even so, the group was quite miserable.

　　The rolling collision during the emergency landing left Alva and the professor with multiple fractures all over their bodies. They were deeply comatose and unable to move independently at all.

Had it not been for the bottles of recovery medicine that Gordon carried with him, they might not have even been able to survive the arrival of the rescue team.

 Lao Hei had a broken arm and was grinning in pain, but thanks to his familiarity with the airship supplies, he found a distress signal and sent out a distress signal in time.

Gordon and Pork Chop, who were strong and experienced in impact resistance, were fine. Under their protection, the group lit a bonfire and stayed at the wreckage of the airship. They spent two days without incident until the rescue team arrived. .

 With the help of the team's doctors, the professor and Alva quickly recovered from their danger and regained consciousness.

The professor, whose whole body was bound up like a ball by splints and bandages and could not move, was the most excited one in the team. The old guy lying on the Herbivorous Dragon Car held the mailbox and giggled all day long.

 Not because he was lucky enough to survive, but because he obtained the most coveted thing for a paleontologist—ecological information about ancient dragons!

For this piece of information, even if you die immediately, you can shout "It doesn't matter if you die", let alone get a little injured?

Alva was also very excited. He heard from the professor that his participation in the observation of Ramosaurus and the improvement of the ecological data of ancient dragons were enough for him to become a full-time member of the Paleontology Scrivener Team.

Becoming an official member of the Scrivener Team means you are eligible to take the initiative to apply to go to the mountains and investigate the monster ecology!

 This has always been his dream.

After asking the rescue team, Gordon found out that the place where the airship crashed was actually not too far away from Naguli Village, which is almost the same distance from Kokot Village to Minagard City.

However, in order to avoid aggravating the injuries of the wounded, the convoy did not move very fast, and it was already more than ten days before it actually arrived at Naguli Village.

As soon as the rescue convoy arrived at Naguli Village, the professor immediately contacted the local Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and members of the Wang Li Paleontological Scrivener Team and asked them to prepare the airship as quickly as possible. He was going to report to the headquarters of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau in East Doruma. Archive with information.

 Lao Hei and Alva could have temporarily stayed in Naguli Village to recuperate, but the extremely hot environment here was really not suitable for recuperation, so they boarded the airship to East Doruma with the professor.

Gordon, whose legs are trembling even as he looks at the airship, can only wish them a safe journey.

 The village of Naguli is located at the foot of the volcano, not much larger than the village of Kokot where Gordon was born.

 This is a village belonging to craftsmen.

“Hot” was Gordon’s first impression of this village. It was even built directly on a lava river! The golden-red magma flows into the workshop along the river, providing a steady stream of high temperature for the workshop's crucibles and boilers.

A huge workshop shaped like a human head wearing a helmet was built. It looked particularly distinctive under the red light of the magma. Between light and darkness, it seemed as if the volcano was breathing.

The workshop was very lively. Gordon stopped for a moment. The whirring of the blower supplying oxygen and the clanking of the hammer could be heard constantly. It was even better than the workshop in Minagard.

 “Aha! Strange boy, what’s the matter?”

A loud and bold voice exploded behind Gordon. Even his big heart was shocked and his whole body was shaken. The hair on the pork chop and tail even exploded.

Looking back, he saw a short, stocky old man with an iron helmet on his head. His long gray beard was combed into an exaggerated horn shape.

"Huh?"

Gordon turned his head again and looked at the workshop built to look like a human head.

 Iron helmet, goggles, big nose, horn-shaped beard.

 Exactly the same!
