CHAPTER TEXT:
"Quick!" Ye Zhongming issued the command firmly.
The aircraft immediately began a rapid descent, then rushed into a spot at the mountain pass.
"Slow down and continue monitoring."
Countless fragments of rocks and ice exploded from the peak above the pass; the giant dragon over there was clearly of the ice elemental type. This was another form of the water elemental dragon, which had lost its exceptional recovery and defensive capabilities but gained enhanced offensive power.
Clearly, if the aircraft hadn’t plunged into the mountain pass, this attack would have likely hit above.
A strike from a great master was not enough to cause the aircraft to crash, but a malfunction was guaranteed, and at that moment, the landing location might have been out of control.
The speed of the aircraft slowed down, and the detection devices continuously scanned the other side of the mountain to see if the giant dragon was pursuing them.
However, due to territorial differences, the ice elemental dragon circled nearby for a while, roared a few times, and gradually moved away.
This process lasted several minutes, with those inside the aircraft trembling in fear, skimming along the mountainside, worried about being attacked by the ice elemental dragon from the other side, and also concerned about being discovered by the giant dragon guarding the dragon egg on this side.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, and neither of those situations occurred.
"How far is it now?"
"Two hundred and ten kilometers."
"Proceed another fifty kilometers and choose a suitable position to land."
"Yes!"
Ye Zhongming issued the order, then immediately began to organize the equipment with those who were going to participate in the operation and prepare to disembark.
About ten minutes later, the aircraft arrived at a location one hundred sixty kilometers away from the dragon nest, hovering above a forest. Ye Zhongming and the others jumped down, and the aircraft quickly flew away to a suitable location to take off.
Afterward, it would return once it received a signal.
Ye Zhongming, Lai Lai Bird, and over three hundred tribal warrior guards swiftly advanced toward the dragon nest after landing. Lai Lai Bird occasionally flew up to the sky to scout the surroundings. Whenever they encountered some native creatures, both it and Ye Zhongming would strike quickly, not giving those native lives a chance to escape or create chaos.
One hundred thirty kilometers... one hundred ten kilometers... one hundred kilometers.
At this point, Ye Zhongming ordered everyone to stop and hide because, according to previous observations, the Rebel Dragon Race responsible for hunting would leave their nest within a few hours.
This time was not fixed; they could only determine the time range. So, when entering this interval, they could only stay here and wait for the dragon to leave.
Everyone tried their best to conceal their presence, and if there were any supportive drugs or equipment with such functions, they activated them as well.
The key to the success of this operation had several points, one of which was that their team could not be discovered by the first departing members of the Rebel Dragon Race.
If they had landed on the other side of the mountain as planned, this would have been quite easy, but now it was different; they needed to be extremely cautious.
After about three hours, the Rebel Dragon Race, which came out to hunt every day, finally appeared in the distant sky. Neither Ye Zhongming nor Lai Lai Bird on the ground looked, as they were not far from each other, fearing that the giant dragon would sense them.
The equipment was temporarily shut down for the same reason.
Only one member of the team, fuleira, who was the weakest with just over forty thousand in strength, occasionally glanced. He reported the situation in a low voice, and only after the giant dragon's shadow disappeared did they begin to power on the devices for exploration.
Ye Zhongming glanced in a direction and gestured; the team immediately continued moving forward.
