"Black Dragon, let's go down, and keep your ears pointed..."
Regardless of whether the black dog could understand him or not, Yang Zheng casually gave an order, then found a relatively easy mountain path and carefully made his way down to the open basin below.
If it weren't for the fear of making too much of a commotion and alerting the enemy.
Normally, Yang Zheng could reach the foot of the mountain in no time with a quick acceleration.
It took Yang Zheng about ten minutes to finally reach the foot of the mountain.
I looked up again to take a look.
Ahead lay a flat, primeval forest.
The trees in this small basin are all very tall; basically, each tree is over four meters tall.
If converted to Earth's height, these would be towering trees over forty meters tall.
Even if Yang Zheng walked into the woods, he would be hidden by the lush foliage overhead.
This would make it easier to hide the giants' whereabouts.
The basin is open and flat, about the size of several football fields. As for whether the airship's temporary base is really hidden here, we'll have to go inside and search slowly.
Just now, when we were on the mountaintop, Yang Zheng carefully observed the terrain and environment of the basin.
The basin is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with peaks of varying heights. There seem to be gaps and narrow valleys in the middle of the mountains, so you can only see the general outline.
After all, it wasn't daytime.
Night vision goggles aren't as amazing as I'd imagined.
The farther away you are, the blurrier and less clear things become.
Otherwise, given the size of that black airship, which is four or five meters long, it wouldn't be difficult to find any clues related to it from a high vantage point on the mountain.
After all, it would be virtually impossible for such a massive aircraft to remain undetected if it were truly hidden within this basin.
In the following time, Yang Zheng planned to take the black dog and slowly search around the basin.
In any case, the terrain within the basin is open and flat.
Although the trees were tall, the gaps in the forest were also large, so the giant could walk through them without any problem.
Yang Zheng stepped onto the soft ground, moving forward with as little care as possible.
The closer you get to your target, the more careful you need to be, lest they escape.
The man and his dog moved silently through the dark forest.
When they reached the central area of the basin.
Suddenly.
The black dog that had been running ahead suddenly stopped.
His body tensed slightly, his ears stood up straight, and his nose twitched a few times.
"Did it discover something?"
Yang Zheng's heart stirred, and he also stopped walking.
At this moment, the black dog suddenly turned around and looked up at a big tree on its right. In the night vision goggles, its eyes flashed with extreme sharpness.
Seeing this, Yang Zheng felt something was amiss and immediately followed the black dog's gaze.
After looking for a while, all I could see were the dense branches and leaves at the top of the tree; nothing else.
"There must be something there, otherwise the black dragon wouldn't be behaving so strangely!"
With that in mind, he focused his attention again and carefully observed the lush treetops.
This time, he observed very carefully, leaving no place unnoticed where a villain might be hiding.
After observing for a long time, I finally made a discovery.
"Huh? There seems to be a little bird perched on the branch..."
A black bird, about the size of an autumn cicada, stood on a tree branch four meters above the ground.
With the help of night vision goggles, Yang Zheng stared at the little bird for a long time before finally realizing that it was a black owl.
In such a primeval forest, which is also a desolate wilderness, it is quite normal to see owls.
Owls are nocturnal birds.
Looking down at the black dog again, it still stared sharply at the miniature owl, its eyes filled with vigilance.
Looking at the black dog's appearance, Yang Zheng couldn't help but recall what the elders in his hometown often said: some dogs are very intelligent and can foresee danger, helping their owners to escape misfortune...
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng immediately took out his slingshot and loaded it with steel balls.
If the black dog thinks there's something wrong with the owl, then there is something wrong with it.
Just take it down!
Given the short distance, it wouldn't be too difficult to pick someone up along the way.
But strangely, just as Yang Zheng took out his slingshot...
The black owl perched on the branch seemed to sense danger and flapped its wings rapidly, quickly flying into the sky.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
Yang Zheng pulled back the slingshot and instantly aimed at the flying owl.
With a distance of less than ten meters, it had no chance of escaping thanks to the precise slingshot in his hand.
With a soft "snap," the steel ball shot out and instantly struck the target.
As the battered owl fell to the ground, the black dog immediately ran over and retrieved it.
What's wrong with the owl?
Yang Zheng took the owl from the black dog's mouth, carefully examined it for a moment, but found nothing.
It's just an ordinary owl.
However, a pure black owl is quite rare.
Just as he was about to discard the owl, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an extremely fine thread tied around the neck of the miniature owl.
A metal tag the size of a sesame seed was hanging on the silk thread.
"This owl is not wild; it is domesticated by an owner!"
In an instant, he understood what was going on, and at the same time, he felt inexplicably excited.
"The temporary base of the little airship must be hidden nearby."
"That black owl just now was clearly a sentinel owl planted in the forest by those scoundrels."
Thinking of this, he immediately took off the Thunderbolt rocket launcher from his back, ready to fire at any time.
Wearing the golden snake armor is very convenient.
No more carrying that cumbersome shield! Now my hands are completely free, making everything so much more convenient than before.
Now that we've determined the enemy's temporary base is located within this basin...
The rest was much easier.
All he needs to do is search patiently.
Yang Zheng, accompanied by the highly vigilant black dog, continued his search, heading straight ahead.
Soon, they reached the opposite end of the basin.
Before us stood a steep mountain peak.
Looking around, all I could see were dense forests.
In terrain like this, there's simply no way to park an airship.
"Not here, keep searching!"
This time, Yang Zheng no longer traversed the forest to search as before. Instead, he carefully searched along the edge of the basin and the foot of the surrounding mountains.
In less than ten minutes, he searched the small half of the hillside around the area but found nothing suspicious.
However, he did not give up, as there was still more than half of the mountain range to be searched.
Continue advancing along the edge of the basin.
Sudden,
Just then.
A piercing buzzing sound came from within the basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Buzz...
Yang Zheng listened intently for a moment, then his expression changed.
"Oh no! It sounds like the airship is making that noise. Those cunning little devils have noticed it and they're trying to escape!"
Thinking of this, he immediately waved to the black dog and said, "Hurry up and chase after them!"
With a whoosh, the black dog transformed into a black lightning bolt and instantly rushed into the dense forest.
Clearly, with the dog's keen hearing, it already knew where the enemy was.
Yang Zheng just needed to follow behind it.
