Chapter 2: Ancient Dragons

Two days later, the primeval forest hunting area, the hunter camp.

Ed walked into the camp and looked around, frowning slightly, "Wade, tent." Dan, check the guild's supplies. ”

Hunting camps are generally set up in relatively secluded places to prevent monsters from approaching. Sometimes an abandoned cave may be chosen, and sometimes it may be near a waterfall. But this time, the camp provided by the guild did not choose these places, but chose to be in the hollow of the withered tree, where large monsters such as the Wyvern and the Beast Dragon could neither enter nor fly in. Moreover, the entrance here is very narrow, and it is impossible for small monster birds and dragons to find here, so it can be said that it is very hidden.

"It's getting it, it's getting it, don't rush it." Wade muttered quietly as he busied himself about setting up the tent.

Dan walked over with a notepad and said, "Ed, there aren't a lot of supplies, just two maps and some ingredients. ”

Ed nodded, took out the power of attorney and handed it to Dan, "This task is to collect minerals from the primary forest, and the amount is relatively large, and it needs to be collected in batches. Also, according to the information provided by the head of Jiangbo Village, there are unknown monsters in the primeval forest recently, although there is relatively little sighting, it is better to be careful. ”

Wade leaned over and took a look, "Twenty white dove stones, twenty spirit crane stones, ten abyss crystals, ten colored crystals, and five cloud vulture stones." What does this Jiangbo Village want to do, to have such a large amount of mines? ”

Ed glanced at Wade, "Your tent is set up?" ”

"What's so hard about setting up a tent?" Wade pointed to the tent behind him, puffing out his chest as if to show off his work.

Ed looked in the direction Wade pointed, a barely built tent was standing there, and there were some small details that had not been taken care of, but he didn't bother to blame Wade for a while, so he nodded casually.

Ed clapped his hands and glanced at the two of them, "It's almost, just do whatever you want with the collection task." Dan, you stay at camp. Wade, you are in charge of the white dove stone and the spirit crane stone, you are not allowed to explode the barrel, make too much movement and don't know what monsters will be introduced, remember. ”

Dan stood aside and nodded, "Okay." ”

Wade, who was putting the exploding bucket in his backpack, was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Ed, "Huh? You can't use a blasting barrel, so many mines don't need to be blown up, so when will it be dug up? ”

"Put the barrel back, it's time to go, the mission time limit is thirty hours, and we'll go back to camp every ten hours." Ed took the map out of the supply box and tossed it to Wade, grabbed the cloak hanging by the side and walked out of the camp.

Dan stepped forward to stop Ed, "Wait a minute, Ed, let's put on the armor, didn't the intelligence say that there are unknown monsters infested?" ”

Ed waved his hand nonchalantly, "What equipment to wear to dig a mine, it's heavy to death." Let's go, Wade, what are you waiting for? ”

"Come on, come on, I'm going to wear it if you don't wear equipment!" Wade hurried up slowly, sorting out his gear as he walked.

Ed tore back the vines that were hiding at the mouth of the tree and walked out of the hunters' camp. The strong sunlight in front of him shook his eyes.

The camp is located on a small hill in the dense forest on the outskirts of the primary forest, with a great view of the surroundings. Forests and hills are lined up, and from time to time a few small birds fly lazily in flocks in the clear blue sky.

Ed walked forward after observing the terrain, and Wade quickly withdrew his gaze from the scenery in front of him, and followed in a panic so as not to be left behind.

The two of them walked along the path towards the interior of the primeval forest, and along the way they saw a group of herbivorous dragons walking slowly in the direction they had come. The sight made Ed frown. Herbivorous dragons have a gentle personality, and will give priority to fleeing when attacked, and will only fight back with their long thorny tails when they are forced to do so. Herbivorous dragons leave their habitats in droves, and something must have happened in the primeval forest.

"Unknown monsters......" Ed pondered earnestly as he stared at the herbivorous dragons.

Wade followed Ed's gaze to the group of herbivore dragons passing by, and said leisurely, "There are so many of these herbivore dragons, if you catch them, you will definitely be able to make a profit." ”

Ed glanced at him and said solemnly, "When you split up later, you have to remember not to move those small monsters, especially the Yellow Speed Dragon and the Blue Speed Dragon, and kill a group of them." ”

Wade was stunned and looked at Ed puzzled, "Why?" If they attack, I can't fight back? ”

Ed shook his head and looked into the depths of the primeval forest, "Didn't the intelligence say that there were unknown monsters infested?" I'm worried that the smell of blood will draw it out. If you can dodge an attack, you can dodge, but if you can't do it, you can retreat to camp. ”

Wade nodded helplessly, "Oh, okay, got it." ”

Under the scorching sun, Ed and Wade walked for a while before they split up and began to search for minerals.

The scenery in the depths of the primeval forest is very strange, with undulating peaks and lush trees. There are strange-shaped rocks and vigorous ancient trees, as well as skeletons as thick as buckets, and even green grass and fragrant wildflowers, full of vitality and vitality.

According to the map provided by the village chief, Ed went all the way and swept most of the mines in the primeval forest, and the harvest was very rich, the number of abyssal crystals and colored crystals was already enough, even exceeding the number required by the mission, but the cloud vulture stone was still a few pieces of it that were not found.

Ed searched the area and was disappointed that there was nothing left, and he sat on the ground tiredly, spreading out his map and looking at it carefully.

"I don't believe I can't dig ......," Ed muttered to himself. He stood up and wiped his sweat, put away his pickaxe, and walked straight to a mountain peak deep in the primeval forest.

It is a majestic ancient mountain, and the grass and trees flourish among the peaks formed by huge keels supporting each other. Ed climbed a steep slope along the vines and found an open area in front of him, and when he looked closely, he was startled by what he saw. In the huge area, bones are everywhere, no birds and beasts can be heard, no traces of ant and insect activity can be seen, and it is so quiet that it is almost dead silent.

"What's going on here?" Ed's heart suddenly froze, and he had a bad premonition. He thought about it for a moment, then finally walked forward, quickly deep into the area.

"Huh? There is actually a mine here, which is not marked on the map. Ed looked around and found a crack in a stone wall where the minerals reflected in the sunlight.

Eddard quickly stepped forward and slammed his pickaxe into the crack with precision and force.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound echoed in the area, and Ed quickly turned to look around against the stone wall, his heart was panicked, although he didn't know what was happening in this area, he had a hunch that this situation should continue. When the echo ended, and after waiting patiently for a while, he wiped a cold sweat and continued to raise the pickaxe to smash it into the crack.

"Ding!"

"Silk ......" In the depths of a dense forest, there was a slight sound, like a snake spitting letters, purple mist filled there, and bursts of fishy smell came to it.

"Not good!" Eddard's heart thrashed, and the pickaxe, which was about to smash into the crack, stopped in mid-air.

In that dense forest, there was a monster twenty meters long, lying prone in the dense forest, constantly spitting poisonous mist from its mouth, and it looked very restless.

"Basiosaurus?"

The lilac scales on the huge, stout monster were the size of a palm, very bright, and glittered in the sunlight. It has two pairs of outstretched feet and a pair of membranous wings, and has a leaf-like hypertrophic tail with a curly tail tip. And the most peculiar thing is the dark red horn on its triangular head, which constantly changes color.

"It's not a snake dragon! This is...... Gurlogne! Ed's heart sank.
