Chapter 427: An Unexpected Discovery

It took a few minutes for the three of them and the two cats to communicate, and simply completed the topographic map of the surrounding stone forest and the nearby watershed.

More detailed details could be added back to the camp, and now all they had to do was continue scouting.

"Let's go, go to the secondary peak southwest of the camp."

After Gordon stuffed a piece of food into his mouth, he put on the hood of his camouflage cloak again, and walked out of the rock recess where he was temporarily hiding, "It's more dangerous to climb the mountain at night, so be careful." ”

The hunters took advantage of the darkness of the night and moved up.

At this time, it was just past midnight, and before dawn, there should still be time to complete the reconnaissance of the secondary peak.

The secondary peak of the target is very high and conspicuous, and even at night, at a distance of several kilometers, you can see it in a hazy way.

The hunters were cautious all the way, and it took more than half an hour to finally come to the bottom of the mountain.

It's a trapezoidal mountain, a bit like a truncated pyramid if I have to describe it, and its shape is slightly out of place with the surrounding mountains.

Khayata and Anhill looked at Gordon, who thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "First go around the foot of the mountain to investigate, search for anomalies, and find a suitable route to climb."

This mountain is not easy to climb, and if we find nothing abnormal at the bottom of the mountain, we will consider climbing to the top of the mountain. ”

Hayatta and the others had no objection, and the group clung to the cliff at the bottom of the mountain and reconnoitred.

Another more than an hour of searching without discovery.

Just as Gordon was thinking about it, he should have figured out how to climb up, Hayatta, who was at the end of the line, suddenly let out a slight whistle.

The whole team immediately came to a standstill.

Gordon, who was in charge of opening the way, and Anhill, who was in the middle of the group, cautiously watched the surroundings as they converged towards Hayatta.

Finally, they are concentrated in front of a cliff that looks unremarkable at first glance.

"Pork chops, pandan, watch around, pay more attention to the sky." Gordon whispered.

"Understood."

"I even know about meow."

Gordon walked over, and Hayatta was holding a stripping knife, poking at the root of a small pine tree growing on the cliff face.

When she had loosened the earth, she grabbed the trunk of the tree and shook it vigorously to pull up the small tree, which was no thicker than her wrist.

Gordon helped, and the two quickly pulled the small pine tree off the rock wall.

Halfata tossed the tree aside, placed her palm on the tree's original root, and grabbed it a few times to remove the mulch and moss.

A flat gray-black wall appeared in the hunters' sight.

"It's."

Gordon gently stroked the tight seam that couldn't be pierced with a paper cutter, "Undoubtedly man-made, ruins?" ”

Anhill also leaned closer, took a closer look, and muttered, "This kind of brick. Gordon, do you remember when we used to dig talismans at the volcano? ”

"Hmm."

Gordon glanced at the epitaph sword behind him, "It should be a relic of an ancient civilization, Hayata, such a thick covering of soil, how did you find it?" ”

"Look at this cliff."

Hayatta took two steps back, raised her head and said, "Don't you think, it's a bit too flat?" ”

"Really."

Gordon looked up and observed, "Actually, if you say that, this whole mountain is a little strange?" ”

Anhill said "um" and said: "I didn't think much about it at first, but now it seems strange, the shape is too regular, and it is too 'independent', so it is poked here alone."

If this is really a relatively complete ruin, the scale is a bit staggering, could it be because of this ruin that Lan Long is angry? ”

"I think it's possible."

Hayatta nodded: "But looking at the appearance of this ruin, it is estimated that it has been more than thousands of years here, why has nothing happened for so many years, but it was only since last year that it was provoked?" ”

"Is it possible that there is something in the ruins that has escaped?" Gordon muttered.

Hayatta and the others suddenly felt goosebumps rise on their bodies.

Xianglan, who was always eavesdropping, exploded and said: "Don't tell horror stories at such times!" ”

"Ahem."

Gordon also felt that the statement that something came out was too exaggerated, so he changed his words: "Or, well, for example, there is a natural disaster such as an earthquake and a landslide, which has caused some changes in the ruins, such as collapse and damage, so Lanlong has become abnormal?" ”

"Collapse and breakage caused Arashi to become abnormal? Does you mean that Lan Long is guarding the ruins? Anhill couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, no, it can't be a guardian."

Gordon waved his hand and said, "If it's a guard, why wouldn't Lan Long refuse to approach this area?" It should come over often, or even nest directly near the ruins. ”

"That's right." Anhill was convinced, "Then what do you think could be the reason?" ”

Gordon tapped the exposed ruins on the wall a few times, "I'm guessing for no reason, or just a possible example."

Wasn't the ancient people of the ancient era much more advanced in technology than us? Strange alloys like Epitaphs with powerful dragon attributes can be concocted.

Then it's not surprising that they can create something that makes Lan Long feel jealous, right?

Just take an example, for example, this relic is a smelter of dragon attribute alloys, and because of landslides and other reasons, the dragon attribute energy inside leaked out, which shocked Lan Long.

Isn't it reasonable to think about it this way? ”

"Although it is baseless nonsense, there is some truth to it"

Anhill tugged at the corners of his mouth, "So what should we do next?" ”

Gordon took a deep breath, "Continue to explore around this mountain, or ruins.

If it is really as we guessed, because of the earthquake and landslide, the ruins are damaged, it should be visible from the outside. ”

"Hmm." Anhil pondered for a moment and said, "There are still about three hours until dawn, and considering the distance back to the camp, the time is relatively short.

I'd recommend scattering scouting, as the Eluls are better at climbing, allowing them to climb to the top of the ruins to investigate. ”

"Okay, we'll meet here in an hour, everyone pay attention to secrecy, we may be very close to the truth, don't let your guard down at the last moment."

"Okay."

"Understood."

"I'll leave the matter of climbing the mountain to Zai Meow!"

The hunters dispersed, and they circled the ruins from two directions, while concentrating on the state of the mountain, or the outer walls of the ruins.

The pork chop took pandan and crawled above the ruins.

It is indeed difficult for humans to climb steep slopes with bare hands, which lack a point of strength and an angle of more than 60 degrees.

But that didn't bother the Eluls.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the pork chop and pandan to reach the peak.

"There are so many trees, it's almost a jungle up here," Pandan muttered.

"Look for the meow separately, be careful."

"Even the most cautious meow!"

Pandan and the pork chop scattered, landed on all fours, and flew forward into the highland jungle.

"Good black meow, why is it so big here, I want to go back to meow" There is no one else around, Xianglan is no longer hard-mouthed, it keeps talking to itself, dispelling the fear of unknown darkness.

"Meow!"

One of Pandan's front feet suddenly stepped into the air, but Elu's super reflexes allowed her to respond and the whole cat bounced backwards as if it had a spring.

"I'm scared to death," Xianglan scratched her ears in shock.

It looked up and saw a huge crack several meters wide and more than twenty meters long lying in front of it.

"Looking, found meow?"

Ps.

There is only one platform in the map game of Lingfeng.,There are some mountains in the distance or something.,The ruins here haven't appeared in the game.,It's an independent adaptation.,Otherwise, there's really nothing to write about Lingfeng.
