The airship that Gordon and the others were riding on when they came had been waiting in a cave twenty or thirty kilometers away from the Lingfeng Mountain Range.

It was close to the retreat meeting point.

Before nightfall, the airship set sail smoothly - that's the benefit of having a mine at home.

There is no need to worry about the route and departure time, the driver and crew are their own employees, and they are on call, which is as convenient as a Marutori car.

The professors couldn't help but look at Anhill a few more times.

With this kind of family conditions, it is not for nothing that the young master and miss who came to be born and die as a hunter, but most of them are just curious to experience life.

"Playing" for a while, tired and scared, so I ran away.

It can be said that there is no one like Anhill who has been promoted to five stars at a young age and is close to the upper level.

In order to avoid being discovered by Lan Long, the airship did not dare to rise too high after taking off.

It wasn't until the main peak of the Lingfeng Mountain Range, which towered into the sky like a pillar of heaven, disappeared beyond the horizon that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gordon, pork chop, tell me as much detail as you can about what you have seen and experienced in the ruins.

The pork chop has been briefly said before, but it is too vague, and you haven't come back at that time, and it is very uneasy.

Don't worry about talking 'nonsense', what you feel, what you think, what you feel physically, even if it's a mental and spiritual hallucination.

Don't ignore every detail. ”

The professor had pen and paper ready and was going to write down exactly what they said.

Gordon was a little confused, he was too tired, but he thought that it would take time to summarize and organize information, and if he fell asleep now, the transmission of information would take at least a whole day at night, so he had to cheer up.

"Hayata, help me ask the airship crew if they have a vitality drink."

Madeata glanced at Gordon worriedly, but also knew the importance of the matter at the moment, nodded his chin and went to the crew.

"Where to start, well, I think about it, when Pork Chop and I tried to dodge the attack and escaped, and finally came to the vicinity of the ruins.

Lan Long visibly hesitated for a moment, then began to breathe, clearly not wanting to get too close to the ruins.

Because the only rift we found before was at the top of the ruins, which was really difficult to climb, I thought about using Lan Long's attack to destroy the outer wall of the ruins and enter."

Gordon started by using flashbangs to interfere with Lan Long's vision and lure him into breaking through the outer walls of the ruins.

The professor interrupted from time to time, not even letting go of the idea of using the incendiary agent in the incendiary bomb to make torches.

"Meow——, does this have something to do with the rest of the story?" The pork chop, who was also sleepy, yawned and asked.

The professor pushed his glasses and looked very serious, "Yes, you may not realize how evil that 'taboo' existence is.

Even its relics can drive people crazy, and there is even a view among some scholars that ominous relics will lure people to discover them.

I want to make sure that your idea of making torches and starting to explore was entirely of your own volition, or if you were 'guided' in some way. ”

Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other, and they both felt furious.

"So, I do seem to be a little hyperactive in the ruins?"

Gordon hesitated, "I'm not sure if this is a sign of mental relaxation after temporarily getting rid of Lanlong, or the effect of the Dinosaurus armor.

Or maybe the influence of 'that thing' might have both? ”

"Excited? I made a note of it. The professor quickly wrote a few lines.

Apparently not just the extent of "written down", but a lot of notes added.

"And Gordon seemed to be particularly determined to find that thing at the time, if it was usual, I think Gordon would be more cautious." Pork chops are added aside.

"Uh, isn't that a little suspicious?"

"No, no, that's the key to what the pork chop said." The professor stared into Gordon's eyes, "You think about why you had the idea of 'finding something' at the time. ”

"Gordon senior, vitality drink" At this time, Hayatta walked over and handed Gordon a bottle of potion.

"Thank you." Gordon smiled at her, and after pouring most of the bottle in one go, he gave the rest to the pork chops.

"Whew——, sober, I think about it, at first I wanted to find another exit from the ruins, and then after the pork chop mentioned 'sight', I thought it might be the key for us to get rid of Lanlong."

"Why? Why do you think that thing can help you get rid of Arashi? You didn't even know what it was at the time, or even existed for it. The professor asked.

Gordon felt that the professor was a little stunned, but he still patiently replied, "I just think that what makes Lan Long jealous may be able to scare Lan Long away." ”

"Then why did you change your mind in the end, the pork chop told me before that it proposed to take away that eyeball and deter Lan Long, but you thought it would further anger Lan Long and vetoed this proposal."

Gordon opened his mouth.

yes, why did his mind change 180 degrees?

Gordon struggled to recall, "I insisted on facing the skull again, and after facing that eyeball, there was no more fear in my heart.

Then I felt that Arashilong should not be more timid than me, so I changed my mind, and it should be like this. ”

"The anomaly isn't after you see the head, it's before."

Speaking of this, the professor paused, "Let me change the direction and ask, do you think that thing is scary?" Say what you thought when you first saw it. ”

"Of course it's terrifying, the worst I've ever imagined would be to encounter some kind of ancient monster, but the ancient monsters I imagined were only larger, with sharp teeth and claws, huge attack power, and amazing momentum.

And the head.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't have imagined a dead thing that could almost drive us crazy."

Speaking of this, Gordon was suddenly stunned.

His original idea was to find something that Lan Long was afraid of and use that thing to scare Lan Long away.

After seeing the head that was far more terrifying than what he imagined, he was shocked that Lan Long would not be afraid of "a head".

So how did you come up with such a ridiculous idea in the first place? Why would you think that some kind of 'dead thing' could scare back an ancient dragon that could easily trigger a natural disaster?

"Me"

The professor looked at the speechless Gordon and sighed, "In my opinion, after entering the ruins, your thinking has indeed been affected.

The effect lasts until the moment you reconfront your skull and pupils and break through your fears.

I have to say, Gordon, you're very brave, and most people are probably crazy when they first see it.

Even if you don't go crazy, you won't have the courage to face it again and break through your fears.

But if you didn't do it at the time, you might have made more choices that seemed normal but were actually inexplicable. ”

"It seems normal, but it's actually an inexplicable choice," Gordon muttered as he repeated the professor's words.

In the ruins, there have been a few changes in my thinking, "it seems that there is no problem".

The first - find the thing, and scare the dragon away.

Later - ignore the physical warning, it's too embarrassing to be scared away without seeing that thing.

And finally, now that I retreat, that unclear sense of sight will become a nightmare for a lifetime.

But no matter how the idea changes, there is only one core goal.

- Keep moving forward and see 'it'.
