Chapter 622: Distant Claw Marks

Walking among the undulating hills and ravines of the Relics, Gordon's scalp was a little numb.

During this time in the Dragon Calendar Temple, I have done a lot of tasks to investigate various ruins, or to protect the archaeological team to excavate the ruins, and I have been to many hunting grounds where there are ruins.

Latio Volcano, Ancient Ruins, Ruins Plains, Underground Caves

But this side has the highest density of ruins.

Even in the plain of ruins, which is named after "ruins", various ruins can only be seen everywhere and dotted on the plains.

The relics of the ridge can basically be regarded as a whole, a group of super giant ruins, which may be an ancient city or some facilities or something, after being covered by the dust and grass of time.

You stand anywhere, dig a few meters down, and you always see bricks.

This greatly increases the difficulty of the investigation.

All the hunters on the dragon knowledge ship were dispatched, plus the archaeologists who were traveling with them were less than thirty people in total, and the area with a radius of nearly 100 square kilometers had to be explored.

"Don't worry too much."

Ms. Duda, who traveled with Gordon and Anhill, was not the kind of nerdy scholar who did not understand the world, and she saw Gordon's concerns.

"The Remnant Ridge is too big, of course we can't pull the net to investigate it all."

Along the way up the hill and down the valley, Lady Duda was much more agile than the hunters had imagined, and as she nimbly climbed over a remnant wall, she explained:

"In fact, in the era before the Dragon Calendar Academy became independent from the scrivener corps, archaeological surveys of the relics had already been carried out several times.

It's just that the altitude of the Remnant Ridge is too high, and even if you don't consider climbing the peak, it is very difficult to send people up.

In addition, this site is not valuable enough, it is difficult to excavate any meaningful relics or technology, and there is a lack of interest and sponsorship, so it will gradually be discontinued. ”

This statement reminded Gordon of the ruins of the ancient sage.

"What counts as valuable?" Anhill, who was in charge of guarding the rear, asked casually.

"It's hard to say, it's a rather vague concept, you know the so-called 'Ancient Era', when the level of development of human civilization was far beyond the current level, and there were too many technologies that modern people couldn't understand at all, well, like the epitaph sword behind you Gordon.

There are not many relics of the ancient era with significant excavation significance, the scattered ruins of Lateau Volcano are counted as one, the Heavenly Corridor of the Sea of Trees is counted as one, the Sky Mountain is counted as one, and the pyramid period of the water submerged forest is relatively late, barely counted, by the way, and the one that Lingfeng has just discovered in the past two years is also.

The archaeological value of these ancient ruins is very high, such as the inexhaustible talisman of Latio Volcano, the alchemy and aviation technology extracted from the ruins of Sky Mountain, and the records of the history of dragon creatures in the Corridor of Heaven, etc.

Of course, it is not absolute, for example, the biggest gain of the pyramid of the water submersible forest is only the murals and stone carvings, which are more 'artistic'. ”

Ms. Duda came to a high point, pulled out her binoculars and looked into the distance, and then continued:

"As for the so-called 'worthless' relics, some of them are not old enough, only hundreds to thousands of years old, and the civilization that created these relics is of the same origin as us, and the technology is also in the same line, and there are not many that can be extracted in reverse, such as the ancient ruins.

There are also some that are also from the ancient era, but they may be residential areas or the like, such as the Relics Ridge where we are currently located, and there is not much value to be found except for the architectural remains themselves.

According to the sponsors - just a bunch of useless broken bricks.

We archaeologists are interested in relics as long as they are relics, but it is difficult to carry out large-scale archaeological activities without funding. ”

Gordon shrugged, if he was a sponsor, he wouldn't be too happy to pay for the old bricks under his feet.

Ms. Duda, who had confirmed the location, put away her binoculars and said with a smile: "However, among these so-called 'worthless' relics, there are often some interesting things due to incomplete investigations. ”

"Like the Praying Mantis's Bazaar?"

Anhill chuckled and answered, in exchange for a roll of the eyes of Miss Duda.

"All in all, the excavations weren't very valuable, well, at least in the eyes of the sponsors, but archaeologists at the time also marked some of the more important sites.

Our mission is to investigate those key locations, and you two are high-ranking hunters, so our group is assigned to the more dangerous areas. ”

"How dangerous will it be?" Anhill asked.

"Not sure." Ms. Duda replied, "There are a lot of peach fur beasts in this area, but it is said that there were also dinosaurs. ”

"That's really going to have to cheer up."

"Wait a minute."

Gordon, who was walking in front of him, suddenly raised his hand, Duda immediately stopped, and Anhill also deployed his heavy crossbow to guard the guard.

Gordon came to a masonry pillar with a large claw mark on it.

Roughly measuring the size and depth of the claw marks with the palm of his hand, and then glancing at his surroundings, Gordon's expression became strange.

Anhill escorted Duda to his side, glancing at the claw marks and frowning.

"What's wrong? What kind of monster scratch is this? Duda asked in a low voice, a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Anhill whispered to Gordon, "It's not like the Wyvern species, the Wyvern species shouldn't leave scratches in such a high position?" ”

"Well, the dragon sometimes gets up in the air and scratches its claws, but that's not the shape of the dragon's claw marks."

"Beast dragon species? Ivory beast species? ”

"I also thought of the Dinosaurus and the Peach-haired Beastmaster, the Dinosaurus could catch it when it jumped, but it was estimated that it would be kicked off with the pillar, and the claw marks of the Peach-haired Beastmaster would not be so deep.

Don't you think, it's more like, um, the tooth dragon species? ”

"You mean the Thunderwolf Dragon?" Anhill looked even more surprised, "Can the Thunderwolf Dragon get here?" ”

"That's why I think it's weird, but don't you think the claw marks are similar in shape?"

"Indeed."

Anhill pinched his chin, during the previous time in Jieyun Village, they had hunted a lot of thunderwolf dragons, and they were still very familiar with the shape of the thunderwolf dragon's claw marks.

Pork Chop sniffed around, "There is a smell of urine, and the smell is also very similar to a meow, it may really be a thunderwolf dragon meow, it may be a marked meow for its territory." ”

Gordon stared at the claw marks and muttered to himself, "The guild said that the Thunderwolf Dragon Group was spreading everywhere, but I didn't expect it to spread so far."

Can that thing cross the sea?

In a few years, I am afraid that even the New World will be able to see their footprints? ”

Anhill thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there have been people who have migrated away from their original places of residence a long time ago, isn't there already a place near Yanhuo Village?"

It's just that the number is very small, and they went to the deep mountains and old forests, so no one found out, and after the chaos of Lingfeng, the ethnic group really spread. ”

"Yes."

Noticing that Ms. Duda couldn't hide her nervousness, Gordon smiled and comforted, "It's okay, it may be a five-star dangerous monster, even if it happens, it won't be difficult for the two of us to deal with it."

Just in case, Ms. Duda, you better ride on the back of the gale, the monster is fast, but the tooth hound will keep you safe. ”

"Okay."

Lady Duda cautiously climbed onto Gale's back, and Gale turned around and licked her, and although her saliva was a little nauseous, the tension in her heart also dissipated a lot.

"Pork chop gale, pay attention to distinguish the smell, Anhill is vigilant in the rear and in the air, we will complete the investigation as soon as possible."
