Chapter 1004: The Stump
"Quick! Run! Meow! It's meowing again!! Pandan jumped to her feet
Gale also roared loudly.
Less than two minutes ago, the hunters, who had just escaped an "attack" and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly took action again.
The man-made road-like flat mountain path was impossible to stay on, and with the help of projector ropes, they quickly climbed the rock platforms on both sides of the road.
Ah Kin's movements were not slow at all, and even because he was lightly armed and did not have heavy armor and weapons to drag him down, he climbed to the safety of the rock wall faster than the hunters.
The earth trembled slightly, and with a "boom" sound, a roller that seemed to be made entirely of bones sped over the mountain path they had walked before.
Look at those sharp bone spines and bone spurs, if they are crushed, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as turning into a cake.
"Rumble ——!"
The only thing to be thankful for was that the giant beast covered in bones was not coming for them, it was really just passing by.
Instead of returning to the trail immediately, the apprehensive hunters stayed on the rock platform for a few more minutes to make sure that the skull hammer had really rolled away, and then carefully jumped back to the ground.
"Mom, it's not the same skull hammer dragon, why do we think the one that passed by the second time was bigger?" Gail looked in the direction of the Bone Hammer Dragon's departure and patted his chest.
"The second end is indeed bigger."
Hayatta couldn't help but ask Ah Jian, who was holding a small notebook and recording something, "Mr. Ah Jian, are there so many bone hammer dragons here?" ”
One end at a time, one end at a time?
If it's really been like this, then it's better to go back to the bottom and walk through the miasma!
"Well, cough doesn't come down, maybe we are very lucky, not long after we came up, we met two ends in a row.
The bone hammer dragon is solitary, and this behavior of chasing and running is most likely for courtship. Ah Jian closed the notebook and explained with a dry smile.
"It's not quite right to chase girls like this, isn't this stupid?" Gail muttered.
"Well, with the individual differences between male and female Bone Hammer Dragons, the probability of chasing behind the larger female is relatively high."
"Tut-tut, long insight."
"If you're traveling from the upper floors, how long will it take to reach the core?" Gordon unfolded the map and asked Kin.
Ah Kin leaned over and pointed on the map, "From here, follow the 'expressway' to the south, we will make a huge arc circle, and then we will pass a bone mound.
Be careful there, as this is the bonehammer's favorite feeding spot, and continue walking a little further through the mound.
Then we can prepare to go back to the bottom, which is already very close to the core.
For the whole trip, it's about three or four hours. ”
"Is it possible to bypass the bone mound?" Anhill walked over and asked.
He had just seen the power of the Bone Wheel a few minutes ago, and he didn't really want to "deal" with a big fat man with rough skin and thick flesh like the Bone Hammer Dragon.
The bones that stick to the body are like armor, which can greatly reduce the power of the ballista, coupled with the strong vitality of the beast dragon species.
Thankless, wasted ammunition.
"You can't get around it, you can understand this road as a 'fast track' specially built by the bone hammer dragons in order to get to the canteen quickly."
Pointing to the curved road on the map, which seemed to be drawn with a compass, Ah Jian continued, "The main advantage of operating on the upper floor is that this road is easy to walk.
If there is no road, let alone a road, many places will not be able to pass at all, so it is better to go back to the bottom of the valley to drill the miasma.
But don't worry too much, the Bone Hammer Dragon is still relatively docile.
Even if you encounter them in the bone mound, don't do anything to stimulate them, such as touching your ass too closely, yelling or something, they generally won't take the initiative to attack. ”
"It's kind of like a Hammerblaster." Gordon smiled.
One specializes in eating ores, and the other specializes in eating bones, but it stands out from the world.
"Pandan, sandstone, lean forward fifty meters, gale fifty meters behind the team, pay attention to the vibration and rolling sound, and immediately warn if there is a situation.
Let's go in a tight formation and move fast. ”
Gordon stepped on the ground made of mycelium, vines, dirt, and bone hammer keel oil, and then repeatedly crushed to level the ground with a hint of subtle elasticity.
"It's a comfortable walk, but we don't want to stay here any longer." ”
"Understandable."
The group quickly adjusted their formation and accelerated their actions.
After that, they encountered two more "attacks" by the skeleton wheels, but fortunately, there were early warnings from their hunting partners, but there was no danger.
A few hours later, they came to the bone mound in Ah Kin's mouth.
Ah Jian pointed upward, and the hunters looked up, and the next second, they all froze in shock.
The dome above is not made up by rock, but by an unimaginably large skull upper jaw.
Judging by the size of the skull, even the largest monster they had ever encountered, the Lingshan Dragon, was far from comparable to the owner of this skull.
A small amount of rainwater from the terrestrial coral mesa falls on the skull, then drip down the remaining fangs on the skull, collecting a jet-black pond on the ground.
It's dirty, but it's probably the only source of water for the creatures in the neighborhood.
"This is the skeleton of the Basio-King Rex." "The mainstream view is that they are the source of the formation of the Miasma Valley and the entire New World ecosystem. ”
"It turns out that there really are such creatures in the world." It took a while for Gordon to come to his senses and muttered.
All around, countless bones were mixed together, whether they were whole, broken, fresh, or rotten and yellow, and it was difficult to walk in them.
Some bones still had carrion and fascia remaining, and some huge beetles with shiny carapaces and sharp limbs crawled between the bones, scraping at the carrion.
The pungent rancid stench that permeated the air was unbearable, and the hunters wore filtering masks.
"Good luck~, there's no bone hammer dragon here." Ah Jian smiled and said, "This is a treasure land, if you are lucky, you can dig up very high-quality bone materials."
And so do the giant beetles, whose feathers are thin and tough, and a lot of equipment is useful. ”
Gordon thought for a while, smiled and said to his companions: "It's not a matter of coming to the treasure land empty-handed, I'm here to warn, everyone scatters to look for it, maybe you can pick up something good." ”
Anhill looked around, "I'm not interested in bone materials, two passages, one of us is on guard, it's best not to be too long." ”
"A quarter of an hour, we'll leave in a quarter of an hour." Gordon addressed everyone.
The hunters scattered.
Gale rubbed his hands together and pulled the sandstone to crouch on the ground, rummaging left and right, Hayatta had little interest in the bones, her attention was on the beetles.
To create the armor of the Fierce Clawed Dragon, you may be able to use those insect feathers.
Pandan is very entangled, it likes to hunt for treasures, but it hates smelly and dirty things, and Gale doesn't care much about this, running between the bones.
Of course, Gale didn't have a mouth, and Gale didn't look down on these rotten bones when he was raised by Anhill.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Gordon shouted to remind everyone that the time was up.
Hayatta smiled with satisfaction, looking at the insect corpses in that place, she should have collected good materials.
Gail Xianglan is full of regrets, there are a lot of high-quality bone materials, but the value is not enough for them to take them all the way over the mountains and mountains, and travel with them.
Sandstone is perhaps the most rewarding one, and the main components of its guardian shield are all kinds of animal bones.
Bones of any size and shape can be found here, and it has collected a lot, and when it returns to camp, it will raise its beloved shield.
Ah Kin Ah Kin dozed off.
The group gathered together and were about to leave, but suddenly found that Gale had not yet returned.
Anhill frowned and whistled.
"Wang! Barking! "The roar of the gale could be heard in the distant pile of bones.
Anyone could hear the excitement in the roar.
The crowd gathered around and found Gale trying to pull something out of the pile of bones.
It was a coccyx with a little cortex, the cortex was broken but still tough, and it was difficult to tear it open with the bite force of the gale, and a few tufts of red tail hair remained at the end.
