Chapter 1005: Underground Sour Springs
The same speculation naturally came to the hunters' minds.
After all, they came to confirm the suspicion.
"Xianglan, what do you think?" Gordon took the stripping knife and flicked the crimson hairs.
The hunters around the stump all looked at Xianglan and startled her.
"For, why do you ask Puppet Meow?!"
"But, though." Anhill pondered his words, "You're the only one of us who has ever faced the Flame King Dragon directly. ”
Gail and Kin, who have a clear understanding of the concept of "ancient dragon", cast a ghostly look at Xianglan together.
That's it?
Xianglan reacted for a few seconds before she came back to her senses, "That meow is also a meow?" ”
Two years ago, in the depths of Lateau Volcano, when they induced the Tyrannosaurus to return to its lair with pork chops, bones, and fire sickles, they did witness the figure of the Flame Concubine and the Flame King Rex.
The so-called direct face is nothing more than hiding in a hole a few hundred meters away, sneaking a peek at the battle of the three-headed ancient dragon-level creatures, while praying that he will not be blown away by the aftermath of the battle.
Gordon shrugged, "At least you did." ”
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, leaned over to the stump, and observed.
"The color of this fur is indeed similar to what I remember." Xianglan said and sniffed carefully twice.
In addition to the pervasive rancid stench all around, it also smelled a faint smell of sulfur.
After a moment's thought, it popped its claws and slashed hard at the remnants of the dark red leather.
On the tough and rough sandpaper-like leather surface, there are a few sparks jumping out.
It raised its head, "I occasionally think it's indeed the tail meow of the Yanwang Dragon, although the scale powder that can explode has fallen off, but this skin still has the ability to ignite the meow." ”
"There is indeed some truth to this verification method." Anhill nodded and whispered.
At least it's more convincing than just opening your mouth from memory.
Gordon carefully examined the flesh and hair on the stump, "There are a lot of bite marks on the broken bones, and the rot time is at least a month, but the upper limit is not easy to judge, a few months."
It's in line with the time when the Yanwang Dragon flew over the Grand Canyon, and nine times out of ten it is it. ”
With that, Gordon cut a small piece of tissue and tentatively placed it in the insect guide cage on his belt.
These little creatures can even trace the dirt left behind by footprints and the scales that have fallen, so they may be able to help them find the location of the corpse of the Flame King Dragon.
After the flesh and skin tissue fell into the worm cage, the shiny worms stopped and fell silent for a while, but there was no reaction.
This is the first time hunters have seen such a situation.
"What's going on?" The quick-mouthed Gail opened his mouth and asked.
Ah Jian pinched his chin and said, "It should be too far away, the smell environment of the Miasma Valley is relatively disturbing, and the detection range of the guide worm is also limited." ”
Gordon stood up, grabbed the stump, and threw it on the back of the gale.
"It's okay, we'll continue to move forward as originally planned, and when we get close enough, the guide worm will naturally react."
"That's right."
Anhill rubbed Gale's head and stuffed a piece of jerky into its large mouth as a reward, "I've finally found some clues." ”
The hunters moved quickly, and their target was still the core of the Miasma Valley.
With the stump and the presence of the guide worm, it would be much easier to find the corpse of the Flame King Rex, or rather, "confirm whether the Flame King Rex has become a corpse".
The group continued along the "fast track", and on the way, they saw a trident-like tailbone that stood as tall as a mountain peak.
It likewise belongs to the Basio-King Rex.
It is unknown whether this completely stony coccyx and the previous skull belong to the same head as the snake king rex.
According to scholar Ah Jian, the number of snake king dragon skeletons in the Valley of Miasma is at least four
On the way, the hunters encountered another "attack" by the bone hammer dragon.
In fact, after gradually getting used to it, these big guys rolling around are not difficult to hide, but they must be vigilant at all times.
"What are these?" Anhill asked with a frown.
The road ahead was broken, replaced by a large dark yellow web between the rocks.
Covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, this huge mesh looks a little like a vine, but has an elastic and sticky feel that is different from that of a vine.
Ah Jian shrugged, "The combination of mycelium, vines, and other things, I can't tell, but a large monster like the Bone Hammer Dragon can sometimes sink when it passes by, which is quite interesting."
From here, we leave the upper area and go down to the bottom. ”
"How do you go down?"
"Follow me."
The hunters cautiously stepped on the giant net and followed Ah Jian to the center of the giant net.
There was a hole in it, and a few dull yellow fibers, indistinguishable from the surrounding nets, hung down like ropes to the bottom.
"This thing is also natural?" Gordon couldn't help asking.
"Of course not, it's the rope we hung on."
Ah Jian said with a smile: "These fibers are like creepers, growing down the rope, and when the rope is corroded by the miasma, these fibers are still there." ”
"I see."
The hunters checked the filter masks and goggles, then slid down the fibers and made it back to the bottom.
The concentration of miasma here was significantly higher than the area that had been attacked by the Phalanopterosaur and the Great Paralytic Raptor, and there was a slight burning sensation on the skin as the dense fog version interfered with the vision.
Full-spirited with half of his skin exposed, Gel is numb, literally.
"We accelerate." Ah Kin's voice was a little distorted through the mask, "Quickly pass through this section and go to the bottom of the ground, and the miasma will dissipate." ”
The hunters couldn't help but quicken their pace.
During this time, they were attacked by the paralytic raptors roaming nearby.
But this time, they didn't bother with these annoying guys any longer, and after Gordon kicked the rushing paralyzed thief dragon away, the group quickly left.
After all, it didn't cause any more trouble.
Almost running into the sloping crypt passage, the hunter and his party came to the underground cave below the valley floor.
The moment they burst out of the dark crypt passage, they only felt that their vision was clear.
The annoying thick miasma is gone, and the environment is much more than that.
Whether in the upper part of the Miasma Valley or at the bottom of the valley, gray and dull yellow are always the dominant colors.
Even in areas where there is no miasma, all kinds of mycelium and fungus blankets will stain everything around them with an unpleasant yellow.
And here it is different.
A soft indigo shimmer enveloped everything around them, coming from the shimmering moss on the cave walls and the clear pools of water that spread all around.
Everything around was tranquil and beautiful, but the hunters instinctively sensed danger.
There is definitely something wrong with these ponds, and the normal spring water does not glow
Gail, who was about to take off the filter mask, stopped and asked confirmatively, "You can't take off the mask in this place, right?" ”
"Ahh
Ah Jian hurriedly said: "There is no miasma distribution in this place, not because the miasma can't penetrate in, but because the environment here is too bad, and even the microorganisms in the miasma can't survive here."
Don't approach those ponds, they look like clear water, but they are actually strong acids.
The air is also filled with transparent acidic gases that burn mucous membranes and respiratory tract. ”
Gail grinded his teeth.
The exposed skin of her abdomen and thighs was already a sickly redden, although as a hunter, her skin did not match the "delicate".
But this is again a miasma, and it is an acid mist
"Xianglan, hurry up and give us some powder!"
Xianglan rolled her eyes and took out the dust of life and threw it at her.
