Gordon fought and retreated, taking advantage of the thirty or forty meters distance between him and his pursuers, and accelerated around the corner in front of him.

In the middle of the road ahead, a human-tall, writhing cat-shaped mechanism crashed into his sight, a defiant figure of sandstone.

Gordon immediately realized that this was where the trap was located, and when he looked up, the huge stalactite directly above the provocative doll was very eye-catching.

He couldn't help but snort.

If it is smashed this time, I am afraid that the corpse will score two points when walking in the future, and focus on the top of the head.

Accelerating with all his might and taking a few quick steps forward, Gordon swooped sideways, dodging behind a rock that barely allowed him to hide.

“giyuaaa！”

The corpse dragon screamed and rushed out of the corner of the cave, but because of the lack of physical strength, he almost couldn't stop his feet and hit his head on the rock wall.

It was furious, and as the lord of the Miasma Valley, it had never felt so aggrieved since it was conscious.

At this moment, a writhing provocative puppet appeared in its sight.

Anger is fueled by reason, and it doesn't have the heart to carefully distinguish between a provocative puppet and a hunter.

After all, it was true that every time the hunter ran for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned around to stop in the middle of the road, and fought it for a while

For various reasons, it subconsciously thinks that this is the damn hunter!

“giaaa！”

Regardless of the ground, the corpse set dragon waved its dragon claw and slapped it down.

At the same time, it does not forget to spare a little energy, and is always ready to jump back, and it is impressed by the hunter's ability to defend against counterattacks.

However, what it didn't expect was that this claw actually slapped down, and the hateful "hunter" was flattened to the ground by it.

This result stunned it for a moment, but as it withdrew its claws, the "Hunter" bounced up again and continued to writhe.

He's still teasing himself!!

The corpse dragon's only remaining rationality burned out in an instant, and it roared angrily to knock down the provocative puppet, tearing and biting wildly, looking like it would never stop until the "hunter" was completely torn to pieces.

Several muffled ballista fires rang out, and several piercing grenades shot straight at the crumbling stalactites above the head of the corpse dragon.

But the corpse dragon that frantically tore at the provocative puppet didn't notice, which also deprived it of its last chance to escape the trap.

Armor-piercing grenades were detonated one after another, and the deafening explosion finally caught its attention, but it was too late.

The stalactite, which was already full of cracks, completely broke apart in the continuous explosion, and collapsed along with the large rock layer that had been blown loose next to it.

The corpse dragon, which was slow to react and move, was about to jump back to avoid it, but it was smashed to the ground by a giant stalactite, and the rock fragments that followed it almost buried it.

Anhill and Gale quickly swapped ammunition and prepared to launch a new round of firepower.

Gordon, who rushed out from behind the rock where he was hiding, waved at them, "Go!" It couldn't stand up for a while, so it took the opportunity to retreat! ”

At the moment, it seemed that they had completely suppressed the corpse dragon, but once the latter found a chance to get up and use a wide range of miasma attacks.

He is naturally fine with the talisman stone, but the consequences of other people infected with the corpse set dragon miasma are unimaginable.

He was too impressed by the paralyzed raptors who roamed among the corpses, covered in rotten scales, blinded and white, and half-dead like living corpses.

There's really no need to take that risk.

Anhill and Hayatta, who received the order, immediately put away their weapons, and Gail hesitated for half a second, then lowered the muzzle of the cannon and put away the light crossbow.

The corpse dragon struggled, as if the howl from hell was endless.

The hunters and their party withdrew at full speed.

The group used the rope to return to the Coral Terrace, and the sun was already showing its head on the horizon.

They were active in the Valley of Miasma for almost a full day and night, much shorter than the three days had been planned.

However, the trip was smooth enough, and the death of Yanwanglong was confirmed, and a lot of clues were found.

The most important thing is that the corpse set dragon who completely angered the Lord of Miasma Valley, and it is really a bit unclear whether he is alive or dead to continue to venture to stay at the bottom of the valley.

Gordon tossed the miasma talisman to his companions, each wearing it for a few minutes.

This quickly inactivates microorganisms attached to their armor and body surfaces to prevent infection.

Although a good bath can have the same effect, but at the moment, after all, you are in the wild, and it is still unrealistic to take turns to take a bath or something.

After finding a safe and secluded reef cave and resting for half a day, the hunters set out on their way back to the research base.

On the way back, everyone's mentality was relatively relaxed.

When you encounter an attractive-looking pterodactyl or something, you will also fight two to roast and fill your stomach, but unfortunately the pork chop that is good at cooking is not there, and the taste of the barbecue is always a little worse.

Gail was already learning how to cook with Sandstone

As for why Xianglan didn't learn it, in fact, pork chop taught it, but unfortunately talent is a little uncertain.

Not to mention Gordon and Hayata, who are good at barbecue, even Anhil, who almost never cooks, makes it better than it.

A few days later, when the hunters, who missed the cooking of pork chops, returned to the research base, they even brought back some fresh raw meat.

Unfortunately, the pork chop has not returned, which is quite disappointing to Gordon and others.

Gordon even felt the urge to set off immediately to pick up the pork chops.

But that's just an impulse, it's a good thing that pork chops have the opportunity to "study", and they have more important things to do.

For example, debriefing

In the large library, hunters and scholars gathered.

"Can you already confirm that the Yanwang Dragon died in the Valley of Miasma?" The slender pipe swirled around the fingertips of the head of the third phase, but it was not lit.

"Well, the remains confirmed." Gordon picked up the stump they had brought back.

"I found huge claw marks on its skull, and the wound showed signs of healing, so it didn't die on the spot, it should have been seriously injured by some creature and went to the Valley of Miasma on its own initiative.

As for why the seriously injured and dying ancient dragon species who went there took the initiative to enter the Valley of Miasma to welcome death? Or is it to escape from the pursuit and escape into the valley of miasma? ”

"The former guess is more reliable, the latter is basically impossible, the environment of the Miasma Valley is not suitable for the survival of the Yanwang Dragon, let alone for it to recuperate.

Even if it was to escape the pursuit, it would not be possible for it to come to the Valley of Miasma, and it would be almost the same as going to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland. The head of the third phase waved his hand.

"Let . Old body, look at that? A very old dragon scholar who spoke a little trembling asked, pointing to the stump in Gordon's hand.

"Of course." Gordon leaned over and handed the stump over.

The old lady of the dragon-man clan held a magnifying glass, and looked at the stump with a trembling look, especially after the skeletal section and the tufted hair, she said:

"This should be, an old Yanwang Dragon, very. Old age, as can be seen from the color of the hair, the bone quality. ”

"This is Professor Sonari, who has served in the Ancient Dragon Observatory for many years, and has a deep understanding of Yanwanglong. Well, I've written a lot of papers that you haven't read. The head of the third phase of the regiment briefly introduced.

Gordon: "Hmm. ”

The brother and sister, the leader of the research class and the head of the third regiment, speak in exactly the same way.

"Very old Yanwang Dragon." Anhill repeated the judgment of the old scholars and guessed:

"It's about to come to an end, but I'm not willing to die like this, so I went to the north of the mainland to find a strong enemy to fight, and after being seriously injured and defeated, I took the initiative to walk into the cemetery and die?"

The leader of the third phase of the regiment tapped his chin, lit his pipe with flint, took a breath, and sighed slowly: "As far as the clues we have so far are concerned, it is difficult to make other guesses. ”

"But what about Yan Feilong?" Hayatta asked with some curiosity, "Aren't the Yan King Dragons and the Yan Concubine Dragons generally appearing in pairs?" ”

"Let's hang up first."

Gail shrugged, "The old widower who died of his wife ran to find a strong man to fight in the ring, just to speed up his death, and go to the other side to see his wife early, well, isn't it more romantic to think so?" ”

“？”
