After a little more than half a day on the road on the Pterodactyl, the hunters of the Special Investigation Team arrived at the survey team camp located in the northern part of the Great Ant Grave Wasteland.

When there were only about a dozen people before, the survey team lived in the camp in a crowded manner, after all, that was the safest.

However, as the number of investigators who came to support the camp increased, some set up tents in sheltered areas of the small canyon where the camp was located, while others moved to other camps further afield.

At present, the small canyon is actually a little lively, and even a temporary dragon shed has been set up for the pterosaurs to rest.

Landing in the small canyon, Gordon looked around, and once again he felt deeply that the New World Survey Team was no longer the small and medium-sized team that it had been short-staffed.

The high-ranking hunters who came with him on this trip were not "Qi".

The alcohol team was tasked with dealing with an invasion of the Ancient Tree Forest by a Scaly Dragon, whose presence had severely affected the Mission's efforts to gather supplies for war, and the Mission's decision to defeat it.

Over the past few years, the alcohol squad has hunted multiple Scaly Dragons, and it seems that they have become experts in dealing with Scaly Dragons.

The armor of the Scaly Dragon series has become the "standard" equipment of their squad, which also matches their rough style.

Azi is also busy, not for fishing this time.

Since the Molten Dragons landed in the New World, the coastline on the southern side of the New World has become increasingly chaotic.

The multi-headed sea dragon monsters infested the coastal area and even built nests, and he was leading several young hunters who were good at water warfare to step up the cleanup.

Therefore, the hunters of the special investigation team who rushed to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland were only the three of them with Silverside, plus Evelyn and his wife.

"Let's go see Feng Ying first, as well as the three uncles (sunny, happy, and cheerful), and confirm the progress of the investigation." After giving the sour pterosaur a gesture to feed on its own, Gordon said to his companions.

Naturally, the others had no objections, and the five came to the camp in the canyon.

In a large tent outside the camp, they met the three inseparable dragon-man scholars.

The three masters were lying on a huge map, summarizing the information reported by each team.

The map is densely packed with circles, arrows, and notes, making people dizzy to look at.

Gordon and the others said hello.

The old man of the dragon clan wrapped in a turban jumped up and said in a sharp voice: "You guys are here too, come here, we just have some new discoveries!" ”

Saying that, the three masters, you and I are comparing them on the map.

Roughly speaking, Feng Ying and the others found a large piece of volcanic rock before, and with that volcanic stone as the center of the circle, the investigators launched a dragnet investigation.

One after another, the investigators found a lot of scattered volcanic debris, and after connecting these sites together, they came to a broken line, which was probably the route of the Molten Mountain Dragon.

Anhill glanced at the map, "Isn't it easy to confirm the whereabouts of the molten mountain dragon?" ”

"Theoretically, that's so." The Dragonman scholar with a strange dust mask sighed, "But I don't know why, we sent people to search repeatedly on the predicted route, but we couldn't find the big guy."

It's very likely that it has gone underground, and it's unbelievable that a monster of that size can still burrow into the ground. ”

Sophia, who was the compiler of Hayatta this time, lifted her glasses and said, "Such a magnificent Da. Creatures burrow into the ground and leave no visible traces? ”

It was a super giant ancient dragon with a head and body length of more than 250 meters and a height of nearly 150 meters.

The Fengshan dragon lay beside it, like a fathead fish.

"Of course there are traces, just. The northern part of the Great Ant Grave Wasteland is a typical karst landform, and there are a large number of underground caves of astonishing scale, and because of this, ground subsidence and ground fissures occur frequently.

It can be said that there are craters and rifts everywhere, and we can only investigate them one by one, so the progress is slow. ”

"I see." Gordon groaned, but the doubts in his heart grew.

He couldn't help but think of that word again—the veins of the earth.

Or rather, the leyline corridor.

Could it be that the molten mountain dragon moved through the leyline corridor, so it has never been discovered? But the leyline corridor is very deep underground, and even if the molten mountain dragon can drill into it, it shouldn't be able to drill in and out frequently.

After thinking for a moment, Gordon, who couldn't get an answer, simply stopped dwelling, "Please assign us a task, the sooner we find the Molten Mountain Dragon, the sooner the targeted reconnaissance can begin." ”

Just then, someone opened the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Subconsciously turned around and saw the person coming, Gordon couldn't help but be surprised, "Mr. Mecca?!" ”

The last time I saw him, it was when I was in the New World, and the dragon hunter never returned to the stars since.

"It's Gordon." The dragon hunter said hello, "I've heard about the ancient dragonmen, so it's no wonder the commander-in-chief sent so many elites over. ”

Out of caution, Anhir asked confirmatively, "Mr. Mecca, do you think that the 'veins of the earth' mentioned by the ancient dragons refer to the leyline corridor?" ”

"There is no doubt about it." Mecca nodded, "The veins of the earth, the corridor of the leylines, and the river of life all refer to the same thing. ”

"If the molten mountain dragon dies in the depths of the leyline corridor, the burst of energy will destroy the entire New World, do you believe that?" Hayatta couldn't help but ask.

Mecca pondered for a moment, "I can only say that there is such a possibility, not that the power of the Molten Mountain Dragon itself is enough to destroy the New World, it is more like a lead, or rather, a weight that destroys the balance.

Its death is likely to cause a series of events such as leyline movements, ancient dragon riots, volcanic eruptions, etc., and at that time, the scene of the destruction of the New World is not difficult to imagine. ”

The atmosphere inside the tent is more solemn.

"But it's not without good news." The Dragonman Hunter's words suddenly changed, "Not long ago, we discovered a rift valley with a few fragments of volcanic rock scattered in it.

Judging by the size of the rift, it is likely that the molten mountain dragon has been asleep in it for a while, and if you look in this direction, you may soon find its location. ”

"Where, where!" The cheerful dragon scholar asked aloud.

Mecca walked over to the map and marked the location.

"In this direction, is it the Grand Canyon?" The other uncle shouted with glaring eyes.

"Possibly, possibly!"

"Call back the investigators heading south and step up the investigation of the route to the Grand Canyon!"

"We can also participate in the survey." Evelyn volunteered.

The cheerful dragon scholar was about to say yes, when a few more people broke into the tent.

It's Feng Ying, Ai Bo, and a young dragonman (an unknown biologist) with a turban and a panicked look.

"In the swampy area to the south, we have important discoveries!" Feng Ying said in a hurried tone, her hair was messy, obviously she had just taken a pterodactyl and rushed all the way back.

"Huh? A swamp to the south? The three masters were full of question marks.

We've just decided on the direction of our investigation to the north, and you've made an important discovery to the south?!

"The earth sand dragon has been killed! But it wasn't the mud fish dragon who did it, it was the guy! That horrible guy! The young draconian scholar was incoherent, as if stimulated by something.

Gordon's brows furrowed, "Speak slowly, what is the specific situation." ”

Feng Ying didn't care about what to say hello to, and quickly explained: "On the body of a dead earth sand dragon, we found a large number of bone thorns, and when we got close to the body of the earth sand dragon, the guide worm also emitted a blue bright light.

Master Gordon, you said that the blue glow represents the ancient dragon species, right? ”

The three of them looked at each other.

"Did you bring back the specimens of the bone spines you said?" Hayatta asked.

"Yes, yes, Aibo!"

"Here!" Eppo scrambled to pull out a pitch-black bone shard from his bag.

Gordon grimaced, reaching out to take the piece.

The scar on the cheek ached.

"Are you here to join in the fun?"

ps. Easter egg chapter is the last one in this set.,Gordon's picture.,But to be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with this one.,This artist's painting style is too small and fresh.,Not a fierce man at all.,Others are good to say,Gordon is really not suitable.。

So I found another friend to re-draw, although the style of painting is different, but the image is more in line with =v=
