Old Detle's memories actually don't say anything, but they do aggravate the "suspicion" of the light of life from a certain angle.

In the New World, there does seem to be something that can attract the attention of the ancient dragons, and even dominate their behavior to a certain extent.

This will be a critical issue, both from the point of view of academic research and from the point of view of human security.

even

Gordon wonders if the ancient dragon turmoil in the Old and New Worlds over the years is also related to this "light of life".

The old chief of the village of Kokot once said that the sources of unrest in the Old and New Worlds are not the same, but the two sides may also affect each other.

The source of the turmoil in the Old World, the village chief and the guild leaders should know it in their hearts, combined with some knowledge involving "taboos" that they have been exposed to before, Gordon can probably guess that it is the one in the northern Shurett City.

And everything on this side of the New World is still in the fog.

The Grand Master guessed that it was because of the existence of the Exterminating Dragon, which preyed on the ancient dragon species, that the ancient dragons were always difficult to calm down.

So for decades, he has been following the footsteps of the Exterminating Dragon.

However, Gordon felt that although the Exterminating Dragon was ferocious, it was obviously not comparable to the "forbidden existence" of Shurett City, and the so-called source should be something more powerful and mysterious.

For example, this "light of life".

After communicating with the Detters of the Fish Basket Clan, and after confirming that they could not get more meaningful information, Gordon and the others planned to leave.

The worm was left behind, and she was playing with a few kittens who had just been born for a few days.

Whether as a hunter or an investigator, she is a bit of a half-asser, but she is full of abilities as a breeder and survival in the wild.

Considering the danger of tracking the steel dragon, it is better not to take her with you.

The patriarch's fish bones still wanted to be kept, but the hunters had already made up their minds, so they had to invite them to come back next time.

"Oh, yes."

Putting on his helmet and summoning the sour pterodactyl, Gordon, who was about to take off, suddenly turned around and said to the fishbone: "The next time Azi comes to fish again, tell him to ask him to come back to the stars and come to me." ”

After a period of flying, Gordon and his party landed in the woods.

This was one of the coordinates of the location provided by the Detters, and it could be seen while still in the air, with obvious signs of the surrounding trees being swept by the wind.

Large trees with complex roots and thick trunks were fine, but the branches were broken, and those small trees and shrubs that were less than a hug thick were considered to have suffered, some of them were directly uprooted, and one was even swept into the crown of another large tree.

"Is this just 'the trail of passing by'? It's an exaggeration."

Gordon was stunned, and he summoned his companions, who took turns to put the precious steel dragon scales into the guide cage, allowing these small creatures with keen perceptions to extract information.

The human eye may see clearly, and the sense of smell may be disturbed, but the guide insects are very reliable in most cases, and they can basically find clues of similar odors in the vicinity.

When the dragon scales were placed in the insect guide cage, these small creatures emitted a burst of blue light, and then fell silent, without more movement, and the insect guide cage on the waists of the three people was the same.

This is not surprising.

The heavy rain once every few days, even if there are some claw marks and smells on the ground, should be washed away.

If it weren't for the dragon scales that the Dettels had discovered, they would have had a hard time finding any clues.

"I wonder if there will be more scales scattered out." Pandan licked her paws, "If you collect more, the perception of the guide worm will also become keen." ”

Pork Chop glanced at it, "More scales. Do you think the steel dragon is your meow? Still hair removal meow? ”

"Meow!!"

"Alright." Gordon interrupted the daily quarrel between the two Ellous, "If the steel dragon hadn't fought other monsters, it wouldn't have been easy to find scattered objects such as scales.

Give priority to looking for footprints and claw marks, maybe there will be odor residues, take some samples and put them in the insect guide cage to see if there is any reaction.

Let's spread out and look for it, the range should not exceed 500 meters, whether you find it or not, return here to meet in half an hour. ”

"Okay." Halfata nodded, and left in a direction carrying Xianglan, who was dancing with teeth and claws.

Gordon looked at Alva, who was eager to take the plunge.

As soon as this guy came out into the wild, it was as if he had turned on some kind of switch, and became extremely active.

"I'll let the pork chop follow you, it's safer."

"No, no, no!" Alva threw his invisibility cloak on, put on his hood, and plunged headlong into the dark forest.

Gordon and the pork chop looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders, and together they walked to the rest of the directions.

The forest is full of fallen and broken trees, entangled with vines and shrubs, and it is not easy to walk.

Gordon had to take out the stripping knife, which was no different from a hand axe to ordinary people, and move forward as he opened the way.

At the same time, his eyes were constantly searching around.

When he came to a certain place, he suddenly noticed that there were many marks on the ground and tree trunks around him, which resembled sharp cuts.

These scratches are shallow, and they can't be left by the dragon's claws, they should be the marks left by sharp air currents.

Gordon's eyes froze and he looked around.

The vegetation around them was roughly radioactive and skewed in all directions, and the hundred-square-meter area they were currently standing on was like the center of an explosion, with even the layers of turf and soil peeled off.

"The steel dragon should have taken off or landed here."

"Hmm."

Gordon's judgment was similar to that of pork chops, where the destruction of vegetation was noticeably worse than elsewhere.

He came to the trunk of a tree covered with wind-cut marks, took his knife and made a cut on the bark, and when he saw that the scar was about as deep as the wind-cut marks, he slashed his armor with the same force.

The armor made of Black Flame King's scale armor and high-quality alloy barely left scratches, which made Gordon's heart relax a little.

The Purple Poison Queen equipped by Hayatta this time will be slightly inferior to the Black Flame King in terms of overall defensive performance, after all, it is not a heavy armor.

However, there is no difference in the strength of the material between the two, at least it can ensure that she is not harmed by these sharp air currents that are not even attacks.

In retrospect, I was a little glad.

Hayatta chose this set of armor instead of the more commonly used [Death Claw] because of the Purple Poison Queen's suit's special ability (Special Understanding) to activate toxins.

Otherwise, with the bare skin of [Death Claw], I am afraid that this one will have to suffer a little.

After examining the wind cuts, Gordon returned to the center of the clearing.

Pork Chop pointed to a few shallow depressions of stagnant water on the ground, "These should be the footprints left by the steel dragon, although they have been soaked by the rain for I don't know how long, but there may still be a little bit of breath left." ”

Gordon came to the puddle, half-crouched down, took some mud with a knife, and put it in the guide cage.

The worms landed on the mud, and it took several seconds for them to glow blue.

"There's really a little bit of breath left, and it would have been much better if I had come a few days earlier." Gordon stood up, "There may be other clues around, let's look for them more closely." ”

There is nothing to regret, guide insects are very magical creatures, as long as they continue to provide them with clues to their breath, they will become more and more sensitive.

Until you take them and find your goal.

PS. Tracking level has been increased
