Chapter 1196: Underground Ruins
Anhill tapped his eyebrows.
He found himself stuck in a mindset as well.
Before, whether it was to investigate the ecology of the Xuanhui Dragon, or to find the location of the Golden Township, it was necessary to find the Xuanhui Dragon, so it was natural to chase the guide insects.
But now, their main purpose is to explore this golden land and find the relics of ancient civilizations that exist in it.
Then it is the right thing to do by avoiding the area where the Radiant Dragon is located as much as possible.
"Evelyn and the others encountered the ruins of the white-gold Radiant Dragon before, in which direction?" Gordon asked Alva.
Alva flipped out a road map, confirmed it, and said, "Southeast, the straight-line distance from here is less than two kilometers. ”
Gordon nodded, "Then let's go in the opposite direction first."
I heard you say that the strength of the white-gold Radiant Dragon is still above the other individual, not to mention that there are cubs over there, I am afraid that it is the focus of the Radiant Dragon Clan.
Let's get away from the area first, and then go back to it. ”
Everyone should be.
Feng Ying grinned and flattered, "Master Gordon! Sure enough, it's better for you to command, better than Anhill! ”
"Right? I think so too. Gordon cheekily replied.
Anhill's face darkened a little, but he didn't say anything.
The hunters are on the move again.
There were quite a few hunting partners in the team, and Gordon arranged for the pork chop to take the mushrooms and lean forward to scout.
Then arrange for Nanasi to take two hunting cats and lag behind the large army for some distance, so that there can be a timely warning when a monster appears from the rear.
Babaka of the Oddface was left in the group by him, and he asked him to join the toothhounds to check for any Golden Oddfaces to spy on or follow them.
It should be easier for it to see through the disguise of the Golden Oddface.
There is the whole vigilance of the hunting partners, coupled with the habit of using the guide insect to guide the way in reverse, to avoid the area where the Brilliant Dragon may be infested.
This huge team of hunters explored and advanced for several kilometers without any danger.
Alva was the busiest member of the group, constantly recording routes and terrain while searching for creature tracks.
Along the way, he has spotted steamed crabs, horseshoe crabs, and several other endemic species to Golden Township.
As it guessed, the Brilliant Dragon was not only carrying the gold from the Golden Village, but also the entire ecosystem that matched it!
This is a remarkable discovery in the bioscience world, but hunters don't care about it.
Being in a group will inevitably relax your spirit.
It's like Feng Ying and Jean, like two bear children, kicking those gold leaf horseshoe crabs one by one.
Especially when they found out that the gold leaf horseshoe crab always seemed to like to crawl with the dragon slayer stone in his arms, they began to compare who kicked the gold leaf horseshoe crab and dropped a larger piece of the dragon slayer stone.
I didn't get tired of it, and I was slapped on the head by Gordon before it stopped.
This atmosphere, which is difficult to say whether it is relaxed or tense, lasted until the pork chops and mushrooms appeared in everyone's sight.
Gordon immediately ordered everyone to stop and stand on guard.
Pork Chop came to him on all fours, suppressed his voice and said excitedly: "Ruins meow! Found the ruins meow! ”
Alva immediately walked over and opened his mouth to ask a series of questions, "Where?" What age? What is the scale? How about saving? What is the type of building? ”
The pork chop can only answer the first question, "It's in front, no more than two hundred meters in a straight line!" I can't see anything else! ”
Gordon and Anhill glanced at each other and whispered to the hunters behind him, "Speed up!" ”
The whole team immediately sped up.
Within minutes, the hunters came to the ruins in the mouth of the pork chop.
At this time, Gordon and the others realized why the pork chop could not tell what he said.
The ruins are located underground, and the part that can be directly seen is only a square, well-like passage and a staircase that leads nowhere.
Alva scurried over and lay at the entrance of the ruins, his face almost touching the bricks, and he even wanted to lick a few bites.
"I have never seen similar stone bricks, and the materials of these bricks are different from those of the Pyramid of the Flooded Forest, the Ruins of Lingfeng, the Ancient Ruins of the Sand Sea, and the Ancient Pagoda of the Sea of Trees!
Has there ever been a completely unknown civilization in the New World? It can't be."
And let Alva go crazy over there, Gordon looked around, thought for a moment, and then said to the hunters:
"It seems to be a closed underground ruin, and it is unknown what is inside, where it leads, and whether there are any other entrances and exits.
It's too dangerous for all the people to enter together, so the first wave of investigation will be in charge of our silverside.
Others stay on guard near the entrance to avoid accidents.
As for the harvest, there is no need to worry, no matter what we find in the ruins, everyone participates in the distribution. ”
"No problem, Uncle Ben will guard the entrance of the cave, don't worry!" Ted was the first to speak.
The two teams also have no opinion.
The three silver-edged people, including Jean, who temporarily joined the team, have a good reputation on weekdays, and no one thinks that they are going to seize the treasures in the ruins.
After quickly checking his belongings and equipment, Gordon was about to enter the passage first with the pork chops, but was suddenly stopped by Alva.
"I'll go ahead." Alva's tone was serious.
Gordon shrugged and stepped back behind him.
Exploring ruins is different from hunting, and it is more appropriate for Alva, who has more archaeological experience, to take command.
Alva held the lamp, Gordon and Windshield guarded his left and right flanks, and Anhilgien guarded the rear, and the group cautiously stepped into the dark entrance.
They followed the steps, all the way down.
The steps weren't too long, and after a minute or two, they were at the bottom.
"One hundred and three floors, counting the height of the upper echelon, it is about thirty meters down and about forty meters forward." Alva muttered, not knowing whether he was reporting or talking to himself.
Suddenly, there was some "bustling" movement above their heads.
The hunters looked up at the same time, and Anhill's finger was already on the trigger of the heavy ballista.
"Don't rush into fire, it's not like a big creature." Gordon turned his head and said.
"Rattle!"
With a piercing scream, a shadow reflecting the golden reflection swooped down and swooped straight for Alva, who was carrying the lamp.
Just as it was about to pounce on Alva, Gordon suddenly reached out, grabbed it, and slammed it to the ground.
The winged creature was stronger than he had thought, and not only was it not stoned, but it was fluttering and ready to fly again, and Gordon hurriedly stepped on it and stomped it firmly.
Even so, it continued to scratch and gnaw with its sharp claws, claws, and even teeth, trying to fight back.
Of course, these attacks landed on the [Wild Stripes] armor, and they couldn't even scratch the surface.
By the light of the insect cage, Gordon, who could barely see the monster clearly, muttered, "Bats? Such a big bat? ”
Alva, who came to his senses, moved the lantern to the monster's side, looked at it, and said, "Ah, it's the Scale Striker, an extremely miniaturized Wyvern species in order to adapt to the environment.
The color of this one. It is estimated that it was specialized and mutated in the Golden Township.
It shouldn't have anything to do with the ruins themselves, so let's run in and use this as a nest. ”
"This thing is a wyvern?" Feng Ying kicked the creature that looked like a big bat in disbelief.
"Biologically, yes." Alva looked at the golden-scaled striker a few more times regretfully, "If I don't want to explore the ruins, I'll definitely catch it." ”
After confirming that it was not a dangerous creature, at least not for the hunter, Gordon let go of his foot and let it fly away in panic.
Looking at the tiny wyvern that fluttered its wings and quickly disappeared into the darkness, Gordon pinched his chin.
"I suddenly had a bold idea that might greatly improve the efficiency and safety of our exploration of the Golden Country, and even largely ignore the threat of the Brilliant Dragon."
"Tell me?" Anhill looked over.
"Whether it's the leyline cave or this golden town, it's quite spacious, right? Can we bring the pterosaurs down as well? ”
