Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

While Feng Ying and others went to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland to investigate the whereabouts of Laoshan Dragon.

Gordon, Alva and Pork Chops are walking through the ancient forest, which has grown to exaggerated trees.

Trying to find the ancient dragon man who had only met once in this boundless primitive forest was like a joke.

So the purpose of their wandering around was not to "search", but to spread the news that they wanted to meet the ancient dragon people.

For this reason, they also specially approached the insect cage group and other Detel groups, hoping that if they had the opportunity to encounter the ancient dragon people, they could help pass on a message.

Other than that, all they can do is wait.

Wait for the other party to come to your door.

This may seem passive and passive, but according to the past experiences of the seniors of the investigation team, almost every communication with the ancient dragon people comes from the initiative of the other party.

They are hermits in the true sense. When they want to see you, they will naturally appear in front of you.

It was getting late, and the two of them and the cat were walking back to the camp near the top of the ancient giant tree.

Alva's backpack and the small pockets on his coat were filled with all kinds of messy specimens, including plants, minerals, fossils, and even live insects.

These days, he is extremely excited.

Not to mention distant places, just around the ancient giant tree is a treasure trove of life, which cannot be completed even if it is studied for ten years.

He frantically recorded everything he saw and thought. The ink he carried with him was almost running out. He planned to secretly go back to the Star Stronghold in the next two days.

As for why it was secretly, if Rania knew that she had returned to Xingchen but did not go home, but took some ink and continued running away, her end would probably not be good.

As long as I return to the wild, who else can care about me? !

Compared to Alva's unrestrained self-control, Gordon seemed slightly more anxious.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people in the investigation team, the Laoshan Dragon's ancient dragon crossing was no different from the ancient dragon crossing that took place once every ten years in the past.

At most, Laoshanosaurus, as a super-large ancient dragon, had a relatively large impact on the environment and geology.

But Gordon didn't think so.

Maybe out of some inexplicable "intuition"? Or the charade-like conversation with the village chief of Kokot before leaving the Old World?

He always felt that if this matter was not dealt with as soon as possible, it would lead to more and more terrible troubles.

That's why he took the initiative to search for the ancient dragon people, instead of following Feng Ying and the others to search and investigate clues step by step.

But more than a week has passed, not to mention information, not even news about the ancient dragon people.

This made him doubt his choice.

If the ancient dragon people never showed up, wouldn't they be wasting their time?

Well, Alva's scientific research gains can be regarded as gains, and he can be regarded as coming out to serve as his bodyguard.

Gordon tried to convince himself.

Following the thick branches like a road and crossing the vine bridges intertwined like a spider web, the group returned to the treetop camp.

He leaned his sword against the weapon rack and was about to put the materials collected on the road into the storage box when Gordon suddenly stopped.

The figure wearing a strange bamboo hat was standing on the branch above the storage box, staring at him quietly.

Not even a trace of life could be detected, as if it were a mushroom growing on a branch.

Alva hummed a cheerful tune and noticed the figure on the branch a few seconds later. He was stunned for a second and blurted out: "Is that bamboo hat a giant bamboo fungus? This is the first time I've seen such a big one! "

Silent and motionless, the sculpture-like ancient dragon man slowly turned his gaze to look at him.

"Yes." The ancient dragon man's voice was vague but heavy, reverberating like a resonance, "I have cultivated it for a long time."

Alva rubbed his hands, "Can I take some samples? Or let me make a sketch?"

"Can"

The ancient dragon man tore off a small piece from the mesh-like mycelium curtain and handed it to Alva. Alva took the mycelium excitedly, put it away carefully, took out a pen and paper, and drew quickly.

"Wait a minute!" Gordon finally came to his senses. He rubbed his face vigorously, sorted out his sentences, and said quickly: "Old sir, on behalf of the investigation team, I hope to ask you a few questions. As for the reward, if."

"No need." The ancient dragon man interrupted him, "You are at the apex of ecology, a strong man, and qualified to know the secrets of this continent."

Gordon ignored the ancient dragon people's wonderful comments and asked several questions he had already considered, "Excuse me, do you know the specific location of the Molten Mountain Dragon?"

"I don't know. Carrying a volcano dragon on its back, it walks on the earth."

The pork chop next to Gordon shook his beard.

Isn't this nonsense?

Gordon resisted the desire to complain and asked the second question, "Do you know why the Molten Mountain Dragon came to the New World and what impact it will have?"

This question kept the ancient dragonmen silent for a long time, and Gordon and the others waited nervously.

Finally, the ancient dragon man spoke again, "The light of life guides the dragon to this land and towards its final death.

Carrying the volcanic dragon on its back, the vitality of the fire has been accumulated to its peak. If this power enters the earth and circulates, fire will erupt everywhere, the sky will turn into a sea of ​​fire, and the earth will turn into fly ash.

This will be the end of this land.

This is, naturally, theorem. "

Gordon and others' hairs stood up when they heard these blabbering words.

It is unbelievable that the death of the Molten Dragon will bring destruction to the New World, but who dares to ignore the warning of the ancient dragon people?

"How can we stop this?" Gordon took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"The veins of the earth, prevent the dragon carrying the volcano from entering the veins of the earth."

Veins of the Earth? It should be referring to the Leyline Corridor? Gordon took this sentence to heart.

He also wanted to ask for some more information details about Laoshan Dragon, such as its weaknesses, but the ancient dragon man had no intention of continuing the conversation.

After saying vaguely "Be careful, the light of life", he jumped off the branch where he was standing and disappeared among the dense branches, leaves and vines in the blink of an eye.

"Did you remember what you just said?" Gordon looked back at Alva and Pork Chop.

The information given by the ancient dragon man was so shocking that he was afraid that he had missed a few words and needed to check it with his companions.

Alva shook the notebook in his hand and said, "Write it down."

"Very good, we will return to the stars immediately and report this matter to the Commander-in-Chief."

Alva nodded. Although he loves research, he also understands the importance.

The two whistled to summon the pterosaur and set off on their way home.

The commander-in-chief attaches great importance to the intelligence brought back by Gordon and others.

Although I don't know if there is any exaggeration in the words of the ancient dragon man, he has always been accustomed to preparing for the worst.

The importance of investigating the whereabouts of the Laoshan Dragon has skyrocketed. The Commander-in-Chief decisively stopped some projects that were not of high importance or were not so urgent, and devoted more manpower to searching for the Laoshan Dragon.

Team after team of hunters and compilers rode pterosaurs to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.

The high-ranking hunters of the Special Investigation Team are naturally among them.

Before departure, the commander-in-chief assigned them a new task.

——After discovering traces of the Lava Mountain Dragon and confirming its location, there is no need to ask for additional instructions, and carry out close reconnaissance to find weaknesses.

"Be prepared for everything."
