Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Is this where it is?"

After several more hours of trekking, Feng Ying and her party finally arrived at the crack in the mouth of the King of the Qimian Clan.

Broken rocks and broken crystals covered the ground, and there were many cracks in the surrounding caves and mountains. It seemed that the previous explosion of the Molten Mountain Dragon had a considerable impact on this area.

The King of the Strange Face Tribe nodded, "The energy emitted through here is very strong. Through here, you should be able to directly reach the Earth Corridor.

Sorry, we can only send you to here. You need to walk the rest of the way by yourself. "

Feng Ying and others thanked the Qimian Clan seriously and stepped inside. The Qimian Clan set off on their way home, and the two parties parted ways.

After entering the crevice, and walking along the passage collapsed by the earthquake for a short distance, the view suddenly became clear.

"This is not a space that can be collapsed by earthquake collapse." Dragonman hunter Mecca sighed softly.

What lay before them was a bottomless abyss, and they could only move forward along the naturally formed path on the rock wall. (Picture from Long Sheng Commentary)

A lava waterfall emitting astonishing heat hung down from the rock wall. On the other side, there was a clear water waterfall. They fell into the abyss together, but they did not meet and intersect to stir up steam.

This only proves that the space below is larger, and lava and water flow can flow in different directions.

Feng Ying's nose twitched, "Is my nose broken? Why do I seem to smell some sea water?"

"Woof!" Amber shouted, as if to say, "I smell it too!"

"There is indeed a fishy and salty smell of sea water. It seems that there is direct access to the ocean." The dragon hunter looked forward, "Looking at the location, this land of dragon crystals is adjacent to the northern coast of the New World. It is not surprising that it can connect to the sea."

They moved on.

There was no other route to choose from. They could only go along a narrow rock path. Some sections of the rock path were covered by waterfalls. In order to avoid being washed down the abyss by the water, they had to walk very carefully.

The smell of sea water became more and more obvious, and they could even feel the moist sea breeze.

The group of people entered a cave that led directly to the sea. This cave was so spacious that people wondered whether it was naturally formed.

If I had to make a metaphor, even a behemoth like the Molten Mountain Dragon could easily turn around when it walked in.

Ai Bo ran a few steps towards the north. After rounding a bend, she exclaimed, "You can see the sea from here!"

The group of people caught up with April.

Looking at the calm sea and sky exposed at the end of the cave, Mecca showed a hint of surprise on his face, "No wonder, there is such a large external passage, then everything will be explained."

"What?" Feng Ying didn't know what he was talking about.

Mecca had no choice but to explain patiently: "Originally, we predicted the action route of the Lava Mountain Dragon and believed that its final destination was likely to be the Miasma Valley.

But to be honest, with its size, it is difficult to squeeze into that canyon, and it is even more difficult to enter the underground of the core area of ​​Miasma Cause. "

As he spoke, Mecca unfolded a map of the New World, "Perhaps it was not planning to go to the Miasma Valley in the first place. Although it was an ancient dragon cemetery, it may not be suitable for its oversized size.

If you follow the Grand Canyon all the way to this place on the northern coast, you can easily pass through this cave and enter the depths of the Earth Corridor.

Maybe, this is its true route. "

"Oh!" Feng Ying said "I understand", "Then?"

".There is no more."

Mecca was a bit troubled by the straight-forward way of thinking of this younger member of his race. "The Lava Dragon has been stopped, and its corpse has been turned into a lava canyon. This will be a guess that can never be confirmed."

Feng Ying blinked, "Okay, let's continue walking in?"

"Well, you can also feel it. The deeper you go into the Earth Corridor, the more obvious you feel the life energy."

Feng Ying felt it seriously, "It seems a little, just, a vague intuition, as if the front is very dangerous, but I can't help but want to move forward."

"That's right." Mecca nodded happily.

He called back Ai Bo, who was drawing a sketch of the cave, and went against the river leading to the sea to explore the depths of the earth's veins.

The cave gradually narrowed, and those familiar silver crystals began to appear on the surrounding cave walls.

Continuing forward, they went all the way for four or five kilometers, and they had to stop.

The road in front of us is blocked by several intertwined crystal pillars. It would be difficult for a hunting cat to get through the narrow gaps in between, and it would be even more difficult for humans to even think about it.

Mecca frowned and took off the bug stick behind him.

Feng Ying followed him with bright eyes and took off the shield and ax from behind.

Mecca swung his insect stick and knocked off a small piece of the crystalline pillars that emitted hazy white light. He picked up the fragments, put away the weapon, and felt it.

"This kind of purity is amazing! We are indeed very close. What are you going to do?!" Dragonman hunter Mecca looked at Feng Ying beside her in astonishment, inserting her sword into her shield.

"Ah, so it turns out we want to break down these obstacles?" Feng Ying, who was carrying the giant ax, was stunned.

".Do you think you can smash it open?" Mecca looked at those giant crystal pillars several meters in diameter, and couldn't help but want to ask who did you learn this reckless thinking from?

"Maybe it's okay that it can't be smashed open." Feng Ying put away the weapon with a dry smile, "I'll ask Pig Chop to bring more explosives later, it should be able to explode."

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she also walked to the crystals blocking the way forward, pressed her palms on them, and wanted to imitate Mecca and say something like "the purity is so high" that sounded powerful.

A wave of energy rushed into her body following the contact of her palms.

Her pupils were like lit lamps, lighting up with a silver-blue light.

"Come here. Come here." Feng Ying muttered to herself unconsciously.

Seeing Feng Ying suddenly entering a state of resonance, even Mecca, who had a calm personality, felt a little at a loss and was hesitating whether to wake her up.

Feng Ying's movements suddenly paused, the light in her eyes went out, she shook her head and regained consciousness.

".What was that just now?" Feng Ying looked around blankly.

Mecca frowned, "The route has been confirmed, the exploration ends here, we retreat."

In the camp tent, the top hunters stood around a wooden table.

Seeing Ancil and Alva summarizing the intelligence reported by the returning groups, Gordon asked eagerly: "How is it? Is there any result?"

"It is basically confirmed that the location of the energy source is a little north of the center of the Dragon Crystal Land, which is under the extremely huge and glowing crystal mountain.

The problem is, we can't find a direct path underground. Alva frowned.

This feeling of the truth being so close before his eyes, yet so untouchable, made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Can't we find a way to smash or explode the crystal mountain?" Gordon asked.

Ted on the side also nodded repeatedly, "My uncle's dragon cannon is ready to go!"

"Do you only think about muscles? Blow up a mountain?!"

"Blow your head, meow! Are you pigs, meow?"

Ancil Pork Chop glared at the two of them.

"It seems unrealistic, huh?" Gordon smiled dryly and changed the subject, "By the way, why aren't Feng Ying and her team back yet? They are taking so long."

"Coming back late is not necessarily a bad thing." Hayata said with a smile: "Maybe they have found important clues and are investigating in depth?"

Ps.

In fact, the Molten Mountain Dragon's original goal was the Miasma Valley. Later, it was attracted by the Dark Lantern Dragon and turned into the Earth Corridor.

The seaside cave in this chapter refers to the "Leyline Corridor" where Laoshan Dragon's second battle takes place in the game.

There is a crack here that leads directly to the Land of Dragon Crystal (this is how the Grand Leader found the Land of Dragon Crystal), and the cave entrance in the depths is the entrance to the Land of Ending.

The reason why it is not called the Leyline Corridor is to facilitate the distinction between "outside the Leyline" and "deep within the Leyline".
