Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After confirming the entrance, the two editors recorded the location coordinates on the map in detail, as well as the route they took.

At this point, the investigation mission comes to an end.

Everyone stayed away from the area, took a short rest to recover their strength, and then took the pterosaur back to the star stronghold.

Gale originally wanted to take Gaba back with him, treat him well, and reward him for his hard work these days, but Gaba is the leader of a tribe after all, and he couldn't stay away for too long, so he had to give up in the end.

After returning to the stars, Ancier and the two editors immediately went to find the commander-in-chief and report the intelligence gained from this investigation mission.

The alcoholic trio ran to the pub without stopping.

Not drinking alcohol is the limit of what they can do. It is impossible to completely quit drinking.

Feng Ying happily counted her harvest.

During the last day of investigation, they discovered several more places where gold pieces were scattered. Although the gold collected had to be shared with seven or eight people, the final harvest was still pretty good.

If it is completely smelted and sold as gold, it can be sold for a lot of money.

In the end, Anxier couldn't bear to trick her to death and asked her to sell these special alloys that looked like gold to the processing house, and then pay him back in cash.

Feng Ying was shocked by her previous stupidity and hurried to the processing house for identification.

The composition of these scattered gold is very inconsistent. Some of them look golden, but they contain little gold and have poor alloy properties. The selling price is similar to that of iron ore.

But there are also cases where the quality is extraordinary, and a piece of alloy as big as a palm can be sold for nearly 100,000 yuan.

After settling the bits and pieces, the final selling price was almost twice the price of purified gold.

If An Xil hadn't let her go, she wouldn't have been able to pay off nearly a third of the debt in one go.

As for the remaining two-thirds, Feng Ying is not worried. The entrance to Golden Township has been found. Are she still worried about not finding the gold?

She couldn't wait to make a fortune.

Two days later, after the craftsmen and scholars completed the analysis of the composition of the gold brought back, and the teams that went to the Big Ant Mound Wasteland to "hunt for treasure" also returned one after another with gold and intelligence, the Commander-in-Chief convened a meeting.

"Further investigation into the Xuanhuilong has been determined." The first sentence of the commander-in-chief stunned the hunters present.

Now that it’s established, what is the purpose of this meeting?

"So, is there any special discovery?" As the leader of the investigation team, Gordon did not participate in the previous investigation mission, but because of Feng Ying's verbosity, he knew a lot.

"We found this among the gold fragments brought back by the hunters." The commander-in-chief took out a roughly triangular piece of metal, no more than four or five square centimeters in size, and placed it on the command podium.

Gordon picked up the piece of metal, glanced at it and confirmed, "This is an artificial object, should it be a fragment of the blade of some kind of weapon?

Is it an investigation team, or is it left behind by orcs like the Strange Face Clan? "

"No." The leader of the second phase team, who rarely participated in meetings, shook his head and denied, "It was wrapped in a piece of gold. We discovered it after melting the gold."

"Wrapped in gold?" Ancier asked confirmingly.

"Well, after research, it was confirmed that this weapon fragment did not use our current forging skills. The technical level is very high, and it should not be the work of the orcs.

We speculate that it may come from ancient civilizations, and only in this way can it explain its existence. "

"Ancient civilization? Are there traces of ancient civilization in the New World?!" Alva looked particularly excited.

As a student of that professor, his research on the history of ancient civilizations was also quite in-depth.

The leader of the research team adjusted his glasses and said: "This is what makes us strange. In the nearly half a century since the investigation team came to the New World, we have not discovered any relics or remnants of ancient civilizations.

This weapon fragment is the only specimen we have found so far.

However, since it appears together with the gold of Xuanhuilong, it may be easier to explain.

The ruins of ancient civilizations are deep underground, out of reach of us, and the brilliant dragon wandering deep in the earth's veins may have passed through those ruins, so there were weapon fragments and gold stuck to it. "

"Is it a relic from ancient times?" Anhil touched the [Ark] on his body.

Speaking of which, his armor was dug out of the Latio volcano and then repaired using the materials of the Celestial Dragon.

"In this case." Alva's glasses reflected the light, "The follow-up investigation on Xuanhuilong and the so-called 'Golden Land' will be different."

No wonder the commander-in-chief set the tone when he came up and said, "The investigation is confirmed."

The Guild's support for the investigation of ancient civilizations and prehistoric civilizations is very strong.

There are many reasons, not to mention the most basic ones such as digging protective stones, but also the acquisition of knowledge about certain taboo existences, the extraction and restoration of ancient technology, etc.

It is said that many of the shield axes and chopping axes used by hunters come from the analysis of the technology of ancient civilizations, such as the "bottle" used to accumulate energy.

That thing and modern human machinery are obviously two different technical routes.

Gordon frowned. At this point in the meeting, the nature and focus of the Xuan Hui Long investigation mission had changed.

This is not something you can do by sending out a team of high-level hunters to investigate once or twice and get results.

The entire investigation cycle may take several months or even longer.

Sure enough, the commander-in-chief spoke, "In general, the original plan remains unchanged. In the next period of time, we will dispatch multiple investigation teams in the form of free missions and enter the ground cracks multiple times.

The objectives of the investigation include the ecology of Xuanhuilong, clues about the energy circulation of the earth's veins, and possible remains of ancient civilizations, etc. "

Having said this, the commander-in-chief paused and looked at Gordon, "Squad leader of the investigation squad, I hope you will convey this signal to the hunters.

What the investigation team and the guild need is 'knowledge' and 'information'. As for the treasures discovered during the investigation, relics of ancient civilizations, etc., all will be settled and returned after the scholars have extracted the information.

In this case, it should be able to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, right? "

Gordon twitched his lips and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I think what you should worry about is not lack of enthusiasm, but whether if everyone goes to hunt for treasures, there will not be enough manpower to complete other tasks.

Otherwise, you should impose some restrictions, such as registering in batches. One batch is limited to three to four teams. If the number of registrations is full, wait for the next batch. "

The Commander-in-Chief was a little surprised when he heard this, "Just because there is more news that there may be ruins of ancient civilizations, how much will the enthusiasm of the hunters increase?"

After exchanging glances with Ancil, Gordon couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, gold treasures, mining weapons, protective stones, etc.

Even though these are just illusory possibilities, they are enough to make those young hunters squeeze their heads and crawl into the cracks in the ground. "

Anxier also spread his hands and said, "You can ask Miss Bai Feng, the leader of the fifth phase of the group. Her thoughts should represent the opinions of most young hunters."

The commander-in-chief looked over and found that Feng Ying's eyes were shining.

"Commander-in-Chief, is there a time limit for the free investigation mission? Can I bring a few more pickaxes and live underground for two years?"

Ps.

Let me explain here. There are no ancient ruins in the game's ley lines. I am going to expand and write it down here. Otherwise, there are so many weapons on the Xianhui Dragon. The investigation team has never fought against the Xuanhui Dragon before.

However, there won't be much content in the ruins. It's mainly used as a background to rationalize the setting of letting the rich woman drop digging weapons, and some... introductions?
