Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Maybe there is no connection between the two, but it just happens that this creature looks very similar to the so-called 'earth dragon' in the legend."

As a scholar, Alva has a more rational way of looking at things, and his focus is different.

“Moreover, since it can survive in Golden Township, it means that there is a relatively complete ecosystem in Golden Township.

This will be another huge discovery in the biodiversity survey of the New World! "

Feng Ying couldn't care less, so she pinched the neck of the creature that she thought was an earth dragon and tied it up with a capture net.

I got some anesthetic to numb it to prevent it from hurting itself in the continuous struggle, and then threw it into the backpack beside Amber.

That's right, she was going to catch this earth dragon and keep it in the house as a pet.

Alva's eyes twitched, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The New World is extremely rich in biological resources. Not only hunters, many people like to catch interesting creatures when they see them, and use them as pets or to decorate their houses.

In his own home, he only had rabbits, eels, lizards, spiders, and Archaeopteryx. They were flying everywhere in the house. Rania had taught him a lesson more than once, but he still couldn't control the hand that launched the catching net.

"While the Xuanhuilong has left and hasn't come back yet, let's spread out and explore." Anhil said, calling everyone's attention back.

"Compile the topographic map of Golden Township as soon as possible. If you find strange creatures, you can capture them, draw them, or take photos.

But remember, try not to hurt them. The smell of blood in the nest may irritate the colorful dragon. "

The captains of the other two teams said that after receiving it, the three teams split up to investigate.

Anhil and others chose a direction where the ground sloped obviously downwards, probably because the terrain was lower, and more and more gold was accumulated in the caves in this direction.

Giant gold pillars connecting the upper and lower parts can be seen everywhere, and there are even stacking marks on the ground that resemble waves.

"Don't you think it's getting hotter and hotter?" Feng Ying touched the sweat on her forehead and muttered.

Anhil squatted down, pressed his palms on the ground, and felt it for a moment. "The ground is warm. Could it be that the gold was brought here not long ago and has not completely cooled down."

"I think it is more likely to come from geothermal heat. The nearby strata are thin. It is not surprising to be exposed to magma at this depth. With the thermal conductivity of gold, heat can easily diffuse." Alva proposed another possibility:

"Perhaps, this is how Xuanhuilong transforms the cold and dark earth corridor into an environment suitable for its survival."

Ai Bo, who was protected in the center of the team, was holding a notebook and recording information based on the surrounding terrain while answering the call.

"However, with such a huge amount of gold, it is impossible for even the brilliant dragon to collect, transport, and decorate the Golden Land on its own, right?

Could they be social creatures?

A group of people wandered underground in the New World for a long time, gradually collecting gold and various metals from the deposits, and jointly established the Golden Country. "

"That makes sense."

"This is very possible."

Anhir and Alwaziqi agreed with Ai Bo's guess.

Seeing the heated discussion among the three, Jean also joined in, "There is more and more gold. We must be digging into that guy's lair now!"

He carried a sledgehammer and said carelessly: "You said, if that gorgeous dragon wants to build a nest, it should choose to build a nest in the ruins, so the ruins must be in front!"

Ancil, Alva, and Aibo looked at each other.

Gene's guess was illogical, but Feng Ying and Gale both thought it made sense. As for the reason?

Don't ask, just ask.

As they walked, a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters and obvious signs of melting appeared in front of a group of people.

Looking at the cave entrance, Jean couldn't help but recall the lava secret realm he discovered in the Dragon Crystal Land.

The Flame Fei Dragon also used its ultra-high temperature flame breath to melt the separated rock walls and enter the secret lair.

The melting marks on the edge of the hole in front of him are almost exactly the same.

It's just that magma was still flowing in that place at the time, but the one in front of me had already solidified.

"I bet 1,000z that if you enter, you will find the lair of the brilliant dragon! And this must be the entrance to the ruins!" Gene turned around, his face full of confidence.

"I'll call you!"

"I'll follow too! Follow 100z!"

Gale Fengying expressed her stance one after another.

An Xil stared at these three guys who lacked nervousness with a dark face, "You know it might be an ancient dragon's lair, why don't you keep me more vigilant?

From now on, whoever makes one more meaningless nonsense will have his reward deducted 1000z. "

Knowing that An Xil always kept his word, Feng Yingjin kept her mouth shut.

Only Gale smacked his lips confidently, "You're such a boring person, aren't the people who blame me the same as you?

After I ran out of money, I went to fight with Fufu for food. How can you still starve me to death? "

Anhil choked.

However, she just said it hard. After choking, she shut her mouth obediently and came to Ai Bo with a light crossbow slung across her body to guard him to prevent the editor from getting hurt in the event of a sudden attack.

The entire team adjusted into a compact defensive formation, led by two heavy-weapon swordsmen, Feng Ying and Jean, and entered the cave entrance.

This is a huge, roughly circular cave. The top of the cave is more than a hundred meters high. The top is even close to the surface, and sunlight penetrates through the cracks.

This is a palace made of gold.

Giant gold pillars lined up on both sides support a platform also made of gold. On the platform are more giant pillars, layer by layer, until they are close to the top of the cave.

At the top, just below the crack where sunlight shines through, is a surprisingly gorgeous and complex giant chandelier. The diameter and height of the chandelier are over twenty meters.

The golden chain hanging down reflects the sunlight, and the bright golden light seems to enchant the soul.

Even the well-informed Ancil couldn't help but lose consciousness for a few seconds.

"**! I knew it! The ruins are indeed here!" Jean couldn't help shouting excitedly, "**'s ancient civilization was really rich! Did they use gold to build their houses?!"

"No! This is not the ruins of an ancient civilization!"

Alvar pulled down the multifunctional lens on his head, adjusted the focus, and carefully observed the details of the golden pillar and the golden chandelier.

"These are not man-made objects. Look at the details. Those patterns that look like patterns are actually patterns naturally formed by the flow of molten gold!"

"You want to say that these things are 'naturally formed'?!" Gale pointed at the golden chandelier, tilted his head and said to Alva: "Compared with that thing, the chandelier at my house is just a candle. What?"

"Of course it can't be naturally formed, but their creators are not human beings!" The shocking discovery in front of him made Alva lose control of his emotions.

"It's the Xuanhui Dragon! The Xuanhui Dragon manipulates gold and builds this golden palace deep in the Golden Township!

Oh my god, do they have the concept and inheritance of 'art'? Look at these columns and platforms, they even developed ‘architecture’!

Is there a special civilization composed of colorful dragons underground in the New World? ! "

"that."

Ai Bo raised his hand and whispered: "I think it is more likely that Xuanhuilong witnessed similar architectural shapes and decorations from some ruins.

And then imitated it with gold, right? "

"."

Alva was silent for a moment, then laughed dryly and said: "Yes, your guess is more reasonable."
