Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 625 Dark stones and red butterflies

Author: It’s a puffer fish

The appearance of huge claw marks slightly tensed Gordon and Ancil's nerves.

It would be okay if it was a hunting mission. As long as they paid a little attention, five-star dangerous monsters would not pose a threat to them, but the purpose this time was to protect the archaeologists from completing the investigation.

If there can be no fighting, it's better to try not to cause complications.

Ms. Duda, who became nervous, no longer took the time to give Ancil their knowledge on popular science and archeology, fearing that they would be distracted.

Of course, it could also be because the strong wind was making me jump up and down a bit, so it took some effort to sit still.

The group of people ran like this among the ruins-strewn mountains for dozens of minutes. Duda, who was lying on the back of the strong wind, suddenly raised his voice and warned: "We are almost there! Do you see the hillside in front of you? It's the hillside.

The ruins above!"

When Gordon, who was leading the way, heard this, he slowed down and turned more attention to confirming the surrounding environment.

Anhil, who was at the back of the team, turned his head slightly, and under his mechanical-looking visor, his eyes quickly scanned every place where a monster might be hiding.

They just maintained their alert posture and came to the hillside.

What was displayed in front of them were the remains of a large building. From a modern perspective, it looked a bit like a chapel.

"This is it! According to the data, the rubbing of the ancient document was taken from here!"

There were ruins waiting to be investigated in front of her. Things like the appearance of monsters were immediately forgotten by Duda. She turned over and got off the dog, ready to run into the ruins.

Liefeng opened his mouth and grabbed the back of her scholar's uniform, throwing her back again.

Anhil's order to it was to protect Duda, so she couldn't be allowed to run around.

Duda was a little confused, Anhil said with a smile: "Just ride it to investigate. Just point and tell it where you want it to take you, and it will understand."

Duda was slightly dissatisfied, but he also knew that this was not an ordinary ruins, but a red area where high-risk monsters were active, and the requirements of the guard hunters always had to be listened to.

"Don't rush in, Pork Chop, let's go in and check it out."

"Good meow."

Gordon left Ancil to "watch" the archaeologists while he took the pork chop into the ruins first.

This ruins is quite large, covering an area of ​​about three to four thousand square meters, and the indoor part that is not open to the air is about two thousand square meters.

Of course, it is incomparable to super giant ruins such as the Lingfeng Ruins or the Shuhai Ancient Pagoda. Within a few minutes, Gordon and Pig Chop came out.

"It's safe, there are no monsters, go in."

"Go quickly, go quickly." Duda urged Li Feng forward, she couldn't wait any longer.

Gordon and Ancil followed Duda.

After a brief exploration before, Gordon guessed that this ruins building might have been a religious place before. There were a lot of stone tablets and stone carvings inside.

As for what was specifically written on it, of course he couldn't understand it.

This is why the captain of the investigation team sent archaeologists to accompany the team to investigate. It would indeed be safer for the hunters to come by themselves, but they would undoubtedly miss a lot of information.

"Oh! What is engraved on this stone tablet is the content of the ancient document preserved in the Longliyuan Document Library!"

"Damn it, there are so many inscriptions and so much information, why did you only print out a few of them?"

"Put me down! Stupid dog! Don't drag me! Squat aside for me!"

Looking at Ms. Duda who was lying on the inscription and stone carvings, entering into a research state and constantly pushing Gale Feng's big head.

Gordon shrugged, "Anhil, keep an eye on her. I'll go outside and take a look. I found something interesting before."

"What?!" Ms. Duda turned her head suddenly, "What's something interesting? Stone sculpture? Stone tablet? Is it a mural?!"

"Uh, no." Gordon waved his hand, "I saw some unseen ores in the rock mass, and I'm a little concerned about them. I plan to collect some back. Maybe they will be of some use."

"Oh." Ms. Duda suddenly lost interest and continued to study the inscriptions on the stone tablet. She also took a booklet to record the words that she could not decipher for the moment.

Gordon took the pork chop out of the hall where the stele was located and came to the rock wall where he had previously discovered the strange ore.

"I hope it will be something good." Gordon moved his waist and arms, and took off the pickaxe from behind.

"How did Gordon come up with the idea of ​​a cat with a pickaxe?" Pig Chop's beard trembled, but it didn't even notice that there was an iron pickaxe hidden under Gordon's big sword.

"You can't go in vain. A survey mission is also a collection mission, hehe!"

The iron pickaxe struck the cracks in the rock wall, and soon, a fist-sized piece of dark red ore was knocked down by him along with many fine pieces of stone.

"Tsk, it doesn't feel right."

Gordon smacked his lips, "It's too brittle, it doesn't look like high-grade metal ore."

Pork Chop was not surprised at all by this. If he could really casually discover a new type of ore with superior properties, his luck would be outrageous. Gordon has never been such a person.

"Anyway, let's take it back first. Maybe the scholars at Longli Academy will be interested."

Gordon reached out to fish for the ore, and when his fingertips touched the black ore, his movements paused.

"Um?"

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Not sure, it's a bit numb." Gordon became more interested, picked up the red ore, and looked at it carefully.

Pork Chop also came closer, with four eyes in front of the ore.

"Crack!"

A tiny, almost imperceptible crimson arc flashed between the black ore and Gordon's Tyrannosaurus wrist armor.

A man and a cat looked at each other.

"Did you see it too?"

"I saw a meow. It looks like a meow with dragon energy."

"Ore containing dragon energy?" Gordon thought it was incredible, but he and Pork Chop had both seen the red arc flash, so it couldn't be an illusion.

After thinking for a while, he pulled out the epitaph sword behind him.

This epitaph sword passed down from ancient times is very sensitive to dragon energy, and may react to this ore.

With this thought in mind, he pressed the black ore onto the blade of the Epitaph Sword.

"Buzz——"

The moment the ore came into contact with the sword blade, the inscription on the sword suddenly lit up, and a small ball of red lightning exploded.

"Crack!"

Gordon quickly threw away the black ore and shook his hand, "It can really induce dragon-type energy."

"I actually dug something out for you, meow. Let's dig out a few more pieces and go back, meow!"

Pork Chop stared at the black ore, but what he was thinking about was whether this thing could possibly replace the scarce Dragon Slaying Fruit and be used to create some special explosives or something.

"good!"

With renewed energy, Gordon swung his pickaxe and knocked down a few more pieces of Hertz-colored ore. He finally stopped until the conspicuous Hertz-red color could no longer be seen in the exposed veins.

The strong dragon-type Epitaph Sword and the dragon-type Tyrannosaurus armor with poor resistance were not suitable for direct contact with the black ore, so Gordon stuffed these items into the package of pork chops.

Then, they happily returned to the hall of the ruins building to share their new discoveries with Ancil and Ms. Duda.

As they walked far away, they didn't notice that several butterflies with red light fluttered their wings and flew closer, landing on the dark fragments that fell to the ground.
