Chapter 550 Dragon and Big Pit

To be honest, Amber is not unfamiliar with the adventurer's expedition process - although she is not an adventurer herself, the adventurers she has worked with (suddenly) (you) add up to almost enough to knock down a viscount. ——In her concept, when encountering exploration targets such as magic forests, ancient caves, and secret dungeons, the most normal process usually starts with organizing a team, preparing supplies, collecting intelligence, and then cautiously entering the target area and investigating along the way. , draw maps, dismantle traps, fight monsters... Basically, nine out of ten adventurers will do this, and the remaining one is basically dead on the way...

But now, Gawain has proved with facts that most of the above processes can basically be concentrated in half the ammunition base...

The deafening roar of artillery fire broke the barbaric order of the Black Forest for thousands of years - the fire of civilization that was more savage than barbarism directly burned all the vegetation on the border of the forest, and all the dangerous monsters within the range were also wiped out, poisonous plants, cunning The magical beasts, the greedy meat eaters and the treacherous spirit eaters... all sublimate with art, and the sublimation is clean.

Safe, efficient, clean, no hidden dangers, there are no traps in the blasted secret realm, and there are no monsters in the burnt black forest.

Gawain stood on the high ground in front of the cave of the Shadow Experiment Field, and looked at the avenue that was flattened by the artillery fire with satisfaction—of course, this avenue full of craters was not so "flat", but it was still much better than the Black Forest. Beside him was Amber who was stunned and had the expression "You are teasing me".

"You're actually doing this..." Miss Half-elf felt like she had seen a whole new world again, "Aren't you afraid of attracting monsters from the Black Forest..."

"Monster? It should have been blown up," Gawain said indifferently, "I'm not a blind commander - no one knows the situation of the magic tide polluted area better than me. This is a sparsely polluted area, and the main harm is these mutations. Plants and poisonous water sources, as well as some weak monsters that are not climatic, really powerful magic tide creatures will not gather in this area, and the thin chaotic magic energy here cannot support their long-term activities."

As Gawain said, he also gave the order after thinking. He chose to open the way with artillery fire after confirming that the environment was suitable. In this dangerous black forest, gunning down the world is basically the most suitable way to open the way.

A team of elite Iron Rangers was quickly organized, and under the personal leadership of Soldrin, the team set out with Gawain and Amber.

Although Gawain's "fire reconnaissance" always made people feel that something was wrong, Amber had to admit that the Black Forest, which had been plowed by artillery fire, seemed a lot safer. She saw countless fragmented plant remains scattered among the gravel and craters. , those plants were dangerous poisons that could kill people at any time not long ago, and there were even some daunting corpses of monsters mixed among the corpses of plants, those twisted and mutated flesh and blood billowing smoke, and some of the corpses even still Wriggling slightly - but now they can't possibly jump up and attack themselves.

With a short bow in hand, Solderin led the team forward while guarding the surroundings: Although the artillery fire blew up a large area, most of the nearby monsters should also be caught by the power of the magic cannon and dare not approach here for the time being. However, many monsters under the influence of the magic tide cannot be judged rationally. Maybe there will be mutant monsters who are not afraid of death rushing out from the jungle in the distance. There are not a few pioneers who died in this kind of raid.

Gawain reassured him to leave the vigilance work to Solderling and the Iron Rangers, while most of his energy was focused on the satellite view in his mind.

The impact crater is very close.

The "safe passage" bombed by the artillery fire has come to an end. In front of it is a staggered cluster of ancient trees and shrubs. The team has now entered the interior of the Black Forest. This is the edge of the area covered by the artillery fire. The man-made thunder fire stops here. Almost everywhere there are towering giant trees and tall bushes that grow recklessly - this is not because the "Justice" magic-guided gun's range is not enough, but Gawain deliberately let the artillery of the Byron Knights control the range of fire bombing, He was worried that a round of shells had gone down and destroyed some vital clues.

But it doesn't matter, it's almost the edge of the impact crater.

Gawain raised his head and looked into the depths of the dark jungle. At this moment, the light of the sky had gradually dimmed, and the not-so-bright sunlight penetrated through the thin magic energy mist, and then passed through the layers of canopy branches and leaves. There was a dim and dim light left, but with the vision of the superhuman, he could still see the situation in the distance.

"It's in that direction," he said to Solderling, who was drawing his Trailblazer sword. "Keep going."

Solderin nodded, raised his hand and gave the order to the Ranger soldiers beside him: "Go ahead - open the eyepiece and stay alert!"

This high-level ranger has already seen that his old friend is probably looking for something. His determined attitude and unhesitating tone are not as simple as "sensing abnormal magic fluctuations", but to determine what is ahead. Only things will react, but the tacit understanding 700 years ago made him not ask more, but execute Gawain's order immediately.

The Iron Ranger soldiers activated their tactical goggles one by one, the outer soldiers held up their shields, and the inner soldiers turned on the insurance of the magic terminal, so as to be ready to deal with the hidden threats in the jungle, and at the forefront of the team. , in the depths of the dense forest where the shadows of trees are intertwined, the figure of Amber is constantly disappearing and shifting in the air.

Gawain glanced at Amber who was investigating the situation in front of the team with a bit of tears and laughter—this half-elf would complain for a long time no matter what the circumstances of her work, but as long as she was working, she never delayed her work, and sometimes he didn't. Knowing that this elf's disgrace looks like a sabotage on weekdays is real or just pretending.

No wonder someone in the Government Affairs Office commented that Cecil has two things that are the most unpredictable, one is the dark circles under the big butler Hetty's eyes, and the other is Amber's sabotage attitude. Thinking that he was going to skip work, but finally counted the people who were on duty for a few months and a full month-aside from their behavior, they were like a model worker.

But no matter whether Amber was fishing or not, there was one thing Gawain was sure of: the shame of this seemingly condescending elf was actually quite reliable.

Just as Gawain was thinking about these thoughts, Amber's figure suddenly emerged from the air beside him.

The half-elf lady obviously found something incredible. She stared at her eyes and said in a surprised tone, "Old Zongzi!! There is a big hole in front!!"

"Really? Then it seems that we are on the right track," Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand, "Everyone, speed up!"

Amber was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed in Gawain's footsteps: "Hey? Did you already know? Why aren't you surprised?"

Gawain directly ignored Amber's Bibi, he strode over the uneven potholes and annoying vines in the dense forest, the pioneer's long sword rose up with a scorching magical flame, and all the bushes and rocks in front of him were in an instant. The time was reduced to ashes, and the speed of the team's advance suddenly accelerated, and while advancing, Soldrin noticed the changes in the surrounding environment——

A large number of bushes fell neatly backwards, the weaker trunks were broken by some invisible force at the waist, and even the tall giant trees showed a slanted and toppled posture—

He is no stranger to this phenomenon.

This is caused by a powerful shock wave.

Gawain stopped: "We're here."

Soldering stared at the sight in front of him in a stunned manner, and the elite rangers also exclaimed in a low voice for a moment.

A huge impact crater, the size of which can fit in more than half a block, around the impact crater, countless boulders turned into dust, the ground was cracked, the towering giant trees were broken by the middle, and inside the impact crater, semi-molten rocks and The sintered soil fused into a black solid state, showing the once purgatory temperature here.

"Spirit of the forest..." Thorderling exclaimed, "This... was it bombed by the Creation of Oblivion?"

"The Creation of Annihilation will not form such a neat and single impact crater," Gawain shook his head. He raised his head and looked at the darkening sky, "Something fell from it."

"What? Meteorite?" Solderin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bottom of the crater, "Maybe there will be a star core..."

The amber spirit next to him jumped up at once: "Star core? The kind of star core that can be replaced by half a castle with a slap?!"

Gao Wen smoothly pressed Amber's head back: "If you have a star core, you have to hand it over to the principality. What are you so excited about?"

Then he directly ignored Amber, who started to be loud, and walked towards the impact crater.

Soldrin and the Iron Rangers fighters followed.

Gawain glanced at the big pit and whispered to himself, "No debris, no wreckage..."

All that can be found in the impact crater is the black material formed after the rock and soil are sintered and compacted. Other than that, there is no noticeable debris or debris. That mysterious alien (if it exists), not at all. Leave.

Was it taken away by the giant dragon? That dragon collected so cleanly?

Gao Wen had deep doubts in his heart, because he watched the dragon land in the impact pit with his own eyes. The other party stayed for a short time. Even if he took something away, he should only take the biggest and easiest. The collected part, how can there be no fragments left?

Could it be that there are no foreign objects at all, this is just an energy explosion, so there are no fragments? Or... the aliens did not shatter after experiencing such a terrifying impact and explosion, but were completely taken away by the dragon?

Gawain was making various speculations in his heart, and at the same time continued to scan the vicinity with a satellite perspective, hoping to find the clues left by the dragon, while Solderling led the soldiers to search everywhere at the bottom of the pit, and soon, a A steel ranger soldier exclaimed: "Sir! Look at this!"

Solderin quickly came to the warrior's side, and at a glance he saw what made the other party exclaim:

On the black hardened ground that still exudes a little heat at the bottom of the pit, several huge paw prints are distributed slightly messily.

These paw prints obviously have no meaning to hide themselves at all. Each of them is close to the size of a human torso. What a terrifying behemoth for a short stay.

The Ranger soldier who first spotted the paw print muttered to himself, "What is this left of..."

"It's a dragon," Gawain came to the side of Soldering and the warriors at some point, "I've seen dragons, only those big guys can leave such a big paw print."

Soldering stared at Gawain: "Are you sure?"

Of course Gawain can be sure, after all, he saw it with his own eyes, but he can't say too much here: "80% sure. Don't think that the dragon family is a fantasy, they do exist. Longyan has burned it, and it is still a scorched earth filled with dragon magic."

"Did there even appear to be dragons..." Soldering muttered to himself, "This place... is indeed the boundary of civilization."

At this moment, Amber, who ran to the side because he was ignored by Gawain, suddenly shouted loudly: "Old Zongzi!! I found my baby!!"
