Chapter 1006 The Remaining Tail

"Quick! Run! Meow! It's coming again, meow!!" Xianglan jumped up and jumped up.

The fierce wind roared loudly.

Less than two minutes ago, the hunters, who had just escaped an "attack" and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly took action again.

There was absolutely no way to stay on the flat mountain road that looked like a man-made road. With the help of the catapult rope, they quickly climbed up the rock platforms on both sides of the road.

Ajian's movements were not slow at all. In fact, because he was traveling light and without the burden of heavy protective gear and weapons, he climbed to the safe rock wall faster than the hunters.

The ground trembled slightly, and with the sound of "booming", it seemed that the rollers made entirely of bones rolled rapidly on the mountain road they had walked on before.

Look at those sharp bone thorns. If they were hit, it would not be as simple as turning into a pancake.

"Boom boom boom--!"

The only thing to be thankful for was that the giant beast covered with bones was not coming for them. It was really just passing by.

The hunters, who were still frightened, did not return to the mountain trail immediately this time. Instead, they stayed on the ledge for a few more minutes, and after confirming that the Skull Hammer Dragon had really rolled away, they carefully jumped back to the ground.

"Oh my god, it's not the same Skull Hammer Dragon, why do we feel that the one we passed by the second time is bigger?" Gail looked at the direction where the Bone Hammer Dragon left and patted his chest.

"The second one is indeed bigger."

Hayata couldn't help but ask Ajian, who was holding a small notebook and recording something, "Mr. Ajian, are there so many Bone Hammer Dragons here?"

One after another?

If it really keeps this frequency, it's better to go back to the bottom of the valley and walk through the miasma!

"Well, cough, it's not that bad. Maybe we are very lucky. We met two in a row not long after we came up.

Bone Hammer Dragons are solitary. This kind of chasing behavior is most likely for courtship." Ajian closed the notebook and explained with a dry laugh.

"This way of chasing girls is not quite right. Isn't this a pervert." Gail muttered.

"Well, given the difference between male and female Bone Hammer Dragons, the probability that the larger one chasing behind is a female is higher."

"Tsk, tsk, I've learned something new."

"If we hurry from the upper level, how long will it take to reach the core area?" Gordon unfolded the map and asked Ajian.

Ajian came over and pointed on the map, "From here, we will go south along the 'fast road'. We will make a huge arc and then pass a bone mound.

We must be careful there, because that is the favorite foraging place of the Bone Hammer Dragon. After passing the bone mound, continue to walk forward for a while.

Then we can prepare to return to the bottom of the valley, which is very close to the core area.

The whole journey will take about three or four hours."

"Is it possible to bypass the bone mound?" Ansel came over and asked.

He had just witnessed the power of the skeleton wheel a few minutes ago, and he didn't want to "deal with" a fat guy like the Bone Hammer Dragon with thick skin and flesh.

The bones sticking to his body are like armor, which can greatly reduce the power of crossbow bullets, coupled with the powerful vitality of the beast dragon species.

It's a thankless task and a waste of ammunition.

"You can't get around it. You can think of this road as a 'fast track' specially built by the Bone Hammer Dragons to quickly get to the canteen."

Ajian pointed to the arc-shaped road on the map that seemed to be drawn with a compass, and continued: "The main advantage of moving in the upper layer is that this road is convenient for walking.

Without this road, let alone a road, many places are simply inaccessible. It's better to go back to the bottom of the valley and drill the miasma.

But don't worry too much, the Bone Hammer Dragon is still relatively docile.

Even if you meet them in the bone mound, don't do anything to stimulate them, such as getting too close to touch their buttocks, shouting, etc., they generally won't take the initiative to attack."

"This is a bit similar to the Explosive Hammer Dragon." Gordon smiled.

One specializes in eating ore, and the other specializes in eating bones, which highlights the fact that they are not competitive.

"Xianglan, Sandstone, move forward 50 meters, Liefeng is 50 meters behind the team, pay attention to vibration and rolling sounds, and give an alarm immediately if there is any situation.

For us, we should form a compact formation and move quickly."

Gordon stepped on the ground under his feet, which was made of mycelium, vines, soil and bone hammer dragon bone oil, and then repeatedly crushed and rolled to make it flat and slightly elastic.

He exhaled, "It's comfortable to walk on this road, but we don't want to stay here for long."

"I understand."

The group quickly adjusted their formation and accelerated their actions.

After that, they encountered two more "attacks" by the skeleton wheels. Fortunately, with the warning of their hunting partners, they were safe.

A few hours later, they came to the bone mound that Ajian mentioned.

Ajian pointed upwards, and the hunters looked up. The next second, they were all stunned and froze in place.

The dome above was not made of rocks, but a skull maxilla that was so large that it was unimaginable.

Judging from the size of the skull, even the largest monster they had ever encountered, Lingshan Dragon, was far from comparable to the owner of this skull.

A small amount of rain from the Coral Plateau fell on the skull, then dripped down the remaining fangs on the skull, gathering into a black pond on the ground.

Although dirty, this may be the only source of water for nearby creatures.

"This is the skeleton of the Snake King Dragon." Ajian explained simply, "The mainstream view is that they are the source of the formation of the Miasma Valley and even the entire New World ecosystem."

"It turns out that there are such creatures in the world." Gordon, who came back to his senses after a long while, murmured with emotion.

All around, countless complete, broken, fresh, or rotten dark yellow skeletons were mixed together, layered on top of each other, and it was very difficult to walk among them.

Some bones still had rotten meat and fascia remnants. Some huge beetles with shiny shells and sharp legs crawled among the skeletons, scraping the rotten meat.

The pungent stench in the air was unbearable, and the hunters put on filtering masks one after another.

"Lucky~, there's no Bone Hammer Dragon." Ajian said with a smile: "This is a treasure land. If you're lucky, you can dig out very high-quality bone materials.

The same goes for those giant beetles. Their feathers are thin and tough, and they can be used in many equipment."

Gordon thought about it, and said to his companions with a smile: "It's not a good thing to come to a treasure land empty-handed. I'll be on guard, and everyone will disperse and look for it. Maybe we can dig out something good."

Ansel looked around, "I'm not interested in bone materials. There are two passages. We will each guard one place, and it's best not to take too long."

"Fifteen minutes, we'll leave in a quarter of an hour." Gordon said to everyone.

The hunters dispersed.

Gail rubbed his hands, squatted on the ground with sandstone, and searched left and right. Hayata was not interested in those bones. Her attention was on those beetles.

To make the armor of the Fierce Claw Dragon, those feathers might be used.

Xianglan was very conflicted. It liked to hunt for treasures, but it hated smelly and dirty things. Liefeng didn't care much about these things and ran around among the bones.

Of course, Liefeng didn't eat them either. Liefeng, who was raised by Anxier, didn't like these rotten bones.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Gordon shouted to remind everyone that the time was up.

Hayata smiled with satisfaction. Looking at the insect corpses on the ground, she should have collected good materials.

Gail Xianglan was full of regret. There were many high-quality bone materials, but the value was not enough for them to take them all the way across the mountains and travel along the way.

Sandstone may be the one with the biggest harvest. The main component of its protective shield is various animal bones.

Bones of all sizes and shapes can be found here. It has collected a lot. When it returns to the camp later, it will improve its beloved shield.

Ajian Ajian dozed off.

The group gathered together and was about to leave, but suddenly found that Liefeng had not returned to the team.

Anxier frowned and blew the whistle.

"Woof! Woof!" Liefeng's loud shouts came from the pile of bones in the distance.

Anyone could hear the excitement in the shouts.

Everyone gathered around and found that Liefeng was trying hard to drag something out of the pile of bones.

It was a tailbone with a little bit of skin. The skin was broken but still tough. Even with Liefeng's bite force, it was difficult to tear it apart. There were a few tufts of red tail hair left at the end.
