Chapter 1007: Underground Acid Spring

The hunters naturally had the same guess in their minds.

After all, they came here to confirm this guess.

"Xianglan, what do you think?" Gordon took the peeling knife and flicked the red hair.

The hunters around the stump looked at Xianglan and scared it.

"Why, why are you asking meow?!"

"Although." Ansel considered the sentence, "You are the only one among us who has directly faced the Flame King Dragon."

Gail and Ajian, who have a clear understanding of the concept of "ancient dragon", cast a ghost look at Xianglan.

Just this scumbag cat?

Xianglan reacted for several seconds before coming back to her senses, "Then the meow is also a meow?"

Two years ago, in the depths of the Latio volcano, they induced the Tyrannosaurus to return to the nest with Pork Chop, Bone, and Fire Scythe, and they did witness the figures of the Flame Queen Dragon and the Flame King Dragon.

The so-called face-to-face, but just hiding in the cave a few hundred meters away, quietly spying on the three ancient dragon-level creatures fighting, and praying that you will not be blown away by the aftermath of the battle.

Gordon shrugged, "At least you did see it with your own eyes."

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, moved closer to the stump of the tail, and observed.

"The color of this fur is indeed similar to my memory." Xianglan said and sniffed it carefully twice.

In addition to the ubiquitous stench around, it also smelled a faint smell of sulfur.

After thinking about it, it popped out its claws and scratched the remaining dark red leather.

On the tough and rough leather like sandpaper, a few sparks jumped out.

It raised its head, "I think it is indeed the tail of the Flame King Dragon. Although the scale powder that can explode has fallen off, this skin still has the ability to ignite fire."

"This verification method does make some sense." An Xier nodded and said softly.

At least it's more convincing than just talking out of memory.

Gordon carefully examined the skin and hair on the broken tail. "There are a lot of bite marks on the bones at the break. The decay time is at least one month, but the upper limit is not easy to judge, maybe a few months.

It fits the time when the Flame King Dragon flew over the Grand Canyon. It's probably it."

As he said, Gordon cut off a small piece of tissue and tried to put it into the insect guide cage on his belt.

These small creatures can even trace the mud left by the footprints and the fallen scales, so maybe they can help them find the location of the Flame King Dragon's body.

After the skin and flesh fell into the insect guide cage, the shiny insect guides landed on it and remained silent for a long time, without any reaction.

This was the first time the hunters had seen such a situation.

"What's going on?" Gale asked quickly.

Ah Jian pinched his chin and said, "It should be because the distance is too far. The smell environment of the Miasma Valley is quite disturbing, and the detection range of the guide insect is also limited."

Gordon stood up, grabbed the stump of the tail, and threw it on Liefeng's back.

"It's okay, we will continue to move forward as planned. When we get close enough, the guide insect will naturally react."

"That's right."

An Xier rubbed Liefeng's head and stuffed a piece of dried meat into its big mouth as a reward, "Finally found some clues."

The hunters acted quickly, and their goal was still the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley.

With the existence of the stump of the tail and the guide insect, it will be much easier to find the body of the Flame King Dragon, or to say, "confirm whether the Flame King Dragon has become a corpse."

The group continued to move forward along the "fast road". On the way, they saw another trident-shaped tailbone that stood as tall as a mountain.

It also belonged to the Snake King Dragon.

As for whether this completely petrified tailbone and the previous skull belong to the same Tyrannosaurus, it is unknown.

According to scholar Ajian, there are at least four Tyrannosaurus skeletons in the Miasma Valley

On the way, the hunters encountered another "attack" by the Bone Hammer Dragon.

In fact, after gradually getting used to it, it is not difficult to hide from these rolling big guys, but you have to be vigilant at all times.

"What are these?" An Xier asked with a frown.

The road ahead was broken, replaced by a dark yellow giant net entwined between the rocks.

This huge net covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. It looks a bit like a vine, but it has a different elasticity and sticky touch from the vine.

Ajian shrugged, "It's a combination of mycelium, vines, and something else. It's hard to tell. When a large monster like the Bone Hammer Dragon passes by, it may sometimes sink. It's quite interesting.

Let's leave the upper area from here and go down to the bottom of the valley."

"How to get down?"

"Follow me."

The hunters stepped carefully on the giant net and followed Ajian to the center of the giant net.

There was a hole there, and several dark yellow fibers that were no different from the surrounding giant nets hung down like ropes to the bottom of the valley.

"Is this thing also formed naturally?" Gordon asked.

"Of course not, it's the rope we hung up."

Ajian smiled and said, "These fibers are like creepers, growing down along the ropes. When the ropes are corroded by the miasma, these fibers are still there."

"I see."

After checking the filter masks and goggles, the hunters slid down along the fibers and returned to the bottom of the valley smoothly.

The concentration of miasma here is obviously much higher than that of the area where the Fang Pterosaur and the Big Bi Thief Dragon were attacked before. It affects the line of sight like a thick fog, and there is a slight burning sensation on the skin.

Gale, whose skin was half exposed, was numb, literally.

"Let's speed up." Ajian's voice was slightly distorted through the mask. "Quickly pass this section and reach the bottom of the underground. The miasma will dissipate."

The hunters couldn't help but quicken their pace.

During this period, they were attacked by a parasitic dragon wandering nearby.

But this time, they didn't have any more trouble with these annoying guys. After Gordon stepped forward and kicked away the charging Thieving Dragon, the group of people quickly left.

Finally it didn't cause any more trouble.

Almost running into the underground passage that sloped down, the hunter and his party arrived at the underground cave below the valley bottom.

The moment they rushed out of the dark cave passage, their vision became clear.

The thick, annoying miasma was gone, but the environment had changed even more.

Whether it is in the upper part of the Miasma Valley or at the bottom of the valley, gray and dark yellow are always the main colors.

Even in areas where there is no miasma, various hyphae and carpets will stain everything around them with an unpleasant yellowish color.

But it's different here.

A soft indigo shimmer enveloped everything around it. This light came from the shimmering moss on the cave walls and the clear water pools all around.

Everything around them is quiet and beautiful, but the hunters instinctively sense danger.

There is definitely something wrong with these ponds. Normal spring water will not glow.

Gale, who was about to take off the filter mask, stopped, and asked confirmingly, "You can't take off the mask in this place, right?"

"Ah, absolutely not!"

Ajian said quickly: "There is no miasma in this place, not because the miasma cannot penetrate, but because the environment here is so harsh that even the microorganisms in the miasma cannot survive here.

Don't go near those ponds. They look like clear water, but are actually strong acid.

Clear acidic gases are also diffused in the air, which can burn mucous membranes and respiratory tracts. "

Gale gritted his teeth.

The exposed skin on her abdomen and thighs was already a little sickly red, although as a hunter, skin was not considered "delicate".

But this is miasma and acid mist

"Pianlan, hurry up and give us some powder!"

Xianglan rolled her eyes, took out the life dust and threw it on her.
