Chapter 1056 Joining in the Fun
Riding on the pterosaur, a little more than half a day later, the hunters of the special investigation team arrived at the investigation team camp located in the northern part of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.
Before, when there were only a dozen or so people, the members of the investigation team lived crowded together in the camp. After all, that was the safest way.
However, as the number of investigators who came to support gradually increased, some people set up tents in the shelter of the small canyon where the camp was located, and some people moved to other camps farther away.
The small canyon now looks a bit lively, and a temporary dragon shed has even been set up for the pterosaurs to rest.
Landing in the small canyon, Gordon looked around. He once again felt deeply that the New World Survey Team was no longer the small and medium-sized team that was short of manpower.
The high-ranking hunters who came with him on this trip were not "all together".
The Alcohol Team was ordered to deal with an incident in which a Explosive Scale Dragon invaded the ancient tree forest. The existence of the Explosive Scale Dragon seriously affected the investigation team's collection of war preparation materials, and the investigation team decided to punish it.
In the past few years, the Alcohol Team has hunted many Explosive Scale Dragons and has become an expert in dealing with Explosive Scale Dragon problems.
The armor of the Explosive Scale Dragon series has become the "standard" equipment of their team, which matches their rough style.
Aziz is also very busy, and this time it’s not just about fishing.
Since Laoshanosaurus landed in the New World, the coastline on the southern side of the New World has become increasingly chaotic.
Multi-headed sea dragon monsters appear in coastal areas and even build nests. He is leading several young hunters who are good at water fighting to clean up.
Therefore, the only hunters from the special investigation team who came to the Big Ant Mound Wasteland were the three of them Yin Bian, plus Evelin and his wife.
"Let's go see Feng Ying and the three uncles (Sunshine, Happy, and Cheerful) first to confirm the progress of the investigation." After giving the Sour Pterodactyl a gesture to let it go foraging on its own, Gordon said to his companions .
Naturally, the others had no objections, and the five of them came to the camp in the canyon.
In a large tent outside the camp, they met the three dragon-human scholars who were inseparable.
The three uncles were lying on a huge map, summarizing the information reported by each team.
The map is so densely packed with circles, arrows and notes that it makes people dizzy.
Gordon and others said hello.
The old man from the dragon tribe wearing a turban jumped up and said in a high voice: "You are here too, come here quickly, we just made some new discoveries!"
As he said that, the three uncles started drawing pictures on the map.
The general meaning is that Feng Ying and the others discovered a large piece of volcanic stone before, and with that piece of volcanic stone as the center, the investigators launched a dragnet-style investigation.
Continuously, the investigators discovered a lot of scattered volcanic debris. After connecting these locations, they obtained an intermittent line. This line was probably the route of the Laoshan Dragon.
Anhil glanced at the map, "In this way, wouldn't it be easy to confirm the whereabouts of the Molten Mountain Dragon?"
"Theoretically, that's the case." The dragon scholar wearing a strange dust mask sighed: "But I don't know why, we sent people to search repeatedly on the predicted route, but we couldn't find the big guy.
It's very likely that it burrowed into the ground. It's unbelievable that a monster of that size can actually burrow into the ground. "
Sophia, who was the editor of Hayata this time, adjusted her glasses and said: "Did such a majestic creature burrow into the ground without leaving any obvious traces?"
It was a super giant ancient dragon with a head and body length of over 250 meters and a height of nearly 150 meters.
Fengshan Dragon lay beside it, looking like a fat-headed fish.
"Of course there are traces, but the northern part of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland is a typical karst landform, with a large number of underground caves of staggering scale. Because of this, ground subsidence and ground fissures occur frequently.
It can be said that there are caves and rifts everywhere, and we can only check them one by one, so the progress is slow. "
"So that's it." Gordon pondered, but there were more and more doubts in his heart.
He couldn't help but flash that word again in his mind - veins of the earth.
In other words, Leyline Corridor.
Could it be that the Molten Dragon moved through the Earth Corridor, so it had never been discovered? But the Leyline Corridor is very deep underground. Even if the Molten Dragon can get in, it probably won't be able to get in and out frequently.
After thinking for a moment, Gordon, who couldn't come up with an answer, simply stopped worrying and said, "Please assign us a task. The sooner we find the Laoshan Dragon, the sooner targeted reconnaissance can begin."
At this moment, someone opened the tent door and walked in.
When he subconsciously turned around and saw the person coming, Gordon couldn't help but be surprised, "Mr. Mecca?!"
The last time I saw this man, I had just arrived in the New World. After that, this dragon hunter never returned to the stars.
"It's Gordon." The dragon hunter said hello, "I've heard about the ancient dragon people. It's no wonder the commander-in-chief sent so many elites here."
Out of caution, Ancier asked confirmingly, "Mr. Mecca, do you think the 'veins of the earth' mentioned by the ancient dragon people refer to the earth vein corridor?"
"There is no doubt." Mecca nodded: "The veins of the earth, the corridor of the earth, and the river of life all refer to the same thing."
"If the Lava Dragon dies deep in the Earth Corridor, the burst of energy will destroy the entire New World. Do you think this is credible?" Hayata couldn't help but ask.
Mecca thought for a moment, "I can only say that there is such a possibility. It is not that the power of the Molten Mountain Dragon itself is enough to destroy the New World. It is more like a fuse, or a weight that destroys the balance.
Its death is likely to cause a series of events such as changes in the earth veins, ancient dragon riots, and volcanic eruptions. By then, the scene of the destruction of the New World is not difficult to imagine."
The atmosphere in the tent became more solemn.
"But there is also good news." The Dragon Hunter suddenly changed the subject, "Not long ago, we found a rift valley with a large number of volcanic rock fragments scattered in it.
From the scale of the rift valley, the Molten Mountain Dragon may have slept in it for a while. If we look in this direction, we may soon find its location."
"Where is it!" The cheerful Dragon Scholar asked loudly.
Mecca walked to the map and marked the location.
"Is this direction the Grand Canyon?" Another old man shouted with his eyes wide open.
"It's possible!"
"Call back the investigators heading south and strengthen the investigation of the route to the Grand Canyon!"
"We can also participate in the investigation." Evelyn took the initiative to say.
The cheerful dragon scholar was about to agree when several more people broke into the tent.
It was Feng Ying, Ai Bo, and a young dragon man with a headscarf and a panicked look (a biologist whose whereabouts were unknown).
"In the swamp area in the south, we have an important discovery!" Feng Ying said in a hurried tone, her hair was messy, and it was obvious that she had just ridden a pterosaur and rushed all the way back.
"Ah? The swamp in the south?" The three uncles were full of questions.
We just determined the direction of investigation to the north, and you made an important discovery in the south? !
"The sand dragon was killed! But it was not the mud fish dragon, it was that guy! That terrible guy!" The young dragon scholar was incoherent, as if he was stimulated by something.
Gordon frowned, "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened."
Feng Ying didn't bother to say hello, and quickly explained: "We found a lot of bone spines on a dead sand dragon. When approaching the sand dragon's body, the guide worm also emitted a blue light.
Master Gordon, you said that the blue light represents the ancient dragon species, right?"
Gordon and the other two looked at each other.
"Did you bring back the specimens of the bone spines you mentioned?" Hayata asked.
"Yes, yes, Aibo!"
"Here!" Aibo hurriedly took out a piece of black bone spine fragment from his bag.
Gordon frowned and reached out to take the fragment.
The scar on his cheek hurt slightly.
"Are you here to join in the fun too?"
ps. The Easter egg chapter is the last picture in this set, Gordon's picture, but to be honest, I am very dissatisfied with this picture. The style of this painter is too fresh and fresh, not a tough guy at all orz, the others are okay, Gordon is really not suitable.
So I asked another friend to draw a new one. Although the style is different, the image is more in line with the original =v=
