Chapter 1177: Hunting Is Worse than Gold Mining
"Right ahead, in the canyon between the two rocky mountains." Gaba of the Strange Face Clan walked at the front, leading the way.
Ai Bo held the map in his hand and kept comparing the surrounding terrain.
In fact, last night, Gaba had marked on the map all the locations where his tribe found the gold pieces.
However, considering the error problem, it is more accurate to lead the way in person.
Ai Bo was also making subtle adjustments to the marks on the map based on Gaba's guidance in order to draw a more accurate map of the location.
That picture will be the key to their prediction of the trajectory of the Xanhui dragon.
Ancil's eyes kept searching around, trying to find traces left by some giant creatures when they passed by, but unfortunately, so far, he had found nothing.
This phenomenon is both weird and unusual.
The giant creatures on this land are always so good at hiding their whereabouts, just like the molten mountain dragon a few months ago, which was as big as a mountain but never left a single footprint.
If it weren't for a few pieces of fallen volcanic rocks, the investigation team would have almost lost the chase.
Entering this small canyon, which was less than a hundred meters long, Ancier made a gesture, and Gale Fengying stopped, set up her weapon and started to be on guard.
Ansil Aibo followed Gaba to an open space in the middle of the canyon.
At first glance, there is nothing here, but the sand and stones on the ground are shining with golden light under the blazing sunshine of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland.
Anhir's face showed a look of satisfaction.
To him, the value of this bit of gold is irrelevant. The scent of the ancient dragon that may remain on it is what he is after.
I picked up a few slightly larger gold flakes and put them into the insect guide cage. The guide insect landed on it, and after a moment, an inconspicuous blue light flashed.
"Sure enough, the remaining aura is very weak." Ancier said to himself, "It seems that I need to collect a few more places."
Seeing Aibo squatting on the ground, carefully collecting a piece of gold flakes the size of her little finger that she finally found, and using it as a specimen, An Xil said in a loud voice:
"This place is almost ready, ready to go!"
Feng Ying, who was on guard, cast a pitiful look.
Anhir sighed, "As soon as possible, I'll give you five minutes at most."
With that said, he set up the heavy crossbow and took over Feng Ying's place of vigilance.
Feng Ying ran over happily like a puppy and began to pick up the tiny gold particles on the ground.
An Xil glanced at it and couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "When did you pick it up? Shovel up the sand and soil together, put it in a cloth bag, and find a place with water to wash it slowly when you get back!"
"Oh!" Feng Ying quickly ran to Amber to get the tools.
She prepared many tools for this treasure hunt, but she was not very good at using them.
A few minutes later, there was a cloth bag containing more than 20 kilograms of sand on Amber's body. This weight was nothing to it, but it was said that there were many more places.
It bared its teeth and wanted to bite.
Feng Ying rubbed Amber's big head, and made a promise to treat it to a big meal after returning to the stars. She reluctantly looked back at the ground where there was still a little gold sand, and left at An Xil's urging.
In the next two days, the group traveled back and forth on the Gobi Desert in the northern part of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland.
Gaba has a very good memory, and hunters can gain something from almost every place it takes.
It's a pity that there is too little remaining breath on these fine golden gravels. After six or seven locations, the guide worms still failed to activate and start guiding.
This gave Anhir a headache.
All the locations provided by Gaba have been investigated. Next, we can only rely on analyzing the map to try to predict the action path of the Xuanhui Dragon.
An Xil and Ai Bo were busy studying the map, while Gale and Feng Ying were busy panning for gold.
Whenever they have free time, they will take their tools and run to places with water sources to pan for gold sand bit by bit.
After finally sifting all the retrieved sand, I finally harvested a small handful, about two hundred grams of gold sand.
Considering that the gold of Xuanhuilong is not pure gold, but also consumes fire and so on, after calculation, each person can get ten thousand or twenty thousand z?
After doing the calculation, Feng Ying was stunned. After all the effort, I might as well go hunting? Including remuneration and selling materials, why don't you earn more than this?
But Gail looked very happy. She didn't care much about money, she just enjoyed the process of prospecting for gold. It was her childhood dream to be a speculative gold digger explorer.
As for the gold dust, she planned to tie it into a gold chain and decorate it on her mask. She felt that her current mask was too simple and not gorgeous enough.
Feng Ying tried to sell her share of gold sand to An Xil to offset a small part of the debt.
An Xil agreed. According to Feng Ying's cute and pitiful request, she settled with 60% of the gold value, but also confiscated her money.
Looking at Feng Ying, who felt that he had made a profit, with a happy face on his face, Anxier couldn't understand why this guy insisted on killing him to calculate the price of purified gold.
Purified for what? Why shouldn’t the ‘mysterious alloy from ancient dragons’ be worth more than gold?
After throwing the small bag of gold sand into the storage box, Anxier called out to Feng Ying and Gale who were about to get into the tent to sleep.
"Come here and discuss the course of action for tomorrow."
"Oh, just make your decision." Feng Ying waved her hands indifferently.
Gale blew a kiss directly, "Leave it to you, mua~!"
".Come here!" The veins on Anhir's forehead jumped wildly.
Seeing Anxier was angry, Fengying and Gale had to come over obediently, but they kept muttering.
"What a trouble!"
"That's right!"
Anxier took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
The previous silver edge was "three with one", and the current "gold edge" was "one with two", and the mental pressure increased sharply.
Aibo looked at the lazy two with a smile and spread the map in front of them.
"These are the places where we found the gold pieces. Although we can't confirm the order of time, it is roughly a route from north to south.
As for whether it is from south to north or from north to south, there is no way to determine it."
Gail and Fengying stared at the map for a long time, but couldn't see anything.
Anxier sighed, he missed Gordon a little.
Even if he put aside his combat power, Gordon was also good at analyzing traces. If he was called to join the investigation, he might be able to find some clues to determine the direction of Xuanhuilong's movement.
Unfortunately, that guy is now like a male fire dragon guarding his home, and he won't leave the nest easily.
Suddenly, Gale looked up, "I have a solution!"
"Go ahead."
"Let's flip a coin, it's just one of the two."
"."
"That's right!" Feng Ying clapped her hands vigorously, "After confirming whether to go south or north, we will investigate along this route. If we don't find it after two days of searching, we will turn around and change direction!"
An Xier wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back.
He convinced himself in his heart that this is not called taking chances, this is called exhaustive method.
Gale excitedly took out a coin, "The front side is facing north and the back side is facing south. Everyone, look at it, Hayata bless the back side, okay, let's go south!"
"Go south!" Feng Ying responded loudly.
An Xier sighed again, picked up the map again, looked at it carefully, and finally gave up thinking.
"Then go south, go to the southern swamp tomorrow, and continue searching and investigating."
