Chapter 1198 Underground Ruins
Ansir tapped his brow.
He found himself stuck in a fixed mindset.
Before, whether it was to investigate the ecology of the Brilliant Dragon or to find the location of the Golden Country, it was necessary to find the Brilliant Dragon, and naturally they had to chase the Guide Worm.
But now, their main goal is to explore this Golden Country and find the remains of the ancient civilization that exists in it.
Then it is the right approach to avoid the area where the Brilliant Dragon is as much as possible.
"Which direction did Evelyn and the others encounter the remains of the platinum-colored Brilliant Dragon in?" Gordon asked Alva.
Alva flipped out a route map, confirmed it, and said, "Southeast, less than two kilometers away from here in a straight line."
Gordon nodded, "Then let's go in the opposite direction first.
I heard from you that the strength of the platinum-colored Brilliant Dragon is even higher than that of the other individual, not to mention that there are cubs over there, which is probably the focus of the Brilliant Dragon tribe.
Let's stay away from that area first and then go over there."
Everyone agreed.
Feng Ying smiled and flattered, "Master Gordon! It's better for you to command, better than Anxier!"
"Really? I think so too." Gordon agreed shamelessly.
Anxier's face was a little dark, but he didn't say anything.
The hunters took action again.
There were quite a few hunting partners in the team. Gordon arranged for Pork Chop to take Mushrooms and go forward to scout.
Then he arranged for Nanasi to take two hunting cats and lag behind the main force for a distance, so that they could be warned in time when monsters appeared from the rear.
He left Babaka of the Strange Face Tribe in the team, and let it and the sensitive Fang Hounds confirm whether there were any Golden Strange Face Tribe secretly spying on or following them.
As a member of the Strange Face Tribe, it should be easier for it to see through the disguise of the Golden Strange Face Tribe.
With the full vigilance of the hunting partners, and the habit of using the guide insects to lead the way in reverse, they avoided the areas where the Xuanhui Dragon might appear.
This large hunting team explored and advanced for several kilometers without any danger.
Alva was the busiest one in the team. He kept recording the route and terrain while looking for traces of creatures.
Along the way, he found steamed crabs, gold-foiled horseshoe crabs, and several other species unique to the Golden Country more than once.
As it guessed, the Xuanhuilong carried away not only the gold in the Golden Country, but also the entire ecosystem that matched it!
This is a very eye-catching discovery in the biological academic community, but the hunters don't care about it.
Being in a group, the spirit will inevitably relax.
Just like Feng Ying and Gene, who were kicking the gold-foiled horseshoe crabs one by one like two naughty children.
Especially when they found that the gold-foiled horseshoe crabs seemed to always like to crawl with the dragon-killing stone, they began to compare who kicked the gold-foiled horseshoe crabs and dropped the larger dragon-killing stone.
They enjoyed it so much that they were slapped on the head by Gordon before they stopped.
This atmosphere, which was hard to say whether it was relaxed or tense, continued until Pork Chop and Mushroom ran into everyone's sight.
Gordon immediately ordered everyone to stop and stay on the spot.
Pork Chop ran to him on all fours, suppressing his voice and said excitedly: "Ruins meow! I found the ruins meow!"
Alva came over immediately and asked a series of questions, "Where? What era? What's the scale? How is it preserved? What kind of building type is it?"
Pork Chop could only answer the first question, "It's right in front, no more than 200 meters away in a straight line meow! I can't see anything else meow!"
Gordon and Ansel looked at each other and shouted to the hunters behind them, "Speed up!"
The whole team immediately accelerated.
In a few minutes, the hunters came to the ruins that Pork Chop mentioned.
At this time, Gordon and the others understood why Pork Chop said that nothing could be seen.
This ruin is located underground, and the only part that can be seen directly is a square passage like a wellhead, and a downward staircase leading to nowhere.
Alva rushed over and lay at the entrance of the ruins, his face almost touching the bricks, and he even looked like he wanted to lick them.
"I have never seen similar stone bricks. The materials of these bricks are different from those of the Water Forest Pyramid, the Lingfeng Ruins, the Sand Sea Ancient Fortress Ruins, and the Tree Sea Ancient Tower!
There was a completely unknown civilization in the New World? This is impossible."
Let Alva go crazy over there, Gordon looked around, thought for a moment, and said to the hunters:
"It seems that this is a closed underground ruins. What is inside, where it leads to, and whether there are other entrances and exits, all of this is unknown.
It is too dangerous for all personnel to enter together, so the first wave of investigation will be handled by us Silver Edge.
The others stayed near the cave entrance to guard against unexpected situations.
As for the harvest, there is no need to worry. No matter what we find in the ruins, everyone will participate in the distribution together."
"No problem, I will guard the cave entrance, don't worry!" Ted was the first to express his opinion.
The other two teams had no objections.
The three Silver Edges, including Gene who joined the team temporarily, usually have good reputations and no one would think that they were going to seize the treasures in the ruins.
After quickly checking his belongings and equipment, Gordon was about to take the pork chop and enter the passage first, but was suddenly grabbed by Alva.
"I'll go ahead." Alva's tone was very serious.
Gordon shrugged and retreated behind him.
Exploring ruins is different from hunting, and it is more appropriate for Alva, who has more experience in archeology, to direct it.
Alva held the lamp, Gordon and Feng Ying were guarding him on his left and right sides respectively, and Anhiljian was responsible for guarding the rear. The group of people carefully stepped into the dark entrance.
They followed the steps and went all the way down.
The steps were not too long, and after a minute or two, they reached the bottom.
"The one hundred and third floor, including the height of the platform, has descended about thirty meters and advanced about forty meters." Alva muttered in his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was reporting or talking to himself.
Suddenly, there was some "thumping" noise above their heads.
The hunters looked up at the other side at the same time. Ancil's finger was already on the trigger of the heavy ballista.
"Don't be in a hurry to fire, it's not like a large creature." Gordon turned his head and said.
"Jiga!"
Amidst the ear-piercing screams, a shadow with golden reflection swooped down and rushed towards Alva who was holding the lamp.
Just when it was about to bite Alva, Gordon suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed it, and slammed it to the ground.
The winged creature was stronger than he thought. Not only was it not crushed to death, it was also fluttering and preparing to fly again. Gordon quickly stepped on it and firmly stepped on it.
Even so, it continued to use its sharp wing claws, claws, and even teeth to tear and bite, trying to fight back.
Of course, these attacks fell on the [Crazy Pattern] armor and could not even scratch the surface.
Gordon, who could barely see the monster clearly through the light of the insect cage, muttered, "Bat? Such a big bat?"
After coming back to his senses, Alva moved the lantern to the monster, took a look and said: "Ah, it's the Scale Striker, a type of flying dragon that has been extremely miniaturized in order to adapt to the environment.
The color of this one is probably the result of specialization and mutation in the Golden Country.
It probably has nothing to do with the ruins themselves, they just ran in and used this place as their nest. "
"Is this thing considered a flying dragon?" Feng Ying kicked the creature that looked like a big bat in disbelief.
"Biologically, yes." Alva glanced at the golden-scale striker a few more times regretfully, "If we didn't have to explore the ruins, I would definitely capture it."
After confirming that this was not a dangerous creature, at least not to a hunter, Gordon let go of his feet and let it fly away in panic.
Gordon pinched his chin as he looked at the miniature flying dragon that flapped its wings and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"I suddenly had a bold idea, which may greatly improve the efficiency and safety of our exploration of the Golden Land, and even ignore the threat of the Xuanhui Dragon to a large extent."
"Tell me about it?" An Xil looked over.
"Whether it's the Earth Line Cave or this Golden Land, they are quite spacious, right? Can we bring the pterodactyl down too?"
