Chapter 1249: Shipwreck in the Glacier

Hayata arranged the hunters to stay on the spot, and then ordered the hounds and cats to follow the scent trail for reconnaissance.

After confirming that the monster was not lurking nearby, but had really left, the alert was lifted.

The team continued to move forward.

As Alva walked, he drew a topographic map, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Master Yuanye, although I don't know much about geology, do you think the terrain here is a bit..."

"Well, I understand what you mean." Master Yuanye responded.

Pausing and touching the almost completely vertical ice wall beside her, she continued: "After arriving at the ice field, we found that the geological changes in this land are very drastic.

The snow forest area near the south, where the Yuechen base is located, is relatively good.

The northern mountains and the glacier area here are particularly obvious, and there seems to be a kind of "unnatural" feeling."

"This phenomenon reminds me of two places."

"What?"

"The Grand Canyon and the Coral Plateau." Alva put down the paper and pen to record the terrain and looked up at the towering ice wall.

Master Yuanye was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's true. We old guys have been in the New World for too long, and we are no longer surprised by those abnormal terrains.

Hearing you say this, I remembered that in the early days of the investigation team, investigating the cause of the formation of the Grand Canyon was one of the important topics.

It's a pity that there has been no progress since then, so we had to hastily finish it."

"Do you think it is possible that the drastic geological changes on both sides are caused by the same reason? Or, in other words, the same source?"

Master Yuanye was silent for a few seconds, "This possibility is not ruled out."

After that, the two did not continue to discuss this topic. In the absence of necessary clues and evidence, the extra discussion can only be called speculation, which has no practical significance.

The group traveled between the glaciers and the ice caves that can be seen everywhere for a while.

Finally, they came to an area surrounded by glaciers, with a large rift formed by the collapse of the glacier in the center.

Here, they made an important discovery-a wooden ship tilted at the bottom of the rift.

The hull is about 30 meters long, which is a certain gap from the 50-meter ocean-going giant ship used by the investigation team, but it can definitely be called a large ship.

"It doesn't look like the investigation team's ship?" After saying this subconsciously, Apo realized that he had said nonsense.

"Well, we found it."

A trace of complex emotions flashed in Master Yuanye's eyes, "It's a longer time. This is the ship of the expedition team."

"It's quite far from the coast, it's not an airship, how did this ship get up?" Gene had a question mark on his face.

Others had similar questions in their hearts, but no one could answer them.

"Let's go down and take a look."

The group helped each other and went down to the ice valley with ropes.

They came to the side of the ship. The wooden hull did not rot under the low temperature, but the knife-like wind and snow continued to erode it, making it look dilapidated.

Master Yuanye walked to the side of the ship, stretched out his hand to brush away the snow, and a mottled mark appeared on the side of the ship.

The main body of the emblem was a cross-shaped star.

Several people couldn't help but look at Master Yuanye.

You know, the emblem of the first group was also a cross star.

Understanding the doubts in the hearts of the young people, Master Yuanye smiled and said: "In our time, the route to the New World was not as clear as it is now, but many adventure groups have tried to come here.

At that time, the only thing that could guide the direction was the blue star hanging high in the sky.

So most of the expedition teams that came to the New World would use the cross star as a flag.

Although the first New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team was supported by the guild and was considered an official investigation team, it was essentially a large-scale expedition team, so."

Feng Ying blinked after hearing this, "Since it is the same era, is there anyone you know in this expedition team?"

"Feng Ying." Hayata gave her a reproachful look.

The expedition team's ship actually appeared at the bottom of the glacier, so the members of the expedition team should have died.

Feng Ying's question was a bit inappropriate.

Feng Ying, who realized her problem, quickly said "sorry".

"It's okay. There is indeed a guy I know. When I first arrived in the New World, I thought that maybe we would have a chance to meet here." Master Yuanye smiled freely.

"Is that so?" Feng Ying scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing what to say.

"Everyone, surround this ship and conduct separate investigations. Hunters should be good guards and give warnings at any time in case of accidents." Hayata said.

The team dispersed and went into the cabin, deck and other areas to investigate.

It turned out that there were almost no items left in the cabin, as if they had been moved away long ago, and no bodies were found.

This made everyone feel a little subtle.

You can imagine such a scene.

- The glaciers are rising, the ocean has turned into the land, the big ship is trapped, and the members of the expedition team survived by chance. They took away all the materials they could use and conducted difficult investigations in this icy and snowy land to survive.

It is hard to say whether this is lucky or unfortunate.

"Come and see this!"

Hearing Gene howl, everyone gathered around.

He dug out a strange stone with a texture like obsidian but colorful, and a piece of tattered leather from a pile of ice that seemed to be deliberately piled up.

"Ah! This is it!" After seeing the stone, Ai Bo hurriedly took out a slightly smaller stone from his bag, but with the same material.

"This is what my grandfather left me! He said this was a mystery he had not been able to solve, and he said he would give it to me!" Ai Bo was very excited.

As a former member of the first group, the secret hidden in the stone left by her grandfather was one of the important reasons that drove her to join the investigation team and come to the New World.

"Did that glutton give it to you?" Master Yuanye smiled, and he was obviously impressed by the stone.

She unfolded the tattered leather, on which were some words and pictures drawn. Due to the erosion of time and wind and frost, the handwriting had long been blurred.

"Sure enough, it's that guy's handwriting." Master Yuanye sighed.

Alva leaned over and began to read: ".A large number of monsters were singing and found strange stones formed in special environments. We need to investigate further.

The rest of the content is unclear. The strange stone refers to this."

Alva leaned over to Ai Bo again, "Based on my limited geological knowledge, the texture of this stone is somewhat similar to obsidian. It was formed after the magma cooled?"

However, Ai Bo didn't listen to the second half of his words at all. Her mind was occupied by the word "singing".

Xuan and Feng Ying also seemed to be a little concerned.

The butterfly-wing-shaped headdress on the top of the head fluttered, and Xuan said: "When Feng Piaolong crossed the sea, we heard a sound similar to "song". We hid in the sound of the wind."

"Yeah! I heard it too!" Feng Ying nodded quickly.

"Monsters are rioting, wind dragons are migrating, could all this be caused by that 'song'?" Hayata guessed, "If that 'song' is some kind of ancient dragon's ability, everything makes sense."

"It's possible." Gale nodded seriously.

Based on their experience in solving ancient dragon incidents over the years, if they encounter some "supernatural" unknown phenomena, it will definitely fall on the head of an ancient dragon species, or some powerful ancient dragon-level creatures.

This speculation caused everyone to fall into a brief silence.

Finally, Hayata, the leader of the hunters in this team, broke the silence, "Master Yuanye, what should we do next?"

Master Yuanye exhaled.

"Let's check if there are any clues missing in the cabin. Let's return to the Yuechen base first."

Ps.

This chapter describes a lot of the plot in the game, but there is no way to save it. Without this plot as an explanation, readers who have not played the world may be confused emmmm
