Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 439: Terrifying when You Think About It

The airship that Gordon and others took when they came here has been waiting in a cave 20 to 30 kilometers away from Lingfeng Mountain Range.

It is very close to the retreat meeting point.

Before nightfall, the airship set sail smoothly - this is the advantage of having a mine at home.

There is no need to consider issues such as routes and take-off time. The pilot and crew are all employees of the company. They can go at any time, which is as convenient as a Maru Bird car.

The professor and others couldn't help but look at Anxier a few more times.

There are young masters and young ladies with such family conditions who come to be hunters, but most of them are just curious to experience life.

After "playing" for a while, they get tired and scared, so they run away.

It can be said that there are only a few people like Anxier who have been promoted to five stars at a young age and are close to the upper level.

In order to avoid being discovered by Lanlong, the airship did not dare to rise too high after taking off.

It was not until the main peak of Lingfeng Mountain Range, which towered into the clouds like a pillar of the sky, disappeared beyond the horizon that everyone was completely relieved.

"Gordon, Pork Chop, tell me everything you saw and experienced in the ruins in as much detail as possible.

Pork Chop briefly told me before, but it was too vague. You hadn't come back at that time, and it was very uneasy.

Don't worry about saying "nonsense". Don't let go of what you feel, think, physical feelings, and even illusions on the psychological and spiritual level.

Don't ignore every detail in all aspects."

The professor prepared paper and pen, intending to record everything they said word for word.

Gordon was a little confused. He was too tired, but he thought that it would take time to summarize and organize the information. If he fell asleep now, the transmission of information would take at least the whole night, so he had to force himself to be energetic.

"Hayata, help me ask the airship crew if there are any vitality drinks."

Hayata looked at Gordon worriedly, but also knew the importance of the matter at the moment, nodded his chin, and went to find the crew.

"Where should I start? Well, let me think about it. At that time, Pig Chop and I tried our best to avoid the attack and escape, and finally arrived near the ruins.

Lanlong hesitated for a moment, and then began to prepare to breathe. It obviously didn't want to get too close to the ruins.

Because the only crack we found before was at the top of the ruins, it was really difficult to climb, so I thought of using Lanlong's attack to destroy the outer wall of the ruins and enter."

Gordon started from using flash bombs to interfere with Lanlong's vision and lure it to break through the outer wall of the ruins.

The professor interrupted and asked questions from time to time, and even asked how Pig Chop thought of using the incendiary agent in the incendiary bomb as a torch.

"Hoo-meow--, does this have anything to do with what happens later?" Pig Chop, who was also very sleepy, yawned and asked.

The professor pushed his glasses and said in a serious manner, "Yes, you may not realize how weird that 'taboo' is.

Even its relics can drive people crazy. Some scholars even have a view that those ominous relics will lure people to explore them.

I want to confirm whether your idea of ​​making torches and starting to explore is completely out of your own subjective will or under some kind of 'guidance'."

Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other, and they both felt uneasy.

"So, I seem to be a little excited in the ruins?"

Gordon hesitated and said, "I'm not sure if this is a manifestation of mental relaxation after temporarily getting rid of the Storm Dragon, or the influence of the Tyrannosaurus Rex armor.

Or, the influence of 'that thing', maybe both?"

"Excited? I'll take note." The professor quickly wrote a few lines.

It's obviously not just "taken note", but many notes have been added.

"And Gordon seemed to be particularly determined to find that thing at that time. If it was normal, I think Gordon would be more cautious." Pig Chop added.

"Uh, isn't this a bit suspicious?"

"No, no, what Pig Chop said is very important." The professor stared at Gordon's eyes, "Recall carefully why you had the idea of ​​'finding something' at that time."

"Senior Gordon, vitality drink" At this time, Hayata came over and handed Gordon a bottle of potion.

"Thank you." Gordon smiled at her, drank most of the bottle in one breath, and gave the rest to Pig Chop.

"Huh, I'm more awake, let me think about it. At first, I wanted to find other exits from the ruins. Later, when Pig Chop mentioned 'sight', I thought that might be the key to our getting rid of Lanlong."

"Why? Why do you think that thing can help you get rid of Lanlong? You didn't know what it was at the time, or even if it existed." The professor asked.

Gordon thought the professor was a little crazy, but he still answered patiently: "I just think that something that makes Lanlong afraid may be able to scare Lanlong away."

"Then why did you change your mind in the end? Pig Chop told me before that it proposed to take away the eyeball to deter Lanlong, but you thought it would further anger Lanlong and rejected the proposal."

Gordon opened his mouth.

Yes, why did his thoughts change 180 degrees?

Gordon tried to recall the situation and said: "I insisted on facing the skull again. After facing the eyeball, I no longer felt fear in my heart.

Then I felt that Lanlong should not be more timid than me, so I changed my mind. That should be it."

"The abnormal point is not after you saw the skull, but before."

At this point, the professor paused, "Let me ask you in a different direction. Do you think that thing is scary? Tell me what you thought when you first saw it."

"Of course it is scary. The worst case scenario I imagined was to encounter some ancient monster, but the ancient monsters I imagined were just bigger, with sharp teeth and claws, powerful attacks, and amazing momentum.

And that head.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't imagine that a dead thing could almost drive us crazy."

At this point, Gordon was suddenly stunned.

His initial idea was to find something that Lanlong was afraid of and use that thing to scare Lanlong away.

But after seeing the head that was far more terrifying than he had imagined, he was surprised that Lanlong would not be afraid of "a head".

So why did he have such a ridiculous idea in the first place? Why did he think that some kind of "dead thing" could scare away an ancient dragon that could easily cause a natural disaster?

"I"

The professor looked at Gordon, who was speechless, and sighed: "In my opinion, your thinking has indeed been affected after entering the ruins.

This influence lasts until you face the skull and evil pupil again and get rid of your fear.

I have to say, Gordon, you are very brave. Most people may have gone crazy when they saw that thing for the first time.

Even if they are not crazy, they will not have the courage to face it again and get rid of their fear.

But if you didn't do it at the time, you might make more seemingly normal, but actually inexplicable choices later."

"Seemingly normal, but actually inexplicable choices" Gordon murmured and repeated the professor's words.

In the ruins, my thoughts did change several times to "seemingly nothing is wrong".

The first one - find that thing and scare away Lanlong.

The later one - ignore the body's warning. It's too embarrassing to be scared away without seeing that thing.

The last one - retreat now, that unknown sense of sight will become a nightmare for life.

But no matter how the thoughts change, the most core goal is only one.

-Keep moving forward to see "it".
