Chapter 595 In the Yellow Sand

In the end, the chief researcher accepted the conditions set by Anshil.

But what he didn't know was that even if there was no "guild mission" as a reward, Gordon, as the captain, would most likely accept this commission in the end.

Because it was too interesting!

The fortress of ancient civilization, the mysterious disappearance of mechanical beasts, and the relics full of doubts

All of these sounded like stories in legends.

The words of the master before woke him up.

It is not necessary to aim to become stronger in everything, so utilitarian, occasionally doing things just out of interest, maybe you can see some different scenery.

Even if you don't get any benefits in the end, it's only in exchange for an exclamation of "nature is so wonderful", isn't it also very interesting?

Of course, the above thoughts only represent Gordon himself.

From Anshil's perspective, this is simply an intermittent convulsion under the influence of romanticism.

Since the main purpose of this mission is exploration, not fighting, Gordon and his team did not prepare too many combat props, but instead a large amount of supplies.

The characteristics of the desert area with high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night are very annoying. You must bring both cold and hot drinks, as well as lighting equipment, food, ammunition, etc.

Ansel himself is a cautious person who likes to prepare more of everything. The so-called "necessary" supplies almost filled up a small cart.

Gordon was speechless, but Ansel's caution did play a big role more than once.

Carry more, carry more, get used to it. Swordsmen in non-combat states often have to act as cattle and horses to carry heavy objects in the team.

"Woof!"

Gordon, who was about to pick up the big bags and carry them on his back, suddenly felt something bumping his back.

He turned his head and saw the big head of Liefeng, who was looking at him with his tongue out, as if questioning why he wanted to steal his "toys".

"Huh?"

"What's that? Hurry up and put all these on Liefeng's back!"

Anxier brought another box of ammunition, "That's about it. We're traveling light this time, so we won't bring too many crossbow bullets."

"One, two, three"

Gordon counted the ammunition boxes, "Almost six bases of ammunition, redefining traveling light, right?"

"You don't need to carry it, most of it will be stored in the camp first."

Anxier checked the saddle and hooks on Liefeng's back, "Put it on it now, just like adding weight and exercising muscles."

Gordon subconsciously looked down at his muscles when he heard it, and fell into deep thought.

I can only say that Anxier has made great contributions to his current physique.

"Meow!"

Pork Chop happily jumped on Liefeng's back.

Originally, it was not familiar with Liefeng, but after a few days of getting along, Liefeng, who was a little bit silly, had become its loyal little brother.

Anxier was also happy to see this scene.

In the past few months, he spent too much time helping Liefeng lose weight, exercise his bones and muscles, and adjust his physical condition.

In terms of various tactics, he has not had time to teach Liefeng too much.

Today, Liefeng's fighting style highlights the word "reckless". He bites wherever he is pointed at with a whistle, and is very obedient.

But once he encounters a more complicated situation, he always seems a little honest and straightforward.

However, when Pig Chop rides on Liefeng, everything is different.

It is basically equivalent to Pig Chop having sharp teeth and claws and hundreds of kilograms of muscles, and Liefeng having an external brain.

When Gordon had a seizure two days ago, he deliberately tried it.

Without using weapons, Gordon can press Liefeng to hit him, but when Pig Chop rides on Liefeng, Liefeng immediately chases Gordon.

After a busy time, the two finally fixed all the big and small bags on Liefeng.

Looking at the pile of luggage like a small mountain, Gordon was a little worried that Liefeng couldn't carry it. If the same amount of luggage was piled on Amber, it would probably be bitten by it.

Liefeng jumped a little, and there was a muffled "bang" sound under his feet. The suitcases on his back collided with each other, making a "clattering" sound.

Liefeng, who was only a teenager in terms of age, seemed to find it very interesting and jumped twice. Anxier hurriedly went up and slapped it twice.

Ammunition boxes are for you to play with like this?

Freed from the heavy luggage, Gordon rubbed Liefeng's big head hard.

"Let's go!"

In the sky, an airship flew over the vast ruins plain.

This time, Gordon and his team were no longer riding the most common small airship, but a transport airship with a side length of nearly 20 meters.

In addition to the two hunters of the Silver Edge team and their hunting partners, the airship also carried several scholars, as well as some logistics personnel and supplies.

They will build a fixed camp in the area that has been confirmed to be safe to provide support for subsequent exploration and excavation.

According to the chief researcher, if they can find more valuable cultural relics or knowledge in this ruins.

This camp will continue to expand until it is built into a comprehensive camp that can accommodate several archaeological teams for a long time, integrating multiple functions such as supply, transit, and research.

If there is no well, then withdraw, what else can you do?

As the airship continued to move south, the iron-rich red soil of the ruins plain gradually became gray and barren.

The green vegetation was disappearing, the wind was blowing the yellow sand, and the vision became blurred.

When the voyage approached the end, a towering ruin that blended with the color of the yellow sand appeared at the end of the vision.

"It's so big!"

Pork chop leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the ruins in the distance, "It feels much bigger than the fortress of Minagard!"

"Yeah."

Gordon put down the telescope, "It's hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources people spent at that time to build this fortress."

Ansel leaned on the side with his arms folded, and said in a flat tone: "No matter how strong the fortress is, it will eventually return to dust under the erosion of time and yellow sand."

"Good guy, are you so negative?"

Gordon hooked Ansel's shoulder and smiled: "Maybe in a few thousand years, it will really become part of the desert, but now it is still standing there, and it can even still be a line of defense to block the old mountain dragon, right?"

Ansel reluctantly moved Gordon's arm away, "I just sighed casually, do you need you to tell me these big truths?"

"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"

The sound of pulling the fog bell sounded, which was also the signal for the airship to land.

The transport airship slowly lowered its altitude, the heat waves on the ground rose, and a gust of wind blew, causing the airship to sway from side to side.

Gordon and the others quickly grabbed the side of the ship to stabilize their bodies.

The airship continued to descend against the gust of wind, and finally landed smoothly on a flat open space at the corner of the wall of the ancient fortress ruins.

The crew members systematically unloaded the light gas in the airbag and fixed the cabin with thick cables to prevent it from being blown over by strong winds.

Gordon gave a thumbs up to the driver behind the steering wheel, "Should I say that you are worthy of being the airship pilot of Longliyuan? You can land in such a strong wind.

Once when we came to the Great Desert, we encountered gusts of wind when landing the airship, and we couldn't land. We all jumped down by rope."

An Xier pushed Gordon.

"Are you praising others or yourself? Stop talking nonsense, let's go down!"
