Chapter 606 Biological Problems
Just two days after returning to Bernard Village, Gordon and Ancil received a summons letter from East Doruma, the headquarters of the Hunter Guild.
They thought that another combat mission had been assigned, but it wasn't until they read the contents of the letter that the two of them realized that the only purpose of calling the guild this time was for them to go there.
It's a question.
They were not the only ones who went with them, there were also the chief researcher of Longli Academy, several paleontologists, Ms. Duda, the leader of the archaeological team, and several members of the archaeological team.
Obviously, the guild headquarters attaches great importance to the information about the mysterious monster they encountered this time.
It is not enough to have already compiled detailed information and sent it to someone. The person concerned must also be present in person for questioning.
In fact, it is understandable.
There are too many things about the mysterious monster that can make the guild leaders feel afraid. Just looking at the words and pictures in the paper report always makes people feel unreal.
In pursuit of efficiency, the chief researcher also specially arranged a high-speed airship, which made the journey to East Doruma boring.
The whole journey can be roughly summarized as boarding the skyboat, watching the sky for a while, taking a nap, and then watching the clouds for a while.
"There is always a feeling of 'Why are we here again?'" Gordon muttered as he walked off the landing pad.
"I feel like meow too."
"Speaking of which, is it really necessary to call Gale over by name? He can't speak." Gordon glanced at Gale, who was going crazy on the airboat and spreading joy around, and felt that the little guy was a bit pitiful.
Just like Anhil didn't like riding in a bumpy minecart, Gale didn't like staying in a small empty boat cabin either.
"I don't know, maybe there is some special purpose." Anhil shrugged.
The group of people didn't go anywhere after getting off the airship. The guild staff who had been waiting by the airship platform led them directly to the Grand Hall.
Many people are already waiting in the hall, which is not exquisite or gorgeous, but is grand enough.
Gordon, who walked into the hall, quickly scanned these people and found that most of them were scholars. Judging from the style of their uniforms, they were from the Wangli Paleontology Scribes Team, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Longli Academy.
There were also a small number of people whose uniforms Gordon didn't recognize, and they might be from certain subdivisions.
Hey, are there any acquaintances?
Gordon raised his hand as a greeting to the old professor with whom he had a considerable degree of fate.
The other party also nodded slightly in greeting.
"Finally I've waited for you."
The great elder's voice rumbled, "You have been studying the report from the ancient village ruins archaeological team for several days. Now the person involved is here. I don't want to talk nonsense. The inquiry will officially begin."
Many scholars raised their hands, the more impatient ones stood up, and the even more impatient ones spoke directly.
"Are there any samples? Are there any biological samples?"
"Is there any more specific size information about the mysterious monster described in the report?!"
"Among conventional large monsters, it can barely be considered a middle-to-lower size. Can it really independently control a mechanical behemoth the size of a super-giant ancient dragon?
No offense intended, but is it possible for multiple creatures of the same type to cooperate in operations? "
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, cooperating with each other to operate the mechanical behemoths? This kind of thing is difficult for humans with professional training to do, let alone monsters!"
"Why do you think that monsters' IQ and learning ability must be lower than humans?"
"."
"."
It was still a question-only session. Before Gordon and other participants had time to answer, the scholars who asked the questions were already quarreling with each other.
"quiet!"
The elder, who had a headache due to the quarrel, was furious. He pointed at the guild director and asked the latter to serve as the host and organize the inquiry.
The inquiry meeting finally became orderly.
Regarding the biological tissue specimens of the golden beetle and the silk samples, paleontological researchers from the Longli Academy have been studying them for several days. Now they have published the research report and shared some of the samples.
The Paleontology Scribes Team and the scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau immediately asked people to bring in some instruments and reagents, and started experiments on the spot. The professor Gordon and the others were familiar with was also one of them.
A group of old men and women made a mess in the hall.
Fortunately, the great elder doesn't care about this.
Inquiry meetings are also being held simultaneously.
Gordon finally knew what the purpose of these scholars was in calling Li Feng here.
They also specially made a few targets made of solid wood covered with monster skins for the strong wind to chew on, for the pigs to scratch, and for themselves and Ancil to attack with weapons.
I should hope to roughly confirm the toughness of the mysterious monster's carapace through comparison.
The inquiry meeting lasted for most of the day in a chaotic manner.
The staff of the guild had to bring bread and other convenient food to prevent these precious old scholars from eating too much.
What follows is an even more confusing debate.
From this moment on, Gordon and the others, one cat and one dog, were not very involved.
Even Anhil, the most knowledgeable among them, was not even at the level of a student in front of these real scholars.
The sharp-eyed Pork Chop also discovered something interesting.
The Great Elder, who was always sitting on the stone platform, had his eyebrows lowered as always, and his long snow-white eyebrows covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to notice.
He had already dozed off.
The meeting lasted from day to night, and the scholars finally reached relatively unified opinions on some aspects of the content.
I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t sleep too deeply, or because he has been sitting in that position for hundreds of years and has mastered this “special skill”.
The elder woke up without any abnormality, his tone was still calm, “Everyone, tell me your conclusions, you know what I care about.”
“Elder.”
The professor who was finally elected as the summary speaker stepped forward, his voice was very hoarse, and it was obvious that he had been shouting before, “First of all, it’s about the classification of this creature.
More than two-thirds of scholars believe that this mysterious monster should not be counted as an ancient dragon species.
Even when operating giant machinery, its strength is even higher than many ancient dragon species monsters, but it has very obvious beetle species biological characteristics.
According to the fact that Hunter Gordon used dragon attribute weapons to attack, there was no trigger at all, so there should be no dragon attribute energy in his body, so we identified it as a beetle species.”
“Well”
The elder responded patiently.
From his perspective, the only two valuable parts of the professor's summary are "having a very strong strength compared to ancient dragon creatures" and "not weaker than dragons."
The professor continued the report, which was already concise and concise enough in the scholars' opinion.
"Considering its special ability to collect and manipulate ruins to form a 'mechanical ruins city', and its role as the 'core' of the ruins city, it can also be understood as the 'power' and 'spirit' of the ruins city."
"Get to the point!"
"Well, we have determined its scientific name as 'Adoralu Ka', which means 'the spirit that manipulates the ruins'."
"Is there no more popular and memorable name?" The elder interrupted the professor again.
The professor turned around and exchanged opinions with several old scholars, and finally turned back and said:
"Gate Mantis."
