Chapter 660: Can a Flying Dragon Be Considered a Flying Dragon Even without Wings?
Gordon and his party retreated cautiously, and when they were far away from the boundary of the huge lava lake, they began to speed up and leave the lava canyon as quickly as possible.
The temperature outside the lava canyon is still close to 50 degrees, and even exceeds 50 degrees in some areas, but the hunters still feel "cool".
After resting for a while at a hunter camp near the lava canyon and leaving a warning message never to enter the canyon, Gordon and others set out on their way back.
No surprises or dangers along the way.
Encountered two attacks by small monsters, before Gordon and Hayata could even draw their weapons, the strong wind rushed out, biting off the necks of the red velociraptors and tearing them apart as if to vent their anger. Array.
Gordon didn't stop it. He knew that Gale was venting the restlessness accumulated in his heart and a little fear after seeing the black monster.
Another two days passed, and the dusty hunters finally returned to Naguli Village.
A long-lost sense of security enveloped them, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out.
Gordon wanted to lie down where he was, not caring about anything, and just sleep all day and night. Hayata Pork Chop and the others also looked tired and sleepy.
But there are more important things than rest right now.
Gordon forced his eyes open and immediately found the Tulong village chief of Naguli Village. The leader of the brigade was also found. This old man had a good relationship with the guild and his channels were also very important.
Anxil and Feng Ying, who had returned to Naguli Village in advance, had already reported part of the situation to them. Therefore, the two old men attached great importance to the information brought back by Gordon and the others.
At the home of the Tulong village chief, Gordon spread out the map that they had drawn in a mess.
"This is the route that the armored dragon took to migrate to the nearby mine. We traced it backwards to the lava canyon. If nothing unexpected happens, the lava canyon was the original habitat of the armored dragon."
Speaking of this, Gordon suddenly wanted to ask the village chief, Feng Ying and the others about their armored dragon hunting, but in the end he didn't waste time.
With Ancier here, it is impossible for an armored dragon, which is not in very good shape to begin with, to make any splash.
“The magma in the lava canyon has been completely activated. When I came to Naguli Village to dig protective stones, I have been there many times, and I have never been so hot.
The magma was all golden, and the creatures in the canyon and even near the canyon disappeared without a trace, not even a spider, lizard or other small reptile was seen. "
The expressions of the Tulong village chief and brigade leader became increasingly serious.
Even if there is no news of the appearance of mysterious monsters, the complete destruction of an entire regional ecological environment is enough to attract the great attention of the guild headquarters.
"We went into the canyon to do some reconnaissance and ended up here."
Gordon pointed to an area highlighted with charcoal on the map and continued: "Traces of that monster were found in the largest magma lake in the lava canyon.
That guy was diving deep under the magma, but we used the method of blowing up boulders to scare it out for a while.
It was a monster wrapped in a pitch-black carapace. Judging from the part of its body exposed on the surface of the magma, it should be more than thirty meters long.
It has no wings, has a very compact and thick body structure, has two huge fangs, and is very aggressive.
Well, by the way, Hayata made a sketch, you two can take a look. "
Hayata immediately took out the portrait of the monster she had drawn while resting in the camp from her waist bag.
Hayata, who had studied painting seriously since childhood, was very good at sketching. Except for the details of the carapace that he had no time to observe, and the lower body hidden under the magma, he could at least restore 70% to 80% of the appearance of the monster.
The Tulong village chief and group leader took the sketch, looked at it carefully and then looked at each other.
"It is indeed that guy. Why did he escape from the core of the volcano?" The Tulong village chief muttered.
The leader of the brigade lowered the brim of his hat, "Judging from the time, it may be related to the incident with the Sky Comet Dragon. There are many ancient dragon-level creatures disturbed by the Sky Comet Dragon all over the world."
"Do you two know any information about this dark monster?" Gordon asked proactively.
He and Hayata present were both high-level hunters. As long as it did not involve "taboos", basically all monster information was within their scope of authority.
"Um."
The Tulong village chief nodded his head vigorously, and the wild boar's long tusk-like beard almost missed the pig's chop. "Akamutorum means 'disaster', 'god of black', this is the Frasia region. dialect, the earliest record of it comes from the village of Bokai.
The ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild has overwhelming power that rivals or even surpasses some ancient dragons. The guild calls it a 'tyrant'. "
Gordon wanted to complain. It was obviously a monster that lived deep in the volcanic zone, but the earliest record came from the village of Bokai in the Frasian Snow Mountains far away in the northeastern corner of the continent? !
But after hearing the key words in the second half of the sentence, he immediately shifted his focus.
"An ancient dragon-level creature? Isn't that guy an ancient dragon?" Gordon asked.
As far as Gordon knows, most of the ancient dragon creatures have a body shape of six limbs, four limbs and two wings, but there are many exceptions.
There are Qilin that looks like a horse, Lanlong with wings all over its body, and huge Fengshan Dragon and Laoshan Dragon, all of which also have no wings.
From this point of view, if you have to say who it looks like, the terrifying creature named Tyrannosaurus seems to be slightly similar to Fengshan Dragon?
Well, the fangs aspect.
"Indeed, Tyrannosaurus is not an ancient dragon species."
The leader of the brigade crossed his arms and explained: "Initially, the guild also classified it as an ancient dragon species, but as the research deepened, scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and the Dragon Calendar Institute found that this creature is more closely related to the flying dragon species."
"Ah? A flying dragon species without wings?"
"Well, scholars believe that this is a very ancient creature, related to the 'Origin Flying Dragon', the ancestor of all flying dragons, and shows the life form of this biological branch before it evolved wings.
By the way, the Boom Dragon can be regarded as an 'intermediate form' in the evolution of flying dragons, and the ancestor of the Boom Dragon, the 'Rex Flying Dragon', is also closely related to the Tyrannosaurus Rex."
".Okay."
From Gordon's perspective, it is a bit strange to classify a creature like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which has no wings at all, as a "flying dragon species". After all, the Boom Dragon has wing membranes, right?
Putting aside these biology-related things, Gordon continued to ask: "So how will the guild deal with this Tyrannosaurus later? Will they order a crusade?"
Gordon asked this because they are the only top hunters in Naguli Village.
If the guild really decides to crusade the Tyrannosaurus, the task will most likely fall on them.
"I guess not."
The brigade leader shook his head and said: "According to you, the Tyrannosaurus has no intention of leaving the volcano, but is just sleeping in the lava canyon, and it is not a big threat to the outside world.
According to the guild's handling habits, it should not directly order a crusade. It is likely that a professional team will be sent to try to induce it and "send it back" to the core area of the volcano.
Fortunately, you did not anger it and took that guy out of the lava canyon, otherwise it would be time to issue an "emergency declaration."
Zhu Chop shook his body when he heard this, turned around and scratched Liefeng with his claws.
Fortunately, he did not use a bomb directly. I must never listen to this guy's meow in the future!
