Chapter 188: What I Saw in the Golden Country
"Let's investigate this place a little bit and see if the Brilliant Dragon is still in the Golden Country."
As long as the hunter does not take the initiative to attack, the Brilliant Dragon, like some ancient dragons, will not pay attention to the hunter.
In the eyes of the Brilliant Dragon, the hunter and the Golden Odd-faced Tribe are just like the environmental creatures in the eyes of the hunter, which are dispensable.
So, although the Brilliant Dragon is a powerful and large ancient dragon, it is not too dangerous to just investigate it.
Su Yi climbed down the platform with the amazed Dew Grass and Pokémon and walked in the rock passage. The road of the passage became wide and flat because of the activities of the Brilliant Dragon.
Looking around the golden dots on the walls around the passage, Su Yi could imagine the scene of the Brilliant Dragon patrolling here.
Chichichi!
Walking through a huge arch decorated with gold, a group of golden bats were frightened and scattered.
This is a golden scale bat. The only difference from the scale bats in caves in various places in the New World is that they are all golden.
Although they are bats, if you look closely, you will find that they are actually super small flying dragons.
Su Yi immediately thought of a Pokémon - the buzzing bat.
This layer of space is much larger than the map in the game that is limited by function and capacity.
After all, it is the Golden Country that Xuanhuilong has explored after dozens or even hundreds of years.
And this should be just the first layer. Xuanhuilong will dig down to obtain more metals and minerals, and finally build a gorgeous palace with dazzling golden light in the deepest part of the Golden Country.
As the road in front of him became wider and wider, a huge square appeared in front of him, and there was a big pit not far away.
Su Yi and his party approached and saw that countless golden crabs were running away from the pit.
"Catch them!" Su Yi shouted, quickly loaded the capture net and caught crabs.
"Gulp!" The bear apprentice was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and kicked several crabs with a set of fists and feet.
Jilidan waved his short hands, but after bending down, it was obviously not very flexible, and the crabs ran away from him with a clatter.
"There's a big guy, meow!" Lucao said in surprise.
"Catch the mantou crab from behind...!" Su Yi turned his head and saw a bigger crab with a more dazzling golden color clamping Lucao's sword and being lifted up by him.
"I caught it, meow!" Lucao said with a smile while holding up the sword.
Su Yi laughed and said, "Okay."
Su Yi quickly knocked the crab unconscious and looked at it carefully.
These crabs are called mantou crabs, and some are translated as copper mantou crabs.
They are a kind of environmental creatures living in the Golden Country. They are very large, about 20 centimeters long, about the size of a rugby ball.
The larger crab caught by Lucao is an individual grown by the mantou crab over the years, named the golden mantou crab.
The gold color on the copper mantou crab is darker and more mottled, while the golden mantou crab exudes a dazzling golden glow all over its body.
"They seem to have dropped something, meow." Lucao picked up the shiny thing on the ground and found that it was some gold flakes.
"This is the food they are carrying." Su Yi picked it up and said.
Looking into the pit again, as expected, the rocks in the pit were attached with a large amount of golden metal, but most of the place was covered with sand.
It seems that this should be the pit left by Xuanhuilong when the smelted metal attached to its body.
These steamed crabs and another creature that also lives in the Golden Country, the golden horseshoe crab, feed on organic matter mixed with metal dropped by Xuanhuilong. Over time, their bodies show a golden color.
The golden color on the golden scale bat is the body color evolved for mimicry.
These creatures have evolved due to the influence of Xuanhuilong and become part of the unique ecology in the Golden Country.
Not far from the square, there is a huge hole closed by melted rocks and metals.
Along the way, Su Yi found two such holes. On their level, there must be more than these holes.
These holes were created after Xuanhuilong moved. I don’t know what kind of space will be at the other end of the hole. From this point of view, the Golden Country created by Xuanhuilong is amazingly large.
"After walking for so long, there is no trace of Xuanhuilong, no footprints, no scattered gold flakes, nothing, and no trace of the Golden Qimian Clan." Su Yi said.
This shows that Xuanhuilong has not been to this space for at least a long time.
But it cannot be concluded that Xuanhuilong has given up this golden land. It may be sleeping deeper in the golden land, or it may be active in another space of the golden land.
But there is no doubt that this is a good place to set up a camp.
"Set up a camp, have a meal and take a rest." Su Yi smiled and shook the sack of steamed crabs.
No matter how rare or beautiful you are, it is a dish in my hands.
To the east of the golden land, Su Yi found an underground river flowing through, and he simply set up a camp there.
Su Yi released the burning worm and asked it and the dew grass to help boil water in the pot.
Su Yi took out the internal organs of the steamed crab, then brushed it clean by the river with a brush, and finally put it in the pot.
However, there were too many crabs and they were too big to fit in one pot, so Su Yi took out another steamer and steamed all the crabs.
"Start steaming!" Su Yi rubbed his hands and looked forward to this crazy Golden Country meal.
While steaming, Su Yi took out the grill and took out the meat of the ankylosaur, cut some into small pieces and made dice meat, and put some on the grill to roast.
The fat melted and seeped into the cut made by the knife, and then the sauce was brushed on, and the fragrance rose instantly.
After a while, the crab was steamed. Su Yi took out a few small plates, put a few sauces on them, then took out the golden crab, pried open the crab shell, and revealed the pink crab meat.
Su Yi picked up the crab legs, dipped the crab meat in some sauce, and put it in his mouth.
The soft crab meat absorbed enough sauce and penetrated into the meat. When he took a bite, the salty fragrance of the sauce and the sweetness of the soft and tender crab meat combined into one, and the satisfaction brought by the large pieces of crab meat hit the taste buds.
"Fresh!" Su Yi said with satisfaction.
"Crackle!"
"Meow!"
"Lucky!"
"Jiwu!"
The little guys tried one after another, and the various combinations of crab meat and different sauces conquered them. In an instant, all the fatigue was dispelled and they fell into the gentle land of food.
"I heard that horseshoe crab porridge is very fresh and sweet. I wonder if gold foil horseshoe crab can be made. As for wild hammer snake, forget it." Su Yi thought while eating.
The crabs were big and meaty. After finishing the barbecue, they were almost full. Su Yi took out beer and drank it comfortably. He also gave Dew Grass and Pokémon some juice.
Then Su Yi released the accompanying beasts and started to make food for everyone.
"Are you okay?" Su Yi checked the situation of Swift Meow, Devil's Claw and Barbarian Jaw.
The three were injured in the battle with the Black Horned Dragon, but fortunately the injuries were not serious. Su Yi sprayed some wound medicine and it was fine.
After dealing with these, Su Yi sat on the stool and checked the "Hunting Guide".
At this time, the icons of the Scratching Bird and Steel Armored Crow appeared in the Star Base. Obviously, the wounded were safe.
"That means the mission is completed." Su Yi turned to the mission column and collected the reward.
The next moment, a crystal stone shining with a colorful halo appeared in Su Yi's hand.
"Dragon Vein Stone"
Someone asked me where those materials came from. In fact, it was the setting collection of Monster Hunter World "Traces of Monster Hunter World" and "New World Sketch Travel Notes"
