Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The same speculation naturally emerged in the hearts of the hunters.

After all, they were here just to confirm this guess.

"Panlan, what do you think?" Gordon took the peeling knife and brushed the red hair.

The hunters surrounding Fangwei all looked at Xianglan, startling it.

"Why, why do you ask Omeow?!"

"Although, but." Ancier considered his words, "You are the only one among us who has directly faced the Flame King Dragon."

Gale and Ajian, who had a clear understanding of the concept of "ancient dragon", both cast a ghostly look at Xianglan.

Just this scumbag cat?

Xianglan reacted for several seconds before coming back to her senses, "Then a meow counts as a meow?"

Two years ago, in the depths of Latio volcano, when they used pork chops, bones, and fire sickles to induce the Tyrannosaurus to return to its lair, they did witness the Flame Fei Dragon and Yan Wang Dragon.

The so-called face-to-face just means hiding in a cave a few hundred meters away, quietly peeping at the battle between three ancient dragon-level creatures, and at the same time praying that you will not be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Gordon shrugged, "At least you did see it with your own eyes."

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xianglan scratched her ears frantically, then moved closer to the stump of the tail to observe.

"The color of this fur is indeed similar to what I remember, meow." Xianglan said and sniffed carefully twice more.

In addition to the ubiquitous rotten odor all around, it also smelled a faint smell of sulfur.

After thinking about it, it took out its claws and scratched hard on the remaining dark red leather.

There were a few sparks jumping out of the tough and rough leather surface like sandpaper.

It raised its head, "I think it is indeed the tail of Yanwanglong. Although the explosive scale powder has fallen off, the skin still has the ability to ignite fire."

"This verification method does make some sense." An Xil nodded and said softly.

At least it's more convincing than just speaking from memory.

Gordon carefully inspected the skin, flesh and hair on the stump of the tail, "There are a lot of bite marks on the broken bones. The decay time is at least one month, but the upper limit is not easy to judge, maybe a few months."

It matches the time when the Flame King Dragon flew over the Grand Canyon, and it is most likely it. "

As he spoke, Gordon cut off a small piece of tissue and tentatively placed it into the insect cage on his belt.

These little creatures can even trace the soil left by their footprints and the fallen scales, which may also help them find the location of the Yanwanglong body.

After the flesh and skin tissue fell into the insect guide cage, the shiny guide insects landed on it and remained silent for a long time without any reaction.

This is the first time that hunters have seen this.

"What's going on?" Gale, a quick-talking man, asked.

Ajian pinched his chin and said, "It should be that the distance is too far. The smell environment of the Miasma Valley is relatively disturbing, and the detection range of the guide insects is also limited."

Gordon stood up, grabbed the stump of tail, and threw it on Gale's back.

"It's okay. We will continue to move forward as planned. When we are close enough, the guide insects will naturally respond."

"That's true."

Anhil rubbed Gale's head and stuffed another piece of dried meat into its big mouth as a reward. "Finally, I found some clues."

The hunters acted quickly, and their target was still the core area of ​​Miasma Valley.

With the existence of the stump of the tail and the guide worm, the task of finding the body of Yanwangsaurus, or in other words, "confirming whether Yanwangsaurus has become a corpse" will become much easier.

The group of people continued to move forward along the "expressway". On the way, they saw another trident-shaped tailbone that stood as tall as a mountain peak.

It also belongs to the species Ophiosaurus.

It is unknown whether this completely stony tailbone and the previous skull belong to the same basilisk.

According to scholar Ajian, there are at least four snake king and dragon skeletons in the Valley of Miasma.

On the way, the hunters encountered another "attack" from the Bone Hammer Dragon.

In fact, once you get used to it, it's not difficult to avoid these big guys rolling around. You just have to stay vigilant at all times.

"What are these?" Anhir asked with a frown.

The road ahead was broken, replaced by a huge dark yellow network between the rocks.

This huge net covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. It looks a bit like a vine, but it has an elastic and slimy feel that is different from the vine.

Jian shrugged, "It's a combination of mycelium, vines, and other things. I can't tell. Large monsters like the Bone Hammer Dragon may sometimes sink when they pass by. It's quite interesting.

From here we leave the upper area and descend to the valley floor. "

"How to get down?"

"follow me."

The hunters carefully stepped on the giant net and followed Ajian to the center of the giant net.

There was a hole there, and several dark yellow fibers no different from the surrounding giant nets hung down like ropes to the bottom of the valley.

"Is this thing also formed naturally?" Gordon couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, it's the rope we hung up."

Ajian smiled and said: "These fibers are like ivy, growing down the rope. When the rope is corroded by the miasma, these fibers are still there."

"I see."

After checking the filter masks and goggles, the hunters slid down the fibers and returned to the bottom of the valley smoothly.

The concentration of the miasma here was obviously much higher than that of the area where the Fang Pterosaur and the Big Bi Thief Dragon had previously attacked. It was like a thick fog that affected the line of sight and caused a slight burning sensation on the skin.

With half of his body exposed, Gale was numb, literally.

"Let's speed up." Ajian's voice was slightly distorted through the mask. "Quickly pass this section and reach the bottom of the underground. The miasma will dissipate."

The hunters couldn't help but quicken their pace.

During this period, they were attacked by a parasitic dragon wandering nearby.

But this time, they didn't have any more trouble with these annoying guys. After Gordon stepped forward and kicked away the charging Thieving Dragon, the group of people quickly left.

Finally it didn't cause any more trouble.

Almost running into the underground passage that sloped down, the hunter and his party arrived at the underground cave below the valley bottom.

The moment they rushed out of the dark cave passage, their vision became clear.

The annoying thick miasma disappeared, but the environment changed far more than that.

Whether in the upper part of the Miasma Valley or at the bottom of the valley, gray and dark yellow are always the main colors.

Even in areas where there is no miasma, various hyphae and carpets will stain everything around them with an unpleasant yellowish color.

But it's different here.

A soft indigo shimmer enveloped everything around it. This light came from the shimmering moss on the cave walls and the clear water pools all around.

Everything around them is quiet and beautiful, but the hunters instinctively sense danger.

There is definitely something wrong with these ponds. Normal spring water will not glow.

Gale, who was about to take off the filter mask, stopped, and asked confirmingly, "You can't take off the mask in this place, right?"

"Ah, absolutely not!"

Ajian said quickly: "There is no miasma in this place, not because the miasma cannot penetrate, but because the environment here is so harsh that even the microorganisms in the miasma cannot survive here.

Don't go near those ponds. They look like clear water, but are actually strong acid.

Transparent acidic gases are also diffused in the air, which can burn mucous membranes and respiratory tracts. "

Gale gritted his teeth.

The exposed skin on her abdomen and thighs was already a little sickly red, although as a hunter, skin was not considered "delicate".

But this is miasma and acid mist

"Pianlan, hurry up and give us some powder!"

Xianglan rolled her eyes, took out the life dust and threw it on her.
