Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Just two days after returning to Berna Village, Gordon and Anshir received a letter of summons from East Doruma, the headquarters of the Hunter Guild.

I thought it was another combat mission assigned, but the two of them didn't know until after reading the contents of the letter that this time they called the guild their only purpose in the past.

It's a question.

It wasn't just the two of them who went together, but also the chief researcher of the Longli Institute, several paleontologists, Ms. Du Da, the head of the archaeological team, and several members of the archaeological team.

Obviously, the guild headquarters attaches great importance to the intelligence of the mysterious monster they encountered this time.

It is not enough to sort out the detailed information a long time ago and send someone to send it. The person concerned must also come to the scene to inquire.

In fact, it is also understandable.

There are too many things about the mysterious monster that can make the guild executives feel afraid. Just looking at the words and pictures in the paper report always makes people feel that it is not real enough.

In order to pursue efficiency, the chief researcher also specially arranged a high-speed airship, which made the journey to East Doruma dull.

The whole journey can be roughly summarized as getting on the airship, looking at the sky for a while, sleeping for a while, watching the clouds for a while, and arriving at

"There is always a feeling of 'Why are you here again'." Gordon, who walked off the empty boat pad, muttered.

"I also feel meow."

"By the way, is it really necessary to call Gale by name? It can't talk." Gordon looked at Gale, who was mad on the airship and was throwing joy around, and felt that the little guy was a little pitiful.

It's the same reason that Anshir doesn't like riding bumpy mine carts, and Gale doesn't like staying in a small empty cabin in a daze.

"I don't know, maybe there is some special purpose." Anshir shrugged.

The group of people didn't go anywhere after getting off the empty boat. The guild staff who had been waiting by the empty boat platform led them directly to the Great Old Hall.

Many people are already waiting here in the magnificent hall, which is not exquisite or gorgeous.

Walking into the hall, Gordon glanced over these people quickly, and found that most of them were scholars. From the uniform style, there were people from the Wang Li Paleontological Scholars Team, the Gulong Observation Bureau, and the Longli Academy.

There are also a small number of uniforms that Gordon did not recognize, which may come from certain subdivisions.

Hey, do you have any acquaintances?

Gordon raised his hand at the old professor with whom he had a considerable relationship, as a greeting.

The other party also nodded slightly.

"Finally waiting for you here."

The Great Elder said in a rumbling voice, "Everyone has been studying the report from the archaeological team of the ancient village ruins for several days, and the person involved is here now. I don't want to talk nonsense, and the inquiry will officially begin."

Many scholars raised their hands, stood up impatiently, and spoke directly even more impatiently.

"Is there a sample! Is there a biological sample!"

"About the mysterious monster described in the report, is there any more specific size data?!"

"Among the regular large monsters, it can barely be regarded as an upper-middle-lower existence. Can it really independently manipulate a super-giant ancient dragon-sized mechanical giant?

No offense intended, but is it possible that there are multiple creatures of the same kind that cooperate to operate? "

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, cooperating with each other to operate giant mechanical beasts? This kind of thing is difficult for professionally trained humans, let alone monsters!"

"Why do you think that the IQ and learning ability of monsters must be lower than that of humans?"

"."

"."

It was still only a question-and-answer session. Before Gordon and other parties could answer, the scholars who asked the questions had already quarreled with each other.

"quiet!"

The Great Elder, who had a headache from the quarrel, slashed his old knife. He pointed to the director of the guild and asked the latter to act as the host to organize the inquiry.

The inquiry meeting finally became orderly.

The paleontological researchers of the Longli Institute have been studying the biological tissue specimens of the golden beetle and the silk samples for a few days. Now they are publishing the research report and sharing some of the samples.

The Paleontological Scholars Team and the scholars from the Gulong Observation Bureau immediately called for some instruments and reagents to carry out 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 these.

Inquiry sessions are also taking place simultaneously.

Gordon finally knew the purpose of these scholars calling Gale over.

They also made a few solid wood-wrapped monster-skin targets for Gale to chew on, pig chops to catch, and themselves and Anshir to attack with weapons.

It should be hoped that through comparison, the toughness of the mysterious monster's carapace can be roughly confirmed.

The inquiry meeting continued in such a chaotic manner for most of the day.

The staff of the guild had to bring convenient food such as bread, in case these precious old scholars couldn't bear it.

What follows is a more chaotic debate.

From then on, Gordon and the others, a cat and a dog, were not very involved.

Even Anshir, who was the most knowledgeable among them, didn't even reach the level of students in front of these real scholars.

The sharp-eyed pork chop also found something interesting.

The Great Elder, who was always sitting on the stone platform, lowered his eyebrows as always, and his long snow-white eyebrows covered his eyes, making it difficult to detect.

He has dozed off.

The meeting lasted from daytime to late at night, and the scholars finally reached a relatively unified opinion on some content.

I don't know if I didn't sleep too deeply, or I have practiced this "stunt" after sitting in that position for hundreds of years.

The Great Elder woke up without any abnormality, his tone remained calm, "Everyone, please tell the conclusions you have drawn, you know what this old man cares about."

"Great Elder."

The professor who was finally selected as the concluding speaker stepped forward, his voice was very hoarse, and it was obvious that he had shouted a lot before, "First of all, it is about this kind of biological classification.

More than two-thirds of scholars believe that this mysterious monster should not be counted as an ancient dragon species.

Even when manipulating giant machinery, its strength is even higher than many ancient dragon monsters, but it has very obvious beetle biological characteristics.

According to the fact that Hunter Gordon used a dragon-attribute weapon to attack, there was no trigger at all, it should not contain dragon-attribute energy in his body, so we identified it as a beetle species. "

"Um"

The Great Elder answered patiently.

From his point of view, the only two valuable parts in the long passage that the professor summed up are "possesses a very powerful strength compared to ancient dragon creatures" and "not weak dragons".

The professor continued his report, which in the eyes of the scholars was already concise and concise.

"Considering its special ability to collect and manipulate ruins to form a 'mechanical ruin city', and as the 'core' of the ruin city, it can also be understood as the 'power' and 'spirit' of the ruin city."

"Get to the point!"

"Hey, we determined its scientific name to be 'Adolaru Ka', which means 'spirit that manipulates the ruins'."

"Isn't there a name that is easier to understand and more memorable for everyone?" The Great Elder interrupted the professor again.

The professor turned back, exchanged opinions with several old scholars, and finally turned around and said:

"Ge Mantis."
