Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

at the same time.

The team led by Evelin was still following Xuanhuilong at a distance, hundreds of meters away.

After half a day of tracking, the straight-line distance between them and the previously discovered Golden Township was already more than fifteen kilometers.

In the earth veins, the terrain is complex, with forks and branches everywhere, like a spider web maze. Calculated in terms of walking distance, the actual distance may be twice as long.

Even with the physical strength of the hunters, they were a little tired at this time.

As the captain, Evelin was in a dilemma at this time.

It is impossible for humans to compete with ancient dragons in physical strength. Some large ancient dragons can even move non-stop for several months.

Should we continue tracking, or should we stop and rest?

While she was struggling, the faint vibrations along the ground gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely.

Has it reached its destination?

Evelin raised her hand and made a "stop" gesture, and the entire team immediately stopped moving forward.

Feidi, who usually spoke very little, looked at Evelin and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear, asking her to make an idea.

The other two hunters in the team, the spear user Dono and the bow hunter Wika, also looked at her as the captain.

Evelin pondered for a moment and whispered: "Ant, be careful when approaching, observe, and be careful to stay hidden."

"I understand, nya!"

As a Deter hunting cat from the insect cage tribe, stealth actions are the ant's specialty. It got down on all fours and jumped out quietly.

Hunters take the time to eat, rest and relax their muscles.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and when everyone couldn't help but worry, the ant finally came back.

It was running close, as if it had discovered some big secret, and was very excited.

Just as he was about to meow, Feidi quickly gestured to it to remind it to pay attention to the volume.

The ant scratched its furry ears and said in a quick and soft tone: "Its whole body is glowing and hot, and the gold has melted into water, meow!"

And it seems to be able to control the movement of the water-like gold. It sticks the gold to the ground and rocks, and makes some pillar-like things come out! "

Ant's lingua franca is fluent, but it only uses the most commonly used words. Fortunately, its expressions are clear enough.

Evelin frowned, “It seems that Anxil and the others guessed it right. The brilliant dragon will melt the gold, wrap it around its body, and then carry it to other places.

What did it do after it unloaded its gold? "

"It became bare and black, a little ugly, and then it continued to move forward, and the holes in front of it were also full of gold!

It melted some more gold and wrapped it around its body, as if it were wearing clothes. "

"It seems that there is indeed more than one Golden Land." Feidi responded.

“Is it moving?” Evelin rubbed the ant’s head as a compliment, “Let’s wait for another ten minutes where it is, until it moves away.

Then continue forward and take a look into this golden land.

Since Xuanhuilong is moving the gold here from the previous place, it means that this place is more suitable for its survival, or that there are other things here. "

"Like ruins?" The hunting bow made Wika narrow her eyes with a smile.

"Well, it's possible."

The hunters continued to rest on the spot, recovering their strength while waiting for the brilliant dragon to leave.

After feeling almost the same, Evelin stood up and said, "Let's go, let's keep moving forward, Dono will lead the way, Wika pays attention to the top and behind, Feidi and I are on the flanks, be careful."

The group took action again.

Just like the golden land we found before, the ground and rock walls here are also filled with gold.

The gold in some places has not completely solidified and is emitting amazing heat. The hunters are careful to avoid these areas that can easily burn people.

Enter this "second place" golden land.

Their original intention was to continue to follow the guidance of the guide insect and track down the brilliant dragon from before.

But after entering the Golden Land, a scene that shocked them happened.

The guide insects flying in mid-air dispersed and flew in several directions.

"This is?!" The hunting bow made Wika open her eyes wide.

Dono, who has a calm personality and never lifted his visor along the way, said with a loud voice: "There may be more than one brilliant dragon living here."

"A cologne living in groups, this is really..." Evelin took a deep breath, "Everyone, you don't need me to remind you anymore, do you? Please cheer up."

"Which way do we choose?" Feddy asked his wife.

Evelin glanced at the forked light paths in the sky and chose one at random, "It's all right, just this one."

"Um."

The hunters continued to move forward along the light path.

Ten minutes later, they came to a huge cave entrance that was surprisingly spacious. The diameter of the cave entrance was more than fifty meters. The molten and solidified gold was in the shape of a brush, hanging from the top of the cave entrance.

Forming a large splendid and dazzling door curtain.

Evelin walked to the entrance of the cave and squatted down.

An area that was not completely covered by gold revealed a piece of ground that was too smooth to be naturally formed.

Her fingers brushed over a smooth seam on the ground that was incredibly tight but did exist, and a smile appeared on Evelin's face.

This is undoubtedly an artifact, and they have found an ancient ruin.

"I think we should record the location, take the information back, and work with other teams to make complete preparations before entering the ruins to explore." Spearman Dono said in a deep voice.

The hunting bow made Wika put her finger on her chin, "Let's not go too deep. It should be fine if we simply explore it, right? At least we need to roughly confirm the scale of this ruins."

We can see a few bricks here, but we can’t tell anything else. Don’t look back and find that these are the only bricks here.”

Both of them made sense. Dono was the cautious type, while Wika's statement was more in line with the habits of most hunters.

Evelin hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go in and take a look first.

Dono did not continue to object, nodded, and entered first.

The hole is huge and the internal space is small.

They came to a larger space.

The place is as spacious as a square, with square sides and a regular semicircular dome on the top. It is also covered with gold and there are no traces of decoration.

But it is basically certain that this is a place similar to a palace.

Such ruins are of little significance to hunters. After all, ancient people would not bury weapons in the hall.

But for scholars, this is a goal of extremely high research value, and they have the opportunity to discover important cultural relics that inherit ancient information, such as murals and sculptures.

After roughly confirming the scale of the ruins, Evelin said: "It's almost done, get ready to leave."

At this moment, several guide insects emitting faint blue light flew past them and landed on a vaguely shaped statue half-buried underground in the center of the hall.

The hunters' vigilance was immediately raised to the highest level, and they retreated cautiously.

A black creature, no more than four or five meters long, came out from behind the statue and looked at them with its head tilted.

Looking at its lizard-like body shape, the hunters had the same thought.

——Is this some unknown species of tooth dragon?

Only Ant was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "This one looks like Meow after taking off the gold of Xuanhuilong. Could it be the cub of Xuanhuilong, Meow?"

The hearts of the hunters jumped several times, and their pupils shrank involuntarily.

Evelin squeezed out a sentence from her throat, "Don't make a sound, step back, and leave."

Fortunately, the creature that was suspected to be a cub of Xuanhuisaurus did not approach, but just looked at it curiously.

Just when they were about to exit the ruins hall, several strange-faced tribesmen wearing golden masks came out of nowhere and let out a piercing warning cry.

The ground began to shake.

The sleeping "statue" moved, and the large piece of gold wrapped around it fell off, revealing a touch of white gold underneath.

I suddenly realized that the pace of the recent chapters was a bit slow, and I fell into deep thought. . .
