Monster life starting from picking up materials

"Humph?"

The investigators gathered around them and exclaimed in surprise, but only the commander folded his arms, raised his eyebrows unkindly, and snorted.

"Well, everyone has had dinner, let's gather everyone together."

The leader scratched his head, as did the members of the exploration team, who were carrying a lot of gold.

As the bell rang, everyone gathered on the deck of the star ship, staring in silence at the gold that was brought back.

Apart from being part of the investigation, bringing back so much gold was definitely not out of greed, but because gold is a heavy metal.

The gold on the ancient dragon may have other useful values. The team leader is even ready to gather people to continue collecting gold tomorrow.

Whether it is to boost everyone's morale or for the long-term future when the New World can be connected with the original world, collecting more gold is always beneficial.

On that flat ground, the gold stripped off from the battle between the unknown ancient dragon and the Spinosaurus could fill an entire star ship. I really don't know how it did it.

"Meow?"

It was only then that Chef Felyn discovered the traces of the Smoke Weasel on the mountain. The Smoke Weasel was now covered in dirt, and no one knew where it had gone to have a meal.

But before she wanted to take Smoke Weasel to take a bath, Ji Jie jumped onto the deck of the star ship and began to observe the investigation team.

At the foot of the mountain where the investigation team was based, the ancient dragon people looked at the ship high on the mountain and let out a surprised grunt.

He understood the shape and meaning of the ship, but he did not understand why the ship was built on a mountain.

"Okay, now it's time to tell you about the exploration team's discoveries in the forest."

After seeing that everyone was present, the leader patted the exploration team leader on the shoulder and signaled the discoverer to give the story.

On the way back, the captain, who was already prepared, told the story from the earthquake to the boiling earth, and talked about the huge golden monster and the high-temperature foehn wind it blew to the surrounding areas.

Finally, there was the regret of losing the target and not being able to see the Lord of the Sea of Trees and fight with him.

Regret is the price, then discovery is the gain.

"A monster that can destroy ecosystems yet also shower grace, yet looks so majestic and graceful, worthy of our respectful title of Mother Earth."

The team leader laughed at the end, bringing the story to an end.

Although it is difficult to imagine the Earth Mother Goddess in a golden dress and the appearance of an old mountain dragon, it does not prevent her from giving everyone a beautiful fantasy.

Everyone was indeed fascinated by the story and was full of fantasies about the mysterious ancient golden dragon. The true progress of mankind can never escape the high-spirited and enterprising idealism.

A description without subjective ideas may be accurate, but many details actually cannot be separated from the supplement of subjective ideas.

After the subjective description, a detailed report follows. Scholars ask questions from time to time to help subjective ideas find correspondence with actual witnesses.

Only by taking both subjective ideas and actual witnesses into consideration can a record be considered complete.

As details were added bit by bit, the ecologists handed paper and pens to the exploration team, allowing them to sketch out some outlines by hand.

Finally, a vivid image of the Earth Mother Goddess comes to life on the paper.

"Ok?"

It turns out that it’s not the Laoshanlong in the golden dress.

The blond man looked at the giant dragon on the paper that looked like a mountain of gold, stroking his chin, and finally erased the weirdness in his mind.

"Ancient dragon horns often have special abilities. I'm really curious if the Earth Mother's horn is the same."

The scholar muttered, pushing up his glasses and inserting the illustration into the book.

"Then there's another matter. The natives of the New World you mentioned, and the old dragon man you saw."

"He has the body of a dragon man, with pointed ears and bowed feet. What are his facial features?"

As one of the dragon people in the investigation team, the dragon hunter was also thinking about it.

The technicians were more concerned about the gold, but they also listened attentively.

"He's darker than the typical elderly dragon-men, and the obscuration prevents us from seeing more details. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem very willing to communicate with us."

The leader compared the appearance of the elderly dragon scholar in front of him and recalled the face he had vaguely seen.

"What do you think?"

"Alas, we ourselves are not quite clear about the mystery surrounding our dragon race. We may actually be our cousins in the New World."

The technician turned from examining the golden ore and spoke.

"Monsters all have related species. Different regions also have humans, dragonmen, and orcs with different appearances and cultures. If the other party can be confirmed to be a dragonman, it is indeed good."

The dragon people always keep to themselves. From a purely standpoint, they will not interfere with the mission of the investigation team.

"Of course, matters like race are best understood by the person involved."

The scholar looked at the dragon hunters, among whom there were only young men about a hundred years old.

"I'll observe him carefully after I meet him."

The dragon hunter nodded, accepting this very important task for the dragon people.

"Speaking of these ores."

Seeing that they had finished talking about the issues concerning the indigenous peoples, the technician rubbed his hands together.

He cared more about them being part of the metal ore than being part of the gold.

As a knowledgeable old man of the dragon race, the technician is not only a technician and inventor, he can also transform into a geologist and has achievements in metal refining.

"Well, take it down and smelt it. This is also part of the ecological research. If it can be used for something other than just gold, that would be great."

The team leader nodded.

Gold is useless to them who are far away from the original continental society. It is not even reliable even if it is hammered into a nail. At present, it is even worse than iron.

"There are still a lot of gold reserves along the way. I hope to organize some people to collect them tomorrow."

But unfortunately, this is the gold from the back of the ancient dragon, which may have important significance in alchemy.

"Manpower... then let's suspend construction work for a day, and everyone can go panning for gold and relax tomorrow."

The commander's brows raised, then relaxed and he smiled.

This can also be regarded as an actual large-scale exploration mission, and who knows, there might be discoveries other than gold.

126

Chapter 126 I'm watching you.

The golden grace showered by the Earth Mother was picked up by humans, and the Smoke Snow Weasel saw that the land swept by the hot wind had green buds sprouting the next day.

Withered and broken branches and leaves spread on the ground, crisp and soft, and tender seedlings peeked out from the destruction.

Breathtaking.

Ji Jie's gaze shifted from the seedlings to the gold beside them.

It's true that the totem of the Kulve Dragon has been unlocked, but it's the same as the totem of the Steel Dragon. No matter how much gold it eats, it won't gain any benefit.

And this gold is not just gold, but a collection of minerals absorbed and melted on Xuanhuilong's body when it traveled underground.

In other words, on the dragon-slaying recipe.

"Ok?"

A hunter bent down, patted his thinking head, and picked up the piece of gold in front of him.

"squeak!"

Ji Jie raised his head and made an angry sound towards the investigator.

"Eh?"

The female hunter scratched her head and put the gold she had just picked up back in front of the Smoke Weasel.

?

Is this what he cares about?

There was a lot of gold, not to mention the long strip cut from the hem of Xuanhuilong's skirt.

Thinking of this, Ji Jie rushed away, leaving the female hunter scratching her head and silently picking up the gold again.

The bird flew across the sky and saw the commander and others who were walking forward behind them, and also saw a small figure on the branches of a fallen tree in front of them.

The flapping of wings paused slightly, and then it turned sharply and flew down towards them.

--the other side--

Compared to the enthusiastic investigators, several leaders of the investigation team were hanging far behind and chatting.

"Alas, more than two months have passed, and Master Yuanye has not returned yet."

"She's even more willful than me. Just like Master Yixing, exploring the wild is what she should really do. I believe she will return with a reward."

The team leader was not very worried about Master Yuanye's safety. The swordsmanship master was able to confront Gu Long with his swordsmanship, so how could someone who was also known as a master be an easy opponent?

However, commanders always like to make arrangements, and management talents always tend to put everything within a controllable and risk-free range.

The commander also has a radical side, but the worry that such a big man could go missing in an instant is unstoppable.

"Do you feel like something is watching us?"

A muffled sound came from under the helmet. The swordsman looked around and finally locked his sight on the short man who was standing on a high place in front of him and observing them.

"Is he the one you mentioned yesterday?"

"Yes."

The group slowly walked towards the ancient dragon man and arrived under the tree where he was standing.

"Hello. (Dragon language)"

The dragonman hunter stood up and waved to the ancient dragonman.

"..."

As if awakened from observation, the ancient dragon man muttered and focused his attention on the dragon hunter.

The dragon people from different continents looked at each other, and with just one glance, they could confirm the similarities between themselves and each other.

It's not just a similarity in appearance, but also a feeling of being of the same origin.

Perhaps the dragon people of the original continent in the distant past also made clothes out of leaves, just like the ancient dragon people before us.

Primitive, yet closest to nature.

They do not have the impetuousness of humans, but have a stronger desire for knowledge.

But hunters are also quite rare among the dragon people.

Dragon people who value the balance of natural ecology and have a thirst for knowledge tend to prefer to become scholars, and it is rare for them to become hunters and travel around the world.

Of course, as the social relationship between dragon people and humans becomes increasingly close and many hunter heroes emerge, the number of young dragon people embarking on the path of hunters is also increasing.

"..."

The ancient dragon man looked at the weapon in the hunter's hand, made a confused sound, and showed his small staff.

He was certain that the dragon hunters were holding weapons, and these unfamiliar fellows might be more aggressive.

"Ok?"

Even though they were both dragon people, the hunter still couldn't understand what his cousins from the New World were saying.

He could only raise his weapon, hesitate for a moment and add the name of the weapon in the human common language:

"Bug stick."

"Bug stick."

Although they did not understand the meaning of individual syllables, it did not prevent the ancient dragon people from imitating the term clumsily.

"Stick (cane)."

The dragon hunter pointed to the ancient dragon man's staff.

"cane."

The ancient dragon man looked at his staff.

"You. Dragonite."
