Chapter 430 Evacuate after nightfall
“Relics of ancient civilization?” The professor looked at the hunters with suspicion.
He really didn’t expect that when Gordon and the others went to investigate the reason for Lanlong’s anger, they would be involved in an archaeological discovery of this level.
If the ruins of the ancient civilization were as described by the hunters, they would be as large as a "whole mountain" and would be basically intact.
That would be an astonishing discovery second only to the ancient pagoda of Shuhai and the Pyramid of Submerged Forest.
"Furthermore, Pandan was still at the top of the ruins and found a huge crack." Gordon was halfway through adding, but was interrupted by Pandan.
“I’m here, I’m here, meow!”
Xianglan seemed to be very proud of her discovery. She put her hands on her hips and said, “That meow with such a long slit, about twenty. It's a few meters wide, so I can put Bobo in it. I almost fell in, but luckily it happened. Hurry up, meow!”
“You can get to the point, meow.”
“Meow——!” Xianglan slapped the pig’s paw in dissatisfaction and continued: “I observed it. Moss has grown on the edges of the cracks, but there is no serious weathering.
So I feel that the cracks should indeed have opened not too long ago, at least it doesn't feel like it took decades or hundreds of years. ”
“Pandan is great~. "Hayata knelt down and rubbed Pandan's fleshy cheeks.
She knew that the latter liked this kind of reward the most.
"Meow meow~. "
Ignoring the man and the cat over there, Gordon said to the professor:
"We cannot say for sure that the ruins and the cracks on the ruins must be the truth about Lan Long's anger, but there is no more reasonable guess for the time being.
This news must be conveyed to the guild, so I suggest taking a rest during the day. After dark, we set out to return and leave the Lingfeng Mountains.”
"Reasonable judgment."
The professor sat up cross-legged, "Judging from your description, it should indeed be an ancient ruin, not an ordinary ancient ruin.
Then, in the ruins, There is a high possibility that there are things that make Gu Long feel nervous.
There may even be some ‘living creatures’, and you were right not to venture too far into them. "
The hunters looked at each other.
"Are there any living things among the thousands of years of ruins? "Gordon asked in disbelief.
He said before whether something ran out or something, but he just said it casually without thinking.
"Similar discoveries have been made in the ancient tower. . ”
The professor mentioned something vaguely, and then changed the topic, "The technology of the ancient ancestors has developed to a level that we cannot imagine.
To give the simplest example, Gordon, your epitaph sword .
We look amazing now. To the ancient ancestors, this incomparable thing may just be the most common and ordinary knife, but yours happens to be better preserved.
Those incomprehensible technologies."< br>
“Nana that”
Alva looked at the entrance of the temporary camp from time to time, as if he was worried that something terrible would suddenly rush in, "Then should we leave as soon as possible?
Let's leave the sub-peak, ah, no, That ruin is not too far away.”
“We have to wait until night to leave,” Gordon said helplessly, “It’s not as good as those others. The strange legend is that the threat of Lan Long is more direct."
Anhil, who had reorganized the ammunition, also raised his head and glanced at Alva, "Don't scare yourself, there are no such messy things.
If something terrible escaped from the ruins, it would not leave any trace behind.
Except for the ruins themselves, everything around them was normal, and the herbivores didn't look crazy, so they were fine. ”
Alva nodded quickly, while trying to control his sight, not to stare at the dark entrance.
“Okay, don’t think so much, you can think about this when you have time. No, it's better to organize and refine the terrain information collected by Gordon and others and draw it into a map. "
"Ah, okay, I'm good at this! "
After talking about Alva, the professor turned his attention to the hunters again, "You have been running all night and you are all tired. Go and rest quickly.
Just as Gordon said, we set out as soon as dark, and it was time to leave this place. "
Night once again enveloped the Lingfeng Mountains.
Under the pressure of Gordon and others, Alva was forced to abandon a large amount of "unnecessary" luggage, such as books, papers and painting supplies.
In order to keep up with the hunters during the subsequent evacuation, he had to reduce his load. After all, the professor still had to be carried on his back.
“I can walk by myself. "The professor, who was tied to Alva's back like a baby, looked a little dark.
Gordon suppressed a smile, "Professor, your legs are not yet strong, so it is more convenient this way."
"Forget it." The professor sighed, "It doesn't matter if I am embarrassed, as long as everyone can evacuate safely. Okay, I have a bad feeling."
Gordon's expression became serious." It's hard to talk about "feeling". The professor would say this, and it shouldn't be unreasonable. "Professor, have you noticed anything unusual?"
"Hmm"
The professor pushed up his glasses. , "The air pressure is a bit low. I think the weather tonight will not be too clear and calm."
"There will be a storm? Is it because of Lanlong?" Gordon asked quietly.
"It should rain, but whether there will be a storm depends on Lan Long's mood."
Gordon nodded.
The professor spent at least half of his life in the wild or on an airship, and Gordon completely trusted his judgment about the weather.
Even though he has been staying in an almost completely closed camp in recent days.
Gordon called his companions together and told them that there might be rain tonight.
The choice of traveling all night in the rain sounds a bit risky, but in order to convey the news as soon as possible, it is also to avoid long nights and dreams.
They decided not to change the itinerary.
"Are you all ready? After leaving the camp, we have to run non-stop. It is best to leave the Lingfeng Mountains before dawn."
"Me, me Try your best!" Alva didn't seem very confident.
Although his physical fitness is better than ordinary people, there is still a gap compared with hunters.
Gordon thought for a while, then took out two bottles of forced medicine and handed them to him, "Considering the danger, we can't stop and rest in the middle. If you feel like you can't hold on, just drink this."< br>
“I understand.”
“Then let’s set off.”
Gordon put on his helmet, pulled down his visor, and walked out of the camp first, Haya Ta and the others followed suit.
Alva took one last look at the temporary camp that had provided them with shelter for several days, and tightened the strip of cloth holding the professor's body.
"Professor, is this okay? Is it too tight?"
"I'm not that fragile yet, keep up."
The main peak of Lingfeng, shrouded in clouds The top of the giant columnar mountain.
The white dragon opened its eyes.
It looks east.
The vague smell coming from there made it restless.
Purple red spots appeared on its gorgeous spinous fins. It gently swayed its slender body and took advantage of the wind.
The water vapor containing mysterious power stirs the clouds around the peak. The clouds swirl around and gradually form a huge cyclone covering the sky.
"Rumble--."
In the cyclonic clouds that are no longer pure white, thunder shines brightly.
The dull thunder seemed to be a signal.
The warm raindrops fell on the ground, and the raindrops became more dense, and finally turned into a torrential rain, covering the mountains. (End of this chapter)
