Chapter 660: Can you still be considered a flying dragon without wings?
Gordon and his party retreated cautiously. When they were far away from the boundary of the huge lava lake, they began to speed up and leave the lava canyon as quickly as possible.
The temperature outside the lava canyon is still close to 50 degrees, and even exceeds 50 degrees in some areas, but the hunters still feel "cool".
After taking a short rest in the hunter camp near the lava canyon, and leaving a warning message never to enter the canyon, Gordon and others embarked on their return journey.
No surprises or dangers along the way.
Encountered two attacks by small monsters, before Gordon and Hayata could even draw their weapons, the strong wind rushed out, biting off the necks of the red velociraptors and tearing them apart as if to vent their anger. Array.
Gordon didn't stop it. He knew that Gale was venting the restlessness in his heart and the slight fear he had after seeing the black monster.
Another two days passed, and the dusty hunters finally returned to Naguli Village.
The long-lost sense of security enveloped them, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out.
Gordon wanted to lie down where he was, not caring about anything, and sleep all day and night. Hayata Pork Chop and the others also looked tired and sleepy.
But there are more important things than rest right now.
Gordon forced his eyelids and immediately found the Tulong village chief of Naguli Village. The leader of the brigade was also found. This old man had a good relationship with the guild. His Channels are also important.
Anhil and Feng Ying, who returned to Naguli Village early, had already reported part of the situation to them. Therefore, the two old men attached great importance to the information brought back by Gordon and the others.
At the home of the Tulong village chief, Gordon spread out the map that they had drawn in a mess.
“This is the route that the armored dragon took to migrate to the nearby mine. We traced it backwards to the lava canyon. If nothing unexpected happened, the lava canyon was the original habitat of the armored dragon.”
Speaking of this, Gordon suddenly wanted to ask the village chief, Feng Ying and the others about their hunting of armored dragons, but in the end he didn't waste time.
With Ancier here, it is impossible for an armored dragon, which is not in very good shape to begin with, to make any splash.
“The magma in the lava canyon has been completely activated. When I came to Naguli Village to dig protective stones, I have been there many times, and it has never been so hot.
The magma is golden, and the creatures in the canyon and even near the canyon have disappeared, not even small reptiles such as spiders and lizards are seen. "
The Tulong tribe village chief and the brigade. The leader's expression became more serious.
Even if there is no news of the appearance of mysterious monsters, the complete destruction of an entire regional ecological environment is enough to attract the guild headquarters' great attention.
"We entered the canyon for reconnaissance, and ended up here."
Gordon pointed to an area highlighted with charcoal on the map, and continued: "The largest scale in the lava canyon Traces of the monster were found in the lava lake
That guy was diving deep under the magma, but we used the method of blowing down boulders to scare it out for a while.
It was a monster wrapped in a pitch-black carapace, and the surface of the magma was exposed through it. Judging from the body, the length should be more than thirty meters
It has no wings, has a very compact and thick body structure, has two huge fangs, and is very aggressive.
Well, by the way, Hayata made a sketch, you two can take a look. ”
Hayata immediately took out the portrait of the monster she drew while resting in the camp from her waist bag.
Hayata, who had learned to draw seriously since she was a child, has a very high level of sketching, except The details of the carapace that I didn’t have time to observe, as well as the lower body part hidden under the magma, at least restored 70% of the monster’s appearance.
The Tulong village chief and group leader took the sketch and looked at it carefully. Look at each other.
"It is indeed that guy. Why did he escape from the core of the volcano?" The Tulong village chief muttered.
The leader of the brigade lowered the brim of his hat, "Judging from the time, it may be related to the incident with the Sky Comet Dragon. There are many ancient dragon-level creatures disturbed by the Sky Comet Dragon all over the world."
< br>"Do you two know any information about this dark monster?" Gordon asked proactively.
He and Hayata present are both high-level hunters. As long as it does not involve "taboos", basically all monster information is within their scope of authority.
“Yeah.”
The Tulong village chief nodded his head vigorously, and the wild boar's long tusk-like beard almost missed the pig's chop. "Akamutorum means 'disaster' and 'black god'. This is the Frasia region." dialect, the earliest record of it comes from Bokai Village.
An ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild. With overwhelming power that rivals or even surpasses some ancient dragons, the guild calls it a 'tyrannosaurus'."
Gordon wanted to complain that it was obviously a monster that lived deep in the volcanic zone. , but the earliest record comes from the village of Bokai in the snow-capped mountains of Frasia, far away in the northeastern corner of the mainland? !
After hearing the key words in the second half of the sentence, he immediately changed the focus of his attention.
"An ancient dragon-level creature? Isn't that guy an ancient dragon?" Gordon asked.
As far as Gordon knows, most ancient dragon creatures have a body shape of six limbs, four limbs and two wings, but there are many exceptions.
There are unicorns that look like horses, Lanlongs with wings all over their bodies, and huge Fengshan dragons and Laoshan dragons, all of which also have no wings.
It seems that if you have to say who it looks like, the terrifying creature named Tyrannosaurus seems to be slightly similar to Fengshan Dragon?
Well, fangs.
"Indeed, Tyrannosaurus is not an ancient dragon species."
The leader of the brigade crossed his arms and explained: "Initially, the guild also classified it as an ancient dragon species, but with the deepening of the research, scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and the Dragon Li Institute discovered that this creature has a close genetic relationship. , more inclined to the flying dragon species."
"Huh? A flying dragon species without wings?"
"Well, scholars believe that this is a very ancient creature. There is a genetic relationship with the 'original flying dragon' that has the ancestor of the flying dragon, which shows that this biological branch has not yet evolved a life form before the wings.
By the way, Honglong can be regarded as the evolutionary process of the flying dragon. The 'intermediate form' of Honglong is also very closely related to Tyrannosaurus, the ancestor of Honglong.
From Gordon's point of view, it is a bit strange to classify a creature like Tyrannosaurus, which has no wings at all, as a "flying dragon species". After all, Boomosaurus still has wing membranes?
Ignoring these biological related things, Gordon continued to ask: "So how will the guild deal with this Tyrannosaurus in the future? Will it order a crusade?"
The reason why Gordon asked This is because there are only a few high-level hunters in Naguli Village at the moment.
If the guild really decides to conquer the Tyrannosaurus, the task will most likely fall on them.
“Probably not.”
The brigade leader shook his head and said: "According to your statement, the Tyrannosaurus has no intention of leaving the volcano. It is just sleeping in the lava canyon and poses little threat to the outside world.
Follow the guild's instructions If you are used to it, you should not directly order a crusade. There is a high probability that you will send a professional team to try. Try to induce it and send it back to the core of the volcano.
Fortunately, you didn't provoke it and take the guy out of the lava canyon, otherwise it would be time to issue an 'emergency declaration.'" >
Zhupa shook his body when he heard this, then turned around and scratched Liefeng's paw.
Fortunately, I didn’t blow it up directly with a bomb. I will definitely not listen to this guy in the future! (End of chapter)
