Chapter 250 Monster in the Lake
"Your Majesty, we found a black lake in the valley, which is very large." The exploration team members who returned to the camp hurriedly reported to Purficott, and then submitted it to her A simple map drawn.
Perfect looked at this rather scrawled simple map and couldn't help but frowned, but then asked: "If we want to get close to that lake, is there any way?"
Facing this problem, the exploration team thought about it and then said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. The entire valley is sunken. The location of the lake is the lowest point of the geological depression. If the valley is silted up with poisonous gas, it will definitely accumulate. In and around this lake.
Unless the poisonous gas in the valley can be drained, it is very unrealistic to approach the lake.”
Hearing this, Purficott didn't feel any surprise. After all, the strong smell of rotten eggs in the valley already indicated that there was a very high concentration of hydrogen sulfide deposits. It could be said that Death Valley deserved its reputation.
But this is not an unsolvable problem for Purficott.
Putting this question aside for the time being, Purficott looked at the exploration team again and asked him: "Besides, are there any other discoveries?"
In Perfect Court, there should be only these noteworthy discoveries in this valley, so asking more is just in passing.
However, the exploration team members nodded seriously, and then replied with a stern look: "We also found a monster in the black lake. I can't accurately describe what it looks like, but it looks like A rotting corpse, if we hadn’t seen it move, we would have thought it was just a corpse.”
"Monster? In a place like this?" Purficott felt a little surprised to be able to survive in a suspected oil lake filled with hydrogen sulfide gas. If this thing were placed in the original world, it would probably drive a lot of biologists crazy.
However, Purficott was not too surprised. After all, there is magic and alchemy in this world, and it may not be impossible to have some outrageous creatures.
So she just asked out of curiosity: "What does it look like? Have you recorded it?"
"Yes, it looks about twenty meters long. , because we can’t measure the specific data in the air, but it is roughly estimated to be this length.” The exploration team took out another drawing from their body, which showed a rotten head drawn with clearer and more detailed strokes than the map. The same "dragon?" shaped creature.
"More than twenty meters long? It's unbelievable that creatures on land can grow so big!" Purficott's strong curiosity was aroused at this time, and he looked carefully at the rotten-like shape on the picture. The "dragon?" who found the corpse asked one more question: "Are these its skin and flesh? Isn't this thing really the creation of an evil wizard?"
No wonder Purficott had such doubts. After all, the thing drawn in the picture in front of him really looked like a bone dragon covered with a layer of carrion.
"It shouldn't be its skin and flesh. We noticed that the carrion once fell from its body. It looks like it wrapped the corpses of other creatures around itself." The exploration team member told Perfico Te replied, and also explained: "I don't know if it is the creation of an evil wizard, but it does seem to be some kind of living creature, not a moving corpse. At least I saw it Obvious behavior of hunting prey. "Hunting? Are there other living creatures besides it?" Purficott looked at the exploration team. If so, that means. Things may be better than expected in the valley.
However, the exploration team member shook his head, took the map and pointed it out to Purficott: "There is a cliff on the other side of the valley. This monster seems to have certain flying capabilities. It can jump up the cliff. , hunting the animals on the cliff. "
"The cliff is interesting." When Purficott heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he asked the exploration team: "It can be reached from the camp. Is it a cliff?" The exploration team member gestured on the map and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it just requires a long detour, which takes about half a day. The terrain is fairly flat along the way, so there is nothing difficult to walk. ”
The distance can be said to be far or close, but Purficott has already put his mind on it.
However, for the sake of safety, she asked again: "Is there poisonous gas above the cliff?"
"No, although we did not land at the time, we also lowered the height. We can be sure that we were on the cliff. There was no smell of rotten eggs, and we had a tailwind at that time. If the poisonous gas drifted up, it would be blown up the cliff," the exploration team member confirmed to Purficott.
"Very good! Prepare a small team and set off early tomorrow morning. I'm going to go to the cliff to see what's going on in this valley and this monster." Purficott made up his mind and prepared to go in person tomorrow Head to the bluff to explore the entire valley.
Samantha did not object to Purficott's decision.
From the conversation between Purficott and the exploration team just now, she was able to determine the place where the large force on the cliff can reach, and if the large force can reach it, they can bring the Steam Knight Armor there.
With the Steam Knight Armor, Samantha is not worried about the threat of a mere monster at all.
In Samantha's opinion, this monster just looks a little weird and has a bigger body. Even if it is really a giant dragon, it can still be killed with the force of the Steam Knight. great deeds.
So she was confident that she could protect Perfecticot even when attacked by monsters.
Of course, Samantha will not take the initiative to provoke the monster if it is not necessary. She will stay with Purfict tomorrow. If the monster has a tendency to fly up the cliff, she will take Purpose with her as soon as possible. Ficott evacuated to ensure she was not in danger.
Samantha was very serious about this point, and she brought it up in front of Purficott, making her promise not to do anything risky.
Perfect didn't feel dissatisfied with Samantha's attitude. After all, Samantha was doing her duty to protect herself.
And for Purficott, she really has no interest in seeing a dragon up close, except for dead or specimens.
What's more, instead of observing the monster, what she wants to know more is whether the oil lake can be effectively utilized and mined from the cliff. After all, it is really difficult to enter the valley from their current location. It's too difficult.
