Chapter 1007: Underground Acid Spring
The same speculation naturally emerged in the hearts of the hunters.
After all, they came here just to confirm this guess.
“Panlan, what do you think?” Gordon took the peeling knife and brushed the red hair.
Hunters surrounding Fangwei all looked at Xianglan, startling it.
“Why, why do you ask Omeow?!”
"Although but." Ancier considered his words, "You are the only one among us who has directly faced the Flame King Dragon."
Gail and Ajian, who had a clear understanding of the concept of "ancient dragon", both looked at Xianglan as if they had seen something ghostly.
Just this scumbag cat?
Xianglan reacted for several seconds before coming back to her senses, "Then the meow counts as a meow?"
Two years ago, in the depths of Latio volcano, when they used pork chops, bones, and fire sickles to induce Tyrannosaurus to return to its lair, they indeed witnessed the figures of Yanfeilong and Yanwangsaurus.
The so-called face-to-face just means hiding in a cave a few hundred meters away, quietly spying on the battle between three ancient dragon-level creatures, and at the same time praying that you will not be affected by the aftermath of the battle.
Gordon shrugged, "At least you did see it with your own eyes."
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Xianglan scratched her ears crazily and moved closer to the stump to observe.
“The color of this fur is indeed similar to what I remember, meow.” Xianglan said and sniffed carefully twice more.
In addition to the ubiquitous rotten odor all around, it also smelled a faint smell of sulfur.
After thinking about it, it took out its claws and scratched **** the remaining dark red leather.
There are a few sparks jumping out of the tough and rough leather surface like sandpaper.
It raised its head, "I think it is indeed the tail of Yanwanglong. Although the scale powder that can explode is gone, the skin still has the ability to ignite fire."
“This verification method does make some sense.” An Xil nodded and said softly.
At least it’s more convincing than just speaking from memory.
Gordon carefully inspected the skin, flesh and hair on the stump of the tail, "There are a lot of bite marks on the broken bones. The decay time is at least one month, but the upper limit is not easy to determine, maybe a few months."
It does match the time when the Flame King Dragon flew over the Grand Canyon, and it is most likely it. "
As he spoke, Gordon cut off a small piece of tissue and tentatively put it into the insect cage on his belt.
These little creatures can even trace the soil left by their footprints and the scales they fell off, which may also help them find the location of the Yanwanglong corpse.
After the skin and flesh tissue fell into the insect guide cage, the shiny guide insects landed on it and were silent for a long time without any reaction.
This is the first time that hunters have seen this kind of situation.
“What’s going on?” Gale, who spoke quickly, asked.
Ajian pinched his chin and said: "It should be that the distance is too far. The smell environment of the Miasma Valley is relatively disturbing, and the detection range of the guide insects is also limited."
Gordon stood up, grabbed the stump of tail, and threw it onto the back of the gale.
“It’s okay, we will continue to move forward as planned. When we are close enough, the guide insects will naturally respond.”
“That’s true.”
Anhil rubbed Lifeng’s head and stuffed a piece of dried meat into its big mouth as a reward. “Finally, I found some clues.”
Hunters took action quickly, and their target was still the core area of Miasma Valley.
With the presence of the stump of the tail and the guide worm, the task of finding the body of Yanwangsaurus, or in other words, "confirming whether Yanwangsaurus has become a corpse" will become much easier.
The group of people continued to move forward along the "expressway". On the way, they saw another trident-shaped tailbone that stood as tall as a mountain peak.
It also belongs to the species Ophiosaurus.
As for whether this completely stony tailbone and the previous skull belong to the same basilisk, it is unknown.
According to scholar A Jian, the number of snake king dragon skeletons in the Valley of Miasma is at least four.
On the way, the hunters encountered another "attack" by the Bone Hammer Dragon.
“What are these?” Anhir asked with a frown. The road ahead was broken, replaced by a huge dark yellow network intertwined between the rocks.
This huge mesh covers an area of thousands of square meters. It looks a bit like a vine, but it has an elastic and slimy feel that is different from the vine.
Jian shrugged, "It's a combination of mycelium, vines, and other things. I can't tell. Large monsters like Osteosaurus may sometimes sink when they pass by. It's quite interesting."
We will leave the upper area from here and go down to the valley bottom. "
“How to get down?”
"follow me."
The hunters carefully stepped on the giant net and followed Ajian to the center of the giant net.
There is a hole there, and several dark yellow fibers that are no different from the surrounding giant nets hang down like ropes to the bottom of the valley.
“Is this thing also formed naturally?” Gordon couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course not, it’s the rope we hang up.”
Ah Jian smiled and said: "These fibers are like ivy, growing down the rope. When the rope is corroded by the miasma, these fibers are still there."
"I see."
After checking the filter masks and goggles, the hunters slid down the fibers and returned to the bottom of the valley smoothly.
The concentration of miasma here is obviously much higher than that of the area that was attacked by the Fang Pterosaur and the Big Bithiosaurus before. It is like a thick fog that affects the vision, and there is a slight burning sensation on the skin.
With half of her skin exposed, Gale was paralyzed, literally.
“Let’s speed up.” Ajian’s voice was slightly distorted through the mask, “Quickly pass through this section and reach the bottom of the underground, and the miasma will dissipate.”
The hunters couldn't help but quicken their pace.
During this period, they were attacked by a paralyzing dragon wandering nearby.
But this time, they did not have any more entanglements with these annoying guys. After Gordon stepped up and kicked away the charging Paralyzer Dragon, the group of people quickly left.
Finally it didn’t cause any more trouble.
Almost running into the underground tunnel, the hunter and his party arrived at the underground cave at the bottom of the valley.
The moment they rushed out of the dark cave passage, they felt that their vision was clear.
Those annoying thick miasmas have disappeared, but the environment has changed far more than that.
Whether it is in the upper part of the Miasma Valley or at the bottom of the valley, gray and dark yellow are always the main colors.
Even in areas where there is no miasma, various mycelia and carpets will stain everything around them with an unpleasant yellowish color.
But it’s different here.
A soft indigo shimmer enveloped everything around him. This light came from the shimmering moss on the cave walls and the clear water pools all around.
Everything around them is quiet and beautiful, but the hunters instinctively sense danger.
There is definitely something wrong with these ponds, normal spring water will not glow
Gail, who was about to take off the filter mask, stopped, and asked confirmingly, "You can't take off the mask in this place, right?"
“Ah, absolutely not!”
Ah Jian said quickly: "There is no miasma in this place, not because the miasma cannot penetrate, but because the environment here is so harsh that even the microorganisms in the miasma cannot survive here.
Don't get close to those ponds. They look like clear water, but are actually strong acid.
Transparent acidic gas is also diffused in the air, which can burn mucous membranes and respiratory tracts. "
Gail gritted his teeth.
The exposed skin on her abdomen and thighs was already a little sickly red, although as a hunter, skin was not considered "delicate".
But this is miasma and acid mist
“Panlan, hurry up and give us some powder!”
Xianglan rolled her eyes, took out the life dust and threw it on her.
