The appearance of huge claw marks made Gordon and Ancier's nerves slightly tense.
It would be okay if it was a hunting mission. As long as they paid a little attention, five-star dangerous monsters would not pose a threat to them, but the purpose this time was to protect archaeologists from completing the investigation.
If there can be no fighting, it is better to try not to cause complications.
Ms. Duda, who became nervous, no longer took the time to give Ancil their knowledge on popular science and archaeology, for fear that they would be distracted.
Of course, it may also be because the strong wind is making the ground a little bumpy, and it takes some effort to sit still.
The group of people ran like this among the ruins-strewn mountains for dozens of minutes. Duda, who was lying on the back of the strong wind, suddenly raised his voice and warned: "We're almost there! Do you see the hillside in front of you? It's the hillside. The ruins above!"
Hearing this, Gordon, who was leading the way, slowed down and turned more attention to confirming the surrounding environment.
Anhil, who was at the rear of the team, turned his head slightly, and under his mechanical-looking visor, his eyes quickly scanned every place where a monster might be hiding.
They maintained their alert posture and came to the hillside.
What was displayed in front of them were the remains of a large building. From a modern perspective, it looked a bit like a chapel.
“This is it! According to the data, the rubbing of the ancient document was taken from here!”
The ruins waiting to be investigated were in front of her. Things like the presence of monsters were immediately forgotten by Duda. She turned over and got ready to run into the ruins.
Liefeng opened his mouth and grabbed the back of her scholar's uniform, throwing her back again.
Anhil's order to it is to protect Duda, so she can't be allowed to run around.
Duda was a little confused. Anhil said with a smile: "Just ride it to investigate. Just point and tell it where you want it to take you. It will understand."
Duda was slightly dissatisfied, but he also knew that this was not an ordinary ruins, but a red area where high-risk monsters were active, and the requirements of the guard hunters always had to be listened to.
“Don’t rush in, Pig Chop, let’s go in and check it out.”
“Good meow.”
Gordon left Ancil to "watch" the archaeologists, while he took the pork chop and entered the ruins first.
This ruins is not small in scale, covering an area of about three to four thousand square meters, and the indoor part that is not open to the air is about two thousand square meters.
Of course, it is incomparable to super giant ruins such as the Lingfeng Ruins or the Shuhai Ancient Pagoda. Within a few minutes, Gordon and Pig Chop came out.
“It’s safe, there are no monsters, go in.”
“Go quickly, go quickly.” Duda urged Li Feng forward. She couldn’t wait.
Gordon and Ancil followed Duda.
After a brief exploration before, Gordon guessed that this ruins building might have been a religious place before. There were a lot of stone tablets and carvings inside.
As for what was specifically written on it, of course he couldn't understand it.
This is why the captain of the survey team sent archaeologists to accompany the team to investigate. It would indeed be safer for the hunters to come by themselves, but there would undoubtedly be a lot of information missed.
“Oh! What is engraved on this stone tablet is the content of the ancient document preserved in the Longliyuan Document Library!”
“Damn it, there are so many inscriptions and so much information, why only a few of them were copied back?”
“Put me down! Stupid dog! Don’t drag me! Squat aside for me!”
Looking at Ms. Duda who was lying on the inscription stone, entering into a state of study, constantly pushing Gale's big head.
Gordon shrugged, "Anhil, keep an eye on her. I went outside to take a look. I found some interesting things before."
"What?!" Ms. Duda turned her head sharply, "What is something interesting? Stone sculpture? Stone tablet? Is it a mural?!"
"Uh, no." Gordon waved his hand, "I saw some unseen ores in the rock mass. I am a little concerned about them and plan to collect some back. Maybe they will be of some use."
Gordon took the pork chop out of the hall where the stone monument was and came to the rock wall where he had previously discovered the strange ore.
"I hope it will be something good." Gordon moved his waist and arms, and took out the pickaxe from behind.
“How did Gordon think of a cat with an iron pickaxe?” Pig Chop’s beard trembled, but it didn’t even notice that there was an iron pickaxe hidden under Gordon’s big sword.
“You can’t go in vain. A survey mission is also a collection mission, hehe!”
The iron pickaxe struck at the cracks in the rock wall, and soon, a fist-sized piece of dark red ore was knocked down by him along with many fine fragments of stone.
“Tsk, it doesn’t feel right.”
Gordon smacked his lips, "It's too brittle, it doesn't look like a high-grade metal ore."
Pork Chop is not surprised at all by this. If you can really casually discover a new type of ore with superior properties, then your luck would be outrageous. Gordon has never been like this.
“Anyway, let’s take it back first. Maybe the scholars at Longli Academy will be interested.”
Gordon reached out to fish for the ore, and when his fingertips touched the black ore, he paused.
"Um?"
“What’s wrong, meow?”
"Not sure, it's a bit numb." Gordon became more interested, picked up the bright red ore, and looked at it carefully.
Pork Chop also came over, with four eyes approaching the ore.
“Crack!”
A tiny, almost imperceptible crimson arc of electricity flashed between the Hertzite ore and Gordon's Tyrannosaurus wrist armor.
A man and a cat looked at each other in confusion.
“You saw it too?”
“I saw a meow, it looked like a meow with dragon energy.”
“Ore containing dragon energy?” Gordon thought it was incredible, but he and Pork Chop had both seen the red arc flash, so it couldn’t be an illusion.
After thinking for a while, he pulled out the epitaph sword behind him.
This epitaph sword passed down from the ancient era is very sensitive to dragon energy, and may react to this ore.
With this thought in mind, he pressed the Hessian ore onto the edge of the Epitaph sword.
The moment the ore came into contact with the sword blade, the inscription on the sword suddenly lit up, and a small ball of red lightning exploded.
“Crack!”
Gordon quickly threw away the black ore and shook his hand, "It can really arouse dragon-type energy."
“I actually dug something out for you, meow, let’s dig out a few more pieces and go back, meow!”
Pork Chop stared at the black ore, but what he was thinking about was whether this thing could possibly replace the scarce dragon-slaying fruit and be used to create some special explosives or something.
"good!"
With renewed energy, Gordon swung his pickaxe, knocking down a few more pieces of hirsute-colored ore. He finally stopped until the conspicuous burgundy-red color could no longer be seen in the exposed veins.
The Epitaph Sword with strong dragon attributes and the Terror Tyrannosaurus armor with poor dragon attributes and poor resistance were not suitable for direct contact with the black ore, so Gordon stuffed these items into the package of pork chops.
Then, they happily returned to the hall of the ruins building to share their new discoveries with Anhir and Ms. Duda.
As they walked away, they didn't notice that several butterflies with red light fluttered their wings and flew closer, landing on the black fragments that fell to the ground.
