Chapter 660 Can it be considered a flying dragon even 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 resting for a while at the hunter camp near the lava canyon, and leaving a warning message not to enter the canyon, Gordon and others set out on their way back.
There were 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 accumulated in his heart and a little fear 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 really 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 now.
Gordon held his eyes open 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 and his channels were also very important.
Anhil and Feng Ying, who returned to Naguli Village in advance, 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 happens, 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 the armored dragon, but in the end he did not 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 I have never been so hot.
The magma was all golden, and the creatures in the canyon and even near the canyon disappeared without a trace, not even small reptiles such as spiders and lizards were seen. "
The expressions of the Tulong village chief and brigade leader became increasingly 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 went into the canyon for reconnaissance and ended up here.”
Gordon pointed to an area highlighted with charcoal on the map and continued: "Traces of that monster were found in the largest magma lake in the lava canyon.
That guy was diving deep under the magma, but we used the method of blowing up boulders to scare it out for a while.
It was a monster wrapped in a pitch-black carapace. Judging from the part of its body exposed on the surface of the magma, it should be more than thirty meters long.
It has no wings, its body structure is very compact and thick, it has two huge fangs, and it is very aggressive.
Hmm, 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 studied painting seriously since childhood, was very good at sketching. Except for the details of the carapace that he had no time to observe, and the lower body hidden under the magma, he could at least restore 70% to 80% of the appearance of the monster.
The Tulong village chief and group leader took the sketch, looked at it carefully and then looked at each other.
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."
“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.
"Um."
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', 'god of black', this is the Frasia region. dialect, the earliest record of it comes from the village of Bokai.
An ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild has overwhelming power that rivals or even surpasses some ancient dragons. The guild calls it a 'tyrannical dragon'. "
Gordon wanted to complain. It was obviously a monster that lived deep in the volcanic zone, but the earliest record came from the village of Bokai in the Frasian Snow Mountains far away in the northeastern corner of the continent? !
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 of the ancient dragon creatures have a body shape of six limbs, four limbs and two wings, but there are many exceptions.
There are Qilin that looks like a horse, Lanlong with wings all over its body, and huge Fengshan Dragon, Laoshan Dragon, etc., all of which also have no wings.
So, if you have to say who it looks like, the terrifying creature named Tyrannosaurus seems to be slightly similar to Fengshan Dragon?
Hmm, 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 Academy discovered that this creature has a close genetic relationship. , more inclined to the flying dragon species."
“Huh? A wingless flying dragon?”
“Well, scholars believe that this is a very ancient creature that is related to the ‘original flying dragon’ as the ancestor of all flying dragons, showing that this biological branch has not yet evolved a life form with wings.
By the way, Honglong can be regarded as the "intermediate form" in the evolution of flying dragons. The ancestor of Honglong, "Rex Flying Dragon", is also very closely related to Tyrannosaurus. "
".Fine."
From Gordon's point of view, it is a bit strange to classify a creature like Tyrannosaurus that has no wings at all as a "flying dragon species". After all, does Boomosaurus still have wing membranes?
Ignoring these biologically 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 these questions is because they are the only high-ranking 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 what you said, 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.
According to the guild's handling habits, it should not directly order a crusade. It is most likely to send a professional team to try to induce it and 'send' it back to the core of the volcano.
Fortunately you didn't provoke it and take that guy out of the lava canyon, otherwise it would have been 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!
