Chapter 975 The Grand Leader’s Commission
After running all the way, Gordon and his party finally broke out of the underground cave, and then summoned a pterosaur to fly out of the rift.
When the earthquake completely stopped, the cave at the bottom of the rift valley had completely collapsed, and the rift valley itself had more than doubled in size due to the collapse of the ground.
Looking at the messy land, Gordon was a little unsure whether this was a coincidence?
It was the guy called the "Earth God" by the Strange Face Tribe who deliberately caused the earthquake, blocking the access to the earth's veins and hiding the traces.
During the landslide, Gordon and others who were the first to react were in danger, but the Strange Face Tribe suffered a lot of losses.
In addition to the golden priest and the dozen strange-faced tribesmen who left with the "god", there were also a small number of people who were buried underground because they could not escape.
Luckily among the misfortunes, the Strange Face Tribe is as good at digging as Ellu, and as long as they are not killed on the spot, they can always get out slowly.
But even so, casualties are still inevitable.
After this sacrifice of the Strange Face Clan, there were only less than 40 members of the huge tribe left, even including the wounded, which originally exceeded sixty.
Reduced the number of employees by nearly half.
However, the most troublesome thing is not the casualties, but the departure of the "gods" and leaders.
This made the surviving strange-faced tribesmen confused. They didn't know who to listen to, and they didn't know what to do next.
The experienced orc scholars had no choice but to take them back to their home caves and arrange for the uninjured or lightly injured Strange Face tribe to take care of the seriously injured ones, continue the search and rescue, and go out to forage for food and medicinal herbs.
Let the Pork Chops and Pandan heal their wounds, and the hunters hunted the herbivorous dragons, helping the Strange Face Tribe obtain a large amount of meat.
After two or three days of busy work, the situation of this group of strange-faced tribe finally settled down.
Looking at the strange-faced tribe surrounding Mr. Monroe, Gordon was convinced that as long as Mr. Monroe put on a gorgeous mask, climbed up and shouted, he would immediately become the new leader of this group of strange-faced tribe.
Of course, Mr. Monroe had no such intention.
But he planned to wait until the Strange Face Tribe elected a new leader before leaving. Herta also decided to stay and help, while observing and recording the rare ecology of the Strange Face Tribe competing for leadership.
Gordon and others returned to the Star Stronghold on the second day after the full moon night, and reported a series of information to the Commander-in-Chief on the surge of energy in the earth's veins and the appearance of the mysterious ancient dragon.
This is how I learned the scientific name of the golden ancient dragon - Mamu Tarot (Brilliant Dragon).
Weapons and Lynx Pavilion Tavern.
The three people, two cats and one dog from the Silverside Hunting Group are enjoying lunch.
Gordon's thoughts were a little wandering, and he didn't even notice that the fork in his hand was empty, so he put it directly into his mouth.
Anhil glanced at him, "Do you think it's strange?"
Gordon came back to his senses and awkwardly put down the fork that was almost deformed by the bite, and said: "It's indeed a bit strange. It seems that the commander-in-chief doesn't pay much attention to the information about the Xuan Huilong?"
Hayata, who was breaking the rusks, paused, nodded and said, "I also feel that there is no follow-up investigation arranged."
Although he was not directly involved, Anhil had already learned the whole story from the two of them. He put down the tableware, wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said:
“Actually, it’s not surprising. The ancient dragon stays quietly underground and only appears once in forty or fifty years. It is not aggressive, so leaving it alone is the best option.
The investigation team does not have as many manpower as the guild, and it will be even more uneconomical if the other party is angered during the investigation. "
“Who says he doesn’t take it seriously? He actually cares a lot about the information you brought back.”
The muscular old man laughed and talked to himself and sat down at their table.
“Grand Commander!” Gordon and the other three quickly stood up and said hello.
“Sit down, sit down, don’t be so polite.” The leader crossed his arms, “You guys thought there was no follow-up, but in the end, the follow-up fell on me, tsk.”
"ah?"
“That guy asked me to put down what I was doing and investigate the rift that leads deep into the ground to confirm whether the passage has been completely closed by the subsidence.”
The Grand Captain scratched his chin and said, "I was also asked to wander around the canyons, tunnels, caves, etc. nearby to see if there are any other passages."
Gordon suddenly realized the key, "What the Commander-in-Chief wants to investigate is not the Xuanhuilong, but the energy of the earth's veins?"
Chuanhuilong appears after 40 years. The key to this matter is not the Xuanhuilong, but the energy of the earth's veins.
It would be fine if it was just an accidental phenomenon once every few years, but if the energy activity of the ley lines becomes higher and higher and the energy activities become more and more frequent, the problem will be different. "
Ancier frowned, "I heard that there was an earthquake in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland more than half a year ago. Is it possible?" The leader waved his hand to interrupt Ancier's speculation, "Don't scare yourself, maybe it's just This continent is burping, hahahaha!"
Three people, two cats and one dog stared at him.
The leader's laughter gradually subsided, and he scratched his mane-like hair in embarrassment, "Isn't this joke funny?"
Gordon and the other three laughed dryly in agreement.
“Anyway! I’ll be busy in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland for a while!” The leader raised his voice to cover up his embarrassment.
"I want to entrust you with some things. I originally planned to go there in person after resting for a while, but now I think it may be too late."
This should be the real reason why the group leader came to see them. The expressions of Gordon and others became serious.
"You say."
“Don’t be so serious, it’s not such an urgent matter.” The grand leader crossed his arms again.
“Well, how should I put it, I have been tracking a guy over the years, and that guy is probably the source of the ancient dragon turmoil in the New World.
Well, at least it is one of the sources. "
When Gordon and others heard this, their eyes widened.
As if he didn't notice the surprise of the three people, the leader continued: "That guy's name is Nergilante (Nergigante). He is a terrifying ancient dragon that can hunt other ancient dragon creatures."
“Hunting the ancient dragon?!” Anhil couldn’t help but confirm.
"Yes." The grand leader nodded seriously, "Hunting the ancient dragon. I once witnessed it hunting the steel dragon. They eventually chased and flew into the sky. I'm not sure whether the steel dragon was killed in the end. die.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the strength of the Nergigante is enough to suppress the Steel Dragon. "
“Suppress the steel dragon.” Hayata said to himself.
Gordon asked tentatively: "Do you want us to track and investigate the Nergigante for you?"
“You can say that, that guy is elusive, and I don’t know where it is now.” The grand leader pondered for a moment and continued:
“Actually, a few months ago, before you arrived in the New World, we discovered the Capitanosaurus in the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound.
After confirmation, the Yanwangsaurus is an individual we have never encountered before, and it is likely that it just flew over from the Old World.
After wandering in the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound for a while, it headed north.
It just so happens that the area where the Nergigante is active is also in the north of the New World. I personally guess that the Flame King Dragon is likely to become the new target of the Nergigant.
If you are willing, you can go to the north for a while.
There is no need to be too purposeful. This kind of free exploratory investigation is just luck. No discovery is the norm. Just treat it as a trip.
We have been doing this for decades, hahaha! "
"We cannot agree to this immediately. We need to discuss it and seek the consent of the commander-in-chief." Gordon answered more cautiously.
The head of the regiment smiled and said: "Of course, I also said there is no rush in this matter, just relax."
Hayata asked: "Is the north you are talking about the Grand Canyon?"
“No, no, no, further north.”
“Coral platform?”
“Well, we have to go further north!”
Hmm, some readers are looking forward to opening the rich woman directly. This is really not possible at the moment, and the survey level is far from enough (x)
The game is full of unprecedented round-robin battles. We still need five groups to come and the level of personnel and materials has improved before we can fight.
Dig a hole first
