Chapter 999 Invitation from the Strange Face Clan
“That’s all that can be ‘guessed’, and the rest cannot be confirmed without seeing it on the ground.”
Gordon crossed his arms and said, "Madam, can you lend me the miasma-resistant stone?"
I want to go deep into the core area of the Miasma Valley to take a look. We need to first confirm whether Yanwanglong has died in the Miasma Valley, so that the next investigation can determine the direction. "
The leader of the third phase team looked at Gordon, "I don't mind letting you use this protective stone for the time being. After all, we currently have no plans to investigate the core of the canyon, so we can leave it alone.
What’s more, you dug it out with your own hands.
From the perspective of our dragon tribe, there is a special ‘relationship’ between you and this protective stone.
But I think it would be better for you to seek the opinions of your companions first. "
Gordon turned his head sideways, and sure enough, Ancil was staring at him sideways.
There is only one miasma-resistant guard stone, which means that only one person can eventually enter the core area of the canyon.
Gordon is naturally the most suitable candidate, but the risks involved cannot be ignored.
Leaving aside everything else for the moment, the ancient dragon named "Zombie Dragon" is the biggest danger.
Unless there is a special emergency, even the guild headquarters rarely sends high-ranking hunters to independently explore areas where ancient dragons are confirmed to be present.
The risk is too great.
"Even if I agree with you to take risks alone, Hayata will not agree." Anhir's tone was a little cold.
"Well"
Gordon can also understand this concern. Thinking about it from another perspective, if Ancil or Hayata wanted to explore the ancient dragon's lair alone, he would not be able to agree.
The leader of the third phase of the regiment chuckled softly, "Actually, there is no need to think that the miasma in the Miasma Valley is so terrible. In addition to the protective stone, we also have other protection methods.
The core area with the strongest miasma will be discussed separately. I guarantee that your activities in other areas of the Miasma Valley will not be a big problem. "
Gordon immediately said: "That's okay. Let's go down together. When we reach the core area, I will go in alone. If we are really in danger, I will withdraw immediately.
With your cover, even if we are attacked by the ancient dragon species, we can escape unscathed. "
Anshil was quite acceptable to this plan, but he did not agree immediately. “We will discuss it together after Hayata and the others come back.”
Late in the middle of the night, fluorescent flying black hats gather in groups and float in the wind.
The air on the continental coral platform is like sea water, and the wind is like an ocean current, bringing rich nutrients from the miasma valley at the bottom, which is a delicious meal for black hats and coral polyps.
In the research base, there are still bright lights in the cabin that was converted into a comprehensive laboratory and library.
The schedule of scholars may not be as regular and healthy as that of hunters.
It is common to stay up all night for research.
The table was lit with soothing incense, and the leader of the third group was flipping through the information compiled by the scholars. Suddenly, a strange sound came to her ears.
“Dingle bell—.”
The leader of the third phase team put down the materials and raised his delicate eyebrows.
Although there is no special arrangement for night watch, the research base also has a basic alarm mechanism.
To put it bluntly, they are thin lines arranged around the research base that are difficult to see with the naked eye. If the thin lines are tripped or stepped on by creatures, the bells in the room will ring.
The leader of the third group was not very nervous.
This alarm system is not designed to guard against large monsters, such as a male fire dragon or something like that. The sound must be louder than a bell.
The area around the research base is marked with the excrement of powerful monsters every day. This is a way to prevent large monsters from approaching.
What scholars are worried about is that some small creatures may run into the research base and cause trouble, such as circumambulation rabbits and the like.
Running around biting and destroying information and research materials will be a headache. Similar things have happened many times over the years.
But this time it doesn’t seem to be a circumnavigation rabbit.
Gordon and Ancil appeared at the door of their respective rooms, and they were also awakened by the sound of the bell. The leader of the third phase of the regiment made a "hide" gesture to them from a distance, and then extinguished the lights.
The hunters retreated to their rooms, and they were also a little curious as to who the late night intruder could be.
A moment later, a sneaky figure entered the central area of the research base.
It looked around curiously, touching here and there.
He also climbed up to the alchemists' mixing table with great interest, sniffing at the liquids and powders of unknown materials.
But it didn't destroy anything, so the hunters just watched quietly in the dark and were not in a hurry to show up.
As she stretched her little hand towards the precious microscope, the leader of the group finally couldn't bear it any longer. She relit the lighting lamp and knocked the incense burner with her pipe, making a "ding" sound.
The brightening light and sudden metallic sound made the infiltrator jump in fright.
Under the bright yellow light, everyone could see clearly that it was a strange-faced tribe.
In order to avoid the other party's stress reaction, for example, grabbing a microscope and smashing it etc.
The leader of the third phase of the group spoke in a vague and weird tone, "Kabagaka."
“Kaba?!”
Not only Gordon and the others, but even the Strangeface tribe did not expect that this female dragon could speak the orc language of the New World.
Fortunately, the strange-faced tribe's psychological quality was pretty good. After a brief moment of surprise, he danced and communicated with the leader of the third phase of the group.
At this time, the two Gordons, Pig Chop, and several scholars who were also awakened gathered together.
Seeing that the strange-faced tribe became a little nervous, the leader of the group waved her hand and asked the scholars to go back and rest.
The exchange continues.
After a moment, the leader of the third group looked at the hunters with a funny look, "It has no ill intentions, it's coming for you."
Gordon was a little confused at first, but then he remembered something and took off the animal tooth necklace hanging with the guard stone.
That was a gift given to him by the Golden Strange Face Tribe when he was in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.
It is said that wearing this can gain the favor of other strange-faced tribes.
Seeing the necklace, the Strange Face Clan jumped up and down, looking very happy, and then started chattering again.
The hunters naturally didn't understand, so they had no choice but to look at the leader of the third phase of the group for help.
The leader of the third phase team summed it up and said: "Probably, it saw you using powerful explosives before and wanted to follow you to have a look.
Now that I know that you are friends of the Qimian Clan, I plan to invite you to the tribe as guests, saying that the king of the Qimian Clan will definitely welcome you. "
“Meow?!” Pig Cho became excited.
It originally wanted to try to see if it could find traces of the King of Strange Faces in the Grand Canyon, but unexpectedly it was the other party who sent the invitation first.
“What do you think?” Gordon looked at Ancil.
Ancier shook his head, "I'm not interested. A lot of ammunition was consumed in the battle with the Water Demon Bird. I didn't bring much finished ammunition this time. I have to adjust and replenish it in the past few days."
Gordon said "Huh", he also had to prepare for the next move to the Miasma Valley.
It doesn’t mean that everything will be fine once you have the miasma-resistant protective stone. There are still many things that need to be prepared.
Pigpa naturally understood what the two were thinking when he saw this, and his ears drooped.
Gordon smiled and rubbed its head, pulled off the animal tooth necklace and hung it around its neck.
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to go with you this time, but you can go there by yourself. You also want to communicate with the legendary King of the Strange Face Tribe, right?
It’s a good opportunity, don’t give it up. "
“Can you meow?” Pork Chop looked a little hesitant.
"Of course." Gordon jokingly stimulated, "Panglan has learned a lot since arriving in the New World. If she stays still, she will be surpassed by it."
Pigpa's eyes suddenly froze, and he tightened his necklace, "That can't meow, it's still too early to meow!"
