Chapter 1197 He Really Wants to Go Home
I don’t know if it was fate or someone manipulated the result of the draw.
The overall strength of the hunter team in the second exploration was a whole level higher than the first one.
The gold-rimmed team, which turned back to "silver-rimmed" due to Gordon's joining, is needless to say.
The alcohol team, which has absorbed the versatile Aiden and the "external brain" Liyang (sister Haosheng), has also been comprehensively improved in a sense.
The other two teams are mostly five-star elites, and there are two heavy crossbowmen, Lai and Mia.
If necessary, Anxier can gather Aiden, Lai and Mia to form a temporary diffusion heavy crossbow team.
For this reason, Anxier specifically instructed them to bring the Molten Mountain Dragon Heavy Crossbow Cannon and Diffusion Bomb.
The actual combat results have proved that the diffusion heavy crossbow team is a powerful weapon against giant creatures.
The research base full of hunters and compilers once again landed in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, next to the huge ant mound that was specially marked on the map.
Simple lifting facilities were quickly built.
The leader of the third group repeatedly warned the hunters to be careful when taking action and try not to lead Xuanhuilong to the only remaining entrance and exit.
If this entrance is also discovered and destroyed, it will be difficult to find a new entrance.
The hunters all agreed, but it is hard to say whether they listened carefully.
As before, the Silver Edge team took the lead in passing through the narrow entrance and entering the underground cave.
The dim interior environment of the cave made Anxier and others feel that something was wrong.
After landing and entering the alert state, Feng Ying couldn't help but whispered, "I say, are we in the wrong place? This place doesn't look like the previous golden cave?"
Gordon couldn't help but look at Alva with suspicion.
Where is the promised golden hall?
Alva held up the lantern in his hand, observed the surroundings for a moment, and said with certainty: "No, this is the cave we are looking for.
Don't use the gold as a reference for identification, gold can be melted and carried away.
Judge from the general terrain of the cave."
Feng Ying blinked, "Sokka!"
Ignoring the local dialect that suddenly popped out of her mouth, Gordon and Anxier stood guard until everyone entered the cave safely.
There are many hunters who have similar doubts as Gordon and Feng Ying. Everyone is ready to be dazzled by the golden light, but the result is just like this?
"Actually, it's not surprising if you think about it."
Alva took off his glasses that were in the way and put on the multifunctional eyepiece on his head. "From the behavior of Xuanhuilong moving gold to another golden city, it is likely that they were moving.
Then they met us, the 'biting pests' in the 'old house'. It is reasonable to speed up and move the house quickly, isn't it?"
Ignoring the image but not very pleasant metaphor, Anxier said: "So, what we have to do now is to rush to another larger golden city 30 kilometers away?"
"That's right, but can you give us some time first?" Al Wa raised his hand, "I want to briefly explore this cave that was the Golden Country not long ago.
The main purpose is to confirm whether the creatures unique to the Golden Country have also disappeared along with the gold and the Brilliant Dragon.
If so, this will be a new ecological model.
Migrate together with the special environment created by the ancient dragon."
Gordon and Ansel exchanged glances, "Okay, I'll give you two hours. It should be enough for a quick investigation, and then we will head to the new Golden Country."
"Enough!"
Alva tightened the straps of his boots and directed the editors to run away.
Two hours passed quickly.
As Alva expected, those special species that depended on gold for survival disappeared with the Golden Country.
If it weren't for the very small amount of gold left in some tiny cracks in the rocks, there would be no evidence that the Golden Country had ever existed here.
Alva recorded all this in his notebook with satisfaction.
Even if there was no gain after this, he felt that the hard work of looking for the entrance to the earth veins during this period was worth it.
While everyone was eating, resting, and recovering their strength, Gordon made a decision.
"Except Alva, all compilers will return to the research base on the surface and wait for orders.
Four groups, a total of sixteen hunters, should not be separated, and act collectively. Alva will be responsible for team navigation, route recording, and map drawing.
As for food, if conditions permit, let Pork Chop lead the hunting cats to make cat food.
Usually, just carry food to deal with it."
Acting in this mode will greatly reduce the efficiency and comfort of investigation.
The benefit is that safety is greatly improved.
Half of the sixteen hunters are upper-level hunters, and the rest are all elite and can form a heavy crossbow team.
When they surrounded and killed the Dark Light Dragon, they had almost the same configuration.
Ansel was a little surprised at Gordon's resolution, and then expressed his absolute approval.
Next, they will enter the mysterious area where an entire ancient dragon tribe lives. The efficiency of investigation and the comfort of action can be put off for a while.
Concentrating combat power and ensuring safety are the first elements.
Of course, there will be young hunters and compilers who are skeptical and think that this is unnecessary.
But the plan was proposed by Gordon, the only "master" hunter in the New World, and Ansel, who is also the only eight-star hunter, expressed his full support.
There is no point in objecting. Anyone who jumps out again would be stupid.
So, the editors, including Apo and Liyang, had no choice but to return to the ground and wait for news.
And this streamlined team quickly took action.
On the way, Gordon not only sent the hunting cats and dogs out for reconnaissance, but also arranged two short breaks to ensure that the hunters' physical strength was in the best condition at all times.
When there were only less than five kilometers left to the "New Golden Country", he ordered the hunters to camp on the spot for the night and take turns to guard the night to ensure safety.
Tomorrow morning, enter the Golden Country again and officially start the exploration.
Anxier looked at Gordon with more and more strange eyes.
It's not that he thinks Gordon's decision is bad or wrong, but rather that Gordon's arrangement is too much in line with his wishes, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
When did this guy become so cautious?
Well, the reason is not difficult to guess, even Feng Ying can see it.
To borrow her words, "Master Gordon wants to go home safely!"
Gordon didn't deny it.
The next day, after a good rest and a nutritious and delicious breakfast of cat food, the hunters set out again.
With the route map provided by Evelyn and the guidance of the guide insect, they successfully found the entrance to the newly built and even more amazing gold town.
This gave the hunters, including Gordon, who saw such a huge amount of gold for the first time, some time to be surprised and discuss.
Ansel cleared his throat and pointed to the light paths that gathered and spread out like branches of a river, extending to different directions.
He asked Gordon: "Evelyn and the others also encountered such a choice. She randomly chose a direction for investigation, but unfortunately her luck was not good.
Now you are the commander of the team, which path do you choose?"
Gordon looked at him strangely, "Do you still need to ask? Of course, choose the one without the guide insect's guidance."
