Chapter 625: Red Stone and Red Butterfly

The appearance of the huge claw marks made Gordon and Anxier's nerves slightly tense.

If it was a hunting mission, it would be fine. As long as they were a little careful, the five-star dangerous monster would not threaten them, but the purpose this time was to protect the archaeologists to complete the investigation.

If there is no fighting, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The nervous Ms. Duda no longer took the time to popularize archaeological knowledge to Anxier and others, fearing that they would be distracted.

Of course, it may also be because Liefeng jumped up and down a little bit, and it took some effort to sit still.

The group ran among the mountains full of ruins for dozens of minutes. Duda, who was lying on Liefeng's back, suddenly raised his voice to remind: "We are almost there! Do you see the hillside in front? It is the ruins on the hillside!"

Gordon, who was leading the way, slowed down his pace and turned more attention to confirming the surrounding environment.

Anxier, who was at the end of the team, turned his head slightly, and under the mechanical mask, his eyes quickly scanned every place where monsters might hide.

They maintained a vigilant posture and came to the hillside.

In front of them was the ruins of a large building. From a modern perspective, it looked a bit like a chapel.

"It's here! The data records that the rubbing of the ancient document was taken from here!"

With the ruins waiting to be investigated in front, Duda immediately threw away the monsters and other things. She turned over and got off the dog, ready to run into the ruins.

Liefeng opened his mouth and grabbed the back of her scholar's coat, throwing her back on his back.

Anxier's order to it was to protect Duda, so she couldn't run around.

Duda was a little confused, and Anxier smiled and said, "You can ride it to investigate. You can point and say where you want it to take you. It can understand."

Duda was a little 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 had to be obeyed.

"Don't rush in, Pork Chop, let's go in and check."

"Okay."

Gordon left Ansil to "watch" the archaeologists, and he took Pork Chop into the ruins first.

This ruins is not small, covering an area of ​​about 3,000 to 4,000 square meters, and the indoor part that is not open to the sky is about 2,000 square meters.

Of course, it is incomparable to super-giant ruins such as Lingfeng Ruins or Shuhai Ancient Tower. After a few minutes, Gordon and Pork Chop came out.

"It's safe, there are no monsters, let's go in."

"Go, go." Duda urged Liefeng forward, she couldn't wait.

Gordon and Ansil followed Duda closely.

After the previous simple exploration, Gordon guessed that this ruins building might have been a religious place in the past, and there were many stone tablets and stone carvings inside.

As for what was written on it, he certainly couldn't understand it.

This is why the captain of the investigation team sent archaeologists to investigate with the team. If the hunters come by themselves, it is indeed safer, but they will undoubtedly miss a lot of information.

"Oh! The contents engraved on this stone tablet are the contents of the ancient document stored in the Longliyuan Document Library!"

"Damn it, there are so many inscriptions and so much information, why only a few copies were taken back?"

"Put me down! Stupid dog! Don't drag me! Squat down!"

Looking at Ms. Duda lying on the stone tablet, entering the research state, constantly pushing the big head of Liefeng.

Gordon shrugged, "Anxiel, keep an eye on her, I'll go outside to see, I found some interesting things before."

"What?!" Ms. Duda turned her head suddenly, "What interesting things? Stone carvings? Stone tablets? Could it be murals?!"

"Uh, no." Gordon waved his hand, "I saw some minerals I haven't seen in the rock mass. I'm a little concerned. I plan to collect some and take them back. Maybe they will be useful."

"Oh." Ms. Duda immediately lost interest and continued to study the inscriptions on the stone tablet. She took a booklet and recorded the words she couldn't decipher for a while.

Gordon took Pork Chop out of the hall where the stone tablet was located and came to the rock wall where he had found the strange ore before.

"I hope it will be good stuff." Gordon moved his waist and arms and took the pickaxe from his back.

".How did Gordon think of a cat with a pickaxe?" Pork Chop's whiskers trembled. He didn't even notice that there was a pickaxe hidden under Gordon's sword.

"I can't go there in vain. A survey mission is also a collection mission, hey!"

The pickaxe hit the cracks in the rock wall again and again. Soon, a fist-sized piece of bright red ore was knocked down by him along with many fine pieces of stone.

"Tsk, it doesn't feel good."

Gordon smacked his lips, "It's too brittle, it doesn't look like a high-grade metal ore."

Pork Chop was not surprised at all. If he could easily find a new type of ore with superior performance, his luck would be too outrageous. Gordon has never been such a person.

"Anyway, take it back first. Maybe the scholars of the Dragon Calendar Institute will be interested."

Gordon reached out to grab the ore. The moment his fingertips touched the red ore, his movements paused.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Not sure, it's a little numb." Gordon became interested and picked up the red ore and looked at it carefully.

Pork Chop also came over, four eyes close to the ore.

"Crack!"

A tiny, almost imperceptible crimson arc flashed between the Hertzite ore and Gordon's Tyrannosaurus wrist armor.

One person and one cat looked at each other.

"Did you see it too?"

"I saw a meow. It looked like a meow with dragon attribute 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 ancient times is very sensitive to dragon energy, and may react to this ore.

With this thought in mind, he pressed the black ore onto the blade of the Epitaph Sword.

"Buzz——"

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 induce dragon-type energy."

"I actually dug something out for you, meow. Let's dig out a few more pieces and go back, meow!"

Pig Chop stared at the black ore, but what he was thinking about was whether this thing might be used to replace the scarce dragon-slaying fruit and be used to create some special explosives or something.

"good!"

Gordon, who had regained his energy, swung his pickaxe and knocked down a few more pieces of harlot ore. He finally stopped until the conspicuous harbour-red color could no longer be seen in the exposed veins.

The strong dragon-type Epitaph Sword and the dragon-type Tyrannosaurus armor with 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 Ancil 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 dark fragments that fell to the ground.

Ps.

The game does not clearly explain the relationship between the Hexing Stone and the Celestial Comet Dragon. It only mentions that ancient civilizations considered the "Hexing Red Stone" to be a symbol of comets and were often used as decorations.

But this thing is unlikely to have fallen from the sky or from the Sky Comet Dragon. Otherwise, why would it be digging in the veins? It should be poking into the ground like a "scorching carapace"

It can only be considered a second hypothesis (but very common) that Hexing Stone contains or can stimulate dragon attribute energy. It should be reasonable. If it is just red in color, it will not be called a "special ore".
