Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 709 691. Big Ant Mound Wasteland

[Gulong Crossing], as an ecological phenomenon that has lasted for an unknown number of years, became the direct reason why the investigation team was sent to the New World.

Although the object of [Gulong Crossing] this time was an unprecedentedly huge molten mountain dragon, most people in the investigation team still felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

This lava dragon is indeed huge and terrifying, like a moving volcano.

But logically speaking, every ancient dragon is actually a unique and powerful creature.

Lava Mountain Dragon is just a little bit special.

An ecological phenomenon that has existed stably for who knows how long will not undergo huge changes just because of the "little specialness" of one of the participants, right?

Most of the people in the investigation team thought this way, and according to the commander-in-chief, he only regarded this opportunity as an ecological investigation of the Laoshan Dragon.

It's just that because the subject of the investigation is the elderly Lava Mountain Dragon, which is also very special among the ancient dragon species, the priority is very high.

But Lan En, who had just arrived for the first time, always felt that something was wrong.

Maybe it's intuition, maybe it's...

Lan En subconsciously waved his hand in the smoke and dust raised by the wheels.

To others, this looks like scattering dust. But from Lan En's own perspective, he was subconsciously trying to catch something floating in front of him.

It was a light spot emitting a faint blue light.

It's not the blue of the sky, nor the blue of the sea, but a kind of blue like a bean light in the dark.

Since a few days ago, when he turns on [Spiritual Vision], or shortly after turning off [Spiritual Vision], it will drift by in front of his eyes.

Like floaters.

But Lan En is very clear about his body data, and Mentos also monitors Lan En's various physiological indicators in real time.

Therefore, both the demon hunter and the biological brain can be sure that their current vision, nervous system and mental state are all healthy.

This blue point of light is real.

Lane and Mentos came to an understanding.

This should be something that comes from the depths of the world and is accidentally glimpsed by [spiritual vision].

Although he felt something was wrong because of this, in the final analysis Lan En was just a newcomer to the outside world.

He didn't know whether this faint blue light spot was a normal part of the natural cycle of this world or the New World.

If you have no concept of what is normal or abnormal in a place, then naturally you will not be able to tell whether a phenomenon is good or bad.

Lan En is in this state now.

He also asked the hunters insinuatingly, and the hunters all bluntly said that they had never seen it.

Others asked whether Lan En saw some kind of firefly with a special light color.

This made Lan En understand that the hunters and scholars from the Old World were actually very different from him.

To this new world, they are all ignorant ‘outsiders’.

But no matter what, let's go see the activities of Laoshan Dragon first.

The commander-in-chief's car was the first one in the queue, and Lan climbed into the medical car carrying little Jack.

This kid's grandfather obviously had no intention of letting him recuperate in peace. After filling him with a few bottles of grass-green recovery medicine, he left muttering something like, 'It should be fine in a week.'

The extent of his injuries was similar to Lan En's expectation. Two ribs were broken and three were cracked.

However, considering the hunters' physical condition, with the help of the recovery medicine, a week should indeed be enough.

——

From the ancient tree forest where the star stronghold is located, proceed all the way to the large ant mound wasteland where the molten mountain dragon is active.

In terms of geographical area, it is basically equivalent to cross-province.

Moreover, they still used primitive animal power to pull carts and move forward with the supplies needed for combat, which was almost equivalent to migration.

Logically speaking, under these conditions, it is normal to walk on the road for more than half a year.

But this is not an ordinary world after all.

Herbivorous dragons have extremely strong endurance in pulling carts, and there are also tamed pterosaurs in the sky exploring the way. The carts and caravans made by the craftsmen of the second phase of the group made extensive use of monster materials. They are so tough that if they are not attacked and are simply worn out during use, it will be difficult to break them.

Not to mention the hunters who are no worse than big animals.

So the trip to the Big Ant Mound Wasteland took only one month to complete.

The hunters' carefully planned route did not invade the territory of any powerful monster, but brushed past their edges.

In the ordinary world, the activity range of Siberian tigers can reach one thousand square kilometers. In this world where nature is extremely prosperous, the territories of powerful monsters are even more vast.

It is normal for a fire dragon's hunting area to cover tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The experienced scholars and hunters in the investigation team have figured out the territorial changes of many monsters in the past few decades.

So except for a few monsters that occasionally went crazy, there wasn't even much intrusion along the way.

"This is the Great Ant Mound Wasteland." Lan En, wearing a scarf on his head to block the strong sunlight, stood on the cart and looked into the distance.

"At first glance, it does look like a wasteland."

This area is obviously different from the ancient tree forest.

The main color is earthy yellow.

Earthy yellow sand, weathered rocks, cacti, and things that look like bamboo shoots, but magnified tens of thousands of times, made of some kind of dark brown material.

It looks like a mixture of desert and Gobi.

According to scholars, this is the origin of the name of this land - the Big Ant Mound.

The army ants living on this land drag clods of soil, rocks, and even materials shed by monsters to their homes, and then add them to their nests.

Over time, I don’t know how long it took, these little things built these ‘skyscrapers’ that were as small as two floors.

But next to the convoy of the investigation team, a group of herbivorous dragons that were about the same size as herbivorous dragons, but with turtle shells growing on their backs and spiked hammer-like tails passed by, indicating that the ecology here was not as monotonous as it seemed at first glance.

If there is not enough water and grass, this land cannot support so many herbivorous ankylosaurs.

The Great Anthill Wasteland represents an alternative ecological model.

But Lan En, who had just arrived, had no time to appreciate the natural scenery.

"Hey!"

Cheerful shouts rang out from the heads of the convoy.

A pterosaur flew from afar, with a hunter hanging underneath, and flew directly into the group of pterosaurs at the head of the convoy.

Then swooped down again.

The flight of the Pteranodon is very smooth, which represents the superb skills of the operator.

Wen De let go the moment the Pterosaur passed through the low altitude and landed directly on the cart.

He now has another shield ax on his back, but looking at the texture of this shield ax, it is obvious that a lot of monster materials were used.

It is very different from the defense force shield ax which is made of all steel.

"It's finally here, you guys!"

The guy first patted Lan En's arm warmly, and then complained.

"If the Lava Mountain Dragon hadn't walked so slowly, I guess we would have lost even its shadow by now. There is no time to waste, we must take action immediately!"
