Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1390 Faded Crystal

Hayata and Fengying set out overnight to hunt the golden lion, and Gordon and his friends no longer had the appetite to enjoy the dragon's loin.

Ask the chef to marinate the meat first and save the feast for when the ladies return.

Just as I was about to eat something to fill my stomach, Aiden came running over with a mysterious look on his face.

"Senior Gordon, Senior Ansher, we found some strange things in the coral land area!"

"Strange things?" Ansel asked back.

"Hmm! Strange things!"

Anshil was furious. "I mean to ask you, what do you mean by strange things?"

Aiden waved his hands and gestured, "I don't know how to describe it, it's just weird."

Before he could finish his words, Gordon slapped him on the back of his neck. "Stop talking nonsense, just take us to see it!"

"Oh oh."

Aiden touched his neck which was slapped red, and led Gordon and the other man into the cabin.

In addition to the hunters at the pen tip, Isana and the leader of the third group were also here. Everyone gathered around a piece of mineral about the size of a human head on the table, looking at it and discussing it repeatedly.

Gordon took a quick glance and confirmed that he had never seen this thing before.

He had no knowledge of ores and no interest in them, so he simply asked Isana, "Hey, this is your specialty, can you recognize what it is?"

"It's weird!"

Isana's freckled face wrinkled together, "I have never handled such a mineral, but some of its properties are almost exactly the same as those of a monster.

It feels like the product of the same material in a special environment, after a long time and erosion by the energy of the earth veins. "

"Monster material?"

"Well, remember those minerals that were left behind after the explosion of the Molten Dragon and fused with its scaly shell? It's very similar to that," Isana explained.

"Did you find out?" Gordon turned around and asked Aiden.

“Well, I have been using the heavy crossbow made from Molten Mountain Dragon materials. I also picked up the materials from the Molten Mountain Canyon. I have a deep impression of it.

So when I saw something similar in the coral land area, I picked it up.”

After hearing this, Zhuchop stood up, leaned on the edge of the table and stared at the thing for a while, "Meow, I have seen similar things in forests and deserts, meow.

But I didn’t think too much about it at the time, so I didn’t pick it up.”

Aiden tapped his palms, "Oh yeah! Pork Chop's armor is also made of Molten Mountain Dragon material!"

Gordon picked up the crystal ore and weighed it. "It's quite heavy. Could it have been blown here by the explosion?"

"Impossible." The leader of the third group shook his head slightly, "It's impossible to fly so far, and judging from the degree of weathering of this mineral, it definitely won't take one or two years to achieve this.

If it really came from the Molten Mountain Dragon, it only means that another Molten Mountain Dragon was buried nearby many years ago.

Considering that when a Molten Dragon dies, it will release the fire energy accumulated throughout its life, causing a violent explosion. Perhaps the formation of the Demon Gathering Land is related to it.

Of course, these are just speculations.”

At this point, the leader of the third group sighed with a hint of regret, "If I have the chance, I really want to delve deeper into this topic."

"So, can this thing be used as equipment material?" Gordon asked a more practical question for hunters than geological archaeology.

Isana took a small hammer and knocked it twice. "It should be OK. This thing seems to have the effect of enhancing the activity of explosives.

Under the erosion of the special earth energy in the Demon Gathering Land, its performance may be better than that of Molten Dragon material.

With the right auxiliary materials, it should be possible to create some very powerful equipment!"

Isana became more and more excited as she spoke.

"In that case, if we see something similar when we hunt next time, we can collect it." Gordon said with a smile, "Who knows, it may come in handy someday."

"can."

Julius nodded, “Besides, the influence of that special leyline energy is not limited to this.

Don’t you think that many things in the Demon Gathering Land have been contaminated by the energy of the earth veins, causing changes?
Even the bone materials collected from those decaying bone mounds are a level higher in strength than those from other places."

"I really didn't pay much attention to that." Gordon laughed dryly. "I've been busy hunting monsters these days. How can I have time to collect them?"

"It's not about gathering, but about understanding the environment. Don't just focus on hunting monsters, look around more."

Faced with his senior's stern tone of preaching, Gordon had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Yes, yes, we will pay attention next time!"

Hayata and Fengying rode on the acid pterosaur and landed at the east camp in the forest area.

They came here to find Gale and Amber.

It was too painful for the two hounds to climb over mountains and run to the coast every day, and then swim across the sea for several kilometers to the island camp.

So they usually rest in the camp here at night.

When landing, Hayata heard some noise and his face became strange.

Feng Ying's reaction was several beats slow. It was not until she landed on the ground that she realized what the noise was. The corners of her mouth twitched violently.

"Hey!"

The two hounds, whose good deeds were interrupted, came running over panting, without any feeling of embarrassment at all.

They are dogs after all.
Liefeng stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick someone as usual, but was kicked away by the angry Fengying.

"Go! Go! Dirty thing! Go away!"

"Well, there's nothing to be angry about. It's just human nature."

After comforting Feng Ying with a few words of laughter and tears, Hayata looked at the two hounds, "Have you eaten enough? We are going to track a monster overnight."

Gale and Amber nodded.

During this period of time, I followed the hunters and was able to have a full meal almost every time I hunted a monster. I became fat.

It took several minutes to secure the saddle, then Hayata Fengying turned over and jumped onto the backs of Liefeng and Amber.

Liefeng, carrying Hayata, looked very happy, with light steps and jumping from place to place.

Among the people in Yinbian, it likes to carry Hayata the most. Gordon is too heavy, and Ansel carrying a bunch of ammunition boxes is even heavier. Fengying must be riding Amber, because carrying Hayata is the easiest for her.

"The target area is not too far from here, let's go!"

At Hayata's command, the two hounds roared and rushed out of the camp, jumping and shuttling among the woods, moving forward at a rapid speed.

More than half an hour later, they followed the markings on the map and came to the place where the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Golden Lion had fought during the day.

It hadn't rained during this period, so they easily detected the breath of the two monsters. However, perhaps because of the long distance, the guide insects did not start to lead the way.

Fortunately, this is not a big deal. The hounds and hunting cats have a very keen sense of smell, so it is easy to track a monster that cannot fly.

"Be prepared to start tracking."

Hayata put away the knife used for sampling and climbed back onto Liefeng's back.

She lowered her voice and said, "Be quiet when you act. The target is seriously injured and will probably use sleep to speed up his recovery. We might be able to find an opportunity to kill him while he's asleep."

Feng Ying patted Amber's neck after hearing this, and seemed eager to try. "Let's look for any lucky cutie on the road to see if there's any lucky cutie who would let me open a red shield first?"
