hunt and eat

The nose is like a powerful vacuum cleaner.

This strange thought flashed through his mind, Guta looked down at the snowdrift, and then he was taken aback.

What unfolded in front of his eyes were tons of huge ice cubes stacked in twos and threes under the snow surface.

Through the ice, the ancient pagoda can vaguely see the dense plant roots and fruits inside, and even the seeds of some large trees.

Although I don't know if there are similar ice blocks buried here, but the ones that can be seen now are roughly estimated to be more than 500 cubic meters.

"Ah, this..." Looking at the giant beast's heroic aura of "take whatever you want", Guta was speechless for a moment.

He forgot, for monsters, the most precious thing is food, isn't it?

Especially for super-sized vegetarian toothed beasts like giant beasts, in order to maintain body heat, it is estimated that the daily food intake must be tens of tons upwards, so food is even more precious to them.

"Hey~ Is this different from what you imagined?" Weiwei whispered as she bumped Guta's waist with her elbow.

His eyes were full of disappointment.

"Then what can I do? That's all they have."

Smiling resentfully, Guta shouted loudly in animal language, "Our reserves are sufficient, you should keep these foods."

Tilting its head, the mighty monster rarely showed a hint of naivety.

At this moment, the ancient pagoda vaguely saw the shadow of the little one from it, should it be said that it is indeed a mother and daughter?

It's a bit wretched to say, the gender of the little one, Guta has already confirmed it when he was treating it before, and it is indeed a female.

The existence of male behemoths, and how the behemoths reproduce, these mysteries seem to be unsolved for the time being.

Roar~ Roar!

Compared to the huge head, the small, funny eyes glanced at the ancient tower and their equipment. The giant beast hesitated for a while, and then smashed another ice surface with its trunk.

This time, what it took out were no longer the seeds like before, but the remains of a small half of the monster.

Or ice skeletons.

Through the glinting and reflective ice surface, it can be seen that it is an incomplete silver-white right claw, covered with neatly arranged blade-shaped armor spines.

Using the elephant trunk to roll up the ice block covering the unknown monster's right paw, the giant beast gently placed it in front of the hunters.

"Hey this is"

Just as Weiwei was about to speak out, Guta made a silent gesture.

Covering the ice with his palms, Mie Jin closed his eyes, and seriously felt the layers of life within.

As an awakened dragon, she naturally has the ability to sense the life strength of monsters, and even because her own dragon power involves life energy, she can also sense the materials and remains dropped by monsters.

"How?" Guta asked in a low voice, noticing that Mie Jin slowly opened his eyes.

"The ancient dragon level gives me the feeling that it is much stronger than the [Fierce Demon] I met at the beginning. I don't know if it is an ancient dragon."

Hearing Mie Jue's answer, Guta suddenly took a breath.

The ancient dragon-level material is still such a large piece, it's going to be a nuisance~

This trip to Snow Mountain was simply the wisest decision he had ever made in his life.

"Thanks, big man, we like this gift very much~"

Expressing his thanks to the giant beast in animal language, Guta bowed slightly.

roar~

Seeing that Guta and the others were satisfied, the giant beast nodded and blew loudly for a while, then rolled up the little one who was still playing with Jojo with its trunk.

Looks like it's time to part.

The little one seemed to have noticed this too, and kept yelling "Moo Moo~ Moo Moo", and a pair of small round eyes began to tear up.

roar~

After all, the little one couldn't hold back, and the giant beast put it back on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Xiaobudian ran up to Guta and the others on his short legs.

"Moo~" As if it was some kind of ritual, the little boy rolled up the snow with his elephant trunk, sprayed all of them towards the ancient pagoda for a while, and then put his head against Qiao Qiao's stomach.

Roar!

Behind him, the giant beast let out a low growl in a hurry.

Then he took the lead and started walking slowly towards the distance.

"Moo moo~ moo moo"

Seeing that her mother was about to leave, the little one couldn't continue to be self-willed, so she could only reluctantly say goodbye to Qiao Qiao, and turned to follow her mother.

Every time I run a certain distance, I have to look back at Qiao Qiao and the others again, and repeat this until I can no longer see each other at all.

"The next time we meet again, the little one will probably become a giant beast like her mother."

"I don't know if it will recognize us by then"

After saying a few words with emotion, Guta waved his hand, turned around to resist the heavy ancient dragon's giant claws, and shouted loudly towards his teammates who were still watching the mother and daughter of the giant beast leave:

"Let's go, go back"

Chapter 42 Decryption of Remnants, 【White God】Broken Dragon

"Olga, in our situation, it should be considered a successful decryption, right?"

Looking at the hesitant young scholar and reserve member of the ancient dragon regiment who was rubbing his chin in front of him, Guta rubbed his hands and asked.

"Although personally, I don't doubt the truth of the things you said, but right?"

"You should bring back more evidence anyway."

Olga was a little speechless, looking up and down at the carapace fragments that Guta handed over.

It can be roughly seen that this is a piece of armor dropped from some kind of monster cub.

These are the carapace fragments that were collected by the ancient pagoda before.

But just for these, it is really difficult to determine whether the decryption task can be regarded as completed.

Touching his head with a headache, Olga glanced at his colleagues beside him, and said softly: "I remember Master Qingcao of the Dragon Consciousness Department, what research is being done at the Gulong Observatory these two days, Awen, go and look for it, if you can." Ask him to come and have a look."

The latter nodded, put down the book in his hand, and hurried out.

"If it can be confirmed that the armor pieces come from giant beast cubs, then I should be able to decipher half of the mystery of the giant beast's reproduction, right?" Guta hugged his chest, crossing his legs proudly.

"Should be able to count, after all, you are the first hunter who has witnessed the existence of giant beast cubs so far, and the fact that the giant beast will put the cubs in the wave group is also very interesting for us. value."

"But it's still the same sentence, my level is not enough, I have to invite those masters from our Longli Academy to judge."

Olga spread her arms and successfully transferred the responsibility.

He also understands that for this kind of decryption, the collection of evidence itself is quite difficult.

This time, the Guta was lucky. The cubs encountered had their head carapaces broken due to the attack of the booming dragon. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there is really no other way except to tie the cubs back to the stronghold. To prove it.

While chatting, the remaining four members of the Canglanxing team walked over from the counter.

"Nia, the task should be considered overfulfilled!"

"Well, because we encountered two booming dragons, the mission gold was paid at double. In addition, the materials were sold for a lot of money after recycling."

Nia raised the heavy bag without hiding the joyful smile on her face.

"We don't have much demand for the material of the booming dragon, so we kept a small part and asked Weiwei to help Qiao Qiao make body armor these days."

As she spoke, Niya patted Weiwei's back helplessly.

The other party seemed to be angry with Nia, hugged his chest, and deliberately turned his head aside.

"Okay, okay, don't be sullen, we really don't need to forge more equipment for the time being, are you going to sell it for money or what are you doing when we hunt for rarer materials, there are plenty of opportunities for you to show your skills."

"Besides, didn't I leave the material of Snow Lord to you~"

"It's a big deal, I'll give you some experimental funding so that you can research new equipment?"

"It's a deal!" Wei Wei quickly responded as if she was afraid of Nia's repentance, turning her head to look at her.

"Hi~Hi, I won't go back on my word."

While chatting, I saw the scholar brother who had left before, followed by a short old dragon man, coming in through the door on the side.

"Master Qingcao, I trouble you to be a witness." Olga stood up directly, bowed to the old dragon man, and then slowly sat down with the help of the old man.

"Well, is this the one?"

The old man wore a single piece of presbyopic glasses, his small head seemed to be dotted, his thin white hair drooped, his eyes were pondering hard, and there was a piece of carapace the size of a palm in front of his eyes.

Perhaps it was too much effort to see, but after a while, the old man simply pressed the carapace against the lens of his left eye, and looked at the lines on the carapace in a somewhat funny posture.

"Master Qingcao is one of the heads of the Dragon Consciousness Department of the Dragon Calendar Academy, and his field of expertise is the identification of monster materials." Olga was on the side, explaining a few words to Guta and the others in a low voice.

Not long after, Master Qingcao slowly put down the armor, stroked his gray beard, with a look of emotion on his face.

"It turns out that the carapace of the giant beast looked like this before it developed."

Hearing this, the ancient pagoda on the side was overjoyed, and looked at the stooped old man cheerfully, "So, the thing we submitted can prove the witness report, right?"

"Well, our Longli Academy is also aware of the difficulty of obtaining evidence, so as long as your creditworthiness is not a major problem, you will generally not doubt it."

Master Qingcao shook his head, then looked at Guta and the others with a smile, "You youngsters are very lucky to meet the cubs of the giant beast."

"Well, isn't it~" Guta scratched his head, then Xiang Shi suddenly remembered something, and stared blankly at Master Qingcao.

"Huh? Is there a problem, kid?"

"Then what, master, you are an expert in monster materials, it happens that we have an unknown material here, can I trouble you to find out what it is?"

"It was given to us by the giant beast. It seems to be the monster material of the ancient dragon level."

Those words instantly aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

It's just that unlike the dumbfounded two young scholars, Master Qingcao, who had seen too many things, didn't look too surprised, but just looked at the ancient pagoda with interest.

I haven't seen such a strong and lucky young man for many years.

From the ancient tower, he vaguely saw the shadows of several old friends when they were young.

"Then you can take a look. I just happen to be fine now, and see if I can identify it for you."

Master Qingcao didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, there are too many unknown monsters and secrets in this world.

Even if he has been immersed in this aspect for hundreds of years, he dare not say that he can really understand everything.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Guta nodded, and then ran out the door quickly.

When they came back, because they felt it was inconvenient, they put the material that was almost two people tall in a temporary storage warehouse.

Fortunately, the warehouse is not very far away, and it is very convenient to get it now.

Not long after, Guta carried half of the monster's giant claw, and moved it into the side entrance of the public wine shop little by little under the curious eyes of the hunters around.

With each step, the ancient pagoda will leave a slightly deeper footprint on the ground, which is enough to show how heavy the thing is.

"A monster material I've never seen before." Master Qingcao jumped off the chair, bent over and slowly approached, with an increasingly focused expression on his face.

First, he tapped it lightly, and saw the jagged carapaces arranged neatly on the outside. Then he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and carefully observed the patterns on it. The old man soon fell into a groan.

After a while, as if thinking of something, the expression on Master Qingcao's face became more and more surprised.

"Master, do you recognize what this is?" Olga asked in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably"

"The stump of Ukamlubas."

"Ukamrubas?" Olga and her assistant Awen looked at each other, as if they had never heard of this name.

Guta and the others were even more confused.

"It's normal if you don't know. After all, this is what we called it in that era. If you call it by a modern name, it is probably "" Master Qingcao straightened up, looking at the monster's claw in front of him, his eyes were full of inexplicable nostalgia.
