There are a large number of hunters involved, as well as material transportation and construction.
The upper camp of Miasma Valley has grown from just a small tent to a large camp comparable in size to Lu Coral Terrace.
An elevator with greater safety was also built on the cliff wall not long ago.
An area suitable for powerful hunters to hunt and explore is thus formed.
However, we witnessed the special individual Tiger Dragon and the huge snake skeleton that was walking around for a long time.
The leader of the third phase, Ni Zhen, is very worried, because based on the current overall level of the hunter team, even just participating in the relevant investigation contract is extremely dangerous.
However, Li Fan's arrival just gave her hope.
"The moving bones of the Snake King and the Haunted Tiger Dragon flashing red will-o'-the-wisp are indeed unusual."
After listening to Ni Zhen's introduction, Li Fan looked solemn.
"It's okay for the Resentful Tiger Dragon. Right now, I'm mainly worried about the Skeleton Dragon living below, so I beg you, Li Fan, to at least bring back some traces. If we don't rule out this possibility, everyone will be worried every day."
Ni Zhen said sincerely.
"No problem. Are there any new ecological discoveries in the research base recently?"
"At present, these are some confirmations of previous assumptions. If we want to talk about new discoveries, it is that the thick miasma in the lower layer will seriously corrode the monsters. Even if the monsters change their characteristics and adapt, they will not be able to resist this harm."
Ni Zhen informed.
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Fan was a little surprised.
He originally thought that monsters would only live in environments that were beneficial to themselves.
Therefore, the monsters in the lower levels of Miasma Valley should all enjoy it.
But the conclusion given by Ni Zhen is that as long as the monster appears in the lower levels, the monster will suffer environmental damage from it.
"This research result comes from Aromatic Pteranodon and Diregnathus. They are both monsters that can barely survive in the strong miasma environment in the lower layer. However, compared with similar creatures living in other environments, their eyesight and healing ability will be seriously reduced, and their life span will be greatly shortened.
, the temperament will become violent, and there is even the possibility of falling into a state of madness."
Ni Zhen introduced.
"This is the complete opposite of there."
Li Fan suddenly thought of the land of dragon crystal.
"where?"
Ni Zhen asked curiously.
"Correspondingly, if the Miasma Valley is part of the ecosystem and is responsible for the decomposition of monster corpses, it should produce two things: life nutrients and toxic waste."
"You mean Lu Coral Terrace?"
Ni Zhen speculated.
"That's true if you look upwards. If you look downwards, it might be a brand new area. Is the state of the Mistyclaw the same?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
"The Dionysus is quite special. With the arrival of a large number of hunters, there have been many more sighting reports of the Dionysus on the Coral Platform. It has been confirmed that it often traveled between the two areas."
Ni Zhen informed.
"That is to say, it has been resisting poison and picking up corpses. If it really can't hold on any longer, it can come to Lu Coral Terrace to relieve itself."
Li Fan speculated.
"That's roughly the case, but because the body of the Mysticonyx has not yet been obtained, the research base cannot confirm it."
Ni Zhen informed.
Li Fan felt that the information obtained during this visit to the research base was valuable.
In the evening, take the elevator to the upper camp.
In order to make travel and climbing safer and more efficient, and to resist the odor of miasma.
A large number of green vines were planted in the surrounding area, but due to unsuitable soil and water conditions, most of these vines were yellow and withered.
The members of the investigation team were very excited when they saw Li Fan.
After a brief communication survey, Li Fan did not choose to stay overnight, but chose to travel at night.
"Grudge Horn, Twinkle, don't go to the lower level anymore."
Two hours later, Li Fan informed.
Ouch?
The resentful horn roared in confusion.
"It is true that there is a powerful monster staying below, but I still don't understand the reason. Also, even in the upper area, you must go to the Coral Platform regularly to alleviate the impact of the miasma."
Li Fan instructed.
From the perspective of enhancing strength alone, the environment of Miasma Valley is highly consistent with the Sparkling Anger.
But even a monster like the Mistyclaw, which was born for the Miasma Valley, cannot live at the bottom for a long time. The negative impact of the environment can be imagined.
Variations are not only positive, but also negative.
Heyaotian Comet Dragon, which lives by absorbing the attributes of other ancient dragons and falls into madness, is the best example.
After informing them of the dangers of the Miasma Valley and obtaining traces, this visit to the monster team was successfully concluded.
"Is this the trace of a special individual named Yuhulong?"
In the research base, Ni Zhen looked at the purple carapace fragments in the bone tube and said in disbelief.
"Yes, I was lucky. I collected it without walking too far away from the camp. The solution in this bone cylinder has a strong aroma and can attract a large number of insects. I thought it was unusual, so I collected it and brought it back. As for the skeleton dragon, I
I have asked members of the investigation team stationed in the camp, but no similar traces have emerged."
"That's great. I didn't expect that the hidden dangers could be eliminated so quickly."
Ni Zhen said unexpectedly.
"I am very interested in these two traces, especially the impact of the Miasma Valley environment."
It can not only assist in ecological research, but also provide free physical examinations for Angry Horn and Winky.
Li Fan is still very willing to help with this kind of thing.
"Just leave it to us. Once the research report is available, we will send it to the base as soon as possible."
Ni Zhen promised.
Without the threat of the Lava Dragon, the monsters are doing well.
Li Fan's life became relaxed.
After returning to the Star Stronghold, in addition to training every day, he would taste the new cuisine developed by Ai Bo, or help solve some difficult contracts.
Twenty days later at noon, a strong blond man carrying a cloth bag walked into the Star Stronghold.
Seeing the busy scene of hunters and compilers traveling in large numbers, the man smiled happily.
But when others saw the man's rudimentary equipment, they were a little confused about his identity.
With his strong body and thick arms, Xiong looks like a master of heavy weapons.
But the only thing in his body that could be called a weapon was a spear wrapped with a hemp rope around his right forearm.
In terms of armor, it is somewhat similar to the members of the investigation team who pursue lightweight, only light leather armor is worn on the body.
However, because members of the investigation team have to travel through various dangerous terrains, few of them are so burly.
"It's the grand leader!"
When Di Yan saw the man, he exclaimed.
"Haha, you are stronger now."
The head of the group smiled heartily.
"Wait a minute! The grand leader is back! The grand leader is back!"
As Di Yan shouted, many people gathered around him.
Li Fan, who was on the deck of the Flame, heard the sound and jumped down with Di Lu.
Surrounded by everyone, Commander-in-Chief Fry came quickly.
"I saw the Molten Dragon induction operation, and your performance completely exceeded expectations."
The grand leader praised.
"Since you've seen it, why don't you show up and help."
Fry complained with a smile.
"Because I believe you guys, hahaha, just kidding. I want to explore more of the other party's activities in the leyline corridor before the activity of the Nergigante dragon's traces fades, to see if I can find any useful clues."
The grand leader explained.
"Did you make any new discoveries in the Earth Corridor?"
Fry speculated.
"Yes, let's take a look at this first."
After finishing speaking, the grand leader took off the bag and threw it on the ground.
The iridescent silver crystals inside were scattered from the mouth of the bag.
Everyone picked up the broken pieces and held them in their hands to observe.
"You can feel the energy just by holding it."
Ai Bo looked at the crystal and said in surprise.
"Where was this found?"
Fry suddenly became serious.
"There is an area deep in the earth's veins, where similar crystals are everywhere. I have a hunch that recent events may be related to these crystals because of the unusual ecological environment."
"Unusual monsters will inevitably be born."
Frye spoke the next sentence very tacitly.
"That's right. Is anyone interested in exploring with me?"
The grand leader said, crossing his arms and scanning everyone.
"The investigation team can go."
Di Yan took the initiative to stand up.
"There are a large number of ancient dragons gathering in that area. It is too dangerous. Even if the investigation team comes to visit, there is no way to push deeper."
The grand leader informed.
"I recommend Li Fan and Eudora."
Frye gives his opinion.
The grand leader quickly identified the location of the two people as everyone's eyes focused on them.
The girl hanging upside down in mid-air and the boy with a crooked neck are highly recognizable.
"You are indeed a very energetic young man, but that area is really dangerous and will not be opened as a normal hunting area in the future. Are you really willing?"
The grand leader reminded.
"We are willing to go."
The two of them answered in unison.
"Okay, let's make some preparations and we'll set off in the evening."
The group leader nodded with satisfaction and immediately set the departure time.
"You have to leave now and rest for at least two days, right?"
Di Yan asked puzzledly.
"The answer to the puzzle is right in front of me, I can't wait"
Gu~gu~
The leader was talking excitedly, but his stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
"Everyone, I have to go to the Shanmao Pavilion. If you need anything, you can come to me there."
A whistle sounded, and the captain swung out his wrist spear and took off on the pterosaur.
The land route to the Dragon Crystal Land was finally found, and Li Fan felt somewhat sudden.
"Due to safety concerns, first of all, the Flame will definitely not be able to go."
In the living room of the cabin, Li Fan started planning before the trip.
If they were really attacked by an ancient dragon, both he and Eudora were confident that they could escape, but it was hard to say for the Flame Horn.
"That means we need to take a boat to the cave first, and then enter the Earth Corridor."
Aibo gives route planning.
"You really want to go?"
Li Fan said tentatively.
"Of course, I am Eudora's partner, and if I don't go, the food in the camp will not be guaranteed."
Aibo said firmly.
"It makes sense, but we may not be able to easily resolve the dangers we will encounter this time."
"I only conduct collection and investigation in safe areas, there will be no problems."
Ai Bo said with great confidence.
"Even after an in-depth search, no trace of the Steel Dragon was found. Could it be that the other party is in the area mentioned by the Grand Leader?"
Eudora speculated.
"It's very possible, but the situation there is very complicated. Even if a steel dragon is witnessed, there is a high probability that it will not be able to attack at will."
Li Fan informed.
Before departure, we had learned that Yanwang Dragon, Yanfei Dragon, and Steel Dragon were moving together.
Meiezi revealed that there was an ancient dragon preventing him from taking action, which also confirmed this information.
Looking at it this way, the situation in the Dragon Crystal Land was extremely complicated. Li Fan didn't want his team to attack rashly before he could figure out the general situation.
In the evening, a transport ship set off from the port of Star Stronghold.
In just two days, we arrived at the cave where we had previously carried out the guidance operation.
With the guide signs set up and the guidance of the group leader, the four people and one cat traveled through the earth corridor for two days and came to an extremely strange area.
The magma below flows rapidly like a river, and the surrounding rock walls have a large number of diamond-shaped rock pillars with regular protrusions.
Multiple adjacent rock pillars are highly similar even in thickness and length.
Li Fan took a closer look and found that except for the shape, these rock pillars were no different from ordinary rocks.
"It's amazing, haha. I studied these stones for a long time when I first visited them, but I didn't have any clue."
The grand leader informed.
The dyke rock formations appear in regular shapes to human vision, which is problematic no matter how you think about it.
"Could it be the traces left by some kind of monster?"
Ai Bo speculated while writing pictures on the rocks.
"It's very possible, but the scale is too big. I can't imagine how the other party could achieve it."
The grand leader looked up and sighed.
"What do you think of Nergigante?"
The grand leader asked.
"It's a very scary monster."
Li Fan responded.
"That's right, but the other party has been accompanying Gulongdu. This time, the Molten Dragon has not appeared again since it left the New World. I think it will help us solve the mystery of Gulongdu, so after visiting
The main direction of investigation will be on Nergigante. What happened to Li Fan?"
Seeing the sudden change in Li Fan's face, the group leader asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that I was stabbed when I was fighting the Nergigante before. Now that I think about it, it's quite dangerous."
Li Fan informed.
"Don't worry, if there is a fight, I can cover your evacuation."
The grand leader raised his fist and said confidently.
"Grand Commander, your armor is too thin. Is it really okay to participate in the battle?"
Eudora asked worriedly.
"Without the restraints of armor, muscles can exert their strength better and move faster. You can't teach this to young people."
Realizing that he had said something wrong, the group leader quickly covered his mouth.
At this time, an uphill road section appeared in front of us.
"Coming."
The chief of the group said as he quickened his pace.
Walking up the ramp, a few silver crystals are scattered on the surface.
Aibo and Dilu were about to collect them, but were stopped by the group leader.
The reason was not explained, but as we progressed, more and more silver crystals came into view.
Until the surrounding rock walls and the ground beneath their feet were all occupied by crystal silver, Aibo and Dilu suddenly understood.
In the area you are about to visit, silver crystals will be as common as rocks.
