After tracking for about half an hour, the ground vibration gradually increased.

The guideworms responded and fluoresced bright blue.

But judging from the strength, it doesn't seem to have sensed the body of the lava mountain dragon.

Following the guide for a while, a rock block with dark red veins on the surface appeared in front of the team.

From the traces, it can be confirmed that the one that is advancing in the lower layer of the Miasma Valley and causing the tremors is the Molten Mountain Dragon.

"Udora and I are in charge of protection, Dilu Aibo, you collect samples as soon as possible."

After Li Fan finished speaking, he and Yudora faced the same direction for vigilance.

Aibo and Dilu quickly ran to the rocks and started collecting.

"There are still high temperature residues on the surface of the traces. It feels like the lava mountain dragon is nearby. Can't you confirm it with your own eyes?"

Aibo asked.

"No, the cave we are in is only relatively close to the lava mountain dragon. If you feel the source of the vibration carefully, you will find that we are not even on the same plane as it."

Li Fan explained.

"I see."

Aibo understood immediately.

In a sufficiently open terrain, as long as you continue to follow the source of the earthquake, there is a great possibility of witnessing.

However, the rugged and narrow karst cave cannot be the place where the lava mountain dragon marches, which means that the two sides are in two different terrains.

Pursue to the connected place, there may be a possibility to find it.

But the traces have already proved the current range of the lava mountain dragon, and there is not much need to pursue witness confirmation.

After the collection was completed, the team began to evacuate immediately.

Puff puff ~ puff puff ~
There was a rushing sound.

The three people and one cat slowed down and looked around.

"there!"

Aibo stretched out his hand to guide.

In the dark withered grass, a figure resembling a lizard suddenly appeared.

With dark red skin and scab-like muscle lines, the monster's body feels extraordinarily strong.

But when the head pokes into the lighting range of the guide insect, the overall painting style suddenly changes to hideous.

The reason is that the face of this dragon has no muscles at all, and the horny epidermis with extremely deep lines fits tightly on the skull, and the shape of the nasal bone is clearly visible.

Cyan dot-shaped eyes, sunken in the eye sockets, the upper and lower jaws in the mouth, each with two curved fangs that flow mucus.

Between exhalation and inhalation, even though the mouth is close to closing, it still sticks out.

"It's a miserable clawed dragon."

Ai Bo immediately confirmed it.

"It doesn't look very big, but its fighting power should not be weak."

Eudora speculated.

"It seems to be injured meow?"

Di Lu, who was observing, said in surprise.

Because in the attempt to penetrate just now, a bone spur piercing into the back from diagonally behind appeared in the field of vision.

"Is it hurt by the environment?"

Eudora speculated.

"Impossible, unless you have fought with the Bone Hammer Dragon, but it's from this lower level... oh."

The Bone Hammer Dragon can't beat the Miserclawed Dragon, not to mention that the lower level has no runway for smooth acceleration, but the Miserclawed Dragon doesn't seem to be able to win without injury.

呲~呲~
The miserable claw dragon's nasal bone inhaled quickly, as if it was also investigating the team.

Aww.
After a low growl, Yudora and Di Lu looked at Li Fan at the same time.

"It's complaining about why there are always living things falling down recently."

Li Fan gave the translation.

"Huh? Can you really understand the message sent by the monster?"

Ai Bo blinked and looked at Li Fan in surprise.

Although I have experienced it to some extent before, I just didn't realize that those translations were not made up.

As for why the accuracy of the current translation is recognized, it is because Ai Bo has done a lot of in-depth research on the ecology of the Pale Clawed Dragon before going to the lower level of the Miasma Valley.

Half of the food of the Paleoclaw comes from hunting, and the other half comes from picking up corpses.

Due to the habit of bringing them back to the lair for hoarding, they would only choose fresh monster corpses to drag and take away.

Knowing this ecological habit, it is natural to be able to verify the authenticity of Li Fan's translation.

"Barely, the monsters in the New World are a bit different, and I'm actually getting used to it."

Li Fan said modestly.

"incredible"

Ai Bo marveled that she had never seen a hunter with similar abilities.

Li Fan and Udora came to the front of the queue, drew their weapons and confronted each other.

The front paws of the miserable clawed dragon stepped on the ground, with four toes on the bottom and six toes on the top. The double-layered claws slowly spread out.

"Eudora, if you get scratched, the wound will be difficult to treat, be careful."

Li Fan reminded.

"clear."

Eudora nodded.

Just when the battle was about to start, an old woman's cry came out from the side.

"Run away! You are no match!"

The visitor wore goggles and a breathing mask, and held a non-standard long-stringed crossbow in his hand.

The dress can be described as light to the extreme, and the bronze skin on the calves and arms is exposed without any cover.

Load a spherical ammunition on the guide rail, and the long stringed crossbow is aimed and fired immediately.

Boom!The spherical ammunition hit the nose bone of the Clawed Dragon, exploding a cloud of dark yellow smoke.

The miserable clawed dragon sniffed twice, and found that its sense of smell could no longer help it lock the target, so it could only shake its head frequently, trying to lock it with vision.

"We... obviously didn't move."

Eudora said incomprehensibly.

"The miserable clawed dragon has poor eyesight, maybe it's a double image."

Li Fan speculated.

Boom!The second round of spherical ammunition exploded.

"Don't be brave! Run away! I'll cover you."

The visitor shouted again.

"Master Yuan Ye, don't worry, we can do it, Di Lu, take out the strange smell ball code-named dark matter."

"Do you want to use that now, meow? It's too early."

Dilu said in shock.

"Master Yuan Ye has already been involved, I want to be more cautious."

Li Fan informed.

"Okay, meow, please stay away from me as much as possible."

Dilu finished speaking solemnly, took off the small backpack, and took out a black square box from the bottom layer.

Tighten the retractable rope that fixes the eel cat mask again, stare at the box for a moment, and the cat's claws gently break the box apart.

A black sphere the size of a fist was revealed along with the black air.

Li Fan took out a plain leather jacket and put it on his body.

The so-called plain leather clothing is actually an invisibility clothing without camouflage leaves.

"I can't, Li Fan! Although the eyesight of the Misclawed Dragon is very poor, there is no place to hide nearby, not to mention that you don't even have a load of blades."

Aibo reminded immediately.

"It's a true invisibility suit that doesn't need blades."

Li Fan sighed and gave an explanation while taking out an empty bottle from his pocket.

"Uh, what do you mean?"

Aibo didn't understand at all.

Boom~ The bottle cork was opened, and a few sparkling silver light spots flew out.

Li Fan turned the mouth of the bottle to the palm of his hand, shook it a few times, and then began to smear on the plain leather clothes.

"Disappeared"

Aibo's eyes widened.

She didn't know what the invisible thing Li Fan smeared was.

But the surface of the clothes after smearing immediately became transparent.

In this way, let alone the miserable clawed dragon in the dark environment, it is very difficult for her to lock Li Fan's position.

"The smelly bomb code-named dark matter is ready meow~"

Di Lu, who turned her head away, handed over the opened metal box.

"Thank you, Dilu."

Li Fan grabbed the black ball and ran towards the miserable claw dragon.

"This"

Seeing the silhouette of silver light spots falling continuously, rushing forward, Master Yuanye also fell into confusion.

Ow!Ow!
The Miserable Clawed Dragon had a vague feeling that something was approaching, but since it couldn't lock its position at all, it could only keep threatening it with a loud roar.

Farewell, Miserable Dragon.
Spotting the open mouth of the Miserable Claw Dragon, Li Fan jumped up and threw out the stinky ball code-named Dark Matter in his hand.

Ow!Aww~ woo woo woo!
puff~
Accompanied by a burst of black air, the miserable-clawed dragon whose cry turned sharply, lay on the ground with its back on its back, rolling back and forth continuously, showing great pain.

"Well, it's safe to evacuate!"

Although he hadn't quite figured out the situation yet, since he was safe, Master Yuan Ye lost the need to continue to cover.

The four people and one cat knew that this place was dangerous, so they ran all the way back to the camp without stopping.

"Great Auntie! I finally saw you."

Ai Bo hugged Master Fielder tightly.

"You are Apple, right?"

Master Yuan Ye unbuttoned his mask and asked tentatively.

"Yes."

"It's really like your grandfather, who are these three?"

"This is Li Fan, the leader of the fifth period, this is my hunter partner Yudora, and this is Dilu, the editor of Ailu cat."

Ai Bo immediately introduced.

"So young, it seems that there are many top newcomers in the original mainland."

Master Yuanye smiled and sighed.

"Master Yuanye, have you found any traces of Rongshanlong recently?"

Li Fan asked.

"It turned out that the earthquake was caused by the lava mountain dragon. I only noticed something strange, but didn't find any traces. I haven't been to the research base for a long time. It seems that I missed a lot of key information."

Master Yuan Ye sighed.

"By the way, Li Fan, did you collect the dust you used earlier on Yue Xunlong?"

Master Yuanye said uncertainly.

"Collected from a night bird."

Li Fan told the truth.

"Where's the black stink bomb?"

"From Peach Hair Beast King."

"It's a seasoned hunter who can collect such precious monster materials and know how to use them."

Master Yuan Ye praised.

"Auntie! I have something I really want to ask."

Aibo summoned up his courage and said.

"Say it, Apple."

"I want to hear your speculation about the purpose of Lava Mountain Dragon's visit."

"Well, what do you think the Valley of Miasma is like for monsters?"

Master Yuan Ye asked.

"It's the cemetery of monsters."

Li Fan replied.

"That's right, this is the cemetery, and it's also the answer to Rongshanlong's visit."

"The lava mountain dragon crossed the ocean, just wanting to be buried in the valley of miasma?"

Apple couldn't believe it.

"How's your physical strength?"

Master Yuanye suddenly changed the topic.

"Very strong."

Eudora said with great confidence.

"Me too."

Aibo continued.

"Okay?"

Li Fan probably knew what to do, so he gave an uncertain answer.

"Then let's go to the Lu Shan Terrace to have a look."

After Master Yuanye finished speaking, he immediately took action.

Thanks to their familiarity with the terrain, the four of them came to a vertical black rock wall without going too far from the camp.

"If you can't hold on, you can take a break, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, the other party grabbed the raised rock and quickly climbed up.

"What should we do, should we tell Master Yuan Ye that we can actually float up?"

Eudora looked up at the endless rock wall and asked.

"If the old man can climb, we will definitely be able to!"

Apple decided to try.

"Just treat it as climbing training."

As Li Fan said, he grasped the rock wall with his hands.

"It's okay, I haven't climbed for a long time. I almost forgot the excitement after climbing the mountain."

Eudora said, and followed.

Half an hour passed, and the team began to stop, panting violently on the rock wall with no end in sight.

"Huh~huh~ Dilu help me record it. When submitting the report, it must be emphasized that the lower level of the Miasma Valley is not open for the time being."

Breathing heavily, Li Fan informed.

As far as the current situation is proven, the environment is dangerous enough.

When you go down, you can use the sliding clothes, but when you go up, you can only rely on climbing. The physical strength is a little weak, and there is no return at all.

"Okay meow!"

Di Lu, who was riding on Li Fan's neck, immediately began to write records.

After climbing intermittently for nearly an hour, the blue sky finally appeared overhead.

The team was surprised to find that surrounded by corals, there was also a small camp here.

"It's much faster than I expected, it's not easy."

Master Yuanye, who was boiling water by the campfire, said in a little surprise.

"I also. Persevered."

Aibo said with a strong smile.

"Well, go ahead and go. It's very close."

Master Yuanye said and got up.

On a high platform with a wide view, Master Yuanye came to the edge and stopped, and stated the conclusions he had observed over the years.

"When they feel that their lives are coming to an end, the monsters here will consciously go to the valley of miasma, and the nutrients transformed from the corpses will continue to supply the land coral platform from bottom to top, nourishing the ecology here and making it continue to glow. To complete the cycle from death to rebirth, I have visited many areas, and I have never seen such a large and self-disciplined ecosystem."

"Auntie, this is not mentioned in your ecology report at all."

Ai Bo couldn't understand why such an important discovery was not included in the report.

"I was not sure before, but the visit of Rongshanlong made me firm in my mind, because the biggest shortcoming of this ecological cycle is that the energy will be lost to the outside over time. When the loss reaches a certain level, it will not be able to continue to operate. , At this time, a powerful energy source is needed to inject more energy into the circulation. However, there is still a long way to go to completely prove this idea. I really want to live for a few hundred years, so that I may be able to explore to the origin of life."

Master Yuanye said, suddenly feeling a little sad.

After all, human life is limited, but there are infinite possibilities for ecological exploration.

"I can't help in exploring the origin of life, but I can definitely assist in investigating the purpose of the visit of the lava mountain dragon."

Li Fan told him sincerely.

"Thank you, Li Fan, by the way, there is one more thing I am very concerned about."

"Please say."

"Have you noticed that the fault with a huge drop here is unusual."

Li Fan recalled the situation of this exploration, and responded: "Yes, under normal circumstances, there is no reason for such a large gap in the terrain."

"So you feel the same way."

Master Yuanye sighed softly and informed, "The abnormal terrain here is the key to the ecological cycle here."
