The Infinite Journey of the Taidao Party

"It is precisely because of this type of mission that the seniors of the investigation team are not at home... Is it finally my turn now..."

From the map, it would take more than ten days just to go to and from the destination... You need to be well prepared.

The food for two people—especially for myself and Garbo—wouldn’t be able to do it by packing it from the star stronghold alone, but this time, with Nyotaro acting together, the picnic part should be worth looking forward to.

"I'm really ashamed, meow, I'm studying martial arts meow, I don't really dabble too much in cooking meow, but I also learned the local cuisine of the Qimian tribe before meow, it would be great if it can taste like Master Ye Zhe."

The cuisine of the Qimian family... Speaking of which, what happened to those guys before?The giant Baltan who fought against Xuanhuilong in the pit might also be from the Qimian Clan, but there was no time to confirm at that time... If that is the case, doesn't it mean that the Qimian Clan has the potential to fight the ancient dragon?What an unfathomable race.

The Baltanized scratching bird was also beaten by the earth sand dragon. On the other hand, the Baltanized odd-faced tribe can fight the Xuanhuilong, so it goes without saying which one is stronger or weaker.

If you have Nyotaro, just bring more seasonings. There are plenty of water and food in the ancient tree forest.

Since you have to go out for such a long time, it would be too inefficient to accept only one task and set off. There are always endless investigation tasks in the Star Base, so accept as many as possible and complete them on the way.

[Collecting environmental plants], [Investigation of ancient tree forest ore], [Small monster crusade], [Investigation of bone mounds] These investigation tasks can basically be picked up by the way as long as you go out, but you cannot accept them before completing the investigation task at hand. New investigative missions.

These investigation tasks are mainly for the purpose of increasing research samples, so after bringing the material back to complete the task, many times it will not only increase the hunter's investigation points, but also return it to the hunter after confirming the characteristics of the sample. bad practice.

In addition to accepting these routine investigation tasks from the members of the summary task, the scholars who received the wind also entrusted other tasks.

The main mission goal this time is related to the exploration of the New World, so the strenuous mission of hunting down or capturing large monsters cannot be accepted by the way. However, the commander-in-chief asked Ye Zhe and the others to help the scholars this time.

Let's call the scholar who is dancing and introducing us "Enthusiastic pterodactyl researcher".

"...More Not the same, this kind of difference is not common among large monsters, right? So pterosaurology can be said to be a knowledge worth studying hard!"

Jiabao yawned unabashedly. After listening to the ten-minute lecture on "How I Classify Pterosaurs", Ye Zhe also felt a little bit unable to open his eyes, but it would be unavoidable if both of them showed no interest It's too rude. If you want to say something, there should be a small number of dragonman scholars who are willing to communicate with humans. From the perspective of maintaining the relationship between scholars and hunters, you have to listen to it.

But if I don't take advantage of this short concluding pause to interject, I might not have to leave today.

"I never imagined that pterosaurs turned out to be such amazing creatures—so what is our mission?"

"That's right. In fact, I have been studying the ecology of pterosaurs over the years, and found that their actions seem to be traceable. I also commissioned hunters to mark them before, and this is the result I got."

The pterosaur scholar took out a large roll of paper. From the outline, it was a map of a part of the ancient tree forest, but it was densely covered with lines of different colors. Because it was too dense and messy, people thought it was smeared out. scraps.

"You'll understand when you see this."

"Where did you get this colored pen? I want it too—don't hit me!"

As expected of Garbo, perfectly avoiding all reliable elements and raising completely irrelevant questions, and you don’t like writing, why do you need colored pens?

If he only looked at the picture, Ye Zhe would not be able to guess what he was going to do, but he could almost understand the situation in the camp, the content of the scholar's previous thoughts and this picture.

"You want hunters to use pterosaurs to move?"

Speaking of which, Ye Zhe already felt the vastness of the New World today just in the star stronghold. It is indeed too slow to explore the New World with two legs, and it is difficult for the herbivorous dragon car to play well in the complex terrain of the New World. Function, every time the herbivorous dragon car is used, an additional hunter escort must be arranged.

In the game, hunters basically rely on pterosaurs to act, use the rope on the catapult to hook pterosaurs, and let the opponent fly with them.

The scholar showed a shocked look.

"Are you a genius?"

...Didn't you let me guess, and your requirements for hunters are too low.

"By dyeing pterosaurs and witnessing records by hunters, I made this precious [Pterosaur flight schedule in the ancient forest forest], and I will give this copy to you. If you have a chance, try to use pterosaurs to move. If we want to lead the pterosaurs in the ancient tree forest to a height that can be reached with a catapult, we must rely on the scattered walnuts that are common in the ancient tree forest, which is something that the pterosaurs love to eat."

The bag of flying walnuts given by scholars is not only peeled walnut kernels, but also slightly roasted with charcoal fire, which has a completely different aroma from fresh walnuts, which is very attractive to pterosaurs.

Of course, the temptation to Garbo is also great, so let me keep this.

"...Ye Zhe, although you didn't speak, I noticed something strange."

"It's an illusion."

Pterodactyl test flight... It seems that the investigation team before the arrival of the fifth team has indeed done a lot of preparatory work, picking up ready-made ones in the game, so I have to go into battle by myself when it's my turn.

In short, buy a safety helmet first.

Chapter 364. Forest Insect Cage

After completing the preparations, Ye Zhe finally set off from the Star Camp.

The goal of this mission is to cross to the northwest side of the forest, in other words, is it finally going to that place?

It has grown in the center of the entire forest for an unknown number of years, and the origin of the name of this area - [ancient tree].

The ancient tree is a [whole] formed by the entanglement of a large number of different trees under certain circumstances. Under the stimulation of the earth's veins, it has grown wildly for an unknown number of years, making this plant called the "ancient tree" extremely powerful. Due to the height and breadth of the mountain, the tree itself has even formed an independent ecosystem, in which there is a circulating water system and a complete food chain.

The location where Ye Zhe and Jiabao encountered the shadow spider after getting lost here was only less than a day away from the star base. It would take about two days to reach the foot of the ancient tree from the star base.

In fact, when the first group arrived here, it took more than three days to reach the root system of the ancient tree from the Star Camp. There is no doubt that after more than 20 years of growth, the ancient books are constantly expanding outward.

Theoretically speaking, it takes tens of thousands of years to form an ecological environment like an ancient tree forest, but according to the records of the investigation team, the ancient trees growing at this speed should have covered the entire New World long ago, and it is also That is to say, the growth rate of ancient trees is not average, but affected by certain factors.

This has also become evidence of the increasingly frequent activities of the leylines. There are some invisible changes taking place on this continent, but scholars have not yet obtained a definite answer——currently, the commander-in-chief, who is a non-academic person, is more inclined to believe that the Huilong's underground activities affected the growth rate of ancient trees.

"Ye Zhe, do you think the earthquake will collapse the ancient tree?"

"Probably not, it always feels like this tree grows on the New World."

Garbo lowered his head and thought for a while.

"...It feels... like nonsense."

"It sounds like nonsense at first, but what I mean is-for example, if you grab a grass, you will pull it down, but if you have a big enough hand to hold an ancient tree, maybe you can Lift up this new continent... Its root system hidden in the ground has long since extended out, and it may be because it grows too deep that it is particularly affected by the leylines and grows bigger, "
