This layer of space is much larger than the map in the game which is limited by its function and capacity.
After all, it was the golden land that Xuanhuilong had developed over dozens or even hundreds of years.
And this should be just the first layer. Xuanhuilong will dig down to obtain more metals and minerals, and finally build a gorgeous palace shining with golden light in the deepest part of the Golden City.
As the road ahead became wider, a huge square appeared in front of us, and there was a big pit not far away.
When Su Yi and his party got closer, they saw countless golden crabs running away from the pit.
"Catch them quickly!" Su Yi shouted, quickly loaded the capture net and started catching crabs.
"Karra!" The bear disciple was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he knocked down several of them with a set of punches and kicks.
Jigglypuff waved its short little arms, but after it bent down, it was obviously not very flexible, and the crabs ran away from it with a clatter.
"There's a big guy, meow!" Lucao said in surprise.
"Catch the bun crab from behind...!" Su Yi turned his head and saw a bigger crab with a more dazzling golden color clamped on Luca's sword and was lifted up by him.
"Caught meow!" Lucao laughed while holding the sword.
Su Yi laughed and said, "Okay."
Su Yi quickly knocked the caught crab unconscious and then looked at it carefully.
These crabs are called mantou crabs, and are also translated as copper mantou crabs.
They are a kind of environmental creatures living in the Golden Country. They are very large, about twenty centimeters long, about the size of a rugby ball.
The larger crab that Lu Cao caught was an individual that had grown from a steamed bun crab over the years and was called a golden steamed bun crab.
The golden color on the copper crab is darker and more mottled, while the golden crab exudes a dazzling golden glow all over its body.
"They seem to have dropped something, meow." Lucao picked up the shiny thing on the ground and found that it was some gold flakes.
"This is the food they are carrying." Su Yi picked it up and took a look, then said.
Looking further into the pit, sure enough, there was a lot of golden metal attached to the rocks in the pit, but most of it was covered with sand.
It seems that these should be the holes left when Xuanhuilong smelted metal attached to his body.
These steamed bun crabs and another creature that also lives in the Golden Land - the gold-foil horseshoe crab, all feed on organic matter mixed with metals dropped by the brilliant dragon. Over time, a golden color appears on their bodies.
The golden color of the golden-scaled bat is a body color that evolved for camouflage.
These creatures have evolved due to the influence of Kulve Dragon and have become part of the unique ecology of the Golden Country.
Not far from the square, there is a huge hole sealed by melted rock and metal.
Along the way, Su Yi discovered two such holes. There must be more than these holes on their floor.
These holes were created by Xuanhuilong's movement. I don't know what kind of space will be at the other end of the hole. From this point of view, the golden town built by Xuanhuilong is astonishingly large.
"After walking for so long, we haven't seen any trace of the Xuanhui Dragon, no footprints, no scattered gold flakes, nothing. And there is no trace of the Golden Strange-faced Clan either." Su Yi said.
This shows that Xuanhuilong has not been to this space for at least a long time.
But we cannot conclude that Xuanhuilong has abandoned this golden city. It is possible that it is sleeping deeper in the golden city, or it may be active in another space in the golden city.
But it's undoubtedly a great place to set up camp.
"Let's set up camp, eat and take a rest." Su Yi smiled and shook the sack of steamed crabs.
No matter how rare or beautiful you are, you'll be a delicacy in my hands.
To the east of the Golden Country, Su Yi found an underground river flowing through, and he simply set up a camp there.
Su Yi released the burning insect and asked it and the dew grass to help set up the pot and boil water.
Su Yi took out the internal organs of the steamed crab, then brushed it clean with a brush at the riverside, and finally put it into the pot.
However, there were so many crabs and they were so big that they could not be steamed in one pot. Su Yi took out another steamer and steamed all the crabs.
"Start steaming!" Su Yi rubbed his hands, expressing his anticipation for this crazy Golden Country meal.
While it was steaming over there, Su Yi took out the grill and took out the meat of the ankylosaur. He cut part of it into small pieces to make dice meat and put the rest on the grill to roast.
The melted fat seeps into the cut made by the knife, and then the sauce is brushed on it, and the aroma rises instantly.
After a while, the crabs were steamed. Su Yi took out a few small plates, put several sauces on them, then took out the golden crabs, pried open the crab shells, revealing the pink crab meat.
Su Yi picked up the crab leg, dipped the crab meat in some sauce, and put it in his mouth.
The soft crab meat absorbs the sauce and penetrates into the meat. When you take a bite, the salty fragrance of the sauce and the sweetness of the soft and tender crab meat combine into one, and the satisfaction brought by the large pieces of crab meat hits your taste buds.
"Great!" Su Yi said with satisfaction.
“Gurgle!”
"Meow!"
"lucky!"
"Jiwu!"
The little ones tried one after another, and the various combinations of crab meat and different sauces conquered them. In an instant, all the tiredness was dispelled and they fell into the gentle land of delicious food.
"I heard that horseshoe crab porridge is very delicious. I wonder if gold foil horseshoe crab can be used to make it. As for the wild serpent, forget it." Su Yi thought while eating.
The steamed crabs were big and had plenty of meat. After finishing the barbecue, they were basically full. Su Yi took out a beer and drank it leisurely, and also gave some juice to Dew Grass and the Pokémon.
Afterwards, Su Yi released the accompanying beasts and began to prepare food for everyone.
"Are you all right?" Su Yi checked the situation of Xunmao, Misclawed Dragon and Manjawed Dragon by the way.
The three of them suffered some injuries in the battle with the black-horned dragon, but fortunately their injuries were not serious. Su Yi sprayed some medicine on them and they were fine.
After dealing with all this, Su Yi sat on the stool and checked the Hunting Guide.
At this moment, the icons of Scratching Bird and Steelix appeared on the Star Base, and it was obvious that the wounded were safe.
"That means the mission is accomplished." Su Yi turned to the mission column and collected the reward.
The next moment, a crystal stone shining with colorful halo appeared in Su Yi's hand.
"Dragon Vein Stone"
Someone asked me where I got those materials. In fact, it is the setting collection of Monster Hunter World "Tracing Monster Hunter World" and "New World Sketch Travel"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 189 Dragon Vein Stone, Special Individual
In the game, there are three types of materials: Dragon Vein Stone Fragments, Dragon Vein Stone, and Large Dragon Vein Stone, which can be obtained by hunting battle-hardened monsters of different strengths.
The function of Dragon Vein Stone is basically to alchemize beads that can be inlaid in equipment to provide various attributes and skills, as well as to further strengthen weapons and equipment.
In short, Dragon Vein Stone is a relatively important material in the later stages of the game.
"Woo?" Dakong, who had eaten his fill and was chasing bats in the Golden City, flew down and looked curiously at the Dragon Vein Stone in Su Yi's hand.
"Hmm?" Su Yi touched Dakong's head and asked, "Why? Do you want it?"
Su Yi handed it over. Dakong took a bite, but when he found he couldn't bite it anymore, he spit it back to Su Yi.
"I thought you were going to become a battle-hardened fire dragon." Su Yi joked.
Dragon Vein Stone is a crystal formed by battle-hardened individuals obtaining the energy of ancient dragons and condensing it.
So theoretically, as long as a monster absorbs enough dragon vein stone energy and allows this energy to strengthen its body through training and fighting, it can become a battle-hardened individual.
But you can't just eat this thing directly, right?
"So this thing can only be used to strengthen weapons or refine beads?"
Su Yi took back the Dragon Vein Stone and then checked the [Tasks]. In addition to a task to hunt a female fire dragon, there was also a slightly special task:
[Mission: Hunting the Battle-hardened Black Horned Dragon (Special Instance)
Mission support: None
Mission rewards: 15 upper balls, 1 life dragon vein fragment.
Time limit: 5 days. 】
The battle-hardened black-horned dragon is marked as a special individual, and the reward includes an item that has never appeared in the game, the Life Dragon Vein Fragment.
However, when the steel dragon was encountered, the "Hunting Guide" published a task to repel the steel dragon, and the task reward also included something called Life Dragon Vein Fragment.
But that is part of the mission reward, so I can’t view the details of it.
“It always feels like it won’t be something simple.”
Although Su Yi was very curious, there was no point in thinking about it before he got it.
Next, after seeing that there was no sign of entering the ancient dragon's territory, Su Yi knew that the Nergigante had left.
Su Yi packed up his things and prepared to return to the Xingchen base.
He wanted to report his safety to the commander-in-chief and to pick up the Screeching Bird and the Steel Crow so that they wouldn't run back to the Great Anthill Wasteland to look for him.
……
Su Yi was teleported back to the shed of the base, and then came to the circulation area of the base.
Sure enough, Steelix and Scratching Bird were standing in front of the stronghold gate, planning to head to the Great Anthill Wasteland, and they were accompanied by Sunshine Brother Aiden.
"You're back? I heard that you encountered some tough monsters and even an ancient dragon. Your friends and I are planning to go and support you."
Looking at Su Yi who suddenly appeared, Aiden's tone was surprised, but also relieved.
"It was thrilling and I was lucky to escape." Su Yi joked.
Then, Su Yi and Aiden went to the headquarters while chatting.
"Commander-in-Chief! Su Yi is back!" the receptionist shouted happily.
The commander-in-chief turned around immediately, and when he saw Su Yi was unharmed, the worried and serious expression on his face suddenly relaxed.
"I'm glad to see you return safely. You've worked so hard this time. Thank you very much." The commander-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude.
The investigation team is already providing treatment, which involves more professional rescue techniques, such as suturing, bone setting and so on.
This is not something that can be solved by taking medicine or curing fluctuations.
According to the receptionist, the commander-in-chief's grandson was fine, but the two hunters were in critical condition, but fortunately they were saved.
