Chapter 250 Monster in the Lake
"Your Majesty, we found a black lake in the valley, which is very large." The exploration team members who returned to the camp hurriedly reported to Purficott, and then submitted the simple map they drew to her.

Purficott looked at this somewhat sloppy simple map and couldn't help but frown, but then asked: "If we want to get close to that lake, is there any way?"

Faced with this problem, the exploration team thought about it and then said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. The entire valley is sunken. The location of the lake is the lowest point of the geological depression. If the valley is silted with poisonous gas, it will definitely gather here. Lakes in and around the lake.

Unless the poisonous gas in the valley can be drained, it is very unrealistic to approach the lake. "

Hearing this, Purficott didn't feel any surprise. After all, the strong smell of rotten eggs in the valley already indicated that there was a very high concentration of hydrogen sulfide deposits. It could be said that Death Valley deserved its reputation.

But this is not an unsolvable problem for Purficott.

Putting this question aside for the time being, Purficott looked at the exploration team member again and asked him: "Besides, are there any other discoveries?"

Thinking about it in Purficott, there should be only these discoveries worthy of attention in this valley, and asking more is just in passing.

However, the exploration team member nodded seriously, and then replied with a stern expression: "We also found a monster in the black lake. I can't describe its appearance accurately, but it looks like a rotting corpse. "If we hadn't seen it moving, we would have thought it was just a corpse."

"Monster? In a place like this?" Purficott felt a little surprised to be able to survive in a suspected oil lake filled with hydrogen sulfide gas. If this thing were placed in the original world, it would probably drive a lot of biologists crazy.

So she just asked curiously: "Then what does it look like? Have you recorded it?"

"More than twenty meters long? It's unbelievable that creatures on land can grow so big!" Purficott's curiosity was aroused at this time, and he looked carefully at the "giant dragon?" that looked like a carrion in the picture. "I asked again: "Are these its skin and flesh? Isn't this thing really the creation of an evil wizard?"

"It shouldn't be its skin and flesh. We noticed that the carrion once fell from its body. It looks like it wrapped the corpses of other creatures around itself." The exploration team member answered to Purficott, and also Explained: "I don't know if it is the creation of an evil wizard, but it does seem to be some kind of living creature, not a moving corpse. At least I saw its obvious behavior of preying on prey. ”

However, Purficott was not too surprised. After all, there is magic and alchemy in this world, and it may not be impossible to have some outrageous creatures.

"Yes, it seems to be about twenty meters long, because we can't measure the specific data in the air, but it is roughly estimated to be this length." The exploration team member took out another picture from his body, which was written in a more detailed way than the map. Clear and detailed strokes depict a creature in the shape of a "dragon?" that appears to have rotted away.

No wonder Purficott had such doubts. After all, the thing drawn in the picture in front of him really looked like a bone dragon covered with a layer of carrion.

"Hunting? Are there other living creatures besides it in the valley?" Purficott looked at the exploration team. If this is the case, it means that the situation in the valley may be better than expected.

However, the exploration team member shook his head and took the map and pointed it out to Purficott: "There is a cliff on the other side of the valley. This monster seems to have certain flying capabilities. It can jump up the cliff and attack the animals above the cliff." to hunt.”

"Cliff? Interesting." Purficott couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the news, so he asked the exploration team: "Can we reach the cliff from the camp?" The exploration team made a gesture on the map and confirmed the point. He nodded: "Okay, it just takes a long way around. It will take about half a day. The terrain along the way is fairly gentle, so there is nothing difficult to walk."

The distance could be said to be far or close, but Purficott had already put his mind on it.

However, she asked again just to be on the safe side: "Is there poisonous gas above the cliff?"

"No, although we did not land at the time, we also lowered the altitude. We can confirm that we did not smell the smell of rotten eggs on the cliff. We were following the wind at that time. If the poisonous gas floated up, it would be blown up the cliff." The exploration team member asked Purficott said affirmatively.

"Very good! Prepare a small team and set off early tomorrow morning. I'm going to go to the cliff to see what's going on in this valley and this monster." Purficott made up his mind and prepared to go to the cliff in person tomorrow to survey the entire valley. check it out.

Samantha did not object to Purficott's decision.

From the conversation between Purficott and the exploration team just now, she was able to determine the place where the large force on the cliff could reach, and if the large force could reach it, they could bring the Steam Knight Armor there.

With the Steam Knight Armor around, Samantha didn't worry about the threat of a mere monster at all.

In Samantha's opinion, this monster just looks a little weird and is a little bigger. Even if it is really a giant dragon, it can still achieve the great feat of slaying the dragon with the force of the Steam Knight.

So she was confident that she could protect Perfectkot even if she was attacked by a monster.

Of course, Samantha will not take the initiative to provoke the monster if it is not necessary. She will stay with Purfict tomorrow. If the monster has the tendency to fly up the cliff, she will take Purpose with her as soon as possible. Ficott evacuated to ensure she was not in danger.

Samantha was very serious about this, and she brought it up in front of Purficott, making her promise not to do anything risky.

Purficott didn't feel dissatisfied with Samantha's attitude. After all, Samantha was doing her duty to protect herself.

And for Purficott, she really has no interest in seeing a dragon up close, except for dead ones or specimens.

What's more, instead of observing the monster, what she wants to know more is whether the oil lake can be effectively utilized and mined from the cliff. After all, it is really difficult to enter the valley from their current location.
