Chapter 220 Giant Rock Dragon

"Because it was too dark inside, I didn't dare to go too deep. But I was sure there was an underground river inside, and I also heard a sound like snoring. The sound was very loud in the underground cave. I didn't dare to stay any longer and came out immediately."

The student who was speaking recalled the scene earlier, his face pale and still somewhat shaken.

"Didn't you say you saw that monster?" Qin Ziwen asked in surprise.

The student was a little embarrassed. "I just said I heard the sound of a monster. I don't know who spread the rumor, but it turned into me seeing a giant monster with my own eyes. But it's not exactly a rumor. I heard the sound, so it didn't seem too far away. Maybe it was just too dark underground for me to see clearly."

Qin Ziwen thought this student was also a talented person. "What's your name?"

"My name is Wei Yu."

Qin Ziwen said, "Okay, let me check the news. If it's true, I'll owe you a favor."

Wei Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Okay, thank you, Brother Qin! I'll show you the way!"

As someone who lives in the community, he knows exactly how much of a favor Qin Ziwen owes.

Putting everything else aside, if he wanted to join the core hunting team of the Qin Alliance, he could surely do so with this favor.

Although many of my classmates privately say that those who joined the Qin Alliance are traitors, only I know whether they actually envy me.

Qin Ziwen, along with Zhao Pu, led a group of Qin Meng members who remained in the community. Carrying hoes, picks, shovels, and carts, the group marched in a grand procession to the Great Rift Valley to the south.

Wei Yu discovered that the rift was located on the west side of the Great Rift Valley, about four or five miles west of the altar.

If it weren't for Wei Yu, Qin Ziwen probably wouldn't have been able to find this place even after the map was finished.

The surrounding ground was covered with a thick layer of sand, and a section of the wall had been dug open, revealing a crevice entrance large enough for a person to crawl through.

Perhaps due to the moist and cold air underground, the sand and soil near the entrance were soaked.

"Can this be expanded?" Qin Ziwen pointed to the entrance.

A man who had worked in construction stepped forward to examine the site and then said, "Chairman, it's fine. As long as the cave isn't too big, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, thank you all for your help."

With everyone's combined efforts, the entrance was carved out, and the surrounding rock area grew larger and larger.

Suddenly, a deep, resonant sound came from the depths of the cave, like the bellowing of a cow, carrying a hint of warning.

"Moo~"

The voice was deep and resonant.

The man who was quarrying stones with a pickaxe paused, turned around in surprise and looked at Qin Ziwen.

"Don't move yet."

Qin Ziwen waved his hand, indicating that their commotion had alerted the beings hiding in the underground cave.

He considered three possibilities.

First, either the other party is startled and leaves, heading deeper into the underground cave.

Second, exit from the entrance.

Third, stay where you are; the sound you just heard was just a warning.

"Everyone stand back."

Qin Ziwen told everyone to retreat and move away.

The harpy eagle descended from the sky, ready to receive its master at any moment.

The being inside cried out once, then fell silent.

After waiting for more than half an hour and seeing that it had quieted down inside, Qin Ziwen said, "Keep digging."

Someone came over and continued to chisel open the entrance.

With each clanging and banging, the entrance area grew larger and larger.

At first, it could barely accommodate one person, but now it can accommodate three people.

"Moo-"

From the depths of the cave, a low murmur echoed once more.

This time, there was a hint of anger in his voice, accompanied by approaching footsteps. Through the "window," the dull footsteps could be heard growing ever closer.

Many people looked frightened.

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Qin Ziwen said, "Don't be afraid, everyone retreat in an orderly manner. The entrance to this cave is not big. If it can come out, it certainly won't be very big. If it can't come out, then there's even less to worry about."

Hearing his words, the group calmed down and gradually retreated along the route they had come from.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Qin Ziwen turned to Wei Yu and asked, "What's the terrain like inside?"

Wei Yu quickly said, "There's a large, gentle slope inside the entrance, and I can't see or know anything beyond that."

Finally, the footsteps inside stopped on the back of the stone wall.

Qin Ziwen and his opponent were now separated only by a mountain wall.

Suddenly, in Qin Ziwen's line of sight, the wall, like crumpled clay, gradually softened and rippled.

Qin Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then quickly growled, "Quick! Retreat! I'll hold them off!"

Not far away, Zhao Pu immediately reacted after hearing Qin Ziwen's voice, "Everyone, evacuate in an orderly manner, don't panic."

Fortunately, everyone had already retreated to a distance of forty or fifty meters.

Because they were some distance away and couldn't see what was happening, the team remained organized despite some tension.

On Qin Ziwen's side, he witnessed firsthand how the hard soil, like mud that had come into contact with water, gradually crumbled and "melted" layer by layer downwards.

Then a huge hole was revealed.

The cave was four meters high and five meters wide. Behind the dark cave entrance, a giant beast, yellowish-brown in color, with crystalline prisms growing on its back and its four limbs on the ground, which resembled an ankylosaurus, stood quietly inside the cave.

Giant Rock Dragon!
Qin Ziwen recognized its appearance at a glance.

This is the only level 3 mission objective on the Hunting Ladder leaderboard.

It stared at Qin Ziwen for two seconds, then slowly opened its mouth.

The mouth was filled with a dense array of sharp, angular teeth.

"Moo!!!"

"go!"

Qin Ziwen grabbed the eagle's claws.

A powerful gust of air rose up around them, and the man and the eagle instantly flew into the sky.

The giant rock dragon slowly emerged from behind the wall with heavy steps.

"Whoosh-"

At the top of the rift valley, a sharp arrow traveled dozens of meters and landed precisely on the giant rock dragon's eye.

It felt like hitting a hard rock.

A small section of the arrowhead had sunk into the eyeball.

The pain caused the giant rock dragon to instinctively close its eyes, its eyelids snapping the arrowhead off, and the broken arrow fell to the ground with a thud.

"Moo!"

The giant rock dragon's voice grew increasingly impatient.

It struggled to raise its neck, trying to see the direction from which the arrow was coming, but due to its similar physiological structure to that of an ankylosaur, it had great difficulty turning its neck—because it didn't have a neck at all.

The harpy eagle pulled Qin Ziwen down from the top of the rift valley.

He steadied himself beside Du Yu.

Looking out, at the bottom of the rift, the giant rock dragon had already revealed most of its body, but due to the narrowness of the rift bottom, it was difficult for it to turn around.

At this moment, it looks like a large truck making a U-turn on a narrow road.
