Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Feng Ying felt a little regretful that she could not eat the spirit deer meat from the New World.

However, Aiden, who was sharp-eyed, discovered a series of small hoof prints. After saying hello to his companions, he left the formation and came back with a round mushroom pig on his back.

It was almost noon, and Pork Chop set up the barbecue grill.

In theory, it would be enough for eight people plus cats and dogs to eat one pig, but the hunters had a large appetite, and with Ai Bo being able to eat, a mushroom pig would hardly be enough to eat.

Gene, who was still unsatisfied with his pork chop skills, was about to catch another one, but was stopped by Gordon. After all, they were not here for a picnic.

He opened the map and showed it to everyone.

"Where are we now?" Gordon suddenly wanted to test the basic skills of young people.

The young hunters and compilers took out maps one after another, compared the terrain with the routes they had taken before, and quickly gave the specific coordinates.

Even the three editors with relatively little field experience are not ambiguous.

Gordon nodded and didn't praise them. As a recommendation team, it would be abnormal if they didn't even have this basic skill.

"This is the area we are responsible for investigating this time." Gordon drew a circle on the map.

Then he pointed to another place, "A few days ago, Ancil and I discovered a piece of volcanic rock that was still red hot here. There are no active volcanoes nearby. It can be basically concluded that it was dropped from the Lava Dragon. Fallen tissue.

We continued searching around the volcanic rock but failed to find any more clues. After reporting the information to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief decided to expand the search scope. "

Gordon briefly explained the ins and outs of the mission.

Feng Ying glanced at the map, "This area is not small. We have to spread out the search. Even so, it won't be possible to complete the investigation in half a day."

Gordon smiled and pointed to the insect guide cage on his waist, "If there weren't them, it would be like this. You should all have heard about the role of insect guides, and you'll be able to put them into practice soon."

Gordon opened his insect cage, pinched out a still-warm black stone flake, broke it into pieces and distributed it to everyone, "This is the sample from the volcanic rock.

Put this into the guide cage, and the guide insects will remember its smell, and they will start to 'navigate' whenever something with a similar smell appears nearby. "

Everyone followed suit, and Alva opened the insect cage very gently. Gordon felt that this guy must have carefully observed those shiny little creatures.

"Usually it's this kind of fluorescent yellow light. If they suddenly glow red and disperse, it means that the monster is close at hand. If it turns blue, it means that the scent of the ancient dragon species has been discovered. You should keep these in mind. live."

"Is there any special expression for the aura of the ancient dragon species? This magical nature!" Alva sighed sincerely.

"That's pretty much it. You can experience the more details yourself."

Gordon put together the map and said, "After entering the target area, two people will spread out and explore separately. If necessary, launch a flare. If you find a clue, it will be green, and if you need help, it will be red. Are there any questions?"

Alva actually wanted to say, did your teaching end too quickly?

But after thinking about it, I still didn’t say much. The members of the recommendation group are also the elite among the elite, and there is no need to support them.

Along the way, Gordon and the recommendation team introduced some of the environmental creatures seen on the road, such as poisonous pitcher plants, honey-replying insects, and the like.

Jean and the others were very surprised. Only Feng Ying remained calm.

There are all kinds of strange environmental creatures and hunting equipment creatures in the Land of Fire, which are even worse than those in the New World.

What about ghost firebirds, stone soldier hermit crabs, and colored beetles? Scholars can't explain how they evolved. They can only blame it on the "high-energy environment."

Arriving at the target area, Gordon once again emphasized the importance of vigilance and asked the team to spread out.

Nellie glanced at the black armored hunter in front of her in surprise.

Jean, who was always chirping, became taciturn after pulling down his visor. The black cat Nanaxi followed closely behind him. One person and one cat were like black ghosts, silently shuttling through the dark forest.

Their pace was not fast, but I actually felt like I couldn't keep up.

Nellie pursed her lips and tried to speed up her pace. If she couldn't even do this little thing, she would never be able to catch up with her sister.

Like Feng Ying, Aiden wears a defense team suit and has a signature sunny smile on his face.

His pace was leisurely, as if he were on an outing, which made his partner a little dissatisfied.

The competitive young editor couldn't help but urge, "You should walk faster. If this continues, the clues will be taken by other groups!"

"Don't worry, there are a lot of gas frogs here, be careful. Ah, you stepped on it."

After walking in the forest for a while, Feng Ying suddenly stopped.

She turned her wrist.

Xiang Chong, who fell into a deep sleep within two days after going to sea and whose breathing became weak, unexpectedly woke up at this time.

They fluttered their wings and twisted their abdomens, just like people stretching when they wake up from sleep.

"I was full of energy in the Land of Fire, but became lazy when I arrived in the Old Continent. I immediately fell asleep when I returned there, and only slowly woke up when I arrived in the New Continent. Is it really due to the energy environment?" Feng Ying said to herself.

"Just give it a try."

She raised her arm as she spoke, and flying insects flew out. Using the strength of the worm threads, Feng Ying nimbly leaped up the branches of the big tree nearby.

Immediately afterwards, she released the flying insects again, soared in the air, and arrived at another big tree in the blink of an eye.

Feng Ying clenched her fists excitedly, and Feng Ying could barely hold back her cheers.

The flying insect's sleep after going to sea is what worries her the most. If she loses the flying insect and iron insect silk skills, her strength will be greatly weakened.

Fortunately, the flying insects seem to adapt to, and even enjoy, the high-energy environment of the New World.

Maybe they can even produce offspring?

"Ehehehe?!" Ai Bo screamed under the tree.

She tried to launch the hook lock on the branch, her movements were a little awkward, but she successfully reached the branch where Feng Ying was.

"Are you going to do it in the trees like this?"

Feng Ying didn't seem to expect that Ai Bo could catch up. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course that's the best."

Gordon ran at a relatively even speed.

At this speed, he can allocate enough energy to pay attention to everything around him, and at the same time it is relatively labor-saving. He can run for an hour without being out of breath.

This is the best speed based on years of experience, at least for him.

A figure jumped out from his side like wind, without even making any footsteps, startling him.

"Ah——! It's the Jungle Archeopteryx! This creature unique to the New World symbolizes the intermediate state of bird evolution!"

The Archaeopteryx was caught by Alva before it could react. His movements were powerful but not rough, ensuring that the Archaeopteryx could not break free without harming it.

Gordon ran over helplessly, trying to remind him that this was a wild place, so be careful.

But at this moment, a magnificent blue-purple figure flashed across the scholar's field of vision.

"Is that the Archaeopteryx messenger mentioned in the works of the wilderness master?!" Alva let go of the Archaeopteryx in the jungle and ran away.

As if he had eyes under his feet, he kicked a paralysis gas frog hidden in the grass aside and pounced straight at that particularly rare ancient creature.

".You **run slower!"
