Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

It’s rare for someone to joke about their partner’s ex, and it’s usually when they’re in a weird mood.

However, Gale belongs to the "few" category of people.

Looking at Ancil's dark face and Herta's helpless expression, Gale giggled. She would occasionally use this matter to tease Ancil for fun.

Gale's intention in making this clear was obvious - she didn't care if Ancil shared the intelligence they collected.

After glaring at his wife, Anhil asked Ai Bo to get a map and showed Heta the coordinates of several locations that Gaba had found with them before, as well as the predicted route map.

Herta recorded the coordinates and route map, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Looking at it this way, the Xuanhuilong most likely walked out from somewhere near the Grand Canyon, and then went all the way south. After arriving near here, it turned again East, or Northeast.

It should be preparing to return to a mountainous area dominated by karst landforms. "

"I think so too." Ancier nodded, "If we make a bold guess from this direction, will its destination be the Grand Canyon again?

The reason for the formation of the Grand Canyon is still unknown. Even the impact-like changes of the large floor crust should not have formed such abrupt mountains and valleys.

The ground is so messy, and the underground is also full of large and small underground spaces such as caves. There may be passages leading to the depths of the earth's veins. "

"It's a valuable guess. We can investigate in this direction."

"Ai Bo, mark the next investigation route on the map."

The brains of both teams reached a consensus.

Ted said to the people around him in an unprecedentedly low voice: "Do you think Ancil and Miss Herta are actually more comfortable talking to each other?"

Maka quickly covered his mouth, "You pig, do you know what you are talking about?"

Oshula shook his head repeatedly and muttered like a mosquito, "No, no, no, it's just a superficial conversation, it just happened that they had the same judgment.

What if the two of you disagree? It feels like there will be an argument, a cold war, each looking for arguments to try to defeat the other, continuing to argue, a cold war. This cycle continues endlessly. "

"horrible."

After picking up all the gold pieces scattered on the ground, Feng Ying happily calculated how much she could get. She walked over and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing! I'm saying that all this gold belongs to you. After all, it was Ancil who found it!" Maka spoke before Ted Hu Lie.

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing!" Feng Ying laughed so hard that her eyes were bent, and she carefully stuffed the gold into the bag beside Amber.

Although the amount of this batch of gold is not too much, it far exceeds the little gold sand she found before.

Anxil, who noticed Feng Ying's behavior, came over and gave her a beating. Before the guide insect could extract the information, you put away the clue items.

Do you really think we are here to find gold? !

The gold flakes found here are much more complete than the scattered gold sand and gold grains before. The scattering time is also shorter, and the guide worm has extracted a more complete atmosphere.

The fluorescent blue light in the insect guide cages of Anhil and others became brighter, and the guide insects were much more active than before.

Although it is not yet to the point where it can directly lead the way, it may be because there are no other traces nearby. As long as you are slightly closer to the next breath trace, you can start guiding.

Compared with the insignificant belongings, this is the harvest that truly makes Ancier satisfied.

The group, which doubled in number, came to a nearby camp for a short rest and enjoyed a delicious barbecue meal.

The taste of the sea bass was disappointing. Although the meat was of good quality, it had an earthy smell. It may need to be processed in advance to make it taste better. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly good at cooking.

The Qimian tribe, cats and dogs ate happily. Their taste buds were different from humans, so the fishy smell was not a disadvantage for them.

The meat of the Mud Ichthyosaurus is a real delicacy. The mud and mucus on the surface of the skin are burned away, and then the rough skin like shark skin is torn off, and the pink and tender muscles are revealed.

Simply grilled and sprinkled with some salt, it is very delicious. It doesn't taste like animal meat, but more like fish such as eel.

Feng Ying regretted not bringing back more. Even if there were no other monsters visiting the corpse, it would probably not be inedible after being soaked in muddy water for a long time.

After eating and drinking, and taking a brief rest, the two teams that had reached a cooperative relationship set off together and headed northeast on the pterosaur.

Different from the desert Gobi in the north and the swamp plains in the south, the terrain in the east and even the northeast of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland is very complex.

There are many strange rocks and rocks that protrude for unknown reasons. Together with the huge ant mounds that can be seen everywhere, they form a maze-like hilly area.

In order to search, they flew at a very low altitude and as slowly as possible.

Anxier and Feng Ying simply gave up flying and rode hounds to gallop among the rocks and hills. This speed and comfort were far inferior to flying, but they could search in more detail.

Just tiring out the two-toed hound.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off.

As they passed through a deserted mesa, the insect guide cages on their waists emitted light, and fluorescent blue guide insects flew out, guiding them in the direction of the source of the breath.

The hardest part of the survey is over, and once the guideworms begin to navigate, the rest becomes much easier.

The two immediately sent out a signal for their aerial search partners to land.

Following the guidance of the guide insect, they discovered two more traces in succession.

One spot is a small amount of gold shavings scattered in the sand and gravel. If there were not guide insects, such traces would almost be ignored.

The other place is a scratch mark left on the rock wall in a narrow part of the canyon.

This trace is equally inconspicuous.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a few gold dust and pebbles scattered on the ground, who could be sure that this was a colorful dragon and not another large monster such as the horned dragon and the dragon-killing dragon that passed by?

The extraction of breath is becoming more and more perfect, and the reaction of the guide insects is becoming more and more active, which means that they are getting closer to the target.

While everyone was happy, they also became wary.

In order to avoid encounters, hunting cats were sent out as scouts, and two editors who lacked the ability to protect themselves were also sent on tooth hounds to retreat as soon as an emergency occurred.

Of course, Ancil switched to walking in advance. Even if the strong wind could carry two people, and even though Gale might not care that much, he would not be stupid enough to share the ride with Hertha.

The group of people moved forward cautiously, and did not return to the camp after nightfall. Instead, they found a relatively safe mountain col to camp, and continued to follow the guide's guidance after dawn.

On the next day, which was also the afternoon of the third day that the "Phnom Penh" team came to the Big Ant Mound Wasteland, they came to a basin near the Grand Canyon.

In the distant past, there was once a lake here, but due to geological changes such as earthquakes, it eventually collapsed into a deep basin.

At the very bottom of the basin, there is a huge crack with a length of more than a hundred meters. It is like an open mouth on the earth, bottomless.

The guide insects in the insect guide cages of several people emitted a bright blue light, flying and converging to form a star-like light path, leading directly to the crack and the unknown underground world.

After staring at the dark crack in the ground for a few seconds, Anhil waved his hand.

"This is where we retreat."

Some readers are wondering whether something will happen to Herta Ancil - this is definitely not the case. Herta's character will still have a role, but it is purely to replace the role of the "experienced orc scholar".

After all, the game mentions that this scholar is too old and is no longer suitable for field operations. And then when we go to the ice field and have contact with the beast-tangled tribe, we still need scholars and translators to communicate.
