Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The sudden thunder made the hearts of the hunters jump.

Gordon raised his fist and made a "stop and alert" gesture.

Ted and Az immediately set up large shields, protecting Alva from the left and right in the center.

Alva, who had never enjoyed such treatment, was stunned.

Unlike Fengying, who carries a big shield but can rush out at any time shouting "Get the fuck out of here!", Ted and Aziz are both serious heavy-armed defenders.

What a damn sense of security.

Gordon looked up at the sky in the distance. Although it was not a cloudless sunny day, it did not look like thunder.

The source of this thunder is more interesting.

"Could it be Mingbolong?" Gordon turned his head sideways and asked Alva.

Alva shook his head, "It's impossible to judge. There is no clear evidence from the information currently available to prove that Mingbolong has the ability to release thunder and lightning.

All of this is just speculation based on the two points of ‘aquatic monster’ and ‘luminescence phenomenon’. "

Gordon was helpless, "This is not an academic report, there is no need to be so rigorous."

"Ahem, I'm used to it."

Alva glanced uncomfortably at the strong men beside him, who were as strong as iron walls, "In my personal opinion, the probability that it was Qilin that summoned that thunder was probably higher than that of Mingbolong, who had limited understanding.

After all, there are more than just two sightings of traces of phantom beasts being found on the Coral Platform. "

Speaking of this, he paused for a few seconds before continuing: "However, Qilin does not release 'weird and changeable light'.

If the thunder just now really came from the phantom beast Qilin, we may have to be prepared to encounter two ancient dragons. "

"Two ancient dragons." Gordon said to himself.

He didn't feel nervous, but instead felt excited from within.

Excited?

Gordon frowned. It is true that he has the habit of improving himself under pressure, but this does not mean that he is the kind of martial arts idiot who thinks "Fight!!".

This time is not for a fierce battle, not to mention that the opponents may be two extremely dangerous ancient dragons. This excitement comes out of nowhere.

Gordon was immediately alert.

As he concentrated and sorted out his thoughts, the sudden excitement dissipated like an hallucination.

"Sure enough, you guys are still dishonest." Gordon punched his breastplate.

"Thunder's location is not in the same direction as the camp. It is quite far away, but the camp is still safe.

Speed ​​up, let's get to the camp first and settle down before we talk. "

In a complex landform like the Coral Platform, hunting cats move much faster than hunters.

Pork Chop and Fish Roe, who were responsible for exploring the path, had already arrived near the camp, and they naturally heard the thunder.

The fish roe was obviously a little nervous, but the pork chop seemed much more at ease.

It let the fish roe enter the camp first, and then wandered around the camp.

Fish Roe hesitated for a moment and then followed.

It knew that its skills as a hunting cat were much inferior to that of Pig Chop, so it followed Pig Chop quietly to avoid disturbing the other party.

Soon it discovered that Pork Chop seemed to be looking for something.

Although his character is a bit timid, he couldn't hold back his curiosity in the end and asked cautiously: "What are you looking for now?"

Pig Chop replied casually: "The place where the Strange Face Clan left their graffiti, I remember there is a place nearby.

Ah, here meow, found meow. "

Pig Chop came to a stop in front of a gray coral reef wall. Looking at the graffiti of the Strange Face Tribe on the rock wall, it nodded with satisfaction.

"Are you leaving a message for the strange-faced tribe, meow?" The long pointed ears of the fish roe twitched.

——Leave patterns with specific meanings at relatively fixed locations to communicate and convey information.

The Deters, or most of the orcs living in the wild, have similar habits.

"That's right, meow."

Pork Chop looked around, looking for something that could be used as paint.

Yuzhi took out a small tube of dark red ointment from his bag and handed it to it.

Pig Chop was a little surprised, "You still carry this with you, meow?"

Yuzi explained in a low voice: "The Fish Basket Clan, the Insect Cage Clan, the Wasteland Guardian Clan, the Musical Clan and the Plundering Clan.

These Detel tribes who had good relations with the investigation team formed an alliance.

In the wild, we often use similar methods to exchange information or seek help from cats. "

Pork Chop blinked. It didn't know anything about this matter. It should be a matter in Detel's circle.

As natives of various places, those wild Detel should have a lot of information in their hands.

After thinking for a few seconds, Pig Chop put some red ointment on his paws, took two cat paw prints on the Qimian Clan's "message board", and drew an arrow pointing in the direction of the camp.

This kind of message may not be in line with the language of the Qimian people, but it is concise and clear enough.

The strange-faced tribe passing by will probably find the camp after seeing it.

After finishing the message and returning the remaining paint to the fish roe, Piglet asked: "Can you contact Lu Hualou's performing clan cat?"

"Okay, meow." Yuzhi nodded.

It looked around, sniffing as it walked, and soon found a coral reef that could not be seen by outsiders and climbed up.

Pork Chop followed curiously.

Compared with its search based on memory and luck, Roe obviously knows better how to find the "message board" of the Deters.

On the top of the coral reef, there is a cat-head-shaped rock with some patterns drawn on it.

Yuzi took a look and said, "It's a message from the performance tribe. It says to be careful of thunderstorms and avoid high places."

"It seems that they do know something. Is there a way to get them to come to the camp and meet us?"

Yuzi nodded again and left a few patterns on the cat head statue.

Pork Chop took a closer look and found that he really couldn't understand it. Should this be considered a unique text of Deter?

"If you are interested, I can teach you." Yuzi whispered.

Pork Chop patted Yuzi's shoulder vigorously, "Thank you very much!"

When Pork Chop led Yuzi back to the camp, Gordon and the others had been there for a while.

Noticing the shyness on Yuzi's face, the four of them looked at Pork Chop in unison.

"Sure, Pork Chop, where did you take Yuzi for so long?" Ted asked with a strange smile.

Pork Chop held up his paw, "We left a message for the Strange Faces and the Musicians of the Coral Plateau, meow. They should come to the camp later meow.

Did you hear the thunder just now meow? The Musicians seem to know something about thunder meow!"

"That's it?"

"Or else meow?"

Gordon couldn't help but cover his face, "What on earth am I expecting."

Ted smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "I thought you found a wild place"

Gordon elbowed him in time, knocking back the dirty talk he was about to spit out.

Clearing his throat, he changed the subject, "Well, in addition to the 'strange light', we also have to investigate the thunder.

The location of the thunder is relatively certain, so it should be easier to find clues. My idea is to investigate that area first.

As for the 'strange light', we can leave it until night. Although there are more unexpected factors in night operations, it should be easier to find those strange lights.

What do you think?"

"You have a point, but I think we should grill the meat first. If we leave it to night or even tomorrow, the meat will be stale."

"That makes sense."

"Indeed."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Fang Pterosaurs.

"That's right, let's grill the meat first."
