Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Holding the mentality of "it's over now, let's eat first", the hunters and the hunting cats enjoyed a delicious meal of roasted pterosaur meat.

Even though the hunters had a big appetite, they could only barely eat two of them. The rest was too much to fit in, but Gordon still ordered Pork Chop to roast the third one, and asked it to sprinkle a lot of spices that were unnecessary but liked by the orcs.

The aroma of roasted meat and spices drifted far away and became the best signpost.

Not long after waiting, several strange-faced people followed the smell and came over. They saw the message left by Pork Chop on the rock wall and happily came to the hunters' camp.

For various reasons, Gordon Pork Chop was quite familiar with the strange-faced people in the New World. Before they took out the token, these strange-faced people recognized them and danced with joy.

Gordon remembered the tricks that Gale told them to deal with the strange-faced people. Without even saying hello, he pointed to the roasted meat that was roasted and cooked at the right temperature and smelled fragrant.

"Eat!"

Although they didn't speak the same language, the meaning was clear enough.

The Qimian tribe cheered and gathered around the barbecue grill, fighting for food.

When the Qimian tribe had almost finished eating, Gordon smiled and asked the questions they wanted to know - about the strange light and the thunder.

As the natives who have lived in this area for generations, the Qimian tribe really knows a lot.

After Alva's translation, the hunters learned that the thunder came from a "glowing big spirit deer", which undoubtedly refers to the Qilin.

According to the Qimian tribe, the Qilin occasionally comes to this area, and there will be no danger as long as you don't provoke it.

As for the "strange light", the Qimian tribe's answer is vague.

Of course, they didn't intentionally conceal the information, but they themselves were not very clear.

However, there are also two pieces of information that caught the attention of the hunters.

Alva translated these two sentences more directly. The first sentence is "the light appears high up, on the top of the mountain, and sometimes in the sky", and the second sentence is "the light brings darkness and waterfalls".

The strange-faced people enthusiastically invited the hunters to visit their camp and said that they could mobilize their companions to help investigate.

But Gordon declined. This was not necessary for the time being. If there was a real need later, he would ask them for help.

Taking the remaining barbecue, the strange-faced people left happily. It was a pity that they could not help their friends. The little guys seemed a little regretful.

After the strange-faced people left, Gordon helped to hang the other peeled and cleaned Fangyilong on the grill. Pork chop generously sprinkled spices and continued to grill.

Fish Roe's expression was a little subtle. It looked around. If it was not wrong, the second group of guests had actually arrived.

It was just that they were more timid and didn't seem to want to show their heads.

Pork chop actually felt it too. It reached its claws into the seasoning jar and dug it out, and then splashed out a large handful.

Rather than sprinkling the seasoning on the meat, it was more like sprinkling it into the fire. The strong and pungent smell of the spices spread, choking it and making it sneeze twice.

Fish Roe also meowed loudly, inviting it in the Detel language.

In the end, I don’t know whether it was the smell of barbecue and spices or the call of Fish Roe that worked.

The two Detels, who were hiding in the dark and secretly observing everything in the hunter camp, finally came out carefully.

They carried musical instruments made of huge conchs on their backs. There was no doubt that they were Detels from the playing family.

Looking at the two Detels shrinking their heads and ready to turn around and run away at any time, Gordon was a little confused.

Logically, after the Grand Canyon was blown through and the roads to the central and northern parts of the New World were opened, the hunters and researchers of the investigation team should have come to the Coral Plateau many times, and they should be familiar with both sides.

Why are they so vigilant? Is there any unscrupulous hunter who often comes to threaten and bully them?

Yu Zi walked up and started to communicate with them.

Then everyone was surprised to find that the two Detels could actually speak human language. Although they were not particularly fluent, communication was not a problem.

That would be convenient.

Gordon invited them to eat barbecue with a smile, but the two Detels seemed a little hesitant.

"Yes, we need to do something, meow?"

"For example, when fighting monsters, let us play musical instruments next to us, meow?"

Gordon's mouth twitched, "No, I just invite you to eat meat."

The two Detels still looked unconvinced.

"Really?"

"You really won't point a cannon at us after eating a bite of meat and say, 'You ate my food for nothing, and you still want to run?'"

Gordon: "..."

Now you don't have to guess who that guy is.

No? You are so generous to the Qimian tribe, why can't you be nicer to the Detels? !

Gordon and his friends spent a lot of time talking, and got repeated assurances from Yu Zi, and the two Detels who played a group finally ate in small bites.

Seeing that they relaxed a little, Gordon coughed twice, "Ahem, well, I have something to think about..."

Just as he started talking, the two Detters jumped up as if they were electrocuted and turned around to run.

They were caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed piglet, and they struggled desperately, meowing shrilly, looking like they were dying.

Gordon's forehead veins jumped, and he finally understood why Gale bullied these guys.

Compared to the bold and straightforward Qimian tribe, these Dettl from the performance tribe are so timid that it is annoying.

If it weren't for Yuzi, he would have wanted to smash a big sword in front of them to make them quiet down.

After a lot of effort, he finally calmed down the two timid guys.

"I don't plan to ask you to do anything, I just want to ask you something." Gordon said unhappily.

After listening to Yuzi's explanation, the two Dettl who understood the hunters' purpose were a little embarrassed.

You and I talked back and forth.

"Lightning is everywhere, but as long as you don't get too close, it's generally safe."

"Don't go too high, sometimes you will be struck by lightning."

"Strange lights appear at night."

"Didn't Dizi say last time that he saw it on a rainy day? On the highest mountain, it was still raining heavily, like a river pouring down from the mountain."

Alva recorded carefully.

The Detters talked a lot more, and by the time they finished, they were almost full.

Faced with these two timid and shrewd guys, Gordon was a little helpless, waved his hand, and let them take away the remaining barbecue.

The two Detters carried the barbecue and left happily, making Yu Zi a little embarrassed.

Alva summarized the intelligence, "The situation is almost clear now. Qilin is operating in the area a little further south.

It is not recommended to operate by pterosaur, as there is a risk of being struck by lightning. It is recommended to approach from the ground, observe and confirm its status according to the situation, and then leave."

Gordon nodded, "Let's do it from the ground. The distance is not too far. You plan the approach and retreat routes."

"Yes."

Alva drew a line on the map, "Then there is the main investigation target of this mission, the 'weird light'.

The Qimian tribe and Detel both mentioned 'high places', 'mountaintops', as well as 'dark nights' and 'heavy rains'.

It just so happens that the highest peak of the Coral Plateau is in the area further northeast, and can be seen directly from here.

We will complete the investigation of Qilin first, and then return to the camp to rest.

Looking at the weather, it should rain in the next two days. We can wait for a rainy night and then go to the highest mountain to take a look."
