Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon and Pig Chop walked slowly along the edge of the huge pit.

Although I have not yet experienced the "sense of sight" mentioned by the pork chop, but in this huge dark and quiet space, it is inevitable to feel a sense of depression.

Gordon couldn't help putting his palm on the hilt of the epitaph behind him, and the hard touch reassured him.

"Look, I see the stairs, meow, right in front meow." Pig Chop's eyesight is better than Gordon's, and he huddled beside Gordon, "Are we really going down meow?"

"Um."

Gordon licked the pork chop's head, "Your perception is more sensitive, and the things below will have a greater impact on you. Stop anytime you can't bear it."

"It's alright meow meow!"

Gordon couldn't help recalling that when he first met the pork chop, when he first took it to fight against the Blue Velociraptor, the pork chop also looked like this.

Although I am afraid in my heart, I always try to be brave

"Come on my back."

".Meow meow?"

"You're not too heavy, help me keep an eye on what's behind me."

Pig Chop hesitated for a while, and finally jumped on Gordon's back, grabbed Gordon's armor with his claws, and fixed himself.

Its legs are a little soft.

Gordon smiled and walked towards the stone steps that appeared on the edge of the crater.

This stone step is a bit scary, about two meters wide, without guardrails, no sling pillars, and it is not the kind fixed on the wall, but goes straight down without any support.

The end of the ladder is engulfed in the darkness of the abyss, and it is impossible to see where it ends up.

"It should be able to lead to the bottom of the pit." Gordon said to himself.

He stepped up the steps.

When Gordon stepped on the stone steps with both feet, his heart skipped a beat.

He swallowed, "Pig Chop, I feel the sight you mentioned."

"Meow!"

Pig Chop buried his face behind Gordon, venting his fear with a cry, "It's getting more and more obvious meow!"

Gordon gasped for breath.

That feeling was like being stared at by some kind of malicious monster.

But no monster will stare at you like this for a moment, and the locking of the line of sight often means the beginning of an attack.

But the "line of sight" from the bottom of the deep pit just stared, lifelessly.

Closing his eyes and calming down his emotions, Gordon said to Pig Chop: "Pig Chop, if you think about it this way, there is no such thing as sight, it's just a feeling.

Just like being close to fire will make you hot, and being close to ice will make you cold, there is only some kind of substance that makes us feel uncomfortable at the bottom of the pit, and there is nothing to be nervous about. "

"Meow?" Pig Chop poked his head out a little, and opened his eyes a little.

"Whether it's hot or cold, it's just a warning signal from the body. Take this feeling as a signal and try to ignore it."

"It feels like it's a bloodbath." Try to follow Gordon's words, ignore the "sense of being watched" pork chop, and calm down.

It even has the spirit to complain.

"Better?"

"It's better meow." Pig Chop jumped off Gordon, "It's pointless to retreat now meow, this is an illusion meow, this is an illusion meow."

"Let's go. After so many years of life and death, it would be too embarrassing to be frightened mad by inexplicable fear without even seeing the 'thing' at the bottom of the pit."

"It makes sense, meow, I won't be afraid anymore meow!"

The pork chop's beard was still shaking, and Gordon didn't break it.

"Walk!"

Gordon took a deep breath again, changed his previous cautious posture, and began to quicken his pace, trotting all the way down while counting the number of steps.

This is how he relieves tension.

"Seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three"

"Eighty-nine, ninety meow!" The pig chop running on all fours followed Gordon to count.

The pace of the two became faster and faster, and in the end it seemed like they were running a race, you rushed down.

The sense of sight of horror enveloped them all the time.

But what one person and one cat are thinking in their minds at this time is "How many fucking floors are there on this staircase?"

Before they knew it, they had reached the end of the steps.

On the last few steps, Gordon and Pork Chop jumped down directly.

"Aha! I won!"

"It's a tie meow! It's just that your legs are longer so you can land a little faster meow!"

"What's wrong with the long legs, you still have four legs?"

"I don't accept it, meow!" Pig Chop frantically scratched at the stone bricks on the ground.

"Hey, it's useless if you don't accept it. By the way, how many floors have you counted?"

"Meow meow!" Piggy let off steam for a while before angrily said: "Five hundred and fifty-fourth floor meow!"

"You counted wrong, it's five hundred and fifty-six floors."

"Gordon counted wrong meow!"

"So on average, five hundred and fifty-five floors?"

"This number is too unlucky, meow!"

"How about we go up and count again?"

"There's something wrong with you, meow?!"

"Cough cough."

Gordon coughed twice, "There is something wrong, it should be that this equipment has affected the spirit, and the mood has become aroused again."

"I don't think it's because of the armor, meow."

"Let's ignore that." Gordon held up the torch, "There are five hundred floors, and if one floor is more than thirty centimeters, the pit is almost two hundred meters deep. It seems that it has reached the bottom of the pit."

One person and one cat fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Zhu Chop said: "The sense of sight is still meow, it's in that direction, it feels like it's not far away meow, do you want to go there meow?"

"Of course, we're all here now. Now that we're back the way we came, even if we can break through Lanlong's blockade and successfully evacuate, this unidentified gaze will become a nightmare for the rest of our lives."

"It's also meow, it's all here meow."

"Let's go, it's very close." Gordon pointed the torch in that direction, "Nothing jumped out, and there was no movement of struggling or breathing, and it sure couldn't be anything alive.

That being the case, what we have to do is to stabilize our emotions and stay calm no matter what we see. "

"I'm fully prepared mentally, meow." Piggy scratched his ears twice, "The worst case is just a sleeping ancient monster who wants to fill the gaps between our teeth meow."

"Don't scare yourself." Gordon took a step forward, and Pig Chop quickly followed.

With the light of the torch, the darkness in front of them was gradually broken.

A huge black stone tower appeared in front of them.

The hunter and the cat stopped.

Gordon was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Talking about pork chops, do you feel this stone tower?"

"It's very similar to the shape of the whole ruins, a flat-topped pyramid." Piggy took out two incendiary bombs that had just been remodeled, ignited them and threw them out.

The incendiary bomb did not explode, but burned into two fires, and together with the torch in Gordon's hand, it illuminated the dark stone tower in front of him.

"If my sense of direction is correct, this Blackstone Tower corresponds almost to the center of the ruins." Gordon looked up at the stone tower, "It should be the core of the ruins."

"The source of that strange feeling is meow on the top platform of the tower. After climbing up, everything will be clear meow."

"I still have some expectations, let's go, pork chop." Gordon took the pork chop and stepped on the stone steps on the side of the Blackstone Tower.

one step, two steps

As they continued to go up, the frightening sense of gaze became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a real sense of oppression, falling on their hearts.

".interesting."

Firmly suppressing the instinctive impulse in his heart to turn around and run, or even scream, Gordon tried to raise his head and continue climbing.

The pork chop was trembling all over, but still gritted his teeth, and followed closely behind.

They came to the top of the tower.

In the center of the nearly 100-square-meter platform, a huge head was placed here.

After countless years of erosion, the pitch-black scales have long since decayed, and the two pairs of sharp horns protruding backwards are still sharp.

The eye socket on the left is empty, while on the right, the dark gold evil eye that has already crystallized captures the spirits of Hunter and Ai Lu.

They can't breathe.
