Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

In this way, the time came to the afternoon, the sun was fierce, and the dry air that was almost completely free of moisture scalded the skin.

If it weren't for the support of cold drinks, even a hunter with outstanding physique would quickly suffer from heat stroke.

"There's nothing in here." Gordon wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttered and walked out of a dilapidated building without a roof.

In his hand, he held a sharp iron braze that was one meter long and the thickness of a finger.

This is borrowed from archaeologists before departure, poking around, maybe you can find some hidden basements or compartments.

"Wang woo—" Lie Feng called out aggrievedly.

It is getting hot to death, the fluffy fur has an excellent insulation effect, it is naturally comfortable in the ice and snow, and it is under the scorching sun in the desert.

"How about I shave your hair for you, meow?"

"Wow!" Lie Feng shook his head to express his refusal, and panted for breath to dissipate heat.

Anshir, who was in charge of security, jumped down from a ruined building, "Still haven't found it?"

"Um."

The hunters found a building with a half-roof that could block the sun and got into it to take a rest.

Gordon said: "The only information that can be obtained so far is that these buildings were probably residential areas back then, and the age of this relic must not have reached the ancient era."

"What do you say? Did you find any traces of life?" Anshir asked.

"Not really, just found some remnants of equipment."

Gordon squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, but the fine sand still slipped from between his fingers, leaving only a few rotten wood chips the size of wheat grains in his palm.

"Sawdust, I guess it might be rotting furniture, some broken crockery, badly corroded cutlery or something."

Anshir nodded.

As for Gordon's judgment on the age of the ruins, he didn't even ask.

This is too easy to define, just compare the completeness of the ancient village ruins and Lingfeng ruins.

The civilization that built the ancient village must be far less advanced in all aspects of technology than the ancient civilization.

Throwing away those sawdust, Gordon patted the ashes on his hands, "Eat and rest, let's continue to explore a little bit after the sun goes down a little bit."

"Wow?!"

Gale, who was still lying on the panting death a second ago, suddenly raised his head.

Its abnormal performance surprised Gordon and Anshir.

The Hound's sense of smell and hearing is even more sensitive than Elle's. Gaefeng probably discovered something unusual.

Gordon immediately stood up, and Anshir jumped onto the saddle on Gale's back, "Go, take me to see!"

"Wow!"

Gale's limbs scraped the ground fiercely, turned into an afterimage, and rushed out.

Gordon and Pork Chop are a close second.

Naturally, their speed couldn't catch up with Gale, but they wouldn't be able to catch up within a short distance.

Gale carried Anshir like this, running wildly among the ruined walls, jumping over the slightly shorter wall, and soon came to a domed building that at least could not be seen from the outside.

Anshir jumped off Gale Wind's back, and the fierce moment [Shiyu] unfolded instantly, and the muzzle pointed at the only entrance and exit of the building, but he didn't go in immediately.

Less than a minute later, Gordon and Pork Chop arrived.

The two communicated briefly with tactical gestures. Gordon pulled out the great sword of the epitaph, put the sword in a suitable position for exerting force, lowered his center of gravity, and walked slowly towards the dome building step by step.

Anshir was in a squatting position with the crossbow loaded, ready to fire at any time.

Gordon was fully alert. Although he didn't feel any danger from the building, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

He stopped outside the door of the building, glanced inside, and found nothing, Gordon frowned.

He threw a flash bomb into it, and after the strong light flashed, he suddenly accelerated his stride and rushed in directly.

His eyes quickly glanced over the invisible corners outside the door, the roof, and blind corners where monsters might be hiding.

Still nothing was found.

Gordon made a "safe" gesture, and Anshir, Pork Chop and the others walked in one after another.

Inside the building with a space of about forty to fifty square meters, there is nothing, it is empty.

Their previous urgency and tension seemed like a farce.

The corner of Anshir's mouth twitched. He pulled Gaefeng's cheeks, but he didn't say much. Mistakes are always inevitable, and it's not a big deal.

"Woof—"

Liefeng whimpered aggrievedly.

It lowered its head and sniffed carefully, and finally came to a corner of the wall, scratching the ground.

"Meow?"

Feeling that something was wrong, the pork chop leaned over and helped to pick it up twice, then suddenly turned around and said, "Something is wrong meow, the ground here seems to have been planed, maybe something got into it a while ago.

It's just that the indoor area is also sandy, it's too dry, and the potholes will be buried by quicksand, so there are not many traces. "

"Really found something?" Gordon looked at Gale in surprise.

"Wow!"

"Yes, yes, I wronged you." Anshir rubbed Gaefeng's head, and stuffed another piece of jerky into its mouth as encouragement.

"Do you want to chase and dig down now?" Pig Chop looked at Gordon and asked.

Gordon thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need, you are the only one who can dig the ground to track here, and the underground is not your home field, so there is no need to take this risk.

My idea is to stay away from here for the time being, and observe secretly, maybe I can squat down to find something. "

"I agree."

Anshir folded and put away Ji Ke [Shi Yu], "This is just an exploration mission, there is no need to take risks, let alone risk your life."

"Okay meow"

Having made up their mind, the hunters and his party exited the dome building, and found a high-rise building with a wide view and suitable for concealment a hundred meters away to hide in and watch latently.

Active exploration and passive squatting, it is difficult to say which method is better.

After searching for most of the day, they found nothing, and now they finally came across some suspicious clues, and Gordon and the others were naturally unwilling to let them go easily.

Wait until the sun goes down.

"How should I say, continue to guard, or go back to the camp on the other side of the city wall?"

"Keep watching."

Gordon didn't hesitate at all, he chewed a piece of food to carry, and said: "There are many nocturnal creatures in the desert, maybe that unknown thing likes to come and go at night?

Let's wait, at least until the sun is fully up, before thinking about going back to camp to rest. "

"Okay, then we have to arrange guards in rotation, so don't fall asleep in the middle of the night when you are out of energy." An Xier agreed.

Gordon thought for a while, "I'll watch the first shift until midnight, and pork chop and Gale watch in the second half of the night. They have better vision at night. You can come to Anshir from early morning to morning."

"Good meow."

"Wow!"

"I'm OK."

In the desert at night, the temperature dropped sharply.

During the day, people have to drink cold drinks to relieve the heat, and at night, they have to build a bonfire or take hot drinks to maintain their body temperature.

Right now, they are lurking and squatting, and it is impossible to light a fire, but fortunately, hot drinks are already prepared.

When the moon is in the middle of the sky.

Gordon took another bottle of hot drink, and as the spicy medicinal liquid poured in, a hot current spread from his abdomen. Gordon let out a breath of cold air, and his limbs, which were slightly stiff from the cold, became much more alive.

"Gordon meow, it's time for a shift change meow." Piggy's low voice came from behind.

Gordon turned his head subconsciously and saw two pairs of glowing pupils, a pair of cat eyes and a pair of dog eyes, which were a little scary.

"Wang..." Gaefeng had just uttered a sound when his mouth was pinched by the pork chop.

"Quiet meow!"

At this moment, a golden swift shadow flashed past the domed building they were monitoring.
