Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The three of them landed on the wall of the ruins of the ancient village and quickly formed a compact formation.

As always, Gordon led the way, Hayatta was at the rear, Ansir was in the middle, and Elle and the others stepped forward for a certain distance for reconnaissance.

Unlike the last time they came to investigate and explore the ruins of the ancient village, they knew nothing about it. This time, their goal was very clear, and they went straight to the huge cave at the bottom of the ruins of the ancient village.

In the ancient castle in the central area of ​​the ruins, there is a dry well that can lead directly to the ground, which Ge registered very clearly.

But when they ran all the way to the location of the ancient castle, they were embarrassed to find that most of the castle had collapsed, and the courtyard where the well was originally located was also buried by the ruins.

stare--

Hayata stared at the two guys leading the way.

Gordon laughed dryly and realized, "The last time Mantis Mantis manipulated Ruins City, chased it all the way out from the ground, and destroyed this entrance and exit along the way?"

"Rather than incidentally, I think it's more likely to be intentional." Anshir looked at the ruins, "It's like finding a mouse in the house, and it's reasonable to block the mouse hole."

Hayata is a bit speechless about the "rat" metaphor, but now is not the time to care about these, "Maybe rely on Elle to dig into the ground?"

Panlan, who grew up in the desert, shook her head, "It's not easy to meow. This place is a desert meow. If you don't know the geological conditions of the underground, you dig randomly. It's easy to encounter quicksand meow."

Gordon thought for a while, "There may be other entrances and exits in the ruins that we can pass through, we can search around.

If you really can't find it, you can only hide it and wait until nightfall like last time.

Maybe there will be male praying mantises coming out of the ground to look for food. At that time, Elle can dig and sneak in along the passageway it enters and exits. That should be safer. "

"It's so good, the local creatures know how to dig meow pei meow!" Panlan licked her paws habitually, and then spat out the sand.

Just when everyone was about to implement it, Zhu Chop put forward a more direct suggestion-fry it meow!

"The explosives carried on the lower body are not powerful enough, meow." Piggy turned over the luggage on his body, and then fixed his gaze on Anshir, "Borrow it from the next supernova meow."

Anshir didn't say anything, and took a supernova from the ammunition belt and handed it to the pork chop.

"Isn't this too risky?" Hayata hesitated: "If the mantis is really in the lair, won't the detonation of the supernova attract its anger?"

"Isn't that better?" Gordon said with a smile: "Let's stay away and hide, according to Julius, this is called 'fire reconnaissance'.

Thinking about it this way, this method is more efficient. The mantis was attracted by the explosion. Needless to say, we can prepare to evacuate after we arrange the personnel in charge of monitoring.

But if there is such a big commotion and the mantis still doesn't appear, then it's probably not in the nest, and it's more convenient for us to investigate further.

As expected of a pork chop, it was really thoughtful. "

"Meow" Piggy looked away guiltily, "Yes, I really think so, meow!"

"Nonsense meow, you simply want to blow up meow!" Pandan poked through it.

"Shut up meow!" To be on the safe side, Pig Chop begged for another supernova from Anshir, and then rushed towards the ruins holding two supernovas, "I'm going down now, meow, I'm sure the entrance will be blown up next time, meow!"

The hunters who understood the true thoughts of the pork chop were momentarily speechless.

With a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The pork chop that has gone further and further on the road of Bombcat, the core idea to solve the problem is an explosion, a larger-scale explosion.

When Pig Chop drilled deep into the ruins to find a suitable blasting point, Gordon and the others had retreated two to three hundred meters away.

Let alone a supernova, even if it was replaced with high-density dragon-killing carbon, the power of the explosion would never reach hundreds of meters away.

The main purpose of their retreating so far is to hide, and the mantis's perception is very keen. If the latter is really drawn out and finds them, it will be a lot of trouble when retreating.

The three of them, a dog and a cat found a relatively intact and solid relic building to hide in, and hid themselves, waiting for the explosion to happen.

A few minutes later, the pork chop also ran over following the smell, counting down the time in his mouth.

"Forty-eight meows, forty-seven meows, three meows, two meows, one meow!"

At the end of the countdown, there was no deafening explosion as expected, just two muffled "bang, bang".

Pan Lan looked suspiciously at the pork chop, "You won't let go of the squib, meow?"

Pig Chop jumped up, turned around and slapped Pandan's head a few times, "You're a squib meow! This is because all the energy of the explosion has been used to make the sound less meow!"

"Shh, be quiet."

Hayata held down the heads of the two Elu and made them lie down again.

A group of people hid in the relic house and lurked quietly. Gordon put his ears on the ground and listened for possible movements in the direction of the ruins.

After a while, Gordon thought he heard some movement, but he wasn't quite sure.

The desert area is not a quiet place, and the overwhelming wind and sand seriously interfere with the sound.

At least it wasn't the kind of heaven-shattering and earth-shattering movement from Xucheng.

"Wow!" Lie Feng raised his head, his ears pricked up.

"Something came out?" Anshir asked in a low voice.

"Wow!"

An Xier continued to ask: "Is it Ge Mantis?"

Lie Feng hesitated, listened carefully for a while, sniffed again, shook his head, "Wow!"

"I see."

"Can you understand this too?" Gordon asked in a low voice, "What did Gale say?"

"It shouldn't be the mantis mantis, maybe it's the male mantis like worker ants who came out to investigate the situation when they heard the movement." Anshir replied in a low voice.

Gordon frowned, this was not what they had planned.

After thinking for a moment, Gordon walked lightly to the window without windows, waved his arms and threw a fertilizer bomb far away.

The fertilizer bomb drew an arc in the air, and landed on the relic building nearly a hundred meters away, exploding a mass of traces of smell and color that made people frown.

"Xi Xi Suo Suo." In the sound of wind and sand, there seemed to be some other movements mixed in.

A few seconds later, Gale looked in the direction where Gordon threw the fertilizer bomb, and made another "bark" a few times.

"Those guys have gathered together, Gale Wind should mean that." Anshir "translated" a sentence

"The masonry blocking the entrance and exit should have been blown away, shall we take this opportunity to break in?" Hayata asked.

Gordon shook his head and squatted back to the corner, "No rush, as long as the male praying mantises don't find us, they shouldn't be wandering outside the nest for a long time, and they'll go back in a while.

We waited for them to return to the nest, and then quietly entered the nest, so as not to be blocked in the tunnel. "

"good."

The hunters lurked in place for nearly half an hour.

"Wow! Wow!"

"They should have all gone back," Anshir said.

"Wait another half an hour." Gordon took out the portable kerosene lamp used for cave lighting, checked it, and carefully hung it back on his waist. "We can't confirm whether the mantis is in the nest now. Be careful and try not to touch it." war."

The hunters never lacked patience, another half an hour passed, and the hunters who had waited enough and rested enough stood up.

They maintained their guard formation and came near the ruins of the castle, where a dark pit seemed to be inviting them to enter.

"Then comes the exciting part." Gordon lit the oil lamp with a flint, "Come bet on whether Her Majesty is at home."
