Chapter 870 Xianglan is teaching

On the beach, Alva lit a fire with a sad face.

Cover the lit fire with some wet leaves or something, and thick smoke will rise. The weather conditions today are good, the wind is very light, and the smoke column can be vaguely seen dozens of kilometers away.

As for whether other teams will see it and rush over, it depends on luck.

The four hunting cats and the dark night also set off.

They were divided into three groups, and the most experienced Bones acted alone, traversing the basically oval island until reaching the other end of the island.

Pandan and Owl, Pork Chop and Fire Scythe searched separately along the coastline of the island. Whichever team found something would send out signal flares to notify each other.

There was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but Xianglan felt that there was something wrong with the guy she was assigned with.

With its keen perception, it could clearly feel that the latter's attention had been locked on it and almost never left.

Then consider the work direction of the legendary Dark Night.

I always feel like this guy wants to take advantage of me when I'm alone.

This terrifying suspicion made the hair on the tip of Pandan's tail explode. It stopped, jumped back, arched its back and bared its fangs, glaring demonstratively at the owl following closely behind it.

"Meow——! What are you doing, meow!"

"?" The owl looked at Xianglan inexplicably.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I don't."

"There's meow!"

"." The scene was deadlocked for several seconds, and the owl finally admitted: "I'm observing and learning from you."

"Learn from meow?"

"I have never experienced working with hunting cats and searching for traces of monsters. You guys seem to have a lot of experience, so I am learning from you."

"Say meow early!" Xianglan stood up. It was the first time she heard that someone wanted to learn from it. Xianglan puffed up her belly happily, "I can teach you how to meow!"

".Thanks."

Xianglan turned around and meowed while continuing to run forward, "My secret is that smell is the key! As long as you follow the smell, whether it's a trace or the monster itself, it's easy to find it!"

Owl lowered his eyes and glanced at the tip of his nose, wanting to complain about something, but in the end he habitually said, "Understood."

Xianglan, who rarely had the opportunity to be a teacher, seemed very interested. After running for a while, she stood up and sniffed from side to side, saying, "Whenever the wind blows, I have to sniff carefully."

Wind can sometimes bring smells from far away places, which is also very important."

"clear."

"You can hold your breath for a short time from time to time to avoid being exposed to a certain smell for a long time and causing olfactory paralysis."

"clear."

The owl has become an answering machine.

She has been following Pandan's method, because the techniques shared by the latter are indeed very practical, but it is a pity that her sense of smell is not as sharp as Ellu.

Another gust of sea breeze came.

Xianglan suddenly stopped and sniffed carefully towards the sea.

The owl followed suit and carefully distinguished the smells hidden in the sea breeze, and actually made some discoveries.

Her eyes widened slightly, "What is this smell?"

"Yes, meow. It's a bit like the smell of black oil, meow, but it's different, meow. This smell feels a bit familiar, meow." Xianglan ruffled her ears, "I remember it, meow! It's the sulfur smell of magma, meow!"

One person and one cat raised their heads, and across the sea several kilometers away, another island was in sight.

"Which island has an active volcano crater?" Xianglan asked the owl.

The owl's tone returned to calmness, "It's not mentioned in the information, but it may be that the vegetation on the island is not considered lush from here."

"Let's go over there and investigate, meow!"

Xianglan put the current task behind her and pointed to the distant island, meowing loudly, "Scholars say that the black oil of Styracosaurus has a high proportion of sulfur content, so it should like this kind of volcanic island."

The place meow.”

Feeling that Xianglan's analysis made sense, the owl nodded and prepared to walk into the sea.

"What are you doing, meow?!"

"Go to that island."

"You want to swim over there, meow?!"

"yes."

"What's wrong with you, meow?!" Xianglan jumped up and kicked the owl, "Go back to Alva, meow, and ask him to drive us there in an airship, meow!"

"clear."

One person and one cat quickly returned to the beach where the airship landed.

The young scribe Alva was fiddling with the bonfire boredly, while thinking about what kind of things to throw in would produce a more conspicuous smoke column.

When he saw Xianglan and Owl running back, he was still a little stunned.

"Take off the airship, take off the airship, meow!" Xianglan jumped up and down, "The island in the south is a volcanic island, meow, I can smell the smell of sulfur, meow, Styracosaurus likes to eat that meow!"

Alva was obviously not the kind of person who followed the rules. He immediately jumped up and climbed into the airship to prepare for takeoff.

The owl looked at Xianglan, "If you need to launch a signal flare, please inform the other two teams."

"Don't meow yet, we are just guessing, meow. We will notify you when we find the exact traces."

"clear."

Small airboats have poor carrying capacity, poor ability to withstand extreme weather, and are not very fast. Their only advantage is flexibility and convenience.

One person can easily control it and take off quickly.

The airboat drifted leisurely towards the island that was suspected to have a volcanic crater. As the distance got closer, the smell of sulfur in the air became more obvious.

Alva controlled the airship to lower its altitude. He looked at the bushes on the island that had turned gray. "It seems that there is indeed a crater. There should have been a small eruption in the past few days. There is still volcanic ash on the plants."

As for the crater, it is generally in the center of the island. Should we land here, or should we fly directly there?"

"Fly over there, meow!" Xianglan waved her paw.

One of the two people next to him is not decisive, and the other is accustomed to obeying orders. As a result, he became the commander.

The airboat maintained a height of several hundred meters above the ground and moved forward slowly. It was easy to find the crater from the air. Soon, they discovered the small volcanic rock mountain.

When she was about to pass over the crater, Xianglan suddenly felt excited, "This, this kind of smell, occasionally has a bad feeling, meow!"

Alva knew that the perception of trained hunting cats was much sharper than that of ordinary people, so he decisively began to climb higher.

The small airship slowly rose.

The two of them and the cat stared closely at the location of the crater. They all had a premonition that something would suddenly rush out of the crater.

But it didn't.

When the airship arrived directly above the crater, they witnessed and confirmed that the crater was empty, the magma was basically extinguished, and there was nothing entrenched and living in it.

Faced with such a result, they couldn't tell for a moment whether they felt happy or disappointed.

"Wait a minute, meow?!" Sharp-eyed Panlan suddenly made some new discoveries.

It took the telescope from Alva's hand, observed the array carefully, and then jumped up excitedly.

"Seven o'clock direction, meow! There is black oil on the mountain near the foot of the mountain, but the ground is dark, so I can't see clearly, meow! Although it's not in the crater, it should be around here, meow!"

The owl tightened the straps of his armor and weapons, "Do you want to land now and conduct ground reconnaissance?"

Xianglan was stunned for a moment, curled up her neck and shook her head seriously, "It's better to forget it, meow, let's launch the signal flares, and leave the ground reconnaissance work to Zhupa and the others, meow."

"."

Alva looked at the owl.

The owl took a deep breath and made the decision for the first time, "Land."

"Meow meow meow!?"
