"Xiaohu, have you found anything?"

Hongxing, who had no clues, suddenly saw that Xiaohu seemed to have found something, squatted in the pit and sniffed around, and hurriedly asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Meow, there's a smell to stay!"

Xiaohu's answer made Hongxing's eyes light up.

"Can you smell any creature?"

"Meow, I don't know!" Xiaohu shook his head, "But it smells familiar." ”

"Familiar...... Red Star said after a pause, "can you follow the smell to find the thief?" ”

"Meow, it's difficult!"

Xiaohu looked a little reluctant, obviously not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"This matter is very important, but if the supplies of this supply camp are stolen, if the supplies of other supply camps are also stolen, it will be tantamount to a disaster for the hunters who go deep into the desert! We must get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible and find out the thief! ”

Red Star had no choice but to tell Xiaohu about the seriousness of this matter.

After thinking about it, in order to stimulate Xiaohu's enterprising spirit, Red Star said: "If you can investigate the truth and solve this incident, maybe you will be regarded as a hero by everyone!" ”

"Eng...... Male! Hero! Xiaohu flashed his starry eyes, already fascinated by the word [hero], "Woo meow, the matter of finding the thief is on me!" ”

As he spoke, Xiaohu used his nose very hard, and through his sensitive sense of smell, he followed the direction of the smell to find the past.

Five minutes later......

"Meow, the smell stops here!"

Xiaohu had a depressed expression on his face, even more disappointed than Red Star.

"The desert is windy and sandy, and the smell lingers for a short time, you have done your best, don't be discouraged."

Hongxing comforted Xiaohu while thinking of clues in his head.

[Since Xiaohu can still smell the smell, it means that the supplies were stolen recently]

[Also, judging from the direction of the smell, the thief should have gone west with supplies]

Unless the thief is human, there is not, and there is no need to disguise or disguise the traces and smells.

"Let's go, Xiaohu, let's look west!"

A man and a cat, and they didn't care about resting at night, so they carried their bags and set off in the direction where the smell was finally interrupted: west.

Along the way, thanks to Xiaohu's intermittent smell of the previous interruption, they were convinced that there was no mistake in the direction they were heading, and strengthened their confidence to continue to search in this direction.

After walking for more than three hours, they finally made a new discovery.

"Meow, what's that!"

Sharp-eyed little tiger ...... No, it should be said that the short little tiger was the first to make the discovery.

I saw a very inconspicuous position under a sand dune, revealing a black hole about the height of a small tiger.

"Be careful, stand back, I'll take a look!"

Red Star drew his full attention and slowly moved towards the hole.

[There is no abnormality in the surrounding area]

[I didn't feel the vibration under the sand]

[As for the monsters lurking under the sand......]

As he approached the entrance to the cave, Red Star didn't hesitate to throw a sonic boom to test if there were any monsters lurking under the sand.

Airplanes~~

The sound of the sonic boom echoed far away in the silent desert night.

And the monsters that Red Star feared the most lurking under the sand showed no signs of appearing.

"Huh~~ Xiaohu, you can come here, you come and smell if there is any smell here."

"Meow, okay!"

Xiaohu was so excited that he couldn't walk properly, and he jumped to the entrance of the cave with all four stubbornly, jumped and jumped, stuck his head in, and shook his nose very hard.

"Meow, smelled, very strong smell! The thief must be in it! ”

"Very well, let's dig this hole!"

Hongxing sneered, took out two iron pickaxes from his bag, handed one to Xiaohu, and took himself as one, digging towards the edge of the hole.

……

"This is ......"

After some hard work, Hongxing looked at the completely exposed hole, no, it shouldn't be said to be the hole now, it was an entrance made of stone bricks, square in shape, one meter high and one meter wide.

"This is...... Relic?! ”

Such an entrance is obviously not a natural formation, but a man-made object, and judging from the weathered stone bricks, there is a chance that this is the ancient ruins that Red Star has been looking for!

"Meow, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Before Xiaohu could understand the mood of the red star, he leaned into the entrance of the ruin and took a look, even with a pair of cat's eyes that could see in the dark, he couldn't see through the deep passage in the entrance of the ruins.

"No, no! Wait a minute! ”

Happiness came so fast that Red Star still couldn't believe his eyes.

It's like a dream to find a thief of supplies, only to accidentally discover an ancient ruin that you have been searching for but can't get.

However, as Red Star wakes up from his dream, doubts follow.

[Strange, what kind of creature would use ancient ruins as a lair? 】

Judging by the size of the entrance to the ruins, this creature is the size of a tiger cub and is a social creature - it is impossible for a creature of this size to steal supplies from the camp alone.

[Could it be the legendary Strange Face Clan? 】

The Odd Face Clan, which can also be called a mysterious race in the Monster Hunter Calendar Games, in this world where the Red Star crossed, the information of the Strange Face Clan has only appeared in some ancient documents, and there are no sightings, and scholars generally believe that the Strange Face Clan has become extinct.

Only Red Star knows that with the pace of human exploration, sooner or later the traces of the Odd Face Clan will be discovered.

[If it is the Odd Noodles Clan, their attitude towards humans is not friendly, and the individual strength is strong, once we encounter groups of Strange Faces in such a narrow place, Xiaohu and I will not be spared! 】

The most sensible thing for Red Star to do now is to memorize the location of the entrance to this ruin, and then immediately return to Huangsha Village to report to the Hunter Guild, and gather a large army to explore this ruin.

However, Hongxing found that he couldn't suppress the urgent impulse in his heart at all!

"Xiaohu, I'll go in first, you follow me, if I let you run in any situation, don't hesitate, run out immediately!"

"Meow, okay!"

The simple little tiger didn't understand the potential meaning of Red Star's words, and agreed with a big grin, and only at this time, Red Star hoped that Little Tiger's simplicity could be maintained for a longer time.

"Alright, let's go inside!"

As he spoke, Red Star found a torch and lit it, then lay down and crawled into the ruins.
