"But...... It's such a long way to the village of Millard, how can the contents of this cave be stored? After all, we usually hunt around here, and we haven't left too far, and there is no gate in this cave that can be locked, so it's possible that someone came in and stole the materials we've worked so hard to hunt these days, meow......"

Suddenly thinking of this, and then talking to himself, Wen Long hesitated a little.

"Did you leave Catherine here and go to the village to find the merchant first? It doesn't seem to be suitable, although Catherine, this woman, has gained considerable strength after this period of training, there should be no beasts in the vicinity that can threaten her...... But what if she happens to meet a man with flattery and cheats her away? That's not going to work! Uncle Ben has an obligation to prevent ignorant girls from becoming stumbling women! Meow! ”

Just as Wen Long was thinking this, suddenly Catherine spoke.

"Mr. Cat, it's easy to block the cave and keep people from entering."

"How? Meow? ”

"It's okay like this......"

I don't know when, Catherine had already moved a huge rock, and then with a "boom" blocked the entire rock at the entrance to the cave.

"Uh...... That is true...... Not to mention people, even if the bear comes, it can't be moved...... Meow. Looking at the huge rock that completely blocked the entrance to the cave, which was more than four meters high and more than five meters wide, even Wenlong had to admit it.

"Well, well done, let's go to Millad Village together, Meow!"

……

Walking through the Himeron Mountain Road to the village of Millard, all the way are people walking in the opposite direction of Catherine and Wenlong.

Because it's early in the morning, most hunters leave early to hunt in the hunting grounds and then return to the village of Milad before the sun sets in the evening. So when they saw Wenlong and Catherine, who seemed to have come back from outside, they also showed surprised expressions.

Of course, this surprised expression was not only that, Wen Long also vaguely heard someone whispering.

"Oh, isn't this woman the hunter who did a promotion mission some time ago and then disappeared?"

"I heard that the Hunters' Guild also sent people to search for her whereabouts, but they couldn't find her, and she has been designated as a missing person......

"Does that mean this woman has been in the hunting grounds alone with an Ailu cat for nine days?"

"That's really an amazing skill, you have to know how all kinds of monsters appear in the hunting ground at night, and you can still survive......"

Hearing these people's discussions, Wen Long also blew his beard disdainfully, and then thought, "Hmph, that's not the credit of Uncle Ben?" And you rookie hunters can't even handle the beaver beast and the blue speed dragon king, so you can only fight the lone blue speed dragon and the big wild boar, of course, you don't dare to spend the night in the hunting ground...... Meow. ”

"As for the Hunter Guild's side, I'm really a little embarrassed, because I didn't go back to Milad Village but ran from the Hermit's Forest to Xiaofeng Valley, so it's also troublesome for others to let the Hunter Guild send people to rescue and search...... It's just that these are all search funds based on the deposit left when I took over the mission, which means that the funds needed for the rescue are paid by myself in advance, so it's not too capricious to think about it...... Meow. ”

In this way, when Wenlong and Catherine swaggered back to Milard Village, they had already attracted the attention of quite a few villagers. And there are even some of them that make Wenlong feel unfriendly eyes.

"Sure enough, as soon as I returned to Milad Village, I was targeted......

Realizing this, Wen Long began to change his route and walked towards the side alley.

"Huh? Mr. Cat...... It seems that going to find Uncle Hewson, who is doing business, is it going this way? Seeing Wenlong suddenly change direction, Catherine asked a little strangely.

"Stupid woman, just come along, Uncle Ben, now I just want to take a long detour...... Meow. ”

Hearing Wen Long say this, Catherine had no choice but to follow.

However, not long after Wen Long and Catherine entered the alley, Wen Long sensed that someone else had come in with him.

"Sure enough, some nasty guys are following suit...... Looks like those people are right......"

Because it's a small alley where there are usually no people, it's also the best place to ambush each other. Even if there are some fights, it will not be easy to be discovered.

Based on this inference, Wenlong basically determined the identity of the other party.

"It must be the white-haired kid and his idiot master...... As soon as they came back, they sent people to keep an eye on us, were they going to wait until no one was there to sneak up on us? If that's the case, let's get rid of it sooner......"

It was with this idea in mind that Wen Long chose to take a secluded alley that he would not usually walk at all, with the purpose of course to lure the other party into the bait as soon as possible. Because in Wenlong's view, the sooner troublesome things are resolved, the better.

Sure enough, just when he walked to no man's land, three masked men with weapons appeared in front of Wen Long, and at the same moment, three unknown men with the same masks appeared behind Wen Long, and this combination just blocked Wen Long and Catherine in the middle of the alley.

Moreover, looking at the weapons of these people, Wen Long, who was extremely familiar with all kinds of weapons and equipment, immediately distinguished that these weapons were obviously not used by ordinary gangsters, but hunters' weapons! Among them, there are those with double swords, those with swords and round shields, and even those with light ballistas! It can be said that it is a lineup that has been prepared for far, near, and output.

"Six people...... Is it? After carefully discerning the surrounding aura, he didn't find any other ambushes, so Wen Long made this judgment, "These six people are all masked men with hunter weapons, so it's even more certain that Bai Mao and that guy named Levi did it......"

"Mr. Cat, what should I do? We seem to be blocked......" Catherine said with some nervousness.

"What are you afraid of, there is Uncle Ben! Meow! As he spoke, Wen Long pulled out the double knives on his back.

One of the main reasons why Wen Long didn't do this when he met Bai Mao and Levi last time was because Catherine's strength was too weak at that time, and Wen Long didn't do it because he was afraid of taking care of Catherine's safety.

But now it's different, Wen Long is sure that even if Catherine doesn't have any experience in fighting with people, with the skills and reaction speed that she has cultivated during this period of hunting, coupled with her unconventional brute strength, there is no problem in self-preservation. And as long as Catherine can protect herself, the rest of Wenlong is confident that she will solve it all by herself.
