"In fact, the reason why those people have been attacked but have not yet discovered the enemy is probably not because the enemy is good at hiding, but because the enemy is good at long-range attacks, so people mistakenly think that the other party will be good at concealment...... Meow. Wenlong said.

"Attack from a distance?" Catherine remembered that the so-called long-range attacks had only been seen by the beaver beast's ability to throw dirt, so Catherine did not understand how far it would take to defeat a hunter without being detected.

"Well, to put it simply, the other party has been able to attack it before they have time to see it...... It may sound incredible, but there are some monsters that can do it. ”

Wen Long said this while carefully observing the surrounding situation, not daring to relax in the slightest.

The reason why Wen Long is so cautious is because according to the sighting reports of the previous survivors, Wen Long and Catherine have already entered the sighting area of the mysterious creature at this time. If the monster that needs to be investigated is still here, it means that it could be attacked by the enemy at any time, so you must be vigilant.

The second reason is that because the specific location of the monster is not known for the time being, Wenlong hopes to find some useful clues by observing the surrounding situation.

"As long as this monster is still in this forest, then it will definitely leave traces, it has not rained in the past few days, and the footprints and other traces in this valley should be relatively intact, but why have you walked for so long and not found a single clue?"

However, just when Wen Long felt a little confused, he suddenly heard Catherine scream.

"Ah, Mr. Cat, look here!"

"What's wrong? Fuss...... Meow. ”

Wen Long walked over to take a look, but what he saw was not the traces left by the monster, but a series of human footprints.

"Footprints?" When he saw the ten footprints, Wen Long was stunned for a moment, and then said, "There have been many injuries recently, resulting in an area that has been determined by the Hunters Guild to be inaccessible to non-mission pickers...... And in the case of the warning, no one else should come, so the footprints can most likely be the guy named Claude...... Meow. ”

"Mr. Cat, since the other party is also here, will the other party discover the monster this time before us?" Catherine said worriedly.

"It's possible," Wen Long said casually, "Although I have basically determined the true identity of the other party, when it comes to some eyewitness information, that person named Claude may know more details than me, after all, the Hunters Guild specially sent to investigate, Meow." ”

"Eh, Mr. Cat, isn't our mission going to fail? The other party finds the prey before us! Catherine became anxious and raised her voice a few points.

"What's the hurry? Wouldn't it be better for the other party to find out first? It's just the right thing to help us get the attention of monsters. And even if the other party finds the prey, it doesn't mean that they can win this victory, after all, they still need to obtain evidence that can prove their discovery, otherwise it's just empty words, who knows if your investigation results are true, right? Meow? ”

Although Wen Long explained this to Catherine, Wen Long was actually a little anxious in his heart.

Originally, with Wen Long's understanding of the prey, he had basically determined the location where the mysterious monster was most likely to be, so the route Wen Long chose now was the route that was most likely to encounter the mysterious monster, and it was also one of the capitals that Wen Long thought he could surpass the other party.

After all, Xiaofeng Valley is so big, if it can be on the right path from the beginning, then it will undoubtedly take the lead in this bet.

However, now Wen Long found that the hunter named Claude was also traveling on this route, and he was also ahead of him, which undoubtedly gave Wen Long a new understanding of the other party's strength.

"Could it be that Claude also knows something about the habits of the target this time? He is as knowledgeable as Uncle Ben? No, it shouldn't be possible, otherwise it would have been so long, and the identity of this mysterious monster should have been investigated a long time ago......"

With such doubts, Wen Long glanced around, but this time he found that there was a series of human footprints not far away.

Wen Long was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "Two people? And judging from the size and depth of the footprints, it should be a woman, and because she didn't carry hunting equipment, her body was relatively light, and the footprints left behind were relatively shallow, so it was certain that this person was not a hunter. ”

Seeing this, Wen Long also understood in his heart, "I see, I found a helper, I guess I found a certain bachelor Wang Li who specializes in rare monsters, otherwise how can I know how to take this road like me?" ”

Thinking of this, Wenlong also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

The current Wenlong doesn't know how much the other party knows about the target, if the other party also has the same knowledge as himself, then Claude, who is walking in front of him, is indeed more likely to investigate the identity of the monster first.

"Oh no, we can't wait any longer, and since there are people in front of us to find the way, there is no need for us to move forward so cautiously, it is better to speed up and catch up with the other party as soon as possible is the most correct choice."

Thinking of this, Wen Long immediately said loudly to Catherine: "Woman, hurry, we have to speed up!" Meow! ”

While saying this, Wen Long chased after him first......

As Wen Long expected, walking in front of Wen Long and Catherine were Claude with twin knives on his back and a young woman wearing glasses.

The young woman with the eyes was Lindis, known as the knowledgeable royal scholar, and she held in her hand an old notebook, and the dense text on it was all copied from the royal library.

Along the way, Lindis carefully observed her surroundings, and from time to time compared with the records in her notebook, and then kept pointing out the direction to Claude.

"Is it really this one?" Claude asked, a little impatiently.

"That's right...... Lyndis nudged the glasses she was wearing, but replied not very confidently.

"Should? Isn't that for sure? Although Claude was a little dissatisfied with Lindis's answer, it was difficult to express it, so he could only continue to bury it in his heart.

After all, four hours have passed since he entered the danger zone, but Claude still has found nothing, which makes Claude a little impatient, and his original trust in Lindis is gradually decreasing.

"I've been walking for so long, let alone a monster, I haven't even seen a monster's hair, is it going to be useless this time?"

Although Claude had not found out the true face of this mysterious monster in the previous investigations, this time Claude did not want to wait any longer. After all, if it doesn't succeed this time, then it is very likely to mean that the opportunity to get Wenlong, the Ailu cat, will be lost.

Coupled with the fact that Lindis, who is a bachelor of Wang Li, has been walking slowly along the way, which makes Claude even more unhappy.

"This woman walks too slowly, after all, she sits in the library every day and studies materials, and the walking speed in the wild is unbearable...... If it goes on like this, it won't let that woman and Wenlong catch up, right? ”
