There was still some time before dark, and in order to find the missing person as much as possible, the team leader immediately led Shao Xuan out to have a look.

"I wonder if they left the cave and went straight to the place where they got water. Cheng said to Shao Xuan.

Although he knew that the missing person had gone to fetch water, Cheng still wanted Caesar to help and make sure.

"Good. Shao Xuan replied.

When he was in the cave, Shao Xuan asked people to bring the items used by the missing people and let Caesar smell them, so Caesar remembered the smell of those three people.

Cheng and Mai each took a dozen people and went out with Shao Xuan.

"We tried to follow those things, hoping to find their nests, but after several waves, we found that their holes were different. Cheng said.

Ballast went to Mai and they helped, one was to borrow Caesar, try to find someone, and it would be better to determine which hole the missing person had been taken to. Second, whether it can be found or not, the loss of three people at once, the current situation is still a bit abnormal, and it is necessary to seek help in advance, and the object of the search is naturally the Mai team closest to the hunting route.

Growth sighed and looked at the wolf walking in the forefront.

Caesar walked ahead of the procession, walking and sniffing.

Some distance after leaving the cave was indeed a direct road to the place where the water was fetched, but, halfway through, Caesar stopped.

After observing Caesar's reaction, Shao Xuan said, "There is a person who walked that way. ”

Cheng looked in the direction Shao Xuan was pointing and shook his head. "There's no cave, no woods, no water, we don't usually go there. ”

"We didn't look closely over there. Ballast said.

Cheng was silent for a few seconds and said, "Let's go to the place where we get water first." "Only one person left halfway through, however, all three are missing. What happened to the other two people who went to the water pick-up point?

The place where their hunting party fetches water is a natural pool, close to the mountainside, not too far from their first stronghold, the cave.

"We usually fetch water here, at least three people at a time, there are no very dangerous beasts on the mountain, even if we encounter them, we can escape along the way, I have come to fetch them several times. However, this time is different. Ballast gestured to the grass beneath his feet.

There are some crushed marks on the grass. It should have been pressed when the missing person fell to the ground, and a lot of grass was directly crooked. There were also knife marks and claw marks on a nearby stone.

The scars were those of the missing warriors, and the claw marks were similar to those of the bats, and larger than those seen before.

If the missing warrior had been captured from the air, it would be no wonder that the hunting party could not find it, because there were no other useful clues on the ground except here.

But. Taken from the air, even Caesar, whose sense of smell is much more sensitive than human. It's also hard to keep looking.

"Go see that. Cheng said with some disappointment.

"Hmm. "That's all it can be.

The crowd turned back and returned to the place where the three men who had previously fetched water had separated, and here, one of the warriors had left. Caesar carefully recognized the smell and led the group away.

At first it was just on the mountainside, and then it went up the mountain.

"I remember. There are a lot of rocks in the area, which is not easy to walk, and we only came to see it once a long time ago. Ballast said.

Cheng looked around and said, "Sometimes there are some mountain antelopes here. ”

"It smells of blood. Ballast said suddenly.

Not only the ballast, but also Mai and others smelled it.

However, the wind here is a bit chaotic. It's not easy to judge accurately for a while.

The people followed Caesar until they reached the rock, where there was the body of a gazelle.

Many of the bite wounds on the antelope's body, looking at the marks, were caused by those big bats. There was blood on the ground, but not much, and most of the blood was sucked by the bats.

If they hadn't followed Caesar, it would have been difficult for the hunting party to find this place, after all, they rarely came before, let alone thought that the people who fetched water would come here.

"He must have heard the movement, so he chased after him. Ballast said.

The person who tracked it down was the strongest of the three people who took water, and probably he didn't expect that in this place on the mountain, he would encounter those bats that were chasing prey, and he also folded into it, and he couldn't see anyone alive or dead.

"The food that has been eaten will not be taken away again, and the things that have been taken away have not been eaten for the time being. Mai said.

It's better to be missing than to find a body, or at least to be alive.

Everyone turned their eyes to Caesar, only to see Caesar sniffing on the ground nearby, and then walked a distance in one direction, sniffing again in place, and looking at Shao Xuan.

"Look at what Caesar has discovered. Shao Xuan said.

"Something on the ground?"

Ballast walked over quickly, his fingers touched the ground in front of Caesar, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, his brows furrowed, it did smell a little, "What is this smell?"

"Probably, those things...... Urine. Shao Xuan said his guess.

"Their urine?"

"Well, eat too much of those things, drain more water, so that the body can be lighter, and it will be easier to fly. Shao Xuan said.

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Mai Hecheng and several others nodded, feeling that it made sense to say so.

With such a clue, everyone was shocked and continued to follow Caesar.

Walking out of this large rocky area, there are not many trees around, and after walking a little further, I am close to the place where the water is fetched, but I do not pass, but continue to move forward.

"That stuff peeing all the way?" asked Ballast.

"Probably all along the road, but ...... There's a human smell in it, too. Shao Xuan said according to Caesar's reaction.

"What do you mean?" Cheng looked at Shao Xuan.

In other words, the person who was arrested may have been urinated. Shao Xuan said.

They were urinated, and the warriors who fetched the water were dressed in furry animal skin clothes, which could suck up some water and drip down the road.

That warrior was really unlucky, he got out of the hole to get some water, and was caught by a bat. I was also urinated. However, it is precisely because of this that continuous clues can be left.

The crowd followed Caesar and walked all the way up the mountain, sometimes the smell was interrupted in the middle, and they had to expand the search area.

Look at the sky. Mai was a little worried, "If we continue to search, we may not be able to go back before dark." It is also not known if there are caves around. ”

"We rarely come here before, but there are quite a few holes in those things, and we have followed them to find quite a few caves, which are on this mountain. Cheng said.

"Where are their holes?" asked Shao Xuan.

Cheng raised his hand and pointed in a few directions, "Those places are not on our hunting route, and many places are unfamiliar. ”

Caesar had stopped, and the smell had ceased again. This time it may really not be possible to continue.

"What should I do?" he looked around, it was a hill that wasn't very high, there were no trees around, and there was only a patch of grass on the ground that wasn't dense.

You can see the surroundings at a glance, and you can't see anything unusual.

Shao Xuan stood there, he felt that the totem in his mind was a little active, looking at the others, it didn't seem to be like this.

Look closely at the direction of the flames on the totem. Shao Xuan looked over there, and that was the top of the mountain. Because it's not high, there's no snow, just a meadow.

Shao Xuan raised his feet and walked over there, and when Mai and the others saw this, they thought that Shao Xuan had judged the direction according to Caesar's table, so they walked over together.

Getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. The totem in Shao Xuan's mind became more and more active. In addition, Shao Xuan also heard some sounds, like the sound of rapid flow of air, similar to the amplified exhalation.

"Uncle Mai, did you hear anything?" asked Shao Xuan.

"No...... No. It seems to have heard it, it was the cry of those things, but it was not very clear, and it should be too far away. Mai said.

"I heard it too. Cheng quickened his pace and ran towards the top of the mountain.

Shao Xuan frowned, no, no, what he heard was not the call of a bat.

Cheng, who ran to the top of the mountain one step ahead of everyone, suddenly stood there, motionless, as if he had seen something terrible.

"What did you find?" Mai and the others also quickened their pace and ran over, and a few ups and downs stood on the top of the mountain.

Like Cheng, the others froze.

In front of them, there was a large crater with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a depth of more than 80 meters.

The inner walls of the pit are not as barren as the rest of the mountaintop, and the inside is like another world.

Thigh-thick vines twined and stretched downward, huge umbrella-like blades spreading. The inner walls of the pit are also overgrown with various plants, some of which are even flowering and bearing fruit.

"This is ......"

They had never been to this side, and Cheng didn't know that there was such a big pit here, and when they were chasing those things, they had never walked to the top of the mountain.

Shao Xuan stood on the edge and looked down, it was still bright and the light was sufficient, and he could see the situation at the bottom of the pit. However, there are far fewer plants at the bottom of the pit than on the inner wall of the pit, and there are only some grasses of unknown kinds, which are monotonously distributed there.

The totem in his mind was unusually active, and the flames around the horns were whirring.

Below, there's something intriguing.

"There are several precious herbs down there, some of which I have only seen on the hides of the witch. Shao Xuan said.

Mai Hecheng glanced at each other and said, "Let's go down and have a look first, and you guys will see the situation later." ”

Mai Hezhen, Cheng and a few others went down the vine to see if there was any danger in the pit and probed the situation.

As Shao Xuan said, there were a lot of herbs in this pit that grew well, including the kind of plants they used to resist bat toxins, and there were quite a few of them, which was a surprise for the people of the hunting team.

After a cursory look, Cheng gestured to the people above, signaling that they could come down, but treading carefully, there was still an uncertain danger here.

There are also some burrs on the vines, which are not slippery, which is a good thing for everyone and makes it easier for them to move.

Shao Xuan went down with everyone, leaving only Caesar on top.

There are many medicinal plants around the inner wall of the pit, and everyone first cut off the ones that they knew that could be saved.

Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to the rare medicinal plants around him first, and after landing at the bottom of the pit, he felt that the flames on the totem seemed to be excited.
