Chapter 58: Wetness

Nearly an hour passed, and the weather never cleared, but Gordon's mood became quite good, and in his eyes, even the gloomy sky seemed to be a little cute.

Finally learned how to move fast in this muddy field!

However, compared to him, the mood of Osura, who led the way, was so beautiful.

The Huntress found it difficult to distance herself from Gordon, and of course, she could run faster with less weight, but it would also take more stamina and not be worth it.

I'm not here for cross-country racing......

For Gordon's ability to learn, Ozura felt sincere envy.

She knew that, unlike hunters like her, who had participated in the full training of the training camp, Gordon was the kind of traditional hunter who was trained in the form of a master and apprentice.

In many cases, as long as the master is reliable enough, the traditional school can learn deeper experience and knowledge, but when it comes to comprehensiveness, it is definitely the training camp school that has the advantage.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but Gordon can quickly make up for his shortcomings by learning.

Take the footwork he just "stole to learn" as an example.

This set of footwork was taught to her by an instructor who was good at wet warfare, and it was not difficult to learn, but it took her several hours to master it under the latter's guidance.

How can he be like Gordon, imitate and practice at the same time, and it didn't take long to learn to be decent.

It's no wonder that this guy can be promoted to two stars at such a young age, and if he is given another year or two, maybe he should catch up with himself and be promoted to three stars, right?

The two of them had their own thoughts, but their pace did not slow down.

Gordon noticed that the terrain beneath them was gradually rising, and unlike the steeply angled slopes of the hilly terrain, the slopes were gentle.

Only by looking back and comparing the road from which you came can you notice the increase in height.

However, this small difference in height makes the water in this area gradually decrease, the soil becomes solidified, and the environment is more suitable for woody plants.

"Doesn't it feel a bit like the jungle over there?" Osura's pace slowed and he smiled and turned back.

Even hunters with strong physical fitness can be tired from running around for a long time in full gear, and they need a short rest before they actually enter the dense forest.

Gordon slowly stopped, took two deep breaths, and nodded, "It's a little, but I don't think the vegetation is quite different." ”

"That's right."

Oshura re-tied her hair and said in a slightly calm tone: "The forest belt here belongs to the rainforest, and there are more ferns, vines and broad-leaved plants than there are in the Metabe and Shuret Mountains, so you have to be careful of snakes and parasites."

I know you're at home in the woods and forests, but this is a new territory, so don't let up. ”

"I see, Osura-senpai." Gordon should be.

"What's the state of the pork chop! ~”

When faced with the pork chop, Oshura's voice became bold and bright again.

The pork chop once again shook off the water droplets on his body, raised the ore cat pickaxe in his hand, and responded loudly, "It's no problem meow!" ”

"Eat something, and when you've had your fill, we'll go into the woods." With that, Ozura took out a piece of food and gnawed hard.

Gordon and Pork Chop also took food out of their bags.

Due to the continuous rain, the oil paper wrapped outside the food has been soaked by the rain, and the food inside is also a little damp, but fortunately it does not affect the food, but the taste becomes more chewy.

It's the same with the dried fish of the pork chop, but it doesn't care about it because it grew up in the wild, and its little paws hold the dried fish that is whirring and whirring, and gnaw fast.

In just over two minutes, they finished eating, and after a few mouthfuls of water, their full bellies were enough for them to cope with most of the day.

"About a kilometer from the edge of the forest belt, there is a low rocky mountain, and there are some small caves eroded by wind and rain, which is the best nest for the peach fur beast tribe.

The ground around the rocky mountain is relatively hard, and the vegetation is relatively small, so if we encounter the Peach Fur Beastmaster, we will try to fight there, and the lush rainforest is not suitable for me to play. ”

Filling her stomach, Oshura crouched down and used her fingers to draw a sketch of the nearby terrain on the ground.

"Okay."

Gordon agreed with Osura's judgment, but out of curiosity, he still asked the question in his heart, "Osura-senpai, have you hunted the Peach Fur Beastmaster near that rocky mountain before?" ”

"yes, three or four months ago, what's wrong?"

"After the death of a peach-haired beast king, the peach-haired beast group should not be able to raise another one in such a short period of time, right?"

Gordon was a little worried that they would pounce.

Ozura smiled and said, "Then you are underestimating the cruel ecology in the wetlands, after the loss of the leader of the peach fur beast tribe at that time, it was impossible to occupy that nesting treasure land for a long time."

Nearby peach-fur beasts will come to take over the territory, and some of the local peach-fur beasts will be killed or exiled, while others will be absorbed into new groups to form larger groups.

All in all, as long as there is a group of peach fur beasts in the vicinity, it is basically certain that the peach fur beast king is also nearby. ”

"Well, it would be nice if we could find our target, so let's go now?"

"Walking, walking!"

Gordon nodded, and led the way into the rainforest.

As a swordsman, it is a matter of course to lead the way in front.

As Oshura said, this rainforest seems to be similar to the mountain forest on the other side of Shuret, the same dense, the same full of green, but in fact the difference is not small.

He needs to spend more energy on being alert to his surroundings and avoiding attacks from poisonous snakes and other creatures, so his speed is not fast.

The lush and wide foliage kept out the rain for them, but the high humidity of the air made Gordon feel as if he was soaking in the water all the time, stuffy and hot.

Suddenly, Gordon noticed something, and he raised his fist as he stopped, and Osura, who was not far behind him, immediately stood on guard.

It was a forest of bamboos, countless thigh-thick bamboos pointing straight to the sky, and Gordon noticed something strange beside a few of themβ€”the ground by the roots of the bamboos had clearly been moved, and there were traces of a large number of beastly claws churning the earth.

Gordon crouched down and examined it carefully, and found that the marks were still relatively fresh.

Oshura also came over, she glanced at it, and said with great confidence: "This is the paw print of the peach fur beast, it should be the traces left when I came here to dig bamboo shoots to eat."

This bamboo is very resistant to moisture, and there are many of them in the nearby forests, and its young bamboo shoots are also a favorite staple food of peach fur beasts, as are mushrooms. ”

"Foraging, in this way, the peach fur beast group will not be too far from here."

"Well, these pink gorillas like to move in groups, once they encounter at least two or three, we can get rid of some of them first, and when they fight with the Peach Fur Beastmaster, they will run out and make trouble."

Asura's statement may seem cruel to some, but Gordon, who is also a hunter, understands that they have no room to sympathize with monsters in the perilous wilderness.

"Let's follow the trail and see."
