"Well, there's no trace of monsters around, right, so we'll be relieved."

Lady Duda smiled and thanked the two hunters, "Come and rest, dinner is ready, it's not a big meal, but it's hot, better than dry food." ”

Dinner was dry bread with stew, a large amount of filling, and an orange per person.

In the ruins of the depths of the desert, it is satisfying to be able to eat such food.

While eating, Gordon said to Lady Duda, "This place has been deserted for decades, and it was too busy with a large number of hunters stationed a while ago, and it is normal that no monsters will come.

However, if you stay here for a long time, sooner or later, the smell of people will attract monsters in the surrounding area, especially small monsters like Huang Sulong, who like to wander.

Anhill and I need to explore the entire ancient fortress deeply, and it is impossible to stay on the side of the walled camp all the time, so it is best to contact the Dragon Calendar and ask them to send some hunters over to act as guards, just in case. ”

Lady Duda's expression became serious, she nodded, thanked him, and hurried away to prepare the letter.

Apparently also a resolute person.

After filling his stomach, Gordon called Anhill, the pork chop, and Gale together.

Discussing things like the exploration process, Gale probably didn't understand, but considering the cultivation of a sense of teamwork, Gordon didn't leave it behind.

If you don't understand, just squat next to Anhill and stick out your tongue.

"Here's the map the lead researcher gave us."

Gordon spread out a dark and yellowed scroll of paper and showed it to everyone, "What he found from the archives left by the archaeological team decades ago, the content should be relatively detailed, that is, ......"

"You just can't see anything, can you?" Anhill replied angrily: "What's the difference between this and no map?" ”

"It looks like I've been dyed with a water meow, and the ink has melted into a meow......"

Gale also sniffed around the poorly preserved map.

"Isn't there a clearer map?" Anhill sighed and grumbled.

Gordon shrugged, "No, I heard that the hunters who were stationed at the ancient city wall before had roughly explored the ruins, but unfortunately they didn't find anything.

At that time, everyone's energy was all about strengthening the walls and preparing for battle, and no one had the leisure to map the ruins. ”

"Yes."

Anhill tugged at Gale's cheeks and pulled it back—the guy was about to eat the map.

"Then again, don't you two think this situation is a little familiar?"

"It's a little meow, Lanlong was like this meow that time, give a simple map, and the rest is all up to yourself." The pork chop scratches its whiskers.

"It's still different."

Gordon smiled and said, "At least this time I wasn't so nervous, judging from the previous appearance of the mechanical beast, that guy wasn't too aggressive, and he didn't move fast."

Even if it encounters it, the problem of a smooth retreat should not be big, and there is no need to confront it.

After all, our goal is only to explore the ruins of the ancient ruins, and if we can find something valuable, it will be considered a victory. ”

"If only it could go so well."

"Why are you so negative?"

"It's necessary to be cautious when you factor in the worst-case scenario."

After a few words between the two, they returned to the topic itself.

"I can't see the details clearly, but I can get a rough idea."

Gordon lightly flattened the fragile map, "I've roughly divided the ruins into several areas.

The first is the outermost wall, which is the outer wall where we are stationed right now, and the flat sandy area outside the wall.

There's nothing to explore in this part, I have already reconnoitred yesterday, and the hunter team that was stationed in the ruins of the ancient stone before, the main area of activity is also here, if there is anything abnormal, it should have been discovered a long time ago.

The only thing worth noting is the sand pit outside the walls, where the mechanical behemoths have infiltrated underground, and I suspect that something else is going on under the sand, or even beneath the entire ancient ruins. ”

"Why do you say that?" Anhill asked.

Gordon looked up and smiled, "A super giant monster the size of the old mountain dragon, after burrowing into the ground, there is not even a bulge on the surface. ”

Anhill's eyes condensed slightly when he heard this, and he continued: "It means that there is probably a considerable space underground. ”

"Yes, I haven't figured out exactly how to get underground, so let's continue to look at the map." Gordon patted the map and continued:

"Inside the walls are a series of buildings that make it feel like it used to be a small city, but it's a bit weird to have a city built directly in a fortress.

This part of the area has complex terrain and many buildings, so you have to be careful when exploring.

After passing through the complex, we will come to the core of the ruins, the castle. ”

Gordon pointed to the nearly circular area in the center of the map, "This castle is relatively well preserved, and it is a fortress in itself.

According to the hunters who were stationed at Guqi before, they had roughly scouted the place, and there was nothing special in the castle, and there were no monsters.

If you want to talk about my thoughts, it may be that it is really nothing, or it may be that they are not careful enough, and then we will explore more carefully inside and out. ”

"Well, the outer city walls, the building complex, the core castle, the three parts, it's like the peel, the pulp, the core, layer by layer.

We'll start with the complex tomorrow, shall we? Anhill concluded.

"That's right, this area is actually the largest, and the terrain is the most complex, and it can take two to three days to explore carefully."

"The terrain is complex and covers a large area......

Anhill thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I plan to pack lightly, a base of ammunition is enough, for other props, you can carry a small amount of flashbang and sonic boom bombs, and you need to bring more food and cold drinks." ”

"Wang?" Gale lifted his head.

Gordon and Pork Chop also had a ghostly expression, glaring at Anhill.

The latter's habit of carrying two base ammunition with him is already considered a "minimum" preparation, and it has never been heard of him carrying only one base ammunition.

"What for?"

Anhill glared back, "I usually carry more ammo just in case, and it's not something I like to carry."

Since the purpose of this time is not to fight, and the monsters at the level of sixty or seventy meters are not something that we can solve through combat, there is naturally no need to carry too much.

When you are ready to retreat due to the unexpected, it can also become a burden. ”

Gordon laughed, "Even if it's for this reason, shouldn't you take it with you three or five cardinal numbers, and discard it on the spot when you really have an emergency and need to retreat quickly?" ”

“...... Makes sense, so be it. ”

"Waste is a shameful meow!"

"Okay, okay, let him be, our eldest young master is not bad at this." Gordon clapped his hands, calling the attention of his companions, "Come, let's discuss where to start the first step of exploration......

......

Early the next morning, the hunters set off early.

The saying that you can bring more ammunition and throw it away at any time is a joke after all, but this time Anhill has done it lightly in the true sense.

On his own body, on the body of the former cow horse Gordon, and now on the body of the cow and horse Gale Wind, there is no obvious external package.

Gale jumped up and down when it walked, and its feet seemed to be loaded with yellow, so easy that it was not used to it.

Seeing that the gale was about to bark excitedly, the pork chop riding on its neck quickly slapped it twice and signaled it to be quiet.

Although this operation to explore the ancient ruins is not as dangerous as when it was scouting Lingfeng before, and it is so hidden, it is always right to keep the movement as small as possible.

Gordon looked left and right, pointed to a half-collapsed house, and said, "Let's start here." ”
