It was afternoon, the sun was shining, and the dry air, which was almost completely devoid of moisture, was scorching the skin.

If it weren't for the cold drinks, even hunters with excellent physique would quickly suffer from heat stroke.

"There's nothing in there." Gordon wiped the sweat from his forehead and grunted out of a ruined building with no roof.

In his hand, he also held a sharp iron hammer more than a meter long and the thickness of a finger.

It was borrowed from an archaeologist before the departure, and poking around, you may find some hidden basements, or compartments.

"Whew-" Gale cried aggrievedly.

It's dying of heat, and its fluffy fur has an excellent thermal insulation effect, which is naturally comfortable in the ice and snow, and under the scorching desert sun.....

"Why don't you shave your hair for meow?"

"Wang!" Gale shook his head in refusal, sticking out his tongue and panting to dissipate heat.

Anhill, who was in charge of guarding, jumped from the ruins of a building, "Still not found?" ”

"Hmm."

The hunters found a building with a half-roof that could block the sunlight and get into it for a short rest.

"The only information we have been able to get so far is that these complexes were probably residential at the time, and that the ruins are certainly not from the ancient era," Gordon said. ”

"How so? Did you find any traces of life? Anhill asked.

"Not really, just found some remnants of equipment."

Gordon crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, still sliding between his fingers, leaving only a few pieces of rotten wood the size of a grain of wheat in his palm.

"Sawdust, I guess it's rotten furniture, some broken pottery, badly rusted cutlery or something."

Anhill nodded.

As for Gordon's judgment on the age of the ruins, he didn't even ask.

This is too easy to define, as long as you compare the completeness of the ancient ruins and the Lingfeng ruins.

To build an ancient civilization, the technology in all aspects is certainly far less developed than that of the ancient civilization.

Throwing away the sawdust, Gordon patted the dust off his hands, "Eat and rest, and when the sun goes down a little, we'll continue to explore a little bit." ”

"Wang?!"

The gale that had been lying on his stomach a second ago suddenly raised his head.

Its anomalous behavior surprised Gordon and Anhill.

The tooth hound's sense of smell and hearing is even more sensitive than that of Elu, and it is likely that the gale has noticed something abnormal.

Gordon immediately stood up, and Anhill jumped directly onto the saddle on Gale's back, "Go, take me to see!" ”

"Wang!"

The gale scraped the ground on all fours, turned into an afterimage, and rushed out.

Gordon and Pork Chop followed.

Naturally, their speed could not catch up with the gale, but they did not lose it at short distances.

The gale carried Anhill through the ruins, leaping over the slightly lower walls and soon coming to a domed building that was at least inconspicuous from the outside.

Anhill jumped off the back of the gale, and the fierce moment [Time Rain] instantly unfolded, and the muzzle of the cannon pointed at the only entrance and exit of the building, but he did not enter immediately.

Less than a minute later, Gordon arrived with the pork chop.

The two briefly communicated with tactical gestures, and Gordon pulled out the epitaph greatsword, put the sword in the appropriate position, lowered his center of gravity, and slowly walked towards the domed building step by step.

Anhill squatted and mounted his crossbow, loaded and ready to fire at any time.

Gordon was on guard, and although he didn't feel any danger from the building, he still didn't dare to let his guard down.

Stopping outside the building's doorway and glancing inward, finding nothing, Gordon frowned.

threw a flashbang into it, and after the strong light exploded, he suddenly accelerated and rushed straight in.

The gaze quickly swept over the corners of the walls, rooftops, and corners where monsters might be hiding outside the door.

Still didn't find anything.

Gordon made a "safe" gesture, Anhill, and the pork chops walked in one after another.

The interior of the building, which has a space of about forty or fifty square meters, is empty and empty.

The urgency and tension before them seemed to be a burlesque.

The corners of Anhill's mouth twitched, he tugged at Gale's cheeks, but he didn't say much, mistakes are always inevitable, not a big deal.

"Whew-"

Gale whimpered aggrievedly.

It lowered its head and sniffed carefully, eventually reaching a corner and scratching the ground.

"Meow?"

The pork chop that felt that something was wrong leaned over, helped them pick it up twice, and suddenly turned around and said: "There's something wrong with meow, the ground here seems to have been gouged open, and something may have gotten into it not long ago."

It's just that the indoor is also sandy, and it's too dry to meow, and the pits will be buried by quicksand, so you can't see too many traces of meow. ”

"Did you really find anything?" Gordon looked at the gale in surprise.

"Wow!"

"Yes, yes, I wronged you." Anhill rubbed Gale's head and shoved a piece of jerky into its mouth as encouragement.

"Do you want to chase and dig down now?" Pork Chop asked, looking at Gordon.

Gordon thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You don't have to, you are the only one who can dig and track here, and the underground is not your home field, so there is no need to take this risk."

My idea is to stay away from here for a while, and to observe, maybe I can crouch down on something. ”

"I agree."

Anhill folded and put away the murderous moment [Shi Yu], "This is just an exploration mission, there is no need to take risks, and there is no need to risk your life." ”

"Okay meow......"

With a decision, the hunters and his party withdrew from the dome building, and found a high-rise building with a wide field of vision and suitable for concealment a hundred meters away, hiding in and surveillance.

Active exploration or passive crouching, it's hard to say which way is better.

After searching for most of the day and finding nothing, they finally encountered some suspicious clues, and Gordon was naturally unwilling to let them go easily.

Wait until the sun sets.

"What's the matter, keep guarding, or go back to the camp on the other side of the wall?"

"Keep going."

Gordon didn't hesitate at all, he chewed a piece of food, and said, "In the desert area, there are many nocturnal creatures, maybe those things with unknown bodies like to haunt at night?"

Let's wait, at least until the sun is fully up, and then consider going back to camp to rest. ”

"Okay, then we have to arrange a rotation guard, don't fall asleep in the middle of the night." Anhill agreed.

Gordon thought for a moment, "I'll keep the first shift, until midnight, in the second half of the night, the pork chop and the gale guard, they both have better night vision, and from early morning to morning Anhill you come." ”

"Good meow."

"Wang!"

"I'm fine."

Desert at night, the temperature plummets.

During the day, you have to drink cold drinks to relieve the heat, and at night, you have to build a campfire or take a hot drink to maintain your body temperature.

Right now, they are lurking and crouching, and it is impossible to make a fire, but fortunately, hot drinks have been prepared.

When the moon rises in the middle of the sky.

Gordon took another bottle of hot drink, and as the spicy liquid was poured in, a stream of heat spread out from his abdomen, and Gordon let out a cold breath, and his slightly stiff limbs were much more alive.

"Gordon Meow, it's time for a shift change." The voice of pork chop was muffled from behind him.

Gordon subconsciously turned around and saw two pairs of glowing children's holes, one with cat eyes and one with dog eyes, which were slightly scary.

As soon as the gale sounded, the "Wang ......" gale was pinched by the pork chop.

"Quiet Meow!"

At that moment, a golden shadow flashed from near the domed building they were watching.
