On the beach, Alva lit a fire with a sad face.

Cover the fire with some wet leaves or something, and the smoke will rise, and the weather is good today, the wind is very small, and the smoke column can be faintly seen dozens of kilometers away.

As for whether other teams will see it and rush over, it depends on luck.

The four hunting cats and the dark night also set off.

They split into three groups, with the most experienced bones acting alone, and it will cross the largely oval-shaped island until it reaches the other end of the island.

Pandans and owls, pork chops and fire sickles, search along the coastline of the islands separately, and any team that finds it will fire flares to notify each other.

There was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but Xianglan felt that the guy who was separated from it had a bit of a problem with his brain.

It was perceptively aware that the latter's attention was locked on it and barely left.

And then consider the direction of work in the legendary dark night.

I always feel that this guy wants to take advantage of his loneliness to kill himself.

This terrifying conjecture made the fur on the tip of Xianglan's tail explode, and it stopped, jumped back, arched its back and grinned, glaring threateningly at the owl that followed behind it.

"Meow——! What are you going to do? ”

“？” The owl looked at pandan inexplicably.

"Why do you keep staring at the occasional meow!"

"I didn't."

"There's a meow!"

“.” The scene was frozen for a few seconds, and the owl sighed and admitted, "I'm watching and learning from you." ”

"Learn to learn to meow?"

"Communicative operations with hunting cats and searching for monster tracking, these things are things I haven't experienced, and you seem to have a lot of experience, so I'm learning from you."

"Say meow early!" Xianglan stood up, the first time she heard that someone was going to learn from it, Xianglan puffed up her stomach a little happily, "I can teach you meow!" ”

"Thank you."

Xianglan turned around and meowed as she continued to run forward, "The trick of the couple is that smell is the key meow!" As long as you follow the smell of meow, whether it's a trace or a monster meow itself, it's easy to find a meow! ”

The owl glanced at the tip of his nose and wanted to complain about something, but finally habitually spit out, "Understood." ”

Xianglan, who rarely had the opportunity to be a teacher, seemed to be interested, stood up after running for a while, sniffed left and right, "Whenever the wind blows, you have to sniff the meow carefully."

The wind can sometimes bring smells from far away places, and this is also very important. ”

"Understood."

"From time to time, you can hold your breath for a short time to avoid being exposed to a certain smell for a long time, which will cause olfactory paralysis."

"Understood."

The owl has become a answering machine.

She has been following Xianglan's method, because the tips shared by the latter are indeed very practical and dry goods, but unfortunately her sense of smell is not as sharp as that of Ailu.

Another gust of sea breeze hit.

Pandan suddenly stopped and sniffed carefully in the direction of the sea.

The owl did the same, carefully distinguishing the hidden smell in the sea breeze, and actually made some discoveries.

She exclaimed in some surprise, "This, what is this smell?" ”

"It's a meow, it's a bit like the smell of black oil, but it's not the same meow, this smell feels a little familiar meow" Xianglan pouted her ears, "I remembered meow!" It's the sulfur smell of magma! ”

A man and a cat raised their heads, and a few kilometers away on the other side of the sea, another island was in sight.

"There's an active crater on that island?" Pandan asked the owl.

The owl's tone returned to calm, "I don't say anything in the information, but it may be that the vegetation on that island is not very lush from here. ”

"Let's go over there and investigate Meow!"

Pandan put the task behind her, and pointed to the distant island and meowed, "Scholars say that the black oil of the giant halberd dragon has a high proportion of sulfur content, and it should like this kind of volcanic island and other places meow." ”

Feeling that Xianglan's analysis made sense, the owl nodded and prepared to go to the sea.

"What are you doing?!"

"Go to that island."

"You're going to swim over meow?!"

"Yes."

"You have a bag meow in your head?!" Xianglan jumped up and kicked the owl, "Go back to Alva Meow and let him drive us over in an empty boat!" ”

"Understood."

One man and one cat quickly returned to the beach where the airboat had landed.

Alva, the young scribe, was fiddling with the campfire in boredom, pondering what would create a more conspicuous column of smoke if thrown into it.

Seeing Xianglan and the owl running back, he was still a little stunned.

"Take off the airship, take off the airboat meow!" Pandan jumped up, "The island to the south is a volcanic island meow, and I occasionally smell the smell of sulfur, and the giant halberd dragon likes to eat that meow!" ”

Alva was obviously not the kind of person who followed the rules, and immediately jumped up and climbed into the airship to prepare for takeoff.

The owl looked at Xianglan, "Do you need to fire a flare to notify the other two teams?" ”

"Don't meow yet, the puppets are just guessing the meow, and then notify the meow when the exact trace is found."

"Understood."

Small airboats have poor load capacity, poor resistance to extreme weather, and are not too fast, the only advantage is that they are flexible and convenient.

One person can easily maneuver and take off quickly.

The airboat scurried towards the island, which appeared to be a crater, and as we got closer, the smell of sulfur in the air became more pronounced.

Alva maneuvered the airship to lower the altitude, and he glanced at the shrubs on the island that had become dusty, "It seems that there is indeed a crater, it must have just erupted on a small scale in the past few days, and there is still volcanic ash on the plants."

In the case of the crater, it is generally in the center of the island, so do we land here, or do we fly straight over it? ”

"Fly over and meow!" Pandan waved her paw.

One of the two next to him is not a decisive character, and the other habitually obeys orders, and as a result, it becomes a commander.

The airboat kept a height of several hundred meters above the ground, moving slowly, it was easy to find the crater from the air, and it was not long before they found the small volcanic rock mountain pack.

When she was about to pass over the crater, Xianglan suddenly had a spirit, "This, this kind of breath, occasionally has a bad feeling!" ”

Alva knew that trained hunting cats had far sharper perceptions than ordinary people, so he decisively began to climb to height.

The small airboat slowly ascended.

The two of them stared at the location of the crater, and they both had a premonition that something would suddenly rush out of the crater.

But no.

When the airboat came to the crater, they witnessed and confirmed that the crater was empty, the magma was basically extinguished, and there was nothing entrenched in it.

In the face of such a result, they couldn't say for a while whether they were happy or disappointed.

"Wait meow?!" The sharp-eyed pandan suddenly made some new discoveries.

It snatched the telescope from Alva's hand, took a closer look, and then jumped to its feet excitedly.

"Meow at seven o'clock! There is a black oil meow on the mountain near the foot of the mountain, but the color of the ground is black, so I can't see it clearly! It's not in the crater, but it should be around here! ”

The owl tightened the straps of his armor and weapons, "Do you land now and conduct ground reconnaissance?" ”

Xianglan was stunned, shrunk her neck and shook her head seriously, "Forget meow, launch signal flares, and leave the ground reconnaissance work to the pig chops." ”

“.”

Alva looked at the owl.

The owl took a deep breath and made a decision for the first time, "Land." ”

"Meow meow!?"
