Chapter 931: Pickled Melon
Rested for the night at the treetop camp of the Fish Basket Clan.
On the second day, hunters plan to launch an investigation into the mysterious monster suspected of being a Tyrannosaurus.
Monroe, an orc scholar, was left behind in Detre's camp by them.
Regardless of whether the target is a dinosaur or not, monsters that can hunt and eat brute-jawed dragons are extremely dangerous, and in the next investigation, the old scholar can not help much, so there is no need to let him be in danger.
Monroe was not averse to this arrangement.
He has no interest in large monsters such as dinosaurs, and the ecology and culture of the orcs are the focus of his research.
Seeing that he was chatting happily with the leader of Detel, Fishbone, it seemed that he was still preparing to teach Detel to speak the lingua franca of the Old World.
If the lingua franca could really spread among the orc groups in the New World, it would be easier to communicate with them in the future.
"One last check on equipment and props." Hayatta reminded his friends.
After a quick check-up, the trio and a cat slid down the rope from the top of the tree to the ground.
Just as the hunters were about to set off, a small figure landed beside them.
It's caviar.
Hayatta and the others looked at it in surprise.
The fish roe gestured and meowed a few words.
Xianglan roughly understood, and translated: "It wants to meow with us, and it is familiar with the forest around here." ”
Hayatta hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Xianglan, you take the fish roe forward for two hundred meters, leave a mark all the way, and come back to report when you encounter the situation." ”
"Good meow."
"Meow!"
Eru nodded in unison with Dettle and burrowed into the woods.
Hayatta looked back at his companions, "Column, I'll open the way, Oshura in the center, behind the Azi Palace, the distance can be looser, stay on guard throughout the whole process, and set off." ”
The hunters ran, chasing Ellu as they came out to find their way.
It didn't take long for the hunters to find a lot of marks in the woods.
As the Bones of the leader of Detter said, the monster went on a rampage, and some large trees with trunks more than a meter in diameter were broken, and nine times out of ten it was its masterpiece.
It's a pity that there has been a lot of precipitation recently, and these broken trunks are wet, leaving no smell, and the guide insects can't smell it.
The thick fallen leaves and soft humus soil also do not leave clear footprints, making it difficult to track them in a targeted manner.
After wandering aimlessly through the mysterious monster-infested forest for more than an hour, the hunters still did not make a breakthrough.
But they did not dare to let their guard down in the slightest.
There was always a terrifying and dangerous smell in the air, and the larger animals in the forest were indeed gone.
Although the presence of birds and insects has kept the forest from falling silent, the trees are still lush and green, and everything seems to be full of life.
But they know that the ecosystem around them has been severely damaged.
The original ecosystem was like being gnawed by an invisible giant mouth, and the middle and upper class creatures disappeared completely.
The subsequent impact and chaos will be gradually reflected.
Hayata, who was opening the way ahead, heard some movement, stopped, and raised her fist to signal her companions to stop and be on guard.
The sound of Soso's movement sounded, and the Oshura ballistas were erected, and it turned out that it was two cat's heads that emerged from the bushes.
Xianglan and fish roe, who went out to explore the way, ran back, and they should have made some discovery.
"Found the traces! Come with us! ”
"Meow~!"
Pandan and Fish Roe looked very happy, shouted and turned to lead the way, and the hunters followed, and the group came to a rock wall covered with vines and moss.
Hayatta looked up at the top of the rock wall, and there was a very conspicuous scratch mark eight or nine meters above the ground.
Not to mention the moss attached to the rock layers, even the hard rock itself has been rubbed off a large piece, and there is some mucus that seems to be salivating, and the broken teeth are stuck on the rock wall.
Hayatta narrowed her eyes, she had seen such marks, "It's sure it's a dinosaur, and when a dinosaur grinds its teeth, it leaves such a trace."
The saliva on it hadn't dried, the traces were still fresh, and the guy shouldn't be too far from here. ”
As she spoke, Hayatta raised her hand and unleashed the rope, fastened it to a raised rock, and quickly ascended to the mark, pried off a broken tooth with a stripping knife and placed it in the insect cage.
The smell of broken teeth sticking to corrosive saliva was so strong that the guide insects reacted almost immediately, "whirring" out of the cage, flying in a certain direction, leaving a conspicuous path of light in the air.
Hayatta fell back to the ground and said to the two companions: "Since it is confirmed that it is a dinosaur, there is no need to apply for additional applications, rest in place and prepare for battle." ”
Dinosaurs are monsters that are so damaging to the ecosystem that once their existence is confirmed, teams capable of crusading can hunt at their own discretion.
When the guild receives the news, it will also issue an urgent mission to crusade as soon as possible.
In fact, not only hunters, but also creatures in nature would spontaneously kill the eggs and cubs of the Tyrannosaurus.
In order to survive, the dinosaurs would carefully hide themselves until they were old enough to protect themselves, and because of this, no one has ever seen a baby dinosaur.
How this creature reproduces and grows is still a mystery.
A few people found a place to sit nearby, and Hayatta asked while nibbling on the food, "Dinosaurs are not ordinary opponents, your weapons and ammunition are all suitable, right?" What about the amount of ammunition? ”
Oshura patted the ammo belt on his chest, "The ammo is enough, I remember that the Dinosaurus was the weakest dragon and thunder, and the other attributes are also valid, right?"
It's a pity that I didn't bring dragon slaying bullets, but I brought a lot of flame bombs, usually a lot of bullets and penetrating bullets, and I also brought some armor grenades. ”
She used the Phoenix Immortal Fire Dragon Cannon on this trip, which is an excellent light crossbow made by almost every light crossbow envoy above four stars, and it is very versatile.
Azi turned sideways, showed the blue spear and big shield behind him, and said with a smile: "The thunder shock spear Doris (sea dragon spear) just happens to be a thunderbolt attribute, so you can show your skills!" ”
Oshura couldn't help but complain, "Seeing that you have been carrying this thunder attribute spear, it won't be used to insert fish, right?" ”
"You guessed it!" Azi grinned and said a joke that I don't know if it was a joke or not.
"I use a physical knife, and I fight the same thing." Hayatta also showed off her scythe of the inscription, the strange shape of which aroused a wave of curiosity among the two companions.
The three of them quickly finished eating, and rested in place for half an hour to adjust their condition to the best.
"You're pretty much rested, aren't you?" Hayatta stood up, moving her joints.
"No problem!"
"Energetic!"
"Very well, let's do it."
"Boom! Boom! Knock ——! ”
Hayatta, who was about to shout "go", was interrupted by a heavy footstep from far and near.
Floating in the air, the guide worms that formed the path of light seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, turned into red points of light, and flew back to the guide worm cage in all directions.
"Attracted by the smell of 'food'? There's no need to even track it now. Hayatta calmed his breath and put his hand on the hilt of the scythe of the inscription, "Prepare for battle." ”
Azi bared his teeth, quickly poured a bottle of sclerosing potion, set up a spear and a large shield, and came to the front of the line.
Oshura also pulled the ballista to load, pointing the muzzle of the gun in the direction from which the footsteps were coming from.
"Roaring ——!"
In a terrifying roar filled with endless madness, the pitch-black beast smashed through the trees and burst out of the shadows of the forest.
ps. Dinner, for the occasion
