Even though you are flying for a while and resting for a while, it can still be tiring after a long journey.

Especially Hertha.

After coming to the New World, she has also been to the wild many times, but the improvement of physical fitness is not so quick to pull up in a month or two.

Not to mention that it is on a par with hunters, there is also a big gap compared to those mature investigators.

The left arm joint used to hang the hook lock is painful, which is a symptom of muscle strain.

However, Hertha didn't even notice this, her attention was completely drawn to the magical desert in front of her, which was completely different from any part of the Old World.

There was no expected scene of yellow sand and sand dunes everywhere.

Countless strange-shaped wind-eroded boulders, as well as those tower-like ant mounds that can be seen everywhere, are the absolute protagonists of this wasteland.

It's hard to imagine how much effort and patience it takes to build these giant mounds like small hills in the wasteland, which are no more than the size of human palms.

As the crowd flew over a long, narrow canyon that winded between huge rock platforms, a signal came from Mr. Monroe's side.

The pterosaurs began to land, eventually landing on the edge of the nondescript canyon.

After giving the pterosaurs a signal to rest and hunt on their own, Monroe beckoned to the crowd.

"Follow me."

Gordon and the others followed Monroe into battle, and then saw him climbing a clump of dry land vines and descending into the small canyon less than ten meters deep.

Herta had an accident while climbing the vine, and her left arm was a little out of force and strained, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Hayatta beside her reached out in time to help her, so as to avoid the fall.

"I'm sorry, I'm holding back, thank you for your help." There was no danger, and Hertha, who went down to the small canyon, thanked Hayatta with some shame.

"Don't care." Hayatta smiled and waved her hand, and then said to Pork Chop: "Pork Chop, help Herta check when you get to the camp, she may have strained." ”

"Good meow."

"The camp will be there soon." Mr. Monroe straightened his bag, which was bigger than his entire body, turned around and said, "It's right ahead." ”

At this time, the sun was at its strongest in the afternoon, and everyone who was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes couldn't help but speed up their pace.

It was a small stone cave in the rock wall of the canyon, and it was quite hidden, and there were vines hanging down from the mouth of the cave to climb into.

Several people entered the cave one after another, and inside was a large grotto, and the top of the grotto was not completely closed, so that the interior was cool and had good lighting.

In the depths of the cave, there is a clear pool, and the fluctuating water proves that it is still alive.

"This is the central camp of the Great Ant Grave Wasteland, and although it is still a little far from the place where the attack took place, it is already the closest camp.

When the members of the investigation team came to the Great Ant Mound, they would often come to this camp to rest and rest.

There is also a camp in the southwest forest belt, which is the closest to the star stronghold. Monroe unloaded the huge backpack behind him and briefly introduced it to the crowd.

Gordon and the others also unloaded dry food and other supplies and stored them in storage boxes in the camp.

"It's already afternoon, and it's a little hasty to rush to the scene of the incident, so how about having a good rest today and officially launching the operation tomorrow?" Sophisticated orc scholars consulted everyone.

"Of course." Gordon pinched his chin, "When I landed before, I saw an oasis nearby, and I went to see if I could get some prey and come back." ”

Monroe nodded, "I'll go with you, there will be the occasional Detter of the Wasteland Guardians around here."

If you're lucky enough to run into them, you might be able to find out a little bit about the odd-faced people. ”

"Then I'll stay in the camp." Hayatta said with a smile.

Hertha pursed her lips, she knew that Hayatta had stayed to take care of her.

This made her feel even more like a burden.

After Gordon and Monroe left, Pork Chop asked Hertha to take off her coat and examine her left arm like a medical professional, "Meow strained, it's good that it's not a serious meow."

Don't make any more efforts today, drink some recovery medicine, eat something nutritious at night, sleep well, and get up tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you."

Xianglan, who was waiting on the side, was like a violent nurse, and put the recovery medicine bottle into Hertha's mouth, "Drink the medicine!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough" Hertha, who was almost choked, coughed.

Hayatta walked over with a smile, tugged at Xianglan's cheeks, and then helped Hertha, who was unable to move his left arm, put on his coat.

"Gordon should come back with a lot of meat later, should he lie down in the tent for a while?"

"You don't have to take care of me so much." Hertha, who had a lot of self-esteem, smiled bitterly.

She stared at her slender arm, which had no muscles, and then looked at Hayatta, "Is there any way to grow muscles quickly?" ”

"Huh?"

In the evening, Gordon and Monroe returned.

They brought back a fat elven deer, as well as many tender cacti that could be eaten.

Hayatta and the others also lit a campfire early, and even set up a barbecue grill.

"Are you so sure we'll come back with meat?" Gordon unloaded the elven deer by the waterhole and asked as he skinned and cleaned it.

Hayatta rolled her eyes, "If you can't find a suitable prey, you'll have to unload its tail and drag it back when you pass by." ”

"Hey, hey."

Gordon smiled and threw the intractable entrails into the pool, which was a living water, and there were many fish, and the entrails were snatched up not long after they fell into the water.

"There are a lot of fish, but you didn't catch a few?" Gordon's remark is about pork chops.

"Caught a meow." The pork chop licked its paws, "but it has already been eaten by a certain pig meow." ”

"You're the meow!"

Pork Chop and Pandan quarreled again, and the whole cave camp was in a commotion.

Halfata smiled as she fixed the processed elven deer on the grill, and a smile appeared on Hertha's face, who was a little depressed.

Everyone gathered around the campfire, roasting and eating, and the aroma of the oil volatilized by the heat wafted away.

An elven deer weighing dozens of kilograms was eaten cleanly by four people and two cats.

Gordon and the others, who were well-fed and drunk, wanted to go out for a walk, and it was said that the night view of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland was unexpectedly beautiful, but considering that they had something to do tomorrow, they went to bed early.

They'll be at least in the Great Ant Grave Wasteland for a few days, and there's still a chance.

And so it was late at night.

A sneaky figure quietly burrowed into this silent camp.

It was not tall, less than a meter, with a slumped body, but its limbs were very similar to those of a human, and it wore a large mask on its head that was half the size of its body.

It's a Strange Face.

Unlike its close relatives in the Old World, its skin is a bright red color, and it doesn't look as thin as the Odd-Faced people in the wild of the Old World, or even a little chubby.

It slid around Gordon, who was lying on the ground, motionless, to the greatsword with the golden inscription that lay flat on the weapon rack.

"Gabamma The Strange-Faced Clan cheered in a low voice.

Stretching out his hands, he wanted to lift the inscription sword, but the sword did not move.

"Gaha?" The Odd-Faced Clan moved his lower limbs, holding the hilt of the inscription's greatsword with both hands, and lifted it up desperately.

It took a lot of effort to finally be lifted by it.

But before it could be happy, a sneer came from behind it.

"Oh ho."

Strangeface stiffened and turned away.

Two hunters, along with two glowing eyes of Elu, were surrounding him, staring at him.

"Hehehehehe. The clue is sent to the door. ”
