The three cats took a moment to collect a handful of crystal particles, fasten them with a small leather pouch, and then continued to explore deeper into the cavern.

In this kind of light environment where the light is not bright and the field of vision is limited, the most common way to explore is to walk to the end in any direction and then explore by touching the rock wall.

This exploration is less efficient, but it is also the safest.

However, the hunting cats do not need to use this method this time, there is still a slight smell in the air, and it is estimated that the strange face clan will pass by in the next few days.

Their goal is to find the Odd Faces, and it's always right to follow the scent.

The one who led the way was replaced by pandan, who had the sharpest sense of smell and hearing, and it walked cautiously forward, and this time it was the turn of the pork chop and sandstone to think it was slow.

"Hurry up and meow."

"What kind of meow?"

"Noisy meow!" Xianglan turned around angrily and waved her paw a few times, "Be cautious in the unknown environment!" ”

The reason is very reasonable, and the pork chop sandstone can't say anything wrong, but Xianglan's speed has indeed increased a lot, and it hates to be treated like a coward.

They entered a passage and made their way to another cavern.

The cave is semi-open-air, so the sun shines in and is bright.

Pork Chop They found that in this open-air cave, the crystals in the rock formations are much rarer, probably because the energy is dispersed into the air?

The pork chop made Xianglan not rush forward, and the three cats searched the sunlit cave and found a rift that could lead to the outside world.

The rift was relatively wide, and Gordon could get in with his sideways.

So the chop ran out and made a mark on the outside of the crack so that Gordon could get in if they wanted to come in.

After confirming the new entrance, the three cats continued their exploration following the scent.

They entered a sloping passage into a cavern underground.

Perhaps because of the stratigraphic differences or something else that is not clear, the caverns located underground are even lower, and the number of crystals in the rock layers has increased dramatically.

If the glimmer of light in the first cave only allowed the Eru to see the way, here, even humans without shimmering vision can move normally.

Pork Chop hesitated and decided to stop the exploration.

The terrain of the underground caverns is often the most complicated, and it is not known how long it will take to go around, or go back to the camp first, and then come with the hunters tomorrow.

On the way back, they did not follow the same path, but came to the outside world through the rift where they could exit the cave, and then found their way back to the makeshift camp.

The mountain road outside the cave was rugged, and it was originally only about twenty minutes away, but it took almost an hour to detour.

It's no wonder that the Strangeface Clan would dig a hole and make that shortcut.

Just thinking about the Odd Noodles, the pork chop that returned to the camp looked up and saw a Strange Noodles being tied up like a rope, writhing under the watchful eyes of the hunters, and squeaking and screaming in the mouth, as if scolding something.

"Meow meow?!" Seeing the pork chops returning, the hunters, who were looking embarrassed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up, tell it we have no ill intentions!" Gail urged, "It's been arguing for a long time, and it's like we're going to slaughter it." ”

"What, what's going on?" The pork chop is a bit messy.

Why do the odd faces always break into the residence?

Hayatta looked at the struggling Strangeface and explained with some headache, "We went out to check the water source, and when we came back, we found that this Strangeface was rummaging through the supplies we left in the camp. ”

"And before we could say anything, it jumped up first." Gail took over dissatisfied, "Take a stone knife and swing it over there."

The Master of the Wilderness tried to communicate with it with gestures, and it probably thought we were going to attack, and it was going to burrow into the small passage.

We were afraid that it would find a bunch of companions to come back and spread the misunderstanding after it ran away, so we had to catch it and tie it up first. ”

"Uh, meow, meow."

The pork chop scratched its whiskers, and it probably figured out the misunderstanding.

Gael's description of what is happening from the hunter's point of view, but in the eyes of the Strangefaces, it is likely to be a different story.

——

Beside the newly dug secret passage, many things appeared, which was a gift from nature!

While happily checking, a group of strange, scary-looking creatures ran in and surrounded themselves.

I was scared and waved my weapon to try to scare the other person away, but the other party approached and wanted to attack! You must flee at once and tell your companions that there is a strange enemy invasion.

Then he was caught and eaten!!

——

Based on what it knew about the time it spent with the Odd-Faced Clan, this Odd-Faced Clan probably thought so.

After all, they don't have the concept of "property", no matter what they are, whoever finds them belongs to them, or they will grab them.

It's a pity that none of them can speak the Odd Faces language, and this Strange Face Clan obviously doesn't know Old Continent either.

It is too difficult to dispel the misunderstanding between two races with different views through gestures.

After telling everyone what he thought, Gordon didn't know what to say.

Anhill reminded aloud, "That necklace of the King of the Strange Faces Clan, show it quickly!" ”

The reason why they are waiting for the pork chop to come back is that they are waiting for this.

"Yes, I almost forgot about meow."

The pork chop approached the strange face who was constantly struggling, and his body was bloodstained by the rope, and pulled out the necklace of beast teeth.

The Odd Face Clan was stunned when they saw the necklace, and they settled down at once, not only did they stop scolding, but they also said a lot to the pork chops, but unfortunately the pork chops didn't understand.

The hunters looked at each other, and Gordon drew his knife and crouched down beside the Oddfaces.

The strange-faced man seemed to have lost his memory in an instant, and Gordon's easily misunderstood behavior didn't stimulate it, but instead looked at Gordon with a blank eye.

Its trust in the man rose to an incomprehensible level.

Gordon cut the rope, and the freed Strangeface jumped happily a few times and grunted again.

Anhill thought for a moment, walked over to the supplies, opened an ammo box, and then took out an ammo under the curious gaze of the Strangefaces, and loaded it into the ballista.

Immediately after that, he pulled the bolt and bounced the crossbow out.

He tried to make the Strangemian people understand that these things were matching, and that they had brought them.

But the Strange-Faced Clan apparently didn't understand his thoughts, and jumped for joy as if they had seen some kind of interesting performance.

"Would you like to invite it to eat and meow?" Sandstone proposes aside.

Sharing food is the most direct way for orcs to show friendship among their species.

It just so happened that Gordon and the others brought back a lot of freshly caught fish, and the pork chop simply set up a barbecue grill and grilled the fish.

The atmosphere of the meal was somewhat strange to the hunters, but the strange noodle man ate it with great pleasure, and took out some kind of nut he didn't know to share with the hunters.

I can't see what it looks like I was going to die or live before.

After eating, the Odd-Faced Clan patted his stomach and stood up, waving his hand vigorously as if to say goodbye.

The hunters waved at it as well.

"Gamba!"

The Strangeface jumped on the spot twice, and after a final cheer, they plunged into the small cavern and disappeared.

Gordon held the fishbone in his mouth, a little uncertain, "That's okay, right?" ”

"I guess, it's fun to watch."

Anhill wiped his hands with a hand towel and said jokingly, "Maybe I'll bring a large group of Odd Noodles to eat tomorrow." ”
