Walk through an underwater tunnel and poke your head out of a warm sulphur spring.

They entered a cave inside a mountain.

Crawling out of the hot springs soaking wet, Gordon was surprised to find that the inside of the cave was unexpectedly warm.

The temperature is close to twenty degrees, and even if the armor is wet, it won't feel too cold.

The light was also abundant, and the source of the light was not only the large campfire in the center of the cavern.

The water vapor and heat brought by the hot springs caused a lot of glowing moss to grow on the rock walls of the cave, and the light of the sky penetrated through the open opening at the top of the cave that was four or five meters in diameter.

Even human eyes can see with ease.

Anhill glanced left and right twice, and said with a surprised face: "This camp is not ordinary, it is not the kind of temporary station, it is estimated that it has been in operation for many generations."

The Odd-Faced Clan we've been to, as well as Detle's station, can't compare to this one. ”

Gordon took a closer look and saw that it was indeed as Anhill had said.

The exit of the hot spring passage where they came in had obvious signs of artificial expansion.

This allows for a larger area of hot springs inside the cave, providing plenty of heat and easy access to water.

The glowing moss on the walls of the cave must have also been deliberately planted by the beast entanglers, and it was evenly distributed, and together with the light of the bonfire, the cave was dyed a warm orange red.

The edge of the open opening at the top of the cave also showed signs of ice and snow sealing, and the beasts narrowed the opening.

This ensures light and ventilation while avoiding excessive heat loss.

What surprised Gordon the most was the huge skeletons that could be found everywhere in the cave.

There is no doubt that these bones belong to large monsters, including the bones of wyverns, but these powerful creatures eventually become trophies of the beasts.

The most striking thing is the giant skull under the open opening.

The scimitar-shaped crown of sharp heads, pointing straight to the sky, is like a mighty totem pole, and can also serve as a defense against creatures such as the Winter Wing Dragon from flying down the cave entrance.

"What kind of skull is that? A bit like a horned dragon? But probably not, the one-horned dragon is not so big, and the structure is not the same. Gordon asked Hertha with some curiosity.

Hertha tilted her head, stared at the skull for a moment, retrieved her notes from Ansill, and looked through them to confirm them.

"It's supposed to be the skull of the Ice Ichthyosaurus, the question is, that's too big?" She said incredulously, "Based on its size, this icefish dragon should have been more than thirty meters long before it was born."

"That's a big fish."

What is the concept of a more than 30-meter ichthyosaur monster? Gordon couldn't help but think back to the emerald water dragon he encountered in the great river of the Kurbutios wetlands.

If Azi were here, I'm afraid I'd have to pump it over.

The reconnaissance team danced and described to the tribesmen the deeds of Gordon and the others who easily hunted the Tawnsaurus, and more than a dozen beasts surrounded them excitedly.

Wriggling his fat belly, he didn't know if he was dancing or saying hello.

Two of them were very kind enough to hand Hertha, who was wearing only a wet single coat, a thick piece of fur.

"Thank you."

Hertha put on what appeared to be a mammoth fur, crouched down and communicated with the little ones.

Gordon and the others were not bothered, so they had to stand there with a pestle.

Suddenly, Gordon felt someone tug at the hem of his armor, looked down and saw an Enthrade standing next to his leg, raising a small paw at him.

Gordon subconsciously reached out and touched his palm with it.

This slightly childish behavior made Anhill's eyelids jump, but the beast was very happy.

After bouncing on the spot a few times, he pulled out a piece of smoked jerky from his furry cloak and held it up in front of Gordon.

Gordon couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, and after taking the jerky, he returned a piece of food and brought it back.

The beast clan sniffed the food it carried, and seemed to like the smell of the dry food, and happily twisted his fat body.

Two more beasts came up, holding up some animal bones, ores, dried meat, and other messy things, and wanted to exchange them with Gordon.

Gordon spread his hands, indicating that it was gone.

The two beasts suddenly collapsed as if they had been struck by lightning, and lay down on the ground, rolling around like children.

"What's going on?" Gordon couldn't help but ask Anhill.

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Hertha, who was communicating with the Beast Entanglers over there, noticed the situation here and turned her head, "The Beast Tribes like to barter, don't underestimate their insight and intelligence.

Food for food, you have to be willing to give good things, and they will also exchange treasures with you. ”

"Really?" Anhill raised an eyebrow.

After thinking about it, he took out an ancient secret medicine from his bag.

Gordon's pork chop and Hertha all have a "worthy of it" expression, which can be sold for quite an astonishing price in the Old World.

Even in the New World, high-quality medicinal materials are relatively easy to obtain, and you have to ask a high-level pharmacist or alchemist to refine them, and the price is still expensive.

The small size, portable and easy to take, coupled with the far more powerful effect than ordinary recovery drugs, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a half-life to carry around.

Hertha briefly explained to the Beast Clan the effect and value of the ancient elixir, and with the size of the Beast Clan, one secret medicine could be divided into two or three parts.

When they were injured during the hunt, the beast entanglers, who had no medical means other than to find the recovery worms, burst out and ran away, each to get a treasure worthy of this trade.

The few who were originally around Hertha, and you said a word to me, also ran away.

"Did you learn any key information?" Anhill asked.

Hertha smiled and stood up, "The social structure of the Beast Clan is very special, they don't have a clear leader like the Odd-Face Clan or Detle.

They usually operate in small groups, which is quite similar to that of hunters.

The loose social structure makes it difficult for their communities to grow and pass on their history, but they can live well.

Listening to this group of beasts, they seem to be the only orc tribe in this plain, with a total population of only about fifty.

As for the establishment of diplomatic relations, it is going well, they are willing to cooperate with powerful hunters, and they have promised not to take the initiative to attack our convoys. ”

Anhill nodded, "That's fine, then the mission is completed, is it necessary to continue the cooperative hunt?" ”

"I've said yes, so let's play with them." Gordon folded his arms and said, "The reason why they proposed cooperative hunting should be to show us their strength.

Only by understanding each other can cooperation be the foundation. ”

"Okay."

At this time, the beasts who ran to get the treasure also came back one after another.

Gordon casually glanced at several things of value.

Brilliant crystals, restrained keels, leather from unknown monsters, and more.

Of course, there are also useless ones, such as half a brightly colored eggshell.

"How can there be any living creatures? What kind of creature is that? Anhil asked Herta, pointing to an beast-haunted tribe.

It was a beautiful creature that seemed to only appear in a dream, and the rainbow light emitted from its body was constantly changing like the aurora, and it was extremely beautiful.

However, its appearance was a little pitiful at this time, a few tassel-like tentacles were clutched in the claws of the beast-haunted tribe, and it looked like a large kite being dragged away.

Hertha frowned, "A creature that I haven't seen before, it looks like a jellyfish, and it can still fly in the air, maybe it's a creature similar to the flying black hat and the moon jellyfish?" ”

"That's it, it's beautiful, take it back as a pet."

Ps.

In the game, it seems that you have to catch the Moon Feather Heavenly Mother in order to exchange it on the side of the Beast Entanglement Clan? (Actually, I didn't catch orz)
