Wait until Lan En enters the next level of the research base under the leadership of the old lady of the dragon people.

This floor is still a remodeled version of a former hot air balloon ship, and looks like a cabin bedroom.

It's just that there is a very small opening for the size of ordinary people, which leads directly to the natural environment outside.

This is the exclusive passage for the cat expeditions.

When Lann came down, there were two expeditions resting in this level.

Only one of the expeditions was a regular Elu cat.

They are uniformly dressed in retinue cat gear made from feathers and scales dropped by poisonous demon birds in the ancient tree forest.

Because cats are much smaller than humans, their equipment is often much simpler and more economical than humans.

You can often save up a set by just following the monster's ass and picking up what their daily metabolism drops.

So even without the help of hunters, the Cat Expedition team can often be equipped with a set of monster material equipment.

The cats of the team were slumped in the middle of a pile of barrels, seemingly enjoying their recuperation.

There's also a Detle squad.

Detter is a native orc race native to the New World, and if the appearance of Elu cats resembles domestic cats, then the appearance of these Detels is more like pointy-eared bobcats and lynxes.

The Detters of the New World are divided into many tribes on a regional basis, each with its own unique means of surviving in this wild and dangerous continent.

For example, the current team should be from the Ancient Tree Forest.

Because one of the cats was weaving a cage like a lamp out of branches.

This cage is called the [Glitter Insect Cage], and the Worm Cage Clan Detter in the Ancient Tree Forest region has the means to attract the Glitter Wing Worm into the Worm Cage.

As long as you carry this cage, you are carrying a recyclable, high-performance flashbang.

As soon as the old woman of the dragon people came, the six cats raised their heads in unison.

"Eh, mother-in-law, are you okay?"

A white and black-spotted Elu cat trotted over on all fours, and sat down in front of the dragon-man mother-in-law, so that the dragon-man old woman could touch her head.

It had just sat slumped against a barrel, its tail wagging listlessly on its belly, and its kitten sword sharpened in its hands.

"Oh, it's seaweed, it's nothing. It's just that there seems to be a very strange monster here, and it will put curses on other creatures, so an expert hunter came to check it out. ”

Lann walked up from behind and waved to the kittens.

His affinity was as good as ever, and the kittens' amazements came and went.

"What a high hunter meow!"

"It must be a super meow!"

Lan En took a few sausages from the alchemy leather pouch on his back and gave them to the kittens.

So the last trace of tension disappeared.

Lane could even touch the heads of these little ones with ease.

After turning around, Lan En still didn't notice the curse of the deer head.

So he began to wander around the break room, searching for what had been left behind by the other expeditions.

The research base is the most common base used by expeditions, so they will usually leave some supplies or spare equipment here.

And Lan En, who had been rummaging through a pile of cat supplies for a long time, was surprised for the first time in his deep eyes.

At the same time, the roaring bear head necklace around his neck also trembled slightly.

"I found it! Mother-in-law! ”

Lann, poking his head out of a pile of barrels, shouted.

This movement even brought down the Grand Master of the upper echelons.

His sturdy physique stepped on the stairs with a 'bang', and before the dragon-man mother-in-law could speak, the blonde hedgehog head poked out of the stairwell, happily confirmed.

"Found it?! Aha! Mother-in-law, tell us which squad this is, we're going to start hunting! ”

"Wow, that bucket, I think about it."

The dragon-man mother-in-law pushed the hair that was coiled up on her head.

"Ahh That's the storage bucket for the Thief Adventure Group! They've been on their way to the Valley of Miasma beneath the Coral Plateau for five days. ”

Five days

The surprise on Lan En and Grand Master's faces suddenly froze, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Cats are small and fast-moving, and from time to time they can find some small secret passages that can only be used by their size.

It's been five days since I went out, where can I find it?

Demon hunters have a strong sense, and the guide insects of the New World are also good at tracking trails.

But even the best tracking experts have to talk about 'scope'.

This new continent covers a vast area, and the Anthill Wasteland and the Ancient Tree Forest add up to tens of millions of square kilometers.

Although the land coral platform covers a much smaller area due to the special relationship between genesis, it is also the same as a modern large city.

From east to west, a straight line of smooth road, it takes two or three hours to drive!

Not to mention the difference in altitude in the actual topography.

And in the Miasma Valley under the Land Coral Plateau, although Lan En has not been to this place yet, it must be not small.

With such a vast area, so many lively creatures and monsters as interference, Lan En didn't think he could find three cats at all.

"Tsk, what do you say now?"

The Grand Master touched his hedgehog head and grinned.

And Lan En, as the leader of the hunt against the deer head spirit, also pinched his chin at this time and frowned.

"I might be able to do something."

After a moment of contemplation, Lan En spoke in an unsure tone.

Facing the Grand Master's expectant eyes, he shook his head slightly.

"Wait for me to try it first, wait here for a few days, if the thieves come back, it will be easy to do, and if they haven't come back, this time should be enough for me to do something."

The Grand Master nodded helplessly, and together with Lan En, he re-arrived in front of the head of the third phase and asked for a room as a lounge.

Although this research base is isolated from the Star Stronghold, it is only isolated at the level of the 'Great Army', such as Grand Master or other hunters with superior abilities, who will go on long-distance adventures in the New World without logistical support.

During this time, most of them will pass through the research base, so the research base has equipment for hunters to rest.

That night, Lan En came to the outside of the research base and pulled out the elven beacon and cone-shaped crystal in the alchemy leather bag.

The Elven Beacon still retains its austere appearance, like a stone inscription.

It's just that the terrifying chill is still locked in by the combined magic of Tishaya and Margarita, and it has not leaked out in the slightest.

And the conical crystal is still the conical crystal.

"That's how I remember this thing."

The witcher recalls Tishaya's training from before Aretusa's departure, and begins to use the chaos magic in her body to stimulate the cone-shaped crystal.

Lights began to appear out of thin air in the crystal, and following the established steps, Lan attached the cone-shaped crystal to the Elven Beacon.

The Elven Beacon is responsible for locking the world coordinates, while the Cone Crystal is responsible for delivering the message.

This is one of the results of the joint research of Tishaya and Margarita: the ability to communicate across the world.

It's just that this method is still very crude, and due to the mysterious time flow difference between worlds, Lan, Margarita, and Tishaya don't know how long ago the other party's message was sent and when they received it.

But the first step from scratch often can't ask for so much.

Ask for recommendations! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a subscription!
