In the evening, the Merws in the camp began to pack their bags.

The leader, Eller, handed Li Ming a roster with countless cat paw prints.

"All the members' names are here."

Eyler, Flora, Bell, Bard, Whole Wheat, Arthur, Onion, Willow, Mana

There were twenty-five Meru in total.

Each one's hobbies and abilities are marked in detail.

Since many of them were listeners who used to be storytellers, these names Li Ming looked very familiar.

"Why are there thirteen more?"

Li Ming asked.

"They're meows who voluntarily become collateral."

"By the way, are you really willing to follow the squad?"

"Of course, Meow, after Midodo said that you want to establish a cat stronghold, we have already conducted a sacred claw vote, and finally unanimously decided to follow the team to open up a new world."

Eller said firmly.

"Being a cat expedition is a big risk."

"It's just as dangerous to live here."

"Okay."

The small tent was dismantled, and the square ice crystals at the bottom of the well were lifted out and loaded.

When the team hit the road the next day, they were followed by a fully loaded cat cart.

Came to the business road to take a sand boat, and rushed back to the sandstone cave branch in only one day.

Li Ming wanted to visit Wood and Ah Tang, but the other party went out hunting.

I helped clean up the small yard and fed the squeaky pigs by the way.

After settling the members of the Meilu tribe here, the next step is to distribute the members.

If you really want to form a cat camp, you must have a clear division of labor.

Camp construction and maintenance, logistics, adventure team members, and cat rescue team.

Li Ming made design arrangements according to the characteristics and abilities of each cat.

Two days later, the carcass of the scratching bird arrived.

"It's all made into cat weapon armor, are you sure?"

Hearing Li Ming's disposal of the bird scratching materials, the craftsman Ai Lu was extremely surprised.

"Yes, how many sets can you make?"

"Well, there are very few materials for cat armor, and the structure is relatively simple, and there should be more than a dozen sets of meows."

Artisan Ailu informed.

"Then let's build it as soon as possible."

Four days later, the workshop delivered 14 sets of Bird Scratching Kitty.

After equipping Miduo Bububu, Li Ming distributed the remaining 12 sets to the members of the expedition team and the ambulance team, and promised that the other members would have them sooner or later after the team hunted.

It's just that because of the different risks of the work, the ranking will be delayed.

Li Ming then announced the location of the cat camp, which was located in a glade next to the coast of the Fari Fortress.

The reason is that the ecological climate there is not as harsh as that of the sand plain, and at the same time, it is close to the Feiye Fortress, and many monsters that can pose a potential threat will not easily set foot in.

And because of the transportation restrictions, the expedition team could not do a long expedition.

The abundance of local products, as well as the collection of raw materials for the two poisons, ensure that the camp has enough income to sustain its operations.

At noon, the sun is in full bloom.

A middle-aged male hunter wearing heavy earthy yellow armor and carrying a horned dragon shield axe on his back, and a Elo in the same style of dress, walked into the sandstone cave stronghold.

The man was covered in mud and blood, apparently fresh from a fight.

The onlookers stood for a moment, and then they all made way for a passage to pass through the middle.

At the end of the main road, the man turned into the side street and came to a small courtyard with a separate door.

Push the door and walk in, and see the small tents scattered throughout the courtyard, as well as the Meilu cats playing and playing.

The man took two steps back and looked closely at the courtyard door to make sure he hadn't made a mistake.

"Ah Tang, this is our home."

"Yes, meow."

Ah Tang forcefully pulled out the helmet of the ceratosaurus and gave confirmation.

"Senior Wood! Finally see you back, go in and sit down, by the way, this is the house. ”

Rushing back, Li Ming greeted him warmly.

"It's Li Ming haha."

Wood, who was a little surprised, seemed very happy.

Holding Li Ming's wrist with one hand is directly a hug.

"Huh? This smell."

Finding the black and purple dust on his shoulder, Li Ming noticed that something was wrong.

"I'm sorry, but I was a little overjoyed to see you come back, and you haven't given up using the shield axe, and I forgot to carry a lot of dragon virus dust."

Wood said and quickly retreated.

"Let's go into the house."

Ah Tang reminded.

"That makes sense, after dealing with the wound, I still have to go to the guild."

After Wood finished speaking, he and Li Ming came to the wooden house together.

Remove the Ceratosaurus armor and crisscross new and old wounds.

Ah Cheng skillfully took out bottles and cans in the kitchen and reconciled the medicine for the wound.

"Senior Wood, did you go on a crusade against the Black Eclipse Dragon, or did you encounter it by chance?"

Li Ming asked.

"I took the initiative to crusade, but I failed, but I got important information. Yikes! ”

The ointment that Ah Tang applied to Wood's body made him grit his teeth in pain.

"Important information. Could it be that the Black Eclipse Dragon has the possibility of transforming into a Heavenly Dragon? ”

There is important information about the Black Eclipse Dragon, one is the spread of the Crazy Dragon virus, and the other is the individual who may transform into the Heavenly Dragon.

"You kid knows a lot, that's right, but what's more serious is that it has adapted to the parasitic rodent to a large extent, and is still training its combat skills by constantly challenging monsters in various areas."

That is to say. This black eclipse dragon is consciously forging ahead, making itself continue to become stronger? ”

"Yes, this kind of black eclipse dragon entity that is keen on struggle, once it transforms into a Heavenly Dragon, the threat it can cause as soon as possible will be beyond imagination, and it must be prevented by the guild as soon as possible."

After wrapping the bandages around his body, Wood put on a set of civilian clothes and rushed to the guild to report the situation.

"That black eclipse dragon, can't even Wood's predecessors deal with meow?"

Midodo asked worriedly.

"Yes, Meow, I've never seen such a strong Black Eclipse Dragon, and I don't have a chance at all, if only I could summon three more five-star hunters, maybe I can eradicate it in one fell swoop before it continues to grow stronger."

Ah Tang sighed.

Li Ming felt that the helplessness in the face of the super-strong Black Eclipse Dragon individual was a microcosm of the current world.

The continuous defeat of the connection has deprived humanity of the ability to detect the crisis in advance and eradicate it in the continuous exploration, as in the game.

The next day, the team took Merus on their way.

In order to thank Wood's predecessors for taking care of him, Li Ming took a box of forced pills before leaving and left them for the other party.

Leaving the sandbara three days later, the hired wagon continued on its way, and the team returned to the Frirose Fortress six days later.

Coming to the open space in the forest near the sea, Li Ming did not rush the infrastructure of the cat camp, but led the cats to dig an emergency bunker.

Then there's the safety training.,Monsters that must not be provoked in the abandoned shrine area, such as the Tiger Dragon, are all described in detail.。

If there's one advantage of the Cat Expedition over the human gatherers, it's that Erumelu won't be targeted by powerful monsters.

Li Ming speculated that there was no threat and the lack of meat may be the main reason.

But if you are naughty and take the initiative to provoke, then the other party will definitely not mind taking you to meet the meow god.

Three days later, the cat camp, with more than a dozen tents, was set up.

The statue of the meow god piled up with debris, the cube ice crystal, and the cat dojo with various training equipment are all deployed in it.

During this period, Li Ming found a Fumu rabbit nest located on a tree branch through [Hatching Nest Exploration].

Constant feeding and verbal flickering eventually moved the nest above the cat camp, allowing for early warning when threatening monsters approached.

After that, Li Ming also did several crisis drills to continuously improve the time it takes for the cats to hide in the bunker.

On the fourth day, Chu Ying submitted the first collection list to the cat camp.

This kind of thing has always been relatively rare.

Chu Ying just wanted to try it, but as a result, Meilu in the tribe dispatched a large number of them, and it only took half a day to mix the ammunition on the list and collect it back.

"Is this the Cat Expedition, it's amazing!"

Looking at the various materials contained in the bamboo basket, Chu Ying couldn't help but admire.

"What else do you need, just tell meow, the camp hasn't started to undertake external business yet, and all the cats are still idle, so as long as the materials within the collection range are handed over to us."

Eller informed.

After the cat camp was on the right track, Li Ming, who was free, studied a new hunting contract.

When fighting against Scratching Bird, he found that the villain shield axe he was currently using was a little inadequate, both in terms of attack power and sharpness.

Therefore, a new shield axe will be created as a prerequisite for choosing a contract.

However, the three-star contract of the fortress branch seems to be only available to the kappa frog that can create a water-attribute shield axe.

In the evening, the team consults with the barbecue restaurant.

"It's a little tricky, what's the shield axe you're most looking forward to right now?"

Chu Ying asked.

"The fireworks shield axe made of female fire dragon materials, but unfortunately it's a four-star monster, unless it's an emergency contract, the team can't take it yet, and whether the team can beat it is also unknown."

Li Ming informed.

"It's better to be prepared in advance."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, you can try to defeat the strange dragon first, make a light crossbow Tight Tension Injection Type 1, and then let the Cat Expedition continue to accumulate through the electric shock bomb materials, during which the existing shield axe can be upgraded to the maximum, so that when you receive the female fire dragon crusade contract, you can start hunting."

Chu Ying said the plan.

"The female fire dragon is weak thunder, this idea is good, but the two of us seem to have poor resistance to the electric shock of the strange dragon."

Li Ming voiced his concerns.

"The spongy will freeze quickly after it stores water in the cold zone, and you have silt armor that should also have some degree of resistance to electric shocks."

"Okay, I'll go to the guild tomorrow and ask Shui Yun. Forget it, let's go after eating. ”

After having a clear direction of effort, Li Ming finished eating the barbecue and went straight to the guild.

Not only did he recognize Chu Ying's equipment building ideas, but he also looked forward to the skills of the strange dragon.

"The strange dragon contract is there, but that monster is very dangerous, even if there is a cat ambulance team present, it is very dangerous to hunt, and every year hunters die because of this, is the team sure to be ready?"

Shui Yun asked with some concern.

"Yes."

"Okay, look."

Shui Yun handed over the contract after speaking.

[Fight off faceless monsters]. ★★★

Location: Frozen Isles - Ice Cave beneath a Wild Stronghold.

Contract Target: Strange Dragon

Client: Lonely Fox, an adventurous investigator

Mission Description: In the underground cavern where the stronghold is located, a strange dragon has appeared.

The posture of hanging from the top of the cave is really terrifying, and the field investigation is no longer possible.

Scared that one day it would climb up, begging the hunter team to eradicate it.

Gratuity: 5100Z + 1350Z (subsidy)

Time limit: 28 days

"It turned out to be a contract issued by Lone Fox."

"She's the only investigator stationed in the Frozen Islands all year round, and if the team can remove the threat, the Lone Fox investigator will be happy. The momentum of the ruthless squad is very strong, but you still have to do what you can. ”

Some of the hunter teams picked up the contract at the counter, and it was the last time they met.

Shui Yun hoped that Li Ming would be cautious.

"Thanks for the reminder, we are confident that we can complete the task."

"That's good cat ambulance, the team thinks"

"Needless to say, this mission team has its own cat ambulance team."

"Huh? Comes your own? ”

The corners of Shui Yun's eyes jumped, and her face was incredulous.

After receiving the contract, preparations for the hunting operation began.

In the abandoned shrine area, the Meilu expedition scavenged a large number of hollow fruits and gunpowder herbs, and produced fire bombs in batches.

Li Ming used the monster encyclopedia to study the characteristics of strange dragons.

Chu Ying practiced running, jumping and rolling to ensure that she could get out safely when threatened.

Three days later, the team set off by boat.

For the hunter team with its own cat rescue team, the crew and passengers are very curious.

Nine days later, the transport ship docked at an uninhabited port in the frozen archipelago.

Looking at the five boxes of flame bombs unloaded, Chu Ying thought to herself that since she became a hunter, she had never been so extravagant.

After the cat car was hoisted and draped down on the ice, Li Ming found a small padded jacket and wrapped the meow statue fixed on the car tightly.

"It's a little cold here, but the oysters are very delicious, so I asked Miduoduo to deliver them in the evening."

The reason why Li Ming wanted to bring the meow god statue was mainly because the duration of [Meow God's Elf Protection (Oversized)] was a bit pitiful.

Hunting in the abandoned shrine area, three days is barely enough.

In an area like the Frozen Isles, which requires a long journey, the effect disappears before halfway through.

Ice skating, snowball fights, building snowmen

It was the first time I saw a lot of snow, and I had a lot of fun.

The target of this hunt is in the ice cave below the field base, eliminating the need to confirm the scope of the activity.

However, it has been confirmed that the threat exists, and the electric dragon can still climb the rock wall, so it is obviously not wise to settle in the field stronghold.

So the team chose to set up camp in a safe area.

While hunting elk and Bobo, three sleeping dog dragons approach and try to snatch them.

Finding that Li Ming's posture wielding the shield axe was very familiar, he confirmed that he was a person who could not be provoked, and he quickly fled while shouting to warn his companions.

In the evening, the wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

As soon as Li Ming saw that the weather was so bad, he dispelled the idea of going to the field stronghold and joining the lone fox.

While the team was in the tent, eating dinner around the oven, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside.

"It's great that it's a ruthless squad."

Puff~ After the woman with snow and frost all over her body finished speaking, her body fell forward.
