Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon called his companions over.

"You're still going to take a risk, aren't you?" Anshir stared at Gordon.

"Um."

Gordon didn't deny it, took the map, and repeated what the professor said to him just now, "...we are now located in the eastern area of ​​the main peak, this is a very good opportunity.

So I'm going to scout the area tonight.

Although it is not clear what the thing that angered Lanlong is, but I don't think it is some kind of monster. If luck is not too bad, it should be rewarded. "

Anshir pinched the corners of his eyes and thought for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"This judgment is reasonable. If it is some kind of monster that angered Lanlong, they should be at least the same level of creatures, and fighting will definitely break out until one party dies or leaves, so it can basically be ruled out.

Moreover, if the professor's judgment about Lanlong's unwillingness to approach the area east of the main peak is true, then searching in this area should indeed be safer.

Personal preference aside, I support reconnaissance, the only question is, why at night. "

"So far, the sighting records about Lanlong are basically during the daytime."

The professor explained for Gordon: "Although it cannot be directly asserted that Lanlong will not act at night, at least in terms of probability, night reconnaissance has positive significance."

"Because of Lanlong's anger, there shouldn't be any dangerous monster activities in the current Lingfeng Mountains. Nighttime reconnaissance is no more dangerous than daytime." Gordon added.

"For this reason, I have no problem." Anshir nodded.

Gordon looked to Hayatta.

"I have no opinion either."

Hayata thought for a while, and called Alva who was roasting pine nuts, "Mr. Alva, you have been active in this area these days, can you help us draw a rough terrain?"

Alva pushed his glasses, "I try my best, but the terrain in the Lingfeng Mountains is too complicated, and there are columnar cliffs everywhere. It is impossible for me to draw every one of them, but it should be roughly OK."

"That's enough."

"Wait a minute."

Alva dug out a pen and paper from his book bag. Gordon and the others didn't expect this guy to carry these things with him under such circumstances.

"This is the main peak. Lanlong lives on the top of the peak. Don't approach this direction."

Alva first drew a series of high mountains with stick figures, and then drew a small triangle on the other side of the paper.

"Our current position is this small triangle, well, I'll call it the camp, five or six kilometers west of the camp, you will enter the foothills of the main peak, don't go there.

To the southeast, through a dense stone forest, you will enter a relatively flat woodland, which is the place where I met the blue bear beast while picking fruit.

To the southwest, there is a sub-peak. After crossing that mountain, not far away is the place where the airship crashed.

If you go north, uh, there is also a continuous stone forest and a big river. The professor and I have witnessed a group of dogs and dragons there. There are four or five of them, which should not pose any threat to you.

That's pretty much it. "

Pig Chop, who was watching Alva's drawing together, stretched out his little paw and patted Alva's shoulder.

"The topographic map you drew is much clearer than Gordon's."

"Ah, huh? Thank you."

Gordon pinched the pork chop's ears, with a stern face to hide his embarrassment, "In short, after we set off from the camp, there are three directions we can scout.

The stone forest and woodland in the southeast, the side peak in the southwest, and the stone forest and river in the north. My suggestion is to give up the southeast direction for now and focus more on the southwest side peak and the north stone forest. "

"Huh? Why?" Alva couldn't help asking.

The professor gave his stubborn apprentice a sideways look, "Because you all came from this direction, and you have run the most in this direction these days.

Since you haven't found any abnormalities, it is only natural that the priority of this direction is lowered. "

"Ooh."

After training Alva, the professor looked at the hunters again, "Thank you for your night reconnaissance, take Alva's camouflage cloak, wear it at night, even if Lanlong flies over your heads, you may not be able to find it.

After a while, I will take the remaining canvas and make a larger one for Gordon. As for Mr. Heavy Crossbow Maker, it should not be necessary. The Xunlong armor is the best concealed night travel equipment. "

"That's it, take the time to rest, and set off after the sky is completely dark to conduct reconnaissance.

If all goes well, we'll be back tomorrow! "

The sun sets, and night covers the Lingfeng Mountains.

Gordon and his party left the temporary camp and set off quietly.

I don't know if it is due to Lanlong's ability to control the wind and rain, but when the storm is not blown, the sky in the Lingfeng Mountains is unbelievably clear.

As far as the eye could see, there was not a single cloud.

In the sky where the last quarter moon hangs high, countless stars form an ocean of starlight.

The silver-blue glow enveloped the land, and even Gordon and the others, who had traveled all over the continent and were accustomed to seeing the beautiful scenery everywhere, couldn't help but feel lost for a moment.

"call."

Gordon exhaled softly.

If it wasn't for Lanlong's threat, he really wanted to stop and appreciate the starry sky in front of him.

After looking around and confirming the direction, Gordon made two gestures.

go north.

Three people and two cats set off silently but quickly.

They plan to go to the stone forest and the river basin in the north of the camp to conduct reconnaissance first. As for why they don't go to the sub-peak in the southwest first.

For no particular reason, Gordon picked it at random.

Pork Chop and Pandan, as usual, leaned forward for a certain distance to scout ahead of time.

They should try their best to avoid such accidents as Goulongqun.

It's not that I'm worried about safety, but I don't want Lanlong to be attracted by the smell of blood after the battle.

Although there is no evidence that Lanlong has a keen sense of smell, but out of prudence, let's assume that Lanlong's vision, smell, and hearing are extraordinary.

Always be cautious.

Guided by the map provided by Alva, Gordon and his party soon arrived at the target stone forest.

But they didn't know exactly what they should look for, so they had to spread out a little bit, looking for things that could be called "abnormal" as much as possible.

Such searches lasted for hours, and the hunters joined together.

They found a hidden rock recess to hide temporarily and exchanged their discoveries.

"I didn't find anything unusual here."

"I do not have either."

"No meow found."

Gordon covered his face, "It seems that there is no gain. It is meaningless to continue to turn here. Turn to the south, the sub-peak that Alva said."

Anshir's expression became more serious, "What if the south still hasn't found it?"

Gordon was silent for a while, "Then turn to the woodland in the southeast, I plan to at least search this suspicious area east of the main peak.

Even if there are no commendable discoveries, at least a more detailed map can be compiled to help hunters who re-scrutinize this area later.

As for the final result, there's no need to be too aggressive. If we don't find out, we're going to leave Lingfeng. "

"Um."

A smile appeared on the corner of Anshir's mouth, "Let's simply record the terrain around here first, and we may forget it later."
