Chapter 1019 Uninvited Guests

(Sorry, I forgot to upload it--)

The three cats spent some time collecting a handful of crystal particles, put them in a small leather bag and tied it up, and then continued to explore deeper into the cave.

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

This exploration is less efficient, but also the safest.

However, the hunting cats don't need to use this method this time. There is still a little smell in the air. It is estimated that the strange-faced tribe has passed by in the past few days.

Their goal is to find the strange-faced tribe, and it is always right to follow the smell.

The leader was replaced by Xianglan, who has the most sensitive sense of smell and hearing. It walked forward cautiously step by step. Now it was the turn of Pork Chop and Sandstone to complain about its slowness.

"Hurry up, meow."

"What are you dawdling about, meow?"

"You're so noisy, meow!" Xianglan turned back and waved her paws angrily, "Be careful in unknown environments, meow!"

This reason is very reasonable, and Zhuchou Sandstone can't say anything wrong, but Xianglan's speed has indeed increased a lot. It hates being treated as a coward.

They entered a passage and came to another cave.

This cave is semi-open, so it is bright with sunlight.

Zhuchou found that in this open-air cave, the crystals in the rock layer are much rarer. Maybe it's because the energy is scattered into the air?

Zhuchou asked Xianglan not to rush forward. The three cats searched in this cave with sunlight and found a crack that leads to the outside world.

The crack is relatively wide, and Gordon can enter sideways like this.

So Zhuchou ran out and made a mark on the outside of the crack, so that if Gordon and others want to come in later, they can enter through this side.

After confirming the new entrance and exit, the three cats continued to explore by following the smell.

They entered a downward sloping passage and came to a cave underground.

Maybe it was due to the difference in the strata or some other inexplicable reason, the cave underground was lower and the number of crystals in the rock layer increased sharply.

If the faint light in the first cave could only allow Elu to see the road clearly, then here, even humans without dim light vision can move normally.

Zhucho hesitated and decided to stop exploring.

The terrain of underground caves is often the most complicated. If we continue to move forward, we don’t know when we will get there. We should go back to the camp first and come with the hunters tomorrow.

On the way back, they did not follow the original route, but came to the outside world through the crack that could leave the cave, and then found a way back to the temporary camp.

The mountain road outside the cave was rugged. It was originally only about 20 minutes, but it took almost an hour.

No wonder the strange-faced people would work hard to dig a hole and make that shortcut.

Just as he was thinking about the strange-faced tribe, Pig Chop returned to the camp and looked up to see a strange-faced tribe tied up like a rope ball. It kept twisting under the gaze of the hunters, and it was still screaming and yelling, as if it was cursing something.

"Meow meow meow?!" Seeing Pig Chop and the others come back, the hunters who were looking embarrassed finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up, tell it that we have no ill intentions!" Gale urged, "It's been arguing for a long time, making it seem like we are going to kill it."

"What, what's going on meow?" Pig Chop was a little confused.

Why do strange-faced tribes always break into the residence meow?

Hayata looked at the struggling strange-faced tribe and explained with a headache: "We went out to confirm the water source, and when we came back, we found that this strange-faced tribe was rummaging through the supplies we left in the camp."

"Then before we said anything, it jumped up first." Gale took over the conversation dissatisfiedly and said: "Waving a stone knife over there.

Master Yuanye tried to communicate with it with gestures. It probably thought we were going to attack, so it was going to drill into the small passage.

We were afraid that it would run away and find a bunch of companions to come back, which would expand the misunderstanding, so we had to catch it and tie it up first."

"Uh meow meow meow."

Pork Chop scratched his beard, and it probably figured out the misunderstanding.

Gail and the others described what happened from the perspective of the hunters, but in the eyes of the strange-faced tribe, things might be different.

——

Many things appeared beside the newly dug secret passage, which was a gift from nature!

I was happily checking it out, and a group of strange creatures that looked scary ran in and surrounded me.

I was very scared, waving my weapon to try to scare them away, but they approached and wanted to attack! He must escape immediately and tell his companions about the invasion of strange enemies.

Then he was caught and eaten!!!

——

Based on his understanding of the time he spent with the strange-faced people, this strange-faced person probably thought so.

After all, they don't have the concept of "property". No matter what it is, whoever finds it belongs to him, otherwise they will fight to rob it.

Unfortunately, none of them can speak the strange-faced language, and this strange-faced person obviously doesn't know the Old World language.

It's too difficult to use gestures and guesses to dispel the misunderstanding between two races with different values.

After telling everyone his thoughts, Gordon and the others didn't know what to say.

An Xier reminded, "The necklace of the king of the strange-faced people, show it to him!"

The reason they were waiting for Zhucha to come back was waiting for this.

"Yes, meow, I almost forgot meow."

Pig Chop approached the struggling Qimian tribe, whose body was rubbed with blood marks by the rope, and took out the animal tooth necklace.

After seeing the necklace clearly, the Qimian tribe was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. Not only did it stop yelling, but it also muttered a lot to Pig Chop, but it was a pity that Pig Chop could not understand.

The hunters looked at each other, and Gordon pulled out a knife and squatted beside the Qimian tribe.

The Qimian tribe seemed to have lost its memory in an instant. Gordon's behavior, which could easily cause misunderstanding, did not stimulate it. Instead, it looked at Gordon eagerly.

Its trust in the pedestrians suddenly increased to an incomprehensible level.

Gordon cut the rope, and the Qimian tribe, who regained his freedom, jumped happily a few times and started to mutter again.

Ansir thought about it, he walked to the side of the supplies, opened an ammunition box, and then took out an ammunition under the curious eyes of the Qimian tribe and loaded it into the crossbow.

Then he pulled the bolt and ejected the crossbow bullet.

He tried to make the Qimian tribe understand that these things were matched and brought by them.

But the Qimian tribe obviously did not understand his idea. Instead, it cheered and jumped as if it had seen some interesting performance.

"Why don't you treat it to food?" Sandstone suggested.

Sharing food is the most direct way for the beastmen to express friendship.

It just so happened that Gordon and his friends brought back a lot of freshly caught fish, so Pork Chop simply set up a grill and grilled the fish.

For the hunters, the atmosphere of this meal was somewhat strange. The Qimian tribe ate very happily and even took out some unfamiliar nuts to share with the hunters.

It didn't look like it was dying before.

After eating, the Qimian tribe patted its belly and stood up, waving its hands vigorously as if to say goodbye.

The hunters also waved to it.

"Gah!"

The Qimian tribe jumped twice on the spot, cheered at last, and then went into the small cave and disappeared.

Gordon held the fish bone in his mouth and said uncertainly, "Is this okay?"

"I think so. He looks quite happy."

An Xier wiped his hands with a towel and said jokingly, "Maybe he will bring a large group of strange-faced people to eat with him tomorrow."
