Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1247 The Beast Clan’s Transaction

Through the underwater tunnel, they poked their heads out of the warm sulfur spring.

They entered a cave inside a mountain.

Gordon, who was prepared to endure the cold, climbed out of the hot spring and was surprised to find that the cave was unexpectedly warm.

The temperature was close to 20 degrees, so even if the armor was wet, it would not feel too cold.

The light was sufficient, and the source of light was not only the large bonfire in the center of the cave.

The water vapor and heat brought by the hot spring made a lot of luminous moss grow on the rock walls in the cave, and the skylight penetrated from the four or five meters in diameter open-air opening at the top of the cave.

Even human eyes can see things easily.

Anshil looked around twice and said in surprise: "This camp is not ordinary. It is not the kind of temporary settlement. It is estimated that it has been operating for many generations.

The settlements of the strange-faced tribe and Deter that we have visited are incomparable to this place."

Gordon observed carefully and found that it was indeed as Anshil said.

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

This would make the hot spring area inside the cave larger, provide sufficient heat, and facilitate water collection.

The luminous mosses on the cave wall should also have been planted intentionally by the beast tribe. They were evenly distributed and dyed the cave warm orange-red together with the firelight of the bonfire.

The edge of the open-air opening on the top of the cave also had signs of being blocked with ice and snow. The beast tribe narrowed the opening.

This would ensure light and ventilation while preventing excessive heat loss.

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

There was no doubt that these skeletons belonged to large monsters, and some even had the skeletons of flying dragons. However, these powerful creatures eventually became the spoils of the beast tribe.

The most eye-catching thing was the giant skull under the open-air opening.

The sharp scimitar-shaped crown pointed straight to the sky, like a mighty totem pole, and could also play a defensive role in preventing creatures such as the winter pterosaur from flying into the cave.

"What's that skull? It looks a bit like a unicorn? But it shouldn't be. A unicorn isn't that big, and its structure is different." Gordon asked Heta curiously.

Heta tilted her head and stared at the skull for a while, then took back her notes from Ansel and flipped through them to confirm.

"It should be the skull of an icefish dragon, but it's too big?" She said in disbelief: "Based on the size, the length of this icefish dragon should have exceeded 30 meters when it was alive."

".That's a really big fish."

What does a 30-meter-long ichthyosaur monster mean? Gordon couldn't help but recall the green water dragon he encountered in the Kulbutios wetland river.

If Az was here, he would probably faint from excitement.

The reconnaissance team danced and described to the tribesmen how Gordon and others easily hunted the Bullosaurus, and more than a dozen beast-entangled tribesmen gathered around excitedly.

Twisting his fat belly, I don't know if he was dancing or saying hello.

Two of them were very considerate and handed a piece of thick fur to Heta, who was only wearing a wet single coat.

"Thank you."

After Heta put on the fur that looked like mammoth skin, he squatted down and talked to the group of little guys.

Gordon and the others didn't want to disturb them, so they had to stand there.

Suddenly, Gordon felt someone tug at the hem of his armor. He looked down and found a beast standing beside his legs, raising a small paw to him.

Gordon subconsciously reached out and touched palms with it.

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

After jumping a few times on the spot, he took out a piece of smoked beast jerky from the furry cloak and held it in front of Gordon.

Gordon couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so after taking the jerky, he returned another piece to carry food back.

The beast-clan sniffed the food it was carrying, and seemed to like the smell of this dry food very much, twisting its chubby body happily.

Two more beast-clan came over, holding some animal bones, minerals, dried meat and other messy things, and also wanted to exchange with Gordon.

Gordon spread his hands, indicating that there was no more.

The two beast-clan immediately collapsed as if struck by lightning, lying on the ground, rolling around like a child.

"What's going on?" Gordon couldn't help asking An Xier.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Heta, who was communicating with the beast-clan over there, noticed the situation here and turned around, "The beast-clan likes to barter, don't underestimate their knowledge and intelligence.

Food for food, you have to be willing to take out good things, and they will also exchange treasures with you."

"Really?" An Xier raised his eyebrows.

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

Gordon Pork Chop and Heta both had a look of "As expected of you". This thing could be sold at a very amazing price in the Old World.

Even in the New World, high-quality medicinal materials are relatively easy to obtain, but they still need to be refined by high-level pharmacists or alchemists, and the price is still high.

The small size is portable and easy to take, and the effect is much stronger than ordinary recovery medicine. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is half a life that you carry with you.

Heta briefly explained the effect and value of the ancient secret medicine to the beast-entangled tribe. With the size of the beast-entangled tribe, one secret medicine can be divided into two or three portions.

When they were injured during the hunt, the beast-tangled tribesmen, who had no medical treatment other than looking for recovery honey worms, burst into joy and ran away, each going to get the treasure worth the deal.

The few who originally gathered around Herta and talked to each other all ran away.

"Have you learned any key information?" Anhil asked.

Herta stood up with a smile, "The social structure of the Beast Tangle Clan is very special. They don't have a clear leader like the Strange Face Clan or Detel.

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

The loose social structure makes it difficult for their tribe to develop and grow, and it is also difficult for them to pass on their history, but they can still live a good life.

Judging from what this group of orcs said, they seemed to be the only orc tribe on this plain, with a total population of only about fifty.

As for the establishment of diplomatic relations, things went smoothly. They were willing to cooperate with powerful hunters and promised not to attack our transport convoy. "

Anhil nodded, "That's okay. In this way, the mission is completed. Is it necessary to continue the cooperative hunting?"

"I agreed, so let's play with them." Gordon crossed his arms and said, "The reason why they proposed to cooperate in hunting is probably to show us their strength.

Understanding each other is the basis for cooperation. "

"OK."

At this time, the beast-tangled tribesmen who ran to get the treasures also came back one after another.

Gordon glanced casually and saw several valuable things.

Brilliant crystals, restrained dragon bones, unknown monster leather, etc.

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

"Why are there still living things? What kind of creature is that?" Ancier asked Herta, pointing to a beast.

It was a beautiful creature that seemed to only appear in dreams. The iridescent light emitted from its body was constantly changing like an aurora, and it was extremely beautiful.

However, it looked a little pitiful at this time. Several tassel-like tentacles were held in the claws of the beast, and it looked like a big kite being dragged away.

Herta frowned, "I have never seen a creature that looks like a jellyfish. It can float and fly in the air. Maybe it is a creature similar to the Flying Black Hat and the Moon Jellyfish?"

"Then this is it. It's very beautiful. Let's take it home as a pet."

Ps.

In the game, it seems that you have to capture the Moon Feather Heavenly Mother before you can exchange it with the Beast Tangle Clan? (Actually, I have never caught orz)
