Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 434: Sight

Gordon and Pork Chop rested for a while.

I ate some food to replenish my strength, and drank a bottle of recovery medicine to heal some of the inevitable bumps and bruises I suffered during my previous escape.

"Pork chop, how are you? Are you ready?"

"It's not done yet, meow, wait a moment, meow!" Pig Chop kept tinkering with something there.

Gordon went over to take a look and found that the pork chop had taken apart several small incendiary bombs the size of oranges and containing viscous incendiary agents.

"Are you making something for lighting?"

"Yes, meow. It's too dark in here, meow. I can't even see clearly, meow."

"Isn't it too reckless to use explosives for lighting?"

"It's okay, meow. I will find a way to inactivate these burning objects, meow. Help me get some wood and sand, meow!"

"...I'll think of a way." Gordon scratched his chin.

Sand is not difficult to get. It can always be collected from the edges of the cracks and from the masonry shattered by the Misty Dragon's breath. Even if that doesn't work, there is a lot of dust on the ground around it. It takes some time.

But wood

Gordon glanced outside but did not see Lan Long.

It can be observed through the crack, and the viewing angle is severely limited. Only a small area can be seen. Gordon cannot confirm whether Lanlong has left.

His gut told him not yet.

Gordon licked his lips, came to the crack, glanced left and right, and spotted a half-broken small tree on the ground seven or eight meters away from the crack.

It should have been blown down from the soil on the outer wall of the ruins by the mist dragon's breath.

"Just right, let's test it."

Gordon took a deep breath, leaned over and rushed out of the gap.

Before he ran a few steps, he heard a strong gust of wind behind him.

Turning his head and looking back, Lan Long was indeed condescending, hovering in the air above the crack, but he couldn't see it from his previous viewing angle.

Several high-pressure water bombs were blasted out like cannonballs. The range of this attack was not as far as the Riptide Breath, and the coverage area was not as wide, but the speed was very fast.

Gordon rolled over in an emergency, narrowly avoiding the bombardment of a water bomb, reached out to grab a small tree, turned around and ran away.

Lanlong roared and swooped down, but it was still a step too late. Gordon, who was dragging the small tree with him, slipped into the gap in the blink of an eye, but it missed the target.

"Ugh——!"

Feeling that he had been tricked, Lanlong angrily wandered around the crack for a while. It opened its huge mouth and concentrated its breath, as if it planned to continue attacking the crack and break through the outer wall of the ruins.

But as soon as the breath was condensed halfway, it stopped abruptly.

Lanlong roared and rose into the air, tumbling irritably.

Hiding in the gap, Gordon, who noticed this scene, realized that Lanlong was indeed afraid of this ruin.

It was unwilling to damage the integrity of the ruins, and the breath that opened the crack before was purely because the flash bomb disrupted the line of sight.

Otherwise, with the power of Torrent Breath, it would not be too difficult to blast a hole in the outer wall of the ruins for it to enter and exit after a few more attempts.

"Hey, there are things that can scare you." Gordon laughed.

"Did Gordon forget that we are in the ruins?"

Gordon pulled out his knife, cut off the extra branches on the small tree in a few strokes, and threw the arm-long trunk to Pig Chop, "If there is only death anyway, it won't be scary at all."

"I still don't want to die, meow!"

"Ha, then we have to work hard to find a way to survive."

Pork Chop shook the tips of his ears.

It tore a piece of cloth from Gordon's cloak, wrapped it around the tree trunk, and then poured it with the sticky incendiary agent removed from the incendiary bomb to make a torch.

He mixed sand and sawdust into the remaining incendiary bombs, sealed them again, and put them away.

"Ready, meow." Pig Chop scratched the flint with his claws and lit the torch.

The space inside the ruins is very wide, and the light of the torch can barely illuminate an area of ​​tens of meters, and the edges cannot be seen at all.

Gordon took the torch and said, "Then let's start exploring!"

"Why do you feel like Gordon is so excited?"

Gordon paused. After being reminded by Pig Chop, he also felt that his mental state seemed a little too excited?

He took off his helmet and rubbed his face vigorously, "Maybe it's because of the Dino Tyrannosaurus' armor. The so-called 'desire to attack' is actually an impulsive emotion.

After slowly getting used to it, although no one wants to take a bite when we see each other again, everyone is, um, more excited and impulsive? "

"Wake up, meow!"

"Ahem, I'll try my best not to wear a helmet first. It will feel better without a helmet."

Gordon hung his helmet on his waist, took two deep breaths, and said, "Let's go."

"Which way to go, meow?"

Gordon thought for a while, "I remember that there was a way to explore a maze, which was to keep walking by touching a wall so that you wouldn't get lost.

Although this is a ruins, not a maze, we can still use this method and walk along the edge, and we will talk about strange situations. "

"I understand, meow. I hope the fuel is enough, meow."

Looking at the worried Pork Chop, Gordon took off its cat armor helmet and put his Dino Tyrannosaurus helmet on again.

"Meow meow meow?!"

"How are you? Do you feel refreshed?"

Pork Chop, who was scratching the Tyrannosaurus helmet on his head, was stunned and understood what Gordon meant.

"Feeling a little hungry, nya?"

"Illusion, you just ate, let's go."

"Meow"

One person and one cat deliberately gossiped, and this gloomy and dark ancient ruins did not seem so scary anymore.

After walking for a few minutes, Gordon and Pork Chop suddenly stopped.

There was no road.

Ahead was an abyss with no visible edge or bottom.

"It feels weird, meow." Pork Chop moved closer to Gordon.

"What's wrong?"

"I can probably feel the feeling that Lanlong is afraid of, meow."

Pork Chop's sight seemed to subconsciously avoid the endless pit in front of him, and his voice was a little shaky, "I feel a kind of indescribable terrifying sight, staring at meow."

"Sight?" Gordon frowned, "Is there really some kind of living creature in the ruins?"

"No, not meow." Pork Chop shook his little head, "I, I can't describe that feeling, meow, it shouldn't be a living creature, but it's just, there is a sense of sight meow."

Gordon patted Pork Chop's head to encourage it, then squatted down and stroked the ground at the edge of the pit.

"The edge is smooth and flat, not broken, which means that this deep pit is not collapsed, but a facility that already existed in the ruins." Gordon muttered to himself.

"We should be able to find stairs or passages leading to the bottom of the deep pit if we walk along the edge."

"We should go down meow?!"

Gordon said helplessly: "If there is another way to choose, I don't want to. We are trapped here by Lanlong, so we can only take a gamble.

Since the 'thing' in the pit didn't jump out to kill us, it should be unable to move, or it is not a movable thing at all.

If we can use 'it' to scare Lanlong away"

"No meow!" Pig Chop suddenly screamed a little nervously, "You must not get too close to that thing meow! You will go crazy meow!"

Although he didn't have an intuitive feeling yet, through Pig Chop's abnormal reaction, Gordon could certainly realize how ominous the things he might encounter ahead were.

"There is no other way."

Gordon looked at the torch, it should be able to burn for a long time, "Pork Chop, you take a rest first, I will go a little further."

"Well, well, well, well, I will go a little further too, meow."
