Chapter 931 Deter in the Jungle
"I'm here to play with you, meow. Come out meow."
Monroe, the orc researcher, paused the bone cane in his hand, looking very dissatisfied, "Louder, your voice is so low, you still want to attract Deter?"
"I'm so tired, meow!" Xianglan glared at the old scholar angrily, "I've been shouting for more than half an hour, my throat is hoarse, meow! How can I keep shouting loudly!"
Monroe choked and felt that what Xianglan said was not unreasonable, "Or you can change the way, the rest of the voice can be low, it's okay to talk to yourself, just shout louder 'meow', this should save some effort."
"But if you can't hear the words clearly, can Deter understand?" Osura expressed doubts.
"Deter didn't understand the common language of the Old World, but the emotion contained in that 'meow' is common, so in the end, the most important thing is actually that 'meow'." The orc researcher explained while stroking his beard.
Hayata and Oshura pursed their lips and frowned, but Az couldn't help laughing.
Xianglan looked like she had seen a ghost, and shouted angrily: "Then why do you keep calling me for such a long time?!"
The old scholar said slowly: "That's to make it easier for you to bring in emotions, otherwise you can just shout "meow" with the emotion of "I'm here to play with you, come out quickly"?"
Xianglan took a deep breath.
"Meow--!!!"
"That's not the right emotion, you're obviously cursing." The orc researcher shook his head and corrected seriously, "It should be more affectionate and more expectant."
"." Xianglan was so angry that she wanted to beat up this little old man who was not even as tall as her, but she could only think about it.
After Hayata comforted her with a few words, the slightly shrill cat cry echoed in the forest again.
After a while, just when everyone was considering whether to try another way, Monroe suddenly looked at a bush somewhere.
Seeing this, the hunters also stopped.
"It's finally here, meow!" Xianglan cursed with a hoarse voice, "My throat is about to break, meow!"
Hayata handed Xianglan a bottle of recovery medicine with honey as a drink, and Monroe turned to the bush and made strange movements.
He raised the bone staff horizontally, then slowly put it down, and then stepped back a few steps.
After a short silence, a brown figure emerged from the bushes.
This was the first time Hayata and his friends had seen the Detel tribe.
This beastman creature was about 70% similar to Elu, probably because it lived in the wild. It was a little skinny and had a thick circle of fluff on its neck.
Its tail was much longer than that of Elumelalu, and its earlobes were also pointed and long, with fluff at the end.
Az rubbed his chin.
He was sure that this Detel was not the one he saw yesterday, and the fur color was different.
Monroe exchanged a few words with the Detel in a language that others could not understand.
Then he turned around and explained to the hunters: "They are the insect cage tribe living in the area around the giant tree. I have come into contact with them many times and I am quite familiar with them."
After Monroe said this, Hayata and the others realized that the bone staff in the hands of the old scholar was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the Detel.
Perhaps it was a gift from the insect cage tribe to him.
"I asked it about what happened yesterday, but it couldn't explain it clearly. The Detel that came to you should not be a member of their tribe."
Oshura couldn't help asking: "Then why did it run here?"
"It told me that it heard a very miserable cry, so it ran over to see the situation."
"You are talking nonsense! It's not miserable!"
Everyone: "."
Such a result inevitably disappointed everyone, but at this moment, the Detel pulled Monroe's arm and said something again.
Monroe nodded suddenly and replied a few words in the language of Detel.
Detel finally nodded.
Xianglan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was surprised to find that it seemed to really understand some of it.
The orc researcher who had finished communicating began to translate, "It told me that the one who came to you should be an outsider, Deter, from the tribe west of the Ancient Tree Forest.
They had some contact, and said that the Deter seemed to be afraid of something and asked them to run quickly.
I asked it if it could take us to find the outsider, and it agreed."
The hunters looked at each other, and finally made progress.
At the suggestion of the old scholar, everyone took some dry food, dried meat, candy and other foods and gave them to the Deter as gifts.
For the orc tribe in the wild, food is always hard currency.
The Deter of the insect cage tribe looked very happy, and began to jump and lead the way.
In the forest, it is not easy to keep up with a Deter. If the Deter had not stopped from time to time to wait for them for a while, they might have lost it.
Just like that, the group trekked in the jungle for a while, and finally saw the figure of the outsider Detel in a tree hole formed by the tangled roots at the bottom of a big tree.
"That's it!" Az waved at the Detel, "Remember me?"
The outsider curled up in a ball in the damp tree hole, looking very depressed, was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and happily turned around Az's feet.
Monroe first thanked the Detel who helped lead the way, and after giving him some food, he watched the latter leave happily.
Then, the experienced orc scholar came to the outsider and asked about the situation.
Hayata and others couldn't help but feel emotional.
Mr. Monroe's research does not seem to be of direct help to the investigation team, but in fact, as one of the few people who can communicate with the indigenous intelligent creatures of the New World, how could it not be helpful?
While the two were communicating, Hayata also quietly observed the outsider in front of him.
Different from Deter, the insect cage clan who led the way before, the fur color of the one in front of me is light brown, with many black stripes and spots on its body. (cihua)
Should it be a female? The face is quite cute.
No, that's not the point.
This Deter is very thin and has dull hair. It has obviously suffered a lot recently.
As a native of the ancient tree forest, it should be relatively easy for an adult individual with no obvious disabilities to obtain food. It looks like this, most likely because it has no intention of foraging for some reason.
Sure enough, what happened?
As the exchange continued, Monroe's face became darker and darker. He stuffed the outsider with a sausage, urged it to eat, then turned around and said to the hunters:
"It's called fish roe, and it comes from the Yuzu tribe in the western part of the forest."
Aziz smiled and stuffed another piece of dried fish into Deter called Fish Roe, "I feel like this will be a tribe that we have a lot of fate with!"
Hayata gave Aziz a slightly warning look. Aziz put his hands together to apologize, closed his mouth and asked Mr. Monroe to continue.
"I have heard of this tribe, but have never come into contact with it. It is said that they live in the western part of the forest near the coast, more than two hundred kilometers away from here, and they mainly make a living by fishing.
But according to the fish roe, their home was destroyed not long ago.
The tribe's garrison was flattened, and the tribesmen suffered heavy casualties, but they didn't even see the attacker's face clearly, only saying that there was a bloody mouth that could swallow everything.
The elders of the tribe said that there were 'very powerful orcs' living here in the ancient giant tree, which should be us, so they sent some young tribesmen out to ask for help.
My idea is that I need to rush there as soon as possible to understand the situation. What do you think? "
"Of course I want to go!" Aziz looked very angry, as if he had some empathy for the Fish Basket tribe who were also "fishermen".
Urshula shrugged, "With Pterosaurus, it only takes three or four hours at most to cover more than two hundred kilometers."
"Then let's go." Hayata said with a smile: "Isn't that what our special investigation team does."
