Chapter 933 Pickled Cucumber
We rested for one night in the treetop camp of the Fish Basket tribe.
On the second day, the hunters planned to investigate the mysterious monster suspected to be a Tyrannosaurus.
Monroe, the orc scholar, was left in Deter's camp.
Regardless of whether the target is a Tyrannosaurus or not, monsters that can hunt the Brute Jaw Dragon are extremely dangerous. In the next investigation, the old scholar can't help much, so there is no need to let him take risks.
Monroe did not reject this arrangement.
He had no interest in large monsters like Tyrannosaurus, and the ecology and culture of the orcs were his research targets.
He seemed to be chatting happily with the leader of the Deter, Fishbone, and seemed to be preparing to teach the Deter to speak the common language of the Old World.
If the common language can really spread among the orc tribes in the New World, it will be convenient to communicate with them in the future.
"Check the equipment and props for the last time." Hayata reminded his companions.
After quickly completing the inspection, the three people and the cat slid down the rope from the treetop to the ground.
Just as the hunters were about to set off, a small figure landed beside them.
It was Yu Zi.
Hayata and the others looked at it in surprise.
Yu Zi gestured and meowed a few times.
Xianglan roughly understood and translated, "It wants to meow with us. It is more familiar with the forest around here."
Hayata hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Xianglan, you take Yu Zi and explore two hundred meters ahead, leave marks along the way, and report back if you encounter any situation."
"Okay meow."
"Meow!"
Elu and Detel nodded in unison and went into the woods.
Hayata looked back at his companions, "Column, I'll lead the way, Osura in the middle, Az in the rear, the distance can be looser, stay alert throughout the journey, and set off."
The hunters ran and chased Elu and the others who were exploring the way ahead.
Not long after they moved forward, the hunters found many traces in the woods.
Just as the leader of Deter said, the monster rushed around, and some trees with trunks more than one meter in diameter were broken. It was most likely its masterpiece.
Unfortunately, there has been a lot of rainfall recently, and these broken tree trunks are wet, leaving no smell, and even the guide insects can't smell it.
The thick fallen leaves and soft humus soil can't leave clear footprints, making it difficult to track them in a targeted manner.
After wandering aimlessly in the forest where the mysterious monster appeared for more than an hour, the hunters still didn't make any breakthrough discoveries.
But they didn't dare to relax their vigilance at all.
The air was always filled with the kind of frightening dangerous atmosphere, and the slightly larger animals in the forest were indeed gone.
Although the existence of birds and insects prevented the forest from falling into complete silence, the trees were still lush and green, and everything seemed to be full of vitality.
But they knew that the surrounding ecosystem had been severely damaged.
The original ecosystem seemed to be bitten by an invisible giant mouth, and the middle and upper creatures completely disappeared.
The subsequent impact and chaos will gradually manifest.
Hayata, who was leading the way ahead, heard some noises, stopped, and raised his fist to signal his companions to stop and be alert.
There was a rustling sound, and the Oshura crossbows were set up, but two cat heads came out of the bushes.
Xianglan and Yuzi, who had been exploring the way ahead, ran back, and they must have discovered something.
"We found the traces, meow! Come with us, meow!"
"Meow~!"
Xianglan and Yuzi looked very happy, and they shouted and turned to lead the way. The hunters followed closely, and the group came to a rock wall covered with vines and moss.
Hayata looked up at the top of the rock wall. There was a very conspicuous scratch mark eight or nine meters above the ground.
Not to mention the moss attached to the rock layer, even the hard rock itself was rubbed off a large piece, and there was some mucus suspected to be saliva, and broken sharp teeth stuck on the rock wall.
Hayata narrowed her eyes. She had seen such marks before. "It can be confirmed that it is a Tyrannosaurus. When a Tyrannosaurus grinds its teeth, it will leave such marks.
The saliva on it has not dried yet, and the marks are still fresh. That guy should not be too far from here."
As she said, Hayata raised her hand and launched a rope. After fixing it on a protruding rock, she quickly rose to the side of the mark, pried off a piece of broken teeth with a peeling knife, and put it into the guide insect cage.
These broken teeth still sticking with corrosive saliva have a strong smell. The guide insects reacted almost immediately, flying out of the insect cage with a "whoosh", flying in a certain direction, leaving a conspicuous light path in the air.
Hayata fell back to the ground and said to her two companions: "Since it is confirmed to be a Tyrannosaurus, there is no need to apply for additional treatment. Rest on the spot and prepare for battle."
Monsters like Tyrannosaurus are too destructive to the ecological environment. Once its existence is confirmed, teams capable of conquering it can decide to hunt it on their own.
When the guild receives the news, it will also issue an emergency task to conquer it as soon as possible.
In fact, not only hunters, but also creatures in nature will spontaneously kill the eggs and cubs of Tyrannosaurus.
In order to survive, before growing up enough to protect itself, Tyrannosaurus will carefully hide itself. Because of this, no one has witnessed the juveniles of Tyrannosaurus so far.
How this creature reproduces and grows is still a mystery.
Several people found a place to sit nearby. Hayata asked while chewing the food he brought with him: "Tyrannosaurus is not an ordinary opponent. Are your weapons and ammunition types suitable? How much ammunition do you have?"
Oshura patted the ammunition belt on her chest, "There is enough ammunition. I remember that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is weakest to dragon and thunder, and other attributes are also effective, right?
It's a pity that I didn't bring dragon-killing bullets, but I brought a lot of flame bullets, a lot of normal bullets and penetrating bullets, and some armor-piercing grenades."
She used the Phoenix Fire Dragon Cannon on this trip. This is an excellent light crossbow that almost every four-star or above light crossbow user will make, and it is very versatile.
Az turned sideways and showed the blue spear and big shield behind him, and said with a smile: "My Thunder Gun Doris (Sea Dragon Spear) happens to have lightning attributes, so I can show my skills!"
Oshura couldn't help but complain, "Seeing that you have been carrying this thunder attribute spear, you won't use it to stab fish, right?"
"You guessed it!" Az said with a smile, not sure if it was a joke.
"I use a physical sword, so it doesn't matter what I do." Hayata also showed her Scythe of Inscriptions, and the strange shape aroused the curiosity of her two companions.
The three of them quickly finished eating and rested for half an hour to adjust their condition to the best.
"Have you all rested enough?" Hayata stood up and moved her joints.
"No problem!"
"Full of energy!"
"Very good, let's."
"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"
Hayata, who was about to shout "Let's go", was interrupted by a heavy sound of footsteps coming from far away.
The guide insects flying in the air and forming a light path seemed to be stimulated by something, turning into red light spots and flying back to the guide insect cage.
"Are you attracted by the smell of 'food'? There is no need to track now." Hayata calmed down and put his hand on the hilt of the Scythe of Inscriptions, "Get ready for battle."
Az bared his teeth, quickly drank a bottle of hardening medicine, set up his spear and shield, and came to the front of the team.
Oshura also pulled the crossbow to load the gun, and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the footsteps.
"Roar!"
Amidst the terrifying roar filled with endless madness, the pitch-black beast smashed the trees and rushed out from the shadows of the forest.
