Chapter 1018 Shining
Hunters gathered around the small hole.
As long as they see this cave entrance, no one will think that the people who left marks on the inner wall of the cave entrance are humans.
Not to mention hunters, stronger hunting cats like Pork Chop Sandstone have to take off their cat armor before they can squeeze in. If they want to turn back, they may get stuck.
From this point of view, there is a high probability that the mark was left by an orc tribe such as Detl or the Strange Face Tribe.
As for the meaning of the mark.
At any rate, the sandstone that was wild Deter not long ago is unrecognizable, considering that the Deter language living in all parts of the New World is roughly the same.
That is basically certain that it is the mark left by the Strange Face Clan.
Everyone’s expectant eyes fell on the pork chop.
Pork Chop really wants to say that it doesn’t understand the Qimian language at all. Even when it communicates with the King of the Qimian clan, it uses the language of the Old World.
But it was too embarrassed to live up to everyone's expectations, so it bit the bullet and stuffed its head into the cave to take a look.
In the end, it really showed some clues.
Pork Chop pulled out his head, shook it, and said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be a road sign left by the Strange Face Tribe, meow.
They use similar markings to show the way or to tell their companions their whereabouts. "
As he spoke, Pig Chop took out his little notebook and showed everyone the mark of the King of Strange Faces that he had copied in the Grand Canyon.
The two are indeed very similar, except that the mark in front of them is not as complicated as the King of Strange Faces.
"In other words, this passage can lead to some places? Otherwise, there is no need for the Strange Face Tribe to leave a mark here."
After Gordon made a guess, he looked at the old man and said, "Master Yuanye, do you have any clues?"
Yuanye pondered for a moment, "The crust in the northern part of the New World changes quite frequently, so there are many underground caves of staggering scale.
There are many forked paths in these underground caves, which are like a maze and it is easy to get lost, so we rarely enter them.
If you guessed it correctly, this small cave leads to an underground cave somewhere.
It’s strange that this hole didn’t exist when we camped here before. It must have been newly dug by the Strange Face Tribe. "
"It's also possible that those little guys really like to drill in and out." Gordon looked at the others, "Do you think we should let the hunting cats go in to explore, or should we find a big stone to block the hole?"
Zhupa raised his hand, "I want to explore and see Meow. Maybe I can meet the local strange-faced tribe, Meow."
With this necklace given by the King of the Strange Face Clan, the Strange Face Clan will get along well, and they may be able to help us! "
Gordon thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense. It's not too early now. We will only look around for a while and won't go far.
You can take this time to go explore, but don’t go too deep to avoid getting lost. "
Pork Chop looked at Pandan and Shayan, "Do you want to go down together?"
“Go meow!” Xianglan was always very curious and immediately expressed her desire to go with her.
“I’m going to meow too.” Sandstone also likes to take risks, but its thick dog-like cat armor and large protective shield will get stuck in the hole.
With no choice but to take off his armor and shield, he entered naked.
Pork Chop also took off his cat armor and only carried a cat sword on his back. However, the petite Pandan could get in and out freely, and the three cats got in one after another.
"Let the little ones play by themselves. I will take you to a nearby water source."
Master Yuanye smiled and said to the hunters: "Although the northern part of the continent is barren, there are many springs and underground rivers. There are also fish in the rivers, which can be regarded as a relatively stable source of food."
The hunters left the camp to fetch water for fishing, while the hunting cats dug deeper and deeper into the small caves.
There are a lot of excavation traces in the cave. The traces are relatively new and should have just been excavated a few months ago. Compared with naturally formed caves, artificially dug caves have at least one advantage, that is, you don’t have to worry about encountering a narrow area that is completely impossible to pass.
The Strangemen are smaller than Ellu, but they have masks, so the narrowest part of the tunnel they dig is wider than the mask. Unarmored pork chops and sandstone can always squeeze through.
Huddled up and crawling in a low cave, it was not very comfortable. Fortunately, it didn't last long. After the cave extended for a while at a relatively horizontal angle, it suddenly became steeper.
Pork Chop, who was crawling at the front, was about to stop when his buttocks were lifted by the sandstone crawling behind him, causing him to slide down with a scream of "Meow--".
Sha Yan was stunned and a little at a loss.
Fortunately, a few seconds later, Pig Chop's cry came from the end of the cave, "It's okay down there, meow! It's safe down there, you can just slide down, meow!"
Sandstone breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered in Deter's language, "I almost thought I killed the pig."
“What are you doing here, meow? Come down quickly, meow!” Xianglan stretched out her paw and pushed hard behind it, and the sandstone screamed and slid down.
Hearing the "meow" that quickly disappeared, Xianglan shrank her neck.
It is a little timid.
“Why don’t you go back, meow?”
Pork chop, who was waiting at the exit of the cave without seeing Pandan come down for a long time, immediately guessed what this guy was thinking.
It and Sandstone looked at each other and took a deep breath.
“Courage! Little! Ghost! Meow!”
“Meow Meow!!” The sandstone exporter who had specially practiced “taunting” and was angry with Xianglan’s push just now was very aggressive.
“Come down quickly, meow!” Pig Chop continued to urge.
Shayan's tone was even more full of disdain, "Forget it, meow, he doesn't dare, meow, let him go back by himself, meow, let's go, meow."
Sandstone's taunting effect is very good, especially for the good-faced Pandan.
There was a sliding sound immediately in the passage. A few seconds later, Xianglan jumped up after sliding out of the passage. She yelled with her teeth and claws open, "I'm not a coward, meow! I'm just adjusting my posture, meow!"
Pork Chop and Sandstone looked at each other again, shrugged in unison, ignored Xianglan's excuse, and looked at the cave they were currently in.
Judging from the height from which he just fell, this cave has not yet gone deep into the ground, but is located in the mountain. In other words, the mountain where the camp is located is hollow.
The top of the cave is closed, no sunlight penetrates, but it is not too dark.
On the ground, there are many bright crystals scattered in the rock walls. These crystals emit a hazy light and provide basic lighting for the cave.
“She’s so beautiful, like a star.” Xianglan’s eyes were shining.
It lacks resistance to good-looking things.
Pork Chop was much more pragmatic. It stretched out its paws and scratched the ground for a while, pulling down a few crystals the size of rice grains.
These crystals are silver in color, shining with a metallic luster, but the texture is not like metal. When gently turned, they will emit a colorful halo.
Shayan came closer and sniffed, "It feels like it contains some kind of energy, meow? I wonder if it can be used as a weapon, meow."
“Look at meow bit by bit.”
Pork Chop placed the crystal particles on the ground, took out some gunpowder powder from his bag, sprinkled a little bit on it, and then created sparks to ignite it.
The flames "jumped" up, but this was just the effect of the explosion of gunpowder. The fine crystals did not change, and were neither burned black nor ignited.
“It’s a pity meow”
“Don’t think of using everything as explosives, meow!”
