Chapter 1019 Uninvited Guests
(Sorry I forgot to upload--)
The three cats spent some time collecting a handful of crystal particles, packed them in a small leather bag and tied them tightly, and then continued to explore deeper into the cave.
In this light environment where the light is not too bright and the field of vision is limited, the most common way to explore is to randomly choose a direction and walk to the end, and then explore by touching the rock wall.
This kind of exploration is less efficient, but it is also the safest.
However, the hunting cats don’t need to use this method this time. There is still some smell in the air, and it is estimated that the Strange Face Clan has passed by in the past few days.
Their goal is to find the Strange Face Tribe, and there is nothing wrong with following the scent.
Pandan, who has the sharpest sense of smell and hearing, was the one leading the way. It took one step at a time and walked forward cautiously. Now it was the turn of Pork Chop and Sandstone to complain that it was too slow.
“Hurry up, meow.”
“What are you doing, meow?”
“It’s so noisy, meow!” Xianglan turned around and waved her paws angrily, “Be careful in unknown environments, meow!”
This reason is very reasonable, and Pork Chop Sandstone can't fault it, but Pandan's speed has indeed accelerated a lot, and it hates being treated as a coward.
They entered a passage and came all the way to another cave.
This cave is semi-open-air, so the sun shines in and is very bright.
They found that in this kind of open-air cave, the crystals in the rock formations were much rarer. Maybe it was because the energy was dispersed into the air?
Pork Chop asked Xianglan not to move forward in a hurry. The three cats searched the cave with sunlight for a while and found every crack that could lead to the outside world.
The gap is quite wide, allowing Gordon to enter while standing sideways.
So Pork Chop ran out and marked the outside of the crack so that if Gordon and the others wanted to come in later, they could enter through this side.
After confirming the new entrance and exit, the three cats continued to explore by following the smell.
They entered a downward sloping passage and came to an underground cave.
Perhaps due to differences in strata or other unexplainable reasons, the underground caves are lower and the number of crystals in the rock layers has also increased sharply.
If the dim light in the first cave could only allow the Elu to see the road clearly, then here, even humans without low-light vision can move normally.
Pork Chop hesitated for a moment and decided to stop exploring.
The terrain of underground caves is often the most complicated. If we continue forward, we don’t know how long we will go around. It’s better to go back to the camp first and come back with the hunters tomorrow.
On the way back, they did not follow the original path, but came to the outside world through the gap that allowed them to leave the cave, and then found their way back to the temporary camp.
The mountain road outside the cave is rugged. The journey was originally only about twenty minutes, but it took almost an hour.
It’s no wonder that the strange-faced tribesmen worked hard to dig holes and find that shortcut.
Just as he was thinking about the Qimian Clan, Zhupai, who returned to the camp, looked up and saw a Qimian Clan being **** like a ball of rope, twisting and screaming in front of the hunters. The ground seemed to be yelling something.
“Meow, meow, meow?!” Seeing Pig Chop and the others coming back, the hunters who were looking embarrassed finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hurry up and tell it we don’t mean any harm!” Gale urged, “We’ve been arguing for a long time and it feels like we’re going to kill it.”
“What, what’s going on? Meow?” Pork Chop was a little confused.
Why do strange-faced tribesmen keep breaking into my residence?
Hayata looked at the struggling Strange-Faced Clan and explained with a headache: "We went out to check the water source, and when we came back we found that this Strange-Faced Clan was rummaging through the supplies we left in the camp."
"Then before we said anything, it jumped up first." Gale took over the words dissatisfied: "Waking around with a stone knife.
Master Wilderness tried to communicate with it using gestures. It probably thought we were going to attack, so it had to crawl into the small passage.
We were afraid that it would find a bunch of companions and come back after running away, which would amplify the misunderstanding, so we had to catch it and tie it up first. "
“Uh, meow, meow, meow.”
Gale and the others described what happened from the hunter's perspective, but in the eyes of the Strange Face Tribe, things were probably different.—
Many things appeared beside the newly dug secret tunnel. This is a gift from nature!
While he was happily checking, a group of strange and scary-looking creatures ran in and surrounded him.
I was very scared and waved my weapon to try to scare away the other party, but the other party came close to attack me! You must run away immediately and tell your companions about the invasion of strange enemies.
Then he was caught and was about to be eaten! !

Based on what it learned during its time with the Strange-Faced Clan, this is probably what the Strange-Faced Clan thinks.
After all, they have no concept of "property". No matter what it is, whoever finds it belongs to the same person, or they will rob it.
It’s a pity that none of them can speak the language of the Strange Face Tribe, and this Strange Face Tribe obviously doesn’t know the Old Continental language either.
It is too difficult to resolve the misunderstanding between two races with different views through gestures and even guessing.
After telling everyone their thoughts, Gordon and the others didn't know what to say.
Ancil reminded him loudly, "That necklace of the King of Strange Faces, show it to him quickly!"
The reason why they are waiting for the pork chop to come back is because of this.
“Yeah, meow, I almost forgot about meow.”
Pork Chop came close to the strange-faced tribe that was struggling constantly and had blood stains on its body from the rope, and took out the necklace of animal teeth.
The Qimian tribe was stunned after seeing the necklace clearly, and immediately calmed down. Not only did they stop yelling, but they also chattered a lot to Pig Chop, but it was a pity that Pig Chop couldn't understand it.
The hunters looked at each other, and Gordon pulled out his knife and squatted down next to the Strange Face Tribe.
The strange-faced creature seemed to have lost its memory in an instant. Gordon's easily misunderstood behavior did not irritate it. Instead, it looked at Gordon longingly.
Its trust in this group of people suddenly increased to an incomprehensible level.
Gordon cut the rope, and the strange-faced tribe, who had regained their freedom, jumped a few times with joy and began to chirp again.
Anhil thought for a while, then he walked to the supplies, opened an ammunition box, and then took out an ammunition and loaded it into the ballista under the curious gaze of the Strange Face Tribe.
Then he pulled the bolt mechanism again and ejected the crossbow shells.
He tried to use this to make the Strange Face Tribe understand that these things were matching and brought by them.
But the Strange Face Tribe obviously failed to understand his thoughts. Instead, they cheered and jumped as if they had seen some interesting performance.
“How about inviting it to eat?” Sandstone suggested at the side.
Sharing food is the most direct way to express friendship between orc species.
It happened that Gordon and the others brought back a lot of freshly caught fish, so Pork Chop simply set up a barbecue grill and grilled the fish.
To the hunters, the atmosphere of this meal was somewhat strange. However, the strange-faced tribe enjoyed the meal very happily and even took out some unknown nuts to share with the hunters.
I can’t see the situation of life or death before.
After eating, the strange-faced tribe patted their stomachs and stood up, waving their hands vigorously as if to say goodbye.
The hunters also waved to it.
“Gaba!”
The Strange Face Tribe jumped on the spot twice, and after a final cheer, they ducked into the small cave and disappeared.
Gordon held the fish bone in his mouth and said with some uncertainty, "This is considered, is it okay?"
“I think so, I’m quite happy to see it.”
Anhil wiped his hands with a towel and said jokingly, "Maybe we will bring a large group of strange-faced tribesmen to eat tomorrow."
