Chapter 58 Moisture
Nearly an hour passed, and the weather never cleared up, but Gordon's mood actually became quite good. In his eyes, even the gloomy sky seemed a bit more lovely.
Finally learned how to move quickly in this mud!
However, compared with him, Oshura, who was leading the way, was in such a beautiful mood.
Huntress found that it was difficult to keep the distance between herself and Gordon. Of course, she could run faster with a lower load, but that would also consume more energy and was not cost-effective.
I’m not here for cross-country racing.
Oshula was sincerely envious of Gordon's learning ability.
She knew that unlike her, a hunter who had participated in a full training camp, Gordon was a traditional hunter who was trained by master and apprentice.
Many times, as long as the master is reliable enough, the traditional school can learn a deeper level of experience and knowledge, but when it comes to comprehensive abilities, the training camp school will definitely have the upper hand.
Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, but Gordon can quickly make up for his shortcomings through learning.
Take the footwork he just "stolenly learned" as an example.
This set of footwork was taught to her by an instructor who was good at wetland warfare. It was not difficult to learn, but she was also under the guidance of the latter at the time, and it took her several hours to gradually master it.
How can one be like Gordon, who imitates and practices at the same time, and learns well in a short time?
It's no wonder that this guy was promoted to two stars at such a young age. If you give him another year or two, maybe he should catch up with himself and be promoted to three stars, right?
The two of them had their own thoughts, but their pace did not slow down.
Gordon noticed that the terrain beneath their feet was gradually rising. Unlike the steep slopes in hilly areas, the **** here was very gentle.
Only when you look back and compare the way you came, can you notice the improvement in altitude.
But just this small height difference has caused the water area in this area to become less and less, the soil has become solid, and the environment is more suitable for the survival of woody plants. Not far ahead, you can already see the lush forest belt.
“Does it feel a bit like the dense forest over Metabe?” Oshura slowed down and turned around with a smile.
Even hunters with strong physical fitness will be tired from running for a long time with full armor. They need a short rest before entering the dense forest.
Gordon slowly stopped, took two deep breaths, nodded and said: "It's a bit, but I think the types of vegetation are different."
“Just notice this.”
Urshula tied her hair again and said with a slightly solemn tone: "The forest belt here belongs to the rain forest. There are more ferns, vines and broad-leaved plants than that of Metabay and the Xiuret Mountains. Be careful. Snakes and parasites.
I know you're comfortable in hills and jungles, but this is new territory, so don't let your guard down. "
“I understand, Senior Oshura.” Gordon responded obediently.
“How’s the condition of the pork chop!~”
When facing the pork chop, Urshula's voice became bold and bright again.
Pork Chop once again shook off the water droplets on his body, raised the ore cat pick in his hand high, and responded loudly, "It's okay, meow!"
"Eat something. After filling your stomach, we will go into the forest." After saying that, Oshula took out a piece of food and gnawed it hard.
Gordon and Pork Chop also took out food from their respective bags.
The same goes for the dried fish in the pork chop, but since it grew up in the wild, it doesn't care about this. It holds the moist dried fish in its little paws and gnaws it quickly.
In just over two minutes, they finished eating and drank a few more sips of water. Their full bellies were enough for them to cope with it for most of the day.
“About a kilometer away from the edge of the forest belt, there is a low rocky mountain with some small caves eroded by wind and rain, which are the best nests for the peach-haired beast group.
The geology near the rock mountain is relatively hard and the vegetation is relatively sparse. If we encounter the Peach-haired Beast King, we should try to fight there. The leafy rainforest is not suitable for me. "
With his stomach full, Oshula knelt down and drew a sketch of the nearby terrain on the ground with his fingers.
"OK."
Gordon agreed with Oshula's judgment, but out of curiosity, he still asked the question in his heart, "Senior Oshula, have you ever hunted the Peach-haired Beast King near that rock mountain before?"
“Yeah, three or four months ago, what happened?”
“After the death of a peach-haired beast king, the peach-haired beast group shouldn’t be able to support another one in such a short period of time, right?”
Gordon was a little worried that they would miss the mark.
Oshura smiled and said: "Then you underestimate the cruel ecology in the wetland. After the peach-haired beast group lost its leader, it was impossible to occupy the nesting land for a long time.
The nearby group of peach-haired beasts will come to take over this territory. Some of the peach-haired beasts in the local group will be killed or exiled, and some will be absorbed into the new group to form a larger group.
All in all, as long as there is a peach-haired beast group nearby, it is basically certain that the peach-haired beast king is also nearby. "
“Well, it would be great if we can find the target successfully. Let’s set off now?”
"while walking!"
Gordon nodded and entered the rain forest first.
As a swordsman, it is natural to lead the way and clear the way.
As Oshula said, this rainforest looks similar to the mountain forest over Xiuret, just as dense and full of green, but in fact the difference is not small.
He needs to spend more energy to be alert to the surrounding environment and avoid attacks by poisonous snakes and other creatures, so the speed is not very fast.
The lush and broad leaves protected them from the continuous rain, but the extremely high air humidity made Gordon and the others feel as if they were soaking in water all the time, stuffy and hot.
Suddenly, Gordon noticed something. He raised his fists while stopping, and Ursula, who was not far behind him, immediately stood on guard.
This is a bamboo forest, with countless thigh-thick bamboos pointing straight to the sky. Gordon discovered something strange near several of the bamboos - the land around the bamboo roots had obviously been disturbed, and there were a large number of traces of the claws of wild beasts turning over the soil.
Gordon knelt down and inspected it carefully, and found that the traces were still relatively fresh.
Oshula also came over. She glanced at it and said with certainty: "This is the paw print of the peach-haired beast. It should be the mark left when it came here to dig bamboo shoots to eat.
This kind of bamboo is very resistant to moisture, and there are many of them in nearby forests. Its young shoots, like mushrooms, are also a favorite staple food of peach beasts. "
“Looking for food? It seems like the peach-haired beast group is not too far away from here.”
“Well, these pink gorillas like to move in groups. Once we encounter at least two or three of them, we can clear out some of them first to save them from running out and causing trouble when we fight the Peach Hair Beast King.”
Oshula’s statement may seem cruel to some people, but Gordon, who is also a hunter, understands very well that they have no room to sympathize with monsters in a dangerous wilderness.
“Let’s follow the footsteps and have a look.”
