Chapter 970 I want to beat ten cats!
With curiosity in my heart, I eat much faster.
The last piece of sashimi was not even grilled. The pork chop was cut raw and divided among everyone. After a brief cleaning and tidying up, the group walked in the direction pointed by Pandan.
After walking like this for a few minutes, the tiny sounds became clearer and clearer, and the faint "meow" sound mixed in with it proved the source of the sound.
“This is it, meow!” Xianglan, who was leading the way, stopped.
However, as far as the eye can see there are only narrow caves and countless stalactites.
The two men and the two cats looked up at the same time. The sound came from above, which meant that they had indeed reached the location of the sound source, but it was on the ground and they were underground.
“Meow—.” Zhupa looked sideways at Xianglan.
Xianglan wanted to argue, but Gordon made a quiet gesture.
He took off his wrist armor, wiped the wet stalactites beside him, and then raised his fingers to feel it for a while.
"It's windy, although not too strong." Gordon looked around and said, "There should be an entrance to the ground nearby. Let's look for it."
“I’ll just say meow!” Xianglan put her hands on her hips and stretched out her belly, “I won’t lead you the wrong way, meow!”
“It’s just good luck, meow.”
The group of people searched for a while and finally found an upward passage.
In the narrow place, Gordon and Hayata could only move forward on their stomachs. Although they suffered a little bit, they finally returned to the ground and did not have to turn back and take a detour.
The other end of the passage leads to a wide and flat stone platform.
This kind of large reddish-brown sandstone can be seen everywhere in the Big Ant Mound Desert. In the center of the sandstone platform, a group of Deters with mainly black hair were gathering there, not knowing what to do.
Hunters did not rush out of the passage, but let Pork Chop and Pandan go over first to get in touch.
Detel in the wild is more alert and cautious. To put it more directly, it is timid. When seeing a large unfamiliar creature approaching, it is easy to run away in panic.
Elu, who has a similar body shape and appearance, should be better.
Two Ellu climbed up the stone platform. They did not hide their whereabouts and were quickly discovered by the Deters.
The Deters suddenly became nervous, but did not run away.
Several relatively strong Deters held up large shields that resembled animal faces and blocked the front, while other Deters set up bone staffs and cooperated with each other to establish a line of defense.
From a distance, Gordon, who was peeping with a telescope, was a little surprised, "Oh, that's very brave. Is this the 'Guardian Clan'?"
“It feels a bit like the army.” Hayata also sighed with emotion.
Pork Chop and Pandan quickly raised their paws and stopped to show that they had no ill intentions, and the Detel gradually calmed down.
An extraordinarily strong Deter meowed, signaling his companions to put down their weapons, and then took the initiative to step forward.
“Ni Men, Shi Ta Lu Meow?”
Hearing that the other party could actually speak the lingua franca of the old continent, Zhu Ba breathed a sigh of relief, which made communication easier.
Thanks to Mr. Munro who is committed to spreading the lingua franca!
“It’s Meow, this is Pig Chop Meow.”
“It’s Xianglan Meow!”
Detel pointed to himself, "I am Sandstone Cat."
"Why do you live in a place with such strong sunlight, but your fur color is black? Won't you die of heat?" Xianglan asked curiously.
Then he turned around in a circle and showed off his shiny hair, "I was born in the desert, so the beautiful silver hair can help reflect the sun!" (Note)
Detel, named Sandstone, looked at Pork Chop in confusion. Pandan just spoke too fast and the content was too complicated, so it didn’t understand.
Pork Chop covered his face, "Don't pay attention to it, meow."
“What’s the matter with Nimo?”
“I was just passing by and heard the excitement here, so I came over to see Meow.” Knowing that the other party was not fluent in Common English, Zhupa deliberately slowed down his speech, “We have two companion Meows, can we ask them to come over?”
“Tongbanmiao? Keyimiao.”
With permission, Pork Chop turned around and waved his paw at Gordon and Hayata who were hiding in the distant passage.
The two of them walked out of the hiding place and came this way.
Shayan was stunned for a moment. He thought that Pork Chop’s companion was also Elu, but he didn’t expect that he was a human being.
Some Detel who had never seen humans became panicked, and Sandstone meowed at them a few times to signal them to calm down.
Fortunately, the people in the investigation team had never done anything to hurt Deter before, and they were greeted by Pig Chop in advance, so no further commotion was finally caused.
In order to avoid scaring these little guys, Gordon did not even dare to wear a helmet. He and Hayata raised their hands in front of them and did not get too close to show that they were not a threat.
The scene is a little embarrassing.
Sandstone raised the bone staff in his hand, "Yanwu Meow, this is the traditional Meow of the Women Wasteland Guardian Clan. Meows will compete like this every time." As he said this, he looked at the pork chop carefully and it was no less good. Its physique, the armor on its body, and the weapons on its back were all very interesting:
“You are also a warrior, meow? Do you want to come and compete, meow?”
Pork Chop blinked, "Is that okay, meow?"
"I want to participate too, meow!" Seeing that the other party didn't mean to invite her, Xianglan was a little angry. She jumped in front of Sandstone and asked, "What's the reward for the champion, meow?"
Shayan tilted his head, "Reward meow? There is no reward for meow cats. Just the strongest Detel cats in the clan are allowed to hold a large protective shield."
It picked up the large beast-faced shield beside it, "It's this meow after all."
“It looks so ugly, meow.” Xianglan muttered.
“What did you say?!” Sandstone’s mane stood on end.
Xianglan quickly changed her words, "I said she looks so heavy!"
“Meow meow meow meow! Queshi is very serious meow!”
Pork Chop wants to sew Pandan’s mouth shut. This large protective shield is obviously the pride and even totem of the family’s guardian clan. How can it be called ugly?
Although it is indeed ugly.
“You want to come and compete, meow?” Shayan looked at Pig Chop again, “I am the strongest warrior in the clan, meow. As long as you beat me, you can ask the chief to give you a big shield, meow.”
“You just want to compare with it?” Gordon, who was sitting watching the show, said with a smile.
Although he was not interested in the ugly and heavy shield, Pig Chop did not hate the competition and was about to agree.
“I’m even better than a meow!” Xianglan’s eyes were filled with anger as she was ignored again.
Sandstone scratched its ears, feeling a little helpless. It pointed at the kin behind it, "It's also a meow. Why don't Danny fight with them first to see how they can meow?"
Pandan's size can only be considered average among Ellu. According to the concept that the bigger the wild Detel is, the stronger it is, so it is relatively weak.
The veins on Xianglan’s forehead were beating wildly, but the caution (coward) in her nature made her decide to play it safe.
Thedetel's would be amartial arts master ifeveryone inthe group is a master of martial arts, wouldn't it be embarrassing ifhe gets beaten badly?
So he picked up his little paws, raised his chin and said to the group of detel: "You guys hit me first, and let me see how good you are."
Hayata: "."
Sandstone didn’t care, and signaled the two Deters, who had just been interrupted in the middle of the competition, to continue the previous competition.
Other Detel immediately stepped aside to make way for a clearing. This time, not only Pandan Pork Chop, but also Gordon and Hayata came over curiously.
The martial arts competitions between the Deters are not something that can often be seen.
The two Deters approached each other and bowed to each other. Then they raised their bone staffs and stared at each other, waiting for the referee's order.
“Hey, is it very ceremonial?” Gordon said to Hayata with a smile: “Why does it feel a bit like the etiquette before your Taishou swordsmanship competition?”
Hayata was obviously a little confused, "Indeed, I don't know if it's a coincidence or who taught them."
"Meow!"
Following the referee's order, the bone staffs in the hands of the two Detel clashed together.
This attack was evenly matched, with no one taking the lead, and a new round of ping-pong-pong followed.
The Deters were playing lively, and there was a hint of surprise in Gordon's eyes.
Obviously, these two Deters are not wielding weapons randomly, they really have the concept of "martial arts".
Although it is relatively simple and primitive, with no complicated moves, the technique of exerting force and the angle of swinging the bone staff are somewhat particular.
But as they waved their bone staffs faster and faster, their center of gravity began to become unstable due to the long-handled weapons, and their pace became even more messy.
At this point, it’s all about reaction speed and strength.
Finally, one of them swung the bone staff and failed to defend himself in time. He was hit on the head with a stick by the other one and fell down dizzy.
The victory or defeat is divided.
“Meow meow meow~!” The Deters were cheering for the winner.
“Meow, meow, meow!” Xianglan was also laughing wildly with her hands on her hips.
It jumped into the center of the field and said in an arrogant tone: "A meow at this level? I can beat ten meows!"
Most of the Deters couldn't understand what it was saying, but they could hear the disdain in its tone, and they all turned their gazes over.
Xianglan, who realized something was wrong, shrank her neck and said, "I'm sorry, meow, I'm just kidding, can I give you two?"
Looking around, he noticed that several burly Detel, including Sandstone, who was carrying a large shield, were also looking at him, and he quickly changed his mind again.
“It’s better to forget it, meow, just fight one on one, meow”
Ps. Note: In the previous plot, it was written that the pork chop went to the volcano and the color of its fur turned black when it was too hot. Some readers reminded Siamese cats that they turn black when they are cold, so it was revised.
I remember seeing a duel between Deters somewhere in the camp of the Guardian Clan. Two Deters struck each other with bone staffs. It was quite interesting.
