There is still a little time until dark. In order to find the missing persons as soon as possible, the team leader leads Shao Xuan out to take a look.
“I wonder if, after they left the cave, they went directly to the place where the water was collected.” The pair said Shao Xuan.
Though he knew the missing had gone to fetch water, he wanted Caesar to help him make sure.
“Okay." replied Shao Xuan.
In the cave, Shao Xuan asked people to bring what the missing person had used and let Caesar smell it, so Caesar remembered the smell of those three men.
Cheng and Mai each took more than a dozen people out with Shao Xuan.
“We tried to follow those things, hoping to find their nests, but after several waves, we found their holes different.” Narrator.
Go to Mai and ask them for help. One is to borrow Caesar and try to find someone. It would be better to know exactly which hole the missing person was taken to. Secondly, whether we can find them or not, losing three people all at once, the situation is still unusual, and we must seek help early, and the object of our quest is naturally their squad of wheat nearest to the hunting route.
Grow up and sigh and watch the wolf walk in front of you.
Caesar walked in front of the team, sniffing.
A distance from the cave was indeed a direct route to the water intake point, but on the way, Caesar stopped.
After observing Caesar's reaction, Shao Xuan said: "A man went that way. ”
Looking in the direction Shao Xuan pointed to, he shook his head, "There are no caves, no trees, no water, we don't usually go there. ”
“We haven't looked that way.” Shh.
In silence for a few seconds, he said, "Let's go get some water first.” There was only one person who left halfway, but all three disappeared, and what happened to the other two who went to the water point?
Where their hunting team picked up the water was a natural pool, not too far from their first stronghold cave, near the hillside.
“We usually collect water here, at least three people at a time. There is no very dangerous beast on the mountain. Even if we do, we can escape smoothly. I have come to fetch it several times. But this time it's different.” Pointing to the grass beneath his feet.
There are some pressed marks on the grass, which should have been pressed when the missing person fell, and a lot of the grass was straightened out. There are also knife marks and claw marks on one of the stones next to it.
Knife marks are missing fighters, claw marks are similar to those of the bats, and are bigger than the bats we've seen before.
If the missing fighters were taken from the air, no wonder the hunting team couldn't find them, because there were no useful clues on the ground other than here.
But being taken from the air, even Caesar, who has a much more sensitive sense of smell than man, is hard to keep looking.
“Check that out.” He said with some disappointment.
“Mm-hmm.” That's the only way.
Everyone turned back and went back to where the three men who had previously fetched the water were separated, where a soldier left. Caesar carefully identified the scent and took the crowd with him.
At first it was just on the hillside, and then it went up the hill.
“I remember that there were a lot of rocks in that area and it wasn't very good to go, we only came here once a long time ago.” Shut up.
And he looked around, and he said, "Sometimes there are signs of gazelles. ”
“Smells like blood.” Suddenly.
It's not just that, it's that Mac and the others smell it.
But the wind here is a bit chaotic, and it's not easy to tell accurately at one time.
The men continued with Caesar until next to the rock, where there was a corpse of an antelope.
The antelope had a lot of bite wounds, and look at the marks, because of the big bats. There was blood on the ground, but not much, and most of the blood was consumed by the bats.
If Caesar hadn't followed us, the hunting team would have had a hard time finding this place. After all, they rarely came here before, not to mention, the water collectors would have come here.
“He must have heard something, so he came after him.” Shh.
The person who tracked him down was the most powerful of the three people who got water, and he probably didn't expect that this part of the mountain would meet bats who were hunting their prey, and he folded himself in, and no one would die.
“The food that was eaten will not be taken away, it will be taken away, it has not been eaten yet.” Mike said.
It's better to disappear than to find a body, or at least to live.
They turned their eyes to Caesar, and saw him sniffing on the nearby ground, then walking a distance in one direction, sniffing again, looking at Shao Xuan.
“See, Caesar found something.” Shao Xuan said.
“Something on the ground? ”
Walk over quickly, fingers dirty on the ground in front of Caesar, sniffing carefully under his nose, frowns wrinkled, does smell a little, “What is this smell? ”
“Probably, those things... piss.” Shao Xuan said his guess.
“They pee? ”
“Well, those things eat too much and drain more water to make your body lighter and fly easier.” Shao Xuan said.
When he heard Shao Xuan, Mai and Cheng nodded and thought it made sense to say so.
With such a clue, the spirits of the people shook up and continued with Caesar.
Take it out of this large rocky area, there are not many trees around, then walk a distance, close to where the water is drawn, but not past, but continue forward.
“Those things peed all the way?” Asked.
“Probably along the way, but... there's also a human smell in there.” Shao Xuan said, relying on Caesar's reaction.
“What do you mean?” Cheng looked at Shao Xuan.
“In other words, the person caught may have been pissed all over.” Shao Xuan said.
They peed all over the body, and the water fetchers were dressed in furry veterinary coats that could suck some water and drip down the road.
The warrior was really unlucky, coming out of a hole to get some water, being snatched away by a bat, not to mention pissed all over. However, that is also why it is possible to leave a continuous clue.
The crowd followed Caesar, walking all the way up the mountain, sometimes the smell interrupted, and they had to expand their search area.
Look at the sky, Mac's a little worried, "If we keep looking, we may not be able to make it back before dark. I don't know if there are caves around. ”
“We rarely used to come here, but there were plenty of holes in those things, and we followed them to find plenty of holes, right here on this hill.” Narrator.
“Where are their holes?” Shao Xuan asked.
He lifted his fingers in several directions, "Those places are not on our hunting route, and many are unfamiliar. ”
Caesar has stopped and the smell has been interrupted again, and this time he may not be able to continue.
“What do we do?" I looked around, and there was a hill that was not very tall, surrounded by no trees, and there was only a piece of grass that was not dense.
At a glance around, I can't see anything unusual.
Shao Xuan stood there, and he felt that the totem in his head was a little active, and look at the others, it didn't seem to be the case.
Watch carefully the direction of the flame fluctuating on the totem. Shao Xuan looks over there. There is the mountain top, because it is not high, there is no snow, it is just a grass.
Shao Xuan lifted his legs and walked over there. McGuire saw, thinking that Shao Xuan had judged the orientation based on Caesar's performance, and then followed along.
Closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Shao Xuan's mind's totem became more active. In addition, Shao Xuan also heard sounds, such as the rapid flow of airflow, similar to the amplified exhalation.
“Uncle Mac, do you hear anything?” Shao Xuan asked.
“No... No, I think I heard it. It was those things. It's just not very clear. It should be too far away.” Mike said.
“I heard that too.” Cheng accelerated his steps and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Bats? Shao Xuan frowned, no, no, he didn't hear the bats.
The first people ran to the top of the mountain and suddenly stood there, motionless, as if they saw something terrible.
“Find out what?” The McNuggets also accelerated their steps and stood at the top of the hill at several landings.
Just like that, the others stayed.
In front of them is a large pit more than 100 metres in diameter and more than 80 metres deep.
The inner walls of the pit are not as barren as the rest of the hilltop, and inside it is like another world.
Several thick-thighed vines wrapped around each other and stretched down, with huge, umbrella-like blades. The inner walls of the pit were also full of plants, some of which blossomed.
“This is…”
Never came this way before. I didn't know there was such a big pit here. When they chased those things, they never walked to the top of the mountain.
Shao Xuan stood at the edge and looked down. The sun is still bright and bright enough to see the pit floor. However, there are fewer plants at the bottom of the pit than on the inner walls of the pit, and only some grass of unknown variety is distributed there in a monotonous fashion.
The totem in my mind was extremely active and the flames around the corners beat in a whisper.
Down there, something is attracting.
“There are several precious herbs down there, some of which I've only seen on the beast rolls there.” Shao Xuan said.
Mac glanced at the pair and said: "Let's go down first, you guys will see what happens later. ”
A few people, such as Mai and Cheng, went down along the vine to see if there was any danger in the pit, to visit the situation, Shao Xuanhe and Langa and others waited on top, see to it.
As Shao Xuan said, there are many good growing herbs in this pit, including the kind of plants they use to fight bat toxins, which is a pleasant surprise for the hunting team.
After roughly looking around, the people who turned up made a gesture indicating that they could come down, but to be careful, there is still uncertainty.
There are also some barbs on the vine that are not slippery, which is a good thing for everyone and makes it easier for them to move.
Shao Xuan went down with all of us, leaving Caesar only on top.
There are a lot of medicinal plants around the inner wall of the pit, so people cut off what they know as an emergency first.
Shao Xuan did not first pay attention to the rare medicinal plants around him. After the pit landed, the flame on the totem seemed excited.
