Jin's face changed as he heard Dean's words. He was about to propose using flames to disperse the monsters, but he swallowed back his words. He turned his head and patrolled around to avoid the monsters from sneaking in.
"Black, you will be on duty tonight. Sergei and Gwyneth will have a task tomorrow. Have a good rest." Dean said.
Scar nodded. He and Jin were at the bottom of the five. Even if Dean didn't say anything, he would have taken the initiative to invite them to patrol the night.
Sergei and Gwyneth didn't say anything. They leaned against the wall and closed their eyes to rest.
Dean also leaned against the concrete wall. His back rubbed a little and the powder fell down. After three hundred years, the solid concrete had been corroded by the endless rainstorm and extremely hot temperature. He couldn't help but think of the giant wall. According to the history books he had read in the library, the history of the giant wall could be traced back to three hundred years ago. However, it was still standing today. He had to admire the construction technology and materials.
The breeze caressed the weeds that grew in the ruins. The night breeze was slightly cold. It was accompanied by a faint fishy smell and the smell of plant juice.
The five of them sat in the darkness to rest. Jin was leaning against the shallow water. He pulled out his sword and held it tightly in his arms in case of a sudden danger.
Scar's expression was dignified as he patrolled the surroundings. He used his vision and hearing to the extreme to feel all the movements in the surroundings. With the help of the faint starlight, he could see the weeds fluttering in the night wind. It was like a demon dancing in the darkness. It was full of dangerous feeling.
The tense night passed in a blink of an eye.
Dean, Sergei and the others slept until dawn. They didn't encounter any monsters during the night. Of course, it wasn't entirely because of their good luck. Dean had chosen the location based on his sense of smell. They were far away from the monsters so they could avoid the possibility of encountering them.
Dean woke up when the sky was bright. He saw Scar sitting outside the stone shed and looking around. He didn't look tired at all.
He took out dry food and water to eat. At the same time, he woke up Sergei, Gwyneth, and Jin.
Scar was relieved when he saw Dean wake up: "Why didn't you sleep for a while?"
"I'm used to it." Gwyneth, Jin and Sergei woke up and ate their dry food. Sergei recovered their spirits after Dudian finished his food.
"Let's go."
Dean carried the dry food bag and led the way. Soon, the five of them returned to the location of the small cannon. The cannon was still isolated in the grass, undamaged by the monsters, and there were no footprints.
Dudian looked at Sergei: "You have a lot of experience. Do you know how to lure the monster?" If it was not necessary, he did not intend to expose his magic mark ability in front of them. Although they would be able to find out what kind of magic mark he had in the future, time could determine many things.
Sergei shrugged and said: "To put it bluntly, these monsters are no different from beasts. They are just crazier than beasts. It's very easy to lure them. Sound, smell, everything can be lured. Of course, if you know what monsters are nearby and what they like, then it would be even easier. But our team doesn't have any perception magic marks, so we can only rely on the most primitive method."
Dudian nodded: "The efficiency is too slow if we use sound. Let's use the smell of blood. Do you remember the monster we saw yesterday? Let's kill it first and use its blood to lure other monsters."
Sergei spread out his hands: "It's not that easy to lure those monsters out. They know where their slaughterhouse is so they won't come out easily. Moreover, most of these monsters aren't good at physical work. Their endurance is very poor. They only rely on one hit to hunt. So even if you provoke them on the shore, they won't come out to fight with you."
"If it doesn't come out then we will force it out." Dudian looked at Gwyneth: "You wait here. I'll go with Sergei. Gwyneth, if there is any movement remember to protect both of them. If you can't cope then escape to the exit and wait for us there."
Gwyneth looked at him and silently nodded.
Sergei saw that Dudian didn't give up. He sighed: "Why do I have to provoke such a troublesome thing? I hate hunting these things that drill in the soil." He complained and helplessly followed Dudian.
After a moment, both of them returned to the swamp basin from yesterday.
Dean's eyes scanned the swamp covered with aquatic plants. These aquatic plants were extremely dense. At first glance, he thought that the front was flat ground. Fortunately, there were no weeds growing on it. Otherwise, it would be easy to stray into the surrounding grass.
"How?" Sergei looked at Dudian.
"You are a senior hunter. Why are you asking me?" Dudian glanced at him.
Sergei said in a bad tone: "Anyway, I don't want to provoke such troublesome monsters. It's too dangerous."
Dudian didn't pay any more attention to him. He pulled out his bow and arrow. He looked at the basin for a few times. He held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand. He aimed at a place and shot the arrow.
With a 'pu' sound, the arrow sunk into his palm and suddenly stopped. At the same time, an extremely low roar suddenly came from inside. Immediately after, the water plants on the surface suddenly twisted, slightly swayed a few times, and then became still again. Only that arrow sunk into the water and disappeared.
Dudian could clearly see a huge silhouette emerging from above. It was about ten meters in length. Its appearance was similar to the crocodiles from the old era. Ten years ago there was a magic claw crocodile living in this place. Now the monster he saw was most likely a magic claw crocodile.
Sergei looked at the movement inside: "It's useless. If you attack it, it will feel pain and drill deeper. Have you seen an assassin that has exposed its figure? Will it roar and rush towards you?" Sergei said indifferently: "It's useless.
Dudian didn't speak. His eyes looked around and soon shot the arrow again.
There was another low roar. The arrow was nailed to the surface of the soil. However, it sank into the soil as if it was dragged into the soil.
Sergei sneered as he saw that Dudian didn't give up. He didn't speak but glanced around. His brows gradually wrinkled.
Dean stood on the edge and shot from time to time. Elite arrows were shot into the swamp. Some were directly submerged into the mud, indicating that the arrows missed. Some were shot into the mud, and suddenly he could see the movement inside.
Dudian's expression became more and more dignified. He didn't expect the number of monsters in the swamp basin to be more than he had imagined. There were at least twenty of them!
"It seems that we should change the first batch of hunting targets." Dudian put away his bow and arrows.
When Sergei heard this, his eyebrows twitched and said, "You want to hunt them down? Are you kidding me? You can't even lure one of them out, not to mention there are so many of them inside. If they all rush out, even on land, the few of us won't be enough for them to eat. I can't exert too much power right now. Who told you not to remove the steel nails for me? Otherwise, when I recover to my peak, I can easily kill these little things with my bare hands. "
"Don't brag." Dudian interrupted him: "Let's go back and inform Gwyneth and the others to prepare for the hunt. Let Gwyneth come over and wait for me to lure the monsters to the previous location."
Sergei replied: "Haven't you been luring them for a long time? But you haven't lured them yet."
"Who said that I was luring them?" Dudian glanced at him: "Why are you being so long-winded?"
Sergei snorted: "Alright, I'll see how you're going to lead me. I'll tell you in advance that I won't accompany you to death if you mess things up!" Then he turned around and walked away in big strides.
After he left, Dean retracted his gaze from the basin. He took out his sword and cut the yellowing weeds next to him.
