Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1289 Penguin Secret Passage (One more chapter for leader 'Meow-chan Meow-chan Meow-chan')
(Finally added)

The snowstorm lasted for a long time, until the second half of the night, when the ghost-like howling of the wind gradually stopped.

Worried about the safety of his companions, Bingchuan appeared a little anxious.

However, as an excellent hunter on the ice field, it knew very well that some things could not be rushed, so it tried to force itself to fall asleep and wait for the arrival of dawn.

The time finally came to the next day.

The entrance of the ice cave was mostly covered by thick snow. It took some effort for the group to dig through the snow and get outside.

The sky was so clear without a single cloud. The bright sunshine was shining on the ice field. The snow and glaciers reflected the sunlight, making it so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

In order to protect their eyesight, Feng Ying and the others put on protective snow goggles, but Bingchuan just slightly lowered the brim of his fur hood.

As a native orc tribe, the Beastmen have long adapted to these.

"Tsk, this is a bit troublesome." Feng Ying smacked her lips as she looked at the thick snow covering the ground.

As she put the reins of the sled on Amber, she said, "Even if there is any smell left, it should be covered by the snow.

Do you remember where you and your companions were separated? Take us there."

Glacier nodded, jumped onto Amber's back, and began to show the way.

The sled sped across the ice field, and before long, they arrived at an area filled with icebergs.

"Isn't this the place where we discovered the expedition ship last time?" Feng Ying jumped off the sled and looked around.

"That's also a glacier area, but it's still a bit far away." After adding a few strokes on the map, Ai Bo said, "This is close to the western coast. Our people rarely come here."

"It's a sparsely populated area, and there are icebergs everywhere. It's a good place to hide." Feng Ying said to herself.

"Woo ba ya ba!" The anxious beast tribe jumped and urged.

Feng Ying and the others had no choice but to stop observing the environment and follow Glacier.

Along the way, on the edge of the ice cliff facing the sea, the glacier roared again, indicating that they had arrived.

Looking at the cracked ice cliff under her feet, Feng Ying's eyes twitched, "This place doesn't look safe. You guys just stand here, I'll go ahead and take a look."

Feng Ying carefully crossed the cracks of varying sizes and arrived at the edge of the ice cliff.

At this moment, another ice cliff not far away collapsed. With a loud rumbling sound, huge ice weighing hundreds or thousands of tons smashed into the sea, causing huge waves.

As the waves hit the ice cliff beneath her feet, a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound appeared. Feng Ying shivered with fear and stopped quickly.

This ice cliff has reached its limit. It would not be surprising if it collapses at any time. It may just be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Fortunately, my straw was not heavy enough. If it was Master Gordon, it would have collapsed, right?
Feng Ying calmed herself down and lightly tickled the Kinsects on her wrist with her fingers, letting them be ready at any time.

Then he carefully stretched his neck and looked below the ice cliff.

Below is an ice sea with a large amount of floating icebergs. Just below the ice cliff, there is a huge whirlpool.

If those beastmen with powerful names fell from here, they would most likely be sucked into the seabed by the whirlpool.

The chances of survival are slim.
I sighed in my heart, and suddenly I heard the screams of Ai Bo and the others.

"Feng Ying! Be careful!"

I clearly didn't sense any dangerous aura?
Feng Ying was confused, but still drew out her sword and turned around with a "swish".

Then I saw a few fat penguins walking towards me.

The sound of ice cracking rang in my ears again.

The last straw has come.

"F*ck! Go back quickly!" Feng Ying waved nervously at the fat penguins, shouting and trying to drive them away.

However, these fat waterfowl that had never seen humans did not seem afraid at all. Instead, they curiously lay down, with their smooth bellies pressed against the ice, and slid towards him like ice skating.

As an excellent ice hunter, Glacier certainly cannot let these stupid penguins interfere with the hunter's actions.

It pulled out a sharpened spear from behind.

"Wait"

Before Feng Ying could stop him, Bingchuan threw the spear out with a "Woo Ba!"

Its spear throwing skills are quite good. The spear made of polished hardwood draws a graceful arc and pierces the fat penguin that is jumping and sliding forward.

Then he missed.

This is normal. With the ballistic speed of a spear, in order to accurately hit a small moving target, in addition to technology, luck is more important.

But the Beast Clan's luck was obviously not very good.

Not only did the spear miss the target, but it fell into a palm-wide crack.

Affected by the impact, the speed of crack expansion further accelerated.

The collapse began.

Feng Ying's face turned dark, and she no longer cared about anything else. She turned around and ran wildly.

The ice cliff collapsed faster than she could run. Before she could take a few steps, her feet were empty.

Feng Ying immediately released the Kinsect, pulled the insect silk, and flew into the air twice in succession. Finally, she came to the edge where the collapse stopped. As she fell downwards, she reached out and grabbed the edge of the cliff in time.

Aibo and Amber hurriedly pulled her up.

Feng Ying, who had escaped death, lay on the ice and took a few deep breaths.

Then he jumped up, grabbed the glacier with an angry look on his face, and started to rub its belly hard.

Glacier was so itchy that he kicked his short legs and twisted around.

Ai Bo felt helpless. While Ren Fengying continued to vent her anger there, he tiptoed to the edge of the ice cliff.

A collapse just happened here, so there is no need to worry in the short term.

She looked down.

Staring at the huge whirlpool on the sea below the ice cliff.

"Huh?" She suddenly found something wrong.

Pull down the multi-function eyepiece, adjust the focus, and observe carefully.

The fat penguins that had fallen into the sea as the ice cliff collapsed not only had no intention of escaping from the whirlpool, but instead swam into the whirlpool and disappeared on the sea.

At the same time, more fat penguins staggered past them, lined up in a row, jumped into the sea below the ice cliff like suicide, and then dived into the whirlpool.

Could it be that the vortex does not lead to the bottom of the sea, but leads to somewhere else?
"Stop making trouble and come and take a look!" Ai Bo shouted.

Holding the twisting and struggling glacier under her armpit, Feng Ying trotted over. Looking at the fat penguins lining up to jump into the sea, she also realized something was wrong.

"It's interesting. Penguins are good at diving. If they just want to dive, there's no need for them to go into a dangerous whirlpool.

There might be some secret passage below, should we follow it and take a look?"

"It's too dangerous!" Ai Bo pouted.

"If it were dangerous, those fat penguins wouldn't jump one after another."

"People are not penguins!"

Just as the two were arguing over their differences, Bingchuan reacted and struggled to break free from Fengying's arms, leaped off the ice cliff.

The furry figure was sucked into the whirlpool in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

Feng Ying and Ai Bo were both stunned.

"Are you so brave?"

"What should we do now!"

"What else can we do?" Feng Ying shrugged. "If not for our companions on the glacier, we have to take a risk just for the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon."

Ai Bo knew that he couldn't beat Feng Ying, so he sighed and adjusted his goggles, "I hope nothing happens."

"Don't worry! How can we be worse than those fat penguins?" Feng Ying giggled, took a few deep breaths, and jumped down.
