Chapter 38 Search
The two of them retreated far enough to find a relatively wide open space, and finally relaxed.
Yu Yueming was fine, not tired, but he was a little nervous. Lu Songyan sat directly on the ground, and the muscles of his hands and feet twitched slightly, looking like he had exhausted his strength.
"I didn't expect it would be so difficult to walk without making a sound!"
She took a few deep breaths and sighed, her fingers tremblingly pulled out the kettle from her bag, took several sips before finally recovering.
Yu Yueming looked at the task countdown on the system panel and inferred the time: "It's already very late. Let's take a break today and go and see what the group of monster apes are in tomorrow."
"By the way, I found clues before." Lu Songyan continued, "There are some small holes in the stone wall of that space, and something seems to be placed inside. It's too dark and too far. I didn't see clearly, but the outline doesn't look like something naturally formed."
Yu Yueming recalled the layout of that space.
The area was basically round, with many holes on the outside, and a large stone wall on the inside. He seemed to have seen some small holes on the stone wall, but he didn't pay attention to what was placed inside.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Songyan curiously. Is this teammate so powerful in observing?
As if I understood Yu Yueming's doubts, Lu Songyan explained: "My observation ability was not that good in the past. I could only notice these details after learning the skills."
Skill?
Wait, can newcomers have skills? Isn’t it said that newcomers can’t use the store feature?
Yu Yueming suddenly felt something was wrong.
Lu Songyan didn't see his confusion this time and continued to say casually: "But your eyesight is better than I thought. For dogs, aren't they born with myopia?"
Yu Yueming hadn't figured out the problem just now, but was stunned by the new questions.
Myopia? He felt that his eyesight is much better now than when he was a human. But it is not surprising that he had discovered that he could distinguish colors before, which is different from ordinary dogs. I think this body itself is special.
The skills mentioned just now...
"Ask a pity, what is your player level?"
"Newbie investigators? They should be too. What's wrong, aren't you?"
Yu Yueming:...
He is not!
Moreover, he assumed that the teammates in this dungeon were all newcomers? Isn’t the result?!
...Forget it, if he really encounters a dungeon with a higher difficulty than normal, it wouldn't be surprising that his teammates have a slightly higher level.
However, they are all people who have upgraded the level of the player. The performance of passing the dungeon is not as reliable as Qi Yuanze, the previous pure novice teammate. How comfortable is the dungeon of normal difficulty? No, Qi Yuanze is not reliable, it is too reckless...
Yu Yueming's thoughts began to flow, and Lu Songyan noticed his abnormality.
“Are there any problems?”
Yu Yueming shook his head: "It's nothing. Let's talk about it after passing the level."
Although he doesn't mind exposing his player level, he should not disturb his teammates' mentality in the dungeon. Who knows if his teammates will think too much after hearing it.
"What is the specific skill?"
"You don't have the skills yet?" Lu Songyan asked in surprise, but didn't think much about it. He thought about the language and answered the question.
"How to say it is a skill, but it is different from the skills in the game. It is more like... knowledge, right, knowledge.
"My skill is reconnaissance. After redeeming this skill, my observation ability has been greatly improved and I can quickly detect abnormalities.
"When you exchange skills to the system, it is like you are suddenly instilled with relevant knowledge in your mind, and you will suddenly know how to apply this knowledge.
"It is not easy to explain with my skill. Let me give you a simpler example. If a person redeems the 'medical' skill, he will immediately gain medical skills that match his skill level, and instantly transform from an outsider to a skilled doctor.
"According to the introduction of the system, skills are generally divided into three levels: first, middle and high.
"After the skills at the primary level are redeemed, they are equivalent to ordinary-level professionals; intermediate-level skills are equivalent to masters among professionals; advanced skills are equivalent to top-notch standards in the world. My skills are only primary, and players at our level can generally only redeem primary skills."
Yu Yueming chatted curiously about the details of the skills, and then asked other questions.
"You seem to know a lot about dogs. Can you tell me some common sense?"
"I don't know it, but I know the basics. What do you want to ask?"
Yu Yueming thought for a while: "About food that cannot be eaten, and places that are different from human senses."
His dietary taboos for dogs in the past was to know that dogs should not eat more salt. Now that he has the opportunity, of course he should know more. After all, it involves his own health and safety, so he should pay more attention.
"This is the food that many people can eat, and dogs cannot eat. Common ones include chocolate, grapes, onions..."
They chatted for a while for a while, discussed the plan, and then took a break early to retain their energy for the next day's action.
——
The next morning, the two of them quietly approached the space where the monster apes gathered again.
Fortunately, although the road in the cave has changed, the space did not run away long. Yu Yueming successfully found the location of the space based on the direction in his memory.
The number of monster apes inside was much smaller, and most of them had left the gathering place early and went out to find food. The two of them waited patiently for a long time. When it was almost noon, the last monster ape in the nest finally left.
Yu Yueming detected the smell, turned his ears, and after confirming that there were no more monster apes around him, he waved his claws and signaled his teammates to start the action.
"It's there." Lu Songyan lowered his voice, pointed to the stone wall inside, and pointed out several locations, "The light here is not good, and my perception is limited, so I can only see these for the time being."
Yu Yueming lowered his head and sniffed around him: "Our action will definitely leave a scent that is enough to be noticed by those strange apes, so there is only one chance."
Lu Songyan nodded.
In order to speed up, the two searched separately. Yu Yueming approached a hole and saw the objects inside with the help of the glimmer of light scattered from the flashlight not far away.
That is human clothing.
Many already broken clothes were stacked in holes as big as washbasins on the rock walls, emitting a decay and unpleasant smell.
Yu Yueming patiently stretched out his claws and sneezed several times by the raised dust.
After the dust finally went down, he checked several caves and found that there were decayed belts, ropes, and rusty metal accessories.
The two of them counted around and looked for a lot of pieces, but they didn't find anything that looked like a clue.
Lu Songyan called out the flashlight and further sorted out the things he searched for.
Yu Yueming pressed the plane's ears and walked along the wall, sniffing and patrolling carefully, and occasionally stretched his claws to patrol the rock wall to see if there was any empty space.
