At the same time (?), in the Dawn Region, in the central temple of Lviv.
"Hmm..." Albert slowly opened his eyes, and the muscle pain all over his body did not relieve much. He found that he was lying in a small pool. The so-called small pool was naturally a stone shelter.
The stone bed was converted into a temporary bed to protect against the intense heat of Lviv.
He tried to recall what happened before he fainted, and then remembered that the last moment he closed his eyes, the Insect Queen had fallen into the lava pool, and there should be no way to stand up and fight again. After defeating such a huge Insect Queen, Ai
Albert himself was exhausted, so before he fainted completely, he activated the automatic navigation system on the cavalry, allowing the cavalry to return home automatically and return him to the Central Temple of Lviv.
Judging from his current departure, everything should be going well. The Warcraft hunters who stayed in the central temple probably rescued Albert from the iron horse and carried him unconscious back to this small room to rest.
.
There are still faint sounds of fighting outside. Since there is still fighting, it means that the Central Temple has not fallen yet, and the hunters are still fighting against the army of Warcraft outside.
Albert breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is safe here for the time being, it is so hot. Even if you soak in the pool to cool down, the heat is still unbearable. The tiger man youth is thinking about whether to sprinkle some frozen rosin in the pool to cool down, but the stock of that
We are already in a hurry, and the remaining bit must be reserved for use in the battle. Now we can only endure.
"Meow~?" Something was calling. When the tiger looked up to see what was going on, the tiger-striped kitten had already rushed into the room, jumped onto the water bed, and pressed on the tiger's chest.
"Mutt meow." Albert knew that this kitten was actually transformed from a cat boy, so he gently touched the kitten's head: "You are so relaxed. After you become a cat, you don't have to worry about meowing."
Already."
"Meow~" The kitten then licked Albert's cheek affectionately.
One thing is for sure, the one controlling this kitten's body is definitely not Mut's ontological consciousness. There is absolutely no way that kid would lick Albert's face so boldly.
"Oh, you are here--" Nina the Black Rabbit poked her head in from outside: "And stupid...Mr. Albert has also woken up, okay."
"Why do you let him run around?" Albert said, because he had asked Nina to take care of this kitten before, and now he saw that the kitten Mutt had turned into was in Livor, where there might be monsters everywhere.
My husband was running around in the central temple, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"And you didn't lock the door securely. If a monster broke in while I was sleeping, wouldn't I die unjustly?" Tiger complained again.
"Because the Central Temple is still suspended in the air, except for flying monsters, I don't think any monsters can get close to here." Nina defended: "And no, the monster hunter who sent you back before confirmed that there were no monsters from outside."
The door was locked, and I don’t know how it was opened."
"Okay, whatever--" Albert was too lazy to argue with Nina. He got up from the waterbed and picked up the kitten: "Ah, it hurts, it hurts...
.My whole body hurts...how is the situation outside?"
"Since you defeated the giant insect queen, the situation has been temporarily under control." The black rabbit girl replied: "It seems that there will not be more city-wide annihilation-level monsters attacking tonight. Oh, by the way, congratulations first.
Please tell me that the Hunter Association has completed the identification of the Insect Queen and believes that she is indeed one of the [Origin Points]. The Association will always remember your achievements. In this way, in addition to the previous [Lord of the Deep Sea], there will be another
One [Origin Point] was permanently destroyed."
"The old mountain turtle is not included, meow?" Albert asked curiously.
"We are still not 100% sure that the old mountain turtle has been wiped out. I mean, isn't its remains still gushing out lava-like material all the time, endangering the entire city of Lviv?"
Nina said: "What's more, the gravity waves emitted from the Laoshan Turtle's body are not consistent with the ripples at the [origin point]."
So the Laoshan Turtle is not necessarily the origin point. The city-bound annihilation-level monster that appeared shortly after the start of this year's Great Hunting Festival and has been threatening Lviv for many days is maybe just an ordinary monster? It's a bit ironic.
.
"However, the harm it brings has both advantages and disadvantages. Although Lviv is as hot as a volcanic crater, Lviv, which is occupied by lava, has also become uninvadable, and those monsters without the ability to fly outside the city can only stay away.
Some monsters couldn't even withstand the temptation of [Summer of Love], so they jumped into the lava pool and killed themselves, which saved us a lot of effort."
"Wow... all the monsters don't want their lives, meow?"
"[Summer of Love] has a strong ability to control the minds of monsters. Even if the monsters' reason and instinct allow them to avoid lava for a while, bathing in the light of [Summer of Love] for a long time will weaken their reason."
.These monsters jumped into the lava like crazy. You should come out and take a look. The scene of thousands of monsters jumping into the lava pool and killing themselves just now was really spectacular. Before the battle ends tonight, the same thing will probably happen again.
It happened several times."
"I'll forget it." Because of muscle pain all over his body, Albert lay down again and gave the kitten to Nina: "I'm exhausted, let me sleep for a few more minutes. Call me again if something major happens -
----＂
"Meow~" The kitten that had been given to Nina was obviously unwilling to leave Albert, and immediately jumped out of the black bunny girl's arms and landed on Albert's chest.
"He seemed to want to stick to you." Nina said: "I don't know how he knew you were awake, but obviously he knew you were awake and ran straight over to you."
"Okay. Whatever." Albert said angrily: "You just stick to me in this hot place... You have nothing else to do, Meow? If not, please go back and do yours."
Just do your part."
"Hmph." The black bunny girl looked a little unhappy and turned around to leave.
"...Why are you so angry?" Albert had no choice but to touch the kitten's head subconsciously: "Could he be jealous?"
"Meow~~~" the tiger-striped kitten called in a long tone, and put its little head into Albert's neck and rubbed it back and forth.
Oops, I actually thought he was so cute. Albert blushed. If he hadn't known that this was Mutt's transformation, Albert might have regarded this kitten as a real pet cat and petted it back and forth.
But since he knew that this was actually Mutt, and that Mutt might change from this kitten form back to a boy at any time, Albert still restrained himself from playing with the cat, and just picked up the kitten and played with it lovingly.
"Hey hey hey------" He couldn't help but smile like an old father. At that moment, he even felt that leaving all the troubles in the world and finding a place to settle down and live a good life would be a good choice. Maybe he would find another place to live.
A girl gets married and has a baby, maybe she also raises a cute kitten like this and plays with it every day------
What were you thinking about? Albert shook his head.
"After this is all over"...
"The end of all this", what does it mean? Is it to complete the [Great Hunting Festival], to win the [Super Cup], or to eliminate all the [Origin Points] in the Dawn Region and bring eternal peace to the Dawn Region?
?When the world no longer needs him, where will he go? Is living in seclusion and living a so-called "happy life" what he really wants?
Because his muscles ached all over his body, when Albert got tired from playing with the cat, he let the cat lie on his chest while he lay on the water bed and took a nap. His body was so tired that he didn't want to move because of the pain; but he slept for a while.
He felt full of energy. Even if he forced himself to close his eyes to rest, his thoughts were wandering restlessly. However, because the temperature was too high, Albert, who was lying motionless on the water bed, soon fell into a kind of muddled state.
In this state, his brain gradually stopped, and he almost fell asleep in a daze. His consciousness fell into a blur, but his body was unexpectedly alert. Especially when his vision stopped due to closing his eyes, his hearing became extremely sensitive. When he almost fell asleep,
The moment he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly caught the sound of extremely faint footsteps nearby.
"Who?!" Albert suddenly raised his head from the water bed and looked up. He saw a black figure peeking in from outside the door to peek at him. The moment he shouted, he frightened the figure, and the other person began to twitch his head and raise his head at a very high altitude.
Escape at speed!
"Damn it!" Albert felt that the sneaky man must have bad intentions, so he immediately jumped off the water bed, without even wearing any clothes, he just picked up the Luna steel scimitar and chased him out wearing a pair of underwear.
Fortunately, his hearing was still at an extremely keen level at this time. He could clearly hear the footsteps of the other party running out, and he could even capture which direction the other party was running!
The complex terrain of the Central Temple was originally one of the measures to prevent invasion, but Albert has been here for a while, and even if he cannot be said to be familiar with the structure of the entire Central Temple, he at least knows most of the commonly used areas.
structure. He chased the sneaky figure, walking quickly in the central temple, and soon found that he had left the usual area and entered an unknown area.
Nina seems to have said before that there is a courtyard in the central temple, and there is even some kind of teleportation device. This place with green everywhere, could it be the so-called courtyard?
Albert looked around, trying to find the mysterious figure who had just peeked at his sleep in the green ancient courtyard. However, there were too many trees around, and there were places to hide everywhere. He wanted to find a deliberately hidden figure here.
It will probably be difficult for those who get up.
"Bastard thing..." the tiger man cursed in a low voice. The sound of fighting outside never stopped, and could be faintly heard even in the depths of the central temple. The Warcraft hunters outside were obviously still busy fighting against the enemy.
, but there is such a guy, abandoning his companions and playing hide and seek with Albert in a place like this, it is really shameless.
(Albert completely forgot that he was also slacking off.)
He suddenly remembered that all the hunters who had stayed in the Central Temple were poisoned and went crazy, and thought that there might be a poisoner inside the organization. Just now, he sneakily approached the door of Albert's room and was discovered.
Maybe the guy who ran away immediately was this [ghost]?
Albert made up his mind to catch this guy. Right here, on the spot.
We can’t let this [insider] do any more petty tricks to endanger the Warcraft Hunter organization! (To be continued)
