Chapter 85

Returning to the cave he had been away from for two days, Wenhlong couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental as he looked at the huge rock at the cave entrance. After all, the last time he left, it was just Wenhlong and Catherine, one person and one cat. Now, after just two days, there were two more Elune cats.

"Who knows what it will develop into in the future? If we were to build a large estate centered around this cave, it would certainly be a big project. And to grow and become stronger, we will definitely need more Elune cat helpers in the future..." Wenhlong couldn't help but think.

So Wenhlong said, "Hey, woman, move that rock first. We need to hurry and go hunting, we don't have much time to waste, meow."

"Move it?" Before Catherine could act, Da Hui and Xiao Hui, standing to the side, showed looks of surprise.

Da Hui said, "Sir Hero, please forgive me for speaking out of turn, but how can you let a beauty like Miss Catherine do such heavy work? Besides, such a large rock, it's impossible for one person to move it, meow?"

Xiao Hui also said, "That's true. This rock is so big, and even though my brother and I are considered strong among Elune cats, we can't move it even if we work together, meow."

"Is that so? Actually, I thought the same as you, but some things are better seen to be believed... meow." Wenhlong shrugged, indicating that he was too lazy to explain, as some things were simply inexplicable.

Then Catherine walked to the cave entrance, bent down slightly, and used both hands to support the bottom of the huge rock. With a bit of effort, she lifted the rock. Then she took two steps to the side and put the rock down. Now, the cave behind the rock was completely exposed.

"Alright, the rock is moved," Catherine said.

"This... Miss Catherine is also a great heroine! Truly admirable, meow!" Da Hui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

And Xiao Hui said, "Sir Hero's partner is indeed a heroine too. It's really great to be able to serve both of you, meow!"

"Alright, stop flattering us. Remember, you're here to work, meow." Wenhlong couldn't help but remind Da Hui and Xiao Hui.

"Yes, Sir Hero! Meow!" As soon as Wenhlong spoke, Da Hui and Xiao Hui immediately showed respect.

So Wenhlong began to assign tasks to Da Hui and Xiao Hui.

Wenhlong first told Da Hui and Xiao Hui that they could stay here for now. Although the cave was simple, it had all the basic tools they needed. Da Hui and Xiao Hui expressed their gratitude for this.

Of course, Wenhlong also gave Da Hui and Xiao Hui orders to guard the cave and prevent others from approaching. After all, Wenhlong had left some materials in the cave, which he planned to sell after the trade route from Mirard Village to Meijeboltan was reopened. Additionally, there were some tools he had bought from Mirard Village in the morning, which he had temporarily stored in the cave.

Besides guarding the cave, Wenhlong also required Da Hui and Xiao Hui to cultivate a large area of wasteland below the cave during this time. This wasteland was to be used for planting various crops. During Wenhlong's hunting period, he required Da Hui and Xiao Hui to at least cultivate an acre of land.

"Don't worry, Sir Hero, we will definitely complete the task! Meow!" As he spoke, Da Hui had already picked up a hoe.

"Please rest assured, Sir Hero, we come from a farming background, so farming is our specialty, meow!" Xiao Hui also said.

"Good, that's great, meow." Wenhlong nodded in satisfaction.

Following the principle of trusting those he used and not using those he doubted, Wenhlong gave Da Hui and Xiao Hui the greatest trust. This was also related to Wenhlong's special fondness for the Elune cats who pushed the cat carts.

After all, when playing the game, whenever a hunter was exhausted and fell due to a monster's attack, it was always such Elune cats who pushed the cat carts to rescue the hunter from the monster's claws. Their brave and self-sacrificing spirit was something every hunter found unforgettable.

Wenhlong was no exception.

So, even though he had only just met Da Hui and Xiao Hui, Wenhlong arranged for them to stay in the cave and take charge of guarding the supplies, without any worry that they would steal.

"Well, it's time to set off again, meow!"

So, after assigning tasks to Da Hui and Xiao Hui, Wenhlong set off again with Catherine. Although the hunting target was still in the Dawnwind Valley, not too far from the cave where Wenhlong was now, he had already spent a lot of time since the morning. To solve the hunt before sunset, time was still quite tight.

"Sir Hero, and Miss Catherine, may you have a smooth journey! Meow!"

Even when Wenhlong and Catherine had walked quite a distance, they could still hear the voices of Da Hui and Xiao Hui from afar...

Leaving the cave and heading west, after about an hour, they reached the depths of the Dawnwind Valley. Here, the trees became even more lush, and some wild animals that were usually hard to see became more common... Clearly, this area was much less frequented by people compared to the outskirts.

"Wow, Mr. Cat, look over there, there's a waterfall! Such a big waterfall!" Suddenly, Catherine's voice rang out. Wenhlong followed the direction of Catherine's finger and indeed saw a huge waterfall cascading down the mountain wall, like a silver-white canvas.

"This should be the most famous scenic spot in the Dawnwind Valley... The famous large waterfall, known for its great height and width. According to the information provided by the Hunter's Guild, the target of our hunt should often be found around here, meow."

"That's right, Mr. Cat," Catherine also said excitedly, "But besides this scenic spot, there seems to be a famous large cave nearby, which is also a nice place to visit."

"Um... Indeed..." Although Wenhlong was chatting with Catherine about various things, his eyes and ears were already focused, constantly paying attention to any changes in the surroundings.

"Since the information suggests the large bird is nearby, we need to be on high alert... meow."

At that moment, Wenhlong suddenly heard a strange cry. Looking up, he indeed saw a large bird descending from the sky.

"It's the large bird!" Wenhlong immediately recognized the identity of the large bird. From the bird's posture, it seemed that its target was a running spirit deer on the ground.

The spirit deer seemed to sense the approaching danger and began to run as fast as it could, but the large bird was faster. With a dive, it pinned the spirit deer to the ground, and its sharp claws easily tore through the deer's skin and muscles. Soon, the agile little spirit deer became food for the large bird.
