Chapter 62: Cold Feather Falcon
Cargo boxes with guns, ammunition, and other equipment were on top, and taupe cars drove past the city walls, steam from exhaust pipes winding upward.
Urbanization in this era is still in a relatively rudimentary state, and in short, although the standard of living in the major towns is close to modern, this state is also limited to the cities.
Once you leave the urban area, the coverage of technology will show a cliff-like decline.
Even most of the villages are still in the rudimentary state of sunrise and sunset, not to mention cars, buses, even gas lamps and running water.
If the peasants want to improve their lives, they must move to the cities...... This involves the transfer of labor and the land policy of the imperial court, and Lu Jiu can't say why, but for now, this state has some benefits, that is, it preserves the original scenery of nature outside the city to the greatest extent.
Away from the city full of smoke and fire, enter the wilderness outside the city, and everything in front of you suddenly opens up.
The smoke and clouds over the city dissipated, the blue sky and white clouds reappeared, and the wildflowers and weeds on both sides of the road outside the car window grew particularly luxuriantly in the middle of summer, with the jungle in the distance, showing another beauty that was different from the beauty of machinery and order in Qingding City.
The headquarters of the Demon Hunting Guild is on a mountain 5 miles away from Qingding City, which is only a straight line distance, and the real route is called a winding one.
Therefore, after leaving Qingding City, in order to rush to the location of the Demon Hunting Guild as soon as possible and prevent being preempted by people from other teams, the car of the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team began to accelerate continuously.
God knows how this kind of steam locomotive accelerated to eighty yards, the already stuffy interior space combined with the already uneven dirt roads in the countryside, and the continuous bumps made Lu Jiu, a demon veiner, feel a little bored, and had to sit by the window to blow the wind to relieve it, and at the same time he had to cheer up and listen to Cheng Qing, the only female demon hunter in the Qinglan demon hunting team, introduce the role of oxygen cylinders and masks.
Her role in the team is probably technical support plus long-range gunfire support, and the mechanical equipment needed for normal tasks and the daily repairs of the car are all within her scope of operation.
What imaginary skin is fair, slim waist and hips naturally do not exist.
As an ordinary person who will be engaged in this kind of work all year round, Cheng Qing's muscle lines look even more obvious than Lu Jiu's.
simply tied a ponytail, rolled up the cuffs, wheat-colored skin matched the toned figure, Lu Jiu even suspected that ordinary men would not be able to withstand her punch.
"For the time being, we don't know how much the demon's miasma has mutated, you have to keep an eye on the dial here, once the hands are drawn into the red scale, it means that the oxygen in the cylinder is about to run out or the cylinder has burst, and it must be replaced immediately. ”
Pointing to the instrument above the oxygen cylinder, Cheng Qing leaned against the metal cylinder with one leg, and did not feel any difficulty.
"In order not to affect the action, this kind of oxygen cylinder has been weight-reduced, one can last about 45 minutes to an hour of use, and Geqiu will bring an extra bottle at that time, Lu Gongzi is a demon vein, and his physical fitness should not be worse than Geqiu, can he also bring a bottle?"
"No problem, I'll bring two bottles, just carrying things won't affect my movements, and I won't shirk where I need to help when I take the money. ”
The weight of the oxygen cylinder Lu Jiu has tried, because it is hollow, the three bottles together are heavier than the iron box in Hu Sanniang's house.
"Thank you very much. ”
Hearing that Lu Jiu was willing to help more and did not put up the shelf of the demon vein, the eyes of several people in the carriage looked at the former and suddenly became a lot more friendly.
"What are you going to do with that demon later?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Jiu also decisively asked about their plans, these people had obviously discussed countermeasures before, only he, a tool man who had just joined, did not know.
Although they said that they didn't need to participate in the battle themselves, Lu Jiu still planned to ask for the sake of insurance.
"That's right, through the temptation of the first two teams, we already know that the incense roe deer has been hovering near the guild's station, and will take the initiative to attack people close to the guild, probably because of its habits before the mutation, in short, our plan is to find it first, the three of them attract its attention, Cheng Qing and Du Qi will shoot the poison specially to deal with the demon beast into its body, and then just wait for the poison to take effect. ”
As the person who introduced Lu Jiu over, Ge Qiu first glanced at Zhou Chaolin, who was looking sideways at the co-pilot's seat, and then opened his mouth to explain the general plan.
The whole plan sounds simple, but I don't know how effective it will be.
"Later, if there is anything that needs my cooperation, I can command it at any time, my fighting level is not high, but I still have the strength. ”
Lu Jiu didn't comment on their plan, but just said that he wanted to help, his posture was quite low, and he saw that several people in the demon hunting team showed a bit of a reserved smile on their faces, obviously quite satisfied with his attitude, and then he said his true purpose,
"Actually, I still have a question, some time ago I heard from a friend that the Demon Hunter Guild is very familiar with the information of all kinds of demon beasts, and the demon hunters are also good at the convenience of demon beast research, so I also want to take this opportunity to ask you, I don't know if you have heard of a black falcon with ice blue tail feathers?"
Asking people about the origin of the demon spirit is something that Lu Jiu has always wanted to do but has some scruples, but now that he is about to make Miao Dan, ordinary people can't check the information of the Demon Hunting Guild, so they can only ask for help from these people, after all, compared to Hu Sanniang, who knows his identity, these demon hunters who don't know anything about their own details are undoubtedly much safer in Lu Jiu's opinion.
Compared with the possibility of accidents in the future because he didn't know about his demon spirit, he was still willing to bear this risk.
"Ice blue tail feathers, black falcon...... We've also encountered some feathered monsters, but I don't have much of an impression of this characteristic, Cheng Qing, Xiaoqing, have you seen it. ”
Katsucho shook his head, his gaze turning to the other two in the carriage.
"What's the use of asking us, you'll have to ask the boss and Duzi, they've been in the guild for almost seven years and know more than we do. ”
Cheng Qing shrugged and threw the question to the two people in front of the car.
"Maybe it's the Cold Feather Falcon, I've found similar information in the guild's illustrated book, but I can't remember it clearly, when the guild's affairs are over, I can help you check it...... Watch out for the left!"
Du Qi, who was in the driver's seat, was halfway through his words, and his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene in the rearview mirror, and he suddenly yelled.
Rumble!
Before the words fell, there was a roar on the left side of the vehicle.
Lu Jiu, who was sitting at the window and listening intently to Du Qi's words, only felt a hot tingling in his cheeks for a moment!
