Chapter 723: Dragon Quest (3)

The bald man on the other side asked.

But Lucille didn't dare to answer immediately, turning her head to look at Sean as if waiting for the other party to answer the question.

"Yes, are you too?" he asked.

According to Sauron's previous statement, most of the people who can appear here are people who participated in this dragon hunting mission, and this bounty mission does exist every year, but it is not released separately, only word of mouth among bounty hunters.

Judging by the other party's posture, he should also be one of the bounty hunters, and they all came here, so what are they fooling the other party for.

"Yes, but you don't look like local bounty hunters. The bald head said and slowly approached the campfire.

Maybe it was an unintentional act in the chat, as long as they saw that Sean and the two were not hostile to each other, they could slowly get closer, but the ghost leopard next to the bald head began to be vigilant when they got closer to each other.

The roar never stopped......

It seems to sense the danger of Sean and Lucille.

"Uh...... I'm really sorry, but my pet is really too non-stop. ”

Sean sneered.

"It's okay, do you want to come and sit down?" and kindly invited the other party.

But the bald man shook his head helplessly and said: "No need, I just came to find this pet, and now we have to go back if we find it, otherwise my teammates will be in a hurry, I hope you can find the dragon as you wish!"

Before leaving, I didn't forget to bless him.

After the other party walked away, Lucille, who had not spoken, frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Mentor, I always think this person is weird. ”

"Oh, you can see what's weird?" Sean smiled, "So what do you mean is weird?"

"How could he, an animal trainer, not be able to control his own beast, and come here without permission, and you refused to invite him...... Anyway, it's weird. ”

Lucille probably couldn't say anything else, but her first feeling was that the other party was weird.

"You're right. Sean for sure.

"Huh?"

In fact, the emotions that changed above the other party's head when they approached made Sean ponder in his heart, until the other party hurriedly chose to leave, including the vigilance shown by the ghost leopard, finally made him understand.

This man is here to gather intelligence.

"Gathering intelligence?"

"Hmm. I guess everyone who comes here knows that they are competitors looking for the whereabouts of dragons, but they don't know who the competitors are, so they need to be bold and explore. ”

"Oh~ I came here with the help of that kind of beast!"

It was only when Sean said this that Lucille reacted.

That's right, the other party can indeed use the excuse of looking for the ghost leopard to come and take a look at the situation in the other camps, and the vigilant roar of the ghost leopard just now has proved that the two of them are capable of making the beast fearful.

That's why the other party chooses to leave......

The first is that the intelligence has been gathered, and the second is the prevention of Sean and Lucille.

"These people are really cunning and bad. Lucille said.

"If they weren't bad, there wouldn't be so much competition in the world! Sean said a few words of comfort.

The two continued to chat around the campfire, their eyes paying special attention to the bald beast tamer on the other side.

really

The other party also used the same method to explore other camps......

Because there was no hostility, it was difficult for the camp on the other side to say even if they knew his intentions, so they should just be careful of the animal trainer.

As for Sean's words, he also reminded himself when the other party was close that the invisible monster himself has been paying little attention, and it seems that he must open a buff for himself alone during this time, otherwise he doesn't know when he will encounter a sneaking monster.

The two chatted until ten in the middle of the night,

When they were sleepy, they continued to stay up for a while, until the two brothers woke up in the second half of the night before changing the guard and falling asleep.

And this night, not much happened.

........................

The next morning, Sean was woken up by Lucille, who was getting up even more.

The whole party was ready to pack up their things and set off again, and Sauron thought it would be quicker to get on the road today, for it was only during the day that the four of them found that there were quite a few tents resting in the col.

Yesterday it was said that there were more than 20, but after dawn there were at least 30 or more, and there were at least four or five people in a team, which is more than 100 people.

If more than a hundred people walked the same road, it would be the number of a large mercenary group, and it was a very large one......

Not counting those who might come back later.

Sauron thinks that it is necessary to rush to the mountain as soon as possible, and if nothing else, it is likely that someone will set up barricades on the road or deliberately cut off the forest and road signs to mislead the people who come behind, and if they don't set off quickly, they will be regarded as a descendant.

Sean and Lucille nodded, packed their things at breakneck speed, and left with the group.

The rest of the road will lead to the depths of the mountains, which is not easy to walk, but this is the place to really enter the unknown territory.

And a large group of people seem to have deliberately chosen different mountain roads in order to avoid each other, or they have deliberately diverged from each other and not taken the same road in front and ......

Before entering the mountain, Lucille deliberately looked for the bald man from yesterday in the crowd, but he didn't see it.

Such a conspicuous bald head seems to have left directly very early, and was not in the team that set off this time.

The road became more and more difficult for the four of them to walk after they went up the mountain, and the oxygen on the plateau became thinner and more uncomfortable.

"Lord Sean, do you know why the Plateau is called the Land of Terror?"

Perhaps to pass the time on the way, Thor would talk to Sean and Lucille about the Highlands.

"Is it because of the environment?"

"Part of the reason ......"

"That is, there are those unknown monsters. ”

"That's part of the reason. Thor replied.

"Why is that?" asked Sean.

"The more reason is that this place is rarely known to outsiders, and it is rare for people to enter the deep mountain plateau roof, where it is said to have hidden secrets that attract many people. But until now, no one has publicly stated that they have walked to the roof of the plateau. ”

Saul's words are almost the same as what Esher said at the time, and they are described from the perspective of those scholars.

"Isn't it dangerous for us this time?" asked Sean with a smile.

"It's not that serious...... After all, we don't go into such depths, at most it is good to reach no man's land, in fact, although we have come to participate in the dragon hunting mission every year over the years, we don't dare to go deep into the Tai Nei, and we will choose the season when the snow melts, and it is just a little more walking. ”

Thor's words probably gave Sean an an idea of this mission.

"I see. ”

It seems that there is something in the depths of the plateau, but many people are unable to go deep into it due to environmental and condition restrictions.

Snow melt just gave this opportunity.
