"I said, I'm probably okay with the captain, it doesn't matter if you two little girls have to walk for an hour's drive?"

On the eastern outskirts of the underworld, on the official road that can accommodate four machine trains in parallel, a red-haired young man in a brown and yellow martial arts uniform is knocking an ape-shaped ghost flying, and judging from his ability to speak easily, these monsters roaming on the side of the road pose no threat to him at all.

"Thank you for your concern, but if you can't persist in such a small distance, you won't be able to pass the Hellhunt assessment in the first place." Because she was going to leave the underworld, Li Ya tied up her long blue hair, which was almost dragged to the ground, and changed her clothes from a pure white velvet skirt to a blue and white capable skirt armor, in Hong Ying's words, from regular clothes to combat equipment.

"Ghost Ape, Soul Body, Throwing and Unarmed Attack, Trait: Call for Help, Threat: Low."

In contrast, Lu Yao's clothes have not changed much, the only thing that is extra is the new gold silk shoes she wears in case she needs to be down-to-earth-although no matter how you look at it, the metal chains wrapped around her calves have changed, and at this moment the little girl is staring at the monster that was sent flying with her different pupils to report the data.

Why was the goblin not dissipated but sent flying...... It should not be able to withstand the attack of the Flood Eagle...... Wait, "call for help"?

Wei Yi, who was originally walking at the back of the team and was still wearing a fast capture uniform in addition to the cloak, thought for a moment when he saw this, and then picked up the double spinning stick and rushed to the front of the team in three steps and two steps, and reminded loudly: "Lao Hong! Watch out for multiple enemy raids ahead! ”

"Huh?" Hong Ying didn't know why, but he still put the giant axe horizontally in a defensive posture.

"Squeak!" The ghost ape landed far away, and immediately screamed loudly, and then six monkeys half the size of it rushed out of the bushes on the side of the road and pounced on the netherworld.

"Spectral monkeys, spirits, ghost ape summons, threat: very low." When Wei Yi stopped the two monkeys that did not attack Hong Ying, Lu Yao told the information about these monkeys.

"It's such a nasty trait? Eat me with an axe! Hong Ying parried the monkey's claw attack a few times, was a little irritable, and turned around with a roar and picked up the axe, splitting the four ghost monkeys in front of him to ashes.

"Squeak-squeak!" The ghost ape seemed to be about to continue summoning, but was interrupted by a crossbow arrow in the middle of the door, and it dissipated in an instant.

"We walked to [Hope] Farm this time, not only because we didn't catch the public agency car, but also because we also needed to investigate the situation along the way." Li Ya repressed a crossbow arrow on the dark purple hand crossbow in his hand, and then said to Hong Ying.

――――

According to the information I received from the Vice-Marshal of the Underworld, there are three locations that have been attacked by leopard-shaped monsters, namely the mine [Bloodstone] in the north of the "afterlife", the farm [Hope] in the east, and the [Underworld Medical School] in the south, and it is worth noting that the distance from them to the underworld is almost identical.

According to what Wei Yi knew in the academy, it was impossible for wild demonic beasts to inhabit such a large area and be provoked by people to attack at the same time, so the conclusion was obvious, they were controlled by people, and if these three were a circle, the most likely location of the main messenger was in the center of the circle of "Afterlife".

Therefore, what the Hunters need to do this time is not to track down or destroy those demonic beasts at all, but to find the clues left by the unknown main messenger and capture them.

As for the "public machine car", it is a simplified version of the "organ train" that can pass through the "gauze tent" to reach other realms, compared with the original version of the hundreds or thousands of passengers, it can only transport dozens of passengers between various locations in the underworld, which can effectively avoid the attack of wild ghosts - although these official roads are modeled after the roads of the human world, but the street lamp mechanisms on both sides of the road that can drive away monsters are useless in the underworld, perhaps because of the difference between "monsters" and "ghosts"?

The most recent car left a quarter of an hour before the Hunters arrived, and it would take at least two hours to wait for it to return, so after a brief discussion, everyone decided to go on foot, as for the reason for being late, whether it was because Li Ya had changed his clothes for too long or because Hong Ying had overslept while resting...... Captain Wei said it didn't matter.

――――

"Huhu...... Sure enough, I'm still tired...... Stop for a moment. "Halfway through the journey, someone finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked for a break.

"Our little girl? Well? Compared with Hong Ying, who had already taken the handle of the axe, Li Ya did not look tired at all, she flicked her skirt armor and turned around, looking at the red-haired young man who had looked down on them before with a smile.

"There is a sightseeing rest stop two miles ahead," Lu Yao had been floating in the air, and she was not tired, her golden eyes flashed a few rays of light when she looked ahead, and then said, "If it hasn't been dismantled in half a month." ”

"Hehe, hold on, Lao Hong, who told you to attack the monkey with all your strength when you see it all the way?" Wei Yi smiled, patted Hong Ying on the shoulder, and walked to the front of the team to be the pioneer in his place.

"Hmph, that's Xiaowei, you haven't been called 'red-haired monkey'......" Hong Ying pulled out his axe and muttered at the end: "Guards are stinky boys." ”

After a while, the Hunters saw a sightseeing rest stop, or rather, three stone pavilions connected by a long corridor, with stone tables and chairs in the pavilions, and the inhabitants of the underworld sitting in twos and threes chatting and resting.

"This rest stop is for visitors to the Great War of the Ancients, and protective measures will be activated when tourists enter." Li Ya pointed to the three metal balls that were located at the top of the pavilion and flashed silver light from time to time, "It's a pity that today is not the day it happened. ”

If you look north from the location of the pavilion, you will see an ancient battlefield of astonishing scale, although it is dilapidated, but it can still be distinguished that it is two earthen wall strongholds not far from each other, all kinds of traces of attack and residual catapults, rushing cars and ladders make it easy to imagine the fierceness of the battle between the two sides at that time, corpses? Of course not, not to mention that this is just a projection of a war in other worlds, even if there were real corpses, they would have been registered and lived in the city a long time ago......

"I've come to see it a few times, although this battle is a projection left over from ancient times, but the battle process that happens every time is not exactly the same, there are boring people who have specially counted all the tactics and total troops used in this battle, Xiaowei, if you are interested, you can go to the Hades Library to check it out." It seems that because he has seen the resting place, because of the relationship between Wangmei and quenching his thirst, Hong Ying cheered up a little and began to work as a part-time tour guide.

"I'll talk about it when I have time," Wei Yi smiled and shook his head, "we need to get to Hope Farm now to investigate—ah, the machine is back." ”

With two whistles, a rectangular machine car with a bright yellow exterior came from a distance and slowly stopped near the gazebo, and the passengers who had been resting in the gazebo got on the bus one after another.

"Ah--I suddenly want to just sit on it and go back-" Hong Ying dragged the axe listlessly into the pavilion and sat down, showing an indignant expression at the machine car: "It's this broken car that refuses to wait for us, so it has gone so far in vain, it's better to let it turn around and go back now, and we can sit on it." ”

“…… It is controlled by the built-in communication timing mechanism device and starts on its own," Lu Yao looked at the machine car carefully, and there was no emotion in his tone: "I can forcibly change its scheduled program, and now I will turn around and go back to the 'hope' farm can also do it, do you need it?" ”

"No, you don't!" Hong Ying almost jumped up and shouted before Wei Yi could speak, "Xiao Yao'er, don't take my obvious nonsense seriously!" ”

"It's not obvious enough." Lu Yao blinked, retracting the gaze she had been staring at the cockpit of the machine car.

"Hmm...... Then don't include any of his words in the command sequence. Wei Yi found a relatively clean stone bench and sat down, and said to the hooded girl.

Permissions modified. Lu Yao's eyes flickered a few times and nodded.

"Na...... Speaking of which, if those monsters were under human command, why would he attack a farmstead? It's useless to destroy some crops at all. Leah raised his hand and waved at a stone chair and sat down carefully.

"This kind of down-to-earth thing, eldest lady, you definitely don't know," Hong Ying, who was not seated, watched the machine car start and leave, turned back to Li Ya and said: "That farm is the only farm in the underworld that produces food, and the other fields are generally planted with all kinds of spiritual grasses, this is because there are no people in the underworld who need to eat, and the strangely shaped underworld cannot provide enough light, only here can produce food and other by-products, so I hope that the importance of the farm is much greater than it seems." ”

"There is no doubt about the importance, but the grain there is ripe every day, and if it is not destroyed for a long time, it will not have a great impact, it will only allow the underworld to use up the reserves for a day," Wei Yi touched his chin and said as he thought, "This matter has to be seen in conjunction with the results of the other two investigations." ”

Grain, ore, hospitals...... What's the relationship......
