The sand is yellow and sandy, and the traces of the molten dragon like a hill are embedded in the middle of the desert like obsidian.

Kelly took a knife and a bamboo tube and gently scraped off a layer of powder.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she stood up excitedly, smiled and waved, "Welcome back safely!" Everyone is safe, and I've let them hide in a safe place. Well, I'm going to pick them up! ”

"Please go back to the camp and wait for us!"

Fichte and Alyssa smiled and nodded, watching her leave.

The two of them found a flat ant mound base on the edge of the slope where the traces were located, and sat down to rest.

Alyssa put the knife flat on the ground, looked up and sighed, and looked at Fichte with a smile: "This time it is really thanks to the senior, I didn't expect the senior to save my life again." ”

"We are now companions, what can not be saved, it is appropriate for companions to help each other."

"Hmm!" Alyssa nodded, her eyes full of joy that she couldn't hide, and then she noticed that Fichte had not the newly created "Flower Knife" in her hand, but the hammer used by the newcomer.

The iron handle, which was more than a meter long, was connected to a pointed hammer that was two circles thicker than Alyssa's waist, and the original black surface paint layer had fallen off from multiple blows, revealing a bright metallic color that glittered in the sun.

"Senpai, your weapon ......"

"Oh, that's what you say." Fichte placed the hammer on the sand against the anthill, and said with some emotion, "I met some accident on the way here, and borrowed his hammer from a passing fellow, and it was just enough to use it." ”

He turned his head to look into the girl's eyes, and his eyes flashed with joy that had never been seen before.

"I realized that my vision was too narrow. Hunters should take advantage of all available favorable conditions to hunt, and the weapon style to restrain monsters is also one of them. In the past, I always believed in the study of a weapon, but I was always limited by the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon itself.

Now that I've tried different weapons, I really understand what my teacher meant by what he said to me......"

"yes, that's really nice senior!" Alyssa smiled brightly.

"Hmm. But Alyssa, what you need to do now is to specialize in the sword and be familiar with hunting. When you're really on your own, try to ......," Fichte seemed to realize and turned his head to look behind him.

Alyssa was stunned and followed Fichte's gaze.

A man in a cloak of animal skins approached step by step.

He carried a gray bag on one shoulder, and in his left hand he held a two-meter-long insect stick as a walking stick, and his body was tightly wrapped, and the shadow of the animal skin cloak covered half of his face.

The man also had a green insect guide cage hanging from his belt, and it seemed that he was also the hunter of the investigation team.

"You ...... It can't be the fifth investigative mission, right? The man paused and asked slowly.

Not from the 5th regiment?

Fichte and Fichte hurriedly stood up to show their respect for the visitor.

"We are the hunters of the Fifth Investigation Group's recommendation group, Fichte."

"Alyssa."

"I don't know what you call it?" Fichte's gaze was like a knife, piercing the man's eye under the hood of his mantle.

The man didn't answer directly, but paced slowly, "It's been so long...... Is it time for the ancient dragons to migrate again......"

He lifted his hood to reveal a youthful face, no more than thirty-something. He has a shaved face, a neat black mustache on his chin, three or four strands of dirty braids hanging down on both sides of his forehead, and long black hair tied in a ponytail at the back of his head.

But the man's long, pointy ears say a lot about who he is – a dragonman.

There weren't many dragonmen in the hunter world, at least Fichte had seen a few dragonmen in the survey base, and there were only a few elderly scholars except for the material team leader of the Investigation Resource Management Office.

Neither did one of the hunters.

The hunter in front of them was the first and only dragon hunter they had seen in the New World.

As an immortal dragon race, although he looks like he is only in his thirties, his actual age is probably far greater than that of Fichte.

The Dragonman Hunter lowered his head and looked at the two of them, and continued, "I'm also a hunter, from the first investigation team. ”

The first investigation team, that is, this "uncle" was already active in this land of the New World forty years ago!

"If it's convenient, can you talk to me?"

Fichte and the two looked at each other and nodded slowly at the Dragonman hunter, "Let's go back to the camp and sit down and have a good chat." ”

...

"Well, everyone hasn't changed. It's just wonderful. ”

A fire was lit in the camp, and the three of them sat opposite each other, poured warm wine into their glasses, and gently touched them.

"The scholars are just as enthusiastic." The Dragonman Hunter took a sip, "By the way, are you chasing 'that monster'?" ”

That monster? Does it refer to the Molten Mountain Dragon?

Fichte nodded slowly.

The Dragonman Hunter narrowed his eyes, as if enjoying a bonfire drink, "Me too." I think that if you follow the traces, you can unearth the truth. ”

He looked up at the sky, stood up, and said goodbye to the two of them, "It's almost time to go, you don't have to send me, my camp is near here, you can use it." Also, can you tell everyone about it? Tell them 'don't worry' and I'm going to just follow the instructions." ”

Fichte took the map handed over by the Dragonman hunter and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, we'll get it in." ”

The Dragonman Hunter pulled the hood of his cloak back onto his head and turned, "If you're also guided...... We'll see you at the end of it all. ”

With that, he walked out of the camp without looking back.

Steer? The end of it all?

Fichte was full of doubts, could it be that the dragonman hunter had discovered the mystery of the secret of the ancient dragon's migration?

So why didn't he report everything to the mission and go it alone?

Alyssa stepped forward, intending to see him off.

The wooden cart creaked slowly from a distance, and Kelly stepped out from behind the wooden cart. She glanced at the hunter who was walking out, smiled and said hello, and then ran to Alyssa and hugged her happily.

"Aibo, we're back!"

"Uh......" Alyssa gently pulled Kelly away and coughed lightly.

"That one was ...... just now"

"Dragonman hunters of the first regiment." Fichte stepped forward from behind him, standing side by side with Alyssa, watching the Dragonman hunter walk away and disappear at the end of the camp.

"Young lads ......"

"Come and help......"

"The old guys can't pull it anymore!"

The three scholars lay on their stomachs or on the ground, motionless, apparently exhausted.

The fragments of the traces of the molten mountain dragon in that large cart were like a small mountain, and the weight was at least 10 tons or more.

...

"Guarding and recovering traces, thank you for your hard work."

In the meeting area, the commander-in-chief smiled and patted Fichte on the shoulder, "Thanks to the efforts of the 5th regiment, the traces everywhere have been successfully recovered. I was right, since you landed on the island, all the investigations have gone very well! Now, scholars are investigating the recovered traces, and should soon be able to predict the current location of the molten dragon. ”

Fichte smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief has won the award, this is just a matter for us, and everyone hopes to be able to explore the secrets of the New World as soon as possible...... But then again, we met a Dragonman hunter in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, claiming to be the ...... of the first group."

Fichte reported the matter to the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief was thoughtful, and only after a moment did he say, "The man you met in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland is the hunter of the first phase of the group, and he is the only dragon hunter in the investigation team. His presence is indispensable to us, but his whereabouts were unknown not long ago.

'I've discovered the secrets of this continent, I'm going to investigate......' he left only this sentence, I had planned to go with him, but he left alone. He hasn't been seen since. Although there has been a search for his whereabouts...... However, since he is safe and sound now, then we can rest assured...... He said let's not worry, right? Then as soon as the time comes, he will definitely come back.

...... Thank you. That's great news. ”

"Oh yes, before the results of the investigation...... I would like to entrust you with another task. "The commander-in-chief was a little embarrassed, after all, the hunters of the fifth regiment did not have any time to rest.

"Please do what you ask, and we will complete the task."

"Good!" The commander-in-chief spread out the map, "Here's the thing, I want to ask the fifth group to search for the whereabouts of a certain scholar, he seems to have been separated from the guards on the way to investigate the traces, the location is in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, please go now......"

The three of them stood up and saluted, then left the meeting area to prepare for their departure.

Alyssa and the others didn't feel anything, young people chased their dreams, some were impulsive, they didn't care if they had time to rest, as long as they had a task, they could be in high spirits without rest for several days.

Fichte is different, he has begun to run towards the age of thirty, although his energy and physical strength are still on the rise, but after nearly ten years of hunting, his enthusiasm has gradually calmed down, and the pursuit of great ideals is no longer reckless, he also began to think about whether he should create an heir himself......

"Big brother! Predecessor! Stay! ”

Behind him came the "terrible" shouts of a young man.

Who is it?

Fichte stopped and turned, and then he was hit by a reckless figure!

The moment the body flew upside down, he saw that Elisa's big starlight eyes flashed with shock and inexplicable color.
