"Ahh

Kelly was bouncing around in the new camp in the Ancient Tree Forest, looking around, "Brand new tents, new ovens!" Ah, I smell food! ”

"Ahh It's so big!! The freckled girl stuffed almost her entire body into a large blue box.

"We're all set, let's go!" Fichte and Alyssa have packed their bags full of props and weapons on their back to hunt the poison birds, and now they are about to begin.

Kelly, who heard the movement, poked her head out of the supply box and waved at the backs of the two of them, "Aibo, senior Fichte, you must come back safely!" ”

The two of them followed the vines and quickly slid to the flat ground.

"Let's get started." The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Poisonous monster birds love to eat plants, so if you look for them in the forests rich in their food, you may be able to find them more easily."

"But our action this time is not to hunt the poisonous demon birds, but to clear the poisonous demon birds in an area from the stronghold to the suspected trace of the molten mountain dragon. So from here, to the depths of the Molten Mountain Dragon Traces, a large area is the area that we need to investigate and clear. ”

"There may only be one poisonous demon bird among them, but it is also possible that there are multiple poisonous demon birds."

"Although the Poison Demon Bird is not a monster that lives in groups, it cannot be ruled out that there will be a collective encounter, so we must be careful to deal with ......"

Fichte carefully instructed the information he had received from the director of the Institute of Ecology about the poisonous demon bird.

The two hunters hurried as they collected traces and supplies along the way.

Although the survey team can provide a large part of the materials needed for hunting, a large part of them are provided by the hunters who carry out the exploration and investigation, and they are not free of charge, and they cannot have enough materials with limited funds, so they must always pay attention to collecting materials to make temporary supplies.

"Pay attention to collect more antidote grass, we need to prepare some antidotes in case we accidentally get poisoned when facing poisonous demon birds."

Fichte plucked a plant with dark blue five-petaled flowers from a pothole, took an empty bottle from his bag, and crushed the plump petals directly with his hands to collect the juice in the empty bottle.

A simple bottle of antidote is complete.

"There is an antidote grass growing near here, that is to say, the pothole just now is the corrosion trace of the venom of the poisonous demon bird, and there is residual toxicity, which induces the growth of the detoxification grass. We've entered the roosting area of the venomous birds. ”

Fichte motioned to Alyssa behind her to be careful, most of the antidote herbs grow near the poison, which is the law of nature. There were no traces of poisonous plant growth in the vicinity of the detoxification grass, so Fichte could conclude that he and the others had entered the environment where poisonous animals lived.

That is, the territory of the poisonous demon bird!

"Senior! You see! Alyssa suddenly ran under an old tree with spreading rhizomes, and her armoured hands gently picked something up from the ground.

It was a feather.

A patch of turquoise bright feathers.

But in this dark forest, this vivid green is inconspicuous, and even faintly blends into the environment.

"It's the feathers of the poisonous demon bird!"

Alyssa puts the feathers in the guide insect cage and allows the guide insect to collect information.

Fichte walked quickly up to Alyssa and crouched down to see where the feather was.

"Look around, although the poisonous demon bird can fly, but there is also a high possibility that it will leave footprints nearby, as long as there are footprints, we can follow the direction of the tracks to find it."

Hearing this, Alyssa immediately walked in one direction, just after the guide insect "ate" the feathers of the poisonous demon bird, there was a tendency to fly out in that direction, so it was very likely that there were traces of the poisonous demon bird there.

Sure enough, before she had taken ten steps, Alyssa found another trace in a patch of grass.

It was a four-toed footprint, three short and one long in front and one short in the back.

The footprints are hidden in the grass, only crushing some flowers and plants, if you don't search carefully inch by inch, you can't see it at all, but the guide insects are not looking for traces through vision, they "smell" the breath of the traces, they will fly over and attach to them, and then form a green fluorescent trace.

It was with the help of guide worms that Alyssa discovered this footprint.

According to the direction of the tracks, the demon bird should be ahead. So she shouted: "Senior, look over here, I found the footprints of a poisonous demon bird!" ”

Elisa's voice fell, and Fichte was not heard for a long time.

She turned her head and saw that Fichte had walked into the distance, scraping something on the torso of an ancient tree that looked like a wall.

Alyssa quickly collected the traces and ran in the direction of Fichte.

Although she was confident in her professional abilities, Fichte was a senior after all, and he may have discovered something he hadn't discovered, so he went to the front.

"Senior, have you found anything?" Alyssa approached behind Fichte, "I spotted the footprints of a poisonous demon bird, in the grass behind me. ”

"Well, that's good." Fichte turned, "You come and see here, the traces of the venom of the venom of the demon bird." ”

Fichte gave up a position so that Alyssa could see the marks on the trunk.

It was a stain of dark purple venom, the thick bark of the ancient tree had been corroded to a depth of several inches, and there were still traces of lilac liquid around and on the surface of the corrosion marks.

Fichte explained softly to Elisa, "The venom of the Demon Bird is a purple liquid, not weakly corrosive, volatile and with a pungent taste. Based on the current degree of evaporation and its evaporation rate, it can be inferred that a poisonous demon bird has been active here within half an hour. ”

"So, there's a good chance it didn't go far?" Alyssa continued.

"Yes." Fichette nodded, "We have to pay more attention to the next action." Although the Poison Demon Bird is a plant-loving monster, its personality is not as tame as that of the herbivorous dragon. They are extremely territorial creatures that will warn when an outsider approaches, intimidate them with a loud roar, and even attack them directly. ”

"I see, Senpai."

The two of them used some dark green plant stems and leaves to cover the obvious difference between the color of their bodies and the forest, and then continued on the road.

...

Although the ancient tree forest leans against the high mountains, its interior was originally a basin, but the ancient trees were too tall to support the whole forest.

Inside the ancient tree forest, there are all kinds of wonderful terrain, depressions, hanging corridors, waterfalls, karst caves, peaks...... Almost any terrain that can grow trees can be found deep in the Ancient Tree Forest.

Alyssa and Fichte, standing on a tree trunk more than two meters wide, stood in the air nearly twenty meters high and looked down at the empty boulevard below.

There is not a single weed in the road below, and it is all flat red mud floor, almost as smooth as the boardwalk of the survey base.

A poisonous demon bird covered in turquoise feather cuticles was swaying along the side of the road, the feathers on its erect neck shaking from time to time, and occasionally one or two feathers landed on the ground.

"This guy must be at least twelve meters long." Fichte secretly said to himself, his small piece of sword, if he dealt with it alone, it was estimated that it would be enough to choke, and the slice didn't know how long it would take to scrape it to cause substantial damage.

"Fortunately, I brought Alyssa this time, and the damage output of the Taidao is still enough."

Fichte glanced at the girl who was intently observing the poisonous demon bird below, and there was a smug mood in his heart.

"Such an excellent girl turned out to be her own student!" He remembered that he was also so young, and so was his new debut, full of passion for hunting.

Now six or seven years have passed, but he has reached a grade that others have not been able to achieve for decades, and there is even such a lovely student.

I don't know what she'll be able to get to in the future.

Fichte was looking forward to it.

But it's a bit too far to think about it now, and it's only right to complete the task first.

"Alyssa, are you ready?"

"Hmmm! Senior, I'm always ready! ”

"So, let's go!"

Fichte leaped down and held the shield down.

This big man of more than 100 pounds, plus all kinds of equipment, weighed more than 200 pounds and smashed it down.

"I'm here to attract the monster's hatred, Alyssa, you're here to weaken the monster on the side!"

Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the whole head of the poisonous demon bird was smashed into the ground by this thing that fell from the sky, smashing the ground into a pit that was torn apart.

Falling from a height of twenty meters, Fichte felt as if he had jumped from a height of twenty centimeters, without the slightest discomfort. I saw him turn over and stand firmly in front of the poisonous demon bird, his short sword lightly tapping the round shield, and showing a defiant smile at the green monster in front of him.

"Come on, big guy, is your Uncle Fichte's shield strike delicious?"

The poisonous demon bird that had been hit the head was still a little dazed, and the scales on its face were the same as the ground that came into close contact with it, and a large piece of it cracked, and traces of blood oozed out.

Seeing this, Fichte laughed loudly and leaped forward and stabbed the poisonous demon bird into the round eyeball.

"Quack Ho ——!"

The pain-stricken poisonous demon bird immediately let out a roar like a broken gong, and the loud sound almost rippled in the air in Fichte's eyes.

He immediately drew his short sword and rolled a few times, leaving the range of ten meters in front of the poisonous demon bird, while covering his ears.

Fichte grinned at the sound of a piercing sound.

It's already so far away, but I didn't expect to feel a slight tingling pain in my ears, and my body trembled a little.

However, it is still within the acceptable range.

This guy's attention is probably all on himself now.

Next, it's up to Alyssa to play.

He saw a dark red figure falling from the sky, so his feet moved, and at the same time, he rushed in the direction of the poisonous demon bird!
