25. Daily life in the stronghold
A glimmer of edge flashed in the wind, and the sound of swords groaned softly like the wind blowing green grass.
The body of the bird that rushed forward suddenly exploded with a blood flower!
Bai Sensen's bones were exposed at the joints of the bird's legs, and he fell to the ground, and the ground was scratched by the sliding of the bird's body, and a bright yellow lightning suddenly erupted, enveloping the bird.
Nila, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly jumped out and smashed the object in her hand in front of the bird, and pink smoke spread.
The bird twitched violently twice, but instead of struggling, he gradually lost consciousness.
Then, Neela whistled, then flew forward with the fluttering reply worms.
And Alyssa, I don't know when she appeared behind the scratching bird, maintained a two-handed knife whirling posture, and froze and didn't move.
The reply worm exploded on her, and Alyssa put away the knife and gasped for air.
"We made it!"
"Success~!"
Alyssa excitedly picked up Nila and spun in circles.
After a while, the excited man and cat sat down quietly.
After a hunting battle, they were already feeling tired, and now it was time for the next move.
Alyssa pulled a flare out of her bag, walked into an open area, and launched it into the air.
Only a sharp pop was heard, and the sky was illuminated by the light of flares.
Alyssa clapped her hands and took out the honey and portable dry food from her bag, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Alright, now let's wait for everyone to help transport this guy back! Let's take a break and eat something to replenish our energy in case something unexpected happens......"
...
"Ah, the rising star of the fifth group, thank you so much! Originally, I wanted to ask you to help the investigation team with some 'capture suggestions', but before I could say anything, you had already captured the monster! Sure enough, it's a recommendation group from heaven! Crusade, capture for ......"
Alyssa had barely undone the hook on the pterosaur when she was stopped by a draconian biologist wearing a coarse cloth robe and a linen hood.
I saw that he was excited, his hands kept flipping through the books in his hands, and his mouth kept babbling, and the whole person seemed to be crazy.
Alyssa couldn't help but take a step back and hide behind Fichte.
Fichte touched her little head, stepped forward and said to the dragon human biologist: "This friend is not welcome, please entrust us with this kind of task in the future." ”
"Of course!" The draconian biologist turned around and left, not at all nostalgic, he couldn't wait to observe the structure of the new sample scratching bird's body now, they needed to have a good "in-depth exchange", "I have already reported to the Survey Resources Management Office, you can go there and get it." ”
Several people who returned were in the circulation area separately.
Alyssa and Nila plan to visit the injured Sardin, while the other three have other circumstances to report.
Fichte walked up the steps, where several biologists sat around and discussed. Behind the long table is a bulletin board covered with leather newspapers, and around the bulletin board is a variety of books.
Thousands of books are stacked on top of each other, filling the bookcases in the entire circulation area, and there are books stacked five or six meters high in an area of tens of square meters, and many of them are not put into the shelves, piled up on the ground like a hill.
A skinny old dragon scholar, holding a book bigger than him in his arms, kept flipping through it with reading glasses, and muttered to himself.
"Ahem~" Fichte stood in front of the old dragon and deliberately blocked the light with his tall body.
The old dragon didn't raise his head, but leaned away, trying to borrow a trace of light leaking from the side.
"Welcome to the Institute of Ecology, where I am the director." Although the old dragon man didn't look up, he spit out a large number of lines that seemed to have been memorized in advance, "Have you seen the 'traces' left by the monster?" The trail contains a wealth of information about the monster. Your investigation team is responsible for observing monsters on the spot and finding traces in order to investigate. We're going to study the monster and compile more detailed information. ”
"Anyway, if you come here, I'll show you the compilation......"
"Ahem!" Fichte coughed dryly again, came closer, and blocked out all the candlelight that was lit beside him.
“...... Well, what's wrong? The old dragon man frowned, is this young man a little too ignorant, relying on his tall stature to bully the old man, if it were his violent temper when he was young, he would have already slapped him.
"Old man, it's me!" Fichte took off the little hat on the old dragonman's head and stared at the sleek head with a grin.
At this time, the director of the Institute of Ecology slowly raised his face and looked at the young man in front of him, with a helpless look on his face, "It's you kid again, let's say, what the hell are you doing this time?" ”
Having said that, there was joy in the old man's eyes and tone.
A young hunter who is so interested in the study of monsters is something that every researcher expects.
Fichte smiled, "Old man, tell you a surprise." This time we found something new in the Ancient Tree Forest......"
...
In the meeting area, Fichte, who had been resting in the room, was called here by Barn.
The commander-in-chief propped his hands on the table and whispered to several hunters: "You have to remember one thing. This survey, which has been going on for many years, is not aimed at preventing people from being harmed by ancient dragons, but rather to understand the natural wonders of ancient dragons and find ways to live in harmony with each other. The hunter's mission is neither to defeat monsters nor to protect nature. Those who aim for harmony are the real hunters. Many problems may continue to arise in the future, and there may be no such thing as an "optimal solution" in this world. But remember, the determination to take and protect life goes hand in hand with the belief in harmonious coexistence. ”
"Alright, let's disband." Seeing Fichte's arrival, the commander-in-chief waved his hand and let several hunters leave.
"The setting up of the camp, you have worked hard, you have done a good job." The commander-in-chief smiled and nodded to Fei Xi, "Sure enough, it is the recommendation group, an excellent member of the fifth regiment, and we need to make persistent efforts in the future!" ”
"It's ready now. Then, I hereby formally appoint the Fifth Regiment to hunt for poisonous demon birds. As long as the hunt is successful, the scholars should be able to investigate the trace in detail. The Commander-in-Chief straightened.
"Again! The hunt of the Poison Bird is a major task! Remember, the success of this event depends on whether or not the Ancient Dragon investigation can begin! ”
"Done! Let's concentrate on the mission! ”
"Yes! I'm going to tell you to gather! Fichte saluted, turned and ran towards the lodge.
In the second-class hut, more than ten hunters from the recommendation group had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Fichte pushing the door in, they hurriedly asked: "Old Fei, how is it, has the commander-in-chief explained any tasks?" ”
Fei Xit nodded, an excited expression on his face, "This mission is an urgent mission, hunting poisonous demon birds. Once the hunt is over, the scholars set out to investigate the traces of the molten dragon. In other words, whether the ancient dragon survey can officially start depends on our hunting this time! ”
"Oh! Good old fee! ”
"We can't wait!"
"I won't let you go this time!"
The hunters laughed at each other, and Fichte looked around the corner, and Saldin looked at the excited crowd with longing in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh, walked to the bedside, touched Saltin's black head, and said softly: "What, envy?" Don't worry, when your body is well, Kuluo and I, and you, we will go together and accompany you to visit the ancient tree forest! What do you think? ”
"Then Lord Fichte, do you think I am hurt...... How long does it take to get better...... I've been lying in bed for a long time, and I feel like it's getting more and more boring! ”
"Relax, didn't the doctor say, it will take a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, and in two months, you will be able to jump around again."
"Two months to go!" Saldin let out a miserable howl, pulled up the quilt and buried his head, unwilling to face reality.
"Come less, don't think I don't know, these days you guys are enjoying Miss Nila's meticulous care, and your heart is happy!" Fichte tapped him on the head.
Saldin laughed twice.
Fichte stood up and said to the hunters, "Everyone, it's getting late, let's go to their respective receptionists to find out the specific situation." ”
It's not a problem for so many people to always be crammed into a small room like their own, it's too inconvenient, and I don't know when I can change to a bigger room for myself.
Fichte couldn't help but think of the first-class hut complex that Barn had taken to visit between the walls of the waterfall when he first arrived at the stronghold, and it was said that there were many small animals, more space for planting plants, and even fish.
If she had changed rooms, she would have to collect some rare things, after all, Alyssa's little girl liked those strange knick-knacks, and she would often go to her place to play when the time came......
"Old fellow! Uncle Ben brought you a lunch by the way! How about it, moved hahahaha! The one-legged Kulo's prosthetic leg kicked open the door, and he walked in with a large plate of barbecue in one hand, and a large plate of vegetables and fruits on his head, "Hey, hey, even if you're hungry, you have to pay attention to your image!" Wipe your saliva ......"
Fichte wiped his face in embarrassment, could he say that he was not gluttonous?
Saldin lifted the quilt and shouted, "Kuro, you are really the best partner for me in the world!" My roast ......"
"Stop! You're still recuperating from your injuries and can't eat greasy things, so Uncle Ben has specially prepared a vegetarian meal for you! ”
"Ahh Don't!! I'm a cat! I'm going to eat meat!! ”
