A silk thread shines in the sky, adding some last life to the barren and dark Gobi Desert.

But soon, the sun will set and darkness will cover the land.

The second mastiff hid on a rock, carefully observing the surrounding situation. This world is flooded with crimson yellow.

Fragments of dwarf plants dot the ground from time to time.

The wind swept through some of the gravel and rolled on the ground.

Three yellow dragons try to catch some small animals in small holes in the ground to eat.

The second mastiff gestures behind him.

Safe.

Seeing his prompt, everyone was relieved to relax, after all, being able to rest after a day's hard work is extremely advantageous for hunting the next day or facing emergencies.

But the second mastiff can't rest, he must carefully observe the grass around him.

Rook watched as the team members urgently replenished their strength, and spread out the map in his hand: "Soon, we will be stationed here for one night tonight, and then speed up the pace the next morning, we will arrive at the mission destination at noon tomorrow." ”

"The first half of the night is kept vigil by the second mastiff, the middle half of the night is mine, and the second half of the night is guarded by Dorant."

"And if you collapse, you will have a good rest, and tomorrow's main output will be you."

After arranging, Rook looked at his teammates and did not react. It seems to be the default.

So Luke hastily swallowed the dry food and prepared to rest.

"Tomorrow I will also be the main output."

Dorant's provocative voice rang in his ears. When Rook sat up, he saw Dorrant holding the back of his head to him.

Luke's eyes flashed with an unknown color.

The eyes opened, piercing the sky like sharp knives. The incomparably precise biological clock allowed Rook to wake up on time for a third of the night, and not only that. After the next breath, the muscles of the whole body change from a relaxed state of deep sleep to a state of readiness.

He took his spear, picked up his shield, and walked towards the big rock.

"Go and rest, the second mastiff. It's time for a shift change. ”

The second mastiff replied, indicating that he had heard.

Rook sat on a stone and looked at the world shrouded in darkness. Ban Xiang: "Go and rest, tomorrow's high-intensity hunting will require you to have plenty of energy." ”

"I'm not sleepy yet." The second mastiff looks preoccupied. Rook didn't force him either, after all, everyone has their own choices.

"I think Dorant has changed." The second mastiff said to himself. Rook just listened and didn't make any comments.

As the captain, you can't just favor any one of the players when they have conflicts. Once this is done, although the contradiction will be suppressed for a while, once the contradiction cannot be suppressed as the captain, it will pose a fatal threat to the team.

"After he got the four-star medal, he dragged it like two hundred and five, he gave priority to rest, didn't go to collect, and even the barbecue had to be asked by us to let him start.... Just like now, even orders are no longer obeyed, and the vigil that is vital to the safety of life is not attended. "It seems that the second mastiff heard the conversation.

Luke listened, not speaking.

"You don't really want to keep him up in the middle of the night, do you?" The second mastiff asked.

Rook didn't answer in the affirmative, but gently put his hand on the second mastiff's shoulder. "My energy is pretty good."

Seeing Luke answer like this, the second mastiff also knew that what he said was in vain. So he turned his face away and looked at the scenery.

"Tell me about your old story." Seeing that the night was long, Rook proposed.

"You speak first."

Rook frowned, his thoughts quiet from the past years.

"There's a tribe."

"A teenager was born, and he was dissatisfied with the isolation of the tribe, and he decided to go out."

"That's who I am."

"You're talking about Keda again!" The second mastiff complained dissatisfied.

Rook pouted, believe it or not, "It's your turn." ”

Don't you want a mastiff, you just want to dig out Uncle Ben's heroic past by casually telling a story full of mistakes and omissions?

Think beautifully!

The second mastiff kept his mouth shut.

Luke laughed treacherously and clasped the neck of the second mastiff with his hand: "You kid don't say it!" ”

"Woo!" The second mastiff was speechless.

He let go a little, leaving some air to speak.

"Don't say it!" The second mastiff is very backbone. But his backbone caused him to suffer again.

"Wooh.." The second mastiff made this sound again.

"Say it or not!" He let go a little again.

This time, the mastiff confessed. "Let it go."

The second mastiff, which was able to breathe air freely again, sat on the ground, and it seemed that the fight just now made the second mastiff a little tired.

"I'm going to listen to the full version first." The second mastiff was not convinced.

"It's already complete." Luke continued his warm-up exercise just now.

The second mastiff immediately raised his hand in surrender: "Don't do it, I said." ”

Rook smiled slyly, sat down, and listened to the story.

"I'm from the distant city of Eimello." The second mastiff recalled, suddenly pausing to reminisce and asking Ruke, "Do you know about the city of Imellot?" ”

"Yes. The lord of Emelo City is an extreme aversion to hunters, and the first thing he did when he became lord was to dismiss the local hunters' guild and bring under his command those who were willing to join the army, while those who resisted were thrown into prison. The current city of Imelo is a city without hunters, and it relies on formed armies to face the harassment of the city and village by monsters. This even caused a great sensation at the time, and the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild even asked His Majesty to hang the city lord to ensure the glory of the hunters. But the lord of Illo is still alive and well. ”

After Luke finished answering, he looked at the second mastiff, only to see the second mastiff still in his thoughts.

"I soaked his daughter."

"Who? Lord of Imello? ”

"Yes." The second mastiff covered his head, as if to prevent his embarrassed expression from being seen.

Rook wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he covered his mouth and tried not to laugh.

The second mastiff sighed: "Just laugh if you want to, I don't care." ”

After saying that, Luke really laughed.

After Luke finished laughing, the second mastiff asked, "Do you still want to hear it?" ”

"I've already guessed the ending." Luke popped and laughed again.

The second mastiff rolled his eyes: "It's your turn!" It's time for you to tell your story. ”

"I'm done." He pretended he didn't know anything.

The second mastiff was furious: "I have told all the heroic past, why don't you say it!" After that, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to do his best.

Rook raised his hand in surrender, and the second mastiff settled down.

"Once upon a time there was a tribe..."

"I want the real story!"

"This is the beginning, once upon a time there was a tribe."

"This tribe is very special, they have a good bloodline and extremely strict discipline. Their strength is extremely strong, they are able to destroy the dragon alone, and they are able to wrestle with the horned dragon with both hands. They are so powerful that the rite of passage for the young people born of the tribe is to single-handedly sword a horned dragon."

"Can everyone hunt a one-horned dragon alone? How is this possible! The second mastiff exclaimed.

And Rook, who was quiet in the past, ignored the exclamation of the second mastiff and continued his story.

"A scholar came from afar, and he was curious about the strength of this tribe, so he came to this place, intending to find out the mystery of all this. After a lot of hardships, he finally got the approval of that tribe, and he successfully lived in the tribe and investigated their lives. At the same time, a tribal girl pinned her admiration on this bachelor, who was ten thousand times more elegant than the powerful but rude tribesman. ”

"And then a mongrel with impure blood was born."

Enraged, the Elder sent his warriors to arrest the bastard who had destroyed the purity of the blood, but the maester had long since fled. So they took their anger out on the innocent baby, at the moment when they were about to fall to death. The mother of the baby traded her life for a chance. A chance for babies to prove themselves at a bar mig. ”

So the baby became an orphan, and his childhood was raised with the white eyes and bullying of his peers. Until the age of sixteen. ”

Although he was far more strict with himself than his peers before, and even made the elders frightened, his blood was turbid and impure after all. Lost the fight with the Horned Dragon. ”

So he was expelled from the tribe.

End of story. Luke didn't specify who the orphan was, but tears kept blooming in his eyes.

He sighed and looked at the horizon.

————————————

"Wake up, mastiff!" Rook patted the second mastiff in the face. I don't know when I fell asleep, the second mastiff opened his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"It's dawn?" The second mastiff looked at the sky, and saw a bright silk thread shining in the sky.

"That's right, go and get them up, it's time for us to hurry while the sun isn't so fierce."

The secondary mastiff propped up its body, then slipped and slid down the rocks.

He came to Honkai's side, and before he could walk in, Honkai jumped up alertly.

"Pack up, we'll go right away."

Then the second mastiff came to Dorant's side, and although the second mastiff did not like him very much, they had to have such a strong hunter in their team.

Before he could walk over, the equally alert Dorant kicked over,

Caught off guard, the second mastiff was kicked and stumbled, and the second mastiff, who was already dissatisfied with Dorant, roared: "Dorant! ”

"Emergency response, no way." Dorant sneered.

The second mastiff clenched his fists, and was about to punch it up, when Dorant continued to taunt: "Are you sure you, a two-star hunter, are going to do something to a four-star hunter?" ”

The clenched fist froze, but quickly pulled himself together. It's one thing to not fight, but it's another thing to not fight!

He shook his fist, intending to have a heads-up.

"Stop!" Rook stood on the rocks to stop their conflict.

He jumped down and came to them: "Keep your strength! Next up is the Ceratosaurus! ”

"Mastiff, listen to me, go and get ready. Put away your complacency, Dorant, any misstep in the hunting grounds will have doomed consequences! ”

Dorant pouted: "Got it~ Three-star hunter Luke." ”

The three frowned.
