Chapter 685: Blood Calamity

"The legendary primeval ruins, the back garden of Lane Yeru, but that's ......" Senro stood by the gangway with his weapons clenched in his hands, and took a cold look at his surroundings, trying to find something special among the collapsed buildings and the colonnades that crisscrossed the ground. But after just looking at it for a while, he closed his eyes boringly, as if he was bored.

"I kind of like this hunting ground." Rhino smiled and said, "I don't know how much manpower and financial resources it will take to build such a huge stone city. "Just looking at the collapsed and broken rafter pillars and tall buildings in front of him, the Shadowhunter seems to be able to smell the lingering luxury in the air.

"This hunting ground is full of broken rocks that block the view and block movement, and I hope you can continue to enjoy it during the battle." The green-armored hunter said lukewarmly.

"The ecology around the Emerald Tower is self-contained, and there are many powerful subspecies and rare species active in the hunting grounds, and this may become your paradise if you change the time." The Silverarmor Hunter was accustomed to Sen Luo's tone, "I hope you don't lose sight of our intentions when the time comes." ”

It was mid-afternoon when the Shadow Hunters officially stepped into the Emerald Tower's hunting area, and the clouds in the dome sank to a height within the reach of the hunters in the scorching sunlight. The dim sky light reflected the ancient blue-black stone bricks on the ground, which made the emotions of everyone on the Reverse Scale also suppress.

There was only one person in the team who was very excited, and in the center of the gathering place of ancient technology, the female craftsman Lena was like a dragon swimming into the sea, and her whole body exuded excitement and enthusiasm that she couldn't wait to rush into the sky. Even if Bai Ye didn't allow her to get too far from the ship, the purple-clothed hunter had already walked around the place where the airship had landed in a short time, and when he returned, there were already more than a dozen strange fragments of ruins in his arms.

The shards of the slate were engraved with strange patterns, like some kind of primeval writing, and although no one on the ship could understand them, they were carefully put away by Lena. The mutilated pieces of metal were scraped off the rust by the peeling knife, and most of them could not see the alloy material, and one of them was soft and tough, and it was slightly purple fluorescent in the sunlight, and it was polished into the shape of a hand by the female craftsman, and it was placed into the pocket on the waist bag babysitterly.

"I never thought that you would be more precious than I am." The Silverarmor Hunter said teasingly, "You know you have these worthless scraps, right? ”

The beasts of the Emerald Tower do not cherish the precious relics in the ruins, and this hunting ground has been cultivated by the hooves and claws of monsters for a long time. Not one of the valuable fragments of the topsoil remained, and the rest was also picked up by the perennial development of the Eastern Country. Now if you want the ancient relics of the Emerald Tower, you can only go underground.

Before they landed, the Shadowhunters saw a lot of traces of construction machinery through their binoculars. It has only been abandoned for several years under the majesty of the unicorn, and many of the digging pits have shown signs of collapse and filling after being exposed to the sun and rain, and the rest have become nests for land and ground species. As far as the eye can see, all this adds a sense of vicissitudes to the ruins.

"Works of art, these are works of art!" Lena hugged the treasure in her hand and said proudly, "Besides, who knows which piece will be used in my research?" The scribes and craftsmen of the kingdom do not see the name of the house, and not necessarily in my hands. "Swire technology is too different from existing technologies, and the widely accepted way of using them on the mainland is to corroborate with current technologies and learn from each other's strengths. Only Ryan Yelu, with the convenience of geography, would try to do something stupid like recreating the primeval civilization system.

"Put away all your knick-knacks, our ship can't stay here for long, and don't forget that you have business to do. If you keep playing, the captain will be angry. Rhino kindly reminded.

The purple-clothed hunter restrained his smile and hurriedly put down the things he had picked up. Lena pinned her head to the other side and kicked a gray figure next to her foot, the figure moved twice in pain, and a gray cloak slipped off her back, revealing her body that had been kneeling for a long time.

"Hey, the boat over there is yours, right?" The craftswoman crouched down, looked at the captives of the hunting group, pointed to another airship docked not far from the Reverse Scale, and asked, "I'll borrow a few trays along the way, you shouldn't mindβ€”I mean, there's no fuel anyway, and your ship won't need defense." ”

"Phew!" As soon as he heard the airship, the man with his hands tied behind his back finally responded. The poacher opened his red eyes and had a look of anger on his face: "Despicable! As long as the Grizzly Bear Hunting Group can return to the volcano, our boss will not let you go! ”

"Hey," Lena said deftly dodging a mouthful of phlegm, still grinning on her face, "You know, you'll be beheaded for that." I'm sure you've heard of our Captain White's bad name, he doesn't have many hobbies, but he likes to put his heavy sword like a soldering iron on someone's neckβ€”"

There were more than a dozen strange poachers under the gangway, all of whom were confiscated of their weapons and hunting gear, tied their hands and feet, and knelt in front of Senluo and Rhino. On the deck, Adonti carried a heavy crossbow, and the mirror flashed with a cold light above everyone's heads. Even if this self-proclaimed grizzly bear poaching group had the ability to reach the sky, it was difficult for them to fight back or escape under such a battle, so they had to bow their heads one by one without saying a word. The Shadow Hunters were all cloaked in gray cloaks, which looked like half-weathered stone pillars from a distance.

The poacher who answered Lena was a little younger, and seemed to be strong-blooded, but he had no inner bravery, and he was frightened by the huntress, and his neck retracted to the neckline of the hunting suit, and his eyes were dodgy, and he did not want to look at the female evil star again.

"Don't worry!" Lena stood up, draped the young man's cloak back on him, and gestured to the deck of the Scale, "Look over there, our captain is chatting with your boss, and when we're done talking, we might let you go." As for the fuel and the tray...... I'll assume that you agree. ”

"Thank you, there are not many Shadowhunters as generous as you in the underground world now!" Perhaps because she had collected a lot of ancient fragments, Lena spoke a little more than usual, and squeezed her eyes at him as she left. The young poacher was ashamed and annoyed, and almost wanted to attack, but he was frightened by Sen Luo's cold gaze, and he was afraid of the double knives in the hands of the green-armored hunter, so he had to give up.

…………

"So, that's how you solved the supply problem for us?" Feng Chen covered his nose with one hand, and raised a basket of sand with the other, extinguishing the last wisp of smoke from the bottom of the Reverse Scale, before he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's better to grab one anyway than to rob the union's supply depot like those crazy hunting groups, right?" Kaede said, as if he didn't smell the stench in the air.

After brutally asking several Shadow Hunters for directions one after another, White Night finally determined the route to the Emerald Tower in the midst of all the information. The regulation of the power furnace of the Reverse Scale far exceeded that of ordinary small airships, and the heavy shell was abandoned near the border, and the hunting ship was lightly armed, rushing all the way, overtaking several fleets one after another, and finally came to the sky above the ruins.

The price of high-speed action is the rapid consumption of fuel, and after reaching the Emerald Tower, the power of the airship is about to run out, and there is no power to return. At Kaede's suggestion, the Shadow Hunters docked on the outskirts of the hunting ground and lit fire smoke in several corners of the airship with animal dung.

There is no open flame when the wet manure is burned, but the smoke produced is unusually solid. The airship was full of smoke, and the miserable scene attracted the attention of an unlucky poaching group in less than half a day. The captain of the Grizzly Bear commanded the hunting ship to approach, and was pleased to find that it was a cargo ship that had just been "wrecked". The bow of the ship, the command room, and the deck, which seemed to have caught fire during the forced landing, had been engulfed in smoke, and the crew inside was unknown, but the open cargo compartment was fortunately unaffected, and boxes of supplies slipped out.

The head of the hunting group, who was carried away by the unexpected joy, hurriedly led the team to get off the boat to investigate and rescue the materials on the ship. The accident came too suddenly, and the team had just approached about twenty meters before the fireship's ready-to-fire crossbow bolts swept overhead, several of which missed the air chamber of their own ship.

The retreat was blocked at the first time, and seeing the cold light of the cannon muzzle and the crossbow arrow faintly sticking out of the smoke, the grizzly bear commander was dumbfounded, struggled, and had to obediently order to disarm. The poachers behind him wanted to make a profit with the muffled voice of the regiment commander, but they didn't expect to swallow the bitter fruit of greed with their boss.

"You haven't thought about what if it's a union hunter who arrives when you hear the news?" Feng Chen asked with palpitations. Even if the results of this cage capture were quite smooth, but the initiative to remove the airship's vigilance, and the practice of covering the field of vision with smoke and dust, and only waiting for the other party to obediently enter the urn, every step was full of uncertainty, and even for the Shadow Hunter seemed too risky. Perhaps Kaede himself didn't even notice this suggestion, but as the Volcano Mandate deviated more and more from its original purpose, a long-lost sense of adventure was quietly growing in places he couldn't notice.

"Ryan Yelu is on fire in the backyard now, and the royal family can't even catch the Shadow Hunters near the capital, how can they have the leisure to pay attention to such a remote place?" Kaede asked confidently.

"And what if a monster notices us first?"

"You're already here, and I don't believe you'll sit idly by." The old hunter turned his head and looked at Feng Chen with a smile, he had taken the young man's abilities into account from the beginning. Kaede took the sand bucket from the dragon whisperer's hand, waved his hand and said, "Go to the deck, Bai Ye is interrogating that bear-nosed guy, he said something, it's about the Kirin, you might be interested." ”

Dusty almost trotted aboard the airship, and the deck was simply swept by the boatmen, but the stench of burning feces was still clearly audible, and the young man had no time to care. The dragon whisperer ran to the bow of the boat in three or two steps, and the leader of the hunting group with the bear's nose was tied to the railing, and the dust and sweat on his face were mixed together, and I don't know whether it was due to some hardship or simple fright, and he looked very embarrassed by the majesty of the head of the group.

Seeing Feng Chen's arrival, Bai Ye nodded, and the tip of the heavy sword slashed at the heel of the broad-faced man's neck as if out of nowhere, and said casually: "Say it again." ”

Xiong Bi looked the young man who came up and down suspiciously, and saw that Bai Ye impatiently put the blade of the sword towards the flesh again, so he swallowed his saliva vigorously, smoothed the breath in his chest and said, "It's a blood disaster...... If you can spend more than half a day near Bordertown, you'll know what I'm talking about. ”

Near the border, the grizzly hunting group escaped from the pursuit of the union airship by using the trick of the fleet's golden cicada to escape from the shell, but encountered the second checkpoint while passing through the eastern edge of the border town. There was nothing special about that hunting ground, but the guarded position was terrifyingly strong, and the air was all the fleet of Wang Li's hunting group.

"At first, I thought there were still people in the area, villagers who didn't have time to evacuate or something." The big man shook his head like a ghost. Once they had crossed the border, the poachers discovered that the mudslide east of the volcano was nowhere near as powerful as the union had predicted, and far less powerful than the Burning Rock side. It is true that muddy water has soaked most of the border towns, but few of the surrounding villages have been affected. The evacuation of civilians has turned the settlements into ghost villages, and many poachers have been supplied from empty villages and towns after entering the country.

"The result...... It's that guy's blood. ”

"Can't be wrong, although the fleet of the Wang Li Hunting Regiment is like a great enemy, and it is strictly guarded all day long, we still see it from a distance...... The whole river was full of dead fish, and the flowers and plants on the riverbed had turned yellow. Our ship traveled far away for several hours, flying dozens of kilometers to the hunting ground, and we were stunned not to observe a single lord-level monster. Even if it was more than the first time he repeated it, the bear's eyes were still cloudy with excitement, "Nothing other than the blood of that creature could have been so poisonous - the appearance of the ancient dragon species and the news of its injury are true, are you satisfied?" ”

Feng Chen only felt his ears buzz, and the last words of the grizzly leader were masked behind the buzzing sound in his ears. Dragon's blood can easily be used as a weapon to kill the ancient dragons themselves, so they care more about their blood than any other monster. If the Qilin is no longer able to conceal its whereabouts, it means that its injuries are even more serious than Feng Dust expected.

"Thank youβ€”" Although the information only made the young hunter's heart heavier, Feng Chen thanked Bai Ye in a trance. Standing on the edge of the Emerald Tower, the dragon whisperer could already faintly feel the breath of the unicorn, and it was not too late to do anything.

"It's just a windfall, but it's almost time for you to tell me, why do you have to care about the life and death of an ancient dragon?" The Ironclad Hunter asked.

"Wait, aren't you here for it?" The big man with his hands tied puffed out his chest and asked inexplicably, "A hunting group as powerful as Reverse Scale is fully capable of competing for the material of the ancient dragon." ”

"We don't want to kill it." The answer was a tired voice, and he half-comforted himself, "Even a seriously injured and dying ancient dragon species is not so easy to kill." What's more, whoever hunts the ancient dragon breed is, not only will he not gain fame and wealth from it, but he will get himself into big trouble. ”

Looking at the half-grown child in front of him pretending to be old, the strong man snorted lightly, and suddenly regained some brightness on his face: "I don't know what you're talking about, but it looks like you're about to be in big trouble." ”
