Chapter 609: Traces

In the dark skylight, a group of frightened snake dragons flapped their wings and flew up. At this height, the magma flowing from the volcano is already larger than the proportion of solid ground. The ground is cut off by lava into winding paths and small uneven landmasses. In contrast to the yellow sand of Locklac, which reflects the power of the sun, the surface of the ground is literally scorching all living creatures in its place. Small clusters of volcanic plants can only be seen in larger areas of the landmass, and the leaves are mostly reddish-brown in proportion to the onifury.

Aside from desperate flying species and freaks who think they can handle the heat of magma, only humans are willing to set foot in such a field.

Senro and Rhino traveled from land to land, their speed unaffected by the harsh surface environment and temperatures. The green arc light rises and falls several times in the path, and the joints of the hunting suit flicker on and off as they move, like a swarm of fireflies.

"Wait!" His body is more than twice as large as his companion, and the hunting suit he is wearing is also heavy, and the rhino can still hang behind his teammates not far away, which is already a strong performance, "Are you going to rush to death?" ”

"We'll be outdone by the other teams." Sen Luo turned his head slightly, and the voice under the dust mask was agitated. The commission on this hunting ground has been carried out on the third day, and various large hunting groups and powerful loners have climbed the main peak, and the hunting target is exposed at this time, which is the worst news for both the Scales and the Scales Squad. The gloomy hunter glanced at his companion's hunting suit, "You should take off that mortal skin, without which we would have been a third faster." ”

"I've got the most expensive hunting outfit in my collection, and without it, I'd be dying of heat before I see a monster." The rhino said roughly, still taking a step under his feet. The giant man's hunting suit seems to be made of materials from a rare snow-capped mountain species, and the long fur and thick skin of the snow-capped mountain monster can not only prevent the heat in the body from being lost, but also resist the entry of the heat from the outside world, "That thunder and lightning are closer to the peak, and it is at least twenty minutes away from our current height. Do you think there will be any hunting group that chooses to hunt at that height? They're not fishing for lava fish. ”

"Don't say a word, just chase it." The green-armored hunter's tone was calm, and the speed of his feet increased a little more. The first lightning strike was half an hour ago, followed by intermittent flashes of natural disasters of similar power, and the last one was ten minutes ago, when the thunderbolt startled away all the flying species in the vicinity of the mountain, and then fell completely silent. On the way up the mountain, the hunters occasionally encountered a few panicked herbivores and low-level predators, but they showed no interest in the Shadow Hunters, and only blindly fled from the war-torn directions, instinctively seeking a sense of security.

"It's not like the one we're chasing." The strong man of the iron tower calculated, "Neither the vision nor the habits are quite right. ”

"It's okay, it's strong anyway, isn't it?" Sen Luo turned his face, and his mouth under the mask grinned excitedly, "There won't be a second time in such a fighting meeting." ”

The two of them leaped in front of a narrow red ravine at the same time, and the rhino bent down on his knees in the air, and rolled several times in a row as he fell to the ground to dissolve the force of the recoil. He got up and said to his companion in front of him, "I haven't heard a sound for so long, I'm afraid the battle there is already over." Would a monster powerful enough to summon thunder and lightning be stupid enough to stay in the same place for too long? ”

"There's always a trace." Sen Luo is a little lacking in confidence. The bare ground of the hard stone was difficult to track the footprints, the direction of the blood droplets was not easy to detect at night, and the smell of sulfur in the sky muffled most of the smells, and the Shadowhunter weighed up, suddenly slowed down, and walked side by side with the big companion, "We split up and chase. ”

"Are you kidding?" Rhino glared, "Captain's meaning, but I won't let you out of my sight for a single step." ”

"I promise I won't kill any more hunters." Sen Luo's cold tone actually revealed some pleading, "No matter what this monster that rains down thunder and lightning is, it must have some connection with the beast we have been chasing. It took us a month to finally get this guy's feet exposed, and if we let it escape from under our noses, we don't know when the next one will be. ”

"What if you catch it?" Rhino shook his huge head, "I don't need to remind you, your hunting suit will discharge, and you can't withstand a few electric shocks like that." The captain should already be on his way back, so we'd better signal and wait for backup. ”

"There are at least five large hunting teams on the volcano right now, and even if they don't confuse with the signals of other teams, they will reveal our location." The green-armored hunter pointed to the sky with one hand, "How far do you expect the signal to travel in such a volcanic ash fog?" From just now, we will have to rely on ourselves. ”

Rhino stopped, and the two were standing in front of a herringbone forked lava stream. The lava rolling in front of him blocked the way, and the two sides seemed to split into two paths far apart in the deep darkness of the night. The giant man pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "When you see the monster horse raise the signal, put away the set where you don't want to die when you see a powerful monster." If you die on the volcano before the battle begins, the rest of us won't have any hunting gains, and I'm here with all my wealth. ”

…………

Despite a hundred reluctance to split up on the proposal, Rhino had to nod his head to trust the judgment of his sinister companion. The powerful Shadow Hunters are not just the four of them, and the White Night has gathered them together for their abilities other than hunting. Lena's blacksmithing skills and knowledge of hunting gear, her life savings, and her ability to make money in the underworld. As for Sen Luo, the reason why the captain recruited him was only "strong", not only because he could defeat stronger monsters, but also because of his extraordinary understanding of the hunting ground, outstanding insight and beastly fighting instincts. Even if this madman occasionally ignores the danger he perceives and rushes into a battle of his own accord, he is still a better warrior and pointing needle than any master hunter on the hunting grounds.

Fearing for the safety of his companions, or about his massive investment, the rhino continued to walk alone for nearly twenty minutes, and finally came to a halt on a flat ground that was significantly higher than the surrounding mountains.

If the giant man had doubts about whether that scene was caused by the battle, the last question when he stepped on this realm disappeared. The battlefield within a radius of several hundred meters has been shattered by several thunderbolts, and the volcanic rock seems to have been pierced by irregular stone chisels, leaving large and small potholes. The largest blast mark was tens of meters wide, and the center of the explosion sank more than a person deep, and the debris was scattered in all directions, and black smoke was billowing from the center of the crater. The crater near the lava pool has seeped into the lava, and the lava crater is like a bright red star around the battlefield ruins.

"Immortal Fight......" Rhino squatted down, and the cage hand that untied the hunting suit twisted the gravel on the ground, and the stone had been burned into powder by the instantaneous high temperature, and it turned into powder in the hands of the Shadow Hunter in an instant, especially exuding a melting warmth, "I've been chasing for so long, don't be a strong man who can't be provoked." ”

The hunter got back to his feet, surveyed the messy battlefield, and crushed a burnt stone under his feet. The tower giant felt something, and searched around, and finally saw another trace of stone chips crumbling through the faint light of fire emanating from the lava pool.

"Not counting the tail, it is about ten meters long, and it weighs three tons." The rhino raised his hand to measure the size of the claw marks, but as if he had found something, he cupped his chin thoughtfully. The hunter looked at a group of four of the clearest toe prints and was silent for a long time before he said in disbelief, "Tooth beast species? It can't be the unlucky little guy who stumbled into the battlefield by mistake, right? ”

Following the direction of the toe prints, the Shadow Hunter's eyes looked at some rugged mountain path away from the battlefield, the terrain on the volcano was constantly changing, and the rhino did not know whether it was the direction of the mountain or the mountain. Thinking that the owner of the toe print under his feet had left in a hurry, the giant man shook his head and chased after the only clue.

…………

......Without his companions to hinder him, Sen Luo's speed became faster and faster, and Fang Cai's rapid movement was far from the limit of the green-armored hunter.

The battle ended, and the entire main peak of the volcano was immersed in an oppressive and tense atmosphere. The low-level monsters fled down the mountain, and the higher-level lords also hibernate in their respective lairs, and no monster still had the strength to entangle a human who broke into the territory. Sen Luo simply no longer concealed his tracks, and his running movements became more and more exaggerated, and each step would bring out a bright green light, floating in the night sky like ghostly fire.

The Shadow Hunter's hunting outfit also comes from the rare Wyvern species, and although the Green Electric Dragon is not the strongest monster that Senluo has hunted, it is the most memorable one. The cells of the monster's body produce turquoise bioelectricity all the time, and a pair of wings appear to be made of electric light, which also makes the arrogant hunter suffer at that time. The hunting outfit and weapon retain a considerable part of the monster's biological characteristics, and can generate a large amount of electricity when moving and swinging the knife, which is almost a permanent version of the paralyzing trap. The team's companions always stayed away from Sen Luo, largely because of the paralysis of the hunting suit, which was much better on humans than on most monsters. Compared to hunting monsters, Senluo, who uses it to hunt humans, is the most terrifying.

Filled with volcanic rock and the blackness of the night sky, and the red glow of lava that broke into his vision from time to time, Sen Luo looked in the direction that Rhino had chosen, and from here there was no other path in sight, and the two paths seemed to diverge farther than expected.

Fang Cai himself walked this path intuitively, and at the end of the night and magma, it seemed that some powerful aura was calling him. The hunter inhaled hard through his nose, as if trying to find some clues with his sense of smell, but all he could smell was a puff of clean, dry, hot air. He suddenly came to his senses, and put his hand on the dust mask that covered his mouth and nose.

"Hey...... Whatever! Choosing between curtailing the time of action on the volcano and the prey in front of him, Sen Luo gritted his teeth and took off his mask and hung it around his waist. The hunter took a deep breath, and the heavy smell of sulfur mixed with the heat wave suddenly poured into his nostrils. He coughed vigorously a few times, subconsciously covering his mouth, but put it down again, grinning and sucking in a few large mouthfuls of the bad air.

The hunter's determination was not without reward, and the next moment, Sen Luo's eyes flashed, and his head was firmly headed towards a more dangerous path on the right side. He turned and ran down the narrow lava path, ran two steps before stopping, weighing the bloated dust mask around his waist, and finally put it back on his head.

"This is it." After more than ten minutes of walking, the Shadowhunter stopped at a lava river, from where he could faintly see where the magma had fallen. It has been half an hour since the hunter began to chase the mysterious monster, the main peak of the volcano is round and tall, and there are countless ways to go up and down the mountain, but although he still does not know the species of the monster, Sen Luo subconsciously feels that the guy has not gone far, God knows what he smelled in the pungent wind, so he squatted in this field so determined.

"Don't let me down." I don't know if it's a fantasy or a real thing, he just feels that in the darkness in the distance, a fierce monster is walking towards him. The green-armored hunter hid behind a high rock, his hands already trembling with excitement, and he pulled out his double knives behind his back, and the bright blade flashed with green light, just like the hunting suit.

"The beast dragon species, the sea dragon species, and the flying dragon species won't leave so many traces...... "The waiting time was short and long, and Sen Luo muttered as he rubbed the blade on the rock, "Tooth dragon species...... Could it be a toothy dragon species? The rare species of dragons are excited to think about......"

"Click-" I don't know how long it took, but the slight tapping sound was like a bell that started a signal, and in an instant Sen Luo stopped all movements and sounds. The Shadow Hunter held his breath and turned his head to look at the source of the sound, only to see a distant volcanic cloud glowing a dark red, as if something was slowly stepping out of the shadows.

"Click-" The sound of the hard paws of their feet on the rocks grew closer, and the monster was like a walking fire, each flash of blue lightning that would make the particles of the volcanic cloud burn.

"That's it! 10 meters ...... No...... Twenty meters long big dick? ”

"Cluck-" The sound got closer, and deeper shadows split out of the dark red volcanic mist, and the Shadowhunter realized that he seemed to see the scattered ash as the silhouette of a monster.

"Hell, it's only ...... Is it so small? ”
