Chapter 617: Short Sword
Yifeng was already desperately prepared - in this improvised team, of course, the life and death of Feng Dust was not in his consideration, but the girls beside him must be brought out of the volcano safely. However, after exchanging two attacks with Sen Luo, the Shadow Hunter didn't feel much killing intent from the opponent's moves. The green-armored hunter hides a power no less than that of a monster, but at the moment, this monster is just wielding his sword at will, and has no intention of making this battle serious; The shallow dust on the side, and any member of the team has the ability to kill them with one blow, but they also sit back and watch the young man smoothly turn on the switch of the hunting suit, and make everyone stop with the inferior threat of death.
It's not just because he has no fear, but he may never have thought of really hurting himself and others. The pace of the battle paused slightly, and the Shadowhunters figured it out.
No matter how rebellious and moody they may be, they are still ordinary Shadowhunters at heart, just like themselves. Safety and profit, these are the only two things that all the Shadowhunters think about in the hunting grounds, and it seems that Reverse Scale wants to extract more benefits from this temporary team than the danger that comes with letting the Dust Seal and his party live. Fang Cai's series of changes and threats were just a means to deepen the fear of himself and others and facilitate their next manipulation.
"Huh? Why? The first person to ask was Lina, who was already in the middle of a bullet.
"That's the case...... Feng Chen also put down the weapon in his hand, and looked at Bai Ye, who was silent, from afar, "You want us to help you track down the golden lion?" β
Finally found the clues of the dragon family, but it was just a dead end with no tracking value, although the white night as the captain did not reveal any clues, but his heart gradually became anxious. The appearance of the four maples at such a delicate stage was like a gift from heaven to the Scales Squad. The well-located take-off and landing pads in the mountains have been blocked by the major hunting groups one after another, and the temporary team in front of them is about to be forced to land nearly twenty kilometers below the lava line. Being able to come to this hot spring one step earlier than the Reverse Scale Squad with Senluo, the other party came in a straight line at all, and almost didn't take any wrong path. These two men and two women either have unknown real-time intelligence, or they have unique and efficient tracing methods, either of which are what the current reverse scales need most.
At that time, Sen Luo inadvertently leaked his mouth, and Bai Ye acquiesced to the threat of his subordinates, but unfortunately, according to the current situation, it seems to be a little too much.
"......Shh The response was not slow. He grumbled, and began to think about how much gold the captain would promise from his account in this transaction. The strong man's hands were still tightly gripping the heads of the two girls, and with the strength of the hunter's wrist and the auxiliary mechanism looming on the arms of the hunting suit, he could still crush the heavenly spirits of Ah Dong and Ah Xia at any time.
Feng Chen got his own answer from the silence of the white night, and the young man's afterglow glanced at the hot spring that was still bubbling: "So, you guys followed us all the way?" β
Sen Luo's eyes were cloudy, and he glared at Feng Chen, as if he was making a silent threat.
"Hmph, don't think too highly of yourselves." Captain Reverse Scale still has a proud posture, but the same posture now seems to have a different meaning of being strong and doing things in the middle, "We are from another way, and Reverse Scale also has its own means of tracking." β
"So it's really not fighting?" Hearing that the captain was willing to let go, Lena lengthened her voice regretfully, "It's so boringβ"
Despite the unusually hot and dry lava line, Kaede shivered slightly. Only the female crossbowman here still does not know the mind of the leader of her team, and it is not impossible for her life to be in danger. Lena was the first to propose a war, and only her murderous intent was real, perhaps the most dangerous presence in the squad was this unprovoked girl.
"Like you said, I can keep you alive, but in exchange, you will also help me find the location of the golden lion, no matter what method you use." Bai Ye said.
"Or 'cooperation.'" Kaede corrected, the old hunter turned his head to look at the situation of the two girls, Ah Dong and Ah Xia were still lying on the ground with frowns, but finally did not suffer any injuries that reduced their combat strength, "I have what you want, if you want to talk, at least show some respect." Let them go, it's time for the farce to end. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Are we really going to hand over our weapons?" While handing the bandages to Ah Xia and sealing the dust, he said to his seniors secretly, "What if I find the golden lion?" I can't guarantee that they will keep their word. β
"The summoning signal of the airship ......" Kaede knotted the gauze on Ah Dong's head before raising his head and glaring at Feng Chen, "That's what you want, right?" β
"What did you say?"
"Track the movements of the Golden Lion and sell information to others...... Even if your purpose is really that, there's no need to bring a few of us with you. The old hunter sighed, "I'm stupid...... I knew it would be like this, and I would rather give you the right to use the airship than get involved in the current situation. Now this situation ......" Kaede's eyes swept over the people who were still staring at the scales on the side, "You got us into this predicament, so you shut up and let me do the negotiation alone." β
The thunderstorm of last night happened suddenly, and the young Shadow Hunter was still on the airship, so he changed the direction of the boat and found a nearby place to land on the mountainside. The signal flare that summoned the airship has always been kept by Kaede's predecessors, and he can find an excuse to act alone and hide in the mountains smoothly with the convenience of the dragon cavity, but this means that there is no supply for the sealed dust, and there is no evacuation plan, and he is alone on the volcano full of powerful hunting groups and strange beasts. Even if the location of the ancient dragon is found, there are few options left for the hunter to make. Therefore, the young hunter did not hesitate to lie and bring the three of Kaede, saying that it was to fulfill the contract of the temporary team, but in fact, he also carried his own selfishness, but he didn't expect things to develop like this.
"Is it really necessary?" Feng Chen turned off the trapeze trap on his legs, untied the straps on his body, and threw it on the ground beside him, "Even if I wear this hunting suit, I can't beat you." β
After a short period of negotiations, the two sides finally settled on a verbal agreement. The weapons and signal flares of Kaede's party were all handed over to Reverse Scale for safekeeping, and in turn, Reverse Scale was also responsible for the safety of the hunters on the road. Although the trapeze's combat ability is not top-notch, it is one of the best in terms of escape performance, and even the Reverse Scale Team is not willing to chase a jumping monkey on a volcano. So after several bargains, Feng Chen reluctantly handed over the full set of hunting equipment.
"Or we can do it as well, if you want." The giant man rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Even if it doesn't hurt your lives - we came across a cave of flame lions when we came, wouldn't it be much easier for me to tie them all up and take only one of you?" β
"It's just...... I don't want that woman to touch my hunting outfit anymore. The little hunter said reluctantly, looking at Lena beside him with resentful eyes.
"I'm not interested in that kind of hunting gear anymore." The girl spread her hands, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "But speaking of which, I remember that time...... Your body ......" she sniffed left and right into the pile of hunting gear that the young man had untied, and finally lifted a nondescript scabbard.
Feng Chenden reflexively stood up, his hands clenched, and he was about to rush forward to snatch the one-handed sword from Lena's hand. The girl turned sideways, dodging the Shadow Hunter's sneak attack, turned her back and pulled the blade out of the sheath herself: "It's just a glance, and it won't be broken, it's really stingy!" β
Feeling that Fang Cai's movements had attracted three pairs of unkind eyes, Feng Chen finally retracted his steps, and clenched his fists to watch the huntress pull out the mysterious one-handed sword.
With this sound, Kaede unconsciously stopped the action of untying his waist bag in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the short sword that Feng Chen regarded as a treasure along the way.
The blade of the sword is bright white, not like a tattered scabbard and a hilt with strips of cloth haphazardly entangled, but the body of the short sword is quite delicate, as if it has been carefully maintained. The short sword is only cut on both sides of the front end, and the willow-shaped blade is slightly inclined to the side of the blade, and there is no extra decoration on the spine of the sword, and there is not even a blood groove in the regular system. Except for the crystal clarity like white marble, there is nothing outstanding on the one-handed sword. Lena looked at it over and over for a long time, and finally said boringly, "Hey, what...... I thought it was something powerful, but it turned out to be just an ordinary bone knife. β
"It was given to me by a friend of mine." The young hunter muttered, "It's something precious to me. β
"Friend...... "The crossbowwoman chewed on the words, trying to scratch the dagger against the rock wall at hand. Lena's fingertips were so hard that the blade of her sword effortlessly sliced into the volcanic rock like slicing tofu. The tip of the sword broke through the boulder all the way, until the blade of the sword was halfway into the rock mass, and the huntress pulled it out with satisfaction, "I can't see it, it's quite sharp, it's much better than the one in your hand, why don't you use this?" β
"I've said it all, it was sent by a friend." Feng Chen replied impatiently, "After all, whether to find it or not, it has been delayed for so long, and if I wait any longer, I won't be able to find the golden lion." β
"That's right, put away your weapons, let's go." Bai Ye clapped his hands, "Seal the dust, right...... You said you have a clue, which direction will the golden lion go? β
"I didn't...... I don't have a clue yet. Before the gloom of the group was revealed, the young man changed his words abruptly.
"I need to meet a monster, any monster can be, the stronger the better." At this point, Feng Chen's clumsiness was no longer hidden, "I need them to locate the location of the dragon's family, did you see any traces of the native lords in this area when you came?" β
"What kind of tracing is this?" Rhino asked incredulously.
"Do as he did." An agreement has been reached, and Bai Ye no longer questions it.
"This area is the territory of the Flame Lion, if you want to find other monsters, you have to walk a little more." Sen Luo closed his eyes and breathed a little, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, "I still feel that this is not a good idea. β
"I'm the captain - get out of the territory before you plan." Bai Ye waved his hand and took the lead in finding a direction to leave. The rhino carried the large bag of the dust sealing team on his back and followed behind the captain. Kaede picked up the two girls with bruised heads and followed behind the former. Feng Chen walked in the center of the line, and was stared at by two pairs of eyes behind him. Sen Luo's eyes were particularly unkind, tracking was his job, but he was robbed by a teenager, especially when his suggestions were repeatedly rejected by the captain, the hunter already had a lot of resentment in his heart, and at this moment poured all of them on Feng Chen's body.
"So this mask is the confidence for you to dare to make such a big move on the volcano."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As the crowd walked away, one of the scars that Lena had cut into the boulder remained in place. The shallow knife marks on the stones actually emitted a faint glow under the gloomy canopy of the volcano. A flying beetle accidentally eats the bitter nectar of a chili pepper, loses power on its wings, and stumbles to find a place to stay, only to fall headlong on the boulder. The worm's legs were also unsteady on its feet, and one of its heels slipped down the edge of the boulder, coincidentally passing over the scars.
The flying insect finally landed on the ground, and the carapace and the ground collided with a "poof" sound. Before it could recover from its senses, the little creature only felt a sharp pain in its wings, and its thin wings were eroded by an unknown force into a few tiny hollows, and the red black corrosion marks were like fires from hell, and they would never let go of the body of the flying insects. The black fire spread from the wings all the way to the body, crawling into the delicate cavity flesh of the small insect's carapace. The monster's six slender feet fluttered incessantly, and after just a few seconds, they regained their composure.
A gust of mountain wind blew away the mist on the surface of the hot spring, and the thin feet of the flying beetle were silently annihilated under the smoked wind, followed by the body in the carapace, and when the wind stopped, only a shriveled red insect shell remained on the ground.
