"After a long time of talking, it's not that I can't do anything......" Xiao Yang put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky of the sand sea that was gradually darkening, "I think except for these old guys who are all dead, otherwise we will always be embarrassed rookies in their eyes." ”

The care of elders is sometimes both a protection and an invisible restriction. Until the end, the old captain only encouraged the teenagers a few words, and did not give any more instructions. The Five-Star Hunter still has a whole team to take care of, and there is no extra time for small talk. What's more, after receiving the latest news on Scarlet's situation from Shentu Miaoling, Master Peng's attitude towards the fugitives became more cautious, and his words were full of warnings to the teenagers not to make out-of-the-ordinary moves.

"What about surviving from the Elder Dragons? What about twice? It's not like I'm being treated like a child. Jia Xiao also looked a little aggrieved. He reached into the waist pouch of the hunting suit, which had been crushed into powder by the days of fighting. The boy grinned and poured a large pinch of crushed sugar into his mouth to cheer up.

The seriously injured Rum's predecessors have been handed over to the professional rescue Ai Lu on the dragon ship, and the airship is also in full swing repairs, and the newly acquired "men" of the little dragon man were isolated by Amphines on the grounds of danger in the cabin where monsters are specially kept on the airship, so that Lu Yingying has no chance to further study. After the war, the hunting ground was busy, but only the small hunting group still hovered outside the airship, doing nothing like wild children who no one cared about.

"Where can those guys go?" The evening wind was a little boring, and Xiong Fuji used his brain rarely.

"The sea of thundering sand is at least a thousand kilometers in circumference." Jia Xiao's mouth made a gurgling sound, and he said indistinctly, "You haven't seen their exaggerated mobility, as long as you run out of our field of vision and go around in a circle, even the flying dragon species will be difficult to find." When Wang Li's hunters fled, the boy almost collided with the lifeboat, and he knew the condition of the boat best.

"That's not necessarily, at least more than half of the realm in the Thundering Sand Sea is a dangerous place full of high-level monsters, and it is a territory that even five-star hunters dare not trespass into. No matter how crazy those guys are, they don't dare to challenge the limits of human beings with a plank boat. The cat stood on the shoulders of the little group leader and said thoughtfully.

"The airship that challenged the festival," Shentu Miaoling opened her teeth lightly, mentioning the past events of six months ago, the girl's expression was still a little unnatural, but she still continued, "That airship didn't take off from Golden Feather City, nor from any of the banker's properties. The landing pad is set up in a clearing near the swamp in the water submersion forest, where the dealer had operated for nearly half a year in advance. ”

"Sister Miao Ling means that those Wang Li hunters' lair is nearby?" Qin Shui Yu asked.

"It is much more difficult to raid the dragon ship than to infiltrate the venue of the challenge festival, even if there are only seven people on the battlefield, the intelligence personnel and logistics supplies must far exceed this number." The badges pinned to the chests of the hunters symbolize the largest logistics system in the entire hunter world, and they certainly know the importance of supplies and intelligence, "Those guys want to appear on the hunting ground at the right time, and the lair must not be too far away from this battlefield." ”

"I see!" Nie Xiaoyang suddenly clapped his hands, but was secretly glared at by the archer, so he had to bow his head in disdain.

"That being said, but just according to the mileage of that small boat in half a day, it is more than a hundred kilometers." Lu Xiu smiled bitterly, "Not to mention that we don't have the manpower to search and arrest, even if we mobilize all the manpower to participate in the harvest festival, it's not enough." ”

"Maybe it's not so pessimistic." Shentu Miaoling stretched out her hand into the quiver, and Shaoqing pulled out a roll of paper, "This is the map of the desert that the union's scrivener team surveyed and mapped before the festival begins—what are you looking at?" I'll give it back to Rum Senpai. ”

"At least the seniors don't need it for a while." Nie Xiaoyang

The teenagers sat on the floor and hurriedly unfolded their maps. It doesn't make much sense to record the terrain in the sand sea, and a gust of wind can completely change the terrain of the entire hunting ground. The map is divided according to the intersection of geology and the territory of the monsters, and the drawings on the paper show crooked blocks of different colors.

The girl seemed to be prepared, and her finger tapped somewhere, "This is probably where we are." ”

Qin Shuiyu estimated the proportion, and drew a large circle on the map with his elbow, which occupied almost half of the entire map area: "Even if that group of people is non-stop, they can only move in this range for half a day." ”

"You can't easily reach it from the union station, and you have to avoid the routes of the airship's daily patrols." Jia Xiao cut more than half of the range demarcated by the head of the regiment, "To the east of this line are the safety hunting grounds demarcated by the trade union, I don't think they will be stupid enough to do things under the nose of the trade union." ”

"It's not over yet." After the gossip of his companions, Lu Xiu gradually fell into this reasoning, he picked up the sand on the ground with his hands, and twisted it on the drawing like a dragonfly, "The coverage of the Scribe Observatory should also be excluded. ”

"Hey, how did you know about the Guild Scrivener's arrangement?" Xiong asked puzzled.

"Huh?" The little dragon man withdrew his hand as if he had touched hot oil, and Shaoqing said with a red face and half concealed, "I...... Guess, considering efficiency and safety, the layout of the observatory should also be traceable. ”

The companions saw it in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, but they all silently envied in their hearts that someone had a little follower who was a scrivener.

"Then exclude the territory of the dragon clan and the high-level wyvern species." Shentu Miaoling drew everyone's attention back, and the girl grabbed the sand and covered a few remaining blank spaces, and looked at the remaining blocks, "Huh...... Is there so much more? ”

The huge map was divided in a few words, and only a few places remained, but a little bit as big as a finger on the map was placed on the ground to be a vast area of more than ten kilometers, not to mention that these blocks were not connected with each other, and some were even on the opposite side of the hunting ground, just stepping through these areas, I am afraid it would take several days.

"It's been busy for a long time...... Still can't do it. Xiong Fuji fell down with his head up, and yawned long, the boy's injuries had not healed, and his spirit had not improved.

Seeing that his companions fell silent, Feng Manyun pursed his lips, picked up a large handful of sand by himself, and raised his hand in the middle of the map. Thin sand trickled down the boy's fingers, and in a few breaths a spired sand tower was erected on the map.

"Manyun, what does this mean?" Jia Xiao said suspiciously.

"This area is all within the territory of the Sublic Dragon." The white-clothed hunter spoke, still letting the sand flow. The sand was getting bigger and bigger, almost overshadowing the edge of the map, and the boy stopped, "That's pretty much it, even if it's that kind of arrogant boat, you don't want to be targeted by the Submersible Dragon." ”

"Hey...... Is the Subnorkel so domineering? The team members were shocked, and even put the hiding place of Wang Li's hunting group in second place for the time being, "This is almost half of the hunting ground!" ”

"Gluttonous eaters only have food and reproduction in their eyes, and have no concept of territory." Feng Manyun said lightly.

"You haven't been back to Xishu for nearly half a year, how accurate is this information?" Leader Qin didn't mean to blame, but if the situation was true, it might become the biggest advantage of the Little Hunting Group.

"The intelligence update was a month ago, and I don't think it's too different from the current situation. This is what Old Jack bought for his life, at least much more accurately than the Hunters' Guild - those guys, I'm afraid they haven't updated the Submarine Dragon's sphere of influence in two years. ”

The territory of the submarine dragon has been re-delineated, and most of the entire map has been buried under the sand. In the circle drawn by the little head earlier, only two small sharp corners were still pitifully exposed. The young hunters brushed off the paper-covered yellow sand and looked at the two areas.

"The handover of deep, remote, and large monster territories, if it were me, I would have chosen it this way!" Nie Xiaoyang slapped the map hard, "I can't be wrong." ”

"But it's still two...... Ah, if only there was more intelligence. Qin Shuiyu raised his hand and stroked the cat's back.

"Wait," Feng Manyun pointed to the area slightly north, "I know this place...... I used to go a long time ago. ”

"Xishu is dozens of kilometers from there," the bear asked with a big grin, "do you have the time to explore that far?" ”

"It's just a coincidence." The white-clothed hunter shook his head violently, pushing a figure out of his thoughts, "There are hidden huts there, and the ground is suitable for docking ordinary boats and airships. Probably a poacher's private observatory, but the poacher ...... Well, I guess I'm in the Knights' prison right now. ”

"That's it!" Qin Shuiyu stood up "Teng".

"Hey!" Fang Cai was completely brought into the rhythm of the discussion, Jia Xiao reacted at this time, he looked around at his companions, "You don't want to ......"

"Of course not!" The little head tapped the one-star hunter's helmet with his knuckles, "How can we do it with a few of us, scoundrels who can't even handle Lord Anfei and so many five-star hunters?" ”

"Not to mention whether you can resist the potion of that evil sect, but you can-the airship is still being renovated, do we have to go all the way there?"

Seeing that his companions were not dizzy, the young man breathed a sigh ......of relief, "That's good." ”

"But you can report the results to Instructor Anfei, I don't think he'll ignore our results." Shentu Miaoling marked the map, rolled it up carefully, and put it back in the quiver, "Where is the instructor?" ”

"It's supposed to be in the aft cabin, those Eru mechanics promised to fix the propellers before nightfall." Lu Xiu raised his hand towards the stern of the boat.

Without warning, a flare rises from the Dragonman's fingers.

After the battle, there was a lot of interaction between the dragon ship and the airship, and all kinds of signals sounded from the two ships from time to time, and it was not uncommon for a signal to be issued. But now it is not the signal tower of the two ships, but the end of the horizon.

"Hell...... What is that? Feeling the dazzling spots of light in the afterglow, the teenagers turned their heads to look to the east in unison.

It was the largest flare that the people of the Little Hunting Group had ever seen in their lives.

The light burning on the dome no longer belongs to the category of "flares", but the second round of the sun rising from the east at dusk. It was as if tens of thousands of flares had been bundled together and lifted into the air at the same time, and the bands of light that rose were so dazzling that they couldn't see the basic colors. The light band seemed to be carrying too much explosives, and the process of rising was slow and anxious, but it still climbed up the sand dunes little by little, climbed over the twilight, and rose to a height that no one would ignore.

Immediately after, it was dawn.

…………

Decades later, ordinary people living in Sand City can still remember the calamity that befell Locklac that night.

At first, it just got darker than usual. Before the whole city lifted martial law, whether it was a small person in Shengdou or a wealthy family, all families closed their doors and windows, and nested indoors and did not go out. The slight gloom of the sky was not taken into account.

The Sandstorm of the Fengshan Dragon can stretch for dozens of kilometers, and there are times when the whole of Locklac is covered in wild sand, and this harvest festival is a little too peaceful compared to the most dangerous days - except for a small wind that swept through the sand city at the beginning, the city continued as usual for the next few days
