Chapter 62: Temptation (3000)

If anyone can observe the landscape of the valley area from above, the training camp is one of the small but special spots. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The nearby ground is shaded by a dense canopy of trees, and three rivers can be faintly seen running through the middle, except for the harsh earthy yellow near the training camp, and an equally earthy mountain path is interspersed.

The bored Jia Xiao is repairing the roof of a wooden house, which is a habit that Xiong Fuji has passed on to everyone. In the past month, in order to keep the training camp cabins intact, each trainee hunter has repaired a lot of houses.

The teenagers are not born carpenters, but they have come up with a lot of ways to survive under the pressure of survival. Although the house they had repaired was like a patched pleated skirt, and the regular shape could not be seen from all angles, after all, it was still inhabitable, and Amphinis turned a blind eye.

Kuma always picks the thickest and largest planks to repair all the holes he can see, especially riveting a dozen planks on the roof for "reinforcement". After he crushed a wooden house, the tomboy was no longer willing to let him fix the roof. There were only two people left in the camp, so he had to do the work himself.

"Did you observe the signal from the exploration team?" The boy asked for the first time.

Xiong Fuji handed a thick wooden board to Jia Xiao, who was busy on the roof, "Are you annoyed?" At lunchtime, I saw their signal arrows, which were on the slope to the south of us. ”

"Don't want this." The boy took the plank, measured it in the hole, shook his head, and handed it down, "Just take an arm-long board." ”

Xiong Fuji took back the plank, grabbed the ends with both hands, and with the stimulation of his muscles, he only heard a "click", and the heavy plank broke into two in response. Big Bear closed his eyes, blocked the sawdust fragments flying towards his face, and threw out an arm-sized piece: "Give." ”

Jia Xiao cupped his forehead and sighed softly. He didn't know what to do with this monster who could only solve problems with muscles and combat: "In the morning they were still searching aimlessly, and by noon they were already consciously moving in one direction, did they have eyebrows?" ”

"Found it so soon?" Big Bear threw another plank from his hand onto the roof as well.

"That kid is very shrewd, he will definitely have a way." Jia Xiao said without worry, "Maybe they will be able to bring back the exact location of the colorful bird's nest tonight." ”

"Cut, I knew that I would have gone out together." Big Bear was a little reluctant, "After defeating that nest of birds, you can sleep peacefully tonight." ”

"That's impossible." Jia Xiao smiled bitterly, "Even if we solve the problem of the colored birds as soon as possible, the monsters in this valley may not retreat immediately." Before the time limit is reached, we may be in danger at any time. ”

"So we're just here doing nothing?" The big man said unhappily.

"No, we still have five houses that have been burned down by the big monster bird to repair." The tomboy pouted, "Think it's for your excess energy." ”

With a drooping face, the big man lifted the wooden planks that were scattered on the ground and used them for repair, and walked towards another wooden house. His strength is to be used in battle, not in vain.

"Tomboy?" He stopped suddenly, "Do you feel that there was a cold wind blowing just now?" ”

As he spoke, Xiong Buji put down the repair materials in his hand, lifted the spear erected in the corner of the wall, and Jia Xiao also jumped down from the roof with agility, and drew a big sword from the outer beam of the wooden house and placed it across his chest.

This big sword is bigger and heavier than the standard, and it feels like it is shaky in Jia Xiao's hand. The blade of the heavy sword was not very sharp, and this murder weapon could do enough damage with just the heavy and hard blade.

A gloomy wind blew in front of the two of them, and although it was not strong, it made the trainee hunters' hairs stand on end. After a month of uninterrupted combat training, the teenagers more or less developed a slight intuition about danger.

"At three o'clock, in the woods on the outskirts of the camp." Xiong Fuji took a deep breath.

"Isn't it a little thing like a wild deer?" Jia Xiao asked with a fluke mentality, Anfinis had only been withdrawn for half a day, and an uninvited guest came to this camp, and the luck of the two teenagers was also extremely bad.

"It's impossible, it's very momentum, and the nearby insects don't scream." Xiong Fuji was trembling with excitement, "I can barely hear the footsteps and breathing, and it is well hidden." I know he's there, but I haven't seen the deity until now. ”

Big Bear's fighting instincts are the best in the squad, otherwise his rampage fighting style would have killed him a hundred times. Until there is actual intelligence, it is undoubtedly correct to believe that this simple-minded big man's inferences are correct. Jia Xiao slightly exposed his big sword on his head, and put most of his energy in the direction that Xiong Fuji was pointing at.

"A professional predator." He said secretly, and by the way, he despised the idea that "maybe it's just a small animal" in his mind.

Monsters could attack from the woodland at any time, and although there were still two rows of wooden houses where the monsters were hiding, this distance might not even be a minimum barrier in front of monsters of unknown size and characteristics.

Another gust of wind blew, and the atmosphere in the camp had dropped to freezing. Jia Xiao's feet unconsciously took a step back, but Xiong Buer took a big step forward at the same time.

"Hey! What are you doing? Sent to death? The tomboy scolded under his breath.

"Of course it's a fight with it, if we continue to confront it like this, our physical strength will be drained first." Xiong Fuji didn't look back.

"Our purpose is to ensure survival, and try not to fight when we can avoid fighting." Jia Xiao reminded loudly that he was afraid that the big man in front of him would rush into the woods as soon as his head was hot.

"What then? Tell it to come over and chat and drink tea? ”

"Don't be presumptuous, I'll see if I can get it out of the way." As he spoke, Jia Xiao put down the posture of the horizontal sword, put the big sword behind his back, and took out an earthy yellow ball from his waist.

"You have to be careful when I throw it, this provocative gesture may directly provoke it, and maybe not only will it not drive it away, but it will attract it." Jia Xiao reminded.

"Just what I want." The big man shook his shield.

The ball came out of his hand and went straight in the direction that Xiong Fuji was pointing.

Before the ball could hit the ground, there was a sudden rustle in the woods, and a puff of needle-like things flew out from between the leaves, as if rehearsed, and hit the ball accurately.

The ball exploded with a "bang", emitting smoke that was also earthy yellow.

"Stinky boy, why don't you say it before you throw the poop jade!" With weapons in both hands, Xiong Fuji had no way to cover his mouth and nose, so he had to forcibly hold his breath and take a few steps back.

"How do I know this monster has ranged attacks?" Jia Xiao said innocently.

Poop jade is made from the feces of large monsters after they are dried, and most dragons rely on excrement to confirm their territory, and the feces of different species usually cause the monster to be alert and disgusted, thus serving the purpose of driving away monsters.

However, the feces of predator species usually have a foul smell, and the two teenagers look a little embarrassed when they are kicked up with dust made of feces at close range.

"It's something like bone spurs or scales, and if you can attack with this thing, the monster may have the ability to 'overgenerate at speed'." Xiong Buji glanced at the bone needle that was stuck obliquely on the ground, "The body is on the tree, what should we do?" ”

"Keep throwing poop jade, and the monster hasn't rushed up yet, which proves that the props are not completely ineffective." Jia Xiao immediately made a decision and took out two more poop jades.

The two balls flew out in quick succession, and the monster in the tree shot another bone spur, bursting one of them, while the other flew over the two cabins to the outskirts of the camp.

The poop jade exploded in the open space on the edge of the training camp, and the earthy yellow smoke dispersed everywhere. There was a "purring" sound from the tree, as if it was hesitating something.

The leaves shook even more, and the two teenagers looked nervously across the camp, lest a terrifying monster rush through the middle in the blink of an eye.

The tree shuddered suddenly, and a large, streamlined black figure sprang out from between the branches. Jia Xiao and Xiong Fuji hurriedly raised their respective weapons to block the vital points of the head and chest.

But the expected attack did not strike, and the tremor suddenly shifted to a tree farther away from the two, and then to another farther away. The monster jumped back and forth from branch to branch, and in a moment it was away from the trainee hunters.

The two teenagers maintained the action of raising their shields for a while before they relaxed under Jia Xiao's heavy sigh.

"Do you know what it is?" The tomboy asked.

"If it's Nie Xiaoyang or that girl, you might know." Kumafuji said hatefully that his specialty was combat, and the characteristics of memory monsters were not his strong point.

"A black and light body that shoots strong thorns, and a huge monster that barely makes a sound when it moves." Jia Xiao muttered, "Being targeted by this kind of natural killer, our days in the camp will never be better again." ”

"Isn't the monster gone?" Xiong Fuji put down the spear and shield in his hand.

"It's not that simple," Jia Xiao grimaced, "High-level monsters have a certain degree of intelligence. It didn't rush into a rage in our three provocations, and I don't think such a calm monster would just give up. ”

"It's best to come back, I want to fight it for real time."

"Looking at the way it fights, it doesn't look like a dignified type." The tomboy thought and shoved a candy stick into his mouth, "You just have to pray that he won't shoot a pod of that thing through the window while you're sleeping." ”

The hair on the back of Kuma's neck stood on end, as if he had really been attacked from behind.

"Tomboy, this monster is strong, stronger than anything I've ever encountered before." Big Bear became serious, "We've got to kill it." ”

His logic was too jumpy, but the boy with the snack knew what the big man meant.

The work of the search team is the most important, no matter what happens in the camp, as long as the three people do not come back voluntarily, they cannot take the initiative to recall the team members who are outside. Otherwise, everyone will run out of stamina and supplies in the camp, which will only make the situation worse and worse. What's more, this monster that has a glimpse of it is a powerful predator species that is very likely to cause the destruction of the team, and even if the two defenders can't crusade or expel it, they must at least hold it back and not cause trouble to the search team.

"I know." Jia Xiao's gaze was deep and firm, "When it comes back, it's really time to work hard." ”
