"Well, you're here at the right time." Amphines climbed the last step of the rope ladder and climbed into the cabin. Some boatmen have already retracted the rope ladder and closed the hatch. The interior of the ship was brightly lit, and the coolness that leaked into the cabin was dispelled in an instant. The snow leaves on Old Ailu's body slowly melted under the burning stone lamp, and a few muddy paw prints appeared on the deck.

"If your boat is farther away, the teacher and I will be sleeping in the pine forest tonight." Luo Pingyang took the towel handed by the boatman, wiped the moisture on the armor, and said to the person in front of him.

Zhuang Du crossed his hands and looked at the two legendary hunters in their outfits without saying a word. Amphinis shook the ice water on his back: "It's still early, I want to turn around and head west before heading back." We still have information to confirm on that hillside, and we won't delay you for long. ”

Bai Shao's appearance completely disrupted the itinerary of the Black Star Twins. The two six-star powerhouses chased all the way for more than ten kilometers, and after losing the trace of the enemy, they searched the surrounding area for a long time before they reluctantly planned to give up. When they came to their senses, the two had already strayed too far from their destination.

Before it got dark, the six-star hunters finally contacted Zhuang Dusk's ship. Some of the group's men have been assigned to villages and towns, while the rest remain on the ship to patrol the air, trying to eliminate the slightly more dangerous hidden dangers in the blue pine forest in advance. The position where the signal was raised was in the depths of the hunting ground. Thinking of the warning that Amphines had given him a few hours earlier to "shrink the line", Zhuang Dusk turned the bow of the ship and chased after him after a battle between heaven and man.

"Is it a trace of an ancient dragon?" Seeing the two masters again, there was no sadness or joy in the tone of the second son of the banker.

"We're not entirely sure, but it's unlikely." Six-star Ailu explained. The white-clothed hunter appeared early, and the two of them didn't have time to investigate in depth before the battle began: "Do you know the location of that mountain?" ”

"After your warning arrived, the Far Hunter sent another detailed message." Zhuang Du nodded, his face darkening a little, "It's mentioned in the information that if you start from here, you can reach that area in about ten minutes. ”

"That couldn't be better." Luo Pingyang found a corner by the hatch and sat down, "Let's rest here for a while, and prepare to rappel in a quarter of an hour." ”

Hearing this, the young master of the dealer under the mask laughed strangely: "No...... Seeing that it was getting dark, there was something wrong with the abseiling, and I planned to stop the hunting boat at the top of the mountain. There are still more than a dozen freelance hunters on standby in the airship, so it is better to send them together and investigate them with more eyes, and maybe they can find more. ”

"Just send three or five higher-level guys with us, and we don't have to go out with all of them. Your ship is too big to be guarded by some men. Amphinis sat down next to the student, tiredness on her face. In a harsh environment, the battle and tracking along the way make the top powerhouses not light.

"How's that going to work?" Zhuang Dui's voice was gloomy, but it deliberately forced out a bit of untimely enthusiasm, "There are dozens of shipwrights and mechanics on the ship, and I plan to send them all down...... By the way, even I went to investigate. It doesn't matter what kind of airship defense it is, what does it matter if it is attacked by monsters - we won't survive sooner or later anyway, so it's better to get off the ship together, and wait for the ancient dragon species to visit each other, and if they are fed the natural disaster, they will die a tragic death. ”

The six-star hunter discovered Zhuang Dui's abnormality in hindsight, Luo Pingyang raised his head suspiciously, only to see the captain in front of him take off the mask on his head, and look at himself with a pair of ridiculously large eyeballs without squinting: "...... are you?"

"Cologne...... Wherever the Black Star Twins go, they will get into trouble with the ancient dragons. The second son of the dealer gritted his teeth and hammered his fist on the bulkhead beside him. There was a "bang" in the cabin, which frightened the boatman who was waiting not far away: "We are only a dozen kilometers away from a living natural disaster, and it is too late to escape from this distance, but you still want me to get closer?" When you two tricked me into coming up to the snowy mountain, you never said that you would have such a request! ”

"I told you before I left, since the muddy waters of Snow Mountain have Mo Lin's participation, it is normal for some dangers to be in place." Amphines opened her eyes slowly and said unhurriedly, "I thought you were ready. ”

"I don't have the same definition of 'danger' as you do......," the young man said, pointing to the night outside the porthole, "The dragon-level gluttonous species, coupled with the large-scale beast tide it causes, is called 'danger'. But a damn cologne...... It's pretty much the same to say it's 'suicide'! ”

The young man approached the two strong men and slapped his cheek with one hand: "How did this face become what it is today, have you all forgotten?" If I had to choose, I wouldn't want to get any closer to that creature in my life...... I can provide you with money and information, but it doesn't mean that I want to be your dead soldier. If you need a battleship that is not afraid of death, find another hunter as soon as possible! ”

"Zhuang Dusk, I understand your feelings, but now is not the time to complain to you." Luo Pingyang looked at the young man with distorted facial features and persuaded in a deep voice.

In the swamp, Zhuang Twilight had been in contact with Xia Long at zero distance. In front of him, Oonazchi used the most brutal means to easily slaughter a team of royal hunters, and personally stained his body with blood poison. At that time, the second son of the Zhuang family, driven by the desire to survive, had to use up the only remaining dragon marrow slurry essence on his body, and only then did he escape his life for a moment. As a result, he had to endure the pain of poisonous blood invasion for a long time in the uninhabited hunting ground, until the Black Star Twins rushed to hear the news.

That kind of memory would be enough to fill every nightmare in the rest of his life. In fact, after receiving Anfinis's previous warning, the young man could still endure without saying goodbye and escape from this land of right and wrong, which is already considered benevolent.

"Listen, I will finish the defense and evacuation of these villages in Shanbei as they are, this is part of our agreement. Other than that, I won't be at your disposal until this commission is over. Zhuang Dusk said in a showdown. He made a few gestures to the boatman beside him, as if he was directing the hunting ship to turn around and return to the edge of Xuelin Village: "Don't look at me like this, I still have a lot of time to live, and I still have my subordinates and clansmen to support, and I don't have time to do these life-giving jobs." ”

"Don't you want to ask, why are we here? How far away is it from the ancient dragon habitat? Amphines stood up and sighed, as if she had given up on the idea of taking a nap. Seeing that the other party did not move, he asked himself and replied, "Tell you, we met that guy, the lone defector hunter you met when you were in the Swamp." ”

Zhuang Dui had already decided to turn his head and leave, but his footsteps suddenly stopped. His mind was reminiscent of the strange powerhouse who called himself "White North" - the white clothes, the mask, the sword, and the exaggerated strength of the skill, which still came back to his memory from time to time. The young man turned his head, and the mask had fallen back on his face at some point: "He is also the person of the 'Eyes of Death'?" ”

"One of the leaders, we thought that if we caught him, the mystery of this organization would be solved. However, he came to this hunting ground before us, and the nearby terrain was his advantage. Luo Pingyang said regretfully, "Now that this road is no longer passable, he almost planted it in our hands once, and he will definitely be much more cautious when he appears in the future." ”

Amphinis looked up, "Before we can take down the Eyes of Death, we must at least know what they're doing, even if it's to explore the ancient dragon's habitat." The people who put the dealer on the path of destruction are right in front of you, and you want to see them pay the price, right? Or is that 'I want him dead' just talking? ”

Zhuang Du sighed irritably, and the expression under the mask changed for a while: "Black Star Twins, your strength should best match your tongue skills - tell the command cabin not to return first." Also, prepare pen and paper for me. ”

"It's better to leave early, we can tell those young people about the situation here later." Master Anfei seemed to be in a hurry.

"I'm not here to contact those imps." Zhuang Du took the paper clip and scribbled something on it, "It's my fleet, I wanted to confirm their location for a long time, but I was delayed by the signal you sent." ”

If it is too close to the habitat of the ancient dragon species, the taming birds will also be intimidated by natural disasters and will not want to leave the nest. The hunting ship hovered over the pine forest and waited until the bird had departed. Luo Pingyang watched thoughtfully as Zhuang Duan wrote the short message with a few strokes, stamped his private seal, and put it in a slender bamboo tube. His expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed the young man's arm: "Wait a minute, your fleet ...... When was the last time news came? ”

"It's been almost half a day, and they have already crossed the southern border of the snow-capped mountains, and the letter birds sent in the last round should have been sent back long ago." The masked man said worriedly. Feeling that with his answer, the faces of the two six-star hunters became more and more solemn, and Zhuang Dui's chest was sullen for no reason: "You don't want to talk about it...... My letter bird was intercepted by those guys, right? ”

Thinking of the "more direct means" that Bai Shao said before he fled, Amphinis felt alarmed. Legend has it that hunters can protect themselves from any form of attack, but others may not: "It could be worse - hell, don't worry about the ancient dragon tracks, hurry back, the imps in Xuelin Village may be in danger." ”

…………

"Most of the bioelectricity doesn't work for me, and the seniors don't really need to block that blow for me." Qing'er pouted and said distressed as she walked.

"It's just some skin trauma, it's not a big deal." Kuma's hunting suit was half-open, revealing a muscular arm. The scars on the hunter's arms were sung and hideous, and the yellowish scorch marks radiating from his forearms to his chest were still new, as if they were caused by an electric shock: "My tower shield is always meant to appear in the most dangerous places on the battlefield, and it is a dereliction of duty to miss an attack." Are you questioning the fight of your predecessors? Hiss-"

As he walked, the wound on the hunter's arm was pulled, and several tiny streaks of blood immediately burst into the scorched marks. The little girl also took a breath and hurriedly handed out a bottle of recovering agent: "That...... It doesn't matter, right? ”

"Get some sleep, take off a layer of skin, and you'll be fine." The spearman rubbed Zuo Qing's head. The potion should not be drunk as water, this is the opinion of the Anfei instructor. In the case that the injury is not serious and he is not in a hurry to fight, the hunter still has to rely more on his self-healing ability to deal with it: "Go faster, everyone is still waiting for us - Jia Xiao!" ”

Approaching the entrance of the village on the take-off and landing floor, the team saw the busy villagers from a distance. Jia Xiao and the aborigines were sitting together, directing the villagers to dismember a slightly larger toothed beast. The corpses of several monsters were placed on the side, and for a while, the blood was in the sky, attracting a lot of mosquitoes and flies, and at first glance it looked like a makeshift open-air rough processing workshop.

Hearing the call of his companion, the epee hunter stopped what he was doing and shook his bloodstained hand: "Yo, you're back." ”

"Senior...... Aren't you supposed to be recuperating in the cabin? The two of them came closer, and Qing'er asked with wide eyes.

"I didn't hurt my bones in the previous fight, I just waited for it to go down. It's you-" Jia Xiao looked at the miserable Xiong Buji and said, "This look looks like you've suffered a little." Is the battle still bearable? ”

"An electric dragon, just didn't have any branches. The snow-capped mountain species have left their native environment and are generally much weaker than described in the illustrated book. The spear hunter glanced around. A bonfire was burning in the clearing, and in the distance, several villagers were gathering around a strange-looking bird and dragon species, poking its minions with their blades from time to time, discussing what to do with this strange beast that they had never seen before, and Feng Chen's father was among them: "What's going on here?" ”

"Everyone in the hunting group is fighting, and I want to help before I return to the team." Jia Xiao explained, "Instead of wasting the corpses, it is better to make all of them into territory markers, and also to recycle some of the materials by the way." ”

Xiong Fuji carefully identified the beast corpses collected by the villagers, and pouted imperceptibly. The ground is full of monsters that the small hunting group has crusaded against a few days ago, and in order to maintain the deterrent effect for a long time, most of them have done simple embalming.

However, the level of the monsters is generally not high, and most of the products on their bodies are waste, and the value of the materials is not as good as the transportation costs, and they are not even as good as the mountain fruits and game that are special products of Xuelin Village. Seeing the meaningful expression on Jia Xiao's face, the spear hunter realized that he was really mobilizing the aborigines to find something to do. With something new in front of them, they can at least forget about the crisis hanging over their heads a little, so as not to panic early.

Thinking of this, Xiong Fuji didn't say much, and instead said, "We have to think of some new ways to maintain the village's defenses as soon as possible, the deterrent effect of the flesh and blood of low-level monsters is fading, and the predator species that appear around the village are showing signs of becoming stronger and stronger." ”

With the battle instinct of a spearman, he could feel the breath of the approaching dinosaur with his eyes closed: "I'm worried about the future battle. If there is still no news of Zhuang Dusk's fleet, I can only propose to the regiment commander to find a way to organize the evacuation by myself - I don't believe that guy, the two instructors are not as good at knowing people as they think. ”

"Uh...... I have no objection, but I should think about it in my heart. Jia Xiao raised his head and looked in the direction of the landing pad. The Far Hunter had already landed, and the light of a signal flare rose again in the air halfway up the mountain. The heavy sword hunter pulled down the clairvoyance, and the emblem on the air compartment of the black battleship in the lens flashed fluorescent, which was clearly Zhuang Dui's private emblem, "Strange, the instructor is still exploring outside, Xuelin Village has us on duty, why did Zhuang Dusk's ship rush back at this time?" ”
