Chapter 780
After preparing for the night in Xuelin Village, when it set sail again, the Far Hunt had already been replaced by a spare pilot team. Although Sha Minghai did not stay in the driver's seat for three days, as the backbone of the hunting ship, he was undoubtedly the one who consumed the most mental energy in the flight. At the strong suggestion of his companions, Sha Minghai went back to the lounge after boarding the ship, and slept with his head covered in the rocking cabin all morning, and did not refill his energy until noon.
By the time the pilot returned to the bridge, he looked down from the porthole and saw that the ground had already turned into a white snowy scene. Outside the command room, the regiment commander and his entourage were making final adjustments to weapons and hunting equipment, Xiao Yang hung a pot of hot drinks on his waist and beckoned: "Yo, have you rested yet?" β
"Thank you for taking care of you...... What's going on now? β
"Further south, there is the exploration area that Yingying demarcated last night. The team intends to absolve here. The little head straightened the hammer on his back and explained.
The airship hovered between two horn peaks facing north and south, and the area between the two peaks occupied more than seventy percent of the area delineated by Lu Shushi. Above the snow line, the valley is carved into a huge round chair-shaped cirque by the action of heavy glacial ice. The cirque is rocky and rocky, and although there is no vegetation to cover it, it is difficult to get the best view on a hunting boat.
"Earlier, Sealed Dust had spotted a subtle monster aura on both peaks. We were going to divide our troops into two routes, and follow the ridge of the two mountains all the way to the top, and if all went well, we would meet at the saddle before dark. Qin Shuiyu pointed in a certain direction from afar, "The detailed information Rumo will tell you, and before we come back, the affairs of the hunting ship will be handed over to you." β
Sha Minghai made a hunter's salute and turned around to open the command hatch: "I'll arrange the landing, and the airship will be on standby near the area you said." The young pilot paused, "Hunter Ancestor bless, I hope this trip will make some discoveries." β
"It's better to be like this." Lu Xiu nodded worriedly, "We're in a race against a bunch of crazy monsters. If it is delayed until tomorrow, even with the mobility of the Far Hunt, it may not be able to return to support Xuelin Village. β
Watching Sha Minghai dodge into the command cabin, Lu Xiu only felt a pair of small hands wrap around his side, and lightly closed the buckle of his waist bag for him. Lu Yingying whispered close to the ear of the specially selected hunter: "There are temporary measures, those villages will not be disturbed by monsters in the next few days, and the safety of Xuelin Village and several other villages does not need to be worried about for the time being." β
"But you," the little scribe took a step back and pursed his lips, "according to the law of migration, the closer you get to the source of the disaster......
"The stronger the monster, the stronger, we understand." Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, Lu Xiu preemptively said, "Didn't everyone already discuss it last night?" This is the necessary work of the Little Hunter Group now, and 'danger' cannot be used as an excuse to abandon it. β
"Although I don't want to say that, no matter what you encounter there, it is not something that the small hunting group can deal with on its own at this stage. I shared my discovery to warn you of this danger......" Lu Yingying sighed, "I should have thought that it would become what it is now. β
The Hunter raised his hand, gently put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and said seriously: "We have made an agreement, this time the team is just exploring, and will not try to deal with dangers beyond their ability, we will be in control of the following aspects." You've done your part well, and the rest is the hunter's job. β
The body temperature of the dragonmen seems to be higher than that of ordinary humans, and just by leaning closely, the female scrivener can feel the oncoming heat. Lu Yingying's cheeks flushed with shame, she forced herself to settle down, but her brows suddenly frowned imperceptibly: "There is one last thing." β
The girl silently raised her left hand, and a white blood flower suddenly appeared on the white gauze tied around her wrist. The wound seemed to have just opened a moment ago, and the blood halo expanded to the size of a coin in a few breaths, and it kept smearing outward.
"I'm sorry......" Lu Xiu subconsciously apologized.
"It's okay." Lu Yingying covered her wound as usual, she closed her eyes and felt the pain in her wrist for a moment, "Let me tell you that the danger this time is even stronger than the one besieged by the Emerald Tower Flying Dragon Species." If you want to return safely, you must be very careful. β
Sha Minghai has handed over command and is methodically lowering the height of the hunting ship. Microphones sounded throughout the airship, reminding the non-combatants to return to their respective cabins. Feeling the gazes of his companions beside him, Lu Xiu let go of the little scrivener's shoulder with hindsight, and said in a bit of a panic: "About that...... Rest assured, we're never going to let our guard down. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I know, it must be a dragon! This guy not only haunts the sea of thundering sand, but also has an observation record on the snowy mountains, right? Xiao Yang held a wooden staff in his hand and walked the snow. With a bulging hunting outfit and a fur scarf tied around his neck, the tall hunter seemed to have recognized the limits of his hardiness since his last promotion.
The cat is on all fours, its claws firmly gripping the ice, and its flesh is not reluctant to stick to the snow. As soon as she got off the boat, Ailu's spirit was much more excited, and the thick fur of the orcs seemed to be born for the ice field battle: "It's impossible, the few records that appear in the snow-capped mountain area are all in the territory of Peresent. If you want to see the active dragon on the snowy mountains, it is almost the same to go to the Old World. β
"Then ......" Nie Xiaoyang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and his cane tapped the ground heavily, "What about Frozen Gelong?" The Snow Mountain subspecies of Yan Gelong, it is said that the ecology of the entire species has been completely changed, and having a monster of that level is enough to cause this level of commotion, right? β
"Okay, Xiaoyang, don't guess, there is still a long way to go today, we have to maintain our physical strength." Jia Xiao squinted his eyes, trying not to let the glare of the snow surface enter his eyes, "There is an adult Yan Ge Dragon in the ghost rage, and the hunter unions of the two countries are watching its every move. If there were signs of migration of such a subspecies, it would have been announced to the world by the hunters' union a long time ago, and it would be our turn to investigate? Or is it ...... You're not expecting to meet that kind of thing, are you? β
"How is that possible?" The Twin Blade Hands let out an exclamation and looked at Lu Xiudao in the center of the team, "The danger has been foreshadowed, I'm just ruling out all kinds of possibilities." The head of the regiment specially allocated more manpower to us along the way, isn't this also the reason? β
"Knowing that there would be danger, I had planned to have fewer people with me." Lu Xiu spread out his hands and said helplessly, "No matter what you have to face along the way, I don't want to involve everyone." β
Under the protests of the specially selected hunters, the little head still arranged for Xiao Yang, Jia Xiao, Feng Chen, and himself to walk with the dragonmen. The supernumerary team walked on the hillside, leaving a long trail behind them, Qin Shuiyu used a wooden staff to support the ground, turned around and exhaled a cold breath and said: "Ying Ying mentioned to me that her ability is not a prophecy, but more like a sixth sense or battle intuition. However, the object of its perception is not itself, but Lu Xiu, who is the source of blood. Her omen only showed that this danger could appear in any corner of the mountain, regardless of the distribution of our personnel or the route we traveled. β
"In that case, we should choose the lower hillside when we get off the boat." Jia Xiao covered his eyes with one hand. The cold was still second to the south slope in direct sunlight, but the more you traveled to the top of the mountain, the deeper and softer the snow became, reflecting a bright and dazzling light. In such an environment, it is difficult to just move forward, let alone explore and fight.
"And then let the two girls go down this longer road?" Xiao Yang pouted, "This is not a gentleman's demeanor." β
"Take thisβ" On the way forward, the dust dodged out of the pile of rubble. The Dragon Whisperer threw Jia Xiao a herb, "Apply it to the lenses of the clairvoyant, and adjust the knob to the lowest scale, you can temporarily cope with the glare of the snow." β
The Great Sword Hunter took off his glasses as he was told, and the juice of the herbs stained the lenses a dark green. Through the clairvoyance, the surrounding light really softened a lot.
Chadi frowned: "There is one last thing. β
