The airship finally wobbled to a halt on a flat ground halfway up the mountain.

Feng Chen wiped the sweat from his head, and his trembling heart finally stuffed back into his throat. It's still a long way from the lava line, and the temperature is unusually cool due to the foothill vegetation. The hunter's sweat is not due to the hot climate on the volcano, but the small boat under his feet has almost shattered every bit of the hunter's perception of the "airship".

The semi-convertible cabin, which looks extremely terrifying, has obvious holes in the single-level soft air compartment, and the only main propeller is still creaking when it turns, making people wonder for a second whether it will suddenly stall and fall down halfway. The pilot was a lean man with a stiff physique, and from the moment he took off, he looked physically weak with a pipe in his mouth. For most of the way, the hunter was worried about when he would yawn and crash the entire ship on a slope.

"It's time to get off the ship from here," Kaede opened the hatch and lowered the gangway, "and beyond that, only the Hunters' Guild's special airship can stay for a long time." ”

There are more than 10 active craters in the area around Kifuma, and the huge magma pool at the top of the main peak spills a large amount of lava all year round, forming hot surface lava flows on the slopes. The sulfur gas evaporating from the hot river was so disgusting that it was unbearable for ordinary people, and it was even more devastating to the power furnace of the airship. Adapting a ship to the volcanic environment requires a whole set of technical support, but that's not something that Shadowhunters can handle.

"Thank goodness an hour ago...... No, I wanted to come down when I first got on the airship. Feng Chen picked up his weapon and backpack, jumped down eagerly, and glanced at the broken ship behind him with apprehension, "Do we still need this kind of thing to support?" ”

"Be content, you and I are luckier than most of my solo peers." Shadowhunter Humanity. The airships that come and go to the volcano are consumables, and the core components will always be the first to break down, and there is no value in repairing, "Those unlucky ghosts who have no backup can only walk all the way up from the foot of the mountain, and they will lag behind us by more than a day." ”

The "commission" that the team received was to hunt a large number of materials with high temperature resistance, and considering the monster ecology of the Onifuma volcano, this commission was no different from free hunting. The commission does not limit the number and rank of the recipients, but deliberately guides the poachers from all over the world to move in different hunting grounds with a subtle time difference and a change in the delivery location. Regardless of whether the employer behind it has the confidence to eat such a large amount of material, he doesn't seem to care if it continues like this, it will evolve into a poacher's version of the volcano clean-up operation, and even deliberately make it more and more intense.

Right now, Feng and Dust's team are catching up with the third batch of clearances, and an uncountable number of poachers are still coming from all corners of the continent. The area where the Shadow Hunters landed is close to the main peak of the Kiruma volcano, and the smell of rotten eggs can be smelled nearly a kilometer below the lava line.

"Even so, we're not the first to come up." Feng Chen squatted down and put down his backpack, and before the equipment could be stopped, he pressed the soil under him, "There are other airships parked here." ”

"Four teams, maybe more." Kaede looked around at the ground around her. The hunting ground is so large, the chance of meeting peers is very small, and the hunter has to worry about being the first to snatch a more valuable hunting object, "Move fast, we don't have time to see the scenery." ”

…………

Along the way, strictly speaking, the team has unknowingly arrived in the territory of Ryan Yelu. In the gap between the two guilds, apart from the occasional team of snakes and pterodactyls flying in the air, there was no longer anything called a threat.

Due to the blatant activities of the Shadow Hunters, this section of the mountain road has long been regarded as human territory, and no unsightly lord-level monster has rushed to occupy it. At the foot of the volcano, which is rich in aquatic plants, it is filled with insects, amphibians and low-level herbivores, and the ecology has reached a point of fragility. Even a group of ankylosaurs on the road instinctively fled in a hurry when they saw the hunter-like squad passing by. Feng Chen saw all this in his eyes, but he had no choice but to sigh and silently follow the front team.

It wasn't until the temperature gradually rose to the point of scorching the skin that the hunters stopped for the first time. The road was split into two sections, the left and right ends seemed to lead to different hunting areas, and directly in front of it was a solidified lava waterfall, and the gray crystalline volcanic stone hung down almost ninety degrees, with a little fluorescence.

"So, a flat uphill road, a winding path that doesn't look good, which way are we going?" Feng Chenyao pointed to the end of the two roads.

"Either way, let's go straight up." Kaede looked up, the end of the cliff formed by the magma condensation was hidden in the dense volcanic clouds, "Both roads have already been taken by the people, if you want to be faster than them, you have to take some risks, we don't have much time to spend on the road." ”

Monsters that are more resistant to heat are, of course, living in the more central part of the lava field. Without special protection, humans should not stay in the lava field for more than five days, otherwise the volcanic gas in the sky could leave people here forever. The hunters also have to set aside time to process materials and wait for backups, and basically the group has to choose the hunting area and hunting target before nightfall.

"Hey! This rock wall is hundreds of meters high, so let's climb it like this? Dust's Adam's apple moved.

"What, you still want an airship to take us up? It seems to be flat ground above...... "The Shadowhunter tested the strength of the rock, the bulge on the rock wall was more than enough to carry the weight of a man, "this is the fastest way to go up." ”

"But ......" sealed the dust. In the field of vision of the hunter dragon, there was a low-level monster of unknown species active on the top of the cliff. The spiritual intelligence of the monsters is similar to that of the dog dragon species, and they don't even feel the prying eyes of the sealed dust, but how can the strength of the monsters on the hunting ground be distinguished by the spiritual intelligence. Climbing hundreds of metres high with bare hands is not too difficult for a significant number of poachers, but the possibility of being attacked is another matter.

"But what?" Kaede strapped her sword to her back, her arms bulging with muscles, and she climbed onto the surface of the rock wall. He looked back at Feng Chen, who hesitated at his feet, "Ah Dong and Axia and I will take the first step, it's up to you whether you follow or not." ”

After all, it was a temporary team, and after weighing the exposure of the dragon cavity and the danger, Feng Chen still closed his mouth helplessly. There was nothing more than a group of low-level beasts crouching behind the top of the cliff, and since there was no way to explain the situation to the cheap captain in front of him, the hunter had to silently raise his attention.

"The contract money is still in your hands, of course I will follow you!" Feng Chen shook his head and hurriedly followed his teammate's path to the rock wall, "I just feel like I'm ...... today I'm afraid it won't be too lucky. ”21010
