"Faster!" Lu Yingying urged the horse under her. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info the cattle stumbled on the soft sand, stumbling every now and then, and lifting the girl behind them off the horse, and then falling heavily back into the saddle. The little scribe set out before dawn, but the distance of a post could not be completed by forcibly urging the horsepower. In less than half a day's work, under the unrestrained drive of the girl, the horse had already begun to spray his nose, and the corners of his mouth were sporadically foaming.

"It's coming!" The girl lifted the hood from her head, revealing a beautifully tied bun. She only felt a sticky feeling on her face, and when she raised her hand to wipe it, a drop of blood ran down her cheek. Lu Yingying hurriedly glanced at the scar on her left wrist, and a shallow blood mark spilled over the knife wound that had long healed. Beads of blood rolled down the girl's plain white wrist, leaving a reddish trail that was dazzling to watch.

The little scribe rubbed his wrist haphazardly from his cloak and continued to dance the reins absently. In the distance, Xishu's camp was already visible to the naked eye. The sea of sand during the day was unobstructed, and the billowing smoke over the camp was slightly tilted to the east, and the beacon marked the location of the camp.

"Oops......" Lu Yingying squinted her eyes for a long time before she realized that it was not an ordinary cooking smoke or bonfire. The girl's throat tightened, and she kicked the horse's ribs twice, and the pack beast under her howled in pain, but refused to speed up any longer.

Ten minutes after "rustling ......", the stagecoach still sent the girl to her destination. The sand hundreds of meters in front of the camp gate turned blood-red, and the water vapor in the blood was dried by the scorching sun, but the remaining nutrients still attracted many mosquitoes to lick them. The pungent fishy smell mixed with the buzzing of mosquitoes made the girl clench her mouth and nose in disgust, and her other hand kept driving in front of her.

As soon as he reached the badly deformed camp gate, the pack beast refused to take a step forward. The camp was filled with the smell of blood, not to mention ordinary beast tamers, even monsters of a slightly lower rank did not dare to set foot in it. Lu Yingying had no choice but to turn over and dismount, she staggered two steps, and her hands slapped urgently in front of the camp gate.

"Anyone?"

There was no response from the camp, not even the sound of the living creatures. The iron door didn't move, and she pressed one ear to the door again.

"Shhh...... Ha! The camp gate was scorched by the sun, and Lu Yingying's ears instantly turned red. The girl took a step back in shock and pain, rubbed her ears, and had to look for another entrance along the camp wall.

In the ruins of the collapsed sand wall, a ship-borne ballista was still stuck diagonally, and the heavy disc-like base of the crossbow was sunk deep into the sand, and it was expected that it would take a lot of time to clear it out. The girl walked here, her eyebrows furrowed, and her right hand subconsciously clenched the knife wound on her left arm. She stepped over the collapse of the wall and finally walked into the camp without hesitation.

"Yikes!" As soon as she entered the camp, Lu Yingying covered her eyes all of a sudden. A large submersible dragon corpse was lying behind a wall. The two blood holes in the giant beast's tail no longer gushed blood, and the forehead that should have been firm was also sunken, like a leaky airship air tank. Beneath the Submersible Dragon, several short-lived scaly-leaved plants have completed their life's mission and are withering in the scorching sun of the sand sea. The girl swept sideways past the monster's corpse, trying not to get herself stained with the blood of the Submarine Dragon, but stepped on the wilting grass.

"It's ...... Are you late......" the little scribe looked around. Most of the outer camp had been reduced to piles of ruins in the war, and the unburned wood beeped, emitting puffs of gray smoke over the camp.

"Ahem......" Lu Yingying hurriedly wet the gauze around her neck and covered her mouth tightly, so that she was not dazed by the pungent smoke mixed with the smell of blood.

"They must still be here......" The girl suppressed the anxiety in her heart and comforted herself secretly. She cautiously stepped over the sharp iron chisels and thick wooden sticks that were everywhere, and explored the past little by little into the camp.

…………

"Here, your weapons." Lu Xiu paced in from outside the house and handed Xiao Yang's chained shield and dust-sealed one-handed sword set to his companions, "When I found them, they were already congealed with the flesh and blood of the monsters. The well is buried under the sand, and there is no way to flush it for the time being, so let's just take a look. ”

"Ah...... My baby! Xiao Yang took the shield exaggeratedly, ignoring the filth on the weapon and the bandages wrapped around his body, and rubbed it on his chest indulgently. His hand probed link by link, wiped the blood off the shield, and took a picture of the window, then relieved, "Whew, it's good that it's not broken......

"Disgusting...... Xiong Fuji scoffed, "I don't know, I think you have a son." ”

"So what? Like you, every time you urge the jewelry beads, you knock the hunting suit hard, that arm armor is so thin, sooner or later it will break. Xiao Yang glanced at his companion.

"Dragonman equipment isn't that expensive." Feng Chen teased, "That chain doesn't look thick, but it can bear the weight of several tons." I've got all my arms dislocated, and it's not hurt at all......"

"If it's not your own equipment, of course you won't feel distressed!" The tall boy held his shield to his chest.

"Isn't the mechanism on my armour burned out too......" Little Orion said with a slight grievance. By the time the last two dive dragons were fought, their companions were approaching their limits one by one. If we continue according to the conventional methods of warfare, we will inevitably suffer damage. It was precisely because of this that Feng Chen forcibly liberated the restraint device on the "flying man", so that the hunting suit instantly burst out with several tons of explosive power, and in one fell swoop fished a submersible dragon with a surplus of tons, laying the final victory.

However, as a price, Feng Chen's arms have not completely improved so far, although Feng Manyun has replaced the joints for him, the torn tendons may take several days to heal. The armarmor of the One-Star Hunter's hunting suit was also completely burned, and no matter how much Master Tresor thought about it, he couldn't imagine that his hunting suit could be used in such a fierce way. The dragonman's props can always play an effect in the boy's hands that even he himself can hardly think of, and from this point of view, Feng Dust and the red-haired dragonman may have a surprising compatibility in their understanding of hunting.

"I guess it's thanks to you." Xiao Yang echoed half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It's already noon, and the airship of the joint team hasn't come back yet...... Didn't they see our signals? ”

"There are special observers on the airship, and it shouldn't be missed." Jia Xiao's whole body was aching. He sat up stiffly, "They're probably going to have to make sure there's no new group of submersible dragons coming in before they land." ”

"Humph!" The big bear's eye sockets sank deeply, as if half of his body had been drained of blood, but this could not hide the resentment in the young man's eyes at all, "We are all done fighting, will those guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death be willing to come back." ”

The Xishu camp of the fighting party is now the safest area in the entire sand sea. As the lord of a realm, the blood of the submarine dragon not only does not attract nearby predators, but has a strong deterrent effect on low-level monsters. Unless a wyvern rests here on a whim, this half-destroyed humble camp is no more dangerous than the union hall before the blood is gone.

"It can't be said that this time, thanks to the fact that those large hunting groups did not interfere, the control and retreat of the entire beast tide can be counted in our commission records." The little head was drugged the black charcoal, and many pieces of hair on Ailu's body fell out, and at first glance she looked pitiful.

There is an additional reward for overcompleting the commission, and the thirty times the commission record can not only add a strong sum to the resume of the small hunting group, but the reward of the remuneration is also an unimaginable number for one-star hunters. This is the rule of the hunter world, willing to take greater risks, and there will be a dazzling reward after success.

"About that ......," Jia Xiao smiled bitterly, "Although we don't want to mention this stubble, we have unilaterally terminated our cooperation with the joint team, and theoretically we have no right to use their hunting equipment for free." ”

"What?" The little frog jumped up like a grasshopper, "The little hunting group has repelled the beast tide nine times to the death, and in the end, do those guys still have to calculate the prop money with us?" ”

Not to mention the two dozen barrels and sporadic props lost in the battle, it is two shipborne ballistas, and the small hunting group can't afford it even if they smash the pot and sell iron. Now the crossbow machine is still buried on the outskirts of the camp, God knows if it has been damaged, if you want to think about it, maybe you have to put all the income of the hunting group into it.

"Don't worry, the master won't let you bear the cost of iron-hearted props." Black Tan reassured everyone, but said, "However, most of the temporary buildings in the camp and the trap arrangement in front of the camp are the handiwork of the other two hunting groups. The master can't be the master, so he can only wait until the airship lands before negotiating with them. ”

"Huh...... I'm afraid the little hunting group doesn't even have room for bargaining. Jia Xiao was also relieved, he had just finished an exhausting battle, and no hunter wanted to think about these annoying things. One by one, the one-star hunters withered, eager to rest in their huts until the earth was desolate.

"Luxiu!" At this moment, Feng Manyun's voice sounded from outside the door, "Open the door...... I don't know why, but Miss Lu came with me again......"

"Your little henchman?" Xiao Yang was taken aback, "This is the depths of the hunting ground...... What did she come to do? ”

The little dragon man glared at the tall boy fiercely, closed his eyes and gasped for breath, and slammed the door open.

…………

"This is my own promotion commission, the power of attorney is clearly written, and I can only participate in it." Lu Xiu patiently explained.

"I'm a civilian, I don't count." Lu Yingying blinked, "If you can still complete the commission with a civilian, won't the gold content of the Hunter Badge be even higher?" ”

"Miss Lu...... You're just messing with me. Lu Xiu pleaded, he pointed to the hunting ground level not far away with his backhand, "The way back to the city is over there, you better go back quickly." ”

"What's the big deal? Do you think that if you have the dragonhuman blood of Raush, you can do anything? The girl pouted and crossed her hands, "If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, I wouldn't have been willing to help." ”

The little dragon man was made to cry and laugh, he raised his arm and pointed to the gloomy jungle in front of him: "There is no child's play in the hunting ground, Miss Lu...... Lu Shushi, you are not a hunter, how can you help me in this shelterbelt? ”

"No, tell me for yourself, what is the goal of your commission?" The girl stood on a low stump and said condescendingly to Luciu.

"It's just an ordinary gathering task," the dragonman scratched his head. Sunset grass is a common plant-based material near Golden Feather City, but because it is difficult to grow, and it is on the menu of many gregarious omnivores, it can barely withstand the difficulty of the next upgrade commission, "There may be a large number of monsters in the place I want to go, and I can't be distracted to protect you when fighting." ”

"Who wants you to protect!" Lu Yingying's mouth pursed even higher, "It's herbs!" The traits of sunset grass are no different from that of poisonous sungrass, and you may have to pick up a basket of poisonous grass with your own words. ”

"Can you tell the difference?" The little dragon man asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you are just an archaeological scrivener?" ”

"This knowledge is common knowledge in the circle of scribes!" Lu Yingying's face flushed, "Just like you hunters, don't you also know some knowledge of bandaging bones?" ”

"......I see," Lu Xiu nodded and changed his words, "Thank you for your kindness, but this time it won't be necessary." The shelterbelt has been cleared many times by the Blue Gold Chamber of Commerce, and the sunflower is harmful to the growth of sleeping birds, and it has long been extinct in this area - see what I do? This is my promotion commission, and of course I have to do my homework in advance. ”

"You ......" Seeing that the dragon man was about to leave, the girl hurriedly jumped off the stump and followed, "How can you say that such a thing as a plant is extinct?" Mixing one or two plants when collecting is a major event that kills people. ”

"Don't keep up," the big man was completely frustrated by the candy-like girl, "I really don't have anything to do with myself." His expression changed a few times, and finally plucked up his courage, "Miss Lu, it's okay if you go to visit the location of the Little Hunting Group from time to time, if you participate in the commission with me, they all say ......."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yingying's eyes widened, but she reacted, and hurriedly retorted angrily, "I'm a genius scrivener...... I'm still so young...... Oh! The girl was a little incoherent, and she stomped her foot messily, "It's not what you think!" ”

The little scribe excitedly rolled up the sleeve of his left arm and swore an oath to hold up one arm beside him: "Do you want to listen to the truth?" She pointed to a faint barely noticeable scar on her wrist, "It hurts." ”

"It's been a month...... "Lu Xiu is still playing tricks on the girl.

"I'm not joking, it really hurts!" Lu Yingying became serious, "Most of the time it is just like a needle prick, but occasionally it will be strengthened to the extent of a knife cut...... Ever since he returned to Golden Feather City, this pain has never gone away. I checked all the information I could find, and I also asked the senior scribes and even the dragon seniors, and there was no book that recorded such symptoms after transitional blood. The girl clenched her fists, "I don't know what kind of magic you cast on me at the Challenge Ceremony." But I can feel that you have nothing to do with the abnormality of this wound. ”

"Because...... It is only when you are around that the pain disappears completely. In the last sentence, the girl's voice was weak.

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Xiu's head grew, "I'm sorry, but I really don't know anything, the idea of crossing blood was taught to me by the ancient dragon species, and the operation was also demonstrated by Master Guo, if there is any problem......"

"The scholar doesn't need your apology," Lu Yingying shrugged her eyebrows, but the second half of her sentence softened, "Thank you for saving my life at the challenge sacrifice, this ...... Side effects, compared to life, are already insignificant. ”

"Miss Lu......"

"I know it's hard for you, but what happened to me has never been seen before in the entire study of the Dragonhuman bloodline." The girl gave herself a reason, "I am a scrivener, and I must study any problem clearly." Her eyes darkened, "So, do me a favor and let me ......"

"Miss Lu, your wounds ...... It bleeds. ”

…………

"I thought we made it clear......"

"Don't speak!" Lu Yingying stepped into the house domineeringly, and with a silent gesture, she suffocated the second half of Lu Xiu's words back into her stomach. The girl glanced inside the room, and all the members of the hunting group were there, even though they all looked miserable after the battle, which also made her feel a little more relieved.

"I'm coming from Locklac......," the little scribe gasped as hard as he could.

"I know......" Luciu was about to interject.

"I'm here to warn you—Luciu, you're in danger." The girl raised her left hand and exposed a piece of her lotus arm outside her robe, the scar on her wrist oozing eerily strands of blood, which slipped from the edge of the wound and into her sleeve, "Everyone here...... are all dangerous. ”
