In the next two days, the small hunting group returned to the intense hunting preparations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Freedom Hunting is mostly like this, without the basic service pay of the union, only to take on more difficult commissions frequently to maintain the turnover. Most of the large-scale hunting groups and high-level lone hunters have the support and funding of the Chamber of Commerce, just like Master Guo and the Ningyuan Chamber of Commerce behind her. Before the Little Hunters became famous and were favored by powerful organizations, the hunters had to shed the same amount of blood to earn each bottle of Recovery Elixir.

The teenagers accepted the commission of the submarine dragon and marched all the way to the Western Army, unsurprisingly leaving Lu Yingying in Locklac again. This time, the girl did not pester, but quietly accepted Lu Xiu's proposal, and even sensibly put forward the decision that "once the monster has signs of approaching the city, it will take the initiative to take the nearest airship back to Golden Feather City". Looking into the girl's eyes and thinking that he didn't actually take care of her in Locklac, Lu Xiu's heart felt a lot of guilt for no reason, and he still looked preoccupied after he went on the road.

On the long sandy road, the road conditions and territorial conditions would change every once in a while, and along the unrecognizable trade routes in the sea of sand, under the command of Feng Manyun, the mounts of the small hunting group changed from herbivorous dragons to horses and camels, and the way of travel also changed back and forth several times between day and night and night travel. In this way, he avoided most of the dangerous quicksand areas and monster territories, and traveled safely for two days.

Most of the semi-permanent post stations along the way were empty, and only the keepers of one or two mounts were still cautiously hiding in their bunkers, even fearing when it came to feeding the feed and handing over the mounts. Most of the people guarding the post station are ordinary people who have no combat ability, and they are more concerned about their own lives than the high profits brought by Fengshan Dragon.

The last convoy of people who were recalled by the union were absent-minded even when handing over their mounts. Occasionally, a kind-hearted groom, when he learned that a group of children had come to this trip for that dangerous commission, either shook his head and sighed, or he persuaded them to go home.

"Don't," Qin Shuiyu pouted, "I've already walked here, if I go back to the city, I will have to pay for the contract money and travel expenses alone - is this the last post station before the Xishu?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from the wrinkled old man, the girl handed over the tired foaming camel and reached out to lead the new mount: "Then let's go!" It's getting dark, and sleeping in this kind of place is not a good choice. ”

Feng Manyun lowered the brim of his hunting suit, and tried not to let the old man see his face until the end, and there were few faces he was unfamiliar with in the post station along the way. Although he had expected that this road would not be too easy, the current mixed tastes had also reached the limit of what the young man in white could handle.

"Uncomfortable?" After a short time on the road again, Feng Chen noticed the strangeness of his companion.

"No," he masked the unnaturalness on his face, "and beyond that is the territory of the Sublicton." Although the probability of encountering those guys here is not high, the sand on the ground is very loose, and if there is an active group of sand fish dragons, it is not a small trouble. ”

"Let Manyun explore the way." The girl raised the reins, "Don't go too far, contact with flares." ”

"I'll go too!" Xiong Fuji also got off the hunchback, and untied the spear and heavy shield from his mount, looking eager to try.

"Hey! You're not ......" Nie Xiaoyang said playfully to the big man, but his eyes glanced at Feng Manyun, who was preparing hunting gear.

"What? Isn't it the best opportunity to learn from new hunters? The sturdy young man responded as he should, but he glared at him fiercely and suffocated the second half of Xiao Yang's words back into his stomach.

"Then I'll go." The young man in white did not stop Xiong Buji from following, and walked towards the depths of the night with the slender sword on his back.

"It won't be a problem." The cat whispered in the owner's ear and asked, "That Feng Manyun seems to be absent-minded all the way." ”

"Feng Chen told me something about his experience." The girl arched Ellu's nose, "The pain of losing a companion is something I can't understand, at least now. Give him something to do, distract himself, and it should be better. ”

…………

"So, will you encounter a ceratosaurus species in this hunting ground?" The big bear carried a heavy weapon on his back, but his speed was almost the same as that of Feng Manyun.

"No, Uncle Jack told me that the Thundering Sand Sea is the largest hunting ground in the entire continent, and this area is still its periphery." Feng Manyun subconsciously replied, "I've been hunting here for a few months, and I've never seen a single ceratosaurus species. ”

"Are there any other powerful monsters besides the Submariner?" The boy asked, still unrelentingly.

The young man in white thought about it seriously: "No. He suddenly looked at the stout boy's face, "What, you like to fight powerful monsters very much?" ”

"Of course, that's the greatest joy of being a hunter!" Xiong Fuji grinned.

"I'm not sure." Feng Manyun didn't see any emotion on his face, "The Submarine Dragon is already the most powerful monster I've ever seen, and it's also the strongest monster I've ever hunted. But when I think about them, I don't feel much fun, just nausea. He really showed a disgusted expression, "Those guys' saliva is yellow and smelly, and no matter how much you avoid it when you fight, you will be thrown off all over your body with saliva, and if you accidentally bite it, it will suppurate almost every time." ”

"It's not about a certain kind of monster," after listening to the boy's description, Xiong Fuji remembered the peach fur beast in the swamp, and the characteristics of some monsters really made the most powerful hunters not have the interest to fight against them, "It's the hunt itself." Fighting monsters to the death is the most glorious destination for hunters, isn't it? ”

Hearing the proud declaration of the person next to him, Feng Manyun paused, and stepped deeply into the soft sand, "I don't want to die, no matter how you die—if you die, you won't know what glory is, and you won't be able to fight monsters anymore." He said calmly, but his voice was a little distorted, "I'm afraid of death, I'm scared to death, I always thought that this was the reason why everyone was desperately refining their hunting skills, didn't that be the case?" ”

Xiong Fuji didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "That's right, if you have the opportunity to fight more monsters, it will be more cost-effective to stay alive." ”

"Here ......

"What?" Big Bear wondered.

"Sand Fish Dragon, that direction." Feng Manyun pulled out the sword behind his back and pointed to the back of a sand dune in the distance.

There was a rustling sound, and six or seven thin blue-gray dorsal fins emerged from the soft sand. The little sand fish dragon had formed a semi-arc formation in front of the hunters at some point, and it was seen that this posture was to completely block the way of the teenagers.

"It's just a few miscellaneous fish...... "The stout boy raised his gun and was about to rush forward with his foot raised.

"Wait." Feng Manyun stopped his companions, "There are about fifty of them, can you kill them?" ”

"It's not just ...... here"

"They're smart." The young man in white didn't say much, just glanced at the other clusters of sand dunes on the left and right of his side. Where he was staring, the dunes trembled gently as if they had come to life, and it was clear that there were more than ten monsters hidden under each bulge.

"Hey, I'm surrounded." Xiong Buji said helplessly, but his face became even more excited.

"These little things are omnivorous, and for no particular reason they don't actively attack humans." Feng Manyun said as he put away his sword, "Those special reasons...... It's generally not good. ”

In order to win the favor of their lords, the subjects of the Submarine Dragons will often assist them in hunting. Besieging their prey and waiting for the arrival of the lord is like a strategy that the sand fish dragons will take.

"They'll follow us and report to the nearby Submarine Dragons." Feng Manyun touched the waist of the hunting suit, "Kill them, the blood of the sand fish dragon is very fishy, and it will also make us a beacon for shark predation." ”

"Isn't that just right?" Xiong Fuji's spear shook, "We came to the Sand Sea to get rid of the Submarine Dragon." ”

"There are at least twenty or thirty submersible dragons following behind a sand fish dragon of this scale." Feng Manyun said coldly, "Your glory may come sooner than you imagined." ”

Xiong Fuji shuddered, not because of the exaggerated number of submersible dragons, but because of the unkind eyes of his companions. He looked at the restless little monsters around him: "You can't kill it, you can't escape it, so what should you do?" "A hunter is good at straight hunting and fighting, and such a strange danger can stump him. Da Xiong just finished asking, but found that Feng Manyun had rushed out at some point, "Hey! What are you doing? ”

"Buzz!" The sound of sonic boom jade sounded in the air, and the small sand fish dragons in the explosion range were all hit hard and rushed high out of the sand. Sand ichthyosaurus is no different from a regular grouper, except that it is larger and has yellow scales that are easy to hide in the sand. Their primary mode of perception seems to be the tremor-sensing organs scattered throughout the body, which have lost their balance in the high-pitched sonic boom and are limply spread on the ground.

"Lend me a shield." Without waiting for the bear to react, the hunter took his tower shield.

"You can't ......"

"I won't kill them, just be unconscious." The white-clothed young man grabbed the two corners of the shield and slapped them one by one towards the sand fish dragons facing the sky on their backs, "The sand fish dragons have no leader, and their actions are only connected by mutual vibrations, and once the members of the community are reduced by one-tenth, they will actively choose to retreat...... Four, five, six. ”

While counting, Feng Manyun slapped at the big fish that had no ability to resist, and the body of the ichthyosaur was more than a meter long, and it was hit by the young man's slap

…………

"This is it." Feng Manyun grabbed the reins of the camel, and the camel bell under him shook for a while, and stopped steadily.

"There is light!" Following the direction the young man pointed, Xiao Yang saw a light in the camp from a distance, "It seems that we are not the only ones who have taken this commission." After two days of walking, the boy was already tired of the endless sea of sand, and the sight of his kind in front of him lifted his spirits, and he was about to drive the camel forward.

"Wait!" Jia Xiao instructed, "Before leaving, Senior Feng once instructed us that there might be dangerous organizations operating in the hunting ground. An abandoned camp like Xishu could become a foothold for them......"

"Know, if you encounter a hunter with suspicious appearances, don't touch it." Nie Xiaoyang clamped the hunchback's belly, and without waiting for his companion's reaction, the tall camel rushed towards the camp.

There were more than one place where the lights were on, and the small camp that should have been in ruins in Feng Manyun's description was not only hastily renovated at this moment, but even showed signs of expansion. At least in the eyes of the teenager, there were far more than a dozen barracks in front of him. The barracks were surrounded by simple fortifications with field building materials, and the thumb-thick iron fence was two people high, and even the deer barracks and trap markings were readily available. Through the gap in the fence, he saw that the newly built rooms were all close together, some even shared the same load-bearing wall, and the specially reserved aisle could barely accommodate two people to pass through.

Xiao Yang was stunned, looked left and right, and confirmed that he was not in the wrong place. But no matter how you look at it, the current camp doesn't look like what Xishu should be, and it is more like a standard forward command center with a large commission. This fortification alone would have required at least a few dozen hunters or specialized craftsmen to work day and night for a week, not to mention in the depths of the sand infested with evil beasts.

Rounding the trap in front of him, the boy suspiciously drove the camel closer, and by the light of the moon and the fire in the camp, he faintly saw a behemoth on the opposite side of the barracks. The huge air chamber swayed slightly from the heights, and the heavy hull was like a high wall blocking the north side of the camp, and there were still people on the ship, carrying down boxes of materials and sending them into the camp.

"Good fellow...... Is there even an airship? Nie Xiaoyang swallowed, "What the hell is going on here?" He looked for what looked like a makeshift camp gate and approached it alertly.

The camp gate was not guarded, but when the hunter approached the gate for more than ten meters, the lights inside suddenly flickered, and then brightened sharply in front of him.

"Xiaoyang! Don't run so fast! Jia Xiao drove the camel and strode up, "I see that there are a lot of animal traps outside, and the number of people in the camp may be ......."

"This look, why don't I come into contact with humans......" Xiao Yang sighed and slowly looked at Jia Xiao, who also looked surprised.

Inside the narrow camp gate, dozens of sturdy hunters in different costumes gathered together, vigilantly watching the two uninvited guests who had trespassed here. Each man carried torches and illuminated the inside and outside of the camp gates. Farther back on the wall, in a small open-air square, more hunters were sitting around a dozen fires, making noise and noise unscrupulously, and large barbecue racks on the bonfire, exuding a charming fragrance.
