To understand all this, Dusty must go back to the day the festival ended, the afternoon when the trainees returned to Golden Feather Castle in an airship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After fifteen days of going around and around, although the number of teenagers who met under the transport ship was still the same as when they set off, there was less dust in it, and there was one more girl who was not very acquainted. When the two sides met, there should have been countless questions to ask - Jia Xiao, who had been separated from the team for the longest time, had most of the challenge sacrifice left behind, and he knew little about what happened to his teammates and the camp after parting. On the other hand, Xiao Yang was more eager to know how these companions, who rushed back at the last moment, survived the difficult days in the fog, and the whereabouts of the sealed dust that was kept secret by the other party.

No one was the first to speak, because no one knew where to start. The trainees just silently carried the piles of materials that Qin Shuiyu insisted on dragging back onto the airship with the assistance of the staff. The materials were quite valuable, and the crew who sent them into the cabin were extremely careful, which slowed down the takeoff time of the entire airship a little.

"Material? What's the material? Feng Chen scratched his head and said, "After I fell unconscious, did you go hunting again?" ”

"Basically...... It must have been given to us by Nazqi. Jia Xiao scratched his head, "You've lived with it for six months, you should know how much that guy wants to thank you." His smile looked strange, "It's the kind of 'Gu Long has its own way of doing things, and will never treat the life-saving benefactor badly'." It knows the rules of the hunting festival and wants to give us one last help before leaving. ”

"It's just that the way to help is a little ...... Uncanny. Lu Xiu interjected softly.

"Yes, looking at those high-level predators that we can't even think of, lining up one by one to leave some flesh and blood bits on the makeshift carts," Qin Shuiyu smacked his lips, "I feel like some kind of terrifying sacrifice ritual." The girl still couldn't forget the sight of a female dragon tearing off half of her claw in front of them and throwing it on the plank with blood dripping - although the half of the claw had been cut off in the battle of the camp the day before, and only a little flesh was still sticking, but the sight was enough for the teenagers to shudder.

This kind of gift lasted for dozens of minutes, until the high-level monsters that were still hovering near the territory of the ancient dragon species had more or less bled out. There were forty or fifty different materials in total, most of them were insignificant scales and tooth armor from the monsters, but the claws of the female fire dragon were only the lowest of them. So many types, such a large quantity, and such a high quality are enough for a trainee to win more than a dozen challenge sacrifices, which is why Qin Shuiyu insisted on taking them with him even if he walked slowly.

"Scales, bones, and blood, precious materials that should have been obtained after a hard hunt, were given to us by Oonazchi at will...... Do you know that even if it is an ordinary dragon sprout grass, after being infiltrated by the blood of a high-level dragon species, its value will increase hundreds of times? Jia Xiao sighed, "If, as the price of these, I have to go through all kinds of dangers in the challenge sacrifice - as long as I am allowed to live, it doesn't matter how many times I have to go through it." ”

"Nothing like this will ever happen again in this life, and Hunter Glory can't just take care of us." Nie Xiaoyang joked, "In short, we got on the ship, loaded the materials into the cabin, and we were completely idle." This muscular guy got out of control at that time. ”

"Big Bear? What happened to him? ”

Xiong Fuji sat down on the bed that sealed the dust, and grinned, "Dust boy, you probably won't want to listen to it...... But I was probably ...... at the time Beat Lu Xiu hard. ”

"Is that so?" The cat lay on the back of Qin Shuiyu, and after months of getting along, this Ai Lu was already familiar with the teenagers, "I thought it was the opposite." ”

…………

"Boom!" Xiong Fuji's fist slammed into the bridge of Lu Xiu's nose.

"Hey! What do you do all of a sudden? Lu Xiu covered his sore nose and replied angrily, the punch of the sturdy young man came without warning, it was almost a sneak attack, and Lu Xiu, who was already in a bad mood, instantly surged to his head.

"You deserve this punch!" Big Bear's anger has been accumulating since Xiaolongren left the team without permission, and finally vented at this moment, "I know it must be you!" Feng Chen couldn't come back, and the important entrusted target was injured like this......" He pointed to Lu Yingying's wrist, the girl's complexion was not very good, and the effect of Long Yu could still be revealed on her face after two blood crossings, "It's all yours!" ”

"How dare you talk like that?" Lu Xiu stepped forward and grabbed the placket of Xiong Fuji's hunting suit, "We risked our lives to finally come back alive from that damn swamp, is this how you welcome your companions?" ”

"Huh! We'll take you into the team and see what you've done. Leaving the team without permission doesn't count, and Lu Shushi will also be abducted to God knows what! Now that you're back with your tail between your legs, you're going to call us companions again? Xiong Fuji laughed angrily, "Seeing the team come back like this, I know that there must be a reason for you." ”

"Why should it be counted on my head?" The little dragon man said with an unreasonable expression, "I returned to the swamp to find the sealed dust, and what happened later was far more than we expected. What were you doing when we were hunted down in the inner marsh? Hiding in the camp for barbecue? ”

The first impression of the two teenagers on each other is not bad, they both have strong physiques, one has the hunting experience taught by the freelance hunter himself, and the other has the mysterious dragon bloodline, and it is normal for the strong to attract each other to each other in the hunter world. However, at this moment, they are also worried about the dust in the depths of the swamp, but they do not understand the dangers they have experienced with each other, one thinks that the other is a "scheming little devil who is independent and self-determined", and the other thinks that the other is a "cowardly guy who does nothing", so the battle takes place before the comrades can react.

"When we tried our best to pull them apart, both of them were badly injured - or at least they looked bad." Qin Shuiyu grimaced, "Xiong Fuji dislocated his jaw in the struggle, and Lu Xiu even tilted his nose to the side, the recovery ability of the dragon people is really strong, and it will probably be able to breathe without his mouth on the third day after returning to the city." ”

"I've been eating liquid food for a week." Xiong Fuji reflexively touched his chin, as if it still hurts, "Hell, you definitely activated the red pupil at that time. ”

"I didn't, I bled too much at that time, and I couldn't do it anymore." Lu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and gave Xiong Fuji an apologetic look, "I wasn't all aimed at you that day, it's just that too many things happened at that time, and I really need a way to vent." ”

"There was a mess on the deck, and I remember that Lu Shushi was crying and shouting from the side." Jia Xiao recalled, looking at Xiaolongren with a teasing look in his eyes, "'I'm leaving by myself, it has nothing to do with Lu Xiu' or something, that girl tried to use her body to block the fist towards Lu Xiu several times, and we can see it clearly from the side." ”

"All in all, the farce was finally stopped." Lu Xiu didn't seem to see the gesture of his companion, "Scribed by Lu." ”

"Who's that?" Feng Chen asked.

"Of course you don't know, that guy is Lu Yingying's father." Nie Xiaoyang grinned, "On the day we returned to the base camp, he almost lifted the roof of our barracks. ”

…………

"Take her back to the cabin, give her something to eat, and let her rest." Lu Wen's eyes were as if he didn't see the teenagers who were fighting hand-to-hand and the chaotic deck, his eyes just swept over his daughter he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two attendant hunters bowed their heads slightly, confessed, took the little scribe's arms one by one, and slowly led the girl into the cabin.

"That guy was a little too calm," Nie Xiaoyang said, "From beginning to end, he didn't look at Miss Lu more, even if he noticed the injuries on his daughter's body and her abnormally pale complexion. It was as if there was another person who was blocking the door of our barracks that day, and had nothing to do with him. ”

"This kind of behavior may not be understood until you become a father." Maomao changed her posture, "But the point is still after that, Lu Shushi came to the deck, not just to pick up Lu Yingying, he came to find us." ”

…………

"Explain the list." Lu Wen looked at the bleeding teenagers with his nostrils, he looked around at the badge on the apprentice's chest, and set his eyes on Qin Shuiyu's body. Maybe it's because girls are easier to communicate with, or maybe it's just because she was the tallest being among the teenagers at the time.

"It's ...... What list of footage we brought back? Miss Qin glanced at it a few times and handed it back to the other party, "Is there any problem?" ”

"There are a few materials here, which are extremely hard to come by even the Hunters' Guild, and I want to know how you got them." Lu Wen said calmly, trying not to let his eyes look at the tall boy who left the team with his daughter.

"I just wanted to mention that these materials of unknown origin probably can't be counted as the results of the competition." Feng Chen wondered, "To serve as a hunting harvest, I remember that there is one more step before it can be done. ”

"At that time, where are we going to find a white Ailu?" Qin Shuiyu covered his face with his hands and said with remorse, "This is also the first time I have participated in the challenge festival, who knew that there would be such loopholes in the rules...... Those things should have been considered by the Hunters' Guild. ”

The hunting grounds are full of all sorts of unexpected situations. If hunters encounter any monster and hunt it without commission, or if they get valuable materials during exploration, even if they don't have a commission, it will be treated as a "factual commission" and the score of the contest will be settled according to certain rules afterwards. However, this kind of settlement has extremely strict requirements, and the extent of ecological damage caused during the hunting process, whether it violates the rules of the hunters' union, what kind of help it has received, what dangers it has encountered, etc., will be taken into account in the calculation of the commission reward.

In order to prevent hunters with ulterior motives from maliciously exaggerating the difficulty of their commission and tampering with the process of commissioning to make profits, after this kind of commission report is delivered, it needs to be confirmed by a third party with unrelated interests, which is the main job of the Bai Ailu clan scattered in the hunting grounds.

"Not to mention the vigilance of the Bai Ailu clan, let them get out of the scope of the fog before the toxin spreads," Jia Xiao said with a headache, "Even after the fog clears, none of them can confirm our situation." ”

"Why?"

"We're following an ancient dragon." Qin Shuiyu sighed, "Within a few kilometers, or even a dozen kilometers, you won't find even a single Bai Ailu." ”

Most of the teenagers' experiences took place in the inner swamp shrouded in poisonous mist, and after the fog cleared, they were always accompanied by a creature from the top of the hunter world, and they were equivalent to shielding Bai Ailu's eyeliner from the outside. Until they returned to the base camp, they were isolated from the communication system of the stadium, and in a sense, they were out of control of the game.

"In other words, the more we tell the story of what happened in the arena," Lu Xiu shook his head, "What ruins, airships, dragon jade, or even living ancient dragons, the people of the committee can only think that our imagination is rich, because no one can confirm our story." ”

"So...... Wouldn't it be nice to lie? Feng Chen said, "It doesn't matter if you say you picked it up, even if you will get a lot less points because of it, it's much better than nothing." ”

"That's what we thought too......" Jia Xiao smiled bitterly, "but before we could tell a decent lie in front of Lu Shushi, we were interrupted by a nasty person." ”

…………

"That's them!" At the other end of the deck, Orson shook every trembling fat on his body, and shouted hysterically, "They are the thieves who stole the fruits of Wang Li's hunting group!" ”

"These things...... You stole it? Lu Wen asked subconsciously.

"No," Jia Xiao glanced into the distance, only to see the one-star hunter who had already strode over, "It's a little complicated, but it's definitely not what you think." ”

"What do you think?" Ao Sen tried his best to make an angry look, but his eyes glanced at the list in Lu Wen's hand. At a glance, he saw countless high-level materials, and the greed and jealousy in his heart were as hard to extinguish as the fire on a sunken ship, "You little ghosts, even if you have great luck, how can you meddle with these precious materials?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Jia Xiao said with a cold look in his eyes, Ao Sen has been following the scarlet boy in the shipwreck, what really happened in the swamp, he is the one who knows best. But it is precisely for this reason that the boy is secretly afraid, and if anyone wants to distort the facts, no one is more convenient than him. At this moment, the haunting one-star hunter is on the same ship with them, which is really bad news worse than cannibalism among their companions.

"In the swamp, have you ever encountered His Royal Highness the Prince and the royal hunting group led by him?" Orson raised his eyebrows and asked in a loud voice.

"Don't answer him!" Qin Shuiyu stretched out his arms to stop his companions behind him.

"Have you ever seen those valiant royal hunters fight against an incredibly powerful monster?" The one-star hunter had no intention of stopping, "In order to protect the survival of His Royal Highness the Prince, those warriors returned to the hunter ancestors one by one, and what did you do?" Do you keep all the spoils of their previous day's war for yourself? ”

"We don't!" Lu Xiu's face was red, the young man's nose was still bleeding, and he was angry when he spoke.

"Humph! You don't need to answer, you can see the answer from the faces of these little ghosts! Orson faced the other hunters on the deck, but pointed his finger straight at Luciu's nose, "Who are you lucky?" It's almost the same as saying that a thief is a liar! ”
