Although he had almost adapted to seeing and acting in the fog, the young man in scarlet still didn't like the fog. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe water vapor that obscured the sky and the sun made everything in the hunting grounds confusing. Encounters between hunters, monsters, and hunters become unavoidable, and the path is always lost when caught off guard. At night, everything seemed to turn into an undercurrent, surging in the swamp.

Fortunately, the fog will eventually disperse.

The way back became easier, and although in the middle of the night, the three of them did not have much delay. For some reason, the mysterious power that interfered with the sense of direction of the entire swamp slowly dissipated, and the compass became able to work normally. At this pace, they will be able to return to the vicinity of the base camp by noon tomorrow at the earliest.

Orson was not left behind, and the prince and Aemonn let him hang from the back of the line as if they were nothing. The advantages of this fat man are as obvious as the disadvantages, that is, he can do anything for a ridiculous set of dragonman equipment. Emon only made a verbal promise before the battle, and he really had the audacity to operate the discarded machine crossbow, which became the most important link in the trap that seriously injured Guo Peng. The best thing is that the archery shooter has nothing to do with Wang Li's hunting group, and if things really go in the worst direction, at least this little scapegoat can come out and share part of the anger of the hunters' union.

And now that Wang Li's hunters are all wiped out, a small follower who is obedient to his side can at least help when dealing with emergencies on the return trip. Even in such details, Aemon, as always, carefully calculated for the Lord. Now the prince seems to be a little lost, he has not yet escaped from the reality of the removal of the hunting group as a whole, and it is only because of Aemon's remarks about "remedial opportunities" that he can barely brace himself and keep up with him.

"Would you like to take a break?" Aemon asked softly. It was about two or three o'clock in the morning, which was the time when people were most tired, and in order to return to the camp in advance, the two had to travel all night. By now, the scarlet-clothed young man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was a little fluttery when he walked.

"Don't worry about me," said the young man, with a reluctant smile, "this level of nocturnal travel is nothing—you have taught me the skills of tracking and long-distance travel, and you know best how far I can go, Eamon." ”

The inch-headed young man suppressed the unbearability in his heart, nodded and led the way ahead. At the time of Lord's age, Ammon was just an ordinary recruit in the army, and all he had to worry about was training beatings and unpalatable dinner. Today's prince has to bear the responsibility of the important actions of the royal family alone, and carry the lives of dozens of dead companions, such a burden is extremely heavy even on the body of a two-star hunter. This is one of the reasons why Aemon cared for the Lord in addition to his responsibilities.

Thinking like this, the young man's eyes were a little distracted, and his attention was involuntarily in a trance for a moment. Therefore, it was not until the sharp arrow hit the side of his face less than five meters that it was detected.

"Brush!" The two-star hunter, who didn't have time to dodge, simply leaned back, the arrow grazed his helmet, and the strong wind cut his face like a sharp knife, making his originally sleepy spirit wake up all of a sudden, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Hide!" Only then did Aemon raise a warning voice, and the arrows burrowed into the remaining mist, and there was a "duh" sound crashing into the trees. The wooden pole was shattered, and the two-star hunter could hear it clearly, and the arrow was actually sharpened.

"Who?" The prince moved a few times to make sure that there was no new attack before stopping, and he shouted in the direction of the arrow.

After a midnight trek, he saw a man he had never expected to appear on the hunting grounds.

"Situation...... Master of the situation? The first to speak was the round-eyed Orson who spoke, "Why are you here?" ”

Even if he didn't have many days of exploration and travel, he had always looked like a dusty man with a sallow face. The woman gave everything on the path of the hunter, including of course her face and her youth. After a defeat in the performance match of the Indian Festival, the ease and kindness on the face of the master of the situation have been reduced a lot, but it has been replaced by an indescribable coldness. The fat man just dared to look up, as if he was being stared at by a pit viper the size of a bucket, and always felt that the next second he would be pierced by the arrow in her hand.

"It turned out to be Master Guo," the young man in scarlet was stunned, and finally squeezed out a smile from the superior, "How do you greet you...... It's really special. ”

"Wang Li's hunting group? The armor ......," the huntress's voice was more like to herself, "you're the youngest, aren't you?" ”

The young man of the Chu family looked at Emon with his spare eyes, and said noncommittally: "As far as I know, master, you should be in charge of Golden Feather City at this moment, is it possible that someone has already taken over the city defense during the competition?" ”

"I don't need you to tell me what to do." The master was a little displeased, and the bowstring in his hand quietly opened an arc, "I'm chasing a case." ”

"It's a coincidence that we met in this thick fog," Aemon smiled, "It's an honor to meet you on the hunting grounds, but we probably won't be able to help us when we hurry back to the base camp." ”

"I don't think it's that coincidental." The huntress's bow was raised horizontally, dragging the three of them away, "Tell me, what are you all doing on the afternoon of the third day after the challenge festival begins?" ”

At the instigation of Giller, Master Guo has been observing the movements in the arena since the beginning of the challenge festival, and he is even more concerned about the orders issued by Guo Peng himself. On the second night after the start of the match, Guo Peng uncharacteristically personally released a series of low-level exploration missions, which were always the outpost's own work. In addition, the master had no skills, so he had to follow one of the teams to inquire about the situation, but he gained nothing.

The next night, there was information that a team of trainees had disappeared for no reason.

Exploring too deeply leads to provoking monsters above the strength, which is not uncommon in the hunter world. But not long after the team belonging to the sand scorpion set off, the Wang Li Hunting Group team, which was under the focus of the Hunters Union, also sent several teams of people to follow up one by one along the exploration route issued by the general leader, with unknown intentions. Now that the master and the young man of the Chu family have met here, although they don't know what the connection is, the hunter's intuition has already reminded her that Wang Li's hunting group is afraid that they have already been involved in the undercurrent of what happened in the arena.

"So long ago?" The young man in scarlet clothes looked embarrassed, and said without any flaws in his eyes, "I can't remember it for a long time, probably guarding the outpost, doing tasks or something--speaking of which, the base camp hasn't issued a mission to the camp for a long time, so we had to wander around the hunting ground by ourselves, is something wrong?" ”

Without direct evidence, it is dangerous to charge a member of the royal family with some misdeeds. Besides, Qixin muttered for a long time at his answer: "What about the rest of your team members? Why are there only two left? ”

"I don't know." The prince spread his hands, "Even if they are under my command, they always have to compete, they have their own way of earning points, and I can't interfere with them - so if there are no other problems, let's leave it at that, it's late at night, and I should hurry to find a place to rest." ”

"Wait, Chu boy." After many days of exploration, although Master Guo found a lot of interesting clues, he couldn't figure out what to do. At this moment, the challenge is coming to an end, and it is the middle of the night, and the mood is a little impatient, "The post-game inventory is the job of the Hunters' Union, no matter what you do in the hunting ground, we can always find clues." So if there's anything you want to explain, tell me now. ”

"Master Condition." The young man in scarlet clothes stopped, and he was also a little annoyed when he was called by his surname by two five-star hunters in one day, "I respect you...... But you know, that just saying something out of nothing was enough for me to visit the Hunters' Guild. ”

"Say whatever you want." Master Guo didn't look at the young man, and said, "But this is always the territory of the Hunters' Union, and the hands and feet of the Wang Li Hunting Group should be clean." ”
