Chapter 831
"Running out of your own words, risking your life to find trouble with the ancient dragon species, these are about to become your habits." Jia Xiao sighed, "Hunter glory, you planned to do so from the beginning, right?" β
"It depends on when you say 'in the beginning'." Feng Chen blinked. After learning that the Far Hunter had left, the young man began to think about it in his heart. Now that he has lost touch with the team, instead of waiting for an hour in vain in the range of the wind barrier, it is better to take advantage of this time to do something meaningful: "Don't worry, the True Dragon Clan will never easily hurt a person who understands the language of dragons, and this ability is my talisman." I've done something like this more than once in the past two years, and I don't dare to guarantee that this time I'm absolutely safe, but if one person is in danger, he will have the opportunity to get a piece of information that will be helpful to the entire continent, so what does it matter if it's dangerous? β
"Of course it is! Damn it...... The mission given to me by the regimental commander is to bring you back to the ship safely, not to watch you go to the foot of the natural disaster to die! The heavy sword hunter frowned, "This is no longer an underground world, you are a member of the Little Hunter Group, even if you have any actions, you must always discuss it with everyone, right?" β
Hearing this, Feng Chen stopped speaking, and his chin groaned as if he was thinking about something. Seeing that the advice had worked, the epee hunter raised his eyebrows, but unexpectedly a slight clicking sound came to his ears.
"Hey! You ......" Before Jia Xiao could react, Feng Chen had already quietly opened the trapeze mechanism on his legs. The dragon whisperer jumped to his feet in the stunned eyes of his companions and disappeared from Jia Xiao's sight. The epee hunter hurriedly got up to chase after him, but when he saw his companion on the cliff wall, he jumped down the steep slope of the mountain with a few moves, and even had time to turn around and wave his hand.
The cliff is high and smooth, and it is not easy to reach the top, and it will take a lot of work to descend the original way. Jia Xiao's toes stopped on the edge of the cliff, lowered his head and estimated the height, even if he landed rashly, even if he was not injured, he would suffer under those growing sharp crystal edges, and if he wanted to land safely, he could only do it with the help of a flying man. Jia Xiao was eager to pursue his companion, but he didn't expect that the other party would trap him with the terrain, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while. He had to stand still at one end of the moat, spread his hands, and shouted at the figure at the bottom of the cliff, "What the hell...... I'm not talking about this kind of 'consultation'! β
"You also know what the Hunting Troupe's decision will look like-" Feng Chen stuck out his tongue innocently, "not to mention that I don't have time to wait for everyone. By tomorrow morning at the latest, the Guild team will take over the entire hunting grounds, and if they want to make contact with the young dragon, tonight will be my last chance before sunset. β
Seeing that his companion was still unmoved, he leaned to the bottom of the slope, raised his head and looked at the other party with a sincere expression: "What you just said is right, even if it is as strong as two instructors, there will always be times when it is not caught, I can't hide behind the Black Star Twins forever." What's more, this is a mission specially entrusted to me before the fall of the Qilin, and sooner or later it will be up to me to complete it - if it is something that only you can do, I am sure you will not hesitate in the face of such an opportunity, right? β
The hunter on the top of the cliff had a changed expression, his eyes were boneless, and his tone softened slightly: "You can't do what you want by yourself every time, leaving the rest of us to be embarrassed in this barren mountain and wilderness, right?" You put me down, and I'm going to follow you until I get back to the airship, at least in the report, so I can explain it to the regimental commander. β
"It's uselessβ" Feng Chen tapped his temples, pursed his lips slightly, and stepped back into the distance, "Poachers are much more skilled at lying than you, and they can't escape these eyes." No, there is a trail at the other end of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, but you are already tired from chasing all the way here, so you might as well rest in place for a while. He pointed into the distance, "The dragon's nest is on the top of the hill over there, and if the trapeze is at full fire, it will only take twenty minutes to go back and forth at most." If all goes well, before you notice, I'll be back with the best news I've ever had since this commission. β
"What are you kidding?" Unable to make a plan, Jia Xiao's complexion changed suddenly, "When did the actions related to natural disasters really 'go well'?" Feed! Don't go! If the head of the regiment asks, how should I answer? β
"That's it...... Find a way to explain it for me! Feng Chen waved goodbye, and his voice slowly spread among the mountains. He lowered his head and turned on the rest of the switch of the hunting suit, and before he could trigger it, he heard a clear cough behind him, which was the voice of the Ailu clan that he was all too familiar with.
"You'd better explain it yourself, where are you going to leave in such a hurry?"
The dragon whisperer's neck was cold, and he slowly turned around with a grin. In the slanting sunlight, the cat stood upright, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the hunter with three points of impatience in his eyes: "If the master does not want to say this, I will do it for me - wait here, and then dare to take half a step out of my sight, you don't want to go back to the Far Hunter, and don't want to see the master again." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I ...... You...... Everyone...... How do you ...... Are they all here? Feng Chen's face stiffened, and he unconsciously licked his lips more than a dozen times in succession, but he still felt that his lips were so dry that they almost cracked. Even though the dragon cavity sensed the people who were coming from nearly a kilometer away, the moment he saw everyone, he couldn't help but blurt out a question.
The Dragon Whisperer never imagined that one day seeing the faces of his companions in the depths of the hunting ground would turn into a tricky situation comparable to that of facing an ancient dragon. There are many heads in the field of vision, and the combat members of the small hunting group have gathered eighty percent. Qin Shui was at the head of the team, his face was calm and he couldn't see the slightest anger, but the more this was the case, the more creepy Feng Chen's heart felt.
Being stared at by seven or eight pairs of eyes, even ordinary people will feel cold all over their bodies, and those who feel guilty are of course no exception. Under the pressure of a group of familiar faces, Feng Chen raised his hands and stepped backwards, and finally his heel hurt, and he stopped leaning against the cliff. The young man secretly raised his head and glanced at Jia Xiao, who was grimacing on the top of the mountain: "I thought it was ...... He was the only one. β
"The master has to arrange for the evacuation of the Far Hunt, and also to explain the affairs on the airship, I don't know how much thought it took to get out of the hunting ship, do you think everyone can do as they like you?" The cat snorted. At the foot of little Eru was a dug hole in the ground, and there was a cluster of crystal sand piled up at the mouth of the hole, and it was through the underground that the orcs escaped the warning of the dragon's cavity. The crystal material that makes up the ground doesn't seem to be as hard as the hunters think, but this is not the time to probe this information.
"You guy!" After a short silence, it was Xiong Fuji who stepped forward with a fierce face. The big man moved his arms, and his fists and feet kept gesturing at Feng Chen's face. The Shadow Hunter subconsciously crossed his arms in front of his face, but he only felt that a powerful arm was crooked around his neck: "Don't you think you have caused us enough trouble?" If it weren't for the head of the regiment here, I'd give you a hard time. β
The dragon whisperer was grabbed by the guy who was one size bigger than himself, and his throat was firmly locked under the armpit of the other party, unable to speak and not daring to resist, so he had to bend down and look at his own feet with a blushing face. It wasn't until Feng Chen's eyes were dark and he almost fainted that Xiong Fuji relaxed his strength slightly. The spearman leaned into his companion's ear and lowered his voice: "The two instructors are six-star bodies, and I don't care about the few bastard words you said. But I can't assume that I've never heard the phrase 'the little hunting group is not strong enough'. Look at me - that's how you see our hunting group? β
"Of course I didn't mean that...... "Finally breaking free from the crook of the other party's arm, Feng Chen explained curtly as he gasped.
"I understand, I understand-" Xiong Fuji nodded exaggeratedly, "The great hero who saved the Snow Mountain, the lucky one who was chosen by the ancient dragon race, of course it is understandable to complain a few words about the strength of the Little Hunting Group......
"But you remember, the monsters that the small hunting group has hunted in the past two years and participated in the rescue commissions are not necessarily less than yours, but no one dares to talk to the two instructors in that tone like you." The spearman clenched his fist and slammed into the dusty helmet, "As an adventurer, you may be so-so, but as a hunter, you are not necessarily better than any of us. β
"I'm sorry ......"
"It's not us who you're going to say sorry for." Nie Xiaoyang crossed his arms and said with a little schadenfreude.
The hunters moved out of the way, so that Feng Chen could see the Black Star Twins in the crowd. The dragon whisperer subconsciously shrank his neck, and before he could say an apology, he was first pressed back into his throat by Amphinis's gesture: "I heard what you and Jia Xiao said from a distance, and I heard that you were going to make contact with the natural disaster on your own initiative, so I asked them to speed up, but fortunately, they still caught up." β
"We haven't had time to explain it yet." Luo Pingyang continued, "Don't you want a way to stop the war? Before you leave, the teacher is about to tell you that the young dragon, it may be the cause of this war. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There were countless tiny particles floating in the sky, not rain and snow, but crystalline sand. Tiny crystals struck the outer tower, rustling the entire airship. The boatmen on deck tied ropes, bucket lids and tubs, kept their heads down and cleaned up, barely keeping the sand from accumulating on the ship. The air conditions were so bad that the moment they broke through the wind barrier, the applause and reassuring voices in the cabin rang out.
"My lord! We rushed in! The middle-aged driver looked behind him as if he was invited, almost unable to suppress the joy on his face, but Morin crossed his hands and was silent. The former deacon's pupils shrank, and he silently pondered something as he adjusted to the sudden brightening light in the command cabin.
Among the people he recruited, there were not many people who had seen the power of the ancient dragon race with their own eyes, so much so that they had to make a fuss about this little storm before the war. Compared to the "dragon ring" of the adult ancient dragon species, the wind barrier that the hunting ship had just crossed seemed weak and naΓ―ve, but it had grown much more than the chaotic high-altitude turbulence a few hours ago, and it faintly took on the rudiments of a natural disaster.
Compared to the insignificant obstacle in front of him, the little guy entrenched in the core of the dragon's lair was growing at an alarming rate, and that was what Merlin was really worried about. Sensing the driver's gaze, he nodded and ordered nonchalantly: "Slow down, prepare to stop nearby." β
As soon as the command came out, the microphone was busy for a while. Merlin had no intention of participating in the specific command work, so he stepped aside, closed his eyes and frowned, and rubbed his swollen temples.
"Isn't it too rushed?" Bai Shao asked in a deep voice as he stared at the rising horizon in the front window.
"You've watched Zero be built from scratch, and you know better than anyone what it's capable of." Morin's tone was slow but firm. The structure of the primeval creation, though intricate, has a margin for error that even the best hunting gear in the world can match: "Even if there is a small amount of plate armor and weapons in the corners and corners that are too late to carry them, they will not make the difference between the outcome of a battle - our Zero will not stop because it has broken a few pipes." β
"That's not what I'm talking about." The white-clothed hunter lowered his voice, "Are you still dizzy?" β
Mo Lin quietly removed his hand from the corner of his forehead: "It's out of the way, I've been fighting against it for so many years, and I've long understood the temperament of this power." It's you, with wounds all over your body, don't drop the chain at a critical time. β
Bai Shao just shrugged his shoulders, even if the mental injury can be compared to ordinary flesh wounds, the self-healing ability brought by dragon blood is also dozens of times that of humans, as long as there is sufficient supply, healing will not be a problem. On the way to the hunting ship, the white-clothed hunter's face had long since returned to normal due to blood loss, but Morin's face was still the abnormal sallow yellow color when he boarded the ship.
"After landing, Zero still needs to do one last check, ten minutes, and we can rest a little while while we have this opportunity." Bai Shao said. The pilot sounded the warning bell representing the landing, and the cabin was noisy for a while, and the cabin shook for a while, and after a while, a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the bottom of the ship was heard.
"I'm not a pottery doll." Morin opened the hatch and picked up the airborne cable, the hunting ship was still hanging at a height of dozens of meters, and it seemed that it was something else before it landed, "Five minutes is enough, don't drag the battle until after sunset." Night combat is no different to Zero, but you and I are different. β
In the faint daylight, a huge mass stood beneath the hovering airship, and the two were connected to each other by nearly a hundred thick cables. The fusiform shadow cast by the air chamber shrouded the primeval creation, and only a vague outline could be seen from a distance. Dozens of craftsmen and boatmen streamed down from the airship, skillfully settling down on various parts of the Zero, and quickly and silently overhauling it. Merlin descended the cable to the ground, just at one of the steel behemoth's feet. Bai Shao followed closely and greeted repeatedly: "Hey, don't you stay in the command cabin?" β
"Zero is our warrior, the Eye of Death's crowning masterpiece in the last ten years, and admiring it up close is my best rest." The former chief deacon stretched out his hand and lovingly brushed the surface of the war machine, the defensive plates on Zero's legs were dull and rough, covered with dense scales, as if they had been concocted to be the scale armor of some kind of beast. Mo Lin's palms paused slightly on the cold hunting gear, and his fingertips groped left and right, but his face changed, and he secretly cursed, "Damn ......"
"What's wrong?"
"That dragon cub is much more shrewd than I thought." Morin's fingers slid across the defensive plate, where there was an imperceptible scratch, apparently caused by the hunter's ship as it crossed the wind barrier, "The sand rain is mixed with some extremely hard grains, and the previous wind barrier was not meant to stop us, but to warn. β
The defensive version of the special material will not be destroyed by a mere sand, but the temporary paint used to conceal the aura on the outside will not be so lucky. Zero has a large number of ancient dragon materials applied to the body, and it is as dazzling as a lighthouse in the eyes of the natural disaster. The breath of the material only needs to leak a little bit, and it is possible for the other party to detect it, not to mention that there may be other means of exploration hidden in those grains.
"Tell the craftsman to finish the inspection, and you and I will set off now. If we drag it any longer, we're going to be in trouble. Morin said, stepping up to the crook of Zero's leg.
