It wasn't yet completely dark, and the lights were already lit in the camp of the supply station, where craftsmen were putting the finishing touches on the tents. There are openings on the sides, and the tent with stars on the roof cannot withstand the night cold on the hunting grounds. Right now, even inside and outside the stationmaster's tent, there are several hunters in the process of mending them. A considerable number of tents had been destroyed in the previous battle, and the rest had to squeeze the entire camp out, at least for tonight.

Standing outside the tent and waiting for a few seconds, Qin Shuiyu finally waited for the guard hunter who passed the rumor. The girl stepped inside, and the withered horse was lying on his back in his seat, his eyes closed and rubbing his sour temples. The old stationmaster had just picked up a life in the hands of poachers, and his energy was already poor, and most of the drugs to stop bleeding and dissolving stasis had a calming effect, and he had worked under double pressure until now, even an iron-like soldier couldn't help but show fatigue.

"It's back......" Hearing the footsteps of the female leader, the withered horse shook his head slightly, and returned to the table with both hands. The square table was piled with all kinds of forms and reports, the inner corner of the table was cut off by something, and the long to-do list hung down the edge of the table, "You guys have worked hard. ”

"Stationmaster." Qin Shui Yu made a hunter's salute in a dignified manner. There was a shortage of manpower in the camp, and the small hunting group took the initiative to take over the work of assisting in the preparation of defense: "We just made a routine inspection, and there are not many places that need to be done, so it is not hard." ”

The poachers had landed inside the supply depot from the start, and the traps and stakes on the periphery of the camp had not been touched much. The fence is seriously damaged, but there are few building materials left in the camp, and the small hunting group has the intention to go out to take some wood for emergency, but it is late, and it is not wise to go out of the camp at this moment, so it can only be put on hold for the time being, and it will be left until tomorrow morning.

"There's no hurry. It's just a few fences down, and we won't have insomnia tonight. The old stationmaster raised his hand to suppress the girl's report, "The fence is just according to the rules of setting up the camp, and the monsters that can break through the rank barrier will not be stopped by a few broken logs." ”

"But what about poachers?" Qin Shui Yu said solemnly, "During the airship war, many poachers jumped out of the boat in advance, and the battle situation was chaotic, and there would always be one or two fish that slipped through the net. These vampires of the hunting grounds will not easily retreat until they get what they want. I'm worried about ......"

"It doesn't matter, the first evil has been burned to ashes, and all that's left is a few stragglers." The stationmaster explained, "The camp has been restored to night watch, and a few poachers deserting from the camp will not be able to make it to the climate. I've sent a letter to a nearby supply depot to warn them at most of a small group of outlaws. ”

The female head breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what next?" When we came back, we saw that we still needed people in the medical tent, and the little hunting group could go there to help......"

"You've done a great job." Dry Horse smiled and said, "If you are not careful, I will use you as a big soldier." The Little Hunter Group is His Royal Highness's honored guest, and he didn't come to the Emerald Tower to do these things. The supply station has a special rescue for Ailu, so you don't need to worry. Everyone's injuries have not healed, so let's go back and rest today. ”

"If you're going to get hurt, isn't everyone else here the same?" The girl's mouth pursed, "Stationmaster, now is the time when the supply station needs combat power. Everyone is still busy, how can the little hunting group rest at ease? ”

The dry horse sat up straight and carefully studied the Qin Shui ballad. The girl said sincerely, but what she thought in her heart couldn't hide the eyes of the old stationmaster, he let out a long "um", and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I see, your help to rebuild the camp is fake, and it is true that you are in a hurry to leave, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound outside the tent door. Head Qin looked back, but saw that the curtain door was secretly lifted in a corner, and several pairs of eyes were secretly looking inside. Dry Horse stretched his neck and recognized the heads of Xiao Yang and Xiong Fuji squeezed together through the crack in the door, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He raised his hand and beckoned to a few little guys: "Come in, all of them are blocked outside the camp tent, what do they look like?" ”

The young people rushed in, and the tent suddenly became much more crowded. The hunters stood behind the little captain and looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

A thin power of attorney was placed in front of the old stationmaster, and the footer was slightly curled, as if it had been read many times. Dry Horse's hand hung over the power of attorney, reluctant to sign his name. He simply put down his pen, grabbed the page and shook it a few times, looked up at the young hunters and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I always feel ...... It's like letting the little hunting group go to death. ”

What is recorded on the paper is the commission issued by His Highness Yoda. There was no observation of the unicorn itself, and there was no information that could directly prove its location, and the mission was far from over for the small hunting group. The Freedom Hunting Regiment could have left at any time of their own free will, but the young people had to rely on the Dry Horse Stationmaster in front of them for supplies.

Traditionally, local unions have paid for the supply of cross-border operations in advance, and then settled between the branches after the commission is completed. As the person in charge of the supply station, Kuma needs to make a procedural signature on the power of attorney to make a voucher for the withdrawal of supplies.

However, the Little Hunters have already arrived in the south of the border, and all kinds of information point to the same place, and their next destination is undoubtedly the depths of the Emerald Tower. Knowing that this hunting ground was now in chaos, the old stationmaster was worried and tried to prevent the young people from moving, but he had no jurisdiction over Scarlet's visitors. As a last resort, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the request on the grounds that the supply depot had not fully recovered its function, in order to wait and see what happened and find a safer time for young people to travel.

However, the people of Scarlet could not wait for a moment, and the young people dragged their wounds to participate in the reconstruction of the camp like chicken blood, hoping that the supply station would be back on track sooner and the hunters would be able to enter the Emerald Tower sooner.

"Seniors in Ryan Yelu, maybe haven't heard much of our deeds." Nie Xiaoyang crossed his hands and said half-jokingly, "Although the resume of the Little Hunting Group is still shallow, when it comes to the ability to send people to death, among the younger generation of the entire Scarlet, we are the most proficient. ”

Instead of laughing, the old stationmaster let out a long sigh and shook his beard, "We're talking about hordes of flying monsters, an unknown number of poachers, and a living ancient dragon - not separately, but all at the same time, you know what that means, right?" ”

"We understand your concerns. However, most of the flying species hover on the outside of the hunting grounds, and as long as they go deep into a certain area, I think the Emerald Tower will be safer than usual. Shentu Miaoling said thoughtfully.

"As for the poachers...... "Xiong Fuji grinned, "there are Lu Xiu's airships, and if they do meet them in the hunting grounds, they should be afraid." ”

"You were lucky enough to win two poaching boats, and it was just your luck before." "The battles involving airships are all dangerous and abnormal, and if you have such thoughts, I will never dare to sign - even for the sake of His Highness, I will not let his friends fall to death." ”

"Big Bear!" Jia Xiao glared at his tall companion fiercely, "Stationmaster, don't mind, I just like to say things like this." Once in the hunting grounds, we will be very careful not to come into contact with poachers. ”

In the name of hunter glory, if any team of hunters of this age stood in front of him, the withered horse would not open this opening. However, at the cost of the safety of the entire supply station, he saw the ability of the Little Hunting Regiment, and what the old stationmaster was able to confirm was that they at least had the ability to protect themselves in the Emerald Tower. Seeing that the little hunting group had made up his mind, he didn't interfere too much, and handed the power of attorney back to the female head of the group in one fell swoop.

"You're going to use that Scarlet-sized ship, right? I'll get the supplies to be delivered to the airship as soon as possible. ”

"Huh?" Hearing the old hunter's words, everyone in the small hunting group became suspicious in unison. Nie Xiaoyang touched his nose: "We...... I thought it was just a sign, supplies or something, and we didn't need to prepare it for a special trip. ”

"Stationmaster......" Qin Shuiyu also pursed his lips and said, "All the little hunting group needs is a pass permit, that's all." The current state of the camp is already very difficult, and the limited supplies should be reserved for the garrison hunters first. ”

The stationmaster frowned strangely: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Supplies for the camp...... Didn't they all burn out on the poachers' boats? Feng Manyun asked hesitantly.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the small hunting group in front of him, the withered horse twisted his beard and chuckled: "What was burned by the poachers is just a drop in the bucket." This is no ordinary outpost camp, and if all the supplies add up to less than two small airships, what kind of supply depot are we? ”

He stood up, waved his hand at the tent door, and said, "Come with me." ”

The damage in the second half of the camp was much more severe, mostly caused by falling shells from airships during the war. Many of the tents had burned to ashes, and the smell of burnt paste filled the air. The dry horses led the way, detouring along the narrow passage between the barracks until the end of the camp.

"Is there a warehouse hidden here?" Commander Qin looked around, and under his feet was the place where he had fought with the red-bearded poachers. The battle between the hunters had turned the place upside down, and no half barrel of airship fuel had been found.

"Much more powerful than that." The dry horse smiled mysteriously and walked straight to the bottom of the huge rocky mountain. The old hunter groped around the mossy rock, and after a while he heard a "click", and under the astonished gaze of the young hunters, he lifted a palm-sized green slab from the crust.

The cat's eyes widened, but there was a hole behind the ordinary stone shell, and a delicate machine lock was inlaid on the rock, and the levers and buttons were arranged in a staggered manner. Everyone in the small hunting group subconsciously turned their heads, and after the squeak of metal, four straight gaps cracked in the stone wall, revealing a small door that only allowed one person to pass through.

"Wait a minute." After the withered horse dodged through the small door into the stone wall, the sound came faintly from the door.

The young men looked at each other for a short time, and a series of twisting sounds sounded behind the stone wall. Not far from where the little hunter group stood, a huge stone slab fell off the rock wall.

"The mountain is falling!" Nie Xiaoyang exclaimed, and the plate-like boulder pulled out a long shadow in the setting sun, and Mount Tai pressed towards the small hunting group like a top. The hunters were in a commotion and took refuge in the distance, but the stone slabs fell silently to the ground against the hunters' sides.

Behind the collapsed stone slab is a black space, like a large mouth opened by a boulder. Nie Xiaoyang looked inside, only to see the crates neatly stacked inside, which was clearly a huge warehouse.

"It's the door of the warehouse...... Hell, it's an airship? Raising his head again, looking up at the headless square platform-shaped boulder, Nie Xiaoyang's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Didn't Your Highness tell you before you came? This depot is the central stop for the entire Emerald Tower. Dry Horse walked out of the warehouse with a smile, "If it is before Thor settles in, the material storage standard here is enough to support a month-long large-scale commission, so many materials, there must be a way to store them." ”

"It turns out that it was under the noses of poachers from the beginning......" Feng Manyun looked at the piles of fuel drums revealed in the warehouse, "This is really ......"

"The secret medicine produced by the royal family was originally intended for high-level hunters above four stars, but I still have some resources in my hands that can be flexibly used."

"The mountain is falling!" Nie Xiaoyang exclaimed, and the plate-like boulder pulled out a long shadow in the setting sun, and Mount Tai pressed towards the small hunting group like a top.
