The roar of the propeller was deafening, and as soon as the airship reached a few hundred meters away from the dusty hideout, it startled a bunch of birds in the trees. The formation of the Knights had no intention of hiding their tracks at all, and the four airships arrogantly blocked the retreat on all sides, and the signal flares communicated with each other endlessly, only the gap between the airships on the northeast side was slightly larger.

Feng Chen knew that it was not the pilot's negligence, but the ship's commander doing it on purpose. Running all the way to this wilderness, the defector hunter knew almost nothing about the terrain around him, and there was not even a decent monster nearby, and the average beast was too intelligent to use their eyes and ears. But Feng Chen knew that if he really followed the meaning of the knights to break through to the northeast, what was waiting for him was either a dead end, or a long-waiting knight team.

"Four airships, four full teams, what's that...... Long-range heavy crossbows? It seems that the Knights have made a bloody investment. Feng Chen's eyes were closed, and under the vision of the dragon's cavity, the hunters in the abseiling could be seen in front of the young man. After landing, the knight slowly spread out between the shade of the trees, making up for the last bit of flaw in the airship's vision.

"It's really ruthless...... the defection hunter laughed to himself. The men on the battleship had already locked down their positions, and at best, they had at least not launched a direct artillery attack from the air, burning the entire jungle along with themselves—according to what Dustdust had known to the Order for months, this was their usual way of fighting.

The Knights have the best equipment in the entire Hunters' Guild. Even if they are in today's situation, their individual combat power is far better than that of the fugitives who are the target of the commission, but as long as they can solve the battle with dozens of gold coins and a shot of naval guns, these guys will definitely not easily use the ground team: "I originally wanted to capture it alive...... It's not that easy for you to succeed. ”

The boy was talking to himself, pulling out a bottle of universal antidote from his waist, carefully crushing a flashbang, and pouring all the powder into the potion. The purple liquid in the bottle quickly rose into clusters of bubbles, and the dust seal tightened the cork before the foam spilled out of the bottle, and the slurry was still churning uncariously inside, as if it was about to break through the thin glass bottle at any moment.

The Knights' exploration was surprisingly fast, and when Dusty looked up again, several iron-colored hunter helmets could already be seen through the cracks in the haystack. The sun cast long, slanting beams of light through the gaps in the leaves, and Feng Chen propped his elbows on the ground, moving his body a few inches to the side, avoiding the dazzling sunlight.

"Disperse the search, he's around here!" The captain of a squad of knights looked up at the signal coming from the flagship and ordered his men. Before the commander could demarcate the scope of exploration, a strangely shaped projectile whizzed out of the depths of the grass.

The hunters hurriedly looked for cover, and the tall pikemen subconsciously rushed forward to resist with a horizontal shield, and the hidden weapon broke on the tower shield with a "poof". The captain waited for a few seconds in a dodging position, but did not hear the expected explosion. The spearman looked at the shield in confusion, and saw a pool of glowing purple liquid flowing down from the shield, dripping on the meadow and emitting white smoke.

"It's poison...... It's poisonous smoke! Evacuate! The captain's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and ordered his companions to retreat. The hunters who defected are outlaws, and who knows what kind of poison they will hide in their hands. The spearman was so frightened that he didn't even need his shield, and rolled back backwards. Unexpectedly, a figure covered in grass appeared in the shadows of the dense forest, and as soon as it appeared, it ran in the opposite direction of the knights.

Feng Chen ran as he ran, a smug smile rising at the corner of his mouth. The powder of the light insect corpse is concocted, and when briefly exposed to the air, it will continue to emit light and release heat, even if it is thrown into the water, it will not affect the further effect of the prop. The purple liquid of the antidote is already disgusting, and putting some insect powder in the potion is at least no less effective than any kind of poison gas bomb that the boy has ever known.

Although this little trick is effective, it can only be used once against the knights. The Guild's information transparency regulations have now become the ones he hates the most, and Dusty bets that the next time he encounters another group of knights, they will know all about his past methods.

"Where are you going?" Just wandered for a second, and there was an additional figure not far in front of the young man. The guy standing in front of the road was not wearing the battle armor of the Order, but was dressed in a silver-gray cloak, and his face was covered by a hood. Behind the hunter's back, strips of cloth were wrapped around the exposed hilt of the sword, pointing diagonally towards the sky from the back of his head.

After being on the run for half a year, Feng Chen is still not familiar with the standard clothing of the Knights. One is as the unknown predecessor said, most of the time in the mission of the union knights are disguised travel, and the other is that under such heavy survival pressure, the teenager has no intention of remembering these details. However, the person in front of him did not need to judge his identity, and the young man could recognize who he was just by his back.

"Uncle Hard," Feng Chen, closing his eyes, stealthily sensing the location of the other search teams. The danger was still far away, and the defecting hunter simply stopped, "You're here too." ”

Harder slowly raised his hand, Feng Chen's heart tightened, and his right hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, and his eyes swept over the signal flare and hunting props on Hard's waist. Feeling the young man's gaze, the old hunter did not hide it, and gently lifted the hood on the top of his head, revealing a pair of tired and red eyes: "In the past six months, I have been trying my best to find you. ”

"It's your job," Dusty nose soured. For the first time in half a year, the boy met someone he knew on the way to escape, but he didn't want to be Uncle Hard. The boy's approaching steps lifted and lowered, and finally retracted his body into the shadow of the leaves, "What are you going to do next, catch me back?" ”

Hearing the sound of the propeller weaken slightly, Harder pursed his lips: "I'm worried...... Your father, he's worried about you too. ”

"What did you say to Daddy?" As soon as he heard the news of his relatives at home, Feng Chen's face turned cold, and the hairs on his arms exploded.

"Nothing...... I don't know what to say to him. Harder shook his head bitterly, "I went back to the village once, thinking you would be there, but you didn't. ”

The ups and downs of the dust eased a little, and the snow forest village was also Hader's hometown, and the old hunter would not burn the flames of war to the village no matter how obsessed he was. Feng Chen turned his back: "I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the village for a long time, so you can do the same." ”

"You still have a chance, Dust Boy." Harder asked earnestly, "Tell me the truth, did you do those things?" ”

"What are you talking about?" The defector hunter laughed self-deprecatingly, "The attack on the Guild Hunter near the Royal City?" Wildfires in the ancient forests of the North? In just six months, I can't even count the charges against myself......"

"I'm talking about the Fengshan Dragon," the old hunter stared straight into the boy's eyes, "I've asked your companions in the Little Hunting Troupe, I've asked the Black Star Twins, and I've asked my colleagues in the three Free Hunting Groups in Golden Feather City, but no one will tell me what happened during the festival." The fall of the Fengshan Dragon, is it really like in the union report, is it your hand? ”

"That's right." Feng Dust shrugged and admitted cheerfully.

After half a year, hearing the young man's personal admission, Hader's eyes turned red again, and he said urgently: "But that's a hardship, right?" Even after a year of hunter training, you can't defeat the Elder Dragons single-handedly. What's more, you have been watched by me since you were a child, I know your heart, and you have no reason to do senseless damage to the hunter world. ”

"I can do it. There is some inside information, but the union paperwork is not lying - you can tell your boss about it, and you can put it in the commission report. The defecting hunter replied, but his hand was quietly released from the hilt. The boy didn't seem to intend to continue on the topic: "Uncle Hard, you can see too, I'm still in a hurry, and now is not the time to catch up. ”

"Where else can you run?" Seeing that Feng Chen had changed direction and fled, Harder smiled bitterly and stopped in a loud voice, "You have also seen the methods of the Knights, you are still too young, if you run endlessly like this, you will one day collapse in the escape...... Come back to the Hunters' Guild with me. I don't know if this was the idea that Master Anfei gave you, but continuing will only get you further and further off the right path. ”

"If you can run away or not, you have to run before you know!" The boy turned his back to Harder and stepped into the gap in the shade. But I only felt that the daylight was dim, and a huge airship was slowly floating out from behind the treetops, floating above the head of the dust.

Hell...... the defector hunter stopped and retreated into the shadows of the trees. A cold sweat rose on Feng Chen's body, and the airship came unexpectedly, and if he retreated for a second too late, he was afraid that he would have to eat a round of artillery. Missing the best chance to abscond, the defector hunter had to stand still carefully in the shadows.

The airship had time to adjust the angle of fire, and the position where it appeared was now, at this moment, the surroundings should have been completely sealed by the crossbow on the side of the ship, and the only way to come up again was to die. Only by hiding in a place where the airship could not be seen, the commander on the battleship was concerned about the lives of his companions, so that he would not easily launch the ship's weapons.

"Don't you believe Uncle Hard?" Seeing this, the old hunter moved under the airship and bathed his whole body in the sunlight.

"What is he going to do there?" Raven crossed the podium and leaned over the airship's front window. Harder's cloak shone in the daylight, as if he were afraid that the captain would not be able to see it.

"We can't stop him," replied the hunter behind him, "and as soon as the abseiling team opened the hatch, he was the first to jump down......

"Harder...... It won't be for the sake of a fellow countryman's junior, right? Raven said anxiously as he pulled the frame of the front window. The gap between the leaves of the forest was narrow, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the old hunter was standing in the center of the airship's field of vision, and from this angle, no matter how the battleship fired, it would envelop Harder in the fire.

"Forget about others, Supervisor Harder doesn't have the guts." The knight of the team said in a low voice, "This guy was eaten to death by Lord Mo, and the monkey ran down in a hurry, maybe he was in a hurry to make meritorious service, and he wanted to persuade that kid to be captured." ”

"This dust-sealing ghost is very good, the first few teams even tried to threaten people from the small hunting group, but I didn't see him go to the union hall to surrender himself, what kind of fame can he make?" The old hunter was still saying something to the shadows of the woods, and as long as the defector hunter was surrounded, the Knights' advantage would not change. The captain snorted, but still relieved himself: "That's it, it's a cronie of Lord Mo, what if he lets him be in the limelight?" Hold the ground team on hold, but the crossbowmen must keep an eye on it at all times. ”

"You are Uncle Hard, the hero of the entire Snow Forest Village, of course I believe you."

The young man turned his words, but his eyes were not on the old hunter's body, but kept glancing at the airship overhead, trying to find the commander of the battleship from the black airship front cabin: "I don't believe in the Knights. I was hopeful when I first left Loclac, but now it's clear. I'm tied here, and I'll never wait for a fair trial. If you really care about me, you might as well show me a direction from which I can escape. ”

"What are you talking about? Dust Boy ......" Harder opened his mouth, "As long as you are innocent, I will do everything in my power to protect you......"

"You can't do it—the Knights can't do it. Where are the defector hunters who were surrounded and suppressed in Casey Village? Feng Chen asked word by word.

Hearing the name of this place, Hader's face changed several times: "Those people have hurt the hunters of the Knights, and we have no choice but to deal with heavy hands." ”

"What about when the southern hills of Golden Feather City collapsed? I know you're on that team, too. The young man clenched his knuckles white, "There were still civilians on the battlefield at that time!" ”

"It was a complete accident, the union has already compensated their families." The old hunter replied, "Where did you get this information?" ”

"Accident...... Ha! Feng Chen didn't answer, and repeated the answer of the man in front of him to himself, "I haven't experienced a battle myself, so it's okay to be whatever you say." So if I'm sure I don't know the truth, I have one more here that I have seen with my own eyes. ”

Feng Chen recalled sadly: "In the fire of the ancient forest, in that eleven-person poaching group, there was a kid younger than me. He was honest and timid, and I had to relay some of the Hunter's will to him before he would pick up his weapon and fight the monster. ”

"Uncle Harder, you are also a believer in the God of Hunting, and hunters should not die before the first successful hunt. If such a guy doesn't deserve a second chance from the union, I'm afraid that a person like me who is a heinous crime will not even be qualified to stand on the judgment seat. ”
