Chapter 804: In My Life
Over the blue pine forest, the Far Hunter adjusted its direction twice in succession, pushing the speed to the maximum. The weapons compartments on the side of the airship were opened one after another, and the ammunition for the guns and crossbows was fully loaded, and each was adjusted to the best angle of fire. The battleship was like a high-ranking flying species, showing its sharp fangs for the first time over the hunting grounds, but not to hunt anything, but to protect the fragile lives on its back.
The fighters on the hunting ship had gathered on the deck at this moment, Xiong Fuji clutched his spear tightly, and a tower shield stood behind Feng Chen. Shentu Miaoling, who was not far away, held three arrows in one hand, and her fingertips did not leave the bowstring for a moment. Even Xiao Qing'er was holding the hunting flute, nervously paying attention to Feng Chen's expression, it seemed that as long as the shadow hunter's face showed a slight discomfort, even if he frowned, he would immediately wave the war flute and play a flute song with a waking effect.
Surrounded by his companions, he uncomfortably changed his posture to lean against the railing. His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he complained in a strange tone, "To be honest, the way you look only makes me more nervous......"
"I'll do it with a flute to relieve tension, do you want it now?" The little girl asked earnestly.
"No, I mean ......," the Dragonwhisperer explained helplessly, "the 'dangerous' part is reserved for me. As long as everyone stays on board, at least they can be safe. You've already helped a lot with your previous work, so why don't you take this opportunity to take a break? ”
With a dinosaur chasing after you, no flying species would be stupid enough to risk taking to the skies. The sky of the Great Snow Mountain was empty at the moment, and the hunters looked like they were facing a great enemy, except for guarding against birds, in fact, it was not of much use.
"I can't leave you alone on deck." Shentu Miaoling shook her head lightly and lowered her guard slightly, "In five minutes, the Far Hunt will fly over the gentle slope we pretended, and then you will have no chance to breathe, and you should rest the most here." ”
"That's right." Feng Chen nodded happily and sat down on the box containing supplies. In today's situation, the most worried person is undoubtedly to seal himself, but in the eyes of the dragon whisperer, the anxiety of the rest of the team members is especially great, as if they are about to challenge the limit of the dragon's ability: "There is still a little time, if this can make everyone more relaxed...... On the other side, I already know about the avalanche on the hunting ground. ”
"How did you ......" The female archer was startled and subconsciously looked at Xiong Fuji. As soon as the words of sealing the dust came out, the remaining three people became more and more nervous. The three companions winked at each other, and the spear hunter made a gesture of innocence, and said, "I didn't reveal anything to him." ”
"Don't be wrong about Qing'er." The Shadow Hunter smiled apologetically and stepped forward to stop Shentu Miaoling's gaze. Zuo Qing behind him was holding the hunting flute, looking innocent. Dusty tapped his toes on the deck a few times, "It was 'they' who told me." ”
Ten minutes earlier, Meco, from the lookout, had observed waves of snow churning in the distance. The location of the snow disaster coincides with the direction of the Black Star Twins' exploration, so that observers cannot convince themselves that it is just a random natural disaster. Although they were worried about the safety of the two strong men, a crucial battle was imminent, and at the behest of the female archer, the companions still chose to conceal the information from Feng Chen. Everyone didn't expect that there were thousands of beasts as their eyes and ears, and the news of the entire hunting ground could not be hidden from the eyes of the dragon whisperers.
"I just said, this guy will know sooner or later!" Xiong Fuji shook the barrel of the gun and breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention how much the spear hunter himself cared about the whereabouts of the six-star hunters, letting him keep such an important secret was more of a headache for him than leaving him in front of a group of gluttonous eaters.
"Your dragon cavity...... It's an annoying ability. The female archer shook her head.
"From the beginning, there was no need to hide from me, and I was also concerned about the instructors, but I also knew the priorities. At least for now, the battle before us is what matters. Seeing the thick gloom on his companion's face, the dragon whisperer said half-jokingly, "What's more, the command of the airship is not in my hands, even if I want to pursue them regardless of the situation here, you won't agree, right?" ”
"It's not this ...... that we're worried about" Shentu Miaoling looked at Feng Chen's eyes, trying to see the true emotions under his complexion, and tried hard for a moment but found nothing.
"Sister Miao Ling," the Shadowhunter said slowly, "believe it or not, after the events of the volcano and the Emerald Tower, especially after coming into contact with the Kirin, my way of looking at things is very different from before. ”
"What I've learned from the ancient dragon species is a predicament that threatens the entire continent. My worries, my hesitations, and even my lives didn't matter compared to a truly serious crisis. I've seen so many battles, disasters, and deaths since I stepped out of the Snow Forest Village, and they've happened to me like that, and every time I can't do anything about it. Now that I have the power to make a difference, it's my responsibility to use it where it works best. Feng Chen paused for a moment, and then said firmly, "Don't worry, the lives of tens of millions of civilians north of the Snow Mountain are above all else, and I won't let any situation affect the commission of the hunting group." ”
Listening to the assurance of sealing the dust, Xiong Fuji showed a look of relief when he boarded up. Xiao Qing'er's eyes turned red, obviously moved by the words of her predecessors. Shentu Miaoling's gaze stayed on the dragon whisperer's face, although Feng Chen's expression was as usual, there was a light looming in the depths of his eyes, and this companion who had returned from a long absence seemed to be immersed in excitement and excitement that even he hadn't noticed. The female archer casually responded to something, and the next second she fell into thought.
"Besides, Instructor Anfei and Instructor Luo, they are the strongest hunters I have ever seen, even if they really encounter a natural disaster, they will definitely find a way to save the day." Feng Chen added, "Before leaving, Instructor Anfei asked me if I had a bomb for the 'Flying Man', and I watched them put Master Tresor's explosives into the barrel. Now that I think about it, it is possible that the avalanche was caused by them on purpose. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Feng Chen's information was like a reassuring pill, and finally dispelled the only remaining doubts in Xiong Fuji's heart. The spear hunter's shoulders collapsed, and he leaned lazily on the railing of the deck: "I've been worried that the heroic spirits of the two instructors will come all the way back, blaming us for 'why don't you go to the rescue'." Since that's the case, then I'm relieved. ”
As soon as Big Bear's words fell, Feng Chen stood up. The deck door opened, and the Dragonwhisperer looked behind the door and beckoned to the figure on the deck, "Uncle McGonagall? ”
Magnini's steps were a little hasty, and he caught up with the bow of the ship in three or five steps. Behind the dragon man village chief, the young boatman to whom the sand scorpion belonged also hurriedly chased after him. Seeing Shentu Miaoling, the young man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I warned the senior that it was too dangerous on the deck, but he insisted on coming up ......"
"Chief McGonagall, is there anything that is not well taken care of on the Far Hunting?" Seeing the dragon village chief, Shentu Miaoling stepped forward and asked Shi Li.
Zhuang Du and Ning Yuan's airship could contain hundreds of villagers in Xuelin Village, and the hunters thought that the Far Hunter could be liberated and concentrate on the battle. However, the dragon people boarded the boat before setting sail, but they did not mean to get off the boat for a long time. The time to set sail could not be delayed, and the little hunter group had to arrange a separate cabin for him on the airship.
"Of course not, I'm worried I'll cause you trouble on the ship." McGonini put his hands behind his back, "I heard the announcement in the microphone, and it's about to start, right?" ”
The village chief asked the female archer, but his body squinted at the wind in the air, and he looked ahead of the course of the hunting ship. The physical fitness of the dragon people is really different from ordinary people, and the airship at full speed brings a chaotic air current, and even hunters can barely get used to it after a long time. Magnini was a civilian, but his body was like a pine on the turbulent deck, and his feet were much more stable than those of the young hunters.
"You should be on the other two boats, with the villagers." Shentu Miaoling said with a sad face. On the way ahead of the battleship, the other two hunting ships in the same group were nowhere to be found, probably finding a safe route and hovering to an altitude of more than 1,000 meters on their own - until the herd crossed the village and the area was completely cleared, the transport ships full of civilians could not land with confidence.
At the foot of the mountain, you can already faintly see the outline of the landing flat and the snow forest village, and the northern settlement that was still feasting and enjoying a few days ago has now turned into a lifeless ghost village, just waiting to be run over by the iron hooves of countless monsters, announcing the end of its fate. That kind of scene seemed too cruel to everyone who was rooted in the village. Feng Chen licked his lips and echoed, "Yes, Uncle McGonagall...... You shouldn't be allowed to see that. ”
"Shelling Village is my home, and I have witnessed its past and present. Whatever the fate of the village, I want to see it to the last moment. The dragon village chief said solemnly, he took a half step back and moved outside the hunters' circle, "I'll just stand here, if there is danger, I will hide as soon as possible." Don't worry about me, just do it. ”
The buzz in the microphone sounded just in time, and the hunters were all in their moods and looked beyond the railing. In the clairvoyant eyes of the dust, directly below the hunting ship was a gentle slope, the pine trees were not dense, and you could see smoke and dust rising from all directions towards the hillside, each of which meant a herd of beasts of no small size. In just half a day, the herd of beasts had been guided by the dragon whisperers, and one by one they had changed their respective directions, converging within a radius of several kilometers. In the past, this was enough to mark the hunter's resume in red, but for today's Feng Chen, this is just a warm-up before the main play.
"Hunter's glory is above...... Xiong Fuji just glanced down, and hissed a large puff of cold air from his teeth. There are at least a few hundred lord-level guys in the pine forest, and counting the clansmen of the group race, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands. This number is scattered on the kilometer-level hunting grounds, although it is far from the level of rubbing, but it is already extraordinarily spectacular under the panoramic view of the airship, "The town-level disaster is nothing more than that." ”
"Without the help of the sound box, I can't talk to hundreds of people at the same time, how can I communicate with a thousand monsters?" Qing'er clenched her fists and said worriedly.
"I don't need to pass my voice to every monster down there, I just need to let one of them hear it." Before closing his eyes, Feng Chen finally explained. He made a silencing gesture: "This is the most amazing thing about the ancient dragon language." ”
As soon as the vision in front of him changed to a dragon's cavity, the entire hunting ground instantly turned into a long and deep night sky. The exhausted Lone Ranger Dragon, the Ratcobo Dragon, and the injured Wyvern Lord all turned into stars of varying brightness in the eyes of the Dragon Whisperer. The stars move at their own pace, but they echo each other, as if they are being manipulated in the shadows by a large invisible hand. Through the flickering stars, the hunter peered deeper into the night sky, a wisp of thought carefully transmitted: "Here I am, I can hear it...... Just find a way to answer me. ”
…………
"The herds have begun to merge." After a bird's-eye view for a long time, Xiong Fuji came back with joy on his face. The spear hunter dragged the tower shield to McGnini's side - even though the dragon chief had said so, as a hunter, he still couldn't really ignore a civilian in front of him, and at least did his duty to protect it to a minimum.
Chief McGonagall maintained a posture with his hands behind his back, looking at the dust seal at the dragon's head as if he was nothing. The Shadow Hunter still maintained a connection with the beast herd, and Xiong Fuji whispered to the village chief in the direction of Feng Chen, "You are not as surprised as we imagined, should we say that the dragon people are really well-informed?" ”
"Our clan is born with the bloodline that can communicate with monsters, but the same power wants to appear in humans, this is a legend that only exists in the classics." Magnini spoke.
"Is there anything like that in the books?"
The village chief nodded: "There are indeed several ways for humans to learn the ancient dragon language, which is not a secret in the clan. It's been a long time, I don't remember it exactly, I just know that either way, it takes a lot of courage, perseverance and luck on the part of the learner to do it. ”
McGonini didn't dwell on this issue and said, "But even among the dragonmen, only a very small number of pure-blood members can successfully learn it, and such young people are protected by the Council of Elders as precious talents. I had only had the pleasure of meeting it once before I left the Old World, so I wasn't much of a 'well-informed'. ”
"The Dragonmen have such a powerful character, they should have come to the human world sooner. With their help, there are many fewer innocent civilians on this continent. The spear hunter sighed unabashedly.
"Frankly speaking, in the past few days, seeing Xuelin Village in the midst of fire and water, I also have the same hope." Magnini said with a sad expression, "Unfortunately, the Dragonmen uphold the creed of absolute neutrality, and the laws of the Presbyterian Church are much stricter than those of the Hunters' Guild and the secular realms. At least for the rest of my life, I'm afraid I won't see anything like that. ”
