Chapter 632: Grasp
"That's it—" Lena wiped the sweat from her forehead and tucked the portable taper and wrench back into her waist bag. After the high-intensity battle, the high-precision demolition work was immediately followed, and even Lina was exhausted after finally pulling out the blasting core, and her expression was a lot weaker.
The bombing trap made by the huntress herself is easy to set up, but it takes a lot of work to dismantle. The design of the hunting gear itself did not consider the problem of dismantling, even if it was trampled by the hairy Xiong Fuji, the slight electric spark could still ignite it. The Shadowhunter never spares in the amount of gunpowder, and it's no easier to deal with this little box than it is to deal with a fire dragon with breath in it.
The little hunter watched as Lena took the trap back into her treasure-like backpack, stood up and patted the floating ash off her hands, and said in a pretentious gesture, "If you were a Shadow Hunter, what you did just now could be regarded as a declaration of war. Good thing you weren't—despite the mess of the battle just now, thanks, anyway. It's not often that you can see the goodwill of union hunters on today's volcanoes. ”
"Hey!" Xiong Fuji stood at the back of the line from a distance. The stout hunter was just exposed to the path of a powerful explosive bomb, and if he hadn't accidentally stepped on the lead, he would have turned into a large barbecue. The two-star hunter who learned of this was still in shock at the moment, and the hunting gear kept rubbing on the ground, trying to wipe off the remaining gunpowder on the surface of his feet, "How are you ......?"
"Identity?" Lena smiled meaningfully, "The standard hunting costume, the skills mass-produced in the training camp, and the kind of sissy style that only hurts but doesn't kill...... Oh, there's a girl here. The huntress realized that she pressed her index finger to her chin, "—and she almost pinned the hunter's badge to her chest." And that bracer, I've noticed it a long time ago, it's the work of the dragonman, right? ”
"Don't think about hitting it!" With the Shadow Hunter's finger, Xiong Fuji subconsciously hid half of his body behind his companion. In the past two years, the hunting suit on the big bear has changed more than once, but this bracer is still worn on his body. The hunter is not only for the extraordinarily practical ornament bead of "power liberation", but also for the silver wrist armor is a sign of his honor and a testimony to the memory of the beginning.
"The craftsmanship of the dragon people, I don't want it for nothing." Lena glanced at Xiong Fuji with disgust, "A group of people who are desperate for the end, and the things they make can only be used for viewing. She looked away from the bear, "So, how did a few rookies from the Hunters' Guild think of climbing the volcano?" The union has the audacity to send you to reconnoiter the enemy? Or did the hall not tell you at all that the entire hunting ground had been taken over by the Shadow Hunters? ”
"Hmph...... All the hunting grounds in the whole New World are under the jurisdiction of the Guild. What qualifications does a group of moths from the hunter world have to threaten to take over? Jia Xiao's eyebrows raised and he said coldly.
"Whatever you do with your poor self-esteem." The Shadow Hunter spread his hands helplessly, his eyes sweeping over the bodies of the six young hunters, "Inferior masks of the standard...... You can see that you are still somewhat prepared, at least not like the Shadow Hunters who stupidly went up the mountain. But that's not enough. ”
"Most of the people in this hunting ground are Shadow Hunters, and anyone can see your identity as easily as I do. You must have suffered a lot if you were able to sneak all the way to the halfway up the mountain, right? A word of advice to you, hurry down the mountain. Whether it's clearing out a few monsters on the farmland around town, or taking a small notebook to record the weather, the Onifury is not a place for you to touch, and if you continue to stay on the volcano, you may not die at any time. ”
"Before you care about us, you might as well care about yourself." Feng Manyun's sword never recovered, and the slender blade was dyed a dark red under the reflection of the lava. With the threat of the Xishu Hunters, their companions also took a step closer in unison, as if by doing so, they could bring psychological oppression to the Shadow Hunters.
"Hey! Stay away! Lena raised her hands slightly and took a step back. She looked at the white hunting suit that sealed the clouds, "This equipment ...... Are you going to make yourself a star hunter? ”
"You're a Shadowhunter, and you can still laugh when you fall into our hands?" Nie Xiaoyang clasped his hands to his chest and asked condescendingly.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of you." The Shadowhunter replied nonchalantly, "With a few half-grown children—even if you don't include the little sister hiding over there, you're not on average twenty years old, right?" At this age, you can't threaten an elite Shadowhunter. ”
Lena didn't feel the slightest nervousness, and when she was dismantling the trap, the huntress even exposed her back in front of everyone in the small hunting group, clearly not taking them seriously: "If you want to kill me, you won't get involved in the battle just now." I'm familiar with the Hunter's bullshit glory, and even if we tie ourselves up and kneel in front of you, you'll have to hand it over to the Knights according to the procedure - oh yes! The Shadowhunter made a look of abrupt realization, "There are no airships on the volcano that the Hunters' Guild has lost, and without supplies and backups, the Demon Fury Room is like hell for you, right?" ”
"What kind of guy did we rescue...... Xiong Fuji patted his forehead and muttered softly. Finally got a source of information, but this woman didn't understand the situation at all, kept gagging, and even had some difficulty communicating.
"That's because I have something to ask," Qin Shuiyu coughed, and the hammer in his hand shook towards the other party, "You'd better answer obediently." ”
"I knew you were here to investigate this underground commission on the volcano." Before the little head could ask, Lena took the lead in talking to herself, "I thought that the Hunter Guild's response would be faster and the movement would be bigger, but I didn't expect to send only a few of you...... It's just a matter of coping with things, and it's really a style that only trade unions have. ”
"Do you know any information about this eruption?" Hearing the huntress muttering, Jia Xiao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"Well, of course I do." The Shadowhunter's eyes narrowed, and he replied cheerfully, "What do you want to ask?" It's okay to tell you, anyway, if you're lucky, this commission is about to be revoked. ”
"Revocation? What does that mean? The little head of the regiment doubted, "Do you know who issued that commission?" ”
"When the commission was issued, I was standing next to it." Lena shrugged, "It's our captain who signs...... Good guys, I signed a dozen or so many in a row, from the hunting ground on the north side of the volcano all the way to the Swamp. ”
…………
"Do you really want to do that?" When she came back to her senses, there were already six bright weapons lit up by Lina's side. The blade covered all the weak points around the Shadow Hunter, and the little leader's heavy hammer was even more aimed at the back of his head, as if he was about to tear the hunting suit and skull in the next second, "I spent a lot of effort to make this hunting suit, and if it breaks, I won't even be able to find spare materials." ”
"It's poached stolen goods anyway." The archer said this, but the arrow moved an inch upward, pointing at a section of the huntress's neck that was exposed outside the hunting suit. The hunting costume made of the special species of the bubble fox dragon has a dazzling and gorgeous appearance like stitched petals, and no matter what its provenance is, Shentu Miaoling can't bear to brutally destroy it.
"To be clear, which underground hunting group are you? Why such a cruel commission? Qin Shui asked with a sharp shout.
"This is not the attitude of asking for information......" was pointed at her body by several cold lights, but Lena did not waver in the slightest. The huntress tilted her head slightly and looked at Captain Qin, who looked like the leader of the team. There was no point in lying on such a question, and the hammerwoman's gaze told her that the little master had already believed seven or eight points. The Shadow Hunter snorted at a short knife at the heel of his neck, "Anyway, you hunters have a rule that you don't aim weapons at your own kind, right?" Is it really good to do it to this extent? ”
"You scumbags have long been removed from our list of 'kind'." A little cold light flashed on the tip of Xiong Fuji's gun, "Don't interrupt, answer the question!" ”
"Okay...... Well, what a boring little ghost. Lena gave him a blank look, "You little beasts in the greenhouse, you haven't heard of the name 'Reverse Scale', have you?" I'm the fourth member of the Scales, so why would I want to make such a commission...... It's to catch a monster. The captain said that if he could get rid of most of the Volcano Lords, it would be much easier to track it down. ”
"Dragons?" Feng Manyun asked.
"Yo, the intelligence work is good." Lena chuckled, "The last time I confirmed, they were very close—oops! Under the dust mask, the huntress's smile froze in an instant, "Signal...... I forgot to confirm the signal! ”
"Put your hands down!" The poachers' equipment is not conventional, and they may have some deadly traps on their armor. Seeing that Lina's hand was touching the helmet, the characters of the small hunting group hurriedly shouted. Xiong Fuji put the spear across the woman's ear, "If you dare to move again, I will pierce it!" ”
Lena closed her eyes, her breath already trembling. The Shadowhunter's panic was not due to the six people surrounding him in front of him, but to Captain White Night, who was far away on the top of the volcano. If the captain blames himself for not sending a reply after a long time, the heavy crossbowman will no longer want to return to the group in peace.
Thinking of this, the woman's eyes suddenly opened, and she said angrily: "I have four different models of explosive bomb traps in my backpack, and two of them can be triggered instantly. I'm a crossbowman, and I have 70% of the space in my pockets for crossbows. With this amount of explosives, you can die unnoticed at any time, if I will. Again, she emphasized, "At any time." ”
"What's more......" Lena looked at the leader of the small hunting group, "If I am pointed at the neck by a few pieces of scrap iron, am I going to be arrested?" Even if I don't use weapons, I have dozens of ways to counter you instantly. The only reason I have the patience to play quiz games with you is that I think you guys are pretty cute. Now I have important things to do, and if there's someone who makes me feel uncute, I don't mind killing him by the way. ”
When the last sentence was spoken, on the woman's body, everyone in the small hunting group saw Lu Xiu's shadow in a trance. It is still Lu Xiu, who is full of power and exudes the power of the dragon clan all over his body, making it difficult for people to look at directly. The poacher was still boasting one second ago, but the next second he exuded a terrifying killing intent without warning, whether it was the contrast between them or the sudden oppressive force, everyone in the small hunting group involuntarily took a step back.
"That's right!" Seeing the young men obediently give up their seats, Lena narrowed her eyes and put her hand on the eyepatch of her helmet. Before he could pull down, the Shadowhunter felt the back of his hand silently being pressed against a knife.
"You're slightly stronger than them," the heavy crossbowman looked up at Feng Manyun more, "Courage is commendable, but it's not very useful." That look like a hunter, but you're still a long way from qualifying. ”
Lena raised her other hand and gently pulled down the black blindfold, this time no one stood in the way. The huntress looked up and probed carefully into the sky in the direction of the summit.
"What's that?" Xiong Fuji asked in a low voice to his companions.
"Eighty percent of the lenses are specially coated to receive signal flares." Shentu Miaoling explained.
The area around the volcanoes controlled by poachers is a special case in the entire New World. Most of the time, Shadowhunters are on the same scene as Guild Hunters. Under the watchful eye of the union patrol boats, these guys want to communicate with each other, and the most important thing is secrecy.
"The flares are black after lift-off, and are almost undetectable at night, revealing their original color only under the lenses with a special coating." There is no unified scheduling in the underworld, and large teams of poachers each have their own special signal recipes. Female archers have been exposed to such techniques for a long time - of course, such experience comes from the bookmakers.
"Ahh Got it! It's dangerous......" In front of the six Guild Hunters, Lena searched around as if no one was around, and finally saw a cluster of azure streamers near the top of the mountain, and the Shadow Hunter fixed his eyes on the past, but muttered, "Strange, the team's flare...... How did it come to this color? ”
"Uh, you should take that lens off." Jia Xiao scratched his cheeks and proposed, "That's not the light of the signal, let me see it...... It should be lightning, right? ”
Everyone in the small hunting group looked up together, and in the direction that Lena pointed, the night sky had been occupied by a small thundercloud, and the blue thunder continued to split down from the clouds, which was very dazzling.
"That breath...... It is eight points similar to the one in the sea of thundering sand. Feng Manyun whispered uncertainly, "Commander, I suspect that there is more than one dragon on this mountain. ”
"You mean ......"
"More than half of the certainty, there may be an ancient dragon hidden on this mountain peak. That kid must be somewhere on the volcano. The white-clothed hunter shook his head with a complicated face, "With his temperament, he won't miss this kind of feast." ”[.]
