Chapter 259: Unusual Terrain

"You're not surprised at all?" Nie Xiaoyang's eyebrows fluttered and he told Brother Xiaocheng's original words to Shentu Miaoling, among all the people, the girl was the most interested in the monitoring methods of the trade union. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when the supplies were replenished, the girl and Captain Su went to inspect the landing pad, and they didn't hear Cheng Jing's explanation, I thought I could raise some face in front of my teammates, but I didn't expect that I was rare and weird.

"If the Hunters' Guild wants to control the whole game, of course they need some special methods." The girl rightly said, "Even if you tell me what unknown camera technology the committee uses to make the whole game display on the manager's dinner table in real time, I won't waver." I even think that such a traditional detection method is a little too simple. ”

Nie Xiaoyang's excited expression froze on his face, and he took two steps back in a wry, following the side of the rear team, "I would have known that I wouldn't show it off." ”

"Little man, how far is this from the end of your last exploration?" The captain who was walking in front asked impatiently for the third time.

"It's almost there." Jia Xiao carefully identified the traces of dyed jade on the ground, which were left by everyone when they were exploring yesterday. After everyone finished replenishing their supplies, they set off immediately after lunch. Four full-fledged hunters and six apprentices served as an advance team of construction trucks and union scriveners, intending to find a path for those who followed and clear the way. Although he was a little anxious, Captain Su didn't deliberately speed up his pace - it was easy to reach the destination, but it was not good to leave a dangerous hidden danger on the road.

"But it's good that knowing the existence of White Ailu will allow you to let go a little bit in the competition. Don't be afraid to be alone when you're in danger, at least have a companion lurking to deliver the message to you—no matter how neutral they are, they can't turn a blind eye to the hunter's life. ”

"It's not as simple as you think." Finally stepping on the grass, the little fat man on the same team as Cheng Jing stomped his feet, letting the mud on the soles of his shoes fall off, "Bai Ailu's combat ability is almost zero, if you little ghost really encounter any danger, they don't have the ability to help you." Moreover, it is almost impossible for you to call them to deliver the message. ”

"How?"

"Calling them here is to pay competition points, even if it is the simplest location information, the points paid are not something you trainees can afford, and only hunters with more than three stars can use it once in a while." Fat Boy looked a little painful, and the captain had spent thousands of points privately in order to inform the camp of the emergency information of "preparing for the airship take-off and landing platform", and of course these points were shared equally among the team members. That's why the team was so shy that they had to hire trainees to be guides.

"Alright, this is the end of the last exploration." Xiong Fuji pointed at the backwater in front of him with the handle of his gun, "We met a large number of flying beetles outside that waterhole, so we had to retreat. ”

The little fat man put on his glasses and spread out the semi-finished map in his hand, but there were no professional surveying and mapping tools when he came, so Fat Dun could only use his hands, feet and eyesight as instruments to measure and draw the map with his bare hands. His fat hands were clenched into fists, his thumbs were erected, his forearms were stretched out, and he looked at them for a while without blinking, and then began to write and draw on the map with his head down.

"The commissioned information is not clear, the terrain in this area is not undulating, it is difficult to find markers, and I need to collect terrain samples from several places to confirm the location." The one-star hunter was carefully drawing the map, and at the same time he was distracted and communicated with the crowd, "Do you still have an impression of the surrounding terrain?" Is there any terrain that can be used as a marker? ”

"No, it's all plains like this, and the trees are ...... Belch...... Ferns, all look exactly the same. Nie Xiaoyang said innocently, "If it weren't for the slight difference in the shape of the grass and the waterhole, we might have lost our way the last time we explored." ”

"Forget it, which exploration wasn't the path Miao Ling showed us?" Xiong Fuji revealed, "If it were you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to get out of the first quagmire area, right?" ”

"Then we'll have to explore a little bit further and go as far as you can before it gets dark." Cheng Jing suggested, "Even if you don't find that 'special terrain' once, it's good to get more information about the inner marsh." ”

"By the way, what is the 'peculiar terrain' that you have been talking about?" Feng Chen asked, "It feels like the whole swamp is a cookie-cutter quagmire and lawn, and there is not even a decent monster around, what's so special?" ”

"It's 'thick fog.'" Another immature hunter in Cheng Jing's team, who had been silent until now, spoke. The big boy's accent had extremely strong dialect characteristics in it, and it took Feng Chen a long time to understand what he was going to say, "Intelligence said that someone saw a strangely shaped 'hill' in the dense fog. ”

The southern marshes are low-lying and rainfall-abundant, washed by rainwater all year round, forming such an endless marsh long before the visitors of the Old World. In other words, the terrain that formed the "hills" was eroded hundreds of years ago. Coupled with the abnormally dense fog, it is understandable to say that it is a "special terrain".

"A hunter's exploration is a needle in a haystack, and even the slightest anomaly is worth trying to investigate." Cheng Jing sighed in a low voice, "Those three-star and four-star high-level hunters, in the early stage of the competition, just sit in the back and wait for our information, which is like us, you have to run everywhere in person." ”

"What is there to complain about!" Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, Su Xingfeng slapped Xiao Cheng's forehead heavily with his fist, "If you want to lie on the bed and raise the corpse, you might as well give up the quota for the hunting sacrifice." You're also a hunter, can't you be more dedicated to your commission? ”

"Yes, yes, captain......" Cheng Jing nodded hurriedly, giving the teenagers a grimace where Su Xingfeng couldn't see.

"You're saying that a hunter has seen that peculiar terrain with his own eyes?" Jia Xiao pricked up his ears, "Didn't the information he brought back be attached to the entrusted information?" ”

"That's where the worst part becomes." Fat Boy said with a bitter face, "That unlucky hunter came from the nearby Camp 8, and was being chased by monsters when he found that strange mist, and finally escaped, but even lost his prop backpack. Without a record of exploration, the route can only be confirmed by the man's vague memory, and we can only confirm a general direction. The one-star hunter said hatefully, "Cut, even if there is a simple road map, it will be much faster than looking for a needle in a haystack like this." ”

"So which way are we going now?" Cheng Jing asked the captain, "There are still three to five hours before dark, and you can still explore dozens of kilometers." ”

"How about going in that direction?" Feng Chen wore "clairvoyance" and looked into the distance, and suddenly the entire vision was obscured by black smoke, he took off his glasses, but saw a sky-high black pillar rising from under the swamp in the distance, "The Hunting Festival Committee has stipulated...... What does black signal jade mean? (To be continued.) )
