"Ahem...... It's like there's only a few of us left in the hunting group.? ? U8???．? Ｕ ８?Ｘ Ｓ?`Ｃ?Ｏ?Ｍ?” Nie Xiaoyang flipped the mushroom pork leg on the grill, the wet wood choked the young man's face red, and the smoke rose to the top of the treetops. In ancient times, there was a light rain before noon, and the sound of water droplets falling was still heard in the interception of the towering giant trees.

"That guy has been acting alone in Locklac since he joined the group, and he hasn't even made a single commission with us," Xiong Fuji muttered as he lay on his back on the still wet soil, "The number of times he's met with us in the past two years can be counted on one hand, I really don't know why the head of the regiment still keeps his name on the roster." ”

"Eat your meat!" Jia Xiao stuffed the steaming pork bone into his companion's mouth, "Chewing the root of his companion's tongue behind his back, he is not afraid of being listened to by the hunter ancestors." ”

"Listen to it...... the hunter grabbed the bone stick, regardless of the burning, he bit a large mouthful of meat in his mouth, and said indistinctly, "Even the hunting group that he is sending himself to can't make a contribution, what kind of hero is it?" Look around you, we are already a second-order hunting group, and the other second-order hunting groups have begun to form their own supply teams at this time, maybe even have crossbows. What about us? If you take any commission, you have to go into battle with all of them. ”

The Little Hunter has been wandering the outskirts of the Ancient Forest for nearly a week, and this area is a union farm through and through, with "safety" and "boredom" written on every leaf. The young hunter of seventeen or eighteen years old was longing for more thrilling battles in every pore of his body, not to mention that the little hunter group had grown up all the way, and experienced all the things like the ancient dragon species. It is better to ask them to keep a down-to-earth record of the ecology of a hunting ground, and it is better to put them in a prison cell.

The hunting group was unable to accept the commission of the battle type, most of the reason was the limited number of people, and under the boredom, the young people vented all their grievances on Feng Manyun who was far away in Locklac.

"And Lu Xiu...... The commission that Manyun received in the sand sea can at least be counted on the resume of the small hunting group. Xiao Yang turned the pork leg over and tested the ripeness of the meat with a peeling knife, "I don't know if the dragon man is still a 'hunter'." ”

Jia Xiao sighed deeply, I don't know who brought up the words at the beginning and introduced the topic in such a heavy direction. He forced a laugh: "Xiaoyang, you should also stop." On the bright side, it is in the name of those two that we can live a fairly good life in Jinyu City, otherwise it will be up to a few of us, and I am afraid that we will not even have to do such a commission. ”

"How many of us?" Xiong Fuji swallowed the barbecue meat bubbling with oil in his mouth and sat up with a "pout". In the past two years, the hunter has become taller, and the muscles in his body almost explode from the hunting suit, "What's wrong with a few of us?" Miao Ling is almost enough to be promoted to two stars, and the rest of us are fake two-star hunters, not to mention two former hunters of the hunting festival."

"Big Bear!" Nie Xiaoyang cast a resentful look, and he raised the pig's leg in his hand demonstratively, "Mention the hunting sacrifice again, and I'll stick this bone in your throat." ”

"My mistake ......" the stout hunter waved his hand in a sneering manner, Xiao Yang's past with him challenging for the Victory Prize was a hidden pain that the hunter had not wanted to mention since Locklac. Even if he often goes toe-to-toe with his teammates, Xiong Fuji has been avoiding it intentionally or unintentionally, "I want to say, whether it is Feng Manyun or Lu Xiu, their honor is earned by them, what does it have to do with the small hunting group?" I don't want to work so hard to build up my resume that everywhere I go is said to be living in the shadow of two heroes. ”

"Let's face it, after this commission is over, we will have new companions." Jia Xiao half comforted himself and said, "The Hunter Ancestor can finally give us some good luck." ”

"What good luck? What are you talking about? ”

The three hunters followed the prestige, and Qin Shuiyu was already standing at the back of the camp at some point. The huntress has long since gotten rid of the slightly sweet baby voice of her youth, and now her voice sounds graceful and pleasant, with the reassuring feeling that only a regiment commander has. If it weren't deliberately mentioned, the companions would often forget that the girl in front of them was the youngest in the entire hunting group when the group was formed.

"Okay, how about we come back and have dinner together?" Shentu Miaoling crossed her arms and interrogated Nie Xiaoyang, who was busy in front of the meat rack, with an unkind face. The female archer has been much taller than two years ago, and the extra height seems to have been added to a pair of **. The hunter was slender and his arms were slender and white, and it was hard to imagine at a glance how quickly those arms could pull the heavy compound hunting bow behind their backs.

"I figured you'd be back." Xiao Yang only glanced at the girl beside him, then hurriedly withdrew his gaze, touched his face embarrassedly, and his charcoal-covered fingers made a few black marks on his face, "Can't let the girl wait...... No, these are roasted for you. ”

"I'm not a pig!" The archer looked at the steaming roast meat in his companion's hands with a smile in his eyes. The thighs of the mushroom pig are enough to cover the whole face, "Just cut the rest to the head of the regiment.?? U8 ?８ＸＳ`ＣＯＭ”

"It's not like I'm stealing it behind your back, I'm just trying to see if it's cooked......" Seeing the little leader's eyes staring directly at him, Jia Xiao pointed to the barbecue in his hand and said innocently.

"I didn't forbid everyone to eat," Qin Shuiyu pursed his lips and grabbed the cat on his shoulder with his backhand, "Chai He is still wet, and the smoke has drifted out for several kilometers." You're not hunters on your first day, do you still need me to tell you about these things? ”

"What's the matter, you can't see a single predator for a week here." Big Bear said indifferently. He grinned and bit down on a piece of flesh, "Even if it really attracts one, are we afraid that it won't work?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the grass next to the camp. Several young men moved their ears slightly, and silently touched the weapons beside them. The swarthy thorn grass split into two patches, a few moments, but a sneaky head peeking out from behind the haystack.

The huntress looked a little younger than Regiment Leader Qin, and the baby fat on her cheeks that couldn't even be covered by a helmet looked like she had just left the training camp. The standard helmet was slightly wide over the girl's head, and the long handle of the weapon behind her back was almost above her head, still swaying slightly as she moved.

"Sister Qing'er, why did you come back?" The female archer let go of her shoulders and retracted her bow, "Your commission has been completed?" ”

"Open...... Is it time to eat? The huntress asked timidly, blinking at the wheel of her big clear eyes.

…………

"Hmm" The girl swallowed the last piece of meat, poured two mouthfuls of water from the pot, and wiped the greasy on the side of her mouth with her backhand, and the satisfaction on her face was finally completely replaced by depression. The corners of her mouth drooped, and she said to her companions in a dejected manner: "I don't know how many times, that guy was scared away by me again......"

The huntress is named Zuo Qing, and strictly speaking, she has not yet joined the command of the Little Hunting Group. Half of the reason why the hunting group came to the Ancient Forest this time was for her promotion commission. The girl also wore a wooden badge symbolizing the temporary hunter on her chest, clearly having just obtained the qualification for promotion from the training camp, and was surrounded by the people of the small hunting group, looking a little helpless.

"Don't worry, we'll find it." Head Qin sat down next to a girl who was a year younger than himself, "Speak slowly, where was the last time you saw that guy?" ”

Qing'er's commission target is a monster bird that lives in the ancient forest, the monster has destroyed several farmland on the edge of the forest in the past few weeks, considering the girl's novice status, the union's order is to capture as much as possible, and if necessary, allow crusades, no matter how you look at it, it is a fairly ordinary commission.

"I've already touched its nest, the eggs and newborn chicks are inside, and it's less than thirty minutes away." The girl grimaced, "But I've tried all kinds of methods, but that guy just won't fight me, and when he sees me, he doesn't even want his lair, he turns around and flies away." ”

"Tell me, it's time for you to change your weapon." Nie Xiaoyang shook his head and said, "The startled bird dragon species is not so easy to catch, no matter how you look at it, this guy is not suitable for a sneak attack." ”

"But I don't have to hunt the flute...... I won't use any other weapons. Qing'er's nose was sour, "The first time I fought, I shouldn't have fought so fiercely, I thought it would end quickly, but I didn't expect it to have so much physical strength......"

The last time I saw the hunting flute, it was when the valley boys were challenging the festival, and the blessing of Captain Su's flute made a deep impression on the hunters. The giant flute resembles a heavy hammer, but it is hollow, and it makes a flute sound when it is waved during battle, and with the blessing of the Elu clan's mysterious technology, it can provide teammates with a buff effect that is not inferior to that of hunting potions. It's just that the battle of the hunting flute is too conspicuous, and to attack means to declare one's position. When I saw the entrusted target for the first time, the little guy in front of me was so excited that he was afraid of the big monster bird. Over the next few days, the monster almost reflexed, and every time it heard the sound of the flute, it was eager to flee to the other side of the continent. The promotion commission is a solo mission, and the task can only be completed by the strength of the girl alone, and even if the companions have the heart to help, they have to follow from afar, so they have wandered in the ancient forest for such a long time.

"If I can't complete the commission, will the little hunting group not want me?" The little flute was already crying when he spoke.

From an angle that the girl couldn't see, the head of the regiment glared at Xiao Yang fiercely: "Where is it, everyone is ready to accept you, so they will accompany you to do the promotion commission." Rest assured, there are still a few days left until the end of the commission, and we still have plenty of time. ”

"Uh...... I'm afraid that's not the case anymore. The cat's ears stood up, jumped on top of its owner's head, and looked around, its palms pointing to a place in the air. The companions followed Elu's point, and several flares were rising from the gaps in the canopy.

"What does that mean?" Xiong Fuji scratched his head.

"Tell us to come back? Why? Shentu Miaoling squinted her eyes and carefully confirmed the intention of the signal flare several times before she whispered suspiciously, "The airship is over there...... It's not the wrong signal. ”

As if to answer the huntress's doubts, the same signal rose again after an interval of more than ten seconds, and the agreed return instructions lit up three times in a row before slowly dissipating under the blue sky.

"That's not wrong, the airship should already be preparing, and I'll confirm the location with them in an hour." Despite the suspicions in his heart, the little regiment commander gave the order first, "Put out the bonfire and clean up the camp." ”

"Huh? Now? Why? Nie Xiaoyang hadn't recovered from the sudden order.

"I don't know, but it should be something that matters."

"What about my upgrade order?" Xiao Qing'er sat in the middle of the crowd, holding her oily little hands, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you want to leave me here alone?" ”

"By the way, and your commission......" Hearing the girl's voice, the young people remembered this stubble. The two-star hunters looked at each other, and Jia Xiao tilted his head towards Xiong Fuji and quietly glanced at him.

"How's that, do you want to be together?" The hunter smiled slightly, "Didn't you just say that you wanted a fight?" ”

"Little girl, lead the way." The stout hunter stretched out his big bear-like hand, "Where's that guy's lair?" ”

…………

"Senior, this is my commission alone, you can't just walk in like this!" The girl took two quick steps and turned to block the two young men in front of her.

"If you have to say it," Jia Xiao wiped his nose, "We also have the task of surveying the hunting grounds, so it shouldn't matter if we go in and have a look." ”

The female flute bit her lip, as if she felt that Jia Xiao's words were not logically wrong, so she moved away gloomily.

The cave where the giant monster bird lives is very spacious, and the sunlight can easily shine from the entrance to the well-groomed nest. As the girl said, in the nest of branches and hay, the newly hatched birds and the blue and white eggs were huddled together

"It's like being back in the valley again." Xiong Buji had a playful smile on his face and whispered to Jia Xiao, "Look at you." ”

"It's the same as before." The two-star hunter also laughed softly, strode to the lair, and the heavy sword Shi Shiran pulled out from behind, and the next moment he had already smashed the egg in the swaddling clothes.

"Hey! This is against the rules of the union! ”

"Tell the old cat to go." Xiong Fuji grabbed the flute, "Give me the weapon." ”

"It's like being back in the valley again." Xiong Buji had a playful smile on his face and whispered to Jia Xiao, "Look at you." ”
