Chapter 814: The Secrets of the Ancient Clan
Twilight's airship landed on the other side of the tentative. Passing through the villagers who had just settled down, several wild flowers common in snow-capped mountains were inserted into Nie Xiaoyang's head, shoulders, and hunting clothes. The moment you board the Far Hunt, the scent of flowers spreads across the deck. Seeing Shentu Miaoling and Qing'er, who rushed to greet her, Shuangdao waved the bouquet in his hand, and stuffed it into the arms of the female archer without saying anything.
"What's the situation on the hunting grounds?" Shentu Miaoling followed in confusion.
"It's not bad, but I'm a little reluctant to go." Nie Xiaoyang sighed. After merging with Feng Chen's husband, the Twin Blade Hands and a few companions were assigned to the second son's airship to assist in dealing with monsters that might be outliers during the migration. Everyone fought several battles one after another, and there was nothing wrong during the patrol, so they returned from the team: "Even everyone's safe place has been destroyed, but they are still treated with such enthusiasm." ”
Lu Xiu and the other members of the hunting group rushed up, and the female archer found that all the armor of everyone participating in the patrol had been decorated with mountain flowers by the enthusiastic villagers, and even the bone holes on Xiong Fuji's shield were not spared. The hideous shield became colorful and comical. The spearman stepped on the deck with his front feet, and his hands couldn't wait to pick up all over his body, feeling Qing'er's gaze, he said with a resentful face: "What are you looking at? The regimental commander had instructed that he could only take it off when he returned to the ship. ”
The little girl giggled and stepped forward to help the senior sort out the hunting outfit. Nie Xiaoyang dusted off the petals on his body indiscriminately, and couldn't wait to say to Shentu Miaoling: "Na, there is a question that I have been holding back for a long time......
"Ah...... Huh? "The female archer is a spirit. As if she had thought of something, she looked to the side and subconsciously hid the bouquet behind her back: "What's wrong?" ”
"What the hell is that monster that Chief McGonagall turned into?" The hunters set off in a hurry, and they only had a general understanding of the battle situation in Xuelin Village, and Xiao Yang never forgot the "dragon" in the mouths of his companions along the way. finally met the witness, and he finally had a chance to ask.
The female archer breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then her cheeks flushed with some annoyance, and she looked at Xiong Fuji, who then boarded the deck: "I was busy mixing potions for Feng Chen, and I didn't see anything, why don't you ask the big guy?" ”
"I asked, but he would just tell me 'those are fakes.'" The Blademan pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "I think that guy seems to be frightened, and he has been on patrol all the time. ”
"I didn't! It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable on Zhuang Dusk's boat. The spear hunter retorted forcefully, "No matter how many times I ask, my answer will not change." Whether it's a dragonman or any other race, there's no way they'll become something like that in a few breaths. ”
Referring to what he saw on the airship, Xiong Fuji suddenly turned red-faced: "If you want to ask my village chief if there is a connection between him and the blue dragon - maybe there is, but it is definitely not what you think." What to laugh at? Although it is not appropriate to say this, a piece of flesh and blood that is less than a hundred kilograms can't multiply into dozens of tons in a few seconds anyway, right? ”
"There are powerful monsters in this world that can call the wind and rain, and there are ultimate weapons that are capable of not losing to it......" Nie Xiaoyang took the lead in opening the hatch and glanced at Lu Xiu, who was silent, "There is a guy standing next to you who can't be measured by common sense, seriously, isn't your definition of 'impossible' a little too broad?" ”
"Even when it comes to the commission report, I won't change the rhetoric." Xiong Fuji said categorically.
Seeing the other party's solemn appearance, the double knife hand decided not to tease him anymore, and instead said to the companions who stayed behind: "The letter newspaper said that we are going to fly to the snow mountain next, when will we leave?" I can't wait. "The outliers in the beast tide are generally not of high rank, and after a few battles, the young people are still unfinished.
"It's not up to us to decide." The female archer removed the bouquet from under her nose without a trace, and retracted the raised corners of her mouth, "Something is wrong with the Far Hunter, I'm afraid it will be a little later." ”
After the boat landed, the crew never stopped. Within hours of the patrolman's departure, the deck of the hunting vessel had been refilled, some fenders had been replaced on the side sides, and more than one part of the air compartment had been repaired. Driven by Feng Dust and Mo Lin, although the Wyvern Race Battle over Xuelin Village only lasted for a few minutes, it mobilized hundreds of lord-level monsters after all. Even the occasional breath that flies onto the ship can cause quite troublesome damage to the hull.
At the head of the airship, the heavy ramming horns that should have been made of the strongest material on the entire ship were opened from the side of a hideous crack several meters long. The thick layer of metal was dented, like the work of the ridiculously strong blue dragon. The moment the dragon appeared, the crew was in their own panic and shock, and no one remembered when the blue dragon's tail swept over the bow of the ship. For now, although the walls of the ship were sound-isolated, the screeching of metal cutting and grinding outside could still be heard from inside.
However, the biggest problem of the hunting ship was not in the devastated shell - once the battle began, Sha Minghai manipulated the Far Hunter to rush left and right in the herd, constantly changing sharply, greatly exceeding the load of the power furnace. The rough maneuver was unsurprisingly retributed, and the pilot who took over could barely maintain half speed for the rest of the flight. Even with such care, the power furnace was still as red as a miniature volcano, and puffs of smoke rose from the four auxiliary propellers. Thanks to the conscientious shipwrights who braved the hot steam, they broke into the furnace room and manually adjusted the valves in the first place, otherwise, the Far Hunt would have met the fate of being dragged to Locklac and rebuilt.
The danger had passed long before Dusty woke up, but there was no new news in the power room, and it was not possible for the airship to return to normal work in a moment. The little commander paced back and forth in the command cabin, and the dragon whisperer, who had just regained some energy, had to find a corner and sit down with his head up, temporarily closing his eyes and recuperating. The victorious hunters pushed the door into the command cabin and saw such an anxious scene.
"The Hunter is above, you're back!" Seeing his companion at the door, Feng Chen's face finally had a little more joy. Although he had only been away for half a day, the situation in the hunting ground was changing rapidly, and the dragon whisperer spent his second in it, as if he had been separated for a long time in a trance.
"You've woken up too, and it looks like everyone is going well." Nie Xiaoyang smiled.
The corners of the dragonwhisperer's mouth fell in an instant, the life and death of the village chief McGonagall was uncertain, Morin was absconding, and there were still a lot of things waiting for the little hunting group to finish, but the young people could only wait here. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a sign of "going well".
"Hey, I know what's going on on the ship." Seeing his companion's frustrated appearance, Shuangdao patted Feng Chen's shoulder with both hands and suggested, "Since we are back, everyone has Zhuang Dusk's boat available, right?" The Far Hunter isn't the only airship here. ”
"Nope." The head of the regiment and Feng Chen replied in unison. Qin Shuiyu stopped: "The two big ships can't leave this temporary place too far, once there is a new danger, they are still needed to ensure the safety of these villagers." ”
"But......" Xiao Yang scratched his scalp irritably, "although the truth is true, but McGonagall's predecessor is also a 'civilian'." You didn't see that when I came from the camp, more than one of the villagers came to me and asked me where their village chief was. I can only vaguely go through them one by one. You can't tell them that the village chief turned into a monster and flew away, right? ”
Suspicion and insecurity are contagious, especially among the victims, and the Little Hunters have experienced its horror more than once. Qin Shuiyu bit his lip, as if he was weighing it in his heart. Before she could speak, footsteps approached in the corridor, and the hatch of the command room was opened for the second time.
"Yo, everybody's here." Sha Minghai's face was still a little pale, but his spirit seemed to have returned to normal. The experience of fainting at the most critical moment of the battle situation made the young man feel a little restrained in front of his companions, "I originally planned to come back secretly alone." ”
"How's that going to work?" The tone of the double knife hand was teasing, but there was envy in the words. Although Xiao Yang was not on the Far Hunt, he had also generally heard the information, "When the battle started, some people were controlling the airship, and they could still retreat from hundreds of lords, which is something that only a pilot can do." You're out of the limelight over there! ”
"After all, it didn't help." Sha Minghai crossed the crowd and returned to the driver's seat, leaning back in the seat. It is a small matter of fainting and humiliation on the post, and once they drag down their companions, young people will have to spend themselves in self-blame in the future: "In the previous battlefield, we caused so much trouble to our companions, and it is time to make up for it." ”
"Fainting again is not compensation, but chaos." Outside the command room, Lu Yingying said angrily. She reached out to stop the hatch that was about to close, and strode in: "You guys, when are you going to escape?" ”
…………
"I'm really dazed to let those crew see you in the lounge - eyes open." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the little scribe scolded while checking the driver's physical condition as if no one was around.
The special medicine used for several sand scorpions can theoretically shield the suppression of the dragon family's rank at the highest level. There was an accident of fainting, maybe the location where the blue dragon appeared at that time was too close to the airship, or maybe it was the same as Iblujiu, with the blood above the dragon's family, or both.
"Either way, the impact on you is not as simple as the symptoms of the moment." Lu Yingying taught a lesson, opened Sha Minghai's eyelids and looked at the light, "How do you feel?" ”
"Shame." The driver blinked. "I mean...... It's just an ordinary detachment. Leave that battlefield and rest for a while, and it should be fine. ”
"It looks like it's fine, but I'm not a professional doctor, so I can't guarantee that there won't be sequelae." Over the past few months, the little bookkeeper's research on the sand scorpions has been quite fruitful. But the more she learned about the mysterious properties of Emon's forbidden drugs, the more cautious Lu Yingying became when dealing with these survivors, "It's better to go back to the rest cabin and observe for a while, and you can't take it lightly, and the same goes for other people." ”
"We don't have that kind of time." Sha Minghai patted the bridge in front of him, "I heard the crew say that this ship will go to the snowy mountains next." If you continue to rest, you don't know when you will be able to take off. He smiled gratefully at the scrivener, "Besides, you've done a better job than many professional physicians in order to follow all the way to the command module for diagnosis." If you say it's okay, then there's nothing to worry about. ”
As a scrivener, Lu Yingying saw through the concept of stealing in the driver's words at a glance. But she didn't say it, but sighed: "I should have known it a long time ago...... You hunters are all the same. ”
"Have the remaining seniors woken up too?" Xiao Qing'er hurriedly asked. The little flute on the airship was responsible for taking care of the retreating sand scorpions, until the hunting ship landed and the ship's doctor and Lu Yingying took over, the fainting crew members were still clenching their teeth and breaking out in a cold sweat, which made the little girl worry all the time.
Sha Minghai nodded: "It's been a long time since I woke up, Sha Ye was the earliest, and when I heard the news of the explosion in the power room, that kid didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran to the stern of the boat - there is no microphone in the lounge, I came to tell everyone...... Rest assured, with our first mechanic here, the hunting ship will be up and running in no time. ”
The good news came one after another, which made the head of the regiment temporarily relieved. Seeing that Lu Yingying had finished the routine test and put away the record book, she was about to turn around and go to the power room to chase after another guy who was hiding from the doctor, Qin Shuiyu took the first step and grabbed the corner of the scrivener's clothes: "Wait a minute." I know it's hard for some strong people, but what I asked you to do before...... Got eyebrows? ”
Lu Yingying turned around and straightened the brim of her hat, and said in a determined tone unique to a scholar: "The bibliography on the airship is not complete, and I can only do some rough research in addition to taking care of the patients. But in my memory, there is no historical record that the dragonmen have such abilities, not even the most obscure legends. ”
"In other words, senior, will his life be in danger, can't even you guess?" The little head of the regiment said in a dejected manner, the unknown is more disturbing than bad news.
"We only provide facts, and we never make assumptions without premises." The scrivener made a gesture of impotence, "Senior McGonagall has talked to me about a lot of topics these days, and I have learned a lot from him. I know that my predecessor is not some ordinary dragonman, but it has developed like this...... To be honest, it's far more than I imagined. ”
Lu Yingying's eyes flashed with a strange luster: "The only thing I'm sure of is that if it's not for everyone on the airship to have a collective hallucination, it's because you have discovered a deeply buried secret of an ancient clan." I'm looking forward to the moment when you get him back, whether it's a human or a monster, I want to see Chief McGonagall again. ”
"Commander?" In the driver's seat, Sha Minghai covered the sharp sound in the microphone with his hand, and said loudly, "The fault of the power compartment has been eliminated, and it can take off in five minutes, do we have to leave now?" ”
