Chapter 288: Mountain rain is coming
Team Leader Zhong was quite uneasy in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He ordered the fence to be raised, the alert range increased to ten kilometers, replenished everyone's hunting tools, and had the trainee set up a number of traps in the camp, but the old hunter always felt that he had left something behind. An atmosphere of mountain rain filled the entire camp, leaving the bearded man breathless.
It wasn't because of the possible existence of the patriarch of the Sickle Crab Clan, even if it was a General Sickle Crab who had reached the advanced predator species, he was confident that he could entangle it for a few hours with the assistance of two or three two-star hunters, and the rest of the hunters would still have a considerable chance of repelling the Crab Group as long as they were properly arranged. He was worried about something more dangerous that might exist in the swamp - the Great Swamp was classified as dangerous, not because of the mere gregarious primates or crustacean species, and Zhong Dinghui preferred to believe that the hunting ground had so far not revealed its hideous face.
The team leader left the general affairs to his two-star hunters, and he stayed in front of the mission board all afternoon, hoping that he would be the first to see when new information came back. The rest of the hunters, seeing that he was worried, paced and wandered, sometimes stood up and sat down, and did not dare to come closer, so they only quietly tore up the notice, signed and left.
The sound of the propeller sounded from afar, and the supply ship loaded and unloaded all the cargo, completed the formalities, and finally set off and left. The take-off, landing, loading and unloading of the battleship was taken care of by Captain Su, and there would have been no leakage, but the bearded heart gradually became cold as the sound of the propeller became more and more dense.
"Someone," the team leader beckoned, "send out a flare, gather all the hunters who are out exploring, and tell them that the quest is over early, and the commission will be paid as usual." ”
The hunter who gave the order shook his hand, knowing that something was coming, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the hunter, and trotted all the way to the lookout.
"Team leader, the latest information!" At this moment, a dusty one-star hunter raised his weapon and jumped through several bunkers to rush over.
The uncle hurriedly stood up, grabbed the young hunter's body, and snatched the hand-drawn map in his hand: "What's the situation?" ”
"We followed the general route given by Captain Su and explored, and we didn't find the ......fog," the one-star hunter said too quickly, choking on spittle, and he coughed vigorously twice before continuing, "But I found traces of sickle crabs here, more than a hundred crab holes, and the mouth of the cave is still damp." ”
"Where did they go?"
"...... here," the one-star hunter pointed to a clear and terrifying red line on the map, "the extension of the crab hole is our camp. ”
The information of the monster's attack instantly spread from the mouth of the leader to the ears of every hunter who was still in the camp, and one by one the temporary commissions were released, and Outpost Seven once again entered its state of war. The monsters burrowed more slowly than walking on land, and it was the galloping of the one-star hunters that gave the camp time to buffer, but the time was still very short, and the team leader estimated that if the sickle crabs did not take a detour in their journey, then the first group of monsters would reach the outskirts of the camp within half an hour.
"It's getting dark." Captain Su came to the Kanban as soon as he heard the news, "This battle may be very difficult. ”
Human eyesight is not suitable for night fighting, and most monsters are very good at it, and there is not enough firewood in the swamp to make a fire, and it is almost impossible to provide a view of the entire camp. The hunters fought the monsters in the dark, almost like sending them to their deaths.
The team leader thought for a moment and said, "Demolish the barracks on the north perimeter and use wooden building materials for lighting. Abandon the landing pad and gather everyone around the fence on the south side - we can't put all hope in the whims of those little guys, and once the crabs dig their holes, I don't want everyone here to fight on their own. ”
…………
"What do you think?" Watching Xiong Fujiyi remove the hot towel on his chest, revealing his strong muscles, Jia Xiao asked.
"It won't be better, just innocuous shocks - if it weren't for your threats to keep me behind, I would have gotten out of bed and trained this morning." Big Bear grumbled, but he cautiously drank the recovery potion handed over by his companion, although the boy had a strong recovery ability, the dozens of attacks of the peach fur beast really had a great impact on him.
"Let's leave when the equipment is ready, the leader's order, our houses will be demolished, and today's main battlefield is at the south end of the camp." Jia Xiao took the lead in pushing open the door of the tent, "Go directly to the task panel and gather, the others should have arrived by now." ”
Hearing this, Xiong Fuji dressed properly, grabbed his weapon and ran to the designated place against the gloomy evening sky. When he arrived, Team Leader Zhong was already counting the number of people, and the old hunter patted the young man's shoulder, his palm warm and steady: "Can you fight?" ”
Xiong Fuji nodded confidently, and the pride of a newborn calf appeared on the young man's face.
"Okay, let's meet up with your teammates, your mission is to protect the scribes, the camp doesn't expect you to kill many monsters, but you must ensure the safety of the entrusted target."
"Team leader!" A two-star hunter interrupted Uncle Zhong anxiously, "The number of people has been counted, and there are two one-star hunters who haven't been able to come back yet." ”
Thanks to the old hunter's hunting instincts, the signal to return to camp early was sent earlier than the information about the crab's movements, and most of the explorers had already returned to camp, and gathering together in the treacherous hunting grounds would minimize the danger.
"Send a flare, and urge again, the monster is only ten minutes away from us at most."
"I've tried, several times." The two-star hunter was also a little anxious, "But I haven't been able to observe the other party's reply signal, I'm worried about ......"
"There's nothing to worry about, even rookies have some ability to be on this hunting ground, and the exploration task is not difficult for them." Zhong Dinghui is the backbone of the entire camp, even if he is worried at this time, he must not show a trace of hesitation, "Wait another five minutes, if they haven't come back yet, send a team to investigate along the exploration route they have delineated." ”
"Bang!" A flare shot straight into the sky from the lookout, the red light group lit up the twilight of the vulture a little, but it made the leader's heart suddenly tighten, the red single signal was the sign of the observation of the monster, according to the intelligence they should not have come so early: "Oops, how ...... the sickle crab"
Without waiting for him to think about it, the two-star hunter beside him hurriedly pushed open the lookout hole on the camp wall and looked out. As soon as the hunter's eyes touched the lookout hole, the whole person's body trembled suddenly: "Team leader...... It's not a sickle crab, it's a peach fur beast! ”
In the twilight on the other side of the swamp, a group of huge pink figures were constantly jumping forward, and a tall peach-haired beast could be seen slowly moving from the group to the front row.
The beastmaster put his hands on his chest and roared loudly, and the chaotic beasts let out an astonishing roar, and the monsters spontaneously formed a loose line as they marched, and the front row lowered its body and changed into a charging posture.
