"You bought an airship?" Xiao Yang's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he repeated his question again as if in a dream, "You bought an airship?" ”

"This kid is right, not only the ship, but now the shipwrights and mechanics on the ship, including a few of us, were hired by him." The observer in the distance approached with a smile, raised his hand and lifted the windshield on his fur hat, but it turned out to be the captain of the sand scorpion team during the hunting festival, "We have already called him the 'captain' all the way, and we can't say that we will continue to call him before the end of this commission." The young man jokingly pretended to sigh and teased, "They are all students in the training camp, and the treatment after graduation is really different." ”

"Like ink...... I told everyone a long time ago not to call me that anymore. Lu Xiu said with a shy face. Although all the people present were companions, receiving so much attention at once still made the dragon man feel a little uncomfortable: "When I set off, I obviously said that it was okay, but I was just a companion." What's more, I just contributed some money, and the affairs of the airship along the way are all the sand scorpions. ”

"We don't dare let you meddle in the management of the ship." The pilot couldn't help but laugh, and the sorrow between his eyebrows also subsided, "As long as you don't mess with the valve on the ship again, I will burn high incense for the sand scorpion." ”

Before leaving, Xiaolongren saw that the valve of the air tank near the bow of the ship was not tightened, so he climbed up to the maintenance table and locked the valve in good faith. Fortunately, the boatman of the sand scorpion was nearby, so an accident was avoided in time.

The ajar air valve is meant to provide a way for the gas to heat up and expand after takeoff, and if it is closed, the air chamber will burst before it rises above the clouds. The little dragon man was also reprimanded by everyone on the ship for this. There is no trivial matter on the airship, making jokes is still secondary, and it is not so easy in case of an accident. Knowing that his forte was not here, Lu Xiu wisely kept quiet about the various affairs of the ship, and completely handed over the management to Sand Scorpion's companions, acting like an ordinary passenger along the way.

Jokes aside, everyone in the Sand Scorpion Squad chuckled twice, and their faces returned to seriousness. The young pilot took off the standard leather hat for the airship, revealing his short hair close to his scalp: "Sha Minghai, the pilot of the party is me, I don't know if you of the Little Hunting Group still recognize it." After all, it's over......" he muttered, the last time the young people met was in the Thundering Sand Sea, but even he didn't know whether the reunion in that situation counted or not, so he could only scratch his head and mutter, "Anyway, it's been a long time." ”

"How could you not remember?" He was greeted by a strong bear hug from Xiong Fuji. Strictly speaking, the two hunters had only briefly come into contact on the airship that went to the challenge festival, and the pilot in front of him had changed too much from his original appearance, but the spearman still vaguely remembered that the other party was a hearty guy, and it was rare to match his temper.

"Sand is like ink." The observer nodded slightly, and briefly reported his name. The promotion rules for special types of work are different from those of ordinary hunters, and the current sand scorpion team has not been formally established after graduation, and the team is still using the name of the training camp, and the name of the captain is naturally not suitable for introduction to outsiders.

"We've been trying to get news of the Scorpions since we got back from Loclac, but it seems that the union is trying to hide information from us, and we didn't hear anything about it in the union hall until long after your treatment was over." Jia Xiao said ashamedly, "After that, the little hunting group wanted to visit several times, but they couldn't find a way to contact you. ”

"The clinic we treat is special, and it's normal that no information can be transmitted. Even after we were discharged from the hospital, we were half-forced to sign a thick stack of papers, and we were not allowed to talk about it outside. Sha Minghai explained.

Everyone in the small hunting group nodded clearly, about a series of events in the thundering sand sea and sealing the dust, everyone in the small hunting group also signed a similar contract, and until now they still have to accept return visits from the union from time to time, and almost all of them are deacon-level bigwigs.

"As for after being discharged from the hospital...... Sha Rumo smiled bitterly and tore a gap between the neck of the hunting suit, "You can see for yourself." ”

The young man exposed a patch of skin at the base of his neck and shoulder blades on the left side, and a sudden flash of light shimmered under the hunting suit. Feng Manyun thought it was an armor lining made of soft materials at first, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was actually a reflection of a fine dragon scale in the sun. There are dozens of scales on the shoulders, growing close to the flesh, and the central part is the size of a fingernail, showing a strange gray-green color, and the smaller it becomes at the edges, and the color gradually blends with the original skin tone. From a distance, it looks like someone has transplanted an unknown monster skin into a human.

"All five of us have become like this." Sha Minghai took off his gloves, and the scales on the back of the young driver's left hand extended all the way into the hunting suit, and the scale armor was red in the sun, "Those unreliable doctors said that the monster bloodline on our body has stabilized, and it will not continue to deteriorate, and it is impossible to change back to its original state, and it is said that it will be affected by the law of rank." But who knows, we hadn't been to the hunting ground in a long time before this commission - to the guys in the union hall, we were the monsters to be treated differently. ”

The little hunters were silent, although the young people had already heard the rumors that the treatment of the sand scorpion was not thorough, leaving a striking sequelae, but seeing this kind of companion with their own eyes, the hunters still felt a pain in their hearts for no reason.

Everyone was speechless, only Xiao Zuoqing stood at the back of the team, looked at Sha Minghai's flashing left hand, and sighed lowly: "Cool ......"

"I recognize those looks...... You think we're anomalous, right? Feeling that the atmosphere in the field suddenly became oppressive, the driver quickly put back on his gloves and pursed his mouth tightly.

The Xishu hunters had confirmed that even if the effects of Emon's potion were lifted afterwards, the drug taker would still be able to remember his actions clearly. This scale armor is not like a scar after a hunt, it is a manifestation of the hunter's glory. Instead, they remind their owners of the cruelty they have suffered, and how many things they have been used to do things that are contrary to honor. The hunters of the sand scorpion are the same age as the rest of the small hunting group, and for them, this is tantamount to a never-ending execution.

"No, I'm just ......," the little group leader carefully considered his words, "I'm sorry, we can't imagine what happened to the Sand Scorpion team these days, I just hope that in the sand sea, the little hunting group can do more for you." ”

"Ming Hai-" Captain Sand Scorpion called in a low voice, the situation of the team has taken a turn for the worse in the past two years, and the team members have become neurotic one by one, sometimes a simple look can ignite the anger in the hearts of the team members, "Don't care, the little hunting group has done enough in the harvest sacrifice." We were able to come back alive thanks to the two of us—" he said earnestly to Lu Xiu and Feng Manyun, "That's why, when Lu Xiu found us, the sand scorpion chose to go out of his way to help." ”

"In short, the small hunting group and the supply battalion were able to escape this time, thanks to all of you of the sand scorpions, and the water rumors are grateful here." Captain Qin straightened his face and made a hunter's salute sincerely, and the cat on his shoulder also bowed down to greet his master's movements.

"It's an honor to give a sand scorpion that hasn't hunted for a long time a chance to return to the hunting grounds." Sha Rumo looked up at the poacher airship that was still burning: "This is not the place to talk, how about it, do you want to visit the airship together?" Everyone in the sand scorpion was inside, and there was another acquaintance of a small hunting group on the ship. ”

…………

"Six naval guns, twelve machine crossbows, and the ship is equipped with restraint bullets, right?" Nie Xiaoyang walked by, knocking on the hatch of the weapon compartment one by one, "War hunting ship, Scarlet's previous model, but it is definitely an out-and-out war model...... Damn, where did you get so much money? It can't be your Uncle Mo who gave it to you again, right? ”

The small airship is equipped with all kinds of organs, heavy towers, sharp weapons, and a slight modification at the bow of the ship, it can be equipped with ramming horns, turning into a supreme weapon to kill flying species. Although each cabin seems cramped and the corridor is a little cramped, all this is no longer relevant under the premise that "the ship is Lu Xiu's".

"You don't believe it, this airship, the supply of the whole ship, and the employment fee of the sand scorpion, are all my own money."

In his two-year career in the arena, Lu Xiu got more than just training his hunting skills and an alternative opportunity to accumulate his hunter resume. The 100 consecutive victories in the mouth of the Wind Tooth Dragon a few days ago made the Dragonman famous, and he became one of the most high-profile new stars among the young generation of Golden Feather City. For Lu Xiu, who lived only two points in the deacon's mansion and the arena, the sudden arrival of honor and fame did not have any real feeling, until he opened the latest bill from the arena in a fit of boredom.

In addition to the Blue Gold Chamber of Commerce, the biggest tax payer in Golden Feather City is the Hunting Arena. The best-selling tickets can sell at an astonishing price, even if Lu Xiu, as a competitor, can only get a small share of the profits, which is a very considerable amount for an individual.

"I'm afraid not...... Can you buy half of Xuelin Village? "Too much money loses its specific meaning in front of the dragon people, and Lu Xiu at that time could only form such a vague thought with the bill in his hand. He wanted to confirm the cost of the money with Morin, but he didn't expect to hear the words of the Black Star Twins outside the door of the deacon's office, and he made a decision right away.

"Ahh If I had known this, I should have followed your example in the past two years and soaked myself in the hunting arena! Hearing the reason, Xiao Yang wailed exaggeratedly, shook his head and said with remorse. Of course, the Twin Swordsmen knew that even if he set foot in the arena, without the dragonman's anti-heaven combat power and recovery ability, he would not be able to achieve similar achievements in just two years. But in the same two years, the small hunting group received commissions everywhere, but they could only meet food and clothing, and they didn't even buy a machine crossbow, this fact can't help but make Xiaoyang hot.

"There's no need to bother, I've already written this ship in the name of the Little Hunting Group." Lu Xiu raised his hand, patted the bulkhead and said, "From now on, the airship is all of us." ”

"How does this work?" The little head was taken aback, "The money to buy the airship was ushered in by you in a desperate battle, none of us helped, and besides, you didn't use the name of the Little Hunting Group in the arena, so it stands to reason that the airship should not be classified under the name of the Hunting Group." ”

"When I heard the news that everyone might meet the ancient dragons, I just wanted to get over as soon as possible. As you know, the speed of the civil airship is too slow, and it takes time to travel by land when you get to the hunting grounds; I didn't want to take the union boat, especially Uncle Mo didn't want to find out, so I came up with such a countermeasure. Luciu shrugged, "As for the disposition of the airship...... What's the use of me asking for a boat myself? Can't watch it in the bedroom? I'm a member of the Little Hunting Troupe, so I should take it out to serve the Little Hunting Troupe, not to mention ......" The little dragon man looked at the two Sha Rumo who were leading the way in front of him in embarrassment, "I don't want to be called 'captain' by them anymore." ”

Knowing that Lu Xiu's last words were just excuses, everyone in the Little Hunting Group still smiled heartily, and when they saw the wordless gratitude in the eyes of the Little Leader, the team members immediately became excited. In the past two years, young hunters have traveled far and wide for commissions, and the airship has been ridden more than a hundred times, but none of them have been so excited as they are now. Xiong Fuji's eyes were already on fire, and even Jia Xiao couldn't help but touch the wooden siding of the bulkhead left and right along the way.

"So, Luciu, you ran out on your own?" Shentu Miaoling's focus was elsewhere, and the huntress frowned, "When you set off, didn't the union headquarters take any action?" Haven't they yet understood the condition of Ryan Yelu? ”

"Master Anfei just said that everyone may be in danger of encountering ancient dragons on the volcano, and I only rushed over after less than half a day of preparation, who knew that the situation had become like this."

The players immediately became excited.
