"The unicorn is somewhere in this hunting ground, as evidenced by the flying species that have left their nests on the Emerald Tower, and we have seen it with our own eyes." Jia Xiao said in a deep voice. The sudden restlessness of the flying species on the hunting ground was the root cause of the attack on the supply depot, and the camp did not set up an observation post in order to hide, but lost the opportunity to respond to the enemy: "How can a dying monster survive the hundreds of kilometers from the Devil's Fury Volcano to the Emerald Tower, and how can it hide its tracks?" ”

"You're the one who has been chasing it, and you should ask yourself these questions." Orson spread his hands in ignorance, and said with a straight face, "We rushed to the camp after passing through layers of monsters, and we can see clearly from the lookout all the way. The reaction of the herd was indeed that the influence of the ancient dragon species was good, but instead of scattering in a hurry, each looking for a new habitat, these flying species wandered around the periphery of the hunting ground, which was not like the attitude of welcoming the triumphant return of the king. ”

The flying species around the Emerald Tower condensed and did not disperse, which was just a sign that the Qilin was no longer able to control the low-ranking people under his command. The monsters' intentions could not be more obvious, waiting for the moment when the superior died, they could regain their lair, and even in this reshuffle, grab the higher and better position of the territory. The flying species that wander around the periphery of the hunting ground are like a flock of scavenging vultures, all wanting a piece of the feast of the fall of the strong.

The one-star hunter pointed out the porthole, and the giant tower of ruins stood far away from the hunters' field of vision, where birds and dragons could still be seen like meteors, streaking over the edge of the supply station: "The beasts are much more intuitive than we do, and if even they think so, the unicorn would have been sentenced to death." ”

"Believe it or not, no matter whether the ancient dragon species lives or dies in the end, with its current state of weakness, you will not see the celestial phenomena derived from it anytime soon. Rather than wasting time here, it is better to sign the commission report as soon as possible and leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible. Orson raised his hand, "Didn't you want to find that Sealed Dust?" If you want to find someone in the hunter world, there will always be more than one way, so why use this method of waiting for the rabbit? ”

"No, the commission that His Highness Yoda gave us is to confirm the life and death of the Kirin. Until the sightings are known, the group cannot stop observing. Head Qin shook his head and said.

"The death of the ancient dragon species in the territory of Ryan Yelu is the country's own business." Orson said with a sophisticated expression, "The Kirin has made his home in the Emerald Tower, and I don't know how much pressure it has put on the hunters and guards of the kingdom, and they may not be grateful to you for bringing back the news that the monster is still alive to the royal family." Failure and abandonment are the norm when it comes to commissions related to the ancient dragon species, and it is not your obligation to complete this commission - no, you don't care about commissions? ”

The one-star hunter only discovered at this moment that the eyes of the little hunter group were full of solemnity from the beginning, and they seemed to have a strong fear of something. Orson shifted his body back to the chair, leaning back on the hardwood, his face clouding with deep thought, and after a moment he asked, "Why don't you tell me why you must see this ancient dragon alive?" ”

There was silence in the cabin for a moment, Xiao Qing'er puffed out her cheeks and looked at the silent head of the group expectantly, and the girl who had just joined the small hunting group also wanted to know what kind of answers could be said from the mouths of the seniors. Lu Xiu twisted his body uneasily, although the one-star hunter in front of him had helped the dragon man a lot, the specially selected hunter was still not sure if he could believe him in this level of secret. If the dragonmen are like this, the other members of the Little Hunting Group have no reason to speak lightly.

"It's not my concern, anyway." Orson shook his head lightly, and then said, "As you know, this airship has landed in Kaishi Town to replenish supplies, and none of the hunters in that city have seen the disaster in Border Town not curse the Kirin to die early. I was just surprised that someone still wanted that evil star alive, even though they were all wearing the same hunter's badge. It's just that after seeing a few ancient dragons, does the little hunting group lose the glory of hunters? ”

"We don't care about the life and death of the Kirin!" Questioned his hunter glory in person, how could Xiong Fuji stand it, the spearman slapped the table, "As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of poachers, it can die wherever ......it wants."

"Fuji!" The little head of the regiment reprimanded, and the big bear also noticed his gaffe, swallowed the second half of his sentence, and sat back in his chair without saying a word.

"Innocent ......" The corners of Aosen's mouth raised slightly, and the young man couldn't help but agitate, and it was most easy to be tricked out of more information, "What is there to worry about?" The material of the unicorn is in the hands of poachers, and it is no different from poisonous garbage. ”

The dragon clan is already the limit of what the underground world can touch, and the preparation process of ancient dragon materials is similar to the core technology of large airships, which only the guild and a limited number of kingdoms have. Even if the Shadowhunter gets it by chance, if he doesn't sell it to the former at a low price, he will have to be thrown into a dangerous place and left to rot - without the corresponding sealing means, the poacher will not even be able to preserve the material for a long time, and no one will dare to stop around the fresh dragon's blood, especially the poacher who is desperate for his life.

As he spoke, the one-star hunter observed the expressions of the people in the small hunting group, but did not notice any major changes. He said to himself again: "It's still not right, with the teachings of the Black Star Twins, you won't be so stupid as this." ”

Orson has been immersed in hunting for many years, and the growth of hunting skills is still secondary, but the experience of one-star hunters participating in large-scale commissions is much richer than that of most of his peers. In the vast and dangerous hunting grounds, communication and logistics are not uncommon, and where the hunters are and what they want to do depends on the contestants themselves. It is precisely by relying on their extraordinary intelligence collection and analysis ability that one-star hunters can often accurately judge the process and situation of the commission, and they can thrive on the field.

Today's Orson has no intention of challenging the festival, but the sharpness he has cultivated for a long time has never been lost. The hunter's mind was running fast, and the small hunting group chased hundreds of kilometers to get accurate information about the Qilin, and the relationship between the defecting hunter Feng Dust and the ancient dragon species was inextricably linked, and from this back to the beginning and end of the Thundering Sand Sea incident two years ago, his face suddenly became as jealous as the young people. As if grasping something, he dreamily spat out a heart-palpitating word: "Is it ...... War—"

"Enough!" Regiment Leader Qin stood up suddenly, "Since you appeared on the airship, I thank you for your help to Lu Xiu along the way on behalf of the Little Hunting Group, but what to do next is our freedom, and we don't need an outsider to interfere." Although the huntress said that she was grateful, there was no trace of gratitude on her face, and she looked like she was rejecting.

The atmosphere in the cabin was tense again. After staring at each other for a few seconds, Qin Shui Yu opened his mouth to say something, but there was a rapid knock outside the door, and Xiao Meike's voice came vaguely: "Master? Head? The stationmaster woke up, and the stationmaster called me to tell everyone that he had something to say to the little hunting group. ”

Feng Manyun opened the latch, Melalu was standing at the door sweaty, the female head of the group looked softened, nodded and responded, "Let's go now." ”

As soon as Orson was disturbed by the uninvited guest, the meeting had to be hastily ended. The young people got up and rushed out, and Nie Xiaoyang walked behind, glaring at the one-star hunter with gloomy eyes: "For Lu Xiu's sake, it doesn't matter how long you want to stay on the boat." But don't forget, how you slandered us on the airship on the return trip of the Challenge Festival. I don't know what other people think, but you should never be forgiven from me. ”

"Don't forget, without me, you wouldn't have formed such a hunting group. In a sense, the small hunting group can have today, and I have a share of credit. Orson said playfully.

"Everything about the Little Hunting Group has nothing to do with you!" The Twin Knife Hunter blushed and pointed his index finger to Orson's nose, "I warn you, don't spy on our intelligence again, and don't even think about pointing fingers at us!" ”

Seeing Nie Xiaoyang leave with a snort, Lu Xiu threw an apologetic look at Ao Sen. The one-star hunter shrugged: "See, that's one of the reasons why I don't want to come." Your people won't welcome me, and neither will you, and if you weren't cornered, you wouldn't have thought of me...... Go and keep up with your companions, and don't pretend to care about me. ”

Xiaolongren blushed, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to say in vain: "You still ...... Take a break on the boat. With that, he sighed, turned and stepped out of the hatch.

In the cabin, Orson maintained a sitting posture for a long time, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, looking up at the horizontal and vertical wood grain of the cabin roof.

"Looks like I'm right......" The One-Star Hunter muttered, a look of surprise on his face. Due to the lack of information, Orson didn't know the inside story related to the Human Dragon Treaty, but just guessing that it was related to the war was enough to make the one-star hunter palpitate for a while, he let out a long breath and suppressed the boredom in his chest, "What kind of magic does this little hunting group have, Anfinis would easily tell this kind of secret information to a group of children?" ”

…………

The little hunter waited for a long time in the tent that leaked light everywhere before the curtain was lifted. The withered horses who returned to the camp were sluggish, staggering, wearing only a cloak on their upper bodies, and their naked bodies were covered with bandages, looking very miserable. Sensing everyone's gaze, Dry Horse nodded lightly, sat back on the side of his bed, and snorted softly in pain.

Long after the camp was over, the old hunter was still unconscious, all his injuries left behind by the poachers' torture. Qing'er stood in the corner of the tent, stealthily glancing away. In the hunter world, it's one thing to see a monster injured, it's another to see your own kind being treated like this.

"Webmaster, you ...... Okay? Without waiting for the dry horse to sit down, Xiong Fuji asked. The pikeman grinned, a chill bubbling between his teeth.

"It doesn't matter, it's all skin injuries, and Ryan Yelu's military life is very hard." The withered horse's beard trembled, and he pretended to be relaxed. Under the urging of the medicinal power, the middle qi of the old hunter's words was much more stable than when he had just woken up, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered. The supply station is gradually getting on the right track, and it is the best reply for him as the stationmaster: "Don't those poachers want to be refueled?" I'm ready to bite my tongue, poke my eyes, and die with them in this hunting ground. Now, it seems, this is far from the worst possible outcome - sorry, but you're not here to say that. The old man should have gone to the airship to thank you in person, but now the camp is busy, and only now has he had some respite. The dry horse tried to sit up straight, but was forced to stop under the bandage.

"The glory of the hunter is on top," Jia Xiao hurriedly supported the swaying senior, "Everyone is a hunter, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

"Not every hunter of your age would dare to rush into battle when the enemy is outnumbered." The old hunter looked at the crowd with admiration. When he first came to the supply station, under the influence of Wang Qi, Dry Horse thought that the group of people in the small hunting group was just ordinary nobles with experience, but who knew that they would later become the existence that the supply station finally relied on after all the members disarmed.

The stationmaster looked at Lu Xiu on the side of the team: "Speaking of which, you were the one who drove the airship, right?" I've heard Miike say that the captain is also a young man. ”

The dragon man shyly reported his name, and said embarrassedly: "I'm just a half-hung captain, and I can't interfere in the airship battle at all, all thanks to my companions on the ship." ”

"What happened here will appear on the power of attorney for posthumous recognition in the future. Every hunter and worker in this camp, including me, will accept a favor from you and a favor from the small hunting group. "But now, you should have something more interesting than Ryan Yeru's gratitude—the camp has been able to catch so many poachers in one go, and you have played a part in it, and the information that comes out of their mouths should be shared with you." ”

"Did that Redbeard say anything?" The little head looked grim.

Dryhorse shook his head in disgust, Redbeard was the highest-ranking of the living poachers, but he didn't get any useful information from him.

"Poachers are really stubborn and hard...... "Xiong Fuji scolded in a low voice.

"No, before that guy was tied up, it was like he was stupid by something, his eyes were erratic, and his mouth was stumbling for a long time, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence." The old stationmaster said with a strange expression.

Several pairs of eyes of the little hunting group looked at Lu Xiu in unison, and the dragonman was hotly faced: "The head of the group told me that he is the leader of the ground team. I tried to knock him out, but the guy was too strong and woke up too quickly, and I had no choice but to use something else. ”

"When did your red pupils become so strong?" Jia Xiao asked softly in the dragonman's ear.

"I don't know, maybe poachers are afraid of more things than the average person." The Chosen Hunter replied innocently.

"Anyway," Dryhorse coughed, "we backed away and let some of Redbeard's men speak. The so-called Bloodfangs poaching group had been smuggled in from a rarely visited route at the southern tip of the kingdom, and they were accompanied by fifteen airships from different hunting groups. So far, there has been no news of other supply depots in the camp. I don't know how they solved the fuel problem," he paused, "but according to a few poachers, all the poaching ships are already in the depths of the ruins at this moment, except for the Blood Fangs. ”
