"Boom!"? 8???．? The U8XS'COM boy's waist was arched into a shrimp shape, and he spasmed slightly on the stone floor, revealing a large torn back placket, as if he had been dragged all the way for a long time.

Ignoring the still sobbing boy, the short, stout man gently patted his dusty robe and walked to the other end of the hall on his own. Only a fire cup burned at the end of the gloomy hall, and the man Shi Shiran pulled out a flag folded into the size of a handkerchief from the sleeve of his robe, shook it open, and lit it on the flame.

There was a burst of fire in the hall, and the flags emitted a scorching smell peculiar to cloth, and the man prayed in obscure words in the midst of this scorching stench. It wasn't until the last embers fell into the brazier and the flames were quiet again that he reopened his eyes and looked into some dark corner of the hall.

"This man is in the blood of the Scarlet royal family." A faint male voice in the shadows asked, "You're going to get in trouble." ”

"This is a branch of the Hunters' Guild." The stout man replied in the same tone, "You're the one who gets into trouble." ”

"Huh...... Hunter Guild? As if he had heard some joke, the uninvited guest stepped out of the corner, his hunter foot on the stone tiles and made a "pop, click" sound, "Haven't you made it look like a poacher's lair?" What is it? Altar? ”

The man's hunting outfit resembles that of a prince not far away, painted in pure crimson on all parts, but with a more straight style, 8 ??. The chest of the U?8?X?S?'C?OM Hunter unsurprisingly wears the royal coat of arms that symbolizes the royal hunting regiment.

"If you're here to apologize, you should show more sincerity." The short man said coldly.

"I'm here to take His Highness back." Wang Li Hunter did not let go.

"Huh?" The man's shoulders shook, "We only gave Wang Li's hunting group a commission, and you made it like this." And now they come to my territory, and they want to bring back that little devil who has done something bad, as if nothing had happened? ”

"We didn't expect the Black Star Twins to be so decisive," the Scarlet Hunter defended, "and those were two madmen!" No one can predict their behavior! ”

"That's not a reason for you to give the commission to an imp!" The stout man stood on tiptoe and looked straight into the eyes of the hunter.

The two looked at each other like this, and it took a long time before they looked at each other. The stout man lowered his voice and said slowly: "We are willing to cooperate with Wang Li's hunting group, but next time, I hope you can hand over the work to the really reliable guys, I don't want to risk being discovered by the entire hunter guild and send a team to retrieve the remains of the mountain dragon on my own." ”

"We will." Wang Li Hunter nodded, walked straight to the half-conscious prince, crouched down and raised one of his arms, 8 ??. Ｕ?８?Ｘ?Ｓ?`Ｃ?ＯＭ

"Wait!" The short man stopped, "You can't just take him and put him in the prison of the Knights. This little ghost needs to suffer some hardships inside, and you and I have to give an account to everyone. ”

The scarlet hunter stopped, as if hesitating, but finally nodded slightly: "So be it." ”

"Wait until the imp wakes up and tells him that even if there is no stopping from Amphynis, there is no chance that a childish plan like that will succeed." Although the stout man was admonishing the young man, his eyes looked at the face of the hunter Wang Li, "Humanity has tasted freedom for too long, and it is impossible for him to be willing to return to his cage, even if it is the only way to save his life." One or two technologies alone will never bring humanity back to the primeval glory of the primeval era, otherwise people would have done so long ago. ”

"I still don't get it." The moment before pushing the door to leave, Wang Li Hunter turned around and asked, "You have so many technologies in your hands that are enough to change the face of the hunter world, why do you still do such a thing that is close and far?" ”

"Human beings are insatiable, and we are such selfish and arrogant creatures." Without thinking, the stout man replied, "As you can see, that recipe is only the most insignificant piece of technology in our reserves, and it can easily turn into a disaster if it falls into the wrong hands. If we suddenly get so many treasures from the primeval world, what we can do is not revival, but total self-destruction. ”

…………

At night, the sea of sand is more chaotic than usual.

The low-level monsters didn't know what was happening in the hunting ground, but they felt that this desert was subtly different from a few days ago. Those with a slightly higher level of intelligence can clearly feel that some of the restraints hanging over their heads have disappeared, and they no longer need to worry about the constraints of some powerful individual who cannot be spoken.

The struggle for territory, people, water, and food has become more brazen than ever. The beasts showed their claws one after another, showing their strength and domineering in every inch of sand and every sky. Although the Hunters' Guild has urgently mobilized hundreds of hunters, and more hunters are coming in from other cities, there are not as many disputes that can be stopped as recently.

After all, the Guild's supply capacity is limited, and there must be an upper limit to the number of hunters it can send. In the face of the vast hunting grounds that have become a mess, Lockrac can only survive as many rare monsters and ecologically critical monsters as possible on the premise of ensuring that there is no large-scale beast tide attacking the town. It is foreseeable that in the future, the ecological activity of the entire sand sea will be weakened, and all hunters can do is to maintain a certain bottom line so that it does not collapse.

In such a chaotic hunting ground, there was a strange dead air on the sand under the moonlight. It was a few hundred kilometers from the depths of the sand sea at Locklac, and it was already on the edge of the dangerous terrain marked on the map. There was not a sound on the sand that stretched for several kilometers, not even mosquitoes and crows. From time to time, high-level wyverns of selected territories passed by in the night sky, but when they passed by, they also tacitly chose to go around into the distance.

Bai Bei jumped down from the airship, pulled out the sword in his hand and ran towards the sand valley in front of him. In the hunter's view, the situation in the valley was gradually becoming clearer, a cyan stone mound half-buried in the sand, reflecting a faint light under the moon.

The mound was half-buried in the sand, and the exposed top of the mound was much larger than a dragon ship. The white-clothed hunter approached the bottom of the stone and stretched out a hand to stroke the craggy bluestone. The boulder was cold and hard to the touch, and the hunter was overjoyed, and raised his sword to slash at the boulder without thinking.

"Bang! Bang! "The stone chips were scattered, but the hunter's weapon was still superior, and after nearly ten minutes of chopping, an irregular depression was carved out of the outer stone shell, and the gray-white leather inside was gradually revealed. Ignoring the gravel all over his body, the white-clothed hunter climbed into the depression and pressed one hand on the hide. The skin of the giant beast exuded a melting warmth, and the nerves under the skin sensed contact with foreign objects, and they began to tremble spontaneously.

"Is there still such activity after Long Yu is broken and his heart stops?" Bai Bei's face behind the mask showed a look of astonishment, "The vitality of the ancient dragon species is really terrifying. ”

The hunter crawled out from under the sleeping dragon, shook off the gravel from his body, and pulled a dark flare from his waist. A faint black light shot into the sky, and dozens of seconds later, the same response came from the airship behind itself.

"It's just a pity that it's a complete dragon jade." The white-clothed hunter shook his head and sighed, "However, this can be considered a successful recovery." ”
