Chapter 666: Guts

Hundreds of airships of various sizes surrounded the town, but the only landing pad in the town was a bleak place. With the exception of a few scrapped and still under repair, there were not a few landed ships on the tarmac, and even the mechanics and flag bearers were bored sitting under the canvas canopy to kill time.

The ship with reverse scales easily found a channel to land, but it stood alone on the open landing pad and looked like an anomaly. The airships had long since left the precipitation zone, and the boatmen were sweeping away the remaining water and mud on the deck, and from the lookouts of some of the airships overhead, they could still feel a series of malicious peeps casting their eyes.

Lena had opened a cabin on the airship for herself as a mobile workshop, in which the workshop and experimental equipment were all available, and as soon as the spaceship landed, the craftswoman hid in early, not knowing what she was doing; Sen Luo wiped his double knives endlessly, as if he wanted to vent all his anger at the disadvantage of this volcano on the rocks; White Night was slightly injured in the battle with the Snake Dragon, and although the injuries were temporarily suppressed after Dusty woke up, the Ironclad Hunter still needed further treatment - as the leader of the team, White Night was obligated to keep his combat strength at peak at all times.

Everyone on the ship has their own things to do, except for the dust seal that is temporarily confined to the airship. The young man's mind had not yet recovered from the dozens of ships of refugees in Burning Stone, his mind was stirred into a mess under the depression of his mind and his body, and he wanted to take the opportunity to wander around the airship, but he was stopped by the boatmen guarding the cabin, and finally had to go to the deck, leaning against the railing to review the experience and knowledge of the past few days.

The hunter's sight was blocked by the airship layer and the clouds, and he could no longer see the way he came. Between the ink-light mountains, he could barely make out the location of the main peak of the Onifury. Billowing smoke from the summit was still visible more than an hour's airship flight, and the volcanic smoke connected the mountain to the rain clouds like a bridge between heaven and man.

For such a natural disaster, the golden lion's full exhalation was just an introduction, releasing the pressure of the magma buried deep in the ground in advance, and the rest of the volcano was able to react on its own. The laws of nature are the best at spreading a small flame into a raging wildfire all over the mountains, never considering how many lives will fall for such a subtle magic trick.

"Kaede-senpai? You've come just in time, I have something to ask you for......" Hearing the creak of the hatch and the sound of footsteps approaching, the young hunter reacted, "I said that I won't take a penny from the previous commission, but I will add a batch of hunting equipment next, can I take some from you first?" The young man's ears were slightly red, and he didn't even have the courage to reply, and said with some embarrassment: "Now that it's like this, this hunt may have to continue......

The young man's plea went unanswered, but the footsteps grew closer. The pace of the visitor was brisker than that of Kaede's, and before Feng Chen noticed something was wrong, he stood straight at the other end of the railing, and his wheat-colored arms rested on the wet wooden railing.

"Ah...... Summer? Feng Chen scratched his head, glanced at the weapon behind the girl's back, and said with some uncertainty. The appearance of the two sisters is too similar, and the hunting uniform is almost the same, and until now, the dragon whisperer will often confuse which is the sister. Feng Chen privately slandered, if it weren't for the difference in weapons, even Feng himself might not be able to distinguish them: "It turned out to be you...... What about Kaede seniors? ”

Seeing that the girl didn't pay attention to what she meant, Feng Chen laughed self-deprecatingly and said no more. Ten dumb and nine deaf, the twins' hearing may also have some obstacles, and Feng's predecessors can communicate with them, most of them rely on years of tacit understanding, and the secret gestures between the three.

"He's restingβ€”" Feng Chen had just dispelled this thought, but a somewhat dry female voice sounded in his ears.

"Wow......" The young hunter's shoulders shrunk and he turned his head in some surprise to find the source of the sound.

The girl's eyes looked at the airship colony hovering in the air, and felt Feng Chen's gaze, before she turned her head in the same way, and said softly: "I heard your words, I will remember to convey it to him." ”

The voice really came out of Ah Xia's mouth, and the dust was finally seen clearly. The young hunter leaned back like a ghost: "Uh...... For such a thing, it is more appropriate for me to speak to my seniors in person. ”

"Yes, too." Ah Xia nodded, but found that Feng Chen's eyes were still looking at him as if he was watching a rare beast, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with Asha? ”

"Just a little surprised, I thought you two sisters couldn't speak." Realizing his gaffe, the young hunter turned his face to the side, "I have rushed all the way from the foot of the snowy mountain to this kind of ghost place, and I have never heard you and Ah Dong talk once. ”

"It's just not necessary." As she spoke, Axia's face remained cold and tense. Suppressing emotions behind a dry voice and expressionless face is a habit of Shadowhunters. She was originally a young girl about the same age as Feng Chen, but these survival skills have become an indelible part of Ah Xia's life: "He told us that if it is not necessary, Ah Xia and Ah Dong try not to talk in front of outsiders, he will say it for us." ”

Frankly speaking, this pair of sisters are all slim, and the young beauty has not yet had time to be worn out by the cruel life of the underground world. Two young girls walk in the underground world, no matter what they say, they will attract extra attention, and they must have suffered some losses to come up with this way to keep a low profile.

"So, you were adopted by him, right?" Feng Chen changed his posture, tilted his head to the sky, and said with his back against the railing.

"Since Asha was very young, our sisters have followed him around the mainland." "I can't even remember what natural disaster destroyed my hometown, but I know that we have lived with him for as long as I can remember." ”

"In the underground world, it is always a happy thing to have someone to rely on." Feng Chen sighed, and subconsciously touched his shoulder with one hand. The air was filled with water vapor, and the small red scar seemed to be faintly painful: "Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years...... Kaede-senpai doesn't look like someone who can do this. I thought he would be more ......."

Feng Chen struggled to find an adjective in his mind, and his voice dragged on for a long time, but Ah Xia preemptively said: "It's more like a pure 'Shadow Hunter', right?" ”

Reason, profit-oriented, calculating, cruel and bottomless, these skills are more important than strength in the world of Shadow Hunters. In past commissions and battles, Kaede can be said to have vividly illustrated the way Shadowhunters think and behave, so it's no wonder that Dust Sealing has such thoughts.

"You don't know him." The girl shrugged, "He became like this, all for Ah Dong and Ah Xia. He had been raising us alone until we were able to help in the hunt. It is not too easy for a lone Shadowhunter to feed his two children, and sometimes he has to think of some risky ways to do something against his will. ”

Feng Dust was stunned, the Dragon Whisperer was able to survive as a Shadow Hunter until now, in fact, thanks to the secret help of the Black Star Twins who were far away in Golden Feather City. Even if he has lost a considerable part of his worries, Feng Chen has almost crossed a certain line many times, not to mention Kaede who is alone. Stepping into the circle of poachers, young hunters discover that many Shadow Hunters are not born with criminal blood, and they are just like most ordinary people, trying to find a glimmer of life in this cruel hunter world.

"Thank you." The atmosphere on the deck was silent for a long time, and Ah Xia suddenly raised his head, looked into Feng Chen's eyes and said.

"This time I should thank you, without the help of Senior Feng, I'm afraid I would have watched thousands of civilians in Burning Rock Town die at the bottom of the sand." Feng Chen smiled, "What do you want to thank again?" ”

"He's happy." As soon as he said this, a smile also appeared on the corner of Ah Xia's mouth, "Ah Xia can see it." It's been a long time since hunting has excited him so much. ”

"Adventures, fighting with the strong, heroic deeds or something, he used to like this kind of thing." The girl fiddled with her bangs that had been blown away by the wind and explained eloquently. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved us sisters from the ruins of the village."

The three people who depend on each other can't afford to be injured or fail to commission, and the more they are concerned, the more they become constrained when fighting: "We don't have a large hunting group to rely on, and every commission is a gamble for us." In a gambling game where life is the cost, capital preservation is obviously much more important than profit, right? ”

Feng Chen didn't know how to respond to the girl's gaze, his willfulness put the three of them in danger several times along with him, and if it weren't for luck, the three Shadow Hunters might die in any link. And after listening to Ah Xia's words, Senior Feng seemed to be quite willing to do this, and he could only pretend to look around the landing pad: "That seems to be the rhino senior, the senior has returned from the town." ”

…………

"Just renting airships and selling fuel, the owners of the landing pads have made a lot of money, and they have no intention of earning this meager docking fee." The Silverarmor Hunter grinned strangely as he threw two gold coins onto the table, which rolled around the table a few times before slamming them under the Burning Stone Lampholder.

"You've only spent a few thousand gold coins in the blink of an eye, and now you're happy to save two?" Sen Luo stared at the rhino. The latter hurriedly took the gold coins back into his hands.

Before it got dark, the Silverarmor Hunter finally made his way back from town. The volcano has been destroyed by the mudslide, and the previous volcano commission is useless, and the Scales team needs to undo all the remaining commissions as soon as possible. Moreover, as the last team to leave the disaster area, the intelligence of the Reverse Scale has been seriously disjointed, and they are desperate to know what the reputation of the group of airships hovering over the town is.

"Two gold coins, and one more piece of news." Rhino glanced around at his companions, rubbed the gold coin on his hunting suit, and carefully put it in his waist bag.

"Don't sell it." Kaede yawned heavily, the old hunter was physically and mentally exhausted by the high-intensity running and fighting all the way, and he had just made up for sleep in the command cabin, but he still couldn't fully recover his spirits.

"We guessed right, as soon as night falls, this group of airships will cross the border." The Silverarmor Hunter lowered his voice, "The source of the information is not reliable, but I think their targets are the two monsters we have seen. ”

"All these people want to find the Kirin and the Golden Lion?" White Night straightened up.

"It's not that 'they all want to find it,' but that they've already found traces." Rhino tapped his thick fingers on the table, "Just after the mudslide erupted, someone saw a thunderbolt pass over several peaks between the ghosts and rage, heading in the direction of Ryan Yeru. ”

"We were the last to escape from the main peak, why didn't we find any tracks?" Feng Chen asked in disbelief, "It can't be fake, right?" ”

"This time it's an underground union guarantee, what do you say?" The Silver Armor Hunter raised his eyebrows, "Even if the information is only a few words, the authenticity must be beyond doubt. Although there is no empirical evidence, I even think that even this commission was issued by the underground union itself. ”
