Unlike the volcanic tops, which are perennially hot, the foothills at night are unusually cold. U?8???．? U?8?X?S?'C?OM involuntarily wrapped his trench coat tightly around the outside despite wearing a leather hunting suit. The Shadowhunters are located on a landing pad north of Burning Stone, a square platform with four boarding and landing positions, which can only accommodate small airships taking off and landing, apparently improvised. The materials unloaded from here are all transported to the decomposition area next to the landing pad, and more than a dozen craftsmen are dismantling the usable materials on the monsters handed over by the previous boat. With the call of the workers, the skins and skeletons of the animals were completely disassembled, and the various internal organs were carefully immersed in the embalming equipment. Pieces of useless dead meat are transported out of the work area, piled up like garbage, attracting swarms of mosquitoes and flies, and the smell of blood and rancid smell from the sky.

The Hunter Sisters covered their noses and waited impatiently. The makeshift team has been waiting for more than half an hour, and judging by the current situation, it seems that it will have to wait a little longer. Dismantling beast carcasses is a delicate job, and if you are not careful, you can damage important materials. No matter how skilled the team of dismantling craftsmen is, it will take dozens of minutes to disassemble a monster tens of meters long on the premise of ensuring the integrity of the material, not to mention that this is not their first corpse.

For a short time, looking at the more and more materials in the stacking area, the temporary team was first amazed, then heartbroken, until now their faces were full of numbness. Feng Chen stood under the airship he was riding, and even thought with evil humor that if these sweaty craftsmen knew for a moment that the results of their work day and night could only be reduced to the point of falling into the magma pool and destroying it, would they still be able to maintain their current meticulousness.

"Is it really okay for us to do that?" When it came to the end, the young hunter was still a little undecided, "I was specifically warned that it was better not to deal with those guys. ”

"What does it matter to test the other party's reaction, there are many Shadowhunters who are flexible, I'm afraid we are not the first." Kaede leaned back on the gangway and looked up at the stars looming in the sky, "Why don't you tell me where your information came from?" ”

Feng Chen shared the information of the "reverse scale" with the temporary team, originally to dispel the idea of Feng getting involved in this troubled water. It's just that the only thing poachers and union hunters have in common is that they have never lacked adventure, and even more so Shadowhunters. Hearing that such a powerful team appeared in the volcano, Kaede not only did not retreat, but became even more interested. U8???．? Ｕ?８ＸＳ`ＣＯＭ

"Anyway, you just need to know that the information is reliable." "But is it possible that you suspect that they are the employers hiding behind this commission?" ”

"What, you're suspicious of Reverse Scale's financial strength?" The old hunter glanced at him, as if he had heard some joke, "Whether they are the strongest lone squad among the Shadow Hunters still needs to be investigated, but if there is anyone in the hunter group entrenched in the volcanic zone who can support such a huge financial expenditure, it must be them." ”

"Reverse Scale" is a famous hunting team of rare beasts in the underground world, rare subspecies of powerful monsters, rare species and solitary species, and new creatures that have only appeared since the Big Bang, all of which are on their hunting lists. The important thing is that the success rate of these guys' hunting is quite high, and there is no shortage of various collector elites and business tycoons in the hunter world, and the light and dark forces that cooperate with them are even more than the average large hunting group.

Small, elite teams are best suited to handle all kinds of tricky and difficult assignments, and even some large hunters will choose to turn to them when they are given difficult tasks. Lose a little money to save your reputation in the underworld.

"Thinking about their savings so far, it makes sense that they can come up with such a sum of money." Kaede said, but jealousy began to rise, "But even for Reverse Scale, this is a big gamble. ”

"Here we are." Following Ah Xia's gesture, Feng Chen saw a gray spot in the sky from afar. The spots grew larger, and the roar of the propellers grew deeper and harsh. The huge box-shaped battleship turned its posture in the air, aimed at a ride and drop position in front of the dust sealing oblique, and slowly lowered to a halt. The main paddle lifted a piece of sand and gravel on the ground, and the flare next to the landing pad swayed, and the roar slowly subsided.

The size of the incoming ship seems to be a little larger than that of a regular small airship, and the flanks of the air tank are almost next to the next stand. The proportions of the cabins are also slightly larger, either thickening the trays or increasing the storage compartments.

"An empty ship, no flags and no logos, that's what it's talking about." The old hunter pulled through the dust, straightened his clothes, and strode forward.

"Hey! Wait, what are you going to say after that? ”

"I'm not going to say anything, it's you who should be talking." Kaede corrected. Feng Chen only felt that he was being pushed forward unreasonably by a pair of big hands, and walked towards the airship that had just landed.

"Why me?" The young man stood still on his feet, refusing to take another step forward, "This is not what we are working with!" ”

"Don't forget, your portion of the commission is still in my hands?? ? ? U 8 Small says? 8XS'COM" Kaede looked at him with a fixed expression, "Besides, you're so young, it's like the kind of person who is more easily deceived is the same rhetoric that was discussed in the hotel." Don't make eye contact, don't say anything stupid, just be smart. ”

The airship lowered the gangway, and it was a little later before a figure came out of the corridor. A small-eyed man in a silk suit had already arrived in the work area, and the little eyes had been busy on the take-off and landing pads, and it seemed that he was the main thing here, and he also informed the four of them to wait here. The steward in front of him completely concealed his unbridled attitude towards the workers, and looked at the man and woman walking down from the airship with a flattering expression.

"You two, did you have a smooth journey?" The little eyes wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and greeted the man.

"It's okay," Bai Ye nodded slightly, "What about the materials of the past two days?" ”

"It's all over there." The steward stretched out his hand and pointed, and in the firelight, he could see the skeleton of all kinds of monsters with good codes, "It's been less than three days since the commission started, and there are not many materials received, and the quality is uneven, the large hunting group should still be on the way, and it will be busy here in two days, so I will beckon them to load the ship." ”

"Don't be busy, how much did the gold cost?" Behind Captain Reverse Scale, the gangway quietly retracted itself.

"In the early fifties." When it comes to expenses, Little Eye becomes more cautious, and he doesn't forget to flaunt himself when he reports, "I've tried my best to bargain, otherwise I'll have to spend more than 20%." ”

"Money is not a problem," Bai Ye seemed indifferent to this, he looked around, and pointed to the tattered airship diagonally with a suspicious expression, "Brother Cha, who are these people?" If you don't unload and leave quickly, why are you still parked here? ”

"They? It's here to deliver the commission. The man surnamed Cha followed two steps, "The work area is still occupied, I told them to wait for a while, and then vacate the space to unload and inspect the goods." ”

"Huh? Isn't the boarding and landing area unloaded next to it the same? Lena tilted her head, "Anyway, it's a seat." ”

"Speaking of which, they left it on their own initiative." The steward's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "We can't tell how many people to take care of the materials, these guys are really good people......"

Bai Ye looked carefully at the opposite airship, only to see two figures walking towards him, and snorted softly, "They are here to find me." ”

It wasn't until the other party walked into the scope of the landing pad lighting that Feng Chen swallowed his saliva at the other party's hunting suit in disbelief. The captain-like guy's hunting suit is iron-black, but it has a texture that only monster scales have, and the texture and firelight actually faintly echo each other, flowing out a strange luster. The woman behind him was dressed in purple and pink light armor, dazzling in the firelight like a burning cherry blossom. Even with the accumulation of knowledge during the Swamp period and the experience of traveling to the continent after defecting, the young man did not judge for a while what kind of monster these two hunting costumes came from. The only thing that sealed the dust was that they were extraordinary, and they were very compatible with the equipment owner, and they were clearly the customized works of high-level craftsmen.

Although the rarity and strength in the hunter world are not directly proportional, the intelligence gathering, hunting ground research, lurking and waiting required to hunt a rare species are definitely far beyond the regular species, and the difficulty of the battle is not worth mentioning compared to these efforts.

"I've only heard of the name of the Reverse Scale, but now it seems that this is their name." Kaede whispered in the young man's ear, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. ”

Seeing that the other party was also walking towards him, Feng Chenxin said the blessing of the hunter, silently lowered the brim of the hood, and felt the shadow of the white night pressing on his head, and the hunter mustered up the courage to speak: "This ......"

"Solo team?" Captain Scale's eyes fell on the airship behind Feng Chen's group, and unsurprisingly saw the logo of the local hired airship team, "What did you hunt?" ”

"Hammer Blaster Dragon ......" Xu was oppressed by the power in Bai Ye's language, and Feng Chen replied smoothly.

"Listen, little one." Listening to Feng Chen's slightly young voice, the captain said perfunctorily, "The quotation on the commission is already our bottom line, no matter what kind of price Brother Cha gives you, I will not raise it by half a point." If you want to sell it, unload the material, or leave, don't occupy our landing pad here. ”

"You misunderstood!" Feng Chen argued, but his heart was light, it seemed that the unsmiling captain in front of him imagined himself as a scoundrel who maliciously raised the price, "We are very satisfied with your bid, fifty percent is already a rare conscience price in the underground world, and we are also very satisfied with this shot, and we will not cause any trouble when delivering the goods." ”

Only then did Bai Ye look down at the face under the dust hood, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and waited for the young man's follow-up.

"To tell you the truth, seeing you buying materials with such fanfare, we are wondering if there will be other opportunities for cooperation." Feng Chen finally smoothed out his tongue, and he looked at the area where the materials were stacked from afar, "For example, with so many materials, you always need a place to store them." ”

"Not interested, we have our own warehouse." After Bai Ye finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"A bubbling magma pool isn't a storehouse!" Seeing that the other party was about to leave without saying a word, Feng Chen simply uncovered his hood, raised his head and said loudly.

Captain Scale's feet paused, and slowly turned back. He leaned in front of Feng Chen, studying the young hunter's face, as if to find something in the Shadow Hunter's innocent and slightly nervous expression: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't want to know what you're up to." Feng Chen coughed, "But isn't it a pity to throw these good materials into the volcano?" We provide warehouses and associated storage services, at least some of them, so that I can keep them. Until you're done, I promise not to end them up on the black market. After that, I'll make up for your deficit at the current market price, and as for how much I can earn with this batch of materials, that's my own business. ”

"You know who we are, you know what we're doing." Bai Ye didn't ask, but said firmly.

"I'm not in any trouble, I'm just cooperating." Feeling that the other party was already angry, Feng Chen hurriedly pointed to the airship when he came, "You also saw it, there are only four of us, and the airship is only hired like this." Even if you hunt desperately within the time limit of going up the mountain, how many monsters can you fight? Three-headed? Up to five heads. Even if each monster has a net profit of a few hundred gold coins, it is only a fraction of the large hunting group. No matter how good the commission is, there will always be an end to the day, and by that time, we will still be four lone hunters who have passed today and no tomorrow. ”

"This may only happen once in a lifetime, and I don't want to waste it on hunting as usual." Feng Chen raised his face with a smile in his eyes, "How is it?" ”

"It's a shame that if Rhino were here, he might still approve of your nonsense." Captain Reverse Scale said with great interest, giving the young man in front of him such a long time has been beyond his expectations, "If you want to do business, there is no shortage of opportunities in this world." ”
