Chapter 775
The village's earliest impression of carnivorous beasts was about a year ago, when the appearance of the snow wolf made the villagers tremble for a long time. After being hunted year by year, some other kinds of small tooth beasts have been recruited around the mountain village. These beasts are not very intelligent and powerful, and although they can barely cope with some simple traps, they still cause a lot of trouble for the village.
Non-rank beasts are also under the jurisdiction of hunters, but as is customary, these are left to the apprentices. North of the snow-capped mountains, there is not even a permanent hunter stronghold, let alone an organized training camp. Coupled with the abundance of predatory beasts, the abundance of prey in this area has led to a three-percent increase in the harvest of the previous year's hunting in Xuelin Village. A considerable number of villagers thought that this was a "gift from the hunting god", and they were reluctant to invite the forces of the union to come forward to clean up, and blindly relied on themselves to deal with the beasts.
"Oh, if those villages south of the snow-capped mountains can learn to be self-reliant like this, the job of hunters on the mainland will be at least twice as easy." Xiao Yang whistled.
"That's not the point!" The head glared at him, and then asked the little scholar, "So, the ecology in this area is not what it used to be, right?" ”
"It's just not clear if the conditions have been reached enough for lord-level monsters to settle." Lu Yingying bit the pen lightly.
"That's already over that!" A voice came from outside the door, and Feng Chen opened the door of the room in a hurry, "I'm sorry...... I've been delayed on the road, I'm not too late, am I? ”
"Still in the meeting," Luciu casually tossed him a copy of the intelligence journal and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Before I arrived, I made a detour to the village and confirmed something. You can't imagine what I saw in the pine forest......" The dragon whisperer found a place at the square table, picked up the tea left by the village chief on the table, drank it all, and only gasped for a few seconds before he said, "Guess how many elven deer I saw in the dragon cavity alone?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Feng Chen scratched his chin in disdain. The young man came back in a hurry, how could he count the specific number, he only remembered that in the dragon's vision, the flames symbolizing life were interspersed in patches, burning all over the mountains and fields, which made him himself startled. The blue pine forest, which has been nurtured for generations, has now become a natural pasture for domesticating wild meat. A prey that had to be dug out to hunt in the dust of his youth, is almost readily available in today's dense forests.
Having grown up in the Blue Pine Forest, the Dragonwhisperer is all too familiar with the number of creatures here. The Great Snow Mountain has its own order, and even in the most generous years of the Hunter God, the number of beasts in the forest does not exceed a certain number: "Now there are three times as many beasts as in previous years, and maybe more—and that's just the area that the dragon's cavity can cover." ”
"There are no natural predators, the climate is quite suitable, and there are prey all over the ground to take and demand, if I were a lord, this would be equivalent to a top-level mansion." Feng Chen sighed.
"Hell, how can this kind of place be richer than the shelter forest in Golden Feather City?" Xiong Fuji asked subconsciously.
"Uh...... Well, at least the equivalent of a mansion in general. The dragon whisperer smiled awkwardly, "But you should know what I mean." ”
"Sooner or later, Snowforest Village will need a permanent team of hunters...... Is it? Jia Xiaoyu said with regret.
The sudden abundance of products in the hunting grounds was a natural attraction for the lords. Once the blue pine forest becomes a hunting ground recognized by predators, there will be a steady stream of monsters choosing to settle here. For Snow Forest Village and other villages north of the Snow Mountain, this represents the beginning of the nightmare. At that time, this paradise will be like any small settlement on the mainland, subject to endless monster harassment, territorial battles, and even beast tides. For the foreseeable future, the village will never be at peace.
The more north of the snow-capped mountains are set foot by monsters, the longer this continent can retain a pure land that is free from monster attacks. In today's world, when war is approaching and monsters are becoming more and more dangerous, such actions are more symbolic. This commission was originally prepared for everyone in the Little Hunting Group to explore the details of Morin, but it unconsciously had a deeper meaning beyond that. Thinking of this, the faces of all the hunters in the field became serious.
"We won't let those things happen," Qin Shuiyu clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the team members in front of him, "At least not now." If there are really new migrating monsters in this area, we will find them and lure them elsewhere, preferably back south of the snowy mountains. ”
The little leader's fingertips swiped across the map unfolded on the table, and he nodded somewhere: "Today's investigation starts here, and after landing, we will divide into two groups and explore in three ways with the hunting ship." In the days leading up to the instructors arrive, cover as many areas as you can. ”
"I can go it alone." Feng Chen proposed, "The dragon cavity has a range of several kilometers, and the efficiency will be higher. ”
"Nope." The little head shook his head, "The investigation will last for a long time, no matter how strong your ability is, you can't maintain it forever, right?" I need you to keep up with the unexpected events, and we need two guides—" The girl glanced at Feng Manyun. The white-clad hunter has admitted that he does not know much about the topography of the blue pine forest. Before leaving his hometown, he was one of the few children in the village who had never set foot in the jungle.
"I can use the dragon's voice to show the way from a distance—" the dragon whisperer explained, "and I tried to communicate with thousands of people at the same time for more than twenty minutes while I was still in the midst of a ghostly rage. Now that we have all of us, I believe that even if we maintain the dragon cavity for a long time, it will not be a burden. ”
"What if you meet Morin, or the Eyes of Death, on the way?" Qin Shuiyu asked rhetorically, "Or is it the mysterious danger you perceived on the airship?" Like last time, are you going to deal with it alone? ”
"I ......"
"Seal the dust," seeing the Shadow Hunter's stammering appearance, Jia Xiao patted his companion's back and persuaded him with kind words, "When you are in the underground world, only you can take care of yourself. Now that you're back in the Little Hunting Group, there's no need for you to go it alone. We're still in the team, so you don't have to push yourself so hard. ”
"I also want to hunt with everyone, but if I can make the most of my abilities......" the dragon whisperer explained, his eyes looking at Qin Shui Yu pleadingly,
"Stupid ......," the little head scolded in his heart. She clasped her hands on her chest, but her face looked like she had made up her mind: "Feng Chen and I are in a group, so it's decided - even if you are not on the list of power of attorney, as long as you are still a member of the small hunting group, you must obey the arrangement of the hunting group." Exploration continues until before dark, and flares are contacted after discovering the monster's tracks. The Far Hunter is ready to stop, and we'll set sail in twenty minutes - is there anything else you can ask? ”
"To be honest, I'm relieved." The two blades spread out their hands. Just experienced the incident of Ryan Yelu, the ancient dragon race, and the kingdom-level disaster, and the next two months have been dealing with the mess after the Qilin Fall, which makes the nerves of the entire small hunting group tense all the time, "This time is just a regular commission in the end - long journeys, camping exploration, etc." Maybe until the end, not even the shadow of a monster can be seen. For the small hunting group, it is actually a vacation in disguise. ”
"Shut up......" Xiong Fuji gave him a blank look and said with a strange expression, "I just brewed some nervousness, and it seems a little boring when you say this—isn't there an easier way than a dragnet search?" ”
"Why, do you have any other way?" Xiao Yang glanced the spearman up and down.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Mei Ke's ears on Feng Manyun's shoulders suddenly moved. Meralou had slept soundly in the noisy barracks all morning, and then woke up quietly. The little orc sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked out the window: "Master, you see......"
"Sooner or later, Snowforest Village will need a permanent team of hunters...... Is it? Jia Xiaoyu said with regret.
