The little head of the regiment put his hand on Zuo Qing's wrist and paused, and finally wiped his forehead with relief: "Whew...... It's just that I slept and it shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Looking at the little girl's slightly undulating chest, Shentu Miaoling also shook her head helplessly: "Do you still want to leave someone to take care of it?" ”

"It was the same last time, she would wake up on her own." The cat held her chin on the owner's shoulder, looking at Qing'er's mouth that was still slightly smacking in her sleep, "This is Qing'er's first time going out to commission, and she is tired from the journey along the way, so let her rest here for a while." ”

The two protagonists of Golden Feather City today gathered in the camp of the Little Hunting Group, and for Qing'er, who had just left the training camp, the chances were comparable to two huge meteorites smashing on her bed at the same time. The moment he realized what was going on, the new one-star hunter was so excited that he forgot to breathe - physiologically, fainted for the second time in front of everyone. The two huntress had no choice but to settle the girl in her side room, feed her some soothing potions, and take care of her for a while before leaving.

"It doesn't matter to her." A group of boys were waiting outside the door, and when they saw the head of the regiment pacing out the door, they all stepped forward and asked.

"Did that little girl get hurt in any way?" Feng Manyun asked a little nervously, after all, he was unconscious after hearing his words, and the white-clothed hunter was still a little reluctant in his heart.

"It's just that I haven't gotten used to smashing the life of a small hunting group." Qin Shui Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You should see when she first met Master Anfei, we almost sent her to the medical hall." ”

"How did she get in?" Lu Xiu wondered, "It shouldn't be the peak season for recruitment. ”

"Qing'er can be regarded as our junior." Xiao Yang looked at the bright and dim light in front of the window of the hut, "She is the next batch of students in the valley training camp after we left." ”

"Such a girl...... How did you get sent to the valley? Why? The dragonman's eyes widened.

"That's what's interesting." Jia Xiao's fingers swept over the tips of his companions' noses in turn, "The reason why she is there is just a few of us." Qing'er was not implicated in any way, but only heard about the deeds of the Little Hunting Group, and insisted on being transferred to the valley training camp voluntarily. ”

After the challenge festival ended, this year's Valley Boys have all turned into official one-star hunters. Having lost the cadets, Amphinis no longer coaches in the camp. Zuo Qing stayed in the deserted valley for several months, and actually rushed back to Jinyu City on foot alone, found the location of the small hunting group, and asked the head of the Qin regiment to take him in by name.

"We don't know how she found here." Thinking of the scene at that time, the Great Sword Hunter was still confused, "That kid is still some time away from the end of training, but since he came from the valley, everything is simple in terms of procedures, and he has obtained the qualification for promotion in a daze." ”

"Did she do this just to get into the Little Hunting Pack? Why? The confusion in the dragon's heart grew even greater. All the members of the hunting group in front of him are only two-star young people, and the number of people can't even make up two integrated teams. Even though the topics and controversies in the past two years have surpassed those of some old powerful hunting groups, it has never been a good place for hunters seeking exploration and development.

"Maybe she's just trying to see us." The little head sighed lightly, "You know those old hunters who have chased their prey all their lives and are eager to give all their lives and energy to the hunting grounds. ”

"Huh?"

"In Qing'er's eyes, those prey may be us."

The door of the main house was halfway open, and legend has it that Eru leaned out from behind the door: "Alright, children, this is the end of the greetings." Come on in, there are important things to explain. ”

…………

In the hut was a rare gathering of all the members of the small hunting group, and everyone sat nervously around the Black Star Twins. Old Ai Lu took a sip of tea, and his expression finally changed back to the seriousness and seriousness that hunters were familiar with.

"Therefore, it is indeed important to not hesitate to interrupt your hunting this time and call you back together. Where to start......" Amphines pondered, pulling out a stack of vellum paper from his wide robes and spreading them out in front of the two-star hunters, "Let's take a look at these commissions first. ”

After a few days of activities around Burning Rock, the nameless senior gathered a lot of information, including a power of attorney for these volcanic materials. Not only local to Burning Rock, but also earlier commissions have been documented. The hunters passed around with each other, and their eyes were full of solemnity. They are no longer fledgling rookies, and they can naturally imagine what kind of inhumane hunting carnival is behind the short commission narrative.

"These ...... Are they all recent? Nie Xiaoyang's back was cold, "It is impossible for the trade union to issue such a commission!" ”

"There's no Old Hunters' Guild Fire Badge on it, it's more like a mission from the underworld." Jia Xiao put down the paper, looked up and asked Old Ailu, "Where did all these things come from?" ”

"Nameless went to the vicinity of the volcano a few days ago and found it in the poacher's town." "As you can see, two of these commissions have passed their deadlines, which means that two volcanic hunting grounds have been poisoned by poachers. As we speak, the third hunting ground is in the midst of a bloodbath, and I don't know how many more such commissions will continue to be issued. ”

"Are the poachers all crazy?" Xiong Fuji shook his head, "This is clearly killing chickens and eggs, even those poachers should understand the pros and cons." ”

"Even though Volcano is the most egg-laying chicken on the continent, the owner of the chicken is not the poachers. As long as there are enough interests, of course they don't care. Luo Pingyang said in a deep voice, "This is what makes us different from poachers." ”

"We need to warn the union right away." Shentu Miaoling's expression was awe-inspiring. Large-scale ecological paralysis, large-scale beast tide counterattack, God knows what more serious consequences this group of madmen can bring. If it's too late, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control.

Amphinis and the eldest disciple glanced at each other, stroked their beards, and said gloomily, "We've already tried. ”

In fact, on the first day he got the information, Old Ailu sent letters to both the Lockrak and the Wangcheng branch, and even personally boarded the gate of the Golden Feather City branch. The two letters have not been heard back to this day, and Amphines herself has hit a nail that is neither soft nor hard.

"Although the Golden Feather City branch promised to follow up on this matter, it only promised to communicate and coordinate with the branch of Ryan Yelu, and has not sent a single patrol airship to the volcanic area for several days." Master Luo said hatefully, "Their excuse is that the volcanic zone is not under Scarlet's jurisdiction. ”

"Heh, when the materials are collected, the entire continent is under the jurisdiction of the union." Nie Xiaoyang sneered, "It's really the style of the Hunter Guild." ”

Head Qin sat closest to Anfeinis, the girl's hands pinched the corners of her clothes under the table, and cautiously asked her seniors: "Lord Anfei, dare to ask, the resistance of the trade union...... Is it because of you? ”

Even though the Legendary Hunter's badge was still pinned to his chest, the two Legendary Hunters no longer had the same tremendous energy as they had been two years ago. The Valley Hunter is a student of the Black Star Twins, and so is the defector Seal Dust, who has been charged with several crimes, and Amphinis's figure runs through the beginning and end of the Fengshan Dragon incident, even if Old Eru really has nothing to do with Seal Dust's escape, few people in the Hunter Guild will believe it.

As a legend of the hunter world, it was certainly not easy for the union to investigate the testimony of the Black Star Twins at that time. But the longer Dust absconded, the more the anger of the Knights and the Guild inevitably turned on the legendary hunters.

The union no longer trusts the two old hunters in front of them, and the young people of the small hunting group can vaguely feel something.

"No," Anfinis denied, but added, "not exactly. The unions have other considerations, and such large-scale acquisitions have not been commissioned before. ”

The commission release mechanism of the underground world is far less complete than that of the hunter union, and occasionally there will be commissions written at will by the desperate need of a certain material, or by wealthy financiers, or even simply idiots who do not understand the market, with their own conjectures. This kind of commission may cause a lot of agitation in a short period of time, but once the employer sees the madness of the Shadowhunters, most of them will cancel it in time, so as not to waste gold coins and buy unwanted materials for nothing.

"So what's so special about this time?" Jia Xiao heard something different from Old Ailu's words.

"This time...... Elu picked up the power of attorney on the table, "probably serious. Whoever the employer behind them is, there is a high probability that these commissions will stick with them for a long time. ”

"On your way back, I received a second piece of information from an unknown person. It's just an alley rumor...... However, rumor has it that the Volcano may have broken into a valuable top-tier predator, a dragon. ”

In order to provide favorable conditions for the hunting of the superior species, it is possible to use money to drive the Shadow Hunters to empty the battlefield, create panic, or any other tactic. If the situation really escalates to this level, the power of attorney in the hands of young people cannot be seen as the accidental recklessness of some wayward poacher.

"A hunting suit made of the Dragon's Clan materials fell into the hands of the poachers, symbolically as if a heavy war airship had been given to them." Luo Pingyang explained, "The damage to one or two hunting grounds can be compensated for by time and management, but this is a price that even the union cannot afford." ”

"The instructor also said that it was just a rumor, and the news may be fake." Xiong Fuji said disappreciatively.

"That would only get worse." Amphinis's eyes froze, "You may not know what the poachers are doing, but those madmen won't stop killing on the volcano as long as they can't find the rumored beasts." You should pray that the news is true, or else this twisted hunt will turn into the most aggressive monster extermination operation in the history of the New World. ”

"This is a trouble for the union, and it should be a headache for the hunter union." Nie Xiaoyang snorted from his nostrils.

"Without reliable sources, they won't believe it." Jia Xiaomo scratched his fingers and said, "The identity of the unknown predecessor is special, and the gossip cannot be used as a reason for the union to send troops. By the time the ecological anomalies spread to the surrounding hunting grounds, the only thing left for the union may be a dead land. ”

"Even if they start preparing now, it's already too late." Mao Mao silently calculated, "It will take more than half a day to travel from here to the nearest airship to the entrusted delivery place, and the rest of the journey will only arrive tomorrow night if you take the land route." One day is enough time to create too many variables. ”

"Did the instructor call us back to do something?" Shentu Miaoling sat up straight and asked solemnly.

"Actually, neither Xiao Luo nor I want you to be in danger this time." Old Eru pursed her lips and replied solemnly, "It's one thing to deal with monsters, it's another thing to meddle with poachers. But in this case, there are some things that only you can do. ”

Captain Qin listened quietly, silently deducing the state of affairs this time in her heart, until she heard the last words of the legendary hunter, she suddenly raised her head and couldn't wait to ask, "Master Anfei, is he there?" ”

Amphinis was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "That kid is still safe now, I can only tell you so much. ”

Not to inform the companions of the Little Hunting Group of the immediate status of the sealing dust is the rule that the Black Star Twins have privately agreed. Unlike the six-star hunters, the small hunting group is more vulnerable to the Knights, and even if they know the slightest bit of information about Sealing Dust, it may bring danger to themselves and Sealing Dust who is far away.

"Without your orders or special circumstances, the nameless senior will not leave Golden Feather City casually." Qin Shuiyu looked directly at Ai Lu beside him, "I won't go alone near a volcano full of poachers." Calling us back was before the second part of the intelligence came, and you sensed something was going to happen at that point, right? ”

"You're going to the area around the Onifuma Volcano and gather as much information as you can while keeping yourself safe, that's all you need to know." Amphines didn't let go of his mouth at all.

"Master Anfei! It's been two years since then. The female leader covered her mouth and nose with her backhand, "We can go anywhere because of your orders, but I just want to know if we can see the dust again on this trip to the volcano." ”

Old Ai Lu looked around, but found that the eight pairs of eyes of the entire small hunting group were looking straight at him, and their eyes were full of eagerness and expectation. Amphinis shook his head helplessly and whispered, "I don't guarantee that you will see him, but you do know that. The little hunting group's trip to the volcano was the child's own request. ”

"The airship is scheduled for tomorrow morning, so you need to rest early."
