When the ear heard the crackling sound of the crystal above his head, the cat pounced on him without thinking. Ailu's pupils opened and she leaped several meters, but she was still a step too late. The silver hammer rolled down first, followed by the master's petite body and several crystals that had been pried off by the hook. Qin Shui's low voice quickly amplified in his ears, and before the cat could see it clearly, he fell firmly in front of the orc.

"The host ——!"

"See ......" groaned in pain, the huntress reluctantly turned over and lay on her back, forcibly suppressed the urge to scold, and struggled to make an unhindered gesture, "I'm okay......"

"Did you hurt your head?" The cat's heart sank, and he leaned down and sniffed around the owner, and said with words in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I should have stopped it......"

In front of the master and servant, the rock barrier blocking the way was a small section of mountain wall peeled off in the collapse, dozens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, extending to the huge rock that separated the two from Jia Xiao and his party. In the ruins of the stone forest after the landslide, Ailu's vision was greatly limited, and she didn't notice such an obstacle until recently. If they turned back to the previous fork in the road and found a way to detour the past, not only would they waste more than half an hour's efforts to find the way, but also mean that the two of them would have to set foot in an extremely fragile terrain again, which would only increase the danger. Thinking of this, the huntress insisted on climbing the rope despite the obstruction of her entourage, and sure enough, she paid the price.

"At least I tried it to be willing to ......" The girl breathed heavily a few times to suppress the pain, blocking the medicine bottle handed by the entourage, "The effect of the previous recovery agent is still there, help me up first......"

"It's already like this, and I'm still thinking about it—" Cat Mao said as she leaned up on one of her master's arms, her furry face full of frustration, "This is no ordinary mountain wall, the crystal is too slippery, the hook claw can't use force, even if you barely climb up, such a brittle rock will hardly hold your weight." I've finally found my master, but I can't watch you joke with your life. ”

Elu's eyes flickered, reflecting the other's appearance. Qin Shuiyu's slender waist was tightly bound by bandages, obviously suffering a lot of injuries from the collapse, and his exposed skin was also covered with scaly wounds. Although the injuries had been treated to the fullest, the master's lips were still tightly pursed all the way to here along the rock crevice, and it was very hard to endure it.

"These words are not convincing to you." Qin Shuiyu smiled, his face turned a little pale in Ai Lu's eyes. In the past, the cat insisted on rushing to his side, risking the risk of touching the fractured rock formation, digging and marching, I don't know how many times I was almost buried in the ground, a master and a servant can be regarded as inseparable in stubbornness: "The little hunting group can't be without a leader for a moment, it's my duty to return to everyone, and it's nothing to suffer a little ......."

"It is also my duty to protect the master...... the cat was about to argue, but felt that his back sank, and the master only stood up halfway up and lost his legs, and he fell down again with Ailu in his arms. Qin Shuiyu was able to protect his head before falling on the rock wall, but his injured back was hit hard again, and the burning lumbar vertebrae at this moment were like an invisible vortex, continuously pulling out the hunter's physical strength and willpower. She struggled for a long time, then simply gave up and leaned on the nearest stone with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, let me ...... first Take a break. ”

"It's okay, the previous wound hasn't been opened...... Ai Lu's flesh probed Qin Shuiyu's body, temporarily relieved, "Don't move, I'll reinforce the bandage a little more." ”

The huntress had lost her helmet during the landslide, and her long hair had been draped all the time, and only then did she gather her broken hair, simply coil it behind her head, and try to adjust her breathing: "Cat, you say...... Am I an incompetent regimental leader? ”

"The two legendary hunters are gone, and it should be my turn to control the situation, but I can't do anything in the end." The girl's gaze turned to the center of the mountain, the direction in which Gu Long finally escaped, and her eyes became misty, "I can't stop the situation on the hunting ground from going bad, and I can't stop everyone from being injured and in distress one by one, and now it's impossible to even be by everyone's side." If I can't be relied on by the team members at a critical moment, what's the point of what I, the head of the regiment, do? ”

"Poof—" Elluben chuckled when she heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you think, master, that your tone is like someone now?" ”

"Huh?"

"If Sealing Dust was in your current position, I would probably say something similar. That guy's ability to feel sorry for himself is difficult for the entire small hunting group to reach, and the owner should be the most familiar with it. ”

The sense of loss in Qin Shuiyu's heart was ruined by the cat's sudden questioning, and he glared at Ai Lu with disgust at the moment. The cat didn't mean to stop: "If these words came out of that guy's mouth, the owner must have known how to answer." ”

The head of the regiment pondered for a while, and really followed the orc's words, "Probably ...... 'Scourge Lair is not a casual hunting ground, no one can really control the situation', 'You've done your best' or something." Her brow stretched for a moment and then gathered again, the worry on her face growing stronger: "But ......"

"There is no 'but'," the cat interrupted as she bit off the extra bandage, "and the little hunting group must not only have a seal of dust, but also a leader who is always confident and never questions himself. That kid made a mistake, and the master can wake up, if the master himself becomes like that, I and everyone in the small hunting group will be helpless. ”

Looking at the cat in front of him, Qin Shuiyu couldn't help but raise his hand and rub it twice on the other party's furry forehead: "Even if you say it right, the team members are waiting for us, now is not the time for Gu Ying to feel sorry for himself - it's time to leave, this stone wall is so wide, you can always find a suitable climbing point." She took a deep breath and staggered to her feet, "This time my backpack and hunting hammer will be left underneath first, and if I lose some weight, maybe ......"

The little head leaned towards the silver hammer handle not far away, but his hand paused in mid-air: "I'm really stupid......" she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Cat, you just said, how brittle are these crystals?" ”

As the last burst of splinters dissipated, cracks in the crystal walls finally surfaced. Under the special effect of the "King of Destruction", a circle of regular cracks appeared on the surface of the rock wall, and with a flick of a finger, the broken crystals the size of goose eggs fell off like fish scales, revealing a four-foot radius of tunnels behind. In order to prevent the rock wall from collapsing, Qin Shuiyu deliberately controlled the strength of the hunting hammer, and even so, it only took a few minutes for the two of them to dig through the rock barrier, and both poked their heads out from the other end.

"You can see Jia Xiao's range of activities from here, right?" The huntress wiped the sweat and shiny stone chips from her face and let out the hole with a soft snort. The cat followed closely behind, and her short body gave way to the sharp rock thorns on the side of the branches: "The terrain is much smoother, and the wind direction is just right, if it is here......" Ai Lu closed her eyes, her nose trembled, and Shaoqing said, "Xiao Yang has left his original position, his injuries should not matter, those guys haven't gone too far, it seems that they are still waiting for us to merge over...... Huh? This one...... It's the taste of Master Anfei and Master Luo! ”

"Really?" The little head of the group was overjoyed, "Are the two seniors okay?" ”

"It's close." Eru closed her eyes again to confirm, her palms pointing in a certain direction. Without waiting for the owner to follow his guidance and run out, the cat's face changed, and he grabbed the corner of Qin Shuiyu's clothes first: "Wait a minute, it seems to be over there...... It's not just the two of them. ”

The shortblade and the hammer were in their hands almost simultaneously, and their eyes stared intently behind the stacked pillars. After a difficult wait, a short figure was the first to emerge from behind the ruins: "Yo, the daughter of the captain's family, what an unexpected encounter." ”

…………

If it weren't for the tiredness, Qin Shui Yu had no doubt that his reason would definitely not be able to hold up the moment the faces of the Black Star Twins appeared. Driven by instinct, the girl will definitely attack without hesitation, so that Mo Lin will have a taste of "destruction king".

"Master Anfei?" Seeing the four of them standing intimately together, the little group leader under her was a little confused, she lowered the hunting hammer slightly, and threw a confused look at the six-star Ailu, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing Qin Shuiyu again, Bai Shao's face looked a little sad, but the former deacon still looked calm, and said calmly: "When I saw Xuelin Village not long ago, I didn't have a chance to say hello to the little guy, this time I went back, why don't you say hello to your family on my behalf." How is Captain Qin doing? Are you okay? ”

"Master......" The cat tugged at the placket of the master's clothes and whispered, "Don't be impulsive yet, those two guys seem to have been subdued by the masters." ”

The Blackstar Twins stood diagonally behind the defectors, one left and one right. Mo Lin and Bai Shao's waists were unnaturally pushed forward, obviously in a state of coercion, but neither of them was constrained by people's consciousness in their actions or tones. Amphines had to poke her head out from behind Morin, nodded and explained, "Don't worry, they're not a threat for the time being, we'll talk about the specific cause later—how are the injuries?" ”

"It's fine." Qin Shui Yu hurriedly responded, the tip of his nose faintly sour, "Gu Long ......"

"We all know the general situation," Luo Pingyang's voice carried a reassuring power, "How are everyone in the Little Hunting Group?" ”

The girl stopped talking, glancing warily at the two defectors. Feeling two hostile gazes, Mo Lin pouted helplessly: "What, don't you believe your Anfei instructor?" It's good to ignore us here. ”

Qin Shuiyu hesitated for a moment before raising his head and pointing to a huge shadow under the night and said: "We are separated by the terrain, and the rest of the team members are on the other side of that boulder, Xiao Yang is seriously injured, but fortunately, he can still move, and Mao Mao and I are planning to make a detour." ”

"Hunter Ancestor Bless ......"

The little head lowered his head timidly and bit his lip: "But...... Lu Xiu, Manyun and Sealed Dust, they were involved in the previous battle, and were taken away by Gu Long during the landslide, probably ...... It was brought into the belly of the mountain, and it has not been dropped until now. Before the six-star powerhouses could react, the huntress simply closed her eyes and said in a loud voice, "I'm sorry...... The change happened too quickly, everyone was already desperate, but it was still a step late, it was all me ......"

"That's fine." Perhaps it was because of the nature of the six-star hunter, or because of the presence of a third party, when they heard the bad news at first glance, the faces of the two strong men did not waver at all. Amphinis coughed lightly, and said with self-reproach: "It's the best confession that you're still alive, it's me and Xiao Luo who should apologize, and it is undoubtedly my negligence to leave you in that dangerous place from the beginning." ”

"Instructor ......"

"The most important thing now is your safety, and the Little Hunter Group can't leave any more members behind." Luo Pingyang decisively said, "Gather your team, try to withdraw to a distant place and wait for the support of the Far Hunter, and leave the whereabouts of those three boys to our two old guys." When this mountain happens, we will find a way to catch up. ”

"Let's go...... By the way, don't forget to ask the airship to vacate two separate cabins, weld the doors and windows, and reinforce the bulkheads for the two VIPs to settle down. Amphines instructed from the side.

Watching the two juniors turn around and leave in a hurry, Old Ai Lu re-tightened the boomerang in his hand, secretly resisted the soft armor on Mo Lin's waist, and said: "You also heard it, your precious apprentice is also in the dragon's lair now, and he may die in the firefight between the two natural disasters at any time." If you still have even a little hunter glory in your heart, or at least a little bit of concern for your disciples, don't play any more tricks. I need a way to shut down that machine, now. ”

"Damn it......" The former chief deacon came back to his senses, his eyes staring at the rocks beneath his feet as if they were about to see through the ground. After a while, as if he had confirmed something, the corners of his mouth gradually drooped, and he no longer had the annoying posture of Fang Zhizhu in his hand, "That makes sense, little Anfei, this battle has been going on for too long, and it's time for the curtain to end." ”

As soon as the words fell, a roar of hunting gear and a piercing chisel came from near the center of the ruins. The repaired war beast brandished its dragon spear, and in a matter of moments, it carved a deep pit several meters in the mountain, and the vibration spread, and the stone forest around Old Ailu also rattled.

"Hey...... Don't look at me like that. Mo Lin avoided two unkind glances, and explained with a sneer, "With the two of you staring all the time, I can't do anything, and the dragon machine soldier will start on its own after repairing the injury, it's just a coincidence......

The defector had only time to finish his sentence when he was interrupted by a vision before him. Around the four of them, the large and small crystals scattered all over the ground glowed with blue fluorescent light for no reason. The fluorescent light is not very bright, but it seems to be calling for something, and it changes regularly in light and off. Qin Shui Yu and the cat had not gone far, and they were also stopped by this phantom light.

The blue light everywhere seemed to envelop the entire remnant mountain into an incomparably large and strange night light, and the huntress followed the guidance of the light, and finally locked on to the center of the snow-capped mountain. In a trance, the wanton destruction of war behemoths also became part of this strange scene, just like the wick of this demon lamp.

Then, as if to echo the strange thought of the little leader, the wick in front of him burned quietly.
