"Liar, huh? Was that ancient dragon just apologizing to us? In just a few seconds, what was happening in front of her was beyond the comprehension of Lina's half-life experience. The heavy crossbowman turned his head to the people of the small hunting group, "You guys...... Did you hear it too? ”

For the Little Hunter Clan, a brief encounter with a top-tier powerhouse was comparable to a battle with all their might, and where did the young people still have the leisure to take care of the Shadow Hunter's sigh. The two-star hunters watched the unicorn's every move without blinking, until the monster turned around and realized that their foreheads were dripping with sweat and their fingertips were slightly tingling.

"Don't go! You haven't answered my question yet! Even though his heart was beating wildly, Regiment Leader Qin still shouted loudly at the back of the thunder beast with all his might. There is only one chance to confront the unicorn, and it is a great luck to be able to catch up with its non-malicious state. There is nothing more authentic than the information that the ancient dragon species has said himself, and even if he can ask one more word from his mouth, it may become the incomparably precious information of the small hunting group.

"Commander, stop shouting. If it goes on like this, it may not be provoked. Feng Manyun stepped forward with a horizontal knife and stopped the huntress from moving forward. The thunder dimmed in the hunters' field of vision, and disappeared in the endless volcanic ash mist as it had come, leaving only a distant "departure" that lingered in the hunters' cranial cavity like an echo in the valley.

"We haven't inquired about anything yet," through a layer of dust masks, the companions could clearly feel the anxious look on the little leader's face, "we can't let it go away like this......"

"Thank goodness it can keep us alive." Xiao Yanggui persuaded, "Manyun is right, this guy's sighting experience is enough for us to write a commissioned report, and provoking an ancient dragon for a few words of information is not only worth the loss." You heard it, it just wanted us to go, and now it's the right thing to do to find a way to get back down the mountain and back to Border Town. ”

Qin Shuiyu pursed his lips, shook his head slowly but firmly, and said, "No, it's not the time to return yet." That ancient dragon is not in a hurry, there is still a chance to catch up......"

"Captain! This is an ancient dragon, not some kind of cloven-hoofed species with horns! Jia Xiao confirmed to the huntress seriously. Any commission can be declared "over" the moment it meets Gu Long, Mo said that the person who issued the task is Amphinis, that is, the presidency personally appointed, and the young people have no obligation to go further into the investigation, "What I have seen so far has far exceeded the expected harvest of the commission, and if we continue to investigate, there will be no more valuable information." Hand over the sighting, tell them what the ancient dragon said, and leave the rest to the guild to deal with. ”

"So...... You did hear that, didn't you? Lena was still crouching on the ground in shock, and when she heard the young people talking about the ancient dragon, she couldn't help but ask. The Shadow Hunter looked at the Thousand Army's Heavy Crossbow that had been melted into twist by a single blow of lightning. The fins of the ballista and the volcanic rock were frozen together, and she could only use her portable knife to chisel through the rock little by little, and finally pulled out the badly deformed weapon.

"Fuss...... None of the young hunters in the argument responded to the purple-clad hunter's question, only the cat rolled her eyes in her direction.

"It's not enough." The little head stretched out his hands, "If there are only ancient dragon species, even if we bring the report back smoothly, how can the union react?" ”

"The Ancient Dragon Observatory? Or an advance patrol airship of a formation? Xiao Yang shrugged, "Forget it, I was scared half to death by that kind of monster, our mission is over, and the rest is not something we should think about." ”

Qin Shuiyu looked at the team members in front of him, and the hunters' faces showed the intention of retreating one by one, and their opinions were surprisingly unified. Shentu Miaoling hugged the dizzy little Zuo Qing and shook her head imperceptibly, the latter rubbing between the waist and abdomen of the female archer, her mouth opening and closing unconsciously, obviously so tired that it was difficult to even stand firmly.

The little head sighed: "This is not an ordinary hunting ground, the guild will not easily throw important observation groups in, and it is even more difficult for a single airship to set foot in the ghost rage. Even if it is Gulong-level intelligence, at most, in exchange for a few painless peripheral investigations, there will be no further action until the town is damaged. The Hunters' Guild has ordered that more troops will take time and procedures, and we are here to reduce them, and if we just turn around and leave, the situation on the volcano will not improve. ”

"Hey, while you're discussing how to get the Hunters' Guild to send troops, don't forget I'm still here!" Lena raised her hand and waved vigorously in the direction of the small hunting group, and said angrily.

"Shut up!" She was answered by several voices scolding in unison.

"You're not worried about the union's reaction, are you?" Staring at the female hammerman's face for a few seconds, Jia Xiao's voice suddenly became softer, and he lowered his voice and said, "Commander, I know—we all know why you don't want to turn back." The little hunting group was attracted to the devil's wrath volcano by that guy, and it's been a day and a night, but I haven't met him on the hunting ground, and frankly, I'm unwilling. ”

"I'm not ......," the girl denied.

"As we speak, the volcano is becoming more and more dangerous." The Great Sword Hunter turned around and exchanged words with his teammates silently, "Although everyone can't understand your feelings, we are also worried about his safety. After all, Dust has survived alone in the gap between the union and the hunting ground for so long, and he should know how to avoid risks better than we do. ”

"That's right, if that guy is somewhere in the mountains, with or without us, I'm sure he'll be able to take good care of himself." Shentu Miaoling nodded in response, "It's not a hurry to see each other, compared to this, you still have a whole team of hunting group members waiting to return to the town safely." ”

The female leader looked in the direction where the unicorn had left, and after a delay, the unicorn in the distance had completely lost its trace under the mist. Her eyes visibly struggled, but she compromised, "Good ......"

"The hosts! Three o'clock, look! An order was interrupted by the hunter's shoulder. Following the cat's point, at the limit of the young people's field of vision, a cluster of golden electric light was meandering in the direction of the crater. Instead of looking for a suitable path, Denguang looked in a straight line in one direction, and whether it was a steep cliff or a wide lava river in front of it, it leaped without hesitation, like a meteor walking close to the ground, appearing and disappearing between the peaks.

"What the hell is this? Another ancient dragon? Jia Xiao pulled down his clairvoyance, but the monster in the distance traveled at an astonishing speed, and with the help of hunting tools, it could not easily capture its shape, and could only see the wisps of electric arcs left by the monster after passing by.

"Golden Lion, this is the dragon that the reverse scale is chasing!" Although she had never seen the Tooth Beast King with her own eyes, Lena was already familiar with its properties, "Ha! I told you that the guy would eventually run to the top of the mountain, trying to claim sovereignty over the Devil's Wrath, and that was the best place to go. ”

The crossbowwoman was still immersed in the fear of facing the ancient dragon a moment ago, but the moment she saw the golden light, she instantly regrouped her spirit. Seeing her standing up and preparing the hunting equipment in her waist bag, Xiao Yang couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”

"Catching up, of course! This kind of luck doesn't happen every day, so what are you waiting for? Lena said as a matter of course, "That's also the direction in which the ancient dragons left, isn't that what you want to see?" ”

"Hey, you don't even have a weapon!"

"My army is not so vulnerable." Lena grabbed the buckle of the crossbow fin, tore it with her bare hands, tore off the iron lump stuck to the ballista, and threw it far away. The hunter turned the tip of the rifle and used his skinning knife to pry open the twisted barrel and pull a smaller one from his rucksack and screw it on. Before he could do that, the Shadowhunter's legs and feet were already moving towards the top of the mountain, "Look, it's like new!" ”

"What more valuable information you want—" The little captain begged the team with a look of antiquation.

The hunting target that the members of the Reverse Scale personally admitted, an eco-level powerhouse second only to the ancient dragon, appeared in front of the hunters' eyes, and no matter how you look at it, it is a reason to continue the investigation. The two-star hunters looked at each other in embarrassment, and the female archer held Xiao Zuoqing's confused little face: "But she-"

"I can still move!" The little guy heard the shouts of his seniors, his arms shook, and he broke free from Shentu Miaoling's arms. She smiled reluctantly, but her face behind the mask was still slightly pale, "It's much better, just a little dizzy...... I'm not going to be a burden to my predecessors. ”

"Sure enough...... You can't just leave it alone. Xiong Fuji shook his head, "There will always be such a situation in the small hunting group, I listen to the leader, what about you?" ”

…………

"Don't let it out of sight!" Just staring at the churning figure of the monster from a distance, Jia Xiao's eyes were a little sour. The thunder and lightning around the dragon clan were not obedient, and the golden arc light spread out in all directions, and the thunder could be heard from hundreds of meters away.

"Further up is the crater, the big one...... Why aren't you going to stop yet? Xiao Yang asked intermittently while running as hard as he could, taking advantage of the moment of exhalation. The more they traced upward, the more the gray clouds above the hunter's head turned redder. At the end of the spectrum, the glow of the fire rising from the lava pool loomed, and each drop of lava thrown from the crater forced the young people to hold their breath for a while.

"The unicorn is too!" In the other direction of the path they were on, the dark blue thunder and lightning field was like a star, twinkling quietly in the dark night, as if it had been waiting for the tooth beast species for a long time.

Xu was aware of the blue electric light on the unicorn's body, and the golden lion in the distance turned his footsteps, and the trajectory of his journey drew an exaggerated arc in the mountains, and the thunder light around the monster exploded several times, and rushed straight in the direction of the ancient dragon species without concealment.

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a challenger who can't do anything about it......" Feng Manyun sighed. In his eyes, the King of Tooth Beasts was not at his peak for some reason, and there was an insurmountable gap with the battle intent of the ancient dragon race, so attacking it would only be self-inflicted.

"Hidden!" Seeing the golden lion's indomitable appearance, Regiment Leader Qin felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice to warn.

"Boom ——!" A distance of 100 meters was only a distance that could be crossed by a breath for a top-tier predator, and no sooner had the hunters found shelter than the two monsters collided with a rumbling thunder.

"Zira—" A series of thunderstorms rang out in the air, and golden and blue lightning collided in pairs, sweeping each other and spreading out in all directions. With the wave of lava splashing from the crater in the distance, the ground under the hunters' feet shook, and the broken rock on the stone wall where they were hiding scattered and smashed into the small hunting group.

"It's really ...... directly," Xiong Fuji had already placed the tower shield on top of his companions' heads, and he shook off the rubble that had fallen on the shield, muttering secretly in his heart.

"That yellow monster, that's your target?" Enduring the roar in his ears after the thunderstorm, Xiao Yang asked Lina who was hiding on the side with a loud voice.

"That's right!" The crossbowwoman nodded in reply.

"Look at this! Are you still crazy about us? The Twin Blademen raised their arms and pointed to the other side of the bunker. Between the words, the two monsters have been attacking each other for more than a dozen rounds, and they are all pure power collisions. Every time the two thunder beasts' bodies collided with each other, they would draw an irregular arc of destructive power around them, and the blue, gold, and bright silver mixed together would reflect each other, as if tearing through the perennial gray fog of the heavens and the earth, making the top of the volcano recreate the landscape that cleared the clouds and saw the sun.

"Captain!" Under the light of thunder, Jia Xiao's clairvoyance caught the figure of a group of people marching under the mountain wall in the distance, "There's a team of sneaky guys over there!" ”

"Other poachers?" The cat stood up on the girl's shoulder, her pupils dilated, and she looked at the human in the distance, "Damn...... Seven heavily armed hunters, three of whom were slightly younger, two of whom, judging by their gait, appeared to be girls. ”

"It's my team," Lena snatched the clairvoyant of the Great Sword Hunter after hearing the staffing, "and they are here too!" ”

"You said there were only four of you." Shentu Miaoling doubted.

"There's also a team of Shadowhunters on the way. There are exactly three imps your size. The crossbowman adjusted the knob of the telescope and replied, "Gotta find a way to get them to notice this." ”

"What are you doing?" Jia Xiao pressed the purple-clothed hunter's hand towards the signal flare, "Do you want us to be discovered by monsters?" ”

"Hey, they're not far away, I'll just touch them myself." The Shadow Hunter casually threw the clairvoyant back to Jia Xiao, "There will be a period later-"

Lina just wanted to raise her feet to leave the shelter, but she felt that her wrist was gently grabbed by a small hand, she turned around and saw Xiao Zuoqing's eyes looking at her with concern, and stopped her in a soft voice: "Don't go out, it's dangerous outside......"

As soon as the girl's words fell, the piercing sound and the thunder and lightning in the sky stopped at the same moment.
