Chapter 719: Another
Even if Qin Hu's airship and Master Guo got in touch early, now that the hunting ground is raging, it will undoubtedly take more patience to find a safe path to sail. After a series of battles, the four members of the small hunting group exploration team were already exhausted, so they simply slept in the cabin. By the time the young hunters were awakened by the roar of the propellers, time had passed.
The sky shrouded in thunderclouds could not distinguish day and night, but fortunately, the hunters had long been accustomed to the routine on the hunting ground, and no one would care about the specific time. Jia Xiao dragged his injured leg down the gangway, looking around sleepily, but when he landed, it was as if he was poured a bucket of ice water on top of his head, and the whole person woke up, and he subconsciously touched the heavy sword behind his back with his backhand: "Here...... Is it still fighting? β
"Relax, the battle is long over." Xiao Yang has been waiting under the gangway for a long time. He hurriedly dodged forward and stopped the great sword hunter's hand as he tried to draw his weapon. The recent situation of the two parties was exchanged through the letter bird some time ago, but as soon as the two-star hunter suddenly returned to a safe environment, he took a recovery agent with a calming effect, and slept in the cabin and directly missed several briefings on the ship, "Hunter ancestor bless, everyone is fine." β
Hearing that his companions were safe and sound, Jia Xiao's expression eased. He looked around the airship, the ground was covered with falling cannonballs and scorch marks from wildfires, and the surrounding ruins were clearly savagely destroyed. The traces of the battle were dragged from the airship of the small hunting group to a few hundred meters away, and the smoke of hunting was rising in the distance, and the battlefield seemed to be more than one: "Hell, what kind of monster is attacking you?" β
"It's not just a head, it's not just a monster." The Twin Blademen smiled bitterly and said, "A poacher's fleet has also attracted a rare species of two fire dragons by them. Fortunately, the two strong men, Master Youquan and Master Peng, came to the rescue in time, otherwise the situation here would have been much worse than now. β
"Captain!" As soon as Qin Shuiyu's feet landed, he saw the female archer with a face full of remorse, "I'm sorry, it's all a mistake on my command, which delayed the timing of the rescue and exploration team, and the airship was also destroyed, and the team was also put in danger." If you hadn't pursued the poaching ship at the timeβ"
"Okay, Miaoling, I've heard the details at the briefing. You're trying to stop a larger tide of beasts, and if it were me, you'd do the same. Now that the beast tide has been stopped and everyone is not injured, this is the best result, isn't it? The hammerman smiled lightly and comforted.
The female archer lowered her eyes and nodded imperceptibly. Even a five-star hunter can't perfectly balance humans and monsters in the hunting ground. The poaching ship suffered such a fall, and most of the beast cubs in the hold were seriously injured and dying under the shock wave, and by the time the rescue team arrived, they were already inactive. Worried that the blood of the beast would attract more monsters, Master Peng had no choice but to order the burning on the spot.
Luckily, a significant portion of the eggs collected by the Shadowhunters were intact. Most of the eggshells of high-level monsters are extremely hard, and they have dodged lightning strikes and the aftermath of battles one after another. At this moment, the masters are leading the team to sort the eggs of the beasts, and after the storm in the Emerald Tower is over, they are an indispensable part of rebuilding the ecology of the hunting grounds.
Seeing that the self-blame on Shentu Miaoling's face had subsided a little, the little group leader took the initiative to step forward and take her hand, "What's more, if that group of poachers wants to attack the little hunting group, we can't hide from it anyway, it's not your fault." β
"There are poachers?" Xiong Fuji propped up the gangway with the tip of his gun, and descended from the deck step by step, not forgetting to ask in a rough voice, "Where?" β
"You're too late!" Xiao Yang waved his hand and stuck out his tongue from afar, "That group of scum has been dealt with by Master Guo alone, but it's a pity that none of you have eyes and haven't seen that earth-shattering arrow." β
After the fact, the vast majority of poachers on the battlefield did not escape the catastrophe caused by the dragon's arrow, and most of the shadow hunters who survived had only half a life left. Losing the protection of the airship, the poachers knew that they could not escape the pursuit of the union warships, and surrendered faster than the other, and soon the union hunters gathered together, took them into custody, and prepared to transport them to the local knights at the right time.
Listening to Xiao Yang's colorful description, Lu Xiu, who had just come out of the cabin, frowned: "The hunting god is above, master, she ...... Was it the execution of hundreds of poachers? β
"There's nothing to worry about." Xiao Yang said indifferently. Poachers are not considered "companions" in the first place under the rules of the Guild, and theoretically any hunter who fights against them is not considered an offense against the honor of a hunter. Poachers who die in battle, the Order's judgment seat will be open to them when the dust settles, but everyone knows that such a trial is just a formality. The guys who can appear on the poaching ship, who have never had black blood stained materials, can die on the hunting ground is already a great mercy to them.
"Besides, five-star hunters all have the same power as the Knights, and it is the duty of the masters to punish poachers." The little head explained. It is foreseeable that after this commission, the seniors may have to bury their heads in paperwork for a while, but that's all.
Qin Shui Yu knows best that the five-star badge does not only represent supreme power, but also a proof of the power and responsibility given by the trade union. Relying on these privileges, the powerful are better able to benefit the hunter world, and they are also more likely to cause harm to the union. Many good hunters can only stop at four stars in their lifetime, not because they are not strong enough, but because they cannot be fully trusted by the hunter union.
"Compared to that...... Senior, why did you get hurt like this? Xiao Qing'er poked her head out from behind the archer and looked at Xiong Fuji worriedly. The upper body of the pikeman was completely covered in bandages, and the thick gauze made it impossible to tighten the hunting suit, so he had to helplessly leave it half-open. The female flute player rushed forward in a few steps, put Xiong Fuji's arm on her shoulder, and swayed to bear the weight of half of her senior's body.
"I fought with two monsters one after another, and I accidentally took a few blows, and it didn't get in the way." Speaking of the previous battle, Xiong Fuji seemed to be lacking in interest. He deliberately wanted to remove his arm from the girl's shoulder, but the other party grabbed the wrist tightly. The big bear was worried about the wound on his chest and the little girl next to him, so she finally went.
"If you have to replace Manyun Travel, what is the result? Didn't you make yourself like this? Xiao Yang gloated and sneered, "So, the work of exploration is not suitable for you in the first place, and if you stay on the airship, maybe you can suffer less." β
"I'll think about it." The pikeman's feet paused, as if his heart was empty, and he surprisingly did not return the favor. The double knife hand was stunned for a moment, and scratched his cheek, I don't know where this big guy is wrong today.
Feeling the strangeness of Xiong Fuji's mood, Xiao Qing'er turned her head and asked softly while walking, "Senior?" Is the wound still painful...... My hunting flute is on the boat, and when I go back, I will play a reply song to listen to my seniors, okay? β
"Hey, that's not fair!" Jia Xiao looked at the bandages wrapped around his legs, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "I'm also injured." β
"You're a skin wound, a skin wound." Xiaolongren said with a sneer, he patted Jia Xiao's shoulder, reached out to take one of his arms, and also kept up with the pace of his companions in front of him.
"So, the information given by the letter bird is too brief, and we don't know who saved you yet." Nie Xiaoyang looked up at the tall airship beside him, "The badge of this hunting ship is that of Ryan Yelu, the kingdom is already like this, can you still send a ship to rescue?" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What? These two are...... Yours...... And your daddy? Xiao Yang exclaimed, stunned for a second before realizing his gaffe. He subconsciously covered his mouth, calmed his breathing, and said curtly, "I'm sorry, Master Qin, Senior Xiong." I'm just ...... It's hard to believe. β
More than ten minutes later, Master Qin's side finished the final preparations for the airship, and Master Guo and the others also finished cleaning the battlefield one after another, and the two teams finally officially completed the confluence. The battleship of the Little Hunter Regiment was still under repair, and the deck and cabins were a mess, and everyone had to settle on Master Kuang's ship. The command cabin of the five-star hunter's private airship is larger than that of the small hunting group, and more than a dozen hunters are standing in one place one after another, and they can barely accommodate it.
"I had the same look on my face." Lu Xiu covered his mouth and whispered to the double knife hand beside him.
"Are you trying to ask, among the seniors who came here, why didn't there be your father?" The female archer smiled lightly at Xiao Yang and rubbed Xiao Qing'er's head in her arms. Compared with the young people who were surprised by the identities of the two seniors, Zuo Qing was already so happy that he was about to faint. In the crowded cabin, three five-star powerhouses gathered in one go, and the breath alone made the little girl fascinated for a while.
"No, my father is a soldier of the kingdom, and he will never have the opportunity to set foot on the territory of another country in his life unless he has to." The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth curled, and he asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Or ...... Do you want to meet my father? β
"No!" The huntress coughed violently, not knowing whether she was hiding herself or being startled by the sudden question, "Of course not! She accentuated her tone again, then turned her head away, her lips twitching, and she muttered something in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
In Shentu Miaoling's arms, Zuo Qing quietly raised her head, and the girl saw that the roots of her senior's ears were slightly red, and what she said was clearly "It's not time yet".
The small episode did not let the other people present notice, and the people of the small hunting group and the seniors had seen it one by one, and Master Peng coughed: "That's the end of the greetings." At the moment, there are still important things that need to be conveyed to all of you in the Little Hunting Group. β
"Before I arrived, the deacons of the union had instructed me to tell you the thanks of the Hunters Guild in person. This commission was able to carry out smoothly, and thanks to the information you sent back to Scarlet, Golden Feather City dispatched almost all the five-star hunters on standby. β
"So, the information given by the letter bird is too brief, and we don't know who saved you yet." Nie Xiaoyang looked up at the tall airship beside him, "The badge of this hunting ship is that of Ryan Yelu, the kingdom is already like this, can you still send a ship to rescue?" β
