Shadow Hunter felt a thirst in his throat, but sweat trickled down his face and dripped onto the shiny blade.

"The commission was taken in Burning Rock, and we were just taking the money to do things, and no one would dig into the identity of the buyer, let alone what they were buying the materials for." Anyone who is held to the neck by a knife will beat a little faster, and in front of the Xishu hunters, the unlucky poacher can't wait to pull out all the memories in his head, "I swear, I really only know so much!" ”

"Can't we let him say something we haven't heard?" Xiong Fuji said a little anxiously. The muscout young man's spear pointed against the spine of a mustache and stomped on the poacher's buttocks.

"What the hell do you want to know?" In front of Feng Manyun, there was almost a cry in the voice of the triangular face, "At least you have to ask first, don't you?" ”

Seven hunters and one Eru are already a conspicuous team near the lava line. The group kept a low profile as much as possible, following the path that the advance team had searched, and finally found a poaching team that had been operating on the volcano for a long time before dark.

This four-person squad is called "Drinking Blood", or something else with the word "blood", a creepy team name - at least that's what Shentu Miaoling remembers. When they were discovered by the Hunter Group, the four of them were setting up a poisonous trap to trap monsters. Although that kind of trap is very powerful, after the poison tank bursts, it often ends up with no grass within hundreds of meters around, because it is harmful to the ecology, and it was banned by the union decades ago, but I didn't expect to see it here.

These people are at most the last among poachers, and even if there are dragons on the volcano, most of them will not actively participate in the pursuit. Silently chasing after these miscellaneous soldiers, they could only watch as they mutilated the few remaining creatures on the volcano, disturbing the ecology of the mountains and making the hunters angry in vain.

Whether it was to stop the evil deeds or collect intelligence, the Little Hunters could no longer keep a low profile, and under the command of the Commander, the two-star hunters caught them off guard before the trap was set.

Facts have proved that the strength of this team of "drinking blood" is far from worthy of their name. Under the deliberate sneak attack of everyone in the hunting group, the battle ended completely in less than a minute. Two of the four people fainted, leaving only the captain-like triangular face kneeling and bowing his head, and the mustache not far away was lying under Xiong Fuji in a dog-gnawing posture, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Who issued this commission?" Feng Manyun shook the power of attorney in his hand, his eyebrows were horizontal, and the fierceness of the hunter belonging to Xishu was fully displayed on his face, "Has there ever been a strange dragon clan dependent on the mountain-do you want me to ask again?" ”

"Dragon's ......," Triangle Face chewed the word silently, "Are you talking about Yan Gelong?" Seeing that Feng Manyun's expression had not changed at all, he finally put on a crying and laughing expression, "Little young master...... As you can see, there were only four of us drinking blood, and we were half a day late for the climb, so we were thankful we could find a hunting spot above the lava line. Not to mention the dragon family, even the slightly stronger dragon species don't have our share. No matter what you want to prove, there's nothing I can do here. ”

Although I don't want to admit it, this group of young people who suddenly emerged from the mountains are indeed very strong. The bear that clasped the waist of his companion was infinitely powerful; The tall hunter walked with the aura of murder that only the military had; The Taidao hunter who wiped his neck, and his skills in fighting people were far beyond the age he showed on his face. Even if it is not a sneak attack, eighty percent of one's own side will be convinced. When this group of people went up the mountain, they were able to bring a little girl who was not yet an adult without any scruples, and the strength of the other party could be seen. But after all, they are still young, and their triangular faces have been secretly calculated, as long as they know their feelings, at least their lives and those of their teammates are still safe.

"If you really want to exchange information, if you continue to go up, you will meet the Falcon." The triangular face's proposal couldn't tell the truth from the false, "That's the real powerful hunting group, the last time I was glimpsed, they were five full teams, there were handymen responsible for dismantling and transporting, and there were also teams dedicated to pathfinding and searching, and the information they had was definitely much more detailed than ours." ”

"The hunting territory above the lava line seems to have been divided according to strength, and when we were scouting, we found that there were no powerful poaching groups at this level." The cat was on the regimental leader's shoulder and added in a low voice to the director. In the volcano information provided by the nameless predecessors, the powerful Shadow Hunters attached to Burning Rock Town abound, and the Little Hunters only saw the tip of the iceberg.

"Shall we go to death?" Qin Shuiyu pointed the small silver hammer in his hand straight at the triangular face, his eyes aiming back and forth at the poacher's head. The blood-drinking captain felt a chill in his heart, and he clearly remembered that it was this hammer that tore through the heavy armor on the chest of a companion, and it would not be very pleasant to smash it on the head, "Flim, I don't want to believe a word of your poachers' advice!" ”

"Huh? What is it? Without waiting to continue to plead, the captain of the blood drinker only felt a chill on his waist, and subconsciously covered his waist, and his movements were already half a beat slower. Taking advantage of the moment of distraction, a small hand quickly withdrew something from his waist, "A map? ”

"Hey! Don't ......mess around," the poacher was about to go to the hairy little girl, when the blade of the knife around her neck tightened and forced him back into place, and the triangular face had to swallow the second half of the sentence back into her stomach.

"Good eye!" Jia Xiao praised the girl and reached out to take the hastily folded map.

The terrain of the volcano changes frequently, and the specific terrain depiction is of little significance, with only a few terrain directions and regular monster territory distribution on the drawings. Without the aid of the unions, it is difficult for poachers to get a complete map of the power of the hunting grounds, and the vast majority of the areas on paper are empty. The only information is in the vicinity of where the Little Hunters are currently standing. The blocks were crowded with the species of different monsters, and several of them had been scrawled with black crosses, so it was needless to say what that meant.

"Scumbag ......" saw the black on the map, Xiong Fuji was angry in his heart, and kicked the mustache's ass fiercely, causing the latter to wail in pain.

"What does this circle mean?" Xiao Zuoqing raised her head curiously, and pressed her finger near the center of the drawing. Unlike the dotted lines marking the route and the intersection of hunting monsters, a circle mark around the top of the mountain is unusually abrupt, "Is there any treasure?" ”

"Are you too late?" Hearing the group of imps asking about the mountaintop marker, the mustache looked up with difficulty, "Or ...... You're not Shadowhunters? ”

"Huh, 'Shadowhunter'? It's really going to put gold on your face. Nie Xiaoyang crossed his hand and said in a strange manner, "It's just a group of rats in the hunter world, and they want to make up a mysterious name for themselves." ”

The situation is stronger than people, Triangle Face did not refute, but got his own answer from the taunt of the tall hunter, and explained in a deep voice: "That area has become a danger zone since last night, we marked it so that we don't stumble into that area." ”

Last night's thunder light landed and everyone in the volcano knew about it, but the little hunting group that was one step behind was a whole day late to get the news. Listening to the description of the triangular face, Captain Qin's face gradually became solemn.

"If that's what you want...... It's a pity that there have been large hunting groups staring at that vision for a long time, and maybe they have already figured it out. With your strength, it is more than enough to occupy a rich hunting ground on the mountainside, but if you want to touch that kind of mold, ......" Captain Blooddrink did not continue, but it was already clear from his expression.

"Northwest direction...... Shentu Miaoling ignored the last words of the Shadow Hunter and looked at the map. The hunter took out the compass he carried with him and compared it, and looked towards a certain place on the mountain, "It seems that we have to cross half of the main peak, and this road will not be peaceful." ”

To get useful information, you have to risk reaching out to a stronger team of poachers and bypass the layers of hunting teams. Even if I can get there smoothly, the clue has been a day late, and I don't know how much timeliness there is. Although he had long been prepared for the difficulty of this investigation, Qin Shui Yu still had a headache when it came to it.

"But now we can only take one step at a time." After pondering for a moment, the little head finally made up his mind. Hunters are adventurers in their bones, whether the danger comes from monsters or humans, "Qing'er, let's go, you found this destination for everyone." ”

"We'll take the map." Before Jia Xiao turned around, he didn't forget to wave the drawings in his hand.

"Wait a minute." Feng Manyun and Xiong Fuji glanced at each other, and when they lowered their heads again, there was something inexplicable in the eyes of the Xishu hunters.

"Hey! We have no grievances, for the sake of me providing you with so much information......" Triangle Eyes obediently raised his hands above his head.

"Brush—brush!" The knife turned into a cut, and a knife was slashed on each side of the poacher's waist, and the waist bag was delicately picked up to the blade. Feng Manyun's wrist trembled, and the leather bag circled around the blade a few times, and flew out with a "snort", falling far away in the dark red magma river. Xiong Fuji did the same, dismantling the poacher's weapons and props, and even smashing the vicious tools used to set the poisonous trap and throwing them into the lava.

Without life-sustaining food and water, weapons and communications, it is up to the heavens to decide whether or not these poachers survive on the volcano, but this is already the greatest mercy of the young hunters.

Xiao Qing'er walked at the end of the line, and she couldn't stop looking back step by step. Poachers that they used to know only in books are now sitting on the red black volcanic rocks. The girl stopped, bent down to pick up a fist-sized stone on the ground, and hesitantly aimed at the triangular face. The captain who drank blood was hit in the back of the head by Feng Manyun, and his neck fell to the ground crookedly. The flute gritted his teeth and threw the stone out of his hand with all his might.

The one-star hunter's head was slightly off, and the flying stone smashed into the thigh of the triangular face. The Shadowhunter's armor was slammed into a white mark, and his legs bent and moved, showing no signs of awakening.

"Humph!" Zuo Qing stomped her feet angrily, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and kept up with the footsteps of her predecessors.

…………

"Safety!" The cat gently lifted the slender red grass and looked out, leaving only faint traces of blood and battle on the opposite side, and the last figure disappeared at the end of the volcanic ash mist.

"......Huh" It wasn't until the poachers on the side of the narrow road left that the hearts of everyone in the small hunting group quietly let go, "You can come out!" ”

After a few more kilometers of climbing, the young men finally encountered the first large wave of Shadow Hunters since entering the mountain. The hunting group had just experienced a great battle, and the beast corpse had been simply disposed of, and it was transported back to the foothills by the airship that had arrived. The poaching team is divided here, and there are four full hunter squads just for the broken candidates who clean up the battlefield. The group had to hide behind the grass and were almost spotted several times. It wasn't until they finished cleaning that they dared to show their figures.

"In fact, a low-level poacher team like just now, if we sneak up on one more, we can get a set of waist cards for the underground hunting group for everyone." Nie Xiaoyang muttered, plucking the blades of grass hanging on his body, "At least you can move freely on the mountain, and you don't have to hide like this anymore." ”

"What, you want to be a poacher instead?" Xiong Fuji's hands pressed his companion's shoulders painfully.

"It's just a disguise!"

"Think of those hapless guys, and look at a few of us - we don't look like poachers at all." Jia Xiao shook his head and said.

Most of the Shadow Hunters' hunting outfits are made from a patchwork of materials, and if the material has higher strength and better performance, they use it to replace the original equipment on their bodies. Even though most of the poachers' clothing is much better and more expensive than the standard equipment, most of them are unaesthetically pleasing and indistinguishable from savages. The only ones who can put their mind into the complete set of equipment are the middle and upper echelons of the Shadow Hunters such as Reverse Scale.

"Look at us, the equipment is all made by regular workshops, and even the works of dragonmen are available, even if they hang a bronze medal, how many people will believe it?" The two-star hunter waved his hand, "Besides, I'm afraid I'm not the only one here who doesn't want to hang that kind of fishy waist card." ”

"Save the whining until after the commission is over." The little group leader suppressed the voices of the discussion, "From here, there will be more and more large poaching teams like Fang Cai......" she sighed, it was hard to imagine that the density of poachers in a hunting ground was the same as the density of hunters in the union control area, "Concentrate on finding the way, we have no chance to make mistakes......

"Master—" The cat tugged at the leader's exposed hair from his helmet with her palms. Following Ailu's point, several clouds of smoke rose from the top of the narrow road, and a faint explosion flashed in the smoke, "Over there...... It seems that there is a fight. ”
