Chapter 254: Secret Signal
After receiving the information confirmation from two consecutive one-star exploration teams, Uncle Zhong confirmed the correctness of the information of the teenagers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The camp is indeed around a horde of primate monsters, and it's inevitable. In such a primitive environment, almost all hunting grounds are divided up by large predator species or predator families, and as long as the monsters are not too tricky, the camp generally does not choose to relocate.
However, Uncle Zhong still instructed the hunters who built the camp to increase the defensive wall by 30%, replace the barracks on the periphery with stone, and pull out all the mushrooms within a few kilometers around the camp.
"This kind of monster is called the peach fur beast, which is more common among the primate monsters of the tooth beast species." The uncle explained, "I have a strong jumping ability and like to eat mushrooms, which we call prevention before it happens." ”
"Is that monster powerful?" Xiong Fuji's body has not yet recovered, but his fighting spirit has ignited first.
"Peachfur isn't strong," Kitten Black Carbon smirked, "but you won't want to fight them." ”
Seeing that neither one nor one cat revealed any more information, the trainees could only return to their premises in confusion. The barracks have been allocated for them, and they are still simple houses with camping tents and a mix of earth and stone, which can shelter from the wind and rain, but there is not so much attention to keeping warm. The girl asked for a small room alone, and the rest of the boys crowded into the Chase bunk, and the trainee raised the brazier and took care of the toxins and wounds on his own.
The little hunter and his party were rewarded with 100 race points each for discovering effective information, but the carrier pigeons that followed in the afternoon updated a large number of new commissions with hundreds of race points, which made the valley hunters, who had still not recovered from the paralysis needle of the flying beetle, cry out for loss. However, the matter has come to this, and the teenagers can only settle down and recuperate for half a day, knowing that going out on a mission in a bad state is a hundred times more dangerous than their previous behavior.
"I went to look at the board, and although the new commissions were diverse, they faintly pointed to a few important things." Jia Xiao spread out the small notes in his hand, pointed to a certain task on it, and said, "Exploring the inner swamp for twenty-five kilometers and setting up a supply point, this is the only exploration task on the kanban that gives a clear direction and purpose, and the committee wants us to go deeper into the inner marsh at this observation station." ”
"Isn't that a normal thing?" Nie Xiaoyang said as a matter of course, "How can the entrusted task of the hunting sacrifice be limited to the outer swamp, and it is already very lenient to give us a day off before initiating a request to go deep inside." ”
"There's also this task, to assist with the escort, to take over two tool carts on the way back." Jia Xiao pointed to another task.
"That ghost crane is coming to our camp?" Xiong Fuji exclaimed, his impression of the steel chariot was not unimpressive, but his reaction at this time was a little excessive.
"Don't be impatient, the crane truck will be afraid that it will not be repaired well for a while. You see, the next time I sent were two excavation drill trucks, probably just hunters digging up some peat and ore in the swamp to supplement the camp construction costs. "Seal the dust.
"This hunting ground has not yet been discovered, how does the Hunters' Guild know where there will be minerals?" Luciu lay on the bed and shook his head.
"Maybe the Hunters' Guild has been transferred and given us weapons to strengthen our defenses." Thinking of this, Xiong Fuji grinned, that large chariot is terrifying as an enemy, but it will also be an extremely powerful help if it becomes a helper.
"There is only a guy in the world who is full of muscles like Big Bear, who can think of using engineering vehicles as chariots." Nie Xiaoyang smiled maliciously.
"And the last one," Jia Xiao didn't give everyone much time to discuss, "to guide the resettlement task, our camp needs a new batch of hunters." I feel like whatever the next move for this camp is, the answer can be found in them. ”
…………
Night.
Shentu Miaoling mustered up several courages before opening the curtain of the tent.
There weren't many people in the camp who weren't asleep yet, and a few of them were still feeding the Maruto, and finally reinforcing the camp's defenses. The entire outpost presents a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, so that those in the middle of it can't help but feel a sense of reassurance.
The girl looked particularly nervous, and her eyes flashed over the hunters near her tent several times, and seeing that none of them were paying attention to her, she pretended to be casual and walked out of the camp.
"Miaoling? You haven't slept yet? Behind her, a wistful voice stopped her.
When the girl turned around, she found that it was Xiaoyang who got up in the middle of the night. The insect venom on the young man's mouth has been dissipated, and he is now speaking as usual, and there is no strange tone.
"Oh...... I...... During the day, he was poisoned by insects and injured his left hand holding the bow, and he just felt that it was okay and wanted to come out to try the bow. Shentu Miaoling's voice was a little unnatural, "I have a mission tomorrow, I have to adjust my state better, and I can't hold everyone back." ”
The girl was nervous, but she didn't realize that she had explained more than usual, and she finished speaking to herself, quietly watching the other party's reaction.
"You...... Alas," Xiao Yang, who was half asleep, became more awake, and he sighed and said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this. ”
"What?" Shentu Miaoling's hands suddenly clenched behind her back.
"Whether you admit it or not, we are not the same now as we were when we were first exiled," said the tall boy sincerely, "we are a team, and we will protect you even in an explosion like today's." ”
"No matter what kind of responsibility you have, you don't have to force yourself to do it alone." Xiao Yang quietly took two steps closer, "If you work too hard, it may have the opposite effect." ”
"I know." The girl's clenched fists slowly let go, and she said slowly but firmly, "But I always want to be able to protect myself, whether from the hands of monsters or from the hands of my kind...... Thank you for your concern. ”
The girl before meeting was still as cold and stubborn as ever, and Nie Xiaoyang was not good at saying anything more. Although the people in the valley have different temperaments and backgrounds, they all have their own stubbornness on their own hunter path and life path, and excessive interference will cause the other party's dislike, so he quietly changed the subject: "Do you remember that in the valley, when you were exploring the mission, you asked me and said that if we could come out alive that time, you would let me do you a favor." ”
Shentu Miaoling's face turned a rare red, but it was hidden by the dim moonlight and night, "That's right, but I'm not sure if I need it anymore, you can keep this request for the time being, when I ring it, I will look for you." ”
"Okay......" Nie Xiaoyang touched his nose, in front of the girl who was not emotional in these words, he always had a sense of powerlessness that was difficult to answer.
"Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to practice archery." The girl took one last look at Xiaoyang, raised her head, and walked out of the camp.
The tall boy was left alone in place, waving his hands awkwardly, and the phrase "rest early" was in his throat, but he didn't say it in the end. The boy smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head and opened the curtain, and entered the boys' tent.
A short distance from the camp, a flare streaked across the night sky with a long trajectory.
The flare is not bright green, yellow or red, as is the standard in the union, but a very dark dark blue. The light seemed to be deliberately made so that no one could notice it, and it almost blended into the night sky of the Swamp, and it was almost impossible to detect it in the night sky unless you were careful.
