Chapter 729: The Hunting Squad on
Kazan's six envoys have their own duties, and the fourth of them is Harvey, who leads the hunting party and spends most of his time in the desert.
The job of the hunting party is to hunt the creatures of the abyss that have strayed into the realm of Kazan from the realms of other thrones, and the weaker creatures are disposed of as ordinary prey; If they find a gifted and valuable individual, the hunting party will give them corpse viruses, and they will be recovered on behalf of Kazan, turning them into future combat power reserves for the Pale Palace.
In addition to hunting abyssal creatures that do not have a different sense of the throne's territory, the hunting party also hunts a special kind of prey, which is the spies sent by other thrones.
......
After Harvey gave Wu Qi an initial dismount, he took Wu Qi all the way to the camp of the hunting team. The entire camp is built with a mixture of wood and stone, and the area is very large. A 10-metre-high protective fence has been built around the perimeter of the camp, and the interior is brightly lit, and more than a dozen houses of various heights can be seen at a glance.
The bottom of these houses is made of wooden ejectory frames, which are built strong enough to withstand certain shocks and stand tall in the storm. Although the camp sparrows are small, there are all kinds of buildings necessary for the hunting team, such as workshops, textile rooms, boiler rooms, living houses, assembly halls, restaurants, school training grounds, weapons warehouses, food warehouses, and material warehouses.
The gates between the protective fences of the camp were open and unguarded by hunters. From a distance, Wu Qi could hear the voices of the members of the hunting party talking or laughing loudly wafting out of the camp.
The voice that drifted from afar was not a human language that Kazan and the six envoys could understand, but the language of the creatures of the abyss. By this time, Wu Qi was not completely incomprehensible to the language of the abyssal beings, he could understand part of it; With a foundation in the language of the wilderness, it didn't take him long to learn the language of the abyss.
Harvey walked straight into the empty doorway, raised his huge palm and slapped it twice.
"Little ones!" Harvey's voice was different from his calm and quiet appearance, and he didn't shout too hard, and his voice was naturally loud enough to reverberate throughout the camp.
Wu Qi glanced left and right, and countless afterimages moved quickly from all parts of the camp, forming a neat queue in just the blink of an eye.
The appearance of the members of the hunting team was seen by Wu Qi at a glance. Most of them are abyssal creatures that have evolved to resemble human form, with a variety of races and strange appearances, with a maximum of 10 people of the same race, and a total of 75 people in the hunting party gathered here.
Purely compared to strength, none of the "hunters" here have the strength of the air explosion whale and the gray queen, and their strength can be said to be very weak compared to themselves. Although this is also a matter of course, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
"Little one, he's a new member of our hunting team, his name is 'Wu Qi', and he's a human. Let's get along well in the future. Harvey announced.
"Yes!" The 75 hunters spoke in unison. They were in unison at Lord Harvey's orders, and then there was a lot of small exchange in the small group.
"Do you smell it? This newcomer's race turned out to be the rumored real human, and it turned out to be this smell. ”
"Humanity, isn't this weakest race incapable of surviving in the abyss of the Apocalypse? Where did it come from? ”
"Look at his skin, it's a 'corpse life' that is dominated by the lord of the throne. Is it possible to ......"
Wu Qi's ears were full of hunters' gossip, some of which he could not understand, some of which he could understand, and which were probably discussing his race.
Humans are the so-called "extinct" species in the abyss of the apocalypse. There is a wasteland of the Fallen Area separated by thousands of kilometers between the human territory and the Apocalypse Abyss, if it weren't for Sister Ruo Ying's restart and construction of five human bases in the Fallen Area, so that it is possible for humans and the lives of the Apocalypse Abyss to meet, it is estimated that these guys living at the bottom of the Apocalypse Abyss will never see real humans in their lives.
But if these guys have never seen "humans", then they must have a chance to see them. The first deacon, Dawson, and the second, Lois, were identical to human beings, regardless of their true race. Arthur, the former seventh throne, has a rather British human appearance, and the ninth throne Cleo, although he has horns on his head, his facial features are also human features.
Wu Qi couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart. Since there are almost no humans in the Abyss of the Apocalypse, why is there no shortage of anthropomorphic individuals in the powerful thrones, and there are so many humanoid creatures in the relatively weak hunting party. You must know that the fallen area beyond the abyss of the Apocalypse is full of powerful plague species that have evolved and gone berserk.
At this moment, Wu Qi planted a seed of doubt in his heart. He wanted to investigate what the Abyss of the Apocalypse was, what its history was, what civilization was, and what its species were. It is not possible to investigate the Thirteen Thrones and the Imperial Throne with a vengeful energy, and only by groping through the small details and finally putting together a map of Hongda's ecological civilization is the way of the hunter.
Wu Qi put away all his thoughts and exhaled. At this moment, Harvey said to him, "Wu Qi, do you understand what they are talking about?" ”
Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I can probably understand something." I know the language of the wilderness, and the language of the abyss is the same as the former. ”
Harvey nodded: "In short, it is your freedom to live in the hunting team however you want. Whether it's learning the language of the abyss to blend in with them, or being an isolated lone wolf, it's all your choice. ”
Wu Qi already had the answer in his heart. Hordes of hunters can hunt more powerful prey, and if he has made it his goal to investigate the ecological civilization map of the Apocalypse Abyss, the creatures of the Apocalypse Abyss are not his enemies, or even his helpers.
"Thank you, sir."
Harvey's eyes are like a silent lake, and the slightest movement of his eyes is only a matter of moments, and after a moment it returns to calm, and no one knows whether there has been a small wave.
Harvey casually pointed to a werewolf covered in pitch-black fur standing at the front of the queue, and ordered: "Lekaon, you take Wu Qi to choose a bed and a bow, and the whole team will set off in half an hour for routine training." ”
The werewolf Lekaon spoke Harvey and the same human language, and said "little obedience", then waved his wolf claws at Wu Qi, telling Wu Qi to follow him.
Wu Qi followed Laikaon. It didn't take long for Laikaon to take Wu Qi to the No. 5 residence. This wooden living house is the size of a three-story apartment, and when you open the door, you will find a two-storey, multi-division dormitory.
"One house is occupied by people No. 20, room No. 5 is not yet full, and everyone except you is the support staff of the hunting team. Well, you're going to live here. Lekaon said as he walked down the hallway between the dormitories on either side, pointing to a small room with the number 86.
The door to a small room is about three-quarters the arm span of an average adult, flanked by wooden walls that separate it from the rest of the room. You don't have to think about features like sound insulation, just the most basic privacy.
Wu Qi pushed open the door and glanced at the structure in the room. A bed, a bedside table, and hangers on the walls, but otherwise empty.
"Take the sign of daily necessities to the warehouse to get it, give you this empty door number, write your name on it and hang it, and this room is yours." Laikaon took an empty door number and a milli brush out of nowhere, and handed the empty door number to Wu Qi.
The empty door number is a very light wood color, and like the door number 86, it is a material that is very easy to retain ink to show the handwriting. Lecaon pressed the end of the brush, and the black ink seeped out from the inside of the brush and stained the tip of the brush.
Wu Qi took the thing handed over by Laikaon, thought for a second, and then wrote two oriental characters "Wu Qi" on the empty door plate with a big stroke of the pen.
Laikaon grabbed the name number in Wu Qi's hand, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes revealed the meaning of "I don't understand what characters Wu Qi wrote at all", and after taking a look, he hung Wu Qi's name and door number on the door of the house.
"Okay, welcome to the hunting party, by the way, what's your name?" Laikaon held out his wolf claw to Wu Qi.
Wu Qi shook Laikaon's wolf claw and said, "My name is Wu Qi." Wu, Qi. ”
"Hmm." Laikaon answered, and Wu Qi didn't know if he remembered it or not, but it didn't matter.
"Next...... Come with me and get the bow. Wu, Qi, you used to use a long knife, I don't know if you used a bow or not, but the rule of Lord Harvey's hunting team is that all hunters must use bows and arrows in hunting, unless it is a matter of life and death. Lekaon said as he walked.
Wu Qi glanced at the long knife on his back and asked, "I know with the bow, can I ask the reason behind this?" ”
"The reason is simple, you will understand if you have used the 'real arrow'."
There was something in Lekaon's tone, so Wu Qi stopped asking, and silently followed Lekaon to the armory, where he took a bow and quiver, as well as a wooden arrow.
"Meet at the camp gate in 10 minutes, don't be late." Laikaon left the last sentence and left Wu Qi's eyes.
Wu Qi lowered his head and looked at the desert-colored longbow in his hand. The longbow was about the size of his body and arm span, wooden from any angle, but heavier than the same volume of metal in his hand.
Wu Qi pulled the bowstring, and the bowstring was made of the tendons of abyssal life, which was tough and difficult to pull. He figured out that if he wanted to draw the bow steadily, he would have to use the arm strength of the atavistic amplification.
"Bow ......," Wu Qi muttered to himself. He couldn't help but recall a long time ago, the last time he pulled the bow, it seemed to be when he was in Xujiazhai.
At that time, I was testing my archery skills with a group of reinforced human hunters in Xujiazhai. At a bonfire.
Wu Qi closed his eyes, and the scene of fire shining in the night seemed to appear in front of his dark eyes. Who would have thought that after a long journey, he was now far away on the other side of the world, and he was gathering with a group of hunters of different races.
Time flew by in his memory, as if it was just the next second, and the sound of Laikaon's call was heard in his ears.
Wu Qi's eyes opened and closed, he carried a longbow and a quiver on his back, and turned around and walked out.
