Chapter 21: The Great-winged Bat

Scarlet and Gui Qingchen had just pushed open the door, and before they had time to take a closer look at the interior of the building, three teenagers of about their age walked towards them menacingly.

When Gui Qingchen saw it, he immediately stood in front of the scarlet man: "What's the matter, don't the hunters of the participating countries welcome people from other countries?"

Seeing this, the three of them were silent for a while, looked at each other and bowed at the same time, and said, "Little sister, please help us!"

"Hmm, what's the situation?" Gui Qingchen thought he was looking for fault, but he came to ask for help, "But you guys are too fierce." ”

"Oh, the young lady looks better than us, and she was afraid of being rejected, so she mustered up the courage to come over. The young man surnamed Zhuang scratched his head embarrassedly. When Gui Qingchen saw his small movements, he suddenly thought of Yuan Shanghan for a moment.

“...... Call me Scarlet, nineteen this year, we should be about the same age. "Do you look older? Why are you always called sister, Scarlet thought to herself.

"It's only nineteen?ah, I'm sorry, it should be called a little sister, it's not right, it should be my predecessor in terms of rank, hmm...... Oh, then I'll just call it Scarlet. The young man surnamed Zhuang gave up after a while, "I'm Zhuang Ze, one year older than you." Here are Chongqiyuan and Fengyuyun, the same year as you, and then the three of us are all iron crescents. He introduced the two people around him to Scarlet.

"Gui Qingchen, eighteen earthy bronze medal half moon!" Gui Qingchen introduced himself.

“......”

Fengyuyun with pigtails looked at Zhuang Ze and Chongqiyuan, who were embarrassed to speak, and said to Gui Qingchen: "Qingchen. . . We're going to invite only the Scarlet Girls of the Fire Family, one because the pay is too much, and the other is ...... You're a little lower-level, and you're not very good at increasing your combat power. ”

"......" Gui Qingchen was not allowed to participate for the first time, but, in order to grow quickly, "It's okay, I don't need compensation, what I need is experience, when I'm a sentry." ”

Scarlet originally wanted to persuade them to invite Gui Qingchen, and he could give half of his share to Qingchen, but it seems that now Gui Qingchen knows what he really lacks. "Don't worry, Qingchen can still block it...... Pretty stoppable?"

"Uh-huh, Sister Xiao'er, even if you praise me reluctantly, you can't use a question sentence!"

"I'm sorry," Scarlet said apologetically, "What kind of commission? She turned to Zhuang Ze and asked.

"Big-winged bats, variants endemic to Samkoku, with their wings fully spread up to a meter long, dwell in black holes. Other blows can also be effective, but when there are too many of them, only fire can completely suppress them. ”

"The inhabitants near the commission point can gradually see them on the plains, I am afraid that there are quite a few of them, if they are not solved in the near future, one day they will flock out, I am afraid that it will be ......," Chongqiyuan added on the side.

Scarlet thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agreed, but we still have a partner in Shelter City, so I have to go and explain to him first." ”

"Thank you in advance, then we will leave tomorrow, you just need to bring weapons, see you at the city gate at sunrise?"

"See you at the gates at sunrise!"

Out of the station, Scarlet and Gui Qingchen found Yuan Shanghan.

"Wow, no, I'm sad that you actually left me to take the commission. Enjohan said after listening to what had happened at the hunter's station. "But it's okay for you to go, it just so happened that I found a new business opportunity today, you go to commission, and I will explore the commercial law of the participating countries. This is also his truth, after all, he has some experience in this business, and the reward alone will not be able to achieve Yuanshanghan's future plans.

"Hey, seeing that my brother Shanghan is so lonely, why don't we bring something special back?"

"Well, I'll bring you a roast bat. Scarlet patted Yuan Shanghan's shoulder and comforted.

"Huh??" Gui Qingchen never thought of giving the ugly thing in the dark to Yuan Shanghan as a specialty.

Yuan Shanghan was stunned, looked at the serious scarlet and smiled bitterly: "...... Oh, if I really eat this thing, I'm afraid it will be poisoned. ”

"Well, I'm kidding. Scarlet was still expressionless.

“......”

Gui Qingchen raised his forehead, this is over, there is a person who tells cold jokes from time to time, and there is another person who says a joke or the truth, it seems that this team is just a serious person, alas.

At sunrise the next day, Scarlet and Gui Qingchen stood by the city gate with weapons on their backs, and Zhuang Ze and the other three appeared in front of them with a carriage: "If you take the carriage, if you hurry up, you can get to the commission point in the afternoon, and you can come back tomorrow." He beckoned the two men to get into the carriage and prepare to leave.

As soon as Scarlet got into the carriage, he saw several large barrels, and sniffed them closely: "Fuel?"

"Set fire to the mountain?!" Gui Qingchen was stunned.

"How is it possible," Feng Fengyun smiled, "the nests that the big-winged bats will choose are generally relatively deep burrows, and in order to have the feeling of a colony, the entrance to their nests will not be too open, we want to block them at the narrowest passage and trap them in the nest and burn them out." ”

"Isn't that easy?

"The oxygen in the cave is thin, and if there is no fire attribute that can control the fire, the fire will be extinguished by them in a moment. ”

"Wouldn't that be able to completely seal off the passage?"

"Naturally, this is the time when we need to solve those fish that have slipped through the net. But what the specific situation is, we still have to go and talk about it. Stormy clouds ended the conversation and began to pack up the items they needed to go down to the cave.

As Zhuang Ze said, after arriving at the foot of the mountain at noon, the five of them traveled lightly up the mountain, and in about an hour they found the cave where the big-winged bat was entrenched.

Zhuang Ze carried a torch and entered the cave, and then the scarlet man held a bow and arrow to guard against every crisis in the dark, Chongqiyuan and Gui Qingchen each carried a bucket of fuel and walked in the middle, and at the end was the wind and rain clouds that could make good decisions. The group groped their way forward in silence.

At first, the passage was three meters high and wide enough for three people to walk side by side, but as it deepened, the surrounding walls gradually appeared to converge in the middle. When I could only bend down, the road not far ahead came to an abrupt end. Zhuang Ze turned around and shouted to stop, and he carefully probed forward alone, while he carefully observed up and down, left and right, and before he could take ten steps, a hole in the ground suddenly opened, and the passage extended almost vertically downward.

Zhuang Ze waved his torch and motioned for them to follow, and when everyone gathered at the entrance of the underground cave, he said, "I'll go down with Scarlet to see what the situation is, and you can help keep an eye on the neighborhood." As he spoke, he took out a bundle of thick rope and pitons from his bag, knocked the pitons to the ground, tied the thick ropes tightly, and the two climbed down one after the other.

The vertical hole was less than five meters, and the scarlet man on the flat ground instantly frowned, looking at the dark passage in front of him. While Zhuang Ze shook the rope, the two barrels of fuel were lowered first, and the rest of the people went down to the ground one by one.

Just as Gui Qingchen's feet landed on the ground, he suddenly let go of the rope and covered his mouth and nose with both hands: "Hmm! What the hell does this smell of?!"

"A mix of carrion and excrement. Chongqiyuan said in a suppressed voice.
