This is the closest thing to the sky.

Frye looked up at the sky, and the clouds seemed to be so close that he could lick the raindrop from just standing on tiptoe and sticking out his tongue. He had never seen such a sky, mysterious and awe-inspiring. He lowered his head and saw the rest of the hunters sitting together in twos and threes, looking lonely, in stark contrast to the hesitation they had been more than ten minutes earlier.

Although Dennis, as the captain, did not say anything, everyone could see his gloomy and terrifying face. The hunters knew that this was the dissatisfaction of the quasi-prince, and a hunter team of more than ten people, with a standard dragon slaying team configuration, was so frightened by a falcon that they couldn't raise their heads. If Dennis hadn't made a quick decision, I don't know how many people would have died under the claws of that falcon.

What could be more humiliating?

After this incident, even if the rest of them reached the top of the Spirit Peak safely, they lost their previous joy.

Asik patted Frye on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”

Frye was stunned: "Where to go?"

"It's okay to go inside and sit here. Asik said in a low voice, "I heard that it is the stronghold set up by the [Mountain Guards], which is our destination." ”

Frye nodded blankly and followed Asik deeper into the field. As Nicole said before, there is also a small space at the top of the Spirit Peak, half in the middle of the mountain, half exposed. It is not accurate to say that it is the center of the mountain, because they have almost reached the highest place of the Spirit Peak, and there is nothing in the mountain rock more than ten meters up.

The place where they are actually resembles a bird's beak, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.

After walking for about five minutes, the two saw a dark red color under the mountain rock, and when they walked in, they found that it was a semi-open tent. There were several dark green boxes piled up under the tent, and there was a small bed next to the box. The two glanced at each other, and this was obviously the place where the [Mountain Keeper] once rested.

"I thought it was just something, but I didn't expect him to be asleep here. Asik muttered, "It's too enjoyable, but it's not cold, the rain is leaking." ”

The sheets were wet, and the tent didn't cover the raindrops. If you were to compare this place to a house, it would be one of those thatched huts that leak rain everywhere.

"It doesn't rain every day. "If it rains, the [Mountain Keepers] won't come here, and there is not even a quilt here, so apparently the [Mountain Keepers] don't rest here very often, only occasionally." ”

"You're right. Asik nodded, "But it doesn't have much to do with us. We're just here to find someone, and those missing guys won't be here, this place is so small, it's not enough to hide two people, let alone more than a dozen people. It seems that our journey is over, report to Dennis and probably leave after a while. ”

"Leaving in a moment?" Frye was stunned, "but we haven't found anyone yet." ”

"If you can't find it here, you can't find it anywhere else. Asik tapped his fingers on the box and said nonchalantly, "If you want to keep looking, unless you go through the entire Spirit Peak." But that's unrealistic, not to mention the weather, you should know that there are new quests in the quest bar of the hall headquarters almost every day on top of the old ones, so why would the hall put so many hunters in this kind of place to find people. ”

Asik paused, and then said: "Actually, if it weren't for this mission, a team was temporarily pulled out by Lord Dennis, the prospective prince, and our batch of graduates would have gone to all corners of the continent to carry out missions after graduation. ”

Frye was silent. Ten minutes ago, he would have been excited about this arrangement, because he always wanted to prove himself. In front of those instructors, in front of colleagues who look down on their age, hunt to prove who is the best hunter.

But now—

Asik opened the unlocked box: "The dragons have returned, this is something that everyone knows. Our graduating class received the least training and faced the most things. Actually, I regret being a hunter, after this mission is over, I will go back to my father, and go to run a sports car with him, if you have the opportunity to go to Silverlight City, maybe you can see me at the station, I will buy a batch of good horses, if you want to pull the car I will give you a discount. ”

Frye was a little unresponsive: "What did you say, you are not a hunter anymore?"

"yes. Yo, the quilt is here, it's quite thick, and that guy might really sleep on it a lot. Asik took the quilt out of the box and threw it on the bed, "Because I suddenly realized that I might not be a hunter, and you have ever seen a hunter who climbs a mountain with great difficulty?" ”

Frye didn't know what to say. Asik was his only friend at the Hunter Academy, as he never despised his age, and he never laughed at his obesity. In a sense, they are two people who are sympathetic to each other, so they sympathize with each other.

In fact, it doesn't matter what body type or age it is. If they really cared about this, the two of them would have dropped out of the academy a long time ago. Frye knew that what really scared them was death, and for hunters, death was an inevitable topic, but they never expected death to be so close to them, only a few meters away.

But he still wanted to persuade Asik. At this moment, however, he saw Asik's face change abruptly, and the latter stared at the box with a shocked and terrified expression. He also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and looked into the box.

When he saw the contents of the box, he felt a churn in his stomach, and he pursed his lips so that he didn't let himself vomit. Asik didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly closed the box back, and then he remembered something, and opened the rest of the boxes, and found that they were all the same thing.

Fry finally couldn't help it and threw it up.

He finally knew where the missing people had gone.
