As the youngest hunter on the team, Fry Hilko was always a little dismissive of the older hunters. Like the instructors at the Hunter Academy, most of them are disabled, such as losing an arm or a lower leg, and according to their own words, if they are not disabled and unable to hunt, they will not come to teach Frye, who knows nothing.
True, the instructors called the cadets mentally retarded. They were always so high-minded, snorting at the students' unfamiliar movements while smoking pipes. So Fry didn't like them, and he thought that the instructors were just older than him, and that their hunting career was just a little bit older than him, and that they were nothing. If I had their age, I would have achieved more than them.
Hunting, you just need to do it step by step according to the teachings, he always thought so.
Until now.
He watched as the guy who was crawling in front of him was pounced on by the falcon and fell. He knew exactly what was down there, it was the abyss, and it had taken them two days to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top, and the guy would be back to the bottom of the mountain in an instant, broken to pieces.
The bloody scene came to his mind, making his body tremble uncontrollably, and he could only hold on to the rope and dare not move. The falcon was still soaring in the rain, ready to attack again, and he even wanted to bury his head in the mud they had trodden on to keep it from staring at him.
At this time, everything you learned in the academy can only be forgotten.
"Phew-"
The falcon's long and mournful cry was mixed with the sound of a thunderstorm, as if mocking, mocking the hunters who could not lift their heads on its posture.
Frye felt that the cry was extremely harsh, piercing through the eardrums and reaching people's hearts. He hated his cowardice and incompetence, and hated why he didn't listen to his parents and honestly farmed at home.
His mind was very confused, and he could vaguely hear Dennis shouting something below, but he couldn't really hear it. He was more concerned about whether the falcon would see him as his next target, he tilted his head slightly, looked up, and saw the falcon wandering in the clouds for dozens of seconds, and then swooping down again.
Fry's heart rose to his throat, the falcon's target was himself!
He was so frightened that his whole body was chills and he didn't know what to do. I just watched the dot get bigger and bigger, and the falcon's sharp beak became clearer and clearer. He seemed to be able to see his fate, and after the guy before, he fell into the endless abyss-
At this time, a low roar came from his ear: "Get down." ”
He didn't know who the voice belonged to, because his mind was completely confused. Anyone told him to do anything, he would do it, as long as he could survive, and he was already lying here, pouting his ass like a piglet eating.
The man stepped on his shoulder, and he sank so hard that he barely grasped the rope. Then he saw a long sword swing, splitting the rain curtain and making a sharp arc in the air. The next moment, the falcon's chirping exploded in his ears, but this time it was more like a wailing than before.
He saw dripping blood on the back of his hand. He was stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and saw that the falcon's beak was close to him.
It's just that the falcon is already dead, and he was impaled through the body by hunters. And the hunter was unscathed, standing in the torrential rain, just like the top of the spiritual peak that had stood for thousands of years in front of him.
"Usually after graduating from the academy, hunters also have to take on some simple tasks first, and see blood before they can be counted as a real hunter. Dennis said to Nicole, "But the hunters that the academy stuffed me this time are all just graduated from the academy, as if they can do anything, but in fact, they can't do anything, in that situation just now, they only dare to shrink and tremble, what's the use?"
Nicole pursed her lips and didn't answer, Dennis was rarely angry. Unlike Ian, he was born into a noble hunter family, and although no one taught etiquette, he also had a good personality under his ears. After all, the era of iron-blooded hunters has been gone for a long time, and the Granger family is more of a merchant family than a hunter family.
But now, Dennis finally couldn't hold his breath, except that he didn't scold it directly, but the anger was almost written on his face. A team of hunters of more than ten people, when the prey was just a falcon, everyone was trembling with fright, like lambs to the slaughter.
"Anyone, with a little guts, holding a dagger in his hand, can take a single blow at the falcon as it swoops down. Dennis said in a low voice, "What is the result? If it weren't for my quick reaction, God knows how many hunters a falcon could have taken." ”
"There's no way around it. Nicole reassured, "After all, they've just graduated." In fact, in previous years, their group had not yet graduated, and in the academy they had learned more theory, and not all hunters faced the dragon king at the beginning like us. ”
Dennis said, "I don't blame them, it's just that the guys from the Hunter Academy should make it clear." Sending such a group of hunters here is not pushing people into the fire pit? Our opponent this time is very likely to be the Dragon King, what is the point of sending these people here except to add a few more names to the death list?"
Nicole finally understood what Dennis was worried about. He was worried about the lives of these hunters, just as in Telmis, the hunters of the King-Killing Team were more powerful than the hunters of this team. In the end, only Ian, Nicole, and Dennis survived.
"Shouldn't I have brought them here?" said Dennis in a low voice, "I brought them here like I brought them to death." ”
Nicole was stunned, she could see the exhaustion and self-blame in her husband's expression.
"I told Ian six months ago when he left that I wanted him to bring the team back in its entirety. Dennis said softly, "At the time, I didn't think about how difficult it was, until now, these people's lives are all in my hands, and I understand that many things are not as simple as words, if I could-"
