Chapter 212: The Village of the Wind and the Mountains
Ever since boarding the airship, the pork chop has been hiding in the cabin, tinkering with its explosives.
Considering that the real target of this hunt was the nimble beetle, the pork chop did not make a powerful large explosive bomb like the previous two times.
Instead, a lot of miniature explosives were made that were not so much used to kill and injure, but to interfere with and lure the enemy.
- In this hunt, its mission is to assist Julius and attract the attention of the heavy beetle.
This miniature explosive projectile, which is less than the size of a fist, shows a pretty good "provocation" effect in the hunt for a horned dragon, and does not affect the hunter in melee combat.
At present, it has been stereotyped as a pork chop and exists as a commonly used model.
Shooter hunters are mostly interested in this "ringing" item, and Nadia is no exception.
After discovering that the pork chop is blending a bomb she has never seen before, she also comes over to study it with her.
One person and one cat get along happily.
After a simple exchange, it can be found that Natya's personality is not as "wild" as her appearance, but rather gentle and mature.
Think about it, if it is a suffocating huntress like Oshura or Henier, facing a calm and rigid Julius, who is sometimes easily misunderstood as "yin and yang".
There may be a fight.
Julius didn't know how Gordon was mentally arranging himself, he walked into the cabin and said to the others: "I can already see Sky Mountain, pack our bags, we're almost there." ”
"Meow?"
After hearing this, the pork chop hurriedly poured the last bit of gunpowder powder into the bullet casing made of hollow fruit.
With Nadia's help, the lead was installed and the upper void was sealed with waterproof beeswax, and another miniature explosive bomb was made.
"Pork chops are amazing!" Nadia rubbed her little pork chop head and got up to check her huge bag.
Like every good marksman, Nadia likes to prepare as many magazines as she can, and this time she will need to hunt multiple beetles, which will be a long battle, so be prepared and prepared.
Gordon had no luggage to prepare, and with the Blaster on his back, he went to the deck with Julius.
The airship was flying above the sea of clouds, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white.
Gordon asked Julius, "Where is the Sky Mountain?" ”
Julius didn't answer him, just stuck out his hand and pointed ahead.
Gordon looked into the distance, only to find that at the end of the sea of clouds in front of him, sharp peaks pierced the sea of clouds, like a huge stone tablet erected by the gods, standing in the distance.
Unlike the vitality of the Shuretsen Hill, the daunting Latea Volcano, and the magnificence of the vast desert.
Straight into the sky, the sky mountain with smoke and clouds has a sacred beauty that makes the soul tremble.
At this time, Gordon suddenly felt a sense of happiness in his heart, glad that he had become a hunter.
Otherwise, such a view may only appear in a dream.
Nadia and the pork chop also came to the deck, and joined Gordon and the others to watch this spectacle, no matter how many times they watched it, and how long they watched it, they would never get tired of watching it.
Time passed slowly, and they had entered the steep peaks, as if they could reach out and touch the green plants that grew strong on the cliffs.
The airship continued to fly close to the sea of clouds, without the slightest intention of descending.
As soon as Gordon had a hint of doubt in his mind, Julius said, "Here we are." ”
The airship obliquely bypassed a dangerous peak like a stone pillar, and a hidden village above the sea of clouds appeared in front of them.
Rare buildings, colorful sails and windmills fluttering in the wind, and emerald green terraces looming in the sea of clouds.
It's a paradise built on a hilltop platform.
"Wow!"
Gordon's mouth was wide open like a shark.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there could be a village in the mountains above such clouds.
"I always thought that the village of Synard was at the foot of the Sky Mountain." Gordon took matters into his own hands.
Julius raised his hand, "This statement is actually true, 'Sky Mountain' can refer to both the mountains and mountains in the vicinity, and the highest peak in particular. ”
Gordon looked in the direction of Julius' finger,
There was a solitary peak that was particularly high, like the tip of a spear, pointing straight to the sky.
Faintly visible between the clouds and mist, a thin rope bridge starts from the hilltop platform where the village of Synard is located, and ends on the mountainside of Sky Mountain, setting up in the sky, connecting the two places.
Looking at the terrifying angle of more than sixty degrees at the end of the rope bridge, and then looking at the vertical cliff of Sky Mountain, Gordon's eyes jumped fiercely.
Is this bridge really for people to walk on? Is the mountain really climbable?
"What, let me confirm in advance, the 'Sky Mountain' mentioned by our target hunting ground should be this mountain range in a broad sense, not the lone peak, right?"
"Poof~!" Nadia couldn't help but laugh.
Julius glanced at Gordon helplessly, "'That's' the temple on the Sky Mountain is headed by a monk, do you think anyone can go up casually?"
The hunting grounds are of course in the mountains around here! ”
"That's good, that's good."
While a few people were chattering, the airship slowly docked on a rocky platform on the edge of the village of Synard.
When the airship stopped, Gordon didn't bother to use the gangway and jumped off the deck one after another.
"Oops, welcome, welcome, you're finally here!"
Before Gordon could take a look around, a young male dracon approached them, who came across as amiable and reliable.
He was dressed in a thick cloth coat that made it easy to move, a small windmill like a toy stuck in his waist, and in a huge bamboo basket behind him were placed farm tools such as sickles, and some plants that Gordon did not recognize, possibly some kind of herb.
Gordon immediately had a guess in his mind - this should be the commissioner of the task, "an amiable young farmer".
What an accurate description.
As the direct recipient of the mission and the captain of this temporary team, Julius stepped forward.
He shook the young man's hand, "Hello, we are hunters from Dondoruma, I am Julius the Twin Sword, she is Natia the Light Crossbow, this is Gordon the Great Swordsman, and his hunting cat partner, Pork Chop. ”
The young man shook hands with them one by one, and he didn't miss even the pork chops.
"May the wind guide you. It's really hard for everyone to come all the way, you must be tired along the way, right? Rest at my house tonight and recharge your batteries! ”
"Then I'm sorry for you." Julius nodded at the dragon-man youth.
Gordon was a little surprised by Julius's respectful attitude, and considering the task slip with a lot of slots, Gordon felt that the young man's identity should not be easy.
Maybe he's the head of the village?
If this is the case, it is not surprising that Jiangbo Village, which has gained fame in recent years in the southeast of the mainland, is also said to have been established by a very young dragon clan village head.
When Gordon left the village of Kokot, the old village chief suggested that he could go there to develop.
Just then, a breeze hit.
All the villagers, including the dragon youth, stopped what they were doing and closed their eyes to enjoy the moist and refreshing breeze.
The windmill on his waist whirred and turned.
After the breeze passed, a smile of joy appeared on the face of the dragon man.
"Feng Bu is auspicious, this time you will go well!"
Ps.
Personally, I think MH4 is really the best and fullest plot work, and it's been almost ten years since this moment - the plot impression is a little blurred
The timeline of the Black Eclipse Dragon's rebellion hasn't started yet, so Shinard Village is still peaceful~
Anyway, what is the real name of the monk? It shouldn't have been mentioned in the original book, right?
