The current "identity" of the worm is complicated.

First of all, she is a hunter whose strength is about two stars.

Although for various reasons, there is still a name of "apprentice", but after all, it has been trained by Gale for so long, and monsters like Sao Bird can still be solved independently, and as for three-star monsters such as Poison Bird, it is not a big problem to be careful and protect yourself.

She also has the identity of an investigator at the Institute of Ecology, and her background in biological armor and the inhabitants of Jukai has given her extraordinary ability to adapt to the wild, so the director takes a fancy to her.

At the same time, she is also the young lady of the Sterling family, the new shareholder and sponsor of the investigation team, although she is not biological, but from the letters sent from the Old World, it seems that she is more favored than a certain genuine young master.

The squad leader of the material squad mixed up in the black market nodded when he saw her

Now she has become the keeper of the wind drifter cubs, eating and sleeping with the little wind drifter, which is a project that the ecological research institute is very concerned about, and she is now basically the project leader.

"So that's why you abandoned your disciple and ran out to play by yourself?"

At the dinner table, Pork Chop confronts Gail.

"Exactly!" Gale raised his chin, not the slightest denial, nor the slightest shame.

"So, the little guy's current focus is not at all on 'becoming a hunter', and it's not interesting to break it, her strength is almost enough to protect herself, that's all."

Gale waved his hand, "I announce, Worm is out of the division!" ”

Anhill: "."

For a while, it was impossible to tell who the master and apprentice had failed whom.

"Look away." Gordon patted Anhill on the back, "Grasshopper can't change her equipment, relying on her butterfly armor, it's difficult and too dangerous to become a high-star hunter."

The direction of an investigator or a breeding researcher is actually more suitable for her. ”

Anhill sighed silently.

He is the quintessential perfectionist, either not doing it or going all the way to the dark and doing his best.

Although reason told him that Worm's choice was right, he was still a little unaccustomed to this kind of "giving up halfway".

"Have you reported to the Commander-in-Chief about the departure with us?" Hayatta asked Gail.

After all, the cycle of this free exploration mission is very long, and Gail, as a seven-star shooter, is also a very important combat force for the investigation team.

"I said it."

Gale flicked the wavy hair to his cheeks, "The Commander-in-Chief said that the target we are pursuing is dangerous, and it is good to have enough combat power.

But he also said that he hoped that we could help the scholars of the research base as much as possible, such as solving the monsters that threatened the research base.

After all, very few hunters can pass by them, and I am afraid that there is a lot of trouble. ”

"It's nature." Gordon nodded.

Their team took away half of the combat strength of the Special Investigation Team, and they were still away for a few months, and they would not be able to solve some problems for the research base by the way, but they would be a little ignorant.

"In that case, we have to prepare more ammunition." Anhill frowned and silently calculated.

"The part of the ammunition that is aimed at destroying the dragon can't be moved, and in addition to this, carry more normal bullets, three bases? It's still five bases, which should be able to cope with most cases. ”

Gail glanced sideways at him, "With so much ammunition, what are you going to bring?" ”

"Gale." Anhill's answer was succinct.

"We're going to take a pterodactyl ride on the road." Gail tugged at Gale's ears, "This guy can be carried away too?" ”

"No, it's running underneath with its baggage." Anhill took it for granted, "I will drip the smelly liquid all the way when I fly, and it won't get lost." ”

"Dripping all the way. Smelly liquids? Gail feigned horror.

Anhill stared at her, not speaking.

This kind of problem is not worth his explanation, and in the face of this kind of female hooligan, ignoring it is the best choice.

Failing to tease Anhill, Gail smacked his lips with a bored expression.

She turned around and hugged Gale's head, "Would you like to bring a few boxes of ammunition for me too?" Sister buys you something delicious! ”

"Wang!" Gale agreed without even thinking about it.

Anhill narrowed his eyes, ready to add some more weight to the waiter.

"Alright, you two don't take turns bullying Gale." Hayatta was helpless.

She could already see the gale carrying a mountain-like ammunition box on her back, her limbs trembling, and her gait difficult.

"Didn't the leader of the research team say that the land coral platform is rich in products, and many ammunition blending materials can be easily collected.

Bring less finished ammunition, just bring the necessary materials, and then collect and blend when you get there, so that the road is easier, and you will eventually make more ammunition. ”

Returning to the gale, he looked at Hayatta gratefully.

"That's a good idea." Anhill smiled and stroked Gale's dog's head.

"So I can bring an extra crossbow, and I can save all the weight with gunpowder, hehehehe."

"Whew."

The next few days were quite busy for Gordon and the others.

Not only equipment, ammo, but also various item supplies.

The preparation before the long journey was far more troublesome than they had originally thought.

For example, the transfer of a position.

During Gordon's absence from the stars, the duties of head of the Special Investigation Team temporarily fell to Evelyn.

As the oldest hunter in the Special Investigation Team, Evelyn, who has a lot of experience and a calm personality, must be up to the task.

Anhill also entrusted the worm to the couple, hoping that they could help take care of the girl with a lack of brains.

Among the hunters of the Special Investigation Group who remained in the Star Stronghold, only Evelyn and his wife were left.

Entrust it to someone else, and then turn around and become a drunkard and a fisherman

When everything is arranged, the day of the trip has finally arrived.

The hunters set off on a pterodactyl and flew all the way north.

It took them only a full day to cross the Ancient Tree Forest and come to the Grand Canyon, in front of the mountain range they had passed when they had captured the sour-winged dragons.

But that's where the quick and easy air journey ends.

With the flying ability of the pterosaurs, it is not difficult to fly over the Grand Canyon, but the Grand Canyon is the territory of the sour pterosaurs.

If you fly over, you will most likely be besieged by a horde of sour pterosaurs.

In the state of flying with people, the traveling pterosaur, whose speed and agility have been greatly reduced, cannot escape the pursuit of the sour pterosaur at all, and it is simply food delivered to the door.

Therefore, the pterodactyl crossing the Grand Canyon was an act of death, which made the Grand Canyon a real moat that divided the New World.

If you want to climb over this barrier, there is no way to do it, you can only climb it with your bare hands.

If it weren't for that, after the airship of the third phase of the regiment fell on the land coral plateau, those poor scholars would not have been trapped for more than ten years

After camping at the foot of the mountain for a day and a night, the gale that carried a load of baggage across the forest of ancient trees finally arrived.

Seeing that it was so tired and half dead that it stuck out its tongue and turned its belly over when it lay down, and refused to move, Gordon was embarrassed to let it help him carry his armor over the mountain.

Even if the tooth hound is known for its stamina, it can't do that.

Good food and drink were served, so that the gale was relieved for a day, and after nightfall the next day, the trip started again.

Under the cover of stealth and darkness, hunters climbed over the ridge, carefully avoiding the sour pterosaurs dormant on the mountain walls, and entered the Grand Canyon without danger.

Next, they will follow the Grand Canyon until they reach a "relatively easy pass" marked on the map.

But it was still a steep ridge with an angle of more than 70 degrees and a height of more than 1,000 meters.

On the opposite side of the mountain range is the terrestrial coral plateau, the core of the New World, known for its amazing biodiversity.
