A few kilometers off the coastline of the New World, a seagoing ship anchored and anchored here.

On the deck, Azi, dressed as a transformed ice shark, glanced at the length of the chain on the winch and roughly judged the depth of the seabed here.

His expression became a little embarrassed, "It's a little deep." ”

Behind him, a young hunter with similar equipment but a more restrained style.

He is a fellow villager of Az, named Moka, a four-star hunter who is one of the members of the Fifth Phase, and is also a sea people.

If it weren't for his arrival, Az wouldn't have known that there were admirers of him among the young sea people of Moga Village, and there were several more young people in the village who chose to become hunters.

Everyone is fashioned with the Transforming Ice Shark suit.

This set of armor is really useful and practical for sea people who are good at water warfare, of course, there is not a young sea folk who can hunt countless shape-shifting ice sharks like Az and select materials to create the shape-shifting ice shark X (upper position).

But the regular version of the Shapeshifting Ice Shark also has quite good performance.

"Brother Az, the ocean currents around here are also very chaotic, can you really find the shipwreck?" Moka stared at the surface of the sea for a moment, muttering.

"It's hard to say, you have to try it, so many precious materials and equipment have fallen below, and it is a little bit that can be salvaged." Azi said, pulling down the fully sealed full-cover visor.

Moka also took a deep breath as he slowly, and the two seafolk jumped into the sea one after the other.

The huge volcanic rocks discovered by Feng Ying and Ai Bo provided the direction for the investigation team.

Under the arrangement of the commander-in-chief, several investigation teams have adjusted their investigation plans to focus on exploring the adjacent areas where volcanic rocks occur.

Days passed, and the information gathered by the various investigation teams and academics was aggregated to the headquarters.

The commander-in-chief convenes the heads of various departments and conducts a meeting.

Informed Gordon hurried to the headquarters, and in addition to the familiar old faces, Gordon also spotted a figure he hadn't expected.

"Feng Ying? Are you also coming to the meeting? ”

Feng Ying hugged her chest and puffed out, "Really, Master Gordon, how can I say that I am also the head of the fifth regiment!" ”

Gordon opened his mouth and pointed at Feng Ying to look at the pork chop behind him, with a face, "Just this guy?" The stunned expression.

Pork Chop's ears twitched, "After all, she is the strongest meow among the hunters of the fifth phase of the group, and a while ago I did hear a member of the fifth phase of the group shouting 'group leader' when greeting her."

Some people also call her 'Lord White Wind'. ”

"White Wind. My lord? Gordon repeated the honorific title.

Feng Ying was also a little embarrassed at this time, she explained with a dry smile, "'White Wind' is, it is our title in the Old World, of course no one here in the New World has heard of hahaha."

As for 'adult' or something, maybe that member of the group is a Shikoku person, and he is more accustomed to using this title? ”

Gordon rubbed his chin and pondered the meaning of the title "White Wind."

The symbol of the wind is nothing more than "fast", which is completely worthy of today's wind and shine, what does "white" refer to? Similar to Hayata's "Red Blade", is it the color of vindictiveness in some situation?

It seems that in some areas of the north, "white wind" also has the meaning of a blizzard, or maybe this is the meaning?

As he pondered, the Commander-in-Chief walked briskly into the headquarters.

He seemed to hear some exchanges between Feng Ying and Gordon, patted her on the back as he walked past Feng Ying, and said with a smile, "I hope that one day, you can also become the 'White Wind of the New World', I believe that day will not be too far away."

Okay, the people are also due, start the meeting. ”

The crowd that had been whispering quietly fell silent.

"Based on the clues found by the investigation team in the Ancient Tree Forest, the scholars deduced that the direction of the molten mountain dragon should be to the east, that is, the Great Ant Mound Wasteland.

The next investigation center will be transferred there, and I will arrange for a group of scholars to go there in advance, and the Great Ant Grave Wasteland has not been quiet recently, and their team needs the protection of hunters.

Is the adaptability training of the hunters of the fifth phase almost complete? ”

The commander-in-chief's words were asked by looking at Gordon and Feng Ying, one of them is the squad leader of the investigation team, and theoretically the "head" of all the field investigators of the investigation team, and the other is the head of the fifth phase of the group, and the newcomers are all members of her team.

"The hunters are no longer a problem." Gordon nodded and said, "The hunters of the fifth phase group are also veterans, they adapt quickly, and they can already devote themselves to various tasks.

However, some of the compilers have no previous experience in field operations and may need to get used to it for a while. ”

He did not mean to look down on the codifiers, but it was true.

There was no profession of "compiler" in the Old World, and the new compilers who came to the New World were basically members of the scrivener team, young scholars, or civil servants such as Kanban Niang, who performed well.

With the exception of the scriveners of the scrivener corps, who will participate in field investigations, few of them have experience in field operations.

Even if you have undergone intensive training before coming to the New World, at least in terms of basic physical fitness, it will take a while to become a mature compiler.

"Is that so?" The Commander-in-Chief thought for a moment, "No hindrance, let the codifiers continue to operate with their partner hunters, while emphasizing training in concealment, self-preservation."

We don't have time for the codifiers to get used to it, we have to let them grow in practice. ”

After all, the investigators and predecessors of the various regiments in previous years also came over like this.

"Understood."

"I would also like to remind everyone to let the experienced members help the inexperienced newcomers more." Feng Ying added.

After the commander-in-chief nodded, he said in a serious tone: "Right now, the fifth phase of the regiment has just arrived in the New World, there are too many places that need manpower, and the material gap caused by the shipwreck also needs to be filled urgently.

Unfortunately, we can't put too much manpower into the Molten Mountain Dragon, but this matter can't be ignored, so we decided to send a small number of elites to follow up all the way.

Feng Ying, you are responsible for investigating the traces and behavior of the molten mountain dragon, and you will lead the members of the recommendation team to escort the scholars' convoy to the Great Ant Grave Wasteland and carry out an investigation. ”

"Understood." Feng Ying replied simply.

"Material squad leader, has the list of lost materials been sorted out?"

The material squad leader looked tired, and dark circles could even be seen on his dark-skinned face.

"Sorted out, the rest of the parts are okay, the main loss is a large number of gunpowder raw materials, as well as the equipment of elite hunters.

I've asked Azi to salvage as much as he can, hoping to get at least a few pieces of equipment, but as for the gunpowder raw materials, they must be useless. ”

The expression on Feng Ying's face switched back and forth between disappointment and anticipation, which was very complicated.

The commander-in-chief thought for a few seconds and said, "Arrange personnel to step up the collection, the director of the Plant Research Institute, suspend the plan to cultivate other plants with our ancient trees, and make every effort to give birth to fire herbs."

We may have a big war next, and gunpowder is the most critical material, and it cannot be lacking.

The head of the second regiment, the processing house, has recently shifted its focus to the creation of artillery shells and heavy crossbow bolts.

The material squad leader shall record and report on the reserves of these strategic materials at any time. ”

"Understood!" Everyone should be.

At the end of the meeting, Gordon suddenly raised his hand.

The commander-in-chief turned his gaze.

"Commander-in-Chief, I apply to be out for a while."

"Why?"

"Our Special Investigation Team had just arrived in the New World, and had an encounter with the Ancient Dragonmen in the Ancient Tree Forest, and he was vague at the time, but mentioned that 'chaos had descended' and 'a few years later'.

He may know something about the Molten Mountain Dragon, and I'm going to investigate it myself. ”

"Turning to the ancient dragonmen? That's really an idea. The commander-in-chief nodded in approval, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Ps.

There are so many more "people in charge" than in the plot of the game, and the progress of the investigation will definitely be accelerated, otherwise Feng Ying will work alone, and it will be too mysterious for the other members to fish
