Li Ming's insistence on observation soon won the favor of the residents and the hunters stationed in the village.

After all, in the current situation, how could anyone expect the monster to appear.

It is rightfully determined that it is a conscientious duty to the garrison contract.

At noon, a member of the caravan climbed the mountain to the shelter cave and came to the counter to submit the commission.

The caravan transportation path will basically choose the border area of the crack where monsters are not often infested.

However, in the context of the massive migration of monsters, these areas will instead become high-risk areas.

After a natural disaster, the restoration of transportation is especially important for villages and towns, so the guild branch will usually take the initiative to clear the threat of transportation routes.

This type of contract is usually completed by the resident hunter and requires a very short time limit.

The client also does not have to pay any fees, as long as there is detailed sighting information.

All in order to make the transportation of villages and towns smooth as soon as possible.

Similar requests have been handled several times by the receptionist Metti recently.

The difference this time is that the target that needs to be eliminated is a water beast that has blocked the transportation route.

Li Ming was extremely excited when he learned about it.

Mety also reminded that the contract time limit is only five days, and of course the hunting site is not too far away.

In addition, due to the serious shortage of manpower in the guild, it was not possible to call investigators for certification after the contract was completed.

"So how do you certify hunting?"

Li Ming was puzzled.

"You can try to transport the monster corpse back, or cut it and bring back some key materials."

"Will the Freight Guild reimburse?"

"No, but there will be no material share."

"I see."

Li Ming was stunned.

As a result of the chain reaction caused by the closure of the base, many routine assistance such as updating regional ecological information, information transmission, and distribution of supplies will be ineffective.

However, the necessary hunting activities are still carried out by hunter squads.

The guild is unable to provide the support provided for by the regulations, and it is indeed unreasonable to seek a share of the materials.

It is better to let go of the terms and motivate the hunter squad.

After a short period of preparation, the team set off.

In the evening of the same day, they rushed to the area of the sighting report, a muddy forest path.

See broken trucks stuck in the mud on the side of the road, as well as scattered goods.

Li Ming speculated that the water beast should be nearby.

However, in order to maintain the smooth flow of transportation routes, many hunter squads have appeared here recently, and there is a high probability that the water beasts have been alerted.

After all, the resident hunters in Jieyun Village are still relatively tough.

So once again, the strategy of camouflaging the caravan was chosen.

In the middle of the night, three cat cars traveling in a line were blocked by a dark shadow.

Looking at its silhouette, it looks like a giant lizard.

Whoop~whoa~

A threatening roar rang out.

Those who stand at the forefront of the caravan do not retreat, but advance.

Tear off the hood of your raincoat with one hand and light up the front with a lamp in the other.

"Really?"

Chu Ying's inquiry sounded from behind.

"Yes."

Li Ming threw his raincoat into the air.

The water beast that was blocking the way, seeing the blue electric light illuminating the surroundings, suddenly felt that something was not right.

"It's finally waiting for you."

Li Ming under the blue light looked a little terrifying in the eyes of the water beast.

But it has come to see this as its own territory.

In the face of creatures that pass through it at will, unless it is the kind that has absolutely no chance of winning, it will not be easy to let go.

The water beast crawled quickly with its four claws, and rushed in.

Chu Ying showed the muzzle of the tight syringe, and Ni Shuang played the hunting flute.

Oh!

"Ahh

One man and one dragon collided head-on.

After a while, the water beast with a serene demeanor hitched a ride on the three cat carts,

Li Ming also obtained the [Spongy Supersaturated Water Storage] that he had been thinking about for a long time.

After stuffing the loading fog ball, replace it with a water beast gauntlet with a large bright yellow sponge.

Two catheter needles are inserted into the skin to complete the docking.

Whenever you encounter a puddle, you will probe in and inhale with both palms.

As the surface of the water settles rapidly, the spongy mass of the water expands.

Li Ming pinched his fist and charged his strength, using [Water Flow Booster Jet] to guide the flow direction, and the overflowing water flow on the gauntlet quickly wrapped the fist.

"I can't splash the monster with this punch."

Li Ming opened his palm, and the water flowed back to the gauntlet, and part of it was scattered to the ground.

The pier body observed that the water flow dissolved the soil sand and gravel very weakly, which indicated that the content of dissolving agent in the aqueous solution was very low.

Without higher-level water attribute materials, the increase can only rely on improving purity.

But Li Ming was not surprised.

Because even if it is a water-attribute weapon, it is only through the dissolving agent in the energy injector that is injected into the water accumulated by the weapon in proportion that the water-attribute solution can be reconciled to achieve the standard.

The ability to generate solvents on his own is something he has not yet mastered.

However, the guild's method of refining the raw materials of the dissolving agent provides an idea.

That is, a large amount of water flows through a circulation system composed of multiple water bags, and the white precipitate extracted is the raw material of the solvent.

This idea is probably to imitate the internal circulation of monsters, so as to form similar outputs.

Li Ming, who focuses on developing his body, is very familiar with this method.

Moreover, he has accumulated a lot of experience in generating venom from various organ bags for a long time, and he feels that there should be a possibility of reappearance in the body.

As for the materials needed, the water beasts in the car are the best source.

The retreat cave was naturally not a place to do research, so Li Ming simply set up a tent on the mountainside platform and kept the corpses of water beasts with him every day.

If you don't know what you don't know, go to the craftsmen or scholars in the cave to discuss and study.

Although everyone couldn't understand Li Ming's research, they were still happy to help.

Soon, two closed circulating water bladders with catheters were loaded onto the side gauntlets.

Gollum~

Li Ming used the [Water Booster Jet] as the drive, and the two water bags immediately began to flow rapidly, conveying each other alternately.

With such a small structure, no one can think of producing solvent raw materials.

But only Li Ming knew that he himself was part of the generative structure.

After another ten days, the water level retreated to a safe position, and there was no abnormal movement on the side of Lingfeng.

The residents finally ended their evacuation life and returned to the Yukumo stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

This is the end of the Ruthless Squad Guard contract, and the return journey begins with the residents cheering them off.

Three days later, across the sedan van, two cat cars arrived.

"The flag of this cat cart is like a meow from the warm camp."

The front room of the van, Midodo said in amazement.

"The neat cat armor is also similar to a meow."

Bubu agreed.

"Well, that's the armed team in the camp, hey!"

Li Ming immediately waved his hand.

"It's Li Ming! Sorry meow, we're going to Jieyun Village to rescue you now, we don't have time. Yes? ”

Eller, who was standing on the cat's car, quickly sensed that something was wrong.

After some exchanges, I learned that the team had not returned, and there was news of a natural disaster in Jieyun Village.

The tribe decided to send an armed team to launch the "Save the Ruthless Squad" operation.

Seeing the tired appearance of the cats, Li Ming was a little moved, but he still persuaded him: "Thank you very much, but similar things are very dangerous, don't try it easily in the future." ”

"This is a meow decided by everyone together, everyone is very worried about you, I am really afraid that after a certain trip to hunt, I will never come back."

Eller said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen, everyone help load the cat cart on the roof of the car, let's go home!"

As the cat cart tops up the truck, the armed team enters the compartment and the squad continues on its way.

Four days later, early in the morning, warm ocean camp.

Knife Spine paced back and forth anxiously in front of the door of the two-story wooden house.

The ruthless team lost contact, and the cat and cat armed team that went to the rescue have not heard from them so far.

All kinds of bad possibilities are constantly circling in his brain.

"Meow back! Meow is back! ”

As an Ailu cat ran and shouted, a large number of cat's heads poked out of the cabins and tents.

When he came to the wooden fence and saw the returning truck, the knife ridge finally breathed a sigh.

"I knew you were okay, so I wasn't worried at all."

Knife Spine said calmly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, there are a total of 19 cats brought back this time, all of them are in the stream area, and the roster is here."

"Thanks, that cat should be very insecure. How did you change your jet to a hydration bladder? Or two? ”

Knife Spine asked suspiciously.

If you wear various poison bags, it is understandable to store venom.

Wearing a water bag, in addition to the convenience of drinking water, you can't think of other uses.

"This is a brand new attempt, by the way, the team needs a large number of thunder light insects, if the reserves are insufficient, can they be directly purchased from the cat chamber of commerce in the tribe?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course, it's okay to swap out materials with too much inventory, uh. Squad this is going to be? ”

Knife Spine had a sense of foreboding.

"The next target is to bubble the fox dragon."

"Feeling. It's in such a hurry. ”

"Not too fast when you count the time it takes to find an emergency contract."

"That's right, the team is not five-star yet, and it's normal to prepare in advance."

Knife Spine breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that blue bear beast has been sullen lately, eating less honey, and often running into the forest, beating all kinds of monsters, and its methods are extremely brutal."

The spine of the knife has palpitations.

"Didn't attack humans or cats, did you?"

"Not really, but every time I come back, I have to explore the camp for a while, and then I go to sleep listlessly."

"I guess it's been too long since I've seen him."

"It still has a brother?"

"yes, let's stop talking, I'll take a look."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he came to the shack near the sea in the forest.

Fish bones and crockpot fragments are all over the ground.

Brother Xiong was lying on his side in the shack, snoring.

Opening the honey jar, Brother Xiong raised his head slightly and sniffed, and then didn't bother to turn around at all.

The bear's paws fumbled around, grabbed a stinky fish and threw it over.

"Long time no see."

Brother Xiong's ears twitched twice, and then he turned his head.

Whew~Whew~

He gasped for breath twice, got up and flew in.

One man and one bear hugged each other for a moment, and then began to fight each other passionately.

"Oops~ Arm strength is good."

Whoop~whoa~

"Iron Mountain, yes, I'll do a little too."

Whoop~whoa~

In the evening, in order to celebrate the successful return of the ruthless team and the cat armed team, a grand celebration was held in the camp.

Early the next morning.

Sitting upright at the guild counter, Shui Yun, who was practicing ink painting with a pen, noticed some kind of strange sensation.

So he got up slightly and looked at the entrance of the guild branch.

Sure enough, Li Ming appeared a moment later.

"It's Li Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, it's been Chu Ying who has been coming to take the contract lately."

"How can I help?"

Shui Yun said, and rolled up the ink painting on the counter.

"I want to take the five-star emergency contract and hunt the Bubble Fox Dragon."

"It may take a long time to find, and is the squad really ready?"

Surprise flashed on Shui Yun's face.

"Yes, I've consulted with the other members, and everyone agrees."

"Okay, I'll register first, and if there is a suitable contract, I'll find a messenger to contact the warm ocean camp."

"Thank you, by the way, did the Tiger Dragon leave the Abandoned Shrine?"

"Alas~ It's a headache when I talk about this, and the time that the resentful tiger dragon has been in the abandoned shrine has far exceeded the hunting period."

Shui Yun sighed and held her forehead, looking very melancholy.

"Is there any special circumstance?"

Li Ming asked.

After all, the night walk of the hundred dragons is gone, and according to common sense, the resentful tiger dragon will not stay here for a long time.

"Do you still have an impression of the black eclipse dragon that only has a tendency to be weird? I remember seeing it several times in the sighting reports submitted by the team. ”

"Yes, it's very impressive, and the last sighting seems to have been in the swampy area."

"That's right, there are eyewitness reports that it was contaminated with a large amount of poison and fled with serious injuries, and it is speculated that it may have been caused by a battle with two monsters inhabiting the swamp."

"It's not going to come to the Waste Shrine, is it?"

Li Ming suddenly sensed something.

"That's right, that's what you think, after the disappearance and recuperation for a period of time, the black erosion dragon appeared in the abandoned shrine area, in fact, according to the previous treatment methods, it is nothing more than to distribute some more suppression injections and block part of the contract distribution, but it has met with the resentful tiger dragon, and neither side is willing to back down. In short, the situation is moving in an uncontrollable direction. ”

Shui Yun said weakly.

"Can the Black Eclipse Dragon last that long?"

It's been more than a month since the team last left the camp.

Li Ming didn't expect that the Black Eclipse Dragon would be able to fight the Tiger Dragon for so long.

"According to the report of Instructor Ni Tai's tracking and observation, that black eclipse dragon individual has partially mastered the ability of weirdness, including the injection of robbery blood, so it did not fall into the disadvantage during the short-term confrontation and battle."

"In this case, an emergency contract is going to be issued, right?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

The two dragons were far enough away that the guild was eager for the two sides to fight fiercely.

As long as you keep an eye on it, maybe there is still the possibility of prostituting the monster corpse in vain.

The problem is that the Philip Fortress is too close to the abandoned shrine, and if you don't get it right, you will be forced to go to war and drive away.

"It has been submitted to the guild headquarters, and the branch can actually release it on its own, but the village chief is still thinking about it, after all, this kind of contract is too dangerous."

Shui Yun sighed and said.

"If there's an update on their battle situation, can you get the cat messenger to deliver a copy to the camp?"

Li Ming felt that the ball of the ancient dragon could not be rubbed, and the ball of these two dragons could still be tried.

"Most of the cat messengers currently employed by the guild are members of the Warm Ocean Camp, so there shouldn't be a problem."

"Is there a cat coming to the fortress to work, it should be the arrangement of the knife spine, thank you."
