The expedition to the walled city was jubilant.

Although the old mountain dragon turned its direction, it can be considered as a successful repulsion.

However, since this change was so abrupt, the division decided to observe for three days and then evaluate the results of the operation.

Two days later, Lao Shanlong, who had returned the same way, left the mountain range where the expedition was located.

Ground tremors have been greatly relieved.

Another day later, the branch officially announced that the operation to repel the old mountain dragon had been confirmed to be successful.

The other party is moving away from Dondoruma, and the threat is completely removed.

Hunters poured into the guild hall and began to celebrate.

The long-accumulated sense of oppression is swept away.

The food storage warehouse is free of charge, and the grotto kitchen is full of cats.

Meals and wine are constantly served to the round table.

In the noise and noise, Chu Ying held her cheek with one hand and gently shook the barrel glass on the table with the other.

"After practicing the control of the crossbow gun turret for so long, I suddenly didn't have a chance to use it. But it's okay, at least Dondoruma is safe, and everyone doesn't have to continue to be in danger, come! Boob! Cheers! ”

"We've won."

Boo lifted the small wine barrel glass and touched it.

"Next, it's time to go to East Doruma and conduct the selection of five-star hunters, right?"

Ni Shuang asked.

"Hiccup~ yes."

Li Ming put the stick bone in his hand into the dinner plate, picked up a large piece of barbecue meat, and continued to bite it.

"You're in a better state now, aren't you?"

Hearing Ni Shuang's inquiry, Chu Ying Bu Miduoduo, who was at the same table, was silent and looked over a little nervously.

Three days ago, when Li Ming learned that Lao Shanlong had returned the same way.

Not only did he not show joy, but he was in a state of extreme unease.

It wasn't until dinner time that it got a little better.

The team thought that it was caused by the excessive pressure of participating in the old mountain dragon interception operation.

"It's much better, maybe it's caused by not sleeping well for many days, thank you for your concern."

Hearing Li Ming say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the reason why he was really extremely uneasy, Li Ming speculated that it might be related to absorbing the ancient dragon blood of the old mountain dragon.

This empathy is not as strong as that of a fog ball.

But at least it is reflected in dreams, and it really affects one's own emotions.

Well, as the number of toilet trips increased, the anxiety began to gradually decrease.

Li Ming felt that it should be the gradual discharge of ancient dragon blood with the circulation in the body, which made the situation better.

As for the reason why the old mountain dragon is so afraid, the vast majority of people in this world are not clear.

Li Ming can spy some possibilities from the game.

That was the effect of the black dragon, and the fear brought about by that coercion made him even more convinced of this speculation.

The only thing that is a little puzzling is that there are two sources of terror, and they are in different directions.

Full of wine and food, Li Ming slept well.

Early the next morning, after receiving the evaluation and remuneration for the large-scale joint hunt at the branch, the team set off on the slide car and headed for East Doruma.

A large number of rocks on the tracks have not been cleared, and some sections of the road have even collapsed, and the journey is not smooth.

Fortunately, many of the hunters on the car are familiar with the clean-up work and can help to move forward while repairing.

A day later, when the slide car successfully drove out of the expedition walled city, the speed of travel increased significantly.

The rock walls that block everything on both sides have become blue sky grasslands.

This is a feeling of sudden enlightenment for hunters in the long-term deep expedition to the walled city.

Li Ming looked sideways out of the car, admiring the vigorous scenery that he hadn't seen for a long time.

At the junction of heaven and earth in the distance, there was a sudden ghosting, which became blurred in the fog.

Buzz~Buzz~

Things in his eyes fluttered slightly at high speed for a moment, and everything returned to normal.

Li Ming, who was vigilant, looked at the other people in the carriage, everyone was talking and laughing, pointing to the sky and the distance, and did not notice anything abnormal.

It's been four days, and it should be cleaned.

Li Ming was a little puzzled, but as far as his own situation was concerned, only he knew best.

Two days later, at night, the slide car arrived in front of the towering city walls.

Fireworks of all kinds are going off over one side of the city-state.

Obviously, the news of the old mountain dragon being repelled has been returned, and celebrations are being launched in the city.

Get off the bus and head into the city.

The streets of prosperity are lit with fire, and everyone has joy on their faces.

Not only was this a rare victory, but at least for a long time to come, the city would not have to worry about safety.

The door of the Muppet shop, which separates the city wall, opens.

Sophia, who was dressed in pajamas, was a little surprised to see the team visiting.

Inviting three people and two cats into the store, Sophia gave everyone hot tea, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect it, Chu Ying, how long has it been since you became a five-star hunter." ”

"Not yet, teacher, I have to wait until tomorrow to participate in the guild to participate in the selection, so as to know the exact news."

Chu Ying bowed her head a little embarrassed and said.

"The hunting resume of the four heavenly kings of the team is very eye-catching, coupled with the evaluation of successfully repelling the old mountain dragon, it should be relatively stable As a teacher, I should continue to work hard, I originally wanted to wait until the old mountain dragon was about to show his skills, but I didn't expect it to turn around in the expedition to the walled city."

"It turns out that Sophia's predecessors are not optimistic about the operation of the expedition to the walled city?"

Li Ming said with some surprise.

"The Great Elder didn't go, and the six-star hunters didn't send it, that side is obviously not the decisive battle location that the guild expected, and even this time I didn't even try to storm the city wall, it's really a little incomprehensible, I hope that after the scholar team visits, I can investigate something."

Sophia informs the view.

"I speculate that the old mountain dragon may be afraid of something and flee."

This is a novel statement, but it is also in line with one of the two main reasons for migration.

"What's the other one?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"The other one is relatively rare among monsters, and it mostly occurs in areas where the ecology is completely collapsed, that is, in order to explore a more suitable living environment, go to unknown areas to explore."

"On humans, it's about exploring a new home, right?"

Ni Shuang asked.

"That's right, this giant hunter has a quick mind."

Sophia agreed.

After allocating the room and tidying up his bags, Mi Duoduo saw that it was not too early, so he took the initiative to come and chat to help Li Ming fall asleep.

Realizing that there was no one in the house, he heard the sound of shouting from the roof above, so he ran to investigate.

Under the moonlight, Li Ming, who was on the terrace, was holding a sword and guarding the shield axe, and began to practice the swinging of basic moves.

Mi Duoduo was a little surprised, in the past, when he was in the wild, Li Ming would also have a training plan.

But it's already midnight, not to mention that there is a five-star selection to participate in tomorrow at the headquarters, so I dissuade it.

"Huhu~ Is it so late, I feel like I've only been practicing for a while."

Li Ming, who was wheezing, wiped away his sweat and returned to the house with Mi Duoduo.

Before he could sit down, the room trembled at high speed, and phantoms flashed at the edges of all objects.

The back of Midodo's overall bed became blurred.

A sense of urgency suffocated hit.

"Let's make the bed first, and I'll practice for a while."

"Huh? Still going to meow? ”

After Li Ming finished speaking, he returned to the terrace of the puppet shop, and slashed with all his strength dozens of times, and the sense of urgency of the approaching danger was alleviated.

Something must have gone wrong! But what's the problem?

Li Ming felt inexplicably restless in his heart.

Although it is not as strong as the empathy of the old mountain dragon, the problem is that this restlessness is continuing to intensify.

"Disappear for me!"

Li Ming roared angrily, and began to quickly consume his physical strength in a way that increased the frequency of his slashes.

The sense of urgency and agitation was finally greatly relieved.

When he dragged his tired body back into the house, it was almost early morning.

Puff~Puff~

The lethargic venom sprayed onto his face, and Li Ming fell asleep directly.

While!

A bell rang.

Li Ming opened his eyes suddenly, the sunlight was shining through the window, and the sky was bright.

While! While! While!

The mantis mantis's insect bell rang eight times in succession, and then stopped.

Li Ming stretched his waist and got up to put on his armor.

"Are you feeling better?"

Midodo asked worriedly.

After all, judging from yesterday's performance, Li Ming's state is obviously problematic.

"Much better."

Although the feeling of restlessness is uncomfortable, at least there is a way to restrain it.

The way is the physical exertion that comes with a lot of training.

But Li Ming felt that after being promoted to a five-star hunter, he had to find the source of the problem first.

Otherwise, in this state, it is impossible to hunt at all.

In the hall of the guild headquarters, after the team submitted all the materials, they were invited to wait in the reception room of the database on the second floor.

A short time later, a receptionist came with a small stack of hunting files to communicate with the team for confirmation.

The other party said that according to the hunting resume, it is not a big problem for all the ruthless teams to be promoted to five-star hunters, and they only need to wait for about two more days for the review process.

The corresponding treatment of five-star hunters was also introduced.

In addition to a large number of convenient and favorable conditions, the fact that he can independently certify the hunting contract in the wild has aroused Li Ming's interest.

"So after a successful hunt, there is no longer a need for field investigators to certify?"

"Yes, but for the sake of corpse transportation needs and ecological information updates, you can still communicate with the local investigators, and if you are interested in certification assessment training, then after passing the assessment, you can also help other hunter teams to carry out certification contracts, if you are interested in stationing in the guild branch, the guild also has relevant training and assignments."

The female receptionist introduced.

It seems that five-star hunters have more choices in hunting and career planning.

"You can borrow the literature in the database at any time, right?"

Ni Shuang pointed to the heavy iron door guarded by knights.

"Most of them can be viewed."

"Do you have any ecological information on the dragons?"

"Well, that's in a small part."

"Okay."

Ni Shuang sighed helplessly when he heard this.

"While you are waiting for the review, you can study more about the future direction of the hunter's career, and take your leave."

The team walked out of the guild headquarters gate and descended down the wide stone steps.

On the other side, there are a large number of young people lined up, ready to participate in the hunter access assessment.

Perhaps it was the confidence and encouragement brought by Lao Shanlong's successful repulsion that led to a large number of people running for election today.

Chu Ying wants to go back to the puppet shop and inform Sophia of the result as soon as possible.

Ni Shuang wants to go to the workshop in the city to create decorations.

Because Miduoduo has always been interested in the grilled fish outside the training ground, he never forgets it every year.

Li Ming decided to take him to eat.

The three members of the team said goodbye.

"Boss, here are twenty spicy grilled fish."

Seeing that Li Ming was so arrogant, the boss smiled and collected the money and stepped up his work.

By the circular fountain, a man and a cat sat on a bench and picked up spicy grilled fish.

The sky is blue, and a few white clouds are drifting.

Looking at the dense flow of people passing through, Li Ming suddenly felt like he was in a commercial street, and his mentality became comfortable.

Buzz~Buzz~

The tremors returned, this time with a slight trembling sound.

Li Ming's mood immediately turned to restlessness.

Do you still have to force me to exhaust my strength!

"Uh, I can't eat meow."

Midodo patted his bulging belly and handed out the grilled fish.

Finding that Li Ming had never knotted, he turned his head to check.

"What's wrong with you!"

"It's not a big problem, but I have to go back to the puppet shop first."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he grabbed the sword and shield axe standing next to him.

At this time, the puppet shop, which is located in the middle of nowhere and has very low housing prices, is an excellent training place.

"Your eyes are bloodshot, like."

Midodo wanted to speak and stopped.

"Seems like what?"

"Monster meow that's been stimulated strongly."

Hearing Mi Duoduo's description, Li Ming, who got up, sat back again.

Yes, restlessness and anxiety are both warning reactions for monsters to deal with an approaching threat.

It's like a dog barking before an earthquake, but the ancient dragon's blood should have been almost exhausted.

Could it be the effect of another kind of induction?

The fog ball ring appeared, slowly drifting around the body.

Li Ming has been suffering from empathy lately, and of course it is impossible to load any perceptual fog-like balls.

For example, if you are loaded with the [Super Sensory Hearing] of the Great Monster Bird in the Expedition Walled City, let alone sleep.

Listen to the shock and rumble for two or three days, and the whole person may go crazy.

However, as the loading time of the sensory fog-like ball increases, the body continues to adapt in use.

This kind of perception ability will also be slightly enhanced, but the amplitude is still relatively low.

Holding up the [Super Sensory Hearing], Li Ming was about to try to load, wanting to see if there was a problem with auditory perception.

But the possibility of thinking of one made him stop.

That is, with the time of loading, the slight perception improvement can have such a big impact.

Loading the fog ball level of the instantaneous increase, whether you can withstand it.

Looking down at the little tentacles in the hole, Li Ming whispered.

"If something goes wrong, it's up to you to get the ball out."

The small tentacles shook quickly and gently, as if to express Li Ming's confidence to try boldly.

"Hey!"

[Super Sensory Hearing] is plugged in, and the noisy sound of people becomes clear, but other than that, there is no strong stimulation induction.

Isn't it [super sensory hearing]? Could it be the [Ancient Dragon Trajectory Exploration] of the Pterodactyl Serpent?

No, this perception is quite mild, even in the face of the Heavenly Comet Dragon, it didn't make me overly restless.

Li Ming tried again, but there was still no superfluous reaction.

Scratching the bird's [incubation nest exploration], giant bee's [injection point detection].

It's impossible!

At this time, Li Ming saw the [Resonance Detonation] that was constantly trembling slightly and appeared extremely unstable.

This is the Snake Snake's fog ball, with amplitude perception attached

Li Ming picked it up and stuffed it into his chest.

呲呲呲!!

A strong high-frequency tremor, as if to turn the world upside down.

Layer upon layer of seismic waves, spreading in a manner similar to a radar waveform.

Rolling through the ground, a steady stream.

The small tentacles worked together to grab and throw the [Resonance Detonation].

Li Ming gasped for a long time, and after the strong stimulation was relieved, he looked at the direction of the annular shockwave.

"Midodo, if you go out of the city from this side, it's the sea, right?"

"yes, meow, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but something might be wrong with this continent."
