0197 Empire

The Ice Snowman Sword slashed out and met the golden lion's fist.

The timing of the huntress's accumulating slash, the direction of the slash, and the distance control are all impeccable.

Boom!

The falling blades collided with their fists, and large shards of ice erupted.

Sou~

The perspective turns, and there are trees and branches in front of you.

Look at it again, what are you running, oh, forget that you are a tengu beast, this kind of excitement is not something you can watch casually.

Li Ming felt that if this was the memory of the Exploding Scale Dragon, he would at least watch the whole battle closely, and maybe he would be able to participate in it.

Not long after, Li Ming appeared on his own.

Although the image in the eyes of the monster, he has long lost any expectations.

But when he saw the male and female two-headed fire dragons sharing a body after the Flame King was loaded with fog balls, his bottom line was broken down again.

Is this me? This is a demon!

Are you kidding.

Forget it, it's a monster perspective anyway, and the image doesn't matter at all.

Li Ming comforted himself and fell asleep.

At 10 a.m., the aroma of barbecue wafted from the tree hole camp.

Li Ming, who had eaten five large pieces, planned the next action in his mind while traveling under the moonlight.

Although the huntress behaved recklessly, judging from the combat performance, it was clear that she would not die easily.

Probably because of the solitary hunting, the golden lion needs to be tracked and entangled for a long time, so there is no news back.

That is, the matter of recovering the corpse, no need to worry too much.

But what kind of hunter dares to try to hunt a golden lion alone?

Such an outstanding hunter should be more steady.

As for the Swift Dragon, the Tengu Beast climbed up and down to pick persimmons all day long, and it didn't leave a deep impression, so it should go deeper into the area of activity in the submerged forest.

After confirming the direction of action, Li Ming's mouth subconsciously bitten.

Hiss~

As soon as you bite it, the sweet juice pours into your mouth.

"Where did this big persimmon come from?"

Li Ming saw the big persimmon in front of him, and he was a little inexplicable for a while.

"It's the meow you just climbed the tree to collect."

Holding a bunch of big persimmons, Mi Duoduo, who couldn't see the way forward, responded.

"Okay, eating more fruits and vegetables is not bad for your body."

Hiss ~ hiss ~

Li Ming took a few bites, and Mi Duoduo's vision was quickly cleared, and his pace was much brisker.

Gradually, the search went deeper for about three hours.

A person and a cat stopped and analyzed the traces they found.

Scattered black hairs in the shape of steel needles, rock walls pierced by blows, and plate-like boulders that have been moved over a large area.

There are various indications that the golden lion has recently been active in the surrounding area.

As for the Swift Dragon, there were no other traces left except for a few old claw marks left on the thick trunk.

"Walk through this area. Then go here and there. ”

Li Ming finished calibrating on the map and continued to set off on foot.

Rustling~

The sound of the leaves grinding against the treetops is heard in your ears.

Li Ming looked for a sound.

The [Color Identification] of the Poisonous Demon Bird and the [Injection Point Detection] of the giant bee are very useful for exploring the traces of monsters in the vast wilderness.

Li Ming, who noticed the abnormality, told in a low voice.

"There's a faint breath coming out from behind the thick leaf."

"Is it a golden lion?"

"It's not clear, follow me, let's go around to the side and take a look."

"Okay meow!"

After Midodo finished speaking, he put on his goggles and bit down on his breathing tube.

A man and a cat immediately lay down and slowly circled in the water.

Puff~

Li Ming stepped forward from the water.

With a thick tree as a shield, look around.

Viewed from the side, the treetops are empty behind the dense foliage.

"Am I too sensitive?"

"Gone?"

Li Ming whispered at the same time, and noticed that on the other side of the tree, a woman's voice sounded simultaneously.

"Uh, may I ask who you are?"

Li Ming asked across the tree.

"A hunter on the hunt."

The huntress voice was a little low.

"Me too."

"Let's exchange information, okay?"

"Okay."

The hunter squad meets in the wild, in addition to helping with the hunt.

Another of the most common things to do is to exchange regional intelligence.

The target that your own team has not been able to pursue for many days, the other team may have encountered it many times.

In hunting areas where there are no investigators, if you detect a monster incurring, you can also warn each other about it.

Li Ming walked around the giant tree, but he didn't see anyone.

"Where's you?"

On the other side of the tree, the other party asked.

"Don't move, I'll look for you."

Li Ming didn't expect that the other party also looked around the tree.

Soon, a woman in a golden lion suit appeared in the field of vision.

Li Ming visually observed that the other party was about thirty years old, and his golden hair color and blue eyes were quite rare at the moment.

The old scars on the face, large and small, look like there is an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

At this time, the other party was crouching under the tree, observing the surroundings, and seemed very vigilant.

On the kayak on the surface of the water, Ailu, wearing the armor of a golden lion cat, is holding a monocular, carefully monitoring the movement in the distance.

"Hello Auntie."

"Auntie. That's right, I didn't expect such a young five-star hunter, what about the other members of the team? ”

The huntress heard her aunt's name, and her eyes sank.

"My name is Li Ming, and I am also a lone hunter, I am here to hunt the Swift Dragon, this is Mi Duoduo."

"It's also a lone hunter, Li Ming seems to have heard it somewhere."

"Hello, Ah. Huntress Meow. ”

Midodo waved his claws in greeting.

"Hello Mi Duoduo, my name is Selena, did you two witness the golden lion just now?"

"No, but I found a lot of traces along the way."

"It's strange, I obviously had that kind of sensing just now, although it doesn't look like the tracking individual, but."

Selina suddenly looked at Li Ming with a strange look.

"Your male fire dragon armor is embedded with two red jades at the same time?"

"Yes, Auntie, how do you know?"

"The ability to wear it for a long time stimulates strong armor, and some perceptions will also become sensitive, it is estimated that the influence of Long Yu is too strong, so I mistake you for a golden lion."

Serena sighed.

"I didn't find any trace of the golden lion, and the surrounding area is safe! My name is Kulomeow. ”

After introducing himself, Kuro retracted the monocular and came to Midodo.

The two cats looked at each other for a moment, then twisted their bodies and danced together.

Midodo mastered too many novel moves, and Kuro was quickly defeated.

"Do you have any information on the Swift Dragon?"

"Once in a while, the map is for me."

Li Ming handed over the map.

Selina unfolded, simply calibrated and returned.

"It's probably this direction, it's similar to what you predicted, but you need a deeper estimate to find it, and that swift dragon doesn't feel simple, maybe it has the possibility of becoming a G-class individual, please be careful."

"Thank you."

"Farewell."

"Wait a minute, Auntie, the uncle in charge of the storage truck in the field camp is very worried about your safety."

"yes, it's a good feeling to have someone to worry about."

Selina was a little surprised.

"Why don't you go hunting in a team?"

"Six-star hunters are too busy to get together Meow, and Selina is used to being alone. Wrong! It's one man and one cat! ”

Kuro corrected.

"Sure enough, it's a six-star hunter, so even so, it's too risky to hunt the golden lion alone."

"I'm actually fine after getting familiar with the attack, and I'm only focusing on hunting at the moment, and there are individuals who hope to pass the race trial, but haven't done it yet."

Selina explained.

I see, Selina is not a reckless man.

Instead, they specialize in hunting those golden lions that have not yet eaten the horns of the unicorn.

It is considered to control the number of individuals who pass the trial with the lowest risk.

"So you've been hunting golden lions?"

"Yes."

"Can you ask me if there is any special reason?"

Li Ming was a little incomprehensible.

"Well, it's a remedy for the willfulness of youth."

Selina thought for a long time before answering.

Hearing the answer, Li Ming was even more puzzled.

The willfulness of youth, the golden lion, remedy

I can't get in touch at all, wait

"Auntie, you shouldn't be the third princess of the empire, right?"

Hearing Li Ming's inquiry, Kuluo, who was in the second round of dancing, suddenly froze.

"No, meow! Selina is a fierce six-star hunter, so she is not the third princess. ”

Kuro hurriedly denied it.

"I haven't heard that for many years since the fall of the Empire."

Selina sighed, apparently admitted.

"Uh-a-a. Okay meow, but the relevant records should have been destroyed, right, how do you know? ”

Kuro hung his head weakly, and then began to ask.

"I happened to see a book that said that when the empire still existed, the third princess often liked to issue some incomprehensible hunting contracts, such as hunting golden lions, making cotton clothes and slippers or something, so I thought of it."

Li Ming explained.

"That's right, I issued those contracts, and it was precisely because of the uncontrolled hunting of the golden lion group at that time that the other party's hatred for humans intensified."

Selina admits it frankly.

"You can't blame Selina Meow, the atmosphere of the empire was like this at that time, and even in the main city of the empire, there was a super-large imperial arena, and everyone would put the captured dinosaurs in it for fun to watch the battle."

Kulo said eagerly maintained.

Li Ming was stunned.

The third princess may not have been a special case at the time, because night bird hunting was unusually frequent.

It is because of the costumes made of its materials that it is the most fashionable dress for court balls.

A super-large arena that can place dinosaurs and golden lions has also existed.

Obviously, these phenomena cannot all be caused by Selina alone.

"Why did such a powerful empire fall in such a short time? Left behind very limited information? ”

Li Ming couldn't help but be curious.

"You're already a five-star hunter, and it's not a big problem to know, but it's easy to trigger despair in your heart."

Selina said, her eyes darkening.

"Please, I can handle it."

Li Ming felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he could be stimulated again.

"The Black Dragon landed in the port of Tangia and continued to advance towards the Imperial Capital, and the Sea of Ere swallowed everything around it, and nothing could stop it, and then the Empire disappeared."

Selina's brief description stunned Li Ming.

"The empire is gone"

"Yes, I was in order to experience the life of a hunter, sneaked out of the palace, went to East Doruma, and survived, and the rest of the empire all the royal families failed to escape, because of the taboo, and then the guild decided to block the information of the fall of the empire, I didn't understand it at first, and I wanted to avenge my parents and brothers and sisters, until I really became a hunter, and my understanding of the taboo gradually deepened, and I realized how naΓ―ve I was, and when you reached six stars, you should be able to get relevant information, but before that"

Selina hesitated.

I thought about whether to tell the information that a group of unknown ancient dragons were heading towards the original continent.

After all, the empire in its heyday was enough to be destroyed in the face of taboos.

"I'm the one who submitted the information on the huge threat that is approaching."

Li Ming raised his hand and said.

"Li Ming. You're the one who fought off the dragon at Lingfeng. A member of the Ruthless Squad? ”

Selina asked suddenly.

"It's me."

"It's such an amazing newcomer, if you are given enough time to grow, you can't guess how far it will go."

"It's over."

"Those ancient dragons who came across the sea are all powerful, right?"

Selina asked.

In the convening letter issued by the guild, it only mentioned that a huge threat was approaching and hoped to be prepared, but the actual situation did not reveal much.

"Yes, and it could be a huge ecological change."

"It seems that we have to make more preparations, and when the guild issues an emergency call, I will also go to Dondoruma, and then the ruthless team will also come, right?"

Selina asked tentatively.

"I think it will."

"Looking forward to your performance."

"Actually, I want you to help me with something."

"Well, I'm sorry, I guess I'll have to wait until later."

Woohoo~

Selina said, reaching for her shriveled stomach.

Li Ming was very familiar with this situation.

Not only does it have some difficulty for a lone hunter to rest in peace, but after a bloody battle with monsters, he also drags his tired body to hunt for food.

This is not only a great test of physical limits, but also the timing of the hunting process must be clearly understood.

Selina is obviously hungry and must hunt to replenish her strength.

"Cat Cart!"

Li Ming beckoned into the distance.

Selina and Kuro glanced at each other, both a little curious.

Whew~Whew~

A cat car with a large number of airbags, wading in the water.

"That's a lot of raw meat!"

Kulo's ears stood up and he exclaimed.

"I can't help it, it's too time-consuming to hunt and track while hunting, so I came out with raw meat pieces."

Li Ming explained.

"Doesn't that attract monsters?"

Selina asked in surprise.

"If you can beat it, get in the car, and if you can't beat it, abandon the car."

Li Ming said the travel policy.

For the cats accompanying the team, the cat cart is no longer a valuable item and does not need to be maintained at the expense of life.

"This kind of hunting configuration is really unprecedented."

Selina said, looking at the raw meat cube and wiping the corners of her mouth.

"Let's start roasting, now you don't have to hunt, you have time."

"Yes, how can I help?"

"It's hard to hunt alone and finish off monsters, right?"

"That's right, monsters will flee desperately when they are dying, and it usually takes several areas to kill them, which is also the time to test the hunter's toughness."

"Very well, fire a flare when you are dying, and I'll help you fight."

"Wait, isn't that you're helping me?"

Selina asked, confused.
