呲呲~

The piercing sound of cutting soon echoed in the pit.

Late at night, the stars shine.

One man and one cat ride the amphibole stone platform to the top of the giant pit.

A round jade whose surface was covered with silver spikes and could not be placed was frozen and sealed by transparent ice crystals, and was raised by Li Ming's hand.

The strange power contained in the jade made the [Vortex Bone] in its whole body creak.

The ascent and fall speed of the amphibole platform has also been greatly increased.

It's a pity that once the fall of the [Evil Star] is activated, after a slight acceleration, it cannot be slowed down and braked, and it is too dangerous to ride.

Li Ming was naturally reluctant to allow such a large piece of intact amphibole stone, so he attached the dragon dust to locate it, and after using [Rock Entanglement] to cover the super-thick protective shell, he released it to be summoned for use in the future.

"Are we releasing a star?"

Midodo asked in surprise when he saw the amphibole rising into the night sky.

"Sort of, but for now it seems that this star. It's also a little bleak. ”

"So the future will be even shinier?"

"Probably."

"Looking forward to the day when I see it cut through the sky."

Midodo closed his eyes and made a wish.

A day later, a man and a cat boarded the rail car and arrived at the area near the original site of the mountain walled city, and the railroad track broke at the end.

Due to the churning and running over of the snake king rex, the landscape here has been completely revealed.

Once two peaks almost in the middle of the mountain, they have now been widened into a wide circular pathway.

I don't know if it's because I'm numb early, or if I'm resilient enough.

A large number of residents, hunters, and scholars have begun to move supplies and start a new round of reconstruction.

Inside the makeshift guild headquarters set up in a large number of tents.

Li Ming found Zuda, handed over the report, and told the information he had witnessed one by one.

The Great Elder died in battle with the elderly hunter who was willing to stay.

The entire city-state collapsed, and five snake king dragons rushed in.

Witnessed by the Annihilation Dragon, and witnessed by two Stygian Red Dragons.

The Pavilion Mantis died.

The area around Dondoruma may evolve into a new area full of terrestrial corals from the earth's crustal changes caused by the explosion and the flesh and blood nourishment of the corpse of the Basiorex.

Such a huge amount of information made Zuda's thinking a little confused for a while.

"It doesn't make much sense to think so much now, the most important thing is to strip the material of the snake king dragon."

Li Ming still doesn't know how long it will take for the pit underground to become an ecology similar to that of the Miasma Valley.

But in that kind of underworld ecological environment, the terrain is terrifying.

It's extremely difficult to dig deeper, let alone ship the extract back in bulk.

So we must act now.

As for the purpose, the Hunters' Guild, which is being rebuilt, will not be able to carry out hunting on a certain scale in the short term.

The weapon armor upgrade of the top hunters may stall there.

Regardless of whether it can be adapted, the snake king dragon material is completely the top at the moment in terms of strength, not to mention that the quantity is so huge.

"I understand, if I really want to fight my life to protect this last hope, I also have to have capital."

Zuda quickly understood, and asked the cat herald to inform Aiden that he would immediately go to the headquarters and have an important mission.

"Chu Yingni Shuangdu is okay?"

"Very good, the escort evacuation mission has also been done very well, and I have been helping the camp hunt for food and alleviate the food shortage for free."

"What about the other towns?"

"According to the latest return information, the battle between the Tyrannosaurus and the Flame Fox Dragon affected the Feiye Fortress, but it was finally resisted, and the activity of the Lanlong also subsided, and Jieyun Village was affected by the large-scale migration of monsters because of a snake king dragon passing through the surroundings, and it can be regarded as resisting, but the encounter in Bernard Village, the crisis has not been alleviated so far."

"The village of Bernard should be relatively safe, right?"

Li Ming expressed curiosity.

"It used to be, but when the skeletal dragon expanded its predation range, the danger level increased greatly, and the local residents were also very panicked in the face of the monster that once devoured the entire village, but unfortunately the current headquarters is no longer able to give support."

Zuda said helplessly.

"It should have sensed the crisis, so it started preparations in advance."

"It seems that the arrival of the monsters in the New World has also brought a lot of unexpected effects."

"President Zuda, can you issue a hunting contract?"

"Of course, what monster do you want to hunt?"

"Skeleton Dragon."

"Judging from the information given by the local area, it is difficult for Bernard Village to give extra support to the team, don't you think about it?"

Zuda, of course, wanted the dragon to be hunted.

Maintaining the proper functioning of a branch is of great importance at the moment.

However, Li Ming is an invincible six-star hunter, and he really doesn't want accidents to happen.

"I don't have to think about it, I want to act now."

Li Ming expressed his attitude.

"Well, the contract will be delivered soon, and the Ruthless Team is stationed in that cave."

Zuda stood up and pointed to a cave in the mountain.

When the mountain walled city was still there, it was just an ordinary corner in the mountain passage.

Today, it has become a rare high-end residence.

Goodo~

The fragrant soup is boiling in a black iron pot.

With the claws of the cargo box, the cloth puts the wooden stick in and stirs for a while.

Then put the vegetables on the end plate, and the cat's paw holds the piece of bone-in meat and throws it into the pot.

Boom~

After throwing five pieces in a row, Bubu immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Forget that Li Mingmi is not here, and there are too many meows, and I must save it now."

When he finished speaking, Bubu tried to fish it out.

"Need help?"

"Yes, meow, I put too much flesh with bones, and I want to take out a piece."

Bubu's neck stiffened and turned, and when he saw Li Ming returning, Mi Duoduo was waving to him, and immediately burst into tears.

"You're all right! That's so nice meow! It is said that there was a huge explosion over there! No creature was spared! ”

"It's all over, don't be sad anymore."

Li Ming squatted down and stroked his back.

In the evening, Chu Ying Nishuang, who assisted in hunting in the headquarters camp, returned.

Seeing that a person and a cat returned safely, the hanging heart was finally let go.

Listening to the whole observation experience, the two couldn't help but sigh for a while.

The city-state, once known as the center of the world and still standing through countless dangers, has truly disappeared forever.

A stronger sense of unreality, deep inward.

When it came to the skeletal dragon that was going to go hunting and seriously threaten Bernard Village, Ni Shuang was a little excited at first, but quickly calmed down.

"If the main purpose is to help me complete my revenge, then let's change the target first."

The residents of Dondoruma have suffered no serious casualties in this crisis.

But the situation has slipped to the bottom, and Ni Shuang does not want to rashly start revenge at this point in time.

"It didn't settle down, and that's why I decided to attack."

Li Ming gave an explanation.

"That's right, the song of the Heaven and Earth Glory Dragon has stopped, it stands to reason that the monster's restlessness should subside soon, and the Skeleton Dragon is more active."

Chu Ying realized the problem.

Stimulated by strong disturbances, it is not uncommon to become a blame monster, which is common in the history of monster hunting.

But now that the source is gone, it is still highly active, and the threat of moving around shows that the line of action is very clear.

"Are you sure?"

Ni Shuang asked tentatively.

"The departure of the dragon from the dragon graveyard is a big advantage for us, and I feel that there is a chance."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

Since the skeleton dragon is going to travel on a large scale to hunt for food, it is equivalent to giving up the bone pile platform in the home dragon graveyard.

At the same time, Li Ming himself is extremely good at attribute transformation.

The dragon head conversion of the skeleton dragon is also not too much of a threat to it.

The only thing to worry about is probably only the Genesis that erupted with the attributes of a giant dragon.

"Well, I'll get ready."

Ni Shuang, who was beside the fire, got up, looking like he was going to leave now.

"Chu Ying, what about you?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course, I'm walking with you."

"Skeleton dragons pose a great threat to long-range hunters, and staying at temporary headquarters might be a good option."

"Oh~ I see, you're belittling me."

Chu Ying made a long sound of "oh", and the corners of one side of her mouth went down.

"Well, it's actually the death of the Pavilion Mantis, which makes me very uncomfortable, so I don't want something like this to happen to you."

Li Ming sighed and said.

As the intensity of the target to be hunted increases.

He couldn't help but become worried about the safety of the team members.

"It turns out that you care about me but I'm a hunter, hunting threatening monsters and maintaining ecological stability is my duty, not to mention now, when someone has to fight, as for the issue of life and death, in fact, everyone has already thought about it before becoming a hunter."

Chu Ying's face was firm.

"Me too!"

Bubu stood up and raised his claws, touching Chu Ying's palm.

Preparations for the hunt for the skeletal dragon began.

The next day, in the open mountains, in front of the sedan.

Although the temporary guild is short of materials, food is also a little scarce.

But the support for the ruthless squad is not sparing.

Carrying food and ammunition, boxes were loaded into the carriage.

Ni Shuang repeatedly looked at the seven-star contract in his hand [Naluo's Demon Star], and his mentality couldn't calm down at all.

"Come on Ruthless Squad!"

"Defeat the Skeleton Dragon! Don't let it set foot in Bernard Meow! ”

"If it weren't for the broken arm, I'd go, don't let me down, Ruthless Squad!"

With the crowd cheering off, the wagon set off from the mountains on both sides of the sharded mountains towards the village of Bernard.

Roads disappear due to changes in the landscape.

Originally, the map had become invalid, and Li Ming could only rely on various senses to start a rapid journey.

Ten days later, under the warm sun, the open grassland terrain was revealed.

However, even near the entrance of the village, no villagers were seen grazing the cloud sheep and deer.

A short time later, a row of towering wooden fence walls appeared in front of them.

There are also a large number of residents, who are constantly adding and reinforcing it.

Although the village of Bernard is backed by high mountains, the village has continued to grow, with dwellings and cattle pens extending to the plains.

This ring of fence walls consumes a lot of money, and the resistance is quite limited.

Trucks drove in, and the rows of houses were mostly empty except for hunter-gatherer-related shops.

After inquiry, it was learned that the headquarters of the Ryuryūin Temple, which was established in the middle of the mountain range, was open for temporary shelter for residents.

At this stage, villagers can settle in.

As for hunting and gathering, it is entirely up to the hunter to take care of it.

The advantage of this strategy is that even if the dragon captures the village, it can ensure the safety of the villagers to the greatest extent.

The disadvantage is that all production comes to a standstill, and when the reserves are exhausted, there is no way to maintain it.

Dangdang!

"Please come in. Ruthless squad? ”

In the dean's office, Vegasha, who was reading the report, was stunned when she saw the three people and two cats at the door.

"Hello Dean Vegartha, this time I came mainly for a contract, and due to the recent heavy losses of the Cat Liaison Team, we have also brought a detailed report on the incident of Dondoruma."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he put a thick stack of documents on the table.

"No wonder the information hasn't been sent back for a long time, poor cats."

Vegarsha sighed.

The road was blocked, and a large amount of intelligence information continued to be transmitted, and the Maomao liaison team flew extremely frequently at this time, causing heavy losses.

As he flipped, the old dragonman's gaze became more and more solemn.

One is out of concern about the future ecology, and the other is that many of these monsters and ecological performance are completely beyond expectations.

After reading the detailed report, when she saw the name of the contract below, Vegarsha was stunned.

"Naraku's demon star, are you here to hunt the dragon?"

"Yes, so I want to see what the branch has."

Li Ming confirmed.

"This is it."

Swish~

The document with the summary information was unfolded by Li Ming, and Chu Ying Ni approached left and right to observe together.

"When passing by outside the village, I ate nearly a hundred cloud sheep deer and five Shouming Dragons in a day, and the corpses of the dragon slaying that I witnessed around the ancient forest were only bones, and I am currently chasing and killing two individuals to kill the Ash Blade Slaying Dragon."

After reading the report, Li Ming confirmed that the current state of the Skeleton Dragon was definitely unusual.

"It's unclear why Zuda issued this kind of contract, but if the team wants to give up, they can communicate with me."

Vegarsha reminded.

"I proposed it."

Li Ming raised his hand and said.

"Is that you? All right. ”

"Doesn't the village of Bernard need help?"

"It's very needed, but the current top hunter team is too precious, and the support that the Dragon Calendar Academy can give is very limited~"

Vegarsha turned her back and looked down and sighed helplessly.

At that time, the development and application of airships were seriously hindered by the Heavenly Comet Dragon, which led to the entire industry going into a dead end.

The Dragon Academy can only gradually transform into a purely academic institution, and no longer focus on recruiting and training hunters.

In addition, in order to deal with the crisis of Dondoruma this time, a large number of hunters rushed to the battle.

As a result, the headquarters of the Dragon Calendar Academy is particularly empty, and there is no strong support left.

"Don't worry, Dean, the team will return safely."

Li Ming said with confidence.

"On behalf of Bernard Village and the Dragon Calendar Academy, I would like to thank you very much, and how about 150 cloud sheep deer if you pay more?"

Vegarsha also wanted to give more valuable rewards to show her gratitude.

But as far as the current situation of the ruthless team is concerned, the money and materials that the Dragon Calendar Academy can come up with are not of great significance to it.

On the contrary, it is the cloud sheep deer, a specialty of the village, which can better reflect sincerity.

"Okay."

"I don't see anything written on the report, did you meet him when you were there?"

Vegarsha asked tentatively.

"Dewen's seniors also went?"

Li Ming asked unexpectedly.

"Not necessarily, it's better if you haven't met it."

Vegarsha sighed.
