Deep in the forests of the wasteland, hundreds of alien beasts are frantically besieging a young man.

Their bodies were wrapped in a veil of powerful flames, and even on the claws and blades of some of the two alien beasts, there was an alien luster.

Without reservation, the beasts turned on all the amplifications and attacked each other with rage.

And the young man.

He was holding a long, black and slender straight knife, and there was not half a bit of power on his body.

Relying only on the purest physical strength, wielding the blade and fighting the angry beasts.

It's a completely unfair matchup.

But the strange thing is that the one who has the upper hand is the human who didn't use any energy.

Boom! Burst! Burst......

The pitch-black long knife swept by, and the terrifying power crushed the power of a certain C-class alien beast.

The blade cut through the flesh and skin, bringing up bright red blood, and the figures of the strange beasts fell one after another.

Lin Xiao waved his black blade, coming and going freely among the beasts.

He carefully slashed and stabbed each blow, felt the feel of the light knife tearing apart the strange beast, and kept summarizing it in his mind.

[One-handed Sword -Lv1: XP +5]

[One-handed Sword -Lv1: XP +6]

[One-handed Sword -Lv1: XP +6]

……

Half an hour later.

The earth was stained with blood, and all the beasts fell under the slender black knives.

Lin Xiao shook off the scarlet on the black knife and nodded in satisfaction.

This group of strange beasts enjoyed the performance of the guzheng with hypnosis and illusion, and received his painting and sketching services.

Now, it's also counting the performance fee for him.

Turning around, Lin Xiao saw two unexpected figures.

It's Le Suxin and Captain Thunder.

"Why are you here?"

The location of these two people's activities is generally different from Lin Xiao's location.

"I'm tired of alienation cultivation, come here and relax..."The silver-haired huntress looked at the slender black knife in Lin Xiao's hand, raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Boy, are you now pursuing frequency, like me?"

“… I just want to practice more weapons. ”

Le Suxin put his hand against his chin and nodded:

"I feel like your one-handed sword skills are good, and your proficiency is comparable to the main weapon of some hunters."

"After all, the techniques are interoperable..."Lin Xiao smiled lightly and put the black knife into his body.

Among the weapons he has brushed, swords account for the largest proportion.

Although the one-handed sword is now only Lv1, its actual combat ability is already comparable to the skill of Lv2.

"Captain Thunder..."Lin Xiao looked at the man with dodging eyes and asked:

"Are you looking for me?"

Lei Ming clasped his hands around his chest and was silent for a while.

Immediately, he turned his face and said, "Nothing! ”

"I'm idle and bored, come and see how you use the Sky Lock to cut the moon!"

“…… What's that? The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched.

He probably knew what the other party was trying to do.

From the location of this mission, the Lake of Cold, the Thundering Squad only has one last stop left.

If nothing else, it will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and... Complete the task by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

This person is probably struggling, whether to leave the wasteland directly, or go to the Valley of Darkness with Lin Xiao for a walk.

Lin Xiao felt that he obviously wanted to go, but for the sake of face, he didn't dare to admit his thoughts.

…… Is this kind of awkward personality common in the dead house?

Lin Xiao didn't understand, but he still gave the steps intimately:

"I heard that the ghosts are very dense this year, and the Pink Candy and Flame Explosion teams are a little too busy."

"Captain Thunder, do you want to go over and help then?"

"Really?" Lei Ming turned his head, his face glowing.

"Hmm... Then there is no way, as fellow hunters, of course we need to help others when they are in difficulty. ”

Captain Thunder nodded his head, as if convincing himself.

"Okay! Ichigo, I'll come with you then! ”

The man shook his fist into the air and grinned:

"Bai Mengmei, that pink-haired fat woman, must be grateful to us! Hahaha! ”

……

"......" Lin Xiao was expressionless, his eyes staring at the back of Lei Ming's departure delicately.

"Youth..."Shuangjian Le Suxin patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and said lightly:

"You have to get used to it, the captain will be a little tsundere at some point."

“…… What is Tsundere? Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"How can I explain it to you..."Le Suxin pondered for a moment and said:

"In the little movie, those who shout no, but are very honest, are called tsundere!"

Lin Xiao: "......!?? ”

Lin Xiao felt even more unable to understand this word.

……

The next day.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble...

Opened the way under the beam of black flames, the Thundering Squad arrived at the Lake of Cold Air.

It is a medium-sized lake, and the pale blue water seems to contain some kind of cold energy particles inside.

The entire surface of the lake is emitting cold air, and there is still white smoke floating on it.

"There may be B-rank alien beasts hidden in this lake, which are completely unsuitable for you to train."

Captain Lei Ming got up with a dark purple electric snake in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"This time, you just need to salvage the giant blue pearl......"

Poof!

A violent thunderstorm erupted from Thunder and poured into the pale blue water.

It's like an electric fish.

The deep purple thunder tongue spreads along the lake to the entire lake.

Thunderbolt Thunderbolt...

The real cold lake was sizzling, and the surface of the lake began to surge.

Captain Lei Ming didn't spare his hand this time, and used all his strength for the first time in a long time.

Patches of aquatic alien beasts, shocked by the thunderstorm of B-class hunters, floated up with their bellies turned up.

Lei Ming picked up the purple battle axe and said to everyone:

"I'll open the way with Lin Xiao, and you will follow behind."

Amid the sound of entering the water, the Thundering Squad all dived into the Lake of Cold Air.

In this icy lake, Lin Xiao looked at the underwater world without any abnormality.

The depth is more than 100 meters, and the giant blue pearl is in the ice crystal mussel hidden at the bottom of the lake.

The number of salvages required for the mission...... 20 capsules.

Lin Xiao didn't go looking for the Ice Crystal Big Mussel, his task was those alien beasts that were not stunned by Captain Thunder.

Spearfish, giant pincer spider crab, icy octopus......

There are B-level ones, and there are some C-level high-risk ones that leak through the net.

Under this water, they are an obstacle to the mission of the Thundering Squad.

The black knife in Lin Xiao's hand appeared, his body swept by, and one by one the strange beasts were cut into pieces.

……

Giant blue pearls aren't that hard to find.

Those ice crystal mussels are very gentle and have no attack power.

The problem is that they can be lurking deep beneath the sediment at the bottom of the lake.

Moreover, the shells on the surface are all static power crystals, without any energy fluctuations, and the hunters can't detect them at all.

You can't blast it out with power.

Because these ice crystal mussels are harmless renewable resources for the Hunters' Association.

In order not to harm them, the Thundering Squad can only carefully explore and excavate.

Night.

Burst! Burst! Burst......

The soaking Thunder Squad came to the shore and breathed in the fresh air.

"Land!" Silver shield Jiang Jing raised his hands high and shouted with joy.

"It's so backbone!" Angry hammer Abin was also so moved that he lay on the ground.

"These things are so hard to find..."

The butcher knife Sun Ke held the blue pearl in his hand that was about ten centimeters large, and sighed:

"Fortunately, Lin Xiao is very good at energy crystallization, otherwise, it is estimated that it will take more than a day."

Underwater, Lin Xiao used static crystals to condense a number of excavation tools for his teammates to use.

He himself controlled the giant crystalline arm and dug frantically at the bottom of the lake, so that he could have gathered 20 giant blue pearls today.

"Captain..."Lin Xiao looked at Captain Lei Ming and asked:

"Do you want to rest, or do you want to contact the Hunters' Association?"

"It's too late..."Lei Ming rubbed his wet hair, and said helplessly:

"Let's go back to the chariot for the night, and then leave tomorrow morning......"

……

Use Vailon to remove moisture from clothing.

Lin Xiao lay on the crystal chair, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the group.

Ling Xue sent several messages just now-

[We flew into the sky and saw the lake from afar! 】

[It's on the southeast side of the Valley of Darkness, and we entered it from the west entrance, in the opposite direction!] 】

[Why did White Flash run over there?] 】

【Snow Girl Question Mark.ipg】

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he remembered......

Bai Shan's scorching iron team passed in the direction of the worm forbidden bush he had cut.

As for Captain Burst Flame and Captain Pink Candy, they may be troublesome to weed and go directly in the other direction.

Therefore, the entrance of the Iron Team is completely different from the two teams of Rose.

No wonder they haven't seen each other in a long time......

Lin Xiao shook his head and typed and asked:

[Have you seen the white flashes of them?] 】

[Not yet, but... I saw a chariot from the sky at noon]

[It should be theirs, the hunters are not there, it is estimated that they are going to destroy the ghosts]

[Tomorrow, our two teams should be able to get there]

That's a coincidence, he's going to be over tomorrow......

Glancing at the XP points in the panel, Focused Energy - Lv2 (92.5%), Static Energy - Lv2 (64.8%)......

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth flashed with a chuckle, and he typed:

[Okay, see you tomorrow]

【？？？ 】

Miss Ling Xue sent a question mark.
