Volume II: The Relic of the Divine Throne Chapter 7: The Powder Keg I

This game is called chopping wood, and it's really a game of chopping wood.

The models that were laid down in the past are now to be removed from the traps, chopped into small pieces with a firewood knife, and then trapped into a bundle, and carried to the greenhouse room of the old campus here, those energy furnaces are not like the steam engines of trains, and more coal is used, and the energy furnaces use the ash dust produced after the burning of wood, which can be further used as fertilizer for some medicinal plants.

The difference between this and chopping wood is that the model needs to be chopped firewood, whereas they cut the wooden model into real firewood.

Xia Ming didn't admit that he had lost, because the gap in their strength was too big, even if Mu Siyu was promoted to the referee and didn't join the game, it was impossible for those guys from the Storm Club to win.

There are three ways to win, one is to cut off all the opponent's targets, which is impossible, the second is to knock all the opponent's people out, which is also impossible, and the third is to directly take away their flag, which has a glimmer of hope, that is, the flag is not on Mu Shiyu.

Xia Ming felt that Suros would put the flag in his command base, because this was the most normal logic, especially with such a small hunting game, it was just as easy to find out where the flag was hidden.

The loss was too simple, no matter how unconvinced Xia Ming was, he could only chop wood.

When the instructor saw that he had lost, he was unabashedly happy, and he really wanted to step on his stinky face.

"I think you're in partnership with me. Xia Ming said.

"I've given you one more person, see how much I take care of you, in fact, you don't need to thank me too much.."

So, in the afternoon, Xia Ming and his party sharpened the rusty firewood knife, tied a bundle of ropes and went on the road.

Now he is also qualified to get a more detailed map of the academy, from the map, the ancient forest is actually an extremely irregular circle, the terrain gradually rises from all sides, the edge of the ancient forest where they are now is actually a flat land, occasionally inclined and undulating, but it is easy to walk.

High in the middle of the terrain is a large mountain, which blocks the view to the back. The Hunter Academy was close to the north walls, and it stands to reason that they could actually see them.

However, they had never encountered such a mountainous terrain before, and even when they advanced to the hunters, their direction seemed to cross the area.

The forest is governed by a mysterious law that is so different from the natural order around it that it seems strange to what it actually is.

The College borders the forest with a low wall, some of which are covered with a thick layer of black moss, and in the spring they grow freely in quiet corners, and in the autumn and winter they slowly wither and die, and few people pay attention to their presence.

The Promethean Hall is a kind of ancient religious church that has long been lonely, they believe in a kind of "god" that is "not a god", this god is called "SCIENCE", about 800 years ago, they were in their heyday, and they had a huge amount of money to build a church, they fenced this mountain as their holy place.

But for some unknown reason, their legend disappeared with the King of the Round Table eight hundred years ago.

Their churches and walls have the same or even longer grades than the rest of the world.

Xia Ming and his party came to the wall and passed through the door that had long been gone.

"Boss, how big is this land?" asked Kiko.

Xia Ming said: "It's bigger than it seems, in short, there is no day of hard work is not good, as far as I know, there are about 1,000 people in our first grade, and there are at least 500 model targets."

The people were immediately deflated, and now if there were leaves on the ground, they would lie down.

They were still dressed in their morning snowfield hunting suits, with blurred handwriting on their backs. The hunting knife on the waist was not removed, and the motorized bow and crossbow and shaft crossbow type were also carried. Even in winter, there is still a danger in the confines of the Hunter Academy.

Those wild beasts and poisonous insects that are not afraid of the cold, such as koalas, snow foxes, fire pythons, etc., are also best avoided when they encounter them.

"Don't go too far, everyone is in the same formation as when hunting, you are rich and safe, you are integrated, talk less, do more, and gather when the rope is used up. Xia Ming said.

Each of them carried a disk/a kind of compass/, and in the direction, they would not get lost.

Fugui said, "Then we will walk behind." ”

"Okay, I'll be in front with the sprouts, and the left and right wings will follow. ”

Bean Sprouts said, "Can't let them be in the back." ”

Xia Ming said: "The coordinates of those traps are not very accurate, and if we open up the distance in the morning, there will definitely be a lot of falls." ”

Fugui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's what I said in the back." ”

Bean Sprouts wanted to say something, looked at Xia Ming's indifferent expression, and didn't say anything more.

After they were gone, until their backs disappeared from behind the trees, Fortune and Peace sat down, and made a bonfire under the rhizome of an ancient tree with the planks that had been removed from the trap, and made a bonfire.

The two brothers set up a shelf on the bonfire and put two pieces of sweet potatoes on it, which can be regarded as a celebration.

The trap template is based on the height of the monster, and so far, the largest monster they have ever seen is the Piercing Wolf II of the Netherworld, which is more than two meters or three meters tall, just enough to be stuffed through the gate of the Promethean Pavilion.

The Hunter Academy is also aimed at the training of this body type, and there are also some monsters that are good at climbing, such as the spiny carapace rat, the treacherous red spider, etc., so many trap templates are placed in a high position, which causes some difficulty for Xia Ming and others to disassemble.

The best way to deal with these abandoned traps is to use the pull of the crossbow to fly up and give them a hard blow, just like in a hunting game. However, this does not clean up, and many of the remaining planks are set up in movable pliers, which is also more physically demanding.

Xia Ming simply climbed up along the pole of the trap, unscrewed the bolts one by one, freed the movable pliers, and the mold target fell off from it.

The consequence of this is that if you encounter some trigger-type traps, he will be thrown out as a model target if he is not careful.

Su Lingxuan is a relatively quiet girl, she wants to help split the mold target plank into small pieces of firewood, Xia Ming didn't say anything, but later, Xia Ming found that she had worn out several blisters, and only then did she know that this was a stubborn girl.

"Won't you hurt.. Really.."

Xia Ming grabbed her hand in distress, but fortunately before leaving, he carried some trauma medicine on his body, sprinkled some medicine powder, and carefully wrapped it with a cotton belt, which made Xia Ming more comfortable.

"You don't have to work, give me the wood knife... I'm going to chop these planks, and you help organize them."

"Thank you.." She lowered her head and whispered, her face flushing slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Ming walked away embarrassedly, not saying anything more about this matter, he asked casually: "I see that your mobile bow and crossbow are also used well, why is it not good." ”

"Why haven't you been?" she asked.

"I'm because.." Xia Ming almost told the matter of "Hunting Night", remembering that it was a secret mission, so he continued, "That's because I didn't take the exam, didn't you take the exam either?"

Su Lingxuan shook her head, "You didn't take the exam, so you don't know, the assessment method of this kind of subject is snatched, I... Didn't get enough points. ”

Xia Ming thought about it, with Su Lingxuan's shy personality, it was reasonable.

Xia Ming began to work and cut the mold target into small pieces with a firewood knife, Su Lingxuan's firewood knife was taken by him, so naturally he could only help him pack up the chopped firewood, neatly stack it on a rope woven with plant vines, and then trap them into a bundle.

They didn't speak for a long time, and along the way, they put bundles of firewood along the way, and when they returned, they could also be used as a marker for the route.

With the last rope left, Xia Ming suggested stopping and resting first.

He looked back and saw that there was no one, and the silence around them was a little awkward.

Xia Ming then said to him: "Why did you say before that you couldn't let Fugui and them be in the back?"

For this question, Xia Ming is actually a little strange.

Su Lingxuan said: "The hunter code names of the two of them, one is called Fugui and the other is called Ping'an, don't you think anything?"

Xia Ming was stunned, rich, safe, rich, peaceful, what's so strange, it's still catchy when he reads it.

Su Lingxuan said: "They are in the same class as me, and they often skip class and do not take the final exam. ”

"What do you mean. . . They skip class because... Lazy?"

Su Lingxuan nodded, "If you don't pay attention to them, they can lie down all day." ”

"No wonder, no wonder.." No wonder the code names are so appropriate, Xia Ming sat on a bundle of firewood and asked, "Then they are at the moment.."

Su Lingxuan said: "It's still in place, or just ran away.."

Xia Ming smiled after hearing this.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xia Ming said: "I laughed at me and thought I knew you... Actually, it's all my unilateral thought, otherwise how could we lose so badly. ”

Su Lingxuan asked cautiously: "That sister of the Storm Society, how.. We have a lot of people, and we can get around her before their people arrive. ”

Xia Ming said: "The key is that I don't know if their commander is lying, the flag can't be carried on his body, he really put the flag on the side stronghold?"

"You actually know that, don't you?"

"I knew he was lying when she showed up, but it was too late." Xia Ming hugged his head and said distressedly, "I shouldn't have talked nonsense with him at that time, I just cut down the stronghold, and then searched the flag out." ”

"But... How could she suddenly appear. Su Lingxuan asked.

"She's a hunter, she's not like us rookies. Xia Ming said that he remembered the girl's hearing, and he was afraid that she would find out what they were doing when they were circling behind.

Su Lingxuan shook her head, unable to understand, she suddenly had the courage to ask, "You.. Like her... Is it?"

Xia Ming shook his head and said: "She's just my eldest brother, and she's not very iron, but she can fight and has never lost; ”

Su Lingxuan couldn't help laughing, Xia Ming saw that she was happy, and continued: "I heard that the Student Union and the Storm Society are going to fight, do you know why?"

Su Lingxuan shook her head.

Xia Ming said: "Because of me, I smashed the business of the student union. ”

Su Lingxuan exclaimed: "But aren't you from the student union?"

Xia Ming whispered, "Have you heard that the intelligence department of the student union has been bribed?"

Su Lingxuan nodded and said, "I heard, I like their postman very much, it's beautiful, isn't it?" she said, "But the people of the Storm Society said that they were bought by private individuals, and then that afternoon, the people in the discipline management went to check it, and now they have suspended all their business, and I think the letter I sent home can't be delivered now." ”

Xia Ming scratched his head, as if he had said something wrong, he said, "That's really sorry, in fact, this thing... I caused it, I was the Herrick, but I really didn't know it was going to cause you trouble. ”

It's no wonder that the wooden bird he sent out last night hasn't come back yet, and this kind of private message to contact them will probably be detained and checked...

Xia Ming stuck out his tongue in his heart, they really deserved it.

Bang~

Suddenly, a short explosion came from the forest ahead, and under the spray of flames, red smoke rose into the air.
