Chapter 516: The Returnee in the Desert

"Is that so...... "Anfinis looked up from his voyage report, the paper on which the spotter recorded the direction of the wind crumpled, "what an ancient dragon would do." ”

"Sure enough, Fengshan Long did it intentionally, right?" Andrei swallowed, the ability of a four-star hunter is enough to lead a medium-sized hunting commission, but in front of all the legends, he can also do some work of serving tea and pouring water and delivering documents.

"Think so, drive the sandstorm to stop in an instant, change the geomagnetic ......," old Ellu's finger swiped over the paper. After the full commission report of the challenge festival was made public, some top-secret information that originally belonged to the ancient dragon species also leaked out. The young Oonazqi was able to change the magnetic field of hundreds of kilometers in the entire hunting ground, and it is no longer an anecdote that only a few elite hunters can know, "The Ailu clan can identify the direction through geomagnetism, and the Fengshan Dragon wants to rob the dragon ship, only to this extent...... That's a lot of money. ”

"Every year, the Hunters' Guild goes out to pursue the sand ship of the Fengshan Dragon, but I haven't heard of a time when monsters will take the initiative to loot it." In the past three days, the Rum brothers have read the report in the hand of old Ailu, but they still can't see any clues from it, "Fengshan Dragon...... What does it want to do? ”

"How do I know?" Old Eru handed the voyage report to Andre, the intelligence work was far from enough, even a six-star hunter could only make the most basic guesses, "but it's definitely not a good sign," he guessed half-jokingly, "maybe it's planning to fight back against the humansβ€”with the wisdom of the ancient dragons, it's not strange to have such thoughts." ”

"This ......," the half-blood drake-man's mouth opened. Even though Andre was participating in the actual battle of the Harvest Festival for the first time, there were not too many rumors among the hunters about the battle against the Fengshan Dragon. Every time the sand boat set out, the Fengshan Dragon could only obediently follow the guidance of the hunters, even if the manpower was quite damaged, but he had never heard of the defeat of the warship, "Fengshan Dragon...... Is it that strong? ”

"Sober up, kid," Amphinis said half-intimidating, half-earnest, "in the Second Man-Dragon War, we were only at war with two ancient dragons. Those two guys are the same species as the Fengshan Dragon that is now lurking in the sea of sand. ”

"You have to be mentally prepared, in every previous harvest festival, that old whale may just be playing with us."

"Instructor!" At this moment, Shentu Miaoling anxiously pushed open the hatch, "According to your request, I checked the collection record entrusted by the Harvest Festival, and there is no record of the Little Hunting Group in itβ€”are you sure they are really here?" ”

"What?" Amphynis's pupils narrowed, "Sealing Dust's promotion commission is here, and they can't go anywhere else." Have you found any other commission records for the Little Hunters? ”

"The union hall is temporarily closed, and the only thing you can check is the records of commissions related to the harvest festival. I thought that at this time, there would be no more regular commissions. Seeing that old Ailu didn't know what to do, the girl was even more confused, "Could it be that there is something wrong?" ”

"Uh...... Little girl. Longa owed, the dragonman's head was bare, and the light of the flame bag shone on his forehead, "As far as I know, the Hunters' Guild has only suspended most of the regular commissions, and there is one ......"

"Brother, that Xishu's commission is even an ordinary large-scale hunting group that is unwilling to take it, how can a few children run so far?" Rum preemptively said, "I'm afraid I'm just having fun in the city and not participating in the harvest festival." ”

"Senior...... A few days ago, there were indeed three hunting groups belonging to Golden Feather City who hired an airship to take over the task of hunting the Diving Dragon a week before the harvest festival began. Andrei reminded in due course.

"They're just grabbing their position and trying to take advantage of the harvest festival in advance......" Longa waved his hand.

After the disintegration of the Xishu, the Submarine Dragon became active in several settlements with its back to the defense line in a short period of time. The Hunters' Guild has increased the commission remuneration several times, and the number of people receiving it has not improved, so it can only invest a large number of in-service hunters to barely make ends meet. Before the harvest festival, the dragon brothers admonished the union in the name of the captain of the sand boat, and suspended the handling of the submarine dragon commission, fearing that some hunters or organizations would not obey the leadership of the union and go out hunting without permission, and take the risk of the harvest sacrifice in the name of regular commission.

It's just that the ability of the submarine dragon to submerge into the sand is extremely strong, and the sandstorms created by the Fengshan dragon often can't bring enough blows to those races. After the harvest festival, the vitality of other monster populations is greatly damaged, and the human settlement is in ruins, and a large number of hunters are needed to rebuild the ecology of the species and the environment for human survival. These gluttonous people in the sand who have preserved their strength may take the opportunity to attack and cause devastating damage to the environment.

In the past, there were Xishu who were stuck here, and the union didn't need much attention, but this time it was very different.

Having figured this out in an instant, Longa's hand stopped in the air, "Wait...... Those kids are your students, right? ”

"Most of them." Amphini said solemnly.

"Then, Xishu must be the place where they will go. Fighting natural disasters, hunting murderous animals, and protecting the Terrans are all choices your little heroes will make. Rum spread his hands and said helplessly, "If nothing else, it should be inside the storm zone - like Xiao Luo in the past, it will really cause trouble for the instructor." ”

"They should be fine." Although Ailu's face was serious, her tone was not in a hurry, "At least in terms of luck, my students are not too bad." ”

"Teacher......" Luo Pingyang stepped into the hatch, his metal legs "banging" on the floor of the command room, "I contacted Master Tresor, the little hunting group left Locklac before the harvest festival began, and it should be ...... by now"

"Xishu, huh?" Amphines tilted her head, "Young people now...... I just like to play games that pretend to be heroes. ”

"Xiaoyang, they ...... Inside the Sandstorm? Through the porthole, Shentu Miaoling's gaze fell on the storm in the distance, and the clouds in the sky were slowly swirling, like a barrier separating the inside and outside of the desert into two ends.

"Don't worry, they'll be found." Luo Pingyang's big hand rubbed the girl's head.

…………

"Shredded bamboo shoots, pork ribs, fried meat with strange bird eggs...... Xiao Yang took out a plate of dishes from the food box, "I couldn't find a box to keep warm in a hurry, the rice was a little cold, so I could only settle some." ”

"That's already good." Shentu Miaoling smiled lightly, "Thank you." ”

After listening to the council, even if she is still temporarily living in the prison of the Knights, the guards of the girl are not as strict as before. The scene of the girl messing up at the meeting completely muddies the situation, and the number of references to "capital crimes" gradually disappears when the union leaders discuss the punishment of the huntress. Amphinis revealed that in the near future, the Knights would consider releasing Shentu Miaoling, and it was only at this time that Old Ailu won a chance to visit the prison for the companions of the Little Hunting Regiment.

"It's that he has no money!" Xiong Fuji dismantled the stage and said, "That guy bought all the remuneration from the last commission into ingredients, and even the money for hunting props ...... Hmmm! ”

The second half of the big man's sentence was covered back by Jia Xiao, and the big bear's face turned red, and he finally broke his companion's hand and muttered, "I don't say it." ”

The ingredients for a meal will not exhaust all of the boy's commission, but the valley hunters have spent half a month in the swamp, and after returning to the city, they have been disturbed by various rumors and predicaments, and the newly established small hunting group has not even eaten a meal in the small courtyard completely. Xiao Yang was worried about the decline of his skills, so he secretly bought several more copies, and started cooking practice while his companion was away, but in the end, he was discovered by Xiong Fuji.

The standard Hunter's Dry Food is known for its high heat and hardness, and although it fills the stomach quickly, it doesn't taste very good. Xiaoyang's cooking skills were praised by Miao Ling and Feng Chen when he was in the valley, and after he got serious, he only relied on the fragrance to make Xiong Fuji temporarily lose face, and called this opponent in light and darkness brothers. The companions of the hunting group took this opportunity to make Xiao Yang a few meals solidly, and only then did he exhaust his little possessions.

"Isn't it all your fault? - You yourself eat two-thirds of the food for five people. The money for ingredients and fire should be reimbursed together with the hunting group funds! The young man said angrily, pressed a plate of dishes on the table, and protected it with his hands, "Don't look at it, this dish is not for you to eat." ”

"Who is rare? If you don't do it, I'll nibble on dry food. Xiong Fuji rolled his eyes.

"He said it himself." Xiao Yang's fingers swept over the companions around him, "Everyone be a witness, in the future, the only food I will cook will not be Xiong Fuji's share." ”

"Huh?" The big man was in a hurry, "Don't! It's a big deal, I'll eat less...... Can't I pay for it? ”

Seeing the embarrassment of the young man, his companions laughed one after another, and Shentu Miaoling covered her face with her hands, and a little smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Let me see, it's important to let Sister Miaoling eat something first." Qin Shui Yu looked at the haggard girl. In fact, the huntress's complexion is much better than when she first entered the prison, and the smooth operation of the plan makes her hopeful, and her face is no longer as pale as before, "If you have any old things, you have to wait until you have eaten and drunk enough, right?" ”

"That's right, it's not easy to get into the prison of the Knights, we have to seize the opportunity to have a good visit." Jia Xiao took Lu Xiu's arm and retreated out of the door.

"The prison of the Knights...... What is there to visit? Xiaolongren was puzzled, "Is it possible to walk around casually in the place where the prisoners are held?" ”

"No matter what you do, let's go! Xiaoyang, take good care of Sister Miaoling and let her eat more, do you hear? Qin Shuiyu grabbed Lu Xiu and Xiong Buji one by one, and dragged them to the small door of the meeting room.

"Huh?" As soon as Shentu Miaoling stretched out her hand, in the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the crowded hut. Xiao Yang silently laid out the last dish, buckled the food box, and sat down beside the girl.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and the young man looked at it from the side, and a pair of chopsticks were placed in front of Shentu Miaoling, telling her to take it, and it was not okay not to take it.

"What, isn't it unappetizing?" The one-star hunter asked cautiously.

"No ......" girl looked a little reserved, I don't know if she had been alone in the prison for too long, forgot how to communicate with people, or some other reason. She hung her hand over her chest and tried to stretch it twice before grabbing her chopsticks and shallowly pinching a piece of green bamboo shoots.

"I'm already a one-star hunter." The boy said without words. As soon as he spoke, he remembered the girl's current situation, "Uh...... I don't mean anything other than to tell you the good news. His voice grew quieter and quieter until it became almost inaudible.

"I know." The bamboo shoots bloomed in his mouth, the delicious and sweet juice overflowed, and Shentu Miaoling's emotions were also released a lot, "Instructor Anfei will come to visit me from time to time, and I can hear everyone's things from his mouth...... I've only met Miss Qin once, and I never thought that she would be such a powerful leader. ”

"yes." Xiao Yang nodded hurriedly, "When she said that she was going to form a hunting group, we were all shocked, but it was actually quite smooth...... Eat ribs. The young man's eyes lit up, "It's just that the manpower of the small hunting group is far from enough now, and everyone is waiting for you to come back." ”

"I'm sorry," chewing some dishes in her mouth, Shentu Miaoling covered up her loss in a vague voice, "It's me who is too willful and has affected you." ”

The girl was telling the truth, whether it was snatching commission remuneration during the festival or falsifying commission records, these were rumors among hunters, and there was no tangible evidence. As for falsifying one's identity to participate in the competition, it is a crime that can be both big and small...... This matter was personally facilitated by Amphinis, could it be that the hunters in the world still have to hold the Black Star Twins accountable?

The only evidence is that the members of the training camp were taken into the Order.

Everyone...... Will you still accept me? ”

"Where?"

"Losing the dragon ship, the three transports entering the sandstorm are hitting the stones with eggs!"
