Chapter 683: Old Knowledge
The small hunting group shuttled through the corridor between the cabins, and from time to time unfamiliar faces came up to greet them. The young hunters had to stop whispering for a while, and let Sha Minghai lead everyone through one cabin after another, while dealing with curious stares from all directions.
The sand scorpion training camp was originally opened for hunter orphans, abandoned babies and survivors of the disaster, and most of the children in it were fatherless and motherless, and they ate the union's subsidies when they were young, and the people who grew up around them all had similar experiences. The union selects trainees for various positions in the airship from these people, one is because the training of large hunting equipment involves the secrecy of the royal family and the union, and the selection of these children raised by the union can at least know the roots, and the other is to give these poor children a way out to make a living.
Almost all of the young people have Sha as their surname, and they have eaten and lived together since they were children, and they have advanced and retreated together, and the cohesion is much stronger than that of a general training camp. Therefore, after the incident of the thundering sand sea, the five people of Shaminghai were looked at by the hunters, and a considerable number of their companions in the camp chose not to leave. Before Luciu came to the door, the hunters had been making ends meet on short-term commissions and workshop help.
Even a small war airship cannot be controlled by just three or five people. At least three mechanics are required to be on standby in the command module, and the observers on the lookout also need to change shifts and rest after a long period of work; If a battleship wants to be fully firepowered, it must ensure that each shipboard weapon has a dedicated controller, and there is even more than one in the heavy weapons room. Coupled with the maintenance and repair of the power furnace, propeller and pipeline facilities on the airship, most of the personnel of the Sand Scorpion Team who were stranded in Golden Feather City were recruited by Lu Xiu in one go in this commission.
The knowledge of the spaceship, Luciu, the nominal buyer, is far less clear than the actual operator. Sha Minghai walked from the cargo hold to the deck with the little hunting group with ease, and also saw a few familiar faces. The bald-headed, sturdy hammersmith Shatai was busy tinkling in the stern of the cabin, repairing the tart that had been damaged by poachers; A huntress named Sharan took the captain's place, guarding the lookout and meticulously observing the situation. The little hunting group came all the way to the power furnace cabin, and looked inside through the window, and a slightly thin young man beside the hot stove was holding the taper and wrench, leaning on the closed power furnace in a daze. Sha Rumo knocked on the window, but did not get any reaction from the people inside.
Captain Sand Scorpion sighed and said apologetically, "Everyone's forgive...... This kid's name is Sha Ye, so I'd better leave him alone for now, and I'll introduce it to everyone in the Little Hunting Group later. β
"What's wrong with him?" Head Qin asked quietly.
"Not everyone in the sand scorpion survived that evil challenge. One of our team members was killed in the Everglades. The observer replied in a deep voice, "The best mechanic in the training camp and the best performers in hunter training, that kid was a close friend of Noko before his death, and dreamed of one day becoming the chief mechanic of a large hunting ship." After such a long time, the sand scorpion has finally been able to board the airship once, so let him commemorate it quietly for a while. β
"Did the guy named Aemon do it?" Xiao Yang listened to it, and gritted his teeth hatefully. There is nothing more heinous than strangling a young hunter's path as the first step.
"No, it's Zhuang Dusk, the second son of the declining Zhuang family." Sha Rumo said calmly, "At least that's the answer given by the Hunter Guild after listening to our description. β
The challenge festival of nearly three years ago was already a symbol that only existed in memory for the hunters in front of them. The sand scorpion team that came out of the swamp experienced a lot of ups and downs, and by the time everything had stopped, more than a year had passed. The hunters did not have the opportunity to commemorate their families, and even the bones of their old friends were probably still sunk somewhere in the swamp at this moment, leaving the young people's hearts with nowhere to rely on.
"Sorry......" Hearing Zhuang Dui's name, Shentu Miaoling's heart twitched, clenched her cage hand to a clucking sound, and bowed sincerely.
"Don't say that-" Sha Rumo hurriedly waved his hand, "Over the past few days, we have heard a lot about you and the dealer. That guy was able to subdue the law, thanks to the mediation between you and the Black Star Twins. You didn't do anything wrong, but instead helped the sand scorpion with a heartfelt matter, and we should thank you. β
"I'm quite envious of that guy, he fought hard and died easily. It's not like us, we have to drag such a body, and fight against the white eyes of the whole city. The young driver's face was unsure of whether it was happiness or helplessness. In the world of hunters, as long as someone makes a monster for a day, they will probably always be a monster - whether that is his choice or not.
The airship already belongs to the small hunting group, and from now on there will be time to visit and familiarize. In addition, under the heavy topic, the excitement of everyone starting the hunting ship quickly dissipated, and there was no need to visit the next cabin, so everyone in the small hunting group simply found a quiet room to rest on the spot.
Even if they are employees of Qin Shuiyu and his party at the moment, it is inconvenient for the Sand Scorpion team to participate in the internal meetings of the Little Hunting Group. Listening to Sha Minghai closing the hatch from the outside, and the footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lu Xiu finally couldn't hold it anymore, pressed his hand on the table, and couldn't wait to ask: "What about Feng Chen, have you found him?" β
A close playmate since childhood, a teammate on the hunting grounds, and one of the few fellow villagers south of the snowy mountains, Lu Xiu is more eager than anyone else to see the dust that has been lost for many years. Although the danger of the Little Hunting Group was the driving force that drove Lu Xiu to travel thousands of miles to the Eastern Country, the Dragons were always thinking about the possibility of reuniting with their best friends on the road.
Hearing this, everyone in the small hunting group looked at each other, and after a while, Nie Xiaoyang shook his head helplessly and said, "The hunting grounds are all destroyed, how can I find them?" As if he felt that his words were a little ambiguous, he hurriedly added, "That kid has a great fortune and a great life, and there should be no danger." However, Ryan Yelu has become a mess, and it is even more difficult to contact him. It's not that you don't know, his ability is so great that the Knights can't find anyone, and we can't do anything about it. β
"I have long guessed that this commission is really to contact the seniors of Fengchen......" Xiao Qing'er stood in the corner, listening to the discussion of the seniors, and her eyes were filled with irrepressible joy. The cat turned her head and glared at the female flute with her green eyes, and made a silent gesture with her palm on her lips. The little girl also "booed" meaningfully, and beat her chest lightly, saying that she would definitely keep secrets for her seniors.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and for a while, they only heard a soft cough in the darkness in the corner of the room: "What a disappointment...... It's been so long, and a few of you still haven't grown at all, and you still look like rookies who only rely on your own minds, and I don't know how the Black Star Twins taught such students. β
"Who?" Xiong Fujiyi lifted the lampstand on the table and shone into the shadows of the cabin. Everyone in the hunt group stood up in unison, pressing their hands against the grip of their weapons. The man in the corner was of short stature, and had been hiding in the shadows since the group entered the cabin, and no one had noticed until the last second.
"Ryan Yelu coincides with natural and man-made disasters, and the emergency commissions in the country are gathered, and there is still a surplus to be able to make two five-star commissions." The short man slowly stepped out of the corner, the corners of his mouth raised sarcastically, "The situation has come to this time, and what about you?" Bought an airship at any expense, and fought with poachers to break the bloodstream, just to find a fugitive? If it weren't for the fact that the hunter badge on your body was genuine, I would have thought you were playing a hunter game. β
"Orson?" Feng Manyun blinked vigorously, and finally saw clearly the photography that gradually appeared in the jumping firelight. The appearance and figure of the "One-Star Hunter" after the influence of the potion have changed too much, and the Xishu Hunter can still vaguely recall the appearance of his obedience to Lu Xiuyan on the Shahai Sea from the figure of the person in front of him and the anger in his eyebrows.
"Is that you?" Nie Xiaoyang's eyebrows were horizontal, and the astonishment on his face instantly turned into undisguised disdain, "In the huge hunter world, you are the only one who is not qualified to count us down like this, right?" β
Everyone still remembered that Sha Rumo had said before he got on the boat that there was an old friend of the small hunting group on the boat, and the young people thought that they were talking about the companion of the sand scorpion, but they didn't expect it to be the plague star in front of them.
Ao Sen did help the little hunting group a lot when the thundering sand sea, especially when Lu Xiu and Feng Manyun destroyed the pharmaceutical workshop, they played an extremely key combat force. However, just like the five members of the Sand Scorpion Squad, Orson was under the influence of a mysterious potion at that time, and no matter what he did, he couldn't count. The Little Hunter's impression of him is still stuck in the deeds of Zhuang Du and Chu when he was in the swamp, and the sinister arrow that shot Guo Peng. Knowing the personality of this one-star hunter, the young hunters naturally instinctively raised their vigilance against him at first sight.
"What did you hear?" Jia Xiao scolded angrily, "Why are you hiding here? β
"Why don't you ask this guy," Ao Senhun didn't care about pointing to his weapon, Shi Shiran raised his hand at Lu Xiu, "It was he who told me that I could move around the airship at will." β
"No...... I mean, how did you get to the ship? The epee hunter changed his tone and asked, "You're not welcome here!" β
"I didn't even think about coming." Ao Sen moved his legs and sat on an empty chair between Jia Xiao and the head of the group, his legs hanging in the air and swaying slightly, "Every time I see you, something bad will happen to me, the last time I became the appearance of a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and the last time I lost the challenge." You're like a curse, and if I could, I would like to get as far away from the group as possible - but this guy doesn't say yes. β
Seeing that the suspicious eyes of his companions turned to him, Lu Xiu hurriedly opened his hands and stopped in front of everyone in the small hunting group: "Everyone, listen to me, Senior Aosen was invited by me, and he has no ill will towards us." β
At that time, the dragon people wanted to hide from the chief deacon, and there was no choice. Thinking about the safety of the small hunting group, the dragon man had no choice but to rush to the doctor: "The preparation for our trip is only one afternoon, and the channel for buying the airship was introduced by Aosen's seniors, and the supplies along the way are also his plans, if there are no suggestions from the seniors on the airship, I may not be able to get here in time." Xiaolongren looked at Ao Sen, who was sitting upright, and said earnestly, "The seniors have really helped a lot along the way. β
"It's pretty much the same to say that you coerced me." The dwarf hunter snorted, not denying anything.
Another effect of the elixir residue is that Lu Xiu's deterrent effect on the drug recipient has not lost its effect so far, and this control effect is especially significant in Orson. The healer tried to get Orson to come into contact with the other dragonmen, and the cringe and irritability of the one-star hunter were indistinguishable from those of normal monsters. However, no dragonman can control Orson to act against his will like Luciu. There are no other comparison cases, and the doctor can only guess that perhaps it is because the two have been together for too long in the thundering sand sea in such a strange state, and by the way, all the abnormalities are attributed to the true meaning of the bloodline that the academic community has not studied thoroughly.
Despite his ability to have red pupils, the young hunter was reluctant to distort the will of others like Emon, but he had no choice but to do so in a hurry. The extent to which the red pupil can influence Orson's will, only he knows it, judging from the performance along the way, the degree to which the one-star hunter has done his best may be mixed with his own will.
"Listen, I don't care if the person you want to meet is a poacher or a defector hunter, my original mission was just to get this dragon boy to you safely, and now it's done." Orson lazily stretched out his arm and pressed the lampstand that Xiong Bushou was holding back to the table, "I could have slept in that corner, but your actions are really infuriating." A group of rookies can only see what they want to see, without a little bit of the consciousness that a hunter should have, no wonder they will be played around in the hunting ground...... How long have your ships been tracking colognes? Have you seen any traces of the unicorn? β
The two fluttering questions hit the most anxious part of the little leader's heart. The hunting group's stay on the volcano was too short, and Master Anfei's investigation only had a slight clue, and the hunting ground was destroyed by the battle of the ancient dragons. Qin Shuiyu then had to take the commission from Ryan Yelu, trying to find Feng Chen's whereabouts by tracking the trail of the ancient dragon species. However, after a few days, the little hunting group's painstaking monitoring could only get the movements of the golden lion, and the unicorn that made a big fuss on the volcano was nowhere to be seen, which made the group leader have to question his decision again.
"Do you mean...... What's your clue? The female archer asked suspiciously.
"I heard from His Highness Ryan Yelu that you set out on the night of the disaster, and you should not know what happened in Border Town." The dwarfed one-star hunter cleared his throat, "The ancient dragon you're chasing, the unicorn, is even more seriously injured than you thinkβI'm not alarmist, it should be dead." β
