"We were on a volcano full of poachers and could be discovered at any time, with no supplies, no backup, and more than half a day later than the original entry time." Feng Manyun held his forehead, not knowing what expression to make to his companion, "Is it really time to discuss this matter?" ”

In the early afternoon, the group was lucky enough to find a private airship willing to board the volcano in the landing pad. The asking price of the dinghy was not low, but it only promised to land ten kilometers below the lava line, and the desperate hunters had to pinch their noses and agree. The team ascended the mountain from the Ryan Yeru side, and by the time they reached above the lava line, it was already dusk. Bare lava rivers and a dark yellow sky all over the place vividly render the whole volcanic atmosphere of ghost rage.

"You've heard Cat Cat say that he's a Meralu after all. Isn't it okay to send him away before the contract has been decided? Nie Xiaoyang wore a simple mask on his face. It was not without any benefit to set out from Ryan Yelu, after all, the Eastern Country had many years of experience in volcanic hunting, and the Yoda brothers and sisters finally supported some of the small hunting groups with insufficient hunting equipment, including this batch of masks. Although it is far less suitable than the combined use of the Reverse Scale Squad, it is also a high-quality product reserved by the Guild, which can filter a considerable part of the toxins and reduce the damage of the volcanic ash mist to hunters.

"Why do you have to hold on to 'Melalu'?" The white-clothed hunter asked inexplicably, "I am an aboriginal and a Xishu hunter, what is the difference between his situation?" ”

In the end, Meco stayed in the border town with the task of taking care of her luggage, but the hunter's luggage was full of hunting equipment and supplies, and of course she took it with her when she left, leaving only two empty huts for Meralu.

"It's different...... the tall hunter scratched his head, rummaging through his head for an answer, and finally said with a hammer in his hand, "We've hunted together, and everyone in the Little Hunter knows what kind of guy you are—you're such a good hunter and a hero of Locklac. You barely know about that Elu named Meco, and besides, the first time he talked to you, it was to covet your hunting fruit, doesn't that tell the story? ”

"The first time the Little Hunters met me was because of 'that guy'. If it weren't for him, until now, I'm afraid I would still be the impression of a Xishu hunter for everyone, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience so many things with you. Feng Manyun's eyes outside the mask were full of seriousness and sincerity, "Mei Ke...... It may just be missing an opportunity. ”

"I've been humiliated by Morin's assessment team, and I've been rejected by the Hunters' Guild, and I know what it's like. If it weren't for a few lucky encounters, I might have had to spend the rest of my life as an ordinary villager in Xuelin Village. The white-clothed hunter let out a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Meko wants to find a way to live with dignity as the accompanying Elu, I don't want to erase his expectations, maybe I can try to give him a chance." ”

"But ......"

"Alright, you two." Captain Qin made a gesture to close his voice, "In terms of the rules of the hunting group, no one has the right to interfere with the choice of companions over their entourage, and what kind of entourage Ai Lu wants from Manyun is his own business." The hammerwoman changed her words, "But in the end, the little hunting group still has to act as a team, and as the captain, I have the obligation to remind you: if you really keep that guy named Meco, from now on, no matter what he does against the interests of the hunting group, you will take responsibility for him." ”

"Of course." The Xishu hunter nodded.

"Wow...... I've never seen a big hero go out of his way to defend anything. Even at the risk of inhaling dust, Jia Xiao lifted the corner of the mask slightly, threw the candy stick into his mouth and chewed it, "It seems that you really like that little guy." ”

"Nope." Feng Manyun flatly denied it, "I just think he is a little similar to me." ”

"Cat Cat told me that even by Elu's age, Mei Ke is younger than you." Qin Shuiyu chuckled, "Maybe you two can really become good comrades-in-arms." ”

"Captain!" The tense and dreary atmosphere since the ascent of the mountain eased a little, and the companions in the distance just happened to return from the distance. Taking into account the poachers that may appear at any time, Qin Shuiyu asked the female archer and Xiong Fuji to go together, and also released the cat and the two together, whether it was escape or fighting, this combination could cope with it.

"What's the situation up ahead?" Seeing Shentu Miaoling frowning, Head Qin hurriedly asked.

"I never thought about it...... This is what it would be like to have a hunting ground occupied by poachers. The archer wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Standing here, I can smell the death of more than ten different lord-level monsters - all fresh." The cat jumped back from Shentu Miaoling's shoulder back to the owner's body, "There are countless of them earlier." We passed by the cave of a beast dragon species...... They didn't even spare the cubs. ”

"These bastards!" Xiong Fuji poked a string of sparks from the tip of his spear on the rocky ground, "None of the things on this mountain are good, as long as I encounter them, I will definitely slaughter them first!" ”

"Hey, you're counting us in." Nie Xiaoyang pointed to his nose and said to Da Xiong.

"No, we can't let these things mess with our actions." The little head reminded. As early as before leaving, Master Anfei reminded the little hunting group that they might see such a tragic situation, "Even if you really break the glory of hunters and kill a few innocuous poachers, it will not help you in the overall situation." The commission of the small hunting group is to investigate the source of the commission, and if the initiator of the mission is not found, there will be a fourth and fifth hunting grounds that will suffer the same fate - Miao Ling, are there any clues along the way? ”

"We did encounter several teams of poachers," or Shentu Miaoling was more rational, "all small teams of a few to a dozen people." However, I was worried about being discovered by the patrols, so I just glanced at them from a distance and noted their directions and routes of movement, and as for what they were communicating, I was powerless. ”

The rumored release of the purge commission was because of the appearance of an unknown dragon family. However, it is very difficult to find a top-tier predator species from scratch on a vast volcano, not to mention that it may not even exist.

"If you don't have a clue, wouldn't it be better to follow more people?" Xiao Zuoqing was instructed to follow behind his seniors from the beginning of his ascent to the mountain, and he didn't even make a sound, and finally couldn't help but tilt his head at this moment, "This is no different from finding a five-star hunter in Golden Feather City - the whereabouts of the masters will not be revealed to ordinary people, but wherever they go, they will attract more people to watch like pollen." ”
