"It's bad luck...... the dusty pikeman put the tower shield back on his back, and looked with regret at the pit that had just formed in the volcanic rock not far away, the reddish rocks still rolling upwards from the pit, and the monsters that had escaped into it were obviously still digging downward.

Finally found a carapace that had not been seized by a large hunting group, and tried its best to lead it to a position suitable for combat, and the team just opened the battle formation, and the monster cut off a step by itself, in exchange for the space to dig a hole and leave. I never thought that the Crustacean would give up the fight so decisively, even at the cost of self-harm, the team couldn't chase after it, and could only watch it flee in front of its eyes.

This team of Shadowhunters is fully formed, and has been operating near the lava line since they came up the mountain, and it has been four full days now. In four days, they had only brought back one monster corpse of acceptable value, and the carapace was only one step away from becoming the team's second harvest. Now, however, if the purchase price is not doubled on the power of attorney, the team will lose money and will not even be able to purchase the next hunting item.

"Damn, I've never seen a sickle crab that only runs away in other hunting grounds!" The captain shook his head in hatred and retracted the weapon from his back. There is almost no possibility of tracking the monsters that are sneaking around, and although he is extremely unwilling, he can only declare that this round of hunting has ended in failure, "The monsters on the volcano are a bunch of bad seeds!" ”

"Captain......" the pikeman spat on the ground, his throat relieved a little after days of being ravaged by the volcanic ash mist, "everyone is almost at the limit." ”

"Want to go back to town?" The captain's eyebrows raised, and he said with displeasure, "I haven't earned enough money, how can I go back so easily?" ”

"That's not what I meant." The pikeman pointed upward, "There is at most one hunting opportunity in the future, and the horizontal and vertical is also one vote, and the remaining time on the volcano cannot be wasted." ”

"You mean going up?" Although the captain questioned, his eyes were clearly interested in this proposal, "This ...... Above is the area of a large hunting group. ”

"You can also see that the airship that those guys transport materials has not been cut off since the day before yesterday, and they have already made a lot of money, maybe they are already thinking about going home at this time." The Shadow Hunter grinned ugly, "The hunting ground is so big, they won't care about this for more than a dozen hours." ”

The decision on the hunting ground was racing, and the captain only sighed for a few breaths, then nodded heavily: "Okay, but you must be careful next." In your opinion, which of the two roads in the north and south is better...... Hell, what's going on? ”

The Shadowhunter's words were interrupted by a golden lightning bolt. The hunters raised their eyes to the peak. Thunder flashed in and out near the crater, and for a few days it had become a familiar thing for poachers in the area. It was a secret to the low-level poachers that there might be a high-level hunt going on at the top of the mountain, but they had neither the ability to covet that level of prey, nor were they disturbed by the battle at the top, so they simply had nothing to do with it and let it go.

However, the golden thunder light in front of him was extremely dazzling, and even the outline of the gray clouds near the crater was clearly reflected, and after the golden light dissipated, the clouds were dyed with a strange red, and the red halo was like an early sunset, along the trajectory of the clouds, and in an instant, it extended to the vicinity of the lava line dozens of kilometers away, and descended on the heads of this group of shadow hunters. With a sudden tremor of the ground without warning, the whole demon roared in anger.

…………

First swarms of insects and ants escaped from the rocky mounds where they were sheltered, then flying beetles gathered in swarms of red tides and flew down the hill - the little ones were the first to feel the change in humidity and pressure in the air, then the small herbivorous beasts and snake dragons, though somehow the movement of the wind and the subtle change in smell made them restless. As the red volcanic clouds spread around the main peak, the innate sense of crisis of more and more species was activated. Fear is like a gluttonous lord, with the help of the law of rank, clutching the creatures of the entire mountain in his hands.

Regardless of rank or species, no matter where they are in the food chain, in the moments leading up to the catastrophe, all beasts react in a similar way—the blood flow accelerates, they are restless, they want to attack several times more than usual, and even their cries are much worse than usual. At this moment, the monsters on the entire volcano had reached the limit of what they could understand.

The monsters screamed in a hurry, and at all costs escaped from the pursuing poachers and fled down the hill desperately. The roars of beasts in the mountains come and go, and it is really like the terrifying scene of the resurrection of thousands of ghosts in the legend.

"The volcano is getting out of control......

The author of all this is still lurking in the vicinity of the crater. After an incredible breath, the color of the lava darkened, and the splattering volcanic droplets stopped for a moment. But none of the Shadow Hunters present thought that the breath infused with the Golden Lion's full energy would be more powerful, and a moment of convergence would only mean an even more terrifying outburst to come.

Even the most powerful monsters have the courage to lift their swords, and experiencing natural disasters is a completely different situation. Just as the electric light was swallowed up by the lava surface, the two teams of Reverse Scale and Kaede immediately turned around and retreated, rushing down the mountain along the way they came.

"I told you! You didn't expect that! While galloping with his feet, he sealed the dust and said to the white night beside him, "Mixed into the battle of an ancient dragon, sooner or later it will be the result!" ”

"Instead of regretting, let's think about how to leave!" The captain of the Reverse Scale roared loudly. The old hunter hurriedly looked back, and the originally silent crater was emitting black smoke in large streams, and the center of the battlefield was shrouded in smoke, and the unicorn and the golden lion were also hidden behind the thick fog curtain, completely lost.

The volcanic rock shell trembled and shook like it had awakened a giant monster that had been imprisoned for years. Red meteors ejected from billowing smoke, lava droplets spilling out of the crater. The hunters' hideout two minutes ago, just a few seconds ago, had been struck by a pool of scorching red magma, and now it had been completely engulfed by the flowing fire that had fallen from the sky. If you move slowly, you and the others around you will be like the rock wall where you were hiding before, and you will be reduced to a pile of volcanic debris under the unimaginably high heat.

"The lava is starting to rise—" Feeling the ground getting hotter and hotter beneath his feet, the rhino involuntarily quickened his pace. In the Silver Armor Hunter's field of vision, a rock shell on the road ahead was rapidly turning red. Without thinking, the hunter stopped and rolled on his side, only to hear a muffled "poof" as a stream of magma broke through the thin crust of stone and gushed out of the ground like a fountain. The golden lion's breath seemed to have opened up several lava layers in a row, which allowed the gushing magma to reach the limit of the ground in a short period of time.

"This rocky field can't hold up!" Baptized by lava droplets, the hunting outfit of the white night was dyed iron red. The team hurriedly changed direction, but as far as the eye could see, more red-hot springs were rising from the weak spots of the rock formations, more cracks were opening in the already dilapidated ground, and there were still many intact roads.

The brittle and hard volcanic rock gradually softens under the action of heat, and after a while, it will be so weak that it cannot bear its own weight and collapse. The crater is overflowing with lava, and bubbling hot currents are spreading along the original lava channel to the sides of the riverbed. Kaede pounced on the little burns on his body with his cage hand, and said with some despair: "No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless, we can't outrun the lava!" ”

"Shut up!" Sen Luo glared at him and yelled viciously, "Don't you think we're unlucky enough?" The green-armored hunter paused his steps and listened to the air, but his eyes lit up and said, "Over there...... It's the sound of a propeller! ”

"You called the airship?" Feng Chen asked in surprise.

Rhino looked in the direction where the sound was, and in the specially made clairvoyant, an unusually bright signal light rose at the end of the field of vision, it was the beacon specially made by the Shadow Hunters, "It's not us...... It's Lena, that guy has finally found it! ”

As far as the eye could see, a black shadow flew through the layers of dense fog towards the hunters. The airship has a wide air compartment and a round bilge, which is the cargo airship to which the reverse scale belongs. The cargo boat was not fast, and it would tremble violently every time it passed through the smoke barrier, and it was clear that the large amount of sulfur ash gushing out of the engine had put too much load on the engine. However, this rickety spaceship is the only good news that hunters have seen in the long prelude to the end. Even though they knew in their hearts that the people on the cargo ship would not be able to observe them with the naked eye, the Shadowhunters couldn't help but wave their hands vigorously at the ship.

"It's time like this......" Hakuya muttered to herself, not sure if she was blaming the huntress for being away for too long, or lamenting the right moment. The ironclad hunter sighed lightly, and then ordered aloud, "Send a retreat signal and find a suitable position for abseiling, such weather is not suitable for airship activities, don't let them stay too long." ”

The airship circled around the hunters, finally locking onto the place where its companion on the ground had landed. The auxiliary propeller on the side of the battleship creaked and slowly turned and descended. The rope ladder was thrown down from the cabin, and the huntress's face eagerly peeked out of the hatch: "Come on!" The airship won't last long! ”

"It's been a long time!" The rhino leaped and was the first to grab the bottom of the jumping rope ladder in front of him. As soon as the Silverarmour Hunter's feet left the ground, there was a crunch on the volcanic rock where he stood, and a crack more than a foot wide burst open. The lava in the fissure is clearly visible, and it has eroded to the near surface.

"Climb up, the ground is going to collapse!" Lena waved her hand.

White Night took a deep breath and staggered over the lava chasm, only grabbing the ankle of his companion on the rope ladder. The rope shook, and the rhino's body sank downward, barely able to grasp the soft ladder. The Silverarmor Hunter looked down, and the rift in the ground widened and widened, expanding enough to allow a person to fall into it in a few breaths. The land where the hunters were was moving backwards, inch by inch away from where the rope ladder fell: "Jump on the captain, I can hold on!" ”

"That's the only way to do it......" Sen Luo dodged and brutally blocked in front of Feng Chen's group. The green-armored hunter bent down and rushed towards the rope ladder with his whole body of electric light, narrowly grasping the end of the human rope ladder and climbing to the upper level of the ladder with a few exertions.

"Lena, tell the airship to move ten meters to the right!" Climbing the ladder safely, Bai Ye looked at the rest of the people on the ground, the torn earth had pushed the dust sealers too far, "They can't jump, they have to pick up those guys on the airship!" ”

The huntress in the "I ......" hatch was about to react, but there was another tremor at the top of the mountain. The pressure-filled volcano finally erupted without reservation, and the magma wave rose from the mountain pass, flying all the way to a height of several hundred meters in the air, and the heavenly maiden peeled off the molten fire like a flower. With a bang, the ground where everyone was standing disintegrated inch by inch, like a collapsed domino, and the entire plot shattered into countless small pieces of floating land in an instant.

"No ——!" Standing on rocks that could only accommodate people, floating among the deep pools of hot lava, the Shadow Hunters crouched down and clung to the ground, barely keeping their balance. The volcanic eruption pushed the airship far away, and the battleship writhed left and right in the billowing smoke, trying to get close to the remaining four people, but in the harsh environment, the power furnace could not work normally, and no matter how the machinery roared and screamed, it was difficult to cross the moat of tens of meters.

Feng Chen estimated the distance of the rope ladder, and quietly touched the trapeze mechanism on his body with one hand, and was about to touch it, but Yu Guang saw the three Feng seniors beside him. The young man sighed lightly, but left it at that.

"Damn...... Leave us behind, and you'll know that none of these high-level Shadowhunters have a good thing! Despite seeing the powerlessness of the cargo ship, Kaede still sprinkled all his resentment on the character of the scale. The pumice stone under his feet was slowly sinking, and the old hunter picked up the two girls from left to right and jumped to a larger rock beside him. But this is only a stopgap measure, and the rising lava is eroding the Shadow Hunters' footing in waves, and it won't be long before the entire core area of the Demon Fury will turn into a sea of fire.

"Senior, I have a way to get us out of this kind of hellish place." The airship in the distance tried several times to no avail, and had to reluctantly pull up to the air. The young Shadowhunter jumped onto the pumice rock in Kaede's footsteps, looked into a corner of the night and said, "But you have to trust me......"

"We're going to die here! If I can live, I believe that hunter glory is all right! On Kaede's forehead, the sweat was instantly evaporated by the scorching air as soon as it appeared. The hunter's footsteps retreated with the erosion of the magma: "Whatever you want to do, just do it!" ”

"Then get ready and dance with me—"

"Where to jump?" The old hunter looked around and asked, inexplicably.

"You'll see." Feng Chen's body slowly lowered, but his eyes were tightly closed.

A hundred meters away in the air, a flowing molten flame illuminated a small patch of black mist in the mountains, and also illuminated a flying species hovering here. The crimson wings of the monster were clumsed into the ribs, like a crossbow bolt piercing through the thick smoke, and swooped towards the pumice where the four of them had landed.
