Chapter 544: Top Hunter's Guess
After exchanging information with each other and determining the next action, Luo Pingyang made a "please" gesture and gently closed the door behind everyone's backs on the grounds of "talking to the teacher alone".
"You didn't stop him?" The six-star hunter patted the sand ash on his body, and he pinched his fingers a few times with some discomfort, and then untied the cage hand of the hunting suit. Under the reflection of the light, Luo Pingyang found that his five fingers had been ground out of blood marks when he was digging before.
"Hmm." Amphinez leaned against the wall and nodded slightly.
"The other party only has two stars, you're not kidding, are you?" The old hunter's eyes didn't look like he was joking.
"That kid is still very strong." Old Ai Lu pursed her lips, "The number of roads in the military, and the hostages in hand, can't be done simply." What's more, they have been hiding their identities, who knows if the badge is real or fake? Maybe it's a five-star powerhouse. β
"Age doesn't always lie." The old hunter carefully wrapped his fingers in gauze, and replied noncommittally, "Besides, it should be your duty and mine to keep those men." β
"I'm not one of those hunter ancestors on the stele - the battle is over, so what? Find them and fight again? Ai Lu snorted, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Luo Pingyang, but saw that the face of the six-star hunter was not slightly better, "Hey, aren't you really angry?" β
"You're not my teacher β a teacher I know never makes excuses." He stopped treating his wounds, bent down, and looked at him like a monkey, "After you got off the boat, I swore to those little ones that you would be able to settle everything." β
The location of the Thundering Sand Sea is extremely delicate, and a little further west can be regarded as the realm of the Fierce Land, and the logistics network of the Hunter Guild is beyond the reach of the whip. The lifeboat fled in that direction, afraid that the other party still had a hiding place there. After the festival, Locklac was in ruins, and there were no resources to track it down, and with a little delay, those few Xiaoxiao were afraid that the mud cows would enter the sea, and it would be difficult to find them.
"Neither the situation on the deck was brought under control, nor the firing of the dragon rifle was prevented, and even the culprit capital was not left." Luo Pingyang counted Amphinis' faults.
"I also lost the dust...... I promised to bring everyone back to Locklac safely......" Old Eru said in a deep voice, covering her face with her hands.
Feng Chen's whereabouts disappeared before the lifeboat left, and eighty percent was taken away by the Fengshan Dragon, which is the common guess of the top hunters. The ancient dragon species is not alone in capturing humans, not to mention that the young man also has a strange connection with the ancient dragon. Master Peng assigned a hunter team in the hands of the shortage of people to search as much as possible near the battlefield, but Rao is five-star hunter also knew that this was just doing his best.
"After all, you didn't accomplish anything." Luo Pingyang squatted down and looked into Ailu's eyes, "This is not your style, what happened in the second half of the battle?" β
"After the ship stopped, that guy threw a boatman at me, what else can I do......" Amphines lowered his voice weakly, and hurriedly changed the subject, "but now that I think about it, that guy seems to be a close servant of the little prince, with whom I seem to have met a long time ago...... Feed! What are you doing? β
Amphinis couldn't help but exclaim, Luo Pingyang stretched out his broad arms, and lifted up old Ailu's back. Ailu's feet hung in the air, and her body fluttered in the air.
"Put me down, I'm your teacher!"
Luo Pingyang didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ailu's chest, and as the hunter's fingertips exerted force, Amphinis's face turned into a painful expression.
"Hiss......"
"Boom!" The old hunter pressed Amphines back to the ground, crossed his hands, and looked "sure enough", "You told me it was just an ordinary injuryβhasn't it healed yet?" β
It was an attack on Amphinis's shelter in Golden Feather Castle long before the Challenge Festival began. Legend has it that the hunter was inexplicably stabbed at the hands of a mysterious man in white, and at that time, old Ailu used the secret method of the clan to barely suppress the deterioration of the wound. After that, old Ailu has been acting as usual, but the black hunter did not expect that the teacher's hidden illness has not been cured for a long time.
"It's even worse." has been spied on, and Amphinez is no longer hiding, "but there will be some more time to toss." β
For months, the Blackstar Twins have traveled through the Challenge Sacrifice, campaigned for an antidote in the Flooded Forest, and exhausted their efforts to track down the whereabouts of the mysterious organization. Now that the affairs of Golden Feather City are resting, the two of them have rushed to Locklac non-stop, and there has never been a day of rest in between. Even Luo Pingyang felt that he was in a bad state, and Anfinis's injured body was of course even worse.
"It's been more than six months...... You should have told me a long time ago. The Black Hunter's tone softened slightly.
"Don't look at the patient in the eye β I'm getting old and not as resilient as I used to be." Ai Lu straightened up the big qi that was messed up by Luo Pingyang, "It will take more time to heal completely." β
"Back at Locklac, you'll recuperate for a while." Luo Pingyang said undoubtedly, "With this look, there is no way to continue the next battle." β
"How's that going to work? It's hard to track down the tails of those guys, if we can get the evidence of building a bridge with Wang Li's hunting group next, we will have a little more confidence in convincing the union......" Anfinis said a long list without thinking, but seeing that Luo Pingyang's face was still gloomy, he changed his rhetoric again, "Xiao Luo, we almost lost an ancient dragon just now, it's hard to guarantee that we won't lose the second one, I'm afraid I won't have such good luck next time." β
"I can handle it myself."
"You can't." Legend Aru retorted without hesitation, and added, "I'm also your teacher no matter what I say, and I don't need your orders to act." β
"Do you still have to fight over this issue now?" The old hunter asked helplessly. The two had been together for too long, and the Black Hunter knew that this stubborn old cat would never easily revise his decision.
"Today's events won't happen again." Amphines assured, "What's more, how could I be the only one missing from the Black Star Twins' actions?" β
"But I'm older than you."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The cabin of the dragon ship is seriously damaged, and there is no safer cabin, so I have to temporarily grieve the two here." Master Peng put his hands behind his back and watched as his subordinates tied Captain He and Lan Mei'er to the corner of one of the cabins of the airship.
"I've said it many times, and the effect of our medicine has faded!" Captain He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you have to continue to hold us like prisoners?" β
"This will only be decided after the observation of a professional Dr. Ailu." The old captain replied, "Until then, I suggest that you two should be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to cause any misunderstanding." β
Even at the last moment of the battle of the dragon ship, the two captains brought back valuable information for their companions, and correctly pointed out the movements of Wang Li's hunting group. But the final result was that the dragon ship "almost caught" to catch the absconding Emon and his party. This level alone could not completely dispel the doubts of the five-star hunters about them. Perhaps frightened by the invasion of the dragon striking ships in the past, Master Peng was extremely cautious in dealing with the potion.
We still have a team left on the hunting grounds! Hundreds of hunters' lives! Lan Mei'er said angrily. The field doctor on the dragon ship is not up to the tedious inspection work, the nearest professional doctor is in Locklac, even if he contacts him as quickly as possible, it will take at least a day to come and go, worried about the safety of his partners and subordinates, neither of the two captains can bear such a long wait, "Now is not the time to play the loyalty game!" β
"There's no game here," the old captain said, turning his face sideways, "you have your men, and I have my own men to consider, it's just a necessary measure in extraordinary times." β
"So that's it?" Captain He pursed his lips, "Let's go to the dragon ship with our heads shut, not only do we not say half thanks, but we want to fall into this result?" He straightened his chest and showed the rope wrapped around him. The three-star hunter was unloaded from his hunting suit, and the thick hemp rope was deeply squeezed into the inner lining of the cloth under this movement.
"Or let me remind you two that your so-called joint team has violated the demands of the union from the very beginning of their entry into this hunting ground. In other words, their lives and deaths are not guaranteed by the Hunters' Guild - seriously, so many Locklack's native hunting groups didn't get into this loophole, how did you get this news when you came all the way from Golden Feather City? β
Although Master Peng's words were cold, they were also true. Dig deeper, the three hunting groups did go out hunting privately against the ban of the trade union. In fact, at the first moment they launched the alliance, they had expected the worst-case scenario, but when they were broken by the five-star hunters, the two captains were still a little hot.
"Even if there is no stubble of the potion, I would like to tie you up for a day or two. Let's do some reflection for their respective captains here. Master Peng turned, and the last sound was hidden on the other side of the hatch.
"It's as stubborn as the rumors." Captain He shook his head.
"Actually...... Captain Zhong had already provided Master Peng with the approximate location of the airship, and now a team was already heading towards it. Bear with me for a while, and I think news will come soon. Seeing the five-star hunter leave the cabin, Ah Yuan, who followed at the end, said to the two captains with a reluctantly face, "But we can only try to collect information and actual rescue operations...... We won't have to wait until we contact Locklac to make a decision. β
"Is that so...... Lan Mei'er suppressed the anger on her face, and looked at the cabin door half-playfully. If there are no new changes, the situation on the airship to which the combined team belongs will not be clearer than the previous dragon ship, "It seems that we can only be here, pray that no more people die on the airship - is there anything to eat?" I'm a little hungry. β
"I'll go to Zhang Luo." Ah Yuan bowed down and hurried out of the cabin.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Master Peng!" Several teenagers had been waiting at the gangway for a long time, and as soon as they saw the five-star hunter appear, they immediately surrounded him.
"Anfinis students." The old hunter gestured.
"Master, I'm sorry for taking up your time, but we have something to ask......" Qin Shuiyu bit his lip and stepped forward.
"About that kid named Sealed Dust?" Without asking, the five-star hunter knew the boy's intentions, "I've heard about his performance in battle, and that kid is just as good as Rum's predecessors." The union will not give up on any hunter, let alone such a teenage hero. β
"Dust him...... Sure enough, it was taken away by Fengshan Dragon. Xiao Yang said nervously.
"That's the only explanation." It was still the sighting information of the small hunting group, Feng Chen's whereabouts disappeared before the lifeboat left, and the only one who could kidnap him was Fengshan Long, "I heard about that little guy's deeds before the harvest festival began. It's just that he just got out of the swamp and got involved in such an incident, this kid is probably born with the physique to provoke the ancient dragon race. β
"Will he be in danger?" The little head had a sour nose, and his eyes quickly turned red.
"Don't worry, he has the ability to come back alive once, and he can do it a second time." An unintentional remark almost provoked the girl in front of her to cry, but Master Peng hurriedly remedied, "In the hunter world, the guys who can survive from the hands of the ancient dragon species are the lucky ones who are protected by the hunter ancestors. β
The words made the companions of the small hunting group who came with him a little more relieved, and the head of the Qin group opened his red eyes and asked again: "That...... Is there anything we can do? β
"I've sent someone to search for the trail left by the Fengshan Dragon. There are many dangers in the hunting grounds, and communication is difficult, so it is safer for you to stay by the side of the Black Star Twins. The old hunter reached out and touched the head of the female leader, and then encouraged, "The first time you meet Fengshan Dragon, you have done better than most of the more senior hunters. The first time I saw that big guy, he was at least ten years older than you are now, but I was still scared and paralyzed for hours. β
"Master, I have one more thing to ask." Feng Manyun called out to the five-star hunter who was about to leave.
"What?"
"In the command room, you said that the group of guys who escaped from the dragon slayer ship were not using the technology of the Hunter Guild, what do you mean by that?"
The lifeboat is not powered by sails, but by a runner like the propeller of an airship. Small water boats often use such technology, but sand flywheels are several notches higher than water boats in terms of material and technology.
"That's not something you should think about." The old hunter was silent for a few seconds, "But there are some speculations that it doesn't hurt you - the Black Star Twins and I both guess that the other party is likely to be from Wang Li's hunting group. β
"Sure enough......" Hearing the name of Wang Li's hunting group, Shentu Miaoling's eyes narrowed slightly, and she muttered in a low voice.
"It's just speculation, among all the branches of the Chu family, only the little prince is obsessed with the study of all kinds of hunting equipment, and the royal family has always favored their youngest son, and it is not surprising that they can make some achievements under the accumulation of resources." Although he was talking about speculation, the old hunter's tone was already quite determined, "If it is really Wang Li's hunting group, then these Xiaoxiao are most likely to come from the command of the little prince of the Chu family." β
"Is that the guy who 'mistakenly injured' Master Guo at the challenge sacrifice? Why him? Shentu Miaoling said subconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yang turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"By the way, the news hasn't reached here yet." The girl glanced around at her companion and said, "Scarlet's little prince should be under double scrutiny from the Hunters' Guild and the royal family at this moment. β
"What happened?" Master Peng was also surprised.
"The dragon pulp incident exposed at the challenge festival also has his share." Even after experiencing that thrilling listening to the council, the girl still had some disbelief at the moment.
