"Akang, how long have we been gone?" The captain-like hunter took a few sips of a cold drink and asked impatiently. There was a magic in the sand sea during the day, which made the time pass of the hunter in it seemed to slow down tenfold, and the hot sunlight was like a heavy mountain, overwhelming everyone's breath - now he preferred a mountain to fall from the sky, so that at least some shade could be obtained.

"I don't know. Three hours, about ......," the guy whose name was called replied in a gruff voice. Ah Kang rubbed his astringent eyes and looked at the scene in the clairvoyance, "I still haven't seen any oasis, is the information of the union written wrong?" ”

"The map was last updated a month ago, and the oases moved with the water source, so it's not surprising that the location of the hunting grounds ran several kilometers." The captain waved his hand, "If you still can't see the sand dunes in front of you, we'll look for them separately, and then contact the signal flare - the big monkey!" Do you hear that? ”

Seeing that the team didn't react at all, he leaned over to the hunter called the big monkey in a few steps, grabbed his ear, and pulled out a black thing from it, like some kind of monster gel, but the appearance just matched the ear hole: "What are you doing with this kind of thing?" Don't even want to listen to my orders? ”

The man's face was slightly longer, and his cheeks were slightly bulging, and he really looked a little similar to an ape. The hunter screamed in shock, only to realize that it was the captain who caught him, and couldn't help but apologize repeatedly: "Boss, I didn't mean to...... But this earbolt is really easy to use, once you put it on, you can't even hear the wind and sand outside, and it's no problem to deal with the roar of high-level monsters. ”

"I don't know, I'm afraid you haven't been deceived by some black-hearted businessman." The captain put the earbuds in his hand and pinched them, sneering, "High-grade ear bolts are all jewelry beads, and your thing is no better than two cotton balls, so it's better to throw it away." ”

"Alas...... Don't! Seeing that the auxiliary hunting equipment he had purchased with a lot of money was thrown away by the captain, the big monkey carefully picked it up, put it on his waist and wiped it. He was about to put it back on his ear, but he snatched it into his arms under the captain's fierce look.

"Look, Boss! The oasis is over there, and here we are! The captain was about to curse something, but Akang, who was on the side of the team, shouted at the right time.

No matter what hunting ground you are in, the investigation commission is the hardest errand. Beasts have different habits during the day and at night, and vegetation and minerals also exhibit different properties under the influence of sunlight and temperature, which means that the hunter needs to work hard day and night according to the requirements of the commission, and there is no additional hunting material to be paid.

On the second day of the team's march in the sea of sand, they finally arrived at the hunting ground marked on the commissioned intelligence. Looking at the entire sea of thundering sand, this oasis can be regarded as a large piece. The wet season is not over yet, the land is full of dark wet mud, there are even large puddles in the distance, and the desert vegetation grows in clusters, bringing a rare greenery to this wasteland.

"Cheer up and get ready to work." The captain leaned against the shade of a bare rock, slapped his face, and said, "Let's start recording." ”

"The oasis has moved two kilometers south, and it is so hard for us to find it." Ah Kang took out a binder from his waist and complained while writing something, "It's just a regular intelligence update, and there is no special ecology in this hunting ground, why do we have to come during the day?" ”

"The union is for us." The big monkey mysteriously lowered his voice, perhaps the lord of the hunting ground had eaten and drunk enough, and the wild herbivorous dragon was wandering around on the ground, and he paced in front of the hunters, as if he was not afraid of people, "Don't you see? The recent announcement said that the lord-level monsters in the sand sea have recently moved again, and there are rumors that something terrible is going to happen. ”

"It's not like it's two years ago, there are no more ancient dragons in the desert, the most valuable beasts are gathered near Xishu, and there is no decent hunting in this area, what can be a big ......deal," Akon asked rhetorically, he handed the clairvoyance to his companion, "See for yourself, isn't it calm?" ”

"......Shh Don't try to fool me, it's my turn to be the next point of investigation. The monkey turned his face away and stuffed the earbolt into the ear hole, "After walking for so long, I need to rest for a while." ”

"Stingy—" Akon pouted, "Hey! You guy, at least take off your earbuds! ”

"I don't know when I'll encounter high-level monsters, of course, it's better to prepare early." The hunter triumphantly patted his ear, waved his hand to signal that he could not hear anything, and closed his eyes comfortably in the shade.

"Talking about worrying about monsters, I think it's an excuse to be lazy." Ah Kang sighed, holding clairvoyance in one hand, and recorded it on the binder, "The vegetation is in good condition, and the water source has no signs of drying up for the time being......

"How's the monster going?" The captain peeks out half of his head from behind the bare rock.

"It's all herbivorous dragons and small beasts, and there is no sign of a lord-level for the time being." The hunter said, the scope stretched out into the distance, "Wait, there's one over there, the Ornithosaurus species...... Is it a sand practician? ”

A huge brownish-gray bird dragon can be vaguely seen in the clairvoyance, the monster's body shape is quite similar to the big monster bird, the wings are bare flesh membranes, and only a pinch of fiery red fluff is born on the back of the head, which is particularly conspicuous in the oasis. Hearing this, the captain cautiously retracted his head and whispered, "Remember to avoid it when you leave, that guy is very difficult to get mad." ”

"Rest assured, there's nothing in this oasis that can anger it." Akon pouted, "You see it is the same as usual, drinking water and admiring its ugliness. This guy's life is similar to ours, it's all so boring...... Huh? ”

"What's wrong?"

"It seems to have found me." Akon grunted in his throat and forced himself to composure. A few hundred meters away, the bird dragon species suddenly raised its head without warning, turned around and ran straight in the direction where the hunters were hiding, the wings of the sand thunderbird carried the sound of the wind, and the huge nose turned red in a few breaths, as if the monster was stimulated.

"No...... The wind is not in the right direction, and this guy doesn't have that strong sense of perception. The captain snatched the clairvoyance from Akon's hand, scanned left and right, and finally froze on the ground behind the bird dragon seed. A huge earthworm had grown in the sand, and the bulging ground was spreading towards the sand thunderbird, as if something was rapidly approaching it from underground.

"I'm going to catch up!" The bird dragon flapped its wings with all its might, but the monster was too heavy to take off easily, and could only watch as its pursuers dug into its feet.

The big monkey was violently shaken awake by his two companions, and the hunter looked at his companions for some reason, but saw that both the captain and Akon were desperately pointing behind him. The hunter felt that the top of his head was dark, and the huge body of the sand thunderbird swept overhead, which was not a flying posture at all, but more like being forcibly thrown into the air dozens of meters high by some force.
