Contrary to the deserted market, the early morning landing pad has already started the day's activities. At the tower posts around the platform, the first group of hunters after dawn was changing the guard, and the herbivorous dragon and the cart were busy beneath them. Large transports open their warehouses one by one and carry boxes of cargo inside. Occasionally, a procession of large monsters would scatter the workers and hunters along the way, shoving the ferocious predators of the ejactic into the belly of the transport.

Feng Manyun didn't spend much effort, and found the one that belonged to the small hunting group among the many boarding and landing platform brands. The medium-sized airship was ready to stop, and its companions were looking at the top of the gangway. Although the white-clothed hunter was under the jurisdiction of the small hunting group, under all kinds of changes, the young man had not hunted side by side with these companions for two years, and if he really got the opportunity, Feng Manyun's footsteps became hesitant nearly a hundred meters away, as if he was not stepping on dry and hard ground, but soft and sticky swamp, which made people unable to take a step.

"Manyun! What are you still grinding on? Jia Xiao wore clairvoyance, found the familiar white hunting suit from the crowd, and waved his hand high from a distance, "The airship is about to set sail!" ”

"Oh......" The Xishu hunter withdrew his straight eyes, turned sideways past the oncoming row of herbivorous dragons, and hurried two steps up the gangway, "I'm sorry, there was some delay on the way, it's not too late." ”

"You're not the latest, Lu Xiu hasn't arrived yet." The little head looked at the sun, "That guy doesn't know what he's doing. The ship's take-off sequence is the fifth this morning, and if he doesn't make it in a quarter of an hour, I'll have to ask the captain for a postponement. ”

The group took a regular civilian passenger boat on the mainland, and the spacecraft traveled straight to the southeast, following a safe route in the submerged forest to the vicinity of the Onifuma volcano, and then detoured from the edge of the mountain to the territory of Ryan Yelu after a little rectification. Although the capacity of the airship is not very large, the liquidated damages for applying for a postponement of the voyage are still worth a lot of money to the small hunting group, so the young people can't stay up in the cabin, so they climb the gangway one by one in the hope of seeing their late companions early.

Seeing that his companions were all watching from the gangway, Feng Manyun simply leaned on the railing. The hunter waited for a short time before he felt a short body approaching: "Seal ...... Seal the seniors! ”

"It's you...... Zuo Qing, right? The white-clothed hunter dodged the other party's reverent and fiery gaze, "What happened last night...... Is it better now? ”

"Just call me Qing'er." After a night's rest, Xiao Zuoqing's syncope was completely improved. Speaking of last night's embarrassment, the one-star hunter stuck out his tongue embarrassedly: "Sorry to worry my seniors, I was diagnosed by Master Anfei again this morning, and I can already go out hunting." ”

"That's really...... That's great. The Xishu hunter was not very good at words, and his mind was still stuck elsewhere, so he just nodded at the moment, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Now, senior, I left in a hurry this morning, and I haven't had time to confirm the specific information entrusted to the head of the regiment." The girl asked eagerly. Before leaving, her companions only vaguely revealed to her that they were going to an investigation commission, and that the purpose of this trip was Onifury, "Is there anything else I need to know before leaving?" ”

"Hmm...... If you want specific information, just ask the head of the regiment. Feng Manyun replied casually, suddenly remembering something, his eyebrows tightened, and his eyes moving into the distance moved to the face of the junior in front of him.

"Former ...... Predecessor? The eyes of the white-clothed hunter couldn't stand even Mei Ke, who had been hunting for a long time, let alone a fledgling little girl. Zuo Qing shuddered suddenly, and looked timidly at the hunter whose face suddenly changed, "What's wrong?" ”

Feng Manyun didn't answer, but walked to Qin Shuiyun's side, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Commander, this commission...... She's going to keep up too? ”

The huntress turned around, only to see her companion's hand vaguely pointing at the one-star hunter on the other side of the steps, and her eyes were full of scruples.

"What else can I do?" Head Qin smiled helplessly, "Lord Anfei seems to have other actions, she can't stay in Golden Feather City for a long time, she can't be left alone in the city, right?" ”

"This time we have to deal with poachers, we are even in danger of our own lives, and we have to protect a junior?" When it came to the specific matters of the commission, Feng Manyun had to be cautious, and he lowered his voice a little more, "Also, if we really want to see that guy, we have to take her with us all the time?" ”

The fundamental purpose of Qing'er entering the Little Hunting Group is to hunt with the best of the new generation of hunters. Compared with the safety of the girl in Golden Feather City, her own personality is the biggest constraint. It is impossible for the head of the regiment to use a sentence of "for your safety" to let Xiao Qing'er be hidden in the snow in the city, and the curious flute player will definitely get to the bottom of it, not to mention that this is the first collective commission since she joined the group, and the female leader can't bear to leave eternal regrets on the hunter road of the juniors.

"We discussed it overnight." The cat lay on the owner's shoulder, opened one eye, and looked at the little girl who kept asking the seniors about the trip, "Let's find a way after we arrive at the destination, it's a big deal to find someone to take care of her." ”

"As long as it's not me." Xiong Fuji replied.

"I'm not suitable to be a babysitter." Nie Xiaoyang raised his hands and said with a smile.

"What babysitter?" Xu is voice was a little louder, and Zuo Qing heard it, and the one-star hunter stepped over the gangway and came up, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing." Qin Shuiyu coughed, and his eyes suddenly stopped the conversation behind his companions, "Lu Xiu, this guy...... Why hasn't it come yet? ”

"You don't have to wait any longer."

"Instructor Anfei?" The female archer exclaimed, and old Eru was already standing at the bottom of the gangway at some point, and the Blackstar Twins had changed back to their iconic big hats, and Amphy was bulging under her cloak, as if she was carrying heavy hunting gear. Since the incident of the thundering sand sea and the sealing of the dust, old Ailu has left the hunting ground to recuperate for a while, and everyone in the small hunting group has also seen its combat outfit for a long time, "Why are you here?" ”

"The subordinates of the Deacon's Mansion came to inform earlier, and Lu Xiu is afraid that he will be absent from this trip." Eru stroked her beard and stood still at the bottom of the gangway.

"That guy won't come?" Xiong Fuji was furious, "Hmph...... Isn't it scary? ”

"Lu Xiu only slaughtered a Tooth Dragon yesterday, and he is probably the least afraid of the entire small hunting group." Jia Xiao whispered comfortingly, "Hmm...... And, of course, the clouds. ”

"It's an order from the Deacon's Mansion." Amphfinis explained. Morin insisted that Lu Xiu had only been subjected to a fierce battle the day before, and that his injuries had not yet healed, and that he needed to recuperate in the city for a while, and it was not recommended that he set out to fight in such a hurry. Of course, the "advice" of the chief deacon is no different from an order to the dragons.

I didn't expect that my hunt would be obstructed by the big people in the deacon's mansion, and when I heard such news at first glance, some foul words that were not inhumane rose in the hearts of all the members of the small hunting group.

"Luciu, that guy...... What we just discussed, he wouldn't have told Maureen just by going back, would he? Xiong Fuji didn't like Mo Lin himself, so he didn't choose to say anything when his brain was hot, "I knew that when I discussed last night, I should have excluded him." ”

"Fuji!" The head of the regiment scolded, "Lu Xiu is not that kind of person......" Her eyes glanced at Zuo Qing, who was still unclear about the situation on the side, and suppressed the second half of her sentence. Feng Chen is Lu Xiu's companion, and this commission is related to his whereabouts, and the Langlong people will not reveal any information to Mo Lin.

"If he really has a seed, he should come here without a sound." Big Bear snorted coldly, "Being Morin's good baby, something like this will happen sooner or later." ”

"Hell...... He's a dragonman, and that kind of injury can heal halfway. Xiao Yang pressed his forehead and added firewood to the fire, "Lu Xiu is a member of the Little Hunting Group, how does he act, shouldn't he listen to the orders of the head of the group?" ”

"Morin is the chief deacon, and strictly speaking, even our head of the regiment has to follow his orders." Shentu Miaoling said in a cold voice, "Who do you think threw that kid into the arena?" ”

"That's ridiculous...... tall hunter laughed angrily, "Speaking of which, Lu Xiu's injuries were caused by him." Even if that dwarf guy doesn't want to see the little hunting group, there is no need to do this...... Head? ”

The relationship between the chief deacon and the Black Star Twins is not very harmonious, especially today, two years later, Morin has told Lu Xiu more than once not to get too close to the people of the Little Hunting Group. Uncle Mo has let the dragonmen train in the arena all the time, and it is not without this meaning.

"He's just protecting his chosen hunters." Qin Shuiyu, who heard the call, nodded quietly, suppressing the anger on his face, "Forget it, our job is to investigate, and there is not much difference between one more person and one less...... Lady Anfei has worked hard. ”

Despite the tense situation in the volcano, the Black Star Twins did not have a high degree of difficulty in giving the commission to the people of the Little Hunting Group. This time, the whole staff was gathered to a large extent to facilitate cooperation with Feng Chen, who was far away at the other end of the hunting ground, and in a sense, it was also to create an opportunity for the children to reunite after a long absence. Lu Xiu is Feng Chen's fellow countryman and an important partner who has hunted together, and his absence is bound to make Feng Chen regret.

"I'm here to convey this." Seeing that the little captain suppressed the restlessness of the team members, Amphine nodded lightly and said, "Now that all the members have arrived, it's almost time for you to set sail, hurry back to the cabin." ”

Everyone performed a hunter's salute to the legendary hunter in turn, and their mood was noticeably lower when they stepped through the hatch. It wasn't until there was only the back of the little head left on the gangway that Luo Pingyang called out to her: "Water ballads." ”

"Anfi-sama?" The huntress looked back.

"After crossing the waterless forest, the rest is up to you to act expediently." Master Luo's tone was filled with concern, "Compared to how much progress has been made in the condition of the volcano, your safety is what I am most concerned about. You're the leader, and I need you to bring them back safely. ”

"I will." The huntress tried to straighten up as much as she could.

…………

"Stealing...... Poacher? Entering the cabin, Xiao Qing'er heard the full description of the commission from the mouth of the regiment commander. The girl hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

"Well, even now, there may be a lot of monsters being slaughtered on the volcano. As soon as Master Anfei got the information, he asked us to go and investigate, which is why he left in such a hurry. "We don't have the power to stop every poacher's action, but we can find out the reason behind the commission and find a way to revoke the commission at the source." ”

The hum of the propeller was cut out of the cabin, and Luciu's situation occurred, and the group of hunters gathered in the cabin, and the atmosphere was no longer as high as it had been earlier. Knowing that there was one less "hero" accompanying him, even Qing'er seemed to be drained of energy, and her head kept drooping when she walked, and her eyes lit up again only when she heard the words of the regiment commander.

"Should you say that it is worthy of the Little Hunting Group......" The girl was surprised and delighted, the one-star hunter didn't think about why this difficult task fell on the little hunting group, but said that this was a certain daily experience of the legendary hunting group.

The cat and her master unfolded a large map on the table, and the female leader drew a circle on the Golden Feather City at her feet, pulling a winding dotted line all the way over the submerged forest and sinking into a settlement at the northern end of the volcano.

"We'll be able to reach the landing place before nightfall tonight, which is still a few dozen kilometers away from the Onifuma Volcano and a hundred kilometers away from the newest commission." Qin Shui's forehead quill nodded heavily at the landing point, "From here on, we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"Uh-huh......" There was a sparse echo beside him.

"Everyone!" The female head clapped her hands vigorously before focusing everyone's attention, "Listen, it's not the first time that the Little Hunting Group has been dissatisfied with the members, and this time it's just an ordinary commission." Like everyone else, I want to hunt with my companions, but the most important thing right now is to get the commission from Master Anfei right. ”

"The head of the regiment is right." Jia Xiao was the first to respond, "The entrustment is important. ”

"There are still hundreds of kilometers of land from the foothold to the hunting grounds." Feng Manyun scratched the map and said solemnly, "This area is the territory of poachers. ”

As with the territory controlled by the Hunter Guild, the Shadow Hunters of all sizes have their own rules and facilities. There are a large number of poacher colonies and cities near the volcano, and there are countless outposts that cannot be infiltrated without the signs of fellow Shadow Hunters.

"We can't even get into the volcano, let alone investigate, if we can't solve this problem." The white-clothed hunter propped his chin in his hands and said thoughtfully.

"We can not go to the volcano." Jia Xiao said, "What Instructor Anfei means is that after getting on the airship, the small hunting group will have absolute autonomy." ”
