I don't know if it was to celebrate the successful confluence of the three hunting groups, or to wish the successful achievement of the goal of the harvest festival, or whether these free hunters who have been working hard in the sea of blood all year round are born to be lively and promiscuous, the banquet inside and outside the camp was held until the second half of the night before gradually dispersing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Most of the official hunters have been issued a ban on alcohol, and at this moment they have returned to the rationed room to recuperate, still wandering outside, scrambling for the remaining wine at the bottom of the barrel, only the replacement boatmen and the ground personnel who remain behind.

Feng Manyun let the apprentices and trainees who were sweeping the ground slowly pace around the camp. The dilapidated sand hut and the newly built slab house were mixed together, which made the teenager also begin to confuse the layout of the barracks. And even without these temporary fortifications, most of the houses on the outskirts of the barracks are no longer what they are used to.

Both the Submarine Dragons and the Sandstorm can easily destroy the fragile Sand Huts, and the first thing to learn is to build your own dwelling than to fight monsters. There are many strange and unfamiliar sand huts around the white-clothed hunter, which seem to have been built by the new members after they left.

Walking aimlessly, Feng Manyun drew a circle under the guidance of the path, and gradually approached the depths of the barracks. As the lights thinned out, the exterior of the houses began to become flat, small and familiar. Most of the huts placed here are the work of generations of predecessors, and several of them have survived several large beast tides that can destroy Xishu. They look just like their own memories, and no matter how fragile these dead things are, they are better than flesh and blood humans.

The boy stopped and stood outside a room, and the hut in front of him was not as square as the others, but wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, made into a square cone. This is the place where Uncle Jack stays, and his predecessors told him that only such a room in the desert can withstand wind and sand from all directions for a long time, and monsters will mistake it for a natural sand castle and will not take the initiative to attack.

In those three months that are difficult to look back on, as the uncle said, only this room has been blocked by the strong west wind every time, and can still stand after the chaos of the Submarine Dragon's breakthrough. Feng Manyun has learned to do it a few times, but the young man may still have some talent in combat, but manual work is not what he is good at, and every time he can't reach the top, the four walls will collapse by themselves. Now, after losing a leg, Jack will never be able to return to the sea of sand, and he may not have the opportunity to learn again.

"Hey, little ghost! What are you doing standing here? An impatient voice behind the door scolded, "The apprentice and apprentice's room is on the north side, hurry back and don't disturb our rest!" ”

The voice brought the One-Star Hunter's thoughts back to reality, and Feng Manyun looked behind the half-open door. The hunter in the room could only show the outline of his body in the light, but he hid his face with his hands and yawned constantly.

"This is Uncle Jack's house...... Give it back to him. Feng Manyun's expression changed a few times, and he muttered, even he didn't know whether he was speaking to the other party or to himself.

"What?" The hunter inside the door looked a little tongue under the wine, and he spat in the open space in front of the door, "Who is Jack?" The houses in this camp were all allotted from above. ”

"You don't have the right to live here." Feng Manyun clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned a little white under the force.

"Huh?" The bewildered hunter thought he had misheard, "I'm an airship operator, and I'm not qualified to live in the defense circle, so could I let you live?" ”

"Give it back to him!" The young man raised his head and faced the hunter who still didn't know what to call him, his voice was amplified several times, but it looked dry and hoarse, "You thieves! ”

"Which hunting group does the little thing belong to? Who gave you the courage to go wild here? The drunken hunter, who had been disturbed to rest, finally became angry, and pointed in the direction of the apprentice camp from afar, "Go back to your quarters!" Otherwise, I'll tell your captain, you won't even want to get a penny for this commission! ”

"Give it back to him!" Feng Manyun shouted again, and finally stepped forward, his face becoming hideous. His hand subconsciously reached behind his back, but was grasped by a warm hand on his wrist. The hand that suddenly appeared behind him grabbed the boy stiffly, "Okay, let's get out of here." ”

Feng Chen grabbed the fellow villager who was still trembling, smiled apologetically at the hunter, and forcibly pulled his companion's body away from the place: "Miss Qin has something to say, let's go back quickly." ”

…………

"I thought the head of the regiment had something to announce." The lights of the two huts assigned to the Little Hunter Group had dimmed a few hours earlier. Feng Manyun stood at the door, at a loss, and said, "Has the pre-war meeting been over?" ”

"No," Feng Chen smiled awkwardly, "In that case, if I hadn't stopped you, you would have been fighting with that hunter a long time ago." The boy sighed, "You shouldn't be like this, such a reckless thing can only be done by a big bear." ”

"I am," Feng Manyun didn't explain anything, "and you don't know me—not even myself. I was just very angry and came all the way back to Xishu, but it turned out that it was not at all what I remembered. ”

"I'm pretty much the same at this point," the sentence evoked Dust's sympathy, and the new one-star hunter found a clean sand and sat down, "After returning from the swamp, it feels like things are no longer familiar, whether it's my companions or myself." ”

"We're not the same," the young man in white sat down, pulled by the dust. He shifted his position slightly in the direction away from the dust, "After you return, your companions are either still with you or on the way back. He paused, "Uncle Jack can't go back to the hunting grounds, and the others are gone, and I don't even have a way to remember them......"

"Manyun, you're a citizen of the God of Hunting, right?" The voice of the companion beside him became deeper and deeper, and Feng Chen stroked his back with his hand, "The prey of this life ......"

"Hunter of the afterlife...... I understand all of this. He stopped the little Orion's preaching, "But how can things be as simple as the oracle says?" Feng Manyun stood up, raised his hand with one hand, and caged the houses in front of him, "These houses should have been reserved for those real hunters who have resisted the attacks of monsters all year round, but what are the people living in them now?" He followed Uncle Jack's tone, "It's just a group of merchants, and there is no commission for payment, even if the inhabitants are dead, and no hunters will come out and frown." ”

"Manyun, it's only because you've been hunting in Xishu for too long that you feel that all the hunters in the world are what you imagined." Feng Chen advised, "The guys who believe in the glory of hunters still account for the majority, otherwise, the little hunting group will not be what it is today." The iron-hearted Uncle Zhong and so many other hunters, are they also for the sake of profit when they lend a helping hand to their companions when they are in danger? ”

"Who knows, the more noisy this camp is now, the more ironic it will be in my eyes......" The young man looked up at the sky, and even the stars above the sand sea became much darker under the light of the campfire on the ground, which was also a scene that the Xishu hunters had never seen before, "Even we are no exception, what is the difference between the thieves who stole the bird's nest in Xuelin Village?" ”

…………

Six months ago.

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest." The middle-aged hunter removed the hat from his head and placed it lightly on the table. He straightened the chair in front of him and sat down peacefully, "That's what we're talking about." ”

Yuke and Yoda sat on the main seat, looking at the girl in a rough cloth dress in front of them with unbearable faces. The girl's hands were chained to the table in front of her, and there were huge and heavy stone piers under the tabletop, and it was difficult for Lu Xinglong, who was less than five meters long, to break free from such shackles, let alone a girl who was still underage.

"This ...... It's far beyond my comprehension. Despite being imprisoned, the girl still did not lose her calmness and grace in her manners, "I'm just a girl abandoned by my family, and I'm in such a place where I don't see the light of day, I'm sorry I can't help you." ”

"Sister Miaoling, we're here to help you this time." The little girl You Ke said crisply, in the dim light, only her white and tender little face was still glowing with a lovely halo, which made people believe everything she said at first sight.

"I know, and I'm grateful that you're still thinking about me at this time." Shentu Miaoling looked around at the surrounding iron walls. It was the Order's prison for prisoners, a makeshift interrogation room converted into a visitation room to be exact, and the torture instruments on the walls had long since been removed, leaving only the bare iron nails that hung from it. The unlucky ones caught by the Knights will never be visited, and the young brother and sister have such energy to make the Knights make such a compromise, which is enough to see that the two of them have a high status in Ryan Yelu.

In fact, Shentu Miaoling didn't need to speculate, because the three of them explained their intentions at the first time they came to visit.

They were not acting in their own personal names, but were assigned by the kingdom to make contact with Shentu Miaoling.

"That's easy," the young hunter Yoda breathed a sigh of relief, "just trust us, and I promise in the name of the royal family of Ryan Yeru that in less than half a month, you will be able to get out of this damned cell and return to your companions." ”

Yoda...... Your Highness. The girl didn't even know if it was appropriate to call the prince of another country like this, "If it is a friend, of course I am willing to listen to your help." But having already touched the height of the kingdom and the hunters' union, I have to be a little more cautious. ”

"That's as it should be," the middle-aged hunter continued, "You can still take care of this level in the prison of the Knights, little girl, you are indeed very good among your peers. ”

"But I'll do some stupid things," Shentu Miaoling smiled bitterly, "I'll do it again...... So everything is still because of an ancient dragon? ”

Where Ryan Yeru and Scarlet meet, is an area of active volcano known as the Onifury. A few years ago, the mysterious ancient dragon species that had been dormant in the volcano suddenly awakened, bringing a devastating blow to large swaths of the residential areas that rely on the volcano. Suppressed by Long Wei to the death of the country's most fertile territory, the national power of the entire Ryan Yelu has declined rapidly in a few years. The Guild Chapter of the Eastern Nation made several crusades, but the Hunters' Guild of Ryan Yeru was not as strong as Scarlet, and several sorties did not inflict wounds on the Elder Dragon, but only further angered it.

"The joint commission with Scarlet is also a last resort, I just thought that I could pay some price to invite the scourge out of the country, but I didn't expect that there would be so much trouble in the future." Yoda sighed.

"What you paid the Scarlet chapter...... Is it the recipe for dragon pulp? Shentu Miaoling said thoughtfully, "According to your previous description, that formula is not too precious except for its special effects." ”

"That's only part of the pay, albeit part of the union's name-based requirements." The two young masters nodded, "But without it, the deal can't go ahead." ”

After the theft of the dragon pulp, Scarlet used the failure of the trade as an excuse to demarcate half of the Devil's Fury Volcano as the exclusive hunting ground of the kingdom according to the prevailing rules of the continent. The union set up a permanent camp inside, and even set up a trade route for merchants and civilians, as if it had the intention of gradually encroaching on the rich volcano, which greatly damaged the interests of Lane Yelu. In the dangerous world of hunters, war between the two countries is the most stupid and helpless choice, so the kingdom sent several teams to track down the whereabouts of the formula, praying for a peaceful solution, and Yoda and the three are the team that has made the most progress so far.

"I don't get much outside news in this shabby house. It's just that I roughly know that the core commission of this challenge festival is a large amount of dragon marrow pulp...... A villain who sabotaged the festival. When she said this, her face changed, "Is it ...... Does the bookmaker have anything to do with this? ”

"Now all parties are on their own, and we don't know all the details of the incident, but the dealer and the theft of the dragon pulp do have a deep connection." Yoda nodded solemnly, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked Lord Amphines to meet you after spending such a lot of time." ”

"I know, I told the knights all about it at the trial." Shentu Miaoling wanted to spread her hand, but she pulled the iron chain on her wrist, which startled the two knights behind the door, the sword in her hand buzzed, and blocked the window of the iron gate with a "poof", "I just sent a signal to them, and they never told me about the follow-up, and I have no interest in knowing." ”

The eyes of the two children immediately dimmed, and only the middle-aged hunter's expression remained the same as usual: "I know that you must have more information in your hands than you say, and this information will not only not help you in prison, but will become your life-threatening talisman." He lowered his voice, "Miss Shentu, before I came, I had already investigated your situation at the dealer's house. You've been in jail for almost a month, and the dealer's people never thought to move around, they don't care about you. Even if things fail, it is very likely that you will be used as a substitute. ”

"I know."

"At the council the day after tomorrow, as long as you can state in the way we agreed, Ryan also has a way to let you regain your freedom within half a month." He said meaningfully, "You're still young. ”

"To be honest, I don't want to go out." A strange look appeared in the girl's eyes, "If it is possible, I would even like to die in the judgment of the Knights." ”
