Olsen still followed the teenagers on foot, and even if Lu Xiu persuaded him not to attack the herbivorous dragon again, the monsters were afraid of the killing intent it exuded, and did not dare to get closer. It's just that the physical strength of the orcs now seems to be endless, and the speed of the herbivorous dragon is not fast, so the two teenagers are up to him.

At present, the territory of the hunting ground has been messed up by the Fengshan Dragon, and the one-star hunters do not need to deliberately avoid the high-level predators, and rush towards the direction of the sealed cloud memory almost in a straight line. The two of them avoided the scorching midday sun and changed their mounts on the spot, until the soft sand gradually transitioned into a barren terrain of half stone and half sand, but there was still no trace of a lifeboat sailing.

"It's close." By the slanting sunset, Feng Manyun turned over and got off the back of the herbivorous dragon, leaning over and crushing a small piece of sand on the ground. Most of the days had passed since it left the ship, and although the pack beast's footsteps could not be compared with that of the speedboat, it was better to have no pursuers, no need to hide traces, and no risk of flying predators that might be attracted by the noise of the power furnace, so that they were able to close the distance a little.

The white-clothed hunter patted the herbivorous dragon on the back, and the two pack beasts left on their own to forage for food. From here, the teenagers have to walk on foot to prepare for any situation that may arise at any time. The orcs snorted and followed, their mouths and hands still stained with blood. Along the way, Orson left Lu Xiu's sight on his own several times, and when he returned, he either carried the internal organs of monsters or the head of a beast that had been eaten nearly half, so that he could digest raw food without hindrance with his human body.

Looking around, it is difficult to form such a bare stone terrain in the hunting ground surrounded by yellow sand. Vegetation is more difficult to grow on hard rocks than on soft sand, and there aren't many monsters on this rocky beach on weekdays. Although the stone everywhere is loose and brittle, it is better than nothing, so it has become the best human foothold within a radius of dozens of kilometers, like an isolated island located in the center of the thundering sand sea.

"What if they're not here? Where this kind of bird doesn't poop...... "At this point, Lu Xiu was actually a little apprehensive. He kicked the gravel in front of him out of the way, "Those who can camp here are either crazy or stupid." ”

"The environment in Xishu is similar to this area." Feng Manyun led the way and pouted slightly, "If you want to survive, there is a way anywhere, but counting from Locklac, the supply line here is twice as long as that of Xishu." Being able to maintain it for so long without alarming the union, Wang Li Hunter is really powerful—you see. ”

Not far from the direction the boy pointed, the craggy stones were simply piled up and built into an arc-like wall more than two meters high and more than ten meters long. The cross-section of the stone wall is made in the shape of a ladder, and the reinforcement is clearly by human hand.

"It's for windbreaking, and we really didn't come to the wrong place." The white-clothed hunter took a few steps closer, raised the corners of his mouth, and carefully examined the direction of the stone barrier, "Over there!" ”

This stone forest looks roughly the same from a distance, and you have to get close to see if there are any traces of man. The three of them walked through the rubble, the traces of digging and camouflage appearing more and more frequently along the way, and their brows became more and more relaxed.

"You're approaching the observatory you mentioned, right?" Lu Xiu asked in a low voice.

"It's a very different place than I remember." Feng Manyun shook his head, "It was probably after that that the hunters here reorganized the surrounding environment. ”

"I haven't asked you yet how you found out here." The little dragon man hurried to follow.

"Huh?" The white-clothed hunter paused and replied in a rejecting tone, "This has nothing to do with the current situation, let's focus on the actions in front of us." ”

"That's not necessarily, what we want to enter is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and any bit of intelligence may be very important." Lu Xiu insisted.

The white-clothed hunter was silent for a few seconds, after all, his life was at stake, and he finally chose to compromise: "It's Harder." ”

"A few months ago, his airship was wrecked in the desert, and he once took refuge in Xishu before he met me. Harder was already a Guild Knight at the time, and I followed him all the way from the camp to find him about to execute a ...... Defected hunters. The boy emphasized, "Not arrest and detention, but execution on the spot, and when I broke into the stone chamber, Harder's knife was on top of the man's head. ”

"The Hunter is on top...... Is he dead? The first time he heard the full story from his fellow villagers, Lu Xiu's face was full of disbelief.

"No, probably in front of me, he still knows some cover-up." The young man in white sneered, "He told me that it was his first mission, the second person he executed. I had to supervise him all the way back to Golden Feather City to make sure he didn't end up with the defected hunter on the way. ”

"So in Golden Feather City, you said that, right?" The little dragonman's eyes showed embarrassment, "Uncle Harder should have his own troubles. ”

"I know, he told me that a knight's job translates into a longer service than the average hunter, and he probably wants to give the village a few more silver stars before he retires." The young man in white said in a cold tone.

"Uncle Hader is protecting the village."

"I don't know what the rest of the people in Xuelin Village think, at least I don't need his 'protection'." Hearing the dragonman's defense, Feng Manyun became even more irritable. For today's Xishu hunters, the name Harder is his ignition device.

"Hey, don't say that. Uncle is our hero. ”

"Not anymore, that guy's whole life has been showing us what hunter glory is...... Today, he may be an elder who has done his best for the village, but he is by no means a competent hero. Feng Manyun glanced at his companion with a strange expression, "Now is not the time to talk about this—keep up with your pet, it seems to have discovered something!" ”

The two of them stopped talking, and closed their mouths and followed Orson's footsteps around the stone pillars. Under the shadow of the crisscrossed stones, a dry skeleton that had long since dried was half-buried under the stone skewed. The orcs used their claws to move away the rubble, their noses arching into the cracks in the stones.

"Orson, come back." Lu Xiu raised his hand and called the strange man back to his side, and stepped forward with his feet, endured the nausea at the beginning, and squatted down to check it with a bitter face.

"It's a human," the skeleton had been dried to a crisp crisp, and the clothes had long since been lost, and I was afraid that it had been dead for months. The boy reached into the crack in the stone and fumbled for something else beyond the bones, but his fingers ached, but they were stuck to a sharp piece of metal, "What is this?" ”

The boy pulled out the piece of metal embedded in the stone and looked at it in the dim daylight. The copper sheet is about the same size as the hunter's badge, but the workmanship is much inferior to the hunter's badge, and the surrounding hairiness is unbearable, and the patterns on it are blurred.

"It's the poacher's badge, and old Jack once told me about poachers." Feng Manyun recognized, "Similar to hunters, they also have their own organization and rank. The white-clothed hunter reached out and took the badge thrown by his companion, put it in his hand and rubbed it carefully, "Three crossbows...... Is it the third order, even among poachers, it is a high-ranking existence, why did he die on the territory of Wang Li Hunter? ”

"Manyun ......" Lu Xiu's voice changed from surprise to horror as if he had discovered something, "It's not just a poacher, I'm afraid it's a team of poachers who died here." ”
