Pushing aside a bush in front of him, Guo Peng's walking speed slowed down for the first time. U8???．? Ｕ?８ＸＳ`ＣＯＭ

This hill is already far away from Golden Feather City, and the border of the secondary shelter forest created by the Blue Gold Chamber of Commerce is just a few kilometers behind the five-star hunter. This area is a remote outskirt of the city, and hunting resources are not very abundant, so the union does not have too many ground facilities. The nearest airship docked nearly ten kilometers away, so in order not to startle the snake, Master Guo had to get off the boat early and explore all the way on foot.

"Safe," the old hunter gestured behind him, and a head poked out of the bushes. The young hunter had a wide face and thick eyebrows, and was dressed in a silver-gray hunting suit. The armor is slim in shape and distinct in texture, and it seems to be expensive, and walking in the union hall may cause many people to look sideways. However, at this moment, this hunting suit was covered under a makeshift made of leaves, covering most of the brilliance.

"Is this it?" The young man whispered to Guo Peng, who was leading the way. He held his twin knives across his side, and the bronze badge on his chest had two stars hanging from them.

"Didn't you read the intel before you disembarked?" Guo Peng asked rhetorically without looking back.

"I've written it all down." The two-star hunter nodded. The nearby trees are no longer tame in the shelterbelt, and the leaf stems are all with tiny spikes. The little thorn seeped into the inner armor with the hunter's movements, causing his neck to shrink uncomfortably, "But here...... It doesn't seem to be any different from the few low hills we've walked before. ”

After a few more steps, the view suddenly became clear. The northern slope of the hill and the absence of a stream at the bottom of the valley make the trees in this area unusually sparse and the soil slightly sandy. The young man kicked away the clumped clods in front of him: "No wonder the dealer will abandon this place early, this kind of place where birds don't, even if it costs manpower to develop and maintain, what can it be used for?" ”

The five-star hunter smiled meaningfully, squatted down and twisted up a few grains of soil and sand: "Xiao Tang, this place has not been abandoned, as long as this kind of soil is simply tamped, the strength can reach the standard of a small take-off and landing pad." Disguising the landing pad as a wasteland or a grain field is a common trick used by poachers. ”

The young hunter named Don Jr. darkened his face and muttered, "You've never taught me this." ”

"I don't need it, it's your observation skills that still need to be exercised." Guo Peng stood up, found a direction and strode forward, especially in his mouth, "From the beginning, there was no decent beast howling around, and even the frequency of birdsong was significantly reduced. If it's not that there are some unusually powerful monsters entrenched in front of you, or someone is regularly maintaining the order of the territory here, I'm afraid the methods are quite aggressive. ”

Challenging the contact with Master Guo at the festival, not only allowed Tang Qiu to win that festival, but also successfully made the rich child become a personal student of the five-star hunter. For the past two years, Tang Qiu has been accompanying Guo Peng as an apprentice, and while enjoying the words and deeds of the top powerhouses, he has also obtained a lot of resources that are only available at that level.

Under the shadow of Guo Peng, the hunting group composed of the Twin Bladers and the companions of the former Dune Training Camp has developed at an alarming speed, and has even absorbed many three-star hunters as the backbone. As long as the head of the group has enough resume, the hunting group can be promoted to three stars without hindrance. The day before yesterday, Tang Qiu deliberately interrupted an outing commission and returned to Golden Feather City to participate in this investigation, half of the reason was for his next promotion.

Hearing Guo Peng's analysis, the young man's eyes lit up. He followed the teacher's figure in three or two steps: "You never mentioned it to me, and you used to fight poachers. ”

"The five-star hunters in Golden Feather City, one counts as one, and they have all received commissions related to poachers more than once, so there is nothing unusual." Master Guo said lightly.

"So, every five-star hunter in the guild has killed someone, have you killed anyone too?" Tang Qiu asked without hesitation.

Guo Peng took a few more steps, stopped and turned back, "This is not within the scope of the mentor's guidance, and it is not a question that a hunter with glory should ask. If it's another instructor, I can keep you out of hunting for a while. ”

"I'm sorry." The young man's voice lowered a little lower, "I just feel that I've been studying with you for so long, but I know you as well as everyone in Golden Feather City......"

"That's enough, you want my knowledge and resources. If you want to hear a story, you can go to the bar for a night. Guo Peng said coldly. The ground beneath his feet was becoming flatter and harder, and the larger stones were being carefully picked up, and the old hunter looked around him to see that the ground around him was leveled just enough for a small airship. He walked along the straight grinding marks on the ground, and from time to time squatted down to measure: "The traces of the hunting ship taking off are three or five days ago. ”

Behind the master, Tang Qiu's mind was no longer on the commission, his face changed slightly, and he said with courage: "I know, you didn't value me from the beginning, and maybe you never even liked me. At that time, you took me under the door, I'm afraid it was just to show off, right? That's why you didn't let me go with the commission of Ryan Yelu a few days ago? ”

There are no footprints of people and animals left on the dry and hard ground, and the five-star hunter can only rely on the marks left by the airship to roughly calculate the hiding place of the other party. His eyes wandered in the environment, but he deliberately ignored Tang Qiu beside him.

"I don't understand," said the young man reluctantly, "I'm no worse than anyone else. Since then, I have won two consecutive hunting festivals, and I have won both the 1 and 2 star hunter categories. Even if there is only one person of Jin Yucheng and my generation who can participate in a commission of that scale, that person can only be my ......"

"If you've listened to my teachings, you'll know that there's no point in boasting about your achievements at hunting festivals." Guo Peng turned his head to face the two-star hunter, and said without sadness or joy on his face, "Besides, if you haven't noticed, I didn't participate in that commission." Judging from the first issue of information sent back by the Demon Fury, the danger there is far beyond what you can afford, and none of your fellow creatures are qualified to participate in it, and I am protecting you. ”

"But I heard that ......" Tang Qiu subconsciously bit his lip, "the people of the Little Hunting Group are already there, a little earlier than the fleet of Golden Feather City, and the first issue of information was sent back by those guys." Again, he emphasized, "It's 'that' little hunting group." ”

The traces on the ground were blurred, coupled with the young students' constant entanglement, Guo Peng had no intention of calculating for a while, so he simply chose a direction based on his intuition and searched for it without concealment: "I know which hunting group you are talking about." But I'm not a Black Star Twin, and you're not the same as the Little Hunters. As long as you focus on the commission in front of you and follow the route I gave you step by step, you will be able to reach your own peak sooner or later, and there is no need to compare yourself with a group of outliers. ”

The two-star hunter seemed to sense his gaffe, and he let out a long sigh, "I'm sorry, I just ...... After all this time, there is still no sense of reality for myself to become a five-star hunter apprentice. There's only one thing I can't figure out, when I'm still in the swamp."

"I mean," he cautiously probed, "I mean...... Five-star hunters will also be injured, the situation at that time is not something to hide. I don't understand, it's been so long, why you haven't told them the truth until today. ”

Compared with Guo Peng, who was seriously injured, was saved by a bottle of secret medicine from a young man, there is another version of the story circulating in Golden Feather City. In that version, the ignorant Tang Qiu got lost in the arena and was in distress, but thanks to the help of a five-star hunter who was already seriously injured, he successfully rushed back to the base camp. After that, there was a young man who first found the destroyer of the arena, completed the core commission, and won the championship in one fell swoop.

Knowing that his fate was given by Master Guo, no matter how many people asked him in the past two years, the two-star hunter has always adhered to the caliber taught to him by his mentor. For Tang Qiu, this is both a kind of retribution and an exchange, and no one knows better than him the real inside story of winning the championship at that festival. But in private, the young man did not feel that such deception had any other meaning to his mentor than to damage the glory of the hunter.

As soon as Tang Qiu's words fell, he saw Master Guo, who was supposed to lead the way in front, stopped in front of him at some point. The young man's height was only as high as the chin of a five-star hunter, Guo Peng lowered his head slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "Before you speak, don't forget how you got your previous results today, and who taught you your hunting skills and hunting knowledge." Whatever you need to do next time, you just do it, I don't want to hear you question my decision again, understand? ”

"Understood" Feeling the slightest chill coming from the master's body, Tang Qiu's body involuntarily leaned back. He swallowed hard, not daring to focus his eyes on the mentor. The young man's eyes looked over Guo Peng's shoulders into the distance, and suddenly he sighed, and said softly: "Teacher, the soil over there...... Something seems wrong. ”

…………

The temporary slab house has long since been demolished, and the marks left by the rivets have been carefully filled in with dirt. It was only after several days of wind and sun that the soil brought from a distance gradually showed a different color, and the young hunter was lucky enough to notice it. The two dug open the surface layer of floating soil, revealing the circular buried tunnel inside.

The dirt covering the mouth of the pit had been burned red and hard, and Tang Qiu tapped the flat ground with a short knife, and there was a hollow echo below. The tunnel was not completely filled, but was temporarily covered by shelves made of steel and wooden planks. The young man leaned down and put his ear to it, not hearing anything from inside. The two-star hunter held his double knives in his hands, raised them high, and was about to poke them to the ground, but was stopped by Guo Peng first. The old hunter took off the gun behind his back, made several gestures one after another, and said in a low voice, "You retreat first." ”

Tang Qiu withdrew a few meters and saw that Guo Peng had already set up his gun and shield on the spot and made a full battle posture. The muzzle of the hunter's gun drooped, facing the solid ground, and after studying under the master for a long time, the young man, of course, knew what he was going to do, he subconsciously turned his head, closed his eyes tightly, and covered his ears.

After a long period of accumulation, a red flame of light rose into the sky. With a piercing roar, the mud slab that closed the entrance exploded. The power of the dragon cannon is enough to make a considerable number of high-ranking monsters feel desperate, and the five-star hunter's move is already a bit redundant.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and the black hole appeared in front of the two of them, Guo Peng lit a signal flare and poked into the inside of the hole. Layers of steel structures criss-cross the city, not an ordinary hiding cave, but more like a well-managed permanent bunker.

"It's so close to Golden Feather City, poachers are really bold." The young hunter let out a low sigh as he swept away the smoke in front of him.
