Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The number of fixed hunting groups composed entirely of high-level hunters is extremely rare.

After all, the formation of any tacit team takes a long time.

Personal talent and strength, the compatibility between members, the configuration of the team, and even luck, none of them will work.

Take Silver Edge as an example.

In the years before Feng Ying came to the New World, the three Gordons would often cooperate with other high-ranking hunters.

But no one can truly replace Feng Ying and become a new member of Yinbian.

Including Gail, who later married Ancil.

The "fit" is always one level worse. They are like a jigsaw puzzle that has already been formed. If you change the pieces, it will never be so complete.

Therefore, even in this "golden age" where young and powerful people emerge in droves, the top hunting groups in the New and Old Continents combined can only reach double digits.

Every high-level hunting group is extremely valuable.

As the only fixed high-ranking hunting group in the New World Investigation Group, the strength of the Alcohol Hunting Group is still far behind that of Silverbian.

But the configuration of a seven-star gun wielder, a seven-star insect stick wielder, and a six-star light crossbow wielder can be regarded as an absolute trump card in Dongdoruma.

When "Silver Edge" became famous all over the world, it was just like this.

To be able to force such a team into a desperate situation where the whole army was almost annihilated, one can imagine the strength of the "terrifying beast" that appeared in the Dragon Crystal Land.

As soon as he got the news, the commander-in-chief summoned Gordon and others.

The first priority right now is to rush to the Dragon Crystal Land, provide emergency treatment to the members of the Alcohol Team, and bring them safely back to the Star Stronghold to recuperate.

Now that Alcohol has suffered a group wipeout, the only team that may successfully complete this task is Yinbian.

"The purple giant beast can destroy alcohol in a group, and its strength is undoubted. However, your team is not complete, so you should avoid fighting as much as possible.

Bringing the wounded back safely is your only mission goal, and the investigation and hunting of the mysterious beast are follow-up tasks.

You must not be impulsive, understand? "The commander-in-chief emphasized repeatedly.

"Understood, we will set off immediately on the pterosaur." Gordon nodded and said quickly.

"No, we can't rush. The preparation of the airship takes time. You will set off in the airship tomorrow morning." The commander-in-chief said seriously: "I know you have a good relationship, but the more times like this, the more you need to calm down."

Seeing Ancier impatiently wanting to say something, the Commander-in-Chief stopped him with his eyes, "They were brought back to their base by the Strange Face Clan, and their current situation is quite safe.

What's more important is that even the Sour Pterodactyl can't take you to the Dragon Crystal Land in one breath. Even if the Pterodactyl can bear it, you can't bear it either.

Not only is it dangerous to enter the Dragon Crystal Land in a fatigued state, but do you want Ted and the others, who are seriously injured and unconscious, to come back on a pterosaur?

If you take the airship, you can recharge your batteries on the airship. I will ask professional doctors to accompany you. This will make transportation and treatment of the wounded more convenient. "

Anhir shut his mouth.

I have to admit that the commander-in-chief's arrangement is more suitable.

Counting the necessary rest time on the road, setting off by pterosaur now may not be faster than setting off by airship tomorrow morning.

Preparations before departure were carried out with anxiety.

Regarding this so-called purple giant beast, Gordon and others naturally thought of what scholars had discovered in ancient ruins a few months ago.

They came to Alva's house and wanted to know something about the latter.

However, it was learned from Rania that Alva left the stronghold on a pterosaur as soon as he heard that the alcohol team encountered the purple giant beast, and he did not know where he went.

Gordon and others had no choice but to find other scholars first and try to piece together useful information, such as attributes and weaknesses.

But in the end, the information I got was more mysterious than the last.

It's enough to summon thunder. Kirin can also summon thunder, but "exploding the earth with waving claws", "raising tornadoes that reach the sky with breath", "summoning zodiac meteorites that destroy the world" and so on, it is difficult for people not to doubt this information. Authenticity.

Worshiping powerful creatures as gods or fearing them as demons, describing and recording them in exaggerated ways, and deifying them has been common since ancient times.

How true and how exaggerated, who can tell?

After asking around, the only idea the three Gordons had was this.

No matter how true that information is, I just hope that the "purple giant beast" Ted and his friends encountered will not be the "terrible monster" recorded in ancient civilization records.

That thing might be even more outrageous than Cologne

However, Alva, who barely rushed back to the Star Stronghold in the middle of the night, shattered this expectation.

Like Gordon and the others, when he first learned of the appearance of the "Purple Behemoth", he also thought of the "World-Destroying Monster" depicted on the inscriptions and murals in the ruins.

So he immediately took a pterosaur and rushed to the ruins located underground in the wasteland of the Big Ant Mound. After spending a lot of energy, he moved away the stones that sealed the entrance and entered the stone chamber.

The inexplicably broken crystal on the altar proved many things.

The logical relationship between this may not be rigorous, but for the hunters, it is enough to dispel some of their luck.

After running back and forth for a day and a night, Alva, who was almost exhausted, pulled Gordon and kept emphasizing.

"Don't ignore that information. From my experience, the grammar of those inscriptions is not like illusory myths, but more like warnings for future generations.

Qilin can summon thunder, Steel Dragon can set off tornadoes, Flame King Dragon can explode the earth, and even the seemingly most impossible ability to summon meteorites, according to ancient documents, Snake King Dragon can also do it.

If the information in the ruins is true, what you are about to face will be an unprecedentedly powerful enemy that combines the abilities of multiple ancient dragons.

Any little bit of luck or negligence may cost you your life."

The disastrous defeat of the alcohol team and Alva's warning forced the three Gordons to prepare for the worst.

In addition to preparing armor, weapons, various potions, and props, Hayata even went to find Gale and solemnly asked the latter to take care of Muti for them if something happened to them.

Gale was so angry that he couldn't help but pinch her several times.

Before dawn, the airship finally completed all preparations before departure.

Under the uneasy gazes of everyone, Gordon and his party boarded the airship and headed towards the land of dragon crystal.

After three days and two nights of flying, the airship finally arrived at the Dragon Crystal Land and hovered in a relatively safe mountain col.

According to Babaka, who was traveling with him, the straight-line distance from this place to the Qimian Clan’s residence that housed the alcoholic trio was only four or five kilometers.

He was not sure of the specific route. After all, when he went to report the news to the stars, he took the risk of leaving from the air.

If the airship continues forward, it is likely to attract the attention of the ancient dragons that live in the core area of ​​​​the Dragon Crystal Land, increasing the risk. The next road can only rely on walking.

Rejecting the doctors' suggestion to act together, Gordon and his party slid down the rope to the ground.

Pig Chop glanced at the sky and said worriedly: "Do you really want to move at night?"

"Well." Gordon's expression was calm, "The purpose of this trip is not to fight, but to rescue.

The darkness will affect our vision, but it will also serve as our cover.

According to the plan, avoid open areas and move in small caves and rock passages as much as possible to reduce the probability of encountering the monster.

Oh, by the way, now it’s time to call it ‘Behemoth’. "

Hayata raised his hat-shaped helmet and looked at the mountains undulating like a herd of animals under the cover of night.

"Behemoth, the 'Swarm of Behemoths'?"
