Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

At the same time Feng Ying jumped into the sea, Gordon and An Xier came to the Frozen Canyon.

As the two most powerful hunters in the Yuechen base and even the entire investigation team, the mission they undertook was naturally the most dangerous.

They needed to go deep into the Frozen Canyon to detect whether there were signs of the Ice Curse Dragon appearing here, and at the same time confirm the situation of the Wind Drifting Dragon group.

The first one was fine, but the second one seemed a bit inexplicable.

This strange mission came from the concerns of the leader of the third phase group.

A few months ago, Feng Ying and others witnessed the scene of the Ice Curse Dragon attacking and driving away the Wind Drifting Dragon on the northern coast of the New World.

This proved that the Ice Curse Dragon had the ability to suppress groups of Wind Drifting Dragons.

At first, when the leader of the third phase group mentioned this, Gordon and others didn't pay much attention.

It's not surprising that an ancient dragon has the ability to suppress a group of flying dragons.

But then, the leader of the third phase group further proposed another possibility.

——Since the Ice Curse Dragon has the ability to suppress the entire Wind Drifting Dragon tribe, it means that it is fully capable of driving away the Wind Drifting Dragons that live in the Frozen Canyon, and even driving them to a certain direction.

Some slow-reacting hunters may ask "So what?", but Gordon and Ansel, who have personally experienced the chaos of the Thunder Wolf Dragon in Jieyun Village, can't ask such a question.

Where are the Wind Drifting Dragons that are driven out of the Frozen Canyon and forced to move south most likely to go to find a new nesting place?

Of course, they have to find a spacious, flat, relatively warm place with sufficient food resources.

Is there any place in the entire Everfrost Land that is more suitable than the Moon Star Base?

It is not uncommon for the ancient dragon species to intentionally or unintentionally expel other monsters as the vanguard of their "attack" on human fortresses. It is not uncommon.

The Moon Star Base, aware of this danger, immediately entered a state of alert.

Most of the hunters who were sent out to investigate the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon were recalled, and the number of sentries and patrols increased.

Some underground warehouses were cleared out and prepared as emergency shelters for non-combatants to take refuge.

Airships were dispatched to the Star Base to transport more heavy crossbows, restraint bombs and other anti-aircraft weapons, and the commander-in-chief was requested to send more hunters for support.

These preparations may not be used in the end, but it is much better than being helpless when a large number of flying dragons attack.

He jumped off the sled with moisture-proof and anti-sinking fur on his boots.

Gordon twisted his waist and moved his neck again. Pork Chop stretched his legs and tail beside him. One man and one cat moved their joints, making crackling sounds.

"I've heard from you that there are many wind dragons gathering in this place, but this is the first time I've come here in person." Looking at the entrance of the Frozen Canyon not far away, Gordon sighed.

Not to mention that he has never been here before, except for the mission of establishing diplomatic relations with the Beast Clan when he first arrived in the ice field, and the time he rescued the swordsmanship master later, he has hardly left the base.

On the contrary, Pig Chop always gets the chance to run away.

According to the swordsmanship masters, as long as Pig Chop brings enough explosives, he can even be a high-level hunter.

In the sky, there is a wind-drifting dragon hovering.

Gordon grinned, a little eager to try, "Is it time to stretch your muscles?"

"What muscles do you want to stretch? Are you going to rush into the canyon and chop all those twenty or thirty wind-drifting dragons?" Anshil threw an invisible suit to Gordon.

"Put it on quickly, don't be discovered, this is a secret reconnaissance operation, not a crusade mission."

"Tsk." Gordon rubbed his palms and put on the snow-white invisible suit that was specially modified to adapt to the ice field environment.

"Pork Chop, you sneak in and scout the situation first." Anshil lowered his head and said to Pig Chop.

"Okay." Pig Chop tightened his equipment and weapons and ran out.

Anshil looked at Gordon, who seemed to be itching to kill, and warned again: "Those are thirty wind-drifting dragons, not winter-winged dragons.

Even if your sword is bald, you can't kill that many. You will have a chance to kill later, so hold back now."

Gordon sighed and loosened his hand.

Since becoming a nine-star hunter, the opportunities to hunt freely have become fewer and fewer.

Everyone treated him as a decisive weapon like a dragon-killing cannon, and the ancient dragon species were almost the "lowest threshold" to pull him out of the warehouse.

Finding a hidden place and hiding the sled, Gordon and Anshil waited for dozens of minutes, and Pork Chop emerged from the snow in front of them.

After shaking off the snow dust stuck on his hair, Zhu Chop said, "The Wind Dragon Group is still the same. There is no sign of leaving, nor does it seem to be on guard against anything.

I think the Ice Curse Dragon is not around here, at least not yet."

An Xier breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good news. At least Yuechen can have more time to prepare."

Gordon didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

If it was just a simple secret reconnaissance mission, Zhu Chop could do it alone.

So what was the purpose of him, a nine-star hunter, and An Xier, an eight-star hunter?

It was so that if Zhu Chop found the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon during the reconnaissance, the two of them would try to solve the Ice Curse Dragon here directly, and there would be no trouble.

Unfortunately, they didn't catch it.

"So, let's go back now?" Gordon asked An Xier who stood up.

"What else do you want to do? Pick two winter flower buds and take them back to make supplementary food for your Muti?"

Gordon was choked and speechless.

"I have a suggestion!" Pork Chop suddenly raised his paw.

"Tell me?"

"We can only rely on luck to conduct reconnaissance like this. In order to avoid being attacked from the air, we can only travel by sled, which is a waste of time.

Maybe we can leave a few pairs of eyes in the canyon, so that if the Ice Curse Dragon really comes here to drive away the Wind Drifting Dragon Group, we can get the news faster."

"Who will be the eye?" Gordon asked with some interest.

"It's not you anyway. With your size, it's better to let you kill all the wind dragons than to lurk and monitor." An Xier glanced at him and said, "Hunting cats are the most suitable.

Xianglan has learned the secret team's tricks, let her bring two cats?"

"I have a more suitable candidate meow!" Zhu Chop scratched his beard and said, "How about the beast tribe meow? They are the native beastmen and are used to lurking in the snow meow.

They are also small in size and are not easy to attract the attention of the wind dragons in the canyon meow.

The problem is how to contact quickly meow?"

An Xier thought for a while and said, "Give them a few flares. When they need to warn, let them run to the top of the mountain to fire flares.

When the weather is good and the visibility is high, Yuechen should be able to see them.

And they can also ride ice jackals. Even if they run over, their speed is not slow."

"It should work meow, I'll call them over meow."

Zhu Chop nodded, took out the rescue smoke from his bag, and lit it.

The condensed black smoke rose into the air, which was very conspicuous under the clear sky. Gordon and his party continued to wait.

After a long time, several beasts finally came over.

These little guys looked a little embarrassed and seemed to be injured, but when they saw the rescue smoke, they still took their weapons and rushed over as soon as possible, which was very loyal.

Seeing them looking around with weapons, alert to the non-existent enemy, Gordon and his party felt a little embarrassed.

Gordon took the initiative to hand over several bottles of recovery medicine and carry food.

An Xier spoke with a strange face accent, not very fluent, but barely usable orc language, and communicated with the beasts.

He did not immediately tell them what they needed, but first asked about the situation of the beasts and whether they needed their help.

The beasts chattered with him for a while, and An Xier's expression became strange.

"What happened?" Gordon asked.

"They encountered an ice collapse and were separated from a companion. We are looking for them now."

"We can help with this!" Gordon said immediately: "Before asking others for help, you should always show some attitude."

He just didn't want to go home so early.

"Well, and the names of these little guys are really unique."
