Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

On the lunch table.

Feng Ying, who was hungry in every sense of the word, picked up a piece of roast leg meat, and before she could put it in her mouth, she was greeted by everyone's bright eyes.

Even Mushroom held up the dragon cloth with both claws, as if he was ready to rush up and strangle her at any moment.

Feng Ying: "."

Suddenly I lost my appetite.

The professor who noticed this tapped his cup with a spoon, attracting everyone's attention, "Everyone, please don't be so tight.

Doing this will make her nervous and affect the resonance.

The so-called resonance is a small probability event. It is a waste of time to have so many people staring at it together. Just arrange one or two people.

Ai Bo, you and Feng Ying are partners. Remember to follow her these two days and continue doing what everyone else should do. "

"Understood." Ai Bo nodded seriously.

At the professor's reminder, others also withdrew their gazes.

Feng Ying, who had been carrying it all morning, finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the food on the table, and started chewing.

After lunch, the professor led Feng Ying to a quiet cabin.

"Meditate, concentrate, try to start from 'you', and take the initiative to feel the information about 'it'."

Feng Ying exhaled, feeling the lingering anger and hunger in her heart, and sat down cross-legged.

Ai Bo carefully placed a delicate brass incense burner next to her and lit the spices in it.

She borrowed this thing from the leader of the third phase of the regiment, and of course the spices, which are said to have a calming effect.

Hayata, who often practices knife meditation and is very skilled in meditation, sat opposite Feng Ying and guided her into the state.

In a series of soothing instructions such as "concentrate", "slowly relax the muscles from the limbs to the trunk", "feel and listen to your own heartbeat".

Hayata herself quickly entered the state, and Feng Ying.

She was almost asleep.

Hayata was helpless and was about to wake her up, but the professor stopped her.

"Perhaps relaxing into sleep would be more effective for her than meditating."

With that said, he gave Feng Ying a pillow.

Under the professor's encouraging gaze, Feng Ying lay down on the spot with her pillow on her head a little uneasily.

Although it was a bit weird to be stared at, of course I couldn't let go of the opportunity to eat and sleep confidently.

At the professor's instruction, Hayata once again talked about those "meditation points" that made people sleepy. Soon, Fengying snored and fell into a deep sleep.

One minute, five minutes, quarter of an hour

She was sleeping normally.

After watching for a while, the professor whispered to April: "You stay here with her."

With that said, he was about to get up and leave to do other things first.

Feng Ying, who was sleeping peacefully a second ago, sat up with a "poof!"

The hearts of several other people in the cabin were also raised at the same time.

They stared closely at the "waking up" Feng Ying, worried about her condition, and looking forward to the information she might bring.

Feng Ying's movements when she stood up were stiff and slow, like a machine that was malfunctioning.

As if there were bearings under her feet, she turned around in a small circle, and then walked in one direction step by step.

The cabin was narrow, only a few meters deep. She was about to hit the wall of the cabin before taking two steps, and she had no intention of stopping.

His red pupils stared quietly at the wall in front of him, or rather, something farther away behind the wall.

As he walked, he raised his right hand into a fist and tightened his muscles, obviously preparing to demolish the wall with his bare hands.

"mushroom!"

Realizing that Feng Ying's actions were all instinctive and unconscious actions, Hayata quickly shouted a reminder.

The mushroom holding the dragon corpse cloth had already rushed forward, jumped up behind Feng Ying, shook off the dark red ancient cloth, and held Feng Ying's head.

Feng Ying, who was sleepwalking, made a movement and fell straight backwards.

Ai Bo quickly supported her from behind.

Soon, she woke up, looked around in confusion for a few seconds, and then came to her senses, "Did I just enter the resonance state?"

"Um."

The professor stared at the direction Feng Ying had just moved in, took out the compass and recorded the position.

"Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? For example, a headache, physical exhaustion or something?" Hayata asked uneasily.

In fact, she has always been opposed to this strategy of prompting Feng Ying to enter a state of resonance and obtain information.

But the Dragon King's information is crucial, and they cannot give up this is almost the only source of information.

Feng Ying shook her head vigorously, "On the contrary, I don't feel very tired. I just feel like I had a very strange dream?"

"What kind of thing? Describe it as soon as possible. The memory of the dream will fade quickly after you wake up. Tell me while you still have the impression." The professor urged.

"In the dream, I seemed very angry and hungry."

"Is it the perspective of the Dragon King?" the professor guessed, and then continued to ask: "Have you noticed what the environment around you is like?

Plain? The top of the mountain? Basin Canyon? "

Feng Ying shook her head vigorously, "It's blurry, as if I haven't opened my eyelids. I can feel a little light, but I can't see anything."

The professor nodded, not looking disappointed.

"Although I didn't express a clearer message in words, I probably have an idea. You can put on the Dragon Skeleton Cloth and relax for a while.

An hour later we were out to sea. "

"Going to sea?"

"Um."

The professor did not play charades, and stretched out his hand towards Ai Bo, "Give me a big map of the Demon-Condensing Land."

Aibo quickly took out a map from his book folder and handed it to the professor.

The professor spread the map on the ground, "We are here now, on the reef in the southern sea area of ​​the Gathering Demon Land."

The professor drew a small red cross on the map, then pressed the compass on the position of the red cross and continued: "In the resonance state, your walking direction is about 20 degrees north by west."

As he said, he took out the pen and ruler he carried with him, starting from the "red cross" where the Azure Star was located, and drew a straight line along the angle of 20 degrees north by west, all the way to the end of the map.

"We are now on the southern sea of ​​the Troll Land. We will go to the west later to see if we can make you resonate again and find a direction."

Ai Bo suddenly realized, "Draw another extension line. The place where the two lines intersect is where Feng Ying wants to go in the resonant state?"

"Well, that place may be the lair of the Dragon King, or it may be the place where the Dragon King plans to go after waking up.

No matter which possibility it is, it is always right to confirm the coordinates of that place first."

The professor looked at the map and compass and continued, "But it is very difficult to confirm an accurate coordinate based on the 'facing direction'.

Just like just now, Feng Ying may be facing 20 degrees north west, or 10 degrees or 30 degrees west.

If only two lines are used, the coordinate error of the intersection is very large, and this error will increase infinitely as the distance increases, and the meaning of positioning will be lost.

It is best to let Feng Ying move forward dozens of meters on the ground, so that the direction can be locked more accurately through footprints.

At the same time, we should go to as many places as possible. The more lines we draw, the denser the intersection, and the more accurate the final coordinates will be."

Feng Ying: "."

No? Do you really use me as a compass? !
