Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"This is the captain, the great sword wielder Iliad, and here is his sister, the great hammer wielder Yuna, this frivolous guy is the light crossbow wielder Lan, and their hunting partner Chazi.

They are the 'cross' hunting group I mentioned to you, and they are all very strong guys. "Feng Ying introduced Fu Fu to the three hunters who came to support her.

"Report to Feng Ying! Lan just teased your disciple!" Yuna raised her hand with a smile.

"Ha?!" Feng Ying turned to look at Lan with a very dangerous gaze.

The blond and handsome light crossbow user waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, don't listen to their nonsense, I just said hello normally!"

Feng Ying turned her eyes to Fu Fu, Fu Fu smiled and shook her head, Feng Ying snorted coldly, and then did not go to Lan to trouble her.

After knowing him for so many years, she also knew that this guy had a flirtatious personality. He was a bit greasy, but he probably wouldn't do anything too extreme.

After briefly introducing the identities of the three members of the crossover team, Feng Ying changed the topic back to business.

"With the three of you here, plus me, the hunter's strength should be enough. What about the heavy weapons? What heavy weapons did you bring this time?"

"Artillery, heavy-duty crossbows, rapid-fire cannons, all are available. Cannonballs, restraint rounds and other ammunition can be loaded into an entire airship. That's enough!" Lan said with a smile:

"The list of supplies has been given to the captain. He is currently busy organizing and debugging the air platform. You can ask him about the specific quantity of supplies later."

"Who cares about that, as long as the firepower is sufficient." Feng Ying glanced at the craftsmen on the deck who were carrying and installing heavy weapons in full swing, "Are the shooters responsible for controlling these heavy weapons also coming with the ship?"

The three members of the crossover team looked at each other and did not answer immediately.

Realizing that something was wrong, Feng Ying kept asking, "What's going on? We only brought weapons, but no shooters who controlled the weapons?"

Eliade, the calmest of the three, spoke in a low voice and explained: "Time is tight, and the support team only has very little time to prepare before setting off.

We didn't have time to mobilize enough elite shooters. Even if we brought all the shooters currently in Bernard Village, the number was still not enough.

However, many of the crew members of the Dragon Sense Ship have participated in combating ancient dragon-level creatures, and there are many people who can operate heavy weapons, so there will be no situation where the gun positions are empty. "

Feng Ying didn't answer and was noncommittal.

Unless absolutely necessary, she actually didn't want ordinary people to join the battle against the ancient dragon.

Once an accident occurs during the battle, Gu Long will turn his attention to those fortification weapons, and the casualty rate will be astonishing.

Yuna, who has known her for many years, naturally knew what she was thinking. She reached out and patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry so much.

Those who can join the investigation team and board the Longshi ship are the top players in the industry. They know how to protect themselves. "

"Master Feng Ying! Me! Me!" Fufu's eyes shone with anticipation, "I know how to use the heavy crossbow! I learned it when I went to sea with the fishing fleet last time! They all said that I can shoot accurately!"

Feng Ying's face turned dark.

Agreeing to bring Fufu to see the world does not mean that she will agree to the former joining the battle directly. These are two different concepts.

She rarely used a stern tone, "Don't even think about it. Once a fight breaks out, you will hide in the cabin immediately! You are not allowed to show your face until the alarm is lifted!"

When Fufu saw Feng Ying like this for the first time, she was so frightened that she shrank her neck.

The light crossbow commander Lan gave her a funny look, "Your master is doing it for your own good. Under normal circumstances, only high-ranking hunters are qualified to participate in ancient dragon-related battles.

Even for defensive battles in emergencies, elite hunters with at least three stars or above are allowed to join.

And you're not even a one-star hunter now, are you? When you are able to hunt the big strange bird on your own, come and bargain with your master. "

Looking at Fu Fu mumbling, Feng Ying did not relent, "You go back to the cabin first. What we are going to discuss next involves some confidential information, and it is not suitable for you to listen."

Keeping it secret was one thing, but more importantly, she didn’t want her and others’ discussions to arouse Fufu’s curiosity too much.

"oh"

Fu Fu took the fish steak and left reluctantly.

Looking at Fufu's dejected back, Yuna felt a little funny, "You were also like this when your master and others carried out difficult missions without you."

"Really?" Feng Ying rubbed her face, "Now I know how much headache they had at that time.

Okay, let’s not talk about these. Have you ever seen Fuyue Dragon with your own eyes in the past? "

"Nope."

"No."

"I heard that they are soft-bodied creatures like skeleton dragons. Is that true?"

"Yes, but its habits are completely different, and its body structure is also different. You can simply understand it as a large octopus with a body diameter of more than forty meters, but can float in the air."

Over the years, Longliyuan has trained a group of skilled crew members and craftsmen.

In less than two hours, the connection and debugging work of the aerial platform was completed.

Multiple sets of engines started their afterburners at the same time, pushing this aerial behemoth composed of three large airships to accelerate towards the eastern coastline of the mainland.

In order to avoid accidents, they first flew across Elder Bay and spent a day and night arriving at Grombaum, the largest city in the eastern part of the Old World.

Unlike most large cities that are built along the coast, Guluoumbaum is a typical inland city, with a straight-line distance of nearly 500 kilometers from the nearest coast.

The city was built deep in the dense forest, and the shadows of the trees covered the outer walls of the city, giving people a sense of isolation.

The Dragon Knowledge Ship, which turned into a giant aerial platform, did not land in the city.

Except for Dongduoluma and the Dragon Calendar Institute Headquarters, it is difficult to find an airship platform suitable for the Dragon Knowledge Ship to dock in other cities.

It is like a giant hot air balloon, quietly hovering more than a thousand meters above Guluoumbaum, alert to possible crises.

The investigation team leader, Feng Ying, and several scholars from the Dragon Calendar Institute and the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau took a small airship and landed in Guluoumbaum.

The reason why the group came to this city was, on the one hand, to try their luck, and maybe they could bump into the Fuyue Dragon that came here.

On the other hand, it was also to exchange information with the local guild in Guluoumbaum and assist them in formulating a defense plan.

If the floating dragon suddenly attacks after the dragon ship leaves, the local hunters can quickly organize an effective counterattack force and avoid panic.

The local guild received them.

The leader was a lady in her sixties. Her left leg seemed to be disabled and her walking posture was a little awkward, but she was in good spirits. Her high cheekbones and forehead gave people a strong and tough feeling.

When the group got off the airship, she took the initiative to greet them and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Feng Ying.

The rough palm and strong strength made Feng Ying realize that the other party might have been a hunter in the past.

"Welcome to Groombaum, I am Ota, the head of the local guild." After the lady briefly introduced herself, she went straight to the point.

"Under the emergency declaration issued by the headquarters, the city has entered a state of martial law, but to be honest, we are completely confused about the floating dragon.

Your arrival is really a great help."

Feng Ying likes to deal with straightforward people, "We will not stay here for long. At the latest before noon tomorrow, we will leave and continue to search for the traces of the floating dragon in the Tross forest in the east.

If possible, gather the local hunters as soon as possible. Some information that must be paid attention to needs to be shared with them in advance."

"No problem." Ms. Ota instructed the staff beside her to gather the hunters.

Then, she looked at Feng Ying and the others, "We also have some information obtained from the jungle merchants, which may be of some help to your search."
