Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After some distance away from Grombaum, the survey team's airship began to lower its altitude.

It is indeed safer to cruise at an altitude of several thousand meters. After all, even the "King of the Sky" like the Fire Dragon rarely comes to the airspace at this altitude.

But at the same time, it is also easy for them to lose important clues that they may encounter.

Therefore, as the leader of this investigation team, Eliade decided to conduct a search by flying at a low altitude.

After all, all members of the crossover team are on the airship. Even if they are attacked by monsters in the dense forest, as long as the airship quickly drops to close to the height of the tree canopy, they can easily land and launch a counterattack.

With the strength of Ryuuriin's ace team, there are almost no creatures in this dense forest that can pose a threat to them.

Of course, as a pendant, Fufu didn't need to think so much, she was so happy.

Thousands of meters high in the sky, all she could see was the dark green earth and white clouds. She would get tired of watching this scenery for an hour or two, not to mention a few days.

But flying at ultra-low altitude is different, and the scenery you see is different every second.

Under Milch's control, the small airship was like a nimble swallow, nimbly skirting a giant tree dozens of meters high with an exaggerated canopy.

"This kind of tree has a very thick trunk and many branches." Ska said with a smile: "Many bird, dragon, and even flying dragon monsters like to use this as their nest, so be careful."

"yes!"

Because she was too busy, Fufu, who was temporarily appointed as a lookout, quickly raised her telescope.

Sure enough, deep in the dense canopy that looked like a giant umbrella, she vaguely discovered a hint of orange-red color.

"There's something deep in the canopy!" Fufu couldn't help shouting.

The hunters in the cross team focused their attention, and Ska also supported the side of the boat with both hands, leaned forward, and watched carefully for a moment with squinted eyes.

"The little girl has good eyesight. She is a sleeping bird." Ska said with a smile after confirming the identity of the creature deep in the canopy.

Fufu was about to take out her portable camera with great interest.

Isa, a scholar from the Ryukyu Academy, quickly held her down and said, "Keep your voice down. Sleeping birds are very timid. Now is the breeding season of sleeping birds. Being frightened will affect the hatching.

It's fine if we leave like this. As long as we don't take the initiative to anger it or threaten the nest, it will avoid us. "

"Okay." Fufu put away the camera with some regret.

Yuna and the three of them also returned to the relaxed and chatting state before.

Not long after, they flew over a calm pool of water.

Several plump peach-haired beasts were lying on the water's edge, using their sharp harpoon-like claws to fish out sphagnum moss from the water and eat it.

The shadows cast by the airships as they flew by frightened them, and they thought they were intruders trying to grab their territory. They all raised their heads, jumped up and down, and let out demonstrative roars.

Fufu took out the camera again, and this time Mr. Scholar did not stop her.

These irritable little toothed beasts don't care if you pass by quietly, and they can't threaten the airships at the top of the canopy anyway.

However, at this moment, heavy footsteps came from the dense forest next to the pool.

There were also angry low roars and the "click" sound of trees being broken.

A huge peach-haired beast king rushed out of the woods with its round belly.

Its temper is even more grumpy than those little peach-haired beasts.

It howled angrily and waved its claws twice. After realizing that it was completely out of reach of the intruder in the air, it jumped violently and rolled its long tail behind its butt.

Scar, who was so familiar with the behavior and habits of this monster, quickly shouted, "Get out of the way!"

After being reminded, Milch immediately steered the airship to turn.

At the same moment, the peach-haired beast king rolled up a large ball of filth with an indescribable color and smell from behind, flicked his tail sideways and threw it hard.

The mass was like a stone bullet thrown by a trebuchet, flying towards the low-flying airship.

Thanks to the old hunter's reminder and Milch's timely reaction, they escaped.

The brown object almost flew past the side string of the airship, and everyone on the deck could even smell the disgusting stench.

"Kacha——" Fufu, who originally wanted to take a picture of the Peach-Hair Beast King, happened to take a picture of this scene.

She put down the camera with visible disgust on her face. She felt that her camera was dirty.

Seeing that the peach-haired beast king started to dig his butt again, Milsi hurriedly controlled the airship and accelerated away.

"Bang bang!"

"Awww-!"

The peach-haired beast king below beat his chest and howled in victory.

Yuna's eyes twitched as she was almost splashed by the droplets, "You're lucky, if the droplets splash on us, I'll see if I can go down and open your head on the spot!"

The airship continued to move in the direction of the target.

Hearing from the old hunter that there were a lot of peach-haired beasts in the nearby area, Milsi unconsciously raised his flight altitude.

Mr. Isa, an animal behavior expert from Longli Academy, is focused on another aspect.

He looked at this vibrant forest and said, "This is good news. At least it proves that Fu Yuelong has not been around here.

Otherwise, neither the timid sleeping birds nor the manic peach-haired beasts would live such a stable life. "

"Could it be that the guy restrained his aura and hid something?" Fufu tried to join the discussion.

The person who answered her was not the scholar Isa, but the great swordsman Iliad. He crossed his arms and shook his head and said: "The proud ancient dragon does not need to hide his existence.

Gentle-tempered species like Laoshan Dragon can also cause turmoil and migration of monsters on a large scale. "

Isa agreed with a "hmm" sound, and then added: "Even if the Fuyue Dragon finds a mountain forest or a deep valley, hides and sleeps, even if it is dormant, it will be like a real dead thing without any breath.

But just the smell it released when it came was enough to make the local creatures panic for a long time. "

"That's right." Fufu nodded thoughtfully.

Master Feng Ying is usually more careful and does not tell herself too much about ancient dragons.

On the contrary, Mr. Issa and the others, because they are "White Wind" disciples, take it for granted that they already know everything they should know and should not know, and do not avoid these topics very much.

Useful knowledge added!

During the day, they sailed at low altitude to search for possible clues. At night, they landed the airship in an open area, and the hunters took turns keeping watch overnight.

Fu Fu gained a lot when the camera she carried with her ran out of film.

The three-day and two-night voyage was nearing its end. The most important settlement in the southeastern corner of the old continent, Jiangbo Village, was already in sight.

As Fu Fu said before, with the current size of Jiangbo Village, it seems a bit offensive to call it a "village", but Jiangbo Village has never been renamed "Jiangbo Town" or anything like that.

According to the old hunter Ska, this seems to be because of the insistence of the head of Jiangbo Village.

The latter believes that a rapidly developing pioneer village is far more able to attract adventurous young people than an established town, and it is also more conducive to attracting investment.

Fufu thought it was possible in the first half, but she had no opinion on the last half.

Smart businessmen would not make a hasty decision whether to invest or not just because of a place name. There was only one reason why this place could attract businessmen from all walks of life, including the Sterling Chamber of Commerce.

——Jiangbo Village is indeed a transportation hub with full commercial potential.

The investigation team's airship did not just find an open space and land, but circled around Jiangbo Village.

Fufu quickly found the address of her chamber of commerce through the flags and decorations on the roof, and the airship slowly landed in the courtyard of the chamber of commerce.

The well-informed steward of the Chamber of Commerce recognized the logo of Ryuuriin on the airship. Although his heart was full of questions, he still greeted the airship with a smile on his face.

The gangway had just been lowered, and the fish steak had already jumped down first, meowing loudly:

"Your eldest lady is here to inspect meow!"
