Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The next day, at dawn, the hunter and his party left the camp and set off.

Carrying a large amount of ammunition and supplies, they are not fast. It is indeed dangerous to enter the hunting ground with such a nearly full load.

However, considering the hunter levels of Hilda and Anshir, as well as the ecological level of the outer area of ​​the volcano, this degree of risk is acceptable.

But even so, Hilda and the others still showed a considerable degree of caution, always maintaining a vigilant formation, beware of any surprise attacks by monsters.

Under normal circumstances, it should be the shooter who is protected in the safest position in the center of the team. After all, in the face of emergencies, the shooter's self-protection ability is relatively weak.

However, at this time, the person receiving protection in the middle of the team was Feng Ying.

This made Fengying feel very strange, how could she be a shield axe too?

Among the four types of melee hunters who use shields, except for the one-handed swordsman who usually exists as a shortstop or supporter, the gunslinger, spearman, and shield axeman are all standard avant-garde.

As an avant-garde, being protected by two shooters one after the other, isn't it too shameless?

So, during a short break in the middle, she raised this point to captain Hilda, hoping to adjust her position.

Fengying thinks that with her own strength, she won't mention it after entering the lava cave inside the mountain, but at least in this area outside the volcano, it's relatively easy to fight, right?

Hilda refused, for a simple reason.

It's true that you are a swordsman, but you are the weakest, so you should just stay in the middle of the team.

Anshir's statement was even more merciless.

Are you an avant-garde? No, you are a truck.

Fengying went back to the center of the team in a vigorous manner, and at the same time, she kept thinking in her heart that when she catches up with her hunter level in the future, I will mock you as a "weak archer" again!

The journey to Camp No. 2 was safe and sound, but there were two monsters encountered on the way, but they did not pose any threat to the team.

Before the two giant bees had time to fly close, they were shot by Anshir in the air. One of the pterosaurs hovering over the team, looking for an opportunity to take advantage, was also shot down by Hilda with an arrow.

After most of the day, Fengying didn't even have a chance to draw her weapon, and the group arrived at the No. 2 camp.

Hilda walked around the temporary camp and nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's pretty good, although it's open air, it shouldn't rain in the short term, so you can camp.

Let's unload the excess ammunition and supplies. We will take turns to rest until tomorrow morning, and then we will start hunting. "

"I feel like I can start after a short rest, it's still early and I'm not tired," Fengying murmured.

Now she really wanted to draw out her weapon and chop something, even a big wild boar.

"no."

In this matter, Hilda was very serious, "Fengying, have you ever been hunting in the volcanic area?"

Once Hilda, who was powerful, had a high status, and had been an instructor for many years, became serious, she was much more attractive than Gordon Anhill and the others, and Fengying couldn't help but tighten her neck.

"didn't say"

"Due to the existence of volcanic ash, the volcanic area is dark all year round, especially the inner area of ​​the mountain, which is even more isolated from the sun, and the light basically comes from the lava.

Therefore, the volcanic area is one of the rare places where there is little difference between day and night, and we can act all night. We may have to hunt for a long time this time.

Considering the extremely hot temperature and complex terrain, it is very important to have sufficient physical strength, and we must recharge our batteries. "

Fengying nodded quickly, expressing that she understood.

"Eat now, and then the two of you will go to bed first, and the shift will be in six hours, and we will leave tomorrow morning."

Another night passed, and this was already the fourth day after they came to the volcanic area.

Although the volcano is hot and sleeping on the ground is really not comfortable, the hunters have long been used to it.

After checking the equipment and props for the last time, they finally officially started hunting. Under the guidance of Anshir, they came to a hillside not far from the No. 2 camp.

There is a steaming opening that leads to a lava cave in the interior of the mountainside.

"Have a cold drink."

The hunters poured cold drinks one after another, and Fengying even fed some to Amber.

They walked into the entrance of the cave. The inside of the cave was not flat, but a steep slope of nearly forty-five degrees.

It is difficult to walk normally on this slope without relying on ropes and tools. The hunters simply sat down and slid all the way down.

After leaving the cave entrance, the light in the cave became very dim, and even the companions around him could not see clearly. Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

As it continued to descend, the temperature became higher and higher, and there was a fire-like orange-red light emerging in front of it—that was the golden-red light from the hot lava.

"Slow down." Hilda reminded.

The hunters stretched their limbs one after another, slowed down their gliding speed, and finally stopped and stood up.

"I'm ahead, stay alert."

Fengying was sandwiched between two fellow shooters again, but this time she didn't struggle with anything. To be honest, this kind of hell-like environment made her feel nervous.

A group of people walked forward slowly, and after walking out of the narrow corridor, the front suddenly opened up.

Fengying couldn't help but let out a soft "Wow!"

This is a golden-red world, waterfalls made of viscous lava, rivers, and lakes can be seen everywhere, and even the rocks on the ground are faintly glowing red.

If it weren't for the hunters' greaves with good heat insulation function, and they drank cold drinks in advance, walking on such ground would burn their feet.

Hilda looked left and right to confirm the terrain, and then compared the previous position of the cave entrance, and quickly confirmed their current position.

She gestured - go east.

The team took action, they quickly passed through the scorching cave, and rushed towards the area where Hilda had discovered the Hammer Dragon before.

Fengying could feel that the terrain was gradually descending.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried. It's already so hot here. If she continues to move forward, will it become more and more exaggerated? There is magma under your feet and nowhere to walk?

However, the development of things was exactly the opposite of what she thought.

After passing through several scorching caves and corridors, the surrounding area suddenly became cooler.

Of course, this coolness is relative, but compared to the previous ghost place where you would be roasted dry if you didn’t drink cold drinks, this place where there is no lava is indeed cool.

The reason for the low temperature here is also very simple, an underground river meanders in front of them.

The water wasn't deep, and he wasn't in a hurry. Anshir leaned over and touched the water surface with his fingertips, "There is no corrosion, it should be fresh water, and the water temperature isn't too high."

The dog Amber's move was more direct than his. It put its nose into the water and smelled it, and then directly stuck out its tongue and licked and drank the water.

"This is unreasonable. How can there be such an underground river in a volcano? The river water has not been evaporated or polluted by lava?" Anshir really couldn't understand.

Fengying didn't even bother to think. She took two steps into the deepest underground river, which didn't reach her thighs. She took a peek at Hilda. Seeing that the latter didn't object, she simply pretended to fall and lay down on her stomach.

Anyway, if you want to cross the river, hurry up and take a dip, it's all time to take a shower.

Amber jumped in too.

Seeing a person and a dog flopping about in the shallow water, Hilda was annoyed and funny.

"Get up quickly, we still have to hurry."

Ps. Rising maps are very unscientific.
