Chapter 684 A sense of danger from an unknown source

The little alchemist gave another two days.

Gordon could tell that the little fat man was very cautious this time. It would not have taken so long to smelt the protective stone using ancient alchemy. At that time, it only took more than an hour to smelt Nadia's protective stone.

Maybe the king-level protective stone itself and the materials used to strengthen it are relatively precious, so I want to prepare them carefully.

In his current state of mind where he can fall asleep even while standing, if he performs a difficult ancient alchemy technique, failure is almost certain.

As the fourteenth generation head of Maka Alchemy House, you cannot be so irresponsible!

So, Gordon and others returned to the Isana.

They had already visited this small mountaintop village, and now if they wanted to continue killing time, they could only look over and over to maintain equipment, or read books or something.

On the deck, Gordon, who was wiping [He Yao] bit by bit, sighed helplessly.

This trip to Sinard Village was really disappointing. If it weren't for the fat man from the Alchemy House who brought them some gains, this trip would really be considered a pure tourist trip.

Hayata on the side took a sharpening stone and carefully ground the blade, then took out a cotton cloth, dipped it in anti-rust knife oil and applied it carefully. After completing the maintenance of a tachi, Hayata smiled and said: "Have a peaceful time.

Isn’t it good to have a week?”

"It's so peaceful!" Feng Ying threw aside the monster illustrated book that she had almost torn through, hugging her knees and muttering, "I thought this trip would be more exciting."

An Xil came over and stuffed another tome into Feng Ying's arms, "You've already said this, so if nothing happens, something will happen."

"Haha! Superstitious!"

The next day, the village elders visited the Isana and met with the brigade leader.

An Xil glanced at Feng Ying, whose face was filled with questions, and laughed.

Sure enough, after the two old men exchanged a few words, the brigade leader waved and called the hunters over.

The elder seemed a little anxious. He was impatient and said before the leader could speak: "Everyone, I have something urgent to ask for your help.

There was a villager in our village who set out early to collect herbs the day before yesterday. He should have been back before sunset the day before yesterday. However, he stayed out all night and had no news yesterday. His wife was very worried and came to find us.

He is an experienced herb collector, and he would not go to any dangerous areas. We are worried that he was attacked by a monster, and we would like to ask for your help in the investigation and rescue."

There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing. Gordon nodded, and everyone in the hunting group quickly finished dressing up, put on basic hunting props, and set off in a hurry.

The terrain of Sky Mountain is steep, with many places going straight up and down. Rock peaks are intertwined with countless thick vines. There are also a large number of ruins mixed in, layer upon layer, making it easy for outsiders to get lost.

Gordon had been here once and was somewhat impressed, but he was certainly not familiar with it. Fortunately, he had the detailed map provided by the elders and others.

After leaving the village for some distance, Gordon made a gesture, the running team paused, and everyone gathered around him.

"If we go further, we will go off the road. We will split up to investigate. Once we find the rescue target, we will launch a flare. If we encounter a large monster, try not to conflict. If a battle must break out, we will also launch a flare."

After glancing at his companions and confirming that everyone heard clearly, Gordon took out the map and unfolded it, "According to the elders and others, the rescue target shouldn't be too far away.

Ansir is responsible for areas six and seven in the northwest, Hayata is responsible for the mountain peak, which is areas four and eight, Feng Ying is responsible for areas one and three near the camp, and I am responsible for areas two and five."

Everyone carefully confirmed the area they were responsible for exploring and kept the contents on the map in mind.

More than a minute later, Gordon put away the map and said, "The restricted area is in the southwest direction. It is forbidden to approach. If there is a reason to get closer, remember to fire the signal flare in advance."

Gordon said this while staring at Feng Ying.

"." Feng Ying flattened her mouth.

Having said that, the area that Master Gordon is responsible for is in the southwest, which is just between the area that he is responsible for and the restricted area. Don't say that he doesn't want to cause trouble, even if he wants to cause trouble, he will be caught by Master Gordon.

Thinking of this, Feng Ying's face was as twitchy as a dumpling. Do you think she doesn't trust herself so much?

Gordon pinched Feng Ying's cheeks and continued to remind his companions, "The geology of Sky Mountain is very unstable. Many rock peaks and boulders are bound by vines or even suspended, and may collapse at any time. Pay attention to your feet and the top of your head, and set off separately.

"

The hunters spread out and explored their respective areas.

Gordon is not worried about the safety of his companions. Even Feng Ying, the weakest member of the team, is still a five-star hunter.

At this level, there are not many monsters that can really pose a fatal threat to her, not to mention the tooth hound Amber. Even if there is a "regional overlord" like the Dino Tyrannosaurus, she can at least run away.

A man and a cat walked among the rugged rocks.

"Something's not right, meow." Pig Chop, who was running around beside Gordon, suddenly raised his body, "It's not the smell, meow, but..."

"Some kind of amorphous sense of danger, right?" Gordon slowed down and looked vaguely to the southwest.

"Gordon feels it too Meow?"

"Um."

Gordon pulled down his visor, "There was no clear sense of direction, nor the feeling of being watched. I just felt that I was in danger, but I couldn't tell where the danger came from."

"Gordon suspects it's the reason behind the forbidden area, meow?"

"It's possible. After all, our place is closest to the restricted area. I'll ask Hayata and the others later if they have similar feelings."

Neither Gordon nor Pork Chop had any intention of approaching the restricted area to find out what was going on.

Further investigation may be necessary, but not now.

The only goal at the moment is to rescue the missing villagers and check the restricted areas. We can wait until we report to the elders and monks and see their decisions.

After confirming his current location based on the surrounding terrain, Gordon was ready to take Pork Chop to continue searching for traces of the missing persons.

At this moment, a signal flare was raised in the air two or three kilometers away in a straight line.

Gordon and Zhupa looked at each other, "It's Feng Ying's side, let's go!"

"What's going on?" Anhir turned over and jumped off Gale's saddle.

He was the first to arrive, riding a toothhound at a speed several times that of running on foot.

"Shh!" Feng Ying put her finger in front of her mouth, signaling An Xier to whisper, and then made a few gestures to the latter.

An Xil nodded, quietly walked around the rock wall where Feng Ying was hiding, and looked in the direction indicated by Feng Ying.

Ahead is a hunter's camp built among ruins. Outside the exit is a narrow pass with a width of only a little over one meter. Humans can enter and exit normally, but large monsters have difficulty entering.

A huge orangutan with pink fur was roaring and wandering here. From time to time, it would rush towards the narrow pass that it could not pass. It was very violent, but not very smart.

Peach-haired Beast King?

"Hubo told me that there was a smell of someone in the camp, and the missing person should be hiding in the camp." Feng Ying whispered.

Anhil narrowed his eyes slightly.

This lingering sense of threat enveloped my heart.

No wonder Feng Ying chose to wait for support instead of rushing in to chop after sending the signal.

Is that really just a peach-haired beast king?!
