Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1290: A Look

At the same time Feng Ying jumped into the sea, Gordon and Ansel arrived at the Frozen Canyon.

As the two most powerful hunters in the Yuechen base and even in the entire investigation team, the mission they undertake is naturally the most dangerous.

They need to go deep into the Frozen Canyon to scout for signs of Ice Curse Dragons appearing there, and at the same time confirm the situation of the Wind Drifting Dragons.

The first one is fine, but the second one seems a bit confusing.

This strange task came from the concerns of the leader of the third group.

A few months ago, Feng Ying and others witnessed the Ice Curse Dragon attacking and driving away the Wind Drifting Dragon on the northern coast of the New World.

This proves that the Ice Curse Dragon has the ability to suppress groups of Wind Dragons.

At first, when Gordon and the others heard the leader of the third group mention this, they didn't pay much attention to it.

It's not surprising that an ancient dragon has the ability to suppress a race of flying dragons.

But then, the leader of the third group further proposed another possibility.

——Since the Ice Curse Dragon has the ability to suppress the entire Wind Drifting Dragon clan, it means that it is completely capable of driving away the Wind Drifting Dragon clan that has settled in the Frozen Canyon, and even driving them in a certain direction.

Some slow-reacting hunters might ask, "So what?", but Gordon and Ansell, who had personally experienced the scourge of the Thunder Wolf Dragon in Jieyun Village, could not ask such a question.

Where would the group of wind-drifting dragons that were driven out of the frozen canyon and forced to move south most likely go to find a new nesting site?
Of course, you have to find a place that is spacious, flat, relatively warm, and has sufficient food resources.

In the entire Everfrost, is there any place more suitable than the Moon Stronghold?
It is not uncommon for ancient dragons to intentionally or unintentionally expel other monsters as the vanguard of their "attack" on human fortresses. Rather, it is very common.

Aware of the danger, the Yuechen stronghold immediately went on alert.

Most of the hunters who were sent out to investigate the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon were recalled, and the number of sentries and patrols increased.

Part of the underground warehouse was emptied and prepared as emergency shelters for non-combatants to take refuge.

Send airships to the Star Base to transport more heavy crossbows, restraint bombs and other anti-aircraft weapons, and request the commander-in-chief to send more hunters for support.

These preparations may not be used in the end, but they are much better than being helpless when a large number of dragons attack.

He jumped off the sled with fur on his boots to prevent moisture and sinkage.

Gordon twisted his waist and moved his neck. Pork Chop stretched his legs and tail beside him. The man and the cat moved their joints, making crackling sounds.

"I've heard from you a long time ago that there are a lot of wind dragons gathering in this place, but this is my first time coming here in person." Gordon sighed as he looked at the entrance to the Frozen Canyon not far away.

Not to mention that he had never been here, except for the first time he arrived in the ice field, the mission of establishing diplomatic relations with the Beast Clan, and the subsequent time he rescued the swordsmanship master, he had hardly ever left the base.

On the contrary, Pork Chop gets the chance to run away every day.

According to the swordsmanship masters, as long as Pork Chop has enough explosives, he can even be a high-ranking hunter.
High in the sky, there was a wind-blown dragon hovering.

Gordon grinned, looking eager to try, "Can you stretch your muscles?"

"Why are you stretching your muscles? Are you planning to rush into the canyon and kill those twenty or thirty wind dragons?" Ansher threw an invisibility suit to Gordon.

"Put it on quickly, don't get discovered. This is a covert reconnaissance operation, not a punitive mission."

"Tsk." Gordon rubbed his palms and put on the snow-white invisible suit that was specially modified to adapt to the ice environment.

"Pork Chop, you should sneak in and scout the situation first." Ansil said to Pork Chop with his head down.

"Okay, meow." Zhuchou tightened his equipment and weapons and ran out.

Ansel looked at Gordon, who seemed to be itching to do something, and warned him again: "Those are thirty Wind Drifting Dragons, not Winter Wing Dragons.

Even if I chop your sword until it is bare, I still can't chop that many. You will have the chance to attack later, so hold back now."

Gordon sighed and loosened his grip.

Since becoming a nine-star hunter, the opportunities to hunt freely have become fewer and fewer.

Everyone treated him as a decisive battle weapon like the Dragon Slayer Cannon, and the ancient dragon species was almost becoming the "minimum threshold" to pull him out of the warehouse.

After finding a secluded place and hiding the sled, Gordon and Ansel waited for dozens of minutes before Pork Chop emerged from the snow in front of them.

Shaking off the snow dust stuck on his fur, Zhuchou said, "The Fengpiaolong group is still the same, meow, there is no sign of them leaving, nor do they seem to be on guard against anything, meow.

I don't think the Ice Curse Dragon is around here, at least not yet."

An Xier breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good news. At least Yuechen will have more time to prepare."

Gordon didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

If it was just a simple covert reconnaissance mission, Pig Chop could have done it alone.

So what is the purpose of him, a nine-star hunter, and Anshil, an eight-star hunter, coming here?
This is so that if Pig Chop discovers the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon during the reconnaissance, the two of them can take action and try to kill the Ice Curse Dragon directly here, then there will be no trouble.

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch him.

"So, are we going back now?" Gordon asked Anshil who stood up.

"What else do you want to do? Pick two winter flower buds and take them back to make supplementary food for your Muti?"

Gordon was choked and speechless.

"I have a suggestion, meow!" Pork Chop suddenly raised his paw.

"Tell me?"

"Our reconnaissance is just a matter of luck. In order to avoid being attacked from the air, we can only travel by sled, which is a waste of time.

Maybe we can leave a few pairs of eyes in the canyon, so that if the Ice Curse Dragon really comes here to drive away the Wind Drifting Dragons, we can get the news faster. "

"Who will be the eyes?" Gordon asked with some interest.

"Anyway, it's not you. With your size, it's better to let you kill all the wind dragons than to let you hide and monitor." An Xier glanced at him and said, "Hunting cats are the most suitable.

Did Xianglan learn the tricks from the Secret Team and ask her to bring two cats?"

"I have a more suitable candidate!" Zhucho scratched his beard and said, "How about the Beast Clan? They are the indigenous orcs, and are used to lurking in the snow.

It is also small in size and is not likely to attract the attention of the Wind Dragon in the canyon.

The question is how to contact meow quickly? "

Ansir thought for a moment and said, "Give them a few flares. When a warning is needed, let them run to the top of the mountain and fire flares.

When the weather is good and visibility is high, you should be able to just about see Yuechen.

And they can ride ice jackals, so even if they run over here, they are still quite fast."

"It should work, meow. I'll call them over."

Pig Chop nodded, took out the rescue signal smoke from his bag and lit it.

The lingering black smoke rose into the air and was very conspicuous under the clear sky. Gordon and his party continued to wait.

After a long time, a few beast tribesmen finally ran over.

These little guys looked a little disheveled and seemed to have been injured, but when they saw the rescue smoke signal, they still rushed over with weapons in hand, showing great loyalty.

Seeing them looking around with weapons in hand, wary of non-existent enemies, Gordon and the others felt a little embarrassed.

Gordon took the initiative to hand over a few bottles of recovery medicine and food.

Anshil spoke the Orc language with a strange-faced accent, not fluently but barely usable, to communicate with the beastmen.

He did not immediately state their needs, but first asked about the situation of the Beast Clan and whether they needed their help.

The Beastmen chattered with him for a while, and Ansel's expression became strange.

"What happened?" Gordon demanded.

"They encountered an ice collapse before and got separated from one of their companions. They are currently searching for them."

"We can help you with this!" Gordon said immediately, "Before asking someone for help, you should always show some attitude."

He just didn't want to go home so early.

"Well, and the names of these little guys are really unique."
