Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1456 I'm dying if I can't see my baby

Different from what I imagined.

The current Star Base no longer has the lively atmosphere it once had, but instead has a sense of loneliness and desolation.

More than two months ago, the large group of hunters and editors from the survey team returned to the Old Continent for support.

The two top hunting groups, Silver Edge and Alcohol, plus the Diffusion Heavy Crossbow Team, have also been carrying out special missions in the Demon Gathering Land recently.

All kinds of investigation operations came to a complete halt, and even obtaining resources became quite difficult.

After discussing with Master Cambe, who represented the Guild's high command, the Commander-in-Chief issued the order.

The front-line base, the Moon Stronghold, was shut down, leaving only a very small number of members stationed at the Star Stronghold to carry out minimal maintenance work, while the rest of the personnel were withdrawn to the Old Continent in batches.

It is no exaggeration to say that the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team has been disbanded today.

These old guys who have fought on this land for decades are naturally reluctant to leave, but they have to succumb to reality.

As a leader, he could not make such a stupid decision as forcing everyone to stay in the New World while not being able to do anything and only wasting their lives in the base.

Moreover, they did not become depressed because of this.

In the document from the Guild Headquarters in the Old World, the Great Elder made a guarantee.

Humankind’s pace of exploring the unknown will not stop. When all this subsides, a new investigation team will be established.

The investigation of the New World and even the vast land further north, across the land bridge and the strait, will continue.

The date of re-setting sail should not be too far away.

After listening to the commander-in-chief’s explanation of the situation, the people who had just landed reacted somewhat strongly.

"Really?" Ted scratched his greasy bald head, "I thought there would be a celebration party after I came back.

As a result, almost all the people left.”

The commander-in-chief's serious old face showed a trace of apology, "Sorry."

Ansir raised his hand and said, "You don't need to apologize for such a small matter. It is the most correct decision to withdraw the members and return to the old continent."

Gordon and Hayata's expressions were not very happy, but this dissatisfaction was not directed at the commander-in-chief, but more of a sense of disappointment due to unfulfilled expectations.

Another person who felt the same loss was Gail, but compared to the previous two, her expression was much more straightforward.

She scratched her cheek, looking very upset, "Fu Fu! My Fu Fu! Why did you leave without telling your mother?"

After being separated for several months and experiencing life and death, the longing for each other has increased exponentially.

After urging the airship to fly faster and hurriedly returning to the Star Base, they heard that Mutifufu and the others were taken by Mrs. Sterling and Jessica on the Chamber of Commerce's large ship to the Old World.

Several people had the feeling of "I'm going to die if I can't see my baby!"

Ansel, who was comforting the commander-in-chief and glaring at the drunkards, turned his head helplessly when he heard Gail's dry howl.

“Jessica will take good care of them. The Star Base, with personnel evacuated and supplies scarce, is no longer suitable for children to continue living.

Returning with the Chamber of Commerce's ocean-going ship is the best opportunity and the safest.

If they were to stay here now, it would make me feel uneasy.”

"You're right! But Fufuaaaaaah!"

Anshil was too lazy to pay attention to her, and looked at Gordon and the others and said, “You don’t need to worry about Muti’s matter.

Jessica acted on her own initiative in this matter and did not inform us in advance, probably because she was afraid that we would be distracted over there.

As for safety and other issues on the sea, Jessica will make arrangements.

Well, given her personality, she should leave us a message."

The commander-in-chief's expression became somewhat interesting when he heard this, "You two seem to understand each other. Before Ms. Jessica left, she asked me to give you this letter.

And said you would agree with her decision.”

After taking the letter and taking a quick glance at the contents, Ansel looked as if he had not been surprised.

He handed the letter to Gordon, but Hayata snatched it eagerly.

The content of the letter was very simple. It basically said that she would arrange everything and take Fu Fu and Muti to Dongdoruma, which was the safest place.

Hayata breathed a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't completely let go of her worries.

After all, Muti is too young, having just turned one year old, and it is really unsettling to think of him traveling across the ocean.

Gordon looked at Campbell who came to greet him with the commander-in-chief, "Master, if I'm not mistaken, we will also be transferred back to the Old World next, right?"

The master nodded, "Of course, the red dragon that was the cause of the ancient dragon turmoil, at least part of the cause, has been confirmed to have been conquered.

But this chaos cannot be quelled in a day or two. It will take at least several years to gradually eliminate its impact and get the local ecology back on track.

There is still a lot for us to do, such as hunting monsters that attack human settlements, driving away abnormal migrating biological populations, repelling, and even conquering ancient dragons that cause environmental changes.

Top hunting groups like Silver Edge and Alcohol are a decisive force wherever they are placed. The Great Elder will not leave you idle in the New World.

The boat is ready. We will set off once the wounded have recovered. I will go with you."

Gordon scratched his chin, mumbling inwardly.

Just like in the Jieyun Land back then, the Thunder Wolf Dragon riot indirectly caused by the abnormal movement of the Storm Dragon took several years to gradually subside.

Given the current chaos in the Old World, it would be optimistic to say that it will take a few years to return to normal.

I just hope that nothing terrible will happen and make the situation worse.
"By the way, there is one more thing. You brought back forbidden materials this time, right?" Master Campbell suddenly said.

Feng Ying blinked, "How do you know?"

The master looked helplessly at the young girl who could be considered his disciple, and said, "You may have stayed there for too long and have adapted to it, so you don't really feel it.

The aura released by those forbidden materials is no weaker than that of many ancient dragons. I was once a hunter, so of course I can feel it."

"Ooh!"

"What are you going to do with these things? Make equipment?"

"Of course!" Gordon grinned. "No one has used materials of this level to create armor or weapons yet, right?"

"Indeed, there is none, at least not in the guild's records." The master craftsman sighed and said, "With the skills of the dragon craftsmen and the second-phase leader of the investigation team, there is no need to worry about the problem of not being able to forge equipment.

But have you ever thought about what would happen if you took these things to the Old World?"

Gordon and the others looked at each other.

They didn't think much about it before, but now that the master reminded them, they finally reacted.

Back then, just a little bit of the aura of the "Forbidden Skull" leaked from the ruins of ancient civilization made Lanlong extremely nervous, which triggered a series of events in the Jieyun Land.

They're going to take these things back.

I'm afraid that I'll cause chaos wherever I go.

"What should we do? We can't just throw them all away, right?" Feng Ying asked anxiously.

“The safest way is to seal it, just like the giant sword frozen in the cave in Pokai Village.

But that would be a bit of a waste. When we have to face some more terrifying existences, these weapons may become a trump card."

"A more terrifying existence?!"

The master was silent for a while. He did not hide anything, nor did he reveal too much.

“You have all known something before, that the guild has always been wary of a certain existence.

The Great Elder was anxious to call you back, in large part because he was worried that the guy would be affected by the aura of the Red Dragon and the Black Dragon and wake up from his slumber."

Gordon's eyes twitched violently.

He suddenly recalled the "nonsense" that the old man in Kokot Village muttered before he came to the New World.

Really?!
