hunt and eat

"No, just check it out and move on." Guta rejected Nia's proposal and let out a sigh of relief.

"There is still quite a distance from Sky Mountain. If possible, I would like to camp in a place where I can see the appearance of Sky Mountain more clearly."

Guta retracted Taotie, who had returned to the shape of an ordinary sword, to his waist, and continued:

"Whether the crazy dragon monster will have other special symptoms at night is still a complete mystery. It's just a matter of observation."

……

After a brief inspection of the valley, the Canglanxing team calibrated their direction a little with the help of a simple compass, and then headed towards the depths of the forbidden area of ​​Sky Mountain again.

Along the way, they encountered some crazy monsters one after another, but most of them were weak, either seriously injured, or missing arms and legs, and they were cleared up without causing any trouble to them.

For the ancient pagoda, it is more energy-intensive to create [annihilation] fires that burn corpses than to fight them.

After crossing the outermost frosty forest for about five kilometers, a rocky plain with lush foliage, though not lush, appeared in front of everyone.

"Such a big piece of rock?" It was the first time Weiwei had seen this kind of rocky land similar to a plain, and she pulled the light red broken rock at her feet curiously, "It feels like a blood-stained place." Same."

"The elemental composition is indeed different from ordinary rocks." Withdrawing his perception from the rocks under his feet, a few blue lines gradually faded from the corners of Guta's tightly closed eyes.

Weiwei bit her thumb enviously, and said unwillingly: "It's so easy to use, your [God Spirit]."

For blacksmiths, this ability to inquire about the structure of objects and other information at will is simply the best gift from heaven, and it is the talent that everyone who is committed to making great achievements in forging dreams of.

"The gains from life and death must be used for the next time, and the price I paid is quite a lot." Guta "glanced" at Weiwei with a half-smile, and said: "Although there is no way to lend the ability of the ultimate level, but if you If I really want it, I can't help it."

"What way?" Weiwei was obviously a little moved, and unconsciously moved her head closer.

"Implant my cells in the body, or simply implant my memory, and 'make up' my body or personality to look like me, so that more or less similar abilities can be developed."

Seeing Guta's serious expression, Weiwei shuddered unconsciously, then crossed her arms and her head danced like a rattle.

"Then don't worry about what you have and what you don't have, and exercise your own [Red Lotus] true energy... If you develop it properly, you will get an extreme intention that suits your heart after entering the field of natural disasters."

Guta flicked Weiwei's forehead forcefully, and said calmly.

"I'm a half-baby, can I still become a legendary hunter?" Weiwei pointed at herself with some doubts.

"Since the birth of the Spiral Clan, there hasn't been one that hasn't even been hit by a natural disaster." Guta said with the corners of his mouth pulled, but his tone paused slightly.

Inexplicably flashed through his mind was the Spiral Clan in the shape of a stone man that had been transformed before Neva fought against Guta.

Although strictly speaking, it is a special creation of Neva's transformation, but it is also part of the spiral family in essence. I don't know if it is still alive after 50 years.

"Just sleep here for one night." Nia pointed to a semi-open-air grotto not far away formed by three groups of giant stones.

"I saw Sky Mountain. Although it's just an outline, the view here is quite wide."

In the distance, a huge "Pillar of Heaven" that goes straight into the clouds, with spiral-like twisted traces remaining on its surface can be vaguely seen... Some floating objects that look like meteorite belts can be faintly seen on the edge.

Due to some unknown reasons in Sky Mountain, many of the ores that make up the mountain have incredible suspension capabilities.This also somewhat explains why the mountain can still stabilize at such a height under such a strange shape.

Guta nodded slightly to express his understanding, then raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

"Such a keen perception, [Lu'er]."

Footsteps gradually sounded.

A young man wearing thin leather armor, revealing the solid muscles underneath, slowly walked out from behind a stone forest.

Guta noticed that there were quite a few obvious chilblains on the opponent's arms, which seemed to have been formed only recently.

Have you encountered any monsters with cold attributes?

In addition, the aura of the other party...for some reason, it made Guta feel extremely uncoordinated.

It was as if some kind of monster had been forcefully stuffed into the human body, there was an indescribable weirdness.

……

Chapter 44 【Fist wish】Oma and the swarming ancient individuals

"you are?"

Guta looked up and down at this strange hunter who suddenly appeared in front of them.

The equipment is very good, although it looks like an ordinary light armor, but the texture is very good, it can be seen that it is at least the material of a beast dragon monster above G rank, and the tanning process is very good, with a layer on the surface Shiny metallic sheen.

As for the weapon used by the opponent, it was a red spear made of unknown monster material, with a triangular-shaped tip, and some dazzling ring-shaped spots on the spear body.

"Haha, let me introduce myself." The young man brushed aside the dark blue hair in front of his forehead, and stretched out a hand.

"Sequence 18 of the ancient dragon regiment, [Fist Wish] Ouma... It's really a fate to meet you juniors in this ghost place."

"And you, [Lu'e] Guta, I have long heard that the rookie in the regiment is a great person, and now I see that it is true, this strength is really terrifying."

Facing this inexplicably enthusiastic guy, even Guta wouldn't be so cold-faced. He shook hands with him and said, "You're too good-for-nothing. We're still far behind."

Although he has never actually met the other party, Guta has heard rumors about this person to some extent.

Although the main weapon used is a spear, the long-cherished wish of this legendary hunter seems to be to become a strange man who fights purely with his body, just like Oliva. His favorite thing in his life is to fight from fist to flesh.

In addition, I don't know if it was Guta's illusion. When I shook hands with Ouma just now, I always felt that the other party's body temperature was a little scary.

To put it bluntly, the temperature is not what a living person should have.

"Mr. Wang Ma, have you been here for a long time?" Nia asked curiously, pointing to the slightly messy clothes on Wang Ma's body.

Nodding his head, Ouma said with a smile: "It's been about a month since I came here, and the supplies on my body are almost exhausted. Today, I wanted to call the support team to send some replacement props, but I never thought that I would encounter it. you."

While speaking, Ouma seemed to think of something, and rubbed his rough hands vigorously, as if to keep warm.

"It's still quite cold here at night, you have to keep warm."

Weiwei glanced at the other party's thin clothes, and then at the thick clothes of her group except for the ancient tower. She couldn't figure out whether Ouma was joking or said this seriously.

I always feel like a weird person.

But the legendary hunter, even if he is not seriously ill, he can't get enough of this strength.

"Let's get down to business." Guta "looked" at a temporary camp about [-] meters away in his perception, turned his head and said, "Mr. Wang Ma, have you checked the situation of Sky Mountain?"

"You can just call me Wang Ma, seniority doesn't matter in the ancient dragon regiment." Wang Ma laughed, and then his face gradually changed into a serious expression.

"I don't know how much you know about Sky Mountain, but what I have to tell you is that the situation here is far more serious than the outside rumors."

"So exaggerated?" Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on Wei Wei's shoulder, asked in surprise.

"It's definitely more exaggerated than you imagined." Taking his eyes away from the Elu cat, which is almost twice the size of the ordinary cat, Wang Ma said solemnly: "The area of ​​​​a hundred miles around Sky Mountain has been completely covered. The crazy dragon monsters are flooded, and there are countless extreme individuals fighting each other here every day, and from time to time, new crazy dragon monsters will come from the outer area, as if something is attracting them. .”

"Black Corrosion Dragon?" Mie Jin raised a small hand and expressed his guess.

"Maybe so..."

Ouma neither nodded nor shook his head, just sighed, and said: "During this time, I have seen no less than ten black eclipsed dragons, and even I am not sure about the strongest one among them." To be able to overcome, we can only observe from a distance.”

"Of course, if it's just these few black dragons, it's actually not too difficult to deal with. After all, among the people who came this time, there are also [Magic Equipment] of Sequence 9. Even if we can't find out why the black dragons rioted It is not a solution to remove these restless sources of infection first.”

"But the crux of the problem is that the abnormal situation near Sky Mountain, or the mad dragon virus spread by the black erosion dragon, has attracted those ancient monsters who have survived for an unknown number of years and whose lifespan is on the verge of limit!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ma showed a somewhat horrified and inexplicable expression on his face: "Although they do not belong to the ancient dragon species, each of those ancient monsters is undoubtedly a special species that has stepped into the realm of natural disasters and surpassed the limits of the original race. Individuals. But to be honest, reaching this point is almost the limit for them, and it is impossible to go any further, let alone obtain the terrifying lifespan of the ancient dragon species... until the appearance of the mad dragon virus."

Guta nodded and said: "The intelligence of monsters that can reach natural disasters is no less than that of humans. They do have the ability to recognize the effects of the mad dragon virus."

"But the mad dragon virus parasitizes the reproductive cells of the black dragon? Aren't they worried that they will be used as a breeding ground for black dragon larvae if they fail?" Nia looked at the ancient tower with some puzzlement.

"Reproductive cells? Oh, you guys have discovered this too..." Ouma smiled approvingly at a few people, and continued: "Those ancient monsters may or may not know the parasitic nature of the mad dragon virus, but None of this hinders their final choice."

"As I said before, many of them are already at the end of their lives, and even those with a relatively long lifespan have been stuck at their current level of strength for many years... for the breakthrough A glimmer of life, even the risk of death, can't stop them from pursuing them one after another."

Weiwei on the side scratched her head and said suddenly: "No, if it's just to infect the virus, those monsters don't need to go to Sky Mountain, right? Moreover, it is reasonable to say that they are at the level of natural disasters, so it is impossible to be attracted by the black erosion dragons who are not as powerful as them Bar?"

"That's the theory, but in fact, after being infected with the mad dragon virus, those ancients came to the Sky Mountain area almost without a trace. There may be some reasons we don't know..." Wang Ma was a little displeased. Said with too much certainty.

"The mad dragon virus, there is indeed a big secret hidden in it." Guta responded softly, and then asked Wang Ma: "You want to leave Sky Mountain for a while to replenish, Wang Ma?"

Before Ouma was surprised, Guta took the lead and said: "I 'saw' the bonfire and beacon smoke you set up one kilometer away, and there is still some distance between here and Sky Mountain. It's not for leaving, you can't show up In this position."

Wang Ma nodded slowly, and sighed sincerely: "It's just like the rumors, it's really scary... [Lu'e]."

……

Chapter 45 The upcoming hunting group

After briefing Guta and the others about the current situation of Sky Mountain, Ouma had the cheek to share a cup of Nia's carefully prepared dragon meat soup, and said goodbye to everyone with admiration.

He needed to hurry up and arrive at the contact point he had booked with the logistics staff. After all, the supplies and investigation equipment on his body had already been exhausted, and he needed to replenish them urgently.

As for whether he will be alone next time, no one can say for sure. Maybe the guild will send top hunters to support it considering the danger of Sky Mountain.

"By the way, do you feel that Ouma's aura gives people a strange feeling... Forget it, it's fine."

Guta said hesitantly, but saw that his companions cast doubtful glances one after another, so he didn't say anything more.

Maybe it's my own illusion.

The night fell quickly, and the Canglanxing team lay on the red stone plain blown by the evening wind, looking at the gorgeous starry sky above their heads that was as bright as the Milky Way, and no one spoke for a while.

The last time I admired the night sky so much was when I was in the Dede Desert... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that they haven't let their minds go so much for a long time.

"Can we become the same legendary hunter as Mr. Wang Ma in the future?" Suddenly, Jojo's voice came from the corner.

With a chuckle, because he was blind and couldn't appreciate the beauty of the starry sky, the already bored Guta suddenly became interested: "The future? Are you underestimating yourself, Qiao Qiao?"

"Not long after you came out of Dede Village, you have already possessed the strength of a G-level hunter. After the transformation ceremony of the Spiral Clan, your speed of becoming stronger will increase exponentially, and entering the field of natural disasters is only a matter of course. Things don’t have to wait until later.”

As Guta spoke, he turned his head and "looked" at the companions on both sides.

"And you, Miejue, Nia, Weiwei, your own potential has already surpassed 90.00% of the hunters, what is lacking now is nothing more than time honing and self-growth."

"But it's important to work hard, but it's not impossible to bypass... It's a predestined outcome for you to become legendary hunters."

"I'm not talking about things in the future, and I don't like to talk about those illusory assumptions, so everything I'm telling you now is the reality that will come soon."

Weiwei scratched her head uncomfortably, and said, "I always feel like you're drawing big cakes for us?"

"Then give me this piece of cake." Patting Weiwei's head angrily, Guta chuckled lightly and continued, "There is something I haven't told you all this time."

"What?" Nia looked at the ancient tower beside her with some doubts.

After careful consideration of the words, Guta said solemnly: "After the investigation of this mad dragon disaster is clear, I will almost start to form a hunting group, and some friends from the past may also join... Anyway, I have already submitted the relevant application up."

Nia was stunned, then lowered her head and said, "We won't be a team of four from now on."

Guta shook his head helplessly, and comforted him: "It will happen sooner or later. We can't just act as a small team forever. After the hunting group is established, you will all be veterans. You can choose whatever position you want."

"Then I want to be the head of the regiment!" Weiwei raised her hand as if watching the excitement.

"I forgot to explain that the leader of the new hunting group needs to have the strength to defeat all the remaining cadres at the same time. If you are willing to try, I will not stop you."

Guta glared at Weiwei viciously, looking malicious.

Seeing this posture, Weiwei immediately became timid, and said resentfully: "Ahem, actually, when you think about it carefully, being the head of the regiment is really tiring. I don't want to be busy with it every day."

"How about... How about the chief of the war? I heard that Uncle Silbaz was the chief of the war of the Venus Star Hunting Group before. He is almost the second-in-command position. The most important thing is that this position sounds handsome."

"Chief of War..." Guta said with some nostalgia, and tilted his head unconsciously, "But it still doesn't work."

Weiwei muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why?"

After thinking for a while, Guta sat up and teased: "Although the chief of the war sounds like the job of leading the regiment members to fight, in fact, it is more inclined to logistics management, such as finance, supply transportation, etc., than direct combat. That’s the main responsibility of the Chief of War.”

"Of course, Silbaz's situation is a bit more special. He is a rare special talent who possesses logistical talents and strong combat capabilities. When Tagul met him for the first time, he almost didn't even fight. "

"Then...Uncle Silbaz and Uncle Saga, will they join the newly formed hunting group?" Mie Jue suddenly asked in a low voice.

This question made Taguer stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think so."

"After all, I am not Tagul. Even though I have inherited the memories of him and Neva, they are essentially two people. To me, they are more former friends than subordinates."

"And Saga already has his own hunting group, so it's impossible to disband and join us... As for Silbaz, it's always been his dream to open his own restaurant, and I don't want to bother him anymore."

Everyone nodded in understanding, but unconsciously felt a burst of regret.

Whether it is the current chief [Fudoqing] Saga of the ancient dragon group, or the Sequence 50 [Destroyer] Saga from 3 years ago, they are all out-and-out peak combat power. If they can join, one person can Worth a dozen legendary hunters.

"You don't seem to have mentioned another person?" At this moment, Nia suddenly said.

Guta was silent for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, after all, you have always been somewhat resistant to Bo Duoerduo, and I am still hesitating how to tell you."

"That pervert wants to join us too?!" Weiwei almost jumped anxiously.

Mie Jue and Qiao Qiao also looked at Guta with some embarrassment.
