MTL - Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter-Chapter 684 A sense of danger of unknown origin
Chapter 684 A sense of danger from unknown sources
The little alchemist gave another two days.
Gordon could see that the little fat man was very cautious this time. It would not take so long to smelt the protective stone with ancient alchemy. At that time, it took more than an hour to smelt Nadia's protective stone.
Maybe the king-level protective stone itself and the materials for strengthening are more precious, so I want to prepare it well.
With the mental state that he can fall asleep while standing up, he performs the difficult ancient alchemy, and failure is almost certain.
As the fourteenth generation of the Maca Alchemy House, you can't be so irresponsible!
So, Gordon and the others returned to the Isana.
They have visited this small hilltop village a long time ago, and now if they want to continue killing time, they can only maintain equipment over and over again, or read books or something.
On the deck, Gordon, who was wiping 【He Yao】bit by bit, sighed helplessly.
The trip to Sinard Village this time was really disappointing. If it wasn't for the little fat man in the alchemy house who brought them a little harvest, this trip would really be considered pure tourism.
Hayata on the side was carefully grinding the blade with a whetstone, took out a cotton cloth, dipped it in anti-rust knife oil, and applied it carefully. After completing the maintenance of a Taidao, Hayata smiled and said: "Spend a peaceful time. Isn't it good for a week?"
"It's so peaceful!" Feng Ying threw aside the monster illustrated book that she was about to rummage through, and muttered while hugging her knees, "I thought this journey would be more exciting."
Anxier, who came over, stuffed another tome into Fengying's arms, "You have said this sentence, so if there is no accident, there will be an accident."
"Haha! Superstitious!"
The next day, the elders of the village visited the Isana and found the head of the brigade.
Anshir glanced at Fengying who was full of question marks, and laughed.
Sure enough, after the two old men exchanged a few words, the head of the brigade waved their hunters over.
The elder seemed a little anxious, impatient, he didn't wait for the group leader to speak, and said first: "Everyone, I have something urgent to ask for your help.
There is a villager in our village who set off to collect herbs the day before yesterday. It is reasonable to say that he should have returned before sunset the day before yesterday. However, he didn’t return all night, and there was no news at all yesterday. His wife was very worried and found us.
That is an experienced herb picker. It is reasonable to say that he would not go to any dangerous areas. We are worried that he has been attacked by monsters. We would like to ask everyone to help investigate and rescue him. "
There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing, Gordon nodded, everyone in the hunting group quickly finished dressing, brought basic hunting props, and set off in a hurry.
The sky mountain is steep, with many places going straight up and down. The rocky peaks of the mountain are entangled with countless thick vines, and there are a lot of ruins interspersed with them, layered on top of each other. It is easy for outsiders to get lost.
Gordon has been here once, and he still has a little impression, but he is definitely not familiar with it. Fortunately, there is a detailed map provided by the elders.
After leaving the village for a certain distance, Gordon made a gesture, and the running team stopped, and everyone surrounded him.
"Take a fork in the road, and investigate separately. After finding the rescue target, fire a signal flare. If you encounter a large monster, try not to conflict. If a battle must break out, also fire a signal flare."
Glanced at his companions to make sure everyone heard clearly, Gordon took out the map and unfolded it, "According to the elders, the rescue target should not be too far away.
Anshir is in charge of the sixth and seventh regions in the northwest, Hayata is in charge of the mountain, that is, the fourth and eighth regions, Fengying is in charge of the first and third regions near the camp, and I am in charge of the second and fifth regions. "
Everyone carefully confirmed the area they were responsible for investigating, keeping the contents on the map firmly in their hearts.
After more than a minute, Gordon put away the map, "The forbidden area is in the southwest direction, and approaching is prohibited. If there is a reason to approach that side, remember to fire the signal flare in advance."
Gordon said this while staring at Fengying.
"." Fengying's flat mouth.
Having said that, the area Master Gordon is in charge of is to the southwest, which happens to be between the area he is responsible for and the restricted area. Don’t say that he didn’t want to do anything, even if he wanted to do something, he would be caught by Master Gordon.
Thinking of this, Fengying's face twitched like a steamed bun, so why don't she trust herself so much?
Gordon squeezed Fengying's cheeks, and continued to remind his companions, "The geology of Sky Mountain is very unstable. Many rock peaks are bound by vines, or even suspended, and may collapse at any time. Pay attention to the feet and the top of the head, and start separately. "
The hunters dispersed and explored their respective areas of responsibility.
Gordon is not worried about the safety of his companions, even Fengying, who is the weakest in the team, is a five-star hunter.
At this level, there are not many monsters that can really pose a fatal threat to it, not to mention the tooth hound Kohaber, even if it comes from a "regional overlord" like the Tyrannosaurus rex, she can at least run away.
One person and one cat walked among the jagged rocks.
"Not quite right meow." Pig Chop, who was running on all fours beside Gordon, suddenly raised his body, "It's not the smell meow, but, but"
"Some kind of indeterminate sense of danger, right?" Gordon slowed down and looked to the southwest direction vaguely.
"Gordon feels meow too?"
"Um."
Gordon pulled down his helmet, "I don't have a clear sense of direction, nor the feeling of being watched. I just feel that I am in danger, but I can't tell where the danger comes from."
"Gordon suspects that it's the cause of the restricted area, meow?"
"It's possible. After all, our side is the closest to the restricted area. I'll ask Hayata and the others later if they have similar feelings."
Neither Gordon nor Pork Chop had the idea of continuing to get closer to the forbidden ground to find out.
Further investigation may be necessary, but not yet.
The only goal right now is to rescue the missing villagers, check the restricted areas and other things. We can wait to report to the elders and monks and see their decisions.
After confirming his current location according to the surrounding terrain, Gordon prepared to continue searching for traces of the missing person with the pork chops.
At this moment, a signal flare rose in the air two or three kilometers away in a straight line.
Gordon and Pig Chop looked at each other, "It's Fengying's side, let's go!"
"What's going on?" Anshir turned over and jumped off Gale's saddle.
He was the first to arrive, and the speed of riding on a tooth hound was several times that of running on foot.
"Shh!" Feng Ying put her finger up in front of her mouth, signaling Anshir to keep her voice low, and then made several gestures to the latter.
Anshir nodded, quietly walked around the rock wall where Fengying was hiding, and looked in the direction indicated by Fengying.
In front is a hunter camp built among the ruins of the 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 are difficult to enter.
A huge orangutan with pink fur is roaring and wandering here, and from time to time, it rushes madly into the narrow pass that it can't pass through. It looks very violent, but not very smart.
Peach Hair Beastmaster?
"Amber told me that the smell of someone in the camp, the missing person should be hiding in the camp." Feng Ying whispered.
Anshir narrowed his eyes slightly.
This lingering sense of threat envelops my heart.
No wonder Fengying chose to wait for support, instead of rushing up and hacking directly after sending out the signal.
Is that really just a peach-haired beast king? !
