Chapter 289: Air Visitors

Joan's 1st-level spell slot has also been exhausted in the high-intensity battle.

Thanks to his higher intelligence attribute, he has one more 2nd-level spell slot than Thomas, but all the 2nd-level spell slots are used to prepare "invisibility", which is more than enough for self-protection, but it cannot deal with wild boars.

Qiao An still has 5 "mythic powers" available today, and "God's Tears" has 10 "mythical energy", which can replace spell slots when necessary.

However, the use of these mythical abilities may arouse the suspicion of the companions.

Joan didn't want to deceive his companions, but also had to keep a secret, so he tried not to use the power of myth for this reason.

In the ensuing battle, he could only rely more on the various magic tools he carried with him, as well as the 0-ring tricks with no spell limit.

After consuming so many magic resources, what he got in return was a generous return.

While the Tyndale brothers were resting, Joan and Thomas worked together to clean up the battlefield, harvest the wild boar tails, and lay down the "Secret Mark" by the way.

Finally, the trophies were counted, and a total of 21 wild boars were hunted and killed. Including two dire boars and one razor boar, for a total of 38 hunting points.

Now, the total points of their hunting team reached 141, a big step closer to the 200 mark.

After resting for half an hour, everyone continued to get up and drive, and went deep into the foothills of Razor Mountain along the gradually rising river beach.

On the way, we encountered another wave of wild boars. Fortunately, there were only five of them, and they were all ordinary wild boars.

Roger, who was dressed in plate armor, leaned against the rock alone, holding up the tower shield to resist the siege of wild boars, like an invulnerable human-shaped fortress.

Joann, Thomas, and Roger all climbed into the trees and used "freeze rays" or shotguns from above to shoot down the wild boars that surrounded Dick.

The battle lasted less than five minutes, and everyone killed all five wild boars, and the total number of hunting points increased to 146.

When the encounter ended, it was nearly noon.

Joan and his party cleared an open space in the bushy valley, lit a campfire and sat around for a meal.

Just halfway through lunch, the hounds started barking one after another.

At first, Joan and the others thought that there were wild boars coming to harass them, so they quickly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.

However, the surrounding area was quiet, and there was no sign of wild boars, and the hounds also looked abnormal, all raising their heads and roaring towards the sky endlessly.

Everyone looked up at the sky inexplicably, but except for Qiao An, everyone was stunned on the spot!

Under the clear sky, a huge brown balloon was floating a hundred feet high.

A white sail is propped up above the balloon, and a gondola hangs below it, and a figure can be vaguely seen shaking in the gondola.

"This is really... amazing!" Thomas muttered to himself, "If we had known that there was such an aircraft, we wouldn't have to spend time and energy traveling in the jungle these days, but would fly directly to the area where wild boars live in balloons. Couldn't be more convenient!"

"That's right, smart people are disgusting!" Dick's face was full of resentment, "The group on the balloon basket must be extremely efficient in hunting, and they must win the gold medal in this year's hunting competition."

"That's not likely." A smile appeared on the corner of Joan's lips. "As far as I know, the three people on the balloon did not sign up for the hunting competition. They are reporters appointed by the newspaper to report on the competition."

"Reporter...could it be Sister Miao and the others?" Roger asked curiously.

Joan nodded.

"Sister Meow once said that she wanted to track down and interview the hunting team that was expected to win the medal. I wondered how she would look for the hunters scattered in the dense forest."

"Now it seems that Sister Meow and the others are already prepared - sitting in the balloon basket, with the help of a high-powered telescope, you can have a panoramic view of the entire island, and the sound of gunfire and fighting from the ground can also be clearly heard."

"So this is ah……"

Thomas nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly became excited.

"Joan, since Sister Meow and the others can see the overall situation of Wild Boar Island, they must already know the current achievements of each hunting team. Can you try to get in touch with her and find out how our hunting points rank among all participating teams? Where is it ranked?"

"Let me try it."

Joan also had the same plan, so he took out a small piece of luminous moss from the spell-casting material bag, and cast "Light Art" to create a ball of magic light.

Joan held the ball of light in his palm and shook it repeatedly towards the light balloon hanging in mid-air, hoping that Xiao Miao, Ah Zhi and Teacher Benny would notice the signal he sent.

Two minutes later, the light balloon in the air turned its sails, turned around and floated towards Joan and the others.

A vague figure stood up from the hanging basket, holding a mirror in his hand, and shone toward Joan. The mirror reflected the sunlight and shone brightly.

Seeing the mirror reflection from the sky, Qiao An immediately realized that it was Xiao Miao and the others who were sending a signal to him, and a stone fell from his heart.

Thomas and the Tyndall brothers looked up, staring at the light balloon floating overhead, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

After another fifteen minutes, the balloon finally floated directly above Joan and his party, lowered the sail, hovered at a height of 100 feet, and rotated slowly.

The agile Catwoman Ranger threw a bundle of cables from the hanging basket, quickly dropped down along the cables, and landed lightly.

"Hi, Joan, is the hunt going well?"

Xiao Miao smiled and wagged her tail, and came over to say hello.

"Fortunately, sister Miao, we have already obtained 146 hunting points. Where does this score rank among all hunting teams?"

Joan asked straight to the point.

"Very good results, if you work harder, you will be in the top three." Xiao Miao encouraged with a smile.

"Huh? Can't make it into the top three with 146 points?" Dick was disappointed, "I thought I was sure to win the medal."

"Sister Meow, which teams currently have higher points than us?" Thomas asked unconvinced.

"As far as I know, as of today, there are no fewer than four hunting teams with points over 150, including the champion and runner-up teams of the last competition, but the scores of these two teams are just over 150, which is comparable to your results. In addition, there are two newly promoted teams whose results are even better than those two old strong teams, and you should know each other."

A narrow look flashed in Xiaomiao's eyes, and she deliberately stopped to whet her appetite.

"Sister Meow, who are those two teams?" Roger asked eagerly.

"The hunting team with the best results so far is the hunting team composed of Major George Vassar, the Custis sisters and Mr. Philip Downs. When interviewed by us this morning, their hunting points have reached 202 points."

"Secondly there is a team of Edward Gates, Martin Smith and two sharpshooters. Two hours ago, we interviewed them in a nearby valley. If Edward Gates is not bragging, they have scored 177 points."

Having said that, Xiao Miao made a supplementary explanation with a rigorous attitude.

"It should be noted that the teams we interviewed only accounted for a small part of all the contestants. It is not certain that there may be other teams that have achieved higher scores in areas that we have not paid attention to."

"So, lads, if you really want to compete for medals, you've got to work harder!"

The update in June still guarantees four chapters every day

If I have spare capacity, I will try my best to make five changes!
