Chapter 1182 The Strong Team Is Missing One!
Living underground as a cave dweller is just a joke.
But as Gordon Ansell and his team expected, the possibility of ancient civilization ruins in the golden land of the earth veins immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the hunters of the investigation team.
After listening to Gordon's suggestion, the commander-in-chief set a registration limit of four teams, that is, a total of 16 hunters.
If you fail to sign up, you must wait for the next batch.
When it comes to treasure hunting, everyone naturally thinks that the first batch of people will definitely eat the most and earn the most.
Before the task form was delivered to the poster girl, someone was already squatting in front of the task counter waiting.
In order to avoid conflicts and contradictions due to scrambling for quotas, Gordon took the lead and called all hunters who were interested in participating to the gathering place.
A rough count of the number of people is nearly 40, and if you count the hunters who are on missions outside and have not returned yet, that's basically all the members.
Gordon's method is also very simple. Let the hunters form a full team of four, and then the captains of each team will draw lots to determine the number of places.
Open and transparent, no one has any objections.
So, the hunters started to form teams in a mess.
An Xier came to Gordon as soon as possible, hoping that Gordon would join their gold-edged team. In this way, the four silver-edged teams would become three, and with Gordon, the captain of the silver-edged team, there would be no problem changing the "gold-edged" team back to "silver-edged".
More importantly, if Gordon joins, one with two can become two with two.
Fearing Gordon's fist, Feng Ying's brain will work better.
Unfortunately, Gordon refused.
The reason is very simple. He has no interest in ancient ruins, treasure hunting, and other things for the time being, and the Star Stronghold always needs a few powerful hunters to stay.
He decided to stay at home.
Anxiel couldn't do anything to him, but he also understood his thoughts and feelings, so he had to give up.
In this case, the Golden Edge Team needs to recruit another swordsman, otherwise the configuration of one vanguard and three archers is too extreme.
If the recruitment targets are limited to upper hunters, there are actually very few candidates for them to choose from.
Evelyn Feddy and her husband basically act together as a pair, so it is impossible to recruit only one of them, unless one of the current three is kicked out.
Kick out Feng Ying?
Anxiel stared at Feng Ying for two seconds, and the latter was confused.
So he retracted his gaze. Although the team was perfect, Feng Ying might cry on the spot, and the scene was not very good, so forget it.
The remaining choices were only Az, Aiden and Gene.
In fact, Anxiel really wanted to recruit Az. When it was not about "fishing", Az was a calm and reliable upper spear user.
Unfortunately,
He didn't come to the gathering at all. As for the reason?
Are there fish in the golden land of the earth vein? No? Then forget it!
As for Aiden and Gene.
These two guys are all-rounders. Aiden is best at one-handed sword and heavy crossbow, while Gene can use everything except the two transformable weapons, shield axe and slashing axe, and his level is quite good.
It doesn't matter who they recruit, but they have formed a "gold is mine!" two-man team. They are probably looking for new members now, so they have to hurry up.
"Feng Ying, grab anyone from Gene and Aiden, either one will do, and be quick." An Xier said to Feng Ying.
"Okay!"
Feng Ying was about to run to call for help, but Gael shook his palms and signaled to wait.
Then he shouted at the top of his voice, "Gene Aiden! Our team is strong, has a lot of intelligence, and can find the strange-faced tribe as a guide. We are still short of one person. Who of you will come?"
"I'll come! Big sister Gael counts me in!" Gene immediately left Aiden and ran over.
Aiden was stunned, and he still hadn't reacted. Liyang (the competitive sister) rolled her eyes and pulled him to join the alcohol team temporarily.
"The gold belongs to me!" The team fell apart.
After some time, the hunters finally formed a team. In addition to Gordon, there were exactly nine teams.
Gordon arranged for each team to send people to draw lots. The Phnom Penh team sent a new member, Gene, who occasionally had a burst of luck.
Sure enough, he won the lottery.
The four teams that won the lottery were overjoyed, and the rest of the people went to drink dejectedly. Fortunately, they still have a chance in the future.
Anxier led the "New Phnom Penh Team" to the restaurant Maoshan Pavilion. In addition to Gene, there was another person joining the team.
Alva smiled and greeted the hunters and Apo.
"Mr. Alva, are you going underground with us?" Apo asked in surprise.
In a way, Alva can be regarded as the common teacher of the editors of the fifth group. He taught many skills to the young editors who lacked field practice experience.
"Yes, if I don't participate in the opportunity to discover and explore the ruins of ancient civilizations, my teacher will write a letter to scold me to death." Alva pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Gordon said he didn't want to go no matter what, so I had to join your team."
Anxiel welcomed Alva's joining.
Ai Bo is an excellent young man with strong professional skills, but he lacks experience after all, and sometimes he behaves more recklessly than Feng Ying for no reason, and he is not a mature brain.
Alva is different.
This guy is a senior member of the book team. Although he sometimes forgets himself because of studying roadside creatures, he is still very reliable when acting in a group.
What's more, under the guidance of that professor, he also has quite in-depth research on the history and writing of ancient civilizations.
This skill is not possessed by most compilers.
In addition, he, who has rich experience in ruins exploration, provided many key suggestions for everyone.
For example, you must carry portable lamps for lighting.
Although the insect cage can provide the most basic lighting, that level of light is not enough in the dark environment of the huge space.
In addition, he suggested that hunters use "blunt weapons".
On the one hand, the Xuanhuilong is wrapped in a thick golden shell, and hitting may be more effective than slashing and shooting. On the other hand, blunt weapons are also very practical in ruins exploration.
Sometimes when you encounter a dead end, smashing the wall is also an option.
After listening to this suggestion, Gene decisively replaced the most commonly used sword with a sledgehammer.
He hunted a blasting hammer dragon a while ago and made a sledgehammer with the latter's big chin. He was thinking that he would not have the opportunity to use it, but he used it now.
The other people also carried out a series of preparations around the two goals of "fighting Xuanhuilong" and "staying underground for a long time".
High-temperature resistant protective stones and decorative beads, a large amount of dry food and drinks that are easy to store, as well as targeted weapons and ammunition.
At present, the information about Xuanhuilong is extremely limited, and the battle information is blank.
After weighing the pros and cons, Anxier chose the most versatile Lanlong heavy crossbow, the fierce moment [Time Rain], and the ammunition was mainly universal penetrating bullets and level 3 normal bullets.
Gail seemed much more radical. She firmly believed that since Xuanhuilong could use high-temperature breath to melt gold and iron, it must not be afraid of flames and high temperatures.
In contrast, water flow and frost must be its weakness!
Although Anxier and Alva both thought this statement was nonsense, she still insisted on bringing her mud fish dragon assault crossbow and a lot of water-cooled bullets.
Oh, there is also a large kitchen knife made of a variety of high-quality minerals such as scarlet iris stone and cloud dove stone, and decorated with brass and jewels, with a gorgeous and extremely sharp shape.
This is the gift that Gail prepared for Gaba.
