Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1228 Cold Wave

It is a long journey from the Star Base to the Everfrost.

The journey of a large army is not as simple as described by Feng Ying and others: "It will take two or three days to get there by airship."

A large team of more than one hundred people, carrying a huge amount of supplies, boarded the ship from the port of the Star Base and set sail on several ocean-going ships.

They set out from the southern part of the New World and sailed westward along the coast of the New World. After more than a week of sailing, they arrived at the coastline in the northwest of the continent.

Unlike the warm and comfortable South China Sea, there are strong winds on the sea surface here all year round. It is winter now, and large pieces of floating ice are floating in some areas.

Thin floating ice is still no problem, and ocean-going ships can easily run over it.

But once you encounter an iceberg that is inconspicuous on the sea surface but a huge monster under the sea surface, if the fleet fails to avoid it in time, it is normal for it to hit the reef and sink.

Fortunately, there are sea people to help.

Under the order of the commander-in-chief, the sea hunters of Az's territory came to this sea area early and explored a relatively safe channel.

They took a small boat and led the way several miles ahead of the transport fleet.

Following the wake of these "sons of the sea", after several days of thrilling sailing, they finally approached the coast of the ice field.

However, they encountered the biggest trouble of this trip.

A big cold wave.

The sea surface dozens of miles away from the coastline of the permafrost was frozen hard by the sudden cold wave, and the sea vessels could not get close at all.

According to Az and others who dived into the sea to investigate, the ice layer that froze the offshore was several meters thick, and in some places it could even reach ten meters.

This matter has both good and bad sides.

The bad side is that there is no way to break the ice, and the sea vessels can't move forward at all.

The good side is that, let alone walking and driving, this ice surface is fine even if a few explosive hammer dragons run over it.

Therefore, the leader of the supply squad in charge decisively ordered the personnel to disembark, unload the goods and walk instead.

But then, they encountered new troubles.

There were too many goods, the ice surface was slippery and difficult to walk, and there was a lack of suitable transportation tools. If they only relied on people to pull and drag, they might not be able to transport all the goods for several weeks.

Just when everything was at a stalemate, the messenger who went to the Yuechen base to contact brought back good news.

After several hours of anxious waiting, a large number of sleds pulled by snow deer and Bobo appeared at the end of the ice.

With the help of these snow creatures and large sleds, land transportation became possible.

Although it was still impossible to take away all the goods at once, it would take some manpower to go back and forth several times and it would always be transported.

The fourth-term group was professional in this.

A furry figure jumped off the sled and ran towards Gordon and the others.

"Master Gordon! You are finally here!"

The person running over was Feng Ying, and her snow-white fur equipment made Hayata stunned.

Isn't this the snow mountain suit she often wore back then?

"Feng"

"Ah! Oh, I almost forgot this!"

An Xier was about to speak, Feng Ying, who remembered something, ran back to the sled and brought some clothes.

"This is a cold-proof cloak, put it on!" She stuffed an extra-large fur cloak into Gordon's arms, and then stuffed one for Hayata and the others, and also for Zhucho and the others.

The other people who came from Yuechen were also like this. The sled team brought a large number of cold-proof cloaks and distributed them to the newcomers.

Everyone from Xingchen had done their best to wear thick clothes, but it was still not warm enough in this icy and snowy land with a temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees.

These thick cloaks played a big role.

Feng Ying looked around and saw that there was no one around. She said slyly, "Don't tell anyone. The cloaks we brought are high-end products made of thick fur of ice jackals. They are warmer than other cloaks made of snow deer fur.

More importantly, they are waterproof. Snow will slide down on them and won't get wet.

If clothes or shoes get wet in this damn place, it will be fatal."

Gordon said, "I haven't seen this guy for a month or two. How come he has become so greasy?"

An Xier didn't have time to put on the cloak, and hurriedly asked, "How long will it take to get to the Yuechen base by these sleds? Are there warm houses in Yuechen?"

He himself was not so afraid of the cold. He was worried about his mother and Fufu.

It happened to be a cold wave. The temperature was lower than expected and the wind was stronger. Young people couldn't stand it, let alone the elderly and children.

Mrs. Sterling and Fufu were still on the boat. An Xier didn't dare to let them get off.

He already regretted it a little. Maybe he should have left them in Xingchen.

"Don't worry, the sled is fast. It will be there in less than an hour.

As for the house in Yuechen, hehe, don't worry, it will be warmer than you think!"

Feng Ying left half of her words intentionally, obviously keeping it a secret.

An Xier breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that Feng Ying would not talk nonsense. As long as Fu Fu and the others could live safely, he didn't care about the rest.

As for what Yuechen looked like, you will know when you see it with your own eyes.

Under the organization of the leader of the material class, important goods were quickly loaded onto the sled, and the remaining large quantities of materials were neatly stacked, leaving a few hunters to guard them and wait for subsequent transportation.

Fu Fu, who was wrapped into a fur ball by Gale, Mrs. Sterling, and some elderly scholars squeezed into a large sled padded with thick fur.

They will go to the Yuechen base first with the sled transport team.

As for the young and strong men like Gordon, they are not eligible to enjoy the warm sled. They have to walk to the base in the wind and snow.

Everyone has no objection.

All the members of the survey team who can come to the new world are not incapable of hardship, and those who are not in good physical condition will not be sent here to develop the ice field.

The Yuechen base is built in the snow forest not far from the coastline, and the straight-line distance from here is only about 20 kilometers.

According to Feng Ying and others, the terrain along the way is flat, but the snow is a bit thick.

This level of trekking is just a warm-up for the hunters, and even those civilian staff can walk down easily.

As the sun rises, the wind and snow stop temporarily.

The air is still bitingly cold, but there is no longer the feeling of the cold wind hitting the face and making it difficult to breathe.

About a hundred people formed a long team.

Everyone is full of curiosity about this new land, looking around along the way.

There is no need to worry about danger.

Even if Silver Edge is not counted, the number of elite hunters in this team must exceed 20.

Let alone a flying dragon or something to cause trouble, even an ancient dragon might be repelled on the spot.

Hayata tied her cloak tightly and pulled her hood down low, and the fur on the edge of the hood directly covered her entire face.

Feng Ying was surprised, "Ah? Sister Hayata, you are like this too, and so is Gene, who likes to cover his entire face with a hood."

Hayata smiled and said, "This way you can eat less wind and snow, and more importantly, it blocks the sunlight reflected from the snow.

Otherwise, if you walk in the snow for a long time on a sunny day, your eyesight will be damaged."

She also made it in the Flasian Snow Mountain back then, and the environment on the top of the snow mountain is not much better than here.

"No wonder there is this on the hat of this winter suit." Feng Ying looked up at the fur filter eye mask on her forehead, "I thought it was a face mask."

"Now that you know, why don't you pull the eye mask down quickly?" Gordon scolded.

"Oh oh!"

"By the way, Feng Ying, do you know where to find the Wind Drifting Dragon?" Hayata asked again.

"Yes, we need to go through the snow forest and go further north. There are many in the mountain valleys over there." Feng Ying muttered.

"The girl always wants to run over there. We don't dare to let her go. There are many dangerous monsters over there. I have also seen the footprints of Qilin.

Sister Hayata, do you also want to find the purple Wind Drifting Dragon?"

". No, I'm looking for other Wind Drifting Dragons."
