Chapter 1250 Bad News From the Stars

The mission of contacting the beast tribe was completed smoothly.

Not only did they establish communication and gain the friendship of the beast tribe, but Gordon and his team also received some "rescue smoke" as gifts.

These black blocks were made of something unknown, and they had a foul smell.

After smelling them carefully, Pig Chop said that in addition to the pine resin and sulfur of cedar, there seemed to be ice jackal feces.

Gordon had the urge to throw it away at the time, but he finally kept it.

To put it bluntly, this thing is the "flare" of the beast tribe. As long as it is ignited, a conspicuous column of smoke will rise.

When the beast tribe nearby sees it, they will immediately come to help.

Although, for the monsters that Gordon and his team find difficult, it is likely to be useless even if the beast tribe is called.

But this symbolizes the "friendship of the beast tribe" after all. They all like these cute and powerful little guys very much, so they are naturally reluctant to throw them away.

In addition to the frowning "rescue smoke", Pig Chop also has some new gains.

The Beast Clan taught it how to call the Ice Jackals, make friends with them, and even ride on them.

Pork Chop hasn't really tried it yet, but plans to try it in the Snow Forest when he's free. It should be similar to the way the Insect Cage Clan in the Ancient Tree Forest manipulate the Thief Dragon?

If it works, it will be convenient to move in the snow in the future.

However, is there really an Ice Jackal that can carry Gordon?

Unlike Gordon and his three companions who returned to the Moon Star Base in high spirits and with rosy faces, Hayata and his companions, who returned a day later than them, all had pale faces.

They were tired and even cold.

The first thing they did after returning to the Moon Star Base was to go to Grandma Cat's place to eat a real hot meal, and then go into the hot spring pool for a good soak.

Finally, the cold that penetrated into the bone marrow was pulled out.

The two groups met in the hot spring tavern, which had just been capped and had not even had time to install the doors and windows, and exchanged their experiences.

Gordon also showed them a group photo with the Beast Clan and the roasted icefish dragon meat that was bigger than the table.

Even the good-tempered Hayata couldn't help it and rolled her eyes at Gordon several times.

In any case, the three key tasks sorted out by the Ecological Research Institute have been successfully completed, and they should be able to have a few days of leisure before new tasks come down.

Although Master Yuanye is old, he is a person who can't sit still, and so is Ai Bo.

The two of them plunged into the pile of information at the Ecological Research Institute, trying to find some clues about the "special stone".

Hayata plans to return to the Xingchen base.

The Fengpiaolong gem has been sent to the processing house as soon as possible along with other materials. With the superb craftsmanship of the second-phase group leader, the highest quality ice-resistant protective stone will be made soon.

After getting the protective stone, she will take the nearest airship back to Xingchen, and then she can pick up her baby daughter.

After studying the hunters' reports in depth, the scholars of Yuechen Ecological Research Institute named the two special individual monsters encountered by Hayata and others as "Frost Wing Wind Drifting Dragon" and "Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon".

Frost Wing is almost turning into a protective stone, let's not talk about it for now.

However, the scholars led by the leader of the third-term group showed great interest in the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon that possesses super-standard frost energy.

There are also Ice Fang Dragons distributed in the Old World, but similar individuals have never appeared.

What is the reason for this is worth exploring.

So, they issued an investigation task and recruited senior hunters for further investigation.

The person who accepted the task was Gene. He was born in the snowy mountain area of ​​Vlassia and had many experiences in hunting Ice Fang Dragons. He was the most suitable candidate in the eyes of scholars.

After hearing about this, Feng Ying shook her head and said that it was over.

The leader of the third-term group and others were afraid that they could only analyze the reason for the mutation of the old guy from the materials.

Two days later, Hayata finally got the ice-resistant stone that she had been thinking about for a long time.

It happened that on this day, the airship that traveled between the two bases arrived at Yuechen, but this time, along with the airship, there was also a message from Xingchen.

Bad news.

The headquarters of Yuechen Base was an open space with only a table.

When the wind blew, the map files flew all over the sky.

Now they finally set up a huge tent. Although it still looks shabby, at least it is not open to the sky and there is a stove for heating.

Gordon thought it was good, and there was no need to build any buildings. Just leave it like this.

"Everyone is here, I won't say any more nonsense. Xingchen Base sent a call-up order. There was an abnormal monster disturbance there, and even many subspecies of monsters that had never been discovered appeared.

Xingchen is currently short of manpower and needs to mobilize some hunters to go back to help." Gordon said straight to the point.

"What about the investigation of the Everfrost Permafrost?" The leader of the third phase raised his hand and asked.

"Not all the personnel will be transferred. The investigation operations with low priority will be suspended."

The leader of the third phase group nodded slightly, "I understand."

"How many personnel need to be transferred back? I need to adjust the arrangements for various aspects of the work." The leader of the logistics squad also hurriedly asked questions.

"The commander-in-chief means that as many as possible will be transferred without affecting the basic operation of the Yuechen base."

The leader of the logistics squad scratched his dreadlocks hard, grabbed a piece of paper, wrote and drew, and calculated, and then said:

"There are currently seven upper hunters and twenty-five elite hunters of three to five stars in the Yuechen base.

If we suspend the exploration of high-risk areas, most of the top hunters can be transferred back. First of all, Gordon, you have to stay. After all, you are the person in charge of Yuechen! "

"Okay, I'll stay."

"In addition to you staying in Yuechen, at least one top hunter is needed as a mobile force that can be dispatched. The other top hunters can be temporarily transferred back to Xingchen."

Gordon thought for a while, "Gene set off yesterday to the Frozen Canyon to perform the task of hunting and investigating the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon. It's too troublesome to send someone to call him back. Let him and I stay in Yuechen."

"Of course, for the rest of the elite hunters, at least half of them should be left behind. Food, furs, collection of various building materials, and escort personnel for the transport team are the minimum requirements."

"Well, then leave three teams behind, and the rest of the people will return to the Xingchen base with the five top hunters. "Gordon nodded and made a decision.

It's not a business transaction, so there's no need to bargain.

"Of course, there are also editors. At the moment when Yuechen has suspended various investigations, most editors can return to Xingchen to help." Gordon added.

"I'll arrange the list." Alva nodded with a tangled look on his face.

Should I go back to Xingchen? Or stay in Yuechen? Staying here is more free, but the investigation activities have been suspended and there is nothing to do. Many subspecies monsters have appeared in the New World?

Sure enough! I'd better go back!

"By the way, there's one more thing." Gordon looked at the leader of the supply team again, "During this period, the construction of the Yuechen base can also be suspended, and the work center can be shifted to food acquisition and storage."

"Ah? Why?"

Gordon shook the letter paper in his hand, "The New World has experienced an abnormal drop in temperature, and the Xingchen base has also been affected.

The monster riots and the poor harvest of the Plant Growth Research Institute have caused the food reserves of the Xingchen base to decline at an unsettling rate. "

The leader of the supply team and the person in charge of the supply station were a little panicked after hearing this, and they ran around the table.

After taking the letter and glancing at it, the leader of the supply team suddenly burst into a scream, "The food reserves of Xingchen Base have dropped to 60%? ! What a joke! It's only been a short time!

No! I have to go back and take a look! Yuechen also has to find a way to support some supplies.

Tomorrow, everyone go hunting for Bobo!"
