Chapter 653: Escape
After entering the hunter camp, Gordon and his friends stopped giving Feng Ying any advice or tips. Anshil even pretended not to see her.
Feng Ying puffed her lips and began to think about the problem from the perspective of "hunting alone".
She was promoted to five stars by hunting horned dragons. She was no longer the beginner who had to rely on others for everything. Compared with Gordon and his friends, she might be a little bit of a novice, but in the eyes of other hunters, she was definitely an elite.
Hunting armored dragons alone should be within the ability.
Because it took a lot of time on the road, it was already afternoon.
Although there was no sunlight inside the volcanic cave, day and night had lost their meaning, and it didn't make much difference when to start hunting.
But the biological clock would still affect the hunter's state.
Therefore, Feng Ying thought about it and decided to officially start hunting the next day.
As for the remaining hours today, she planned to ride Amber to scout the hunting ground environment. If she could confirm the location of the target in advance, it would be even better.
Feng Ying's choice made Gordon very happy.
On the first day of the hunting ground, he would scout the environment, rest and adjust, and then start hunting on the second day to ensure his best condition. This was a habit that he personally highly respected.
I don’t know when, his mentality changed from “let that guy suffer a little loss and learn a lesson” to “see how far that kid can go”.
In other words, now not only Feng Ying, but also Gordon regarded this mission as a test, a comprehensive test of the former’s hunting skills.
Just as An Xier said when he fooled Feng Ying
As for the threat of giant bees and red armored beasts, it can be regarded as a more difficult additional question in the trial.
“Pa pa pa pa pa!”
A burst of rapid applause startled Feng Ying from the bed. She looked around blankly, and then saw An Xier’s face with a smile that deserved a beating.
“An Xier!!”
“You’re welcome.” An Xier, who woke Feng Ying up, turned around and left with a refreshed face.
Beside the campfire, Hayata, who was cooking breakfast, looked helplessly in the direction of the tent.
Like most hunters, Feng Ying's work and rest schedule is very regular. She wakes up at six o'clock every day. The inertia of her biological clock can even be accurate to the minute, so there is no need to wake her up.
An Xier's behavior of waking Feng Ying ten minutes early is completely bullying. Even if there is only a few minutes of sleep time difference, the feeling of being woken up and waking up naturally is completely different.
"That guy is very vengeful." Gordon, who was sitting aside and drinking the food porridge he brought with him, glanced at the tent and whispered.
"Devil meow"
An Xier, with a pleasant smile on his face, came to sit down by the campfire, took a bowl of porridge handed by Hayata, which he usually didn't like to drink, and enjoyed it with relish.
Regarding Feng Ying's hunting mission this time, if Hayata's attitude is worrying and Gordon's attitude is looking forward to it, then An Xier is just watching the show.
Feng Ying walked out of the tent with a simple high ponytail without much effort. She came over angrily and kicked An Xier, then ran to the side to eat the food she brought with her.
She knew that if she came to eat breakfast, she would be ridiculed by An Xier. After all, no one would make breakfast for you when you are "hunting alone".
Hayata wanted to persuade her, but seeing Feng Ying finish the food she brought with her in a few bites and then run to equip her armor, she had to give the remaining portion in the pot to Gordon.
Gordon accepted everyone who came, and after finishing the remaining food and simply cleaning up the camp, the group began to dress.
When everyone was ready, Feng Ying turned over and rode on Amber, and was the first to leave the camp gate and officially started her own hunt.
During the reconnaissance yesterday afternoon, she found traces of the activities of the armored dragon near an exposed ore deposit not far from the mine.
She planned to start from there and track it.
Gordon and the other two followed Feng Ying a hundred or two hundred meters behind her.
An Xier, riding on Liefeng's back, slowly loaded the penetrating bullets into the magazine one by one, and then loaded the magazine into the heavy crossbow to complete the loading.
He said he didn't intend to help Feng Ying, but if Feng Ying really had an accident, he, as a shooter, was the only one who could provide fire support and cover in the first time.
Tens of minutes later, the hunters entered the target cave one after another.
At Feng Ying's urging, Amber trotted to a trace, which was a large piece of chopped flaky rock.
Feng Ying jumped off the saddle, told her fang hound partner to be alert, and then carefully checked the trace.
"The trace is very fresh. There was no trace when I came here yesterday afternoon. It seems that guy just came here a few hours ago. Was he looking for food?" Feng Ying whispered to herself.
After focusing on checking the scattered stone pieces and scratches on the ground, she roughly confirmed the direction in which the armored dragon left. With the speed of the armored dragon, it would not move too far in a few hours.
At this moment, she was hesitating whether to take the initiative to pursue or set a trap to lure the armored dragon over. The terrain nearby was stepped, which was quite suitable for a shield-axe user like her.
Gordon and the others observed Feng Ying's performance from a distance.
There were many exposed ore deposits on the surrounding rock walls, but no one took out the pickaxe.
At this time, the clanging and clanging would interfere with the hunting, but they were not short of ore to this extent.
"Swoosh——"
Ansel whistled softly, attracting the attention of Gordon and Hayata.
He raised his chin, and Gordon Hayata looked in the direction he indicated.
In the dark corner at the top of the cave, at least eight or nine giant bees were scattered and parked there, seemingly sleeping.
"Tsk, what a mosquito nest." Gordon muttered in a low voice.
Hayata pursed her lips. The giant wasp was just a small monster with a fragile body structure. Even a trainee hunter could easily kill it.
But once the number reaches more than four or five, it becomes quite difficult.
Of course, with Feng Ying's current strength, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with these giant bees. At most, it will take some time.
But if she didn't get rid of these giant bees in advance, when the battle with the armored dragon broke out, these buzzing guys would annoy her.
If he is pricked again by a tail needle containing paralyzing toxin, it is possible that he will fall into a state of paralysis and be in danger of life.
Amber beside Feng Ying twitched her nose, and suddenly, she raised her head - she noticed those giant bees that were as motionless as dead things.
"Woof woof."
Amber cupped Feng Ying's waist. Feng Ying was reminded and looked up, and soon discovered those gray-yellow insects that hunters hated so much.
"Hey" Feng Ying's whole face wrinkled.
far away.
An Xil, who noticed Feng Ying's reaction, looked a little regretful, "It's a pity that she saw it."
"Hello Twisted Meow" Koran complained to him as she licked her paw.
Anxier ignored Xianglan. He turned his head and looked at Gordon and the others, "Do you think she will leave directly, or will she find a way to get rid of these little things first?"
"They will be cleared first, after all, there are so many of them." Hayata whispered.
Gordon crossed his arms and sneered.
It’s understandable that she didn’t find it. After all, the location of those giant bees was relatively hidden, but her hunting partners had reminded her, so she didn’t react.
Hitting her all over the head is considered light.
Under the gaze of everyone, Feng Ying bent down and picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it hard at the rock wall where the giant bees lived.
"Crack!"
"Buzz——"
The sleeping giant bees were awakened. Amidst the sharp buzzing of insect wings, they left the rock wall and surrounded Feng Ying.
Feng Ying also pulled out the Horned Dragon Shield Ax at the same time.
Gordon snorted and loosened his arms.
Pork Chop breathed a sigh of relief for Feng Ying, "You escaped, meow."
