Chapter 684: Unknown Source of Danger

The little alchemist gave another two days.

Gordon could tell that the little fat man was very cautious this time. It would not have taken so long to smelt the stone guard using ancient alchemy. At that time, it only took more than an hour to smelt Nadia's guard stone.

Maybe the King-level protective stone itself and the strengthening materials are relatively precious, so I want to prepare it carefully.

In his current state of mind where he can fall asleep even while standing, failure is almost certain when he performs difficult ancient alchemy techniques.

As the fourteenth generation head of Maka Alchemy House, you can't be so irresponsible!

So, Gordon and others returned to the Isana.

They had visited this small hilltop village a long time ago. If they wanted to continue killing time, they could only look over and over to maintain equipment, or read books or something.

On the deck, Gordon, who was wiping [He Yao] bit by bit, sighed helplessly.

This trip to Sinard Village was really disappointing. If it weren't for the fat man from the Alchemy House who brought them some gains, this trip would really be considered a pure tourist trip.

Hayata on the side was holding a sharpening stone to carefully grind the blade, then took out a cotton cloth, dipped it in anti-rust knife oil and applied it carefully. After completing the maintenance of a tachi, Hayata smiled and said: "Have a peaceful time. Isn’t it good to have a week?”

"It's so peaceful!" Feng Ying threw aside the monster illustrated book that she had almost torn through, hugging her knees and muttering, "I thought this journey would be more exciting."

An Xil walked over and stuffed another tome into Feng Ying's arms, "You've already said this, so if nothing happens, something will happen."

"Haha! Superstitious!"

The next day, the village elders visited the Isana and approached the brigade leader.

An Xil glanced at Feng Ying, whose face was full of questions, and laughed.

Sure enough, after the two old men exchanged a few words, the brigade leader waved and called them hunters over.

The elder seemed a little anxious. He was impatient and said before the leader could speak: "Everyone, I have something urgent to ask for your help.

There was a villager in our village who set out early to collect herbs the day before yesterday. He should have been back before sunset the day before yesterday. However, he stayed out all night and had no news yesterday. His wife was very worried and came to find us.

He is an experienced herb collector, and he would not go to any dangerous areas. We are worried that he was attacked by a monster, and we would like to ask for your help in investigation and rescue. "

There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing. Gordon nodded, and everyone in the hunting group quickly finished dressing up, put on basic hunting props, and set off in a hurry.

The terrain of Sky Mountain is steep, with many places going straight up and down. Rock peaks are intertwined with countless thick vines. There are also a large number of ruins mixed in, layer upon layer, making it easy for outsiders to get lost.

Gordon had been here once and was somewhat impressed, but certainly not familiar. Fortunately, there was a detailed map provided by the elders and others.

After some distance away from the village, Gordon made a gesture, the running team paused, and everyone gathered around him.

"If we go further, we'll go off the road. We'll split up to investigate. Once we find the rescue target, we'll launch a flare. If we encounter a large monster, try not to cause a conflict. If a battle must break out, we'll also launch a flare."

After glancing at his companions and confirming that everyone heard clearly, Gordon took out the map and unfolded it, "According to the elders and others, the rescue target shouldn't be too far away.

Ansiel is responsible for areas 6 and 7 in the northwest, Hayata is responsible for the mountain peak, which is areas 4 and 8, Feng Ying is responsible for areas 1 and 3 near the camp, and I am responsible for areas 2 and 5. "

Everyone carefully confirmed the area they were responsible for exploring and kept the contents on the map in mind.

More than a minute later, Gordon put away the map and said, "The restricted area is in the southwest direction. It is forbidden to approach. If there is a reason to get closer, remember to fire the signal flare in advance."

Gordon said this while staring at Feng Ying.

"." Feng Ying flattened her mouth.

Having said that, the area that Master Gordon is responsible for is southwest, just between the area that he is responsible for and the restricted area. Don't say that he doesn't want to cause trouble, even if he wants to cause trouble, Master Gordon will catch him.

Thinking of this, Feng Ying's face was so twitchy that she didn't trust herself so much?

Gordon pinched Feng Ying's cheeks and continued to remind his companions, "The geology of Sky Mountain is very unstable. Many rock peaks and boulders are bound by vines or even suspended. They may collapse at any time. Pay attention to your feet and the top of your head and set off separately. "

The hunters spread out and explored their respective areas.

Gordon is not worried about the safety of his companions. Even Feng Ying, the weakest member of the team, is a five-star hunter.

At this level, there are not many monsters that can really pose a fatal threat to it, not to mention the tooth hound Amber. Even if it comes from a "regional overlord" like the Dino Tyrannosaurus, she can at least run away.

A man and a cat walked among the rugged rocks.

"Something's not right, meow." Pig Chop, who was running around beside Gordon, suddenly raised his body, "It's not the smell, meow, but..."

"Some kind of amorphous sense of danger, right?" Gordon slowed down and looked vaguely to the southwest.

"Gordon feels it too, Meow?"

"Um."

Gordon pulled down his visor, "There was no clear sense of direction, nor the feeling of being watched. I just felt that I was in danger, but I couldn't tell where the danger came from."

"Gordon suspects it's the reason behind the forbidden area, cat?"

"It's possible. After all, we are the closest to the restricted area. We can ask Hayata and the others later if they have similar feelings."

Neither Gordon nor Zhuchou wanted to continue to approach the restricted area to find out.

Further exploration may be necessary, but not now.

The only goal at the moment is to rescue the missing villagers and check the restricted area. We can wait and see what the elders and the great monks decide after reporting to them.

According to the surrounding terrain, after confirming his current position, Gordon prepared to continue searching for traces of the missing with Zhuchou.

At this moment, a flare rose in the air two or three kilometers away in a straight line.

Gordon and Zhuchou looked at each other, "It's Fengying's side, let's go!"

"What's going on?" Anxier turned over and jumped off Liefeng's saddle.

He was the first to arrive, and the speed of riding a toothhound was several times that of running on foot.

"Shh!" Fengying put her finger in front of her mouth, signaling Anxier to keep quiet, and then made a few gestures to the latter.

Anxier nodded, quietly bypassed the rock wall where Fengying was hiding, and looked in the direction indicated by Fengying.

Ahead was a hunter camp built among the ruins of the ruins. Outside the exit was a narrow pass with a width of only a little over one meter. Humans could enter and exit normally, but large monsters could not enter.

A huge pink-haired gorilla was roaring and wandering here, and from time to time it would rush into the narrow pass that it could not pass through at all. It was very violent, but not very smart.

Peach-haired beast king?

"Amber told me that there is a human scent in the camp. The missing one should be hiding in the camp." Fengying whispered.

Anxier narrowed his eyes slightly.

This lingering sense of threat that enveloped his heart.

No wonder Fengying chose to wait for support instead of rushing up and chopping directly after sending a signal.

Was it really just a peach-haired beast king? !
