Chapter 76 Silver Fox Hunting Group (Two in One)

Driving the airboat to leave the suspected hiding spot No. 3.

Yu Ke used satellite communication to contact the Forestry Bureau and prepared to inform them of what had just happened.

He found the Monkey King Qishui at the suspected hiding spot No. 3, but failed to find any trace of Pandora.

The existence of the Monkey King Qishui convinced Yu Ke that Pandora was not in the hot spring forest area, otherwise the latter should have appeared to participate in the battle, and the Shadow Moon Leopard would also react, at least not so rashly provoke the Monkey King and trigger a battle.

After leaving the hot spring forest area, Yu Ke's mind returned to normal. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Isn't the Shadow Moon Leopard a little too sensitive?

It is the overlord of the outer edge of the Mirror Lake Forest. How can it know so much about the situation in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest?

You must know that Yu Ke came here according to the map route. Except for resting at night, he did not get lost along the way, nor did he stay somewhere for a long time. How could the Shadow Moon Leopard arrive first and determine the location of the Monkey King Qishui?

Yu Ke had read the files about Shadow Moon Leopard in the Forestry Bureau before. The patrol team commented that it had a strong sense of territory and often wandered around the periphery of Mirror Lake Forest in search of prey.

In other words, Shadow Moon Leopard rarely entered the depths of Mirror Lake Forest.

Looking at the communication signal displayed on the watch, Yu Ke put on the Bluetooth headset and guessed that Shadow Moon Leopard was very likely to track Pandora's infection through some channel, or that someone was guiding it.

Then he thought it was absurd.

With such an arrogant personality as Shadow Moon Leopard, how could it obey the orders of others?

While thinking, the satellite communication was connected, and Ansai Li's voice came from the headset,

"What's the situation on your side?"

Yu Ke briefly explained the process of hunting the Qishui Monkey King, emphasizing the existence of Shadow Moon Leopard and the subsequent self-repair of Mirror Lake Forest.

"Have similar situations occurred in other forest areas during this period?"

Not everyone can observe natural energy, and it is the [Spiritual Awakening] trait that allowed Yu Ke to accidentally discover this supernatural phenomenon, but he believes that there must be extraordinary people in the Forest Defense Bureau who are good at detecting supernatural phenomena.

Yu Ke specifically asked about this matter at the moment because he wanted to find out whether the self-repair of the forest he saw not long ago was normal or an abnormal change that would only occur when certain conditions were met.

"I don't have any relevant reports on the self-repair of the Mirror Lake Forest yet, but I will ask my superiors. As for the situation where the Shadow Moon Leopard attacked the infected beast on its own, it has never happened before."

After listening to Yu Ke's description, Anseli's tone was obviously confused, and he paused and added,

"Of course, the appearance of ghost-level strange containments such as Pandora is also the first time, and the Forest Defense Bureau has no past files for comparison."

The Forest Defense Bureau and even the General Administration of Disaster Prevention are also crossing the river by feeling the stones in the special environment of the Great Catastrophic Era. Many things that go against common sense are actually encountered for the first time, unlike ordinary criminal cases that can be judged by checking previous files.

In fact, the General Administration of Disaster Prevention has recently been trying to establish event files for various strange objects. For example, the Pandora incident will definitely become a focus case after it ends, and a separate file will be established to analyze and study it all over the country.

"There has never been a similar situation before. It seems to be a special case. I don't know what conditions must be met. If the Forestry Bureau can master this method, Pandora's infection of water and soil may be possible to be saved."

Yu Ke once again emphasized the self-repair phenomenon of the forest. As for whether the Forestry Bureau can dig out the hidden secrets, it has nothing to do with him. He has done enough.

His eyes fell on the watch map, and Yu Ke turned to ask if there were any other suspected hiding places near Ansai Li.

Anyway, we are here now, and it should be a few hours before dark. Yu Ke doesn't mind continuing to look for Pandora.

Finally, he learned from Ansai Li that the closest to him is hiding place No. 2.

"I'm not sure if I can find Pandora at hiding spot No. 2, but I'll go and have a look."

Finding Pandora is currently the primary goal of the Forestry Bureau. Finding it is undoubtedly a great achievement, but Yu Ke never makes promises easily. After all, he can only find it by testing the water quality now. No matter how powerful the spiritual awakening trait is, it still needs close observation.

In fact, Yu Ke thinks that the Shadow Moon Leopard is likely to be able to sense Pandora's movements.

It's a pity that this guy comes and goes without a trace, and there is no way to communicate with him. If you want to meet it, you have to take your chances.

Checking the map and modifying the route forward, Yu Ke drove the airboat to turn into the northeast tributary in front.

It was already noon, and Yu Ke, who had just experienced a battle, urgently needed to replenish his physical strength. He simply slowed down the speed of the airboat and took out a large bag of beef jerky and a thermos cup from his backpack.

If you want to travel long distances in the Mirror Lake Forest, it is best to keep the weight at a suitable level. Therefore, Yu Ke only brought a limited amount of food with him, and the rest was stored in the saddle of the frightened deer for supplies on the way back.

If he still can't find Pandora before noon tomorrow, he will have to consider returning.

There is no other way, who let the Mirror Lake be polluted by Pandora? If it were the previous environment, there would be food everywhere in the forest. Yu Ke only needed to bring a knife and he would have no problem living for half a month.

After adjusting the direction of advance, Yu Ke let the airship float forward along the river, stretched his legs, took a sip of warm water, chewed beef jerky, and observed the surrounding environment.

As the airship continued to go deeper into the Mirror Lake, Yu Ke could clearly feel that the forest was gradually becoming sparse, the river channel became wider, and even the cold wind blowing in his face was full of moisture.

Without the shelter of the jungle, the snow above his head seemed to be expanding again.

Yu Ke looked out and saw that the water in the distance even had a layer of light gray fog, which was covering this side.

Looking at the gray fog, thinking about how to act later.

The sharp-toothed bow and arrow with only a few arrows left was temporarily useless. When Yu Ke talked to Ansai Li just now, he specifically asked about the manufacturing progress of the new equipment. He learned that the combat uniforms had been made, and the bows and arrows were being made in an expedited manner. If it was fast, it would be completed this afternoon.

As for when exactly, Ansai Li could not give an accurate time.

Yu Ke couldn't say anything more about this efficiency, after all, it was only a few days since he handed the data to Ansai Li.

If he hadn't been promoted to a two-star hunter and participated in the Pandora incident that the Forestry Bureau and even the General Administration of Disaster Prevention paid special attention to, it would be basically impossible to get a full set of high-tech bows and arrows in such a short time.

"Hey! Brothers over there, look here!"

Just when Yu Ke was taking a break and eating, someone's shouting suddenly came from the forest next to him.

Yu Ke put down the thermos and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw someone on the right side of the river rushing towards this side on the roots of a giant tree, jumping up from time to time, waving his arms and shouting, trying to attract his attention.

With his newly enhanced vision, Yu Ke noticed the bright silver badge on the chest of the man in the gray-green cloak without a telescope.

Although the pattern on the badge could not be seen clearly through the wind and snow, those who wore such badges were basically members of the hunting group.

This was soon confirmed by several people who appeared behind him one after another.

They all wore bright silver badges, and one of them even held a palm-sized booklet, which was a certificate issued by the Forestry Bureau, indicating that they were a hunting group that had been formally registered with the Forestry Bureau.

Apparently, they also saw the forest ranger suit on Yu Ke, so they used this method to identify themselves.

'I didn't expect to meet a hunting group here, it seems that they are quite strong. '

Yu Ke turned his hand and held the joystick, moving towards them, thinking so in his heart.

It's not that Yu Ke's eyesight is so good that he can see through other people's ability level from dozens of meters away, but his current position is close to the core area of ​​Mirror Lake Water Marsh. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary hunting groups dare not enter this area at will.

Being able to come here in such a short time is enough to prove the strength of this team.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Ke did not rashly move the airship over, but still kept a certain distance from them and asked.

"Brother, our airship was destroyed by a ferocious beast, and we want you to take a ride."

The leading man was tall and strong, and he took off his cloak hood to reveal a rough and tough face. The hair on both sides of the temples was a little lush, but his beard was shaved clean. Seeing that Yu Ke didn't say anything, he thought that he was not sincere enough, and hurriedly added,

"Don't worry, we will pay you, the price is negotiable!"

"Sorry, I have to continue to go deeper into the Mirror Lake, and I don't plan to return for the time being."

Yu Ke still had to continue to the suspected hiding place No. 2. He was not interested in being a temporary boatman for these people, and decisively waved his hand to refuse.

"We are not going back. I am the leader of the A-level Silver Fox Hunting Group. Just now, another A-level hunting group sent a message that the things the Forest Defense Bureau is looking for are now in sight. We are in a hurry to take a boat to go there to verify!"

Seeing that Yu Ke turned around and was about to leave, the hunting group leader was a little anxious, and took the certificate from the group member to explain.

This successfully stopped Yu Ke, and after a brief hesitation, he turned around and drove the airship towards the Silver Fox Hunting Group.

As mentioned before, in order to get the hunting group to help find Pandora, the Forestry Bureau deliberately spread some information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Many lower-level hunting groups believed that there were natural treasures in the Mirror Lake Forest through these groundless news, but that was just their wishful thinking. The A-level hunting groups basically had their own information channels and generally had a cooperative relationship with the Forestry Bureau.

Therefore, the information they received was more accurate, and they even accepted the task of the Forestry Bureau in advance to assist the patrol team in going deep into the Mirror Lake Forest to find Pandora.

Of course, the Forestry Bureau probably just told them what the thing they were looking for looked like and what kind of harm it would cause.

The exact information about Pandora is still confidential information.

Therefore, the requirements for these A-levels are not high. As long as they find the target, they can immediately receive a large reward.

In other words, in addition to the people from the Forestry Bureau, the A-level hunting groups also know what the Forestry Bureau is urgently looking for.

These people in front of him first showed their hunting group credentials and then took the initiative to reveal their identities. They were undoubtedly trustworthy.

Yu Ke was quite concerned about the "news" from other hunting groups mentioned by the hunting group leader. He wanted to know more, so he moved the airship closer.

With the specifications of Yu Ke's airship, it is no problem to squeeze in about five people, but the speed is slower. It seems that not all members of the hunting group here want to board the boat. After discussing with each other, only three people came on board.

The remaining two people will stay here to guard their prey and try to repair the airship.

Yu Ke noticed that there were archers in the Silver Fox Hunting Group, and took the initiative to ask for arrows as a reward for carrying them. The latter readily agreed. Anyway, they didn't need to participate in the battle if they stayed here, and generously took out half of the quiver and handed it to Yu Ke.

After everyone boarded the airship, Yu Ke gave up the driving position and let the leader of the Silver Fox Hunting Group who knew the route take over the joystick.

Taking this opportunity, the people on both sides introduced themselves.

The three people on the boat were the leader of the Silver Fox Hunting Group, Hu Yingjie, and his sister Hu Yuzhi. The two siblings were both extraordinary people and core combat members of the Silver Fox Hunting Group.

Although they are brother and sister, they look quite different.

Hu Yingjie looks like a rough and tough guy with extraordinarily luxuriant hair. It is unknown whether it is affected by his extraordinary ability, while Hu Yuzhi is a pretty girl with an oval face and a lot of smiles.

In addition, there is Li Ankui, a medical staff in the hunting group. He wears glasses and a medical kit on his waist. He looks like a gentle young man, but he carries a sniper rifle behind him. He is a ruthless man who practices both civil and military.

Yu Ke did not intend to hide his identity. Just as he was about to introduce himself, he heard Hu Yuzhi exclaim,

"Long-handled axe, bow and arrow, lone ranger hunter. You are Yu Ke, right?"

Because of the popularity of the hunting log series of videos, Yu Ke has already attracted the attention of major hunting groups in the Danhang area. Even if there is no real person, his weapon has become an extremely conspicuous personal label.

Hu Yuzhi obviously watched a lot of videos, and her eyes were shining when she looked at Yu Ke.

"I am indeed Yu Ke, the forest ranger hunter. This time I received a mission from the Forestry Bureau to find the target. As you can see, I have been wandering around in the Mirror Lake Forest but have not gained anything. Instead, I have spent a lot of arrows."

Yu Ke did not mention the matter of the Monkey King Qishui. He just showed a helpless expression and shrugged his shoulders.

"Haha, you are joking. Except for a master like you, who dares to go deep into the Mirror Lake Forest alone?"

Hu Yingjie has not forgotten the scene of seeing Yu Ke alone driving the airboat in the middle of the river. Except for this kind of ruthless person who dares to chase the hunter-faced owl in the blizzard and fight monsters, ordinary hunters dare to travel so brazenly in the Mirror Lake River?

"Tell me the news you got. Are you sure it is the target that the Forestry Bureau wants to find?"

Yu Ke did not mention the title of Pandora, but threw the question to Hu Yingjie, because he did not know to what extent the Forestry Bureau had revealed these A-level hunting groups.

"I just received the news, so I'm not 100% sure. But the people from Yalang said that the guy appeared in the Jinghu Lake. He was extremely large, and the part of his body that was exposed to the water had a lot of colorful flowers and very strange colors, which basically matched the description of the Forestry Bureau."

Hu Yingjie hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't guarantee it. He could only pass on the information he got to Yu Ke.

Today's chapter, I got a stomachache.

I ordered fried chicken for dinner, and I exploded alone after eating it. I suspect they were clearing out the stock at the end of the year, so I won a big prize and got diarrhea after eating it. It's unbearable
