Hotel on the mountain

The marginal forest, as a whole, grows in the valleys of two mountain ranges. It extends further east like a green channel, and the mountains on both sides are also integrated into the ecological chain of this forest - it is rated as The five-star Barbarian Jaw Dragon is not the strongest monster in this forest. They will also be preyed on - and Yetro is now going to find out who preyed on the Barbarian Jaw Dragon?

“According to the reports from hunters, four bodies of Barbarian jaws have been found. What’s strange is that the dead Barbarian dragons all had black stripes on their bodies, just like the one found for the first time. "Qiu Guang was summarizing the exploration report, "I learned from Ms. Dao'er that if the body of this special individual Barbarian jaw dragon is destroyed, it will decay faster. Therefore, I agree with Ms. Dao'er that death does not mean death. It’s not their end—there’s an unknown monster doing something to the Barbarian jaws in the New World.”

"Yes, this is what worries me." Jetro and his group drove their horses through the safe areas of the forest - these areas have been clearly mapped out by hunters, "A kind of dragon that can 'prey' on the Barbarian Jaw Dragon" ? "How strong should that be?"

"Most six-star monsters can repel the Barbarian Jaw Dragon. If it is a 'predator', it will be at least a seven-star monster." Qiu Guang, who has short black hair, gave his advice cautiously, " However, a monster that can stably 'prey' on the Barbarian Jaw Dragon——"

Qiu Guang turned to look at Yetro, his childish face was full of solemnity: "That must be eight-star. And eight-star monsters are all the best in the 'experienced battle' type. …”

"Ancient dragon." Yetro added the most worrying word, which is the biggest factor restricting the expansion of human territory.

"Hey," Qiu Guang smiled and said, "I have encountered many monsters, but ancient dragons are extremely rare. If you really encounter them, I will help you resist them for a while."

Qiu Guang is very young, but he is so confident. Reminding him of his status as an eight-star hunter, Jetro relaxed a little and asked, "You don't seem to be afraid at all?"

Qiu Guang, who was similar in age to Jetro but looked younger, responded solemnly: "Yes, I'm not afraid."

Jetro looked at him, seriously. He found that Qiu Guang had a pointed chin and square gum bones, which would be very noticeable on a woman's face. His jet-black eyebrows slanted over his black eyes, adding a lot of youthful vitality to his wheat-colored skin. But the most important thing was his eyes, which were deep and charming. Jetro looked at his eyes, and through those brown pupils, he felt that he saw what a young man should be like.

Just listen to Qiu Guang continue to say: "Only by overcoming fear can you transcend strength. When I was wandering around the Boyero Empire, I met a small village in the south. The people there have a very serious fear of 'trees'. They think that cutting down The tree will bring disaster. Later, after I cut the tree down in front of them, I found that the "disaster" was just because there was a fungus on the tree that made people lose their hair. The spores on the mushrooms will be scattered and inhaled, causing people to go bald. If inhaled in large quantities, they will cause the body to shrink and die.

Therefore, fear is a boulder that hinders people's progress. You can look up to it, but sooner or later you have to learn to cross it. "

When Jetro heard these remarks, he smiled and looked at Qiu Guang with a bit of admiration in his eyes: "Very beautiful remarks, but - did you think of this yourself?"

Qiu Guang pouted and replied sheepishly: "No, it was my former teacher who told me." He paused and asked Jetro again: "Is it because I look too young again? You don’t look like someone who can speak great truths?”

Jetro looked at Qiu Guang's delicate face and could only reply: "Well, a little bit."

…

In a corner of the marginal forest, three-star hunter Daniel was carrying a basket full of mushrooms. He also held a list in his hand and muttered to himself: "Thirty blue mushrooms, three red mushrooms." Ten, um, there are thirty little white mushrooms, little white mushrooms, little white mushrooms, where are they?”

Daniel was carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and there were beads of sweat on his slightly curled bangs. He bent over and fiddled with the rotten tree trunk, looking for small and white mushrooms. He was careful and did not miss any clues. He stared at the hollow tree trunk for a long time, and finally found a handful at a certain branch.

"Aha, the great hunter Daniel conquered again today - the little white mushroom~" He happily shoveled the mushrooms down and put them into the basket. He took a list and started to look at the things needed by various departments of the hotel today: "Blacksmith Shop" We also need some ore. Tsk, I remember there is an exposed mine nearby."

Daniel, who is addicted to work, is simple and happy. He didn't notice at all that a creature hiding in the shadows was quietly approaching him.

…

"Qiu Guang, can you test your training results now?" Yetro looked at the fifteen people following behind him. They were all wearing uniform hunting attire, equipment made by Simba. Their tops were made of the fur of the saurus, which can effectively resist heat and impact. Simba also had the insight to change the pink saurus fur into green and black colors with dyes so that they would not look like this. A group of masculine men are distressed by the color pink.

Their pants and shoes are made of the skin of the lantern fish and other parts of their bodies to effectively prevent moisture and stickiness. As for their weapons - everyone has different interests in weapons, but they all use the claws of the Blue Velociraptor and some minerals in their production, ensuring effective output and adding poisonous damage.

But Qiu Guang also asked Simba to make them iron masks. The forehead of each mask was marked with a number from "1" to "15" - he didn't know which teacher taught Qiu Guang. In short, he thought This move can effectively weaken the individual consciousness of the hunting team members and enhance their collective consciousness. This measure is beneficial to Yetro's management.

"Of course, I guarantee that they will obey your orders." Qiu Guang stretched out his hand, indicating to Yetro that he could use it as he pleased.

Jetro took two steps forward on his horse, and when he looked at a member of the hunting team who was of different heights but had a strong aura, he said:

"You! Unlike other prisoners who came to the New World - fate chose you because you are extraordinary in ordinary lives.

Those people, those prisoners who were sent by me to do other things, are destined to live an ordinary life, a life of peace and stability, without seeking wealth. But because you are destined to live a more colorful life than ordinary people, your journey is also destined to be more disaster-ridden.

Qiu Guang said, you are all people with patience, care, wisdom and perseverance. I believe in him, just as I also believe in you. I believe even more that no one wants to be unknown. Just like you who are wearing masks at this moment and I who am hiding in this new continent at this moment, we are the same——"

Jetro raised his right hand that was clenched into a fist and said passionately, "We want to succeed! We want to be looked up to! We want the whole world to know that there are number one figures like us in this land!

When the time comes, I will lead you to show it to the world, but at this moment, we still need to work hard to train ourselves. I will also give you the treatment you deserve, including wages, benefits, and holidays. You are not prisoners or weapons. You are just a small group of people who have embarked on another successful path. If you understand this, please give me a response. "

Jetro smiled slightly, and the fifteen people in front of him raised their arms and shouted like they had rehearsed: "Follow Lord Jetro to the death!"

"Now! I need you to work in small groups to detect any suspicious traces - in this forest, there is a monster that can 'prey' on the Barbarian Jaw Dragon. I need to know who it is?

Remember, we are only here for reconnaissance. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately. I don't want to lose you so quickly. Gather at Pearl Lake at dusk and disperse! "

Jetro waved his arm, and the hunting team members began to explore in different directions in groups of three. Qiu Guang watched them leave and reminded: "Uh, Boss Jetro, although I am very confident in my discipline, I think it is a bit too early to let them act alone. They are serious criminals. Ah, maybe they'll hide in the woods and plan an attack?"

"Yes, maybe, maybe not. But in this case, I will know exactly who has different intentions, right? And if there is a riot, I believe you can help me solve it."

"Of course, you are paid well after all."

…

Daniel, who was walking among the woods, found some black dust falling on his shoulders, but he just patted it and ignored more and more dust falling from his head. After all, this was the wilderness.

Not long after walking, a piece of open land was given way to crowded trees. Daniel ran quickly, looking for the ore he wanted among the piles of rocks. These stones were green, white, blue, and purple, and were stacked together in a variety of colors. Daniel couldn't help but wonder if this was the lair of a dragon who liked stones. However, based on his many years of running errands, this place was completely a natural open air. Mine, so he began to whistle happily and pick the color he liked.

Black snowflakes fell, dots falling on his eyebrows.

"Snow?" Daniel wiped his forehead with his hand and found that there was no heat or cold touch. But when he looked up, he found that the top of his head seemed to be gray, a large floating object of unknown substance. Surrounding myself - and now it is obviously a sunny day, but it is as if it is a cloudy day, making people feel uncomfortable.

The three-star hunter was still alert. Daniel placed the basket on the ground and began to bow and arrow. A pair of sharp eyes under his slightly curly bangs began to observe the surroundings - suddenly! ——A black figure flashed quickly from the edge of his field of vision!

With a sound of "Boom!", Daniel's arrow had already shot, and only a soft "thud" sound was heard. It clearly hit the tree trunk.

Running was the only thing that Daniel could think of at the moment. He was just out picking mushrooms, and there was no need to confront a dangerous monster head-on. So he began to retreat slowly, in a circle, trying not to expose his back to the monster's eyes for too long - because he had no idea which direction the monster was currently.

The open land is the best choice for hunters to deal with monsters. If the monster does not attack in the open land, it means that it is a monster that is good at sneak attacks or chasing.

Daniel secretly infused his legs with psychic energy. Once he entered the woods, he would evacuate as quickly as possible. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a black figure out of the corner of his eye. The figure was very fast and not huge. This discovery gave Daniel some confidence.

When he turned his back to the woods and caught a glimpse of the black figure again, he immediately turned around and ran away! At this moment, the monster on his side was no longer prepared to hide, and it began to run at a high speed. The "squeaking" sound of breaking the tree trunk shocked Daniel so much that he didn't dare to look back!

Spiritual energy infuses his legs, and he runs like the wind.

But it doesn’t last—however violent the outburst is, how brief it is. Daniel heard the sound of chasing behind him getting closer and closer, and his breathing quickened. He immediately took out a flash bomb made of light bugs from his pocket, and smashed it to the ground with a bang!

Several light bugs wrapped in a small vessel began to automatically release all the light on their bodies in an instant after receiving a violent impact! Anyone who has eyes to see it will be instantly blinded.

As soon as Daniel heard the monster's footsteps coincide with the sound of the flash bomb, he knew he had succeeded, so he immediately turned back to see the monster's true face - only to see a cold black dragon head emerging from the range of the flash. He rushed out and rushed towards Daniel without losing any speed.

Daniel only had time to take a quick glance before his whole body was knocked away by a head as tall as his body. He was surprised in the air: "No...no eyes?!"

Landing, rolling, vomiting blood and getting up to dodge, Daniel performed it all in one go.

He poured psychic energy into the injured area, which was enough for him to drink a bottle of rapid recovery psychic potion - these psychic potions were mixed with herbs used to treat internal injuries, which could better restore the injury. But he didn't have time to drink another bottle of medicine, because the black dragon began to rush towards the big tree where he was hiding.

He had no choice but to dodge in a panic, and took out a special large flash bomb from his arms. This kind of flash bomb was not used to dodge monsters, but to call for rescue. After landing, Daniel stood up in a hurry. He inserted the special flash bomb into the arrow branch, used the fastest speed in his life to ignite the fuse of the special flash bomb and shot it into the sky - the flash bomb exploded after reaching the highest point, with ten kinds of mixed contents inside. Several light bugs exploded into colorful lights with their lives.

With a crisp sound of "bang", Daniel was knocked away again and spit out a beautiful bloody arc in the air. He just hoped that he was lucky enough to be rescued by nearby hunters in time.

…

Of course, Ye Teluo and Qiu Guang, who were standing at a high place, saw the distress signal exploding in the air. They found that they were not far from the place where the accident occurred, and wanted to rush there immediately, but Ye Teluo was directly stopped by Qiu Guang and said: "Boss, you'd better go back to the hotel directly. If it's a flying dragon, I can't completely guarantee your safety."

This was a pertinent suggestion, and Jetro had no reason to refuse, although he really wanted to try the "Hammer and Gloves" story that Mengzhi told him. So he nodded and motioned to wait where he was.

Qiu Guang completely abandoned the horse and sprinted towards the rescue point with his legs like the wind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jetro didn't wait long when he saw blazing lightning blasts pouring out of the woods not far away and slashing into the air in rows! And it continues to be enhanced! Immediately afterwards, he saw giant trees in the forest collapse! It's like a domino pulling out a straight line!

Immediately, he felt his feet trembling again, and the trembling amplitude was getting higher and higher, as if some large creature was approaching here.

Suddenly, Meng Zhi's voice sounded in his mind again: "A large number of psychic carriers have been detected approaching! Retreat quickly!"

Mengzhi next to her grabbed Yetro's shoulders while passing the message and pulled him onto her horse. Then Mengzhi started whipping her as if she was moving from a peaceful oil painting to violent heavy metal music. Horses, that horse accelerates to 100 meters in less than a second and starts galloping in the wind! Jetro hasn't even seen the monster's shadow yet!

But he didn't have time to think about it, because he had to hold Mengzhi's waist tightly at this time, otherwise Mengzhi's violent and consistent riding skills would throw him off!

"What do you mean a large number of psychic carriers?!"

"A powerful creature, a creature as irrational as you."

"Aha?!"

At this moment, a ball of pitch-black energy quickly came from behind their horses and hit them directly in front of them! In the dream, a sudden pull made the horse unable to stop at all and could only tip over sideways! Jetro was thrown away.

At the moment of flying out, Jetro's brain only heard Mengzhi's answer - "It wants to hunt you."
