Chapter 239 Demon Star

呲味~

The harsh sound of cutting soon echoed in the pit.

In the middle of the night, the stars are shining brightly.

One person and one cat rode on the amphibious platform to the top of the giant pit.

A round jade stone, whose surface was covered with silver spikes and could not be placed, was frozen and encapsulated by transparent ice crystals and was lifted up in Li Ming's hand.

The strange power contained in the jade made the [Uzumaki Bones] all over his body creak.

The rising and falling speeds of the Sky Amphibole Platform have also been greatly increased.

Unfortunately, once the fall of [Evil Star] is activated and it accelerates slightly, it cannot decelerate and brake, making it too dangerous to ride.

Naturally, Li Ming couldn't bear to part with such a large piece of complete Sky Amphibolite, so he attached it to the Mad Dragon Dust for positioning, and then used [Rock Wrap] to put a super-thick protective shell on it, and then released it for future summoning.

"Are we releasing a star, meow?"

Midoduo asked in surprise when he saw the amphibious stone rising into the night sky.

"That's right, but it seems that this star is still a bit dim at the moment."

"So the future will be even brighter, nya?"

"Probably."

"Looking forward to the day when I see it break through the sky, meow."

Midoduo closed his eyes and made a wish.

One day later, one person and one cat took a rail car and arrived at the area near the original site of the mountain walled city, where the rails broke.

Due to the churning and running over of the Snake King, the landscape here has been completely transformed.

The two peaks that once almost closed in the middle have now been expanded into a wide circular passage.

I don’t know if I have become numb early or if I am adaptable enough.

A large number of residents, hunters, and scholars have begun to move materials and start a new round of reconstruction.

A large number of tents were set up in the temporary guild headquarters.

Li Ming found Zuda, handed over the report, and told him all the information he witnessed.

The great elder died in battle with the elderly hunter who was willing to stay.

The entire city-state collapsed and fell, and five snake kings and dragons rushed to it.

Witness the Annihilator Nergigante and two Dark Crimson Dragons.

The mantis died.

The area around East Doruma may have evolved into a new area full of terrestrial corals and full of vitality due to the changes in the crust caused by this explosion and the nourishment of the flesh and blood of the corpse of the Snake King.

Such a huge amount of information made Zuda's thinking a little confusing for a while.

"It doesn't make much sense to think about it now. The most important thing is to extract the materials of the Snake King."

Li Ming still doesn't know how long it will take for the underground pit to turn into an ecosystem similar to the Miasma Valley.

But in terms of the ecological environment of the underworld, the topography is horribly different.

It is extremely difficult to explore in depth, let alone extract the ingredients in batches and transport them back.

So action must be taken immediately.

As for the purpose, the hunter's guild, which is being rebuilt, will not be able to carry out hunting on a certain scale in the short term.

The improvement of weapon armor for top hunters may stagnate.

Regardless of the issue of adaptability, the strength of the Snake King Dragon material is completely top-notch at the moment, not to mention the quantity is so huge.

"I understand. If you really want to risk your life to protect this last hope, you must have the capital."

Zuda quickly understood and asked the cat messenger to tell Aiden to go to the headquarters immediately because he had an important mission.

"Are Chuying and Ni Shuang okay?"

"Very good. The evacuation mission has also been completed very well. They have also been helping the camp hunt for free to alleviate the food shortage."

"What about other towns?"

"According to the latest return information, the battle between the Overlord Dragon and the Flame Fox Dragon affected the Feiye Fortress, but it was finally resisted, and the activity of the Lanlong also subsided. Jieyun Village was affected by a Snake King Dragon passing by. The impact of the large-scale migration of monsters has been overcome, but the crisis in Bernard Village has not been alleviated to this day."

"The location of Bernard Village should be relatively safe, right?"

Li Ming expressed curiosity.

"It was true in the past, but when the skeleton dragon expanded its hunting range, the danger level increased greatly. Faced with the monster that once devoured the entire village, the local residents were also very panicked. Unfortunately, the current headquarters is no longer able to provide support. ”

Zuda said helplessly.

"It must have sensed the crisis, so it started preparations in advance."

"It seems that the arrival of monsters from the New World has also brought many unexpected effects."

"President Zuda, can you issue a hunting contract?"

"Of course, what monster do you want to hunt?"

"Skeleton dragon."

"Judging from the information provided by the local area, it is difficult for Bernard Village to provide additional support to the team. Why don't you think about it more?"

Of course Zudar hopes that the skeleton dragon can be hunted.

The current importance of maintaining the normal operation of a branch is self-evident.

However, Li Ming is an invincible six-star hunter, and he really doesn't want any accident to happen.

"No need to think about it, I want to take action immediately."

Li Ming expressed his attitude.

"Okay, the contract will be delivered to the cave where the ruthless team is stationed soon."

Zuda stood up and pointed to a cave on the mountain.

When the mountain walled city still existed, this was just an ordinary corner in the mountain passage.

Now it has become a rare high-end residence.

gurgle~

The fragrant soup is boiling in the black iron pot.

Using the cargo box as a pad, Bubu put the wooden stick in and stirred for a while.

Then add the vegetables to the plate, lift the bone-in meat pieces with the cat's paws, and throw them into the pot.

Gudong~

After investing five yuan in a row, Bubu immediately realized something was wrong.

"I forgot that Li Ming and Mi Duoduo are not here. I put too much of meow. I must save it now."

After chanting, Bubu will try to fish it out.

"Do you need help?"

"Yes, meow, I put too much bone-in meat, I want to take out a piece."

Bubu's neck stiffened and he turned around. When he saw Li Ming returning and Mido Duo waving to him, he immediately burst into tears.

"You're all fine! That's great, nya! It is said that there was a huge explosion over there! No living thing was spared!"

"It's all over, don't be sad anymore."

Li Ming squatted down and stroked his back.

In the evening, Chuying Ni Shuang, who assisted the headquarters camp in hunting, returned.

Seeing that one person and one cat returned safely, I finally let go of my worries.

After hearing the entire observation experience, the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

The city-state, once known as the center of the world and still standing despite countless crises, has truly disappeared forever.

A stronger sense of unreality, deep inside.

When it was mentioned that he was going to go hunting and seriously threaten the skeleton dragon in Bernard Village, Ni Shuang was a little excited at first, but quickly calmed down.

"If the main purpose is to help me complete my revenge, then let's change the target first."

The residents of East Doruma suffered no serious casualties during this crisis.

But now that the situation has reached rock bottom, Ni Shuang does not want to rashly take revenge at this point in time.

"The fact that it didn't settle down was the main reason why I decided to attack."

Li Ming gave an explanation.

"Yes, the song of the Heaven and Earth's Brilliant Crying Dragon has stopped. It stands to reason that the monster's restlessness should subside soon, but the Skeleton Dragon has become more active."

Chuying realized the problem.

It is not uncommon in the history of monster hunting to experience strong disturbances and stimulation, and become the blame scapegoat.

But now that the source has disappeared, it is still highly active and moving around causing threats, which shows that the idea of ​​​​action is very clear.

"Are you sure?"

Ni Shuang asked tentatively.

"The Skeleton Dragon leaving the Dragon Cemetery is a big advantage for us. I feel there is a chance." Li Ming expressed his opinion.

Since the Skeleton Dragon wants to travel on a large scale to hunt for food, it means giving up the bone pile platform of its home dragon cemetery.

At the same time, Li Ming himself is extremely good at attribute transformation.

The Skeleton Dragon's dragon head transformation also doesn't pose much of a threat to it.

The only thing I'm worried about is probably Genesis, which has erupted a huge amount of dragon attributes.

"Well, I'll go make some preparations."

Ni Shuang stood up next to the fire, looking like he couldn't wait to leave now.

"Chuying, what about you?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course I'm going with you guys."

"The Skeleton Dragon is a great threat to long-range hunters, so staying at the temporary headquarters may be a good choice."

"Oh~ I know, you are looking down on me."

Chuying said a long "oh" and curled one corner of her mouth downwards.

"Well, actually, Ge Mantis died in battle, which made me feel very sad, so I don't want something similar to happen to you."

Li Ming sighed.

As the intensity of the target to be hunted continues to increase.

He gradually became worried about the safety of his team members.

"So you are caring about me, but I am a hunter. It is my duty to hunt threatening monsters and maintain ecological stability. What's more, now, when someone must fight, as for the issue of life and death, in fact, everyone has become a hunter long ago. I’ve already thought about it before.”

Chuying looked determined.

"Me too!"

Bubu stood up and raised his paws, touching Chuying's palms.

Preparations for the hunt for the skeleton dragon began.

The next day, in the open mountains, in front of the three-box truck.

Although the temporary guild is short of supplies, food is also somewhat scarce.

But he was generous in supporting the ruthless team.

Carry food and ammunition and load them into the carriage box by box.

Ni Shuang repeatedly looked at the seven-star contract [Naraku's Demonic Star] in his hand, unable to calm down at all.

"Come on, ruthless team!"

"Defeat the skeleton dragon! Don't let it set foot in Bernard Village, meow!"

"If my arm hadn't happened to be broken, I would have gone. Don't let me down, ruthless team!"

As everyone bid farewell, the truck started to move toward the village of Bernard from the mountains covered with chips on both sides.

Roads disappear due to changes in the landscape.

The original map was no longer valid, so Li Ming could only rely on various sensors to travel quickly.

Ten days later, under the warm sunshine, the open grassland terrain was revealed.

But even near the entrance of the village, no villagers were seen driving Yun Yang deer for grazing.

Not long after, a row of tall wooden fence walls appeared in front.

There are also a large number of residents who continue to build and strengthen it.

Although the village of Bernard is backed by mountains, through continuous development in the village, residential buildings and livestock fences have long been extended to the plains.

Building this kind of ring-shaped fence wall consumes a lot of money and has very limited resistance.

As trucks drove in, the rows of houses were mostly empty except for shops related to hunting and gathering.

After asking, we learned that the Ryūliyuan headquarters built in the mountains has opened temporary shelter for residents.

At this stage, villagers can settle in it.

As for hunting and gathering food, it is entirely the responsibility of the hunter.

The advantage of this strategy is that even if the skeleton dragon captures the village, it can ensure the safety of the villagers to the greatest extent.

The disadvantage is that all production will come to a standstill, and once the reserves are exhausted, there will be no way to maintain it.

Dangdang!

"Please come in. The ruthless team?"

In the dean's office, Vegasa, who was checking the report, was stunned when she saw the three people and two cats at the door.

"Hello Dean Vegasa, the main reason for coming here is a contract. In addition, due to the recent heavy losses of the Cat Liaison Team, we also brought a detailed report on the East Doruma incident."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he placed a thick pile of documents on the table.

"No wonder the information hasn't been sent back for a long time, poor cats."

Vegas sighed.

The road was blocked, and a large amount of intelligence information continued to be transmitted. At this time, the Maomao Liaison Team made extremely frequent dangerous flights and suffered heavy losses.

As he turned, the old dragon man's eyes became more solemn.

One is out of concerns about the future ecology, and the other is that many of the monsters and their ecological performance completely exceeded expectations.

After reading the detailed report and seeing the name of the contract below, Vegasa was stunned.

"Naraku's demon stars, are you here to hunt the skeleton dragon?"

"Yes, so I want to see the intelligence the branch has."

Li Ming confirmed.

"This is it."

shuh~

The document containing the summary information was unfolded by Li Ming, and Chu Ying and Ni Shuang approached each other and started observing together.

"While passing outside the village, I ate nearly a hundred Yun Sheep Deer and five Singing Dragons in one day. I saw the dragon-slaying carcass near the ancient forest, with only bones left. I am currently hunting down two individual Ember Slayers. Kill the dragon."

After Li Ming read the report, he confirmed that Skeleton Dragon's current state was certainly unusual.

"Although I don't know why Zuda issued this kind of contract, if the team wants to give up, they can communicate with me."

Vegasha reminded.

"I was the one who suggested the release."

Li Ming raised his hand and said.

"Is it you? Okay."

"Doesn't Bernard Village need help?"

"It is very much needed, but the current top hunter team is too precious, and the support Ryuuriyuan can provide is very limited~"

Vegasa turned her hands away, lowered her head and sighed helplessly.

At that time, the development and application of airships was seriously hindered by Tianhuilong, causing the entire industry to reach a dead end.

Longli Academy can only gradually transform into a purely academic institution, no longer focusing on recruiting and training hunters.

In addition, in order to deal with the crisis in East Doruma this time, a large number of hunters rushed to fight.

As a result, the Longliyuan headquarters was particularly empty and could no longer provide any strong support.

"Don't worry, Dean, the team will return safely."

Li Ming said with confidence.

"On behalf of Bernard Village and Longliyuan, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. If you want additional remuneration, how about 150 Yun Yang Deer?"

Vegasa also wanted to give a more valuable reward to express her gratitude.

But as far as the current situation of the ruthless team is concerned, the money and materials that Longliyuan can provide are not of great significance to them.

On the contrary, the Yun Yang Deer, a specialty of the village, better reflects the sincerity.

"it is good."

"I don't see anything written in the report. Did you meet him when you were at the scene?"

Vegasha asked tentatively.

"Senior Dewen is also here?"

Li Ming asked unexpectedly.

"Not necessarily, it's okay if I haven't met him."

Vegasa let out a sigh of relief.
