Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

September suddenly realized a problem.

When did I start to become so dependent on Xingjian?

It was obvious that I had always been alone before Xingjian came.

He eats alone, hunts alone, forges swords alone, and sleeps alone.

I should have been accustomed to loneliness a long time ago.

However, in just two weeks, Xingjian pulled me out of the quagmire of loneliness, and I never wanted to go back.

"Then let's go home first."

After patting the shoulders, Instructor Xiye stood between the two of them and put his arm on them, looking like a very familiar brother.

"What do you mean we go home?" Jiu Yue narrowed her eyes helplessly: "Master, where are you going back to?"

"Of course I'm going to your house."

"Ah, you still want to come to my house?" Jiu Yue looked disgusted.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's been three years since we last met. As an apprentice, aren't you going to treat your master to a meal? I don't remember ever teaching you to be such a cold and heartless person, September. You should at least treat your master to dinner."

"Ah, you still want to eat dinner?" September's expression became even more disgusted.

"Have a couple of drinks with me."

"I don't drink."

"Where's Xingjian?"

"He doesn't drink either."

"So what did you two do at home tonight?" Xiye opened her right eye wide in disbelief. "Just rolling in the sheets?"

"Oh, so you two are in that kind of relationship?" Xiao Ting's dark cheeks were instantly flushed red.

That’s right, before this, Xiao Ting didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter.

After all, before this, he had always treated Xingjian as a girl.

Now Xiao Ting thought about it carefully again, Xingjian and Jiuyue, haven’t these two been living together?

This is even more excessive than the hugging between Xingjian and I!

"It's okay, Xiaoting." Rina calmly touched Xiaoting's head which was smoking due to overload.

"What's not important?"

"If it's September, it doesn't matter."

"why?"

"Because it's September."

“(;′?`)?”

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

As pure as Xiaoting is, she probably doesn't know Jiuyue's sexual orientation yet.

……

October Knife Shop.

In the end, Jiu Yuelai was unable to stop Instructor Xiye from forcing his way into his home.

Looking at the various swords hanging on the wall, Xiye couldn't help but think of the fire sword that Xingjian used with brute force when he was fighting against him, and it didn't break even after taking a heavy blow.

"It seems that you have inherited your mother's craft perfectly."

"I still have a long way to go." Jiu Yue has never been complacent about the road of sword forging.

No, no, no, you have completely surpassed your mother.

Of course, Xiye didn't say this out loud, but kept it in his heart.

Only by constantly pursuing higher perfection can craftsmen reach the state of understanding the realm of "principle".

Having the inner fantasy mother as a goal will be more beneficial to Jiuyue's growth on the sword-forging path.

"October, she is indeed a good woman~" Xiye couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, are you here to reminisce about the past? I don't want to talk about anything too serious."

"Okay. At least make me some tea first."

"There's no tea at home, only cold water. Would you like some?"

"You guys are living in such a tight spot? Come on, give me a drink."

"Tsk! What a hassle."

"You bastard, you're not even going to give Master a sip of cold water!"

It can be seen that Jiuyue regretted saying that there was cold water at home.

Not being picky, Instructor Xiye sat directly next to the boiler in the workshop. With his flexible cross-legged movements, it was impossible to tell that he had a mechanical prosthetic limb hidden in his pants.

"Here, drink it." Jiu Yue took a water jar, filled it with cold water and handed it to Xiye.

"I know, I know. There aren't even cups for guests, right?"

Even so, he didn't say he liked her and still stayed at home shamelessly. Jiuyue probably understood what Instructor Xiye meant.

"Master, do you have something to say?"

Xiye took a big gulp from the water jar and said, "There must be someone else who has something to say."

"Is there anyone else?"

There are only three people in this room.

Xiye turned his only remaining right eye and looked at the third person: "Xingjian, have you really noticed something unusual? It may threaten the existence of the village."

When Xing Jian spoke today, only Xiye understood the meaning.

Because she has also obtained secret information from the Xuanxiao Hunting Group in recent times.

"Yeah." Xingjian nodded, but didn't say it clearly.

"Just say what you noticed, why keep it so mysterious?" Jiu Yue said, her hands on her hips.

"Maybe he doesn't dare to say it. After all, it's too scary to say it out loud."

Xiye placed his elbows on his prosthetic knees, supported his cheeks with his fists, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Or perhaps it's a threat that can't be resolved even if it's spoken out. That's why Hoshimi didn't intend to say it. Then let me guess~"

Xiye turned his head and looked out the window. Although he only had one eye that could be used, at that moment he seemed to be able to see very far.

"Xingjian, you're worried about the dragons in the distance, right?"

Chapter 58: The Trampled Village

"Xingjian, you're worried about the dragons in the distance, right?"

As soon as Instructor Xiye finished speaking, he could clearly see the ice-blue pupils in Xingjian's eyes twitching twice.

Xingjian was surprised that he was not the only one who noticed the group of dragons a hundred miles away.

Is the range of human perception really that far?

"Look at the look in Xingjian's eyes, I think I guessed it right~"

"Instructor Xiye, how do you know about the dragon group?"

"Hey, this is exactly the question I wanted to ask you. I was just wondering, could it be that Xingjian's intelligence network is stronger than mine?"

Intelligence network, the skill of human races to transmit information to each other.

Xingjian doesn't have any intelligence network, he just relies on his eyes and ears.

But Xingjian is already very familiar with how to deal with things like this that involve special physical abilities - just keep silent.

I have the right to remain silent.

And this trick works well most of the time.

Seeing that Xingjian had no intention of continuing, Xiye could only continue the topic himself.

"Just yesterday, I received intelligence from an old friend of the Black Xiao Hunting Group. Originally, this information was a national secret. If it were disseminated carelessly, it would definitely cause widespread panic."

Instructor Xiye pulled out a card from his waist, placed it on the floor of the workshop, and tapped the card lightly.

"This is a map made from the sponge of a water beast, and can be stored in a card. This is a map of the border of Xuanyue Country, which is near the snow-capped mountains."

In the three-dimensional map that slowly expands from the card, you can clearly see the towering white snow-capped mountains and the two villages next to the snow-capped mountains.

"This is Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village, and they are less than 500 miles apart."

Instructor Xiye's finger followed the landmarks of the two villages and pointed north on the map.

"This is the Sun-Warm Village and the Moon-Cold Village."

"Oh, Sun and Moon Village, it's very famous!" Jiu Yue suddenly remembered: "The specialty dumplings there are very delicious! I ate them once when I was a child. It's so nostalgic. I really want to eat them again."

Unlike the complicated relationship between Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village, the two villages of Riyue are friendly and supportive of each other. The villagers of the two villages have worked together to build the village into a snow-capped mountain scenic spot suitable for tourism.

Specialty hot springs, specialty drinks, and specialty meatballs are very popular among foreign tourists.

"No chance, Jiuyue." Instructor Xiye interrupted Jiuyue's fantasy coldly: "I guess you can only continue to miss her from now on."

"why?"

"According to the intelligence we received yesterday, the Sun and Moon villages were razed to the ground by a herd of dragons during the night."

"!!!" Jiu Yue's pupils trembled, and for a moment she found it difficult to process such explosive information.

"What does it mean that the village was flattened by a group of dragons? Could it be that the entire village was..."

"The entire village was completely destroyed. Because the stampeding dragons suddenly appeared at night, the villagers had no time to evacuate, so there were no survivors. When they were later discovered, only ruins remained."

Instructor Xiye used the tips of his fingernails to cross out the marks of the two villages on the map.

"Hunters, old men, women, children, even the local dumplings you missed so much, all were destroyed. The Sun and Moon villages have completely vanished from the map and the history of the human world."

Maybe adding the specialty dumplings can make the overly heavy topic a little lighter?

Well, it's not relaxing at all.

That was two entire villages, just like Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village. The villagers who were still struggling to make a living one day, disappeared under the dragon's claws the next day.

"But, but. Sun and Moon Village is still quite far away from us, right? It shouldn't affect us?" Jiu Yue's voice inevitably carried a hint of luck.

"If you only look at the distance, it's like this." Xiye continued to slide his fingers on the map.

"According to the information obtained from the remains of the shrine's pendulum by the investigators who went to the scene, the shrine in Rinuan Village was crushed by the dragons around 3:4 a.m. a week ago, while the pendulum remains of the shrine in Yueleng Village stopped at : a.m. a week ago."

Different time points represent the order in which the two villages encountered the dragons.

Then draw arrows on the map according to the order, and you can easily analyze the direction of the dragon group's movement.

Sun-warming Village → Moon-cooling Village → → → → →

If the dragon's migration route does not deviate too much, then the end point of the extended arrow on the map is it.

→Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village.

Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village are only one mile apart and will definitely be attacked by the dragons at the same time.

Instructor Xiye asked, "Do you know why Xingjian and I didn't want to speak up at the guild? Would speaking up be helpful?"

In fact, even after returning to the workshop, Xingjian still didn't say a word, but Xiye made up his mind and put Xingjian in the same camp as himself.

But the answer is very realistic and cruel.

Is it useful to say it?

What is the concept of a dragon group?
