Chapter 980 Departure Day

Xuanxiao's current "identity" is very complicated.

First of all, she is a hunter with a strength of about two stars.

Although he still has the title of "trainee" due to various reasons, after all, after being trained by Gale for so long, monsters such as the slut bird can still be solved independently. As for the three-star monsters such as the poisonous demon bird, be careful Some self-protection problems are not big.

She also has the identity of an investigator at the Institute of Ecology. Her biological armor and background as a resident of the Sea of ​​Trees have given her extraordinary adaptability in the wild, so the director is very fond of her.

At the same time, she is the young lady of the Sterling family, the new shareholder and sponsor of the investigation team. Although she is not her biological child, judging from the letters sent from the Old Continent, she seems to be more favored than a real young master.

The squad leader of the supplies team who had been working in the black market nodded and bowed when he saw her.

Now she has become the breeder of the Feng Piaolong cub, and she eats and sleeps with the little Feng Piaolong. This is a project that the Institute of Ecology pays great attention to, and she is now basically the project leader.

"So this is the reason why you abandoned your disciples and went out to play by yourself, nya?"

At the dinner table, Pork Chops questioned Gale.

"That's right!" Gale raised his chin, showing no sign of denial or shame.

"So, the little guy's current focus is not on 'becoming a hunter'. There's no point in forcing her away. She's almost strong enough to protect herself, that's all."

Gale waved his hand, "I announce that Xuanxu is out!"

Anhir: "."

It was unclear for a moment who of the master and apprentice had failed whom.

"Look away." Gordon patted Ancil on the back, "Xuanxuan can't change her equipment. With her butterfly armor, it's difficult and too dangerous to become a high-star hunter.

The direction of investigator or breeding researcher is actually more suitable for her. "

Anhir sighed silently.

He is a typical perfectionist, either do nothing or go all the way to do the best.

Although reason told him that Xuanxu's choice was the right one, he was still not used to this kind of "giving up halfway."

"Have you reported to the commander-in-chief that you are going to set off with us?" Hayata asked Gale.

After all, the period of this free exploration mission is very long. As a seven-star shooter, Gale is also a very important combat force for the investigation team.

"I told you."

Gale shook his wavy hair to his face and said, "The commander-in-chief said that the target we are pursuing is dangerous, and it is a good thing to have sufficient combat power.

However, he also said that he hopes that we can try our best to help the scholars in the research base, such as solving the monsters that threaten the research base.

After all, few hunters can pass by them, so there may be a lot of trouble. "

"That's natural." Gordon nodded.

Their team took away half of the special investigation team's combat power, and they have been gone for several months. If they don't want to solve some problems for the research base along the way, they are a bit ignorant.

"In this case, we must prepare more ammunition." Anhil frowned and calculated silently.

"The part of the ammunition that targets the Nergigante cannot be moved. In addition, carry more normal ammunition, three bases? Or five bases, this should be able to cope with most situations."

Gale glanced sideways at him, "How are you going to bring so much ammunition?"

"Gale wind." Ancier's answer was simple.

"We're going to ride on a pterosaur on the way, right?" Gale tugged on Liefeng's ears, "Can this guy be taken flying?"

"No, it's carrying the baggage and running underneath it." Anhil said matter-of-factly, "I will sprinkle scented liquid all the way during the flight so that it won't get lost."

"Spreading smelly liquid all the way?" Gale pretended to be horrified.

Anhil stared at her and said nothing.

This kind of problem is not worthy of his explanation. When faced with this kind of female gangster, ignoring it is the best choice.

Failing to tease Ancil, Gale smacked his lips in boredom.

She turned around and hugged Gale Feng's big head, "Can you bring me a few boxes of ammunition too? My sister will buy you delicious food!"

"Wow!" Liefeng agreed without even thinking.

Anhil narrowed his eyes, preparing to add more weight to this guy who was eating everything inside and outside.

"Okay, you two don't take turns bullying Lifeng." Hayata was helpless.

She could already foresee the miserable situation of Gale carrying a mountain of ammunition boxes, her limbs trembling, and her steps difficult.

"Didn't the leader of the research team say that the Lu Coral Platform is rich in products, and many ammunition blending materials can be easily collected.

Bring less finished ammunition, just bring the necessary materials, and then collect and blend them when you get there. This way, the journey will be easier, and more ammunition will be produced in the end. "

Gale Wind came back and looked at Hayata gratefully.

"This is a good idea." Anhil smiled and stroked Gale Feng's dog's head.

"This way I can carry an extra crossbow, and the saved weight can be spent on gunpowder, hehehehe."

"Wow."

In the next few days, Gordon and others were very busy.

Not only equipment, ammunition, but also various props and supplies.

The preparations before the trip were far more troublesome than they originally thought.

Such as job transfer.

During Gordon's absence from the Stars, the responsibility of leader of the Special Investigation Team temporarily fell on Evelyn's shoulders.

As the oldest hunter in the special investigation team, Evelin, who has rich experience and a calm personality, must be able to do the job.

Ansir also entrusted the pterosaur to the couple, hoping that they could help take care of the brainless girl.

Among the hunters of the special investigation team who stayed in the Star Base, only Evelyn and her husband were reliable.

Entrust it to others, and then turn into a drunkard fisherman

After everything was arranged, the day of the long journey finally arrived.

The hunters set off on the pterosaurs and flew all the way north.

It only took a whole day for them to cross the ancient tree forest and come to the Grand Canyon, in front of the mountain range they passed when they caught the acid pterosaur.

However, the convenient and fast air journey ended here.

With the flying ability of the pterosaurs, it is not difficult to fly over the Grand Canyon, but the Grand Canyon is the territory of the acid pterosaurs.

If you fly over rashly, you are likely to be besieged by a group of acid pterosaurs.

When flying with people, the pterosaurs, whose speed and flexibility are greatly reduced, can't escape the pursuit of the acid pterosaurs at all. They are simply food delivered to the door.

Therefore, riding a pterosaur across the Grand Canyon is a suicide act, which also makes the Grand Canyon a real natural barrier that divides the New World.

There is no shortcut to cross this barrier, and you can only climb it with your bare hands.

Otherwise, those poor scholars would not have been trapped for more than ten years after the airship of the third group crashed into the Coral Plateau.

After camping at the foot of the mountain for a day and a night, Liefeng, who was carrying a pile of baggage across the ancient tree forest, finally arrived.

Seeing that it was half-dead tired, it stuck out its tongue after lying down, turned its belly, and refused to move. Gordon was embarrassed to let it help him carry armor over the mountain.

Even though the Fanghound is famous for its outstanding endurance, it can't be used like this.

With good food and drink, Liefeng took a day off, and the journey started again after nightfall the next day.

With the help of invisible clothing and the cover of night, the hunters climbed over the ridge, carefully avoided the acid pterosaurs that were sleeping on the mountain wall, and entered the Grand Canyon without any danger.

Next, they will follow the Grand Canyon until they reach a "relatively easy pass" marked on the map.

But it is still a steep mountain with an angle of more than 70 degrees and a height of more than 1,000 meters.

On the other side of the mountain is the core area of ​​the New World, the Coral Plateau, which is famous for its amazing biodiversity.
