hunt and eat

But this kind of bird is theoretically only the size of an ordinary small bird, and it is impossible to grow to such a large size.

Although the other party didn't seem to regard the flying ship as a target, but it was flying in this direction, Guta hesitated for a moment, and then planned to intercept it.

For him who has long-distance moves such as [Annihilation Bomb], [Refining Empty Bomb], and [Cang Rang Thunder], this is not a difficult task.

Unexpectedly, before he actually made a move, countless dense vines rushed out from the gaps in the forest leaves from the bottom of the forest, and climbed up to a height of 40 meters in one breath.

The super-giant Hatebird, who had no time to dodge, was dragged back into the vast sea of ​​trees without even a single leeway to struggle.

Then all was quiet again.

"Gudu~" Weiwei and Schiff, who was holding the side of the boat with his paws, swallowed in unison.

Then, with a look of fear on his face, he fell backwards several meters away.

"What is this?" Mie Jin wrinkled his face, and clenched the handle of the slashing ax in his hand.

To be honest, seeing such a petite girl holding such a ferocious giant axe, even an old hunter like Zhepu who claimed to be well-informed felt inexplicably discordant.

But now is not the time to think about it.

Taking a sip of his pipe, Zhepu squinted his eyes and said, "Devil vine, or...a gigantic devil vine."

"WTF!?" Guta couldn't hold back for a while, and cursed directly.

What the hell is devil vine?

Isn't that the vines that can be seen everywhere in desert areas?

Is there any similarity to the things in front of me that are as thick as bowls and can take the initiative to rush to the sky to hunt?

"Got it, this [Forest of the Dead] is such a weird and dangerous place."

Pointing to the deep forest below with a serious expression, the old Zhepu snorted meaningfully:

"Whether it's meat eaters or vegetarians, monsters or plants, almost none of them are normal here, and they are all infected by the inexplicable madness of this forest itself."

"In addition, let me remind you, don't look at the size of the hate bird just now, but here, the bigger the body, the lower the ecological niche."

"Those really dangerous guys are not only not big in size, some of them even shrink, but their own abilities and fighting power, without exception, are far stronger than their normal counterparts."

After pouring cold water on the Canglan Star team, seeing that the three people and one cat except Guta all showed hesitation on their faces, Old Zhepu threw out the last sentence.

"If you want me to say, except for this chief and that young lady, you who don't need to participate in the competition, there is no need to take this risk. Just wait until the trial is over."

Old Zhepu persuaded sincerely.

In his opinion, excluding the unfathomable [Lu E] in front of him, or adding that unobtrusive young lady, the others really have a reason to go to [Forest of the Dead] no reply.

The ghost knows why, this year the ancient dragon group will set up the gathering place for the trial here.

Are you really not afraid that the seeds will be damaged here?

All of them are future legendary hunters!

"Well, what you said is generally good, but no matter what, no matter what happens, we should face it together. This is a partner."

Guta leaned on the side of the boat with both hands, looked at the dangerous [Forest of the Dead] below, and smiled heartily.

All of them have come this way.

No, it should be said that every hunter team will encounter such problems more or less.

In a team, there is always a difference between strength and weakness, but that does not mean that when encountering danger, relatively weaker teammates have to retreat to the second line and watch other teammates hunt and fight from the sidelines.

That's not called a teammate, it's just a simple burden.

Real teammates are like-minded people who can rely on each other no matter when and where, and accompany them all the way, and they cannot be separated by the so-called dangerous place in front of them.

not to mention……

"[Forest of the Dead] Well, hehe..."

A playful smile flashed across the corner of Guta's mouth.

"Such an interesting place, don't miss it."

"Do you think so?" As he spoke, Guta turned to look at his teammates.

"That's the reason, I still hope to get some rare materials." Wei Wei muttered nonchalantly, and by the way, she raised the Frost Piao Rose who had just completed her transformation and her style had changed drastically.

"I have prepared a new weapon, the output is hard to say, but the defense is good, hehe..."

"No, what did you do to Nia's [Frost Floating Rose], be careful to make her angry."

I just realized that the heavy crossbow in front of me, which looks extremely bulky, and has an extra layer of a shield-like device in front, is actually Nia's [Frost Floating Rose] ancient tower, and pulled Wei Wei over, wondering. Whispered in her ear.

As he spoke, he still looked at Nia unnaturally, who was still smiling, and suddenly felt shuddering.

"Don't worry, I asked Nia about it before the transformation." Weiwei was very disapproving of this, and was still immersed in the complacency of her new creation.

"You, what I said earlier, Nia's temper is..."

"What's wrong with my temper?"

Before he finished speaking, an infinitely gentle voice came from Guta's ear, which made him tremble on the spot.

Turning his head to look, it was Niya who suddenly appeared behind him as if flashing.

"No...it's nothing, you have a good temper." Guta said angrily.

Seeing that these boys and girls had made up their minds, Old Zhepu sighed and stopped persuading them.

There was even some envy in my heart.

What a team, if he had this kind of partner back then, he wouldn't have...

"Well, all in all..."

After the chat was over, Guta looked at the old Zhepu and Yamanashi, the grandfather and grandson, and said with a smile, "See you next time if we are destined."

After all, he led a group of Canglan Star team members, along the thick ropes released in advance, supported the tightly bound Schiff and Snowball, and gradually disappeared in the boundless and dense green forest. middle.

A few minutes later, the end of the rope loosened, and was quickly retracted by the ship's mechanical device.

"Don't look, it's me too... Teams of this level are completely different from the ones we usually meet, so there is no need to worry about them."

Old Zhepu took a deep breath of his pipe, looked at the side of the boat with a complicated expression, and still stared at his granddaughter below.

"If you want to become a hunter in the future, grandpa will not stop you."

"I just hope that you can find such a good teammate by then, eh~"

Memories of the past flooded into my heart, and with a sigh, the flying ship gradually drove away, and finally disappeared on the distant horizon.

……

Chapter 11 I will always believe, the one who is trusted by my companions!

Pfft!

As soon as she landed, Weiwei, who couldn't stand still, squatted down and fell on the soft haystack. Afterwards, she looked behind her in surprise as if she had been electrocuted.

The scene where the super-giant devil vine preyed on the super-giant hate bird made her feel a bit overwhelmed for a while.

"Don't look at it, that thing is normal withered grass, I beg you to use your perception occasionally."

Guta supported his forehead and said with a headache.

Although Weiwei's talent in combat is not high, her physical fitness is actually not bad. After all, she can grow to a physique of two meters, so she has successfully awakened her perception in the past few months.

Although this is seriously lagging behind in the Canglan Star team, considering that this is an otaku blacksmith who has never seriously trained in combat skills, it is already amazing enough.

Even if ordinary people spend four or five years, they may not be able to awaken this perception as they wish.

But it's a pity that this is the limit. At least for now, there is no trace of awakening true energy on Weiwei's body.

However, Weiwei herself has a noncommittal and indifferent attitude towards this.

In her words, anyway, even if she awakened her true qi, a person like her who has no fighting talent would not be an opponent of a pervert like Guta, so she might as well spend more time researching new equipment.

For the fantasy machine called "Gundam" that Guta mentioned in the chat, she has always been fond of it, always thinking about making this thing one day.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, her technical ability is far from enough.

Maybe [Magic Equipment] Noxie will have a little possibility of realization?

"Okay, okay, what's the next step?" Nia helped up the "giantess" Weiwei, who was slumped, and looked around.

Every direction is similar, full of unrecognizable plants and dense bushes, as if a group of people are surrounded by this dead forest that seems to be alive.

However, it is mostly an illusion.

After all, the forest is a dead thing after all, how can there be such a saying as whether it is alive or not?

"The ancient dragon group just passed the guild channel in advance and gave each of our reserve a whistle, and didn't say anything else."

Guta raised the black-brown whistle in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.

Then there was a twisting and swinging punch, which smashed a blue-black bug the size of a washbasin suddenly from behind into a liquid, and even the tree trunk further back was dyed a bright blue. .

"There are so many strange things in this ghost place."

"Would you like to brag about it?" Qiao Qiao squatted down, glanced at the insect corpse with no bones left, and suggested in a low voice.

Anyway, there is such a top combat force as Guta here, even if it attracts some monsters, it should be able to solve it smoothly, right?

For this captain who will not let everyone down from beginning to end, the entire Canglan Star team has almost blind confidence.

Mie Jin stared at the little whistle in his neck, hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and began to inhale vigorously.

In the next second, an incomparably loud Qingming sounded suddenly in this dead forest.

At the same time, they took off their weapons cautiously. Except for the ancient tower, almost all of the Canglanxing team stood back to back, staring at different directions.

After the whistle sounded, the forest returned to a suffocating silence, as if nothing happened.

But that's the scariest thing.

Normally, would a primeval forest of this size be so quiet?

Still after such a loud sound.

"Oh, interesting..."

Guta, who also didn't hear any sound, suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the forest.

He seemed to "see" something approaching here rapidly, and he could faintly feel it no matter its position or general size.

It's a wonderful feeling.

And it is different from the usual sensory release, it is a special "vision" coming from under the feet, which seems to be mixed with a thick feeling like mud.

A blurry, black-and-white picture composed of countless simple lines appeared directly in his mind, as if reflecting ultrasonic waves.

That seems to be the outline of the surrounding terrain?

Since my [Earth Control] ability transformed into an ability with no skill level last month, some inexplicable changes seem to have taken place.

Perhaps it is a mutation caused by the interaction with [Storm Perception]?

Guta pondered in his mind uncertainly, and kept his hands on, took off the pain hook and sickle behind him, and pointed sideways at the direction where the foreign object he had just "taken a quick glance" was approaching.

Although he doesn't know the essence and cause of this ability, Guta still believes [-]% in himself who is trusted by his companions.

Holding their breath, everyone stood on the spot for more than a minute.

During this period, there were still no creatures or changes.

But even so, the entire team of the Canglanxing team still clenched their weapons tightly, without any slack.

Patience is a quality that is generally scarce for most hunters in recent years, but at the level of top hunters, it shows a wonderful inverse proportion.

The more powerful the monster, the more time it takes to do pre-investigation and data collection. Even at the level of natural disasters and ancient dragons, it is not uncommon for a battle to last for months.

It all comes with poise and patience.

Once you are eager for success, unless you can really crush the monster with hard power, otherwise the mission will fail at least, and you will die on the spot at worst.

In terms of fault tolerance, humans are naturally at an absolute disadvantage compared to monsters.

Three minutes later, as the bushes in front of the ancient pagoda were slammed open, a monster like a giant python roared and rushed towards the ancient pagoda that was close at hand.

"Huh? This is the first time I've seen this kind of monster."

With a gasp in surprise, Guta turned sideways to avoid the beak-shaped mouth bitten by the opponent, and the fist wrapped in black thunder light slammed into the opponent's abdomen in the next second.
