hunt and eat

Qiao Qiao said with confidence.

"The wind will die in no time, trust me."

As if the words followed suit, the moment Qiao Qiao finished speaking, the overwhelming sandstorm stopped immediately.

It was as abrupt as if the traces of existence had been erased directly by an unknown god.

Chapter 6 About the salons who opened their salons on the sand dunes

Guta and Nia's big eyes meet small eyes

After a long time, he looked at Qiao Qiao with some embarrassment, "What is the reason for this?"

He really didn't get it.

The last second was as big as a tornado passing through, but the next second it was calm?

Are you putting this card bug?

"I am not sure as well."

"But this strange wind has existed for many years, just get used to it."

Qiao Qiao said honestly, then took off the boots on his feet, turned his head sideways, and kept kicking his head against his head.

A large amount of yellow sand shook out from its pair of protruding ears, and after a while, it gathered into a mini hill.

"Qiao Qiao, I'll make you a windproof earmuff later, it's not good for your ears if you keep going like this." Wei Wei said.

"Ah, thank you very much. I really need this, so I won't refuse." Qiaoqiao bowed to Weiwei sternly, and then hurriedly put on the boots.

If it wasn't for shaking the sand in his ears, he wouldn't want to step on the sand with bare feet at [-] or [-] degrees Celsius.

Cultivation is not about self-abuse, it also needs to talk about methods.

"Jojo, where are we going next?"

Nia glanced at the map in her hand, and decided to seek professional help.

"Let's go to the north, there is a shelter from the sun, and there are often salons there."

Qiao Qiao licked his somewhat dry hair with his tongue, and ran forward first.

After turning over about six or seven sand dunes, they finally saw the trace of Sharon near a huge rock wall.

The location where the monster was located was a depression directly below them. Because it was backed by a huge rock wall and the sun could not shine, a rather large shadow was formed there.

Groups of salons kept poking their heads out of the shadows, breathing in the outside air.

The creature Sharon, according to the research report of the Scholars team, was born after the ichthyosaurs adapted to the desert environment in the ancient times.

Their bodies have obvious traces of ichthyosaurs, but perhaps in order to adapt to different environments, most of their skeletons have a structure similar to that of a flying dragon, which seems to make it easier for them to dive into the sand for cruising.

It is worth mentioning that although they look like fish and can "swim" in the sand like fish, in fact they cannot breathe in the sand, and they have to drill out of the ground to take a breath from time to time. Similar to whales on Earth.

"Have you seen King Sharon?" Nia looked at the squinting ancient tower beside her.

Among the four people and one cat present, he with the [Eagle Eye] skill is undoubtedly the one with the best eyesight.

There is also a little episode here.

Perhaps because of the principle of what you eat to make up for you, after Guta ate the local monster eyeball dish in Dede Village (Nia and Weiwei vomited after the first bite, but they still enjoyed eating it after they were completely wiped out) , its own [Eagle Eye] skill was upgraded to LV3 at once.

This can be regarded as an inspiration to Guta, and perhaps he can upgrade his abilities in other ways.

"It seems that I didn't see it... wait..." Guta said halfway, his eyes suddenly became very sharp.

At a place closest to the rock wall, he noticed a tail that was much larger than ordinary Sharon, and it was slapping the ground bit by bit.

"I might have seen the guy."

Guta said in a low voice.

Then he picked up the Taotie Taidao and prepared to pounce forward.

Qiao Qiao hurriedly stopped him with a small cat's paw.

"Do not impulse!"

Qiao Qiao pointed to the densely packed group of salons below, and explained; "The number of this group of salons is a bit large. We must first find a way to weaken their numbers, or directly attract the king of salons. In short, you can't do it directly."

Guta recalled the scene of being chased and killed by four Qiankoulong last time, and rubbed the back of his head resentfully.

"Bait tactics..."

"I'm afraid I can't do it with Mieji, because of the awakening of the bloodline, the fluctuation of the dragon power on our bodies will probably arouse their vigilance."

Guta glanced at the dragon horn on Mieji's head, then looked at his own claws, and said helplessly.

Then the only suitable candidate left is...

Nia at the side glanced at Weiwei who was staring at her, and said softly: "Let me go, Weiwei, you are in charge of fire support."

Scratching her head embarrassingly, Weiwei made up her mind that she must hurry up and exercise when she goes back.

With her physical condition, it is quite hopeful that she can reach the level of most hunters.

"Then what about me... what about me?" Qiao Qiao jumped up and down anxiously as he saw that he had no task assigned.

The main reason why he came with the team was to hunt monsters with Guta and the others, so it's no wonder he wasn't in a hurry now.

Guta looked at Qiao Qiao who was not as high as his knees when he stood up with some difficulty.

With this size, King Sharon should be able to swallow dozens of them in one bite.

"Qiaoqiao, you just..." Holding his head and thinking for a long time, he said with some hesitation: "Just help me attack Sharon King together."

If Qiao Qiao is by his side, he can take care of it more or less.

After all, Sharon King's own strength is actually not strong, and their team has been failing in previous missions, but it's just because they couldn't find each other.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Qiao Qiao looked serious, and made a salute gesture with her pink flesh pad against her head.

"Then... I'm on!"

Niya waved her hand, put down the heavy crossbow behind her, and rushed out with two short knives in hand.

The weight of the heavy crossbow somewhat hinders the movement, and the first priority is to act as a bait lightly.

As Nia gradually approached, several Sharons swimming happily in the sand instantly looked at the girl's position.

As monsters that usually move underground, their hearing is amazing, especially for the sounds on the ground, they can basically reach the level of downwind ears in the conventional sense.

Without thinking too much, the three-headed salon directly sneaked into the ground and started moving in the direction where Nia was.

Although she couldn't see the other party in her line of sight, Nia could clearly feel that something was rapidly approaching her.

This is not because she can feel the vibration on the soles of her feet, but mainly because of her own alertness to danger.

This is what hunters commonly call perception.

Basically, as long as they have experienced a certain amount of hunting and encountered many crises, hunters will gradually acquire this kind of self-instinct similar to the sixth sense.

It is not simply hearing or seeing, but sensing the existence of the other party. This is a relatively illusory concept, similar to a weakened version of the mind-eye ability.

Originally, a novice like Nia who had only been a hunter for a few months would take two years to gradually develop this ability.

However, on the one hand, Nia's own talent is not weak, it is better to say that compared to those ordinary hunters, she can already be counted as a genius.

She hadn't been outstanding before, only because she had such a super-standard "monster" as Guta by her side.

On the other hand, because they have experienced many difficult hunts with the ancient tower, even if they are not the main force of the confrontation, the powerful strength of the monsters is still true.

Not to mention, Nia also participated in the whole battle of the village crab, which was a veritable ancient dragon level hunt.

Based on the above points, before Nia left Paley, she had already mastered perception, a necessary ability for experienced hunters.

As if sensing something, the girl suddenly rolled backwards.

Sharon, with its mouth wide open, broke through the ground where she had previously stood.

Without the slightest intention of staying, Niya turned and ran towards the team's ambush position.

……

Chapter 7 Well done, recruits!

Four faintly visible small sand dunes quickly chased Nia.

Because she was still not fully used to the soft terrain of the desert, Nia's speed was only [-]% of her usual speed.

Compared with the salons that swim directly under the ground, it can be said that there is no advantage.

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, she didn't mean to panic at all.

After all, she has a group of reliable partners, doesn't she?

In the next second, a series of violent gunpowder bombs, like fire meteors falling from the sky, landed on the advancing route of the salons.

Far beyond the power of an ordinary ballista, it directly blasted a Sharon out of the ground, howling and rolling on the hot ground.

One of its wings was directly blown off, and now it can no longer drill into the ground at all.

This is basically a declaration of death.

Even if you don't care about it, under the horrific direct heat of the Dede Desert, this Sharon probably won't escape death.

"Weiwei, you're pretty good at shooting, have you practiced before?" Guta looked at Weiwei who raised the muzzle of the cannon and pretended to be blowing green smoke beside him with some surprise.

"Slightly understand...slightly understand~"

He said so, but at this moment, Weiwei's face and humility were completely out of line, which could be called an arrogant expression.

"..."

Too lazy to look at this guy's proud look, Guta nodded to Miejue and Qiaoqiao beside him.

The next moment, two people and one cat rushed out from the back of the dune.

Intersecting with Nia, Guta took out the knife with both hands, and stabbed fiercely into the oncoming small sand dune.

A mournful howl came from the ground, and Guta's wrist holding the handle of the knife turned and lifted, and his big arm exerted strength instantly.

In the next second, Sharon, whose mouth was pierced, was dragged out of the ground by him.

Beside him, the excited Qiao Qiao let out a meow, jumped up from the ground in an instant, and pierced Sharon's almost useless eyes fiercely with the dagger.

Because of swimming on the ground all year round, Sharon's eyes have basically degenerated.

Although it is not completely blind, it is more objective to evaluate it as amblyopia.

But even so, the eye is still a vital part of every living thing.

A large amount of blood spurted out, Sharon struggled violently, and a big tail directly knocked away the Elu cat that was half hanging on his head.

Falling to the ground in a state of embarrassment, Qiao Qiao, who looked like a ball of wool, stood up instantly, wiped his little face covered with sand, and was about to pounce on it again.

"Enough, Jojo, it's done."

Guta withdrew the Taidao from Sharon's chest and abdomen, and said softly.

Having been pierced through the heart, the Sharon fell silent almost instantly.

"I can still fight."

Jojo said in a low voice with some stubbornness.

Shaking his head, Guta knelt down and looked at this somewhat stubborn Elu cat, "Jojo, remember, if you really want to be a real hunter..."

"Then you have to understand when to go and when not to go."

"This is responsible for yourself and the lives of your companions."

Guta's tone was a little heavy, and Qiao Qiao's protruding ears drooped for a while.

In the next second, a big hand covered Ai Lumao's head.

"However, as a novice hunter, you are doing pretty well."

Looking at Qiao Qiao's slightly surprised face, Guta gave a thumbs up, and smiled showing his white teeth, "The fact that you hit the monster's vital part with one sword shows that you are still very talented."

After being affirmed for the first time, Qiao Qiao blushed and stomped her feet happily.
