Hunter's Honeymoon Handbook

Chapter 21 Moving forward · 2

It is 110KM away from the east coast where Queen Ant is located.

After a week of non-stop driving on camels, Bao Kuer and his party came to the highland Gobi in the eastern forest of NGL.

Pence sat behind Baokuer, put his arms around his waist, rested his head on his shoulder, and silently watched the rolling mountains behind him.

Dust kicked up by the camel caravan blurred vision and distorted the fiery sun in the sky.

Pence's arms around Baoku'er's waist tightened.

"Hey, Bokuer, is the unknown creature just ahead?"

She straightened the big crooked hat on her head with her hands, and then stroked her long hair that was blown by the wind.

"Well, I can't be wrong. According to the news, it is the east coast area of ​​NGL. As long as we enter the endless forest in front, we will be in the eastern area. We can start searching from there."

As the camel team climbed over a rocky hill, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.

Bao Kuer pointed to the dark green forest line that spread across the horizon far ahead, and turned back excitedly and said to Pence.

"Well, yes, it's almost here."

Pence's frowning brows stretched a little, but then they shrank again.

[Very disturbed. 】

She caressed her chest, and the heart inside had been beating uncharacteristically since the moment they set foot on the Gobi.

【So sad. 】

She looked up at the forest line that Bakuer was pointing at, and felt a tight pain in her chest.

In a trance, the long line of dark green and almost thick black is like a long and narrow crack that chooses to swallow people, ready to swallow all life that enters its body at any time.

[I don't want to go, I don't want to go to that place, as if something is warning me, but...]

She looked up at Bao Kuer's side face full of expectations, for a long time, she lowered her head.

[No...it must be me thinking too much, maybe it's the fear caused by my lack of strength, I can't trouble him. 】

Thinking of this, she relaxed her body, threw herself forward, and buried her face deeply on Bao Kuer's straight back.

[Yes, that's it, Pence, you're overthinking. This time there must be no problem. Besides, we discussed it before, so we won't go too deep. This time, it's just a rough investigation. 】

[Besides, Bao Kuer is a professional hunter who can 'read', and is very powerful. 】

[Yes, that's it, don't worry. 】

Similarly, the straight line of Ant Queen is in the other direction, at 150KM.

The three of Kate are ready to go.

There was an endless wet grassland in front of me. I stood at the junction of the grassland and the river beach and waved goodbye to the guide.

Reluctantly, Marnie put her head on my chest, I hugged its head, kissed its forehead, and patted its rough mane.

"Okay, it's time to say goodbye."

I rubbed my cheek against Marnie's horse face.

Huiya and her father waved us goodbye.

"The road ahead is difficult for us, but for you, it should be a trivial matter."

She laughed and covered her face, which was flushed red by the strong wind, with her hands.

I nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. After all, you are the employer. This is the work we should do. Huh, it's a bit cold. You are all so warm. Let me rely on you."

Huiya stepped forward and gave me a big hug. I froze for a moment, and hurriedly urged Nian to wrap her whole body, isolating the strong wind on the edge of the grassland.

"Well... I can't feel the wind at all. This thing called [Nian] is incredible."

Huiya buried her head and rubbed my shoulder, closed her eyes, and let out a sigh.

I scratched my hair a little shyly.

Huiya leaned against her for a while, and after feeling her slightly cold body warming up, she reluctantly let go of her hug, and blinked gratefully at me.

"Xiaojie is really a gentle person."

After she finished saying this, while I was in a daze and didn't pay attention, she quickly stretched her head over and kissed me on the cheek.

I covered my face reflexively and stared blankly at her.

Hui Ya giggled, didn't say a word, just turned her head and ran to her horse, turned on the horse, and kicked her legs to drive the horse away.

I stared blankly at her away.

Suddenly, there was another warm body in my arms, and I looked down, just in time to see Qi Ya slipping into my arms with a short body, raising his head and blinking his big eyes innocently, looking at me from bottom to top .

"Xiao~Jie~I'm so cold too~"

"???"

I trembled all over, and slapped Qi Ya's coquettish face away with a slap.

"What are you doing, Qi Ya, it's disgusting."

"Hmmmm???"

Qi Ya was pressed against his face by me, so he could only stretch out his hands and wave them helplessly.

Kate watched from the side, almost unable to hold back her serious face.

At this time, a sound of flapping wings reached our ears and attracted our attention.

It's the messenger eagle.

Since technological products are not allowed in the territory of NGL, when we are in the territory, we can only use the most primitive communication tool, the eagle, to transmit information to the logistics personnel on the edge of NGL to exchange information.

Kate raised her left arm, let the eagle land on her forearm, and then took out the letter tied to the eagle's leg.

"Ok?"

Kate raised the letter paper in her hand, indicating that my friend sent it to me, so I dragged Qi Ya to take it and saw that it was a reply letter from Kura.

When I saw this letter, I thought of the hard work that Qi Ya wiped away, and I couldn't help but gritted my teeth.

Qi Ya looked away a little guilty.

There is nothing special about Coola's letters, they are all about some daily life, but from the information revealed between the lines, we can also see that he has gradually stepped out of the shadow of the brigade.

We first smiled, then sighed.

Through the practice of GI, we know the existence of the nemesis master, and now maybe Kuroro has been taken away by the nemesis master to remove the mind imposed by Ku La and restore his mind ability.

Hope Kura won't become depressed again because of this.

After reading Kurapika's letter, the next thing we see is Izzy's letter.

Issie is the former gum-chewing red-haired girl, a punk-style technical geek who can't tell from the outside.

All our information and itinerary about this operation are organized by her, she is a very reliable partner.

"Well, the target hasn't moved for the time being. Issie and the others are going to collect information on the stumps of unknown animals, so they will temporarily leave for two days and proceed in the original direction... Will the Hunter Association send someone soon?"

He glanced at the content on the letter paper and frowned.

"It seems that this is a difficult thing to handle."

Qi Ya got rid of my clutches and slipped over to read the letter together.

Just judging from the news, it seems that this incident was not as simple as imagined, and it actually alarmed the Hunter Association.

Thinking of this, the three of us cast a shadow over our hearts.

At the same time, there is a small fishing village on the east coast of NGL.

In the evening, the door of a wooden house was wide open, but there was no one inside.

The two women working in the field picked two vegetable leaves, accidentally saw the open door, looked at each other, and both sighed in unison.

"Oh, how pitiful, the child of that family has been lost for two days."

"Yeah, I haven't come back yet. The mother of that family went to search in the forest every day. She spent a whole day looking for it. I don't think she has eaten in the past two days."

"The father of that family went out to sea a few years ago and never came back. There are only three orphans and widows struggling to survive. If there are no children now, how will they live?"

"A sin."

The two women shook their heads, full of sympathy for the family they were talking about.

"By the way, I remember that the sons of those families in the west helped to find it. Alas, I don't know how it got lost. These children in this area have been familiar with it for a long time."

"That's right, I hope I can get it back... Shhh—"

Suddenly, a fat woman saw a swaying thin figure at the edge of the bushes with sharp eyes. She quickly waved her hand to signal the other woman to shut up, and she lowered her head to continue the farm work in hand.

That figure was a woman with a haggard face and a trance-like expression. She was also the mother mentioned by the two women before.

The mother in other people's mouth hobbled, slowly walked to the door of her own room, staring at the empty back room in a daze.

She raised her foot, but she was still unable to enter this familiar yet unfamiliar residence.

The laughter of her son and daughter echoed vaguely in her ears.

The mother stared blankly at the door for a while, her abrupt knees softened, and she knelt down in front of the door of her own room, covering her face with her hands, and began to break down and cry.

The setting sun is like blood.

The women working in the fields couldn't bear to look away.

"Did your children go to help find it too..."

An old woman asked a middle-aged woman beside her in a low voice.

The middle-aged woman nodded, raised her hand to shake the dirt on the radish in her hand, and put the carefully selected radish into her back basket.

"A total of four young people have gone, and it's time to come back, ah, I'm back."

She struggled to open her small eyes, and waved her hands towards the dark bushes in the distance.

A tall figure appeared there, judging from his short haircut, it seemed to be his own son.

She waved her hand to call several times, but saw that her son didn't respond at all, so she complained, put down the back basket, rubbed her hand on the apron, and ran over in small steps.

"Ouch, you child, why don't you say no."

Holding a small vegetable basket in her hand, she ran all the way, complaining, and gradually approached the bushes.

"Come here quickly, your uncle is back, let's eat today... huh?"

On the way to get closer to her son, she found something wrong.

His son seemed to be much taller and stronger than usual?

Could it be someone else's son?

Thinking of this, she gradually slowed down, stopped a few meters away from the bushes, stood on tiptoe and looked inside vigorously, trying to see clearly.

At this time, her son's figure suddenly stretched out a slender hand that was completely out of proportion to his figure.

This hand moved twice stiffly and twisted like a puppet, then raised it, touched the top of his head at an angle that normal people couldn't do, and held it tightly.

Then, pull it out gently.

The black shadow of that head was pulled off from the neck with such ease.

"...?"

The vegetable basket in the woman's hand fell heavily to the ground.

The author has something to say:

In fact, I completely forgot the names of these supporting characters, so let's just pretend that I changed their names, and I don't mind

(I believe you can't remember the name)

Coola who only appears in letters
