Chapter 425 Not allowed to be underage
“This is the situation. You need to rush to Lingfeng as soon as possible to investigate the reason why Lanlong was angered. At the same time, search and rescue the victims of the crashed airship as much as possible.”
The assembly hall management conveyed the task content to Gordon alone.
Gordon was silent for a while, "I understand, I will set off immediately."
He turned around to leave, but was stopped by the administrator.
“We all know that the difficulty of this task is beyond your ability. Please don’t resent the Great Elders. The anger of the ancient dragon is the most dangerous thing. This is to buy as much time as possible.
There are more high-level hunters on their way, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself. "
Gordon smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Understand, since I am the upper-level hunter closest to the Lingfeng Mountain Range, then this is of course my responsibility, and I will bring back good news."
The meeting hall manager bowed deeply, and Gordon strode out of the door.
Outside the door of the hot spring hotel, fully armed Hayata and Ansir are waiting here.
"This mission is too dangerous, I will go alone." Gordon said after looking at his companions.
Hayata's face turned ugly, and she was rarely angry. "Senior Gordon, do you know what you are talking about? Or do you think this team should be disbanded directly?"
Gordon looked at her with a headache, "You should be able to guess without me telling you that this is a mission related to the ancient dragon, and I am the only high-ranking hunter in the team.
To be honest, I have no confidence in this mission. I only carried out the mission because of orders and obligations. "
"Then we have to go even more." Hayata stared at Gordon, "No matter whether the opponent is an ancient dragon or something else, with mutual cover, the survival rate will always be much higher."
Just as Gordon was about to continue to refuse, Ancil made a "shut up" gesture. He raised his eyebrows and said: "No, someone was promoted to a high position by chance. Doesn't he think he is much better than us?
No way? Are you so swollen now? "
Gordon smiled bitterly, "You know I didn't mean that. It's just that the opponent this time is real."
"We will go anyway." Hayata decided not to talk nonsense to Gordon and hummed: "Even if you set off alone, we will follow you."
“Hmm, I think so too.” Anhil crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.
After confronting the two people silently for a while, Gordon finally let out a long sigh.
He really couldn't stop these two guys, so he could only give up on himself and said: "Go, go, let's go together, at worst, the three of us will die together."
Anhil and Hayata looked at each other, with smiles on their faces at the same time.
At this time, Feng Ying, who ran back to change equipment, ran over happily, "Are you ready to set off?"
“You can’t go.”
“Feng Ying can’t go.”
“It’s none of your business.”
Three people said in unison.
"ah?"
Feng Ying didn't understand why she was suddenly excluded. She raised her mouth and said, "Why, what's the reason?!"
She hasn't yet figured out what mission Gordon and the others are going to carry out.
“Because you are underage.” Anhil made nonsense.
???”
Gordon, a group of three people and two cats, took a while to prepare their luggage and set off quickly.
Of course Feng Ying was not included in this mission, as her strength was still not up to par.
From Jieyun Village to Lingfeng Mountains, the straight-line distance is more than 200 kilometers, which is not an easy road.
In order to shorten their trip, they set off on the Chamber of Commerce's airship.
When night falls.
The Lingfeng Mountains, with its rocky cliffs and strange topography, appeared in front of them.
Since the Lingfeng Mountains are not a hunting ground designated by the guild, there are no hunting camps nearby for rest.
Camping is the only option.
The terrain of the Lingfeng Mountains is complex and there are strange-shaped cliffs and rock pillars everywhere. It is not too difficult to find a suitable camping spot.
Without much effort, they found a small cave and temporarily settled here.
A small bonfire was lit and the hunters discussed around the map.
“This map is too simple.”
Anhil looked at the parchment in front of him with a few simple peaks drawn on it, and complained helplessly, "What's the difference between this and not having a map?"
“Let’s use it as a reference.”
Gordon stretched out his finger and clicked on the highest peak in the center of the map, "This is the main peak of the Lingfeng Mountains. According to the information provided by the guild, the main peak has been the habitat of Lanlong since ancient times.
Our main reconnaissance area is this area.
Although this is very likely to lead to a head-on encounter with Lan Long, it is also the most direct way to ascertain information. "
"This is a large area of tens of square kilometers." Hayata said worriedly: "Where are the victims of the airship? Are they also in this area?"
"No, they fell south of the main peak." Gordon moved his finger down a bit, "near here."
Zhupa scratched his beard in distress, "The area that needs to be searched has become larger again, meow."
"How many days ago was the crash?" Anhil asked suddenly.
“Five days ago.”
“Five days.” Anhir held his chin in thought.
Gordon thought about his sentence and said: "The climate in the Lingfeng Mountains is not bad. There are no violent storms as we imagined, and water sources are everywhere. I think we can still search and rescue them."
"No, no, you misunderstood me. I don't mean to give up search and rescue. On the contrary, my suggestion is not to conduct reconnaissance on the main peak, but to prioritize the search for the crash site." Anhir waved his hand.
“What’s the reason? Tell me in detail.”
"First and most important point." Ancier raised a finger, "It is too dangerous for us to get close to detect a manic ancient dragon and find out the reason for its anger.
Didn’t Mr. Administrator say that there are other high-level hunters on the way, and I don’t think we need to try our best to get them all involved.
Do you understand that we should act within our capabilities? Act within your ability.
I feel that if we can rescue the victims, it will be regarded as a great achievement, and no one will question us for not trying our best enough. "
ˆ “.”
Gordon really didn't expect that Ancil would consider it from this perspective.
"What's that expression on your face?" Ancier glanced at Gordon, "Please make it clear to me, from the beginning to the end, I had no intention of being a hero, let alone a martyr.
I will participate in the mission just because my friend has to perform the mission. I want to bring him back alive, not just to come here to fight for the guild. Do you understand? "
“I fully support Ancier-senpai on this point.”
Hayata nodded with deep understanding on the side, "Self-preservation is the most critical matter. We can't rush into the mouth of Lan Long. Otherwise, even if we get the information, what's the use if we can't spread it out?"
“Yes, yes, what you said makes sense”
Gordon also found that he was a bit over the top.
The purpose of their trip should be to "bring back information and victims" rather than "sacrifice here."
（ps. My girlfriend is coming over these two days. Today and tomorrow there will only be one update at noon. I have to accompany her after not seeing her for a long time orz
