Chapter 980 The day of departure
Xuxu’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, he has been trained by Gale for so long. Monsters such as birds can still be solved independently. As for three-star monsters such as poison birds, be careful. Self-protection is not a big problem either.
She is also an investigator of the Institute of Ecology. Her background as a bio-armor and a resident of the Sea of Trees has given her extraordinary adaptability to the wild, so the director is very fond of her.
At the same time, she is also the young lady of the Stirling 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 monitor of the supply squad who had been mixed up in the black market nodded and bowed when he saw her.
Now she has become the breeder of the Fengdiaolong cub. She eats and sleeps with the little Fengdiaolong. This is a project of great concern to the Institute of Ecology. She is now basically the project leader.
“So this is the reason why you abandoned your disciples and went out to play by yourself, meow?”
At the dinner table, Pork Chop questioned Gale.
"That's right!" Gale raised his chin, showing no sign of denial or shame.
“So, the little guy’s focus is not on ‘becoming a hunter’ at the moment, and there’s no point in forcing her away. Her strength is almost enough to protect herself, that’s all.”
Gail waved his hand and said, "I announce that Xuanxu is out!"
Anhil: "."
It was unclear for a moment who of the master and disciples had failed whom.
"Look away." Gordon patted Ancier 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. "
Ancil sighed silently.
He is a typical perfectionist. He either doesn't do something or goes all the way to the dark side to do his 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.”
Gail 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. "
“This is natural.” Gordon nodded.
Their team took away half of the special investigation team's combat strength, 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." Anhir 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.”
Gail glanced sideways at him, "How are you going to bring so much ammunition?"
“A strong wind.” Anhil’s answer was simple.
"We're going to ride on a pterosaur, right?" Gale tugged on Liefeng's ears, "Can this guy be taken flying?"
"No, it's running underneath with the baggage on its back." 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. Facing this kind of female gangster, ignoring is the best choice.
She turned around and hugged Li Feng's big head, "Can you also bring me a few boxes of ammunition? 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.
"Okay, you two don't take turns bullying Lifeng." Hayata was helpless.
She could already foresee the miserable situation of Gale carrying a mountain-like ammunition box on his back, his limbs trembling, and his 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. "
The strong 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 I can use the remaining weight to carry gunpowder, hehehehe."
“Wangwu.”
In the next few days, Gordon and others were very busy.
Not just equipment, ammunition, but also various props and supplies.
The preparations before the journey were far more troublesome than they originally thought.
For example, the transfer of positions.
During Gordon's absence from the stars, the responsibility of the leader of the Special Investigation Team temporarily fell on Evelyn's shoulders.
As the oldest hunter in the special investigation team, Evelin, who is experienced and has a calm personality, must be able to do the job.
Anhil also entrusted Xuanxu to the couple, hoping that they could help take care of the girl who was lacking in brains.
Among the hunters of the special investigation team who stayed at the Star Stronghold, Evelin and his wife were the only two who were reliable.
Leave it to others and you will become a drunkard and a fisherman again.
After everything was arranged, the day of the long journey finally arrived.
Hunters set off on pterosaurs and flew all the way north.
It only took a whole day for them to pass through the ancient tree forest and arrive at the Grand Canyon, in front of the mountains they passed when they captured the Sour Pterodactyl.
However, the convenient and fast air journey only ends 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 very likely to be besieged by a group of acid pterosaurs.
When flying with people, the speed and flexibility of the Pterosaur are greatly reduced. It is impossible to escape the pursuit of the Acid Pterosaur. It is simply food delivered to the door.
Therefore, riding a pterosaur across the Grand Canyon is an act of suicide, which also makes the Grand Canyon a real chasm that divides the New World.
If you want to climb over this barrier, there is no trick and you can only climb it with bare hands.
If not, those poor scholars would not have been trapped for more than ten years after the airship of the third phase of the regiment crashed into the coral platform.
After setting up camp at the foot of the mountain for a day and a night, Gale finally arrived carrying a bunch of luggage across the ancient tree forest.
Seeing that it was half dead from exhaustion, it stuck out its tongue, turned its belly, and refused to move after lying down. Gordon was too embarrassed to let it help him carry armor over the mountain.
Even though the toothhound is known for its excellent endurance, it cannot be used like this.
It is delicious and delicious, so that the strong wind has slowed for a day. After the night the next day, the itinerary enables.
Using the cover of invisible clothing and darkness, the hunters climbed over the ridge, carefully avoiding the dormant Acid Pterosaur on the mountain wall, and entered the Grand Canyon without any danger.
Next, they will walk along the Grand Canyon until they reach a "relatively easy mountain pass" marked on the map.
But it was still a steep mountain with an angle of more than 70 degrees and a height of more than 1,000 meters.
Opposite the mountain range is the Coral Platform, the core area of the New World known for its astonishing biodiversity.
