Chapter 699 681. I hope so

Without too many pleasantries, Lan En knew that he was in for a job.

In the previous conversation with the director of the research institute, he already knew that except for the fifth phase of the group, the strongest prey that ordinary survey team hunters can hunt in the New World is the barbarian dragon and the female fire dragon.

After all, they were characters who came to the New World to lay the foundation for their stronghold, so it was normal for them not to be good at fighting.

The current situation of the hunters in the fifth phase of the group is not very optimistic either.

In addition to Wende and April's recommendation group, Aiden, who is in the first echelon, has only just regained the authority to accept two-star missions in the New World.

Now I have just put on a suit made of ferocious jackal dragon material.

Wende advanced the investigation of the Molten Dragon so quickly that the remaining hunters in the fifth phase of the group could no longer keep up with his intensity.

It can only be said that the recommended group is way ahead of ordinary hunters by a huge margin. He is worthy of being a powerful hunter who can keep the entire fifth phase team waiting for a week.

Under normal circumstances, the Commander-in-Chief would probably issue a return order to Wende.

Let him return to the Star Stronghold from the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, first clean up the Barbarian Jaw Dragon wandering outside, and ensure the safety of the material transportation route, and then start the interception plan against the Molten Mountain Dragon.

Even if doing so may result in wasting time on the road and ultimately missing opportunities.

The Commander-in-Chief's command style tends to be prudent, as he himself said: Every member of the New World Survey Team is extremely valuable, and he will never let the hunters of the Survey Team be exposed to tasks beyond their authority.

Therefore, even if Wende was to be delayed on the road, he would never hand over the task of ‘hunting the Barbarosaurus’ to Aiden, who had not yet proven himself in the New World.

But, that's under 'normal circumstances'.

And now, there is a hunter from another world in the Star Stronghold who has clearly had the ability to repel or even come close to killing the Barbarian Jaw Dragon!

"The supplies squad leader has brought her fleet and is ready to go."

The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and stood in front of the witcher, looking up into Lan En's eyes.

"Jack will hunt with you, and the sword master will stay at the base. You have two days in total, can you do it?"

"Your expression is really calm. Those who didn't know better would have thought that this mission was to hunt some kind of herbivorous dragon."

Lan En said with raised eyebrows.

The expression on the commander-in-chief's dark face was as calm as the surface of a lake.

But Lan En also knew that the calmness came from trust.

Just like the night he threw the small coat of arms with the white wind printed on it to Lan En.

The commander-in-chief's expression did not change because of Lan En's complaints.

In fact, the expression on that black face did not change until Lan En and his grandson were sent out of the stronghold gate.

Determined and at ease.

Little Jack's face showed complacency.

Obviously, in his life from the time he was born in the New World to the present, it seems that he has never gone out hunting with so many people's expectations on his back.

The task of hunting the Barbarian Jaw Dragon is related to whether the supplies can be quickly transported to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland and whether a defensive line sufficient to block the Molten Mountain Dragon can be set up before it passes by.

It can be said that the purpose of the New World Investigation Team is to find out the truth about [Gulongdu].

But now in the eyes of everyone in the investigation team, they have never been so close to the truth.

Just a little bit. Just a little bit short!

The beautiful squad leader of the materials class, the draconian researchers in the research institute, and even the old bean draconians running down from the stacks of books.

They are all looking forward to the investigation of Gu Long.

"Take a deep breath. Being too excited will make your hands unstable. And hands that are not stable enough are not qualified to participate in hunting."

Lan En could hear little Jack's chest beating abnormally without looking back.

He smiled harmlessly.

"Have you never fought in such a situation?"

Although Lan En is not very old, he is only in his early twenties now.

And now his physique and appearance make it even more difficult to tell his age. But it seems that he is the same age as little Jack. But what he said now was like an old man leading a new person.

But there is nothing to criticize about this.

Lan En has experienced large-scale battles involving more than 100,000 people, and is the most dazzling and important figure on the battlefield.

The hatred and fear of tens of thousands of enemies, the admiration and expectations of tens of thousands of friendly troops. To him, these are no longer things worth caring about.

But little Jack was born and raised in the New World. He has probably never met more than 2,000 people in his life to this day.

It certainly meant a lot to him to have so many people watching behind him.

"Huh~ I'm adjusting, I'm adjusting!"

However, thanks to the overly healthy mental state of the hunters in this world, little Jack finally controlled his breathing within the normal range after swallowing nervously for a while.

A healthy mental state not only makes people optimistic and cheerful in the narrow sense, but also represents good emotional control, stress resistance and concentration.

Therefore, people with a good mental state are generally not too bad at work.

As he left the confines of the star stronghold, he stepped into the ancient tree forest.

The fresh air and the shadows among the branches and leaves of the forest made the two feel relaxed and happy. At the same time, the vigilance of the hunters also began to increase.

From now on, they have entered the hunting mission.

They begin to become taciturn and use more gestures, eyes, and body movements in communication instead of speaking.

The ancient tree forest is full of vitality, but because of this, it means that the number of predators is never large.

"Has the guide insect responded?"

Lan asked little Jack briefly.

In response, little Jack showed Lan En the small cage hanging on the left side of his belt.

A group of fireflies-like guide insects have protruded from the small cage and are flying in a certain direction.

Lan En and Little Jack looked at each other, and then followed at the same time.

The two of them traveled through the dense jungle, and the first thing they discovered was a set of footprints of a Barbarian jaw dragon.

The fluorescent light of the guide insects illuminates the outline of the weeds pressed into the soil.

Lan En frowned in front of the continuously lit footprints and slowed down his pace.

But little Jack followed the footprints that were constantly lit up by the guide insects, as if he wanted to directly find the location of the Barbarian jaws.

"Wait, there's something wrong with these footprints."

Lan En grabbed little Jack who was following the guide insect.

"Ok?"

Little Jack, who was pulled by him, did not question him at first, but started observing again.

"It seems." Little Jack said a little uncertainly after squatting down and observing carefully for a while.

"Its footprints seem to be unbalanced. One of its two paws is heavier and the other is lighter."

"Could it be an injured Barbarius?" Lan En said while holding his chin. "The limping kind."

"If that's the case, it would be much easier to deal with."

The corners of Little Jack's mouth curled up slightly in excitement.

Lan En looked noncommittal.

"hope so."

　Thank you again for your comfort some time ago.
