After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 652 Temporary Camp

  The man was not seriously injured, thanks to the guard of the leggings. Over the years, visitors from the world have been attacked by planarians more than once or twice, and a set of countermeasures has long been derived. The whole body equipment is specially made, and all accessories have magical functions.

   They continued to run southwest.

  There are fewer and fewer dead bodies on the road, which shows that the visitors from the world have avoided the advance of the beast horde.

  The direction indicated by the chasing bee compass is also separated from the track of the beast tide.

   After walking for half a day, the wounded also got up and hurried on their way. He Lingchuan finally joined Chi Yan's team behind a boulder.

  There are only five living people left in the team, but there are more than twenty people in this small camp. They were all from other teams and were scattered in the beast tide, so they had to set up a temporary camp here.

   About a quarter of the players were injured, varying in severity. Although they were originally competitors, in this camp, everyone temporarily united and helped each other.

  The hot water has been boiled, some people are responsible for cooking, some are responsible for healing injuries, and some people go out to collect gargle beads. The environment in Fujie is harsh and there are many accidents. Everyone doesn't mind holding a group temporarily.

   This is still an upper air outlet, and the smell of blood is a bit strong. But everyone is not worried that the Danube will be attracted, they hate the smell of human beings.

  When He Lingchuan asked, he found out that the time when everyone's team was attacked was different. Some were yesterday, some were ten hours ago, and Chiyan's team was attacked three hours ago.

  After being attacked, experienced hunters will continue to follow the beast tide, but keep a long distance. Because there is a high chance of meeting other unlucky ones later, the more people who pick them up, the safer it will be.

  The people in the camp gathered together like this.

  Generally speaking, the animal horde is advancing from north to southwest, and the further to the southwest, the larger the animal horde, as if there is an unknown force that gathers the Danube beasts in that direction.

  In normal times, these Danubes are wealth to hunters, like pumice stones running one after another. But once gathered together, they are a torrent of beasts, invincible, and nothing dares to stand in front of them.

  He Lingchuan and the other four got into their own tent, took out supplies from the storage ring, replenished the old team members, and then sat down to rest quickly.

  In Fujie, resting and replenishing physical strength is also a science. You must know how to seize every moment.

  There are no plants here, so there is no firewood. If you want to boil water and cook food, you can only rely on spells.

  Fresh water is extremely scarce on the flat ground. There is a small lake near the camp, but the color is blue and the lake water is poisonous.

   Human beings must prepare everything they need to survive here.

  Even buying some water and a few pieces of jerky in the camp, you have to use pumice stones in exchange.

  Pumice stone is the hard currency here.

  He Lingchuan asked many people, and they all said that such a riot of beasts had never been seen before, and the Danubes were particularly irritable.

It is worth mentioning that the Danubes in Fujie were originally not hostile to humans and monsters, only curious, but after hundreds of years of hunting in Lingxu City, they see human creatures as natural enemies, and most of the time they avoid them , but once there are many beasts, they want to trample on them and seek revenge from the hunters.

   Several hunters heard a strange sound from a distance during the battle, "槺槺槺", like knocking on a clapper.

   At this time, several foreign hunters entered the camp, some were injured, and some had purple stains on their clothes—this was Danube blood.

One of them took out a pumice stone to buy pearls from the camp, and happened to hear He Lingchuan inquiring about the news, so he interjected: "I saw a horde of small beasts fourteen years ago, there were only about two hundred of them, far less scary than today's group. They should be was driven over."

  The voice is low and hoarse.

  He Lingchuan saw that the mask he was wearing was exquisite and recognizable: "Are you from the Ke family?"

  The man smiled: "I'm hunting in Caohai this year, and I'm just working for the Ke family."

   "Caohai hunting, have you participated in it many times?"

   "Yeah, other people pay for my life, earn some hard money." He cupped his fists at He Lingchuan, "Hu Bin, hire a hunter."

   "Hey." He Lingchuan didn't say his full name, just looked behind Hu Bin, "Why are you alone?"

  Caohai hunting has a long history and is self-contained. Many families and official forces will use mercenaries to form teams, because they are experienced, and even this is one of the livelihoods of many practitioners and monsters.

"This year's Danube beasts are particularly ferocious. When we first came in, two people were reduced. Later, four more went back to Caohai to exchange supplies. The rest were dispersed by the herd three hours ago. I rescued one companion, but He was too seriously injured to survive.” Every participating team must allocate personnel and supplies reasonably, and supplements from the human world are very important.

  Hu Bin pointed to the northeast: "I came from there following the beast tide."

  He Lingchuan was always thinking about his goal: "Have you ever seen a prey frozen into ice?"

   "Ice cubes?" Hu Bin thought for a while, "Yes, yes, six or seven Danubes are like this, very weird."

   "Weird?"

"If the murderer is a human being, their pumice stones have not been dug away; if the murderer is a frost silver beast, they have not been eaten either." Hu Bin said solemnly, "and the frost silver beast rarely freezes the whole body of its prey. Inconvenient to eat."

  He Lingchuan heard that his voice was getting hoarse, so he handed over a water bag: "Have you seen the Frost Silver Beast hunting?"

"It was also fourteen years ago." Hu Bin stretched out his finger and pointed to the north, "Did you see that high mountain? I saw frost and silver beasts at the foot of the mountain that year. When you can’t walk or resist, you can eat big pieces without freezing them all.”

  He Lingchuan grasped the key point: "Don't all frost and silver beasts live in high mountains and dangerous peaks, why do they go down the mountain?"

   "Who knows?" Hu Bin laughed, "Maybe some monsters don't like to play cards logically."

  He Lingchuan squatted down and drew a footprint on the sand: "Is this the footprint of the Frost Silver Beast?"

  Hu Bin looked carefully and shook his head: "No, it's not like it."

  He also drew a footprint casually: "The Frost Silver Beast landed on four toes, and the paw print you drew has three toes, and the palm pad is very large."

  He asked He Lingchuan: "Are you sure it's this thing that released the ice?"

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "I haven't seen it in person, but every Danube or human that has been frozen into ice has such footprints."

"Interesting." Hu Bin compared it with the palm of his hand. "The footprint you drew has a wide distance between the claw tips. It looks like slender claws, and they are used to standing on their hind legs. Well, it might be a barylaw. It also eats scavengers. Wander around fallen prey."

   "It's not impossible." He Lingchuan glanced to the north, and he couldn't estimate the height of the dangerous peak piercing into the sky.

  The Frost Silver Beast living on the top of the mountain is very mysterious, and he can't find any useful information in Lingxu City. Originally, the only way to get Shuangwan was to climb the mountain by himself. But now, he felt that there was one more feasible way.

   That is to keep up with the beast tide and find the ice-breathing monster. Maybe it's a mutated frost silver beast? Fu Shanyue reminded him that some new species would occasionally appear in the Fu world.

   This should be much easier than climbing a high mountain, facing the severe cold, and finding frost and silver beasts. Otherwise, who knows in which corner the Frost Silver Beast hides in that vast mountain?

  Hu Bin said again: "The frost and silver beasts I saw back then were still fighting in the stone forest."

   "Huh?" He Lingchuan wondered, "How many Frost Silver Beasts are there?"

   "Five heads, of different sizes, look a bit like wolves in the world, but much more ferocious." Hu Bin recalled, "It seems that the biggest two heads are dueling, and the others are watching around, restless."

   "Run to a duel on flat ground?"

"yes."

  He Lingchuan pondered: "This kind of duel is usually for the throne."

   Wolves are like that. Although this is Fujie, and the Frost Silver Beast is not a wolf, the instincts of creatures tend to converge.

  Hu Bin also said: "I guess their original leader encountered an accident, so they need to be re-elected."

  He Lingchuan nodded: "I see the same thing. What happened next?"

"One dead and one injured. The winner left with the herd, and the dead stayed on the ground." Hu Bin smiled wryly, "I was just about to pick up a bargain, but the palace guards rushed out, and I could only watch them take the spoils Cough, it turns out that they have also been watching the battle in the dark."

   "The palace guards are also participating?"

   "To be fair, they only hunt and don't compete, but no one dares to compete with them."

  Someone suddenly came over from the camp and asked, "Old Hu, do you want to continue or withdraw from the Ke family's team?"

  Is it meaningful to compete again with only Hu Bin and the Ke family?

  Hu Bin scratched his head: "I don't know, it depends on whether the Ke family will send people in again."

   "What about you? You can't live in Fujie alone." The person kindly invited, "How about you come with us?"

  People are not made of iron, especially after high-intensity battles, they need rest. Even the air in Fujie is poisonous. The trouble of having to change clothes and rinse beads every quarter of an hour will definitely disrupt the normal rhythm of breathing and sleep.

   Fighting alone in Fujie is almost synonymous with courting death. In the barren land, the most important thing is unity and cooperation.

  Hu Bin thought for a while, said "OK", and then took off the mask.

  The Ke family's mask was too ostentatious, so he replaced it with an owl mask.

  The man smiled and said, "When you look at this mask, you know that you are right."

  After changing the mask, He Lingchuan also saw his face. He was in his early thirties, with long eyes and big nose, and his appearance was ordinary.

   But this man has an extraordinary bearing and neat demeanor. He Lingchuan can tell at a glance that he was born in the army, and he has a lot of lives on his hands.

  The person who successfully invited Hu Bin came to invite He Lingchuan again: "What about you, do you have a team?"

   "Chi Yan's."

   "Oh oh. Let's go with the beast tide, do you want to go together?"

  He Lingchuan nodded without much hesitation: "Okay. What's the name?"

  Many people are powerful, not to mention that there are so many herds of beasts, the nine of them can't finish it.

   "My surname is Zhou." The man chuckled, "You can call me Old Zhou. Our team represents the Golden Horn family."

  He Lingchuan glanced at Hu Bin, and asked Lao Zhou in a low voice: "Is Lao Hu famous in this industry?"
