Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The colors in front of me are so rich that they feel a little false.

Coral reefs of different colors and strange shapes are piled up layer by layer, forming hills and mountains in another sense. The highest point is even far beyond the mountain peak they are currently on.

Under the night, transparent creatures shining with blue fluorescence were flying in the air. They were not winged creatures such as birds or bats, but jellyfish that should have appeared in the ocean, not in the sky.

A gust of night wind blew up, and the hazy water mist rising from below enveloped the magical jellyfish, swaying like ocean waves, and enveloped everyone with the gentle and salty water vapor that is unique to sea water.

For a moment, a strong sense of dislocation came over me.

Coral reefs, fluorescent blue jellyfish, waves composed of moonlight, wind and fog.

Everything you see with your eyes, smell with your nose, and feel with your skin gives you the illusion that you are under the sea.

In order to avoid choking on water, the brain naturally issues instructions to hold your breath.

It wasn't until his lungs spasmed violently that he warned that Gordon finally remembered to breathe and took a long breath.

The refreshing feeling of oxygen rushing into the brain along the blood vessels makes one's eyes darken. Of course, it may also be due to suffocation.

etiquette? grammar? None of this mattered. What came out of his mouth at this time was the most straightforward thought in his heart:

"So beautiful!"

Gale was about to speak when he was choked and coughed, "Hey! Why does *** still use the catchphrase of robbing people?!"

"Nirvana is like being in the sea!" Hayata also imitated the sentence with a smile, "Is this how it is used?"

Anhil's blood pressure suddenly spiked.

He is always committed to improving the overall quality of the team.

Hayata's tutoring was already good, and Gordon had improved over the years. Even the splendid Feng Ying had become well-educated under his high-pressure training, only under his supervision.

Now a strange thing comes in. How many days has it been? The disease of mental retardation has infected both of them, and Feng Ying will only assimilate faster if she stays here.

If this continues, won't all his efforts over the years be in vain?

Sure enough, we should end this mission as soon as possible and kick this damn woman out.

"How about we kick this prude out!" Gale hugged Hayata's shoulders and laughed, "Sure enough, we are the same people!"

Anhil narrowed his eyes and his expression became quite dangerous.

Gordon quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject, "Well, let's go west next. From the map, the research base is very close to us. We can go there to rest first."

He could tell that Gale was joking, but Ancil was really angry.

Hayata also noticed this, poked Gail's waist and winked at her.

Gale glanced sideways at An Xil, snorted, and said with disdain: "You don't have any sense of security at all. Little brother, are you still in adolescence?"

Are you still stirring up trouble? !

Gordon's head ached. He was really afraid that Ancier would be so angry that he would raise his heavy crossbow and kill Gale, leaving his body in the wilderness. So would he protect him or not?

Unexpectedly, after hearing Gale's mocking words, Anxier calmed down.

He clicked his tongue, turned his head and said, "Then let's go quickly. Liefeng has a lot of wounds on his body. He needs to take good care of them after arriving at the research base."

"What a miracle, meow!" Xianglan touched Gale's leg in surprise, "The angry Anxil is obviously the most difficult to deal with, meow. How did you do it, meow?"

Gale chuckled, "This guy is awkward and obsessed with face. As long as he thinks, 'If I get really angry about this little thing, I will lose,' and his awkward pride will extinguish his anger."

As he said this, Gale racked his brains to find a word to sum it up, "This is called risk hedging!"

"That's not how the term 'risk hedging' is used," Hayata reminded in a low voice.

Someone didn't lower his voice. Anxil, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly turned his head, and the beating veins pulled at the corners of his eyes and made them twitch.

"Let me demonstrate."

Gale pointed at Ancil, who had a scary look on his face, laughed and said to Gordon and the others: "Look! He's in a hurry!"

"."

Anhil closed his eyes tremblingly, took several deep breaths, ignored Gale's expectant gaze that said, "I'm so angry", and took long strides along the ridge, heading towards the research base marked on the map.

"Is it useful?" Gale winked at Gordon and the others.

Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.

They are now very worried that if this continues, Anhil will make Gale angry to death.

"I've learned how to do it, meow!" Xianglan, whose eyes were shining, sped up to catch up and walked around to An Xier to try it out.

As a result, before he could speak, An Xil kicked him and flew out.

Pandan, who was covered in dirt, jumped up and meowed angrily.

Hayata couldn't help but cover her face.

Obviously not everyone can use this trick.

As the sun rises, Lu Coral Terrace completely wakes up.

Among the colorful coral reefs, countless strange creatures that are rarely seen in the outside world shuttle and play, just like the legendary Dragon Palace secret realm.

Unfortunately, for some people, this is a sight they are tired of seeing.

A slovenly man with disheveled hair who looked to be in his thirties or forties walked out of the research base yawning.

I buttoned the corner of my eye and flicked away a particle of eye droppings. I thought my long hair was getting in the way, so I randomly tied it into a pigtail with a string.

He is a biologist from Shiguo, and his only name is "Jian". As for his surname, not many people know it. Anyway, people who are familiar with him call him Ajian.

In Shiguo, this is a somewhat bad name, and it often gives people the impression of being lively, strong, and cheerful.

Unfortunately, these adjectives have nothing to do with Ajian, and can even be said to have opposite meanings.

He is a lazy, thin, even somewhat decadent man.

If the head of the group hadn't assigned him daily observation tasks, he would rather stay in the research base every day, reading books, sorting out and transcribing materials, etc.

From a certain perspective, he is an outlier among biologists.

"Ah, what are you going to observe today?" Jian scratched his hair, and his already sloppy hairstyle became even more messy.

"Why don't you find a place to spend a leisurely day? Hey, I will be scolded by the boss when I go back. It's nerve-wracking."

Jian pinched his chin, his eyes were dull and he didn't look at the road, but he could always find a route that he could pass smoothly in the complex environment composed of coral reefs and various living corals.

"It seems to be about observing the activity of some kind of creature. A swaying eel? A coral bird? Or a flying black hat?"

"Ah, someone! Hello?"

"Coral birds fly so fast, it's so troublesome to observe." He didn't notice anyone calling him at all, and Jian continued to lower his head and talk to himself.

"Hello?"

"Wingler eels are also very timid and will hide at the slightest noise."

"Hello!"

"Why don't you just find some flying black hats to observe casually, and then go back to report on the mission? At worst, you might say you heard wrong?"

Several pairs of human feet entered his lowered field of vision.

Jian looked up blankly and found several strange, fully armed hunters standing in front of him, looking at him with strange expressions.

"Ah? Could it be that you were bitten by Scarbandera (a kind of spider) and had hallucinations? Those things usually haunt the Miasma Valley, and they can't climb up here, right?"

Jian took off his pair of severely worn small round glasses, wiped them vigorously with the corners of his clothes that were also in a mess, put them back on, and looked forward again.

The hunters continued to look at him.

"Is this an illusion? If you were real people, could you punch me?"

"as you wish!"

Gale raised his fist without hesitation and knocked Ajian to the ground.
