Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 65: Task

Views:

Qianye now has a little grasp of the character of this four-star female hunter. It is obvious that she has rich hunting experience and is used to life in the battlefield regardless of gender, which is why she is so informal. In the wilderness, walking on the line of life and death, the distance between hunters is much closer than that of ordinary people.

Qianye's eyes flicked over several scars on her body, and almost as soon as he saw the shape, he knew it was from the hands of some creature.

The two continued to chat through the bathroom door, and Qianye roughly understood the basic situation of this mission.

A complete werewolf tribe will include three levels: head wolf, elder, and ordinary warrior. Some tribes also have special types such as shadow wolves, needle wolves, war wolves or mad wolves.

The strength of the werewolf tribes near the Rock Territory is relatively average. The head wolf is generally between five and six levels, the elder is only slightly weaker than the head wolf, and the special types of shadow wolves depend on the specific situation. However, it is rare that there will be a situation that is too strong to break the ecological balance, because if so, there will first be changes within the dark race to redefine the sphere of influence inherited from generation to generation. There are about a hundred adult warriors in a traditional werewolf tribe, and if there are more, the predation area will not be enough.

With the strength of Yu Yingnan's team, it is impossible to shake the werewolf tribe head-on. But anyway, the purpose of her trip is not to wipe out the werewolf tribe, but to make a surprise raid to seize the treasure. Through certain channels, Yu Yingnan spent a lot of money to obtain a kind of force potion, which can seriously damage the sense of smell of werewolves and make their combat power drop significantly in a short period of time.

In the hunter's plan, this potion is perfect for use in a closed environment like a wolf's lair, and the effect is expected to last for about half an hour. The hunters had to seize less than half an hour to raid the wolf's lair, snatch the totem, and then flee at full speed. In the end, on the way home, he avoided the werewolf's pursuit, and it was considered a success.

However, the entire battle plan, from the beginning to the end, made Qianye feel very uneasy. In his view, every aspect of the plan is full of variables. Especially in the last stage, it was beyond imagination to escape the all-out pursuit of dozens of werewolves recovering their strength in the wilderness.

Qianye expressed his doubts, but Yu Yingnan replied indifferently: "Okay! Is there any surprise in every action? As long as you are well prepared. Don't worry, this time I brought Yang Tian, he He is an expert in dealing with those big gray dogs. We are going to meet in the afternoon to finalize the final preparations and the division of labor within the team. Come with me and meet other partners by the way, so we can get to know each other better."

Qianye was stunned. From the beginning to the end, he didn't seem to say that he was willing to join, but Yu Yingnan took it for granted that he agreed. Seriously speaking, the relationship between the two was nothing more than a drink yesterday, and she was put down by Qianye.

After lunch, Yu Yingnan brought Qianye to a weapon shop on Black Copper Street, opened the door and walked in.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a full beard. When he saw Yu Yingnan and Qianye, he pointed to the back and said, "We're all waiting inside."

After entering the door, it turned out that it was not a room, but a corridor. There was a spiral staircase going all the way down to the basement. The space inside is unexpectedly spacious, the gas lamps are quite bright, there are many compartments, various steel rails and machines, it turned out to be a small workshop.

Yu Yingnan led Qianye into the room closest to the stairs, and saw that it was a weapon processing workshop.

The studio has a row of four workbenches along the walls, filled with parts and semi-finished products. There is also a pot of crystal particles on one of the workbenches. After these particles are polished, they will be the core part of the blank force bullet.

In the corners are the ceiling-to-ceiling shelves filled with untreated steel bars.

Various firearms are hung on the wall with large pieces of peeling plaster, and two blueprints are nailed to it.

Qianye glanced at the design drawing, and several parameters specially circled with black pen jumped into his eyes, and he was surprised to find that they were the standard values of the second-level force guns.

He couldn't help but stop his gaze and read the drawing as a whole. Sure enough, it was a self-designed original force firearm, which had barely reached the second-level standard, and actually surpassed the general-issue weapons of the expeditionary army, which surprised Qianye somewhat. However, workshop-style firearms often have many problems in mass production and reliability, so Qianye still prefers the army's standard weapons.

There were already three people in the studio, two of them were sitting, and a dark-skinned young man was busy processing parts in front of the workbench. When Yu Yingnan and Qianye came in, their eyes all fell on Qianye, with curiosity, admiration, but also hostility.

Yu Yingnan briefly introduced the two parties.

Yang Tian is a four-star hunter like her. He is in his forties this year and looks like an honest uncle. He reached out to shake Qianye's hand, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen someone who can put Yingnan down on the wine table! Welcome to join!"

The other two were named Tashi and Li Lunzhe.

Tashi never left the workbench, except Qianye glanced at him when he came in, and then buried himself in fiddling with the parts in his hand. Even when he greeted Qianye and briefly answered Yu Yingnan's questions, he didn't take his eyes off the parts in his hand, it was obvious that he was a technical madman.

Li Lunzhe is very young, about twenty-four or five-year-old, but his strength has reached level four, the same as Yu Yingnan and Yang Tian.

With a faint arrogance, he reluctantly reached out and shook Qianye's hand. Instead of saying hello to Qianye, he turned to Yu Yingnan and said, "Sister, this kid looks very young. Does he have combat experience? Do you want to test it?" one time?"

Yang Tian said at the side: "No need, the person Yingnan likes is not bad. Besides, this is also the person approved by the second master."

Hearing that the second master had also spoken, Li Lunzhe muttered a few words and said nothing more. But his hostility towards Qianye was still extremely obvious, and he did not hide it at all.

Then everyone discussed the details of their respective division of labor and action plans.

The hunters will disperse their actions and meet at a predetermined location outside the target valley to prevent the werewolves from being aware of the attack intention in advance. Tashi will be in charge of the escape route, Qianye will follow Yingnan, and he will be responsible for taking the totem away as soon as he grabs it, while the others will stop and stop the werewolf. There is no hard combat mission assigned to Qianye, as long as he takes advantage of his speed and successfully brings the totem back.

After discussing the plan, Yu Yingnan knocked on the table and said: "The next step is the old rules, the distribution of equipment and supplies and the handing over of the operation deposit, and Qianye's share will be counted on my head!"

Qianye originally wanted to pay the deposit by himself, but seeing that the other three took out five gold coins, he could only keep silent. After paying the wine bill last night, he had only one gold coin and some silver coins left on him.

Since Qianye arrived in Dark Blood City, the only income he got was the ten bounty gold coins he got in exchange for the Hunter's House. The cost of settling down, purchasing equipment and auxiliary supplies was even greater than he expected. This is why although he felt uneasy, he did not refuse to participate in Yu Yingnan's mission in the end.

Regarding Yu Yingnan's decision, neither Yang Tian nor Tashi raised any objections, only Li Lunzhe became more hostile towards Qianye.

The crowd dispersed quickly and agreed to gather at the predetermined location three days later.

When walking out of the store, Yu Yingnan patted Qianye on the shoulder and said, "You come with me, we will set off at night." From the beginning to the end, Qianye had no room for objection to her arrangement.

The two had just walked two blocks when Yu Yingnan stopped suddenly.

This is a narrow street that is neither wide nor narrow, and it is relatively clean. Most of the buildings on both sides are bungalows, occasionally there are two-storey small buildings, except for the residential buildings, more than half are all kinds of grocery stores.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken, and the gas lights came on one after another, which was the peak time for hunters to return to the city. It should have been the time when the flow of people was the most, but at this moment it suddenly became silent, and there was no one in the streets, alleys or backs.

All the doors and windows were closed tightly, as if the whole street was closed at the same time. The dim light of the gas lamp shone on the solitary signboard, which appeared even more blurred and powerless in the not yet completely dark sky.

Yu Yingnan looked around, and suddenly sneered and said, "It's all here, why are you still hiding?"

A yin and yang voice floated from behind the two of them: "Of course I'm worried that you saw us scared and ran away suddenly!"

With the creaking sound of the old door hinge, a skinny man stepped out of the house behind them.

Then many doors on both sides of the street opened one by one, and more than a dozen people walked out, surrounding Yu Yingnan and Qianye. More than half of these people have the strength of a first-level soldier, and that man with a strange look is a third-level soldier.

Qianye glanced over and found that all these people had tattoos of poisonous snakes on their bare arms, so he knew that they should be members of a gang called the Sky Snake Gang in Dark Blood City.

The Heavenly Snake Gang is the third largest gang in Dark Blood City, and they are quite powerful, and this block happens to be their territory.

Qianye took a quick look at the surrounding environment. The buildings on this street are actually not an obstacle. Even if there are ambushes in the house, if they are similar in strength to these people, it is absolutely impossible to stop Yu Yingnan and Qianye. But if he can escape the present but cannot escape the aftermath, he is afraid that the ghosts of the Heavenly Snake Gang will linger.

Yu Yingnan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hua Snake, you don't have to play this little trick with me. Let's be honest, what's the matter this time? If it's clearly a trap, then of course I'll leave immediately. Then I'll be with you guys Take it easy."

Hua Snake said leisurely: "Leave? Don't you want your business in the city?"

Yu Yingnan was not angry, but said calmly: "No more. But you members of the Heavenly Snake Gang, especially you, don't even think about going out of the city alone in the future. If you want to go out, first prepare yourself for the funeral!"

Hua Snake's complexion changed, and her arrogance suddenly faded. They are indeed numerous and powerful, each of them has some combat power, and no one will be discouraged when they meet in the city.

But the wasteland is another world. Unless you go in a large group every time, you will definitely not be an opponent of a seasoned hunter like Yu Yingnan. If Yu Yingnan had made up his mind to fight to the death and guarded outside the city every day, few members of the Snake Gang would have dared to go out that day, at least they would not have dared to leave the city too far.

Qianye immediately looked at Yu Yingnan with admiration. He originally thought that this was a woman whose head was full of violence and muscles. But think about it, four-star hunters, no matter what their personality and behavior style are, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

Hua She put away her smile and said, "Okay, Yu Yingnan, you are ruthless! Then what do you say about the debt you owe to your elder brother now? It doesn't matter if you delay paying it. Our elder brother said that we will find the second master when the time comes." Let's talk about it, interest and fines are worth a copper!"
