hunt and eat

Chapter 11 The delegation arrives

"Captain, the storm at sea is getting bigger and bigger!"

On the rough sea, a huge transport ship was breaking through the dark waves, heading towards Pazzini Island where Guta and his village were located.

Above the mast, a hunter with a lookout glass roared loudly towards the deck below.

"I found a water dragon subspecies ahead, do I want to avoid it?"

The deck was now full of heavily armed professional hunters, and as the watchman's voice sounded again, everyone looked at the burly man with blond hair.

A simple unknown leather vest was casually worn on the sturdy body of a tusk beast.With his bare arms folded casually around his chest, a ferocious smile appeared on the man's scarred face.

"Dodge? Go straight to it!" The hoarse, bloody voice swept across the entire deck without rushing.

"However, the transport ship we took this time is already 23 years old, so it may not be able to last..." The lookout who newly joined the hunting group deliberately dissuaded him, but looked at the unchanging expressions of the man and the countless hunters behind him, Finally shut up.

In the sea area not far away, a huge and extremely long green dragon broke through the waves, and the thick fish wings that replaced the forelimbs slapped violently on the undulating sea surface, splashing more than ten meters of waves.

The long and narrow dragon head stared at the flickering lights of the Hunter Union transport ship, its snake-like eyes rolled around, hesitated for a while, and then dived into the water again.

The fin-like vertical scales pierced the dark sea surface, and rushed towards the side of the ship from one side at a high speed.

It obviously didn't want to let go of this strange prey it had never seen before.

"Cuishuilong, it's still a little guy in terms of size."

The man laughed with great interest, and his lion-like eyes looked at the giant that was at least 20 meters tall and rushed to one side.

A moment later, accompanied by a moment of silence, the huge dragon body leaped high from the water on the left side of the bow.

As the body leaped to the mast of the ship like an arch bridge, the tawny longan met the man's lion-like eyes.

Time and space were completely frozen at that moment, except for the pale thunder that pierced the sky, and the raging and roaring waves, there seemed to be nothing between a person and a dragon.

The long cry of the dragon resounded throughout the sea area, and time and space flowed again.

The figure of the emerald water dragon fell into the sea on the right side of the hull, splashing a column-shaped water curtain, and a pair of looming emerald green dragon fins began to move away.

"Is your perception of danger very high? Maybe you will be a dragon king again in the future?" Rubbing his bearded chin, the man called the leader didn't care about the rain and sea water all over him, just looked at the far away Emerald water dragon.

"Forget it, everyone... adjust the course, within a day, we must arrive at Pacini Island!"

With an order, the originally silent deck returned to its former hustle and bustle, and countless hunters began to repair various parts of the hull.

The captain, who was second only to the captain in stature, adjusted the course changed by the encounter with the emerald water dragon. With the mast opened again, the transport ship deflected [-] degrees and headed towards the predetermined direction.

……

"Welcome everyone, sit down quickly, the old woman just made some food, I don't know if it suits your taste."

On the pier, the smiling mother-in-law of the village head greeted the hunters who came down from the transport ship one by one.

Although intentionally or unintentionally, she ignored someone who stood at the top.

"Enya, long time no see, haha~" The head of the group who was left out didn't care, and took the initiative to hug the teammate from 30 years ago.

Granny Enya and the captain of the transport ship used to be partners in a team of hunters.

Enya sighed and finally said hello.

"Leighton, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to lead the inspection this time."

Captain Layton nodded, and asked with a narrow smile, "You still blame me for taking Nina and Teslan away ten years ago?"

Teslan and Nina are Nia's parents.

Ten years ago, the husband and wife who already had the level of professional hunters were invited by Layton, then head of the expedition team, to explore the mainland.

Nia was too young at the time, so after much consideration, the couple finally left her in the village.

Regarding this point, the village chief's mother-in-law has never forgiven them, and even complained about Layton who sent the invitation.

"That child, Niya, has been with me since she was three years old, and she hasn't seen her parents for ten years!" said the village head mother-in-law in a muffled voice.

Layton scratched his cheek resentfully, rolled his eyeballs, and abruptly changed the subject.

"Is there a reserve army in your village this year? I look at you very happy."

Talking about this, the village head's mother-in-law suppressed her anger a little bit, and pointed to a pair of teenagers and girls standing behind her with some joy.

"Nia, you know, she's very talented, I don't think she's worse than her parents back then."

Looking at the girl who couldn't see the shadow of that year at all, Layton nodded.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, he has kept in touch with Enya and other old friends by letter over the years, and he probably knows something about it.

"That boy is..." He moved his chin in some surprise, indicating what was going on with the other one.

Even though the distance was still far away, the hunter's instinct always reminded Layton that the young man was very strong, and could even faintly threaten him. This should never be the level that a reserve hunter should have.

But Enya had never mentioned it in the letter before.

"Guta, that child was a pleasant surprise. He suddenly became stronger during this period of time. Maybe he will be a part of the future Gulong investigation team."

With a smile on her face, the village chief's mother-in-law said proudly.

"The Gulong Investigation Team..." As if thinking of something, Layton frowned, and looked at the yawning young man with a complicated expression, "Maybe, but who can tell what will happen in the future?"

"Let's not talk about this, the food is ready, Enya." Layton rubbed his hungry stomach, and after getting an affirmative answer, he grinned, "Then let's eat first, and we have met many people along the way." Things, take a break, and we will conduct the assessment in the afternoon."

After gesticulating the direction a little, he walked towards the cooking house in his memory.

During the period, he noticed that the boy who heard the meal had sharp eyes, the corners of his mouth were dripping, and he rushed into the cooking room before him.

"Do you like to eat it? It seems to be a good seed for a hunter."

Layton stroked his beard and said to himself.

Hunters like Guta who like to eat will always pop up a few every once in a while, and their appetites are often far beyond ordinary people.

In this world, being able to eat is a talent worthy of the envy of all.

Because the more a person can eat, it often means that his physical potential is higher!
