Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 14 Vigil × Support × Ambush

When we arrived at the campsite, it was completely dark, and the temperature in the forest was slowly dropping.

Joey, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, felt cold all over after the cold wind blew.

But after it became clear that there would be strange insects in the forest, everyone no longer had the intention to light a fire.

Pengsi continued to try to use bees to contact possible teams nearby, while Bokuer divided the remaining four people into two groups for vigil.

Joey was assigned to the latter half of the night, presumably because Bakuer noticed that he was not in a good state.

Joey didn't shirk. He was really tired after running all the way.

So after nodding in agreement, he found a big tree and sat down with his back against the trunk, then fell into a state of light sleep.

The tension in his brain kept Joey from relaxing. He would be suddenly awakened by the slightest disturbance, so he didn't sleep well this time.

He was afraid of a sneak attack by the chimera ants, and he was also afraid of Baokuer and the others leaving him behind.

Fortunately, none of these things happened, and the wallet continued to inject energy into him, which made his mental state significantly better when he changed shifts in the middle of the night.

It seems that neither Pengsi nor Bakuer took a break to adjust, but they just didn't get the rewards.

The bees failed to bring back any useful information, as if the team that infiltrated ngl had been attacked and wiped out.

Neither Bukuer nor the two people looked very good about this, but the sight of the two relying on each other made Joey feel a little satisfied.

I took out my phone alone to hide it from the light, and then carefully checked the time.

It was already half past twelve in the middle of the night. According to the time when the sun set before, maybe the sun would appear after four o'clock, bringing some light and warmth to the dense forest.

He put away his phone and took out the pancake. Since there was no water in his hand, Joey could only swallow the pancake bit by bit with his saliva.

Joey shivered as he tightened the damp clothes around him.

Replenishing physical strength was very necessary under the current circumstances, even if Joey didn't feel very hungry.

At the same time, his hand quietly touched the wallet and carefully transferred it to the baggage on his back.

At this time, the thoughts emanating from the wallet have become very thin, and may disappear completely after continuing to be absorbed for an hour or so.

Joey didn't want to try what would happen after the thought disappeared, so he put it away in advance and no longer kept it close to him.

But maybe it was because the bag was also on Joey's back, so after a while Joey could faintly feel that the wallet was connected to him again.

It's just that maybe it's because they're far apart, so the air is transported very slowly this time.

Joey thought for a moment, took off the cloth bag and placed it on the grass aside, and then the connection was completely severed.

At around two o'clock, Baokuer woke up the Soy Sauce Party. Pengsi's bees finally brought back useful information. A team a few kilometers north of them responded and sent out a distress signal. It was obvious that they were in crisis.

Even though the news was not good, Joey could see a bit of excitement and relief on their faces.

I guess it seems to the two of them that being unable to contact talents is a real pressure!

Afterwards, Bakuer and Peng Si discussed and decided to go to support.

Joey had no choice but to say anything, so he could only pick up the cloth bag, tie it tightly, and follow the others' actions.

The distance of several miles was not considered far in the distance of a few people, but it still took five people more than half an hour to follow the bee to the place where the message was delivered in the dense forest at night.

But all that was left there were the broken corpses of humans and insects.

Most of the human corpses showed signs of being bitten and damaged, while the insect corpses were all broken into several pieces. I guess the leader of the team had good fighting ability.

And from the number of corpses nearby, Bakuer judged that there should be some people in the team who were not dead, but they didn't know where they were.

After Bakugo nodded to the Soy Sauce duo, the Soy Sauce Party spread out and showed off their special ability, tracking.

Gray Eyebrow is quite good at observing nearby traces, and can quickly distinguish various traces even under the moonlight.

Joey followed him and heard a lot of experience from his casual words.

The guy with grassy gray hair seems to have an extremely sensitive nose, and he can quickly detect abnormalities under the cover of the smell of blood.

Near a big tree, he seemed to have discovered some important clues, and turned around to tell Bakuer about it.

However, when he turned around, he suddenly heard a strange rustling sound above his head.

At the same time, he saw that the eyes of everyone looking at him seemed to be full of shock, and this shock also contained a look of nervousness and unwillingness.

Why?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, an unpleasant odor filled the vegetation ash's nostrils, and at the same time, his eyes fell into a darkness made of sharp teeth.

thump!

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the orange arrow pierced the air, hitting the monster with a head like a pink worm that swallowed plant ashes.

Green liquid mixed with red and white substances spurted out from the place where the arrow broke, and Bakuer shouted in a suppressed voice: "Run!"

But it was too late. The sound of clicking sounded in the forest near everyone, and then one by one, strange-looking chimera ants emerged from the forest.

Joey glanced roughly and saw no less than five monsters appearing.

Apparently these ghosts have been waiting here for a long time.

Killer Queen's figure instantly appeared next to Joey, and the wither-piercing attack broke off the back of his hand and fell to the ground.

The sound of rifle fire came without any warning from the hands of Joey and the gray-eyebrowed soy sauce gang.

The chimera ants seemed to know the power of firearms, and hid behind nearby trees the moment the rifle spit out flames.

Baku'er's hands flashed with orange light, and the arrows penetrated the body of the chimera ant faster than bullets before they had time to dodge.

After just one meeting, three of the chimera ants that appeared took the lunch directly, and even their appearance was not interesting to understand or remember.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and several fist-sized stones flew out of the forest.

There is Killer Queen beside Joey. Since she is a close-combat type stand, she is always on guard against the chimera ants until they get close.

He noticed the appearance of the stone immediately, raised his fist and aimed at the stone to bombard it.

The Gray Eyebrow Soy Sauce Party had no defense from Joey and was directly hit by a stone. His whole body flew upside down and hit a big tree.

Behind the big tree, there was a chimera ant with a rhinoceros horn waiting for him. Gray Eyebrow's chest was instantly pierced by the horn of the rhinoceros before he could get up amidst the popping sound.

However, Gray Eyebrow's rifle also took advantage of the situation and hit the chimera ant's head. The moment it was about to evacuate, Gray Eyebrow pulled the trigger with a ferocious look on its face.

With the sound of puff puff, the horned fairy's body gradually lost its ability to resist, and finally it hit Gray Eyebrow, whose eyes were gradually blurring.

But Gray Eyebrow didn't have the chance to push away the chimera ant corpse.

On the other side, Bokuer turned sideways to avoid the stone, grabbed Peng Si and got out of the way. After a flash of orange light in his hand, the arrow shot towards the direction of the stone slinger at a speed faster than the stone.

But in the next second, a thick pale arm covered with fine scales grabbed the arrow in his hand.

Then a figure that was taller than ordinary chimera ants turned out from behind the big tree. It had a face like a crocodile, and its cold eyes looked at the arrow in its hand with curiosity.

"What's this?"

The sound from this rather rough voice made Bakuer feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

But at this moment, a louder roar sounded next to the crocodile chimera ant: "The roast chicken is gone!"

Then, when the crocodile chimera ant crushed the arrow in its hand and turned to look at the source of the sound, the roar of the explosion and the firelight instantly drowned it out.
