Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Even in the middle of the night in the dense forest of Metabe in early summer, it is still hot and humid.

On the clearing in the forest, a hideous purple-black monster swallowed its last breath in convulsions—this is a bird-dragon monster named "Black Wolf Bird".

This kind of monster was once considered a rare species of big monster bird. The so-called rare species refers to a very small number of individuals born in the original monster group. They have power and abnormal appearance that far exceed the original species.

However, with further research, scholars believe that the black wolf bird has embarked on an evolutionary route closer to that of the flying dragon, and the two should be distinguished.

Although they are 70% to 80% similar to the big monster bird in appearance, their carapace and scales are completely different from the big monster bird. The sharp thorns are almost all over the body, and the pointed and long beak is also rounder than the big monster bird. The beak is aggressive.

In terms of danger rating, the black wolf bird is more than one grade higher than the big monster bird. Even among the four-star monsters, it belongs to the very prominent part, which is more dangerous than many flying dragons.

Their berserk attack style and perpetually surly personality have earned them the reputation of "black lunatics" among the hunter group, or notoriety, which belongs to the kind of terrifying existence that ordinary hunters can't avoid.

However, no matter how terrible the legend is, the black wolfbird in front of him is dead, at the hands of two young hunters and an Elu cat.

The burly swordsman in red and black heavy armor put away his weapon.

What he is equipped with is an excellent armor called "Xiong Huolong Suit".

This set of armor is mainly made of the carapace, wing membrane, and scales of the male fire dragon, and is matched with a large number of high-quality pyroxenes. The defensive performance is far beyond that of ordinary equipment. Anyone who sees it can immediately understand the excellent equipment of its owner's strength.

And the one he carried on his back just now was the great sword of the same type of flying dragon—Xionghuolongyanjian.

As a rare and not-criticized existence among large swords with attributes, the Xionghuolongyan sword not only ranks among the best among large swords of the same level in terms of basic attack power and sharpness, but also has a special flame mechanism built in. When it chops on a monster , hot flames will spurt out from the blade, burning the monster and causing further fire damage.

The scorched black knife marks on the black wolf bird's body are the best proof of its power.

Crouching down next to the black wolf bird's body, the great swordsman took off the full-face helmet of the male fire dragon suit, revealing the sweat-stained young face underneath.

He took a long breath, "Phew, what a scary guy, if he didn't have a face that is 80% similar to the big monster bird, I would never believe that these two monsters belong to the same original species.

Anhill! What are you dawdling about? ! Come and collect, see if there are enough materials for you to make new equipment! "

"What's the noise, here we come."

Anshir, who was wearing a dress like armor, slowly walked out from the shadows of the woods.

Compared with when he was promoted to a four-star hunter more than a year ago, Anshir's armor and weapons have not changed in any way, and they are still the "classic combination" of the flying beetle suit and the crystal rifle.

For more than a year of traveling and hunting constantly, he and Gordon have hunted down many four-star monsters, including two or three male fire dragons alone, but his armor has never changed.

In terms of weapons, several heavy crossbows adapted to special ammunition with different attributes have been built, and they can be replaced according to the situation.

"It's time for you to get a new set of armor. The pork chop equipment is stronger than yours." Gordon looked at the slow-moving Anshir, and complained quite speechlessly.

"Meow!" The pork chop, which was used for comparison for no reason, meowed casually.

In fact, what Gordon said is correct. Its equipment is made of leftover materials from Gordon's Charmander suit. In other words, it is the hunting cat version of the Charmander suit.

It doesn't seem to be a problem to say that it is stronger than the shooter version of the flying beetle suit.

Ignoring them, Anshir, who came to the black wolf bird's body, bent down, touched the pair of purplish-red ears that were more narrow than ordinary monster birds, and said quite satisfied:

"That's right, both ears are not damaged, so the materials for the 'Cannon [Fierce Bird]' are all collected, the loading capacity of nine lv3 normal bombs, and the loading capacity of 6 flame bombs, tsk tsk, top ah!"

Gordon's face collapsed when he heard the words, "Is it still used as a weapon? Didn't you say that the effect of the black wolf bird suit is not bad, really don't think about it?

The monsters we are dealing with are getting stronger and stronger, so be careful that someday accidents will happen. The defensive performance of the flying beetle suit can't even resist the monster's casual blow, and the trouble will be big. "

".What you said is not completely unreasonable."

"Right? Let's make the black wolf bird suit! If the materials for this head are not enough, we'll ask around and find another one for you! Isn't that how I made my dragon suit?"

"I don't."

Anshir crossed his hands and made a "no" gesture, "I saw people wearing black wolfbird suits when I was in East Doruma, it was so ugly, the purple that was so gorgeous that it pierced my eyes made me sick. "

Gordon heard this and covered his face helplessly.

He understood that the main reason why Young Master Anshir has been using the flying beetle suit is that he thinks this suit looks better.

Compared with some "practical" hunters who mix and match equipment in disorder in pursuit of attributes, they are two extremes. Young Master Anshir believes that to be a "hunter", at least one must first dress like a "human".

"But it's true." Anshir glanced at the black wolf bird's body, and seemed to be talking to himself: "The fireball that came at me just now scared me. If I didn't slide and dodge in time, I might have died." Something big happened."

Seeing that Anshir's attitude had loosened, Gordon immediately nodded and added anger, "Yes! If you don't like the shape of the black wolf bird suit, other armors are also fine!

With so many types of armor, there are always a few sets that can take into account both effect and appearance, right? "

Anshir stroked his smooth chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think about it, relatively speaking, the sickle crab suit has a very good effect. It can increase the power of the penetrating bullet and at the same time restrain the drift of the sight to a certain extent.

Although the shape doesn't particularly fit my aesthetics, it's not ugly either."

"The general scythe crab is good! We have hunted two of these things, and they are not difficult to deal with. I remember that there are records of them appearing in the wetlands. It is not too far from here, so you can take a trip there!"

It's not that he is nosy, but the defensive performance of the flying insect suit can't keep up with their four-star hunter level. Any four-star monster can easily break through the defense. Gordon is really worried about what will happen someday. Hill made a mistake and died suddenly.

"It's not necessary. If it's a scythe crab suit, the material is enough." Anshir said quietly, holding the brim of his hat.

Hearing what Anshir said, Gordon hurriedly hit the iron, urging: "Then what are we waiting for? Go back and settle the task and make equipment!

Speaking of the well-reviewed workshops nearby! To the west is the city of Minergarde! We can go there to customize equipment, I am familiar with the boss, the technology is absolutely top-notch! "

Seeing Gordon's excited appearance, Anshir smiled helplessly.

Forget it, as that guy Gordon said, the monsters are getting stronger and stronger, and he can't keep going like this forever.
