Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The old dragon man pointed to a task receipt, "The Hammer Dragon only appears in the volcanic area, and there is one over the lava cave. The trouble is, there are recent records of concubine spiders and armored dragons appearing in the nearby area."

"The danger level of Kailong and Hammerlong is five-star, but the concubine spider seems to be six-star?"

"Um."

The management of the assembly center nodded and said: "The concubine spider has extremely tenacious vitality and strong reproductive ability. It can give birth to cubs 'Chen spider' to participate in the battle at any time. It can breathe flames and move quickly through silk threads. It is very tricky."

The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched fiercely, "Two five-star monsters and one six-star monster get together, shall we have a meeting?"

The management of the meeting place said helplessly: "The environment of the lava cave is harsh, and there are only so many areas that are relatively suitable for living, so the distribution of large monsters is relatively concentrated."

Hilda said: "It seems that Gordon and I must go over the volcano, otherwise it will be too dangerous."

"Don't worry, the trouble is more than that."

The management of the meeting place pointed to the mission documents, "Jieyun Village only has one airship, which is the one from the Stirling Chamber of Commerce. The lava cave is far away, so you must take an airship.

Those in charge of hunting fire dragons can only go by land, so the target selection should not be too far away.

However, due to the thunder wolf dragon disaster before, the fire dragons within a week's distance from the village were either hunted or migrated away. "

"It's gone?!"

An Xier asked in astonishment: "At the end of last year, Fengying and I met a female fire dragon on the way to Jieyun Village with the caravan."

"Well, it's all gone. The end you mentioned also migrated later."

The old dragonman sighed: "The thunder wolf dragon disaster has a greater impact on the distribution of large monsters in the entire northern part of the western continent than we expected earlier."

Gordon and Hariyata looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed.

When they first came to Jieyun Village, they also hunted a pair of male and female fire dragons. Because there was no demand, they did not bother to break open the bones and extract the bone marrow.

"The only exception is the Sakura Fire Dragon, which may not be affected by the thunder wolf dragon disaster because of its great strength and being far enough away from the Lingfeng Peak.

Its nest is in the forest about 200 kilometers south of Jieyun Village. If you take a Marutori car, the one-way trip takes about three or four days. "

"Sakura Fire Dragon, it is indeed a troublesome opponent."

"There's also the Red Pocket Blue Bear." Hilda picked out the two mission documents of Sakura Fire Dragon and Explosive Hammer Dragon, and sighed again: "This guy can't be left alone."

The administrator old man gave her a grateful look.

"And my suggestion is that the Red Pocket Grizzly Beast can best be handled by a high-ranking hunter. Although the guy's size is not too exaggerated, but..."

"The fighting skills are amazing." Gordon finished what she wanted to say for Hilda, "Strength, the hardness of the carapace and fur, these are the second.

The main reason is that the guy's combat experience and movement speed are not at the same level as ordinary blue bear beasts. It feels like the difference between ordinary people and hunters. "

"That's right."

"So meow, Gordon and Aunt Hilda have to deal with the Red Pocket Grizzly Beast and Hammer Dragon respectively, meow."

"What did you call me?" Hilda grabbed the pork chop and rubbed it vigorously.

"Instructor Hilda, meow."

"I'll go to the volcano." Hilda let go of the pork chop, thought carefully and said: "The task of hunting the Hammer Dragon is not difficult in itself, but I'm afraid that the concubine spider and the armored dragon will mess in.

These three monsters are relatively large in size, and the dragon arrow I am used to will be more advantageous. "

"Then I'll deal with Red Pocket, Senior Hilda hunts the Hammer Dragon, Anshir and Hayata hunt Sakura Fire Dragon?"

"No." Anshir shook his head and said, "Instructor Hilda, Dragon Arrow's arrows are huge and heavy, and you can't take a few with you.

And no matter it is the Hammer Dragon, Kailong, or Concubine Spider, their vitality is very tenacious, just a Hammer Dragon is enough, if the other two enter randomly, your arrows may not be enough. "

Hilda was silent.

What Anshir said was the truth, and it had nothing to do with strength. The ability to continue fighting has always been the flaw of bow hunters.

The arrows used by bow hunters are different from ordinary bows and arrows. They are thick and heavy, similar to short spears, otherwise they cannot cause enough damage to large monsters.

Coupled with the fact that bowhunters pursue agility, this leads to the ability of bowhunters to carry ammunition worse than that of light and heavy crossbowmen.

"Hayata and I are both five-star hunters. Be cautious. Hunting Sakura Fire Dragon alone should be possible, so my suggestion is that one of us will help you, and the other will hunt Sakura Fire Dragon alone. "

Hilda's eyes lingered on Anshir and Hayata for a while.

She had to admit that Anshir had a point.

Fighting monsters head-on, especially big monsters with rough skin and thick flesh like Hammer Dragon, Concubine Spider, and Kailong, is not her forte.

From her good use of dragon arrows and the choice of armor, it can be seen that stealthy actions, waiting for the opportunity to strike hard, or even directly sniping are her strengths.

But she didn't want to transfer the pressure on herself to these young people.

Especially Hayata, who is about to turn twenty years old, is about the same age as her daughter, and is still a child in her eyes.

"Leave Sakura Fire Dragon to me."

Hayata sees through Hilda's thoughts, and so does her master Amos, who always treats her like a child.

"It is said that using the material of Sakura Fire Dragon, the flying dragon sword [Aoi] can be strengthened into the flying dragon sword [Sakura]. I have always wanted to hunt one.

I don't want to let go of such a rare opportunity. "Hayata said with a smile.

"Yeah." Anshir nodded and said, "Then I'll help Instructor Hilda."

"You children." Hilda exhaled lightly, pretending to be angry and said, "I haven't agreed yet, why did you decide like this?"

Gordon also said aside: "Senior Hilda, the purpose of this trip to the lava cave is not only to hunt the Blasthammer, but also to collect as much Blasthammer bone marrow and gunpowder rock as possible.

By the way, there is also the killing dragon fruit. I remember that kind of fruit is more common in volcanic areas?

You can't be busy with so many things alone. "

Anshir's face suddenly became a little stiff, "You reminded me, it's easier to say, moving the gunpowder rock is hard work.

There is also the extraction of bone marrow. I don’t know if a knife can be used to cut the bones of the Hammer Dragon. Gordon, why don’t you exchange with Instructor Hilda? "

"No, you haven't dealt with the concubine spider before, that kind of monster is too dangerous for first-timers.

In the unlikely event that three large monsters gather together, it would be embarrassing for Gordon as a great swordsman, so I still have to go to the volcano.

As for extracting bone marrow, carrying gunpowder rocks and collecting dragon fruit

Take your time, I'm not old enough to be crippled.

And little Anhill, don't always say that our archers seem to have weak limbs, what's wrong with carrying the gunpowder rock? Can you young man in his twenties still not be able to lift a rock? ' Hilda began to preach.

Anshir had to accept education obediently.

"Actually, I don't think it can be done like this."

Gordon rubbed his chin and said, "Why don't you take Fengying with you? Let her do the heavy and chores like carrying gunpowder rocks and finding dragon fruits. She has a toothed hound, so it's convenient for her to run around.

That guy can also help when stripping the Hammer Dragon to extract the bone marrow. After all, he is also a shield and axe user. He can always cut it apart. "

"Isn't it good to let her participate in this kind of task?" Hayata hesitated.

"It's okay!" Gordon waved his hand, "I don't want to take her to Lingfeng, just don't tell her what you shouldn't tell her.

The task of hunting the Hammer Dragon is only a five-star mission, and she just happens to be able to participate.

She is already a mature 3-star hunter, it's time to learn to participate in some difficult tasks. "

"Your master is also treated like a ghost."
