Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Regarding the pork chops that he didn't discuss with himself, and went to learn the art of animalization, Gordon felt that

It feels good.

Pig Chop is no longer the rookie hunting cat that would be scared away by the blacksmith uncle's ferocious face when he first came to Keket Village. Now its strength even surpasses most hunters.

However, there is an end to the road of Bombcat with Bombat as its core.

Unless you give up your identity as a hunting cat, become a researcher like a master, and concentrate on developing new-type bombs and more powerful explosive formulas.

But it doesn't want that!

When the long board is difficult to continue to grow, improving the short board is the best way to improve strength.

Cure cat? Battle cat?

There is no entanglement in the pork chop between the two, and I chose the latter decisively.

It just so happens that among the hunting cats in Berna Village, there is a magical skill called "Beast Transformation", which can improve the combat power of fighting cats in a short period of time.

Learn from it!

It has been more than a week since I returned from Pokai Village after hunting the giant beast last time.

Gordon and Pork Chop, who had learned the new moves, felt a little itchy. After a brief discussion, they decided to take a somewhat difficult but not so dangerous task and adapt to it in actual combat.

They ran to the task counter of Longli Academy, and with the help of the part-time kanban lady's researcher, they picked a task that was moderately difficult for them.

——

Hunting Mission: Searing Blade (★★★★★)

Task content: Hunt the dragon

Remuneration: 25000 gold

Mission Location: Ancient Forest

Monsters that may appear: big strange bird, jumping dog dragon, big wild boar

Limited time: 10 days

The head of Berna Village: I heard that the terrifying Zhanlong reappeared in the ancient forest. The investigation team of the Dragon Calendar Institute was attacked and suffered huge losses. Hunters, hurry up and hunt that Zhanlong!

——

The ancient forest has a warm climate and rich resources, and the preparations before hunting are not complicated.

After receiving the task, Gordon and Pig Chop checked the equipment, sorted out the necessary supplies and hunting props, and set off in the empty boat.

All the way without words.

A day later, the small airboat landed near the hunter's camp. After greeting the pilot of the airboat and the flight attendant, Ai Lu, Gordon and Pig Chop jumped off the airboat and walked to the camp.

They had been to this camp two months ago, and the encounter with the cross-team trio was nearby.

Considering the number of large monsters of Zhanlong's level and the stability of the territory, the target they are going to hunt this time is probably the one from last time.

Just right, continue the unfinished battle from last time.

With this in mind, one person and one cat walked into the camp, talking and laughing.

As soon as they stepped into the entrance of the camp, their footsteps were stopped - there was already a hunter here.

It was a middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament.

Gordon was surprised to find that he had never seen any of his armor or weapons.

This set of armor is mainly made of some kind of ancient-looking black and red cloth, matched with many hideous monster bones, exuding an ominous atmosphere from head to toe.

The weapon is even more strange, it is a two-handed weapon similar to a double knife.

But they are definitely not double knives. The length of a single knife is more than one meter. Double knives are rarely so long, and from the shape, they are more inclined to blunt weapons.

stick?

etc.

Gordon suddenly remembered that when chatting with the master before, the latter had said that in a remote border area, a weapon from ancient times had been restored.

This weapon is called "Piercing Dragon Stick".

Due to the extremely difficult use, it is only allowed to be used by high-level hunters.

Gordon didn't know what it was like to wear a dragon stick, and the master didn't elaborate, but simply mentioned that it was a two-handed weapon like a pair of knives.

There are many types of hunter weapons, but there are only a dozen types in total. The probability of encountering a completely unknown type of weapon is really low.

Coupled with the fact that the two elements of "dual wielding" and "stick" can be matched, Gordon feels that this person should be using the extremely rare "dragon piercing stick".

Noticing Gordon's arrival, the middle-aged hunter frowned and stood up from the campfire.

Sensing the vigilance of the other party, Gordon did not continue to approach, but first revealed his identity, "I am Gordon, the great swordsman from Bernard Village, and I have accepted the task of hunting the dragon.

Excuse me, senior, are you passing by? "

The middle-aged hunter's frown deepened. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gordon carefully, and then said, "I also received the order to hunt the dragon. Show me your mission receipt."

Received orders?

This statement aroused Gordon's interest. He took out the mission slip in his hunter's notebook and showed it to the middle-aged hunter, but he didn't hand it to him directly.

The middle-aged hunter also realized Gordon's distrust. After a few seconds of silence, he took out a shiny metal badge, showed it to Gordon for two seconds, and then put it away.

"Guild knight?" Gordon raised his eyebrows.

Although the other party didn't show it for a long time, he also saw the whole picture of the badge clearly.

Of course Gordon knew the badge.

Only a very small number of hunters who are directly related to the guild will obtain the status of "guild knight". Unlike ordinary hunters, they are official personnel and even have certain law enforcement powers.

His senior brother Julius is a guild knight. In fact, with his master's relationship, he himself can obtain the status of a guild knight through the application.

Compared with ordinary hunters, guild knights have better benefits and greater power. The guild will even directly provide them with some elite equipment, such as the "ace suit" that Julius loves.

But the guild knights must always obey the guild's orders, and the degree of freedom is lower than that of the high-ranking hunters, which can be regarded as the price of those benefits and power.

Gordon had played with Julius's badge, and he could see that it was real.

What's more, impersonating a guild knight is an extremely bad illegal act, which will attract the guild's pursuit in the dark night, and few people will do this.

"Are the tasks overlapping?" Gordon muttered.

This kind of situation is not common, but it is not uncommon, especially in a remote, independent village like Bernard Village, the problem of poor information communication is particularly obvious.

Just as Gordon was hesitating, the guild knight glanced at the great sword behind him.

The middle-aged hunter was slightly stunned, and then he took the initiative to say: "It should be that there is a problem with the filing process, and the mission goal of both of us is to hunt dragons, and there is no conflict.

You can hunt cooperatively, and I will report this to the guild later, there will be no additional impact. "

Gordon thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Although personally emotionally, he didn't really want to cooperate with this mysterious and gloomy senior, but considering the identity of the other party's guild knight, it was not appropriate to refuse.

The guild knight sat down by the bonfire again, and gave Gordon a "come and sit" look.

Gordon didn't refuse either. He sat down opposite the guild knight, took out the food he was carrying, and chewed slowly.

The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward. The pork chop looked from one side to the other, scratched his ears, and took out a piece of dried fish to bite.

Silence lasted for a while.

Gordon noticed that this strange guild knight seemed to be quite interested in the jet sword behind him, and had already looked at it several times.

He simply explained, "This is a new type of great sword developed by my master, and it is still in trial use."

The guild knight looked at Gordon with some surprise, "Are you a disciple of Cambay?"

"Yeah." Gordon smiled and nodded.

This person's identity shouldn't be a problem.

The reason for this judgment is that there is an inconspicuous tattoo on the blade of the Jet Great Sword near the hilt.

This is the mark of the equipment manufacturing department of the guild headquarters.

There are quite a few people who can recognize this mark, but those who can notice an inconspicuous pattern embedded in it should be the core members of the guild, or people who are familiar with the master.

——That is the signature seal of the master.

"Like This."

The guild knight nodded slightly, "Your master and I are old acquaintances, you can call me 'Black Eagle', that sword, would you mind showing me a closer look?"

Ps. The role of Black Hawk is only mentioned in mhwi's Black Hawk design introduction, and it will be expanded on this basis
