Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

When he saw Gordon the next day, Ernest had a strange look in his eyes.

Peeing on the Sword of Heroes, this kid is really fat.

"The village chief has already sent a letter to the Hunter's Guild. It is estimated that a mission receipt will arrive in a few days." Ernest folded his arms habitually, and told Gordon the long-awaited news.

"Long live!" Gordon cheered, and ran into the house to tell Pork Chop and Anshir the good news.

Looking at the figure who was already a whole circle bigger than himself, Ernest smiled and left alone.

inside the house.

"In this case, the hunting tools must be prepared quickly." An Xier seemed calm as usual, but couldn't help clenching his fists.

For him, the male fire dragon has no special meaning, but being promoted to four stars means officially catching up with a dual-sword user whom he regards as an opponent.

That's right, Gordon played nicely to the instructor last night, but in fact, the preparations for hunting props haven't even started yet.

Most of the materials and luggage are still on the way to check in. It is unknown when they will arrive in Kokot Village, and there is no hope.

Fortunately, whether it is special ammunition, traps, or alchemy potions such as antidote, they can all be bought from the merchant, but the price is a little expensive.

After asking about the location of the store, Anshir volunteered to go shopping.

Gordon brought pork chops to the farm in the village. He wanted to buy some honey, spider webs, running water plants, hollow fruits and the like.

These gadgets may also be sold in shops, but whether it is quality or price, the farm is more dominant.

Half a day later, Gordon and Anshir, who had harvested a lot, returned to the former's home. Most of what they bought was just materials, and it would take time to reconcile them if they wanted to make them into hunting props.

The battle against the General Sickle Crab for the first time seemed to have indeed left a deep psychological shadow on Anshir. He suggested that all hunting props, including ammunition, should be prepared according to the standard double quantity.

To be honest, Gordon didn't think it was necessary, but with a prepared mind, he didn't object.

In the next few days, the two and the cat almost never went out, hiding at home and reconciling props.

When Instructor Ernest pushed open the door of Gordon's house with the task slip sent by the guild, he was really taken aback by the rows of potions and crossbow shells that filled the table.

After being stunned for two seconds, he nodded appreciatively, "That's right, that's what it is, you should be fully prepared for hunting! It's better to go to a lot of trouble beforehand than find out that you're not prepared enough when it's time to use it."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed picking up crossbow bombs, Gordon threw the water-cooled bomb he had just completed to Anshir, jumped off the bed, and walked to the instructor in two steps, impatiently asking:

"Our promotion task has come down?"

"Here, here you are."

The instructor handed the slip to Gordon, "This promotion task may have unexpected risks. Look carefully before deciding whether to accept it. This time it's not an emergency, and it's okay to refuse."

Gordon picked up the slip.

——

"Maybe a female Charmander appears?"

Anshir, who came over to read the task list with Gordon, immediately noticed what Ernest referred to by "accidental risk".

He frowned and said, "If the male and female fire dragons appear together, it's already at the level of a five-star mission."

"It doesn't count." The instructor shook his head, "It is a five-star mission to hunt both male and female fire dragons at the same time."

Anshir and Gordon looked at each other, and they nodded their jaws, agreeing to this statement.

Seeing that they had no objections, the instructor sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe it's because the two of you formed a team to carry out the promotion task, and the guild increased the difficulty a little as appropriate.

The information about the presence of female fire dragons has been given to you. If you choose to avoid or fight, you must make plans in advance. My suggestion is, don't force it. "

"Understood."

"Thank you for your reminder."

Gordon and Anhill should be at the same time.

"Be careful."

The instructor didn't nag and remind repeatedly as before, but simply said something, and after taking a deep look at the two, he turned and left.

The unexpected unfolding made the atmosphere in the room somewhat dignified.

"Couple mixed doubles!" Gordon sat back on the bed, crossing his arms in exactly the same way as the instructor.

An Xier glanced at him and sat on the table, "Don't be ridiculous, tell me what you think."

"The instructor is right, you can't fight hard, a male fire dragon is within our handling range, I will hold the opponent's offensive head-on, attract attention, and you can do long-range output, it is perfect.

It's a completely different situation if you have two fires, male and female. It's hard for me to protect myself from the siege of two fire dragons, and I can't stop it if it turns to you in the middle. " Gordon said a little discouraged.

"Forget that you're not on top."

Anshir smiled and said: "We really don't have the strength to hunt two fire dragons at the same time now, if you want to yell 'Let's do it together!' and other nonsense, I will reward you with two water-cooling bullets first, so that you can calm down. "

Gordon didn't care about Anshir's teasing, and continued: "If you don't fight, there are only two options. Either avoid the female fire dragon from the very beginning, or find a way to lure the female fire dragon away."

"It's impossible to avoid it completely. The male and female fire dragons appear in the same area. It can only be a partnership. When the male fire dragon is attacked, the female fire dragon is unlikely to stand by." Anshir shook his head and rejected Gordon's first plan. .

"I can try to lure away the female fire dragon meow!" Piggy raised its paw and volunteered, but the slightly trembling beard proved that it was still a little scared in its heart.

Now it's Gordon's turn to shake his head, "The IQ of the flying dragon is not low. It's not easy to let the female fire dragon keep watching you. It's quite troublesome to let it run back halfway."

"Meow"

"I still have a way." Anshir frowned, seemingly reluctant.

"Tell me?"

"Faced with this situation, a special crossbow may have a good effect, but..."

"Don't be a fool! Say it!"

"Okay." Anshir sighed, and said, "Do you know about fertilizer bombs?"

"I don't know (meow)."

Gordon and Pork Chop shook their heads together, expressing that they had never heard of this kind of ammunition with an unusual name.

"It's a special crossbow made from monster feces. It smells strong and...indescribable." Anshir had a constipated expression on his face.

"If you hit it with a fertilizer bomb without the monster finding you, the stench of the fertilizer bomb will drive it away. Maybe we can use this method to separate the male and female fire dragons."

"This method sounds good!" Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard the words. "If the male and female dragons are far enough apart, we have a better chance of finishing the hunt before it comes back."

"I can also follow up after the female fire dragon flies away, and lure it to a farther place meow!" Pig Chop added with its paw raised.

"Okay, let's do that!"
