Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 21 21. Skill Analysis

With two "pops", Lan En and Bernie jumped from the boat into the muddy beach.

"This is the area outside the fishery where fish are abundant. It's easy to find water ghosts here. Those beasts don't even bother to avoid people now."

Lan En's nose flapped, and the vapor-rich wind was mixed with all kinds of fishy smells.

The smell of the beach is not pleasant, it smells like fish, blood, and sea.

If it were a pampered man, his breakfast would be free of charge with the first breath.

Through the witcher's mutated senses, he felt that these smells were wrapping around him like colorful halos.

Finally, after careful identification, he selected his target.

——A disgusting smell that resembles rotting fish, shrimp, and seaweed mixed together.

This is the smell of water ghosts.

After focusing on a smell, the air where the smell is distributed is like a streamer, "highlighted" in the witcher's field of vision.

The rest of the messy odors are filtered out.

Of course, being able to find the correct traces so easily was also due to the frequent activities of this group of water ghosts, which caused the smell here to be overly fresh.

Logically speaking, these smells alone would be enough for Lan En to find the group of water ghosts directly.

But he did not move immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked Bernie, who had already started to take off the bow and arrow from his back.

"Can you track those water ghosts?"

Bernie glanced at the young man in surprise, isn't this your job?

But he didn’t say much.

"These obvious footprints, as well as the broken scales of the water ghost, any individual will do."

"." The Mentos in his mind sent out a series of ellipses of unknown meaning.

Lan En looked at the beach in front of him expressionlessly.

The black and smelly mud was dotted with all kinds of strange and messy marks.

Caused by wild animals, drifting objects, and water ghosts.

To those who have no tracking experience, this is just a messy mud field.

It is impossible to distinguish the scales of a water ghost from the scales of a fish, and the so-called "obvious footprints" cannot be seen at all under the messy traces.

I'm a human being and I'm really sorry!

The corners of Lan En's mouth twitched vaguely.

"Very good. I need to adjust my combat status. I'll leave the tracking to you."

There wasn't much explanation, and it happened that Bernie didn't want to ask any more questions. Anyway, this job was actually very easy for him.

So the man wearing long leather gloves walked forward and began to naturally examine various traces and use this to formulate a direction of travel.

In Lan En's mind, Mentos began to work according to Lan En's plan.

"New analysis item-[Trace Detection]

Skill source-[Fisherman Bernie]

In the process of information integration and analysis, the current progress is - 1%. "

"The results of the analysis will be passed on to me in the evening. I don't want my head to be as swollen as a Coke bottle when I deal with the water ghost."

"Roger that, sir."

Mentos’ intelligent voice follows the good and the good.

The process of transferring knowledge through Intelligent Brain cannot be changed because of lack of authority. Painful for sure.

But it’s okay to choose a time to suffer.

The exchange in his mind was rapid, and Bernie was still looking down at the mud.

Lan Enze didn't understand at all why he could always detect all kinds of subtle traces.

For example, seeing a shallow scratch on the mud, or finding clues in the already messy pile of footprints, and then adjusting the direction immediately.

The adjustment in that direction was much more precise than the scent he caught with his witcher sense of smell.

Lan En followed and sighed. Extraordinary senses also require knowledge and experience to use them more efficiently.

Every qualified witcher is an out-and-out master of pursuit.

Although I don’t regret killing my teacher with my own hands, I still need to make up for my lack of experience and ability.

In a world with backward productivity, even the crafts of butchers cutting meat and coopers hoisting barrels are passed down from family to family, or can only be learned by apprentices who have to pay and work hard.

Not to mention the ability to feed a large family such as hunting and tracking.

But fortunately, Lan En's good partner allows him to extract and summarize nutritious knowledge just by looking at it.

"Your tracking methods seem to be different from mine over there."

Following Bernie, Lan En tried to pretend to be knowledgeable.

Regardless of whether it’s right or not, you still have enough confidence!

"Just like just now, you were looking at the scratch on the mud, and we usually focus on the mess next to it."

Bernie thought back to the "messy" in the young man's mouth.

Aren't those signs of dead fish or rotten meat, dragged into the hole by crabs?

What use is this for tracking water ghosts?

Bernie had doubts, but he didn’t dare to say anything.

After all, who knows what a demon hunter’s tracking skills are?

Maybe they can use crabs to tell fortunes?

"The scratches are the marks made by the water ghost's toes on the ground. There are webs between their fingers, and the marks are obviously different."

Bernie answered the questions honestly.

"[Trace Detection] is undergoing skill calibration

In the process of information integration and analysis, the current progress is - 9%. "

"Sir, I suggest you keep trying to ask questions."

Mentos' beep made Lan feel happy.

Of course, the brain can extract a skill from a person just by observing it, but if the skill holder explains the skill information, the progress bar will of course accumulate faster.

But Lan En was not prepared to keep asking questions like this.

Asking one or two questions is a technical exchange, but asking too many questions means showing that you don’t know anything? Pure and innocent.

This tracking process was not long. When we reached a small slope about two hundred meters away from where we landed, the chirping cries of the water ghosts could easily be heard by ordinary people.

After crossing this slope, you should be able to see groups of monsters.

Bernie turned to look at Lan En, his meaning was obvious——

Now it's your job.

The young man was completely different from the previous tracking process, and stepped forward without hesitation.

The sharp silver sword of the Bear School was unsheathed amidst the low and gentle sound of metal friction.

The gentle voice meant that the hand holding the sword was very stable, and it gave Bernie a sense of peace of mind.

"Put away your bow. There are only five water ghosts in total. I can handle them. We have never cooperated before, and your arrows may interfere with me."

So Bernie put the bow and arrow back on his back.

He had already doubted Lan En's tracking skills along the way, but now that he saw the young man directly telling the exact number of these water ghosts, he completely threw away his doubts.

The young man walked leisurely across the hill, making gestures with his free left hand in front of him.

The golden magic light flashed away, and a magic rune of the same color began to wander around Lan En's body.

"Queen."

Lan En, who had completely changed his clothes, planned to use a more radical fighting style this time.

Good equipment gives him a lot of confidence.

In this case, the spherical [Quen] that applies the school knowledge is not suitable, but the original version is more advantageous.

A few screams at the foot of the hill suddenly fell silent, and five pairs of eyelidless dead fish eyes stared at the figure slowly walking down the hill.

Then

"Wow!!!"*5
