Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

He bought the Dragon Stone he wanted, but Anshir was always warning him that he found nothing, which made Gordon feel a little embarrassed.

So Gordon took the initiative to propose that after finding the ore veins, they can be exchanged, and he will be on guard, and Anshir will go to mine.

Unexpectedly, Anshir said that he had no interest in mining, and he even admitted that he had no interest in metal weapons and armor.

Strong, easy to collect materials, and easy to build are indeed the advantages of metal equipment, but on the other hand, metal equipment also represents the disadvantages of heavy, lack of additional attributes, and low upper limit.

Not in line with his "aesthetic".

"So you came to the volcano to travel?" Gordon couldn't help but complain.

"You can't say that, it's mainly to get familiar with the environment of the hunting ground."

Perhaps it was Gordon's "not taking advantage" attitude of getting along with him that won his favor, and Anshir no longer insisted on his crappy rhetoric of "collecting ammunition materials".

But he still didn't say it clearly, he just briefly mentioned "I'm more concerned about a certain monster", and then changed the topic.

"Gordon, the main purpose of your coming to Naguli Village is to dig the protective stone, right? Have you ever thought about the specific effect of the protective stone?"

Gordon was startled when he heard this.

He seemed, as if he hadn't really considered this issue in detail.

"Uh, probably the kind that increases strength and destructive power?" As a great swordsman who pursues extreme destructive power, Gordon gave an answer that should be quite satisfactory in his opinion.

"Ha." Anshir sighed, "I think you don't understand at all?"

Gordon: "?"

Seeing Gordon's face full of greetings, Anshir had no choice but to explain patiently: "In most cases, protective stones are not used to pursue strength improvement.

There is indeed a protective stone that increases the hunter's strength (attack power), but even the best protective stone can only increase the strength by a few percent. It is effective, but it cannot play a decisive role.

Is there a big difference between killing a monster with ten knives and killing a monster with eleven knives? "

"It seems that there is really not much difference."

Seeing that Gordon was still in a daze, Anshir took out a shimmering light blue protective stone from between his neckline, "Take my protective stone for example.

This guardian stone possesses the power of "Elf's Protection". The effect is to help me offset part of the damage at certain times. It sounds uncontrollable, doesn't it? But it may save my life sometimes, and it belongs to the protective stone of Wan essential oil.

Hunters tend to be more "functional" in the selection of stone protection effects, such as improving the resistance to vibration, such as improving the resistance to noise.

A while ago, I heard that a lucky person got a super-effective 'poison resistance' amulet. As long as he wears that amulet, he will never have to worry about being poisoned. "

"So powerful? Is the poison of the fire dragon all right?" Gordon asked with his eyes wide open.

"Well, all toxins are nullified."

Gordon somewhat understood what Anshir meant. Compared with the effect of saving his life at this critical moment, a slight increase in strength is really insignificant.

But having said that, he didn't even know what effects the protective stone had, so naturally he couldn't say what kind of effect he expected.

Seeing Gordon's lack of cognition on the effect of the protective stone, Anshir continued: "I am not a swordsman myself, so I can't tell what kind of protective stone is suitable for you.

I can only say this, among the few swordsmen I know, there is a sledgehammer whose stone protection effect is 'faint (KO technique)', which can improve the effect of stunning monsters, and there is a great sword user whose stone protection effect is It is 'earplugs', which can largely ignore the roar of monsters. There is also a double swordsman who likes to use poison attribute double swords. The effect of the stone protection is 'poison attribute enhancement'.

No one can tell how many kinds of protective stones there are in the world. All in all, try to choose the protective stone that suits your combat habits as much as possible. "

Listening to Anshir's description, although Gordon knew that his luck was not very good, he couldn't help but have a wonderful fantasy of digging out the best protective stone in his heart.

"Let's go! Let's dig the guard stone now!" Gordon picked up the pickaxe, looking excited as if he wanted to dig the super guard stone right away.

"Are you sick!?" Anshir seemed to have forgotten "elegance", and complained mercilessly: "There is no relic ore vein that can dig out the guard stone in this hunting ground, okay? If you want to dig metal ore, hurry up Go dig!"

"oh"

Gordon came to another mining site dejectedly, and waved the iron pick as if venting, the sound of clanging echoed endlessly in the cave.

Anshir once again set up the ore crystal nova to maintain vigilance.

Another period of time passed, and the pig chop who had nothing to do until he was a little sleepy suddenly trembled and pricked up his ears.

"There's a monster's howling meow! It might be Athlon meow!" Pig Chop warned loudly.

"Is it finally here?"

Anshir narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and signaled for Gordon, who was about to come over, to continue digging, while he turned the heavy crossbow to the direction of the tunnel where the howling sound came from.

Before leaving the camp, he showed Gordon the shooting skills. Although he showed admiration in the end, he was a little dissatisfied.

As he expected, under the high-temperature environment of the volcano, the trajectory of the crossbow seems to be slightly different from usual.

But now that he was in the hunting ground, he couldn't just fire cannons indiscriminately for experiments. It happened that there were monsters attracted by the sound of Gordon's mining, which was the best target.

Ten or so seconds later, two scarlet agile figures appeared in the scope - Red Velociraptor.

As a subspecies of the velociraptor group that lives in harsh environments such as volcanoes and swamps, the red velociraptor has a gelatinous skin with excellent heat insulation. The bright color reminds people of some poisonous amphibians.

Red velociraptors don't have the sharp, pointed teeth of their blue cousins, but they do have another deadly weapon -- venom.

The venom sprayed from the venom gland at the mouth of the throat is even poisonous enough to make the flying dragon feel afraid.

On the far side, Anshir, who had already entered the sniper mode, did not appear nervous at all.

venom? With that poor spray distance, can it get close?

Pull the bolt machine calmly, and with a muffled "bang", the crossbow bullets shoot out.

Almost at the same time that the heavy ballista spouted flames, one of the red velociraptors fell to the ground, and the inertia of high-speed running caused its body to roll several times on the ground.

It groaned and wanted to stand up, but that was obviously an extravagant hope. One of its knees was pierced by a crossbow bullet. Judging from the weird bending angle of its calf, the knee bone had been completely shattered.

Anshir frowned, the part he originally aimed at was actually the ankle.

Immediately afterwards there was another bang, and the other red velociraptor also fell to the ground, struggling and whining.

Compared with the high-speed running prey, the two red velociraptors lying on the ground and unable to get up were like targets in front of Anshir's eyes, and it was not easy to miss them.

After a few random shots, the world was quiet.

"Sure enough, will the high temperature environment and the rising heat of the magma have some impact on precise sniping?" Anshir said to himself.

"Need to re-acclimate to the ballistics."

ps. Well, everyone in the game likes to pursue extreme damage. If you really want to hunt, maybe most people will pay more attention to life-saving, right?
