Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"What is this, meow?"

Pig Chop poured out the moss from the bottle and sniffed it. The smell, similar to that of moldy food, made him wrinkle his nose.

Don’t you think this thing can be used as food? I feel like I'm going to have a bad stomach. "

Babaka danced and screamed, and Maka explained to it, "It doesn't mean these moss, the moss is just used as a culture medium."

As he spoke, Maka came over, turned over a piece of moss, and showed it to Pig Chop, "It's these slime molds, these yellow things that look like snot."

Pork Chop's ears folded at the sight, "It's disgusting, meow, this doesn't even look like something edible, meow!"

"Why do you always want to eat it?" Maka flicked the pork chop's ears helplessly, "I brought this back for you to study explosives."

"Meow?" Pig Chop was stunned and stretched out his paw to touch the slime mold. "This thing can be used as an explosive, meow?"

It doesn't understand.

I thought I already had a rich enough knowledge about various explosive materials, including mushrooms, grass plants, fish, ores, and monster bone marrow.

It seems that there is indeed everything. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem strange to use these sticky things as explosives.

Gordon also came over, touched the slowly squirming slime mold, and asked the drunkards, "Why do you think this kind of thing can be used as an explosive?"

Oshula explained, "Didn't we accept the task of investigating the Broken Dragon before? The Broken Dragon seems to be looking for this thing. I am referring to this kind of slime mold.

After the two broken dragons, one big and one small, were stained with a little bit of this stuff, the small one was directly blown to death, and the big one was left with only one breath left. The power was very scary.

We thought we would bring it back to Pork Chop to see if it might come in handy. "

"Broken dragon, slime mold," Hayata mused. She had a best friend who regarded the broken dragon as her first love, and she had a fairly in-depth understanding of this monster.

"I remember that the explosive ability of the Broken Dragon comes from the symbiotic slime mold. It is a special slime mold that can even kill the Broken Dragon. It feels quite dangerous.

Have you shown these things to the scholars from the Institute of Ecology and the Institute of Plant Biology? "

"Of course." Maka picked up the wine glass again.

"After research, they said that it should be safe if left like this. The reason why it caused a violent explosion should be that it had a special reaction with certain substances in the saliva of Broken Dragon.

As for how to activate them, we don't know, let's leave it to Pig Chop to study slowly, come on. "

Oshula added, "Also, the glasses from the Botany Center said that if necessary, this slime mold can be cultivated in batches using ancient giant trees, but the prerequisite is that it must be thoroughly studied and confirmed to be safe.

If the precious ancient giant tree in the plantation center explodes, the glasses will have to fight for their lives. "

Pandan squeezed over and wanted to take a lick, but was kicked away mercilessly by Pig Chop.

It could no longer take its eyes away from those slime molds.

A few minutes ago, he thought these slime molds were disgusting, but now he just wanted to say, "How can there be such cute little creatures in the world?"

"If you don't have any clues from your research, you can ask Sophia." Hayata made a suggestion, "There should be few people in the world who know Broken Dragon better than her.

Starting from the ecology of Broken Dragon, we may gain something. "

Pork Chop nodded quickly.

Gordon patted its head and helped it put the moss inhabited by slime mold back into the bottle. "Eat first, and then go to your studio to study slowly."

Pig Chop quickly stuffed food into his mouth. After stuffing all his portion into his mouth, he jumped off the chair with the bottle in his arms and ran away. "I'm full, meow, I'll go back first, meow!"

"Spare some for fun, meow!" Xianglan also grabbed the remaining grilled fish on her plate and chased after him.

Looking at the backs of the two Ellu leaving one after another, Ted scratched his messy beard and said, "Let's talk, is it possible for pork chop and pandan?"

"What's possible?" Gordon reacted for two seconds before he realized what Ted was talking about. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, in Zhupa's eyes, Pandan is just an unsatisfactory and annoying sister. She won't go to him." Think about it that way.”

He actually asked Zhupa this question back then, and Zhupa compared his relationship with Feng Ying, which impressed him deeply.

Hayata's expression became subtle.

Although she hasn't seen anything special between Pork Chop and Pandan yet, it's really hard to say about feelings.

Maybe you get used to it, and you get used to it.

The alcoholic guys said they were not here to drink, but in the end they started drinking.

Gordon Hayata had business to go to the processing house for a while, so he stopped drinking with these three drunkards and left after filling his stomach.

Even so, the two of them still smelled heavily of alcohol.

When they arrived at the processing house and found Isana, she was complained by the former before she could even open her mouth, saying that they were drinking without her.

After fooling him with words such as "next time", Gordon took out the newly acquired rough stones.

"Wow, that's a very high-quality rough stone!" Isana, the beauty of Nagulli Village and a well-educated family, has a good eye.

But she reacted immediately, curled her lips and corrected: "Oh no, these things are called decorative beads in the New World.

I still don't understand why we call decorative beads and protective stones the other way around. "

Gordon shrugged, having complained about this issue years ago.

"The initial polishing and identification won't take long, you can wait for a while. By the way, why don't you let Hayata take it back and give it to me again?

When opening protective stones, I mean when opening decorative beads, luck, luck, etc. are still very important. "

"There's no need to be so forceful." Hayata was helpless.

"I wanted it, I almost forgot it!" Gordon snatched the rough stones back and put them in Sehayata's hands. He urged her to rub them for a while, and then handed them to Isana with her own hands.

"Oh! It feels like the rough stone is glowing!" Isana took out the polishing tool.

"Come on! High-quality attack beads! Give them to me!" Gordon prayed seriously.

Hayata: "."

The bustle here attracted the attention of the craftsmen in the processing house, as well as the hunters, who all came over one after another.

According to the rules set by the Commander-in-Chief, members of the investigation team are strictly prohibited from gambling, but it is human nature to like to gamble. "Activities" like opening rough stones, which have a similar excitement to gambling, have always been loved by everyone.

Especially when the rough stone is not your own.

"Come on! Be the first!"

Isana held a small hammer and a small file. After a while, the first rough stone gradually revealed its body.

After a series of appraisals, Isana held up the bead and said, "Oh! A good start, a very high-quality Zaofu bead, which can speed up the healing of wounds!"

"Um"

Gordon's expression is subtle. Although it is a very practical bead (in reality), it is still not sexy enough.

"The second one, is this a latent bead? It functions to suppress the aura and sense of presence. It is a very rare blessing."

Useless things! Gordon facepalmed.

In fact, to say it is useless is a bit excessive. This kind of protection is still very practical in covert operations, but with Yinbian's style, they rarely carry out covert reconnaissance missions.

Maybe that guy Julius would like it if he were here.

"Next is the third one, a composite bead. This kind is more difficult to identify. Wait a moment."

Isana tinkered with it for a long time before finally confirming the effect of this decorative bead, "the protection (diet) that suppresses energy consumption and makes the stomach less hungry, and the protection (taijutsu) that reduces physical consumption.

It's weird, but it goes well with your [Greed] set, Gordon. You can bring less food. Hehe. "

"It's not bad, it's quite practical." Gordon sighed, "Does it mean that the effect of Hayata's lucky protection has declined?"

Hayata rolled her eyes, "I told you not to be superstitious."

"The fourth daddy's beard! A big deal! Attack beads, high quality attack beads! The protection intensity provided by this bead alone is comparable to a king-level protective stone!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Amidst the tuts and exclamations of the crowd, Gordon laughed wildly.

Although it is said that in battle, saving one's life is often more important than attacking. Protective stones with effects such as elf protection and distance avoidance are precious.

But as a great swordsman, he still loves attack beads, simple and crude beads that can directly increase strength.

In excitement, Gordon picked up Hayata and spun around in a circle with the helplessness on his face.

"It's not finished yet, the fifth one, the fifth one. Well, it's a composite bead again. Let me identify it.

The first effect is Elf Blessing. What a great thing. This effect alone is great enough! Also, um, this seems to be very understanding? ! ! "

"!"

Hayata's eyes also lit up.
