Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Aziz is a person who comes and goes without a trace and doesn't stay in the stronghold most of the time.

He likes to take on investigative missions that go deep into strange places, and then take advantage of the opportunity to go fishing.

In his home, there is a giant ecological tank built with countless efforts and money, and the rare species he brings back will be stocked in it.

According to Alva, many species in that ecological tank are not even recorded in the illustrated book of the Institute of Ecology.

The "Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aquatic Animals of the New World", which was just completed and published in the past two years, was almost entirely completed by him and his partner, the aloof fish researcher.

He is also a world-famous fisherman.

But this time, Gordon and the others were pretty lucky.

They learned about Az from a passing seaman hunter.

The guy just completed his first sea dragon hunting mission yesterday and was going to take a vacation. He planned to drive a small fishing boat out to sea for a few days of leisurely fishing.

"Well, we just had dinner together. Brother Aziz went to the pier carrying a pile of fishing gear. If you hurry up, you should be able to stop him."

The two looked at each other in confusion and hurriedly ran towards the dock in the circulation area.

Finally, he was able to stop Aziz before he set sail.

Aziz was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, "Gordon? When did you come back?"

"I came here at noon yesterday. Are you in a hurry to go to sea now? I have something to ask for."

Aziz blinked and asked his hunting partner Yuzhi to refasten the cable before jumping out of the boat.

"It's not a hurry. What's the matter? Do you also want to go fishing together?"

"Well, no, didn't you submit a report to the Commander-in-Chief about the discovery of a mysterious light in the eastern sea?

That may be related to what we are investigating, so I wanted to find out the details from you. "Gordon said straight to the point.

"!!"

Az's eyes were shining.

"Fish roe! Tie up the boat. Cancel the plan to go to sea. Just throw the fishing gear into the cabin first!"

After saying that, he stretched out his arms and hooked onto the shoulders of Gordon and Alva, "Let's go have a meal together and talk in detail!"

"Didn't you just finish eating?" Pig Chop asked.

"Who said that?"

"The Sea Folk hunter who just had dinner with you."

"Ahem, I'm feeling very hungry today!"

The two of you and the cat were staring at him. Your intention was too obvious.

But Aziz was thick-skinned enough, bared his white teeth, and half dragged, half dragged them back to the Shanmao Pavilion and ordered a table of dishes.

"It was a dark night!"

Before Gordon and the others could ask any more questions, Aziz began to tell the story enthusiastically.

"The escorting fishing fleet is fishing in that sea area."

"Fishing in the middle of the night?" Zhupa asked curiously.

Fish Roe explained in a low voice, "Some fish are easier to catch at night."

"Yes, we dragged a net at that time and the harvest was pretty good. When we were starting the winch to pull back, strange and ever-changing light spots appeared on the dark sea surface.

Then the fishing net was scratched by something, and of course all the fish in the net were gone.

Those light spots only appeared for less than half a minute, then sank into the sea and disappeared. "

The food and wine were on the table, but no one looked at them.

Alva pushed up his glasses, "As far as I know, there are many creatures that can emit light in the sea, right? For example, some molluscs?

Are you sure it's not a squid group or something? "

Aziz crossed his arms and said a little dissatisfied: "Well, how can you not distinguish between those?

Although those light spots kept flickering and changing, they had obvious regularity, which meant that they came from the same large creature and could not be a school of fish.

Well, I wanted to jump into the sea to have a look, but I was held back by others. Otherwise, I might have been able to see her true appearance. What a pity. "

Gordon looked up at the highest point of the Star Stronghold, the Star Ship that had been lifted to the top of the mountain and hung there for half a century, and laughed dryly, "It's a good thing you didn't jump."

"Eh, that's all I know, so what?" Aziz asked enthusiastically: "Eh, I've heard from the old crew of the fishing fleet that there is a 'moving light' in that sea area.

Um, I was still wondering if it could be the 'God of the Sea', but it looks completely different, so what is it? Another ancient dragon? "

Gordon had a headache.

I originally thought about whether it was possible to get more detailed information from Aziz, but the result was no different from the report.

And I got stuck on this fisherman.

Gordon did not immediately reveal the specific content of the investigation mission or what happened to "Mingbosaurus".

After thinking for a while, he asked Aziz: "With your character, when you submit the report, you will definitely apply to the Commander-in-Chief to investigate the matter in depth, right?

The Commander-in-Chief didn’t agree? Did you say the reason? "

Az scratched his head after hearing this. There was no way to hide this. Gordon could go to the Commander-in-Chief for verification at any time.

"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief told me at the time that the appearance of 'strange lights' in the eastern sea has always happened. It is not an abnormal situation, and there is no need to conduct an in-depth investigation for the time being."

It turned out to be this reason.

Gordon understood.

Just like the corpse dragon, if the corpse dragon appears in the ancient tree forest, the commander-in-chief will definitely arrange for a high-ranking hunter to follow and investigate.

But if the Corpse Dragon appears deep in the Miasma Valley, no one will bother with this matter. After all, the Corpse Dragon's lair has always been there.

"Is your mission related to that guy? Take me with you! Since the other party is a creature from the sea, I can definitely help!" Az no longer concealed his intentions and asked excitedly.

Pork Chop and Alva looked at Gordon.

They all thought it was good to let Az join. The target of this investigation was very likely to be the ancient dragon species Mingbo Dragon. With two upper hunters traveling together, safety would be more guaranteed.

Of course, it was Gordon who decided in the end.

Gordon covered his face.

Does anyone still remember that he came out this time to solve the problem of [Mad Mark] making people crazy through practice?

"Okay, let's go together. Isn't it just from one person and one cat, to two people and one cat, and then to three people and two cats?" Gordon waved his hand as if giving up.

At least, they were not here for the hunting target this time, so there was no need to completely unlock the restrictions of [Mad Mark] and fight with the target.

If there is a chance to activate [Mad Mark], and then try to suppress and resolve the madness bit by bit, it is also a good training opportunity.

"So which sea area are we going to? Is it the strait near the big island in the east? Or the warm South China Sea? Or the icy sea near the Everfrost Map?

Hey, where did that guy go? I'm so anxious!"

"Not in the sea, but in the Coral Plateau. And according to the hunter's previous eyewitness report, it should be in the northern part of the Coral Plateau, in the area with high terrain."

"Not in the sea? Not even in the water?" Az blinked.

"No."

"Then we can't fish anymore." Az, who was originally very excited, was visibly depressed.

Gordon was helpless, "If you want to quit, it's still time."

"Wait!" Alva signaled Gordon not to speak first.

He hooked Az's shoulder, "Brother, why do you have to limit fishing to the water? You need to open your mind!

What kind of place is the Coral Plateau? Don't you know?

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of corals, and at your feet are swaying eels darting in and out, and black-capped manta rays are floating in the sky.

Isn't air water? Isn't wind the wave? The breath is salty, and you dare to say that it is not the seabed?

It's not that there are no fish in the Coral Plateau, it should be said that all the creatures living in the Coral Plateau.

All! Are! Fish!!"

"What a outrageous statement, meow?!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!!!" Az clenched his fists.

It's on fire!
