Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon noticed that although the uncle tried his best to keep a straight face, he tried to put on a calm expression of "this thing is just a small thing to me".

But the smugness from the corner of his mouth couldn't be blocked even by the extremely lush beard.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Gordon stepped forward, came to the long table, held the hilt of the Explosive Knife with both hands, raised it with a soft drink, and at the same time pressed his body back slightly, tensing up, making a standard move. The big sword is ready for battle.

"Hmph! That's not how this murder weapon is used!"

The face of the blacksmith shop owner finally couldn't hold back anymore. He walked towards Gordon quickly, snatched the explosive knife in the latter's hand, and shook the arm holding the sword lightly.

"Clang!" There was a metallic clang.

Five hooked sickle-shaped sharp blades shining with cold light popped out from the smooth blade of the Explosive Knife, together with the huge hook claw at the tip of the knife, they formed the unique blade of the Explosive Knife.

"This is the real posture of the Explosive Knife!" the blacksmith owner proudly said.

"Don't underestimate these gleaming little things, their sharpness is beyond your imagination, do you know why the Explosive Knife is designed so that the hook claw can be retracted into the sword body?

It is to prevent the hunter from carrying it behind his back, these small claws will tear the user's flesh and armor together! "

Gordon took the Explosive Knife from the owner of the blacksmith with a look of surprise on his face. After observing it carefully for a while, he asked, "Then how do I get these blades back?"

"As long as the back of the sword is facing downwards and the blade is facing upwards, that is, the action of retracting the big sword on the back, and at the same time shaking the lower hilt, the mechanism in the sword body will automatically retract the blade."

Gordon experimented with the method the blacksmith owner said.

Sure enough, with another metal sound, the metal blades that were easily reminiscent of monster claws were withdrawn from the blade and hidden.

"Hey, just enjoy the sight of the monster's scales and flesh flying under her sharp claws." The blacksmith shop owner grinned wide, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"I can't wait!"

After hastily saying goodbye to the blacksmith shop owner, Gordon couldn't wait to take the explosive knife and ran to the training ground, wanting to experience the wonderful feeling of wielding this great sword as soon as possible.

In the training ground, the instructor seemed to have been waiting for a while.

The burly middle-aged man patted a wooden stake wrapped in waste leather beside him, which was as thick as an adult man's thigh, and hurriedly said:

"I knew that you kid would rush to try out a new weapon as soon as you got it. I prepared all the targets for you. Come and experience the power of heavy weapons!"

Gordon smiled, didn't say much, and directly raised the explosive knife in his hand.

The steel clattered, and the metal claws popped out of the blade. Gordon breathed out, adjusted his breath, and let out a shout.

"Drink!"

The muscles of the whole body are tense, and the footsteps are staggered to drive the waist and upper body to rotate. The muscles and tendons of the whole body are like a fully stretched bowstring, gathering every bit of strength on the explosive knife, and then bursting out instantly.

The sharp hooks sliced ​​through the leather-covered stumps with ease, but that was only the beginning.

As the power continued to be input along the handle of the knife, superimposed on the huge inertia of the Explosive Knife itself, amidst a tearing sound, the wooden stake target with a height of one person was easily swung into two sections.

Countless fine pieces of leather and wood were scattered and scattered, making the ground of the training ground a mess.

Although he was prepared in his heart, the power of the explosive knife still far exceeded Gordon's expectations.

If you use a hunter's knife and swing it hard enough, you should be able to cut the leather on the stake with one blow, right? But that is also the limit.

The slash of the Explosive Knife is not as simple as "cutting" or "cutting", but "tearing".

It can be predicted that the next second after those metal claws are inserted into the monster's body, their scales and flesh will be torn into pieces in an instant.

This is the attack method of the great sword, brutal and direct.

"Not bad."

The instructor crossed his arms and said jokingly: "Since the new weapon is in hand and the basic training of the big sword has been completed, shouldn't it be time to accept a task and practice it?"

Gordon put the explosive knife on the ground.

"I wish I could!"

Crusade mission: Pacifier of the Forest (★)

Task content: Crusade against 10 blue velociraptors

Remuneration: 2000z

Mission location: West Xiulet area

Limited time: 10 days

There are blue velociraptors everywhere in Xixiu Letsen Hill, and the herbivorous dragons and spirit deer are almost eaten up. Please wipe out some of them and reduce their number!

——

The entrustment was received from the village chief.

According to the instructor, in big cities like Minagarde and Dongdorma, there will be special hunter gathering places, which not only provide intermediary, accommodation, catering and other services.

There is also a cute Kanban lady!

In comparison, the dry and always confused village head old man is really boring.

Clipping the parchment that recorded the mission entrustment into the hunter's notebook, Gordon was going to go home first, and set off immediately when he was ready.

It was said to be preparations, but in fact it was just going back and putting on the armor. As for hunting props, Gordon, who almost went bankrupt in order to make the Explosive Knife, didn't bring anything.

Anyway, in the hunting camp, there will be supplies prepared by the Hunter Guild.

It's not about hunting some dangerous large monsters, those things are enough.

Compared with Gordon's excitement, the pork chop seemed a little nervous.

This is the first mission since it became a hunting cat, and the target is still the most troublesome group of blue velociraptors in the Ailu tribe.

The so-called blue velociraptor is not a powerful monster, but a small carnivorous dinosaur with a spine height of about 150 centimeters. Its individual strength is even worse than that of a big wild boar, and it can be regarded as the lowest level of predators.

Not to mention Gordon, who had changed into a burst knife, even he who used to hold a hunter's knife would not take it too seriously.

However, for the wild Ellu group, these cunning, ferocious, and teamwork guys are more threatening than those large monsters.

Almost every year, Ailu is injured or even dies in their mouths.

Seeing Pig Chop's uneasiness, Gordon patted its nutshell helmet.

"Don't worry, they are just bullying guys. After entering the hunting ground, your main task is to help me guard my surroundings, and I will deal with those 'Senqiu villains'!"

Pig Chop grasped the cat pick with both hands, and shook his head vigorously: "I will work hard too! They, their heads are very fragile meow, my father said, as long as you use the cat pick to hit their eyes hard, they will be fine." Down Meow!"

"Ha, that's what it takes! Blue Athlon is nothing, do you know why I chose this mission?" Gordon wiped his nose with his thumb and asked with a smile.

"Because the family has no money, meow? The reward for this task is quite high, meow!"

"Well, that's just one of the reasons!"

Gordon waved his hands awkwardly, "Material, it's material! I want to get a lot of blue velociraptor skins, scales, claws and teeth."

"Meow? Are you selling money meow?" Pork Chop's little furry face was full of confusion.

"."

Gordon glanced at his partner helplessly, "I'm not that financially obsessed yet, hey, I'm not playing charades anymore, it's to build new armor.

If we want to hunt stronger monsters, this kind of 'kindergarten uniform' is not enough for us. The goal of our trip is to collect the materials for the Qilan Velociraptor suit! "
