Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Anxier's proposal was unanimously approved by the hunters.

The leader of the second group certainly had no objection. He selected some scales stained with dried blood or fragments of claws and distributed them to the hunters, asking them to carry them with them.

In the next few days, these taboo materials made the hunters experience what nightmares are.

Endless malice and resentment surrounded them like evil spirits.

Roars, wails, and meaningless whispers lingered in their ears all the time.

It was like a real gaze, like a sharp dagger, gently touching the back of the neck.

I looked back vigilantly, but there was nothing behind me.

When I closed my eyes at night, what appeared in front of me was not the reassuring darkness, but the boundless red lotus fire.

Under me was no longer a stable bed, but a huge mouth with intertwined fangs.

As the huge mouth closed, I suddenly opened my eyes and stood up.

The illusion in front of me dissipated.

When he wanted to get out of bed to get some fresh air, he was surprised to find that the floor of the room had disappeared, replaced by a purgatory abyss filled with bones, blood and flames.

If it weren't for the fact that the nerves of these upper hunters had been polished to be as tough as steel, they would have gone crazy that night.

The next day, Julius and Ted said they would withdraw from the competition.

Everyone was not surprised by Julius, because he was not interested in these taboo materials in the first place. The reason why he didn't withdraw yesterday was that he didn't want to appear too unsociable.

Everyone was a little surprised that Ted withdrew so quickly, because this guy was famous for his big heart.

And his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had cried yesterday.

Under repeated questioning by Oshura and others, he finally told about the nightmare that had tormented him all night.

He saw his dead mother turned into a half-human, half-dragon, biting his father, sister, and Maka to death, chewing them up, and swallowing them, while he could not move.

"I don't think this is a good thing!"

After throwing away the piece of tusk assigned to him, Ted went to drink with a grumble.

On the third day, Maka and Nadia decided to quit.

Maka could still hold on, but her insect hunting was almost crazy. As an insect stick user, it was impossible for her to give up her insect hunting partners for a piece of equipment.

Nadia saw those sacrificed partners die tragically in front of her again and again.

Contrary to the impression given by her appearance, she is a thoughtful person. Even if she knows that these are illusions, she doesn't want to continue to endure it.

By the fourth day, the hunters have gradually become familiar with the feeling of being cursed by resentment.

The whispers, howls, and illusions gradually dissipated.

But Hayata chose to quit at this time.

Because she found that under the influence of that resentment, her thinking would become more aggressive, and her sword power and sword energy would become less stable.

Perhaps after a long period of adaptation and training, she could adapt to all this, but it seemed unnecessary.

After obtaining some materials from the Ice Curse Dragon that died in the mouth of the Red Dragon, the leader of the second phase group promised to build a new set of [Avalanche] (Avalanche Gamma) for her.

If that set of armor is used as the main equipment, her style will be more guerrilla than strong attack.

The conflict in this regard will be more obvious.

After her, Ansir also chose to withdraw.

With a fighting style mainly based on sniping, and the need to command battles many times, he requires himself to remain absolutely calm.

Equipment made of taboo materials may become an unstable factor, and he does not want to take this risk.

So far, only Gordon, Fengying, Gale, Aiden and Osura are still participating in the competition for taboo equipment.

What needs to be determined next is no longer "qualification", but the issue of "adaptability".

The most important one was naturally the set of Red Dragon armor.

With the help of the professor, everyone conducted a series of tests that were either reliable or unreliable.

The person who had the best affinity with Red Dragon materials was undoubtedly Feng Ying.

Perhaps it was because of the resonance?

Those forbidden materials from Red Dragon caused the least mental pressure on her, but the highest energy activity, as if they did not reject her.

After discussion, the ownership of this set of armor finally fell on her.

Feng Ying was so happy that her nose was full of snot bubbles.

She originally thought that she would be satisfied with just one weapon, but it turned out to be a whole set of armor? !

She stroked the [Underworld Light] on her body, "You are very good, but I'm sorry, you have to retire and put it in the bottom of the box.

Ahahahaha!"

After roughly measuring Feng Ying's body with his eyes, the leader of the second phase group said: "Miss Feng Ying is relatively petite, so the materials used will be relatively less.

In this way, the remaining materials should be enough to make three light weapons."

"That's it, right?" Gale said casually: "I, Osura, Aiden, two light crossbows and a one-handed sword, all light weapons, just right!

As for Gordon, the dragon horn of the Huanghei Dragon is his. The desire for destruction attached to that thing is too strong. Among us, only he can control it."

The leader of the second phase group was a little dissatisfied with Gale's tone of dividing raw meat.

But on second thought, this seems to be the most suitable way of distribution.

The hunters discussed with each other and had no objection to this distribution method, so they decided on it.

The journey of thousands of kilometers from the New World to the Old World was uneventful.

Perhaps due to the influence of the forbidden materials, they did not encounter monster attacks or catch many fish along the way.

More than 20 days later, the iconic lighthouse and stone pillars of Tangia Port appeared at the end of the sea horizon.

They did not feel anything in the new world, but when they were really close to their homeland, everyone was filled with an indescribable excitement.

"We are back!"

"I am the first to arrive!"

Before the ship completely stopped, Feng Ying and Ted rushed over the railings and jumped onto the dock.

"Bang!"

Wearing a full set of heavy armor and weapons, Ted, who probably weighed half a ton, crushed the wooden planks of the dock pier when he landed.

This attracted the attention of passers-by around.

The guild knight who received the letter a few days in advance and was waiting here under the assignment of the great elder jumped in the corner of his eye.

Will the guild reimburse the maintenance costs, or not?

The gangway was lowered and everyone got off the ship.

Maka kicked Ted's thighs hard and dragged the embarrassing guy to the back.

The guild knight sorted out his mood and bowed to the master craftsman in charge.

"Master Cambe."

"Bilko, it's you." The master asked with a smile, leaning on the umbrella he always carried with him, "Does the elder have any message?"

"Yes, the elder said: 'He agrees with the materials and equipment.' And, the dragon workers received the news and have taken people and tools to the island."

This message is vague, but everyone knows what it means, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though they have discussed the distribution of taboo equipment on the way, if the elder disagrees and requires all materials to be banned, they can only obey orders.

"The second thing is, the Great Elder said: 'The chaos has calmed down a bit recently, and the situation in various places is still under control. It is a bit inhumane to ask you to rush back from thousands of miles away and immediately engage in battle.

You will be given ten days to visit your relatives and rest. Within ten days, you can report to the headquarters of the East Doruma Guild.'"

"Great!" Feng Ying cheered.

The vacation given by the Great Elder is not short. Even though Yanhuo Village is a long way away and she has to take an airship back and forth, minus the time on the road, she can still go home for two or three days to see her relatives and friends.

Ted Osura plans to return to Minagard, while Maka plans to go back to Loklak first, and Xianglan will go with her.

The others are all preparing to go to East Doruma.

Gordon Hayata is going to see his baby daughter. If there is enough time, he can also take the child back to his hometown.

Needless to say, Anxier and others were born there.

"Pork Chop, do you want to go to East Doruma with us, or do you want to go back to Shuretsen Hill?" Gordon looked at Pork Chop who was scratching his ears beside him.

"I plan to go to Moga Village first, meow, where is the boat meow?"
