Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The crisis in Suna Ryumaru has been resolved, but the battle is not completely over yet.

The fight between Xianglan and Sand Dragon King continues.

Although due to reasons such as the length of the weapon, it is difficult to quickly eliminate opponents.

However, relying on her agility and combat experience accumulated in countless bloody battles that ordinary people could not imagine, Xianglan easily gained the upper hand.

"Take care of the wounded."

Fufu seemed to have unlocked some of her shackles and became more courageous. After giving orders to the fish, she jumped off the side of the ship alone and rushed towards the battle group that was still going on not far away.

Fish Steak looked very tangled, his eyes kept going back and forth between the wounded man on the side and Fufu's retreating back.

Noticing its hesitation, the second prince patted the back of its head and said, "The injuries of the wounded are not too serious, and we can handle them ourselves.

If you want to help, go and don't be left behind like me. "

"Meow?"

Fish Pat tilted his head and looked at the melancholy second prince.

Then, it put down the huge medicine pot on its back, "This contains gel for treating trauma. Pour it directly on the wound to stop the bleeding."

After giving the simple instructions, Yuba adjusted his acorn cat armor and got on all fours to catch up.

"The steps must be light and fast, and never stop."

Fufu kept mumbling and repeating the precautions the fishermen told her, and she ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Even if you wear desert-specific sand boots that increase the ground area, it is still very easy to get stuck when walking on this sandy sea with fine sand and quicksand.

No wonder even local hunters are rarely willing to go deep into the core area of ​​​​this sand sea.

As she got closer and closer to the target, she didn't know whether it was the vibration caused by her not light steps that stimulated the Sand Dragon King, or it was due to some other reason.

The Sand Dragon King, who was struggling to deal with Xianglan's harassment, suddenly changed direction, jumped into the sea of ​​sand, and accelerated toward her.

Faced with such changes, Xianglan was also a little helpless.

It can understand Fufu and the others' impulses and worries, but to be honest, the opponent is just a Sand Dragon King, and it doesn't need help.

Or to put it more bluntly, they are just adding to the chaos.

But who doesn’t come here like this?

Watching Fufu try to distance herself from the approaching Sand Dragon King, but she couldn't run fast because her feet were sucked by the fine sand, and she was rolling and crawling in embarrassment.

Xianglan sighed again and took out a sonic bomb from her backpack.

However, the moment it pulled out the fuse and before it had time to throw out the sonic boom bomb, another sonic boom bomb landed on the Sand Dragon King's side first.

The impact point of the sonic bomb was not perfect, it was nearly ten meters away from the target, but the timing was pretty good. The Sand Dragon King, who was swimming in the sand sea, was once again blown out of the sand by the high-frequency noise.

It was the fish steak that arrived just in time.

"Beautiful!" Fufu cheered.

He stretched his bow, nocked an arrow, and slid forward in one go, quickly approaching the Sand Dragon King who was struggling on the ground.

She has not yet learned advanced skills such as Dragon Arrow. If she wants to increase the power of her shooting, the most direct way is to get closer to the target.

Xianglan also threw aside the sonic bomb in her hand, drew her cat sword and approached quickly, meowing loudly to remind, "Don't aim, meow!"

This guy's skull is very hard, and his neck and back are his real weaknesses! "

After accusing her strength and drawing the bow fully, Fufu was about to shoot the arrow in her hand. Hearing this, Fufu quickly changed direction and shot the arrow into the side of the Sand Dragon King's neck.

Xianglan, who arrived quickly, also wielded the cat sword, aimed at the carotid artery and "swiped" the sword several times, cutting open several bleeding wounds.

Twenty or thirty meters away, Fish Pat, who wanted to help but didn't dare to get too close, was jumping on the spot, "The paralysis trap is ready, meow! The capture tranquilizer bombs are also ready, meow!"

When it is weak, lure it over, meow, and then come down and give it the finishing blow, meow! "

Seeing that her disciple was so timid, a cross vein appeared on Xianglan's forehead, "It's still too early to be weak, meow! Come over here and attack together, meow!"

With Xianglan as the main force, this sand dragon king naturally failed to make any splash.

Covered in wounds, suffering severe blood loss, and getting weaker and weaker, it finally fell into the paralysis trap set by Fish Steak in advance under the effect of the tranquilizer bomb used for capture.

A whole living Sand Dragon King is naturally of the highest value. The fishermen tied it tightly with ropes and spent a lot of effort before finally lifting it up to the deck with a sling.

As for the other sand dragons.

Since there was really no extra load for the sand dragon pill, the fishermen could only peel off the most valuable fish dragon liver, as well as some claws, teeth, skin and other materials, and scattered them on a few small sand boats. Take them all away.

Just a few days after setting sail, the fishing fleet returned with a full load.

As for the sand fish that was the original target, no one cares about it anymore. In terms of economic value, the sand dragon is much higher than the sand fish, not to mention that the sand dragon king was successfully captured this time.

In order to keep the fish and dragon livers fresh to the greatest extent, and also to reduce the probability of being attacked by other monsters, the boss of the ship decided to take turns on duty and return at full speed without stopping during the journey.

This meant that the next few days were going to be tough for everyone, but no one raised any objections.

Looking at the harvest of this full boat, even if the repair costs of the damage to the boat, the heavy bed crossbow, and the compensation for the injured are all taken into account, everyone in the fishing fleet can still make a lot of money, and the morale is naturally high.

On the way back, the blood on the ship inevitably attracted some wandering monsters, including even a hungry dragon-slayer.

Fortunately, with Xianglan's cover and everyone's efforts, the fleet finally got rid of the pursuit, and after two days and nights of safe sailing, they finally returned to Loklak.

When he heard that the fishing fleet had wiped out an entire group of sand dragons and captured the Sand Dragon King, the head of the mustache leader was a little numb.

According to the rules of the guild, if a hunter enters the sand sea on his own, kills a group of sand dragons without receiving a commission and without his personal safety being threatened, and dares to bring them back to sell, he will definitely not escape the charge of "destroying the ecology".

But the situation of the fishing fleet is different. The fishing fleet's fishing license is issued separately by the guild.

From the perspective of the fishing fleet, whether it is sand fish, sand dragons, or bite fish that are more common in oasis swamps, they are theoretically "fish goods".

As long as you have the ability to catch them, it does not violate local laws and regulations. After all, those are not ordinary sea fish, and it is not easy for fishermen to deal with them.

Under normal circumstances, a fishing fleet can be considered to have a full load if it can catch 20 to 30 sand fish at a time. If they are lucky enough to catch one or two sand dragons, it will be a great harvest.

This is the first time I have seen a situation where seven or eight sand dragons were caught in one go, and even the Sand Dragon King was caught.

Of course, the guild has considered the situation where the fishing fleet takes hunters with them to go out and kill them in large numbers.

For this reason, the Rocklak Guild also has a clear rule that active hunters are not allowed to join fishing activities at will unless there is a special crusade commission.

But this time they took advantage of a loophole.

A hunter apprentice who is not even qualified as an apprentice hunter is obviously not an "active hunter", and a legendary hunting cat does not seem to be an "active hunter".

So the captured Sand Dragon King was not an "illegally captured monster" but a "fish caught by fishermen".

The mustache president rubbed his throbbing forehead and said to the supervisor who came to report the situation: "Forget it this time. Call the heads of various departments to hold a meeting later to discuss the revision of the regulations.

Restrict the behavior of "active hunting cats" helping fishing fleets to catch fish. If there is a need, they must receive the subjugation mission in advance or apply for registration with the guild."

"Yes."

The supervisor lady wearing a red soft hat nodded and was about to leave when she was stopped by the mustache president.

"Wait, the Fang Hounds must also be counted."

"Yeah"

"And the Strange Face Tribe."

"Okay"
