Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The village chief had people dig out all the reports from the past two weeks and sift through them carefully, and he actually found some possible problematic content for them.

"Village chief, look at this."

A lively lady wearing the common uniform of a billboard lady handed a roll of reports to the big-nosed village chief.

"Thanks, Petty (note ①)." The village chief took the report.

The village chief quickly glanced through the report, and then handed it to Eliade and others on the side.

Fufu also sneaked over and watched together.

The content of the report was not complicated. It was roughly that a hunter named Edirika, while performing a mission in the dense forest northeast of Jiangbo Village, witnessed a female fire dragon, a black wolf bird, and a peach-haired beast king fighting in a melee. scene.

It is normal for two large monsters to clash over territory.

But it is not that common for three large monsters, all large monsters with strong territorial awareness, to squeeze together.

Of course this kind of thing can be explained by "coincidence", but under the premise that "there may be an ancient dragon wandering and hiding in the Tross dense forest", this report naturally has some other meanings.

"And this." Issa, an animal behavior expert from Longli Academy, also picked out a report.

This report is even simpler.

Most of the report, which was only a few hundred words long, was filled with complaints. The rest of the report described how a novice hunter had taken on the task of collecting lightning bugs.

The young hunter deliberately went to the area where many lightning bugs were supposed to live, but found only a few, causing the mission to fail.

"There is a clear record in the data of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau that there is some kind of symbiotic relationship between Fuyuelong and Thunderworm. This is a bit similar to Thunderwolf, but there shouldn't be Thunderwolf in Tros Forest, right?"

Issa said it in a question, but her tone was quite certain.

"Well, at least no trace of Thunder Wolf Dragon has been found in the past twenty years." Big Nose Village Chief gave a positive reply, "You mean, the Thunder Light Insect was attracted by Fuyue Dragon?"

"It's possible."

"But are these two places far apart?" Fufu couldn't help but ask, "One is northeast of Jiangbo Village, and the other is due east. They are hundreds of kilometers apart."

Isa smiled and explained to her, "If you want to find the whereabouts of an ancient dragon, you can't just rely on one or two reports.

It is necessary to collect all possible relevant information, filter out irrelevant information, and then analyze it as a whole. Only then can a rough scope or route be drawn. "

"It seems very complicated, meow." Fish Pat muttered, licking the mane on his chest.

Yuna rubbed its furry head fiercely, "Right? That's how it felt in the beginning. Just try it a few times and you'll get used to it."

Most of the analysis work is done by scholars. We stupid people just pretend to be understanding and nod, waiting for the results! "

Fu Fu held a report and read it more carefully, and Fish Pat also pretended to come to her side and read it with her.

Who is with you and us? Who is stupid? !

The work of analyzing the report continued until late at night. Fufu held the fish steak in her arms and dozed off little by little.

Yuna had already fallen asleep on the table, and Ska and Lan were in similar condition. Iliad was a little better, but he kept rubbing the sore corners of his eyes, making it difficult to concentrate.

Only the scholar Issa, who had long been accustomed to this kind of work and was used to staying up late, the village chief with a big nose, and Milch, who had finished the airship supply work and came to help, still remained awake.

It's not exactly refreshing, but at least it's clear-headed.

In front of them, on the map depicting the southeastern corner of the continent, there were already many signs and annotations, densely packed.

"Tuk, Tuk—"

There was a knock on the door of the village chief's house. After receiving the reply of "please come in" from the village chief, the door was opened.

The person who came was the director of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce. He was accompanied by several people, and they all held a lot of things in their hands.

"This is information collected from caravan merchants, traveling traders, and people in the transportation team, as well as summarized information on the purchase of wild goods from nearby villages in recent days, which may be helpful."

"Thank you, it's been a big help." Scholar Isa adjusted his glasses and smiled at them.

The director of the Chamber of Commerce signaled his men to put down the information and some huge plates.

"We also brought some condolences, please fill your stomach first."

Yuna, who was sleeping soundly on the table just a second ago, sat up with a bang, "I'm awake! I smell food!"

Fufu also rubbed her eyes and woke up.

Looking at the pile of documents piled higher on the table, her face turned green.

The director of the Chamber of Commerce smiled and said, "Everyone's room is ready. If you feel sleepy, you can go back and rest at any time."

Yuna grabbed the food on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth without looking at it, and said vaguely: "I'm exhausted. I'll go to bed after I finish eating. I'll leave this place to you!"

"Take me with you!" Lan rubbed his face vigorously and picked up a sandwich with ham and cheese.

Fufu, who originally planned to fill her stomach and go back to rest, immediately closed her mouth.

Doesn’t that make it clear that you are also among the “dumb-minded” group? !

Seemingly seeing Fufu's inner struggle, the director of the Chamber of Commerce smiled and said: "Intelligence analysis is a job that relies on experience, and only people who are engaged in this aspect on a daily basis will be good at it.

Tomorrow's work is even more important. Hunters must have a good rest. When the intelligence analysis part is over, it will be time for you to show off your skills. "

"Leave the work that relies on strength to us!" Yuna, with her mouth full of food, bent her arms and patted her strong biceps.

Fufu hurriedly walked down the steps.

The supervisor is right! It has nothing to do with whether your brain is good or not, I just lack experience in this area! For future actions, you have to take a good rest and recharge your batteries!

After throwing away the baggage, she grabbed a sausage that was fried to perfection, ate half of it with the fish steak, and started to nibble on it.

The next day, when the rested and energetic hunters returned to the village chief's house, the "good-minded" group already looked exhausted and about to die suddenly.

The map full of information is so scary that ordinary people would feel dizzy just looking at it.

Fufu was very glad that she didn't show off last night, otherwise she might have been lying on the ground with her body stretched out now.

"Give"

Mr. Issa, who looked haggard, handed over a note.

Eliade reached out to take it and found that there were several series of numbers on it, which seemed to be geographical coordinates.

"Scout these locations." Mr. Issa simply explained, "If anything unusual is found, bring the news back."

Yuna gave a thumbs up, "We like this kind of simple and direct work!"

"One near and two far, there are three coordinates in total. It seems we have to take action separately." Eliade looked at the note and said to himself.

The village chief, who was leaning back on his chair with his big nostrils exposed, raised his arms and waved, "I've found some helpers for you, they'll be there soon."

Just as he was talking, the door of the village chief's house was knocked again, and several armed figures walked in.

The leader is a middle-aged man with two swords on his back. He is equipped with a set of silver-white armor. Even an inexperienced novice like Fufu can recognize that iconic look.

——[Silver White Sun].

High-end armor made from rare materials of fire dragons, only the top hunters are eligible to obtain it.

Next to him is a female bow hunter. She is equipped with the same classic female fire dragon suit (Sakura Fire Suit).

"Hey, it's Keogh! And Miss Edirika!" Lan greeted them with a smile.

Although they were not very familiar with each other, they were both high-ranking hunters and had cooperated in the past.

"And this little guy, right?"

Yuna looked curiously at the young man standing next to Keo, a boy to be precise?

He looked slightly older than Fufu by two years, and he was equipped with the "Hunter Suit" most commonly used by novice hunters.

The weapon is a katana sword. His slightly childlike facial features are 60-70% similar to Keogh's. He purses his lips and lowers his head. His personality seems to be shy.

Facing Yuna's inquiry, Keo's face showed the proud smile typical of parents when introducing their children, "His name is Seer, and he is my son.

Now you are following me as an apprentice, hehehehe."
