Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon took the pork chops and jumped off the airship arriving in Hong Kong.

A section of the real red horn that was half a person long was carried on his shoulder and wrapped in oilcloth. It looked like a thick stick and attracted many people's curious eyes.

Gordon, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, the packaging covered it, otherwise the number of onlookers might have increased several times.

Squeezing through the crowd, all the way to the hunter's gathering place located in the central area of ​​the mountainside, Gordon pushed open the door of the meeting place.

Different from those ordinary people on the street.

Several hunters, who were competing for wine at a nearby bar, accidentally glanced over here, their eyes straightened immediately, and the "stick" seemed to have a magnetic force, firmly attracting their sight.

"Hey, hey?!! Could it be that!"

"That's right! That shape!"

Several hunters dropped the wine glasses in their hands one after another, ran to Gordon's side quickly, and surrounded him.

The movement here attracted the attention of more hunters in the hall of the assembly hall, and more and more people gathered around.

At this time, it would be stingy to hide it again.

Gordon grinned, put the "stick" in front of him, and tore off the oilcloth wrapped on it, revealing the huge red horn that seemed to be soaked in blood.

The onlookers immediately exploded.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"True Red Horn!"

"I knew it, it's the 'Proof of a Hero'!"

"By the way, my brother is so young, but the one-horned dragon is five-star?"

"Tsk tsk, it's not worse than that kid Julius!"

"It seems to be Gordon? I saw him with Anshir before."

Someone patted the shoulder, someone toasted, someone stuffed a large piece of barbecue into Gordon's hand, and someone was secretly licking pork chops. The people in the assembly hall quarreled around them for a long time before they slowly dispersed.

And the name "Gordon" finally left a special impression among the hunter groups in East Doruma.

The Red Horn was lying quietly on the task counter at this moment.

The three Kanban girls all bowed to congratulate, and even Hurley, who was the most eccentric, showed her serious side at this time.

The true red horn, or "the proof of the hero", has a very special meaning to both the hunter group and the hunter guild.

——It symbolizes the beginning of the profession of "Monster Hunter".

The guild leader personally took out the seal, burned it red with charcoal fire, and branded the fifth star seal on the cover of Gordon Hunter's Notebook.

From today on, he is a five-star hunter.

Gordon scratched his cheek.

The day when the big wild boar king chased him around seemed like yesterday, but now he is only one step away from the "superior hunter"?

“Somewhat unrealistic”

Gordon was feeling emotional when a thin man in a scholar's robe and glasses broke open the side door and stumbled towards this side.

"Director! It's not good, the information is wrong! The observation balloon Peregrine Falcon in the northwest of the Sea of ​​Trees has an urgent message, and the information is wrong!"

Gordon moved out of the way, allowing the young scribe to rush up to the guild master.

Looking at the feminine side face of the scribe, Gordon felt a little familiar. After recalling it for a few seconds, he suddenly blurted out: "Alva?!"

"Huh? Ah! You are." A few years ago, the young scribe who had confronted Lanlong with Gordon exclaimed.

Gordon quickly raised his hand to interrupt, signaling him to leave him alone and continue with the report just now.

"Which information is wrong?" The guild supervisor also frowned, asking urgently.

Alva immediately put the note in his palm into the supervisor's hand, and reported at a very fast speed: "Shuhai-124 information, the related mission is Hunting-73.

The original information showed that a male fire dragon migrated to the northwest edge of the sea of ​​trees, threatening the safety of the commercial road, so a hunting mission was established.

But just now, we received an intelligence update. Since the male fire dragon was observed in the middle of the night, the observer made a misjudgment.

That one is not an ordinary male fire dragon, but a subspecies of blue fire dragon! "

Gordon, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, couldn't help but grinned with a toothache—the difference between the Cangcharmandra and the Malechardon is not just the color of the scales.

Like some subspecies of monsters, the Canghuolong is more likely to be discovered by predators and more likely to be repelled and attacked by its own kind since it hatched.

Any blue fire dragon that can survive to adulthood is far above ordinary male fire dragons in terms of strength and physique.

According to the danger level defined by the guild, the blue fire dragon belongs to the top level of five-star monsters, even close to six-star monsters.

Even compared to the one-horned dragon he hunted before, it was only strong but not weak.

I can only pray that the task has not been picked up by the hunter. If I go to hunt the blue fire dragon with the preparation of hunting the male fire dragon, something big will happen.

"That mission has been taken."

The face of the guild director was scary, "Just yesterday morning, I was accepted as an assessment task for promotion to four stars."

The three kanban girls who were quickly checking the task registration form all raised their heads, their faces pale.

Gordon also frowned.

If the five-star hunter who takes the task finds that the opponent is not the male fire dragon but the blue fire dragon, he can choose to retreat, or he can try to kill the blue fire dragon.

If it is an experienced four-star hunter, as long as he is cautious, he can safely withdraw from the pursuit of Cang Huolong.

But the three-star hunter who has not been officially promoted is different.

First of all, it is basically impossible for them to have the experience of hunting large-scale flying dragons. The pressure is completely different from that of ornithosaurs such as the big strange bird.

Moreover, the level of their equipment is not enough.

Take the explosive knife used by Gordon during the second and third stars as an example. The big sword is almost enough to cut the male fire dragon, but it will only be bounced off by the scales when used to deal with the blue fire dragon.

- The sharpness is not enough at all.

The same is true for armor. Without the replacement of equipment in the four-star period, no matter how good the talent is, it will be difficult to pose a threat to five-star monsters.

"She went there by airship. It only takes one day from East Doruma to the hunting ground on the west side of the sea of ​​trees. She may have encountered Canghuolong by now!"

Hurley said with red eyes: "I have to issue an urgent mission immediately, find someone to rescue her!"

"It's too late to release the task."

The director of the guild looked at Gordon, "Gordon, I know you have just hunted a horned dragon and are still very tired, but the situation is urgent, can I ask you to go?"

"No problem." Gordon nodded immediately. "It's mainly about the itinerary. It must be too late to walk. Is there a suitable airship?"

Alva on the side immediately raised his hand and said: "We can help with the airship, there is an airship on standby, and we can leave within 20 minutes at the earliest!"

"That's it."

The director of the guild made a decision: "Alva is going to notify the airship now that it is ready to take off. I will send someone to send me any props that Gordon needs to replenish."

"Healing medicine, antidote, and flash bombs are the main three. They are full of bases. Others are troublesome to prepare, and it's not important."

In this emergency situation, melee hunters are particularly convenient.

"Heidi! Remember to take the Chinese medicine again!"

"We're going to get it now!"

"There is also gunpowder meow! I can adjust the explosive bomb meow on the airship!"

"Then take them all!"

p.s.

The official relationship between Cang Ying and the male and female fires is not officially stated, only the subspecies. I am making my own statement here, similar to different-color Pokémon?
