Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The hunter confronted the monster.

They all know that their current state is not suitable for continuing to fight, but no one is willing to turn around first, and whoever shows timidity first may lose the initiative to fight.

Gordon grinned suddenly and smiled.

The reason why hunters can survive in the face of monsters that are too much stronger than humans, and even win the battle, is to rely on flexible brains and endless means.

The skin is soft and the body is fragile, so I arm myself with metal and monster scales,

Without sharp claws and teeth, use wisdom and technology to create a variety of powerful weapons.

Physical strength and self-healing ability are not comparable to monsters, so alchemy medicine is used to make up for it.

Putting the big sword in front of him with one hand, Gordon reached out and took out the hunters' favorite recovery medicine G from the backpack behind his waist.

This is an advanced recovery medicine made by adding honey to the common recovery medicine and further extracting it. Its efficacy is nearly double that of the normal version.

Of course, the cost is also much more expensive. Normally, Gordon is reluctant to use it, but now is the best time to use it.

After two gulps, he poured down the emerald green potion in the glass medicine. Gordon threw away the bottle and smacked his lips. It tasted good.

The effect is even better.

A warm feeling instantly spread throughout the body, and the wounds on the chest ribs and palms quickly stopped bleeding.

Immediate recovery is naturally impossible, and it will take some time for the medicine to take full effect, but in just a few seconds, he feels that he has recovered at least 70% to 80% of his combat power.

The Blue Velociraptor retreated slowly.

The beast's intuition told it that the opponent was definitely not bluffing.

Even though it only took two or three breaths, how did that guy's obviously weakened breath recover so much? !

The bright yellow vertical pupils stared at the hunter, and the blue velociraptor continued to retreat - it knew that it had to retreat.

The Blue Velociraptor, who retreated to the edge of the dense forest, let out a threatening roar. It stared deeply at Gordon. Seeing that the latter had no intention of pursuing him, he turned around and fled into the jungle, and finally disappeared in the dark forest.

Gordon shook his tired arms, squatted down halfway, took out the whetstone, and carefully polished every hook blade of the Explosive Knife that was stained with blood.

The continuous slashing made the hook blade of the Explosive Knife somewhat blunt. If it is not sharpened in time, it will affect the power of the weapon.

After polishing the weapon, Gordon drank another bottle of recovery medicine, and ate a piece of food to replenish his strength. After a short rest, he picked up the explosive knife again.

Carefully distinguishing the footprints and bloodstains hidden among the weeds and fallen leaves, Gordon confidently looked in a certain direction.

Blue Velociraptor King, can't escape.

The blue velociraptors were predators good at hunting, but not good at hiding.

In the mountain forest at the end of winter in Xiuleitesen Hill, a pursuit battle that lasted for half a day finally came to an end in the afternoon when the sun was setting.

The Blue Velociraptor King ran away several times, counterattacked, and even called his fellows near the lair to launch an ambush, but all of them were resolved by Gordon steadily.

The blue speed dragon king whose hind limbs were severely damaged and his combat effectiveness was severely damaged did not bring him any real trouble even in the end.

The huge crown symbolizing the status of the king of the ethnic group was eventually cut off by the hunter and became a trophy that proved the completion of the hunt.

After finally escorting the caravan to a safe section of the road, the pork chop hurried back to the camp to meet Gordon after the sun went down.

Looking at the materials of the blue velociraptor still stained with blood, the pork chop seemed a little disappointed.

Lord Gordon doesn't seem to need his own help, and he can also successfully hunt these powerful monsters.

But Gordon only pointed to his broken breastplate, and the horrible wound from his chest to his waist, which was still turned outward even though the bleeding had stopped, and said with a smile:

"If you were here, I wouldn't be hurt so badly."

"Yes, sorry meow!"

"I didn't mean to blame you, I just stated the facts, don't hang your head there, come and help me sew and bandage the wound!"

"Okay meow!"

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!"

"It's about to sew crookedly! Don't move meow!"

"You should take it easy!"

"I'm just an Elle, I'm not good at sewing meow! Please be patient meow!"

After successfully hunting the Blue Velociraptor King and successfully solving the emergency mission, Gordon's hunter rank was naturally promoted to two stars.

Looking at the second star branded on the hide cover of his hunter notebook, the young hunter bared his teeth and grinned like a fool.

The promotion of the hunter level represents more than just honor.

More tasks to choose from, higher salary standards, all of these are real benefits.

In comparison, those "minor injuries" on the body are not worth mentioning.

A scar was left on the chest due to poor stitching skills in pork chops? Gordon wouldn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. As a hunter, who wouldn't have a few scars on his body?

In order to celebrate the promotion, Gordon specially brought the instructor and pork chops to the only tavern and restaurant in the village to have a big meal.

Charcoal-grilled mammoth steak, wart and baby potato salad, herbivorous dragon tail stew with onion and tomato as ingredients, creamy baked shiitake mushrooms.

A meal cost nearly 500z, but Gordon didn't feel distressed.

Occasional luxury is necessary too!

After the big meal, the lives of Gordon and Pork Chop returned to their daily routines.

Winter passed, and the months-long hunting ban came to an end, causing the Hunter's Guild to backlog a large number of unresolved commissions. Even a backcountry like Kokot Village received a lot of orders.

Although the vast majority are still one-star commissions.

Gordon, who was finally qualified to accept two-star missions, directly pulled the pile of one-star commissions aside, didn't even bother to look at them, and happily picked up the only two-star mission list.

The guild's division of task difficulty is very mature and standardized, even if it is only the lowest level of one star and two star, there is a clear difference.

One-star missions are mainly to collect settlement items such as specialty shiitake mushrooms, and to hunt down multiple blue velociraptors, big wild boars and other small monsters.

And starting from two stars, large monsters will be involved.

Although it is only the big wild boar king and the blue speed dragon king that are "unable to stand on the table" in the eyes of powerful hunters, they are also a hurdle that all novice hunters must face.

If you cross the past, there will be further possibilities. If you fail to cross it, you can only spend your life in mushrooms and raw meat.

According to the statistics of the Hunter Guild, at least one-third of the registered hunters have spent their entire lives wandering in one-star missions.

Maybe it's lack of courage to face big monsters, maybe lack of talent, maybe it's out of safety and family considerations, they don't intend to become stronger, let alone take the initiative to contact those dangerous big monsters, they just want to live a safe and stable life.

Some people despise, sympathize with, and ridicule these "gatherers", but no one can deny their contribution to human society.

Otherwise, who do you think completed the massive one-star missions that exceeded 60 to 70% of the guild's total missions?

Of course, Gordon, whose mind is full of "making money, becoming stronger, and hunting more powerful monsters", will not think about these things. At this time, his eyes have been firmly attracted by the two-star task list.

To be precise, he was attracted by the string of numbers on the reward column.
