Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The distance to the ruined shrine was even closer than Anshir thought.

I thought it would take at least half a day to walk to the hunting ground or something, but it turned out to be a few kilometers north of the village, and it didn't take long to arrive.

When they first arrived at Yanhuo Village that day, the forest they passed was actually part of the outer area of ​​the abandoned shrine, but it was often cleared by hunters, so there were no monsters.

The three entered the camp first.

The style of the hunter camp here is quite similar to that of the old continent, with storage boxes, supply boxes, tents, campfires, everything you need.

It's just that the details are "cute". Anshir saw several chubby stone sculptures of Ellu cats, which added a bit of lively atmosphere.

Fengying carefully checked the equipment.

The shield ax she uses is a second-generation deformed weapon with a complex structure. Unlike the Taidao Dajian, as long as the weapon is not cracked, there is no such thing as a "fault".

Shield axes and chopping axes are similar to crossbows, and if they are not maintained properly on weekdays, problems will arise.

Anshir was also checking the equipment and ammunition. Although as an examiner, he probably had no chance to make a move, but under the influence of Miles, repeated checks before departure had become a habit.

Shui Yun looked at the two quietly.

In just half a year, Fengying has really changed a bit.

The person who taught her martial arts and fighting skills before was the village chief Puxian. Mr. Puxian is extremely powerful, but he doesn't have much time. It seems that some lessons that he missed intentionally or unintentionally have been made up.

Suddenly, she became curious about the "Master Gordon" Fengying was talking about.

"I'm ready!"

After adjusting the handle straps of the shield, and storing the chopping sword at the back waist, Fengying shouted energetically.

Anshir glanced at the position of the sun, and Shui Yun took out a small hourglass.

"Let's begin then."

As soon as An Xier finished speaking, Feng Ying jumped onto Hu Po's back, bent down, and shouted orders, "Hu Po! Let's go!"

"Wow!"

The tan-yellow tooth hound carried the girl on its back, flew out with a "swoosh", and disappeared at the end of the ramp at the entrance of the camp in a blink of an eye.

An Xier's face froze slightly, how could he forget this, how should he chase after this?

Shui Yun glanced at him with a flat expression, "I'll follow first, and Mr. Anshir as soon as possible."

After all, she came to the tent.

On a plant among the bushes lay a mysterious insect about the size of a forearm, which resembled a firefly but glowed white.

Shui Yun stretched out her hand, and the mysterious insect flew to her palm naturally. After stroking it twice as if teasing a pet, Shui Yun swung her arm and pointed towards the air.

"Fly."

The mysterious insect soared into the sky, and a shimmering silk thread connected it to Shui Yun's arm. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the camp with Shui Yun.

Anshir: "?????"

His worldview was severely shaken.

Sometimes, he has the habit of keeping a diary. It is very interesting to record what he has seen and heard during travel and hunting, and folk customs and ecology in the diary as a souvenir.

But how should I write the scene in front of me?

"The hunters in Yanhuo Village can rely on bugs to fly at high speeds. In comparison, the hunters in the Old World are so good that they can't even fly."? !

Anshir, who fell into self-doubt, took a deep breath.

Forget it, let's try to catch up first.

Feng Ying didn't know the confusion in An Xier's heart, all she could think about was how to find the target as soon as possible.

"Master Gordon said that the best way to find traces of monsters is to go near the food that monsters love." Feng Ying muttered to herself as if endorsing.

"What does the green bear beast like to eat, ah, it's honey! Amber, go over there!"

"Woof!" The running tooth hound drifted and turned, rushing towards the direction indicated by Fengying.

A few minutes later, they came to a sunny hillside, where the conditions in all aspects are suitable for bees to build nests, and bee nests can be seen from time to time nearby.

"Smell the amber to see if it smells like honey."

Amber sniffed around, then ran in a certain direction.

Soon, they found a broken beehive under the trunk of a dwarf tree. The beehive was chewed in a mess, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of honey.

There are also some bees that have not dispersed, wandering around unwillingly.

Fengying jumped off Hu Po's back, looking for it carefully.

"The bees haven't dispersed yet, and the remaining honey hasn't attracted too many ants. It should have just left." Fengying ignored the bees' harassment, squatted down, and analyzed the traces bit by bit.

"The shrub is crushed, it's a rude guy, the soil is still soft, there should be footprints, ah! It's footprints! This size and shape, it really is a green bear beast!

Follow the trail to Amber, let's go west to the stream! "

Not far away, Shui Yun, who landed on the hillside, looked at this scene curiously.

She also knows a little bit about the skills of searching for traces of monsters, but she only has a superficial grasp, which may not be as good as Fengying in front of her.

After all, the hunters in the Firelands have long been accustomed to the convenience of the Fukugi Rabbit, and almost no one would waste energy on it.

"Hoo, hoo"

An Xier, who came running wildly, put his hands on his knees, took a few breaths, raised his head and asked Shui Yun, "Where is she?!"

"West side." A word popped out of Shui Yun's mouth, after thinking about it, she added another sentence, "The stream at the bottom of the canyon."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand again, and disappeared at the end of the ramp under the guidance of Xiang Chong.

"."

Anshir gritted his teeth, changed direction, and continued to chase.

Fengying gallops on the dog, her spirits uplifted.

Sure enough, as Master Gordon said, finding the first trace is the most difficult step. After that, you only need to analyze and track step by step, and you can quickly confirm the route of the monster's departure!

"Woof! Woof!" Amber the Hound suddenly barked a few times.

"Is it just ahead?"

Fengying adjusted her breathing and looked at the sun.

The process of searching for the target was very smooth, and it took more than an hour to pass, so it was too late!

He rushed out of a narrow stone path with the tooth hound, and his sight suddenly widened.

By the bank of the stream, a fat fang beast monster with blue fur was slowly drinking water.

Fengying's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and found that besides the blue bear beast, there were two weasel dragons wandering in the distance.

This small ornithosaurus monster, which was about the same size as Blue Velociraptor in terms of size and strength, could no longer pose a threat to her, but considering the restriction that it could not be injured, its size was also a problem.

"Huber, can you do it by entwining the Grizzly Bear for two minutes?"

"Wow!"

"Good boy~!" Fengying rubbed Amber's head happily.

At this time, the Green Bear Beast and the Weasel Dragon, who noticed the intruders approaching, let out threatening roars.

"Be careful, Amber!"

Fengying jumped off the back of the tooth hound, put the shield and the sword into her hands, and rushed directly towards the two weasel dragons.

At the same time, the tooth hound Amber also turned her head, bit the double-edged sickle hanging by her side with her teeth, and stopped in front of the blue bear beast with a low growl.

Sickle weasel dragon is a typical bully and shy of toughness. Seeing Fengying's petite body, he ran up to meet Fengying with a shriek.

Facing the bite of the weasel dragon, Feng Ying was very calm, she did not rush to attack, but received the blow firmly with the shield in her right hand.

At the same time, the sword in the left hand was accumulating power, and at the moment when the weasel dragon's attack was frustrated and the flaw was exposed, he lifted the shield and drew the sword, and cut off the head of the first weasel dragon neatly.
