Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After being knocked down, the heavy slash with the sword made Snow Lion King feel the feeling of fear.

It clearly realized that it was not the opponent of the "little man" in front of it, and if it continued to fight, it would be itself that would die.

It doesn't have the arrogance of "absolutely strong" like Honglong, and the survival of the population and itself is its top priority.

Lowering his body and head, and letting out a deep roar, the Snow Lion King slowly retreated.

The two snow lions who were fighting with the foolish boy also abandoned their opponents and caught up with the leader.

Seeing that Gordon had no intention of chasing them, the snow lions turned around and jumped up the cliff, screaming "woo woo" and disappeared.

The boy screamed wildly, and was about to rush up the mountain path to pursue him, but was dragged back by Gordon.

"What are you doing?" Gordon asked with a dark face.

The young man took it for granted, "Of course I want to catch up and kill them!"

Gordon's face turned darker, "Have you accepted the task of hunting down the snow lion group, or hunting the snow lion king?"

"No!" The young man turned his face away, with a stubborn expression on his face, "But they attacked me first, and hunting monsters, isn't it the hunter's bounden duty?!"

Gordon was stunned when he heard the words, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

It wasn't because what the boy said made sense, but because this guy's remarks were too outrageous, so outrageous that Gordon confirmed that there was no one to teach this guy at all.

It doesn't matter whether it's a hunter who was trained collectively in a hunter training center in a big city, or a hunter like him who was taught by a master and an apprentice.

They would never say the words "hunting monsters is the hunter's bounden duty".

The job of a hunter is to protect humans and maintain the ecology.

Although some hunters with hatred in their hearts or radical ideas scoffed at these remarks in their hearts, they would never yell out loudly.

You will be invited to drink tea by the guild knights.

While Gordon's thoughts were distracted, the young man suddenly lowered his body, broke away from Gordon's hand grabbing the back collar of his shirt, and was about to run out to give chase.

A vein twitched on Gordon's forehead.

Grabbing the boy's sleeve and pulling him back, he punched him hard on the head.

Hayata, who came over, shrank her head subconsciously. She was hit by Gordon like this a while ago, and it hurt to death.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the young man cried and rolled on the snow with his head in his arms.

Gordon smacked his lips, and he beat up Fengying who was petite and weak, er, at least when he looked petite and weak, he was ruthless.

What's more, you brat?

Sixteen or seventeen is the most impulsive age.

The boy's eyes were red from the beating, and when he sat up, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to the handle of the knife behind him.

Gordon frowned and gave him a condescending look.

Stimulated by the sharp aura honed by fighting against countless dangerous monsters, the boy froze and woke up instantly.

Even he who is from Yeluzi knows that the hunter's weapon can only be pulled out when facing a monster. This is the absolute bottom line and iron rule.

He slumped down on the ground, turned his face away, and even though his face was full of awkwardness, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"sorry."

On the way back to Bokai Village, Gordon was not polite at all, and threw a rope to the boy, asking him to pull the heavy sled full of raw meat. Now it was frozen meat.

The boy didn't say nonsense like "why".

After all, Gordon had just saved his life.

After communicating along the way, they knew the boy's name - Jean.

A name so common that people can't even remember it.

He was an orphan from a small, unnamed village on the outskirts of the Phiasia region.

The village has no natural dangers to rely on, and there are no powerful hunters stationed in the village. From time to time, it will be attacked by monsters, and the villagers will leave one after another if they can't bear it, and eventually the village will be deserted.

This is very common in remote areas.

Without a family, young and with no place to go, Gene was one of the last to leave.

In order to survive, he used hatchets and logging axes as weapons to hunt docile animals such as spirit deer and mushroom pigs. After his courage and strength grew, he also tried to hunt big wild boars.

Until the beginning of the year, his private hunting was discovered by the guild.

After understanding the whole story, and considering Jean's age and reality, the guild did not punish him.

An orphan, who had not received any training, was able to hunt big wild boars many times with the wild way he knocked out by himself.

Even if it was just the most common small monster, it was enough to prove his talent.

Therefore, the guild provided him with the opportunity to join the hunter training camp.

Who would have thought that this guy would feel disgusted, he was illiterate, and he was too lazy to learn those "useless" things, and he applied for graduation in advance before the instructors taught him martial arts and hunting skills.

What's outrageous is that he really completed the assessment task for him, and he became a one-star hunter in a daze.

Then, he returned to the familiar days.

It's just that in the past, they directly beat the big wild boars to sell for money, but now they have received the task, and then go to fight the big wild boars to sell for money.

Not only can you sell meat and skins, but you can also get extra task rewards. If you usually take some collecting tasks, you can live a good life alone.

And his set of "swordsmanship" that was randomly figured out by hunting wild boars was also dubbed "wild boar swordsmanship" by the people in the town.

This kind of ridicule only lasted until last month. When Jin strangled a blue velociraptor king to death with the wild boar swordsmanship, those people shut up.

Jean was successfully promoted to become a two-star hunter.

A seventeen-year-old two-star hunter.

This also made the staff of the guild notice him.

It just so happened that Pokai Village lacked a resident hunter, and Jin grew up near the Flasia region, so he was quite familiar with terrains such as snow fields, snow forests, and tundra.

He himself did not object, so he was sent over.

"So here I am." Genn shrugged.

Hayata couldn't help sighing, "What a tortuous childhood"

"Curved?"

Gene had an indifferent expression on his face, "I can't remember what happened when I was too young. As long as I have the impression, I have already been able to catch the deer, and I feel quite comfortable."

Gordon rubbed his forehead with some headaches, "You should stay in the training camp for a while, at least learn the basics of martial arts, it's better than groping around alone like now."

If someone said that to him, Gene would definitely reply, "I don't need those flashy things, wouldn't it be nice if I could kill monsters?".

But the one who said that was Gordon.

He was deeply impressed by the scene where Gordon completely suppressed the Snow Lion King with his strength and sword skills just now.

He was reckless, ill-informed, but not stupid.

To be honest, he regretted it a little too.

Gene secretly glanced at Gordon, a little bit wanting to ask him for advice, but a little embarrassed to speak.

Gordon noticed Gene's gaze and knew how this guy was feeling. He didn't mind spending some time teaching this junior something.

But before that, he wanted to ask some questions first.

"Why did you choose Taidao? Is it because of some kind of obsession? Or do you have some special experience."

Gene scratched his head, "It's nothing messy, just before the assessment to become an official hunter, I randomly picked a weapon that was still handy, and I picked this one, and I've been using it since then."

"...You act like I didn't ask."
