Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Indeed, I will report your views and arguments to the guild."

The old dragon man nodded seriously, "So, do you have any guesses about the real reason for the monster's confusion? Any guesses are fine."

"There really are."

Gordon took a few items from his prop belt.

"A week ago, Hayata and I accepted the task of hunting the female Charmander and set out to hunt. We ended up witnessing the battle between the male Charmander and the Thunder Wolf Dragon near the Fire Dragon's lair."

"Thunder Wolf Dragon?!" Anshir's reaction was a little fierce.

"Um."

Gordon picked up a blue scale with burnt marks, "I picked it up, it's evidence."

The manager of the assembly center took the scales, glanced at them a few times, raised his head and asked, "You mean, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is the real culprit who caused the chaos in the northern part of the mainland?"

"But is the ecological niche of Thunder Wolf Dragon so high?"

The lady head of the village was puzzled: "From the information we exchanged from Yanhuo Village, the danger level of Thunder Wolf Dragon should be around five stars, so it shouldn't cause such a big disturbance."

"It's really not. On the way back, I have been thinking about this."

With that said, Gordon looked at Village Chief Jieyun and asked, "Ms. Village Chief, you are a native of Jieyun Village. Have you ever heard of a monster like Thunder Wolf Dragon before?"

The village head lady shook her head decisively, "No, Thunder Wolf Dragon is very special in terms of shape and ecology. If I hear about it, I will definitely be impressed."

"Then where is the habitat of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, so that it may remain unknown?" Gordon continued to ask.

The village head lady understood what he wanted to say, "Lingfeng? That's right, the Lingfeng mountain range is steep and extremely difficult to climb. .

Mr. Gordon, you mean that Leilanglong was driven off the Lingfeng Peak by the angry Lanlong? "

"Yeah." Gordon nodded.

Anshir asked puzzledly, "But this still doesn't explain how the Thunder Wolf Dragon disrupted the monster ecology in such a large area?"

Gordon scratched his chin, "We don't know much about the ecological habits of Thunder Wolf Dragon, so I just proposed a possibility.

Hayata and I witnessed the Thunder Wolf Dragon's Fire Dragon Lair, which is far away from the area where Anxier and the others encountered the Thunder Wolf Dragon, right? In other words, they are probably not the same one.

So, what if the Leilanglong who was driven off Lingfeng by Lanlong didn't have one head and two heads, but a whole group? "

The lady head of the village answered with a pale face:

"Then they will spread around Lingfeng, continue to open up their territory, and drive away the monsters that originally lived in the wild mountain forest, and drive them to Jieyun Village."

"."

"."

After the meeting, the management of the meeting place left in a hurry.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon scales that Gordon brought back as evidence were also taken away by him, and he had to report all this to the guild immediately.

According to the guild's original judgment, Jieyun Village currently has one six-star hunter and two five-star hunters, which is theoretically enough to deal with most situations.

As long as they don't rush to Lingfeng and provoke Lanlong, that's fine.

But now it seems that the situation is not so simple.

If Gordon's guess comes true, there will be a large group of five-star dangerous monsters of the same species running around in the northern part of the Western Continent, vying for territory.

The nature of the matter has completely changed.

In order to protect the village, the hunters had to hunt the monsters driven from their homes by the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

As a result of doing so, the process of Thunder Wolf Dragon fighting for the territory became smoother.

There will only be fewer and fewer monsters that can compete with the Thunder Wolf Dragon. Even if the storm caused by the Lan Dragon is over, it is impossible for these Thunder Wolf Dragons to spit out the captured territory and retreat back to Lingfeng obediently.

They are likely to be the only species occupying the upper niche in the northern part of the western continent.

The relatively stable ecosystem that has been naturally formed for a long time will face collapse, and countless villages, towns, and commercial routes will be affected.

The cause of all this may just be Lanlong's random actions.

But the subsequent disasters may be more serious than its direct attack on human settlements.

There are two things that need to be done right now.

One is to report to the guild, apply for the support of hunters in other gathering places, and find out the specific number of Thunder wolf dragon population as soon as possible, and then make plans.

The second is to suspend hunting for nearby monsters. Unless it directly threatens the safety of the village, you can stay for a while.

——Cannot cause too much ecological niche gap.

How to grasp the balance among them requires a lot of discussion and research, but I will be busy afterwards.

The lady head of the village also lost her usual leisurely appearance.

Although she was relieved to know that Lanlong would not attack directly.

But what happened to Leilanglong also made her realize that this incident will not end just by saying it is over. If it is not handled well, the follow-up troubles may last for years or even decades.

The hunters fought desperately, hunted monsters, and protected the village. On the contrary, it may affect the future of the village and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent.

This is too ironic.

I have to communicate with the hunters immediately, so I don't need to pursue hunting efficiency anymore. Maybe forming a team and covering each other would be a good way?

The hunting mission should also be changed to focus on exploration and investigation.

Compared with the management of the assembly hall and the head of the village head lady.

The three of Gordon seemed to relax a lot.

Anxiety is transferable.

After discovering that the thunder wolf dragon was fighting with the fire dragon and realizing the possible ecological disaster, Gordon and Hayata had a headache for several days.

It's all right now, the information has been conveyed, and the rest is left to the guild and the village chief to worry about.

Let's do our job as hunters.

The business has come to an end.

Gordon and the others settled the task and received their rewards, and took a good soak in the hot spring. The fatigue accumulated in the past few days suddenly dissipated.

The next thing to do is to eat a big meal.

However, the Jieyun Clubhouse, which doubles as a hot spring hotel, does not have the long and wide drinking tables like the Toruma Public Tavern.

People in Jieyun Village seem to prefer to sit on the floor facing the short couple in a relatively private space.

On the table, the meals were exquisite and light, but the portions were relatively small. Gordon ordered two more servings before he was barely full.

At this time, he was lazily sitting on the soft cushion, stroking the pork chops, "Anxier, your Xunlong suit should be ready, why haven't you seen you wearing it?"

Just now he felt a little strange that Anshir had been wearing ordinary clothes all the time.

An Xier's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment, and his face turned dark, as if he was unwilling to answer this question.

Fengying on the side suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, because this guy is too white, hahaha!"

An Xier threw a edamame pod on Fengying's head, and said angrily, "Shut up!"

Gordon became interested in an instant, and even Hayata looked over curiously.

What is too white?

"Why, doesn't it look good?" Gordon sat up and asked with great interest.

He knew that Anshir had always been a person who paid great attention to the appearance of equipment, and generally would not consider equipment that looked too weird.

"No." Anshir continued with a straight face.

"It's okay now anyway, just put it on and show us."

"I'm also curious meow!"

"No." Anshir refused very simply.

Gordon smacked his lips, "Tsk, what are you hiding, you will always see it when you hunt in two days."

Anhill: "."

"Do you think, instead of being laughed at that time, why don't we get used to it now?" Gordon continued to encourage.

Anshir held back for a while, and then squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Okay, but you are not allowed to laugh."

"All right, all right, I won't laugh at you."

Anshir turned and left, and went back to the room to change.

When he came back wearing the Xunlong suit.

Gordon was the first to laugh out loud, "Hahahahaha! You are so white!"
