Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Second name? I've never heard of this word before."

"Well, according to the definition given by the scholars of the 'Institute of Dragon History'. Do you know this organization?"

"Know."

Gordon nodded, "Longli Institute, a research organization under the guild that was formally established a year or two ago, is mainly composed of scholars and powerful hunters.

The "courage stance" my master taught me is said to have been created by the hunters affiliated with Longli Academy. "

"Yes, according to the definition of Longli Academy scholars - certain monsters whose bodies have mutated due to special experiences and have evolved special abilities different from the original species are called 'two names'.

The monsters given two titles are existences that are revered by hunters, and some of them you may have heard of, such as 'Horror Demon'. ’ Julius explained slowly.

"Ah, is this indeed the 'devil that kills' that wanders deep in the desert? I heard the legend from the hunters over there in Loklark.

But did that guy actually exist? I thought it was just a rumour. "

"It exists in reality. Due to its extremely high danger, the guild has sent crusade teams many times to carry out crusades, and almost none of the hunters who participated in the crusade against the 'Demon' survived.

The guild believes that its strength is even higher than many ancient dragon species. Julius looked at the polished blade of the holy sword after wiping, and said softly.

Gordon rubbed his stiff cheeks, "The original species of Fierce Demon is a five-star dangerous horned dragon, right? The Thunder Wolf Dragon is also a five-star dragon."

Julius put the sacred saber back into the scabbard, "No way, among all the 'two' monsters, the fierce demon is the most dangerous one, not one of them.

If the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon has the strength to fight demons, even if we are injured, it will not be easy for us to escape. "

"Okay, let's get back on track. What you mean is that the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon is always in a super-charged state, maybe it's a special ability evolved through some special experiences?"

"I think so."

Julius nodded and said: "In addition to this ability, it may also have a keen sense of smell far surpassing other Thunder wolf dragons.

The hiding place where Nadia and I were hiding at that time should be fairly hidden, and the distance was not too close, but it was able to find us, which also made me very concerned. "

"No wonder, when Nadia fired so many odor bombs and dye bombs everywhere during the retreat, it was still able to catch up."

"So I think that when formulating hunting tactics, this must also be taken into consideration. Don't consider sneak attacks. As long as you get close, it is almost certain to be discovered by it."

Gordon couldn't help raising his eyelids, and looked at his senior brother, "It's really rare. I thought you would write to the headquarters of Dongdoruma first to confirm the necessity of the crusade before considering hunting."

"I'm not that rigid."

Julius glanced back at Gordon, "This group of thunder wolf dragons is too great a threat to the ecological balance in the northern part of the Western Continent, and judging from the attack on the village this time.

They are full of hostility to humans, or in other words, killing intent.

Even the "moderate faction" in the guild will never ignore this kind of behavior.

There may be room for discussion on how to deal with the rest of the Thunder Wolf Dragon in the group, but the leader, plus the few that participated in the massacre of the village, has no other option but to 'clear'.

This is a struggle for survival between species, and the guild, as the party representing human beings, has no possibility of retreating. "

"Hey, I'm relieved to hear you say that."

Gordon bared his teeth, "I'm afraid to hear some 'they are just for survival, can't they coexist peacefully?'"

"If those nobles who feast all day are allowed to lead the guild, some people may say so."

The corner of Julius's mouth hooked invisibly, "But the guild is a 'human security organization' above the power of the state, and the leader is the 'Great Elder' who has hunted more monsters than anyone else."

Gordon twisted his neck and made a crisp "click".

"It's kind of exciting."

In order to completely get rid of the pursuit of the thunder wolf dragon group, the hunters ran to a place far away from Jieyun Village. On the return trip, they took a long detour to avoid the area where the thunder wolf dragon might appear.

When they returned to Jieyun Village, it was already two days later.

This almost killed Anshir and the others who were staying in the village.

Although they were already very tired, after returning, Gordon and the others immediately found the village head lady and the management of the assembly center, and started a new round of reports and discussions.

After hearing Julius' description about the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon commanding ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragons, Feng Ying, who hadn't interrupted much, suddenly said something.

"Isn't this the Overlord?"

This word made everyone pay attention.

Later, after Fengying's explanation, everyone understood that there was a saying among the hunter groups in the Land of Fire.

——Some monsters with special experience have evolved special abilities through harsh competition for survival, and at the same time gained a powerful influence enough to dominate the same race, they are 'overlords'.

This concept is very similar to "two names".

But considering that the names of the two monsters are basically linked to local rumors, they can't create a "second name" for the Thunder Wolf Dragon out of thin air.

After a brief discussion, everyone finally decided to call the leader individual "Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon".

Then, the next step is the "result of processing" against the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Whether it is the village head lady, the management of the assembly house, or even the scholars of the scholar team as academic advisors, they all support the crusade against the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Such evil beasts will inevitably breed more tragedies.

However, on how to crusade, everyone had a disagreement.

The village chief lady and the hunters think that a crusade team should be formed immediately to prepare for hunting.

However, the management of the assembly center and the scholars of the scholar team believed that the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon was powerful, and there were three Thunder Wolf Dragons accompanying him. After the arrival of more high-level hunters, let's go all out.

The reasons for both parties are very good, and even from rational considerations, the choice of the assembly house to manage them is more correct.

However, one possibility raised by the village head lady broke the debate.

"What if the slaughter of the village by the four thunder wolf dragons is not only revenge, but also a temptation?"

The expression of the village head lady was unprecedentedly serious, "If we don't fight back forcefully as soon as possible, will they decide that 'human beings are not a threat' and call more of their kind.

Establish the Great Rift Valley you mentioned as a permanent settlement of ethnic groups similar to Lingfeng?

At that time, more Thunder Wolf Dragons will migrate over, not to mention small villages, even large villages like Lianyun Village are in danger of being attacked by Thunder Wolf Dragons.

So I think that sending a letter to the guild for help is one aspect, and it is also necessary to organize a counterattack immediately, even if it is just to repel them, at least to make them feel afraid. "

The management of the meeting place and the scholars of the scrivener team exchanged glances.

The old dragon finally sighed: "You have convinced us, let's organize a crusade."
