Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Do you want to dispose of these corpses?" Xia Zuo put away his swords and asked the stunned sledgehammer.

"Huh? Ah, these are the two hunters, so I won't participate in the stripping. Thank you for your help!" The sledgehammer who had just recovered said with both hands.

"I mean, is the smell of blood likely to attract more monsters?"

Hearing this, the Sledgehammer scratched his head and said, "That's not true. The land around the old village is barren, and there are not many small monsters. Occasionally, there will be pterosaurs flying from a distance, aiming at the 'human smell' here." Patronize.

If you are worried that it is not safe, just burn it in a while. "

Xia Zuo nodded, and he turned to look at Agassi, his eyes signaled the pterosaur corpse on the ground.

Agathi shrugged, saying there was no demand.

Xia Zuo then said to the sledgehammer: "The pterosaur material is useless to us, if you need it, please do it yourself."

The Sledgehammer was stunned for a moment, noticed the advanced equipment on Xia Zuo and others that he had never even seen before, smiled and rubbed his hands, "Then you are welcome!"

Although the pterosaur is not a powerful monster, its skin is very tough after being tanned. With some other materials, it can make quite good equipment at the second and third star stages.

Even if it is not used as equipment material, it can be sold to recyclers. This kind of striped leather is very popular in the market.

Xia Zuo and the others did not leave immediately, and they still had some questions to ask the Sledgehammer.

He is not like a hunter in Micheng, he may come from a nearby village, and he seems to be familiar with the old village and the surrounding environment.

After disposing of the corpses of the pterosaurs, the sledgehammer grabbed a handful of dry sand from the ground, rubbed the blood off his hands, raised his head and said with a smile, "You are the elite sent by the guild, right? It's amazing!

My name is Adkins, and I come from a little-known village in the south of Senqiu. You can just call me Ajin. "

The sledgehammer who called himself Ajin looked in his thirties. Judging from his equipment, he should be a two-star or three-star hunter, and he probably joined the war voluntarily.

"Hello, Mr. Jin."

Xia Zuo nodded, and didn't put on airs because the opponent's hunter was not high-level, "I'm Xia Zuo. As you said, I was sent by the guild. I just arrived here last night. I have some questions and I want to ask someone familiar with it."

"Just ask!"

Maybe it was because Xia Zuo and the others were elite hunters, or maybe it was because of the kindness of Xia Zuo and others who helped him from under the claws of the pterosaur and gave him the material, A Jin was quite enthusiastic.

"In the past few days, will small monsters appear more frequently than before?"

A Jin thought for a while, nodded and said: "It will be a little bit, mainly pterosaurs. A week or two ago, I might not see any of them for two days. In the past few days, I have to appear several times a day."

Xia Zuo nodded, he was not surprised by this answer.

This is the habit of pterosaurs. They followed the old mountain dragon to leave the deep mountains, patrol around and prey, and their activity radius can reach hundreds of kilometers.

As the old mountain dragon gradually approached, it is normal for the frequency of these flying monsters to increase.

"Apart from pterosaurs, have any velociraptors appeared?"

"Basically no."

This time A Jin answered quickly, "I came to Jiuzhai about twelve or three days ago, um, I was escorting an engineering team.

From that day to now, Athlon has only appeared once in the old village, and it is still an old blue Athlon who has broken away from the ethnic group.

I heard from the brothers patrolling around here that there are not many monsters in a radius of more than ten kilometers, and basically only pterosaurs need to be wary. "

"Can't even see small monsters? How barren is it here?" Hayata underestimated in a low voice.

Gordon explained to her in a low voice: "He may have misunderstood, monsters are rare nearby, probably not because of the barren land, there are Huang Velociraptor and sandfish in the desert.

If I'm not wrong, it should be because of the breath of the ancient dragon. "

Hayata was stunned.

As the place where humans fought Laoshanlong and other ancient dragon-level creatures in the past hundreds of years, Jiuzhai has long been soaked in the blood of ancient dragons.

Over the past few decades, these breaths will not have any negative impact on monsters, but they can easily make them feel uneasy.

Of course, except for those pterosaurs and velociraptors surrounding Lao Shanlong, they are already used to it.

What Gordon can think of, the more experienced Xia Zuo can naturally think of it too.

But he didn't correct A Jin's statement. After all, for the hunters before being promoted to six stars, the information of the ancient dragon species is semi-confidential.

The guild never mentioned the term "ancient dragon" in the public descriptions of Laoshanlong and Fengshanlong, which are too large to hide their existence.

Instead, use "some kind of super-giant monster with an extremely long life" to describe it.

"I see."

Xia Zuo thought for a while, then called Evelyn and Pig Chop and said, "The plan to reduce the number of small monsters can be prepared in advance.

According to Mr. A Jin, the distribution of pterosaurs may still be scattered. It is estimated that a large group of velociraptors will rush over together, and some of them must be resolved first, otherwise the interference will be too great. "

Evelyn discussed with Pig Chop in a low voice and nodded, "Understood, we will start to coordinate the bombs today, let's go and confirm a few places to arrange the bait and bomb barrels.

It is best to find more people and detonate several locations at the same time, so as to ensure the maximum killing effect. If the detonation is scattered, I am worried that the velociraptors will be frightened and run around. "

"If you need manpower, we can help!"

Ajin suddenly said: "There are quite a few hunters like me who escorted the caravan and stayed to contribute.

Although most of us are ineffective guys, I guess there is nothing we can do with that old mountain dragon, but if it is moving things, setting traps, bait, etc., it must be no problem! "

Xia Zuo admired A Jin's willingness to help, nodded to him, expressed his thanks, and then turned to the other people, "The facilities on the city wall and Battle Street are almost confirmed by everyone.

Pork Chop followed me to the warehouse to get the materials for blending bombs.

Evelyn, go and confirm where the bait and bombs are set up. Don't forget to mark them on the map and communicate to the guild later.

Gordon, go find Miles and ask him to help select a few reliable shooters. Don't forget to rehearse the process of detonating the bombs at the same time. "

"Good meow!"

"clear."

"Mr. Ajin, please find more people, and come directly to the warehouse when you find them. In a few days, Laoshanlong and hordes of velociraptors and pterosaurs are coming, we have to hurry up time."

"no problem!"

Under Xia Zuo's arrangement, Gordon and the others, who were still a little confused and not sure what they should do in the past few days, suddenly became busy.

The busiest person was Miles.

Due to its special status among the local archers in Minagarde, it seems to have become the leader of the archer hunters in the old village.

Arranging artillery positions and shooting positions, planning attack waves, debugging facilities, organizing rehearsals of attacks, and transition procedures, he has to worry about a lot of things.

Xia Zuo's work is also similar, except that he is in charge of the swordsman part.

With the efforts of these two old hunters, the scattered and chaotic hunters in the old village were gradually organized and united.

And among the mountains to the north of the fortress, the old mountain dragon was getting closer and closer.
