Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Since the so-called 'King' is sleeping, it must not be an ordinary tower."

The professor pondered, "Assuming that the 'king' is a taboo-level existence, within the scope of the known world, there should be only three places that can be called 'towers', and there may be taboos living there.

The ancient pyramids in the forest without water, the ancient pagodas deep in the sea of ​​trees in Hong Leong area, and the sky corridor on the isolated island in the far sea. "

"It can't be the Sky Corridor." The Great Elder shook his head, ruling out one of the possibilities, "The Sky Corridor is too big and too high, just the area barely confirmed by the investigation team has more than 500 floors, the overall height It is above a thousand floors.

There are countless monsters with a very high level of danger living in it, and there are also 'fanren' guards.

Even with the strength of the entire guild, regardless of casualties, it would take at least several generations to clear the monsters inside the corridor.

If the "tower" in Proverbs refers to the sky corridor, then this warning is meaningless, because it is an impossible task.

And it should come directly to the old man, not to a few young hunters. "

Listening to the exchange between the two old men, Gordon, who thought he knew a lot, couldn't help opening his mouth.

There are more than a thousand layers of ruins in this world? Even if each floor is only three meters high, the height of the building must not exceed three thousand meters? ? !

The professor continued: "The ancient pyramid without water and forest is also unlikely, the ruins are big enough, it is not surprising that there are ancient dragons living there, but the territory where the taboo level exists will not be easily changed.

Only last year did the archaeological team fully explore the ancient pyramids, and found no particularly dangerous monsters, and the Gulong Observation Bureau did not find any abnormalities in the waterless forest area. "

"From this point of view, the ancient pagoda in the depths of Fenglong's mysterious sea of ​​trees should be the only 'tower' that meets the requirements." The elder said slowly: "Our understanding of the sea of ​​trees and the remains of that ancient pagoda Knowledge is too vague.

To be honest, I wouldn’t find it strange that any old man is sleeping there, maybe, it’s time to send a team to check it out..."

"You can't go in!"

"Guard! Stop it!"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the hall door, the Great Elder ignored these movements, frowning and thinking.

The Silver Edge Hunting Group is good enough, but this matter may involve taboos, and he is a little worried about putting all the burden on a few young people.

It is best to arrange an eight-star or even nine-star hunter leader to replace the five-star girl.

The commotion outside the hall intensified, and there was even a fight, and the Great Elder's thoughts were interrupted.

The grumpy old man raised his head with displeasure on his face, and slammed the huge sword in his hand, which was as thick as a doorpost. The blunt sound of thunder was accompanied by a deafening shout, resounding through the Great Old Hall.

"who!"

The movement outside the door stopped for a while, and the intruder seemed to be caught, but its sharp voice continued to penetrate through the thick wooden door, "Save Meow! See the Great Elder! Please Meow!"

A guild staff hurried in, saluted the elder nervously, and quickly reported: "There is a Meralu trying to break into the elder hall, but was stopped by the guild knight."

"Melaru?"

Under the dissatisfied glare of the great elder, the staff members trembled a little. He hesitated for half a second before continuing to explain: "It should be a hunter's hunting partner. Its owner seems to be in danger, so it wants to ask you for help directly. .”

This happens occasionally.

Under normal circumstances, it should go to the counter of the gathering place to issue an emergency rescue mission, but it often takes some time to find a hunter who is willing to undertake the rescue mission.

Some people are anxious and can't wait, and will try to find the guild supervisor or even the elder. If they agree to directly assign high-ranking hunters to rescue, the efficiency will be much higher.

But the high-level hunters are not firefighters after all, if they do this again and again, the high-level hunters don't have to do other things.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the Great Elders seldom agree to directly dispatch high-ranking hunters to carry out the rescue, and regardless of whether they agree or not, the behavior of forcibly breaking into the Great Elder Hall will always be punished afterwards.

The Great Elder whose thoughts were interrupted was obviously not in a good mood, but thinking that a hunter was in danger, he still softened his heart, "Let him come in and explain the situation."

Soon, a guild knight with fine scratches on his face came in carrying a gray-faced Meralu.

Under everyone's gaze, the Meralu was obviously a little scared, but thinking of its master's situation at this time, it mustered up its courage with a trembling beard, "We, our master has taken the task of hunting the velociraptor, meow, in Fenglong's sea of ​​trees Meow, also. It is also a task to be promoted to five-star meow!

We severely damaged the Xunlong cat, and then chased it into a super-large ruined cat in the depths of the sea of ​​trees. As a result, a strange booming dragon rushed out, and killed the Xunlong cat in one bite!

The red booming dragon is so powerful meow, the roar is very loud, like a big barrel bomb meow! It will really explode meow!

We can't fight at all, the master is stuck in the ruins, he stopped Honglong to create a chance for us, let us run out and ask for help meow"

Gordon and the others looked strange, as did the Great Elder and the professor.

The girl in ancient costumes, the motto referring to 'noisy', the ruins of the ancient tower, the alien booming dragon with a particularly loud roar, the hunter in distress, Meralu's call for help

All of this is too coincidental, as if someone has carefully arranged all the links and stuck the time points together precisely.

It is for the guild to send high-ranking hunters to the ancient tower.

"You just said, a red booming dragon with a particularly loud roar?" Anshir confirmed to Melaru, "This is the first time I've heard that there are red booming dragons."

"Yes, meow! We were the ones who went to the counter to announce the rescue mission first, and they all said that they had never heard of the red booming dragon, and that it might be a subspecies or rare species that had never been seen before.

So the difficulty of the task is set to be extremely high, meow, seven, seven star difficulty meow, there is no one who can help meow! We really have no choice but to come here, meow." Melaru said aggrievedly.

This situation is understandable.

Most hunters are still willing to help if their peers are in distress, but if the danger is far beyond the scope of their own strength, then they can only say sorry.

"How long ago did you encounter that red booming dragon?" Gordon asked Melaru suddenly.

"Three, late at night three days ago?" Melalu misunderstood Gordon's meaning, and took the initiative to explain: "The Hong Leong area and the old continent are separated by sea, so our master rented an airship to go there. , we are also the ones who came here in that empty boat!

Not long, meow, there must be someone to save meow! "

Gordon looked up at the elder, "That mysterious girl also came to us in the middle of the night three days ago, almost at the same time."

"Do you think these two things are directly related?"

"I think so." Gordon looked at the elder, nodded and said, "There are so many coincidences that it is abnormal, it would be more reasonable to say that they were arranged.

On the one hand, it lured the hunters to encounter the red booming dragon, forcing them to ask for help, on the other hand, it gave us a warning, let us deal with the noisy monsters, and went in both directions.

Although there are still many places where the logic is not smooth, she...it probably didn't intend to arrange things so reasonably and perfectly. It is enough to fool us to solve the problem. "

Hayata raised his hand and said: "My view is a bit different, this may not be 'two-way travel', but 'double insurance'.

She warned us in the image of a girl in ancient costumes, and induced Meralu to send news of the existence of the Red Booming Dragon. The purpose is to let the guild dispatch forces to hunt the Red Booming Dragon.

As long as one of the lines succeeds, the goal is achieved. "

"But why is it so troublesome?" Fengying, who was a little dizzy after hearing it, looked confused, "Don't those 'people' sometimes go to the meeting place to issue tasks? Why not just issue the task of hunting the red booming dragon?" ?”

"It makes sense." Anshir nodded, and then asked the elder, "So, is there such a task?"

The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, and called a female dragonman clerk, "Go and check to see if there are any strange task documents, and focus on checking the task issuer, the girl in ancient costume or something."

The dragon-human document nodded and left quickly.

Everyone comforted the impatient Meralu, and after waiting for less than half an hour, the clerk came back with two receipts with a strange expression, and the guild director with the same strange expression came with him.
