Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Brother Gordon."

The young swordsman scratched his hedgehog-like short hair and looked a little embarrassed, "Can you do those few moves just now?"

Of course Gordon knew what the other party was going to ask, and he didn't mind teaching others the skills he had mastered.

He nodded and was about to agree, but the swordsman master spoke first, "Don't teach him this yet."

Standing up from the wooden box with his hands on his knees, the old hunter said to his disciple: "Your swordsmanship level, muscle strength, and fighting spirit strength are not up to standard yet.

If you study now, you won’t be able to learn well, and it will distract your energy.

It will take at least three to four years before you are qualified to touch these. Now, let's slowly polish the strong charged slash and true charged slash. "

"Okay." Hunter was a little regretful, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter.

Wearing the helmet with the huge gap to cover his old face, the swordsman master is still tall and tall.

Adjusting his helmet, he turned to Gordon, "Starting tomorrow, you will go into the wild, right? Listen to me, an old guy, chatter.

When you come to this new continent, you need to concentrate on your five senses.

The only things you can rely on at the last moment are your intuition and your heart. "

The three-day holiday is over.

On the fourth day after arriving at the Star Stronghold, the top hunters of the Special Investigation Team gathered on a bow deck on the second-floor platform of the stronghold.

There is a huge square table here, which is piled with reports and maps.

When I visited the stronghold before, I heard from the senior members of the investigation team that this is the "headquarters" of the investigation team.

On weekdays, the Commander-in-Chief usually stays here to handle various matters, and most meetings of the investigation team are held here.

"Everyone is here." The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and glanced at the hunters of the special investigation team standing around the big table.

When he noticed that their armors were hung with the emblems symbolizing the "New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team" and "Special Investigation Team", the commander-in-chief, who was always very serious, inevitably had a smile on his face.

"No more nonsense, let's get started." The commander-in-chief stood on the bow of the ship, which was slightly higher than the deck. "Unlike the old continent, the tasks in the new continent are more about investigation than hunting.

There are certainly cases of head-on combat, but to be honest, there are very few cases where you can fight as a group with superior strength. "

The hunters nodded, as they had some understanding of this in advance.

Among the previous four groups of the Special Investigation Team, except for a few outstanding old hunters in the first group, there were basically no hunters in the second and third groups.

There are a dozen hunters in the large fourth-phase group, but most of them are four-star and five-star elite hunters.

High-level combat power is very scarce.

If it weren't for the worry that the ancient dragon turmoil in the New World would worsen, which might lead to more subsequent threats, the Great Elder would not have approved the dispatch of such a large number of high-ranking hunters to the New World at once.

Gordon heard something else from the commander-in-chief's words. He raised his hand and asked: "You mean, in many cases we will not act as a team, but will conduct separate investigations?"

"That's right." The Commander-in-Chief nodded, "Your teams of 'Silver Bian' and 'Alcohol' are powerful and can compete head-on with Gu Long.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the trump card of our New World Investigation Team.

If it is an ordinary investigation mission that has nothing to do with ancient dragons, it would be too wasteful to dispatch an entire team of high-level hunters at once. Therefore, there will be many cases of single-person investigations. "

Gordon and others nodded to express their understanding.

It is true that they are used to working in teams, but they are not afraid of fighting alone. If the investigation team needs it, there is nothing unacceptable about temporarily splitting up.

"Let's talk about the first mission first. It's not actually a mission, it's just a daily reconnaissance exploration, and it's also a 'teaching'.

I will arrange for someone to follow you and teach you some new things that are only available here, and at the same time give you the opportunity to practice using the projectile and guide insects.

There is no need to force a group for this mission. The three people from Yinbian will use the giant tree as a starting point to scout ten kilometers southeast. Hunter, you follow them. "

"Oh!" Hunter gave a thumbs up.

"Azi, reconnaissance along the coastline south of the giant tree. You are a sea dweller and have special advantages in water reconnaissance. I will be entrusting you with this part of the investigation work in the future.

Lin, you are with Aziz this time. "

Behind the Commander-in-Chief, a long-haired man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying fishing gear on his back, looked at Aziz and smiled.

Even though they had only known each other for two or three days, they were already good brothers.

As for the reason, the man in the wide-brimmed hat has a nickname, "The Lonely Fish Investigator."

"Evelyn, Feidi, you two are scouting the star stronghold to the giant tree, which is the northern area of ​​the giant tree. Pop (passionate ecological investigator), you and them."

A woman wearing turquoise leather armor and an invisible suit draped behind her back greeted the couple enthusiastically, "Please give me some advice~!"

"The three alcoholics are scouting the western area of ​​​​the giant tree. Like Silver Edge, they have explored ten kilometers. Mr. Monroe (an experienced orc scholar) will take them. Please don't be distracted this time and look for the Detel clan. The matter cannot be solved in a day or two.”

An old dragon man wearing a bamboo hat waved the bone staff in his hand to express that he understood.

"The last group, Gale, Xuanxu, and Heta, you are scouting the giant tree. It will take some effort to climb to the top of the giant tree, so be careful."

"Wait?!" Before Chief Secretary Lin finished speaking, An Xil raised a question.

"Why are Xuanxu and Herta included? They are not hunters, right?!"

The Commander-in-Chief did not mind Ancier's rudeness. He knew that Xuanxu was Ancier's sister, so it was natural for him to be worried, so he patiently explained:

"Herta joined as a trainee editor at the Institute of Ecology. She has sufficient professional knowledge but insufficient experience in field operations, but she must be trained.

I believe Miss Gale is strong enough to ensure her safety.

As an additional reminder, the two-player action mode of one hunter and one editor is a teaming plan we are currently exploring.

If practice proves suitable, the fifth phase of the group may follow this model on a large scale.

As for Xuanxu, she was born in the Fenglong Sea of ​​Trees, and she must be able to live like a fish in the ancient forest. Maybe we will be the ones to be taught.

I have also considered security issues, and Mecca will lead them in action for a period of time. "

"okay!"

"clear."

"Okay!"

Gale and the other three responded one after another. Seeing this, Anhil could only retreat helplessly.

Even if he says something else, these three guys probably won't listen. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief has made arrangements, and Mr. Mecca is still very strong.

Mecca, the dragon hunter standing next to the Commander-in-Chief, also sighed helplessly.

To be honest, he is still more accustomed to acting alone, going deep into the wilderness alone. An insect stick is enough, and there is no need to bring it with him when hunting insects.

Instead of taking three young girls on a tree-climbing outing like now.

However, the team-up model between editors and hunters is indeed highly anticipated by them, and someone always needs to follow and confirm the rationality and reliability of this model with their own eyes.

Xuanxuan is also a good boy. They communicated with each other during the sea voyage, and he benefited a lot from the natural symbiosis of the Shuhai aborigines.

As the Commander-in-Chief said, he might actually be the real beneficiary of traveling with this child.

The enthusiastic ecological investigator (Pop), the experienced orc scholar (Monroe), and the aloof fish investigator (Lin), these three are very important among NPCs. Many side tasks are related to them, or They released it.

In parentheses are their names in the book.

Pop's official design is the eldest lady (Capcom really likes to let rich and powerful people be scholars, which is reasonable). Monroe and Lin were originally her subordinates, but they are also very outstanding in their respective fields. As a result, the corresponding image was posted in the comments.
