Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

(There was a bug in the plot yesterday, which mentioned the eternal frost soil. This area has not yet been discovered at this time. A reader pointed out that it has been modified. Because that paragraph was deleted, the corresponding paragraph comments will also show deletion, not deletion. Comment)

Now that he has the direction, Gordon no longer intends to stay in the stronghold and wait for the next mission assignment.

He and Ted approached the Commander-in-Chief, hoping to get permission to go to the Grand Canyon and fight against the Acid Pterosaurs.

The commander-in-chief readily approved, but there were some conditions attached.

One is that the number of people participating in this operation should not exceed three people. In order to capture a few acid pterosaurs, recruiting too many people would be overkill.

The second one is to hope that they will conduct reconnaissance, from the ancient giant tree to the north, to the large area of ​​​​the Grand Canyon.

Although the monitor of the research class said that the probability of this happening is low.

But if something really changes on the Coral Platform, causing the multi-headed wind-drifting dragon to leave its original habitat and migrate into the ancient tree forest, it is likely to leave some traces when flying over the Grand Canyon.

The commander-in-chief, who was worried, had originally planned to send personnel to investigate this area, and they happened to be on the way.

There was nothing to hesitate, and the two Gordons readily agreed.

As for who else to bring with them, they all agreed that it had to be a shooter, otherwise it would be troublesome for the two heavy-weapon swordsmen to knock the acid pterosaur down from the sky.

Ted's blunderbuss can fire all the bullets, but the question is whether it is necessary to capture the downed Acid Pterosaur. If you peel it off directly, you may not be able to peel off any good skin.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to call Anhir.

The reason is simple. As one of the only three shooters in the Special Investigation Team, Ancil has an advantage that the other two cannot match - he has a dog.

Gale is very good, whether it is reconnaissance, search, transportation, or bait, he is a good hand.

Faced with the invitation from the two of them, Anhir chose to accept it without saying a word.

In recent days, he has been having a rough time.

The three-person team of Gale, Xuanxu, and Herta showed inexplicable mobility and ran to the ancient tree forest all day long.

This one is nothing.

Herta is obsessed with investigating species and ecology in the New World and sharing the results with her companions.

While guarding her, Gale taught Xunxu hunting techniques.

Xuanxu was learning and collecting while passing on the knowledge of survival in the wild to Herta and Gale.

The three of them made progress together and were doing well in all aspects. The Commander-in-Chief looked pleased when he saw them.

Until Gale accidentally tricked him.

After Gale discovered that grubs like to eat endurance thunderworms, she suggested that she try breeding them.

The hunter's cabin shared by three people was obviously not suitable for breeding, so Xue Xue, at Gale's suggestion, or instigation, begged Ancil, hoping to raise some "cute animals" in the courtyard of the latter's luxurious cabin. little animals”.

Anhir thought it was a detour rabbit or something, so he happily agreed.

Then one day when I got home, I found that my yard was crawling with white flesh bugs. If it rains, these slimy things will crawl into the house, climb on the walls, climb on the bed, and crawl on him. On the body.

What he hates most is flesh bugs!

Lifeng liked it very much. If it weren't for the fear of the crickets fighting it, it would have finished eating.

In the past two days, Ancil was so disgusted by thunderworms that he had a nervous breakdown. Out of dignity, he didn't want people to know that he was afraid of bugs, and he couldn't go back on what he had promised before.

We had no choice but to invest money and ask the material squad leader and the people from the Plant Biology Research Institute to develop a small breeding farm on the edge of the stronghold.

I plan to get rid of these bugs after the breeding farm is built.

However, the construction of a breeding farm also takes time. He doesn't want to sleep with the bugs and has nowhere to go.

Gordon and the others just happened to come and agreed immediately.

It's better to sleep in the open air than to have a bed crawling with bugs.

After taking some time to check the equipment, prepare dry food, ammunition and other supplies, as well as transport trucks, they set off overnight under Ancier's repeated urging.

As they set off, they happened to bump into the returning Gale trio.

Anhil glared at Gale fiercely. Although Gale didn't know why, he still glared back without showing any weakness.

"Damn it, are you afraid of me?!"

The walk north to the Grand Canyon is not an easy one.

The forest of ancient trees with lush vegetation is not suitable for driving. Even if there is a strong wind pulling the cart and the pig chop driving the car, and the three hunters take turns to open the way, the forward speed is still embarrassingly slow.

Occasionally they encountered some streams or muddy and potholed roads, and they couldn't wait to lift the car and walk.

But if you want to bring the captured acid pterosaur back to the stronghold, a cart is necessary.

After all, they don't just want to bring back one or two, but they plan to bring back at least five or six, preferably to form a population once and for all.

They did not forget the Commander-in-Chief's commission. As they hurried on hard, they also had to conduct reconnaissance to look for any anomalies along the way.

I don’t know whether to say it’s a pity or a blessing, but in the end nothing unusual was found.

It seems that just as the research team leader speculated, the purple wind-drifting dragon was driven out of its habitat by the group just because of individual differences.

Rather than a large-scale migration caused by some mutation.

However, there must be gains and losses.

During this long, long-distance trek in the forest, they became truly familiar with this vast forest of ancient trees.

I drank the honeydew from the rejuvenating honey bugs, caught light bugs that were different from the old world species, and even the endurance thunder bugs that could be seen everywhere were somewhat palatable.

If you get used to it, this thing is actually quite delicious. It tastes a bit like raw fish wrapped in a raw bird egg. At least it is easier to chew than carrying food.

If you have free time, build a bonfire, skewer the twigs and grill them until they are crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which tastes better than barbecue.

Except Ancil.

Everything else was easy to say. He would never touch the Endurance Thunder Bug unless it was a matter of life and death.

More than a week passed without realizing it.

When the towering and continuous mountains, like earth barriers, appeared at the end of the horizon, the dusty hunters exhaled.

The Grand Canyon, one of the greatest natural wonders of the New World, is already in sight.

At the same time, the star stronghold.

Aziz and Lin, who has almost become his regular partner, are reporting to the commander-in-chief.

"You said that there is a Deter (Lynx) tribe that has approached you?" the commander-in-chief frowned.

Aziz put the helmet on the table, "Well, I don't think it's an active approach. There was one, when we were fishing for fish, it poked its head out of the bushes, showed its face, meowed and ran away. .

We didn't want to catch up with it at first, but it ran back again. After going back and forth a few times, we felt that it wanted to take us somewhere, so we followed it.

It kept a distance from us and never communicated with us. It just kept leading us to the west.

Both Er and Lin chased it for more than ten kilometers, and it didn't stop. "

Fish investigator Lin took over and continued: "Later, we saw that it was getting dark, and my physical strength was a little unable to keep up. I felt that it would be unwise to continue chasing, so I came back first.

When we left on the pterosaur, it ran out and looked very anxious. There must be something wrong, and we'd better find a way to get in touch with it again. "

The commander-in-chief pondered, "Detel is very timid and would not take the initiative to approach humans under normal circumstances. He is afraid that there is something important that he wants us to know.

This matter deserves attention.

Where was the place where you met the Deter and where you were separated? "

Lin immediately pointed out the location on the map.

The commander-in-chief nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he began to issue instructions: "Az, you and Professor Monroe (an experienced orc researcher) will make another trip tomorrow.

I will ask Hayata to take Pandan with you. With Elu here, it will be easier to communicate with Detel, plus Oshula.

Two high-level swordsmen and one high-level archer can handle almost any situation.

Remember, your main task is to investigate. If you encounter an unexpected danger, prioritize self-protection and report back. Do you understand? "

"Um, I understand!"

Chief Secretary Lin crossed his arms again, his expression unchanged, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since the arrival of the special investigation team, manpower has really become abundant, and high-level hunters can be sent out three at a time.

Ps. For easier understanding, a map of the New World is attached.

To give a brief description, the ancient tree forest is in the south of the New World, and to the north is the Grand Canyon. Through the Grand Canyon, you can reach the continental coral platform.

At this time, the Grand Canyon had not been opened by the Lava Dragon, so it had to be climbed with bare hands. Only a few people could do it (field masters, grand group leaders, research class monitors, etc.).

In other words, at this time, a small number of elite personnel can reach the land coral, miasma valley, and even the dragon crystal after climbing over the canyon with bare hands, but it will be difficult to establish a camp because the materials cannot be transported.
