Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Gordon noticed that although the uncle tried hard to keep a straight face, he tried to put on a calm expression that said, "This thing is just a trivial matter to me."

But the self-satisfied expression at the corner of his mouth could not be stopped even by his extremely lush beard.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Gordon stepped forward to the long table, held the hilt of the explosive knife with both hands, raised it with a slight shout, and at the same time pressed his body back slightly, tensed up, and made a standard

The sword is ready for battle.

"Humph! This is not how this murder weapon is used!"

The owner of the blacksmith shop finally lost his composure. He quickly walked towards Gordon, snatched the blasting knife from the latter's hand, and shook the arm holding the sword slightly.

"Clang!" a metallic clang sounded.

Five hook-shaped blades shimmering with cold light popped out from the smooth blade of the explosion knife, and together with the huge hook at the tip, they formed the unique blade of the explosion knife.

"This is the true form of the explosive knife!" the blacksmith shop owner said proudly.

"Don't underestimate these shiny little things. They are sharper than you imagine. Do you know why the explosive knife is designed to be able to retract the hook into the sword body?

This is to prevent these small claws from tearing apart the user's skin and armor when the hunter carries it behind his back!"

Gordon took the blasting knife from the blacksmith shop owner with a look of surprise on his face. After observing it carefully for a while, he asked: "Then how do I take back these blades?"

"As long as the back of the sword is facing down and the blade is upward, that is to say, you are putting the sword back on your back, and shaking the hilt at the same time, the mechanism in the sword body will automatically retract the blade."

Gordon tried it according to the method mentioned by the blacksmith shop owner.

Sure enough, with another metallic sound, the metal blades that were easily reminiscent of the monster's claws were retracted and hidden.

"Hey, just enjoy the beautiful sight of the monster's scales and flesh flying under her claws." The blacksmith shop owner opened his mouth and said, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

"I can't wait any longer!"

After hurriedly saying goodbye to the blacksmith shop owner, Gordon couldn't wait to rush to the training ground with the explosive knife, wanting to experience the wonderful feeling of wielding this big sword as soon as possible.

In the training ground, the instructor seemed to have been waiting for a while.

The sturdy middle-aged man patted a wooden stake wrapped in scrap leather next to him and was as thick as an adult man's thigh, and said:

"I know that as soon as you get a new weapon, you will rush over to try it out. I have prepared the target for you. Come and experience the power of heavy weapons!"

Gordon smiled and without saying much, he directly raised the blasting knife in his hand.

The steel clanked, and the metal hooks popped out of the blade. Gordon took a breath, adjusted his breath, and then let out a shout.

"Drink!"

The muscles of the whole body are tense, and the staggered steps drive the waist and upper body to rotate. The muscles and tendons of the whole body are like fully stretched bowstrings, concentrating every ounce of power on the explosive knife, and then bursting out instantly.

The sharp claws easily cut into the hard wooden stakes wrapped in leather, but this was only the beginning.

As the power continued to be input along the handle of the knife, superimposed on the huge inertia of the explosive knife itself, in a burst of teeth-piercing tearing sounds, the wooden target as high as a person was easily swung into two pieces.

Countless pieces of leather and wood were scattered everywhere, making the training ground a mess.

Although he was prepared in advance, the power of the explosive knife far exceeded Gordon's expectations.

If you use a hunter's knife and swing it with enough force, you should be able to cut the leather on the wooden stake with one blow, right? But that's the limit.

The slashing attack of the explosive knife is not just "cutting" or "chopping", but "tearing".

It can be predicted that the next second after those metal hooks are embedded in the monster's body, their scales and flesh will be torn into pieces in an instant.

This is the attack method of the great sword, brutal and direct.

"Not bad."

The instructor crossed his arms and said jokingly: "Now that the new weapon has been obtained and the basic training of the sword has been completed, is it time to take on a mission and practice it?"

Gordon placed the blasting knife on the ground.

“What I wish for!”

Crusade Mission: Peacemaker of the Forest (★)

Mission content: Defeat 10 blue velociraptors

Remuneration: 2000 gold

Mission location: West Shulet area

Limited time: 10 days

There are blue velociraptors, herbivorous dragons and spiritual deer everywhere in the Xisulet Forest Hills area. Please destroy some of them and reduce their numbers!

——

The commission was received from the village chief.

According to the instructor, in big cities like Minagard and Winterdorma, there will be special hunter gatherings, which not only provide intermediary, accommodation, catering and other services.

There is also a cute poster girl!

In comparison, the village elder who is dry and always confused is really boring.

Folding the parchment recording the mission commission into the hunter's notebook, Gordon prepared to go home first and set off as soon as he was ready.

It was said to be preparation, but in fact it was just to go back and put on armor. As for hunting props and the like, Gordon, who almost lost his fortune to make the explosive knife, didn't bring anything with him.

Anyway, there will be supplies prepared by the Hunter Guild in the hunting camp.

It's not like I'm going to hunt some dangerous large monsters, having those things is completely enough.

Compared to Gordon's excitement, Pork Chop seemed a little nervous.

This is its first mission since becoming a hunting cat, and its target is the blue velociraptor group that is the most troublesome among the Ellu tribe.

The so-called Blue Velociraptor is not a powerful monster, but a small carnivorous dinosaur with a ridge height of about 150 centimeters. Its individual strength is even worse than that of a large wild boar, and it can be regarded as the lowest level predator.

Not to mention Gordon who changed his weapon to a blasting knife, even if he used to hold a hunter's knife, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

However, to the wild Ellu tribe, these cunning, ferocious, and team-working guys are a greater threat than those large monsters.

Almost every year, Ellu is injured or even killed in their mouths.

Seeing Pork Chop's uneasiness, Gordon patted its nut shell helmet.

"Don't worry, they are just bullies. After entering the hunting ground, your main task is to help me be vigilant about the surroundings. Leave those 'Senqiu villains' to me to deal with!"

Pig Chop grasped the cat pick with both hands and shook his head vigorously: "I will work hard too, meow! Their heads are very fragile, meow. My father said that as long as I give their eyes a hard hit with the cat pick, they will..."

Fallen Meow!"

"Ha, you just have to have this momentum! Blue Velociraptor doesn't matter, do you know why I chose this task?" Gordon wiped his nose with his thumb and asked with a smile.

"Because the family has no money, meow? The pay for this task is quite high, meow!"

"Well, that's just one of the reasons!"

Gordon waved his hands awkwardly, "Material, it's material! I want to get a lot of blue velociraptor skin, scales, claws and teeth."

"Meow? Do you want to sell it for money, meow?" Pork Chop's furry little face looked confused.

"..."

Gordon glanced at his partner helplessly, "I'm not that obsessed with money yet. Hey, I'm not doing charades anymore, it's just to build new armor.

If we want to hunt stronger monsters, the 'kindergarten uniforms' we are wearing are not enough. The goal of our trip is to collect the materials for the Qilan Velociraptor suit!"
