Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 195 Pork Chop’s Explosion Plan

It's now around three or four in the afternoon. It's too late to set off for hunting, and my physical strength doesn't allow it.

But if you just collect materials nearby, it's still very safe.

This oasis is not very big and you can walk from one end to the other in a few minutes.

There is a small lake in the oasis. The deepest part of the lake may be less than one meter, but you can still see fish swimming in it.

This may be the only source of water nearby.

The creatures in the desert are famous for their tenacity, not just animals, but also plants. As long as they get a little bit of soil and moisture, they will grow stubbornly and savagely.

Therefore, the number of plants available for collection in the oasis was beyond Gordon's expectation.

Fireweed, nitrifying mushrooms and other materials that are quite common in desert areas were quickly collected in considerable quantities.

The same goes for spider webs. Pork Chop got into a low, shady stone crevice and collected several pairs.

Weaving this thing together with ivy can create a strong and sticky net, which is a necessary material for making hole traps.

It's a pity that the thunder bug was not found. This small creature may not be adapted to such a dry environment.

The paralysis trap seems to be a no-brainer.

With sharp eyes, Zhupa was surprised to find that among the fish swimming at the bottom of the small lake, there was a Broken Arowana.

This fish is very unpalatable, with not much meat from head to tail, but its sharp and thick scales have a wide range of uses.

For example, if there is a set of armor called "Fish Scale Set", use it as the main material.

But that's not its main purpose.

Broken Dragon Fish is commonly found in the blending list of various explosives. Adding it as an auxiliary material can greatly increase the power of gunpowder.

——This is how the barrel bomb G is made.

So Gordon was dragged by Pork Chop to go fishing.

Now that it has the chance, it wants to extract such a powerful explosive bomb no matter what.

It is not difficult to catch the Broken Arowana. The lake is only a little deep and very clear. Within a few minutes, Gordon caught several of them, making the pork chop jump with joy.

"I also found this meow!" Pig Chop handed over a bunch of bright red fruits as if offering a treasure.

It's chili pepper.

Gordon smiled and teased: "Are you going to cook the spicy cracked arowana soup?"

"That's nonsense, meow!" Pig Chop said angrily: "Chili can be used to mix hot drinks, meow. We only prepared cold drinks this time, no hot drinks, meow!"

Gordon was stunned when he heard this, and then realized what the pork chop meant.

Drinking hot drinks in the desert may sound outrageous, but it's actually quite normal.

At night after the sun sets, the desert is extremely cold, and the temperature may even drop below freezing. If for some reason you need to hunt at night, hot drinks are a necessary consumable.

"I really forgot to prepare this. I'll mix up a few bottles later, just in case." Gordon rubbed Pork Chop's little head and praised.

Holding the few flapping broken arowanas in his arms, Pork Chop began to count the ingredients in detail.

"With gunpowder grass and nitrifying mushrooms, you can make a lot of gunpowder. Plus the rupture arowana, it's only one step away from the barrel explosive bomb G!"

"What's the difference?" Gordon, who also knew the blending process of Barrel Bomb G, asked it funny.

"I'm missing a big bucket, meow." Pig Chop drooped his ears.

The barrels used to make barrel bombs are usually finished products purchased from merchants, so how can they be collected by collecting them in the desert?

"It doesn't matter, meow!" Zhupa suddenly cheered up, "I might have been helpless in the past, but after practicing with my teacher, I am no longer the same meow!"

After looking around, Pig Pork pointed at a few palm trees by the lake and said, "We can try using the palm branches and trunks of the palm trees, meow!"

Gordon thought about it and realized that what Pork Chop said made sense.

The function of the vat is actually to contain gunpowder and compress the power of the explosion to a certain extent.

We don't have a big barrel right now, so maybe it's feasible to use a lot of brown stuff to make a few explosive packs? The power might be a bit uninteresting, but it's better than nothing.

A man and a cat ran towards the palm tree.

"ah!"

Something suddenly kicked under Gordon's feet and he almost tripped. He stumbled forward a few steps and barely managed to steady himself by putting his hands on the ground.

An exotic gold coin that had been caressed until it sparkled fell out of his collar.

Gordon didn't think much and stuffed the gold coin that had brought him countless good luck back into his armor, and looked back to see what had tripped him.

"This is?"

Gordon walked over and pushed aside the yellow sand with his toes, revealing a curved wooden strip with rivets.

Pork Chop also came over, "It looks like a broken wheel, meow."

"Dig it up and take a look!" Gordon showed some interest.

It is not common to encounter similar man-made objects in the desert, but it is not new either. It should have been abandoned by a caravan passing through the oasis when it rested here.

As Gordon and Pork Chop excavated, the full picture of the man-made objects under the yellow sand was revealed.

Just as Gordon guessed, this was an abandoned truck with its axle completely disconnected. It could not be repaired in the desert and had to be discarded.

There are also some old wooden boards, ropes and the like scattered around.

"Meow?!!"

Pork Chop suddenly jumped up and dug excitedly towards a certain spot. The yellow sand raised up made Gordon's face smeared.

It found several large cracked barrels!

Gordon: "?"

Is it really possible to collect large barrels in the desert? (Really capable, serious face)

There are four wooden barrels in total. One of them was seriously damaged, with only half of it remaining. The other three were relatively intact, but the wooden boards were cracked.

Pork Chop went up to it and smelled it. There was still a faint smell of wine in the barrel. It might have been used to hold wine.

Perhaps because the axle broke, the cart overturned, and the wine barrels rolled to the ground. Several of them were broken and cracked. The merchants took away the remaining wine, and the broken barrels had to be thrown away with the cart.

Gordon took out the transfer gold coin sent by Hayata with a subtle expression, looked at it a few more times, then stuffed it back and said to the pig: "Okay, now we even have a big bucket.

We used these scrap wooden boards and car boards and simply repaired them, making them completely usable."

"Four big barrel bombs will smear its face, meow! I'm going to blow it up to death, meow!"

The door of the East Doruma Hunter Gathering Hall was pushed open.

The person who pushed the door open was a tall female hunter wearing a pure white armor suit.

Behind her is a weapon called the "Zanpo Sword".

This is a metal-derived sword based on the "Iron Sword [Kagura]" and reinforced with a large amount of chanchite and thunder bags. It has quite impressive thunder attribute effects.

The armor called "Strange Dragon Suit" comes with a hood, so her appearance cannot be seen clearly, and only a trace of brown hair floating out from the edge of the hood can be seen.

When she came to the counter, she was a little startled by the identical looks of the triplets, but she quickly reacted and handed over her hunter's note.

"Hello, I would like to register at the East Doruma Assembly Hall. This is my hunter's note."

Hetty took the note and said softly: "Of course, please wait a moment."

Hurley, who had no work on her hands, came over with a smile, "Wow, the little sister's eyes are so beautiful, emerald green, like spring leaves!"

"Ah, thank you for the compliment." Faced with Hurley's compliment, Miss Hunter was a little overwhelmed.

"Sorry." The second sister Herta lowered her head apologetically.

She took Hurley aside and began daily discipline.

At this time, Hetty, who had completed the information registration, also returned the other party's hunter's note. She folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Miss Hayata, welcome to the East Doruma Hunter Assembly Hall."
