Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes
Chapter 23 One star? Two stars?
The hunter and the monster started a confrontation.
They all know that their current state is not suitable for continuing to fight, but no one is willing to turn around first. Whoever shows cowardice first may lose the initiative in the battle.
Gordon suddenly grinned and smiled.
The reason why hunters can survive in the face of monsters that are much stronger than humans, or even defeat them, is because of their flexible brains and endless means.
My skin is soft and my body is fragile, so I arm myself with metal and monster scales.
Without sharp claws and teeth, we use wisdom and technology to create a variety of powerful weapons.
His physical strength and self-healing ability are not as good as those of monsters, so he uses alchemical medicine to make up for it.
Putting the big sword in front of him with one hand, Gordon reached out from the bag behind his waist and took out the hunters' favorite recovery medicine...
This is an advanced recovery medicine that is blended with honey and further extracted on the basis of ordinary recovery medicine. Its efficacy is nearly doubled compared to the ordinary version.
Of course, the cost is also much more expensive. Under normal circumstances, Gordon would be reluctant to use it, but now is the best time to use it.
After two gulps, he drank the green potion in the glass medicine. Gordon threw away the bottle and smacked his lips. It tasted good.
The effect is better.
A warm feeling spread throughout his body instantly, and the wounds on his chest, ribs and palms quickly stopped bleeding.
Naturally, it was impossible to recover immediately. It would take some time for the medicine to fully take effect, but in just a few seconds, he felt that he had recovered at least 70% to 80% of his combat power.
Blue Speed Dragon King slowly backed away.
The beast's instinct tells it that the other party is definitely not bluffing.
It was only two or three breaths, how could that guy's obviously weakened breath recover so much?!
The bright yellow vertical pupils stared at the hunter, and the Blue Speed Dragon King continued to retreat - it knew that it had to retreat.
The Blue Speed Dragon King, which retreated to the edge of the jungle, let out a threatening roar. It stared at Gordon deeply, and seeing that the latter had no intention of pursuing him, it turned around and fled into the jungle, eventually disappearing into the dark shadows of the trees.
Gordon shook his weak arms, squatted down, took out a sharpening stone, and carefully polished every hook blade of the explosive knife that was stained with blood.
Continuous slashing has made the hook blade of the explosive knife somewhat dull. If it is not sharpened in time to restore its sharpness, the weapon's power will be affected.
After polishing the weapon, Gordon drank another bottle of recovery potion and ate a piece of food to replenish his strength. After a short rest, he shouldered the explosive knife again.
Carefully distinguishing the footprints and blood stains hidden among the weeds and leaves, Gordon confidently looked in a certain direction.
Blue Speed Dragon King cannot run away.
...
The blue velociraptors are predators that are good at hunting, but not good at hiding their tracks.
In the late-winter mountain forest of Xiuretsen Hill, a pursuit battle that lasted for half a day finally came to an end in the afternoon as the sun set.
The Blue Speed Dragon King escaped several times, fought back, and even called his fellow tribesmen near the lair to launch an ambush, but Gordon steadily defused them all.
Even in the end, the Blue Speed Dragon King, whose hind limbs were severely injured and whose combat effectiveness was severely damaged, did not cause him any real trouble.
The huge crown, symbolizing the status of the king of the ethnic group, was eventually cut off by the hunter and became a trophy proving the completion of the hunt.
After finally escorting the caravan to a safe section of the road, Pork Chop, who hurriedly returned, did not rush back to the camp to meet Gordon after the sun had set.
Looking at the blue dragon king materials that were still stained with blood, Pork Chop looked a little disappointed.
Lord Gordon seems to be able to successfully hunt these powerful monsters without his own help...
But Gordon just pointed at his broken breastplate and the horrific wound from his chest to his waist and ribs, although the bleeding had stopped, the flesh was still turned out, and he said with a smile:
"If you were here, I wouldn't be so seriously injured."
"Yes, I'm sorry, meow!"
"I don't mean to blame you, I'm just stating the facts. Don't be downcast. Come and help me stitch up and bandage the wound!"
"Okay meow!"
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!"
"The stitches are going crooked! Don't move, meow!"
"You should be gentler!"
"I'm just Elu, I'm not good at needlework, meow! Please be patient, meow!"
...
After successfully hunting the Blue Velociraptor King and successfully solving the emergency mission, Gordon's hunter level was naturally promoted to two stars.
Looking at the second star mark branded on the animal skin cover of his hunter's notebook, the young hunter bared his teeth and grinned like a fool.
The improvement of hunter level represents more than just honor.
More tasks to choose from and higher salary standards are all real benefits.
In comparison, the "minor injuries" sustained on the body are not worth mentioning.
Because he is not good at sewing pork chops, he has a scar on his chest? Gordon would not take this kind of trivial matter to heart. Who is a hunter without a few scars on his body?
In order to celebrate his promotion, Gordon specially brought his instructor and pork chop to the only pub and restaurant in the village for a feast.
Charcoal-grilled mammoth steak, fruit and potato salad, grass-fed dragon tail soup stewed with onions and tomatoes, cream-baked mushrooms...
The meal cost nearly 500 gold, but Gordon didn't feel bad.
Occasional luxury is necessary!
After the feast, Gordon and Pork Chop's life returned to daily life again.
With the passing of winter and the end of the hunting ban that lasted for several months, the Hunters Guild has accumulated a large backlog of commissions that need to be resolved. Even a remote place like Kokot Village has received a lot of orders.
Although the vast majority are still one-star commissions.
Gordon, who was finally qualified to take on the two-star mission, directly pushed aside the pile of one-star missions without even bothering to look at them. He happily picked up the only two-star mission sheet.
The guild's classification of task difficulty is very mature and standardized. Even if it is only the lowest level of one star and two star, there is a clear difference.
One-star missions mainly focus on collecting settlement items such as specialty mushrooms, and defeating small monsters such as multiple blue velociraptors and large wild boars.
Starting from the second star, large monsters will be involved.
Although they are just "things that are not on the market" in the eyes of powerful hunters such as the Big Wild Boar King and the Blue Speed Dragon King, they are also a hurdle that all novice hunters must face.
If you cross it, you will have the possibility of going further. If you cannot cross it, you will have to live among mushrooms and raw meat for the rest of your life.
According to statistics from the Hunter Guild, at least one-third of registered hunters spend their entire lives wandering around on one-star missions.
Maybe they lack the courage to face large monsters, maybe they are not talented enough, maybe they are out of safety and family considerations, they have no intention of becoming stronger, let alone actively contact those dangerous large monsters, they just want a safe and stable life.
Some people despise these "gatherers", some sympathize with them, and some laugh at them, but no one can deny their contribution to human society.
Otherwise, who do you think has completed the massive one-star missions that exceed 60 to 70% of the total number of guild missions?
Of course, Gordon, who was thinking about "making money, becoming stronger, and hunting more powerful monsters" at this time, would not think about this. At this time, his eyes were already firmly attracted by the two-star task list.
To be precise, I was attracted by the string of numbers on the reward column.
