Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 393 I have always been upright

When Feng Ying watched Maka "take over" her position and follow Ted and the others onto the airship.

The expression is confused.

She thought for two seconds, then looked at An Xil, who had also come to see her off, with a sudden realization, "So this is your plan to send me away?"

However, what Feng Ying didn't expect was that An Xier also had a look of astonishment.

He began to think to himself, "So this is Ted's plan to insist on going?"

On the airship.

Gordon and Hayata exchanged glances, and the two of them knew that Ted had a crush on Maka.

The day after the alcohol team arrived in Yuyun Village, Oshula and the others complained that Ted's invitation to Maka was "unfair."

Maka knew that Hayata had a crush on Gordon. It was impossible for girls not to talk about this when they chatted. She came here with the intention of causing some trouble.

The one with the most subtle emotions was Ted.

I have always been upright, so how come this time I feel like I am benefiting myself at the expense of others?

After being single for thirty years, my brain struggled for a few seconds and decided to give up thinking and not do anything unnecessary.

I’m just here to look for delicious food!

"Poison monster dragon cub! I'm here!" An excited roar came from the airship that was gradually rising into the sky.

Ancil glanced at Urshula, who had grabbed the ice crystal crossbow and looked frantic as if she wanted to knock Ted down, and sighed.

"I'm overthinking it."

The target permafrost area is located in the middle of the Western Continent, on the other side of the giant mountain range that runs through the entire continent.

Because the mountains block the cold wave from the western sea, the stream area on the mountain side is as warm as spring all year round, and the place where the cold wave stops is the frozen soil.

It feels really cool to have a "private airship" for transportation.

In addition, the weather conditions were suitable, so the airship landed directly in a sheltered area near the hunter's camp.

This "jumping feeling" as if you have left the village and arrived at the camp in the blink of an eye, it is really great!

Maka, who jumped off the airship, patted the outer panel of the pod hard and said with emotion: "I've decided, my dream is to save enough money to buy an airship!

Whichever hunting ground you want to go to then, you can go there in a ‘swoosh’, and you no longer have to walk, take a car or a boat, or buy a ticket and wait in line for a flight!”

Ted rubbed his unshaven chin, raised his head and asked the operators who were fixing the airship, "By the way, how much does such an airship cost?"

The pilot gave a number, and then said with a smile: "The money spent on purchasing an airship is not actually the bulk of the cost. Daily maintenance, parking, fuel costs, and hiring crew members are the main expenses."

"I'm sorry. I was the one who offended. That was a dream I didn't deserve." Maka covered her face and said.

"Kabacha" Babaka patted her knee to express comfort.

Hayata came over with several cold-proof cloaks and gave one to each of his companions. "Put them all on. It's quite cold. I'm used to the climate over the stream, but I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. I catch cold easily."

"Put on more of your cloak, I won't need it." Ted threw his cloak to Maka.

"ah?"

Ted patted the steel wall-like armor on his body and said, "It's mainly because I can't put it on."

Maka hesitated for a few seconds and finally put on two layers.

The anti-cold effect of Thunder Wolf Dragon's armor was indeed so bad that it was almost crazy, especially the "key protection" design, which would freeze her to death.

Hayata glanced at Gordon.

Gordon, who was holding his own cloak, froze, "Uh, how about you wear an extra one?"

"Hehe, I'm just kidding, no need~." Hayata refused with a smile.

After leaving the airship, the group first entered the hunter camp.

This camp is located on the bank of a large river, backed by a steep hillside, and in front of it is a large, unfrozen glacier river with abundant water.

If a monster wants to invade the camp, it will easily fall into the glacier, so there are very few monsters coming, so it is relatively safe.

The reason why I say "relatively".

This kind of open-air campsite never gives people a good sense of security.

"There are still many fish in the river!"

Ted, who ran to the river and watched for a while, ran back and said excitedly: "Why don't we get some grilled fish to eat first to fill our stomachs?

I’m already sick of bringing food with me!”

"Okay!" There was no need to hesitate, Gordon agreed immediately.

"Eat first before talking!"

This trip was not a serious hunting mission at all. It might be more appropriate to call it a tourist trip. It was supposed to be a way to relax from the high-intensity continuous hunting in the past period.

"There seems to be a fishing rod on the airship. I'll go get it!"

Just as Hayata was about to run to the airship, Babaka suddenly jumped up, "Bacha Kaku! Babaka Baka!"

Hayata was confused, and the Strange Face language was still too difficult for her to understand. She asked Maka: "What did Babaka say?"

"It said no fishing rod is needed, it depends on it." Maka replied casually.

Unlike Feng Ying's communication method of making gestures and guessing, she really knows the Qimian language.

Pandan, who has a strong desire to win, also stumbled and exchanged a few words with Babaka, and then said to Hayata as if to take credit: "Babakar also said that he would go into the water to catch fish!"

"It's cold weather. Are you going to catch fish in the water?"

Ted was stunned and looked at Maka, "Aren't the Strangemen weak to ice? Isn't this little guy stupid from the cold?"

"You're so stupid!" Maka glared at Ted and chose to defend Babaka without hesitation.

As if to prove that he was not afraid of the cold, Babaka jumped directly into the glacier.

Pig Chop carefully put his paw into the water and immediately retracted it, "I'm freezing to death, meow!"

Maka couldn't help but become worried.

The strange-faced people generally have good water properties, but it is also true that ice is weak. The broken ice on the surface of the water made it difficult for her to see what was going on in the water. Just when she was about to jump in to see for herself.

An old voice came from behind the hunters.

"It's okay, that little guy will be out soon."

This scared Goosebumps out of Gordon and the others. Everyone turned around and saw an inconspicuous old dragon man, who had been standing there for some time.

Like most of the older dragon tribesmen, he was short in stature, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and the gray cloth traveling clothes he wore was slightly worn. He seemed to have been in the wild for a long time.

The wrinkled skin was red and red. I don’t know if it was born this way or if it was blown by the cold wind of the frozen soil.

With a "swish" sound from the water, Babaka jumped onto the shore.

It held a fish larger than itself in its arms. The big fish twisted around desperately and knocked it to the ground. Maka and the others quickly ran over to help.

Gordon never took his eyes away from the old dragon man.

No matter whether the old dragon man had been here all along or he just came over after they arrived at the camp.

To be able to hide the perception of several of their hunters and even two hunting cats, the old man was anything but ordinary.

It's always good to be polite.

"Hello, old man, I am Gordon, as you can see I am a hunter."

"Hmm."

The old man's deep groan reminded Gordon of a certain old guy who was called a "hero".

"Young man, you have a familiar smell on your body. It seems to be the smell of Xiuret City."

You can smell this?!

Gordon was stunned, then nodded and replied: "You are so awesome. I am indeed from the Xiuret area, Kokot Village."

"Is this so?" the old man muttered in a low voice.

"Well, I forgot to introduce myself, you can just call me Grandpa Shancai."
