Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 394 Mr. Shancai

Ted somehow got into a fight with Babaka.

One person and one Qimian clan went into the water one after another and caught several big fish.

Hayata lit up the bonfire, and Pork Chop grilled the fish.

Gordon invited the old dragon man who called himself Grandpa Shancai to enjoy it with him. The old dragon man was not polite and ate a lot.

After a hearty meal, the old dragon man patted his belly and said,

"I'm full, I'm full. Well, I can't eat your food for free. I'll give you some gadgets!"

Just when Gordon and the others were about to refuse, Grandpa Shancai had already taken out several items from the backpack on his back and stuffed them into the hands of the hunters.

Gordon got the Ghost Pill, Hayata got the secret medicine, Ted got the Iron Pickaxe G, and Maka got a mask fragment, which is said to be the legacy of the King of the Strange Face Tribe.

Everyone was shocked. Although these things could not be called "treasures", they were still very expensive props. It would be too arrogant to exchange them for a meal of grilled fish.

The hunters were about to refuse, but the old dragon man waved his hand, "Hey, you're welcome, the props are just for use, so use them well!"

Grandpa Shancai stood up from the campfire, "After eating and drinking, it's time to go. Young people, let's see you again when we are destined!"

After saying that, the old dragon man strode out of the camp with his cane.

"Hmm, that's right."

Grandpa Shancai, who was walking to the entrance of the camp, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Gordon, "Some things will attract unnecessary attention to you."

"Ah? What?" Gordon was a little confused.

Just when I was about to ask, the old dragon man had already walked out of the camp.

A gust of wind blew, and the snow dust rolled up blurred his back. When the gust of wind and snow dispersed, Grandpa Shancai's figure had long since disappeared.

The hunters looked at each other.

"What a mysterious old man." Hayata looked at the secret medicine in his hand and handed it to Pandan.

As a healing cat, secret medicine can often play a greater role in its hands.

Ted hung the iron pick G behind his back, preparing to strike with the pick a few times if he encountered a vein of minerals later.

Gordon also carefully put away the ghost pill. This magical pill has similar ingredients to the ghost pill. It has a stronger effect than the ghost pill and is also very convenient to take. The only flaw is that the effect lasts shorter.

.

As for the fragment that Maka got, it was more for Babaka than for her.

Watch Babaka carefully attach the fragment to its mask, and then jump up and down happily.

Maka felt that the one she got was the best of the four gifts.

Let’s forget about the mysterious old dragon man Shancai Grandpa for now.

Gordon looked up at the sky.

Seeing that the sun had not even reached its zenith at this time and it was still very early, he said: "Our stomachs are also full. Let's carefully check the equipment and props and prepare to set off."

After everyone heard this, they immediately checked their equipment and luggage.

Activities in areas with extremely harsh natural environments such as permafrost, volcanoes, and deserts often require more adequate preparation.

Food, suitable clothing, and hot and cold drinks to maintain normal body temperature are all essential. Otherwise, you may freeze to death or heat to death without encountering dangerous monsters.

It's not like a place like a stream, where you can strip a hunter naked and throw him over there, and he'll come back fat.

Antidotes and emergency Kampo medicines were put into the prop bag.

These are also necessary preparations. From the name of "Poison Monster Dragon", we can see what this monster's best attack method is.

Then there is the portable barbecue grill.

During serious hunting, hunters generally do not bring this thing.

After all, no matter how portable it is, it still weighs a few kilograms.

When hunting large and dangerous monsters, you have to be careful about whether to bring more bottles or less bottles of recovery medicine. Carrying this thing is just a burden.

But this time.

Gordon, it does something special.

After checking the equipment and props and adjusting the conditions, Gordon called his friends to sit around and took out the map and mission documents.

——

Collection mission: Can it be eaten? (★★★)

Mission content: Deliver two poisonous dragon cubs.

Remuneration:1000z

Mission location: frozen soil

Possible monsters: Sleeping Dog Dragon, White Rabbit Beast, Poison Monster Dragon

Limited time: 15 days

The beautiful young village chief: Well, in short, how many are you bringing back to try?

——

"Although it's just a three-star collection mission, isn't the reward amount a bit small?" Maka pouted.

Gordon said helplessly: "After all, it is a task we requested unilaterally. Rather, I am surprised that the village chief lady did not set the remuneration as a symbolic 1z."

"Too."

"Speaking of which, how should we take the poisonous dragon cub back? Just carry it alive?" Ted asked.

Hayata thought for a while and suggested: "Perhaps we can, um, deal with it first, preserve it in ice and snow, and take it back chilled?"

"Be prepared, meow!"

Pig Chop jumped out and said: "I have brought a lot of tranquilizer balls for capturing meow. Although to deal with large monsters, it needs to be coordinated with traps to be effective, meow.

But if it’s just a newborn cub, it should be able to roll over easily?”

Gordon was not sure either. He scratched his chin and said, "It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, we'll get something chilled. Let's take a look at the map first."

Gordon spread the map in front of his companions.

"The poison dragon doesn't like light, so it usually moves in dark caves. This is consistent with the information I heard from the hunters in Jieyun Village.

They recommended these two caves to me." Gordon pointed to two locations on the map, "According to them, the probability of encountering the poisonous dragon in these two places is very high.

Also, the poisonous dragon likes to lie on the roof of the cave, so after entering the cave, we must spread our sights in all directions to avoid being attacked by surprise.

Ellu and the Strange-Faced Clan have better vision in dark environments, so you guys, Pigba, pay more attention to the dark places."

"I understand."

"My eyesight is super good, meow!"

"Click it!"

Gordon nodded and continued: "The danger level of the poison dragon is four stars, although it can only be regarded as the bottom among four-star monsters, and its ecological niche is much lower than that of large flying dragons such as fire dragons.

However, due to its dangerous characteristics such as its strong poison and latent sneak attacks, many hunters have been killed. Everyone must be careful not to underestimate the enemy."

"OK."

"I am full of confidence!"

"understood!"

Companions responded one after another.

Not to mention that the goal of their trip was not to hunt the Poison Dragon, even if it were, a monster of the same level as the Poison Dragon would hardly pose a threat to this team.

"Let's talk about tactics. Actually, there are no tactics. In a nutshell - we force the poison dragon to give birth to its cubs by taking the initiative to attack.

It is said that the cubs will crawl on hunters immediately after hatching, bite them and suck their blood. We took advantage of this.

Brother Ted, you are the bait. Those cubs can’t bite through that thing on you anyway, so just let them lay on you and sting you.”

Ted: "?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you and we'll both get stung together."

"That's pretty much it!"
