Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 426 Killing a bear with bare hands

"Prioritizing the search for victims actually has another purpose." Ancier continued.

"Another purpose?"

"The airship was shot down by Lan Long. Some of the information that the survivors paid attention to was not given time to feed back to the guild. Is it reasonable?

It's very possible that they made some additional discoveries during the time they were hiding around, right?

All in all, as long as the victims are found, there is a high probability that more information will be obtained, which is much more efficient than running around in Lanlong's lair like headless flies.

In the end, the most important thing is the issue of ‘bringing the news back’. As Hayata just said, if the intelligence is discovered but the person dies, what’s the difference between that and not discovering it?”

Gordon picked up a branch, broke it off and threw it into the bonfire, "Then let's do this. After setting off tomorrow, we will go straight to the south area of ​​the main peak of Lingfeng and use the cover of the mountain to search for the victims.

If the victim is dead and no more useful information can be obtained, we will look for a suitable observation point to hide, observe for a long time and from a long distance, and we should be able to collect some intelligence."

Alva was short and walked silently but quickly.

Suddenly, he heard some noise, so he immediately lay down and remained motionless.

Different from the "bush camouflage" that was inconvenient and a little silly a few days ago, under the guidance of the professor, the practicality of his current camouflage has been improved by several levels.

It was a khaki cloak, modified from the canvas Alva brought back from the wreckage of the airship.

It was dyed with mud and plant juices and wrapped around the body, looking like a rock covered with moss.

Similar stones are common around here, and as long as they remain still, they won't look out of place.

The movement disappeared, probably just some kind of small animal passing by.

Alva got up and continued moving forward. His goal for this trip was the berries in the forest.

There was still some food left in the airship wreckage, but the professor said that emergency food was crucial in the wilderness, so he had to find other substitutes.

In fact, he hoped to find some medicinal herbs more than food.

This magical plant is the main raw material for making recovery medicine. Eating it directly can also have a good healing effect. If you can find more of it, maybe the professor's injury can be slowly healed.

Of course he knows what medicinal herbs look like, but the Lingfeng Mountains is a strange place. It is obviously rich in natural resources, but not even a single medicinal herb can be found.

I don't know if it's just bad luck or some other reason.

Alva thought sadly in his heart.

Maybe it was because of the abundant rain? There were a lot of berries in the forest, and Alva also collected a lot of mushrooms and pine cones, all of which were confirmed to be edible.

He put them all into the book bag beside him.

Just when he was about to return, a buzzing sound came into his ears.

"bee?"

Alva looked around and soon discovered a huge beehive on the branch of a big tree.

"Honey."

Alva licked his lips.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but honey rich in nutrients was the best nutrition and might make the professor feel more energetic.

By the way, how to get honey? He has never tried it? If you try it directly, you will be bitten by bees. What about the smoke? But will the smoke column attract Lanlong?

While Alva was hesitating, deep in the forest, a bloated figure staggered towards him.

He trembled all over and his limbs became stiff.

Blue bear beast.

what to do.

Alva forced himself to calm down. The Green Bear had poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell. It probably hadn't noticed him yet at this distance. It would be easy to smell him if he hid. Now was the best chance to evacuate!

He began to back away slowly.

"Kacha."

With a crisp sound, half of the dry pine cone was trampled to pieces.

Alva and Green Bearmon paused at the same time.

It's over.

Alva's face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly he remembered that the green bear beast could run in the forest at a speed far faster than humans.

You can't escape by running, and you can't show your cowardice. The Green Bear is not a high-level predator, and there are even records of ordinary people scaring it away.

He suppressed his fear and tried to open his hands to make himself appear larger.

Then he yelled at the green bear beast that was rushing towards him.

"Ahhhh——!"

"Ouch!"

Green Bearmon felt offended and rushed faster.

At this time, Alva had no choice but to turn around and run wildly. He couldn't help shouting as if he was giving up on himself, "Didn't I say I could scare you away? Why weren't you scared at all?"

He kept turning left and right between the big trees, trying to distance himself in this way.

Unfortunately, the effect is not good. With the size of Green Bear Beast, it is not easily disturbed by the trees, and the distance between the two is constantly shortening.

Just when he was about to be overtaken by the green bear beast, a figure rushed towards him and blocked the giant green bear.

Perhaps because the distance was too close and inconvenient, or perhaps because he felt it was unnecessary, the visitor did not draw his weapon, but directly hit the iron mountain support, hitting the green bear beast in the face with his shoulder.

The protruding sharp teeth on the shoulder armor smashed into the green bear beast's flesh and blood, and it howled miserably and stopped.

However, the visitor did not intend to let it go so easily.

He stretched out his arms and clamped the Green Bear beast's neck, then clenched his fists and punched the Green Bear beast's head and face several times until the Green Bear beast's howl turned into a whimper, and then he relaxed.

Opened his hand.

The Green Bear held its short tail between its legs and fled quickly.

Alva stared at this scene blankly, his mind a little confused.

This man just beat Blue Bearmon away with his fist?

"Huh——, it feels a little good."

The man took off his helmet with his blood-stained gauntlets, revealing a face that was quite familiar to Alva.

"Brother Gordon?"

"As expected, it's you, Alva." Gordon didn't say anything like "what a coincidence".

Rather, he had some guesses about the identity of the airship victims from the very beginning - as witnesses of the Lan Long incident that year, the professor and Alva were the most suitable candidates to detect the Lan Long.

Hayata, Ansir Pork Chops and others also ran over.

"Is everything okay, meow? Are you hurt, meow?" Xianglan ran to Alva's side and patted her.

"I'm fine."

Alva, who had once again narrowly escaped death, was still trembling when he spoke. His mind was a little knotted, and he stuttered and asked a somewhat inappropriate question, "So, why... with fists?"

"Well," Gordon gestured with his arms, trying to explain, "it's just, do you understand the distance? At that distance, it's not very convenient to pull out a big sword."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, meow."

Pork Chop exposed Gordon's lies mercilessly, "You can understand that he has some problems with his brain recently and needs to get used to it for a while."

"Senior Gordon, you are too messy." Hayata couldn't help complaining.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Gordon felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject, "This is Lanlong's lair, but it can't be said to be safe.

Alva, is there a suitable hiding place? We need to hide first and then we can discuss what to do next."

"Yes! The professor and I found a good place, come with me!"
