Gordon also liked Yamos's gift, which was a pair of portable telescopes.
"Observe and think. When hunting, you rely not only on your muscles, but also on your brain. Don't forget it." Yamos said with a smile as he watched Gordon hang the small telescope around his neck.
"I'll remember it, thank you, Senior Yamos, I like it very much!"
Pork Chop gave me a bone flute that was only the size of a finger and had a very unique shape. When played, it would make a clear and clear cry that was indistinguishable from that of a tit.
After rubbing Pork Chop's little head vigorously, Gordon smiled happily and said, "You are very skillful with your hands! Pork Chop!"
Hayata's gift seemed inconspicuous. It was a string woven by herself, mixed with thin metal wires. It was beautiful and strong, and it was just right for hanging exotic ancient coins.
This gift made Urshula's eyes turn red with envy. In her eyes, this was simply the most powerful transit jewelry!
"Beautiful! Thanks Hayata!"
Gordon immediately replaced the animal sinew rope originally used to hang the exotic ancient coins, and then held the re-threaded ancient coins in front of Hayata, looked at the latter expectantly, and said: "Help me put on another one." Buff it, Hayata!”
"Buff?" Hayata's face was full of question marks.
"It's similar to the buff state of a hunting whistle, the kind that adds luck!"
"What, how do you get there?" Hayata also understood that Gordon was engaging in superstitious activities.
"Sing a hymn? Do a prayer dance?" Urshula, who believed in this the most, couldn't help but come over and suggested: "Or blow some fairy spirit or something?"
The first two plans were too difficult, and only the last one was simpler. Hayata leaned towards Gordon's hand with a blushing face, lifted her hair from her ears, and blew lightly on the ancient coins.
The palms of his hands were itchy, but Gordon didn't notice the charm. He just put the "lucky +1" ancient coin back on his chest with a silly smile, and patted it with satisfaction.
Urshula, who saw it with sour teeth, almost couldn't help but grab it.
After a feast of endless eating, the birthday party finally entered the final stage, eating cake.
The huge cake, which looks so delicious, is said to be the result of the joint efforts of two shop girls, Tiggy and Madge.
——The soft and tender cake base, the smooth cream, and the exquisite and beautiful decorations are all the work of "reliable senior" Madge, and "lazy vase" Tiggy was responsible for writing a sentence on the top of the cake like a dog crawling " Happy birthday Gordon!".
Candles, make wishes, cut the cake.
Following a burst of not so neat, but sincere and warm enough "Happy Birthday!"
Gordon is eighteen years old.
Shuretson Hill, southeastern hunting ground, hunter’s camp.
Gordon checked the carrying condition of the props and the sharpness of the "giant shears" one last time, and then carefully tightened the straps of the "refined ore suit".
After confirming that he was fully prepared, he waved to Pork Chop, "Let's go, Pork Chop, this time we are serious!"
"Meow!"
Nearly a year has passed since I arrived at Minagard.
During this year, Gordon spent at least 70% to 80% of his time either in the hunting grounds or on the way to and from the hunting grounds. He finally accumulated a sufficient number of two-star missions.
He has also teamed up with Oshula, Ted, and several other familiar hunters many times. Three-star monsters such as the Peach-haired Beast King, the Daiming Shield Crab, the Sleeping Bird, the Water Beast, and the Beaver Beast have also teamed up with him many times. Quite a few successful hunts.
In the eyes of those who are familiar with Gordon, the only difference between him and a real three-star hunter is the half star missing on the cover of the hunter's notebook.
And this time, he finally applied for the promotion he had dreamed of.
——
Hunting Mission (Emergency Mission): Orange Shadow (★★★)
Mission content: Hunting the big strange bird
Remuneration: 8000z
Mission location: Xiuretsen Hill
Possible monsters: Blue Velociraptor, Big Wild Boar, Strange Face Tribe
Limited time: 7 days
Observer of the Wang Li Paleontology Scribes Team: A restless big strange bird left its original territory and came to the southeastern foot of Xiuretsen Hill. Under its hunting range, passing pedestrians, caravans, and even villages would being threatened.
Please hunt it before it causes more damage.
——
Due to the difficulty of hunting, Gordon chose to accept this task as a promotion task to be promoted to a three-star hunter. It was actually a very unwise decision.
In terms of combat power alone, the Big Strange Bird is on the same level as large monsters such as the Daimyo Shield Crab. However, the former's excellent flying ability makes this bird-dragon monster, known as the "teacher", much more difficult to deal with.
According to Miles, the easiest weapon to deal with the big strange bird is actually a light crossbow.
As long as you carry as many armor-piercing grenades as possible and shoot at the head, you can easily severely damage it. If the big strange bird happens to be taking off, you can even shoot it down directly, creating a huge vulnerability.
In comparison, swordsmen like Gordon are at a disadvantage.
The long and powerful legs make it difficult for the swordsmen's weapons to reach the soft fleshy chest and abdomen of the big strange bird. The wings that frequently flap can not only create wind pressure that makes the hunters unsteady, but also make them more vulnerable to blows. Easily repel approaching hunters.
Once they flew up, the swordsmen who had no long-range attack methods could only stare. It could be said that they were passive everywhere.
There are many reasons to avoid this task.
Gordon could wait a few more days, choose a three-star monster with hunting experience as a target, such as the Peach-haired Beast King, and then easily complete the promotion.
However, when he saw the words "Big Strange Bird" marked in the hunting target column, he still resolutely accepted the emergency mission document.
the reason is simple.
Promoting to a three-star hunter has never been his goal, not even a short-term goal.
What he wants is to become stronger.
So what if it can fly, what if it is among the most tricky among three-star monsters? Isn't it just a "little flying dragon"?
Compared to when I first came to Minagard last year, I have become much stronger. If I see "Teacher Yangkuku" and are timid and worried about failing the promotion mission, then there is no need to talk about hunting the "King of the Sky"?
"Our giant scissors are already so horny!"
The sun is about to reach its zenith, and the late spring noon sunshine already has some power.
At the river beach, Gordon took a few sips of river water and washed his face. He suddenly felt much cooler. After filling the water bag, he hung it back on his waist. He stood up and looked around carefully.
The rainfall in recent weeks has been so frequent that it has been exaggerated. There is abundant water in the river, and the soil on the beach is very soft. A large number of small river crabs, snails and earthworms have left soil bags all over the river beach, and the growth of aquatic plants and moss has also changed. Pretty good.
This is all very valuable information.
Fish, shrimps, crabs, river snails and earthworms are all the birds' favorite foods. When the target activity area cannot be determined, it is a good choice to look for clues along the feeding places and water sources that the birds love.
"Pork chop, let's look carefully!"
The hunter and the cat searched along the river beach for a long time, but unfortunately there was no harvest. Perhaps because of the heavy rain last night, there were no noteworthy footprints left on the river beach.
A breeze blew.
Pork Chop, which was lying on the ground searching carefully, suddenly stood up. It sniffed and carefully identified the faint smell that was drifting in the wind.
"What did you find?"
"It's the smell of rotting corpses, nya!"
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
