Gordon came to the counter and said hello to the two waitresses.
"Miss Hana, Miss Sasayu, please show us the hunting missions for four and five stars."
"Hi hi~!"
"Okay, Mr. Gordon."
After the two laid out the task documents, Gordon was a little surprised and said: "That's all?"
On the reception counter, you can count the number of documents on one hand. Previously, there were more than ten four-star tasks.
"Yes."
Sasayu bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Manager canceled many tasks yesterday, and the remaining ones are either very close to the village and highly aggressive, or they cause great damage to the ecological environment.
Missions that affected the safety of trade routes and interfered with timber harvesting were basically put on hold and replaced by a large number of exploration missions. "
Gordon and the others exchanged glances.
The efficiency of the old management man is really high.
Doing so will undoubtedly affect the current production, life and economic development of Jieyun Village, but in the long run, it is worth it.
Gordon focused his attention on the two five-star mission documents.
There are still people in Jieyun Village who can complete the four-star mission, but if it is a five-star mission, they are the only ones who have the strength to take it.
Hayata and Anhir also came over to watch.
The hunting requirements of a single document are that the subspecies of colorful bird and the colorful bird are in the same place. The two colorful birds may be partners and often appear together.
Because they are good at and like to imitate the sounds of other monsters, they mess up the distribution of monsters in a large area around them, and they seem to enjoy it.
Therefore, the management of the conference believes that it is better to deal with these two guys as soon as possible.
An Xir and Feng Ying were familiar with the hunting target of the other document - the purple water beast.
Because they secrete venom all the time and are very hydrophilic amphibians, the ecology of the stream basin near Jieyun Village has been severely damaged.
There have even been cases where people collecting water downstream were poisoned. In terms of urgency, it was higher than the previous task.
Gordon looked at his companions, "I think it's okay, the task difficulty isn't too high for us.
The one in the front needs to be careful of the colorful birds calling the surrounding monsters, while the one with the purple water beast needs to be careful not to get poisoned.
What do you think?”
"Choose the purple water beast." An Xil and Feng Ying said in unison.
"Well, what grudge do you have against it?"
Anhir explained with a smile, "I don't have any grudge against it, we just fought once a few weeks ago and saved Mr. Nagashi at the same time.
But Feng Ying has a grudge. When you set out to hunt the fire dragon, she also went out to hunt the poisonous dog dragon. As a result, the mission failed because of the intrusion of the purple water beast. "
"That rotten banana!" Feng Ying said angrily.
"Hayata have any ideas?"
"Of course I want to avenge Xiao Fengying!" Hayata said with a chuckle.
"Since you all say so, let's go with the purple water beast."
Gordon picked up the mission slip and said, "Miss Huahua, please help us register the mission."
——
Hunting Mission: Purple Venom-Drenched Stream (★★★★★)
Mission content: Hunting the purple water beast
Remuneration: 12,000 gold
Mission location: stream
Possible monsters: Dog Dragon, Dog Dragon King, Big Wild Boar, Green Bear Beast
Limited time: 7 days
The manager of the gathering place: Purple Water Beast, a subspecies of water beast, wanders around, secreting venom that pollutes streams and ponds, causing the death of a large number of fish and shrimps.
If this continues, the ecology of nearby waters will be destroyed. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Notice! The poison of the purple water beast is not trivial, so be sure to bring a sufficient amount of antidote.
——
The purple water beast may not be able to give hunters an unspeakable sense of tension like the booming dragon.
But the purple venom that was enough to pollute the river also pushed it to the five-star danger level, a full two stars higher than the original species of ordinary water beast.
In order to ensure the safety of hunting, hunters have made sufficient preparations.
Not to mention the most critical antidote, even the expensive Kampo medicine, each person brought two of them.
This is also thanks to the preparations of Anxier's sister Jiesijia. Otherwise, given the current semi-closed situation in Jieyun Village, it would not be easy to purchase these precious medicines in large quantities.
The purple water beast's weak attribute is fire, so Ancil naturally carries a large number of fire bombs.
At this point, the benefits of having more than one person in the team are revealed - at least they can help carry more ammunition.
Gordon's Fire Dragon Sword is also very suitable for hunting purple water beasts, but this time he brought the big sword [Wang Hu].
According to the mother-in-law of the craftsman in Bokai Village, this big sword is amazingly powerful, but not easy to control. Gordon plans to take this opportunity to practice it. After all, there is a big difference between actual combat and sword target cutting.
After walking all the way, around noon, they arrived at the target hunting ground.
Seeing that it was still early, they didn't stay in the camp for long. They finally checked the equipment and supplies and set off directly to start hunting.
After entering an area frequented by monsters, the entire team became vigilant.
Pork Chop Pandan rides Amber and heads out hundreds of meters to conduct reconnaissance.
The relationship between the two cats and the dog is quite good, and they always act together as if they have become one.
Hayata walked at the front of the team, and Gordon was at the end of the team. These two positions are the most dangerous, and are often occupied by the stronger swordsmen in the team.
As a shooter, Ancier is located in the center of the team. He has the best eyesight and is also responsible for guarding the surrounding areas, ready to support shooting at any time.
As a shield and ax user, Feng Ying was supposed to be the vanguard, but Gordon pointed her to An Xier and asked her to "protect" the latter.
In fact, even she herself knew that she was the one being protected.
Pork chop and the others came back.
Gordon noticed that their emotions seemed a little wrong, "What, have you found any traces of monsters?"
Zhupa scratched his ears twice, "It's Meow, but the situation is not very good Meow. Everyone will know Meow when they see it."
Gordon and his party quickened their pace slightly.
A few minutes later, Gordon and the others were speechless as they looked at the desolate scene in front of them.
"Why is this?" Feng Ying said sadly.
This is a small pond, with an area of only a few hundred square meters. The groundwater and gurgling trickles give the pond plenty of water.
There is a bamboo forest beside the pond, and unknown aquatic plants spread on the surface of the pond. This should be a beautiful and vibrant scene with lush water plants.
Now it seems particularly deserted.
The originally clear water was an ominous light lavender color, and countless fish and shrimps that had begun to rot were floating on the water, exuding a strong stench.
The plants in the water and the bamboo forests on the shore have also turned yellow.
I don’t know how long it will take before it can return to its original state.
"No wonder the guild emphasizes on getting rid of this guy." Gordon sighed and squatted down at a position by the pond.
There are traces of webbed feet crawling and giant objects dragging on the soft mud. In the depressions in the mud, there are still some purple-black substances remaining, which should be dried venom.
“Once this kind of monster leaves the habitat that can adapt to accommodate their existence, it will cause ecological disaster wherever it goes.
It may have no intention of causing all this, but it just felt that the sun was too strong, so it crawled into the pond and took a bath.
However, for the pond itself, and for the creatures that depend on this pond, it is a disaster. "
