The old dragon man pointed to a mission document, "Explosive hammer dragons only appear in volcanic areas. There is one over there in the lava cave. The trouble is, there are recent records of concubine spiders and armored dragons appearing in the nearby area."
"The armor dragon and the blaster dragon have a five-star danger level, and the concubine spider seems to have a six-star danger level?"
"Um."
The manager of the gathering nodded and said: "The concubine spider has extremely tenacious vitality and extremely strong reproductive capacity. It can give birth to baby 'Chen Spider' at any time to participate in the battle. It can spit flames and move quickly through silk threads. It is very tricky."
The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched fiercely, "Two five-star monsters and one six-star monster are getting together. Do you want to have a meeting?"
The management of the assembly hall said helplessly: "The environment of the lava cave is harsh, and there are only so many areas that are relatively suitable for survival, so the distribution of large monsters is relatively concentrated."
Hilda said: "It seems that Gordon and I must go over to the volcano, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
"Don't worry, the trouble doesn't stop there."
The assembly manager pointed at the mission documents and said, "There is only one airship in Jieyun Village, the one belonging to the Sterling Chamber of Commerce. The lava cave is a long way away and you have to take an airship to get there.
The person responsible for hunting the fire dragon can only take the land route, so the target selection cannot be too far away.
However, due to the previous disaster of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, the fire dragons within a week's distance from the village were either hunted or migrated away. "
"All gone?!"
An Xil asked in surprise: "At the end of last year, Feng Ying and I met a female fire dragon on the way to Jieyun Village with the caravan."
"Well, they're all gone. The one you mentioned also migrated later."
The old dragon man sighed: "The Thunder Wolf Dragon disaster has had a greater impact on the distribution of large monsters throughout the northern part of the Western Continent than we had initially expected."
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
When they first came to Jieyun Village, they hunted a pair of male and female fire dragons. Since there was no need, they didn't bother to break open the bones and extract the marrow.
"The only exception is a Sakura Fire Dragon. Perhaps because it is powerful and far enough away from the Spirit Peak, it was not affected by the Thunder Wolf Dragon disaster.
Its nest is in the mountains and forests about 200 kilometers south of Yuyun Village. If you take a Marutori train, it takes about three or four days one way. "
"Sakura Fire Dragon, he is indeed a troublesome opponent."
"There's also the Red-Pocketed Blue Bear Beast." Hilda picked out the two mission sheets for the Sakura Fire Dragon and the Boomer Dragon, and sighed: "We can't just leave this guy alone."
The old administrator looked at her gratefully.
"And my suggestion is that the Red-Pocketed Green Bear Beast can best be handled by a high-level hunter. Although the size of that guy is not too exaggerated, but..."
"The fighting skills are amazing." Gordon finished what Hilda wanted to say, "Strength, the hardness of the carapace and fur, these are secondary.
The main reason is that that guy's combat experience and movement speed are not at the same level as ordinary Green Bear beasts. It feels like the difference between ordinary people and hunters. "
"That's right."
"So, meow, Gordon and Aunt Hilda have to deal with the Red-Pocketed Green Bearmon and the Boomerosaurus respectively, meow."
"What did you call me?" Hilda caught the pork chop and rubbed it hard.
"Instructor Hilda, meow."
"I'll go to the volcano." Hilda let go of the pork chop, thought about it carefully and said: "The task of hunting the Boomer Dragon is not difficult in itself, but I am afraid that the Fei Spider and the Armored Dragon will get in.
These three types of monsters are all relatively large, so the Dragon Arrow I am used to is more advantageous. "
"Then I'll deal with Red Kabuto, Hilda-senpai hunts the Blaster Dragon, and Ancil and Hayata hunt the Sakura Fire Dragon?"
"No." Anhil shook his head and said: "Instructor Hilda, the arrows of the Dragon Arrow are huge and heavy, and you can't carry a few with you.
And whether it is a blaster dragon, an armored dragon, or a concubine spider, their vitality is very tenacious. It is just one blaster dragon. If the other two get in, your arrows may not be enough. "
Hilda was silent.
What Ancier said is true. It has nothing to do with strength. The ability to continue fighting has always been the flaw of the bow hunter.
The arrows used by bow hunters are different from ordinary bows and arrows. They are thick and heavy, similar to short spears. Otherwise, they cannot cause enough damage to large monsters.
In addition, the bowhunter pursues agility, which results in the bowhunter's ability to carry ammunition being worse than the light and heavy crossbow users.
"Hayata and I are both five-star hunters. We should be cautious. It should be possible to hunt the Sakura Fire Dragon alone, so my suggestion is that one of us will help you, and the other one will hunt the Sakura Fire Dragon alone. "
Hilda's eyes stayed on Ansir and Hayata for a long time.
She had to admit that Ancil had a point.
Fighting head-on with monsters, especially large, thick-skinned monsters such as the Boomer Dragon, Concubine Spider, and Armored Dragon, was not her forte.
From her good use of dragon arrows and her choice of armor, it can be seen that her strengths are stealthy operations, waiting for the opportunity to hit hard, or even sniper directly.
But she didn't want to transfer her own pressure to these young people.
Especially Hayata, who is about to turn twenty and is about the same age as her daughter, is still a child in her eyes.
"Leave Sakura Fire Dragon to me."
Hayata saw through Hilda's thoughts, and so did her master Yamos, who always treated her as a child.
"It is said that using the materials of the Sakura Fire Dragon, the Flying Dragon Sword [Aoi] can be strengthened into the Flying Dragon Sword [Sakura]. I have always wanted to hunt one.
I don't want to let go of such a rare opportunity. Hayata said with a smile.
"Yes." Anhil nodded and said, "Then I will go and help instructor Hilda."
"You kids." Hilda breathed lightly and pretended to be angry: "I haven't agreed yet, why have I decided like this?"
Gordon also said from the side: "Senior Hilda, the purpose of this trip to the lava cave is not only to hunt the Explosive Hammer Dragon, but also to collect as much Explosive Hammer Dragon marrow and gunpowder rocks as possible.
By the way, there is also dragon-killing fruit. I remember that kind of fruit is more common in volcanic areas?
There are so many things that you can't handle on your own. "
An Xil's face suddenly became a little stiff, "You reminded me, I can say more, carrying gunpowder rock is a strenuous job.
There is also bone marrow extraction. I don’t know if the knife can be used to cut the bones of the blaster dragon. Gordon, why don’t you and Instructor Hilda switch? "
"No, you haven't dealt with a concubine spider before, that kind of monster is too dangerous for first timers.
If three large monsters really get together, Gordon will be embarrassed as a swordsman. I still have to go to the volcano.
As for extracting bone marrow, carrying gunpowder rocks and collecting dragon-killing fruits
Take your time, I'm not old enough yet to have trouble with my legs and feet.
And little Ancier, don't always make us shooters seem to be weak, what's wrong with carrying gunpowder rocks? You, a young man in your twenties, still can’t move a stone? ” Hilda began to preach.
Anhir had no choice but to accept the education.
"Actually, I don't think it should be like this."
Gordon rubbed his chin and said, "Why don't you bring Feng Ying with you? Let her do the hard work and chores like carrying gunpowder rocks and looking for dragon-killing fruits. She has a toothed hound, so it's convenient for her to run around."
That guy can also help when it comes to skinning the blaster dragon to extract its marrow. He's a shield and axeer after all, so he can always cut it open. "
"Wouldn't it be better for her to participate in this kind of mission?" Hayata hesitated.
"It doesn't matter!" Gordon waved his hand, "I won't take her to Lingfeng, so just don't tell her what you shouldn't tell her.
The mission of hunting the Explosive Hammer Dragon was only five-star, so she was just able to participate.
She was already a mature three-star hunter, and it was time to learn to participate in some difficult tasks. "
"Your master also acts like a ghost."
