Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 533: Dragon Piercing Stick

Gordon felt that Pork Chop went to learn the art of animal transformation without consulting him.

It feels good.

Pork Chop is no longer the rookie hunting cat that was scared away by the ferocious look of the blacksmith uncle when he first came to Kokot Village. Now his strength even surpasses that of most hunters.

However, the road of Bolt Cat with Bolt Bomb as its core has an end.

Unless you give up your identity as a hunting cat and become a researcher like a master craftsman, you can concentrate on developing explosive bombs with new structures and more powerful explosive formulas.

But it doesn’t want that!

When the long board cannot continue to grow, improving the short board is the best way to improve strength.

Cure cats? Fighting cats?

I was not torn between the two, pork chop, and decisively chose the latter.

It just so happens that among the hunting cats in Bernard Village, there is a magical technique known as "The Art of Beast Transformation" that can improve the combat power of fighting cats in a short period of time.

Learn from it!

More than a week has passed since the last time I hunted the giant beast and returned from Bokai Village.

After learning the new moves, Gordon and Pork Chop were a little itchy. After a few brief discussions, they decided to take on a somewhat difficult but not so dangerous mission to get used to it in actual combat.

They ran to the task counter of Ryūliyuan, and with the help of the researcher who worked part-time as a receptionist, one person and one cat chose a task that was moderately difficult for them.

——

Hunting Mission: Searing Blade (★★★★★)

Mission content: Hunting and slaying dragons

Remuneration: 25,000 gold

Mission location: Ancient Forest

Possible monsters: big strange bird, jumping dog dragon, big wild boar

Limited time: 10 days

The village chief of Bernard Village: I heard that the terrifying Dragon-Zhanping appeared again in the ancient forest. The Ryuuriin investigation team was attacked and suffered huge losses. Hunters, hurry up and hunt that Dragon-Zhanking!

——

The ancient forest has a warm climate and rich resources, so the preparation before hunting is not complicated.

After receiving the mission, Gordon and Pork Chop checked the equipment, packed the necessary supplies and hunting props, and set off in the airship.

The entire journey was silent.

One day later, the small airship landed near the hunter's camp. After greeting the pilot of the airship and the flight attendant Ellu, Gordon and Pork Chop jumped off the airship and walked to the camp.

They had been to this camp two months ago, and their encounter with the three members of the crossover team was nearby.

Considering the number of large monsters of Zhanlong level and the stability of the territory, the target they are going to hunt this time will most likely be the one from last time.

Just in time to continue the unfinished battle from last time.

With this idea in mind, one person and one cat walked into the camp talking and laughing.

As soon as they stepped into the entrance of the camp, their footsteps were stunned - there was actually a hunter here.

It was a middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament.

Gordon was surprised to find that he had never seen any of his armor or weapons.

This set of armor is made of some kind of ancient-looking black and red fabric, paired with many hideous monster skeletons, exuding an ominous aura from head to toe.

The weapon is even more strange, it is a two-handed weapon similar to a pair of swords.

But it is definitely not a double sword. The length of a single sword is more than one meter. Double swords are rarely this long, and in terms of shape, they are more like blunt weapons.

stick?

etc.

Gordon suddenly remembered that when chatting with the master craftsman before, the latter had said that in the distant border area, a weapon from ancient times had been restored.

This weapon is called "Dragon-Piercing Stick".

Due to the extremely high difficulty of use, only high-level hunters are allowed to use it.

Gordon didn't know what the dragon-piercing stick looked like, and the master craftsman didn't elaborate. He just briefly mentioned that it was a two-handed weapon like the double swords.

There are many types of hunter weapons, but there are only a dozen types in total. The probability of encountering a weapon of completely unknown type is really low.

In addition, the two elements of "dual-wielding" and "stick" can be matched, Gordon felt that this person should be using the extremely rare "dragon-piercing stick".

Noticing the arrival of Gordon and the others, the middle-aged hunter frowned and stood up from the campfire.

Sensing the other party's vigilance, Gordon did not continue to approach, but first revealed his identity, "I am Gordon, the great swordsman from Bernard Village, and I have accepted the mission of hunting and slaying the dragon.

Excuse me, senior, are you passing by? "

The middle-aged hunter's frown deepened. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gordon carefully, and then said: "I also received the order to hunt and kill the dragon. Show me your mission slip."

Got an order?

This statement made Gordon a little interested. He took out the mission document sandwiched in his hunter's notebook and showed it to the middle-aged hunter, but did not hand it to him directly.

The middle-aged hunter also realized Gordon's distrust. After a few seconds of silence, he took out a shiny metal badge, displayed it in front of Gordon's eyes for two seconds, and then put it away.

"Guild Knight?" Gordon raised his eyebrows.

Although the other party didn't show it for long, he could see the whole badge clearly.

Of course Gordon recognized the badge.

Only a very small number of hunters who are directly affiliated with the guild will obtain the status of "Guild Knight". Unlike ordinary hunters, they are official personnel and even have certain law enforcement rights.

His senior brother Julius is a guild knight. In fact, with his master's relationship, he himself can apply to obtain the status of a guild knight.

Compared to ordinary hunters, guild knights have better benefits and greater power. The guild will even directly provide them with some elite equipment, such as the "Ace Suit" that Julius loves.

But guild knights must always obey the guild's dispatch, and their freedom is lower than that of upper-level hunters. This can be regarded as the price of those benefits and power.

Gordon played with Julius's badge and naturally saw that the badge was real.

Moreover, impersonating a guild knight is also an extremely bad illegal act, which will attract the guild's dark night pursuit, and few people will do it.

"Is the task overlapping?" Gordon muttered.

This situation is not common, but it is not uncommon, especially in a remote village like Berna Village, which is relatively independent and has a strong sense of independence, the problem of poor information communication is particularly obvious.

Just as Gordon hesitated, the guild knight's eyes swept across the greatsword behind him.

The middle-aged hunter was slightly stunned, and then took the initiative to speak: "It should be that there is a problem with the filing process. Our two mission goals are both to hunt and kill dragons, and there is no conflict.

We can cooperate in hunting. I will report this to the guild later. There will be no additional impact."

Gordon thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Although he didn't want to cooperate with this mysterious and gloomy senior from a personal emotional point of view, but considering the identity of the other party's guild knight, it would not be appropriate to refuse.

The guild knight sat down by the campfire again and gave Gordon a look of "come and sit".

Gordon did not refuse, and sat down opposite the guild knight, took out the food he brought, and chewed slowly.

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. Pork Chop looked here and there, scratched his ears, and took out a dried fish and chewed it.

The silence lasted for a while.

Gordon noticed that this strange guild knight seemed to be quite interested in the jet sword behind him and had already looked at it several times.

He simply explained, "This is a new type of greatsword developed by my master, and it is still a trial model."

The Guild Knight looked at Gordon twice with some surprise, "Are you a disciple of Cambe?"

"Yes." Gordon smiled and nodded.

There should be no problem with this person's identity.

The reason for this judgment is that there is an inconspicuous pattern on the blade of the jet sword near the hilt.

This is the mark of the equipment manufacturing department of the guild headquarters.

There are many people who can recognize this mark, but those who can notice the inconspicuous pattern embedded in it should be the core members of the guild, or people who are familiar with the master.

——That is the signature seal of the master.

"Is that so."

The Guild Knight nodded slightly, "Your master and I are old acquaintances. You can call me "Black Hawk". Do you mind showing me the sword carefully?"

Ps. The character Black Hawk was only mentioned in the introduction of the Black Hawk design drawing of mhwi. On this basis, it was expanded
