Chapter 135 The appearance of the female fire dragon
When he saw Gordon the next day, Ernest had a strange look hidden in his eyes.
This guy is really brave to **** on the sword of heroes.
“The village chief has already sent a letter to the Hunter Guild. It is estimated that the task documents will be sent in a few days.” Ernest crossed his arms habitually and told Gordon the long-awaited news.
“Long live!” Gordon cheered and ran into the house to tell Pork Chop and Ancil the good news.
Looking at the figure who was already a full circle older than himself, Ernest smiled and left alone.
Inside the house.
“In this case, we have to prepare hunting props quickly.” Anhil seemed calm as usual, but couldn’t help but clenched his fists.
For him, the Fire Dragon has no special meaning, but being promoted to four stars means officially catching up with a dual-sword user whom he regards as his opponent.
That’s right, Gordon boasted nicely to the instructor last night, but in fact, the preparations for the hunting props haven’t even started yet.
Most of the materials and luggage are still on the way to be checked in. It is unknown when they will arrive at Kokot Village and there is no hope.
Fortunately, whether it is special ammunition, traps, or alchemical potions such as antidotes, you can buy them from the merchants, but the price is a little expensive.
After asking about the location of the store, Anhil volunteered to go shopping.
Gordon brought the pork chop to the farm in the village. He wanted to buy some honey, spider webs, waterweed, hollow fruits and other things.
These gadget stores may also sell them, but in terms of quality and price, the farm has the upper hand.
Half a day later, Gordon and Ancil returned to the former's home after a full harvest. Most of what they bought were just raw materials. If they wanted to make them into hunting props, they still needed to spend time blending them.
The battle against General Scythe for the first time seemed to have left a deep psychological shadow on Ancil. He suggested that all hunting props, including ammunition, be prepared in double the standard quantity.
To be honest, Gordon didn't think it was necessary, but with a prepared mind, he didn't object.
In the next few days, the two of them almost never left the house and hid in their homes adjusting props.
When instructor Ernest took the mission slip sent by the guild and pushed open the door of Gordon's house, he was really startled by the rows of potions and crossbow shells that filled the table.
After being stunned for two seconds, he nodded with appreciation, "Yes, that's right, you should be fully prepared for hunting! It's better to have a little more trouble beforehand than to find out that you are not well prepared when you need it."
Gordon, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and picking up crossbow shells, threw the water-cooled shell he had just completed to Ancier. He jumped off the bed, walked to the instructor in two steps, and asked impatiently:
“Has our promotion assignment been completed?”
“Here, here you go.”
The instructor handed the receipt to Gordon, "This promotion mission may have unexpected risks. Look carefully before deciding whether to accept it. This is not an emergency. It's okay to refuse."
Gordon picked up the document.

Anhill, who came over to read the mission slip with Gordon, immediately noticed what Ernest meant by "unexpected risks."
He frowned and said, "If a male and female fire dragon appear together, it would already be a five-star mission."
"Not really." The instructor shook his head, "It is a five-star mission to hunt both male and female fire dragons at the same time."
Ancil and Gordon looked at each other, nodded their chins, and agreed with this statement.
Seeing that they had no objections, the instructor sighed helplessly and said: "Maybe it's because the two of you teamed up to do the promotion mission, so the guild raised the difficulty a little as appropriate.
The information about the presence of a female fire dragon has been given to you. You should choose to avoid or fight. You must make a plan in advance. My suggestion is not to force it. "
"Understood."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Gordon and Anhill should be at the same time.
“Be careful in everything.”
The instructor did not nag and remind them as before. He just said a few words, took a deep look at the two of them, and then turned and left.
The unexpected unfolding made the atmosphere in the house a little solemn.
“Mixed doubles for husband and wife.” Gordon sat back on the bed and folded his arms in the same manner as the instructor.
Anhil glanced at him and sat back on the table, "Stop being weird and tell me what you think."
“The instructor is right, we can’t fight hard. A male fire dragon is within our processing range. I can withstand the opponent’s attack head-on and attract attention. You can do long-range damage. It’s perfect.
If there are two fire dragons, it's a completely different situation. It's hard for me to protect myself when surrounded by two fire dragons. Whichever one turns to you in the middle, I can't stop you. If you don't pay attention, you may even be destroyed there, and you can't escape. . "Gordon said a little discouraged.
“You’re not the best.”
Anhil smiled and said: "We really don't have the strength to hunt two fire dragons at the same time now. If you are shouting 'Let's do it together!' or other nonsense, I will reward you with two water-cooled bullets first to calm you down." "
Gordon didn't pay attention to Ancil's teasing and continued: "If we don't fight, there are only two options available. Either avoid the female fire dragon from the beginning, or find a way to lure the female fire dragon away."
"It's impossible to completely avoid it. Male and female fire dragons appear in the same area. They can only be partners. When a male fire dragon is attacked, it's unlikely that a female fire dragon will stand idly by." Anhil shook his head and rejected Gordon's first plan. .
"I can try to lure away the female fire dragon Meow!" Pig Chop raised his paws and volunteered, but his slightly trembling beard proved that he was still a little scared in his heart.
This time it was Gordon's turn to shake his head, "The IQ of the flying dragon species is not low. It is not easy to get the female fire dragon to keep looking at you. If you let it run back in the middle, it will be quite troublesome."
"Meow"
“I have another way.” Anhil frowned, seeming a little reluctant.
"Tell me?"
“In the face of this situation, there is a special crossbow shell that may have a good effect, but.”
“Stop being so secretive! Say it quickly!”
"Okay." Ancier sighed and said, "Do you know about fertilizer bombs?"
“I don’t know (meow).”
Gordon and Pork Chop shook their heads together, saying that they had never heard of such an unusual ammunition from its name.
“Those are special crossbow bullets made from monster excrement. The smell is strong and indescribable.” Anhil had a constipated expression on his face.
"If you hit the monster with a fertilizer bomb without it noticing you, the stench of the fertilizer bomb will drive it away. We may be able to use this method to separate the male and female fire dragons."
"This method sounds good!" Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard this. "If the male and female fire dragons are far enough apart, we have a greater chance of completing the hunt before it comes back."
“I can also follow the female fire dragon after it flies away, and lead her to a farther place, meow!” Pig Chop raised his paw and added.
“Okay, let’s do it then!”
