Chapter 14 The target is the Blue Velociraptor
Gordon noticed that although the uncle tried hard to keep a straight face, he tried to put on a calm expression of "this thing is just a trivial matter to me."
But even the extremely lush beard couldn't stop the self-satisfaction at the corner of his mouth.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Gordon stepped forward to the long table, held the hilt of the explosive knife with both hands, raised it with a slight shout, and at the same time pressed his body back slightly, tensed up, and made a standard The sword is ready for battle.
“Hmph! This is not how this murder weapon is used!”
The owner of the blacksmith shop finally lost his composure. He quickly walked towards Gordon, grabbed the explosive knife in his hand, and shook the arm holding the sword slightly.
“Clang!” A metallic clang sounded.
Five hooked sickle-shaped blades shimmering with cold light popped out from the smooth blade of the Exploding Knife. Together with the huge hook at the tip, they formed the unique blade of the Exploding Knife.
“This is the true form of the blasting knife!” the blacksmith shop owner said proudly.
“Don’t underestimate these shiny little things. They are sharper than you imagine. Do you know why the explosive knife is designed to be able to retract the hook into the sword body?
It is to prevent these small claws from tearing apart the user's skin and armor when the hunter carries it behind his back! "
Gordon took the blasting knife from the blacksmith shop owner with a look of surprise on his face. After observing it carefully for a while, he asked: "Then how do I take back these blades?"
“As long as the back of the sword is facing down and the blade is upward, that is to say, the action of putting the sword back on the back is made, and the hilt is shaken at the same time, the mechanism in the sword body will automatically retract the blade.”
Gordon tried it according to the method the blacksmith shop owner said.
Sure enough, with another metallic sound, the metal blades that were easily reminiscent of the monster's claws were retracted and hidden.
“Hehe, just enjoy the beautiful scenery of the monster’s scales and flesh flying under her claws.” The blacksmith shop owner opened his mouth and said with a mouth full of white teeth.
“I can’t wait any longer!”
After hurriedly saying goodbye to the blacksmith shop owner, Gordon couldn't wait to rush to the training ground with the explosive knife, wanting to experience the wonderful feeling of wielding this big sword as soon as possible.
At the training ground, the instructor seemed to have been waiting for a while.
This sturdy middle-aged man patted a wooden stake wrapped in scrap leather next to him and was as thick as an adult man's thigh, and said narrowly:
"I knew that as soon as you got a new weapon, you would rush over to try it out. I have prepared the target for you. Come, let's experience the power of heavy weapons!"
Gordon smiled and without saying much, he directly raised the explosive knife in his hand.
There was a clang of steel, and the metal claws popped out of the blade. Gordon took a breath, adjusted his breath, and then shouted.
“Drink!”
The muscles of the whole body are tense, and the staggered steps drive the waist and upper body to rotate. The muscles and tendons of the whole body are like fully stretched bowstrings, concentrating every ounce of power on the explosive knife, and then bursting out instantly.
The sharp claws easily cut into the hard wooden stakes wrapped in leather, but this was only the beginning.
As the force continued to be input along the handle of the knife, coupled with the huge inertia of the explosive knife itself, in a burst of teeth-piercing tearing sounds, the wooden target target as high as a person was easily swung into two pieces.
Countless pieces of leather and wood were scattered everywhere, making the ground of the training ground a mess.
Even though he was prepared, the power of the explosive knife far exceeded Gordon's expectations.
If you use a hunter's knife and swing it with enough force, you should be able to cut the leather on the wooden stake with one blow, right? But that's the limit.
The slashing attack of the explosive knife is not just as simple as "cutting" or "cutting", but "tearing".
It can be predicted that the next second after those metal hooks are embedded in the monster's body, their scales and flesh will be torn into pieces in an instant.
This is the attack method of the great sword, brutal and direct.
“Not bad.”
The instructor crossed his arms and said jokingly: "Now that the new weapon has been obtained and the basic training of the sword has been completed, is it time to take on a mission and practice it?"
“You can’t get what you ask for!”

The commission was received from the village chief.
According to the instructor, in large cities such as Minagard and Dongdolma, there will be special hunter assembly halls, which not only provide intermediaries, accommodation, catering and other services.
There is also a cute poster girl!
In comparison, the village elder who is dry and always confused is really boring.
Putting the parchment recording the mission commission into the hunter's notebook, Gordon prepared to go home first and set off as soon as he was ready.
It is said to be preparation, but in fact it is just to go back and put on armor. As for hunting props and other things, Gordon, who almost lost his fortune to make the explosive knife, did not bring anything with him.
Anyway, there will be supplies prepared by the Hunter Guild in the hunting camp.
It’s not like I’m going to hunt some dangerous large monsters. Having those things is enough.
Compared to Gordon's excitement, Pork Chop seemed a little nervous.
This is its first mission since becoming a hunting cat, and its target is the blue velociraptor group that is the most troublesome for the Ellu tribe.
The so-called Blue Velociraptor is not a powerful monster, but a small carnivorous dinosaur with a ridge height of about 150 centimeters. Its individual strength is even worse than that of a large wild boar, and it can be regarded as the lowest level predator.
Let alone Gordon after switching to the explosive knife, even if he used to hold a hunter's knife, he wouldn't take it too seriously.
However, to the wild Ellu tribe, these cunning, ferocious, and team-working guys are even more of a threat than those large monsters.
Almost every year, Ellu is injured or even killed in their mouths.
Seeing Pork Chop's uneasiness, Gordon patted its nut shell helmet.
"Don't worry, they are just bullies. After entering the hunting ground, your main task is to help me be vigilant about the surroundings. Leave those 'Senqiu villains' to me to deal with!"
Pig Chop grasped the cat pick with both hands and shook his head vigorously: "I will work hard too, meow! Their heads are very fragile, meow. My father said that as long as I give their eyes a hard hit with the cat pick, they will..." Fallen Meow!"
“Ha, you have to have this kind of momentum! Blue Velociraptor doesn’t matter, do you know why I chose this task?” Gordon wiped his nose with his thumb and asked with a smile.
“Because the family has no money, meow? The pay for this task is quite high, meow!”
“Well, that’s just one of the reasons!”
Gordon waved his hands awkwardly, "Materials, it's materials! I want to get a lot of blue velociraptor skins, scales, claws and teeth."
“Meow? Do you want to sell it for money, meow?” Pork Chop’s furry little face looked confused.
ˆ “.”
Gordon glanced at his partner helplessly, "I'm not that obsessed with money yet. Hey, I'm not doing charades anymore, it's just to build new armor.
If we want to hunt stronger monsters, the "kindergarten uniforms" we are wearing are not enough. The goal of our trip is to collect all the materials for the blue velociraptor suit! "
