Chapter 142 Willful
In early summer, the Metabe dense forest is still oppressively hot and humid even late at night.
In the clearing in the forest, a purple-black ferocious monster twitched and took its last breath—it was a bird-dragon monster named "Black Wolf Bird".
This kind of monster was once considered to be a rare species of giant strange bird. The so-called rare species refers to a very small number of individuals born in the original monster group. They possess power and abnormal appearance that far exceed the original species.
However, with further in-depth research, scholars believe that the black wolfbird has embarked on an evolutionary path closer to the flying dragon, and the two should be distinguished.
Although they are 70% to 80% similar to the big monster bird in appearance, their carapace and scales are a completely different purple-black color from the big monster bird. Sharp thorns are almost all over the body, and their long and pointed beaks are also rounder than the big monster bird. The beak is aggressive.
In terms of danger rating, the Black Wolf Bird is more than one level higher than the Big Monster Bird. Even among four-star monsters, it is a very prominent one and is more dangerous than many flying dragon species.
The violent attack style and undying surly character have earned them the reputation of "black lunatics" among hunter groups, or a bad name. They are the kind of terrifying existence that ordinary hunters avoid.
However, no matter how terrifying the legend is, the black wolf bird in front of me is dead. It died at the hands of two young hunters and an Elu cat.
The burly swordsman wearing red and black heavy armor put away his weapon.
What he is equipped with is an excellent piece of armor called the "Fire Dragon Suit".
This set of armor is mainly made of the carapace, wing membranes and scales of the male fire dragon, combined with a large number of high-quality dragon stones. Its defensive performance is far beyond that of ordinary equipment. It can calmly deal with attacks from flying dragons. It belongs to that kind of armor. This is an excellent piece of equipment that anyone who sees it can immediately understand the strength of its owner.
The thing he just carried on his back was a great sword made from the same type of flying dragon - the Fire Dragon Flame Sword.
As a rare entity among attribute great swords that is not criticized by others, the Male Fire Dragon Flame Sword not only ranks among the best among great swords of the same level in terms of basic attack power and sharpness, it also has a special built-in flame mechanism. When it slashes at a monster, At this time, blazing flames will spurt out from the sword body, burning the monster and causing further fire damage.
The charred knife marks on the Black Wolf Bird's corpse are the best proof of its power.
Squatting down next to the body of the black wolf bird, the swordsman took off the full-face helmet of the male fire dragon suit, revealing his young face covered in sweat.
He took a long breath, "Huh--, what a scary guy. If it weren't for the fact that he had a face that was 80% similar to the big strange bird, I would never believe that these two monsters actually belong to the same native species.
Ancil! What are you dawdling about? ! Come and collect it and see if the materials are enough for you to make new equipment! "
“What’s the noise? Here we come.”
Wearing a dress that looked like armor, Anhil walked slowly out of the shadows of the woods.
Compared with when he was promoted to a four-star hunter more than a year ago, Ancil's armor and weapons have not changed at all. They are still the "classic combination" of the flying beetle suit and the crystal rifle.
Over the past year of traveling and hunting, he and Gordon have cooperated to hunt down many four-star monsters, including two or three fire dragons alone, but his armor has never changed.
As for weapons, we have built several heavy crossbows that are suitable for special ammunition with different attributes, and they can be used interchangeably according to the situation.
“It’s time for you to get a new set of armor, Pork Chop’s equipment is stronger than yours.” Gordon looked at the slow Ancil and complained rather speechlessly.
“Meow—!” Pork Chop, who was being compared for no apparent reason, meowed casually.
There seems to be no problem in saying that it is stronger than the shooter version of the flying beetle suit.
Ignoring them, Anhir came to the body of the black wolf bird and leaned down, touched the pair of purple-red ears that were more narrow than the ordinary big strange bird, and said with satisfaction:
"Yes, both ears are not damaged. In this way, we have collected all the materials for the 'Artillery [Fierce Bird]'. The loading capacity of nine lv3 normal bombs and the loading capacity of 6 flame bombs. Tsk tsk, thank you ah!"
Gordon's face dropped when he heard this, "Can it also be used as a weapon? Didn't you say that the black wolf suit is quite effective? Do you really not want to consider it?"
The monsters we are dealing with are getting stronger and stronger now. Be careful if something unexpected happens. The defensive performance of the flying beetle suit cannot even withstand a casual blow from the monster, and we will be in big trouble. "
“.What you said is not completely unreasonable.”
"Right? Let's make a black wolf bird suit! If this material is not enough, we will ask around and find another one for you! Isn't this how I made my fire dragon suit?"
"I don't."
Anhil crossed his hands and made a "no" gesture, "I saw people wearing black wolf suits when I was in Dongdoruma. It was so ugly. The purple color was so bright that it pierced my eyes, which made me sick. "
Hearing this, Gordon covered his face helplessly.
He understood that the main reason why Young Master Ancil always used the flying beetle suit was actually that he thought this set of equipment looked better.
Unlike some "practical" hunters who mix and match equipment and dress messily in order to pursue attributes, they are two extremes. Young Master Ancil believes that as a "hunter", you must at least dress like a "person" first.
"But it is true." Anhil glanced at the body of the black wolf bird and seemed to be saying to himself: "The fireball that came towards me just now scared me. If I hadn't slipped and dodged in time, I might have been killed. Something big happened."
Seeing that Ancil's attitude had relaxed, Gordon immediately nodded and added, "That's right! If you don't like the look of the black wolf suit, other armors will do too!
There are so many types of armor, there are always a few sets that can take into account both effect and appearance, right? "
Anhil stroked his smooth chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "I think about it, relatively speaking, the effect of the sickle crab suit is very good. It can increase the power of the penetrating projectile and at the same time suppress the drift of the crosshair to a certain extent.
Although the shape doesn’t particularly suit my aesthetic taste, it’s not ugly either.”
“The general sickle crab is great! We have hunted two of these before, so it’s not difficult to deal with. I remember there are records of them in the wetland. It’s not too far from here, so you can definitely make a trip!”
It's not that he is nosy, but the defensive performance of the flying insect suit is really not up to par with their four-star hunter level. Any four-star monster can easily break through the defense. Gordon is really worried that one day he will be safe. Hill made a mistake and died suddenly.
"It's not necessary. If it's a sickle crab suit, the materials are enough." Anhil held the brim of his hat and said quietly.
Hearing what Ancil said, Gordon hurriedly pressed the iron hot and urged: "Then what are we waiting for? Go back to settle the tasks and make equipment!
Speaking of the workshops with good reviews around here! To the west is Minagard City! We can go there to customize equipment. I know the boss well and his skills are absolutely top-notch! "
Looking at Gordon's excitement, Ancil smiled helplessly.
It doesn’t matter, just like what Gordon said, the monsters are getting stronger and stronger, and I can’t continue to be so willful.
