Chapter 203 Emergency Departure
Gordon took the pork chop and jumped off the arriving airship.
A true red horn that was more than half a man long was carried on his shoulders and wrapped in oilcloth. It looked like a thick stick, attracting the curious eyes of many people.
Gordon, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, the packaging was covered up, otherwise the number of people watching might have been several times greater.
Squeezing through the crowd and walking all the way to the hunter assembly hall located in the central area of the mountainside, Gordon pushed open the door of the assembly hall.
Different from those ordinary people on the street.
Several hunters who were having a drink at a nearby wine table accidentally glanced at this place, and their eyes suddenly straightened. The "stick" seemed to have a magnetic force, firmly attracting their attention.
“Hey, hey, hey?! Is that it?”
“Yes! That shape!”
Several hunters dropped their wine glasses and hurried to Gordon's side, surrounding him.
The movement here attracted the attention of more hunters in the assembly hall, and more and more people gathered around.
It would be stingy to keep secretive at this time.
Gordon grinned, held the "stick" in front of him, and tore off the oilcloth wrapped on it, revealing the huge red horn that seemed to be soaked in blood.
The hunters who were watching suddenly exploded.
“Ooooooh!”
“True Red Horn!”
“I knew it was the ‘proof of hero’!”
“Speaking of which, I’m so young. Is Icerosaurus a five-star?”
“Tsk, tsk, he’s no worse than that kid Julius!”
“It seems his name is Gordon? I saw him and Ancier together before.”
Some people patted their shoulders, some toasted, some stuffed large pieces of barbecue into Gordon's hands, and some were secretly eating pork chops. Everyone in the assembly hall made a fuss around the two of them for a while before slowly dispersing.
The name "Gordon" finally left a special impression among the hunter groups in East Doruma.
The True Red Horn is lying quietly on the mission counter.
The three sisters of the poster girl all bowed to congratulate her. Even Hurley, who has the most out-of-the-box personality, showed a serious side at this time.
The True Red Horn, or the "Proof of Heroes", has a very special meaning to both the hunter group and the Hunter Guild.
—It symbolizes the beginning of the profession of "monster hunter".
The director of the guild personally took out the seal, burned it red with charcoal fire, and stamped the fifth star seal on the cover of Gordon Hunter's notebook.
From today on, he is a five-star hunter.
Gordon scratched his cheek.
The days when the big wild boar king chased him around seemed like just yesterday, and now, am I only one step away from being a "high-ranking hunter"?
“It’s a bit lacking in realism”
Just as Gordon was sighing with emotion, a thin man wearing a scholar's robe and glasses knocked open the side door and stumbled towards this side.
“Supervisor! No, the information is wrong! Urgent message from the observation balloon peregrine in the northwest of the Sea of Trees, the information is wrong!”
Gordon stepped aside, allowing the young scribe to rush to the guild master.
Looking at the scrivener's delicate and almost feminine profile, Gordon felt that it looked familiar. After recalling it for a few seconds, he suddenly blurted out: "Alva?!"
“Huh? Ah! You are.” A few years ago, the young scrivener who had faced Lan Long with Gordon screamed out in shock.
Gordon quickly raised his hand to interrupt, indicating that he should ignore him and continue the report just now.
Alva immediately put the note in his palm into the hands of his supervisor and reported the report very quickly: "Intelligence No. 124 of Shuhai, the related mission is Hunting No. 73.
Original intelligence showed that a male fire dragon had migrated to the northwest edge of the Sea of Trees, threatening the safety of the trade routes, so a hunting mission was established.
But just now, we received an intelligence update. Because the male fire dragon was previously observed late at night, the observer made a misjudgment.
That head is not an ordinary male fire dragon, it is a subspecies of blue fire dragon! "
Gordon, who was eavesdropping on the side, could not help but grin with toothache - the difference between the blue fire dragon and the male fire dragon is not just as simple as the color of the scales.
Like some subspecies of monsters, the Cyan Fire Dragon is more likely to be discovered by predators from the moment it emerges from its shell, and is also more likely to be rejected and attacked by its own race.
Any Cang Fire Dragon that can survive to adulthood is far superior to ordinary male Fire Dragons in terms of strength and physique.
According to the danger level determined by the guild, the Cyan Fire Dragon is at the top of the five-star monsters, even close to the six-star level.
Even compared to the one-horned dragon he hunted before, it was only stronger.
I can only pray that the hunter has not taken over that mission. If I go hunting the Blue Fire Dragon with the preparation of hunting the Male Fire Dragon, something big will happen.
“The task has been taken over.”
The guild director's face was frighteningly dark, "Just yesterday morning, I was accepted as an assessment task for promotion to four stars."
The three waiters who were quickly checking the task registration form heard this and all raised their heads, their faces pale.
Gordon's brows also frowned.
If you are a five-star hunter who takes the mission, and you find that your opponent is not a male fire dragon but a blue fire dragon, you can choose to retreat, or you can curse and try to kill the blue fire dragon.
If you are an experienced four-star hunter, as long as you are cautious, you will have a high degree of confidence in safely evacuating from the pursuit of the Cang Fire Dragon.
But the three-star hunter who has not yet been officially promoted is different.
First of all, it is basically impossible for them to have the experience of hunting large flying dragon species. The kind of pressure is completely different from that of bird dragon species such as big strange birds.
Furthermore, their equipment level is insufficient.
Take the exploding knife used by Gordon during his two-three-star era as an example. That sword was almost enough to cut down the male fire dragon, but when used against the blue fire dragon, it would only be bounced off by its scales.
—Not sharp enough at all.
The same is true for armor. Without equipment replacement during the four-star period, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to pose a threat to five-star monsters.
"She went by airship. It only takes one day from East Doruma to the hunting ground on the west side of the Sea of Trees. She may have encountered the Blue Fire Dragon now!"
Hurley said with red eyes: "We must issue an emergency mission immediately and find someone to rescue her!"
“It’s too late to issue the task.”
The guild leader looked at Gordon and said, "Gordon, I know you have just hunted a horned dragon and are still very tired, but the situation is urgent. Can you please come?"
"No problem." Gordon nodded immediately, "It's mainly a matter of schedule. It's definitely too late to walk. Is there a suitable airship?"
Alva on the side immediately raised his hand and said: "We can help with the airship. We have an airship on standby and can set off within twenty minutes at the fastest!"
“That’s it.”
The guild director made the final decision: "Alva is going to notify the airship now to prepare for take-off. If Gordon needs any additional props, I will have them delivered immediately."
“Recovery potion, antidote, and flash bomb, these are the three main things. The base is full. Others are troublesome to prepare and are not important.”
In this emergency situation, melee hunters are particularly convenient.
“Hetty! Remember to bring some Kampo medicine!”
“Let’s go get it now!”
“There is also Gunpowder Meow! I can adjust the Explosive Meow Meow on the airship!”
“Then take them all!”
ˆps.
The real relationship between Cang Ying and male and female Fire has not been officially stated clearly. It only talks about subtypes. What I say here is considered self-made, similar to Pokémon of different colors?
