Chapter 314 Mastery of all weapons?
Gordon and Jean lay down in the snow, motionless, like two stones, letting the falling snow cover them.
Jean tried to jump out of the snow nest several times, but Gordon held him down.
A family of seven mammoths, five large and two small, slowly passed ten meters in front of them.
Jean wanted to rush out again.
This time the movement was louder, and the distance was really close. The mammoths, sensing the abnormality, hissed, took heavy steps, and began to run.
Jean wanted to catch up, but with the mammoth's slow running speed, he could catch up.
But Gordon stopped him again.
Gene said angrily: "What are you doing, Brother Gordon? A lot of meat just ran away like this!"
"No hurries."
Gordon looked calm, "We didn't come here to hunt for raw meat."
“Isn’t it?” Gene was confused.
He clearly remembered that the requirement on the task document was to collect raw meat.
Moreover, Gordon also said some weird things like "You've almost eaten up all the meat in the village", which made him feel embarrassed.
Gordon stood up and brushed off the remaining snow on his body, "The purpose of collecting meat is only superficial. We can solve it by finding a suitable prey before we go back.
I want you to see this vibrant nature. "
“Nature?” Gene looked around doubtfully, “Besides mountains and snow, what’s there to see?”
“What do you think is the relationship between humans and nature?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Gene replied casually without thinking.
“It’s ‘coexistence’, you idiot!”
Gordon said angrily: "The natural ecology is strong and fragile. The strength is, well, for example, I feel that if a fire burns up this mountain top."
"Hahahaha! Brother Gordon, what are you talking about? How can a snow-capped mountain burn? Haha!"
ˆ Gordon: "."
When he arrived in Minagard at the beginning of the year, he was also a second star, seventeen years old, the same age as Jean.
After the mission to defeat the Strangeface Tribe, Gordon was deeply impressed by Yamos's lesson about natural balance. (Chapter 48)
The words "We are hunters, not butchers" still remain in his heart, which greatly affects his attitude when facing monsters in the future.
He hoped to use Mr. Yamos's original words and his original example to make Jean understand the true responsibilities of a hunter, as well as the importance of protecting nature and maintaining ecological balance.
It’s a pity that I’m not good at eloquence, and Gene is also a stone-headed guy.
After walking around for a long time, this kid thought he was telling a joke to him.
Seeing that this guy was still laughing, Gordon punched him in the head with anger, and his laughter suddenly turned into a scream.
Much more comfortable.
Gordon angrily pointed at the retreating figures of the group of mammoths and asked: "How many males and how many females are there in that group of mammoths?"
How to quickly identify the male and female mammoths is a difficult problem for many hunters, but it is very simple for Gene, who grew up in the wilderness.
“Uh, the big one is a male and there are four females, and the small one is a male and a female?”
Gordon twitched his lips.
To be honest, it was just an adult mammoth, and he actually didn’t recognize the gender of the two cubs.
“Are there any elderly individuals among them?”
“No, the female with one head must have just reached adulthood, and the other two are still pregnant.”
“How many babies can a young female mammoth give birth to before she grows old?”
“Then if you chop it down, is it equivalent to hacking down the dozen or so baby mammoths in the future, as well as their countless descendants?”
“Yes, can it be calculated like this?”
“Of course! If you are hunting an old mammoth, you will only kill one. If you are hunting a young mammoth or even a pregnant mammoth, it will be equivalent to killing a large group!
The meat obtained at that time was the same, but ten or twenty years later, the result was completely different. Do you understand? "Gordon glared at Gene angrily.
“Ming, I understand!” Jean finally figured it out.
Gordon nodded with satisfaction, "This is the lesson I want to teach you today. If you need to hunt for meat, choose an old one if you have one, and choose a male if you have a male!"
This way we can continue to obtain a steady stream of meat in the future, remember! "
“Remember!” Jean nodded vigorously and simply agreed.
Gordon could see that he really listened.
Sure enough, when trying to reason with such a stone head, you have to do it simply and straightforwardly!
“Brother Gordon, where should we go next? Should we continue to stay here?”
Gordon gathered up his cloak that was soaked in snow, "No, let's take a look at your tracking skills. You've been wallowing in the wilderness for all these years, so you should still be able to track."
"Of course!" Jean struck his palm, "What are you following? The Snow Lion King that escaped before?"
Gordon glared at him, "Why did you get into trouble with that snow lion king? Find me an old mammoth! A snow deer will do too!"
"oh"
In the following period, Gordon would take Gene to the hunting grounds almost every day.
Hayata would often go with him, sometimes to teach something, sometimes to learn something.
In terms of tracking skills alone, this guy is a little better than Hayata, and even Gordon will benefit from certain details.
The Frasia region may seem desolate, but it is actually rich in resources, especially the deep main peak area, which has no shortage of mineral resources and biological resources.
At Gordon's suggestion, Gene began a journey of collecting various basic materials.
Iron ore, lanchite, ice crystals, earth crystals, sticky termites, etc., collect more if you have the opportunity, they will always come in handy.
What Gordon didn't expect was that Gene actually used the iron ore he had collected recently to go to the workshop and place an order for the "Great Sword".
As the most basic version of the Iron Greatsword, it can be easily enhanced into the explosive knife that Gordon once used.
“You want to switch to a big sword?” Gordon couldn’t help but ask him.
“No, I don’t intend to give up the sword. I’ll use the sword and the big sword instead!” Jean’s smiling attitude made Gordon angry.
But he was impatient with being pestered, and finally taught Jean the basic sword moves of the big sword. As a result, Jean only spent most of a day on learning it.
Although with his current physical condition, he is still unable to control the various types of charged cuts in advanced sword moves, he has already memorized the postures and power-generating techniques in his mind.
Gordon suspiciously showed Gene the one or two double-blade moves he had learned from Julius as a joke.
As a result, Gene was able to play the game more gracefully than him within a few strokes.
Gordon began to realize that this guy might be like the master craftsman in his youth, an "all-rounder" who could master various weapons.
People like them may not be able to surpass themselves as "experts" who specialize in large swords in the use of certain weapons, such as large swords.
But they have more flexible tactical options.
When dealing with extremely fast monsters, use the double sword sword. When hunting targets with heavy armor, use a sledgehammer.
No one can predict where he will go in the future.
Perhaps you are knowledgeable but not sophisticated, and become mediocre.
Perhaps, become another legend.
(There is another chapter in the evening
ˆPs.
There shouldn’t be anyone struggling with the question “Why is Gene more talented than Gordon?”. If anyone does struggle, just think of it as the difference between a generalist and a specialist.
