Chapter 323: The helplessness of hunter-gatherers
Jieyun Village.
Although they have not decided to stay, Anxil and Feng Ying are still willing to help as much as possible during the period before leaving.
Early that morning, they arrived at the local hunter gathering place in Jieyun Village.
Slightly different from the planning method in which the assembly hall and tavern of most urban villages are combined, the assembly hall of Jieyun Village is built together with the hot spring hotel.
Turn right from the counter and within a few steps you can see several pools of steaming hot springs.
If you feel out of shape, you can jump directly into the hot spring pool after receiving the task, have a good soak, and order a nourishing nutritional drink to ensure that you are full of energy and 100 times more energetic.
Behind the counter stood two pretty girls. They were both receptionists at the hot spring hotel and the poster girls at the Yuyun Village Hunter Assembly Hall.
Seeing Feng Ying and An Xil approaching, the two waitresses folded their hands in front of their lower abdomens and bowed in unison.
They knew that An Xil and Feng Ying were not locals, so they started to introduce themselves briefly.
Wearing a pink uniform, the one who looked more lively winked and stuck out his **** cute manner, "Hello, you two, I am Konoha, and I have a lot of tasks in hand. You can take on whatever you want. ~.
How about that mysterious big dog with electric discharge all over its body? It will definitely be a very exciting hunt hehe~! "
Anhir frowned slightly.
At first he thought that this lively sign girl looked a bit like Hurley, the younger sister of the Dongdoruma triplets, but after hearing what the former said later, he felt that this guy was much worse than Hurley.
How can any of the poster girls take the initiative to encourage hunters to take on high-risk missions?
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hunter, please don't pay attention to this flower's nonsense."
The waitress in blue uniform bowed again, "I am Sasayu. If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to tell me at any time."
This one seems much more professional.
Anhil nodded his chin, handed over his hunter's note, and asked Sasayu: "Miss Sasayu, I heard that the number of monsters around Yuyun Village has increased recently and they are very active, right?"
“That’s right, it’s not just around Jieyun Village. According to guests from other places, the entire northern part of the Western Continent is not very peaceful this year, especially in the Jieyun Village area.”
Ms. Sasayu’s reply was serious and rigorous, and Anxier was very satisfied.
“I see, please help us choose a three-star hunting mission. It’s best if it’s closer to Jieyun Village. It’s best if we can go back and forth on the same day.”
Perhaps they will leave in a few days, and Anhir doesn't want to cause more trouble.
"How about this mission of hunting colorful birds? The target hunting ground is not far from the village. With your strength, you should be able to solve it easily."
“Okay, that’s it.”
The process of hunting colorful birds was quite smooth.
As long as Feng Ying is careful, she can successfully deal with the three-star dangerous monster by herself, let alone Ancier, a four-star heavy crossbow user.
The only twist and turn during this period was that this bird-dragon monster, which was good at imitating various sounds, used its roar to summon a nearby green bear beast.
Considering that this hunting ground was quite close to Jieyun Village, Feng Ying said "Get the **** out of here!" and tidied it up.
Taking care of random monsters does not count as poaching. You can just report it later to avoid having to trouble other hunters to make another trip later.
Just when the two of them stripped the monster of materials and prepared to return.
In the distant sky, a red signal flare slowly rose.
The two of them, who were not particularly interested in colorful bird materials, put away their knives at the same time.
“Senior Ancier?”
“Woof woof!”
Anhil checked his magazine belt. In order to train Feng Ying in the previous battle, he didn't fire much, and he still had plenty of ammunition.
“Let’s go, how can we turn a blind eye to the distress signal.”
Chang Yong used the last bit of his strength to climb up a thick spruce tree.
With his rich experience, he is well aware of the hardness of this kind of tree - the core material of the tree can even be used to make weapons specially designed for hunters, which shows its strength.
Hide here, and the monster won't be able to get up.
Changshi took two deep breaths, lay down on the branch, and wiped away the purple-black blood flowing from his nostrils.
He forced his eyelids to look like lead, took out a freshly collected antidote grass from his prop bag, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The acrid taste was frowning, but he still managed to swallow the grass juice and fiber together.
After resting with my eyes closed for a while, the burning sensation in my mouth, nose and lungs subsided slightly. The detoxification grass must have had a certain effect.
Unfortunately, the detoxification grass that had not been purified and blended was not effective enough to completely remove the poison in his body.
A distress signal has been sent out, but I don’t know how long I can hold on.
Changshi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Oh, you are no longer useful when you are old. You should come out with an antidote."
He is a two-star hunter, a two-star hunter who is almost sixty years old.
The talent is not good and the courage is not big. When he was young, he hunting a few monsters such as blue beasts and dog dragon kings, but he was also injured.
Since then, he has gradually realized that hunting and fighting are not suitable for him.
As a result, he became a "gatherer hunter" who was laughed at by some fellow hunters.
Year after year of exploration made him know every plant and tree near Jieyun Village like the back of his hand.
Specialty mushrooms, bamboo shoots, large matsutake mushrooms, flower-scented stones, cloud-hard wood….
He knows exactly where and which specialties can be found.
Gradually, he became the most popular person in the eyes of businessmen. Hunters who had laughed at him in the past would sometimes come to him for advice. Some young people would even call him "Teacher Changshi" sincerely.
He enjoyed this stable life and wandered around the stream area near Jieyun Village all his life, and he never went to the hunting grounds in the distance once.
Married a wife, had children, and a cute little granddaughter a few years ago.
His son persuaded him to retire, and he agreed. He took off his Yuyun suit that was full of repair marks, put away the dog dragon blade that had been used for many years, and enjoyed a few years of leisurely and boring days.
Until this spring and summer, changes occurred.
Looking at the younger generations in the village going out to hunt day and night to eliminate monsters that approach the village.
Over the past six months, more than one or two people have died or been seriously injured or disabled.
He finally couldn't help it anymore, and despite the opposition of his family, he put on his armor again and took up arms.
He knew he couldn't deal with the monsters that were too powerful, but he had no problem in defeating a few wild boars, dogs and dragons.
Who would have thought that something would go wrong today.
On a mission to hunt fifteen large wild boars, we encountered an intruding monster.
Even when he was young, let alone his age, he couldn't deal with such a dangerous monster...
Escaped all the way, but was still poisoned by the venom spewed by the monster.
Had he not known where to find a spruce tall enough to avoid disaster, he would have been eaten by a monster.
Looking down at the light purple giant beast that was still wandering nearby, Chang Shi sighed again.
Such monsters have come near the village. What happened?
