Chapter 343 A stream soaked in purple venom
Gordon came to the counter and said hello to the two waitresses.
“Miss Hana, Miss Sasayu, please show us the four- and five-star hunting missions.”
“Hi hi~!”
“Okay, Mr. Gordon.”
After the two people laid out the task documents, Gordon was a little surprised and said: "That's all?"
On the reception counter, you can count the number of documents on one hand. Previously, there were more than ten four-star tasks alone.
"Yes."
Sasayu bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Manager canceled many tasks yesterday. The remaining ones are either very close to the village and highly aggressive, or they cause great damage to the ecological environment.
Tasks that affected the safety of trade routes and interfered with timber harvesting were basically put on hold and replaced by a large number of exploration tasks. "
Gordon and the others exchanged glances.
The old management man is really very efficient.
This will undoubtedly affect the current production, life and economic development of Jieyun Village, but in the long run, it is worth it.
Gordon focused his attention on the two five-star mission documents.
There are still people in Jieyun Village who can complete the four-star mission, but if it is a five-star mission, they are the only ones who have the strength to take it.
Hayata and Anshir also came over to watch together.
The hunting requirements of a single document are for the subspecies of colorful bird and the colorful bird in the same field. The two colorful birds may be partners and often appear together.
Because they are good at and like to imitate the sounds of other monsters, they mess up the distribution of monsters in a large area around them, and they seem to enjoy it.
Hence, the management of the assembly hall believes that it is better to deal with these two guys as soon as possible.
Anther and Feng Ying are familiar with the hunting target of the other document - the purple water beast.
Because of its ability to secrete venom all the time and being a very hydrophilic amphibian, the ecology of the stream basin near Jieyun Village has been severely damaged.
There has even been a case where people collecting water downstream were poisoned. In terms of urgency, it was higher than the previous task.
Gordon looked at his companions and said, "I think it's okay. The difficulty of the task isn't too high for us.
The one in front should be careful not to call the surrounding monsters, and the purple beast needs to pay attention to avoid poisoning.
What do you think?”
“Choose the purple water beast.” An Xil and Feng Ying said in unison.
“Well, what grudge do you have against it?”
Anhil explained with a smile, “I don’t have any grudge against it, we just had a fight a few weeks ago and at the same time I saved Mr. Nagashi.
But Feng Ying has a grudge. When you set out to hunt the fire dragon, she also went out to hunt the poisonous dog dragon. As a result, the mission failed because of the intrusion of the purple water beast. "
“That rotten banana!” Feng Ying said angrily.
“Hayata have any ideas?”
“Of course I want to avenge Xiao Fengying!” Hayata said with a chuckle.
“Since you all say so, let’s go with the purple water beast.”
Gordon picked up the mission slip and said, "Miss Huahua, please help us register the mission."

Task content: Hunting the purple water beast
Remuneration: 12,000 gold

Monsters that may appear: Dog Dragon, Dog Dragon King, Big Wild Boar, Green Bear Beast
Manager of the gathering place: The purple water beast subspecies of water beast wanders around, secreting venom that pollutes streams and ponds, causing the death of a large number of fish and shrimps.
If this continues, the ecology of nearby waters will be destroyed. Please resolve it as soon as possible.
Notice! The poison of the purple water beast is not trivial, so be sure to bring a sufficient amount of antidote.

The Purple Water Beast may not be able to give hunters the unspeakable sense of tension that the Thunder Dragon can.
But the purple venom that is enough to pollute the river has also pushed it to the five-star danger level, which is a full two stars higher than the ordinary water beast of the original species.
In order to ensure the safety of hunting, hunters have made sufficient preparations.
Not to mention the most critical antidote, each person also brought two of the expensive Kampo medicines.
This is also thanks to the preparations of Anhil's sister Jiesijia, otherwise with the current semi-closed situation of Jieyun Village, it would not be easy to purchase these precious medicines in large quantities.
The weak attribute of the Purple Water Beast is fire, so Ancil naturally carries a large number of fire bombs.
At this point, the benefits of having more than one person in the team are revealed—at least they can help carry more ammunition.
Gordon's Fire Dragon Sword is also very suitable for hunting purple water beasts, but this time he brought the big sword [Wang Hu].
According to the mother-in-law of the craftsman in Bokai Village, this big sword is amazingly powerful, but not very easy to control. Gordon plans to take this opportunity to practice it. After all, there is a big difference between actual combat and sword target cutting.
Walking all the way, around noon, they arrived at the target hunting ground.
Seeing that it was still early, they did not stay in the camp for long. After one last check of equipment and supplies, they set off directly to start hunting.
After entering an area frequented by monsters, the entire team became vigilant.
Pork Chop Pandan rode Amber and leaned out hundreds of meters for reconnaissance.
The relationship between the two cats and the dog is quite good, and they always act together as if they have become one.
Hayata walked at the front of the team, and Gordon was at the end of the team. These two positions are the most dangerous, and are often occupied by the stronger swordsmen in the team.
As a shooter, Anhir is located in the center of the team. He has the best eyesight and is also responsible for guarding the surrounding areas, ready to support shooting at any time.
As a shield and ax user, Feng Ying was supposed to be the vanguard, but Gordon pointed her to Ancier and asked her to "protect" the latter.
In fact, even she herself knew that she was the one being protected.
Pork Chop and the others are back.
Gordon noticed that their emotions seemed a little wrong, "What, have you found any traces of monsters?"
Zhupa scratched his ears twice and said, "It's meow, but the situation is not good. Meow, everyone will know meow when they see it."
Gordon and his party quickened their pace slightly.
A few minutes later, Gordon and the others were speechless as they looked at the desolate scene in front of them.
“Why is this?” Feng Ying said sadly.
This is a small pond, with an area of only a few hundred square meters. The groundwater and the gurgling trickles give the pond plenty of water.
There is a bamboo forest beside the pond, and unknown aquatic plants spread on the surface of the pond. This should be a beautiful and vibrant scene with abundant water plants.
It seems particularly deserted now.
The originally clear water was glowing with an unknown light lavender color. Countless fish and shrimps that had begun to rot were floating on the water, exuding a strong fishy odor.
Plants in the water and bamboo forests on the shore have also turned yellow.
I don’t know how long it will take before things can be restored to their original state.
“No wonder the guild emphasized the need to deal with this guy.” Gordon sighed and squatted down at a position by the pond.
There are traces of webbed feet crawling and giant objects dragging on the soft mud. In the depressions in the mud, there are still some purple-black substances remaining, which should be dried venom.
“Once such monsters leave the habitat that can adapt to accommodate their existence, they will cause ecological disaster wherever they go.
Perhaps it had no intention of causing all this. It just felt that the sun was too strong, so it crawled into the pond and took a bath.
However, for the pond itself and the creatures that depend on the pond, it is a disaster. "
