Chapter 55 This is the kind of teammate that a shooter likes
The agreed meeting place.
Looking at the two huge packages behind Urshula, Gordon was startled.
Out of politeness, he walked forward with the pork chop and prepared to help share some, but unexpectedly, Oshula stepped back, glared at him, and rejected him loudly:
"No, no, no, don't come over here. There are a lot of dangerous items in here. You swordsmen are clumsy and don't get blown up."
Gordon raised his hands to show that he would not touch them, and just watched the huntress carefully carry the large amount of things onto the cart heading to the hunting ground.
As for what was in the package, Gordon knew it without guessing. Although he had never worked directly with a shooter hunter, he had never eaten a big wild boar and never seen a big wild boar running away.
It’s nothing more than some ammunition and the corresponding mixing materials.
Compared to melee hunters, also known as swordsmen, shooters who use long-range weapons have a safer hunting environment, higher damage output capabilities, and more flexible tactical options.
The price is a large consumption of various types of crossbow shells and arrows.
In other words, it will be very expensive
Oshula is a very outgoing, even too talkative guy. On the way to the hunting ground, she kept complaining about something, indirectly spreading a lot of knowledge about shooters to Gordon.
For example, the heavy crossbow has the highest damage among all long-range weapons. However, due to the heavy weight of the crossbow, hunters move slowly and often need to work together as a team.
For example, shooters need to return to the camp more than once during a hunting trip to replenish ammunition.
For another example, shooter armor is designed to be more flexible, and its defensive performance is much worse than that of melee equipment.
Gordon didn't feel bored either. Coming from a remote village, he had no way of understanding these so-called "common senses", so he just learned a lesson by the way.
“Hey, Gordon boy, this is not your first time teaming up with a shooter, is it?” Urshula, who had been chattering for a long time, finally discovered something was wrong.
Gordon responded with a silly smile, but did not hide it for the sake of face, "Yes, senior Oshura, you are actually the first archer hunter I have seen with my own eyes."
．?!
Oshula was so shocked that he accidentally pulled out a strand of his hair.
“Are you serious?”
Gordon shrugged and said in a helpless tone: "Before coming to Minagard, I only knew one hunter, and that was my master and instructor, Ernest. He was a five-star sledgehammer.
Oh, by the way, if you count the retired old guy, there's also a 'Kokot Hero', well, but he's also a swordsman, you know, a one-hand sword. "
Oshula slapped his forehead in distress, "It's a bit troublesome. It seems I have to start from scratch."
Gordon smiled sheepishly.
This is also the main reason why he doesn’t want to form a team with others and participate in the three-star mission just yet.
Compared to regular three-star hunters, his frontal combat capabilities may be passable, but his hunting experience and related knowledge are still far behind.
Fortunately, although Oshura is usually carefree, he is actually a very enthusiastic and easy-to-get-together person. If he had been a more serious person, he would have rolled his eyes at himself and shouted to cancel the mission.
Aware that the problem was serious, Urshula stopped talking nonsense and seriously explained to Gordon the various precautions when forming a team with a shooter hunter.
“Do you know the shooting world? The shooting world!”
“You probably know, maybe it’s the range that crossbow shells and arrows can shoot?”
This is a very troublesome situation.
Archers will not be able to shoot smoothly because they are concerned about the position of their companions, and swordsmen may also be injured by accidental crossbow shells from behind. "
Although Gordon had never understood this, he was not stupid, and he quickly understood what Oshula meant.
“So I should try to stand on the other side of the monster you’re shooting at to avoid being blocked, right?”
"clever!"
Oshula snapped his fingers, "If you can do this, then at least the cooperation between the two of us will not be a pain in the **** when one plus one is less than two."
“Other than that, is there anything else I can do? Although I don’t have much experience, I will try my best to pay attention.”
Oshula was pleased with Gordon's humility and continued: "Small monsters are very annoying to us when hunting large targets.
If possible, try to help us get rid of these guys, such as blue velociraptors, big wild boars, peach-haired beasts, etc. The shooter's ammunition is very precious and should not be wasted on these minions.
If we can do this well, our cooperation will be quite pleasant, and most shooters will be happy to team up with such teammates. "
“It doesn’t sound difficult.”
“That doesn’t sound difficult?”
Oshula sneered, "I said clear, but on the premise that you pay attention to leaving the shooting area, and at the same time lead the large monster, and don't let it run directly to attack the shooter.
Otherwise, if you run to kill the small monsters, but the shooter is chased by the large monsters and screams, what's the point? "
“That’s it.” Gordon rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
“On top of this, there is also a type of swordsman that we jokingly call ‘god-like teammates’. Just listen to this kind of swordsman. Generally, only extremely experienced old hunters can do this.
They know the monster's habits and weaknesses well, and can firmly grasp the monster's attention, and by adjusting their position, guiding, forcing the monster to move, etc., they can 'send' the monster's weakness to the most convenient direction for us to shoot.
In this case, even if the shooter is a rookie, as long as he can aim and pull the trigger, he can deal very considerable damage. "
Hearing this, Gordon immediately realized that this was not something he could consider now.
He doesn’t even know the weakness of the Peach-Hair Beast King, so how can he guide him? It would be nice if it didn't cause trouble for Oshura.
Perhaps, we should ask for information about the Peach-haired Beast King.
“Senior Oshula, can you tell me more about the monster Peach-Hair Beast King? I have encountered and hunted ordinary Peach-Hair Beasts, but the Peach-Hair Beast King is..."
“Then you really asked the right person, Peach-haired Beast King, haha, we are so familiar with him.”
Oshula smiled to himself.
"The Peach Hair Beast King is not small in size. He can generally reach five to six meters in height when he stands. He is also very strong. I know that you great swordsmen like to use your strength to achieve miracles, but believe me, don't compete with them. Your whole body is Not necessarily as thick as its arms.
Also, compared to ordinary peach-haired beasts, peach-haired beast kings have a sharp weapon, and that is their tails. The tails of peach-haired beast kings are flexible and powerful, and sometimes there is a big mushroom rolled on it.
When tired, the Peach-Hair Beast King will eat the mushrooms carried on his tail to regain his strength, as if he is carrying a lunch. "
Gordon's expression became a little strange.
How do you feel?
So many monsters have a preference for mushrooms?
The big wild boar likes mushrooms, the mushroom pig likes mushrooms, the odd-faced tribe likes mushrooms, and the peach-haired beast king also likes mushrooms.
