Chapter 813: Air Combat Light Crossbow?
Anhil sighed and reluctantly accepted the fact that he had a younger sister on a legal level.
“Come with me.” He patted the back of Xuxu’s head and walked to another training ground with better facilities.
Xu Xu followed happily.
“Damn it, envy!” Gale muttered through gritted teeth.
Gordon looked at her with a smile and joked, "Wouldn't it be more fulfilling if you work hard and **** 'Ancil's sister' as your disciple?"
"Huh?!" Gale clenched his fists, "You're right, I'm on fire when I step on the horse!"
The process of basic testing went smoothly.
This part mainly revolves around physical fitness. Physical training is always the top priority for those newcomers who have not yet become official hunters, and it is also the key to widening the gap between ordinary people and hunters.
The result is unexpected, but also reasonable.
Xunxu's physical ability is obviously not at the level of ordinary people. Of course, it cannot be compared with Gordon and the others, but it is almost at the level of a novice hunter.
The harsh living environment of Shuhai has created all of this, just like the teenagers who helped work in the fields since they were young, they must be stronger than the children in the city.
What's more, the alchemy academy she once stayed at also arranged physical training.
This result satisfied Hilda.
Improving physical fitness is the most time-consuming, and most students who enter the training camp will also be screened out at this stage. Their physical fitness and talent are not enough to support them in becoming hunters.
Xuanxu can skip this step and directly learn hunting knowledge and techniques with senior students.
After obtaining this part of the results, Hilda modified the test content and conducted further research.
Subsequently, it was discovered that Xuanxu's qualities in some aspects had indeed reached the level of a formal hunter, and even exceeded the level of most hunters.
The two most outstanding points are pace and tracking ability. Of course, there is a prerequisite - in a dense forest environment.
If she were to run freely in a primeval forest like the Sea of Trees, only Hilda could catch up with her. Others, including small-arms hunters like Hayata, who had an advantage in speed, would be left behind.
The same is true for tracking.
From what Hilda said, as long as you add the skills of using weapons and other abilities to fight monsters head-on, Xuanxu is already a very good hunter - limited to the dense forest environment.
The test was actually over at this point, but out of curiosity, Gordon suggested letting Xuanxu show off her martial arts skills again.
She said she could use a flute, hammer and bow.
Even the hunter training camp in East Doruma obviously does not have such things as flutes and hammers. Hilda gave her an insect stick for training as a substitute.
Hunter can't use the functions of the insect stick, so he can only use the monster target as the target to demonstrate the stick technique.
This aspect can only be said to be okay, at the level of a senior hunter student, but in order to adapt to the weapons used by hunters, many habits have to be overthrown and remade.
The archery skills are similar. The residents of the Sea of Trees mostly use short, lightweight bows.
In fact, except for monster hunters, no one would use a giant bow that could be as tall as a person when unfolded, and the arrows it fired could be compared to short spears. The bow and arrow skills she had mastered before were of little significance.
But the eyesight was recognized by Hilda, which is the basic condition for becoming a shooter.
Just when Hilda was thinking about how to arrange the crickets more appropriately.
Anhil suddenly raised a question that was ignored by them, "Xunxue, can you take off this parasitic armor?"
Everyone was stunned, but no one thought about it except Mrs. Sterling, who raised her eyebrows.
Xuanxiao nodded, then shook his head, "You can take off some parts, but if you can't do it for too long, the parasitic armor may die in two or three days."
Some parts of the parasitic armor have become symbiotic with the cricket and have become part of her body, such as the butterfly wings. The remaining parts that can be removed also need to rely on her body to provide nutrients and cannot leave her body for a long time.
In other words, Xuanxu cannot equip other armor.
This parasitic armor is different from armor in the ordinary sense. Not only does it not affect Xuanxua's movements, it can even provide a considerable degree of assistance.
For example, the pair of gleaming butterfly wings can be spread out and flapped. Although it cannot fly directly with the cricket, it can have a similar effect to gliding and can easily provide leverage when flying in the air.
This makes her agility in complex terrain environments such as dense forests unmatched by anyone. At least Gordon and the others cannot do such a thing as jumping between branches.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, the defense performance is limited
Handwise comparison, it’s almost like a “Papilly Suit”.
“Is there any way to strengthen this thing?” Anhil asked bluntly.
"Is there a way?" Xuanxu scratched his head, "Xuanxu doesn't know."
“When you have the opportunity to return to the Sea of Trees in the future, go to your teachers and seniors and ask. Considering your parasitic armor as a starting point, there are not many suitable development directions.
Forget about heavy weapons and hunting bows, your body shape is not suitable, and heavy crossbows are not good either. You can’t withstand the recoil.”
After what An Xil said, Xuanxu entered a state of despair.
She had wanted to try the heavy crossbow, but the residents of the Sea of Trees lacked such powerful long-distance attack methods.
Being glared at by Mrs. Stirling, Anhil had no choice but to say some good things.
“But you are also very compatible with some weapons, such as the insect stick. Ordinary insect stick users cannot flap their wings in the air and change directions like you. You may also try using double swords.
In case of long-range weapons”
“Xu Xue is simply born for light crossbows!” Gale interrupted Ancier, “Defensive performance? What the **** is defensive performance? As long as it’s not touched by monsters, it’s nothing!
Look at my sister’s armor, it’s even brittle than yours when you take off your pants! "
"If you take off your pants again, it will be immoral." Anxier said coldly.
"Don't talk!" Squeezing Anxil away, Gale continued to grab Xuanxu's shoulders and said: "Xuanxu remember what sister said, since you can't pursue comprehensiveness, then pursue 'a little breakthrough'. This is what sister said. creed!
Your little wings are particularly useful in complex environments, so let’s specialize in this area, desert? volcano? Snowy mountains? Isn’t it okay if we don’t take on the mission over there?
Let's go into the woods! Are there too few hunting grounds with complex terrain?
Why does my sister say that you are suitable for the light crossbow? Because the light crossbow is the most flexible weapon. Different crossbows and different ammunition can adapt to almost any situation. It can be used for stance, guerrilla, and it is not unreasonable to use shotguns to pretend to be an avant-garde. Can! "
“This last one is not allowed!” Hilda quickly added.
Gail continued in an excited tone, "We have thought of a tactic. Sister, I can't do it with my ability, but you, Xuanxu, may be able to implement it.
That is a three-dimensional attack!
Your ability to jump between tree branches is very flashy on a swordsman, but it's different with a light crossbow. You can get more shooting angles, more varied shooting positions, and more vital points such as the back of the neck. Can be easily attacked.
At the end of a hunt, the battle may be over before the monster can see where you are! "
Gordon scratched his chin. He had seen someone use a similar style - the light crossbow Shilan of the Ryūryin Cross Team. That guy may not be able to move among the branches, but jumping around is very suitable.
“Air combat light crossbow?” Anhil was obviously thinking in the same direction.
"You mean Longliyuan's aerial combat style?" Gale curled his lips, "It's a bit similar, but Xuanxu can obviously do it better, much better!"
Anhil fell into silence.
Although he felt unhappy, he had to admit that Gale's concept of "a little breakthrough" was more suitable for being a teacher.
