hunt and eat

Guta nodded.

"Then let's begin."

After saying that, Layton turned the sledgehammer in his hand and rushed directly to the ancient tower that was in a posture.

Before the people arrived, the hammer arrived first, and the hammer head, shining with black iron luster, slammed down from top to bottom.

An unpretentious vertical cut came out from the side, knocking the hammer head in one direction, rubbing against the shoulder of the ancient tower, and sank into the wooden deck under his feet.

"Captain! Be careful, don't smash the boat!" The helmsman who was watching the battle protested.

"Sorry sorry, pay attention next time."

Layton dodged Guta's side kick with a short body, pulled the hammer back from the ground, and took a few small steps back.

"Have you ever used a Taidao before?" Layton looked at the ancient tower which was slowly sheathing the sword in surprise.

This action of closing the knife doesn't look like it's the first time it's been used.

"I've seen it in my dream...probably"

Guta fooled the past vaguely.

When he was on earth, in order to taste the local delicacies, he once stayed in Japan for half a year and learned the basics of kendo in a local dojo for a period of time.

That gym focuses on Xinyinliu, so what I learn the most is Juhe and sword drawing.

That's why he chose Taidao as his weapon.

"Strange boy." Layton could hear the other party's insincere words, but he didn't intend to investigate too much.

With a turn of the hammer, the waist suddenly exerted strength, and Layton made a horizontal swing with both hands of the hammer.

Almost at the same time, the Taidao behind Guta was unsheathed again, the blade turned an arc, and met the heavy hammer swung in the form of a sideways slash.

The moment the weapons collided, sparks flew everywhere.

A crisp and loud roar resounded through the entire deck.

Guta rolled back several meters in embarrassment, stood up again with difficulty, and looked at his new weapon with some distress.

Fortunately, no major damage.

There is not a small gap between my weapon and the opponent's hammer in terms of weight, so that I suffered a big loss in the duel just now.

[Detected a peak breakthrough in the host's slashing ability]

[Breakthrough to LV5]

[Acquisition ability, Iai LV1]

It seems that the cassock slashing that I just did was performed at a super level, reaching the level of slashing LV5.

Even the Iai Kendo that I learned in my previous life has been consolidated into an ability by the system.

What a pleasant surprise.

"Iai? Try it..."

Just do what you say, seeing Captain Layton jumping up high, swinging the heavy hammer down in his hand, Guta took a step back to dodge, and took the iron blade in his hand again.

"Jihe - See Cut"

When Layton's hammer danced in front of him, the ancient tower moved instantly.

The long and thick sword was pulled out from the scabbard, one step forward, and Guta slashed in front of Commander Layton's face.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Layton knew that it was too late to block with the hammer, so he simply abandoned the hammer, and his two big hands joined together instantly, and he caught the sword above his head firmly with his empty hand.

There is not much difference in strength between the two, and neither can advance an inch for a while.

But after all, Layton's experience was more profound than Guta's, and he just raised his leg at random, and kicked the latter's calf.

Under the unstable center of gravity, the boy directly knelt on the deck with his right leg.

Before he could stand up, Layton's thick fist had already hovered in front of the throat.

"Ah, I lost." Guta gasped and stood up slowly.

He didn't feel depressed at all, after all, he didn't think he could win at first.

"Are you still coming?" Layton wiped his nose, looking at the young man who was slowly sheathing his knife.

"No, I'm hungry."

Guta shook his head, and looked regretfully at the big fishing rod not far away.

Immediately afterwards, his nose moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth began to droole unconsciously.

He smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.

Chapter 18 After the delicious fish steak, it is the doomed parting

In the dining room, Guta holds a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left, and slices the juicy and tender fish fillet bit by bit.

Slowly cut off a small piece of king swordfish fillet and put it in your mouth with a fork.Chew carefully.

A sense of just right fat, accompanied by the rich flavor of sea fish, is transmitted directly from the taste buds to the brain.

"good to eat!"

Guta narrowed his eyes happily, and unconsciously spread himself on the back of the chair.

"The most delicious part of king swordfish is the belly in the middle of the fish." The head chef explained, smiling and handing over a bottle of seasoning.

"Concentrated sea salt, try adding some?"

Guta nodded in gratitude, took the small bottle, and sprinkled a little white salt flower with a flick of his wrist.

Use a fork to coat both sides of the steak with sea salt, gutta and taste again.

This time, the greasy feeling that gradually surfaced after eating was completely covered by the taste of sea salt, and at the same time it better showed the original flavor of the fish steak.

Don't underestimate any chef, they all have their own unique skills.

Guta thought silently in his heart.

"Speaking of which, Captain Layton, how long will it take us to sail to the mainland?"

Nia stirred the milky white soup stewed from the fish bones with a spoon, a little absent-minded.

She herself couldn't tell if she was apprehensive or excited, maybe both.

"If there are no accidents in the middle, it will take about a week." Layton took the swordfish sandwich specially prepared for him by the chef, and took a bite, "When we send you to Paley, we will also return to the Federation of Trade Unions Reported."

Paley, the mainland is the closest and the largest port city to the surrounding radiation islands.

Due to its superior geographical location and the relatively controllable strength of the monsters in the surrounding area, new hunters who come to the mainland from other islands every year will choose this place as the first stop of their adventure journey.

"We haven't been together for a long time, and we are going to say goodbye to Uncle Layton again." After all, Nia is still young, and she is not very used to this short separation.

"Hahaha..." Layton touched the girl's little head and smiled freely, "Hunters, such things are always inevitable, just enjoy your hunting and adventure."

"Yeah." Niya nodded, looked at Guta who was still gnawing on the fish steak, drinking a few sips of fish soup from time to time, and let out a long sigh.

It would be great if he could be as heartless as this guy, and he wouldn't have to think about so many things.

Whether it is the sale of materials after hunting, or the maintenance and replacement of equipment, money or high-level materials are needed.

Guta knew how to eat every day, so he probably didn't think about these problems, and in the end he took everything by himself.

Worried about the future, Nia drank the fish soup one bite at a time.

"By the way, didn't I say to use the material of the frost-winged wind dragon to make you a heavy crossbow last time?"

Layton took out a snow-white heavy crossbow from under the table beside him.

"Because I couldn't find a suitable enhanced heavy crossbow temporarily, I directly modified it on your heavy crossbow. The main thing is to use the ice bag and dragon tendons of the Frostwing Wind Drifter to strengthen the freezing attack and single-shot power."

Layton explained the general effect, and handed the heavy crossbow to the excited girl beside him.

"Thank you, Uncle Layton!" Nia hugged Layton happily, carefully picked up her new weapon, and looked it over carefully.

Originally, Niya's heavy crossbow used a relatively rare material of mahogany and red armored beasts, so the entire body of the crossbow showed a bright red color.

But after Layton's transformation, although the main frame of the heavy crossbow has not been adjusted too much, because of the embedded ice bags and dragon scales, the appearance has completely turned into a snow white.

The original mahogany material can be vaguely seen, showing a little bit of rose-like pale pink, but it is not conspicuous.

Nia touched the heavy crossbow with slightly cold hands, playing with it happily.

"Choose a name, Nia." Layton said cheerfully.

"Let's call it...the Frost Floating Rose," Nia said softly, stroking the rose-like texture on the crossbow's body.

"Qiangwei, that's a good name."

Layton thought about the appearance of this heavy crossbow, and felt that it quite fit its image.

"By the way, Guta..." Suddenly, Layton thought of something and patted the boy beside him.

"Your Tai Dao is still a basic model after all. If you need to strengthen it in the future, you can go to a blacksmith named Weiwei in Pale and say that I introduced it."

Layton stroked his rough chin, thought for a while, and added: "That's my old friend's granddaughter, she's probably two years older than you. Don't look at her young age, but her forging skills are absolutely Nothing to say!"

Nodding his head, Guta glanced at the unpretentious Odachi under the table.

It really needs to be strengthened, among other things, at least the overall weight must go up.

I have suffered a loss of not enough weight once.

……

In the next few days, the transport ship sailed smoothly, neither encountered a storm, nor did any sea monsters with long eyes attack the ship.

That is, some small birds and beasts, perhaps smelling the smell of frost-winged dragon meat stored on the ship, rushed to the food storage.

In a few days, the corpses of birds and beasts killed by self-throwing nets can be piled up into a hill.

Most of the meat of these birds and beasts is woody and hard to chew, and it also has a strange sour taste. Except for Guta, which has its own system to improve the taste, almost no one can swallow it.

In the end, there was no choice but to throw them all into the sea, and a large-sized megalodon shark was attracted as a result.

If Layton hadn't acted decisively and used the ballista on the ship to scare the opponent away, I'm afraid there would be a real fight.

Unless it is unavoidable at sea, no one would choose to fight such a huge marine creature.

It is one thing to be able to win the fight, but it is another thing to be able to keep the ship.

Once the ship is destroyed, no matter how powerful the hunter is, being trapped at sea is a death sentence.

Seven days later, the group finally arrived at the first stop of the voyage, which was also the final stop of Guta.

The initial city of the new hunters of the islands - the port city of Paley.

This is a big city with a population of over [-]. People and boats are coming and going on the pier, which is very lively.

Forget about Guta, it was the first time for Nia to see so many people at the same time, and she felt cramped for a while.

"Let's go."

Guta took the initiative to pull Nia and walked down the lowered plank.

"You will have to rely on yourselves for the rest of the journey." Layton greeted and signaled to pull the anchor and set sail.

"Well, see you next time, Uncle Layton." Guta and Nia waved their hands and stepped onto the pier full of expectations.

The encounter between hunters is short-lived after all.

Leaning on the railing of the boat, quietly watching the two leaving figures carrying huge canvas bags, Layton shook his head and showed his white teeth.

"Well, with the kid Guta around, nothing can happen."

……

Chapter 19 Are all Kanban girls dressed so revealingly?

On the pier, there are workers pulling boats and unloading goods and fish catches piled up everywhere.

Of course, there are also occasional boys and girls who look similar to Nia, with embarrassed faces.

Seeing each other's strange reactions, Xu Shi looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.

"What's your name?"
