hunt and eat

Guta's previous task list was taken by a 4-member novice group who had just left the division for less than two months.

Heading south all the way, along the tree-lined trail that was trampled out by humans, the two quickly found the spring near the target location.

This is the place where the dodo group usually drinks water, and it is also very close to their nests.

Speaking of dodos, unlike the extinct ones on the earth, the dodos in this world are larger in size and bright orange-red in feather color.

Of course, the dodo here is also endangered.

I heard that the number dropped below one hundred in the past few years, which made people sweat.

"Hey, here, here."

There was a noise overhead.

Nia and Guta looked up one after another, and saw a young man in a green cloak sitting on a branch, leaning against a tree trunk, greeting them.

Looking at each other, Guta shrugged and was the first to climb up the tree trunk.

"You are the team that will take over from us... why are there only two?" the young man asked in surprise.

Generally speaking, the rookie team is basically fully staffed, and there are rarely fewer than three people.

After all, given the general lack of strength and experience of newcomers, the number can also ensure the completion rate of tasks to a certain extent.

Without explaining the problem, Guta stood on a branch and looked down a few times.

"Captain Nick, where are your teammates?" He asked back.

Because of the task handover, the guild introduced the basic situation of the previous team on the task list in advance.

The young man in front of him should be Captain Nick.

"They're all over there to take care of the dodo flock." Nick pointed to a direction, and a rush of creaking birds could be vaguely heard coming from there.

"So, you've been guarding here for seven days?" Nia asked in surprise as she glanced at the disheveled young man.

As a girl, it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like to squat in this forest for seven days in a row.

With a forced smile helplessly, Nick said, "No way, I'm not strong enough to compare to you."

After saying that, he took a deep look at the two of them with extremely complicated expressions.

Unlike him and his companions who were generally close to adults in the team, the teenagers and girls in front of him were too young.

In addition, there is no way for only two people to take care of the dodo group 24 hours a day, so they should choose the second way to complete it, which is to directly clear the nearby dog ​​dragon group.

Really confident!

Nick didn't think it was because Guta and the others were overthinking their own abilities, because the guild would evaluate the team's possibility of completing the task before accepting the task.

Since they agreed to accept this task, it means that they have recognized the strength of this two-person team.

After making a slight gesture, he jumped off the treetop and began to lead the way.

"A so-called genius..." The young man sighed imperceptibly.

Passing through sparse bushes, the three soon found flocks of dodos in a large clearing.

"Just go straight there, it doesn't matter." Nick said with a smile.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Nia and Guta, he swaggered directly into the group of dodo birds.

The group of dodos, who were bloated and not very smart at first glance, didn't seem to be frightened or fleeing at all, they were still lying on the lawn and playing.

"what's the situation?"

Guta was at a loss.

"They're used to being protected by hunters."

Three youths who were about the same age as Nick walked out from the bushes on the side, and one of them explained a little.

"That's why it's on the verge of extinction... Is it really good to protect it like this?" Guta complained.

"We don't know much about ecological protection, so I'll leave it to you."

Nick took the task handover voucher from Guta, nodded, and led his teammates to evacuate one after another.

They haven't closed their eyes for nearly a week, and now they just want to go back to the hotel and get a good night's sleep.

"Well, it's about time to start."

Guta found a stone and spread the map on it.

This is the distribution map of monsters in the nearby area provided by the Hunter's Guild, marking the densely packed lairs and monster types.

Of course, you have to return it after the task is completed, but you are allowed to make a copy by yourself.

Chapter 23 The Unrelenting Dog Dragon King

On a sunny afternoon, the Goulong family lay lazily on a piece of sand, enjoying a rare leisure time.

The umbrella-shaped ears stood up slightly, and a layer of greasy light shone on the red and purple skin.

Except for the dog dragon king who is the leader and the three larger female dog dragons, the rest of the male dog dragons who are more than a little smaller are scattered around the periphery.

In the group of dog dragons, in order to prevent other male dog dragons from growing up to threaten their status, the dog dragon king generally does not allocate too much food to them, so most of them look malnourished.

As if hearing something, the dog dragon king in the center opened his eyelids and slightly raised his head in one direction.

"Oh? The response is quite sharp."

Guta walked out of a forest with a Taidao on his back.

The dog dragon king's collar-shaped ears suddenly stood up, and he let out a sharp roar, as if warning him not to get closer.

The dog dragon's ecological niche is not high, so under normal circumstances, it would not directly choose to fight against an opponent of unknown strength like a hunter.

But unfortunately, the purpose of Guta's trip was to fight.

"Let me tear down your house obediently."

Guta intentionally or unintentionally looked at the hidden lair covered with weeds behind the Dog Dragon King.

Although this mission can be hunted legally, it must be mastered to a certain extent. It does not mean that they can be killed indiscriminately. This will also greatly affect the union's evaluation of its own team.

Once the evaluation is too low and you are on the blacklist, you will not be able to take any good tasks in the future.

Besides, there are only two of him and Nia, and the material that can be carried is limited, no matter how many dogs and dragons are killed, they cannot carry it away.

So in front of him, the best way is to destroy the dog dragon nests near the dodo living area and force them to relocate artificially.

Sensing Guta's gaze, the Dog Dragon King knew that things could not go well. With a loud roar, the little dog dragons around him stood up one after another and looked at Guta alone.

To be honest, being stared at by so many pairs of eyes at once is quite intrusive.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed, please change your home."

The blade of the iron Taidao was raised from the opening on the side of the scabbard on the back, and with a single upward pick, it knocked away a pup dragon that was rushing towards it.

The other puppy dragons retreated a few steps in awe, but with the roar of the dog dragon king as if urging, the group of dog dragons rushed forward again.

A cold star flashed in the distance, and the leading puppy dragon was directly nailed to the ground, and a thin layer of frost gradually covered its body.

"Don't think that you are the only one with help." Guta snorted, lowered his body to avoid the pounce of a puppy dragon, flipped the blade in his hand, and repelled several dog dragons beside him again.

Relying on the effect of agility LV2, he easily bypassed the encirclement of the dog dragons and came to the front of the dog dragon king.

"Jihe·Cross Slash"

Unknowingly, the Taidao, which had completed receiving the sword again, was pulled out from the sheath on the back at high speed, bringing out the cold metal reflection.

Not to be outdone, the Dog Dragon King also threw out the long tail behind him.

The two hit each other, making a dull sound.

Guta didn't take a step back, but the dog dragon king let out a pain and took several steps back.

Half of its tail snapped off.

This was a knife that could cut even the upper jaw of Feng Piaolong at its peak. Even if it was far from the power of a decisive blow at that time, it was not something that a mere dog dragon king could resist.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, the dog dragon king did not retreat but advanced, and an iron mountain leaned towards him straight.

The blade of the sword was erected to block in front of him, Gu Tage blocked the opponent's impact, and after taking two small steps back, he slashed out with his backhand.

The dog dragon king who had no time to dodge was directly cut with a big gash.

"You are not my opponent, back off." Guta said in a rare serious manner.

Not knowing if he understood what he meant, the Dog Dragon King turned his head to look at the cave, and still stood firmly in front of him.

"Hey, it makes me look like a bad guy."

Sighing, Guta sheathed the knife.

Then, draw the knife again!

With Guta taking a step forward, the vertical cut that pulled out the dazzling knife wheel passed across the abdomen of the Dog Dragon King.

Blood lines emerged little by little, and in the next second, amidst the wailing of the Dog Dragon King, blood mixed with a small amount of internal organs gushed out from the huge wound.

The breath gradually weakened, but the dog dragon king who was still alive looked at the ancient tower, and a pair of claws stubbornly grabbed his ankle.

"Go on."

Guta whispered, and the blade in his hand lightly slashed across the dog dragon king's neck, completely understanding the other party.

This kind of scene is indispensable in the hunt where everyone puts their lives on the line.Being able to give the other party a good time is already a rare kindness.

As the dog dragon king's body gradually became colder, the surrounding dog dragons wailed a few times and fled in all directions.

Lifting the weeds covering the cave, as expected, Guta saw three small orange-red dragon eggs.

When the Dog Dragon King insisted on stopping in front of the cave, Guta had already guessed that this was the case.

Even monsters have the same emotions as humans in protecting future generations.

Putting the three eggs into the pocket, Guta returned to the Dog Dragon King and started collecting materials.

The most valuable thing on the dog dragon king is the fan-shaped ears nicknamed the "king's scarf". Together with the collection scales on some parts of the body, it can make a pretty good armor.

Of course, no matter whether it is Nia with the blue bear suit, or the ancient tower with the snow lion king suit, this set of armor with significantly weaker defense is not needed.

The collection is only for selling to the hunter guild after returning.

In addition to releasing missions, the Hunter Guild itself is also the world's largest material purchaser and supplier, almost monopolizing most monster material transactions.

"Is it okay to just let those little dog dragons go?" Niya asked hesitantly, recovering the arrow from the little dog dragon's corpse.

She is still worried about the whereabouts of these puppy dragons.

What if we go around and attack the dodo group again?

"There's no need to worry." Guta shook his head and pointed to himself, "After I killed their leader, they have already remembered my smell. With the limited courage of the dog dragon, which is bigger than the dodo bird, They're not going to stop in this area."

After collecting the last scales, Guta looked up and down at the remaining pieces of meat.

"Let's prepare lunch here, how about the barbecue?"

he suggested.

In order to facilitate hunting, they did not carry too many seasonings and cooking tools. Under these limited conditions, barbecue seemed to be the only choice.

"Stop grilling meat, this is what I had for dinner last night... I know there is another way, Guta, you can handle the meat and watch it from the side."

Nia patted her not-so-full breasts confidently.

Later in the day, Guta embraced the stewed meat dug out from the ground and feasted on it.

At that moment, he was sure that Nia's figure burst out with divine brilliance.

【Eating Dog Dragon King Stewed Meat】

[Ability to acquire Iron Mountain depends on LV1]

Guta, who was gnawing on the delicious dog dragon's thigh, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the system prompt.

【Iron Mountain by LV1】

[Use arm joints and special force methods to knock opponents into the air]

"Dog Dragon King's move?"

Guta recalled the Tie Shan Kao of the Dog Dragon King before, and felt that this skill was not bad.
