hunt and eat

No matter how many times you look at it, the night sky in the desert is so pure and breathtaking.

Those roads of sounds of nature composed of countless unknown stars, from one end of the sky to the end of the unknown, are like the constant sand of the Milky Way, making people feel their own insignificance at a glance, and even forget their own existence .

In front of the vast world, self-awareness seems to be just an illusion.

The bright moonlight shines down on the gloomy earth, covering the silent night with a lingering veil.

Accompanied by the sound of crackling firewood in the bonfire, the hunters who fell asleep at some point had completely fallen into a ball and fell into a drowsy dream.

Chapter 3 Blue Velociraptor enters...Blue Velociraptor exits

Early the next morning, Guta and the others packed their bags and started running around again.

Well, that being said, it was Snowball who worked the hardest.

After all, dragging such a carload of people, no matter how strong it is, it still needs to rest for a while every two hours.

Drowsy driving is a no-brainer!

"Where are you going?" Seeing the plains and lush forests gradually appearing in the distance, Qiaoqiao pushed the ancient pagoda beside him with his claws.

It is not the tall tropical trees like the old dense forest, but the small forest that is neither tall nor short in the suburbs of Paley.

"Well, it should almost be at the plain."

"Hey, look over there, is it Blue Velociraptor?"

The ancient tower with sharper eyes pointed to the fleeting touch of blue in the forest behind.

"These guys... want to attack us?" Guta rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Are creatures in the plains so low in vigilance?

"Just get rid of the blue speed dragon king in a while, and let the little one go. After all, we don't have a task on us, try to restrain yourself." Niya turned her head to look at her teammates who were also excited, and said with some headaches.

"I know~" X4

Not long after, when the bird car passed a low woods, several monsters sprang out from the woods on both sides one after another.

They were a few blue-bodied monsters with black stripes all over their bodies and red crowns extending backwards on top of their heads, some of them were tall monsters like Deinonychus.

With the ear-piercing roar, the yellow beak full of fine fangs began to open and close continuously, and the pink tongue inside could be vaguely seen.

"This color is gaudy, isn't it too conspicuous?" Speaking of which, this was the first time Guta had seen a blue speed dragon.

Although they had seen Bai Sulong and Huang Sulong before, in the final analysis, there are still certain differences between them, and today is the real thing.

"Strange, where's their leader?"

Jumping off the bird car, Guta scratched his head strangely with his hands empty.

The next moment, with the shaking of the bushes behind him, a blue velociraptor, which was much larger in size, suddenly jumped out, and bit down on Guta's neck with a beak-shaped mouth full of fangs.

Unexpectedly, as if he was a prophet, Guta suddenly turned his head, and with a cruel smile, he looked at the blue speed dragon king who was falling straight behind him.

"I lied to you!"

The next moment, the iron-black fist that was strengthened by [Armed Forces] hit the head of the Blue Velociraptor.

After the crisp bone shattering sound, the head of the Blue Velociraptor King exploded like a watermelon. Driven by inertia, he slid across Guta's side and fell powerlessly three meters away.

"Then, is there anyone else who wants to try it?" Guta looked around with a half-smile, and there were far more blue velociraptors present than the ones that jumped out.

In the surrounding woods, there are about ten of them that he can perceive.

However, no matter how many weak chickens gather, they are still just weak chickens.

Huddling among the weak for warmth will not provide the slightest sense of security.

After all, the blue velociraptor was not a particularly courageous creature. After realizing the threat of the ancient tower, they turned around and disappeared into the woods on both sides without even looking at the former blue velociraptor king who fell on the ground.

"What a ruthless guy, let's just leave." Guta grabbed the neck of Lan Sulongwang's corpse, lifted it up with one hand, and looked it up and down.

"In terms of strength and speed, it seems to be a little stronger than Bai Sulong and Huang Sulong, but apart from biting and clawing, it seems that there are no other special attack methods."

While stripping the material with a knife, Guta clicked on the original fragments he just captured in the consciousness space.

After all, it is a new monster, so I don't know if it will give it special abilities.

But it's a pity, maybe it's too ordinary, or maybe the strength of the Blue Speed ​​Dragon King is too weak. In short, after looking around, let alone special abilities, there are almost no ordinary abilities that can be seen.

In the end, Guta casually plundered a little power, and hastily ended the activation of the talent.

"Although the Blue Velociraptor King is a little weaker, the ring bag, crown and sharp claws on it are not bad materials. Of course, this is for novice hunters... For us, this kind of material is also sold to That’s all for the guild.” Weiwei helped process the material while explaining the valuable parts of the monster.

"I don't know how the price level is in East Doruma... With so many hunters, we won't miss the mission, right?" Guta was a little worried for a while.

There are tens of thousands of hunters in Dongduoruma, and there are many high-level elite hunters and G hunters among them. Can they really grab the mission from those big guys?

"What are you thinking? Where do you think East Doruma is?" Weiwei gave Guta an angry look, and said with a look of country bumpkins: "That's the headquarters of the guild, which connects almost the entire continent. , There are thousands of tasks released every day, and it is impossible to finish them all."

"Have you been there?" Although Weiwei sounded like an experienced person, Guta vaguely remembered that this guy had been working behind closed doors before, and hadn't left Pale at all?

"Ah, this... Didn't I listen to my father before?"

"..."

They moved out the dead father, what else can he say?

"Okay, you two, it's not too far away from Dongdoruma, won't it be clear when we arrive?" Nia smoothed things out in the middle as always.

"It's useless to think so much now."

"That's right." Guta nodded, picked up the packaged materials, and jumped into the car, "Snowball, speed up, come early and we'll have dinner early."

Although Guta has already raised his [Beast Language] level to LV3, and can basically use syllables to communicate with other creatures, he still speaks human language at this moment, because he knows that Snowball can understand it.

"Guga~ Guga Guga!" Snowball yelled loudly several times, his fleshy wings fluttered, and then he started to run wildly.

Under its pull, the speed of the entire bird car increased to sixty miles in an instant.

"According to this speed, counting the rest time in the middle, we should be able to arrive in the morning."

Looking at the scenery passing by at high speed on both sides, Guta leaned against the car door and said in a low voice.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

……

Running all the way, because it is on the plains, the line of sight is relatively clear, so Guta and the others can maintain a relatively fast speed even at night.

I don't know what kind of chocobo Xueqiu is. Even after pulling the car all day, it is still full of energy at this time, even a little excited.

Finally, when the first rays of the sun gradually rose from the horizon, the team finally arrived at their destination.

The headquarters of the guild, the place of glory for thousands of hunters - East Doruma.

"Is this East Doruma?"

In front of the ancient pagoda, in the middle of the extremely wide and huge valley, stood a huge metal gate almost 70 meters high.

Although the surface is dull and even covered with countless hideous scratches and potholes, it is still awe-inspiring.

Because that is the gate of Dongduoluma, and it once faced the fortifications of multiple ancient dragons at its peak, that's all.

……

Chapter 4 The City of Hunters - East Doruma

The guild city East Doruma is located approximately in the center of the mainland, in the eastern part of the Shreid region.

The whole city was developed by the ancestors in the mountains on both sides of the strait.

The main source of power for the city is the inexhaustible ocean wind, or giant windmills that line the streets and valleys.

Because it is close to the sea, the surrounding rich sea resources ensure the food and economic sources that the residents depend on for survival.

The richness of the natural environment, coupled with the move-in of the Hunters Guild headquarters, led to a sharp rise in defense power. In recent centuries, this city can be said to have developed by leaps and bounds, so that it has the current size and mass.

Of course, there is still a considerable part of the reason, thanks to the leadership skills of the Great Elder.

As the most powerful leader in the history of the guild, he has always followed the life creed that empty talk is useless.

Under his leadership, facilities such as the guard corps, the ancient dragon observation station, the public wine field and the arena have grown in an orderly manner, and the entire stronghold built on the mountain has gradually developed into a super-large city that other strongholds cannot match.

And the huge city gate where Guta and the others are located at this time is the first fortification of East Doruma - the counterattack gate.

This is a large facility built along a mountain surrounded by a wide valley.

In order to face the monsters that invaded from time to time, a large number of large-scale city defense weapons such as dragon-striking guns and dragon-killing cannons were simultaneously set up on the walls at both ends of the huge city gate. There are also guards stationed and rotated at ordinary times.

Just like at this moment, noticing the approach of Guta and the others, a group of soldiers wearing knight armor rode chocobos and drove out from the passages on both sides of the city gate.

The counterattack door is usually not opened.

Considering the manpower required for each activation, this is a large-scale fortification that will only be opened temporarily when facing creatures of the order of ancient dragons

Most of the time, people enter and exit through the passages on both sides.

Of course, even the relatively "narrow" side doors are almost as wide as four lanes.

"Identity...the purpose of the visit." The leading soldier who couldn't see his face shouted loudly.

Because of wearing a closed helmet that completely covered the face, Guta and the others were unable to observe more details except that it was a female voice.

"Hello, we are hunters from the stronghold of Dede Village. We are here for..." Nia hurried to thousands and began to explain.

The ancient pagoda was a little bored at the side, just looking up at the corrosion marks on the high city wall.

"This kind of trace of destruction, why is it a bit like..." Guta was thinking about it, but suddenly there was a warning voice from the female guard behind him.

"After dawn, I hope you can go to the guild to register as soon as possible. This is different from other strongholds. There is a lot of traffic every day. It is also for the convenience of management. I hope you can understand."

"Okay, thank you for your reminder, we will go to check-in at dawn." Nia nodded.

The team continued to walk in, and quickly bypassed the fortifications full of fences at the door, and entered the city from the passage on the left.

After walking about ten meters inside, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Huh, this place is so big, much bigger than Paley." Guta scanned the huge street in front of him back and forth, as well as the strange buildings of different shapes lined up on both sides, and whistled involuntarily.

"Don't be like this, it's not good to wake people up at night."

Patting Guta on the shoulder angrily, Nia also looked around curiously.

The ancient pagoda has noticed that there is a rather large building near the corner of the street gate, and even the only passage leading to the city gate extends from there.

At the door of the building, there is a line of big characters written vaguely.

【Gulong Observatory】

"This is the famous Gulong Observatory?" Weiwei walked in slowly and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of pictures and notice boards posted near the wall.

"Changes in the price of Blue Velociraptor's material: the airbag part is raised by 1.5%, the sharp claws are reduced by 5%, and the crown remains unchanged." Weiwei read it out with style.

"It seems that there will be a unified price for monster materials here, so formal." Guta also came over, stretched his neck to look at the various monster material information on it, and then pointed to the far right A huge wooden board almost four or five meters high on the side.

There are several portraits of monsters of different sizes on it, and there are corresponding things that seem to be maps on the side.

"It will also provide the movement path of the ancient dragon in the near future, which is a bit powerful."

Observing ancient dragons is not an easy task.

Not to mention that the place where the ancient dragon passes will cause the corresponding natural disasters and the escape of local monsters. Even if you simply observe the ancient dragon from a distance, you may be attacked by the sensitive ancient dragon at any time.

The danger is quite great.

It would be fine if it was a mild-tempered Gu Long, but if it was a bloodthirsty one like Ji Mo, once he was targeted, he might not even have a chance to survive.

"It's strange, why do you feel that there are no people living in the houses next to you?" Guta scanned around and found that the nearby two-story houses with red paint on the top seemed to be in a state of wide open doors. It doesn't look like a living person.

Is there a housing glut?

Nia was the first to react to this, "This should be the rumored [Battle Street], so these houses are all empty."

"What do you mean?"

Guta looked at her suspiciously.

"As the name suggests, [Battle Street] is a venue specially used for hunters to meet incoming monsters. Of course, the monsters here mainly refer to ancient dragons."

Nia, who had done a considerable amount of homework in advance, began to talk.
