hunt and eat

The milky white soup is mixed with slightly pink soft and tender dragon meat, which brings out a large piece of fragrant and peculiar taste, which makes everyone move their index fingers.

"Dragon Meat Bone Soup, let's have a try." Nia greeted.

Not to mention the three Sanji brothers and sisters who were gnawing meat and drinking soup with intoxicated faces, and Guta was holding a bowl the size of a washbasin, mouthfuling vermicelli full of gravy.

The smooth taste, coupled with the unbelievably rich and peculiar meaty aroma, made him unable to stop at all.

Soon, the vermicelli in the bowl was eaten up, and Guta stared at the remaining dragon meat in the soup bucket in a blink of an eye.

Not caring about the still hot temperature, he took a mouthful of thick soup and a mouthful of dragon meat, eating it with great enjoyment.

In the end, there were about four to five catties of dragon meat and half a pot of soup left, and Guta ate them all by himself.

Chapter 32 Cute Chocobo

At the dawn of the sky, when the light filled the world again, the figures of Nia and Guta appeared at the assembly point of the outpost of Paley.

This is the only place where you can rent a chocobo as a means of transportation.

Speaking of chocobos, it is a bird that is as tall as a person and covered with fluffy feathers. Because of its cute appearance, excellent running speed and load-bearing ability, it has received unanimous praise from hunters.

The main reason for renting a chocobo is to save time on the road.

Sooty Mountain is nearly a day and a half away from Paley, and that's on a bike.God knows how long it will take to walk on two legs.

"What about people?"

Guta looked around, but didn't see Weiwei's tall figure.

"Why don't you wait, it's useless to be anxious now." Niya comforted the impatient Guta, and sat down on a relatively flat stone.

Guta took down the bag from his waist, grabbed a handful of fried rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

These are the snacks he bought specially at the hotel yesterday. The taste is similar to that of the earth, but I don't know if it is because of the pure nature or the processing method. The fried rice in this world has a richer flavor, and it is not chewy when chewed.

"Guga~"

Suddenly, a head covered with snow-white fluff emerged from the bushes behind him and plunged into the fried rice pocket.

Guta turned his head slowly, grabbed the opponent's chubby head expressionlessly, and slowly pulled it up.

It was a relatively rare pure white chocobo, its mouth was still babbling, and its cheeks were covered with crumbs of fried rice.

"Guga?" Chocobo blinked his eyes in a daze, wanting to lower his head and continue pecking at the rice, but was unable to move forward at all under the control of the ancient tower's huge force.

"It must be good to see that you are so fat." Gu Tapi said with a half-smile, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, shining coldly.

"Guga! Gugagu~"

Sensing the murderous intent, the chubby chocobo flapped its wings twice, and hid behind Nia without thinking.

Guta approached from the side, and the guy immediately turned half a circle around Nia, with a pair of big round eyes carefully staring at this evil human being through the girl's arms.

"Okay Guta, it's just a bag of fried rice, don't bother with this kid." Nia pushed away Guta who wanted to pluck the chocobo, and touched the head of the chocobo.

The fluffy hand, coupled with the chubby body and round head of this chocobo, immediately aroused the girl's love.

"Whose cutie are you?" Nia said dotingly as she rubbed Chocobo's cheeks with both hands.

The latter raised his head comfortably, and the two watery Kazilan's big eyes narrowed into a line, signaling the other party to increase his strength.

"Huh~huh"

At this moment, a person who was almost forgotten suddenly appeared.

Gu Ta looked at Weiwei, who was carrying a bunch of things in big and small bags, panting, and twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly.

Do you think we are going on an outing?

Guta felt that bringing her would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of this mission.

"Hey, I'm still angry about what happened yesterday~" Weiwei put her arms around Guta's neck and smiled like an uncle.

It's just that the uncle won't have such a magnificent mountain on his chest.

Feeling the rich touch from his shoulders, Guta pushed the other away with an unnatural expression.

Weiwei didn't think it was a big deal, for a carefree girl like her, this bit of physical contact wasn't too outrageous.

"Wei Wei, you have so many things, we can't take them away." Nia glanced at the various collection equipment piled up on the floor, and spread her hands helplessly.

"Ah? Don't you still have you? Three chocobos should be enough." Weiwei blinked her eyes and spoke hesitantly.

"I want to bring the supplies on the road." Guta pointed to the big bag on his body, and then nodded Nia with his head, "Nia wants to bring arrows and ammunition, and at the same time leave some space for storing the collected material."

"We don't have extra space to bring you these messy things," Guta snorted.

"Then what should I do, I can't just throw it here, I spent a lot of money to get it." Weiwei was unhappy, and said with her arms crossed.

"Weiwei, there should be a storage service in the camp, you should ask about it later." At the critical moment, Nia found a compromise.

"Hey~, okay, okay." Weiwei stretched her face, but finally nodded in agreement.

Although her job is a blacksmith, she often deals with hunters after all, knowing that this is not the time to be willful.

Every hunt and mission of a hunter is life-threatening!

Not even the slightest mistake can be tolerated.

The three of them walked towards the rental place of the chocobo, and the fat white chocobo followed them chirping, touching Nia's hand with its head from time to time.

Nia also stroked its big head cooperatively, and the latter let out a cheerful chirping sound as soon as it arched its head.

"Welcome, welcome, do you want to rent a chocobo?"

Before reaching under the tent that said "Chocobo Rental Office", the sharp-eyed management staff took the initiative to come over.

He rubbed his hands together, glanced at the three of them, and his gaze finally settled on the tall and tall Weiwei.

"This one must be the captain."

"What bad eyes? I'm the captain." Guta stood forward dissatisfied.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The businessman rolled his eyes, glanced at the strangely shaped giant sword behind the ancient tower, and complimented him: "It's my eyesight, I think it's true, just based on the appearance of the sword behind your Excellency, I'm afraid You are no longer an ordinary person, disrespect and disrespect."

Guta squinted his eyes to accept the flattery, and lifted his chin proudly towards Weiwei.

Are you a kid?so easy to fool...

Weiwei was a little speechless, but then she realized that this guy was really only 13 years old.

This world is so unfair~

Weiwei was sighing in her heart, and Niya stood up on the side and asked politely: "Hi, we are going to carry out missions in Sooty Mountain. How many days would you like to see?"

The three of them, including Weiwei, are going out to perform missions for the first time, and they are not very accurate in terms of distance and time estimation, so they still need to rely on the judgment of professionals.

"Smoky Mountain? The distance is medium. The specific time depends on what tasks you perform." The businessman analyzed objectively with his chin raised.

"We are carrying out the task of hunting high-ranking dragon species."

"What?"

The businessman was stunned and directly pulled out a few beards.

He looked at the three people in front of him, staring wide-eyed for a moment.

"You didn't frighten me?"

No wonder the businessman has such an expression. It’s not that no one has done the usual task of hunting high-ranking dragons, but those are either multi-group cooperation or well-known elite teams, and the three hunters in front of him are all three hairy kids to put it bluntly. .

Just relying on them... to hunt high-ranking dragon species?

He shook his head vigorously.

"It's true, but the target has been seriously injured. This is our mission contract." Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Nia anxiously took out the mission scroll from her pocket and handed it to the businessman.

After reading the task book carefully, the businessman almost exploded with enthusiasm when he raised his head again, staring at the ancient tower standing in the middle.

"Hey, this must be a potential member of the ancient dragon investigation team that was widely rumored a few days ago, what a disrespect."

While talking, he turned his head and roared into the tent.

"Little ones, bring the best batch of chocobos here!"

……

Chapter 33 Lightning Entangling and Gluttony Qi

Half a minute later, Guta and Weiwei left the camp in chocobos, which were half a head taller than ordinary ones of the same kind, with complicated and unspeakable expressions on their faces.

"Your reputation is really useful." Weiwei sighed.

"Yes, yes." Guta nodded in agreement.

It was the first time that he discovered that the identity of the Gulong group's seed was so reliable.

After all, he is not a native of this world, after all, he still doesn't understand how special the people and things linked to Gu Long are.

Behind them, Nia rode on the white chocobo who was acting coquettishly with her, and looked around curiously.

Out of love for this white chocobo, Nia declined the boss's proposal to change the head, and named it Snowball.

Because the other party is chubby, and the fur color is rare pure white, it looks like a snowball from a distance.

"Look, you are hunting the White Velociraptor over there!"

Nia shouted suddenly.

Guta looked intently, and at a distance of about fifty meters from them, a group of four was besieging and suppressing the white monster in the center.

Its appearance is similar to Oviraptorus, but its body is obviously taller and bigger, with a blue-green crown that looks like fins and horns on its head.

With a wave of his hand, Bai Sulong Wang's sharp claws pushed back the hunter who was trying to attack the side, and his eyes glanced at the ancient tower and his party in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's been discovered, and it's probably going to run away next." Guta said to himself, holding the chocobo's rein.

Sure enough, after that, Bai Sulong Wang was slashed by a big sword, swung his tail round, and directly threw away the three hunters.

Immediately afterwards, it roared triumphantly, exposing its densely packed small sharp teeth, and shot away against the light crossbow of the huntress on the tree.

Shaking his head, Guta turned his mount and didn't intend to contact the opponent.

That's when they're depressed, and there's no need to ask for boredom.

At the time when the gluttonous energy did not come up, Guta's mind was still quite active.

After all, he was considered an adult in his previous life, so he knew a little bit about the world.

Nia and Weiwei nodded, and controlled the Chocobo to avoid the woodland where the other party was.

……

"Like the situation just now, how many?"

After walking about two or three miles, the ancient tower on Chocobo's back suddenly asked.

Weiwei nodded, shook her head again, and explained: "Among novice hunters, the probability of mission failure is quite high. Of course, if they haven't given up this job after a year, the mission completion rate will still be higher or lower." There is a certain guarantee, otherwise they would have starved to death this year, and the trade union is not doing charity."

"Where are those elite teams?" Nia asked curiously.

"They..." Weiwei scratched the back of her head, and spread her hands helplessly, "I'm a stinky blacksmith, so how do I know their situation?"

"But they should be quite rich, and they are very generous, um."

Weiwei nodded as she recalled the elite team she had received during the days when her father was still alive and her reputation hadn't rotted.

"Shut up, something is approaching." Guta's ears moved suddenly, and he frowned as he looked at the forest where frightened birds were flying in the distance.

Nia also immediately took off the heavy crossbow behind her back and released the safety valve on the crossbow.

Only Weiwei looked left and right, feeling like an outsider, and in the end she just symbolically clenched the hammer that was still shining with thunder.

After getting the new weapon, Guta threw the bird-dragon jade-fused hammer back to Weiwei in disgust, and let her handle it by herself.

Compared with the regular hunter's sword, Weiwei is more used to using a hammer, so this time she also brought it out as a weapon for self-defense.

"coming."

As soon as the words fell, groups of white-skinned monsters rushed out of the forest.

The fine scales are covered with blue stripes, and the beak-like mouth opens and closes, revealing sharp teeth.

In the lead was an extraordinarily tall monster leader who roared at the ancient tower provocatively.
