hunt and eat

I also don't want to follow other people's instructions step by step like a puppet.

Looking at Guta's firm eyes and dissatisfied expression, Cassius suddenly realized that his step might have gone astray.

Although it seems unreasonable, the young man with great potential in front of him probably understands it better than anyone else.

His own layout seems to have had the opposite effect.

Sighing inwardly, Cassius slowly took out the small silver-gray hammer from his pocket.

Legendary Blacksmithing Hammer—Molten Iron Revives

"Take it... Also, this time, I'm sorry for you." Cassius sat down on the chair wearily, and said nothing more.

Taking the hammer that was much heavier than it looked, Guta nodded, and handed it back to Weiwei who was not very happy for some reason.

The three saluted and left.

The moment the door was closed, Guta took a last look at Cassius' back.

Lonely and depressed, but inexplicably giving people a feeling of persistence.

Is it the exact opposite of the slack on the outside?

What a contradictory guy...

……

The three walked out of the guild, and were silent for a while.

"Uncle Cassius, does he know everything, including the assassination..." Weiwei was a little depressed.

Su Sheng's hands holding the molten iron dropped down.

Nia wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, Cassius really put them into danger on purpose this time.

"He may be a cunning guy, but he shouldn't be as bad as you think. Even if I didn't make a move, he would have made a move." Guta said a rare word for Cassius.

He didn't say that for comfort.

According to where Cassius appeared, he was probably following these assassins all the time, and naturally he would not let them hurt Vivi and Nia.

"At least as far as the results are concerned, our mission is going well, isn't it?" Niya also said something and patted Weiwei on the back, "Don't think so much, we just live our own lives, and the rest Let the big guys have a headache."

Only then did Weiwei feel a little warmer, she nodded, but she was still not in high spirits.

"By the way, I forgot to ask before, Weiwei, can you forge armor?" Guta didn't know whether it was to divert the topic, or if he really remembered something, and suddenly said: "This time I collected a lot of materials from Kailong. , I wonder if it is possible to strengthen the existing armors of me and Nia."

After many battles, Nia is still good as a long-range output, but the Snow Lion King leather armor on Guta's body has long been scarred.

There is no way, after all, as the only melee and main output in the team, he has assumed most of the output of the monsters in disguise.

The reason why it has survived until now and has not been completely damaged can only be said to be due to luck.

"Except for the forging of Taidao, I can do everything else... I suggest not to change the one of Niya. She uses a heavy crossbow. Compared with the heavy armored dragon material, she needs lighter leather armor. If you have any material, you can pay attention to it later.”

Weiwei paused, looked up and down the leather armor of the ancient tower, shook her head and said: "As for the leather armor of the Snow Lion King on your body, I suggest that you should replace it with armored dragon materials. With your physical strength The weight is nothing to worry about, but the defense can be greatly improved."

"I'll probably need a week."

Nia wanted to take money from her backpack, but Weiwei slapped her dissatisfiedly.

"I won't take money from my friends, Nia, you are too much!"

"I was wrong, so I'll leave it to you... Next time, just tell me what materials you want, and Guta and I will collect them for you." Nia smiled enthusiastically, and Guta beside him also shook his head helplessly.

Although the meeting was not very harmonious at the beginning, after all, they are considered companions who have experienced adventures together, and the emotion is naturally no longer the same as before.

What's more, after actual contact, although Weiwei is a little too obsessed with advanced materials and forging, she is still a very good person.

At least to friends, she is absolutely sincere.

"Then trouble you, Weiwei, come to us at any time if you have anything to do." Guta and Nia waved goodbye to Weiwei in front of the blacksmith shop, and walked towards the hotel under the moonlight and the flickering bonfires in the city.

And somewhere in the dark shadows, a man covered in a cloak was standing on the balcony of a tall building, watching them expressionlessly.

"Extinction, that is the goal you need to deal with in the near future."

"Although he is irrelevant in itself, it is enough to become the trigger for Roz to make up his mind..."

After that, he turned his head to look around.

It was a girl with black hair and bare feet, with chains and shackles on her wrists, ankles and neck.

"Just kill him?"

"I understand."

……

Chapter 45 New Quest - Mutated Sickle Crab

"Sister Lilian, good morning!"

Nia greeted the kanban lady who was posting the latest task list in front of the bulletin board with great vigor.

"Morning, Nia, Guta is too."

Still wearing a flirtatious low-cut dress, Lilian pulled her long hair, and said in a low voice apologetically, "I'm really sorry about what happened to Weiwei before~"

Obviously she also knew about the dispute between Guta and Weiwei.

After all, she was the one who introduced it, so I felt a little ashamed.

Guta shook his head and said, "We are friends now, we are all over."

He is not in the habit of going over old accounts with his friends.

Lilian just nodded with a smile, then picked up a quest scroll and handed it to Guta.

"There happens to be a task suitable for you here, do you want to do it?"

Guta took the task book, and Nia on the side also squeezed her little head over.

On the scroll, a huge blue-purple crab with a strange appearance is opening its teeth and claws.

"Hmm... sickle crab?" Nia immediately recognized the monster, and then looked at the Kanban girl with some doubts.

Ordinary scythe crabs are slightly stronger than Velociraptor and Dog Dragon. Why does Sister Lilian think this task is suitable for her and Guta?

I will not mention it for the time being, but it is a bit overkill to perform this kind of task with the combat power of the ancient tower.

"It's not like that, it's just a little special..." Lilian explained, "In the cave near the port recently, some workers were attacked, and the hunter who went to perform the mission was seriously injured and returned, and submitted this report to the guild. Sighting reports."

"That's not an ordinary scythe crab. According to the hunter, the other party is like a great swordsman who is proficient in swordsmanship and swordsmanship. He can launch a unique attack similar to Iai chop. It is probably a special individual."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Guta suddenly became interested.

He himself is a Taidao hunter who mainly focuses on Juhe, and coupled with the system's ability to eat and replenish what he can, he may be able to further improve the existing Taidao skills from this monster.

What's more, according to the kanban lady Lilian, this monster doesn't seem to be weak, at least far beyond the level of ordinary scythe crabs.

"We have accepted this task." Guta raised his head and said.

"That's fine, I'll register for you directly." Lillian nodded and went back to the counter to start registration.

Although this mission is dangerous, it shouldn't be a big problem for a hunter of Guta's level.

She had heard that Guta and the others had hunted down an armored dragon some time ago.

Although they were only seriously injured, it was enough to show the strength of their team.

She is quite confident about Guta and Nia.

"The damp cave... Nia, do you know where it is?" Guta glanced at the place where the hunting target appeared, and asked the girl beside him.

"It seems to be on the coastline on the west side, and it's quite close to the pier. It's no wonder that the union is eager to find someone to deal with it." Nia, who has always been good at intelligence collection, replied almost instantly, and analyzed it by the way.

"According to the characteristics of the crab monster, this special individual of the scythe crab probably obtained some monster's limbs or bones, so it uses a special attack similar to slashing."

"Maybe I got the skull of Zhanlong. Isn't the sickle crab always collecting the skulls of other monsters?" Guta didn't know anything about the sickle crab, and soon thought of a certain possibility.

The sickle crab's habit is similar to the hermit crab in the previous life. It likes to carry other people's carapace or skull on its back.At the same time, because of the extraordinaryness of this world, they can often obtain certain special abilities.

Slashing might be one of them.

"Eating it, I don't know if my slashing ability will go further." Guta said bluntly.

He had confessed to Nia a long time ago that he could steal the ability from the monster.

Although Nia was very surprised by this, she was mostly in the stage of envy.

In this world, Guta is not the only person who is special. Human beings who are born with certain extraordinary qualities can be said to be everywhere.

Not to mention, the current supreme leader of the Hunter's Guild is a giant dragonman who has lived for hundreds of years and claims to have the blood of a dragon. It is said that he is more than ten meters tall.

Although Guta's ability is indeed very strong, it is not particularly bizarre.

"Weiwei must also be interested in the material of this monster, after all, it is a very rare mutant." Nia smiled and put the mission book into her waist pocket.

"It's not too late, let's start early. To be honest, I kind of miss the shield crab pot rice served by the village chief's mother-in-law, but the taste of this sickle crab should not be bad."

After finishing speaking, Guta Guta waved with Nia and Kanban Niang, and then rushed towards the coastline.

……

It took about an hour and they arrived at the mission location very quickly.

A rocky beach.

"Speaking of which, don't you want to buy Xueqiu, how far is it now?" Guta glanced at the girl beside him.

After that mission was completed, they returned the chocobo to the station.

But no matter whether it is Xueqiu or Nia, each person and bird seem to want to be separated.

But after all, these chocobos belonged to the property of the post station, so she had no choice but to take it back to the camp while comforting Snowball.

Seemingly seeing the relationship between Xueqiu and Nia, the businessman at the inn generously offered that as long as Nia collected enough redemption fee for Xueqiu, she could take it away directly.

For the sake of making friends with Guta, the businessman even offered to let Xueqiu follow them in advance, but they declined in the end.

They all have their own principles and don't want to take advantage of this.

What's more, with the completion rate and efficiency of their tasks, this little money can be made up quickly.

"It's about [-] Z coins less..." Nia calculated in her heart.

"No, take my share first." Guta said while observing the situation on the coast.

Nia shook her head, "No, if we do a few more big tasks, it should be enough. You still have to save your money to upgrade and update your equipment. We can't just let Wei Weibai contribute all the time, right? , Forging is not just enough materials."

The forging of equipment in this world is not like in those games, where you just throw the materials on the equipment.

Every forging and upgrading requires a lot of auxiliary materials and catalysts, and the value of these is actually not much lower than that of ordinary monster materials.

"Hey, I'm still poor."

Guta sighed, but he didn't know that they were already very rich among ordinary newcomers.

It would be good for a normal novice hunter to be able to maintain his basic living expenses, and equipment forging was even more out of the question.

Not many blacksmiths are really willing to make big monster bird suits or velociraptor suits for you every day. Although such things are not difficult to make, the profit is also very low, basically just earning pocket money.

But even so, for newcomers, this is still a lot of money.

Chapter 46 The Swordsman Breaking the Waves——Slaying the Dragon Shell and Sickle Crab

On the coastline, one after another the tide hit the high or low reefs, breaking into countless pale waves.

The shoal full of holes, accompanied by the impact and receding of the sea water, exposed countless caves of different sizes, deep or shallow.

In addition to the sea breeze blowing, you can occasionally hear the rustling sound coming from everywhere.

"According to the previous group of hunters, the target is in a cave near the B14 area. The characteristic is that there are two spiral stone pillars outside the entrance of the cave." Nia glanced at the mission book and slowly observed the surrounding terrain.

There seem to be too many eligible caves.

"It's there!"

Suddenly, Guta pointed in a direction.

The tone is very certain.
