Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The group drank hot drinks and left the camp.

Although the target of the "poisonous monster dragon cub" is so fragile that it is hardly worth mentioning, even the poisonous monster dragon itself is not a difficult opponent for them.

But after entering the hunting ground, the hunters still dare not relax their vigilance.

When the village head lady issued the mission slip, she had warned them specifically.

The frozen soil mountains are in the western continent, and there has always been a saying of "monster cemetery", according to the legend of the "Ice People" who live in the frozen soil area.

——Deep in the permafrost, inhabits the "demon" that devours everything.

They are not afraid of the poisonous monster dragon, but when they were playing with the poisonous monster dragon, that "demon" came out, who would they turn to for reasoning?

Despise the opponent tactically, but keep your tail between your legs psychologically.

Hunters walk through the snow-covered snowy forest.

The person responsible for opening the road is Hayata. She has been active in the Frasia area for a long time, and she can also be called a "snow expert" to some extent.

The snow forest here is very similar to the outskirts of the Flasia region, even the types of vegetation are not much different.

Where the snow layer is relatively solid and where there may be snow caves, she can tell at a glance. With her leading the way, the efficiency of the group has improved a lot.

After walking like this for more than two hours, Hayata suddenly slowed down, and her companions gathered around her.

The forest ahead became sparse, replaced by a large stretch of towering glacial rock walls.

I don't know if it's because of the terrain or some other reason, but the snow on the ground here has become very hard, close to the ice surface.

Even Ted, who is wearing the Hammer Dragon armor, is only a shallow footprint when he steps on it.

"It's cool, this is called the ground! The thick snow in the goddamn forest, walking is more tiring than swimming!" Ted stomped his feet vigorously, cursing.

"More tiring than swimming"

"Still tired."

"."

The echo of Ted's loud voice echoed between the ice wall and the rock wall.

"Brother Ted, keep your voice down," Gordon reminded.

"Oh." Ted lowered his voice.

"The terrain is too complicated, let's change the formation, rhombus, I am behind Ted, Hayatamaka, left and right respectively, pork chops go forward, Shanlan Babaka, pay attention to the ice wall and above."

Everyone quickly changed their formation, keeping a distance of several meters from each other, so that no matter what happened, they could quickly support each other.

The team started again, but the speed was much slower than before.

In this way, the group advanced for more than half an hour in the area where the glacier and rock walls stood tall.

During this period, he encountered two sleeping dog dragons. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the smell of blood, Gordon asked Ted to smash them to death with the barrel of the gun.

Pork Chop ran back to report at this time.

It pointed to the continuous rocky mountains in front, "A few hundred meters ahead, there is a big cave, through which you can enter the mountain.

I didn't meet any monsters, but it's very dark in the cave, Gordon and you may not be able to see meow clearly. "

Gordon nodded, and after the pork chop returned to the team, everyone moved forward together, and soon saw the cave that the pork chop mentioned.

The entrance of the cave is so huge that even large flying dragons can easily enter it.

This is not good news.

Compared with the icy and snowy outside, the cave is obviously more suitable for all kinds of monsters to nest.

In addition, the terrain in the cave is complicated and there are many corridors, so he might plunge into something's lair.

Lack of light is also a big problem.

Fortunately, Gordon and the others had already prepared for this point.

Gordon took off the portable barbecue grill on his back, placed it on top of Babaka's head with a serious face, and then filled it with fuel to light the fire.

A bright torch that can walk with the team is completed.

Looking at the barbecue grill above his head, Babaka who turned into a light source, Maca had a constipated expression on his face.

Are you a bit too much?

However, unlike Maca's entanglement, Babaka was almost shaking with excitement.

Every step he took was so deliberate, as if it was not a strange thing like a barbecue grill, but a crown on its head.

This is all because on the airship when they came here, Gordon and Pig Chop told it the story of the King of the Odd Face Clan who had a barbecue grill on his head and could confront the upper hunter head-on.

Of course, Gordon and the others skipped over the part about how many strange faces were killed during the period.

Maca took it for granted that Gordon and the others were talking nonsense, but Hayata proved the truth of the matter.

This led directly to Babaka's unusual interest in portable barbecue grills

"Come on, Babaka, you go ahead."

Gordon smiled and pushed Babaka to the front of the team, "Knight Ted, protect it, and don't let those unknown monsters hurt our future King of the Kinky Face."

"Obey!"

"Crack, crack, crack!" Babaka raised the hammer-like weapon in his hand and cheered excitedly.

Maca covered her face, "It's almost done, it's really floating, keep your voice down, it will really attract the monster in a while, let me deal with it alone, and see how you cry when the time comes."

"Babaka Chaga!"

"Shut up! You haven't been enthroned yet!"

Hayata, who was watching this scene with a smile, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the ground illuminated by the fire from the barbecue grill, and his expression changed suddenly.

"Look at the ground!"

The atmosphere of the whole team immediately became tense.

Gordon put his palm on the hilt of the Fire Dragon Sword behind him, and looked down.

Then he was shocked to find that the nearby ground was not a rocky ground, but a transparent ice surface, under which countless skeletons were buried.

Layers upon layers, to the point of jaw-dropping.

His eyes quickly swept around.

Not just under the ice, there are also many bones scattered on the ice, some of which are relatively fresh in color, but there is no flesh and blood covering them.

Gordon glanced out of the hole.

This place is very close to the entrance of the cave, and there are still a few snowflakes drifting in along with the wind. It should be accumulated and covered over the years, forming this ice surface with countless layers of bones.

"alert."

Gordon said something in a low voice, then walked over to a relatively fresh skeleton and examined it.

Obviously, the bones of Sleeping Dog Dragon, judging from the integrity of the bones, died naturally, and the time would not be too long, two or three weeks at most.

The flesh and blood have completely disappeared, but the bone structure is not too messy. Are there decomposers like insects?

Can decomposers survive the temperature below freezing point?

While Gordon was wondering, he suddenly noticed something wriggling on a skeleton not far away.

Gordon narrowed his eyes, "Babacca, come here."

Babaka trotted over, and the firelight illuminated the skeleton. The little creature lying on the skeleton and scraping the residue seemed to be afraid of the firelight, and squirmed away in fright.

Gordon walked over quickly, grabbed the weird little creature that was half a meter long and picked it up.

Glancing at the wreck that still had some flesh and blood left, Gordon suddenly realized that this thing is the Decomposer.

Wait a minute, it's white, less than one meter long, with a shape similar to a leech, with ring-shaped mouths at the head and tail. This thing seems to be the target of their trip.

——Poisonous dragon cub?

Gordon pinched the suspected part of the neck of the poisonous dragon cub, so that the guy's ring-shaped mouth full of sharp teeth could not bite him.

But the little thing twisted its body vigorously, biting the mouth on the other end of its body onto Gordon's thigh.

It's a pity that it failed to bite through the armor made of the scales of the Canghuolong.

The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched, and with a little force, he pulled it off his leg, stretched his arms away from his body, and walked towards his companions.

"Then what, who will taste this stuff first?"
