Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 164: AZ's suggestion

  Chapter 164 Aziz's suggestion

   After eating and drinking enough, the night in the cave camp was peaceful and peaceful.

  In the early morning of the next day, everyone put out the bonfire, added firewood to the camp after cleaning, packed their luggage and started on the road again.

  Since learning yesterday that Aziz's goal is at the Three Forks of the River, Gordon and the others decided to walk with him for a while.

  They just needed to cross the river from that location, and it might be easier with the help of Az, who is a seaman, to guide them.

  Fengying is looking forward to fishing, or in other words, she is looking forward to all things that she has never experienced before.

  Under her hard work, Gordon finally agreed that after arriving at the big river, everyone would relax after a day of fishing, which was considered to make up for her regret that she had never fished.

   It would be useless if she hadn't gone alone first, she wanted to ride on the tooth hound.

  Az is a very happy guy. The rainy weather, wet and muddy roads, and mosquitoes everywhere can't affect his good mood at all.

  Obviously the swamp is not the sea, but as a seaman, he feels like a fish in water.

  Relying on the special structure of the sea dragon suit, it is not afraid of being soaked in water. From time to time, it jumps into the lake and river, touches a fish, catches a few shrimps, and it is a delicious meal with bamboo shoots and mushrooms that can be seen everywhere.

  Even Gordon and the others, who were just on their way silently, were affected by him.

  Especially the youngest Fengying, following Aziz around, forcibly creating a cheerful atmosphere like a vacation outing.

   Gordon doesn't dislike this atmosphere.

  The cold and damp swamp already gives people a depressing feeling. After a long time, everyone feels a little depressed, which is not a good phenomenon.

  —Borrowed emotions will make people more prone to fatigue, and amidst laughter and laughter, everyone's pace will involuntarily speed up a bit.

  Aziz is a spearman. It is said that this is because spears are very dominant in water battles.

  The weapon he uses is also very interesting. It is not the common sharp-edged knight gun, but a slender gun with a forked head.

  This style looks like a trident at a high level, but it looks like a harpoon at a more realistic level, and this may be the real reason why Aziz loves this pair of "light fish dragon gun".

   One thing to say, this fork-shaped spear with paralysis properties is so convenient to pick up fish that it is doubtful of the original design intention of the designer.

  People who are new to the swamp may feel that it is a bit desolate. After all, it is not easy for large trees to survive in such an excessively humid environment.

   But in fact, the products in the swamp are very rich.

  In addition to various "edible" things, everyone also gained a lot.

  Anshir collected a large number of plant fruits that would be used when blending special ammunition, and Fengying was lucky enough to dig a light crystal in a certain cave.

   With this strange crystal ore, she can strengthen her lead-mixed shield ax II into an alloy shield axe, which is another step of improvement.

   At the same time, Aziz, who is already a five-star hunter, gave her a suggestion.

   "Little sister Fengying, if you encounter small shield crabs in the swamp, you can hunt as many as possible!"

"Huh?"

   "How to say?" Gordon was also a little interested in what Aziz said.

  Generally speaking, in addition to mission requirements, hunters will only focus on hunting certain monsters in one situation—to collect materials.

  Collecting materials may be used to make equipment, or to reconcile props. Here Gordon guesses the former.

  Even if she is only a two-star Fengying, there is no need to hunt specifically for the purpose of hoarding a large number of certain props.

   "It's for the shield crab suit?" Anshir guessed.

  Gordon also had a similar idea. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no other equipment that can use the material of the shield crab.

   "No, no, it's for wearing a very unpopular armor."

  Aziz shook his hand and said, "Have you heard of the lobster suit?"

  Gordon and Anshir looked at each other and shook their heads together.

   "Hey, I just said it's very unpopular. The main effect of this set of armor is "fishing celebrity". If you are a hunter who likes fishing, you will know it.

  It is very convenient to wear it for fishing, and I used it all the time before changing to the Sea Dragon set. "

  Gordon was speechless when he heard the words. He really wanted to tell Az directly that he didn't want to train Fengying to be a "fishing hunter" at all.

   "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Perhaps because of the dialect, Aziz seems to like to say conjunctions.

   "The lobster suit should be the strongest armor that can be made from monster materials below four stars. In terms of defense, the shield crab suit can't match it!"

   "The defense is stronger than the shield crab suit?" Gordon was really surprised.

   You know, the shield crab suit, known for its sturdiness, has always been the first choice of defense hunters before four stars.

  As a spearman himself, Az, who also belongs to the defensive system hunter, knew exactly what Gordon was surprised, and explained in detail:

  "Of course, the general spearmen and gunmen will still choose the shield crab suit, the shield crab suit has heavy armor, and the main concept of the design is solid defense (defense performance +2).

  The lobster suit is different. Although it is very strong, the armor is scattered, so it will affect the defense effect in the shield posture (defense performance -1).

  However, it’s not bad, the lobster suit is very light, and it’s super convenient whether it’s rolling or dodging (avoidance performance +2)!

  Amount, look at the shield ax used by little sister Fengying, but she is small, so she shouldn't be the kind of defense system that holds a shield and pushes hard in front of monsters, right?

  In this way, the lobster suit is very suitable! "

   No matter how "not doing business properly", Aziz's five-star strength is not worth anything.

  The same goes for eyesight.

  After listening to Aziz's detailed explanation, Gordon also felt that this "lobster suit" was very suitable for Fengying.

   Coincidentally, he has been worrying about Fengying's armor recently.

  Although the little girl has just put on the blue Athlon suit not long ago, this set of equipment is completely sufficient at the two-star level.

   But you must know that Fengying is not an ordinary two-star hunter. She will often follow Gordon and the others to participate in three-star or even four-star missions!

  In front of flying dragons, the defensive effect of the blue velociraptor suit is far from enough.

  —Back then, his own blue velociraptor suit was blown up by a fireball from the male fire dragon.

  If the defensive power of the lobster suit is really as good as Aziz described, it will be almost the same as his previous monster bird suit full of armor and jade.

  With more armor jade enhancements, the little guy will have a higher error tolerance rate when facing four-star monsters.

   "According to what Aziz said, we should pay attention when we encounter small shield crabs in the future, and help Fengying gather some materials."

  Gordon patted Fengying's little head, feeling like an old father who broke his heart for his daughter.

   "Which part of the shield crab's material is needed for that set of equipment, I will pay attention when shooting, so as not to break it." Anshir was also more enthusiastic.

  Although he didn't say it on the surface, he actually regarded Fengying as a partner in his heart.

   "No, hunting small shield crabs is not for obtaining their materials. How should I put it, because shield crabs have no natural enemies and reproduce very fast, the guild has always issued missions to hunt down shield crabs.

  In the settlement rewards of these crusade missions, there will be a special material called 'Shrimp Shell', which is one of the main materials for making lobster suits.

  After hunting the small shield crabs, you can keep the crab shells as a voucher, and then you can directly settle the exchange after receiving the task, which can save you the effort of going to the swamp a few times. "
