Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 37 Towards the Waterless Forest
Shirene glanced at Jena, who was waiting next to her in pink, and was carefully sorting out the documents.

Picking up a stack of mission contracts to cover his side face, he got up and leaned closer and whispered, "It's dangerous in the forest without water, can you really do it?"

"You did the hunting certification for the big monster bird and the scratching bird. Isn't that enough to prove it?"

Li Fan said confidently.

"Hold on."

After Shirin finished speaking, she squatted down and rummaged through the counter for a while, and finally took out a pile of dusty hunting contracts.

"Poison Dog Dragon King, Poison Monster Bird, and Earth Sand Dragon, there are currently only three three-star contracts in the water forest backlog."

Shireen said.

Corresponding to the poisoned monster, it is also necessary to carry an antidote.

And I haven't done a deep understanding of the poisoning effect here.

In case of permanent damage, the loss can be great.

Li Fan thought for a moment and made a decision: "I want Tushalong."

"Okay, but you must not disclose the source of the contract. If you feel that it is difficult to complete in the middle, you don't need to force yourself. Just find a place where no one is around and destroy the contract."

Shireen whispered.

"destroy?"

Li Fan was puzzled.

"Yes, just as a help, this kind of task is meaningless, and keeping the contract in the union will only lower the rate of completion of the task."

"Ok."

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Li Fan rolled up the contract and walked out of the union quickly.

After sitting on the stone bench by the street, I started to watch it with Di Lu.

"The client, a fancy-dressed grandma, the mission introduction, the following is the description of the client, it's abominable! It's really abominable!"

Li Fannian paused here, exchanged a glance with Di Lu in confusion, and then continued to read.

"The white carriage that I carefully washed is covered with mud, all of this! It's all done by the dirty sand dragon! Please arrange a powerful hunter from the union as soon as possible to hunt the sand dragon!"

"Judging from the tone, this old lady seems very angry meow!"

Dilu speculated.

"The reward is 10500z, and the expedition subsidy is 3400z. Where is the specific location of the sighting? What are the characteristics of that earth sand dragon?"

Li Fan looked at the front and back, but found no other information.

"Is there a possibility that the client's grandma, who is wearing fancy clothes, just wants to hunt a sand dragon to vent her anger?"

Dilu asked tentatively.

"Is there such a task? Well, I don't do this kind of task less often."

Li Fan finally knew why Xilin said that this kind of task was meaningless.

The first is the waterless forest area that is inaccessible. Unless it is a monster that can produce a high degree of threat, it does not involve threatening the safety of villages and towns at all.

The second is the client's purpose, which is just to vent his anger by hunting monsters.

It didn't matter which sand dragon soiled her carriage.

"This contract is so stupid"

Li Fan said helplessly.

"Then why do you have to go, meow?"

Dilu scratched her head.

Li Fan saw that there was no one around, so he explained: "If puffs produce a large amount of foaming synovial fluid in the forest farm, they will be discovered soon, but if we go to the forest without water, find a corner where there is no one, and want to produce No one cares how much."

"It makes sense meow! Going in the name of a hunting expedition will not arouse suspicion."

Dilu was stunned.

"There are still rewards for hunting!"

"Great meow! How did you come up with this plan?"

Dilu asked excitedly.

"There is a legendary story called Deadly Hunter. I researched it based on the plot in it."

"Tell me when you have time, meow, what if you are in danger?"

To say that the water is not forested enough to be far away from the villages and towns, Di Lu agrees.

But the degree of danger of the environment has also increased significantly.

If you witness three-star monster activities around the village and town.

After the sightings are reported and the union contract is issued, a team of hunters will go there.

Even if no one reveals the task within a certain period of time, the trade union will come forward to eradicate it.

It's not the same without water and forest. Strictly speaking, the hunters who visit there are more like outsiders.

"We have puffs."

Li Fan responded.

Although the five-star monster is not exaggerated enough to destroy the world, it is not so dangerous in the wild.

Di Lu blinked and suddenly said, "Yes, we have Puff Meow!"

"Li Fan, let's go now, meow!"

"No, we have to wait for a while."

"Why meow?"

"Eudora's hunter promotion ceremony will start in two days. In addition, when supplies are restored in the village, supplies will be available at the trade union."

"Good meow, then I will take this time to make more preparations and collect information about the earth sand dragon."

One person, one cat was prepared like this.

What Li Fan needs to focus on is not the security issue, but the identity exposure.

After all, if you want to act with puffs in the forest without water, there is a possibility of being witnessed.

Puffs are nothing, there are no puffs in the water, and there are fox dragons in the forest, which is nothing more than normal.

Submit the sighting report casually. If the hunter team can find the trace, I will lose, but I will not be able to explain it.

Even if the other party has no evidence, but involving too much will inevitably lead to trouble.

How to do it?

Just as Li Fan was thinking, two masked children were playing and chasing each other, running past him quickly.

That's right, I put on a mask to ensure that I have no obvious features, so who can recognize me!

Li Fan came to the booth selling masks, just about to pay for it, when he noticed a problem.

There are quite a lot of mask styles here, and they are better than the ones in the DLC.

But they are all handmade. If you really want to track it down, you can still lock it to Kara Village.

But now that he had an idea, Li Fan was not in a hurry, and immediately began to think about dressing.

The scabbard straps, prop shoulder straps, and hunter's knives have mature manufacturing techniques and a very uniform style. It is basically impossible to rely on these to lock the identity.

Then the most conspicuous thing on the body is the war-damaged bear pajamas that have been pilled on the surface, and because of many trips to the wild, they are dilapidated.

Monster Hunter World only wears this one-piece suit, which is no different from loudly broadcasting who he is, so he must be replaced.

When he came to the door of the equipment store and looked at the leather armor set on the puppet, Li Fan waited quietly.

The salesperson, Ai Lumao, ran out quickly and introduced the leather armor suit's light weight, heat preservation, waterproof, and quick-drying properties.

As mass-produced equipment, the leather armor set does not have skill enhancement.

But because of the cheap price and wide applicability, even if they are not hunters, many ordinary people who set foot in the wild will buy a set to wear, which is the most common outdoor suit.

"how much is it?"

"Guest, full set of 2666z meow."

"Are there any second-hand ones?"

"No meow."

"Is there a discount?"

"No meow."

"I'm a one-star hunter, and I often come to your house to patronize. I also bought the Jawblade [-] here. Can it be cheaper?"

"Well, it's so embarrassing, meow, why don't you offer a price as a guest."

The clerk, Ai Lumao, rubbed her paws helplessly.

"1200!"

"Meow! What!"

The clerk, Ai Lumao, stared round.

"Don't get excited, I will pay 1200 first, and the remaining 1000 will be paid after the mission returns."

As Li Fan said, he showed the contract to defeat the earth sand dragon.

"Since it's a hunter on an expedition. Okay, meow!"

The clerk Ai Lumao finally chose to be accommodating.

If Li Fan had enough money on him, he wouldn't want to spend a lot of money, but he only had 1300z left in his body.

Two days later, the hunter promotion ceremony was held at the gate of the trade union.

Udora, who participated on crutches, received the award with a group of hunters who participated in the joint hunt.

Successfully promoted to union four-star hunter.

Harun, the branch leader who failed in chasing and hunting the Thunder Wolf Dragon, even though he broke an arm, still insisted on carrying up the awarding medal.

"It's all the damn Thunder Wolf Dragon's fault, otherwise I would have been on stage to receive the Hunter Badge that day."

Shirene bit her nails and said in a resentful tone.

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't go up again during the two-star promotion ceremony."

While applauding, Li Fan comforted him.

"It's difficult to use equipment boosters, and the turmoil caused by the pas de deux under the moon has caused a large backlog of contract tasks. I won't have the opportunity to train in the short term."

There was helplessness in Shireen's tone.

"What is the use of equipment augmentation?"

Li Fan was a little confused.

I thought to myself, is it possible that the ability to increase equipment also has a threshold for use?
"The assessment items for two-star hunters, don't you know?"

Shireen was particularly surprised.

"Next, please invite the members of the village defense team to come to the stage and accept the Lingyu-level Chosen badge issued by the village chief Bazeli!"

Hearing someone on the stage calling for members of the village defense team, Li Fan said helplessly, "It's so annoying, you have to go on stage to receive a medal."

"You can come on stage too?"

Shireen's forehead turned blue.

"Well, excuse me first."

Li Fan said, straightened the collar of the leather armor, and walked to the stage.

It is said that it is the village defense team, but in fact, including Bazeli himself, there are only 3 people and 2 cats in total.

After receiving the Kara Village super meal ticket and the badge of the Jade-level Chosen One, Li Fan joined the trade union again after the ceremony process was over, and received the supplies that had arrived.

Because they are distributed in groups of four.

So I received a total of 12 bottles of emergency medicine, 12 cans of food, and a hunting map drawn by the union.

After estimating the preparation progress of the mission, and getting something to cover the face, we can set off.

But after searching and searching, I always feel that there is no suitable one.

Many equipment made of monster materials can indeed cover the face.

The problem is that Li Fan doesn't have the required materials at all, and the scarcity of monster equipment also increases the risk of being locked.

Why don't you just smear some mud on your face?

In order to set off before dark, Li Fan felt that this was the cheapest and easiest way to achieve.

In front of the wooden house, the storage bag on the tank carrying strap has been converted into a net bag, and a total of 4 large wooden barrels are dragged forward and backward for loading supplies.

In the way of nesting dolls, there are many smaller wooden barrels inside.

After the establishment of the field camp this time, Li Fan did not plan to recycle in consideration of the carrying capacity of the return journey.

After all, under the same volume, the foaming fluid is much more valuable than the portable camp.

Just as Li Fan was making final preparations, Udora on crutches came to the wooden house.

"Li Fan, you take this well."

Yudora said, handing out a yellow crystal bottle.

"This is... the secret medicine?"

Li Fan made a guess based on the shape of the bottle.

After all, the item icons in the Monster Hunting game are displayed in a simulated style, which looks a bit abstract.

Except for items that are easier to identify, the rest can only be guessed.

"Yes, when you encounter a serious injury crisis, you must drink it decisively."

"Actually, there is no danger in going this time."

Li Fan wanted to return the secret medicine, but Yudora refused.

"You're welcome, the investigation agency can't do without you, and I can feel at ease with a bottle of secret medicine on me."

"Okay, once the task is completed, I will come back as soon as possible. Xiong Da will stay and take care of the wooden house, and you can rest in peace in the village to recuperate."

After saying goodbye, Li Fan rode on the back of the pot and walked towards the forest path.

In the surrounding area of ​​Kara Village, few people would go to the waterless forest, so naturally there were no passing routes.

Li Fan can only choose the nearest one, walking through the jungle for a while, and galloping on the mountain road for a while.

Caravans or hunter squads encountered on the way.

First of all, they will be amazed that someone can domesticate the scratching bird into a mount, and then they will discuss the four big barrels.

I just like wandering around with big barrels, okay?What catches your eyes!

Li Fan felt that if he was kept on the sidelines so frequently, something would go wrong sooner or later.

He simply put his mind to one side, found a pond, and started to muddy his face.

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations, after the face was painted, the face was indeed unrecognizable, but it was even more attention-grabbing.

"My friend, if there is anything you can't think about, you can tell me that the world may not be beautiful, but you can't abuse yourself like this."

An enthusiastic hunter with a sledgehammer stopped Li Fan's way and tried to persuade him.

"I'm fine, thank you, I'm going to Shuimeilin to join my teammates, it's urgent."

Li Fan showed a sunny smile.

"Really?"

The enthusiastic hunter said suspiciously.

"Xiaofen, show this big brother the map you marked."

Di Lu heard Li Fan calling her code name, and then used two cat paws to spread out a scroll map for display.

"It's true that there is no forest in the water. Looking at these labels, the preparations are sufficient. Take care, my friend, and I won't delay you."

The enthusiastic hunter knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly stepped aside.

However, Can Can didn't run very far, and the other party seemed to remember something, and shouted loudly.

"Recently, a velociraptor in the forest has been very active, and many hunting missions have been forced to be terminated. You and your teammates must be careful."

"Got it! Thank you!"

Li Fan's voice gradually faded away.

"Li Fan, oh no, meow! You should be called Laobai! The appearance of Xunlong is not mentioned in the contract at all."

This information is too important, Dilu thinks it should be confirmed.

"This in itself is a backlog of contracts that are constantly circulating between branches. The timeliness of the above information cannot be guaranteed. When the union branch launched a joint hunt, the reception of external information stagnated for a period of time, so the information about the water and forest will definitely appear. Hysteresis."

Li Fan gave an analysis.

Apparently, when the contract was revealed, Kara Village hadn't received any news that there was no Xunlong active in the water.

In addition, according to Li Fan's investigation during this period, Xunlong's activity is nothing unusual for Shui Meilin.

After all, there is no human gathering place there, and it is a natural hunting ground for monsters.

Except for the hunter team who planned to go hunting, few people would pay attention.

In order to prevent the enthusiastic big brothers and sisters from coming to comfort him, Li Fan asked Di Lu to use a small wooden bucket to get some water from the pond to wash off the mud on his face.

"I fell meow!"

"Ok."

Bang!Crash!
Di Lu's cat's claws failed to grasp firmly, and the small wooden barrel was buckled on Li Fan's head.

"Sorry meow!"

"It's okay, I have a solution."
