Chapter 10 Reconciliation
Assuming that this hole is unlocked with a hunter star, does that mean that as long as you become a one-star hunter, you can load two fog balls at the same time?

There was no clear explanation on how to use the weird ability. Li Ming could only try to figure out how to unlock it through speculation and verification.

Fortunately, trying to become a guild hunter was already part of the plan, and there was no loss even if the attempt failed.

After a while, Ah Ju completed the decomposition of the carapace-eating herbivorous dragon, distributed the fresh meat, and started on the road.

After walking for a while, he caught up with Wood who had gone ahead.

Seeing Wood walking slower and slower, his eyes a little distracted, Li Ming saw the problem.

"Senior Wood, why don't you find a place to rest first?"

Wood freed up a hand, rubbed his eyes, and said awkwardly: "If it is nearby, you really can't take it lightly, but there is no resting area here."

"How about going to the tribe, meow?"

Midoduo suggested, carrying a pile of raw meat.

"If I go to rest, will Elle and the cats agree?"

After all, it was also the home of Melu Cat, Li Ming asked tentatively.

"It's okay, meow. If the road to the hunter's camp is blocked, the alternative destination will be the tribe, but the blood of the carapaceous herbivorous dragon must be drained first."

Midodo explained.

After a brief communication, the two cats headed towards the Melu Cat Tribe.

After traveling for an hour and a half, Li Ming arrived at the familiar cave entrance, kicked aside the flying tumbleweeds that were blocking the way, and opened the small wooden door.

The sleepy Wood bent down and dragged the Carapace-Eating Dragon in, then sat on the ground with his back against the rock wall.

"Ah Ju, the route is a little off, and there doesn't seem to be enough time. While I'm sleeping, you should prepare the bitter insect powder first, and also check whether there are ice crystal veins in the surrounding area. If you can collect it, mix it as soon as possible. "

After Wood finished explaining, he found a book with a thick cover from his pocket and handed it over.

"Okay, meow, leave it to me."

"Be careful."

After Wood finished speaking, his head tilted and he snored.

"What book is this?"

Li Ming cast a curious look at the book.

"The new version of the primary blending manual, meow, was released by Longli Academy."

Ah Ju responded.

"Do you really need to read a book to reconcile items?"

Li Ming said in surprise.

"If you are proficient enough, it is not necessary, but if you don't want to waste materials, it is better to follow the above process specifications."

"Can you lend it to me?"

"Of course you can do me a favor, Miaomi Duoduo. Let's process this bitter insect into powder."

Ah Ju handed out a fist-sized white beetle from her satchel.

"Leave it to me, meow!"

After Midoduo took it, he lifted the bitter insect above his head with both claws, ran quickly, and threw it into the stone pestle and mortar in the tribe.

The two cats picked up the stone hammer one after another.

Boom! Boom!Boom!
You hit me with a hammer and hit me with a hammer in rapid succession, and the bitter insects quickly turned into a sticky paste.

Li Ming stood still and flipped through the elementary reconciliation book.

Dyeing balls, recovery potions, sonic bombs, flash bombs, paralyzing raw meat, poisonous raw meat, first-level penetrating bombs
The mixing methods of many items are recorded in detail above with illustrations and text.

"Cold drink, the basic raw materials are ice crystals and bitter insect powder. The production method is to first put the bitter insect powder into boiling water and stir quickly. When it is fully dissolved and turns white, quickly add the ice crystal particles. The ratio of bitter insect powder to ice crystal particles is 1 Than 40”

No wonder Wood asked Ah Ju to find ice crystals before going to bed. After collecting them, he can make cold drinks.

But it's a bit dangerous to collect things alone in the wild.

If I don't collect it, it will delay today's logistics preparation progress. I also want to return to the camp before dark and practice more shield and axe.

It would be great if there were veins of ice crystals nearby that could be harvested safely.
Thinking of this, Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the dry well in the camp.

No, the cat statue and the ice crystal mineral vein are the two greatest treasures in the camp and must not be damaged.

Wait, the ice crystal mineral vein is so big. If you collect it all, it will be enough to make thousands of glass bottles for cold drinks.

Li Ming suddenly realized that reconciliation in reality would not directly consume an entire unit of materials like in the game.

Use the cable to reach the bottom of the well, walk to the ice crystallization platform, and first remove the chilled raw meat placed on the surface.

The reason why this mineral vein appears as a flat surface is not caused by nature, but the result of continuous polishing by the Merlu cats in order to facilitate the placement of food.

Li Ming pulled out a hunter's knife and began to gently scrape the surface with the blade.

sand~sand~
Groups of blue and white crystal particles appeared.

In the camp, Ah Ju and Mido Duo spread the hammered insect powder on a wooden board.

The planks are then hoisted to the top of the cave with ropes to be exposed to the sun.

"Okay, it's time for me to go, meow."

Daju unfolded the map and waited for a moment, then packed up and set off.

"Would it be dangerous if you act alone, nya?"

Mido said worriedly.

"Don't worry, meow, I'm a battle-experienced two-star hunting cat! Everything will be fine."

Ah Ju’s cat paw patted Midoduo’s shoulder, then turned towards the door.

"Don't bother, I have ice crystals here."

Li Ming shook the heavy cloth bag in his hand.

"Really, meow! If we gather the ingredients for a cold drink now, we will probably be able to return to the camp soon."

Ah Ju said in surprise.

Start a fire and bring the water in the stew pot to a boil.

When the hanging board was put down, the sticky bugs had dried and hardened in the sun. After a few hammerings, they shattered into a pile of white powder.

One person and two cats came to the stew pot, ready to try mixing cold drinks.

"I'm responsible for putting in the bitter insect powder, nya!"

Midodo said, holding the board high.

"I'm in charge of stirring the cat!"

Ah Ju, who found a wooden box to use as a stepping stone, looked serious.

"I'm responsible for putting in the ice crystal particles."

Li Ming opened the mouth of the bag with a solemn expression.

"We have only one goal! That is to successfully reconcile (meow)!"

The two cats shouted the slogan in unison.

Midoduo tilted the wooden board and poured the bitter insect powder into the stew pot.

"Meow meow!!! Meow meow!!!."

Ah Ju, holding a wooden stick with both claws, created a vortex in the boiling water.

"Be white, be white"

Li Ming stared into the pot and kept muttering softly.

呲~呲~
A few slight burning sounds came to mind, and the water surface quickly turned white.

Li Ming turned the bag upside down, and the cold blue and white particles poured out.

Zhila~zila~bang!
A cloud of thick white smoke erupted from the pot.

The two cats immediately dropped their tools and ran away to avoid it.

"Is reconciliation so dangerous?"

Li Ming, who was looking behind the small tent, asked tentatively.

"The conditions for blending in the wild are relatively limited, and accidents are easy to happen, but this is not the blending of large explosive barrels, so don't worry."

After Ah Ju finished speaking, he retracted his head.

After a few minutes, the white smoke dissipated, and the two cats each leaned into the pot to observe.The boiling water on the water magically disappeared, and the milk-white liquid was like a mirror, reflecting the surprised expressions of the two cats on the surface.

"Success! (Meow!)"

One person and two cats hugged each other, laughing and celebrating.

After loading it in the container I carried, there was still more than half a pot of cold drinks left.

Li Ming decided to get the ice crystal platform to freeze and store it for the cats in the tribe to drink.

Midoduo also carved a copy of the cold drink recipe on the rock wall for backup.

When Wood woke up, he was somewhat surprised to see that the mixing of cold drinks had been completed.

"Yeah, it smells like meat fat, but it's pretty good."

After taking a bite, Wood gave his evaluation.

Leave two dragon legs as a reward for the visiting tribe and do a good job of concealment.

After successfully completing the logistical preparations, the two men and two cats began their return journey.

After drinking a cold drink, the sun exposure and scorching wind and waves in the Sand Plains area during the day seemed like they didn't exist.

Li Ming, who felt chilled all over his body, also became much more energetic.

"Can not go back."

Li Ming, who was carrying a large pile of raw meat on his back, sighed.

"Why can't you go back?"

Wood looked at the map and asked curiously.

"Cold drink, after drinking it, the world feels different."

"When you have the opportunity to wear a full set of armor in the sand plains, carry heavy weapons on your back, run for a long distance, and then start a battle, you will have a deeper feeling."

Wood informed.

Li Ming suddenly realized that he had also been seriously troubled by the high temperature environment, but his condition was much better than that of the fully equipped hunters.

"By the way, Senior Wood, I have something to ask you. How can I become a guild hunter?"

"I think first of all, the guild branch will announce the date of the centralized assessment in various places. After registration, you can take the exam on time. The exam content includes a physical fitness test, a hunter's basic knowledge test, proficiency in using a hunting weapon, and the total score reaches the passing line. , you can be allowed to become a one-star hunter and get the hunter medal, that’s it.”

After Wood finished speaking, he looked down at the medal on his chest.

"Is it very difficult?"

"This depends on talent. Some people have been tested for more than ten years and have not been allowed to become hunters. Some people participated for the first time as teenagers and successfully passed. But for hunters, one-star hunter is just the beginning. By the way, Shield There is an advantage to Ax taking the assessment."

"What advantage?"

"Hey, this kind of shortcut should not be told to young people casually."

Wood looked troubled.

"After watching Wasiu's Ghost Dance, I feel that the twin swords are quite suitable for me."

Li Ming muttered.

"Well, some of the more remote guild branches have very few staff, and there are even fewer instructors who are proficient in using shield axes, so the assessment standards for weapon mastery will be relatively loose."

Wood informed.

"So that's it. If I take part in the assessment, am I likely to pass?"

"You have a good reserve of ecological knowledge. You should be fine in the basic knowledge test. If you practice the Shield Ax in depth for a while, you should be able to pass it, but your physical fitness is a bit poor."

Wood gave an objective evaluation.

"Is there any way to improve it?"

"Lindsay is an expert in this area and according to him, three years ago he was the skinniest in the village."

"I'll ask for advice when I get the chance."

Li Ming wrote it down in his mind.

"Senior Wood, why are you always looking at the map?"

Wood walked several hundred meters along this way without looking at the map and then looking up at the surrounding terrain.

Such a high frequency makes Li Ming a little puzzled.

"Sahara is a high-risk area. To ensure everyone's safety, it is better to be cautious."

Before sunset, the fully loaded logistics team returned to the hunter camp halfway up the mountain.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!."

The sound of Lindsay pushing the weight shield sounded.

Wasiu sat on the edge of the cliff with his legs hanging in the air, staring at the endless sand dunes in a daze.

Obviously, one day's recovery time allowed the two of them to improve a lot.

With this day's experience, I have a deeper understanding of team logistics and item coordination.

The necessary hunting process of the hunter team became increasingly clear in Li Ming's mind.

During dinner, the second hunting of the Tusandosaurus was officially scheduled for tomorrow.

As for the detailed plan, it can be summarized as just go ahead and do it.

After eating, Li Ming found an open space, picked up the Skeleton Shield and Axe, and continued practicing.

Wood found a stone stool nearby, sat on the ground, and gave guidance from time to time.

Soon, he noticed something unusual.

"Li Ming, have you learned some special standing skills about your waist and legs?"

The reason why Wood is not sure is because there is something abnormal about Li Ming that was not there last night.

"Senior Wood has a good eye. This is called waist-horse integration. It is an ancestral stance technique passed down from my hometown in the village. It is specially used to stabilize the foot plate."

"But yesterday."

"At that time, I didn't even master the basics of using the shield axe, so I couldn't integrate the waist and horse into one."

"Well, I can only say that this combination of waist and horse is very practical, especially when defending with a shield. But I want to remind you that today, no matter in the sword, shield or ax form, the position of your hands is very low. You should Consciously lift yourself up more."

Wood finished his evaluation and pointed out the shortcomings.

Hands positioned low?
yes! [Stabilize the lower body] is a skill activated by the Carapaceous Herbivore Dragon's four legs touching the ground. Under the subtle influence, the position of my hands became lower.

However, your body is your own, and this small impact can definitely be overcome.

Li Ming thought and raised his arms to their previous level.

Although it was a little uncomfortable at first, I quickly got used to it through frequent vigorous slashing training.

Late at night, Li Ming, who was sleepy and tired, wanted to take a rest.

When he returned to the tribe this time, he also brought the straw mat that had been with him for many days.

The carapace of the adult carapace-eating dragon is large enough that it no longer has to curl up when sleeping.

pat~
He found Mi Duoduo, buckled off his back armor, and Li Ming quickly fell asleep.

In the dark night, somewhere in the sandy plains.

The earth sand dragon used its hard head crown to hit a rock pillar that was riddled with holes and severely weathered.

puff~
As the rock pillars broke, a large number of giant ants scattered out.

Hu Tsai~Hu Tsai~
The Earth Sand Dragon swung its body quickly, and a large amount of gray silt was scattered on its surface.

The giant ant's feet sank into the mud, and its escape speed slowed down significantly.

The sand dragon opened its mouth wide and shook its head left and right towards the sand, greedily devouring it.

When he swallowed the root of the rock pillar, he faced a few cacti that were in the way and smashed his head hard, smashing them into pieces.

bang~ bang~
The sound of heavy treading came, and the Tushalong, who was enjoying his meal, quickly raised his head to look around.

On the sand in the distance, a huge figure with wings on its back appeared.

Hey!
The sand dragon rubs its paws in the sand and roars as a warning to indicate its territory.

The huge black shadow turned sideways, swung its head towards the sky, and roared loudly.

Seeing the bonfire trembling twice, Wood, who was on duty at night, shrank his pupils and quickly got up and ran to the edge of the cliff.

After closing his eyes and listening for a moment, he unfolded the map he carried and drew a red circle on the location.
