Chapter 42 Celebration
Press down with your feet and bear the impact with your body.

When the cracked mud armor shattered to his shoulders, Li Ming, who resisted with all his strength, successfully stopped the impact.

He felt like a tight spring at this moment, and he had to do something to release this power.

Push one leg back to the ground.

click~
The sword and shield turned into a giant axe, slashing forward.

The impact of the siltation changes with the posture of the body, as if it has found a pouring outlet and explodes at this moment.

Poof!Gaga~
The ax blade, which was smelling hot, hit the big wild boar king's nose head-on, and a crisp bone cracking sound was heard.

Hu~hu~
The big wild boar king lowered his head and let out a dull gasp.

"Drink!"

Li Ming pressed down on the ax handle with all his strength and continued to penetrate deeper.

After a moment of confrontation, the pig's head flicked sideways.

Li Ming, who was lifted into the air, pulled out his shield ax and swung it again while he was falling.

puff~
The big wild boar king, who was hit hard on the side of the head again, knelt on one front hoof.

Li Ming landed on the ground and swung his shield ax very widely, slashing horizontally continuously, and finally knocked him down.

Upon seeing this, Chuying emptied the shotgun barrel and moved closer to reload the dragon shot.

A sliding shovel was brought close to the head, and the muzzle of the gun was directly at the head of the big wild boar king.

boom!
The flames caused by the purple flames exploded, igniting large pieces of brown pig hair.

bang~
Using his hooves sideways, the big wild boar king stood up again, turned around, and started limping away.

The two men and two cats continued to attack on both sides of the huge body, and the big wild boar king soon died.

The feeling of fatigue that hit him made Li Ming throw away his sword and shield and sit down on the ground.

Collision offsets the impact, then introduces the impact into itself, and then releases it with a slashing attack.
Li Ming looked at his hands that were bleeding continuously, recalling the strange feeling from before.

"Aren't you going to do the salvation ceremony?"

Midoduo asked tentatively.

"immediately."

Li Ming stood up, picked up the sword and shield and carried it on his back, then checked the fog ball.

One green and two white.

The green fog ball is [charged collision], which is an advanced version of the white ball.

The two white balls are [Fang Stab] and [Sprint Change].

[Fangs Stab] There’s nothing to say, it doesn’t mean much.

The introduction of [Sprint Change] is that the Big Boar King can perform a large turn at the expense of a very small loss of speed when dashing forward.

Li Ming was a little confused.

If you choose the green ball [Charged Crash], you can replace the existing white ball.

If you choose [Sprint Change], it can be combined with [Charged Crash] to take effect.

Anyway, [charged collision] is not the main output skill, so it might as well be more feasible.

Li Ming thought for a moment and chose the white ball [Sprint Change Direction].

Cover the body, send off a flare to summon investigators, and squat over the body.

The team is already familiar with the next process.

At dusk, a middle-aged male investigator wearing a pure white cotton suit and carrying an Onipo Zantachi slid down the snowy slope and rushed to the scene.

"I thought the rescue signal was of the wrong color, so I rushed over as quickly as possible. I didn't expect that a small team actually succeeded in hunting."

The investigator circled around the body of the Big Wild Boar King twice and said with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, the contract is already so small."

Li Ming said with emotion.

"Forgot to introduce myself, I am Pu Yan, a dedicated field investigator. I am very grateful to the four of you for hunting the Big Wild Boar King. When it is around, I usually have to go around here."

Pu Yan smiled, showing his white teeth.

"I feel that the ecology of the snow-capped mountains is not as unstable as the outside world says."

Li Ming asked.

"Without the visit of a large number of gatherers and hunters, it is actually difficult to communicate the true situation to the outside world. In addition, due to frequent disasters, the monsters in the snowy mountains are actually just like humans, and they are also struggling to survive, so they have become more peaceful."

Pu Yan informed.

Not long after, the contract certification was completed.

"There may be a heavy snowstorm tonight. If the camp location is safe enough, don't go down the mountain in the wind and snow. It's easy to get lost. Thank you to the team for their contribution to ecological stability."

Farewell to Pu Yan, the team headed towards the camp below with a large roll of Wild Boar King fur and a thick curved tusk.

During this period, they encountered a transport team composed of Ailu and Melu, who were pushing cars up the mountain.

Both parties should be careful with each other and say goodbye.

At night, the cold wind raged.

The team braved the wind and snow and returned to the ice cave camp.

A bonfire was lit, the fur of the big wild boar king was unfolded, and the two people and two cats lying on it were surrounded by warmth, as if they had been reborn.

The red ice crystals on the gauntlet began to melt and turned into blood.

This blood includes Li Ming's own blood and some from the Big Wild Boar King.

Li Ming sat up and took off his handguards that were sticky and soaked with blood.

The shock lacerations caused by the top shield's resistance, and the purple bruises formed when the impact was reversed, looked shocking.

Although the human body's natural resilience is extremely strong under the overall high-energy ecology, the pain and discomfort still have to be fully endured.

"It's really not that easy to become a powerful hunter."

Li Ming sighed with bared teeth.

"It's just that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I would definitely be able to help you share more of the burden."

Chu Ying said with some self-blame.

"No, you did a good job and the plan was completed. The main problem is that this big wild boar king is too big. It seems that you have to carefully select your hunting targets in the future."

"That makes sense, right? I'll help you clean your wounds, right?"

Chuying asked.

"Do you have expertise in this area?"

"I don't know myself, but when the teacher was treating his wounds, he always looked calm and never cried out in pain."

"That must be quite talented."

Li Ming stretched out his blood-stained hands.

Chuying picked up a clean cotton cloth and gently rubbed it on her palms.

"Woooo!"

"Does it hurt?"

Chuying asked nervously.

"It doesn't hurt, haha."

"I'll be lighter."

Li Ming gritted his teeth and nodded with a dry smile.

After cleaning the wound, Li Ming, whose face turned pale, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay?"

Chuying asked tentatively.

"Okay, I don't feel it at all."

Li Ming agreed.

Midoduo applied the green powder made from herbs to the wound. Li Ming, who put on his gauntlets again, looked at the small half of the ripples in the hole in the ice.

"To celebrate the hunting of the Big Boar King, everyone please eat the Bobo Tongue as soon as possible, meow."

Upon seeing this, Midoduo was the first to make a suggestion.

"The proposal is good. Even if such a small section is sold, the price will be lowered by the Chamber of Commerce."

Li Ming gave his approval.

Raw meat, pig's trotters, and Bobo tongue.

All the accumulated food was taken out of the cold storage dug out of the ice.

The team, who had no worries after completing the hunt, had a hearty meal.

The next day, the team, carrying a large amount of furs, returned to Bokai Village.

Two days later, it was a snowy night.

The female receptionist Bo Lan rested her chin on one hand on the counter, flipping the books back and forth out of boredom.

When I saw the latest page about the hunting trip records of the ruthless team, I couldn't help but become worried.

"Will they be okay?"

After Bolan finished reciting, four figures entered the guild hall through the ice cave tunnel.

"Welcome to the Bokai Village branch. You are the ruthless team!" "That's right."

Li Ming shook off the snow on his body, took off the fur rolls on his back, and sat by the stove in the center.

Bo Lan poured four cups of hot tea and brought them to the table.

"Well, I remember it wasn't like this when I left."

Bo Lan touched his chin and asked curiously.

"The beard grows a little fast. This is a contract. It's troublesome."

Li Ming said and handed out the contract.

"Wait a moment, you two, I'll handle it right away."

As Bo Lan said this, he ran to the counter enthusiastically and got busy.

Soon, [the pig makes a sudden advance!The contract of Big Wild Boar King is completed and certified.

"You guys, don't be in a hurry to leave."

Bolan asked tentatively.

"Yes, I want to divide the materials into parts and confirm before leaving."

Chuying informed.

"That's good. This is the contract to complete the certification. As for the reward, there is not enough money in the cash box at the counter. It will take about three days to wait."

Bolan informed.

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Ming felt incredible.

"Don't worry, the contract has been marked as unpaid, and our Bokai branch will never default on the payment."

Bolan assured.

"I'm not talking about defaulting on the debt, but that the guild will also be out of money."

Li Ming explained.

"Alas~ There is no way. There is no permanent team of hunters in the village to generate revenue. Even maintaining operations requires financial support from the guild headquarters."

Bolan's shoulders dropped, helplessness written on his face.

Li Ming now understood why the head of Bernard Village wanted to recruit even two-star hunters.

"Why does it take three days?"

Chuying looked at the map and asked in confusion.

The guild headquarters is located in East Doruma, which is not very close to Bokai Village. Not to mention the need to travel back and forth, so three days is obviously not enough time.

"Because three days later, the body of the Big Wild Boar King has probably arrived, been decomposed, and sold to the local chamber of commerce."

Bolan informed.

"That's okay too."

Li Ming didn't expect it either.

"Funds are a little tight, but everyone in our Bokai Village branch is still sticking to their posts. I believe that one day in the future, we will be able to recreate the prosperity of Bokai Village."

Bolan clenched his fist and said confidently.

"everyone"

Li Ming looked around and found that apart from Bo Lan and the ruthless team, there was only one Ellu sleeping soundly by the stove.

"The president is traveling far away, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one."

Bolan informed.

"Okay. Let's move the materials to the warehouse. Please help us register them."

Two days later in the early morning, an eight-wheeled flatbed truck containing the body of the Big Wild Boar King was pushed into the village.

Villagers who were cleaning the snow from their houses came to watch.

"President Pu Yan! Welcome back!"

Bolan, who was wearing a cotton coat, shouted excitedly when he saw the man entering the village on a flatbed truck.

"Isn't Pu Yan a field investigator? Why did he become the branch president again?"

Li Ming couldn't understand.

"Maybe part-time?"

Chuying expressed her speculation.

The flatbed truck stopped in front of the closed workshop door.

Ailu and Melu climbed onto the car, untied the ropes used for fixation, and under Pu Yan's command, unloaded the frozen body of the Big Wild Boar King.

"Why does it seem like the transportation team is also related to Pu Yan?"

While Li Ming was talking, an Elu cat in the workshop removed a door panel and peered out.

Then he ran out excitedly and handed Pu Yan a blacksmith's apron.

"I know everyone has been working hard all the way, but the guild is in urgent need of funds, so the Big Boar King must be decomposed as soon as possible. Come on! Let's have a pork dinner tonight!"

Pu Yan gave encouragement while tying the blacksmith's apron.

"Okay meow!"

The cats raised their paws and shouted, responding positively.

The Elumelu of the transportation team tied up their aprons and put on their headscarves, and soon the workshop became busy.

In the afternoon, the team successfully received their remuneration. Since there was no relevant production demand, the material share was fully realized.

In addition to the materials brought back and sold to the Chamber of Commerce, each person in the team had an income of 8220z.

In the evening, a pork feast held by the guild branch started in the restaurant.

Most of the residents in the village, who make a living as miners, were all invited to the scene, and everyone sang, danced, and drank.

Late at night, the crowd dispersed and the Elu began to clean up.

Li Ming came to the counter and asked Bolan, who was slightly tipsy.

"Bolan, do you know the assessment standards for three-star hunters?"

"I don't know, but Pu Yan was a four-star hunter before he became the branch president. You can ask him."

Bolan informed.

The Bokai Village branch didn't even have the qualifications to take the hunter assessment, so it was normal for Bolan to be unclear about it.

Li Ming came to the guild door under the guidance of an elu.

Just as Ailu said, Pu Yan was leaning on the rock wall with his back, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"President Park Yan, I would like to ask you about the assessment standards for three-star hunters."

"Is the team going to try to advance to three stars now?"

Pu Yan said with some surprise.

"I want to make some preparations first."

Li Ming informed.

"Intermediate coordination, intermediate weapon use, intermediate physical fitness test, use of flying insects and flying claws, the above four items can be applied for assessment at will. As long as two of them are passed, it will be considered as qualified. Of course, to become a three-star hunter, you still need to achieve a three-star level. emergency contract."

Pu Yan introduced.

"Is it enough to meet two of the assessments?"

Li Ming asked unexpectedly.

"Yes, the more common choices are weapon usage and physical fitness test. As long as you have a certain amount of talent and work hard enough, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve."

He is indeed a four-star hunter and speaks with pride.

Li Ming thought to himself.

"There are relatively few people who pass the examination with flying insects and flying claws, right?"

Li Ming asked.

"Indeed, there are not many. Those two hunting props are too radical. Although they are more recognized than the hunting styles self-developed by Longli Academy, there are still many hunters who cannot accept it, especially those who are accustomed to the guild style. hunter."

Pu Yan introduced.

"It's a shame that it hasn't been widely promoted. Maybe they just lack a role model."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

He feels that this has a lot to do with the fact that the protagonist does not appear.

Otherwise, once the story spreads, more hunters will definitely try to change the existing hunting style.

The more people join, the faster it will be to optimize the hunting style, and the ease of use and strength will also increase.

"Well, that seems to be the case, otherwise the guild would not have included flying insects and flying claws in the assessment. If there are a few more people who can bring those fighting styles to the extreme, maybe many people will not stick to the old rules."

Pu Yan agreed.

"Which branch is qualified to conduct the three-star hunter assessment?"

"The nearest ones are Yanhuo Village and Feiye Fortress branch."

Pu Yan informed.
