Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1231 This is the original intention

After the large army arrived at Yuechen, they released peregrine falcons to send messages to the stars.

When the commander-in-chief receives the news, he will come over by airship to inspect the construction of Yuechen and make some manpower arrangements.

In the few days before the commander-in-chief arrived, Yuechen's affairs were temporarily handled by the technical team leader, the logistics team leader, and Gordon, the investigation team leader.

Gordon touched it.

He had no choice but to lead the hunters in battle, but he had to deal with matters like planning and coordinating supplies, and allocating specific work to individuals.

Whatever you say is what it is.

The technical team leader also touched it.

He claimed that he was a pure technical person and that he had led the construction team only as a side job. Now that a "professional" like the leader of the materials team had arrived, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Concentrate on my large steam engine.

Two of the three leaders have run away, leaving only the leader of the logistics squad in the temporary headquarters, who is busy and sweating profusely.

Of course, the leader of the logistics squad would not let these two people sit idle.

After the arrival of the large army, the population of the Yuechen stronghold quadrupled. In addition to speeding up the transportation of large quantities of supplies on the ice, the top priority was to expand the residential area and build a defensive wall.

When it comes to transportation, her team is professional.

As for the expansion work, she gave it to the technical team leader. You can work on your steam engine later. Let’s make sure everyone has a good place to stay first!

The hunter group led by Gordon naturally cannot sit idle.

In addition to arranging some hunters to escort the transportation and logging teams to prevent them from being attacked by monsters.

The remaining hunters, go collect supplies for me!

Most of the materials transported from the Star Stronghold and even the Old Continent are special materials, such as medicinal herbs that are difficult to obtain in the ever-frost frozen soil and sophisticated research equipment.

More basic food, furs, etc. can only be obtained from local sources.

And these are exactly what the Yuechen stronghold, which has seen a rapid increase in personnel, needs most.

Especially the fur!
After all, cold-proof cloaks can only temporarily block wind and snow. The investigation team needs a lot of warm and easy-to-move clothing.

Just like the winter clothes Feng Ying is wearing now.

It is warm and light. She is not going to change back to her original [Dark Lamp and Phantom Fire] until she is sure that she needs to hunt some large monsters and engage in high-intensity combat.

Mrs. Sterling worked overnight, drawing up blueprints and designing a new set of armor, or to be more precise, clothing.

——【Ice Wolf】.

To put it simply, it is a new model modified based on Feng Ying's snow mountain cold-proof clothing. The changes are not too many, mainly optimizing the details to improve flexibility while ensuring the warmth retention performance.

Since the fur itself is thick enough and key parts are reinforced with leather and metal, it has basic defensive capabilities.

In addition, there are reserved sockets for a variety of practical tools, including protective masks, multi-purpose eyepieces, projectors, etc., which will become the daily attire of people other than the hunter group in the Yuechen stronghold.

(In fact, this set of equipment is very carefully designed, but unfortunately it is not reflected much in the game)
As for hunters wearing it to hunt, there is nothing wrong with it. It just makes you feel like a novice hunter.
After receiving the drawings of [Ice Wolf], the leader of the logistics squad immediately made the decision.

Hunters, go gather furs for me!
The scene of craftsmen wrapped in cloaks working made her numb. Only when everyone was dressed warmly could work efficiency be improved.

Therefore, the Silver Edge Squad, which is capable of repelling and even hunting down ancient dragons, has a mission today.
-

Gathering mission: Find warm fur (★)

Mission content: Submit 10 pieces of fur that can keep you warm
Reward: 800 gold

Mission location: Everfrost

Possible monsters: Ice Jackal, Bull Dragon, Winter Wing Dragon
Limited time: 1 day

Supply squad leader: As long as it can keep you warm, any fur will do, the more the better, go!
-

Gordon curled his lips and regained his original intention.
Gordon put the task sheet given to him by the supply squad leader into his hunter's notes, and studied the map provided by Feng Ying for a while before making a decision.

"You said that few people have been to the snow forest in the west, right? Let's go there."

Feng Ying came over and blinked at the map. "You ran so far?"

"Well, on the one hand, it is to avoid excessive hunting near the base and destroy the ecological balance, and on the other hand, it is also to expand the map."

"Oh, there happen to be a lot of ice jackals in the forest over there, in groups. We can bring back more at a time."

Feng Ying said as she pulled a sled over and put it on Amber.

Liefeng looked at them with envy, barking "Woof~" non-stop. Ansel decided to satisfy him, so he borrowed a large sled from the transport team of the Fourth Regiment and put it on.

This thing is usually pulled by two snow deer, but the gale was strong enough that it still pulled the sled very fast.

The Silver Edge group got on two sleds and set off.

"If the purpose is to obtain fur, wouldn't it be more efficient to hunt larger creatures such as bobo or snow deer?" Ai Bo, who was traveling with the editor, asked curiously.

It was obvious that she had never been exposed to any of this before.

Hayata patiently explained to her, "Bobo's skin is too thick and his hair is too long, so it is very stiff and not suitable for clothing. It can only be used to make tents.

The fur of snow deer is quite good, and the cold-proof clothing for the snowy mountains is made of snow deer fur, but it is said that the fur of ice jackal is softer and warmer, and the preferred material of [Ice Wolf] is also the thick fur of ice jackal.

So our first target is the Ice Jackal."

The young editor nodded in understanding.

The hounds pulled the sled and galloped through the snowy forest.

In less than an hour, they arrived deep in the snowy forest, more than ten kilometers away from the Yuechen stronghold.

Gordon suddenly understood why Feng Ying was still not very good at walking on the snow after being in the Everfrost Permafrost for a month or two.

It turns out that they usually travel by sled, which is much more efficient than walking.

As the Fang Hound was running, he suddenly slowed down.

Xianglan, curled up in Hayata's arms, sniffed and gave a warning, "There is a fishy smell of carnivores, meow. This area should be where they often move around, meow."

Gordon nodded and ordered the two hounds to stop and wait where they were.

Hayata glanced at the snow and said, "It's okay. It should be Chen Xue. The snow is hard and won't affect the movement."

Several people got off the sled one after another.

At Hayata's suggestion, their shin guards were wrapped with thick fur, which not only kept them waterproof and warm, but also increased the contact surface to prevent their feet from sinking too deep into the snow.

"You came so quickly, so we don't have to look for it." Ansel got off the sled and directly set up the heavy crossbow, pulling the bolt to load the bullet.

They have been surrounded.

Seven or eight black and white beasts, more than two meters or nearly three meters long and half a person's height, growled and surrounded and approached them.

"Don't fire." Gordon pressed the muzzle of Ansher's gun. "After you fire this shot, will you still have the fur?"

Anhil looked at him strangely.

How can the scene where you, the one using a greatsword, chop down with one blow be more beautiful than when I shoot with a crossbow?
Those two swords and shield axes next to them aren’t much better, right?

Gordon waved his hand, signaling his companions to stay calm, pulled down his armor, and walked forward alone.

The ice jackals are violent and fearless, and they dare to pounce on and bite large monsters. Naturally, they will not be scared away by hunters who are not much different in size from them.

Facing Gordon's approach, an ice jackal howled and pounced on him.

Gordon did not dodge, allowing the ice jackal to pounce on him, then wrap around him like a python, tightening its body, trying to restrain him.

The other ice jackals were also ready to pounce and were ready to go.

This is the most standard hunting method of the ice jackal, entanglement and then siege.

The ice jackal's sharp claws and fangs continuously scraped the surface of the [Crazy Mark], but it could not even leave a scratch. It was even more unrealistic to think that it could shred the armor by tightening its muscles.

Gordon reached out and grabbed the back of the neck of the ice jackal that was trying to bite his throat, exerting force with his palm.

A crisp "click" sound was heard.

The ice jackal that was wrapped around him twitched twice, then became motionless, hanging limply on his body like a large scarf.

Gordon turned around and spread his hands to his companions, "Just like that, we have a perfect fur."

"."

Anxier's eyes twitched, "You are becoming less and less like a human being."

Ps.
　The leader of the Seliana stronghold in the game is an illegal immigrant from the New World. In this book, his position as the leader of the investigation squad was given to Gordon, and he himself has little presence. It would be a bit too forced to continue to let him lead everyone, so I won't bring him up.

　　I feel like this character is one of the more boring characters in MHW emm
　　(After the Icefield Bull Dragon plot, the commander-in-chief handed over the responsibility of leading Yuechen to Heihu, then turned around and whispered to the blue mute: "Then I'll leave it to you."

　　That scene was so fucking awesome, it still leaves a deep impression on me after all these years)
