Hotel on the mountain

"Sir! Lord Jetro, something happened."

The genius was slightly bright, and Sith came outside the central suite No. 3 and knocked through the door to wake up Jetro. He was wearing a white shirt and a blue-and-white collar, and he quickly met Sith without putting on his coat. Walk downstairs.

"What's the specific situation?"

When he went downstairs, he greeted everyone from time to time, but it was obvious that many people looked a little solemn.

"Last night, the patrol found an injured hunter. According to him, they encountered a mutated Barbarian jaw dragon. He was the only one in the entire hunting team who came back alive. The death rate of only one person in the four-person hunting team is currently the highest. Supreme, I feel it is necessary to inform you.”

"Yes, I want to know about any unrest. Have their bodies been recovered?"

"Not yet, we are about to organize the manpower and set off."

"Call Dao'er and Gordon, and let's go take a look together."

Sis Raya left as ordered, and Jetro found Thorad's light spot in the world of consciousness, and sent a message to him: "Thorad, someone discovered a mutated Barbarius in the forest to the east. , I hope you can come and see it.”

Standing in front of the window of the room, standing motionless facing the rising sun, Thorad withdrew from the state of tempering his mind. He rubbed his head, seeming a little uncomfortable with the feeling of someone talking in his head anytime and anywhere. So much so that he was silent for a long time without replying, causing Jetro to add another message - "If we are on the same front, then I hope our friendship can last forever."

"Wait a minute, come right away."

Thorad's reply was very concise. He glanced at Sibinet, who had gotten up with him to do morning lessons. The latter had his head lowered, his hands hanging naturally on his sides, and he snored slightly. He actually slept standing up. On fire.

So he had no choice but to knock Sibinet on the head. The latter looked at his father with a serious face in confusion, then raised his hands and stretched. After thinking for a short time, she stretched her arms in a large circle, slowly folded them in front of her belly, and said calmly: "Dad, I feel that my state of mind is very peaceful."

"Xiao Nai, you are as smart as your mother." Thorad stroked Xibinai's still black hair - as people in the Chiyo family grow older, their hair will gradually turn silver from the ends. He said sternly: "You should stay here alone for another two hours, and then ask the waiter to bring you breakfast. Do you understand?"

"Dad, where are you going?!"

"Go check on something related to monsters. I'll be back soon."

…

The large forest to the east does not yet have an official name because hunters have not yet explored its boundaries, so Jetro named it "Marginal Forest" on his own initiative, along with the medium-sized lake not far from the mountain castle in the forest. Named "Marginal Lake".

One is a forest that can't be seen at a glance, and the other is a lake on the other side that can be seen from a high place.

The front of the large group of people was led by Obsward. He looked like a hunter from a lower-class background. He wore cheap hunting clothes and held the easiest-to-obtain equipment, a "piece-hand sword" - a small round hand made of hardwood. Shield plus a handy one-handed machete.

"Obsward, I have a question." Jetro looked at his equipment and asked, "What is the relationship between the person who died last night and you?"

Because they had entered the dense forest, the horses could not walk on the ground like the monsters in the forest, so the group of people could only move forward on foot, and Jetro was no exception. At this time, he walked to Obsward in front, waiting for his answer.

Obsward was a little surprised and surprised, but his freckled face and funny hairstyle did not make him speechless: "Uh... Sir, they are my partners and friends."

Jetro decided to get more information, so he said bluntly: "With all due respect, the information shows that you are only a 2-star level. It seems that you should not be able to join a 5-star hunting team. After all, the Barbarian Eros is a Even a 7-star hunter can’t guarantee to kill the monster, right?”

"Sir, they are all good people!" Obsward's words were a little sad, "Because they think I look like what they were when they were young, so they want to take me to grow up."

So Jetro responded: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you. This is a sad ending and I hope we can find the deceased and give them the burial they deserve."

"It should be like this! Sir! I'm very grateful. They are all good people and should be treated decently." Obsward looked like he was in his early eighteens, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, as if they were stuck with glue. Just stay there. "Although I come from a humble background, I know how people are and they are all good people. They are the best people I have met since I left my parents."

Jetro smiled and nodded and said nothing. Meng Zhina next to him rolled his eyes - he glanced at Obsward and then withdrew his gaze.

When everyone came back from a gentle slope to - according to Obsward - the place where the third victim was sacrificed, they found that there were traces of being burned by the fire, but the fire did not spread. When the bomb barrels placed here exploded, they looked like they were suppressed by a large creature.

The guards who scattered around found some broken and charred pieces of meat. From the equipment on the pieces of meat, it could be seen that they were the remains of a hunter.

But the strange thing is that no monster remnants were found at the scene - not a single carapace or scale, which is enough to prove how strong the mutated Barbarian Elong's defense is.

"Dewen must have led the monster here." Obsward was as helpless as a young man who had lost his dream, "I could have taken him away. Maybe, if they didn't take me, I wouldn't be here." A burden, they will go back alive..."

"It's not your fault - 'Either monster hunter or monster hunter', this is the slogan of the Hunter Guild. We are all ready." Daniel, the handsome 3-star that Jetro brought from the family territory Hunter, who has been called to do some chores by various people recently, finally has the opportunity to come out and do something serious. He comforted Obsward and patted the latter's shoulder to show concern.

According to Obsward, the other two hunters had already been eaten by the monster, so they could only start looking for the monster based on the existing traces. There were so many monsters in the jungle, and the various traces added together made it very difficult for the novice hunters. Fortunately, Thorad was not just a spectator. He helped everyone find the right path and made key points. A nearby tree trunk pointed to a pool of green viscous liquid imprinted on it, and reminded: "We have entered the territory of a certain Barbarian Elongosaurus."

They walked forward for a while, and finally found the body of a black and pink Barbarian Elongated Dragon on a slightly empty haystack.
