hunt and eat

"Wow, it's amazing. Fortunately, there was no conflict that day." Guta applauded with lingering fear.

"What about this one?" Niya pointed to the portrait on the side, a silver-black head, one side where the wings should be, covered by countless black lines.

Speaking of this, Hawke's expression suddenly became serious.

"If you encounter this guy, you must remember to run away...it is much more dangerous than the fierce demon you encountered before."

"This is the first time we have witnessed two individuals of the ancient dragon species, two steel dragons, hunting difficulty 95, and their names..."

"Black Wing Demon."

……

Chapter 126 [Seven Deadly Sins] and Dimensionality Reduction Strike

"Isn't there a lot of two individuals we've encountered recently?"

On the way to Miaoshi Restaurant, Guta said strangely with his hands folded behind his head.

"Great Demon, Fat Tiger, Purple Poison Fairy, and the sand lion that I killed before I had time to name it, that's four already." Guta counted with his fingers.

Ever since he discovered that [Blood of Rage] and [Skin of Sloth], which have a series of fettered abilities, were taken from two monsters, he has been extremely concerned about any two monsters he encounters.

After all, if the one I missed happened to have the ability to correspond to the [Seven Deadly Sins], it would be really uncomfortable.

Yes, the Seven Deadly Sins.

In fact, from the beginning of [Sloth Skin], he vaguely doubted whether the seven abilities corresponded to the seven crimes referred to in Catholicism.

Lust, gluttony, greed, laziness, rage, jealousy, and arrogance, the crimes are in increasing order of viciousness.

The three abilities that have been obtained so far are lust, rage, and laziness.

Among them, the level of fury is the highest among the three abilities that have been obtained so far, and it is the ancient dragon level that presents a dark purple color.

Not surprisingly, the two abilities of jealousy and arrogance can only be obtained from the two ancient dragon-level monsters who are the same as Fierce Demon.

Just thinking about it makes you head up.

"Hawke said that the two new strange steel dragons should be the rusty steel dragon that once fought against the fierce demon, so it has something to do with us." Niya analyzed from the side.

"Then we are very lucky~" Guta spread his hands, with a speechless expression on his face, "Others may not be able to see two individuals in this life, we have met in a row for more than a month. Four, and one can only be related to us."

"Vivi, is your bad luck contagious?"

"Huh?" Weiwei glared at Guta viciously with the expression of what you gauze are talking about, "You want me to set off coal crystals in your hammer, right? Although I do have explosive hammers plan..."

"I was wrong, please don't." Hearing this, Guta immediately gave in.

He didn't want to risk his own life to test the possibility of Weiwei's imagination.

Not at all!

Just talking and laughing like this, a group of people soon came to Miao Shi Restaurant, ready to solve today's lunch problem.

The cat boss was rarely here today, so Nia and Qiaoqiao simply used the stove in the shop to cook the ingredients collected from the cannon beetle yesterday.

Yes, even though it is a crustacean monster, the cannon beetle actually has a lot of edible parts.

Whether it is the insect meat known as the best in the desert, the fascia of the joints, or the insect brain with the head like tofu, they are all rare and delicious.

Although for hunters in other regions, most of these ingredients contain some dark cuisine, not everyone can accept it.

Nia and Qiaoqiao were cooking over there, and the rest of them sat around a round table and chatted casually.

"Guta, did you mention to Nia yesterday that you want to go to Don Doruma?" Weiwei asked without raising her head while assembling the mechanical device in her hand.

"Ah, I said it before..." Guta lay on the table and rubbed his sleepy eyelids, "You all know my ability, only from the powerful new breed of monsters can I get the most Yield, at present here in the Dede Desert, is of little help to me."

Guta said helplessly.

After killing the cannon beetle yesterday, except for some low-level conventional abilities, Guta only found one special ability.

【Beetle blaster】

Originally, this ability should actually be quite good, knowing that Guta saw a line of small characters written below.

[This ability will generate corresponding mutated organs]

After thinking for a while about the pair of ferocious mouthparts of the cannon beetle, Guta was shocked immediately, and then decisively chose X, instead taking away the defense power of the cannon beetle.

As mentioned before, simply taking the monster's physical fitness is actually the least profitable.

Not to mention anything else, even the seemingly conventional [Strong Muscle] provided by [Zhanlong] can provide the ancient tower with more than 0.3 tons of muscle strength at once. If it is only obtained from monsters, how can it Say it will take a few months.

The value of those special abilities was immediately reflected.

And through the hunting experience during this period, Guta can roughly confirm that, aside from those special individuals and two monsters, these abilities are all related to the racial characteristics of different types of monsters.

This also means that only by hunting new monsters that have not been encountered before, Guta can give full play to the core talent of [Swallow Yuan] and maximize his ability.

"The selection of the ancient dragon group will be half a year later. The winning reserve will be directly promoted to a full member, and the strength rating of the team will also ignore the requirements of merit points and directly make a leap."

"My dear teammates, what is this? This is an opportunity!" Guta patted the table vigorously and shouted loudly.

"I know~ I know." Weiwei waved her hands indifferently, "But if you win, don't you have to go to the New World in three years?"

"It's fine to go to a place you don't know at all. As the leader of the investigation team, you have to stay there for an unknown number of years. Can you really bear it?"

Weiwei looked at Guta suspiciously.

According to her understanding of the ancient tower, whether it is leading the team or stationing, it is the thing that the ancient tower hates to do the most.

Will this guy take the initiative to join in?

Killing her can't believe it.

"Hey, about this..." Guta scratched his head and said with some pride, "We just don't want to be the first? I've inquired about it. There are five winners in the selection, and everyone can bring their own team. Among them, No.1 is the team leader, and we only need to be in the top five.”

"In this case, we can still go to the New World. After the vanguard base is stabilized, we can take the airship and return to the mainland. It will take about half a year to a year. I think it's completely OK~"

"I feel that if other contestants hear what you say, they will probably want to beat you to death." Weiwei complained from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, if they can do it, they can do it..." Guta smiled lightly, and then unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "Senior Valentina, please ask me to teach me a lesson. What about these contemporaries~”

"Then they are too miserable."

Weiwei and Miejin looked at each other, and mourned in advance for those reserve members of the ancient dragon regiment.

Although Guta's words sound a little arrogant, his strength is indeed real, and he has even vaguely touched the threshold of a full-time player.

There is still half a year before the start of the competition. During this time, who knows how much he will improve.

With his abnormal talent of plundering monsters at will, it is impossible for anyone to improve his strength faster than him.

Meeting such a competitor who is impossible to catch up to is simply everyone's nightmare.

It can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

But what does this have to do with them?

Guta belongs to their team, and is still the captain in name!

Thinking of this, Wei Wei and Mie Jin Qiqi felt a sense of peace of mind.

……

Chapter 127 This Man Is Worthy of Everything!

"What are you talking about, you are so excited!"

Nia, who was busy in the kitchen, came out with a plate of stir-fried worm meat with green peppers.

"I'm talking about the selection of the ancient dragon group... Wow, this worm meat is fine~" Guta turned his head to look at the newly served dishes, feeling suddenly amazed.

The snow-white worm meat, which has the texture of crab legs, is fried together with a large number of finely chopped green peppers. At this time, it is inexplicably covered with a crispy fried shell, which looks particularly appetizing.

"I didn't expect the effect to be so good. You should take a few bites while it's hot." Nia said with a smile.

"Long live! Nia, you are the best!" Weiwei hugged Nia touchingly for a while, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the worm meat, mouth puffed up while eating, and said vaguely, " good to eat".

"Just pamper him~" Guta glanced helplessly at the smiling Nia, then said in a low voice, "I'm starting!", and took a sip.

Mieju on the side started to feast on white rice the moment Nia finished speaking.

It's also interesting to say that Weiwei is the oldest in the team, almost three years older than Guta and the others, but her psychological age is actually the youngest. Basically, except for Guta, everyone will subconsciously spoil her.

"How is it?" Nia looked at the crowd of foodies.

"Um~"

The three of them gave their thumbs up while chewing on the crispy, tender, slightly spicy snow-white worm meat.

"Just as long as you're satisfied, I'm going to do the next few dishes. Don't fight over grabbing vegetables~" As if trying to persuade a child, Nia gave some instructions, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

Qiao Qiao called her just now, it is likely that the boiled worm brain tofu flower is cooked and needs to be seasoned.

"I said, don't eat..." Guta patted Weiwei's chopsticks angrily, and at the same time glanced at Mieji who was quietly holding the vegetables, "Eat again, what will Nia eat later?"

Hearing this, the two put down their chopsticks in shame.

However, Miejue's belly still continued to sing the battle song.

There was also more and more saliva around the mouth, and within a short time, he had swallowed no less than ten times.

It's quite a replay of the gluttony period of the ancient pagoda.

"..."

"Forget it, you can eat it." Guta covered his face with his hands and waved his hands.

What else can he do in this situation?

Guta, who also went through that stage, can understand the pain of suppressing the urge to eat.

Mieju's performance is already much better than his previous performance.

……

after a full meal

Everyone was lying on the bench outside the house, casually chatting about their future plans.

"Qiaoqiao, we may be leaving next month, what do you think?" Guta's expression suddenly became more serious when talking about business.

"I..." Qiaoqiao hesitated a little, and glanced at the bar of the cooking house.

But in the end, it clenched its fists tightly and said seriously: "I want to go with you."

"The maximum number of people in the team currently stipulated by the guild is four, which means that we are theoretically full. If you want to join, Qiao Qiao, you may only be able to join as a supporter, that is, Ai Lumao in the regular team. The addition of the follower position... what does this mean, do you know, Jojo?"

Guta did not shy away from the existing problems, but directly pointed them out.

The tradition of four-person top match in a team can be traced back to when the hunter profession was first established.

At that time, it was said that the first hunter who walked out of Kokot Village gathered four companions to fight against a powerful monster that attacked the village, and launched a crusade against the monster in the form of a five-member team.

Before the battle began, the hunter found his fiancée, a woman who was rumored to be as beautiful as a white crystal, and wanted her to withdraw from the monster crusade to prevent her from being harmed.

But in the end, under the strong will of the latter, the hunter finally compromised.

In the final ending, the powerful monster was completely defeated, but the hunter's fiancée also died in that battle.

Because of this incident, the number five has become a very unlucky number by default.Even for hunting in small groups, a maximum of four people has become a commonly known rule, and is listed as an absolute taboo of the Hunter's Guild.

However, regarding this taboo, there are actually many things that the ancient pagoda does not understand.

The most simple and straightforward is, since 5 people are not allowed, then 6 people, 7 people or even more people, so why not?

This question directly confused Hawk, who was discussing with Guta at that time.

After hemming and hawing for a long time, he couldn't think of any good reason, so he could only forcefully prevaricate it on the grounds that it was inconvenient to manage.

"Ah, of course I'm clear about this kind of thing." Jojo said seriously with a calm face, "As long as I'm still in the team for a day, I'll never be able to debut as a hunter."

After all, Qiaoqiao has dreamed of becoming an official hunter since many years ago. He is actually the one who knows the rules of the guild the best among all the people present.

"Then you still..."

"Because it's worth it..."

"Guta, you are a man worth everything I gamble on."

Guta was taken aback by Qiao Qiao's words.
