Monster Hunter: This fire dragon has special characteristics

"Oh, Jixiu, thank you for your hard work!"

The grand leader sighed and swallowed the stew in several mouthfuls. He took the statistics sheet that Ji Xiu had brought over and looked at it carefully by the campfire.

Master Yuanye made room for Ji Xiu, and immediately Ellu cat trotted over carrying hot water and food.

"Thanks!"

Ji Xiu took the food, thanked the busy El Cat, and then spoke with a serious face.

"The herbivorous dragons near us migrated today. Because the distance was too far and the road was too dangerous, the investigators responsible for tracking these herbivorous dragons were unable to follow them. With our current food inventory, we can only It can last for three days.”

This is still a conservative estimate. Hunters are powerful in combat, but their food intake is directly proportional to their combat power. It is no exaggeration to say that the food intake of some small three- to four-meter carnivorous dragons is not as good as that of hunters. After three days, this is still Data based on the premise that Aunt Cat came up with a new recipe using cactus balls instead of some vegetables and mushrooms.

"In addition to food, medicinal materials, bandages, and the fruit of the guide bugs have all bottomed out. At least in the next few days, we can no longer use the guide bugs as wantonly as before."

"Among the sixteen hunters, eleven have been injured. Among them, Oldnor's injuries are no longer able to support his continued investigation mission. We have gone too far into the Great Ant Mound Wasteland and have not had any contact with the orcs here. And the cat carriage from the other side of the forest can’t come over.”

Hearing this, the grand leader nodded. This is a very serious problem. Even though the hunter is physically strong, Odno was hit by an angry earth sand dragon in order to save a scholar next to him, and his sternum was damaged. It was broken in many places, and if he didn't get treatment as soon as possible, his career as a hunter might be over.

This is unacceptable to the grand leader.

There were only 18 hunters in their first group. Losing one elite member so easily was a huge blow to the investigation team.

Looking at the frowning brows of the grand leader, Ji Xiu sighed and continued.

"Actually, the above are not the most troublesome. In the case of Oldnor, we only need to deploy two additional hunters to take him back to the stars first. The real trouble is our weapons and ammunition."

"Even though we collected a lot of fruits that can be used to make ammunition along the way, the crossbowmen's ammunition is almost empty, and the archers' arrows are also running low. Every hunter has more or less armor. The armors of two Taitoji were so damaged that they could no longer be used."

"Tachiji...that's normal."

The swordsman opposite nodded. Although he used a big sword, he was equally proficient in Tai Sword. The Tai Sword users of the first group had also received his teachings and learned some extremely dangerous but highly profitable moves.

The benefits are proportional to the risks. When Taito users are fighting on the front line, they are often the ones who suffer the most damage.

"The armor is one thing, but the weapons are also not optimistic. The weapons of the three most serious dual swordsmen are on the verge of being scrapped, and the sharpening stones have been used up. They can only collect materials and rebuild them, but..."

Ji Xiu didn't finish what he said, but everyone present had rich experience.

Going back and rebuilding it is not as fast as collecting other materials to create a new pair.

"Emm, it seems that Lubomir will scold me to death after returning to the stars!"

The head of the group smiled bitterly.

Lubomir, a draconian forger and a draconian mechanic, is responsible for the creation and maintenance of weapons and equipment for the first phase of the regiment, as well as the construction of the defense facilities of the stronghold.

He and his three El Cat apprentices are the only ones in the entire first group who can take on this job.

Hunter's equipment is made of various biological materials plus metal, which is a very delicate job.

This time he came out and gained nothing, and the equipment of the hunters he obtained had reached its limit. He was afraid that even if he worked overtime, it would take him a month to repair the equipment. Before that, the combat effectiveness of the Star Stronghold would be It will drop a lot.

"We can't delay it any longer. This investigation has been a complete failure. It's better to go back early, regroup, and lay a good foundation for those who may come in the future."

The dragon hunter said calmly, without too many expressions on his face, and these heart-wrenching words did not make his emotions fluctuate at all.

The atmosphere around the campfire immediately cooled down.

This is a cruel fact.

It has been five years since their first group arrived in the New World!

For five years, they seemed to have been forgotten by the Hunter Guild. Not a single communication ship came to check on the progress, and not a single supply ship came to provide them with supplies.

If everyone hadn't been mentally prepared before coming to the New World, the five years of difficult survival alone would have been enough to break most people's will.

"Humph! Let's go back then! As you said, we need to retain our strength and make a good start for those who come after us!"

The grand leader clapped his knees and stood up, and began to shout loudly towards the camp, informing everyone of the decision and starting the return journey tomorrow.

The next day, the New World Star Stronghold.

While looking at the document and comparing the 'Moon Stone' with the pictures in the document, Nori let out a sigh.

"It's not..."

The cold Moon Stone reflected a tinge of purple in the sunlight. He was one of the people left behind in the stars. During these days, Nori soaked in the ocean of books, constantly exploring this piece he named. The secret of the 'Moon Stone' stone.

Unfortunately, nothing has been found so far.

Just as he stretched and was about to pick up some fruit to fill his stomach that had not eaten for ten minutes, a little sail first appeared on the edge of the horizon, and soon, a keelboat appeared on the sea level.

This discovery made Nori stunned for a moment, and then he was extremely excited.

Five years! Five whole years! Finally a ship appeared!

He bit the big pear, took out the hook from his waist and rushed to the cable on the side, and slid to the coast at the bottom of the mountain with the hook.

After a rough transformation, a simple platform was built with the broken wreckage of the Star Ship.

The acting leader who also stayed behind was working here.

"Acting leader! Acting leader!"

The excited shouting made the acting leader Carlos sigh.

This glutton, although an excellent editor, is not only a good eater, but also very energetic. He once rode on the back of a mad Orodon for a full half hour without being thrown off.

Carlos recently had some new ideas. He believed that the current editors were responsible for more than an editor should have, and had become a new profession. Therefore, he planned to change the name of editors to compilers, who would be mainly responsible for recording everything they saw and cooperating with hunters to handle some clerical trivia.
