Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Hunting cats are small and light, weighing less than one-third of hunters.

Even a pterosaur with a docile temperament and not too much strength can fly easily and quickly with them.

Setting off before sunrise, when the sky was just darkening, the lava valley was filled with fire and the lava was churning. It was like a legendary hell-like scene that appeared in front of the hunters.

The hunting cats found a relatively safe place to land.

The strong smell of sulfur in the air made Pandan want to sneeze.

Instructing his companions to stay on alert, he quickly climbed to the top of a boulder and looked around the formation.

After confirming that there were no monsters around, it felt relieved and was about to come down.

The sneezing that I had suppressed before suddenly couldn't be stopped, and I "sneeze!" several times in a row.

A chestnut-brown Ellu named Li Zi stretched out her paw, poked the mushroom, and asked in a low voice: "Why did the captain climb on the rock to sneeze?"

Mushroom scratched his pointed ears with tufts and said, "Isn't it a good idea, meow? Maybe there is some special purpose, meow?"

"Maybe you think it doesn't look good to sneeze in front of us with a snot on your face, meow?" the straight-tempered boar guessed.

"Maybe meow"

Not knowing how her companions planned her in their minds, Xianglan rubbed her nose and straightened her cat armor, jumped down from the boulder, and ran back to her companions.

Keenly aware that something was wrong in the eyes of its companions, it asked: "What were you talking about just now?"

"No meow!"

"Say nothing meow!"

"?"

Pandan glanced at them suspiciously.

In order to restore Teacher Pandan's image, Mushroom changed the topic hastily and abruptly.

"Why is Teacher Xianglan wearing the Purple Poison Princess this time? Isn't the performance of the Dark Lantern Totoro armor better?"

Xianglan felt a little confused, but she still answered seriously, "Although the Ming Lan set looks better and is even easier to use, its resistance to high temperatures and flames is too poor."

When traveling to volcanic areas, Purple Poison Princess is more suitable.

By the way, you all should pay attention, meow. If your hair is burned by the lava, you have to shave it off, meow. "

After hearing this, Lizi and Boar subconsciously stayed away from the dark red cracks on the ground where semi-molten magma flowed.

Mushrooms seem to be relatively indifferent. They never care about appearance.

"Ah, by the way, Meow, you put this on Meow."

Xianglan took out several pairs of cat paw covers made of heat-resistant leather from her luggage and distributed them to her companions.

"It can avoid scalding the meatballs. My master made it. Everyone should be grateful to Hayata-sama."

I was wearing this when I lured the Tyrannosaurus that was running away from its lair back to the depths of the volcano, meow! "

While distributing the leather claw sheaths, Xianglan chattered a lot. She didn't know whether she was showing off her achievements that year or showing off her master's concern.

But it seems to underestimate Hayata's reputation and status among the hunters of the Survey Corps.

The mushrooms that I often come into contact with are okay, but the chestnut boar is really flattered.

Throwing away the messy speculations in his mind, he took the pandan with both paws and handed it to the cat's paw holder, meowing in unison, "Thank you, Master Hayata, meow!"

"Meow meow~" Xianglan nodded with satisfaction and took out the map, "Come over and take a look, meow, we are ready to take action, meow."

By this time the sun had set and the sky was completely dark.

In this case, hunters usually choose to find a camp and rest for the night, but hunting cats do not need to.

Hunting cats are good at night vision and prefer to move at night.

The sleeping habits of cats are also different from people. They do not need long and continuous sleep time, and are more accustomed to taking naps in fragmented time.

The pterosaurs took turns dozing off for a while on the way here, and they could be said to be full of energy at this time.

We found a hiding place and the four cats huddled together.

"The most important thing now is to find the broken dragon cat first." Xianglan said nonsense with a serious face.

Mushroom was silent for two seconds and then asked cautiously: "Where should we go to search for Meow first?"

Xianglan put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course it is. I just want to think about it, meow."

Xianglan stared at the map, lost in thought.

It is true that it is an excellent and experienced hunting cat, but whether it is investigating or hunting, it is never its turn to decide the course of action.

Xianglan was confused for a moment.

I wanted to ask the other three cats for their opinions, but I felt that it would be embarrassing and would make me seem unqualified as a captain.

So he crossed his arms, shook his beard, and tried to remember what Gordon and Hayata usually did.

"Mmm, meow."

Xianglan thought seriously, and in the expectant eyes of her companions, she said seriously: "If you want to find traces of a monster, you must first analyze its habits.

The location of the nest, feeding habits, territory range, and even the distribution of surrounding monsters must be taken into consideration.

In this way, you can roughly outline some areas where target monsters are more likely to appear frequently. Searching in these areas will make it easier to find clues. "

"That's it, meow!"

"This is Hayata-sama's companion, Meow!"

The two Elu looked like they had "learned".

Mushroom's eyes showed admiration, "As expected of Teacher Xianglan, you must have fully investigated before setting off, meow!

In this way, we will definitely be able to find the target soon, meow! "

The corners of Xianglan's eyes trembled, feeling that the expectant and trusting eyes of her three companions were putting her on the fire.

After hunting with Hayata and the others for so many years, I definitely have theoretical knowledge, and there is certainly no shortage of practical experience.

If you switch to a more common monster, such as a fire dragon, you can indeed filter out the areas where the target may appear by analyzing its habits.

But the problem is

How do I know where Broken Dragon likes to nest? Do they really have the habit of building nests?

By the way, who knows what Broken Dragon likes to eat? I only know that Broken Dragon is a carnivorous monster cat, but can eating a spirit deer and eating a flying dragon be the same cat?

As for the distribution of surrounding monsters and the scope of their territory, it’s even more outrageous.

In recent days, due to the influence of abnormal weather and "singing", the situation of monsters running around is too serious. Analysis cannot be done.

But if you say "I don't know!" at this time, it will be embarrassing on the one hand, and the team's morale will also be dissipated, meow!

Even if you are pretending, you must give an answer, meow!

Pandan's beard trembled and she stared at the map for a while. Then she suddenly stretched out a paw and circled an area.

"I think it's most likely to meow in this area!"

The heads of the companions came closer.

"Big Lava Lake?! Isn't this the core area of ​​the Lava Canyon?!" Li Zi exclaimed.

The wild boar also seemed a little nervous, "There seems to be a rumor that ancient dragons live here, meow. Are we really going there?"

"I understand, nya!"

Mushroom raised his head in confusion, "Based on the monster's habits, that's what it means, meow!"

I heard Mr. Alva say that Broken Dragon likes to challenge the strong, meow!

They also like to use the high temperature of magma to repeatedly burn the carapace. During the rebirth process, the carapace will be mixed with metal components and become stronger!

This is like starting from habits! "

Xianglan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, "That's right, meow! That's what I thought, meow!"

You must know that our target is not an ordinary dragon-shattering cat! But fierce! burst! Broken Dragon Meow!

For that guy, apart from the ancient dragon species, what other powerful enemies are worthy of challenge?

And the big lava lake meow! If you are looking for magma, which side has more magma? "

Pandan's confident tone was very convincing, and the three cats nodded.

"But it's so far away from the big lava lake, why didn't we land there from the beginning?" The boar asked doubtfully.

"Because of intuition, meow."

Xianglan looked serious, "My intuition tells me that landing from here and then walking all the way to the big lava lake is the best search path, meow!"
