hunt and eat

Chapter 194 Isn't it normal to grow ten centimeters after a birthday?
Although Guta couldn't wait to petition to join the battle, the group still stayed in Dede Village for two more days because Weiwei needed to make snowball bird armor.

The beast's defensive armor, unlike the equipment of ordinary hunters, has special molds to assist in its production.

It was also thanks to Weiwei's proficiency in splicing and forging, plus the ability of the legendary forging hammer [Molten Iron Resurrection] to increase the strength of materials with a probability.

It took three days to wear a huge brass-colored armor, but it was finally knocked out by Weiwei.

"I said, wasn't it golden in the first place? Why did it become the dull color it is now?"

Adhering to the good habit of asking when he doesn't understand, Guta looked at Weiwei with some incomprehension.

"It's so bright in the desert, are you afraid that monsters won't notice you?"

Weiwei rolled her eyes angrily.

With this explanation, there is really nothing to say about the ancient pagoda.

"Come on, Snowball, put it on and have a look?"

Weiwei called Chocobo, who had watched the excitement for a long time, first rubbed the other's rounder bird's head affectionately, and then, with the assistance of Guta and Miejue, put the armor on it little by little.

Snowball didn't intend to resist at all, and cooperated with everyone obediently.

This is very rare among mounted beasts, after all, most mounts don't like to put things on themselves.

But Xueqiu was obviously an exception, she didn't reject it at all, and even had a kind of joy in wearing new clothes.

Even after putting on the armor, he ran around Schiff energetically, just like a child from someone else's family who showed off the PSP in front of his friends when he was young.

"You didn't install any strange devices this time, did you?"

Guta lowered his head and glanced at the red-haired girl beside him.

"How can it be..." Weiwei shrugged and said in a low voice: "It's also the first time I forged the armor of the mount. It's my skill to be able to forge it. How dare I add things."

"Wait, no..."

As if sensing something, Weiwei raised her head, looked at the ancient pagoda that was close at hand, and asked with some stumbles: "Why can you look down on me?"

Hell, everyone is about 1.9 meters tall, and even if the dragon horns are not counted, the ancient tower is a little shorter.

Why do I look up at the ancient pagoda now?
"I thought you all found out, and I was just being sentimental for a long time."

Guta scratched his head, looked at Weiwei who was shocked, and Nia who was also dumbfounded from a distance, and said.

"Don't you wonder why I don't wear equipment today, but plain clothes?"

For hunters, wearing neat equipment at all times is a necessary professional quality.

So normally speaking, Guta's behavior in plain clothes is quite rare.

"Didn't you complain a few days ago that there was some smell in the armor? I thought you washed it."

Nia said with some embarrassment.

"So, what did you eat? You can grow so much taller all at once."

Looking at the ancient tower, which was nearly 2 meters tall at this time, Niya looked envious.

For the topic of growing taller, Nia never tires of it from beginning to end.

Although in fact, what really needs attention on this topic is the extinction of the 1.6-meter standard height that has been maintained since a few years ago.

"I remember I said that it is the ability obtained from the stockade crab."

Guta scratched his head speechlessly and said.

【The Body of the Ancient】

[As the age and combat experience increase, the owner's size, strength, defense, true energy (limited to humans), and dragon power (limited to dragon blood) will all increase significantly.

After the battle with Fierce Demon, the skill level of Guta's ability has been raised to LV28.

After completing the two tasks of the tiger shark removal plan and the capture of the female charmander (because once and for all, the problem of the elderly individuals of the female charmander was fundamentally solved, Hawke made an exception and stamped a final chapter on the task list), Guta His [Ancient Body's Shell] ability also came to LV29 smoothly.

Of course, because of the characteristic that the ability will be greatly improved every 5 levels, the ancient tower is still two meters away.

until last night...

Just after midnight, accompanied by the sound of clothes shattering, Guta was shocked to find that he had jumped more than ten centimeters in one breath.

There is no need to be suspicious at all, Guta directly looked at the ability of [Ancient Man's Body] on his status bar.

Sure enough, it has quietly arrived at LV30.

But... why?
If calculated according to combat experience, I have just been promoted to LV29, so logically speaking, there is still a long way to go before LV30.

There is only one possibility.

It's all because of my age!

If I guess correctly, today... no, maybe it should be yesterday, it should be my birthday.

And immediately after his birthday, the ability of [Ancient Man's Shell] was forcibly upgraded by one level because Guta was one year older.

It's a little too rigid, but that's a good thing.

This means that even if you don't do anything and just lie down and be a salted fish every day, as long as you live long enough, the ability of [the body of the ancient] will also actively improve itself as you grow older .

And with my dragon-man physique, I'm afraid it's no problem to live for hundreds of years, and I'm afraid I won't be regarded as a dragon-man like the great elder by then~
Guta thought so happily.

By the way, after reaching LV40, the Dragon Devouring Power of the ancient tower was also raised to LV5, unlocking a new strengthening part [Void Bag].

It sounds a bit mysterious, but in fact, the stomach pouch has been strengthened, and it has an almost terrifying digestion ability.

In theory, it is already possible to eat infinitely.

Cooperating with the gluttonous body of the ancient tower itself, it is equivalent to being able to completely repair one's own injuries by eating crazily.

I don't know whether the stomach of the ancient tower is connected to the void as the name says, or whether the gastric juice has been strengthened to the point that it can corrode everything.

If it's the latter, maybe I should torture myself and make some strong acid, maybe it can be of great use when hunting?
"Think about it again, did you really not eat anything special?"

Nia was persuasively persuasive... No, this can no longer be called persuasion, this is simply fabricating the non-existence of memory.

"..."

To be honest, Guta has never been able to understand Nia's inexplicable obsession with height.

This year, she is a little smaller than herself when she just turned fourteen, and her height is almost 1.7 meters.

You must know that when she first came to the mainland, Nia was only a little over 1.6 meters, which is considered to be growing very fast.

But everyone has different ideas, which is actually quite normal, and Guta is willing to respect her ideas most of the time.

Correspondingly, at some point, Guta also hopes that Nia can respect her own ideas, such as not wanting to write witness reports, not wanting to do boring daily tasks, and so on.

After all, respect is mutual~
