hunt and eat

Chapter 22 That's how it will endangered
Early in the morning, Nia dragged the ancient tower with sleepy eyes and unwashed hair, and excitedly pushed aside the curtain of the Hunter's Guild.

In the hall at this time, a few hunters gathered in twos and threes under the mission bulletin board.

"Morning~"

Lilian, the kanban lady who was tidying up the counter, looked at the two of them without any surprise, and greeted them with a smile.

For newcomers, when they first accept guild missions, most of them look like this with high spirits.

"Sister Lilian, have Sanji and the others come?" Nia looked around curiously, but did not see the three brothers and sisters.

Shaking her head, Lilian said: "They came an hour earlier, because they couldn't wait for you, they have already set off."

"Guta, it's all your fault!" The girl knocked on the head of her companion beside her angrily, with such force that even the golden ponytail beside her jumped up.

Touching his head innocently, Guta was speechless.

"We don't do the same task in the first place, so what's the point of waiting for each other?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, here, a task list specially left for you." Lillian took out a task list with a rough and yellowish surface, but it felt like leather, and handed it to Nia.

This is a paper material unique to this world. It is said that it is made of a plant mixed with animal skin fibers.

Although the quality is much worse than the white paper in the previous life, it is superior in that the process is simple, the price is cheap, and the storage time is much longer.

I heard that the earliest batch, that is, those scrolls made when paper was first invented a hundred years ago, are still well preserved, which makes people stunned.

"Thank you, Sister Lilian." Nia bowed politely, and put the task list into her pocket.

This is the certificate for each hunter to accept the mission. Once lost, even if the mission requirements are completed, it may not be recognized.

Of course, it is limited to daily missions, large-scale crusades and high-star missions, even if the mission list is lost, it doesn't matter.Because the materials collected after the hunting is completed, it is impossible to forge or imitate them.

"Then we're about to go, Sister Lilian, is there anything you want to remind us?" Nia kept getting closer, trying to learn as much information about the mission as possible.

"As for the precautions, don't provoke too many dogs and dragons at once." Lilian thought for a while, said a little, and then looked helplessly at Guta beside Nia who was staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Besides, with the ancient tower here, this task will not be difficult for you."

"Okay then, let's go!"

After bidding farewell to the elegant lady on the signboard, the two of the team walked down the stone steps on the other side, and soon saw a piece of lush green.

As the largest and strongest defensive force in the city of Paley, the Hunter's Guild is naturally located at the highest point of the entire city.

At the same time, in order to facilitate material transportation and attack, two emergency passages were built directly to the pier and the marginal forest.

The flat road with nearly three lanes, together with the stone steps on both sides, leads all the way down from the top of the city at a height of more than [-] meters, with a wide view and beautiful scenery.

It has to be said that even in the original world of the ancient pagoda, this can be regarded as a spectacle.

"The dodo's activity area is B-309, near the Yongquan. Let's leave quickly, and we should have time to take over from the previous class of hunters."

Guta glanced at the novice manual and analyzed.

The task of saving the dodo is a long-term novice task, and there are often many newbies who are not strong enough to do it.

Guta's previous task list was taken by a 4-member novice group who had just left the division for less than two months.

Heading south all the way, along the tree-lined trail that was trampled out by humans, the two quickly found the spring near the target location.

This is the place where the dodo group usually drinks water, and it is also very close to their nests.

Speaking of dodos, unlike the extinct ones on the earth, the dodos in this world are larger in size and bright orange-red in feather color.

Of course, the dodo here is also endangered.

I heard that the number dropped below one hundred in the past few years, which made people sweat.

"Hey, here, here."

There was a noise overhead.

Nia and Guta looked up one after another, and saw a young man in a green cloak sitting on a branch, leaning against a tree trunk, greeting them.

Looking at each other, Guta shrugged and was the first to climb up the tree trunk.

"You are the team that will take over from us... why are there only two?" the young man asked in surprise.

Generally speaking, the rookie team is basically fully staffed, and there are rarely fewer than three people.

After all, given the general lack of strength and experience of newcomers, the number can also ensure the completion rate of tasks to a certain extent.

Without explaining the problem, Guta stood on a branch and looked down a few times.

"Captain Nick, where are your teammates?" He asked back.

Because of the task handover, the guild introduced the basic situation of the previous team on the task list in advance.

The young man in front of him should be Captain Nick.

"They're all over there to take care of the dodo flock." Nick pointed to a direction, and a rush of creaking birds could be vaguely heard coming from there.

"So, you've been guarding here for seven days?" Nia asked in surprise as she glanced at the disheveled young man.

As a girl, it was hard for her to imagine what it would be like to squat in this forest for seven days in a row.

With a forced smile helplessly, Nick said, "No way, I'm not strong enough to compare to you."

After saying that, he took a deep look at the two of them with extremely complicated expressions.

Unlike him and his companions who were generally close to adults in the team, the teenagers and girls in front of him were too young.

In addition, there is no way for only two people to take care of the dodo group 24 hours a day, so they should choose the second way to complete it, which is to directly clear the nearby dog ​​dragon group.

Really confident!
Nick didn't think it was because Guta and the others were overthinking their own abilities, because the guild would evaluate the team's possibility of completing the task before accepting the task.

Since they agreed to accept this task, it means that they have recognized the strength of this two-person team.

After making a slight gesture, he jumped off the treetop and began to lead the way.

"A so-called genius..." The young man sighed imperceptibly.

Passing through sparse bushes, the three soon found flocks of dodos in a large clearing.

"Just go straight there, it doesn't matter." Nick said with a smile.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Nia and Guta, he swaggered directly into the group of dodo birds.

The group of dodos, who were bloated and not very smart at first glance, didn't seem to be frightened or fleeing at all, they were still lying on the lawn and playing.

"what's the situation?"

Guta was at a loss.

"They're used to being protected by hunters."

Three youths who were about the same age as Nick walked out from the bushes on the side, and one of them explained a little.

"That's why it's on the verge of extinction. It's not wild at all... Is it really good to protect it like this?" Guta complained.

"We don't know much about ecological protection, so I'll leave it to you."

Nick took the task handover voucher from Guta, nodded, and led his teammates to evacuate one after another.

They haven't closed their eyes for nearly a week, and now they just want to go back to the hotel and get a good night's sleep.

"Well, it's about time to start."

Guta found a stone and spread the map on it.

This is the distribution map of monsters in the nearby area provided by the Hunter's Guild, marking the densely packed lairs and monster types.

Of course, you have to return it after the task is completed, but you are allowed to make a copy by yourself.
