hunt and eat

Chapter 3 The Despicable King - Snow Lion King (Pseudo)

"Guta, you kid got up really early recently."

Early in the morning, rubbing his loose eyelids, Guta was walking on the path of the village in his coat.

At the end of this road is the only well in the village.

On weekdays, everyone gathers there to wash.

Along the way, I met many villagers who also got up early.

Most of them are amateur hunters who get up early and go hunting in the snow-capped mountains.

Yes, "amateur" hunters.

In this world, a hunter is a profession that requires official certification, which is somewhat similar to adventurers in other worlds, and the two are of similar nature.

However, unlike adventurers who "rob houses", "kill innocent people" and "rob houses", hunters not only have more difficult exams, but their responsibilities are more noble than 01:30.

In addition to accepting the tasks of the guild on weekdays, in times of emergency, the hunters also have to obey the dispatch of the hunter guild, carry out disaster prevention and control work, or crusade against the beasts that destroy the ecology and attack humans.

Of course, the definition of this disaster beast is relatively broad. The lower limit can be as low as the small shield crab that invades the beach, and the upper limit can be as high as the black nightmare dragon-the prison gate.

Although the strength of the participants varies greatly, in essence, both belong to hunters.

"I can't help it. In three months, the hunter's guild's assessment ship will arrive."

Guta dipped some special potion on wicker, brushed his teeth vigorously, and his mouth was full of bubbles after a while.

After hearing this, the men in the village shook their heads almost imperceptibly.

Although Guta's physical fitness has obviously improved recently, in fact, it is still some distance from the average physical fitness of the villagers.

In their village, even Nia, who is the most physically fit, is a little doubtful whether she can pass the assessment, let alone the ancient pagoda at the end of the crane.

However, they are not easy to dampen the youth's self-confidence. After all, back then, who didn't have the heart to become a hunter?

Dreams are still necessary, what if one day they suddenly come true?
Yaoyao waved goodbye to everyone, and Guta got into the snow mountain jungle alone.

Unlike the last time, his gradually strengthening physique was enough for him to go in and out of the snow mountain jungle normally, and the village chief's mother-in-law just warned him not to go too deep into the snow mountain.

On the periphery, there is really nothing that can pose a dangerous prey.

Stepping on the creaking white snow under his feet, Guta slowly headed towards the snow-capped mountains, carrying a broad-bladed bone knife he got from an old hunter.

This is a spare product eliminated by the opponent. It seems that because of too long time, the special power on it has almost dissipated.

But the hardness of its own texture is still enough for a half-sized ancient pagoda to use.

Satisfaction flicked the bone knife with his fingers, and Guta's mind moved, and he called out his own attribute panel.

【Ancient Tower】

[Occupation: Villager]

[Abilities: Cold Resistance LV2, Reflex LV1, Agility LV1]

That's right, after a long period of training in Guta, the cold resistance came to LV2 unknowingly.As for rebound and agility, the former was obtained when he killed a seriously injured shield crab one day when the tide was high.

The latter was obtained from the elf deer that he and Nia hunted together.

It is worth mentioning that prey that is too weak, such as snow rabbits or bugs, cannot gain any abilities.

Reminiscing about the shield crab meat he ate last time, and the elf venison leg that he baked later, the corners of Guta's mouth seemed to burst a dike, drooling.

I don't know, but compared to the shield crab pot rice I ate last time, the prey I hunted with my own hands is at least three times more delicious!
You still have to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Cutting off the stretch of vines in front of him with a single knife, Guta dwarfed and burrowed into the forest where he encountered the elf deer last time.

He wanted to find out if he had missed other prey last time.

Beside the ears, there was still the familiar and annoying whistling sound of wind and snow, and the ancient tower moved carefully among the low bushes covered in silver.

It's strange, even the jungle behind the mountains covered by heavy snow shouldn't be so quiet.

No matter how bad it is, the calls of some birds can still be heard.

"Huh? This is..."

Staggering under his feet, Guta looked at the footprints under him that were twice as big as himself, and his whole body tensed up.

There is only one kind of monster that can have similar human footprints and may appear here...

It is the monster that I have been thinking about before and after, and want to crusade
——Snow Lion!

Almost at the moment Guta bowed his head, a gust of wind surged from behind him.

Without even thinking about it, his body rolled to the side, and Gu Tajian dodged the huge palm that struck him later.

Quickly getting up, he slowly removed the wide-bladed bone knife from behind bit by bit, clenched his hands tightly, and faced the monster that was slowly raising its head on the opposite side.

It was a monster half a body taller than itself, covered in long snow-white fur, and around its neck was hair that looked like a lion's mane, which was also the origin of its name "Snow Lion".

It is worth mentioning that the snow lion in front of me is tall, much larger than the average small snow lion, but it does not grow the huge sharp teeth that symbolize the king's status. It is very likely that it was driven out of the group by the snow lion king Reserve Snow Lion King.

There cannot be two tigers on one mountain, and the habits of snow lions are similar.

Even if it's not the real Snow Lion King

"I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck." Guta moved the blade forward, hoping that he would be able to bounce back successfully after a while.

【Bounce back LV1】

[There is a very small probability that when blocking an opponent's attack, an instant counterattack will be launched]

With a low growl, bringing up a strong smell, the Snow Lion King (pseudo) pounced forward.

The moment the charge was completed, the Snow Lion King violently punched the ancient tower below him.

Dodging a roll, Guta silently pulled down the goggles on his forehead despite the splashing snow waves splashing all over his body.

Originally, this thing was worn to prevent being blinded by the reflection on the snowy field, but now it is to physically protect the eyes.

"roar~"

Seeing that he failed to knock down this hateful human being with his blow, the Snow Lion King rushed forward again, but he stopped suddenly when he swung his fist halfway, and instead spewed out icy air visible to the naked eye from his mouth.

Fortunately, Guta, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, retreated a few steps ahead of time, and successfully avoided the opponent's tricks.

The Snow Lion King is different from ordinary king monsters. Although he has a violent personality, his methods are getting dirtier.If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a lonely family, maybe a dozen little snow lions would jump out and attack him at this time.

Seeing that the tricks didn't work, the Snow Lion King rolled his eyes, jumped backwards, and jumped to the pile of rubble beside him.

Guta, who knew what the other party was going to do, didn't even think about it, twisted his buttocks, and got into the bushes beside him.

Sure enough, the next moment, the area where he was originally was bombarded by stones like a storm from the Snow Lion King.
