hunt and eat

Chapter 41 Sudden Assassination
The next day, the three of them had a rare long sleep, until the sun fell vertically on their faces, and they reluctantly got up.

Rubbing his loose eyelids, Guta yawned and began to pack his luggage.

【Bast LV4】

[Significantly enhance skin defense]

This is the new ability Guta gained after eating the armored dragon meat.

Needless to say, this ability is useful.

Just think of Kailong's invulnerable rock armor, and you can get a glimpse of the end of this ability.

It's just a pity that this ability stays at level four.

According to the experience summed up so far, it seems that every ability will have some special changes after 5 levels.

If nothing else, the ability of bast skin will also have new characteristics after it reaches level five.

Although I don't know how to improve it, as long as I continue to eat it, it will probably be fine.

Guta thought in his heart.

"Pack it up, we're ready to go." Nia on the side patted the lazily ancient pagoda, and then pulled up Weiwei who was leaning against the wall with some difficulty.

There is no way not to work hard.

After all, there was a big difference between Nia and Weiwei in terms of height and weight. In addition, Nia was not very strong, so it was even more difficult.

"That's great, the meat is growing in the right place."

Nia glanced at Weiwei's chest calmly, then at her buttocks, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She still doesn't know when she will start to develop, compared to...

Nia turned her head to look at the boy beside her.

In just half a year, this guy has grown around again. If he continues to grow at this rate, he will break through two meters sooner or later.

Speaking of which, are parents two meters tall?

The heights of everyone in the village flashed through Nya's mind, and she finally felt a burst of despair.

It seems that the tallest in the village is Grandpa Palletta, a retired hunter, who is only 1.8 meters five.

It's over!

……

Row down the somewhat steep mountain, Guta looked back at the dark cave above his head.

"The mission went surprisingly well."

As he thought about it, he kept his hands down, groping for the stone wall and climbing down.

Compared with going up the mountain, going down the mountain seems to be a more difficult thing.

After all, there are almost no footholds in some places. If they didn't bring the nail cone with them, the three of them might really have to take a detour down the mountain.

It took them about an hour and a half to go up the mountain, but it took them a full two and a half hours to go down.

Seeing that the sun began to shift downward, they finally returned to the place where the chocobo was placed.

"Snowball, do you miss me?"

From a distance, the white chocobo that saw Niya's return croaked happily, then flapped its short and broad wings, and rushed towards the three of them.

After using the face and snowball stickers, Nia began to put some materials on its back.

The ancient pagoda is still the same, except for a small part of the broken armor of the Kailong, his biggest load is a piece of breast meat of the Kailong which weighs thirty catties.

Hastily wrapped it with a thick cloth, and he put it on the back of his chocobo.

In contrast, Weiwei was much more sensible, and took the initiative to help Nia share a lot of burdens, and glared at Guta proudly by the way.

"Hey, scumbag!"

Guta accidentally said this word when several people were chatting, and casually said that it was a curse word, and then evaded it, but Weiwei remembered it.

"No way, Sir, this can also punch?"

Rolling the whites of his eyes, Guta wordlessly untied the chocobo from the reins, and turned on the bird.

"gone back."

Along the way, the few people never encountered any obstacles.

At the same time, because he was already familiar with the route, he went back much faster. As soon as it got dark, he saw Pale's towering defensive city wall from a distance.

"It should be time to submit the task, it's not too late." Guta looked at Nia at the side.

Because the task was accepted by Nia, he was not very clear about the specific handover procedures.

Shaking her head, Nia explained: "This task was secretly issued by the branch leader Cassius, so we don't go to the counter when submitting the task, just hand over the task book and Long Huiyaojin to him."

"Is that so..."

Nodding his head, Guta made it clear.

But soon, he noticed three black-armored hunters riding chocobos on the road not far away, as if they were waiting for someone.

Before he could speak, the leader of the three spoke first.

"Excuse me, is it Your Excellency Guta?"

Although the other party looked much older, his tone was surprisingly respectful.

Guta held the reins tightly and controlled the Chocobo to stop slowly.

Although it was getting late, but with the superhuman vision bestowed by [Eagle Eye], he still sized up these three people in an instant.

The outfits and weapons of the three are very similar. They are all dressed in black light leather armor, and they carry an uncommon machete with short arms on their backs.

A scimitar of this length can even be considered a short knife among hunters.

Generally speaking, hunters usually deal with large beasts and monsters, and rarely use such a short blade.In fact, big knives and swords like the ancient tower, which are usually two or three meters long, are common equipment for hunters.

Looking at the other party's attire, it was very similar to the two hunters that Cassius accompanied that day.

It seems to be the standard equipment of the Shadow Troops of the Hunter Guild.

"Is something wrong?" Guta asked curiously.

"It's like this. Lord Cassius ordered us to wait here. From your appearance, it seems that the task has been successfully completed? Congratulations..." The leading man glanced at the large scales on the backs of the three chocobos in the ancient tower. Armor and material, smiled and arched their hands.

"Give us Long Hui Yaojin and the task book, and then go to rest, and we will handle the follow-up handover matters."

Nia and Weiwei nodded, and were about to pass things to each other.

After the three-day journey, they were all dirty, and they couldn't wait to take a shower in the big bathroom.

"Wait a minute..." Guta suddenly reached out to stop his companion.

He turned his head to look at the three of them, and asked, "Just in case, you guys should show me the proof. After all, it's not a trivial matter, so it's better to be cautious."

The leading man's smile froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.

If it weren't for Guta's keen eyes, he might not have noticed the difference in the other party's expression.

Glancing at his two companions, the man nodded, turned over and got off the chocobo, and walked towards the ancient pagoda while taking something out of his pocket.

"It's better to be cautious, the certificate is here, you can take a look..."

Walking to the edge of the ancient tower, the man slowly spread out the black mission scroll in his hand.

Looking intently at the ancient pagoda, it was blank.

"It would be great if you handed it over honestly, at least you can return to the city safely, instead of dying here inexplicably."

In the ear, the man's indifferent voice sounded.

A black scimitar gleaming with cold light instantly slashed at Guta's legs.

Because he was sitting on the chocobo, he couldn't avoid it now.

"You guys... have to do it?"

The next moment, Guta directly held the blade with his gloved right hand.

The blade sliced ​​through the glove, which was not too thick in defense, but was blocked by the tougher skin underneath.

No matter how hard the man tried, even if his eyes were red, he couldn't advance the scimitar even an inch.

Even at the moment, the location of the ancient pagoda is not convenient for exerting force.

With one kick, the man was kicked several meters away, and hit heavily on a nearby tree trunk.

Guta rolled over and landed on the ground, looking at the two remaining hunters who drew their knives, he moved his wrist expressionlessly.

He didn't have the slightest intention to draw the knife.

"Whether it's hunting monsters or hunting people, it seems to be the job of hunters."

"Let me see and see, what is the difference between you and us...?"

On Guta's body, electric arcs that flickered on and off began to flicker.
