Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

Ranged weapons seem to require a certain level of proficiency and cannot be used immediately.

Scanning the weapon rack to the end, Xingjian found the inconspicuous katana lying alone at the end, placed next to the large weapons.

"Why is this thing here?" Xingjian asked.

According to Jiu Yue, the katana has not been considered a hunting weapon since ancient times.

It is more like a weapon used against humans - a weapon that kills people.

"I put it in secretly." Jiu Yue smiled awkwardly, "I thought maybe someone would take a fancy to it one day and then I'd get some business."

Weapons used against humans...

"I want this one!" Xingjian picked up the sword at the end of the weapon rack.

"What did you say?" Jiu Yue couldn't believe her ears.

“<( ￣^￣) I said, I want to play with the katana!”

Chapter 10: I want to play with the sword!

“╰(‵□′)╯I want to play with the katana!”

This child is useless.

There were so many other weapons to choose from, but he chose the most useless sword.

Of course, let’s not talk about practicality first.

Compared to those heavy weapons that are much taller than Xingjian, the light sword that can be easily held in the hand is very suitable for the exquisite appearance of the silver-haired girl.

To be honest, September was a little touched.

This was the first time that the weapon he forged was noticed by someone.

“That’s not a wise choice,” Saki interjected. “Do you think hunting is a game?”

The katana is only half the height of Hoshimi's body and does not have the attack range of a spear or a broadsword, which means you have to fight in close combat with prey that is several times your size.

Well, even if you are not afraid of close combat, the slender and short blade of the katana does not have the destructive power of a battle axe or a hammer. If you chop it with all your strength, it may not even be able to break the defense.

Using a short sword for large-scale hunting has many disadvantages and no benefits at all.

"game……"

For humans, it's an act of entertainment, but for Xingjian, it's an act of finding new meaning in his lonely five thousand years of dragon life.

Of course, choose the one you like!

"No, I want to use the katana!"

The stubborn Xingjian simply hung the sword and its scabbard around his waist.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Instructor Gaode, who had failed in his attempt to persuade Xingjian, chose to respect Xingjian: "Since you have made up your mind to be a man, as a man, I will not say anything more. But you must be prepared for the test later~"

Jiu Yue tilted her head and asked a question: "It's just a hunter entry test, what kind of enlightenment do I need to have?"

Looking back, September’s entrance exam was to challenge a wild wolf alone in the martial arts field.

For any hunter who knows how to use weapons, this test is a piece of cake and has no difficulty at all.

"Jiuyue, you joined the Hunter Association three years ago, right?" Instructor Gaode, who had always been bold and easy-going, suddenly became serious.

"That's right."

"Then do you know how much the hunter death rate has increased in the past three years?"

"mortality rate……"

It's a rather heavy topic, but it's something that cannot be ignored or avoided.

After all, hunters who fight monsters are considered to be in a high-risk profession, so it is normal to have mortality statistics in this field.

Instructor Gao De held up five fingers. "Five times. The hunter death rate has increased fivefold compared to three years ago."

In recent years, rampages of dragons and wild beasts have become common in various regions.

Some hunting missions that were originally relatively safe have become unpredictable in terms of risk due to the collective invasion of species from other areas.

"In today's world, it's no longer possible for newcomers with no combat experience to become Hunters. If the entrance test isn't rigorous enough, even if you become a Hunter, you'll only be courting death. I don't want you to die."

September was speechless for a while.

I didn’t expect that Instructor Gao De, who is usually careless, would have such a strict and responsible side at critical moments.

“So what’s the exam about?” Saki asked.

"The same hunting practice as before. As for the hunting target..."

The iron gate in the martial arts arena slowly opened.

In the fence behind the iron gate, there are often some wild beasts that are not very threatening and are provided for the hunters in the guild to practice.

However, this time, the huge shadow in the fence and the low roar made September swallow his saliva vaguely.

"Hunting target—the Great Wild Boar King!"

The wild boar king is several times larger than an ordinary wild boar and is the leader of the population.

Just by standing behind the fence, his ferocious aura was enough to overwhelm Hoshimi and Saki.

"Today, I have specially approved that you two work together. If you can defeat the Great Wild Boar King, you will be qualified. Of course, I can tell if you are just slacking off."

Ordinary wild boars are just hunting level 2 beasts.

The leader-level wild boar king can have a hunting level as high as level 8.

No wonder the instructor warned Xingjian to be prepared. The short katana looked even smaller next to the massive giant boar king.

Maybe before Xingjian could chop down, he would be blown away by the huge fangs of the wild boar king.

"The exam begins—!"

Following the instructor's command, the iron fence separating the two was slowly raised.

At the same time, the instructor and Jiu Yue quickly hid in a safe place, grabbed the melon seeds they had prepared in advance, and began to eat them while watching the battle.

"Ka-ka-ka~ Speaking of which, why is this big wild boar king so powerful? Chew-chew-pooh (spitting out melon seed shells)~"

With Jiu Yue's three-year hunting experience, he had encountered other wild boar kings several times.

But this is the first time I have seen a creature like the one in front of me, with heavy breathing, red eyes, and unknown liquid flowing from the corners of its mouth.

"Because it's hungry." Xingjian said.

The instructor put down the melon seeds in his hand and suddenly remembered: "So, it seems that I haven't fed it for a long time."

September: "That wouldn't be dangerous! And Xingjian, how did you know about this?"

"I can understand what it says."

"Ah, you can understand monsters speaking?"

"Ah."

"So what is it saying?"

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"

"Be careful, the monsters in the hungry and frenzied state will have their combat power greatly increased."

"And he said... beautiful girl, she loves to eat."

"(???*) It's a perverted pig, kill it!"

"Here it comes!" Saki warned.

Before he could finish his words, the giant wild boar king rushed towards Hoshimi and Saki, raising a cloud of dust.

The king's pig advances suddenly!

It is said that the Great Wild Boar King never retreated in his life. Throughout his life, he was always running forward.

"I'm enough on my own! For those who treat hunting as a game, for your own safety, you should become a hunter later."

Not intending to let Hoshimi take action, Saki pulled the card from her shirt, revealing the belt hidden in the waistband of her miko uniform.

"Armed Card - 'Big Shrine Fox'!"

The soft, white fox-shaped armor covering the outside of Saki's miko costume added a touch of charm.

At the same time, a faint electric current passed through the spear in his hand.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

[Armed Taisha Fox LV6 (Mythical Beast)]

[Contains the spirit of a fox demon who has achieved enlightenment through cultivation.]

[Wraps the entire body in a fox coat. Defense increased (small), attribute damage increased (medium).]

[Skills: Thunderous Explosion, Fox Entanglement]

[Thunderbolt: Releases the power of thunder and lightning to strengthen the weapon, with a chance of paralysis upon attack. Can only be used once during the armed period.]

[Fox Entanglement: Upgrades weapons with fox spirits. Requires the sacrifice "Fried Tofu."]

[The arming duration is 20 minutes, and the cooling time is 24 hours.]

"The Divine Beast of Lingshan, the Jaw of Thunder and Fire! — 'Armed Thunder Summoning'!"

Activating the skill, Saki gathers electricity in her hand, using the tip of the gun as the explosion point, exploding into dazzling sparks.

"Go through it, thunder spear!"

He threw the spear in his hand as a long-range weapon, hitting the wild boar king in the face.

The tip of the gun pierced into the pig's head, and an electric current instantly ran through the wild boar king's body.

"It's in a paralyzed state!" September said.

Once the prey enters the paralyzed state, it will be unable to move for a short period of time and will be at the mercy of others.

I didn't expect that Sakuya, a newcomer who just signed up for the Hunter Association, actually has a level 6 weapon card in her hand. This is enough to say that she has a promising future.

"One of the principles of the Tsukiyo Shinwu-ryu's battle is to take advantage of the victory and destroy the injured target!"

Rushing towards the paralyzed wild boar king, Sakuya planned to retrieve the spear that had been stabbed into the pig's head and then deliver a final fatal blow to the prey.

"No!" Xingjian stopped him.

Paralysis? The giant wild boar king, pierced by the lightning spear, seemed to be in a paralyzed state.

But if you could understand its howl at this moment.

"Before dinner, there was a massage from a beautiful girl with bare arms. It was so cool!"

This guy didn't enter a paralyzed state at all, he was just being a masochist and just stopped to enjoy himself.

Or perhaps it was a deliberate act to lure the enemy into a trap.

Even wild beasts have their own fighting wisdom.

Just as Hoshimi had expected, before Saki could even get close, the Great Boar King immediately recovered and prepared to charge forward.

Saki was completely fooled, her body frozen in shock, not even giving herself a chance to dodge.

The giant wild boar king, who has never retreated in his life, will charge forward with his pig lunge and crush anything that stands in his way.

Even if there is a beautiful girl with her armpits exposed in front of her, you can crush it into a salad and enjoy it.

"Now doesn't seem like the time to hold back." Hoshimi drew the sword from his waist.

The test required two people to hunt the Great Wild Boar King together. If one person was missing, there was no guarantee of success.

The rapid beating of the dragon's heart was like the thunder of a war drum, instantly filling Xing Jian's entire body with the terrifying physical strength of the ancient star dragon.

Chapter 11: Xingjian, powerful and powerful, flying bricks!

At that moment, although Hoshimi, who was holding the katana, did not make any sound, the three people present seemed to feel a dragon's roar that struck their souls.
