C10 Chapter 10 Simple Hunting

But they picked the wrong prey, and Lake's shot hit the ground faster than they could.

He remained motionless, flicking his fingers and shooting out the stones he held in his palm. His momentum was as powerful as the two-pound artillery used by the Kingdom's army.

"Boom! Boom!" The pebble-sized stones wrapped in the breath of war easily penetrated the two black figures that jumped down first, leaving a bowl-sized hole in the tree trunk, and then smashed into the snow with unabated force. Land.

For a moment, the terrifying energy blew away large tracts of frozen soil and snowflakes.

Ina is not an elk drinking water from the stream. As an adventurer who received a slash from Lake during practice, her practiced instant reaction allowed her to use her majestic magic power to control the predators the moment she became aware of them. Take yourself away a few meters away.

At the same time, Ina also saw clearly the appearance of the predators, which were lean, gray-white monkeys. The light blue shimmer on their claws indicated that they were monsters, not ordinary beasts.

Before she could stand firm on her heels, Ina's sword was already stretched across her chest to meet the oncoming enemy.

The remaining predators got down on all fours and ran faster than a bobcat, following right in front of the white-haired girl.

What a pity!

Ina's sword was like thunder, with a fierce thrust. The one-handed sword was like a rivet hitting the paper. It accurately and fatally pierced the throat of the predator at the front. Then, with her pull, a cut!

A large amount of thick plasma sprayed out, and the silver sword body was hidden in red until the second beast skull flew up!

The second hunter's head was cut off by a sword light that looked like a screen!

With the help of her body's rotation, Ina exerted force on her waist and kicked away the third one that came forward.

"Bang!" The fourth one hit hard against the light screen made of magic power outside Ina's body, causing blood to flow from the beast's nose, and its sharp claws that could dig out a piece of flesh from the human body stopped in midair!

Before it could get up again, Ina, who had adjusted her posture, had already raised her sword and split its head in half.

The white-haired girl's swift and skillful skills shocked Lake, who was watching from the sidelines.

The last monster that was kicked away screamed in surprise, turned around and ran away. Ordinary beasts would know how to run away out of instinct, let alone a monster with some spirituality.

Reike picked up a stone from the ground slowly and was about to clean up the mess, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ina raising her gun.

Pointing at the fleeing monster.

The third skill, Arcane without chanting, really cannot shorten the time to condense magic power... But are these Warcraft? Surprisingly, it is not as difficult to deal with as expected. "Nina whispered to herself while looking at the monsters that were escaping further and further away.

The monkey monster was very fast, covering a distance of tens of meters in a few seconds. It did not follow its instinct and climb up the trees to avoid it like a normal monkey. On the contrary, it shuttled between the tree trunks from time to time, hoping to shield the attack.

But it was destined to be useless. The pitch-black arrows narrowed the distance between the too much faster than he could escape. The pitch-black arrows cut through the air, crossed the distance, and reached the head of the monster in an instant.

The next moment, the monster's head exploded like a watermelon exploded by a hammer, and red and white things poured onto the ground.

"How do you feel about hunting for the first time?" Reike walked through the snow, his tone not concealing his pride and praise for Ina's display of skills. : "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen an adventurer who is so calm when facing a monster for the first time."

"Unexpectedly, it is not as difficult as expected." Ina put away her one-handed sword, picked up the elm bow that she had just temporarily discarded on the snow, and commented: "It is completely different when sparring with uncle. "

"Comparing it to a group of monkeys...it's a bit hurtful." Having said that, Lake didn't care much, and then walked to Ina and squatted down next to the dead monsters.

He took out the knife from the leather sheath on his thigh.

"Okay, I should teach you the second thing in hunting - selective harvesting of your trophies." He held down the claw of a monster and cut off a knuckle with a light cut. This task that should have required a bone chopper was no more difficult than cutting a piece of tissue paper in Lake's hands.

"For us hunters and adventurers, a hunt will not bring much harvest. It is common to return without success. However, even if there is only one prey, hunters cannot and may not be able to take it. Take it all with you.”

"To give a simple example, a common and lighter spotted deer weighs at least 70 kilograms."

"Not to mention ordinary hunters, even an extraordinary professional adventurer will not be able to carry it over more than ten kilometers of mountain roads. It will be very difficult to deal with the incoming monsters, not to mention subsequent hunting."

"The appropriate choice is very important at this time." As he spoke, Lake had already removed the claw knuckles from the two corpses, leaving only one. He immediately turned the knife over, pinched the blade lightly with two fingers, and pointed the handle towards Yi. Na.

"What we are facing are more ferocious and brutal monsters. We must always ensure that the weight we carry will not greatly affect our physical strength, speed and movement coordination... and of course the use of weapons-throw it away for a little profit. Life is not a wise move.”

Ina took the knife and heard Lake add: "I can't say the choice between various beast parts."

"Uncle doesn't know either?" Ina suddenly said in shock.

"Nonsense, I'm not a hunter. Even if I am an adventurer, I can only change my job halfway." Faced with the girl's interruption, Lake did not shy away.

"But the value selection of Warcraft does not require much experience and professional knowledge. In short, it is to choose the parts that carry magic power. These are quite valuable magic materials. Compared with meat and offal, the selling price is higher A lot."

Then Lake pointed at the skin of the Warcraft and the dried blood that had begun to condense on the snow: "If you can't judge the fur, blood, and bones, the priority is to choose. In many cases, they are the places where the Warcraft carries more or less magic power. , naturally...you shouldn’t have to worry about this."

Ina asked without thinking: "Why?"

What he got in return was a look from Lake looking at his little idiot. He sighed softly and pointed to his eyes angrily: "The third-level magic "Magic Eye", I remember you have learned it?"

"Magic Eye...that magic that can see the magic of things in the field of vision?" Ina blinked and quickly recalled the corresponding spell in her mind.

However, because of Ina's semi-even nature, she has a high magical affinity and an ability that human magicians of the same level do not have. She can vaguely and roughly perceive magic, so she rarely practices and uses it even after learning the Magic Eye.

"So it has such a use." Ina couldn't help but whisper in her heart.

Lake finally pointed at the Swift Monkey's head: "In addition, there is one of the most valuable magic materials in Warcraft, the magic crystal."

"This, you should, know its wide range of uses better than I do."

"It is basically formed in the brain of Warcraft, and is the source of the magic power of most Warcraft. However, the first-level Swift Monkey does not have that thing. In many cases, they will only appear on third-level Warcraft and above."

After speaking, he handed over the processing of the remaining four animal carcasses to Ina. Hunting is a skill, and collecting trophies is also a technical job. Every time you handle the carcasses of hunting prey, it is a precious opportunity.

After all, no hunter knows whether his next kill will be tomorrow or next week.

Ina had not yet been able to attach magic power to weapons like Red, and she lacked experience, so she was a little embarrassed to handle it. It was not until 30 minutes later that she returned to Exon and ran.

She put the forty knuckles into her backpack without cutting off the flesh.

Both she and Lake carried bread and dried meat, but if that didn't work, rabbit meat would be easier to tolerate.

"How?" Reike took the knife with a wooden handle that had been pinched to the point of cracking without changing his expression.

The income from this amount alone exceeded six silver francs.

If you take Ina's harvest and brag about it in the wine bowl, those big-nosed adventurers will probably not be able to drink a sip of wine for the next few days.

In short, Ina is qualified as an adventurer.

Therefore, he left the next choice to the white-haired girl.

"Are you going to continue hunting next?"
