Chapter 8: The Enemy Has Thirty Seconds to Reach the Battlefield....... So do we

At breakfast that followed, Garriman extended an invitation to Hiss to hunt together.

He propped up the table with his right elbow, the cup in his hand blocked part of his face, his eyes looked at the mouth of the cup, and suddenly spoke: "That...... Well...... Hiss, are you interested in going out hunting together? ”

"Alright, then we'll meet at the stables in half an hour." Under the gaze of his sister Anne and mother Aurora, Heath nodded reluctantly, apparently still haunted by what his brother Galiman had done before.

"Then I'll go and prepare first, you can decide the hunting location Hiss, I don't know where there is good prey to hunt recently." Garriman hurriedly ate the rest of the patty in one go, said a word, and turned to go upstairs.

Anne also sped up her eating, and said vaguely, "I'm going too!" ”

Half an hour later, Garriman changed into a hunting suit, a modified slim cloak, with many pockets sewn inside, and all the props he had made before taking with him, and went to the armory to get a hunting bow and arrows, and he was ready.

Arriving at the stables, Garriman found that Heath and Anne had arrived. Anne led the two horses, and she waved excitedly to Garriman and handed him one of them.

Garriman thanked him and looked at Hiss, "Hiss, where are you going to hunt?" ”

"Not far away, in the bushes northeast of the secret base we used to play, soldiers from nearby villages reported that there seemed to be traces of demonic beasts over there." Hiss put the saddle on his horse's back and continued, "I...... Forget it, are you ready? ”

"I'm ready and there are no problems." Anne had already turned over on her horse, and then, as if remembering something, said to Garriman: "By the way, second brother, why didn't you see little Elle going out hunting together?" ”

"I put it on her for a month. She hadn't been back for two years with me to the Mystery Islands, so she was able to go home and be reunited with her family. ”

Garriman searched for the memories, and the memory of the secret base was so active that he didn't have to retrieve it from beginning to end.

The secret base was created ten years ago, when Hiss was sixteen years old. At that time, he was already a level 19 Black Iron Rank warrior, and he already had the idea of keeping his secret alone, so he took the eleven-year-old Gariman to build a secret base for the two of them in a cave in the snow-capped mountains north of Buretta City.

The three men led their horses out of the stables and headed for the north gate. On the way to the North City Gate, Garriman looked at the surrounding streets, which looked more and more like a military fortress, and the poor living conditions in the castle for the past two days, he made up his mind to move out after this hunt.

The first destination they headed to was the village where the soldiers had reported back, Snow Peak, one of the villages surrounding the main city.

The residents of the towns and villages around the main city are basically the families of the Winter Wolf Leader's core combat force legion, and each of their families has a prime-aged population who serves Count Andre of the Winter Wolf, and there are sons who train hard, and there are old men who have retired by luck at the top, so it can be said that all the people are soldiers.

It's a day's and night's journey to Xuefeng Village, which is still easier to walk because the roads around the main city and the military city have been renovated all year round.

Not to mention the time on the way, it was already late that day when they arrived at Snow Peak Village, and after a night's stay in the village chief's house, they rode out with the hunters of the village who had discovered the situation towards the bushes farther north near the mountains.

This time, after half a day into the bush and reaching his destination, the hunter brushed away the branches and leaves of the trees that had covered it, revealing the well-preserved footprints below.

At this time, the temperature is already around freezing, there are scattered snowflakes in the sky, and the ground is already a little frozen and hard, and an adult will not leave footprints on the mud when he steps on it. At this time, a row of clawed footprints stretched deep into the bush on the frozen ground, until they were covered by a thin layer of snow.

The hunter squatted on the ground, stretched out his left hand to contrast with the footprints, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Three adults, you see, I have never seen this kind of beast with six sharp claws in all my years of hunting around, and its front five fingers are claws as long as my palm, and the strength is still great," he also pointed to a small tree with the thickness of an adult man's upper arm passing by the footprints in front of him, "I need to cut a tree of that size three times with an axe to cut off, and the fracture is not so smooth." ”

Hiss went through all the traces and came back and said, "Your analysis is correct, Old Chad, I think there is a very good chance that this monster is a monster. He patted the old hunter on the back, "I think this demonic beast's desire to attack is very strong, and the crusade level should be around the middle level of Black Iron." Old Chad, you can go back and claim your reward now. ”

"Actually, I can still fight!" Old Chad drew his dagger and swung it twice.

"No, I still don't want you to take risks, you're already retired, and your grandson wants you to teach him how to be a great scout." Hiss shook his head and refused his request.

Seeing the old hunter leave, Heath turned around and smiled and said to his younger siblings, "Then, it's time for the three of us to hunt. Neither of you have the Black Iron rank yet, so don't run too far. ”

Anne is now a level 12 archer with no other part-time occupations. Because Garriman is a spell-casting class, his early growth rate is much slower than that of a warrior class, and the current character level is only level 5. The character level must not be considered to enter the Black Iron rank until the first class change at level 18, and officially become a professional.

Now that the rank of the prey has been determined, it is time to track the prey. Garriman also didn't have the idea of cherishing the props, he gave Anne two stickers of hemostatic sticky, two [Secondary Fireball Technique] scrolls, and one [Hemostatic Sticky] to Hiss. The reason why there are fewer props for Hiss is because the task level of Hiss himself is much higher than the two of them, and he already has a silver level, converted to a level, his character level is already 48 levels, as long as the character level reaches level 54 and then transfers, then he will officially enter the gold rank.

When the warrior profession reaches the silver level, the fighting energy system is officially opened, and this power developed by the will and survival instinct directly draws the combat effectiveness of the warrior profession and the spell-casting profession, and the burst of fighting energy can make the warrior quickly approach the mage, and the fighting qi can also be launched out of the body through a special method. Therefore, the [Secondary Fireball Technique] is not of much help to Hiss, and it is not as good as hemostatic viscosity.

After dividing the props, Anne volunteered to search for traces, and her hope for the future transfer is to advance to become a ranger, and this tracking skill needs to be trained.
