Chapter 9: Driving the Beaver Beasts

The walls of Jingnan Town are only five or six meters, and they look to be in disrepair, and they can't stop the impact of monsters at all.

But under the protection of the goddess, the walls are nothing more than decorations.

Rowan took over the task of [driving away beaver beasts] from the Hunters' Guild early.

Although [Chasing Beavers] is the lowest F-level mission, there are two ways to complete the mission.

The first is that, as the literal meaning suggests, as long as you drive away the beaver beasts that nest in the upper reaches of the [Long River], you can get the most basic quest rewards.

The second one is a bit difficult, the newcomers must hunt as many beaver beasts as possible on the premise of driving them, so that they dare not come to the upper reaches of the river to nest!

Rowan is of course here specifically for this second mission method!

Hunt beaver beasts, dig out crystal nuclei, and absorb nuclear power!

The Changhe River is the main source of water in Jingnan Town, and in order to ensure that the water source is pure and unimpeded, the Hunter Guild often issues tasks such as these.

These quests usually don't pay much, but they are perfect for newcomers, as the Hunters' Guild will assign a Junior Hunter as a leader, who may not be of high rank, but are usually extremely experienced and skilled at teaching newcomers.

The leader of this mission is named "Hong Lu", and Rowan calls him Uncle Hong.

Although Uncle Hong is only a low-level hunter, he is quite respected, he stays in the Hunters' Guild all the year round, and specializes in leading newcomers like Rowan to teach some things that need to be paid attention to in the first mission, and many powerful hunters have avoided fatal mistakes under his teaching, and this has been the smooth growth of them.

Hunting monsters is always a dangerous act, and hunters are a profession that always walks on the tip of the knife, and only by desperately learning from the experience of their predecessors will they not fall hard the moment they step out of the threshold.

An old man like Uncle Hong, who does not hesitate to pass on his experience to others, is obviously worthy of respect.

There are eight newcomers who have taken on the same task as Rowan, and seven of them are first-year students in the Hunter Academy, most of them are trying to accumulate as much crystalline power as possible before reviewing the exam and improve their level.

This group of students is often considered to be a temporary poor student, as hunting is prone to injury, and injuries before an exam can obviously have a detrimental effect on the exam.

The real top students usually recuperate at home during this time period, and then go to the audit exam in the best possible position!

It's a pity that Rowan belongs to the type of poor student who is temporarily cramming.

But there seems to be a hierarchy among the poor students?

Rowan clearly sensed that two people looked at him with disdain, and the two of them got together and talked a few words, and went around chewing their tongues with the others.

After a while, four more of the other six people appeared.

Of the remaining two, one was about twenty years old and obviously not a trainee hunter from the academy, and the other happened to be Rowan's classmate.

The former and Rowan belong to the same side as the despised side, and the latter can't bear to laugh at Rowan based on the friendship of his classmates, but he does not show any intention of justification.

After all, there is really no argument.

Who made Rowan's pet a protosmer?

In this regard, Rowan was unimpressed.

In his eyes, those students were nothing more than immature children, but it was the non-academic trainee hunter who caught his attention.

It was a young man with a rather sturdy physique, who looked honest and honest, who had been following Uncle Hong to ask questions, and had deliberately avoided a few students.

"It seems to be as honest as a cow, but in fact it is as cunning as a fox. Interesting! ”

……

About half an hour later, a group of ten people walked to the destination, and what appeared in front of everyone was a surging river with a width of more than ten meters, that is, the [Long River]!

The beaver beasts that can build a nest on such a large river are certainly not weak monsters like slimes, they are nearly two meters tall, and their bodies are as strong as giant bears, with one front tooth and two claws as sharp as knives!

Rowan threw [Deep Analysis] at one of the smaller beaver beasts.

[Race]: Beaver beast β™‚

[Category]: Beast

[Rank]: Second Order

[Attributes]: Soil

[Level]: 5

[Race Value]: 32 (Health 7, Strength 8, Agility 7, Constitution 5, Intelligence 5)

[Skill]: Dirt clod smashing, forward rolling and crushing

【End】

Although the beaver beast is an earth-attribute monster, it has excellent water quality, and it can be said that there is no water and no joy.

Therefore, they like to build nests on rivers, usually fill them with soil and rocks, or directly use trees to erect two sections of the river, and then build nests on top of the soil and trees.

This kind of destruction of the riverbed and pollution of water sources is certainly not allowed.

"No matter how good your water nature is, it's stupid to fight water-loving monsters in the water! You are all newcomers, newcomers should learn more, ask more questions, think more, only accumulate little by little in ordinary times, and only in times of crisis can you have the capital to turn danger into disaster! ”

Uncle Hong waved his hand to stop a few eager students and taught earnestly.

"Before fighting, it is best to understand the race, skills, habits, and weaknesses of monsters, and excessive impulsiveness is irresponsible for one's own life. In a real life-and-death struggle, a little more understanding can lead to unexpected victories. Especially for a monster like the Beaver Beast, which has been thoroughly studied, we should ...... it even more."

"Enough, right? Old man. We're students at the Hunter Academy, and we've learned all the superficial truths you said in class! ”

"yes, isn't it a beaver beast? It's obviously a second-order monster, and the race value is only 32 points, so we don't know how to fight before we lose! ”

The two students sneered at Uncle Hong, and then the two of them pinched the hunter badge in unison.

I saw a glimmer of light, and two pets appeared next to the two of them.

Rowan squinted his eyes and quietly threw out [Deep Analysis] at the pets of the two.

[Race]: Flame Rat β™‚

[Category]: Beast

[Rank]: Second Order

[Attributes]: Fire

[Level]: 1

[Race Value]: 55 (Health 11, Strength 9, Agility 11, Constitution 9, Intelligence 15)

[Attributes]: Wood

[Level]: 1

[Race Value]: 58 (HP 12, Strength 13, Dexterity 14, Constitution 9, Intelligence 10)

【End】

One of the two is called "Li Yun" and the other is called "Ye Long".

Li Yun's pet is a [Flame Rat] with a length of one meter and a half and a back shaped like volcanic rock.

Ye Long's pet is a cobra-like monster [Ghost Face Snake] as thick as a thigh and a grimace totem on its neck!

"Both of their pets are second-order, and their race values are much higher than those of beaver beasts, so it's no wonder they're so ashamed. But......" Rowan couldn't help but look at the puppy pitifully, "don't they know that their pets are only level 1?" ”
