"I don't do it! I'm still a rookie, wouldn't it cost me my life to just let me fight against this kind of monster beast with a hundred people?!! "Although the reward is good, it must also be life-worthy, and the system's prompt did not make Bai Xiaoqiu change his mind.

The old village chief began to convince people with reason: "Look, the other hunters in the village are all injured, their injuries are much stricter than Miss Shi's, and they won't be better for a while, and now the only people you can count on are you and Erniu, do you want to wait for that tiger to come to the village and let me personally go into battle?!" ”

"Don't go!"

The old village chief then coerced and enticed: "Don't underestimate your own strength too much!" With your current foundation, as long as you go through my short training, you can exert a strong combat power, and it will definitely not be a problem to save your life under the hands of Linghu! The main force of this crusade is Erniu, you just need to help from the side, and I will also fund you with a set of leather armor for free, and after the task is completed, you will be given a bonus of 700 peach coins, what do you think? ~”

Bai Xiaoqiu hesitated: "Don't go!" ”

The old village chief made a trump card: "Erniu has already told me, you have a set of tattoos on your body, right?" He pointed to Bai Xiaoqiu's chest, "I know the whereabouts of that long knife, as long as you complete the task of defeating Linghu, I will tell you where that long knife is now." ”

Bai Xiaoqiu was silent for a long time, "Deal."

"Good! Readily! The village elder rummaged through the cabinets and found a pair of somewhat worn leather armor, the style is very ordinary, it is the kind that can be bought casually in the store, handed it to Bai Xiaoqiu and said: "This is what I wore when I debuted, although it is a little old, but the defensive performance is not compromised, you find someone to change it to fit better, and you will wear it to me for training from tomorrow!" ”

Bai Xiaoqiu didn't speak, took the leather armor and turned around and walked out of the house

Inside the house, Er Niu looked at the village chief with some confusion and asked: "This is not like your style, you will actually use intelligence to threaten him, and with Xiaobai's current strength, is it a little too reluctant to face Linghu, this guy is still a rookie." ”

The village chief looked at the huge monster heads on the wall, revealing a hint of remembrance: "That kid is very similar to me when I was young, and he has a thing that must be done, although I don't know what that thing is, but I can see a desire in his eyes." In this world, no matter what he wants to do, strength is essential, and facing danger is the best way to improve his strength, rest assured, people like him will not die so easily, everyone must be much stronger than they imagined. And isn't there still you? The old village chief smiled and handed Erniu a glass of wine, "It's just a tiger that controls more than a dozen ghosts, and if you are serious, you can easily solve it." Take care of that kid with more attention, and don't let him really hang up. ”

Erniu drank it all, and suddenly smiled as if he understood something: "No wonder you never let me team up with other hunters to act, even if the Nian Beast came to the door, you won't let me use all my strength because you want to train those guys in the village?" ”

"Yes," the village chief's voice suddenly became a little old, "The hunter is not afraid of bloodshed, but only of dependence." When a hunter feels that his life can be protected by others, the hunter is not far from death. You are now the strongest person in this village, but this village must not be guarded by you alone."

Unconsciously, Bai Xiaoqiu walked to the river and sat down. He looked at the moon in the sky, and suddenly felt that the moon here seemed to be no different from the earth, and it could also evoke people's sorrows.

Obviously, he just said goodbye as usual, but it turned out that he might never see him again. Bai Xiaoqiu felt that he was used to seeing people who parted, but starting another life in such a ridiculous way, Bai Xiaoqiu was really unconvinced.

He doesn't have any sense of estrangement from the world, and he doesn't feel like he's just a passerby, but there are some people and things on the earth that he doesn't want to let go of after all.

"I have to go back, there are too many things I can't reluctant" Bai Xiaoqiu sighed lightly and put away the mobile phone that he had been playing with for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Come again!" The old village chief took advantage of Bai Xiaoqiu's unstable foothold after dodging and slapped a stick on his leg, "The dodge must be accurate, you must seize the most appropriate time to dodge to the most suitable position, a blind dodge like you can only reveal flaws, and consume your body in vain!" ”

"Come again!" Bai Xiaoqiu obviously hit the old village chief's arm, but he was shocked by the force of the shock and flew far away, "The landing point of the attack must be carefully chosen. Many parts of the beast's body are extremely hard, and if your attacks can't break through its defenses, the hitstun from the impact will likely kill you! ”

"Come again!" The old village chief stiffened Bai Xiaoqiu's attack and knocked him to the ground, "Demon beasts have a much stronger bearing capacity than humans, and many times they will launch counterattacks against your attacks, so you must leave room when attacking!" ”

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

The training in the mouth of the old village chief is basically a unilateral and inhumane humiliation of Bai Xiaoqiu. But I have to say that this kind of humiliation is quite useful, and Bai Xiaoqiu's fighting skills have improved more than a step after a few days of kung fu.

On the other hand, Bai Xiaoqiu and the others were actively making preparations according to the information in Shi Manqian's mouth.

"The tiger's weaknesses are the abdomen, throat and joints. The stiffness of the head and tail is so hard that it is almost impossible to break through, but if you hit the joint, you may cut off its limbs. Shi Manqian said while reminiscing.

"How many ghosts are there?" Erniu asked.

"About 13."

"So it seems that you have to bring at least two catties of soul suppression incense, by the way, this guy will also release miasma, and he should also bring some antidotes."

"Where is its field of activity?" Bai Xiaoqiu asked.

"It's usually found in the plains, but sometimes I go to the swamp to take a bath."

"Well, let's do it on flat ground, the terrain like the swamp is too troublesome."

"Fortunately, there won't be other demon beasts in the place where the tiger haunts, otherwise we would have to prepare a lot of things to drive away the demon beasts." Shi Manqian sighed.

"Don't forget that the scavenging ants like to follow behind the butts of powerful monsters, and they're not afraid of tigers." Erniu reminded.

"Well, it seems that you should bring more insect repellent water."

"If you want to trap, you should choose a paralysis trap, right? That thing in the cave doesn't pose much of a threat to the tiger. ”

"Food should also be prepared, this time you have to go deep into the interior of the forest, and" Bai Xiaoqiu glanced at Shi Manqian, and Erniu immediately understood what he meant.

"Well, it's a little bit more."

No matter how strong a hunter is, the preparation must be sufficient. When a hunter loses his reverence for nature, nature will be more than happy to teach him a lesson that will last a lifetime

A week later, Bai Xiaoqiu's trio finally completed all the preparations.

Before leaving, the old village chief gave Bai Xiaoqiu a tip: "When you arrive in the forest, when you are nervous, you can open the bag and take a look." He smiled and said, "I'm sure you won't let me down." ”
