Chapter 27: Mission

Zheng Qiankun and Shishi, two rookie demon hunters, wanted to take on this D-level task, and then, they were looking for a few powerful demon hunters to hitch a ride.

These two young people thought very beautifully, but I don't know if they ever thought about the need for a powerful demon hunter to team up with them?!

I don't know if Zheng Qiankun and Shi thought of this, anyway, they appeared in the D-class mission window.

In the window of this D-class mission, there is a wooden sign that reads:

Class D

Requirements: Capture the snow lion cubs alive.

Characteristics: Snow-white hair with snowflake-like lines on the hair.

Demand: Unlimited.

Price: 3,000 copper coins each.

Mission validity: 30 days.

Zheng Qiankun took a look and found that it was a cub captured, and his originally nervous mood immediately relaxed a lot.

Isn't it a task to send money?!!

Thinking of this, Zheng Qiankun and Shi Lian's plans to team up with other demon hunters vanished - fuck! Stealing the baby is just a piece of cake.

Zheng Qiankun and Shi confidently signed a mission contract with the imperial soldiers, so the two rookie demon hunters left 'chicly' in the eyes of the crowd.

Snow Lion cubs?Even a mid-level demon hunter would not dare to take on such a task easily.

It is indeed not difficult to catch the snow lion cub alive, but you must know that the snow lion is a second-order demonic beast, and this kind of powerful demonic beast is not something that one or two demon hunters can deal with, not to mention, Zheng Qiankun and Shishi, who have no martial arts at all, and are also rookie demon hunters with poor equipment.

The Snow Lion is a good mount, with a huge body and extremely fast speed, it is one of the favorite mounts of the Imperial Cavalry, and most importantly, the Snow Lion is born to recognize the Lord, there is only one master in his life, the master lives, the Snow Lion lives, the master dies, and the Snow Lion will die with it.

Of course, the snow lion will admit that the master has only been raised by humans with one hand, and the wild snow lion will not let humans sit on its proud backbone until it dies.

Therefore, there are not many cavalry in the empire that have snow lion mounts, so the task of capturing snow lion cubs alive is also included in the mission of the demon hunter.

It should be pointed out that this season is exactly the time when the snow lion cubs are born, which means that in normal times, the seemingly easy task of capturing the snow lion cubs alive is not seen in the D-class mission window.

※※※

Oia Canyon, where snow lions live, however, there are also skilled dwarves here.

To be precise, Oia Canyon is the territory of the dwarves, and the snow lions only survive on the edge of Oia Canyon.

Dwarves hate humans just as much as they naturally hate bathing.

In the eyes of the dwarves, humans are despicable and hypocritical, and I don't know why, when dwarves see humans, they have the urge to pick up the hammer in their hands and smash the human head.

Based on this, the dwarves have never sold the excellent weapons they have built to humans, and most of the time, the weapons of the dwarves are sold to the orcs of the Kasa tribe.

Compared to the weapons made by the dwarves, the weapons made by the human blacksmiths are really unreachable.

Just a few years ago, there was a great war between the Kassel Empire and the Casa tribe in the Dragon's Breath Mountains, the Land of the Dead.

The strength of the orcs is innate, coupled with the battle axes that the dwarves made for the orcs, at the beginning, it can be said that the human infantry is no match for the orcs at all.

This is not to say that the human infantry cannot fight the orcs, but the weapons.

Human weapons are completely vulnerable to the battle axes made by the dwarves.

In the end, if it weren't for the Soarer Empire spending a lot of money to buy a batch of weapons crafted by dwarves on the black market, it might not be the border of the Soar Empire now.

It was from this time that the Soarer Empire focused on the blacksmith's technique - stealing dwarven weapon-making books.

It's not a glorious thing, but it's better than facing the orcs and retreating.

So, naturally, there has always been a B-rank task in the mercenary market, stealing dwarven crafting books.

Of course, the bounty hunters also have such a task.

As for the price, it can only be said that it is very tempting, so let's say, among the B-class tasks, the task of stealing the dwarves to make books is the most generous commission.

It's not hard to see that stealing dwarven books is a very difficult thing to do, no, it should be said that it is very difficult.

Since the appearance of this quest in the Mercenary Market, there have only been five successful missions for both mid-level and above-level Demon Hunters and powerful Bounty Hunters.

Each weapon is crafted differently, and even the same weapon has a different quality, and it's a bit ridiculous that the five quests completed by the Demon Hunter or Bounty Hunter are the lowest crafting books.

Even so, the weapons crafted from the Dwarven Lowest Crafting Book are more than mid-level weapons crafted by enemy blacksmiths.

However, human blacksmiths are not the kind of people who eat and wait for death, and after carefully studying the dwarven crafting books, they have also succeeded in improving their weapons.

It's not enough to compete with the weapons crafted by the dwarves, but it's enough for the soldiers on the battlefield to fight the orcs.

Zheng Qiankun and Shishi, who arrived at Oia Canyon after a few days of travel, didn't care about this, they were here to steal the baby.

Dwarf?

Well, the ghosts have time to provoke them!

Compared to the wooded Shiya Mountain, Oia Canyon is much more 'clear'.

At first glance, there was only blood-red land in the Oia Gorge - no grass growing in it.

However, there are some plants growing in the cliffs or crevices of the Oia Gorge...... Some of the plants that Zheng Qiankun and Shi have never seen before.

Raising their heads, Zheng Qiankun and Shi Shi could see the sun hanging high in the sky, but in the Oia Canyon, the sunlight could not shine in the slightest, which made Zheng Qiankun and Shi feel a little creepy.

Damn hell place!

This is Zheng Qiankun and Shishi's first impression of Oia Canyon.

Zheng Qiankun...... Don't you think...... Someone is following us?" asked Zheng Qiankun sensitively.

Zheng Qiankun is not very bold, but compared to the 'simple' stone, Zheng Qiankun always likes to pretend to have a 'I am calm' expression.

"People, who are you, do you think there are people in this ghost place?" Zheng Qiankun was very 'calm'.

"Really...... It starts from our entry into the Oia Canyon...... That's how I feel...... Hairy. As he spoke, the stone subconsciously glanced behind him.

It's just that, behind the stones, in addition to the blood-red earth, are some chaotic stones, not to mention people, and even living things are rarely seen.

But! Because of this, the stone felt that there was someone behind him who scared him even more.

If it weren't for Zheng Qiankun, who is still 'calm' now, this guy would definitely run wildly—damn! It's scary.

The more the stone talked, the more mysterious it became, and Zheng Qiankun also had goosebumps a little, but Zheng Qiankun was still a - I was very calm.

"Don't let me look down on you!" Zheng Qiankun said, "You are a big man, don't embarrass a man!"

If it weren't for Zheng Qiankun, who was frightened by the screams of vultures hovering in the sky, he hid behind the stone, and the stone would definitely admire Zheng Qiankun, who was still very calm in this situation.

"Man, you're really a man!" Shi despised Zheng Qiankun, who was still trembling behind him.

Zheng Qiankun's face turned red - I'm embarrassed.

※※※

Trembling, Zheng Qiankun and Shishi, the two rookie demon hunters, finally found the snow lion.

It's different to have a map, and it's easy to find something.

Yes!

Zheng Qiankun spent dozens of copper coins to buy the map of the Oia Canyon, which really came in handy.

There was still a hundred meters away from the snow lion, Zheng Qiankun and Shi Shi hid behind a messy rock in the wind.

"This is the snow lion?" the stone was a little surprised, "it's too good to be in shape, right?"

Hearing the stone use 'figure' to describe the snow lion, Zheng Qiankun felt that it was appropriate.

So, Zheng Qiankun glanced at the stone beside him with an admiring gaze.

Isn't it!

A hundred meters away, a snow-white snow lion with a 'stature' larger than a human was lying on a rather large rock, and now, this tame-looking snow lion was yawning leisurely.

And beside it are several snow lion cubs that are as cute as puppies.

"What now?" asked Stone.

Hey!

Zheng Qiankun smiled evilly.
