Chapter 7 Good Guys, Strong Guys, Heroes?
After the roar full of anger, a fireball smashed into An Ran's face, if it weren't for Chi Xiao's timely overflow of sword qi to form a shield, I'm afraid he would have been exactly the same as the bald head lying on the ground over there.
"Should you say that you are so stupid that you can't tell the enemy apart, or are you kind enough to think that the other party won't bite you to death?" Chi Xiao floated out of the sword body again, and his tone was very helpless, "I feel that if I don't pay attention to you, I will change the master at any time." β
"Although I know I'm weak, it's still very uncomfortable for you to complain like this," An Ran instinctively closed his eyes when the fireball hit his face, and when he opened his eyes, the red sword qi around his body had been retracted by Chixiao.
And the male fire dragon flapped his wings and flew into the air after being forced back by the sword qi, ready to tear An Ran apart with his claws with the power of the swoop, which is a common predation method used by the fire dragon clan known as the "king of the air".
Obviously, this method is not suitable for dealing with targets with sharp weapons in hand, two red sword qi slashed, and An Ran skillfully avoided the male fire dragon that smashed straight to the ground like a crash, and he knew that this feeling would not be particularly comfortable after having a similar experience.
γTrigger Side Quest: Good Hunter or Bad Hunterγ
"Description: In the face of an extremely angry male fire dragon, do you choose a ruthless monster killer or a balanced monster hunter?"
"Completion Condition: Kill the Fire Dragon/Silence the Fire Dragon"
"Reward: 10 Hypnos Points, Passive Skill: Cruel Hunter/Whispering of Creatures"
"The reward for this task is obviously forcing me to commit a crime.,Points are still secondary.,For salted fish, it's definitely necessary to choose auxiliary skills.,If you can lie down to win the game, you have to lie down obediently.,You must know that the C position is always stared at for seconds.γ γ
An Ran, who decided to be a good hunter, couldn't help but scratch his neck as he watched the male fire dragon who got up from the ground and glared at him.
"Sure enough, it's still a bad person, it's a good person, the species are different, how can I make it quiet, it's a headache." γ
"Can you understand what it's saying?" After An Ran dodged the pounce again, he helplessly asked Chixiao on the side, "Or let it be quiet?"
Chixiao rolled his eyes, landed suddenly, and raised his hand to summon the long sword in An Ran's hand: "The way of the sword, the lower grade is from the technique, the middle grade is the imperial qi, and the upper grade is gaining momentum." β
"Today, the deity will let you understand what a high-grade kendo is," the long sword started, and the momentum that Chixiao deliberately gathered to look at the world began to rise, "What is the power to suppress people!"
The rising momentum gradually condensed into a huge dragon head phantom behind Chixiao, and the red dragon whiskers danced, bringing ripples in the air like an entity.
Until the momentum reached its peak, the red sword pointed at the male fire dragon, the red dragon head was like the angry eyes of the heavenly king, and the eyes were round, roaring silently, but there was a kind of power roaring out like a huge wave.
As soon as the male dragon wanted to stretch its wings and soar into the sky, it was directly slapped to the ground by the might, and then no matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail, and the power enveloped it like a chain, so that it could only crawl on the ground and let out a wail.
"Quiet, or die, understand?"
"Meow~"
"Very good, I'll leave the rest to you," Chixiao dissipated his might, and the phantom of the dragon's head behind him dispersed with the wind, and then threw the long sword in his hand to An Ran, "This sword is also about to break, you save some use." β
β...... Suppressing people with momentum, isn't this just spreading momentum and telling the other side that I can directly beat you to death?"
An Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth and complained, with his kendo realm, he couldn't understand what Chi Xiao had done, but his goal had been achieved.
"Complete Side Quest: Good Hunter or Bad Hunter"
"Quest Reward: 10 Points, Passive Skill: Creature Whisper"
"Whispering of Creatures (Special Skill, cannot be upgraded): Gain the ability to sense the emotions of other creatures, and can communicate with souls when the strength of the target soul is lower than your own (the strength of the target soul is higher than that of yourself, it cannot be effective)."
"It feels like this skill was given to me on purpose knowing the choices I would make, so that guy has been spying on me, right?"
After reading the reward information, An Ran put away the Chixiao Sword and turned on the "Whispering of Creatures" to perceive the male fire dragon trembling in the distance, fear, awe, and anger suppressed by these two emotions.
Taking a deep breath, An Ran prepared to comfort the male fire dragon who might have lost his son in middle age: "These eggs were stolen by those people lying there, although I can feel your anger, I can't let you kill them." β
"Meow?" the male dragon's mood added to the confusion, for it was incomprehensible that those people had hurt it, but it could not hurt it back.
"Take the eggs back with you, I'll take care of them. β
An Ran sighed again, he could only helplessly watch as the male fire dragon carefully grabbed the two surviving fire dragon eggs and flew back to the nest, and then felt the tension and sadness drift away.
"You're feeling sorry for that monster, why?" Chi Xiao looked at An Ran with a depressed face, a little puzzled, "It's just that the weak eat the strong, what's not to accept, you look like a little girl who has read too many Gong Yu novels." β
An Ran sat on the raised stone on the side, looked at the group of poachers who fell to the ground and sighed: "It's not that I can't accept it, it's just that I can't imagine that human nature can be so despicable, after all, I'm just a mortal, isn't it normal to be sentimental?"
"Maybe you think you're a mortal, but the power you have won't allow you to be a mortal," Chi Xiao began to give a serious lecture to An Ran, "Chengying said that you want to be a salted fish, I don't quite understand what that means, but if you are still not interested in power like this, sooner or later you will encounter unsolvable difficulties." β
"There is one more thing, it's not that you can order us if you have a sword shrine, this seat is only because of the thin affection of the Yanhuang bloodline, people choose swords, and swords also choose people, and this seat is going back to the sword mound to rest. β
"This imitation sword can withstand the power of the liberation of the real name again, this seat will not protect you until you understand, and then come to the sword shrine when you figure it out. β
"Remember to bring ice cream when you come, big portions!"
"Strength?" An Ran muttered to himself, "Obviously she looks like a little girl, and she feels like an old mother." β
After adjusting his mentality, An Ran began to worry about how to bring this group of poachers back to the camp, first of all, he did not have exquisite rope skills, he could only tie a live buckle at most, and secondly, there was nothing that could be used as a rope in the bare rocky ground around him.
Just as he was considering whether to wait for the poachers to wake up and knock them out one by one, and then repeat it until dawn when hunters passed by, three familiar figures appeared in his sight.
"We received an urgent commission that there was a group of poachers operating in the Fifth Sector, and the search was supposed to start tomorrow morning, because we were worried about you, Wendy told us to come and look for you overnight," Ambert briefly explained their intentions, looked around and patted An Ran on the shoulder with a smile, "Although it feels like we are late, but I still have to say, well done, you can definitely become one of the most powerful hunters." β
"The most powerful hunter, just a slightly stronger ordinary person with a glass heart. γ
In this regard, An Ran smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, at that time he did what he thought he should do, but now he feels as if he did something wrong.
After tying up the poachers and waking them up one by one, Ann decided to go back to the camp with them to get some rest.
"You don't seem to be very happy, is it because of the poachers' behavior?" Wendy, the most lively in the hunting team, jumped up in front of Enron, and the trivial tasks were for Elbert and Sandy to do, and all she needed to do was enlighten Enron, who looked very melancholy.
"It's nothing, I just think I've hurt the male dragon just like the poachers. An Ran shook his head, and suddenly felt that he was a bit of a virgin.
At first, he thought that the other party was just a monster and did not have such a thing as human nature, but when he really felt those emotions, he understood why "the hunter who hunts the most monsters is not necessarily the strongest hunter", because the monsters he faces are also creatures with their own emotions.
Wendy suddenly asked, "What do you think is a monster hunter?"
"Huh?" Enron was a little overwhelmed, he had never understood the world in depth, so he didn't know the definition of a hunter in this world.
"For this world, we are small but unwilling to be violated by monsters, so someone has stepped forward to become a monster hunter," Wendy introduced the history of this world to Enron in a soothing voice, "Until monsters gradually became disadvantaged in hunting due to low reproductive ability, the role of hunters began to gradually change from hunting monsters to maintaining balance and exploring the world." β
"So many powerful hunters have gone to explore the New World," Wendy said as she walked in front of An Ran and looked at him with a smile, "When you go to the New World, remember to write to me, our head is very sure that you can become a legendary hunter." β
"Okay, you look at the road first, look at the road first. Enron had a headache, and Wendy's enthusiasm made him a little unbearable.
"But it's really amazing that you can fight off the male and female fire dragons who are known as the 'strongest couple' by yourself. Wendy, who received a satisfactory answer, seemed very happy and jumped next to her.
"Two, but I only saw a male dragon. An Ran looked at Wendy suspiciously, he really didn't see any female fire dragons.
"Under normal circumstances, when the young dragon is not born, the female fire dragon will not leave the nest, at this time the male fire dragon is responsible for going out to hunt, if the male fire dragon you see is just from hunting......"
Before Wendy could finish her words, she was pulled behind by An Ran, and she didn't understand what was going on, but she could only see a red light curtain wrapping the two of them, followed by a terrifying sight of a fireball hitting the light curtain and shattering into a wave of flames.
"Follow your commander and hurry up, I'll hold it back. β
After the sword curtain dissipated, An Ran rushed up to entangle the guy who launched the attack as soon as possible.
In fact, he didn't understand why he had always wanted to be a salted fish would do this, but if he wanted to explain, it should be that his brain had not had time to react and his body had already moved.
Probably, this is the so-called heroic instinct.
