116 Collective hunting a
It took about a day for Charlie to fulfill all his promises, and at least four clients took their own pay and left satisfied.
Charlie changed into a tight leather suit, wore a gray scarf, carried three quivers of different sizes, carried a twilight longbow, and finally tied a hunting dagger to his calf, dressed himself as a ranger, and all the mage equipment except the ring was included in the spatial ring.
Charlie went downstairs, blended into the crowded and chaotic crowd of the bar, took advantage of the night, and disappeared without a trace.
In front of the platform in the Twilight Mission Plaza, a group hunt is being organized, which is a tradition in Twilighttown, where countless squads join the hunt in a free way, fighting separately in small teams or individuals, and only working together in times of danger.
The spoils of war are collected by individuals and squads, and the only principle is that malicious vendetta is not allowed, otherwise, they will be targeted by everyone, and this principle has a certain effect due to the relatively dense crowd during the group hunt.
Past experience tells people that rules are just rules, because of interests, or because of hatred, there will always be people who will take risks, and only the actions of the squad can protect the interests, so many people directly interviewed and recruited temporary teammates in front of the square, shouting one after another.
"The Scarlet Clan, led by two star mages, commanded by an old hunter, there is a shortage of a healer, and those who are interested will talk to me in detail. ”
"The Moon Demon Squad, a veteran team, has first-class strength, there is a shortage of a shield axeman, sincere recruitment, first-class treatment, friends with ideas invite me to come here. ”
“......”
As an unprofessional ranger, unaware of the surrounding terrain, and it was the first time to participate in a group hunt, this kind of activity is different from the academy mission of "clearing the wilderness", it goes deeper into the depths of the wasteland, and the risk is more than ten times higher, Charlie feels that he still needs a team, barely gangsters experience.
Charlie tried to get close to a few strong teams, and then, in different interviews, encountered some problems.
"What level do you have to reach to make traps?"
"Do you know how to domesticate beasts?"
"Tell us a little about your experience in finding Warcraft?"
Faced with the problem of the ranger's professional field, Charlie could only shake his head, so those people also shook their heads with disdain for Charlie, not to mention giving him the opportunity to perform archery, not even giving him a chance to introduce himself.
After looking around, Charlie found that he basically had no room for choice, the team he could look up to was basically not looking down on him, and Charlie could only choose a team that lacked only one person.
"What level of Ranger are you?" asked the only girl in the group, the corners of her mouth raised proudly.
According to the old classification system of the Arcane Ring, the ranks of the Ranger from low to high are: Apprentice, Official, Jungle Hunter, Jungle Master, and Wind Hunter.
Charlie replied: "I haven't been studying the ranger's vocational course for a long time, if in terms of knowledge, it is the level of apprenticeship, but my archery skills are good, at least at the level of a full-fledged ranger." ”
"What damage can an informal ranger have?!Can he be stronger than a mage?!You don't know hunting skills, so what's the use of you?!" The girl pursed her lips, turned to the team leader and said, "Brother, why are you accepting a bastard in?
The captain glanced at Charlie, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Yuli, the team is not as good as you think, there is no shortage of various mages in Twilight Town, but there is a lack of combat positions, no matter how bad he is, he is also a ranger, and he has a personal advantage that the mage profession cannot match." ”
In fact, this team is as strange as Charlie's previous team, except for the captain, who is a shield swordsman, everyone else is a mage, and there is no healer.
Yuri turned his head, pointed his nostrils at Charlie, and said, "I said Trainee Ranger, do you want to perform your strength project, let's see what aspects you are better than the mage?"
I really don't know who is used to her picking, a team that doesn't even have a first-year rookie team that doesn't even have a star mage, and there is only one gold badge apprentice among the five people, which is not too much to describe as a group of rabble.
Charlie took a few steps forward and quietly opened a quiver, revealing clusters of cold and shining metal arrows, the arrows shimmered with pale golden lines, and the full of holy light energy overflowed from the mouth of the quiver, causing the surrounding people to look sideways.
"Don't say that the trainee ranger is not lethal, you see, my biggest advantage is that I have money, is this reason enough?"
Yuri glared at him fiercely, "That also depends on whether you can shoot your prey!"
Charlie laughed and said, "Don't worry, no matter how far you shoot, it won't shoot on you." ”
A joke instantly closes the distance between the strangers, and the rest of the team lets out a strange laugh, and Yuri is so excited that her face turns red and she rolls her eyes at Charlie.
The captain glared at Charlie and said in a rough voice: "Okay, the team members are recruited, we follow the rhythm of the large army, according to the usual practice, there is probably a break for three magic bells, and in addition, before the hunt begins, I have to tell a few things."
First, we are a temporary team, I don't expect you to be able to perform beyond friendship in the face of life and death crises, but there is no bad competition between them, as long as you put in enough effort, even if you don't perform as well as others, there will be a reward for you, I am very fair and generous.
If someone disagrees with me, I hope he had better bring it up now, either solve it or leave, otherwise, when the time comes, he will be abandoned by the team and lost in the primeval jungle, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Second, don't have the idea of messing around, if your performance is too far behind the squad, I'm sorry! We don't want this kind of person! You'd better dispel this idea before the hunt starts, otherwise, refer to the previous punishment.
Third, maintain restraint, especially in the face of competition between teams, you must have a clear understanding of your own strength, there are many strong people in Twilight Town, and based on the law of the jungle in Twilight Town, no one will care about the fight in the wilderness, if any of you can't control your emotions, please don't blame us for drawing a line with you, and solve the trouble by yourself.
Got it?"
The rest of the squad responds lazily, like veterans, and these are some of the drawbacks of the makeshift squad, everyone is selfish, and sometimes it is necessary to make things clear before starting, lest anyone be confused about the situation, or be lucky.
Charlie's stay in the makeshift team was only a temporary decision, and once Charlie was familiar with the surrounding terrain, he could try to start his personal hunt.
After speaking, the team leader said solemnly to Charlie: "Classmate, I only have two small requirements for you. First, don't let the enchanted arrows go unnoticed, follow my command, and second, as a ranger, I hope you can warn the team in time, perception is the most valuable ability in the wilderness. ”
In other words, there is the meaning of letting Charlie explore the way, which is dirty work, hard and tiring, and dangerous.
Charlie agreed, "Yes, my perception is not bad." ”
Three hours passed quickly, a hunting team of more than 100 squads assembled in Twilighttown's mission square, plus the undead summoned by the necromancer, the entire square contained no less than a thousand living beings, and there were tall and powerful giant stitching monsters and white bone skeletons with carrion everywhere, human heads moving, demons dancing wildly, and all kinds of strange costumes opened Charlie's eyes.
With the sound of a loud horn, the gates of the mission square opened, and the weekly group hunt began, and the apprentices rushed out of the gate and stepped into the dense forest.
