Chapter 727: Catherine's Mysterious Letter (4)
Beast Trainer - Knows the wilderness inside out and is able to tame beasts for battle.
This is the description of the Beast Trainer in Nightlord, the branch of the hunter class, but there are only a handful of Beast Trainers in the game who can do this.
Tame the beast for battle, about this requirement, maybe the player can do it, but, the so-called battle here, is definitely not as simple as fighting monsters and leveling up. As an indispensable assistant to the beast trainer, the pet is also an important part of its combat power, and many animal trainers only do two things with their tamed pets, one is to assist in output, and the other is to help fight monsters. Different from other players' pets, the pets tamed by the Beast Trainer are stronger than the pets rewarded by the system in all aspects, even the high-growth pet [Moonlight] obtained by Chu Qianyan, compared with [Rice Grains], although the growth has an advantage, however, in terms of the practicality of skills, it is still lacking.
However, the requirements for the game's animal trainer pet combat are not just as simple as assisting in output, or helping to fight monsters. Skillfully using pets in various battles is what an animal trainer should strive for. Pet manipulation, this technique was originally proposed, not for necromancers, but precisely for animal trainers. It's just that when the pharmacist made the first round of the Heavenly Rankings' stunning control show, more players saw the rise of the necromancer, but ignored the one of the major professions that should pay the most attention to pet control - the beast tamer.
Compared with the pharmacist's watery pet control, Mi Li'er's strength in this regard is not much inferior, but unlike the necromancer, most of the girl's control of pets stems from her keen combat instincts. Although it is equally amazing, it has never reached the realm of pharmacist's roundness and freedom.
However, in terms of "being able to tame wild beasts for battle" alone, Mi Li'er is already a fully qualified animal trainer. However, regarding the previous one, which is well known about the wilderness, none of the animal tamers known by Chu Qianchang can meet this requirement, until he encounters the Oriental Divine Arrow.
The group came out of Grid Alley and followed the Oriental Divine Arrow towards the northeast of Chisong Town, and when everyone walked out of the town, they summoned their mounts and began to hurry. What needs to be mentioned here is that the young Dolin unknowingly pulled a war horse from there, according to the young soldier's sworn assurance, it was given to him by a person from the town cavalry team, but looking at Dolin's flickering appearance, Chu Qianyan deeply doubted the credibility of his words, and could only sigh that after staying with the goblin for a long time, no matter how innocent the young man is, he will know how to take the sheep easily.
The northeast direction of Chisong Town is the red plain that Chu Qianbian said before, after passing through the dense bushes, there is an endless plain area, and the field of vision is full of red colors, full of loneliness and emptiness, such a scene is the first time I have encountered it in "Night Lord".
The Red Plains, like the rest of the Rhine-Luns continent, was once a fertile land, with mountains, rivers, golden wheat fields, and densely populated city-states, and there were generally only two reasons for the current barren landscape - natural disasters and man-made disasters.
The war has destroyed this beautiful place, and the main culprit of this war is not the work of the Abyss Demons, but the result of the misuse of magic by powerful sorcerers.
What makes him feel strange is that when this geography introduces the territory of Otosas, it is not with an objective attitude, and there is a strong subjective color between the lines, not so much a geographical chronicle, but a travelogue of Otosas.
Some wondered, everyone has been led by the Oriental Arrow, to the edge of the red plain, this barren plain is not without vegetation, red grass grows in the cracks of the rocks and cracks in the ground, the lack of water should be the key reason for the lack of plants in this area.
On the ground, the red rocks are intertwined, the sand avenue has lost its traces here, and the wind whistling through the red sand in the distance, walking through the bare mountains, the wind and sand in the sky even dim the sun, and it is not a pleasant journey to travel in such a place.
Dongfang Divine Arrow strangled the mount, looked into the distance, twitched his nose twice, and said with a smile: "The tracking effect of the potion is getting clearer and clearer, it's really strange!" How could a player choose such a place? Red Plains? ”
Listening to Dongfang Shenjian talking to himself, no one in the team spoke, looking like a hunter and a horse. Traveling all the way from Chisong Town, the Oriental Divine Arrow has perfectly demonstrated his keen sense of smell to the road, obviously not even knowing the name of the Red Plains, let alone which road the target is taking.
However, he stubbornly relied on his keen sense, followed the path that the target had taken, and tracked it along the way.
Regarding the potions used by the Oriental Divine Arrow, Chu Qianyan and Smoke and Rain are actually very clear, and after the alchemy major reaches the master level, the formulas that can be learned are even more strange. Some of these alchemy recipes have extremely strict requirements for refining, such as class restrictions, level restrictions, and even professional settings.
The elixir used by the Oriental Divine Arrow is the alchemy elixir that is refined and has strict professional restrictions - tracking potion. This potion can only be refined by a master-level alchemist, which is not difficult for players after three turns, and the materials required for refining this potion are not very rare. However, it is not visible in the market.
&&・&&
[Tracking Elixir]: Level: 75, after use, the user can find the mark left by the target within 2000 yards, and only one mark is left for every 2000 yards in diameter, and the mark lasts for 30 minutes. Duration of the potion: 12 hours.
(Refining requirements: Hunter, master alchemist, pick up and bind.) )
&&・&&
This is the description of the [Tracking Elixir], the refining of this potion not only has strict restrictions, even if the refining is successful, it will be immediately picked up and bound by the refiner, and it cannot be traded with other players.
This also leads to the rarity of this potion, first of all, the class requirement must be a hunter, and it must also be a master alchemist, although there are many players in the game who can meet such requirements, but there are not many of them. Coupled with the restriction of picking up and binding after refining, even if a hunter player is also a master alchemist, it is very rare to refine this kind of thing.
Chu Qianbian once wanted to get an alchemy potion with a similar effect, but he could never find a substitute, so he could only sigh that the hunter was blessed with a unique fortune in tracking. However, the hunters in the game will really use this potion, Chu Qianbian has not encountered it until now, even if there are many top hunters among his friends, the African savior is good at trapping and killing, and his major is engineering + mining; Feiyu Qianmang is good at chasing and killing in the wild, and some of the majors he learned are also engineering + mining.
As for Mi Li'er, the girl herself is road blind, and it is simply impossible to expect her to track her target in the wild.
The Oriental Divine Arrow was the first player to use the [Tracking Elixir] that Chu Qianyan encountered, and this alone was enough to make people pay attention, no matter what the ability of this hunter was in other aspects, at least in this aspect, he had an advantage that players of other professions could not match.
With an advantage, how to maximize this advantage, transform the advantage into a victory, and finally achieve the goal, this is the ultimate goal of establishing an advantage. In this regard, the Oriental Divine Arrow has a keen sense of smell that others can't match, even if it has not been to a place, hunters seem to be able to find shortcuts by instinct.
Another reason why [Tracking Flask] is not popular, and that is that the target will only leave one mark every 2000 yards, and the duration is 30 minutes. If Chu Qianbian was replaced by the [Tracking Elixir], he would definitely set up all kinds of suspicious arrays, so that the tracker would lose his traces, as long as the time exceeded 30 minutes, then he would be able to get rid of the tracker quickly.
In fact, when it came out of Akamatsu Town, the Eastern Divine Arrow only had a general direction, and there was no specific trace of the target at all. However, as the crowd ran wildly, as they approached the Crimson Plains, the mark left by the target was revealed.
Looking at the way the Dongfang Divine Arrow twitched its nose, while Lang Taosha was amazed, he was also a little puzzled, and asked, "Dongfang, are you tracking the target with your sense of smell?" Can this [tracking potion] smell it? ”
Chu Qianyan and Qin Yan Yu smiled and said nothing, they actually had questions about this question, but they never asked it. Everyone has their own secrets, especially those of players, and it is a very abrupt thing to ask rashly.
After a short time together, Dongfang Shenjian already knew that Lang Taosha was just a newcomer who had just come into contact with the game, and he didn't care, but smiled mysteriously: "This is my ability to eat, I can't say it, I can't say it." ”
Lang Taosha pouted helplessly, but his heart was itching, and novices always had the curiosity to break the sand pot and ask the end for things they didn't understand.
Led by the Oriental Divine Arrow, the group rode their horses and galloped, and when they came to the foot of the mountain range of the Red Plain, the hunter signaled to stop, and after carefully identifying it, he couldn't help frowning and being silent.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qianyan felt that they should be close to the target.
Sure enough, I heard the Dongfang Divine Arrow pointing to the two roads in front of me and said, "There is an imprint within 2,000 yards on the right, and there is also an imprint within 2,000 yards on the left." The difference between the two is no more than 15 minutes, and the target is in the mountain. It's just that what is the purpose of this person running around in the mountains? Didn't he understand the gravity of the situation? ”
"Maybe it's a mission requirement." Chu Qianbian frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Mi Li'er and Lang Taosha, "Now is not the time to worry about others, whether it is a player or an NPC, since we have taken this task, don't feel a burden in our hearts, understand?" ”
As for what to do if the target was really a player, Chu Qianbian actually didn't have any burden in his heart, but between the expressions of Mi Li'er and Lang Taosha, he saw a trace of concern. After all, these two newcomers understand the hardships of a game character going to the fourth turn, but they want to end the life of a game character from their own hands, which is still a bit against their conscience in the eyes of Mi Lier and Lang Taosha.
Hearing Chu Qian's stern admonition, the two of them turned pale and said in unison: "Understood!" ”
"Split up." Chu Qianbian waved his hand, "I'll go from the left road, and you will go from the right." ”
"Captain Senwa, are you alone?"
Everyone looked at Chu Qianbian in surprise, but the latter did not explain, and instigated the skeleton war horse to gallop towards the mountain road on the left......
