Volume 1 Chapter 72 Wandering (1)
Today was the last day of Miss Anna's first round of the competition, and Byron still didn't go, he chose to go and see the aquatic monsters.
According to the people working in the Adventurers' Association, most of the adventurer groups are in partnership with local fishing boat owners, and the adventurer groups are responsible for protecting the fishing boats, while the fishermen help take the adventurer groups and others to hunt monsters in slightly deeper waters.
When Byron came to the port, there were many large and small merchant fishing boats, and each fishing boat was not the size of the ancient flat boat that Byron remembered.
And at this point in time, most of the large fishing boats have already set off with adventurers, leaving behind a few leisurely fishermen waiting for some scattered adventurers to go to sea, this fisherman's boat is not very large, so they will not drive the boat too close to the port, not much pursuit of profit, but at least to ensure safety.
Byron heard an old fisherman shouting as if he were the last adventurer on board, and Byron rushed over.
"Two gold coins are the round-trip fare. The old fisherman stretched out his hand to Byron.
Two gold coins is a reasonable price, if you can hunt the meat of a second-order aquatic demonic beast in one trip, it is enough to sell it for hundreds of gold, although not every adventurer can go to sea to harvest back and forth, and the situation of returning empty-handed is actually the majority.
Two gold coins were delivered, and Byron was on board, the boat was medium to small, and there were six members on it, including the old fisherman and his son, and they were all adventurers, and they were all in groups of three or three, not knowing what to discuss.
Byron sat down on the deck, looking through the Bestiary and the hunting guide given by the Adventurers' Guild, and everything was quite harmonious.
"Hello. A voice came from behind Byron, who turned her head away, a female adventurer with long black hair, her face and arms were slightly darkened, because she had been hunting underwater for a long time, but this did not affect her refreshing smile at all, and her appearance was plain but very kind.
"I'm Laura, get to know me. ”
Byron shook the other's hand and replied simply, "Lucifal." "So the two of them know each other.
"Are you here hunting for the first time?"
"Yes, what, is it easy to tell?" Byron used to hunt alone.
Laura chuckled, "And it's from another city, right?"
Byron was a little puzzled, why everyone said this to him, the waiter in the restaurant and the waitress in the Adventurers' Guild had said this about Byron.
However, this time, before Byron could ask why, Laura continued: "The people of Water City, no one will come to hunt aquatic monsters alone, in the water, it is the domain of those aquatic monsters, they have significant advantages, on the contrary, human actions are blocked, and it is completely impossible for one person to complete such a hunt. ”
Laura's words were finished without glancing at her other two teammates and another small group, and Byron also looked back, and the other five all showed mocking eyes, as if they were laughing at his ignorance, wasting two gold coins.
"I'm just here to see the aquatic beasts and your hunting methods, just curious. Byron disagreed, and that's exactly what he had in mind.
"That's a good choice, well, if there's anything you can ask me, I might be able to answer it for you. Laura waved back to her two teammates.
Byron continued to silently look at the two books in his hand, according to the above, human beings are moving in the water, and their speed and strength are resisted by the water.
That is to say, you may encounter a magical beast with the same strength as you on land, and you can have more ways and greater certainty to defeat, but in the water, it is equivalent to fighting in a state of suppression with your strength.
"It seems that as I know, not much has changed, depending on how they hunt. Byron closed the book he had finished reading and lay down on the bow plywood, looking very comfortable.
The water city is really a bit like a paradise, and the weather is completely different from the weather encountered when I came here before, there is a kind of rainy weather that Byron encountered before as if it was to cover up the existence of this water city.
Under the warm sun, there was a blue sky and white clouds, and the sound of waves in the sea was too sleepy, but Byron felt a little sleepy, and only heard someone shouting in a low voice: "There are monsters nearby!"
The voice was not loud, but Byron heard it clearly, and he immediately sat up, and looked back at the two groups of people on either side of the boat, and the two groups actually began to tie long ropes around the waist of one of them at the same time, one of them was Laura.
"Do you see what kind of monster it is?" asked Laura.
"Well, it's the bloodthirsty tiger shark, a second-order demonic beast. ”
"Okay, then follow the previous battle plan. After checking that the rope was secure, Laura jumped into the water, and the other two held the other end of the rope, and the other stood with a staff in hand.
The person holding the staff, his wand was still glowing, was maintaining some kind of magic, Byron looked at it, and suddenly thought of what the guide said, elementary spiritism, a kind of magic that communicates elements to obtain information, and it is thought that it is used to observe the situation in the water, and the three people on the other side are also in the same situation.
As soon as he saw this, Byron immediately jumped into the water, and at the bottom of the water, Byron pursued Laura's location, and as soon as he found her figure, he quietly observed in the back position.
I don't know what method was used, but after a while, a subtle voice came from a distance, a big guy came towards Laura, huge in size, and the speed in the water was even more amazing, and that opening was enough to swallow three or four Laura.
In front of this kind of monster, it is undoubtedly difficult for you to escape, but fortunately, Laura knew in advance that the other party was coming, and pulled the rope in advance to remind her teammates that it was time to pull her back.
The pull on the rope and Laura's own swim towards the surface of the water, just at the moment when the bloodthirsty tiger shark rushed to her side, Laura was out of the water, and the bloodthirsty tiger shark also jumped out of the water to bite Laura off.
Laura, who jumped out of the water, was considered to be the strength of a true high-level warrior of the earth, and the long sword in her hand swung a half-moon-shaped arc of light, and the mage on the other side who had been in the position of the beginner psychic also chanted the icicle technique and hit the gill hole of the bloodthirsty tiger shark.
At this time, another person who was pulling the rope had an extra net-like thing in his hand, and he spread it hard, and he skillfully caught the bloodthirsty tiger shark, and then finally Laura made up for the final blow to the seriously injured bloodthirsty tiger shark in the water.
The time spent on this series of operations is actually very short, but the difficulty of it should not be underestimated, and there is no room for mistakes in each link, and it is also their long-term operation that they can do so proficiently as Laura.
The body of the bloodthirsty tiger shark was put on the splint, and the three of Laura were much more relaxed, although they still had the sound of rapid breathing, while on the other side, they were empty-handed on the boat, and they cast envious eyes on Laura and the others.
