Chapter 1: The Path to Advanced Hunters
"Mo Yan, come down to eat! You know that playing, sleeping, and assessing all day are very important for your later life!!" The mother was angry and scolded her son for playing and sleeping all day.
"Okay, okay, all day long, I know to talk about it, are you in menopause, annoyed to death. ”
The voice came from the second floor, it was the mother's son, named Mo Yan, who was just 18 years old, with a handsome face but no fighting spirit, and was idle all day long.
No one in Mo Yan's family has the talent to be a hunter, but for generations, they have made a living by selling medicines, and they have become the ancestral business of the family, and their reputation is not famous, but it is well known in this Bisang Town. Only in this generation, Mo Yan is not angry but wants to be a hunter, distracted all day long, and his master of his family's door is less than fifty percent, his mother worries about him all day long, but his father does not think the same as his wife, he believes that young people have their own dreams.
After all, she is a mother and knows how to be filial, so Mo Yan can only obediently go downstairs to eat.
"Mom, I want to go out, I don't want to stay at home to learn these boring things, I want to be a hunter and make a living on my own, this is also my dream," Mo Yan put down his hand and said to his mother with a serious face.
"Do you know what the concept of a hunter is, you have to deal with all kinds of wild monsters and beasts every day to collect their essence, you have to mine all kinds of ores every day to make weapons for a living, and you also have to participate in the qualification and level exams of the hunter, this road is not easy to walk, it is not as easy as selling medicine at home. His mother did not answer him, but his father did, speaking at a steady pace and with a worried look in his eyes, knowing that his own people had not had the talent of hunters for many generations.
"Dad, I am very determined in this dream. ”
"Alright then, you're not too young, it's time for you to go out and see the world. Just a week later, there will be a qualification tournament for the Hunter in the Imperial Capital, and tomorrow you will go buy some equipment, and it will take some time to participate in the qualifier, and during this time you will have to hurry up and make your first weapon. Mo Yan's father thought deeply, maybe his son had this talent.
After saying that, the family continued to eat. Obviously, the father agreed, but although Mo Yan's mother didn't speak, she was still reluctant to let her child leave. Mo Yan's heart is now extremely excited and carnival, which is the beginning of his dream and a turning point in his life.
On this day, Mo Yan behaved very well-behaved and positive in front of his father and mother, in order not to make them regret this decision, it was only temporary. After surviving today, tomorrow will be the land of freedom!
When it was time to go to bed at night, I still couldn't calm my mood for a long time, so I got up and picked up a pen and paper and wrote down what I needed to buy tomorrow. After writing, it will take dozens of minutes to close your eyes before you can fall asleep.
The town of Pisan, as its name suggests. The place is not big, but it is not small, and it is biased towards the direction of the forest. The people of the town make a living by hunting and selling the essence of wild beasts and monsters, and some make a living by doing business, and it is said that dangerous monsters appear in the forest. Although the town has a population of only a few hundred people, the people are in harmony with each other, take care of each other, and have very little struggle. The population is small because it is far away from the imperial capital, it is more troublesome to do business, and the surrounding rivers are complex, so it is a remote place.
In the morning, Mo Yan got up to pack his package, and the next thing he was waiting for was to get the money and set off.
"You little rabbit, I have to wake you up every day, it's so early today, hey, it would be nice if I changed it, I'll give it to you," Mo Yan's mother said so, but she had already put her mind at ease, and after his father's communication last night, she supported Mo Yan's dream, and she was also smiling in the morning.
Taking a cloth bag with 50 gold coins, Mo Yan calculated, first go to the equipment store to buy ordinary essence collection bottles and hammers for crafting, and the rest should be enough to buy the weapons he created from other people's stalls.
The town is still as lively as before, crowded with people, all kinds of sales and all kinds of calls. Mo Yan walked towards the equipment store with great interest, and as soon as he entered the store, as if he had been reborn, his blood boiled, and he said in his heart, "Finally, I don't have to see medicinal herbs every day." ”
The first time I came to the equipment shop, although they were all ordinary, the amount was very amazing, there were all kinds of auxiliary equipment on the walls, underground, and iron shelves, such as invisible sprays, stun hammers, power boosters, and small hammers and essence collection bottles for crafting weapons.
Looking at these gorgeous equipment, and looking at the expensive price marked next to the equipment, Mo Yan could only look at quenching his thirst, or honestly went to buy the essence collection bottle and hammer, and in order to hold things, he also bought a small backpack with multiple pockets.
After buying these two simple things, there are only 28 gold coins left, and the next step is to go to the stall next to the fountain to buy weapons. It's summer, and a lot of people like to set up tents around the fountain, and it's cool. Although the tent used to set up the stall is simple in work, it only has a piece of cloth on the top of the head and four iron feet to support it, it is 3 meters high, and the weight is not heavy, and it can be shrunk into a stick, so it is very easy to carry.
Mo Yan first observed the various stalls next to the fountain to see if anyone was impressed. All weapons crafted with essences and ores will have exclusive totems and unique additional effects that can be activated by the mind, but only the weapons of ore are not available, and the price is higher than that.
"Little brother, look at you as a freshly debuted hunter, come and take a look, I have an essence weapon suitable for your debut, no worse than others. An uncle with a stubble face, hooked nose, and Danfeng eyes stopped Mo Yan, and the uncle's voice was tough and powerful. After speaking, he also took a broadsword from the stall and showed it to Mo Yan.
Turning his head, Mo Yan saw at a glance that the broadsword with very exquisite workmanship and shining material attracted him, and walked over: "Boss, how can this broadsword be sold?"
"Little brother really has a vision, this giant sword is a good thing, with the effect of damage bonus! How about selling it for 80 gold coins!" the uncle gestured in front of Mo Yan with a broadsword.
Hearing the 80 gold coins, Mo Yan's brows furrowed, although it was a good sword, there were only 28 gold coins left on his body, and he could only exchange them for other weapons. Mo Yan didn't answer the uncle, but swept around the stall he set up.
The uncle saw the meaning of Mo Yan's expression, according to his years of experience, there were only two possibilities, one was that he couldn't look down on this broadsword, and the other was that he didn't have so many gold coins. From Mo Yan's dress, the uncle can conclude that it must be the second type.
"Little brother, look at this dagger, it has the effect of temporarily increasing your movement speed, how about selling you for 35 gold coins for heavy bleeding. The uncle didn't ask Mo Yan directly how many gold coins he carried, but chose a weapon with a low and medium price to ask Mo Yan.
Mo Yan took the dagger in his uncle's hand, practiced a few times in his hand, and found that it felt good, and there was a totem of claws on it. However, 35 gold coins only have 28 gold coins themselves. "Uncle, I have 28 gold coins left on me, and I'm just preparing for the path of advanced hunter today, and the qualification assessment will not be held until next Monday, so I can see that I am a newcomer."
The uncle thought for a while before he replied: "I think I was also a newcomer at the beginning, and I take great care of newcomers, so I will charge you 28 gold coins, but you will have to take care of me often in the future, if you have the essence, you can sell me directly, I will count more! My surname is Zhao, just call me Uncle Zhao!"
28 gold coins were handed over to the uncle, and after agreeing to the uncle, he simply said goodbye. The first essence weapon in life, Mo Yan's first action was to try it in the wild immediately.
Heading to the Wanmu Forest, the town goes straight east to a crossroads, and there is a sign made of wood in the middle of the intersection, pointing to the left that says Pisang Town, pointing to the right that says Wanmu Forest, pointing forward to Lake Xiantian, and the back is the port leading to the imperial capital and other towns.
As the name suggests, the forest is made up of huge trees, and people are as small as ants in comparison, and behind the birds and flowers hide all kinds of fierce beasts and monsters.
When Mo Yan was a child, he often came here with his father to pick medicinal herbs, and he was only familiar with the front half of this forest, knowing where it was safe, and the back half of the forest was deep in the forest that was not suitable for people who were not suitable for medicinal herbs.
Walking through the bushes, Mo Yan suddenly stopped and hid behind the big trees in an instant, because a dog fox appeared in front of him, and Mo Yan found that this dog fox was foraging for food.
The shape is like a dog and a fox, and the only thing that can be distinguished is the three tails on the back. This kind of fox is the easiest to catch when eating, they tend to focus on food, as long as there is not much movement, they will not care, in the forest this kind of fox has a number of thousands, easy to catch, so the essence of this fox in the market purchase price is very cheap.
Mo Yan cautiously approached the dog fox, the dagger was held back, and the half-squatting posture was forward, and when the distance was one meter left, the intention turned on the effect of the dagger movement speed bonus, and the dagger claw totem lit up, Mo Yan suddenly felt that there was an endless amount of strength in his legs, and rushed towards the dog fox vigorously, and the dagger's backhand perfectly slashed from the dog fox's body.
The bonus effect of the dagger disappeared, and the totem became normal and the brightness was even darker, Mo Yan tried to open it indefinitely, closed his eyes, and tried to open it with his mind, but failed, obviously this effect has a cooldown time.
The dog fox howled in pain in an instant and fell to the ground.
The dead souls and bodies of wild beasts and monsters will turn into the so-called essence, and every time a beast monster is killed and turned into an essence, another one will be reborn, and the cycle will be infinite, and this biological chain in the wild will not be destroyed. Only domestic animals and humans do not turn into essence after death, and this is also a problem that has not been explained.
The body began to glow white, and then began to disappear, and the body of the dog fox was disappearing and turned into white starlight, and these starlights gathered in the middle until the body disappeared completely, and finally formed a white essence of the dog fox in the shape of a dog fox's head floating in the air.
When he took out the essence collection bottle and was about to put the essence of the dog fox into the bottle, Mo Yan found an embarrassing problem! He didn't know how to use the collection bottle, and he patronized and bought things in the morning, but he didn't expect that it was the first time he used it.
Mo Yan sat on the grass opposite him, and the essence of his helplessness in front of him was in a daze. Study the collection bottle. The collection bottle is made of white transparent glass, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a crystal stopper at the mouth and a crack in the middle of the bottom of the bottle, and there seems to be a container inside the bottle, which is round. Mo Yan opened the crystal stopper, but it still had no effect.
Suddenly, a terrifying wolf howl roared behind Mo Yan, and another voice accompanied the wolf howl.
"Get out of the way!!!"
