Chapter 3 The First Mission

Walking out of the Hunters' Guild, Zhou Ming and Long Xiaocheng were still very excited, the morning was not over yet, of course the two were not willing to go back like this, you know, today is Zhou Ming's birthday.

"What's next?" asked Long Xiaocheng.

"I'm going to buy a set of armor, I just saw a lot of shops selling armor on the way here, and it's officially registered with the Hunter's Guild, and the school won't give us armor in missions in the future. Zhou Ming just saw the dazzling array of armor in the store on the street, and he was already itching in his heart, and now that he was done with his business, the two of them simply went shopping, shopping, those armor that was both handsome and had strong defensive capabilities often cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, which was not something he could afford at all, and even the top armor weapons The two novice hunters were not even qualified to take a look, but then again, Zhou Ming, who was just a novice on the road, would not be assigned any overly dangerous tasks, just the general fine iron armor was also completely enough to deal with the situation he needed to face。 So after watching it, Zhou Ming still honestly customized an ordinary light armor, even so, Zhou Ming also paid the cost of two hundred gold coins, this time, but most of his savings, the money left by his mother before leaving bottomed out at once, which made Zhou Ming feel distressed.

"Don't worry, it's not a lot of money for hunters, and when you become an official hunter and get the qualification for independent hunting, it won't take long to earn it back. Long Xiaocheng smiled at Zhou Ming, who sighed for a long time.

In order to adapt to the feel of the new knife, Zhou Ming was still practicing hard during the next vacation, and soon, his light armor was also made, with these, Zhou Ming was a fledgling and could start a hunting life.

......

After this holiday, the students of this class of Silvermoon City Hunter School have basically all officially become hunter apprentices, so when the school starts, these hunter apprentices will officially receive some commissions under the arrangement of the instructor, but, even Zhou Ming did not expect that their first commission came so quickly, on the first day of the new semester, their entire class of hunter apprentices did not even participate in the opening ceremony, so under the leadership of the instructor, they boarded two large buses pulled by the long-haired mammoth and went to a large primeval forest on the northeast side of Silvermoon City, which is the largest forest in the entire Silvermoon Empire, so it was also named Silvermoon Forest after the Empire. The hairy mammoth is one of the few beasts that humans have been able to domesticate and breed on a large scale, and this large beast with good endurance and incredible strength is very suitable for transporting heavy loads.

On the first day of school, the students always had a lot to say, and as soon as they got on the bus, the hunter apprentices chatted one after another.

"Hey, where did you go on vacation?"

"Frost Sky City, do you know, it actually snows there in this season......"

"My dad, I made an appointment with a hunter friend during the holidays, and guess what he gave my dad? A whole earth demon bear! My dad took the bones and hides of the earth demon bear, plus some extra materials, and found someone to make me a suit of armor, which will be shown to you later, which is amazing. ”

"Your father is a general, it's good to have a half-official position in the palace, I can't do it, the family only bought a set of ordinary metal light armor. ”

Zhou Ming smiled, in fact, most people were the same as Zhou Ming and the classmates who had just answered, and then, Zhou Ming's eyes glanced in one direction, because he knew that there was a person who would definitely stand up when he heard this kind of naked show-off.

"Hmph, Earth Demon Bear, garbage beast. "Luo Fulei, the only son of Luo Changsheng, the richest man in the Silver Moon Empire, God knows what kind of nerves he would want to be a hunter, and no one has ever dared to ask about it, "Even if you open your eyes, the Thunder Crystal Halberd of the Thunder Dragon, the body of the sterling silver halberd, the main spine is the sharp horn of the One-Horned Thunder Dragon, and the two side halberds are made of thunder crystals. ”

Suddenly there were countless exclamations and exclamations, Zhou Ming didn't look over, in fact, Luo Fulei was handsome, and his grades were extremely good, plus he was a naked rich second generation, he could be regarded as a winner in life, but the two just didn't like each other, Zhou Ming couldn't get used to Luo Fulei buying a bunch of younger brothers with money, and besides, they already had a girlfriend who was a childhood sweetheart, but there were still math sisters and even instructors who tried to throw them into their arms, yes, this is obviously not leaving a way for the poor people to live!

The long-haired mammoth is still moving slowly, although it is a slow step, but for this kind of behemoth, one step will be four or five steps away, so soon, the majestic city wall of Silver Moon City disappeared behind the mammoth car, and after another hour, the mammoths finally stepped into the jungle of the gentian tree, this gentian tree will emit a smell that most of the fierce beasts are very disgusting, and this smell is not felt by humans, so most of the gentian trees are planted at the border of the forest to prevent the beasts from expanding outside the forest, and entering the jungle of the gentian tree, it means that they have come to the periphery of the silver moon forest。

"It's all quiet, let me explain the main content of this mission. "One of the accompanying instructors clapped his hands, and everyone fell silent," In a few days, there will be a large delegation from the Star Pole Empire, and the banquet for the reception will require a lot of game, so the palace has issued a commission to our hunter school, which needs to hunt about two hundred spiked porcupines and about three hundred four-horned antelopes within three days, and bring the prey back to the camp after killing the prey, hunting an adult spiked porcupine can get a reward of sixty silver coins, and a four-horned antelope fifty silver coins, in addition, although these two fierce beasts are not very threatening, they both live in groups, so the students should mainly hunt in teams, and do not act alone, do you understand?”

"Understood!" the students replied as the two mammoths stopped in a clearing between the gentian trees, which were tent camps reserved for hunters entering the Silvermoon Forest to hunt, and the students and instructors got out of the cars and set up tents on this camp, and erected a fence made of gentian wood around the camp. In less than half an hour, the camp was completed, and by this time, it was already noon, and everyone had finally rested and began to eat the dry food they had brought.

Because the official start time of the mission is tomorrow, so this afternoon the hunter apprentices do not need to go out hunting, this afternoon, the instructor signaled that they can move freely, saying that they are free to move, I am afraid that no one dares to leave the camp too far, after all, this is already the Silver Moon Forest, even if it is the periphery, it may be dangerous at any time, and many hunter apprentices are also the first time to really step into the forest inhabited by fierce beasts, and tension is inevitable. Zhou Ming is a master of art and bold- In fact, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and spent the afternoon a rough search around the camp, and found a few spiked porcupines or four-horned antelope settlements, until the evening when he returned to the camp, he already had in his hand a homemade sketch map of the vicinity of the camp, which is also a compulsory lesson that every hunter should learn, and the other hand dragged a broken wooden pry with three spiked porcupines on it, which he saw in the afternoon with a good chance to sneak up on the prey, and he also happened to test the sharpness of the new knife and the results of his hard work during this holiday, although the task had not yet begun, and the prey could not be handed in for payment, but it is always good to improve the food, there are more than 30 students and instructors, and it is still not a problem for each person to share some.

"Instructor, I'll get three spiked porcupines, and give everyone a barbecue for dinner, which is better than just eating dry food. ”

"Well, hard work. As soon as the instructor finished speaking, a few greedy students arrived, quickly cleaned up the porcupine, and prepared a barbecue feast for dinner.

"Haha, fresh spiked porcupine pork, I'm in for a treat tonight. ”

"This spiked porcupine is so big, one is enough for many people to eat, you say, the palace wants two hundred spiked porcupines and three hundred four-horned antelopes, is this Star Pole Empire going to have an army envoy corps?"

"You don't understand this, it's rare for us ordinary people to have a meal of game, but the big men in the palace don't think so, they just want the back of the neck of the spiked porcupine and the tail of the four-horned antelope, these two are the most delicious places on these two fierce beasts, as for the other places, they are not interested. ”

"Damn, I'm already dying of pleasure if I can eat this meal, and it's really unreasonable for them to pick and choose. ”

The two hunter apprentices who were handling the spiked porcupine spoke without saying a word, and the knives in their hands moved nimbly through the flesh of the spiked porcupine.

"Hmph, a little porcupine is like this, you are hunters, don't be so unproductive. It was Rover, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, and he was the only one who would carry tea with him when hunting.

"You don't want to eat, no one welcomes you. It may be that the topic just now made the busy young man angry with hatred of the rich, and he answered Luo Fulei coldly without raising his head.

"Boy, are you looking for death?" someone dared to speak coldly to Luo Fulei, and of course his group of "followers" had to stand up and approach the young man who was talking wildly one by one. The boy knew that he was speechless, so he quickly got up and stepped back, but the attendants didn't intend to give him a chance to escape, and the two attendants rushed forward and grabbed the teenager.

"Go and kneel down and admit your mistake to Young Master Luo, for the sake of our classmates, we won't pursue this matter. One of the attendants looked at the frightened and angry teenager and threatened with a sinister smile.

"I think he's right. ”

Suddenly, a knife came diagonally from the side, and the attendant, who was still smiling in fright, screamed and retreated several steps.

"You are indeed not welcome to eat this porcupine barbecue. Zhou Ming forced the tip of the knife to the two henchmen who were holding the young man, and his tone was unquestionable.
