The hunter and the monster confronted each other.

They all know that their current state is not suitable for continuing to fight, but no one is willing to turn around first, and whoever shows his cowardice first may lose the initiative in the battle.

Gordon suddenly grinned and smiled.

The reason why hunters can survive in the face of monsters that are too much stronger than humans, and even win in battle, relies on flexible brains and endless means.

The skin is soft and the body is fragile, so it arms itself with metal and monster scale armor,

Without sharp claws and teeth, he uses wisdom and technology to create a variety of powerful weapons.

Physical strength and self-healing ability are not as good as monsters, so use alchemy drugs to make up for it.

With the greatsword in front of him with one hand, Gordon reached out and took out the hunters' favorite healing potion from the bag behind his waist......

This is an advanced recovery medicine made by adding honey to the ordinary recovery medicine and further extracting it, and its medicinal effect is nearly doubled compared to the ordinary version.

Of course, the cost price is also much more expensive, and Gordon is usually reluctant to use it, but now is the best time to use it.

After two sips, he poured down the emerald green potion in the glass medicine, and Gordon threw away the bottle and smacked his lips, it tasted good.

The effect is even better.

The warm feeling instantly spread throughout the body, and the wounds on the ribs of the chest and palms quickly stopped bleeding.

It was naturally impossible to heal immediately, and it would take a while for the full effect of the medicine to be fully exerted, but in just a few seconds, he felt that he had recovered at least seventy or eighty percent of his combat strength.

The Blue Speed Dragon King slowly retreated.

The beast's instincts told it that the other party was not bluffing.

It's only been two or three breaths, how did that guy's obviously weakened breath recover so much?!

Bright yellow pupils stared at the hunter, and the Blue Speed Dragon King continued to retreat—it knew it had to retreat.

Retreating to the edge of the forest, the Blue Speed Dragon King let out a menacing roar, staring deeply at Gordon, seeing that the latter had no intention of pursuing, he turned and fled into the jungle, eventually disappearing into the dark shade.

Gordon shook his arms, half-crouched, took out the stone, and carefully polished every blood-stained hook blade of the blasting knife.

The continuous slashing and slashing has dulled the hook blade of the blaster knife a little, and if it is not polished in time to restore its sharpness, it will affect the power of the weapon.

After polishing his weapon, Gordon drank another bottle of recovery medicine, ate another piece of food to replenish his strength, and after a short rest, he picked up the blaster again.

Carefully discerning the footprints and blood trails hidden among the weeds and fallen leaves, Gordon looked confidently in a certain direction.

The Blue Speed Dragon King, you can't run away.

......

The Blue Speedosaurs are predators who are good hunters, but they are not good at stealth.

In the mountains and forests of Shuretsen Hill at the end of winter, a pursuit battle that lasted for half a day finally came to an end in the afternoon when the sun was setting.

The Blue Speed Dragon King fled several times, fought back, and even called his fellow clans near the lair to launch an ambush, but they were all defused by Gordon steadily.

The Blue Speed Dragon King, whose hind limbs were severely injured and his combat effectiveness was seriously damaged, did not cause him any real trouble even in the end.

The huge crown, which symbolized the status of the king of the race, was eventually cut off by the hunters and became a trophy to prove that the hunt was completed.

After finally escorting the caravan to safety, the pork chops that hurriedly returned to the camp did not return to the camp to round Gordon until after the sun had set.

Looking at the Blue Speed Dragon King materials that were still stained with blood, the pork chops looked a little lost.

Mistress Gordon doesn't seem to need his own help, and can successfully hunt these powerful monsters......

But Gordon just pointed to his broken breastplate, and the terrible wound on his chest to his waist and ribs, although the bleeding stopped, the flesh still turned out, and said with a smile:

"If you were here, I wouldn't be so badly hurt."

"yes, I'm sorry meow!"

"I don't blame you, just state the facts, don't be discouraged there, come and help me stitch and bandage my wounds!"

"Okay meow!"

"Ahh

"It's going to be crooked! Don't meow! ”

"You're light!"

"I'm just an Ailu, not good at needlework! Please bear with meow! ”

......

After successfully hunting the Blue Speed Dragon King and successfully solving the urgent mission, Gordon's hunter rank was rightfully promoted to two stars.

Looking at the second star-shaped mark on the skin cover of his hunter's notebook, the young hunter bared his teeth and grinned like a fool.

Hunter level up represents more than just honor.

More tasks to choose from, higher pay standards, all these are real benefits.

In comparison, the "small injuries" on the body are not worth mentioning.

Due to the poor skill of pork chop sewing needles, there is a scar on the chest? Gordon won't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, as a hunter, who can not have a few scars on his body?

To celebrate his promotion, Gordon took the instructor and pork chop and went to the village's only tavern and restaurant for a feast.

Charcoal-grilled mammoth steak, salad with warts and tender potatoes, herb-fed dragontail soup with onions and tomatoes, and creamy baked shiitake mushrooms......

A meal cost nearly 500 gold, but Gordon didn't feel distressed.

Occasional extravagance is also necessary!

After the feast, Gordon and Pork Chop returned to their daily routine.

As the winter passed, the months-long hunting ban ended, leaving the Hunters' Guild with a backlog of unresolved commissions, and even in a remote country like Kokot Village, there was a lot of money.

Although the vast majority of them are still one-star commissions.

Gordon, who was finally qualified to take on the two-star mission, directly pulled the large number of one-star commissions aside, didn't bother to look at it, and happily picked up the only two-star mission list.

The guild's classification of mission difficulty is very mature and standardized, and there is a clear difference between even the lowest level of one-star and two-star.

One-star quests focus on collecting settlement items such as specialty shiitake mushrooms, and crusade against multiple small monsters such as blue speed dragons and large wild boars.

And from two stars, there will be large monsters involved.

Although it is only the Great Boar King, the Blue Speed Dragon King and the like are "not on the table" in the eyes of powerful hunters, they are also a hurdle that all novice hunters must face.

If you cross the past, you will have the possibility of going further, and if you can't cross it, you will only be able to work in mushrooms and raw meat for the rest of your life.

According to the Hunters' Guild, at least one-third of registered hunters spend their entire lives wandering in one-star missions.

Maybe it's a lack of courage to face large monsters, maybe it's a lack of talent, or maybe it's for safety and family considerations, they have no intention of becoming stronger, and they won't take the initiative to contact those dangerous big monsters, just want to be safe and stable for a lifetime.

Some people despise these "hunters", some sympathize, and some ridicule, but no one can deny their contribution to human society.

Otherwise, who do you think the massive one-star missions that exceed the total number of guild tasks are all completed?

Of course, at this time, Gordon, whose mind is full of "making money, becoming stronger, and hunting more powerful monsters", will not think about these, and at this time, his eyes have been firmly attracted by the two-star task list.

To be precise, it's the number on the reward bar.
