It was four or five days before Ge regained consciousness.

At this time, he was lying on his own bed, covered with bandages and immobilization, and looked half-dead and miserable.

It was indeed the most serious injury he had ever suffered since he became a hunter.

After careful examination by the village doctor, he had more than 10 fractures all over his body, a laceration on his back that healed very slowly due to toxin residues, multiple burns on the skin on his back, an infection in his lungs due to choking on river water, and a certain displacement of his internal organs due to the violent impact.

It can be said that it is a miracle that he survived.

After the sun set in the river, he and the pork chop were washed out nearly two kilometers away, bruised and fractured, most of which were left behind at that time.

Had it not been for the fact that there was a relatively gentle bend a short distance downstream, which washed him and the pork chops ashore, they might have drowned.

When he washed ashore, Gordon had already fallen into a deep coma, but fortunately the pork chop was still conscious, and it sent a distress signal in time, summoning the nearby Ailu tribe to transport them out of the mountains.

When the badly wounded Gordon was sent back to the village of Kokot, the instructors were all terrified.

Even the old village chief of the dragon clan, who always looked like Alzheimer's, came over in person and checked his injuries.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this guy's body is solid enough to be leather, and although the injuries are severe, they have not left any irreversible damage.

Just to ensure perfect healing of the bones, it is necessary to lie in bed for a full month.

It is true that the healing pills can greatly speed up this process, but overdose of the rejuvenation drugs is likely to cause hyperplasia and dislocation in the bone healing process.

Therefore, it is necessary to recuperate in peace.

During the time he was in bed to recuperate, Gordon became somewhat silent.

The mission failed, he was defeated by the male fire dragon, and if it weren't for his partner Pork Chop desperately rescued, he almost took his life, all of which hit him quite hard.

It is actually very common among hunters to change their personality after a failed mission, and not everyone can successfully get out of the shadow of death fear.

Too many hunters have since laid down their weapons, or lost the courage to continue to challenge powerful monsters, and become "gatherers" for life.

As Gordon's instructor, Ernest naturally had similar concerns, but after hesitating, he still chose not to interfere much.

Even if the former gives up being a hunter from now on, he will not be angry, and those who are not enlightened are killing themselves when they enter the hunting ground, and this kind of "enlightenment" is not something that can be poured out by pouring two sentences of chicken soup.

Whether or not they can regain their courage can only depend on the parties themselves.

However, Ernest's worries proved to be unfounded.

On the first day he was able to get out of bed, Gordon came to the pork chop on crutches and solemnly apologized to him for his previous recklessness.

Later, he went to the instructor's house to seriously reflect on and review his mistakes.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the pre-mission instructor's repeated orders to bring antidote and flashbangs, he didn't know how many times he would have died.

As for giving up being a hunter, Gordon didn't even think about it.

It's better to say that at this time, in his heart, the desire to become stronger is unprecedentedly high.

"Male fire dragon, wait, that day won't be too long."

......

More than a month has passed in a hurry.

Gordon returned home with the pork chops after completing his recovery training for the day, and the cool well water poured over his body, flowing through the muscles that had bulged high due to full congestion, taking away the sweat and steaming heat.

Gordon stretched out in relief, while the pork chop shook and tossed the water everywhere.

The injuries sustained in the battle with the male fire dragon have fully recovered, and Gordon can even feel that his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to a month ago.

Is this the so-called breaking and then standing?

Flushing through the cool shower, Gordon returned to his room, a brand new suit of armor mounted on a humanoid shelf next to the storage box, he stepped forward, touched the shiny alloy armor, and slipped the armor through his body piece by piece.

The original Blue Speeddragon set was badly damaged by the Male Fire Dragon's breath attack, and it has lost the meaning of repair.

So, at the suggestion of the instructor, he placed an order with the workshop to create a new set of equipment called the "Refined Ore Set".

The materials of the new set are mainly earth crystals, iron ore, delphicite and other ore materials, with a small number of blue speed dragon skins, and the overall defense is at the same level as the blue speed dragon set.

However, due to the use of a large amount of metal-based materials, the weight of the Refined Ore set is also a bit heavier than that of the Blue Athlon suit, but fortunately, with Gordon's current physical fitness, this weight is not a burden.

He was very satisfied with being able to create such excellent equipment from the existing stock materials.

As for why he had to be equipped with armor now, it was because the instructor told him very seriously this morning that he would go to the village chief's house after completing his training, and it seemed that there was something very important to say.

Just as the big men in the city always wear new robes when they get together, Gordon feels that to show that he cares, he also needs to wear new armor.

Well, to put it bluntly, he's just looking for a reason to try out new gear.

Armed to the village chief's house, and sure enough, Instructor Ernest was also there.

The instructor and the village chief looked at Gordon's draped appearance outside the door and were a little speechless, but they didn't say much, there are too many hunters who are used to wearing armor as regular clothes.

"Come in, oh yes, put the blaster at the door, don't knock down the floor of the village chief's house." Ernest scolded.

Gordon scratched his head, lowered his weapon, stepped on the "creak" floor, and walked into the village chief's house.

Two strong men and a thin old man sat down around a small table less than half a meter high, which looked a little funny.

The instructor glanced at the staggering village chief, who looked like he was about to fall asleep, sighed, took the initiative to provoke the conversation, and said, "Gordon, you're almost an adult, right?" ”

Gordon was stunned when he heard this, but he still nodded and responded: "Well, yes, it will be eighteen next month." ”

The instructor was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Yes, that little ghost who squeaked and shouted to be a hunter back then is now a guy whose head is taller than me." ”

Gordon blinked, a little unsure of what the instructor meant.

"It's my problem, I always feel that you are not mature enough, you are a chick who can't fly solo, so I keep tethering you to the nest." The instructor continued to mumble to himself.

"Instructor?" Gordon, who sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, spoke cautiously.

As if he had finally made up his mind, the instructor suddenly raised his head, he stared into Gordon's eyes and said, "Gordon, you are a very talented guy, and you are willing to work hard, I firmly believe that your future achievements will be above me." ”

Having never heard an instructor boast about himself so bluntly, Gordon was a little overwhelmed.

Without waiting for him to say anything, the instructor continued: "But Kokot Village is too small and too remote, and there are not many tasks that can be assigned, and more than half of them are either collecting mushrooms or hunting raw meat, and it is difficult to find even a few reliable two-star missions, and even a three-star mission may not receive one in a month."

In retrospect, you said 'I want to see what the dragon looks like' at the time, and if you had more and more suitable options at that time, you wouldn't have chosen the task of stealing the dragon's eggs. ”

Gordon tugged at the corners of his mouth, he really went there purely for excitement at the time, and now he has to tell the truth......

Will you be beaten by the instructor?

It's not too much to say now, right......
