"In the past, I was too well protected by Master." Hayatta put her arms around Xianglan and rubbed the little one's round cheeks, "And the village chief's mother-in-law helped me experience the life of a hunter from the beginning.

The following spring, when I stood in front of the strange dragon again, I would still be afraid, but my hands and feet would no longer tremble.

Although the result of the second hunt was still a failure, I was able to retreat calmly, and the nightmare of being devoured by the strange dragon was also far away.

When summer came, I finally cut off the head of the strange dragon. ”

"In the second half of your story, you jumped too fast!" Gordon couldn't help but complain.

Hayatta pouted and rested her chin on the top of Pandan's head, "I'm not good at storytelling anyway. ”

Gordon picked up a squid whisker and said as he chewed: "Actually, when you took over the novice equipment handed to you by the village chief's mother-in-law, you had already walked out. ”

"Is that so?" Hayatta blinked.

"Yes."

Azi agreed with Gordon, "Those who have experienced life and death and are able to pick up arms again and walk into the hunting ground can basically come out." ”

"So, has Azge ever happened to something similar?" Aisha asked curiously.

Before, when Azi recounted his experience, it was full of only fishing everywhere and killing all sides, and it seemed that there had never been a failure.

Azi and Gordon looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

"That's going to be tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Gordon sat up from the floor punctually.

Azi is away all the year round, and there is no furniture at home, so laying on the floor is the only option, but fortunately, Gordon does not pick a place to sleep, and he can sleep soundly on the floor.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

Az, already dressed in gear, walked in.

"Yo, wake up."

He tossed Gordon two pieces of alocasia left over from the previous night, and gave the pork chop a piece of dried fish, and it was a simple breakfast.

"Hurry up and get ready, you'll be going to leave in a while."

Gordon finished his stomach and stood up.

"Underwater warfare today? To be honest, I haven't tried water fighting yet, although I can swim, but it's only to the extent that I can't drown, and Hayatta is probably about the same, okay? ”

"Ah!"

Azi waved his hand aggressively, "This kind of thing is instinct, instinct!" You'll know what to do as soon as you get out of the water! ”

Gordon was in a cold sweat when he heard this, why did he forget that this guy was a sea citizen?

Could his own "instincts" be the same as his?

Noticing Gordon's nervousness, Azi explained with a smile: "I know what you're worried about, don't think about it so much, underwater warfare is different from swimming, just overcome the fear of water and get used to resistance."

If the opponent is a monster like a sea dragon, of course I don't dare to mess around with you, but it's just a few sharks, no problem! ”

Gordon thought about it, too.

The danger level of the shark should be similar to that of the Blue Speed Dragon, even if it can't control its hands and feet well underwater, it can be crushed with equipment.

"The respirator and counterweight will be prepared for you, if you are really worried for a while, you can jump into the sea first to get used to it, and then go to the hunting grounds."

Gordon heard two key words, "Respirators?" Counterweights? Do you still need these things for water wars? ”

"Wait a minute."

Azi ran out and came back shortly after.

He was holding up some pieces of cork and lead.

"These are counterweights, fixed to the armor, if the equipment is heavy, get more cork, if the equipment is buoyant, get some lead, in short, let you be able to levitate underwater in an upright position, so that you can save a lot of effort."

Gordon nodded, this was easy to understand, he was more concerned about something else in Az's hand.

It was an oddly shaped mask with two fang-like branches on either side.

"Well, it's the people of the sea, so you don't need this, but you may need it."

Azi pointed to the two horizontal branches, "It's filled with oxygen algae, which can provide you with oxygen for a few minutes, and when the oxygen is depleted and you return to the surface for ventilation, it can also quickly re-store oxygen, which is very convenient." ”

Gordon took the respirator, and his heart was half relaxed.

What he is most worried about is the problem of holding his breath, but fortunately, there is the corresponding equipment to solve it, but he is wearing a helmet and it is estimated that he will not be able to wear this anymore, so it seems that he can only give up the helmet temporarily.

"By the way, what are they going to do with pork chops?"

"It's okay meow!" The pork chop holds the dried fish in its mouth, and confidently crosses its waist.

"Elu cats know more water than you think, and their diving ability even surpasses that of us seamen, which is a physiological advantage."

"That's right, meow!"

Gordon was relieved to hear this, and while washing, he chatted with Azi.

"Gollum, Phew—Az, do you seafolk have a tradition of painting war paints on your body before going out to sea to fish, or before setting out on a hunt?"

Azi tilted his head when he heard this, "There is such a tradition, do you want to try it?" ”

"Is that okay?" Gordon was a little interested, "Who are you looking to paint, is there any special dye, the kind that won't faint if it gets wet?" ”

Az's expression became ambiguous, "The dye is easy to say, my mother has it, the point is, the question is who do you want to help you draw, Miss Hayata?" ”

"Why Hayata?"

"According to the tradition of the sea people, it is the wife who helps her husband draw war paints."

“.”

Gordon froze.

"You didn't say it."

"Hee-hee-hee, do you want to help you go and tell Miss Hayata?"

"Get out!"

Suppressed by force, after obtaining assurances that Azi would not talk nonsense.

Gordon was equipped with armor, and the two went out together, went to Aisha's house to bring Hayatta and Xianglan, and then went to find the village chief to receive the mission certificate.

Glancing at the breathing mask in Gordon's hand, the village chief smiled and said, "It seems that you are all ready, as long as you use the respirator well, even if you are new to water warfare, there will be no big problem." ”

"What is a respirator?" Hayatta asked curiously.

"How does this thing work?" Gordon also looked at Az.

“.”

The village chief's face darkened, and he slapped Az on the back of the neck and scolded, "Bastard boy! Didn't I tell you that I had to tell them the precautions of the water war first?! ”

Aziz grinned and rubbed the red back of his neck, "Uh, didn't you just say that." ”

"What did you do with so much time last afternoon and evening?!"

Xianglan said with an innocent face: "First I pretended to be a ghost and scared Sister Ai Xia to cry, and then in order to coax Sister Ai Xia, I told a story all night. ”

Seeing that the village chief's eyebrows were about to stand up again, Azi grabbed Gordon's wrists, turned and ran.

"Take them to try out the respirator mask first!"

Gordon and Hayatta were dragged to the dock by Az, who first threw Pandan into the sea with one kick, and then said to the pork chop:

"Little pandan is Ailu from the desert, you have to take it with you to familiarize yourself with the water, and make delicious fish for you at night."

"Meow!"

The pork chop happily jumped into the sea, dragged the struggling pandan, and went headlong, and a string of bubbles rose on the surface of the water.

Hayata: "."

Azi turned around, handed Hayatta a breathing mask as well, and then said to the two of them, "Put the respirator on your mouth first." ”

Hayatta and Gordon looked at each other and complied.

It felt a little strange to breathe on a respirator, and Gordon asked with a sigh of relief, "And then?" ”

Azi grinned and bared a mouthful of large white teeth, grabbed the wrists of the two of them again, and leaped forward with force.

"Then it's time to jump into the ocean!"

(Some work in the evening, today two more orz.)
