0004 Alternative Hunter Squad
Li Ming raised his binoculars and observed for a moment, and in the shadow of the earthy yellow peaks, he quickly found the location of the hunter team.
This is a team of three hunters.
One of the most striking is the sturdy man standing shirtless in the scorching sun, his hands repeatedly lifting up the heavy metal shield.
Judging from the length of the shield that is more than half a person's height, Li Ming speculated that this should be a heavy shield used with a hunting weapon, a spear or a gun.
Since the shield was still a jet-gray metal, and there was no sign of any monster material fusion, he speculated that the quality should not be too high.
Drink ~ Drink ~ Drink ...
The man's shouting when he exerted his strength was extremely rich.
Beads of sweat on plump muscles that shine like spars.
The resolute eyes, accompanied by the heavy shield push, flashed with scorching brilliance, as if there was a flame beating in the pupils, giving people a feeling of vitality.
The yellow and white Ailu cat on the side swayed and flapped its paws rhythmically, as if it was beating the strong man's push.
"Hmm... Let's call you Brother Tie first. ”
Li Ming shifted his gaze and focused on the second member.
This is a skinny boy sitting in the deepest part of the shadows.
He was dressed in a suit of light black leather armor that could easily be overlooked if he wasn't well observed.
The short-bladed hilts that extended from behind the shoulders on both sides, Li Ming judged that this was a hunter with dual knives.
The young man stared at the sand in front of him with empty eyes, and there was a gloomy temperament on his pale face.
The black hunting cat beside him kept looking around, looking very vigilant.
"Brother Leng Mian's size, can he also be a hunter?"
Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised.
If it is said to conform to the inherent impression of hunters, the tall figure and muscular body of the hot-blooded iron brother are undoubtedly the ideal template.
And the thin and short cold-faced boy is completely out of the scope of understanding.
He was wearing a double sword... Could it be that the choice of hunting weapons in the real world is related to the autologous type?
Li Ming suddenly thought of a possibility.
The reason for this is also very understandable, you can't expect a skinny boy about the height of a heavy shield to practice the use of a spear to the extreme.
You can't ask a giant man with strong muscles, just by changing his weapon to a double knife, he can have a flexible body and dodge and move under the heavy attack of monsters.
The body size restricts the use of unsuitable weapons, but also gives a great advantage to suitable weapons.
What weapons do I fit into?
Li Ming, who thought that he was well-proportioned and balanced, thought for a moment but did not come to a result.
Next, the eyes focused on the third member.
It was a middle-aged man, with his back against the dusky rock wall, his stray and dry silver hair pressed behind him, his head tilted to the sky, his eyes closed and his mouth half open.
Yes, he's sleeping, the kind that smells good.
There was also an old fat cat with orange fur next to him, who was also asleep.
One person and one cat even sleep in the same position, it seems that they are a pair of old partners who have worked together for many years.
Not far away, a long, rough-textured bone broad-bladed knife lay across the sand.
Li Ming hadn't seen what kind of weapon it was, until the bone shield with blades on both sides came into view.
A broad-edged long knife with a shield with blades on both sides... That's a shield axe!
Although the overall appearance is no different from that in the game, Li Ming is still quite shocking.
The reason is that the previous spears and double knives have similar prototypes in reality.
As a shield axe that can be combined and transformed, it is a completely unreasonable fantasy weapon, but due to the high difficulty of getting started, many players are dissuaded.
After observing the state of the three members, Li Ming analyzed it in his heart.
Judging from the hunting objectives and the equipment of the members, this hunter team is obviously not among the top ranks.
In the game, it can only be regarded as in the stage of land development.
But in reality, there is no such thing as land reclamation.
Just like the middle-aged uncle, if he retires in a few years, his career as a hunter may be locked in the current stage forever.
At the end of the observation, Li Ming felt that he had gained a lot.
A lot of vague impressions of hunters have gradually become plump and clear.
It's just that there is one thing he can't figure out about this hunter team.
Hot-blooded iron brother, cold-faced brother, decadent middle-aged man.
Three members, three painting styles.
It's puzzling that they can come together to form a team of hunters.
Puff~Puff~...
The sound of cat's paws stomping on the sand came from behind him.
"Eller says that if the hunter team continues to march, please be sure to let Meow know immediately."
Mi Duoduo said, crawling beside Li Ming.
"Okay."
"Uh... Would you like to tell another story, okay? ”
Midodo turned his head to the side and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, this time I'll tell you a story with a sense of substitution, the story is called Sheriff Black Cat."
"Sheriff Black Cat Meow!"
Midodo's ears were pricked up, and stars twinkled in his eyes.
"Anyway, this black cat sheriff... Why don't you seem to be happy? ”
Li Ming saw the excitement in Mi Duoduo's eyes, which was quickly replaced by sadness, so he asked curiously.
"It's a little sad to think you're leaving."
"It's hard to say yet, but even if you do leave, there is a chance to meet again."
"Really, meow?"
"Of course, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will contract the entire tribe and make me a full-time cat car."
"Uh... It doesn't seem very auspicious to say this. ”
"It's okay, I'm hard."
Li Ming said confidently.
Half an hour later, the hot-blooded iron brother unfolded the map, and after a careful observation, he woke up the middle-aged decadent man.
Seeing this, Brother Leng Mian quietly got up and started to march on his own.
Inform Eyler of the situation, and the ambulance team cooperated and pushed the four-wheeled flatbed to follow up.
If the surge in food can finally stabilize within an acceptable range, it is also a good choice to continue to stay in the Meilu cat tribe, but unfortunately these are not beyond Li Ming's control.
After the hunter team hit the road, Li Ming found an unusual place again.
Brother Hot-Blooded Iron and Brother Leng Mian both carried only their own hunting weapons to march.
The decadent middle-aged man at the end of the line was carrying a huge bag wrapped in a tarpaulin.
Although his gait was still light, his complexion was as usual, and he showed no signs of exhaustion.
But as a hunter squad, it is obviously not reasonable to distribute the weight in this way.
"Eyler, isn't this hunter team a little strange based on your experience?"
Li Ming asked Eller on the cat cart.
"It's a bit of a meow, the average hunting team has four members, and in order to avoid excessive overdraft of physical strength when traveling, the materials carried will not be overly concentrated on one member."
Eyler put down his binoculars and gave the same insight as Li Ming.
"Sure enough."
"Find a suitable opportunity to get in touch with Meow, as long as you can get the hunting contract in the guild and escort you to the sandstone cave stronghold safely, it shouldn't be a problem."
Eller gives advice.
"I'll try to try... Do you think they have a good chance of hunting success? ”
In addition to being able to escort himself to the stronghold, Li Ming actually had the idea of rubbing the skill ball.
After all, there is currently no evidence that you have to kill the monster yourself before you can definitely burst the skill ball.
"It shouldn't be too much, the field investigator in charge of the liaison mission introduced that the hunter team received emergency contracts, mostly in order to try to promote the hunter star, this kind of extremely challenging contract, the achievement may be very limited."
Eller sighed.
"Star... The earth sand dragon seems to be a three-star monster, so to speak, this is a team of two-star hunters. ”
Li Ming was stunned.
The only contract that can be received beyond the hunter's own star level in the monster hunt is the emergency contract, which is also a necessary assessment condition for advancing to the star level.
According to the strength of the monsters that Li Ming is currently feeling, the two-star hunter team is enough to hunt two-star monsters.
"Wait, if the hunt fails, won't the tribe get a penny?"
Li Ming asked worriedly.
If you succeed in a single rescue, you can take one-third of the total honorarium, which is indeed very tempting.
But if the hunt fails, the team won't be paid at all, let alone paid for the rescue.
"If it fails, the guild will pay a guarantee for meow, but the amount is relatively small."
Eyler explained.
"In this way, I didn't expect the guild to have a fairly sound guarantee mechanism in this regard."
Li Ming said with some surprise.
"Maybe without our help, the guild will be troubled."
Eller speculated.
