0050 Challenge
Eating, training, and sleeping became the theme of life for the ruthless squad in the Fortress of Farifolia.
Half a month passed.
Chu Ying mastered the state and shooting of the machine-sniper dragon bullet, a special package of ammunition.
There is also the displacement of the insect skill in the state of raising the gun, and the iron worm wire can be arbitrary.
Li Ming continued to improve the proficiency of his existing moves, ensuring that he could increase his strength by eating.
Miduoduo and Bubu bought a honey worm at the fish and insect shop and kept it in a cage.
Herbs are fed every day, so that the honey worms bulge out of their stomachs, and constantly accumulate honey with super healing juice for emergency treatment during hunting.
"I live in this tun in my hometown, and I am a native of this tun."
Early in the morning, Li Ming, who was humming a song, opened the door of the guild's cold room.
"Where's my Roshan?"
Li Ming rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and found that in addition to some small monster corpses with frost, there were only two pieces of raw meat left.
"Well, it looks like I'm gone."
Li Ming, who accepted the reality, picked up the frozen raw meat and returned to his residence.
In the evening, the team plans to meet at the barbecue restaurant to have dinner and discuss their next move.
On the moonlit street, the middle-aged male owner of the barbecue restaurant was sitting on the bench in front of the restaurant sighing melancholy.
"It's you. You're finally here! Meimei! Zhizhi! Come out and welcome you! β
Smack! As the boss clapped his hands and shouted.
Two Ailu ran out of the store.
One dances, the other scatters flowers.
"Great patron! Long time no see! β
"Great patron! I miss meow so much! β
"Am I a strategic partner of a barbecue restaurant?"
Li Ming, who was chattering in his mouth, was invited into a single room in the store surrounded by two cats.
After a short time, Chu Ying and Bubu took their seats.
After eating and drinking, the team decided that in order to save money and test the results of training, it is better to go hunting as soon as possible.
Day, Guild Hall.
When Shui Yun finished watering the bulletin board and posted the contract for the day to update, a large number of hunters surrounded him.
Li Ming, who was loaded with [stable lower plate], stood still with his arms crossed, completely unafraid of crowding.
Noting down the contract for the squad, he returned to the round table.
"Fight against snow rabbits, help the gatherers fight against beetles and flying beetles, collect oysters for restaurants, escort caravans, and assist the scrivener team in ecological surveys in the wild. That's pretty much what they are. β
"The team has always been hunting-oriented, and the crusade of the Snow Haremon is very suitable for the team, but the monsters that can hunt and eat in the outer areas of the Frozen Islands have almost fled, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover in such a short time."
Chu Ying speculated.
"Then let's ask Shui Yun to recommend it."
After Li Ming finished proposing, the team came to the counter.
"I haven't seen Li Ming for a long time, you've lost weight."
Shui Yun greeted and said.
"Yes, as long as the training volume increases, you will definitely be able to lose weight, I want to inquire if there is a contract suitable for the team, it is better not to collect escorts and the like."
"Wait a minute. Well. β
Seeing that Shui Yun, whose gaze was on the contract, frowned slightly, Li Ming asked curiously, "Is this contract tricky?" β
"Yes, the target was only involved in an anomalous migration report yesterday, and today it has been released as a hunting target for an emergency compact."
Shui Yun informed.
"If you have a two-star emergency contract, the team won't be involved."
Li Ming expressed his attitude.
"It's a three-star emergency contract.,The contract name is the sheep library that strayed into the shrine.γ
"The target is the Great Monster Bird?"
"Yes, although it has only been confirmed by sightings recently, this strange bird is extremely unsuitable for the ecology of the abandoned shrine area, and will not only hunt insects and ghost firebirds, but also destroy the breeding point of the large insects."
"It seems that the big monster bird wants to forcibly integrate into the local ecology, but there is no suitable location for it here, so it can only mess around."
Li Ming speculated.
Monsters live on ecology.
Monsters that are powerful enough to change the environment and even shape the ecology independently.
The big monster bird obviously does not have this ability, and in order to survive, it can only try to force it indiscriminately until it tries a survival mode that suits itself.
This kind of extremely reluctant integration would have been done by simply keeping an eye on the observations.
In the end, they will either be terminated by the Earth Monsters, or they will migrate elsewhere.
However, it must be eradicated as soon as possible, unless it is aimed at the guild's field facilities and the ghost firebirds that are beneficial to hunters.
"Is the Ruthless Squad interested?"
Shui Yun asked.
"Of course there is"
After Li Ming finished speaking, he looked back at the surroundings and asked in a low voice, "But there are so many hunter teams waiting for the assessment, can the team get the contract?" β
"Of course, not only can you get it, but it's also the first choice."
Shui Yun said with certainty.
"Why?"
Seeing that the other party said so firmly, Li Ming was a little unconfident.
"Due to the very active performance of the ruthless squad, the branch has long asked for your hunting files, about a week ago, the files were transported from the headquarters to the fortress, the Yellow Speed Dragon King, the Blue Bear Beast, the Great Boar King, the Sickle Dragon King, and the recent Sleeping Dog Dragon King, the team's contract completion rate is 100%, and it has never missed, which is the preferred execution target of the emergency contract."
Shui Yun explained.
That's right, it's also a two-star hunter, if you succeed twice in ten hunts, it's unlikely that you will be considered the first choice by the guild.
Li Ming was stunned.
"But the Hunter Squad only has two Hunters, can this be the first choice?"
"Everything is still based on files, your past performance is very dazzling, you have the first choice conditions, of course, if the team is unwilling to accept the recommendation, the branch will also be handed over to other teams to pick up, please don't have a psychological burden."
"Do you have a squad member's recommendation? It's the kind of middle-aged two-star male hunter who looks raunchy and has an old Ailu. β
Li Ming gestured with both hands.
"Your qualifications are so clear."
Shui Yun didn't know why.
"For example, the uncle who said that he was going to come to the promotion evaluation or something, and he specialized in helping the team with logistics. Auntie can do it too. β
Li Ming continued to hint.
"I'm sorry, the branch doesn't have similar hunters to recruit and register, in fact, with the files of the ruthless squad, no matter which branch it is, it is difficult to recommend suitable members."
"Okay, I'll go talk to my teammates and I'll get back to you soon."
"yes, okay."
Li Ming returned to the round table and explained the matter of the emergency contract.
"I heard that the big monster bird has a strong explosive impact, flapping its wings with wind pressure, and it can also spit out fireballs, and most importantly, it has a good flying ability, because the attack method is similar to the widely distributed fire dragon family, and it is also known as the hunter mentor, I always feel that the difficulty is a little high."
Chu Ying thought about it.
"But it's a rare opportunity."
Bubu advised.
Emergency contracts are not always encountered by hunters.
The ruthless squad is very confident in the three-star assessment.
If you take advantage of the preferred recommendation to complete the hunting of the big monster bird, then it is almost a sure thing to be promoted to a three-star hunter in the short term.
"I'd like to take it too, but. . . Li Ming, what do you think of Li Ming? β
Chu Ying, who hesitated, looked at Li Ming, but found that the other party was watching the middle-aged male hunter at the next table.
"You said that the senior who carried the hammer wore the two-star hunter badge, is it possible that it is fake?"
Facing Li Ming's inquiry, Chu Ying's eyes sank and she sighed helplessly.
"Five-star hunters are actually rare, and it is impossible to have such good luck to meet someone similar to Wood's predecessors."
"Four-star is okay, the decadent temperament, and the elderly Ailu next to him, the more I look at it, the more it looks like it. There was money to pay for the meal, well, disillusioned. β
"Actually, you have a good idea of finding someone to join the team, but it has to be more practical."
Chu Ying reminded.
"But the emergency contract waits for no one. Forget it, I don't think about it so much, I want to be brave enough to try it, what about your opinions? β
Li Ming felt that he would give it a try, so he no longer hesitated.
"Okay!"
"We approve of Meow!"
Midobu said in unison.
"Shui Yun, the ruthless team agrees to take the contract!"
"Okay, I'll handle it for the team right away."
The contract with the red mark, after being stamped with a seal, was sent to Li Ming.
γSheep Kuku who strayed into the shrineγβ β β (Emergency Contract)
Location: Outer area of the abandoned shrine
Contract Target: The Great Monster Bird
Client: Hunter's Guild Fari Fortress Branch
Mission Description: The Great Monster Bird is causing chaos in the abandoned shrine area, a large number of ghost firebirds have been driven away, and the Great Xiang Insect Breeding Point set up by the guild is being continuously destroyed, please be sure to eradicate it.
Gratuity: 4880+790z (subsidy)
Time limit: 7 days
Note: This contract is an emergency contract, if it cannot be reached due to confirmation, please give up as soon as possible, return to the guild as soon as possible, and inform the collected information in time.
"Since it's a three-star mission, I suggest that the team hire a cat ambulance team, but for every successful first aid, the other party will take one-third of the gratuity."
Shui Yun proposed.
"Then let's have an ambulance team."
"Okay, the junction location has been marked on the map, if no abnormality occurs, when the team visits, the cat ambulance team should have received the contract and waited at the junction point in advance."
After Shui Yun finished speaking, she handed out the map with markers.
"I see that the recording team is the first time to hire a cat ambulance team, do you need me to explain further on the details of the cooperation between the two sides?"
Shui Yun glanced at the team's files, wanting to give guidance.
"No, I'm familiar with the process."
"Well, I hope the team can return safely soon."
The contract time limit is only seven days, and the team doesn't want to waste even a second more.
Pick up the supplies, buy supplies, and go straight to the road.
Due to the tight schedule, the team discussed the battle plan as they marched.
"For monsters with flying ability, the restriction effect of rattan net traps is extremely poor, is it still the safest place to place paralysis traps and buy thunder light worms?"
Li Ming, who was running, asked.
"I bought it, I also bought the Ming bag and the material jade, but it's a little expensive."
Chu Ying said with some distress.
"The activity area has not yet been established, so we can only hurry up and make deployments."
After Li Ming finished speaking, he switched the fog ball [Long Distance Running] burst out by Marutori, saving his physical strength with a strange running posture.
This is the second time the team has hunted in the area of the abandoned shrine, and they are somewhat familiar with the route of travel, so it stands to reason that they will travel faster than the last time.
However, as you go deeper, more and more damaged breeding points of large insects are destroyed, resulting in many terrains that cannot complete the rapid leap.
I ran all the way until late at night before I arrived at a suitable camping spot.
Under the moonlight, Li Ming, who was on duty at night, came to sit down by the fire.
I opened the second volume of the Harmony Book, flipped through it for a moment, picked up a gray leather bag, and blew the mouthpiece.
When it is the size of a pomegranate, the bulbous no longer grows larger.
Li Ming stretched the mouthpiece, tied a dead knot, and stuffed it into the jade with a ring of needles on the inner wall.
"Is this a sonic boom?"
Midodo asked from the sidelines.
"Yes, as long as this switch is pressed, the needle prick will be detached from the inner wall, and as long as the sonic boom moves at high speed, the inflatable song bag will squeeze to one side of the inner wall, which will be detonated by the needle puncture, making a strong popping sound."
Li Ming explained, holding a sonic boom.
"This is very useful for the big monster bird, meow, right?"
Midodo asked.
"The big monster bird has a large fan-shaped cochlea, and its hearing is extremely keen, as long as it is not in an extremely angry state, it can cause a strong impact with just one shot."
"It's good to have a way to restrict, because it's a three-star monster, so I've been a little worried on the road."
Midodo sighed.
"By the way, Mi Duoduo, judging from the experience of your ambulance team members, what are the chances of the two-person team hunting three-star monsters?"
Li Ming asked.
"Uh, do you want to tell the truth, meow?"
Midodo asked tentatively.
"Of course."
"Every time I encounter a three-star emergency mission in the sandbara, several nearby tribes are not very willing to take the meow, and everyone is afraid of a complete failure."
"A complete failure. That is, all four of them were seriously injured, and they could only recuperate in the camp, and they could not hunt?"
"It's going to be worse, like a hunter or an ambulance team member dies."
"Yes, the cat car rescue may not be successful every time, rest assured, I will not let that happen."
Li Ming assured.
"Have you found a way to win, Meow?"
Midodo's eyes lit up.
"No, but if it's really dangerous, it's not a big problem to cover everyone's retreat."
Li Ming said confidently.
Due to the lack of sleep time, Li Ming decided to fill it with sleep quality, so he sprayed himself with some sleeping venom.
When I was woken up, the sky was bright and I was full of energy.
Chu Ying was a little haggard in comparison.
After the team rushed to the junction site, not far from the mountain, more than a dozen cat heads poked out from behind the rock wall.
The leader, Ai Lu, waved the cat's paw flag, and when he saw Li Ming nodding in confirmation, he ran and rushed over.
The cat's paw is pressed on the contract, the location of the camp is confirmed, and the connection with the ambulance team is completed.
"When you accept the rescue, remember to let go of the weapon meow, which is more conducive to the transportation of the flatbed truck, and after the weapon and other monsters leave, there will be Ailu who will specifically recycle it, so you don't have to worry about losing it."
Leader Eru reminded.
"There's a meow."
Li Ming thanked him.
"I wish the team a smooth hunt, we will always follow you."
The leader, Elu, ran back to the hill, and all the cats who were watching around retracted.
Because he didn't know the combat deployment of the hunter team, he also had to avoid monsters and hide his whereabouts.
In addition to emergency aid, both sides will deliberately reduce contact to a minimum during the hunt to ensure that they will not adversely affect each other.
