"Other weapons are negotiable, but the shield axe is a bit difficult."

The spine of the knife was embarrassed.

"Too expensive to build?"

"Yes."

"Okay then."

Li Ming was slightly lost.

"I'll give you a water attribute energy injector, so that it can be replaced."

"Thank you."

Li Mingxi smiled.

Three days later, the water-attribute shield axe made of kappa frog materials was completed.

The shield and hilt of this shield axe are embedded with a large amount of moss.

The energy storage sword is wet to the touch, and there is a certain sense of blockage when swinging, as if there is a flow of water surging in the sword body.

"Guest, because of the structure of water-attribute weapons, you must not use other attribute energizers, otherwise it will cause serious damage, and at the same time, you must store water regularly for maintenance, so that the weapon can be kept as wet as possible."

Artisan Ailu gives a reminder.

"That's a lot of restrictions."

In contrast, Li Ming felt that the fireworks shield axe was much simpler.

"Because the water type weapon is very special, it is a little troublesome to maintain."

Li Ming, who was curious about water-attribute weapons, slashed hard.

In the small holes on both sides of the blade, a small amount of pale white liquid soon seeped out.

Li Ming speculated that if it slashed the monster and formed a strong reverberation, the liquid that would overflow would definitely be more.

"I see, these liquids are injected into the monster's wound along with the blade slash, right?"

"Yes, meow, in the same way as sleep, poison, and paralysis."

"But this liquid doesn't look like water. This is? ”

Hearing the hissing and burning sound, Li Ming looked down.

The pale white liquid dripping from the blade touched the ground, and the soil layer quickly softened, revealing eroded holes.

"It is the water accumulated in the shield axe, plus the product of the fusion of the dissolving agent in the attribute energy injector, which we generally call the water attribute solvent, which can not only soften the monster carapace, but also easily extinguish the flames and absorb all kinds of dust."

Artisan Ai Lu introduced.

"The effect is comprehensive enough. Isn't it easy for the monster carapace scales to be softened and broken by the more injection points? ”

Li Ming speculated.

"That's right, meow, but most monster carapace scales are not corroded and softened by water-based solvents."

"That means it's extremely powerful against small branch monsters?"

"Yes, meow."

"Thank you."

Li Ming had never understood why water-attribute weapons could also form attribute restraint.

Now I understand that the "water" that comes with the slash is not water in the ordinary sense.

After completing the acceptance of the weapon, Li Ming paid for the construction of 10600Z.

The money in hand is not counted, but it is less than 5000z.

Well, there are no more expenses, and there is no cost to apply for the four-star hunter exam.

Two days later, Migugu and Brala towed a sedan van from Nuanyangyang Camp to East Doruma, known as the center of the world.

As the number one town in the world of Monster Hunting, Dondoruma was once known as a battle street that fended off the invasion of the Rusty Steel Dragon and the Halberd Dragon.

The two battles in the mountain walled city caused the old mountain dragon to change its route.

It's a pity that he still couldn't resist the attack of the Pavilion Mantis, which finally created the current strange situation of people and monsters coexisting in the same city.

Due to the relatively long distance, the team had to stop hunting and training from time to time.

It was not until fifteen days later that the convoy successfully arrived.

The tall and wide city walls amazed the team.

But as the distance continued to close, Li Ming soon noticed something unusual.

Facing the sea to the west, jumping out of the city wall, the bell tower and minaret don't look too unusual.

And to the east of the desert, although the buildings also jump above the city walls.

But if you look closely, you will find that they are all abandoned buildings that are twisted and twisted together with golden silk threads.

"That's the market city established by the Pavilion Mantis, located in Dongcheng District."

In the carriage, Chu Ying, who was also watching, informed.

"Did you know before you came?"

Li Ming asked with some surprise.

"My teacher lives here, and the enlightenment of hunters is also carried out here."

"The best resources for cultivating hunters here, you passed the one-star hunter assessment, didn't you think about coming back?"

Li Ming asked.

"Well, there is usually no contract to receive locally, and once there is, it is the kind of large-scale joint hunting that is a matter of survival, even if you receive the circulation contract, you have to go to the local part to obtain information, so the teacher thinks that it is better to directly wander outside the experience, and when you become a two-star hunter, you can return to Dongdoruma for the next stage of training."

"That's right, in the past, the first town was already intimidating to monsters, and now there is another pavilion mantis, and no monster is willing to approach. Say two-star hunter? ”

"Yes, the original plan was like this, and I didn't expect the promotion to be so fast."

"Then your teacher should be happy."

"I guess so."

Chu Ying agreed.

"Midodo, my family, meows in the famous chef team in the city!"

Bubu raised his head and hugged his arms, and said proudly.

"Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive."

"Then I'll have time to try the Bubu family's craftsmanship."

"No problem, meow."

The East City Gate has been listed as a forbidden area due to the occupation of the Pavilion Mantis.

The trucks followed the other trucks towards the coast and entered the city through the West City Gate in accordance with the road signs.

The streets are wide and intertwined with people.

A variety of storefronts, the team that watched was dazzled.

Or such a developed and rich city-state scene, which really surprised Li Ming and Mi Duoduo.

In front of a stone building with a tall red flag, the truck stopped.

Li Ming got out of the car and glanced up at the headquarters of the Hunter Guild, and then deposited the whole truck.

Not long after, Li Ming, who returned with thirty cats, asked curiously: "Why did the cats come with them?" ”

"No way, two pill birds plus three carriages, you have to charge 120z a day, everyone is not a hunting cat, if you foster it, you don't have to pay 20z a day, you can't afford it."

Li Ming said helplessly.

He also didn't think that the cost of living in Dondoruma would be so high.

"After the consultation, the team can go to my teacher's place for a while."

The hunter dormitory provided by the headquarters is not vacant all year round, and Chu Ying thought of the more expensive hotel fee, so she made a proposal.

"You won't bother him, will you?"

"No, no, the teacher loves to be visited."

After the two finished talking, they climbed the stairs together and walked into the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild.

The two hunters brought more than thirty Elomeru, and this encounter was rare even in East Doruma.

Seeing the equipment of the leading male hunter, everyone was even more shocked.

The armor combination that is scattered to the extreme is very impressive.

In terms of the layout of the reception counter, the headquarters lobby is not much different from other branches, except for the counter dedicated to receiving G-class contracts.

The G-level hunting targets are all individuals who have failed to hunt many times in the squad, or have been confirmed to be extremely good at fighting, if they can successfully defeat, will the types and star ratings of the fog balls burst out be different?

Li Ming's heart was full of doubts.

It's a pity that there is no place to explore this kind of information, so you can only explore it yourself.

"Two hunters, how can we help?"

The female receptionist asked warmly.

"We want to participate in the four-star hunter assessment, so we want to come and consult."

Chu Ying responded.

"It's really rare for two of you to be four stars at such a young age, let me see. The next public four-star hunter exam will be five days from now, at the headquarters training ground, and if you would like to register, please provide two three-star hunter badges, as well as a four-star hunting assessment. ”

The receptionist said.

Two people submit the required items.

"The registration is completed, and the assessment items are in the blending, weapon use, physical fitness test, and the use of the flying claw of the flying insects, and two items are selected as the advanced and ultimate assessment items, and all of them are passed to meet the standard."

"Ultimate. That is to say, you must have at least one ability, and you must reach the top of the assessment certification to become a four-star hunter. ”

Li Ming asked.

"That's right, there is a detailed assessment process in this booklet, if the two of you feel that the preparation is not enough, you can cancel the postponement, the gap between the four-star assessment of the headquarters is very short, only about half a month, and the two can sign up to participate at any time."

"Five days. We're fine. ”

"Then I wish the two of you can pass the assessment and become four-star hunters as soon as possible."

Out of the guild hall, Chu Ying led the team towards the east of the city.

The number of stores opening and the flow of people are gradually decreasing.

Li Ming didn't pay much attention to it at first, until he saw the city wall towering in the distance, and the abandoned buildings that emerged from behind the walls, wrapped in gold, that he felt that something was not right.

"The closer the city is to the house in Dongcheng District, the cheaper it will be, so the teacher buys a residence here in order to save the purchase cost."

Chu Ying said.

"Understood."

According to the price of East Doruma, it is definitely not cheap to buy a property in the core area.

In order to get a low price, you can only buy properties close to the market.

In front of the green two-story building built against the wall, the two stopped.

"Uh, isn't that the same as being a neighbor of the Pavilion Mantis?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"It's okay, except for the sometimes dragging sound, it's good to live here."

Chu Ying said how she felt.

Li Ming looked at the window on the first floor and saw that there were some monster puppets inside.

"Your teacher rented out the first floor?"

"No, these are the works of the teacher, and in addition to hunting, she is also a puppeteer."

"Did your teacher work as a puppeteer before he became a hunter?"

"I worked as a receptionist in Barbarre for a while, but then I realized that being a receptionist could not stop the decline of humanity, so I switched to becoming a hunter."

"She can't be called Sophia, right?"

"How do you know?"

Chu Ying covered her mouth in amazement.

"Five-star hunters, there will always be some deeds spread around."

"You've heard about her hunting dragons, too?"

Chu Ying asked cautiously.

"Not really, but why are you so nervous?"

"How can I say it, the teacher is about the same as you and the green bear beast for the broken dragon."

Chu Ying whispered.

"What's wrong with me and the Blue Bear?"

Li Ming looked puzzled.

"Well, I can't say it clearly, anyway, in front of her, it's best not to bring up the topic of broken dragons."

Chu Ying was about to knock on the door, and a woman carrying a sewing box appeared on the street corner.

The woman was in her thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, humming an unknown song, and looking very pleasant.

"Oh Chuying! Boob! ”

"Hello teacher!"

"We're back, meow!"

Chu Ying waved hello to Bubu.

The woman approached quickly, and after looking at Chu Ying for a while, her eyes locked on the three-star hunter badge on her chest.

Then he reached out and pinched Chu Ying, the joints of her body.

"It's really unexpected to be able to become a three-star hunter in a healthy way, who is this?"

"He's my partner, named Li Ming."

Chu Ying said.

"Hello, Sophia-sensei."

"Hello Li Ming, this armor is just a dress to show your personality."

Sophia asked.

"No, I wear it in actual combat."

"Is this all right? Let's go in first. ”

Sophia pulled out the key and opened the door to the first floor.

Li Ming walked in and found more monster dolls in the house, hanging on the wall.

"A few rooms on the second floor, you can choose at will, if the cats are not used to living, you can go to the cat house on the roof, but remember not to climb through the isolation wall, otherwise once you encounter danger, even if the dragon man will be present, you may not be able to rescue."

Sophia reminded.

As soon as Li Ming heard that the situation was so serious, he immediately found Miduo Ailer and explained that he must take care of everyone.

After that, he chose a room and put down the salute he had brought with him.

On the other side of the separation wall, there was a ruin built by the Pavilion Mantis, and Li Ming always felt a little uneasy.

Then load the [Super Sensory Hearing], open the fan-shaped collar, and start listening.

In the other room, Chu Ying asked curiously, "Teacher, what did you go to do just now?" ”

"I went to sew a long dress for a wealthy businessman's wife, and I made a small profit."

"No wonder you're in a good mood."

"You and Bubu suddenly returned, and you have become a three-star hunter, which is the root of my good mood, how long have you and Li Ming been partners?"

Sophia suddenly lowered her voice.

"If you pass the hunter assessment, you will act together."

"Are people reliable?"

"Of course, Li Ming is the most brave and intelligent hunter I have ever met, and if you ever see him hunting, you will be shocked."

"It doesn't look like it, but it shouldn't be easy to become a three-star hunter with a mix and match of equipment."

Sophia speculated.

"The bravest and wisest hunter."

Li Ming, who overheard it, turned up the corners of his mouth.

When I looked down, I noticed that Mi Duoduo was lying on the fan-shaped collar, listening intently.

"What are you doing Miduoduo?"

"I see you're listening so seriously, I want to hear meow too."

"I'm listening to the Pavilion Mantis."

"Ugh! Is that a terrible monster? ”

Midodo asked with some fear.

"That's right."

"Then listen to it yourself, meow, I'll go to the roof to take care of the cats."

Midodo said, jumped out of bed and ran out the door.

"Don't let everyone run around."

Li Ming reminded.

Until noon, except for a few sounds of beams and pillars mopping the floor, Li Ming did not hear any other sounds.

It seems that there is only a wall between humans and monsters, and Doruma is safer than I thought.

Li Ming still hasn't figured out why the pavilion mantis wants to coexist in such a way, but the disregard for human beings is indeed as rumored.
