Chapter 1 Wild boar or male fire dragon
It is shaded by trees, densely covered with streams, and incredibly fertile dark humus soil.
Rotten tree trunks covered with moss and lying scattered on the ground.
This is deep in the dense forest of the Xiuret area where even sunlight cannot penetrate.
There is no better place for mushrooms to grow than here.
On the moss that has soaked up last night's rain like a sponge, large areas of specialty mushrooms are layered on top of each other. The flesh-red canopy is soft and plump. There is no doubt about its delicious taste.
“Hmph.”
A vague humming sound came, and a figure squeezed out from the bushes in the forest.
This is a fat wild boar with a ridge height of more than one meter. Its brown-black fur is covered with half-dried mud, as if it is wearing a layer of armor.
The big wild boar grunted and came to the wooden pile covered with mushrooms. It sniffed twice with its long pointed nose, and then began to chew wantonly.
After a while, the large mushrooms that had just grown on the wooden pile were completely crushed.
“Tsk.”
In the shadow of the dense forest, a slight smacking sound was heard, but the big wild boar who was busy enjoying the food did not notice it.
“I was still thinking about collecting some specialty mushrooms and taking them back, but now I’ve completely ruined it.”
Behind a large tree covered with vines, a young man wearing light leather armor The hunter muttered silently.
"Forget it, after completing this assessment task, I will be an official hunter. There is no need to be angry over a few mushrooms." Gordon comforted himself in his heart.
He took a slow breath to completely calm down his emotions and breath.
“Check whether the surroundings are safe first.”
In the stream, there are shadows of the tree crowns, deep in the vines, the chirping of insects, and the smell brought by the wind.
Eye, both eyes Ears, nose, and even skin are carefully and efficiently collecting clues in the environment.
After a few seconds, Gordon confirmed that there were no other large creatures within at least tens of meters.
The hunt can begin.
Tightening the strap on the small shield on his right arm, he pulled out the bone-made hand sword named "Hunter's Knife" from the scabbard on the back of his waist and held it tightly in his palm.
The muscles all over his body were tense like a fully drawn bowstring, and the next second, he rushed out like a velociraptor.
“Humph?”
The big wild boar with mushroom bits hanging from the corner of its mouth raised its head warily, before its huge head could turn to the direction of the sound.
The attacker had already crossed the distance of nearly ten meters and rushed to its side.
He did not stop, nor did he draw the sword directly. Instead, he used the buckler, which could barely cover the vital points of the chest and abdomen, as an angle of attack, and hit the side of the big wild boar.
"Gah!"
Even the big wild boar, with its low and stable center of gravity, stumbled under the full force of the collision and was unable to fight back immediately.
But Gordon had already raised his shield and swung his knife, slashing the relatively soft lower back of the big boar meat firmly.
The blade of the hunter's knife, covered with fine teeth, successfully broke through the defenses of mud and fur.
The blood spattered, and the fat, muscles and tendons were cut open. The hind limbs of the big wild boar went limp and fell to the ground with a miserable howl.
The pig collision relying on the power of the hind legs is the only attack method of the big wild boar. Such a knife may not be directly fatal, but it destroys its hind limbs and completely eliminates the possibility of resistance.
The next scene is more cruel.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa follows by a shrill scream, the eyes of the big wild boar completely lost all life, leaving only a strong body, still twitching slightly like a nerve reflex.
Shaking off the blood on the blade, Gordon sheathed the knife.
He stood up and looked around vigilantly for a few times. After confirming that there was no danger, he squatted down again, pulled out his stripping knife and started to collect the carcass of the big wild boar.
Tens of seconds later, he selectively cut off a large piece of raw meat with good quality, and pulled out a half-meter-long fang.
As for the most valuable fur, since it had several knife marks, it couldn't be sold at a good price. It would be inconvenient to carry it around before the mission was over, so I had to give up.
Putting the raw meat and fangs into his luggage, Gordon went to the stream and quickly washed his blood-stained hands and knives, and then left in a hurry.
The smell of blood and corpses will soon attract predators like blue velociraptors. Staying here is asking for trouble.
Driving quickly, more than half an hour later, Gordon returned to the hunter's camp built surrounded by boulders.
It wasn't until he ducked through the narrow passage like a dog hole and saw the simple but sturdy yellow animal skin tent that the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
It was completely safe to return to camp.
Take the fangs and raw meat out of your luggage. The former is a settlement item that confirms the results of the crusade, and store them in the red storage box in the camp.
The latter is marinated with seasonings and prepared to be roasted and eaten in a while, which can also be regarded as a toothpasting ceremony.
After all, although the portable food provided by the Hunter Guild can quickly fill the stomach, the taste is really hard to compliment.
This portable food, made from a mixture of wheat flour and dried meat, tastes like wood soaked in salt water
In comparison, barbecued meat that is cooked until golden brown and sizzling with oil is so delicious.
Recalling the wonderful barbecue, Gordon swallowed hard, quickly set up the barbecue grill, and patiently grilled this piece of fresh raw meat that was still warm.
If you want to grill delicious barbecue that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, you don’t have to be impatient, and fire control is even more important.
While slowly turning the handle of the barbecue grill, the boy took out his thin hunter's notebook.
Turn to the latest page.
——
Assessment task: The annoying group of wild boars
Task content: Kill 5 large wild boars
Reward: 300z
Specified location: Xiu Lei Tesen Hill
Time limit: 3 days
The wild boar population in Shuratson Hills is multiplying abnormally and the number is growing too fast. Please be sure to reduce their number to avoid damaging the ecology of Shuratson Hills and affecting the surrounding human gathering areas!

Take out a charcoal pen and record a few strokes.
Including the one just now, he has hunted four large wild boars in the past two days. If he hunts one more, he can complete the mission and return to the village.
The most important thing is!
At that time, after passing the assessment task, you will finally be able to lose the prefix of "trainee" and officially become a monster hunter!
Two full years have passed since I officially started training as a hunter at the age of fifteen.
It's time to graduate.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gordon's mouth couldn't help but start to rise.
Giant wild boars, blue velociraptors, and Bobo (mammoth) monsters that he hunted not one hundred but seventy or eighty in the past two years were not worthy of being recorded in his hunter's notebook.
There are only real flying dragons like the Fire Dragon!
This is the glory that hunters yearn for!
A burning smell woke him up from his beautiful delusions.
Only then did Gordon realize that the meat was overcooked, and he hurriedly took the barbecue off the grill.
Fortunately, it was only burnt a little.
This little thing can't affect his good mood.
While biting into the hot barbecue with a slight burnt smell, the boy raised his head and looked at the sun still hanging high in the sky.
It was still early, at least three hours before sunset.
Speed up and devour the food. After a few minutes, he threw the clean bones aside. Gordon patted his bulging belly and stood up.
"Eat and drink enough, strike while the iron is hot! Finish the hunt before it gets dark!" The new author asks for support, just add it to favorites and let us know if anyone is interested in this subject~
