Chapter 81 The target is the big strange bird!
Gordon also liked Yamos's gift, which was a pair of portable telescopes.
"Observe and think. When hunting, you rely not only on your muscles, but also on your brain. Don't forget it." Yamos said with a smile as he watched Gordon hang the small telescope around his neck.
"I remember it, thank you, Senior Yamos, I like it very much!"
Pigpa gave me a bone flute that was only the size of a finger and had a shape very characteristic of Ai Lu, and played it When it rises, it emits a clear chirping sound that is indistinguishable from that of a tit.
After rubbing Pork Chop's little head vigorously, Gordon smiled happily and said, "You are very skillful with your hands! Pork Chop!"
Hayata's gift seemed inconspicuous, but it was a lace knitted by herself. The string, mixed with thin metal wire, is beautiful and strong, perfect for hanging exotic ancient coins.
This gift made Urshula's eyes turn red with envy. In her eyes, this was simply the most powerful transporting accessory!
"It's beautiful! Thank you Hayata!"
Gordon immediately replaced the animal tendon rope that was originally used to hang the exotic ancient coins, and then put on the re-threaded ancient coins. He held the coin in front of Hayata, looked at the latter expectantly, and said: "Help me get another buff, Hayata!"
"Buff?" Hayata's face was full of question marks.
“It’s similar to the buff state of a hunting flute, the kind that adds luck!”
“Why, how to get on?” Hayata also understood that Gordon was being superstitious. Activity.
"Sing a hymn? Do a prayer dance?" Urshula, who believed in this the most, couldn't help but come over and suggested: "Or blow a breath or something?"
The first two This plan was too difficult, so the last suggestion was to make it simple. With a blushing face, Hayata came to Gordon's hand, lifted her hair from her ears, and blew lightly on the ancient coins.
The palms of his hands were itchy, but Gordon didn't notice the charm. He just put the "lucky +1" ancient coin back on his chest with a silly smile, and patted it with satisfaction.
Oshula almost couldn't help but grab it with a sour look on his face.
After a long meal of eating and drinking, the birthday party finally entered the final stage, eating cake.
The huge cake that looks very delicious is said to be the result of the joint efforts of the two shop girls, Tiggy and Madge.
——The soft and tender cake base, smooth cream, and exquisite and beautiful decorations are all the work of "reliable senior" Madge, and "Lazy Vase" Tiggy is responsible for writing on the top of the cake A dog-like "Happy birthday to Gordon!".
Candles, make wishes, cut the cake.
With a burst of not so neat, but sincere and enthusiastic "Happy Birthday!"
Gordon is eighteen years old.
Suretsen Hill, southeastern hunting ground, hunter camp.
Gordon checked the carrying condition of the props and the sharpness of the "Giant Scissors" one last time, and then carefully tightened the straps of the "Refined Ore Set".
After confirming that he was fully prepared, he waved to Pork Chop, "It's time to go, Pork Chop, this time it's real!"
"Meow!"
The distance came to Mina Garde, it's been nearly a year.
During this year, Gordon spent at least 70 to 80% of his time either in the hunting grounds or on the way to and from the hunting grounds. He finally accumulated a sufficient number of two-star missions.
He has also teamed up with Oshula, Ted, and several other familiar hunters many times, such as the Peach Beast King, the famous Shield Crab, the Sleeping Bird, the Water Beast, the Beaver Beast, etc. A lot of three-star monsters were also successfully hunted.
In the eyes of those who are familiar with Gordon, the only difference between him and a real three-star hunter is the missing half star on the cover of the hunter's notebook.
This time, he finally applied for the promotion he had dreamed of.

Hunting Mission (Emergency Mission): Orange Shadow (★★★)
Quest Content: Hunting the Big Strange Bird
Reward: 8000z
Mission location: Xiuret Senqiu
Possible monsters: Blue Velociraptor, Big Wild Boar, Strange Face Tribe
Limited time: 7 days
Observer from Wang Li’s Paleontology Scribes Team: A restless big strange bird left its original territory and came to the southeastern foothills of Xiuretson Hill. Covered by its hunting range, passing pedestrians, caravans, and even villages, will be threatened.
Please hunt it before it causes more damage.

Due to the difficulty of hunting, Gordon chose to accept this task as a promotion task to become a three-star hunter. It was actually a very unwise decision.
In terms of combat power alone, the big strange bird belongs to the same level as large monsters such as the Daimyo Shield Crab. However, the former's excellent flying ability makes this kind of bird-dragon monster, known as the "teacher", extremely difficult to deal with. Go up several steps.
According to Miles, the easiest weapon to deal with the big strange bird is actually a light crossbow.
As long as you carry as many armor-piercing grenades as possible and shoot at the head, you can easily severely damage it. If the big strange bird happens to be taking off, you can even shoot it down directly, creating a huge vulnerability.
In comparison, swordsmen like Gordon are at a disadvantage.
The long and powerful legs make it difficult for the swordsmen’s weapons to reach the soft fleshy chest and abdomen of the big monster bird. The frequently waving wings not only create wind pressure that makes the hunters unstable, With a swing, you can easily repel approaching hunters.
Once they fly up, the swordsmen who have no long-range attack methods can only stare. It can be said that they are passive everywhere.
There are many reasons to avoid this task.
Gordon could wait a few more days, choose a three-star monster with hunting experience as a target, such as the Peach-haired Beast King, and then easily complete the promotion.
However, when he saw the words "Big Strange Bird" marked in the hunting target column, he still resolutely accepted the urgent mission document.
The reason is simple.
Promoting to a three-star hunter has never been his goal, not even a short-term goal.
What he wants is to become stronger.
So what if it can fly, what if it is among the most tricky among three-star monsters? Isn't it just a "little flying dragon"?
I have become much stronger than when I first came to Minagard last year. If I see "Teacher Yangkuku" being timid and worried about failing the promotion mission, then there is no need to talk about hunting "Sky" "King"?
“Our giant scissors are already hungry and thirsty!”
The sun is about to rise to the zenith, and the midday sunshine in late spring has already gained some power.
Beside the river beach, Gordon took a few sips of river water and washed his face. He suddenly felt much cooler. After filling the water bag, he hung it back on his waist. He stood up and looked at it carefully. Around.
Rainfall in recent weeks has been frequent and exaggerated. There is abundant water in the river, and the soil on the beach is very soft. A large number of small river crabs, snails and earthworms left soil bags all over the river beach, and the growth of aquatic plants and moss has also changed. Pretty good.
This is very valuable information.
Fish, shrimps, crabs, river snails and earthworms are all the birds’ favorite foods. When it is impossible to determine the target activity area, it is important to look for clues along the feeding places and water sources that the birds love. Not a bad choice.
“Pig Chop, let’s look carefully!”
The hunter and the cat searched along the river beach for a long time, but unfortunately there was no harvest. Perhaps because of the heavy rain last night, there were no fish on the river beach. What footprints are left worth noting.
A breeze blew.
Pork Chop, which was lying on the ground searching carefully, suddenly stood up. It sniffed and carefully identified the faint smell that was drifting in the wind.
“What did you find?”
“It’s the smell of rotting corpses, meow!”
“Let’s go and have a look!” (End of this chapter)
