Chapter 179 Opportunity for further study
After arriving at Nagulli Village, the three of them chose to rest for a day.
There are also some supplies that need to be purchased, such as food and a lot of cold drinks.
Gordon also took the time to go to the water beast girl and the Tulong village chief for a drink. Of course, he didn't dare to drink more. He would go deep into the volcano tomorrow, and a hangover wouldn't do.
The next day, Gordon and his party, fully armed and prepared, boarded a small train transporting ore and left Nagulli Village towards the depths of the volcano.
On the small train, Anxier, who was severely motion sick, vomited as expected.
Julius was speechless and a little worried.
Although this is just a collection mission, the probability of a real battle is not small. Looking at Ancier's miserable appearance that he is about to vomit bile, it is difficult not to doubt his subsequent state.
"Don't worry, it's just that the young master's intestines and stomach can't withstand the bumps." Gordon chuckled, "Let him vomit, he will be fine in a few minutes after getting off the car."
Anhil gave him a trembling middle finger gesture.
A few hours later, the minecart arrived at the camp at the far end of the track.
Gordon and Julius climbed out of the car, while Ancier climbed out.
But as Gordon said, in just a few minutes, Ancil became lively again.
I even had the strength to run to compete with Gordon, but was ruthlessly suppressed by the latter who was much stronger in physical fitness.
"You guys have really changed a lot." Julius was half amused when he looked at Ancil, who was completely different from the cold and proud lone heavy crossbowman in his impression. Half emotion.
Anhill, who struggled to free himself from Gordon's joint fixation, straightened his hair and tightened his face, trying to restore his character.
Unfortunately it is too late.
Julius, who withdrew his smile, continued: "The fight ends here. If you go forward, you will enter the area where monsters are infested. Please be careful.
I will clear the way, Anxi. I'm on guard in the middle, and Gordon's team is behind, no problem."
"No problem." Gordon immediately put on a serious expression.
Anhir: ".Okay."
Hold it to the point of internal injury.
When you really step into the hunting ground.
Ancil immediately returned to the calm, cautious and unsmiling state that Julius remembered.
The heavy crossbow is slung across the body in the most convenient position for deployment, and can enter the attack posture at any time.
Gordon also became silent, put down his helmet and visor, and silently watched for all movements in the direction behind the team.
The change in attitude between the two satisfied Julius, who served as the temporary captain.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of fool who still laughs and fights when he walks into the monster's lair. If that were the case, he would rather act alone.
Because the gunpowder rock as the collection target is located relatively deep in the volcano.
After leaving the small mine cart, the three of them walked for nearly a whole day before finally arriving at the camp at the hunting ground where the target was located.
After storing part of the ammunition in the storage box, Anhir checked the supply box again.
The supplies provided by the guild for free are not many, but they are very useful consumables, such as recovery medicine, carrying food, cold drinks, etc.
The purpose is to prevent some careless hunters from quitting the mission and starting over again just to carry a few pieces of food, even if they forget to bring supplies.
Gordon also walked over and took a look into the blue box. "There is really no iron pickaxe provided. This is the first time I have heard that there are minerals that cannot be dug with iron pickaxes."
Julius took the "Holy Saber" that he had carried for a day from his back and placed it on the weapon rack in the camp, then explained unhurriedly:
"According to Master, gunpowder rock may not be a naturally formed mineral, because the place where gunpowder rock was first discovered was not a mineral vein, but a monster's lair."
"So, instead of hammering with a pickaxe, Plane by hand?”
“Well, no. Partly because it is unnecessary, the other reason is that gunpowder rock is extremely unstable and will cause violent explosions when subjected to a certain impact.
This property is similar to that of gunpowder, which is why the gunpowder rock is named after it. Come." Julius continued to explain.
“Furthermore, the temperature of gunpowder rocks is very high, and holding it with bare hands can easily cause low-temperature burns, so.”
Gordon looked helplessly at his fire-resistant fire dragon suit, "So, I am the one responsible for carrying the gunpowder rocks, right."
Julius smiled and nodded.
Anhil also gloated and said: "Looking at your body shape, you can tell that you are responsible for the physical work. Three gunpowder rocks, just run back and forth three times, hey."
Ge Den held his chin, "How big is the gunpowder rock and how much does it weigh?"
Julius thought for a while and replied: "The ellipse with a long axis of about 30 centimeters is smaller than a fire dragon egg and weighs 20 kilograms. About.”
"Then it shouldn't be a problem for me to hold two at a time. The remaining one can be held by Ancier. This way we can solve the problem in one trip and greatly reduce the risk of encountering monsters."
After hearing this, Ancier said dissatisfied. : "Hey, I'm a shooter, and physical fitness is not my strong point."
After thinking carefully for a moment, Julius said: "If this is the case, I can carry the remaining one, Ancier concentrates." Just be vigilant. < br>
However, I still prefer a two-person alert. The ecological level here is not low. In addition to the Explosive Hammer Dragon, there are also many giant bees and lava beasts. It is inevitable that one person will be negligent. ”
Gordon, who said this half-jokingly, nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll be responsible for moving it alone. If I move it twice, that's four pieces. This way, the craftsman can have more leeway when doing research."
A smile appeared in Julius's eyes, "Of course that's the best. The settlement price of the gunpowder rock is 3000z per piece. I think the master will be happy to pay for it."
Gordon waved his hand, "No need. Originally, I made this trip to repay your master's favor, and it was just a matter of convenience for me to carry one more."
Julius chuckled softly, "As master said, you are a very thoughtful person."
Gordon glanced at him helplessly, "I think it would be better to say 'understands the ways of the world' Some."
"Don't worry, Master's saying that you are thoughtful is not a negative comment." Julius leaned against the tent.
"I originally planned to tell you about this after the mission is over, but now, haha, I want to let you know in advance, which will make you more motivated."
Gordon raised his eyebrows, " How to say it?”
“The day before departure, Master told me, ‘It’s not worth a favor to say a few soft words to a crying little girl. ', since you are willing to take the initiative to help, he will not be stingy with a little time."
Anhil also came over, "Master, what you mean by this is that you are willing to spend time to give us guidance?"
"It's to give instructions to Gordon, you are a shooter, a completely different system, what is the master giving you instructions for?" Julius said angrily.
Anhill didn't care either. He and Gordon were regular partners. If Gordon could improve, it would only be good for him.
Hearing what Julius said, Gordon felt a little embarrassed. It was not a common opportunity to get guidance from a famous master.
"So does the master master also dabble in big swords?"
"All masters are proficient in melee weapons, and the new weapons such as shields, axes, and axes are no exception, because he is one of the participants in the research and development."
"Then" Gordon said expectantly Hands.
"It's just like you thought." Julius smiled brightly, "Master said he would teach you strong and true storage." Ps. Just be a master and master and know how to use a big sword. After all, you are a "master". The protagonist has delayed it for so long, it’s time to learn how to save money
