One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

The food in the two nearby villages is not very good, otherwise where did he get his cooking skills? It must have been forced out of him. He used to be a foodie who only knew how to eat, but now his cooking skills are comparable to those of a chef.

The food at the abandoned shrine is better than that in the village. When you are hungry, you can go to the plains below to kill the maru birds and raccoons, cut some meat, and go back to the camp to pick some fresh vegetables you grow. Cooking your own food is better than eating dumplings in the village.

After listening to Phyllis's complaints, Link not only knew where she came from, but also her purpose.

This elegant hunter Phyllis is a lone hunter from the ancient Dragon Calendar Institute, a huge organization that runs parallel to the Hunter's Guild, and has a close cooperative relationship with the Hunter's Guild.

The Dragon History Institute, whose full name is the Dragon History Research Institute, gathers together all the top scholars in this land, and its status is somewhat similar to the National Academy of Sciences in Link's previous life.

Unlike the Hunter's Guild, whose guild buildings are spread all over the continent, the Dragon Calendar Institute usually uses the huge airship Dragon Identification Ship as a transit station, constantly hovering over the entire continent, investigating the ecological environment in various places, and recording various new monsters that have not been discovered.

The Hunter's Guild's monster encyclopedia was also compiled by them and sold publicly.

Their headquarters is said to be located near the sparsely populated Yiqunling Mountains, a lost site of ancient civilization that is very suitable for archaeological research by these scholars.

As for the reason why this beautiful hunter came to Yanhuo Village.

It is said that it was made to make a protective gear called the Shell Set for hunting Kappa Frog and Kamaitachi Dragon King.

'six. ’

Link was silent for a while and could only shout "6" in his heart.

As mentioned before, the hunter profession is very diverse. Phyllis's purpose of becoming a hunter is to collect all kinds of good-looking protective gear. She is a hunter who pursues beautiful equipment.

As for the shell suit she is going to make now, it is a cool swimsuit full of summer style and is also a frequent guest in Hunter Fashion Magazine.

Some female hunters in coastal areas like to wear this kind of cool protective gear when hunting sea dragon monsters on the hot seashore.

"What a coincidence, Miss Phyllis. When I went fishing before, I just happened to meet a Kappa Frog. I also know where the sickle-weasel dragon king's tribe is. Do you need my help to lead the way?"

After eating and drinking, it is time to get down to business. The life of a hunter is so plain and simple: eating, sleeping and hunting.

No color.

At most I can pet the cat and hug the Pooh pig.

Link did not mention that he had witnessed the territorial dispute between the Kamaitachi Dragon King and the Blue Bear Beast. It was only when he returned to the camp that he remembered that he had forgotten about Milu, the accompanying cat from the guild.

He clearly said he was going fishing, but he almost caught a chance without making any noise and completed the task directly without putting in any effort the whole time. It was too ugly to be considered a good assessment result.

Assessment records are also difficult to write.

So I just lied and said I went fishing, and as for why I came back empty-handed.

Isn't it normal for a fisherman to fail?

It was a pity for the cat Milu. She worked in the terraced fields above the camp for half a day. The fireball nightshade that went with the barbecue was picked by her in the fields.

Not only that, as a diligent cat, she also helps Link fertilize, water and remove pests from the crops in the fields, and she is almost becoming Link's good wife.

It's so touching that he is willing to work hard and endure hardships.

"Really? Thank you so much. I've accepted a mission from the guild to defeat the Kamaitachi Dragon King. Is it on the way? I hope it won't delay your hunting mission."

Phyllis was a little surprised to hear that Link wanted to lead the way for her, but then she thanked him.

Although she is also an experienced hunter with great skills in tracking monsters, having a local as a guide can save a lot of time. Before Link came back, she had talked with Milu, the Felynx cat, and knew that Link was here to complete a promotion mission.

"No, it's on the way."

Link's request to travel with him was not on a whim, but because he wanted to see how Phyllis, a three-star hunter, hunted.

In the past few years, Link had seen other hunters hunting, but those who could come to hunt outside the Abandoned Shrine were all rookie hunters, and naturally they were not masters.

He had seen many times the greatsword user who was charging his strength but was pushed away by a wild boar, and the katana warrior who was hit in the face by a bear's paw.

There was even a spearman who was almost swallowed by the Kappa frog.

If Link hadn't thrown a flash bomb, the spear hunter would have probably become farm fertilizer.

The hunting methods of those novices really don't have much reference value. This time, he finally met a three-star hunter, so he naturally had to observe from the side.

"Okay, let's go now."

Phyllis is also a person of action. She goes wherever she wants. As a lone ranger, she doesn't bring any luggage, nor does she bring any cats or dogs. She only has a shoulder bag slung across her back and a weapon on her back.

Link packed up simply and did not ride the Matsutake this time. Instead, he walked in front with a heavy crossbow on his back to lead the way.

The cat Milu looked at the leftover dishes and chopsticks, and hesitated for a while between washing the dishes and her task. Finally, she remembered that she was a hunting cat, not a housework cat. She quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks and caught up with the two people who were leaving.

"Wait for me, meow."

-

The group walked upstream along the current. Link led a few people in the direction where they had encountered the kappa frog before. The kappa frog was one of Phyllis's mission targets. Since it was on the way, he planned to take Phyllis to see it first.

But unfortunately, when they arrived at their destination, they only saw a few biting fish basking in the sun leisurely.

In shallow water, the dorsal fin of the biting fish emerges from the water, like a shark in the sea.

"I encountered the Kappa Frog here before. As a three-star monster, it has almost no natural enemies outside the shrine. This is where it often takes a nap. It seems that it left when we were eating."

Link stood on the sandy ground by the water, the summer sun shining through the sparse clouds onto his face, leaving mottled shadows.

Upon hearing this, Phyllis took a few steps closer, squatted down and observed the area around the sand for a while.

Her fingers gently moved the sand, as if looking for something.

The sunlight shone on her jade-like fingers, sparkling with a soft luster.

She lowered her head and observed every grain of sand carefully.

"here."

Phyllis suddenly said softly.

She just wiped her hand on a slightly raised piece of sand, and a piece of irregular green crystal appeared in front of them, shining with alluring light in the sun.

There was a hint of surprise in Link's eyes. He didn't expect that Phyllis could find the items left by the Kappa Frog in such a short time.

He walked forward, took the green crystal, and looked at it carefully for a while.

"This is a beautiful jizidama, a kind of stone in the body of the kappa frog. The kappa frog sometimes spits this thing out after eating."

"Is it valuable?"

Phyllis asked. This was her first time in Yanhuo Village. She was not very familiar with the monsters around Yanhuo Village, and she was not sure what price the materials of such monsters could be sold for.

"This jigokudama is similar to pearls. The smoother and rounder it is, the more valuable it is. Kappa frogs like to swallow the mud and sand at the bottom of the river to help grind the food in their stomachs.

Sometimes it swallows up ore that is difficult to consume, and this kind of buttocks jade is formed. Looking at the bumps all over it, it is obviously spit out before it is properly processed, so it is not worth much. "

Link shrugged and said, playing with the green crystal in his hand for a while, then handed the clumsy ass jade to Phyllis.

"Is that so? Then you keep it."

Phyllis didn't answer. After hearing that it was worthless, she lost interest. Besides, the jizz ball didn't look good and had no collection value. Instead, it would be a burden to carry it with her.

Link didn't hesitate to stuff the things into his backpack. It didn't matter who he gave these worthless little things to when the hunters distributed the spoils.
