Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter Chapter 310

Chapter 310 The Novice Hunter of Pokai Village

Gordon, who was fully armed and had a thick cold-proof cloak over his armor, pushed open the door.

The thick snow outside the door is the main reason for the difficulty in opening the door.

The first heavy snowfall after winter in the Frasia area, it fell for two days and two nights, and it just saw the sunshine.

The calf-deep snow near the village is already the result of the weakening of the hot springs. A little farther away, the snow thickness is more than half a meter, and in the mountain depressions where the wind and snow are concentrated, it may be close to one meter.

"Yo! Nice weather, huh, huh?"

On the roof of a house, an uncle in a thick snow mountain suit put down the shovel for shoveling snow, and greeted Gordon with his waist.

Gordon Pork Chop waved in response.

It was only then that they realized that the entire Bokai Village had completely "woke up".

The more difficult the conditions are, the more diligent the residents are.

Before the sky was bright, every household went out of the house to clean up the snow on the roof, in front of the door, and on the village road.

The roof of the wooden structure covered with straw to keep warm is not strong. If it is not cleaned in time, the thick snow may even crush the house.

If the village road is not cleared, everyone's activities will be restricted.

Therefore, it has become a habit for adults and children to go to battle after the heavy snow to clear the snow immediately.

Gordon met Hayata near the entrance of the village.

She is helping the village chief's mother-in-law to build a bonfire. Her mother-in-law is too old and refuses to stay in the house. It will always be more comfortable to warm up.

"It's Gordon, I'm going to trouble you again today." The village chief's mother-in-law bowed slightly and took out a task receipt.

Gordon took the receipt and glanced at it.

is the most common gathering task for hunting raw meat, one-star difficulty, nothing special.

It stands to reason that such a task can be completed by just finding a novice hunter.

But right now, there are no hunters in Bokai Village, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Hunters from other places will not choose to come here during this season, and the village chief can only ask them.

"It's okay, I eat and live here for free, and I should make some effort."

Gordon smiled and put away the mission receipt, "It just happens that the sun is out today, so there should be mammoths coming out for activities, and we will bring back a lot of meat."

"Huumu~."

"Is mother-in-law happy today?"

After lighting the fire, Hayata sat next to the village chief's mother-in-law and asked with a smile, "Is there something good going to happen?"

"Huhu, can you see it?"

The mother-in-law of the village chief poked the fire with her cane.

She laughed and said: "A few days ago, I received news from the guild that a young hunter would be assigned to stay here in Pokai Village, and he seemed to be only seventeen years old.

Although he is a novice, he is said to be a very energetic little guy. "

"Has the guild finally sent someone over?" Hayata asked in surprise.

Before there were resident hunters in Bokai Village, but later they got old and had old injuries, so they had no choice but to retire.

During the year she was in Pokai Village, she also played a role similar to that of a resident hunter.

In the past few months after she left, relying on the help of traveling hunters and sending mission orders to big cities, she was able to barely maintain it.

But after all, it is not a long-term solution.

It is a great thing for Pokai Village to welcome a resident hunter right now.

Only Gordon grinned invisibly.

They all came from that age, "very energetic" may not be a good word for a seventeen-year-old boy...

"Okay! Let's work hard to get meat today, and let's hold a banquet for the newcomers who are about to come!" Hayata seemed full of energy.

Gordon heard the words, and he no longer thought about what was there.

He adjusted the big sword on his back, "Bring enough hot drinks, let's set off!"

The snow on the mountain is very deep, even if you install special snow shoe covers on the greaves, it is still very inconvenient to walk.

One foot is deep and the other is shallow.

After several hours of searching and selection, Gordon and Hayatta finally selected an old mammoth with a leg injury as the target.

The meat of such an old mammoth will be rough and hard, but the residents of the snow mountain don't care about this, and it is also delicious when simmered slowly.

With a simple sword strike, the target was dealt with neatly, and the old mammoth died without much pain.

And the real hard work starts now.

The speed of peeling raw meat must be fast. The weather is cold, and the corpse will be frozen hard in a short time, which is very troublesome to handle.

While the body was still steaming, the hunter and Elle worked together, quickly cut off a large piece of meat, threw it on the sled for transportation, and piled it into a hill.

A full-grown mammoth weighs several tons. Even if the skin, bones and internal organs are removed, the pure meat alone must have at least two or three tons. It is impossible for them to take all of them away no matter what.

Specially pick out tender parts such as leg meat, tenderloin, fat, etc., and pile up the sled so high that it can hardly be pulled, leaving more than half of it.

They are not greedy either, so leave these to the nearby carnivores. Hunting is difficult in winter, and not a single bone will be wasted.

Finally, Hayata cut off the mammoth's huge tongue completely and placed it on top of the pile of meat.

She smiled and said: "This is the most delicious part, don't forget it."

"Yes, yes, you are the best at eating!" Gordon teased, pulled the sled rope with Hayata, and started to rush back.

Pig Chop ran forward for a while and was in charge of guarding, while Pan Lan stayed beside Hayata, pretending to help pull the rope and stealthily fish.

Although the collection task is a bit tiring, the process is also very flat, and there is no thrill of hunting large monsters at all.

But this feeling of returning home with a rewarding experience is also solid and joyful.

"Hayata, are you fat, do you like the stew in Pokai Village so much?"

"No! Pandan is getting fat!"

"I'm not even fat!"

The two of them and the cat were chatting and laughing, and the pig chop who was on the alert suddenly ran back.

"I seem to hear the sound of fighting meow."

Gordon's expression suddenly became serious, "Pork chop, Panlan, you guys are guarding the sled, Hayata and I went over to have a look."

"I also want to go to meow!"

"Don't mess with meow willfully!" The pork chop hit Pandan's head again.

There was no time for the two little guys who were huddling together, Gordon and Hayata quickly walked in the direction pointed by the pork chop.

After advancing several hundred meters and bypassing a section of cliff, Gordon and the others finally discovered the source of the fighting noise.

It was a young man in a snow mountain suit, wielding a bone dagger and fighting fiercely with several snow lions.

The young man's movements were open and closed, and he seemed to be quite courageous. He was obviously on the inferior side, but he kept attacking.

The snow lion seemed to be intimidated by his aura, and kept backing away. One of them had already been beheaded, and the other two didn't seem to pose much threat.

Reassuring, Gordon and Hayatta looked at each other.

It seems that this screaming, hot-blooded young man who keeps attacking is the novice hunter that the village chief's mother-in-law said was sent by the guild.

"Really, very energetic." Gordon couldn't help laughing.

Hayata, who is also a sword user, also raised the corners of his mouth, "The bone sword [Spike Fang], the Tai sword that needs the material of the King of Velociraptor, a seventeen-year-old two-star hunter, should be pretty good."
