  Chapter 18 Urgent Mission

  The two coldest months of the year are over.

  The cold wind is still cold, but the sun is shining on the body, and there is already a warm feeling.

  The snow with a thickness of more than half a meter melted slowly, melted into the soil, and flowed into the river, filling the dormant earth with the water necessary for rekindling its vitality.

  Carefully opened the door of the wooden house, and shoveled away the snow that had turned into fine ice particles at the door.

  Like all the villagers, Gordon, who had been bored at home for dozens of days, walked out of the door, bathed in the long-lost sunshine, and stretched his long waist.

  Compared with the boy who hunted the big wild boar king with difficulty half a year ago, Gordon is now "bigger" to the naked eye.

  Running among the hunting grounds in full armor, wielding a fierce steel blade weighing tens of kilograms for hunting, is a kind of extremely high-intensity exercise.

  In addition, as a hunter, it is naturally impossible for him to lack meat, and his muscles and bones naturally grow as if blown.

Today, he is nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, with broad shoulders, broad chest, and bulging muscles. Standing there, he looks like a wall. If it weren't for his still slightly immature face, who would have guessed that this guy would be a few months away. Just come of age?

   Not to mention him, even the pork chop has become a lot stronger.

  Of course, it is not enough to look like a devilish muscular man like Gordon, but he is no longer bowing his head and shrugging his shoulders like when he first came to Cocot Village.

   casually threw a solid iron bar leaning against the door into the hands of the pig pickle, and then picked up his own huge stone pier from the ground. The corners of Gordon's eyes were slightly curved, and he was in a good mood:

   "Pig chop, yesterday I swung the iron bar 500 times, and today I saw the sun after a long time, so why should I get closer? Is there a problem with the goal of 600 times?"

".Meow meow meow?"

   The pork chop that catches the iron rod in a hurry can't figure it out. What is the relationship between seeing the sun and improving physical fitness?

  However, if it is only increased a hundred times, there should be no problem, right?

   "Ok meow! Today is six hundred meows!"

  Just as the people in the nearby villages ended the winter and went out of their homes one after another to start production activities, Xiulet Senqiu gradually began to regain its vitality.

  Snakes and insects drilled out of the ground, and wild boars left the warm tree holes and began to wander in the forest, trying to find a little bit of delicious shiitake mushrooms that were spawned by the melted snow, so as to relieve the hunger that lasted throughout the winter.

  In the blue velociraptor's lair deep in the dense forest, the scales are still sticky with greasy egg whites, and the little blue velociraptors that have just hatched are chirping, urging their parents to hunt them for meat to satisfy their hunger.

  A gray swift shadow flashed across the sky above Senqiu.

   It was a brown-gray peregrine falcon.

   This specially trained bird of prey accurately found the small village named "Kokete" on this land still covered with snow.

   After whistling and circling several times, it landed in front of the window of the village chief's house.

  The old village chief opened the window, Peregrine Falcon looked at him with his head tilted, jumped a few times, and entered the house.

   "It's a peregrine falcon, it's a peregrine falcon."

  The village chief closed the window with a grunt, and the peregrine falcon raised a paw very humanely, revealing the small metal pipe tied to it.

   A small emblem is engraved on the metal tube, which is the logo of the Hunter's Guild.

  The village head froze slightly.

   Covered by long white eyebrows, the always squinting eyes slightly opened a crack, revealing the clear pupils underneath that don't look like old people.

   "A dispatch from the Hunter's Guild?"

  The village chief's long eyebrows twitched twice. At this time, how can he still have the usual dementia and confusion?

   "Chirp~"

  The peregrine falcon let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and raised its paw bound with metal pipes again, as if urging the village chief to receive the letter quickly.

  It travels day and night to deliver letters, and doesn't even care about eating. Now it just wants to send the message quickly, and then hunt a field mouse and hare nearby, so that it can have a good meal.

   "Sorry sorry."

  The village chief skillfully removed the metal tube from the peregrine's leg, unscrewed the cap, and pulled out a small roll of parchment.

"Huh? So that's the case, it's really a bit troublesome." Opening the scroll and browsing through it quickly, the village head whispered to himself: "But it may be a good opportunity for him, um, I'll leave it to him Bar."

   Peregrine continued to look at him with his head tilted.

   "Alright, thank you little guy."

  The village head tied the empty metal pipe back to the peregrine falcon's leg, and fed it two pieces of jerky, "Go back quickly, be careful on the road."

   "Chirp~" The peregrine falcon seemed to understand the words of the village chief, and let out a long chirp happily. It flapped its wings and took off into the sky, before disappearing into the slightly gray sky in the blink of an eye.

   "Five hundred and fifty nine, five hundred and sixty! Meow!"

   "Oh, oh, pork chop, there are only forty strokes left, come on! It's almost there!"

   "Five hundred and sixty. One meow!!"

  On the open space in the small courtyard at the entrance, Gordon and Pig Chop were sweating profusely until a familiar loud voice came from outside the courtyard.

   "Gordon! Pork Chop! Hey, very energetic!"

  Gordon put down the stone pier with a little difficulty, looked at the person who came, and greeted with a smile: "Morning instructor!"

   "Okay, early, okay, don't say those polite words, I have something urgent to call you, how is the status of you and the pork chop? Can you start hunting immediately?"

  The instructor waved his hand, and his tone suddenly became serious.

   "Hunting? Now?" Gordon was startled, "Didn't the first full moon just pass this year? It's still half a month before the ban on hunting is lifted?"

   "It's an urgent task!" The instructor waved the parchment in his hand, "A two-star rating, the hunting target, the Blue Speed ​​Dragon King, are you sure? Don't hold on if you're not sure, just leave it to me"

   "Two-star emergency mission?!"

  Gordon interrupted the instructor's words excitedly, and confirmed: "The target is the blue velociraptor king? I'm sure! Of course I'm sure! Thank you instructor, you can leave it to me with confidence!"

   Of course he was excited.

  Generally, there are two ways to increase the hunter level.

  One is to do tasks step by step until you have accumulated enough, apply to the Hunters Guild, and accept a hunting task that is one star higher than yourself. If you successfully complete it, you will be able to ascend to the star smoothly.

  The second is to accept urgent tasks. Due to the urgency of the situation, the Hunter Guild will appropriately lower the threshold for accepting such tasks.

  Following the normal steps and maintaining the previous mission completion frequency, it will take about half a year before he can take the initiative to apply for a two-star mission.

   Now, this urgent task directly saved him half a year of time! As long as it is successfully completed, you can be directly promoted to a two-star hunter!

  In terms of strength, Gordon believes that he has already reached the level where he can successfully hunt the blue speed dragon king, which is the level of a two-star hunter.

   All he lacked was opportunity.

  Different from those large towns with concentrated resources, Kokot Village doesn’t even have an assembly hall office, so it’s too difficult to wait for a suitable emergency mission.

  I just have an opportunity right now, how can I let it go?

  The instructor suddenly laughed.

  Of course he knew how Gordon would choose, and he also knew that the strength of the latter, the mere blue speed dragon king, was not enough to pose a threat.

   In terms of the danger of monsters, the blue speed dragon king is almost the same as the big wild boar king. This guy is wearing a hunter suit and can hunt the big wild boar king with a hunter's knife.

   Now that you have the Explosive Knife and the Blue Velociraptor set, what should the Blue Velociraptor King have to worry about?

   "Then leave it to you."

  Instructor Ernest handed the urgent task documents to Gordon.

   "Time is running out, let's go as soon as possible!"
