kvmb Chapter 223: Relic Ridge
Chapter 223: Relic Ridge
Link didn't know that after he left, the instructor from Longli Academy wanted to have a good chat with him.
After leaving Longliyuan, he first took the cable car down the mountain back to Berna Village, found the blacksmith in the village, and bought two iron swords.
Then take out the ghost frog materials obtained previously and give them to the blacksmith, asking them to help strengthen them.
The reason why iron swords and bone blades are called "novice weapons" is not only because they are extremely suitable for newcomers who have just stepped into the ranks of hunters, but also because they help them quickly get started and master basic combat skills.
The deeper reason is that these weapons are highly inclusive and can be expanded to derive a variety of weapons.
Based on iron swords and using different monster materials, craftsmen can create dozens of types of greatswords.
[Sea Dragon Sword][Water Dragon Sword][Light Feather Sword·Holy Cleric][Tactical Sword][Secret Chopping Knife]......
The monster materials used to make these greatswords are also different, ranging from the weak Leaping Dog Dragon King to the powerful Fire Dragon and Swift Dragon.
No matter what level of hunter, they can use the iron sword to strengthen it into a weapon of their choice.
Link put the shield axe back into his room in the Hunter's Guild, and carrying his newly bought greatsword, he went to the lobby on the first floor of the guild, ready to take a two-star mission to practice the use of [Beast Soul Possession·Lion].
For hunters, actual combat is the best way to train.
There are two hunting grounds near Berna Village. One is the Ruins Plain that Link has visited before, and the other is the Ruins Ridge, which is located south of the village, deep in the mountains and rarely visited by people.
Link has a general understanding of the ecological environment of the Ruins Plain. The monsters living there are mostly hyperactive guys like beetles and strange monkey foxes. They are not good choices as training subjects.
So he chose Yiqunling as his target.
Among the two-star monsters, there are two types that are suitable as training targets.
They are the Giant Wild Boar King and the Blue Bear Beast.
"Hiss, come to think of it, I haven't eaten the meat of the Blue Bear Beast yet."
Link pinched his chin, looked down at the order in his hand, and suddenly had an idea.
Compared to the huge wild boar king that rushes around and digs all over the ground, the slow-moving blue bear beast is particularly suitable as a target for practicing hunting skills.
"Okay, that's it."
Link did not hesitate and decided to treat the Blue Bear Beast as the ingredient for his next meal. He accepted the commission to go to the Ruined Ridge to hunt the Blue Bear Beast.
【The Damned Honey Thief】
[Mission star rating: ★★]
[Task Nature: Ordinary]
[Mission location: Outskirts of the Ruined Ridge]
[Mission Objective: Hunting Blue Bear Beast]
[Limited time: 4 days]
[Reward: 5000]
[Client: Beekeeper in Berna Village]
[Task description: I finally harvested the best honey and was going to transport it to Jiangbo at the seaside to sell it for a good price. When I was resting at night, I encountered a blue bear beast. It stole my precious honey. Please go hunt it.]
"It was very kind of it not to steal you away, otherwise you wouldn't be able to send out commissions right now."
Link rolled his eyes and complained in his mind.
The residents of this world always encounter various monsters in strange situations, and then run back to the village, take out a large sum of money and entrust hunters to hunt them for revenge.
Sometimes the effort you put in is not even proportional to the reward you get, it’s just a simple way to vent your anger.
Link still remembers the first Blue Bear commission he accepted.
An air force guy paid a reward of 4800 and commissioned a hunter to go hunting just because the blue bear beast ate all the fish at his fishing spot.
This money is enough to buy 12 spring night carp.
I don't know what he's trying to do.
Even if you kill the Blue Bear Beast, can you catch fish?
After receiving the commission, Link went out alone.
He went there to practice hunting skills this time, so he didn't bring Chuchu with him.
Chuchu had the money that Link gave her, so she didn't have to worry about her food.
The Relic Ridge is not far from Berna Village. Link made use of the trees in the mountains, the protruding rocks in various places, as well as the grappling hook and the Kinsect in his hand.
By climbing walls and pulling to the limit, he quickly shuttled through the lush forests like Tarzan.
He had a lot of fun and laughed like Sauron.
Half a day later, around the afternoon, Link entered the location of the Ruined Ridge.
Yiqunling, also known as the Uninhabited Mountain, is sparsely populated, with an extremely high altitude and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, like a mysterious fairyland.
The air here is fresh and thin. Fortunately, the hunters are strong and don't suffer from altitude sickness.
The first time Link set foot on this strange land, what shocked him most was undoubtedly the peak that reached the sky.
It stands majestically among the mountains, and its peak almost blends into the blue sky.
It is shrouded in dark clouds all year round and isolated from the world. The dark clouds swirl and roll on the top of the mountain, and from time to time, a few silver flashes of lightning can be seen, telling of the danger there.
The peak is surrounded by steep and rugged rocks, like a pillar of heaven where Rayquaza rests, rejecting exploration by all outsiders.
"I heard that it used to be the home of the ancient dragon, the Sky Comet Dragon, but I don't know if it's true."
Link's neck was sore from looking up, and he couldn't see the view at the top of the mountain.
This pillar-like peak is comparable to Sun Wukong's Dinghai Shenzhen, and is surrounded by vertical cliffs. It is a pipe dream to climb this peak comparable to Mount Everest.
Even the airship of Longli Academy cannot fly to such a high altitude.
But Link didn't come here to climb the mountain, and the Blue Bear Beast wasn't on the mountain. It wasn't a cultivator, so there was no point in climbing so high, and it might even be struck by lightning.
In addition to Tianzhu Peak, the scenery below the Yiqun Ridge is also extremely spectacular. A hundred-meter-high ancient tree stands in front of Link, and its thick and developed root system is entangled with a large number of ruins and buildings. Trees and stones, living and dead objects are entangled with each other and cannot be distinguished from each other.
I don't know who molested whom.
The top of the ancient tree is a great bird's-eye view point. Link didn't play many games in his previous life, one of which was Assassin's Creed, a very old game.
You just need to find a vantage point to scan the map and discover the mission target.
Similar to what Link was doing at this time, he used the grappling hook and the Kinsect to quickly climb to the top of the ancient tree.
And here, several monsters are sleeping.
"It's a night bird."
Link looked at the blue-purple night birds sleeping in their nests in broad daylight, and slowed down his movements and steps.
He was very glad that he came hunting during the day, otherwise he would not be in a good mood if these night birds surrounded him.
Link moved around the treetops quietly, and looking from above, he soon spotted a blue bear beast, and not far in front of it was a gigantic wild boar king.
"...I don't know why, but every time I encounter a Blue Bear Beast, it's fighting other monsters. Is this some kind of racial tradition?"
Looking at the Blue Bear Beast being knocked away by the Big Wild Boar King, Link couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Having found the target, it was natural to take action. Link did not disturb the night birds' rest. He swiftly descended from the treetops, found the right direction, moved his legs, and ran towards where the Blue Bear Beast and the Wild Boar King were.
When Link arrived at the small flat area where the two were, the battle had already been decided.
Blue Bearmon lost.
The big wild boar king, with a pair of huge teeth, ran wildly on all fours and stabbed the green bear beast hard on its butt, causing the fool to feel so much pain that it fled in embarrassment.
At this time, the thick green hair on the blue bear beast's body was in a mess, and many places were stained with blood, making it look very miserable.
The big wild boar king was ruthless. Facing the blue bear beast with its back turned towards him, there was no emotion in his tiny pig eyes. He dug the ground with his strong right hind leg and continued to charge at the blue bear beast.
One of them knocked the blue bear beast down the hillside.
The blue bear rolled on the ground. It had thick skin and no one knew how many times it had been hit. It got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, ignored the wild boar king, and continued to run away.
He doesn't have any of the courage that a young blue bear beast should have.
Seeing this, the big wild boar king probably lost interest in facing such a spineless person. He snorted twice, blew out two streams of heavy air from his nostrils, and turned his head to look at a hunter who was running towards him.
"Uh, it's coming at me."
Seeing the wild boar king staring at him with its eyes and its hooves digging at the ground, Link quietly grasped the hilt of the sword behind him with his right hand.
"It's just a big wild boar king. Big wild boars reproduce very quickly. It shouldn't be a problem for me to kill one when I pass by."
Link muttered something in a low voice and drew out the iron sword on his back. The blade reflected a sharp arc of light in the sunlight.
