Chapter 214 The Old Village Chief's Request
The essence of insect breeding, bait for cultivating the growth of hunting insects, and an essential prop for insect-handling hunters to feed hunting insects on a daily basis.
A good hunting insect must have its future growth path planned from its infancy, and it must be provided with specific bait every day. Only over the years can it be cultivated and transformed into a qualified hunting insect.
It's super troublesome.
Some insect stick hunters are too lazy to raise them themselves, so they buy adult insects from stores as companions.
But...
Those who know about this kind of purchased hunting insects know that it is too common and has basically no growth potential. It can't even bite open the shells of higher-level monsters, let alone other things.
Therefore, many bug-stick hunters are stuck at the lower four-star level and find it difficult to advance.
Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about the Soran that Link knew. His hunting insect was the one he cultivated himself, the shiny rhinoceros beetle.
This hunting insect can eat the flesh and blood of monsters, transform it into special scale powder, and spread it on humans to bestow all kinds of blessings. It is very magical.
"One meatball stamp gives you one bottle of growth bait, meow. Two meatball stamps give you one bottle of insect breeding essence, meow."
The stall owner was an indigo cat with a scarf around his neck and a grey cloth coat. When he saw the customers, he immediately greeted them.
The colorful bottles on the stalls are certainly not for viewing.
The red one is the insect breeding essence, the pink one is the strength growth bait, the orange one is the weight growth bait, and the white one is the speed.
Others include growth baits with attributes such as fire, water, thunder, ice dragon, etc.
The attributes of the hunting insects will be increased by the bait they eat. It's simple, right?
Although it looks simple, hunting insect cultivation is not that easy.
Strength can increase the bite force of the hunting insect and destroy the monster's defense.
Weight can increase the size of the hunting insect and enhance the power of the insect cannon.
Speed can increase the flying speed of the hunting insect and improve its maneuverability.
Each one is indispensable.
Among them, speed is particularly important.
After all, insect hunters are not humans. Facing the attacks of monsters, they are no different from big mosquitoes flying on the roadside. If they are hit, years of hard work will be wasted.
This is also one of the reasons why there are so few insect stick hunters.
The investment is huge, the risk is high, but what about the return?
Probably just happiness.
Thinking of Soran, Link couldn't help but smile.
He didn't buy the Insect Breeding Essence for his own use, he just wanted to expand his backpack.
This kind of item is not only loved by insect hunters, but also by insect monsters. It can be used as bait to attract monsters.
Buy a few bottles and put them in your backpack, you never know when you might need them.
"Give me five bottles. I don't have the meatball seal, but I can use the wood sky polygonum instead."
The paw seal is the currency used within the Felynx Clan, so Link naturally doesn't have one.
But he has better alternatives.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can take these ten bottles of insect breeding essence."
Taking a small cloth bag handed over by Link, the stall owner weighed it in his hand, sniffed it with his nose, and after confirming that it was Polygonum multiflorum, he picked up ten bottles of insect-raising essence from the stall, put them in a small sack and handed it to Link.
The quantity of this insect-raising essence is not large, a bottle is only as thick as a thumb, and is packed in a small glass bottle that looks like a test tube. Ten bottles don't make much.
After buying the things, Link continued to walk around with Chuchu. The stalls here sold a lot of different things.
There are those who sell falling sun grass, seven-color dandelions, seeds of super strength, and dragon bones...
"Clang clang clang."
After walking around for a while, a loud bell sounded from not far away.
The cats setting up stalls and strolling around on the street packed up their things and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
The banquet began.
Link followed the cats to an empty square.
In the center of the square is a large iron pot placed on a bonfire. The bonfire is burning underneath, and a large pot of delicious broth is stewing in the pot.
The White Cat Village Chief stood on a wooden platform and gave a speech.
"After everyone worked together, we defeated Zhan Long..."
Link didn't listen carefully. The village chief's speech style was similar to that of the school leaders. He talked a lot and made him drowsy.
But the cats who had never seen the world cheered enthusiastically as if they were given an injection of chicken blood, following the village chief's final words "Let's eat".
One by one, they stood in front of the big iron pot in an orderly manner, just like the students queuing in the school cafeteria.
Link brought Chuchu and followed suit to line up in the cats' team.
In a team full of short Felynx, he, a tall human, stood out like a college student in a kindergarten line.
It made him feel a little weird and embarrassed.
There were several Felynx in charge of serving meals, and soon it was Link's turn.
"It's Hunter, meow. Welcome, welcome. Please eat more. If it's not enough, come back for more, meow."
The aunt Cat who served the food was very enthusiastic. Her hands didn't shake at all as she served Link a large bowl of broth, enough to sell enough ramen in a certain state for a year.
If the school in the previous life had served students food in this amount, it would probably have gone bankrupt in the second semester.
"Thank you."
After thanking Aunt Cat for serving him food, Link took the bowl and found a corner without cats with Chuchu. He sat on a wooden stool, looked at the lively scene in front of him, picked up the bowl and took a sip of hot soup.
The dragon-slaying broth made by the Felynx was delicious. Link hadn't eaten this kind of rural big-pot meal for a long time.
Not only is it delicious, but it's also filling and filling, with generous portions, and it tastes like the big pot meals you'd find at a construction site.
Because he was a guest, Link felt embarrassed to eat too much and only drank two large bowls.
[Ding, eat the dragon-slaying meat, Constitution +5, Strength +12]
Zhanlong is indeed a power-type player, all his attributes are focused on physique and strength, and agility is not increased at all.
But it's true, given that Zhanlong is the same size as Tyrannosaurus, it would be too difficult to expect it to run fast.
It's harder than asking a Rockthief to lose weight.
After dinner, the White Cat Village Chief found Link and entrusted him with a task.
"What! Let me lure a rock-piercing demon frog!!!"
After hearing the old village chief's request, Link's voice involuntarily rose by 20 decibels.
"Haha, don't get excited, don't get excited. I just asked you to help lead the Rock Piercing Frog from its nest into the trap. It's very simple."
The old village chief stroked his beard and spoke to comfort Link.
After Link's surprise, his emotions calmed down.
Rock Piercing Ghost Frog, the second monster of the Ghost Frog, although it is the second monster, its strength is not very strong.
The ecological niche of the ghost frog is not high, and even the strength of the second-rank monster is very limited.
It is only slightly stronger than the Fire Dragon and can be classified as a high-five-star, but not a six-star level.
"Our tribe has been suffering from the Rock Piercing Frog for a long time. We even sent a hunting commission to the guild, but the hunter who came last time was not strong enough and was seriously injured. He was carried back. Since then, no one has come. As a last resort, we can only find a way ourselves."
The cat village chief said this and sighed heavily.
"Um, is the cat in the car?"
Link held his chin and muttered to himself.
The fact that it was able to repel the hunters who came to subdue it shows how difficult this Rock Piercing Demon Frog is. Hunters who can subdue two monsters are usually the elites of the guild, and their strength is definitely stronger than normal five-star hunters.
Since even such an elite hunter has failed, other hunters in the guild will certainly not embarrass themselves and come here to seek death.
"Can you tell me what traps you have prepared?"
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's favor should be soft-hearted. There is no free lunch in the world.
Having just eaten someone's food, Link naturally felt embarrassed to refuse the other party's request and could only nod and accept the commission.
But before leaving, he still needed to understand the situation.
"Haha, in order to deal with the Rock Piercing Demon Frog, I specially spent a lot of money to buy two explosive bombs for dragons. You just need to lure it into the trap, and leave the rest to us."
The white cat stroked its whiskers and smiled, as if to say, "Just don't worry, I've taken care of everything for you."
