Chapter 204: 2-star Shield Axe Hunter Appears
There is no need to say much about the scene on the mountainside and the top of the mountain. There are tribes of strange birds and dragons living there. The place where Link is now is an abandoned dragon's nest, and the ground is covered with skeletons that have been hunted by dragons.
It looks quite scary.
Link and Chuchu stayed on the top of the mountain for a while, observing the ecological environment here. After confirming that there were no particularly dangerous monsters, they turned back and went down the mountain.
"The big monster birds are almost done. Let's go down and take a look. And by the way, see if there are any monster birds laying eggs."
The breeding period of the giant monster birds is of course more than one or two days. They will mate continuously for more than half a month until every female giant monster bird lays eggs, and then they will stop this breeding behavior.
Well, it's a bit like a large party scene, and Link is a policeman with a gun, responsible for shooting on the spot those guys who are ruining the city's appearance.
When Link came to the place where he had encountered the strange birds before, the big birds had flown away, leaving a lot of their leftovers on the ground.
Those remains are the remains of shield worms. After the strange bird eats the shield worms, it waits for the flesh and blood to be digested, and then regurgitates the indigestible hard shells on their bodies.
These shells are hard and can be used to make some weapons suitable for beginners. Link thought about it and collected them, intending to take them back and sell them for some money.
After collecting the shield insect's shell, Link took out the insect cage and asked the guide insects to chase the giant monster bird.
Soon, the guide insects showed Link a clear path.
Following the guidance of the guide insects, Link carefully crossed the cliff and climbed the rock wall. While being alert to his surroundings, he also looked around for a vantage point suitable for sniping.
The defense capability of the giant monster bird is not outstanding, and the sniping power of the meteorite cannon is enough to kill it with one shot.
He needed a commanding position that would allow him to unleash the maximum power of the Meteor Cannon, while also ensuring that he could retreat safely after shooting.
Following the guidance of the guide insect, Link found the nest of a huge monster bird. It was a female bird that had just laid a few fresh eggs. It was lying tiredly in the nest to rest, and did not notice the hunter's arrival.
"Tsk."
Discovering that it was a female bird, Link shook his head, turned away, and looked for other targets.
In order to maintain the ecology, hunters usually do not kill female monsters that have just given birth. After all, without the care of their mothers, it is difficult for the little monsters to survive, and excessive hunting may lead to the extinction of certain creatures.
Although it is difficult for them to survive.
A big strange bird can lay 3-5 eggs at a time, of which about two or three eggs are successfully fertilized, and only one or two of these two or three eggs can be successfully hatched. You also have to be careful of all kinds of egg thieves.
(Egg thieves refer to hunters and bird snatchers)
So if the big monster bird can hatch one or two cubs at a time when laying eggs, we should be thankful.
The young birds that died prematurely should also be removed.
If adult giant birds had not been able to lay three eggs a year, this creature would have become extinct long ago.
Powerful monsters reproduce by strength, weak monsters reproduce by numbers. This is the ecology of this world.
Link and Chuchu wandered around the cliff for a long time and found the nest of another strange bird.
I met an egg thief here.
She was a girl wearing a Jumping Dog Dragon King suit, with emerald green scale armor. Judging from her attire, she was a two-star hunter.
The weapon on her back was a set of exquisitely shaped metal sword and shield, which was slightly larger than the one-handed sword and shield. Link could tell at a glance that it was a set of shield and axe.
A two-star hunter with a shield and axe, Link just thought this combination was very strange.
Because the shield axe is not suitable for novice hunters at all.
It does not require superb skills to wield like the katana.
However, its use is extremely complicated, so complicated that a novice hunter will abandon it within half a day and switch to a much easier greatsword.
If it weren't for a good teacher, Link wouldn't be able to use this weapon.
Charge, recharge, transform, sword form, axe form, open red shield, open red sword, refill bottle...
The complexity of its internal mechanism is no less than asking an elementary school student to solve a quadratic equation. Although it is not as complicated as advanced mathematics, it is impossible to master it without several years.
The two-star shield-axe girl was tiptoeing towards the nest of a giant monster bird.
From the way she stole the eggs, it was clear that she was a novice.
After all, what thief would steal someone else's child while the mother is at home?
Before she got close, the big strange bird that was resting in its nest woke up, raised its head and stared at her vigilantly.
"......" X2
The two confronted each other for less than three seconds. The big monster bird shook its head at the girl, and spewed out a scarlet fireball as big as a basketball from the depth of its throat, and threw it fiercely at the girl.
Faced with the monster's attack, the girl did not hesitate. She took off the sword and shield on her back and decisively met the attack with the metal shield.
"Fool."
Link and ChuChu Cat peered in from behind the cliff, watching the scene and commenting on it.
The fireball drew a parabola in the air and landed accurately on the metal shield. It made a crisp sound and exploded. The scattered orange-red liquid splashed on the girl's metal shield, making it instantly become hot.
"Wow, it's so hot, so hot, so hot."
As expected, using a metal shield with extremely strong thermal conductivity to defend against the monster bird's fireball is an extremely unwise choice.
The girl quickly screamed and let go of the hot metal shield in her hand, letting it fall to the ground.
"It's over. He even lost his weapon. This guy must be a fool."
Seeing the girl throw away the weapon in her hand, Link couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"For a hunter, your weapon is your second life. Even if you faint, you must never let go."
This was the first sentence Instructor Ni Tai said when he taught him how to hunt.
Without weapons, the hunter would be almost naked when facing the monster's attack, and was doomed to failure.
Therefore, a mature hunter will never give up his weapon.
"Close your eyes."
Seeing that the giant bird was about to spit out a second fireball, Link stopped watching and quickly ran out from behind the cliff.
He quickly took out a flash bomb from his waist and threw it at the face of the big monster bird.
"Ping!"
Along with the crisp sound of the flash bomb exploding, the sudden bright light disturbed the vision of the strange bird. Although the fireball in its mouth was successfully launched, it lost its accuracy, flew high over the girl's head, and finally fell under the cliff.
"go!"
Link did not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he bent down to pick up the girl's shield that had fallen to the ground, then he took her hand and ran away.
Link had already planned the retreat route long before he came. He took the girl and Chu Chu, turned left and right on the cliff path, and soon got into a crevice in the cliff that monsters could never enter.
Only after running here did Link let go of the girl's hand and returned her shield.
"Here, your weapon."
Looking at the silver-haired girl who kept panting, Link frowned slightly.
"This person's physical condition is too poor. He is out of breath after running a few steps. How can he have the courage to steal the eggs of the giant monster bird?"
