"It's appropriate, very appropriate. To be honest, there is no better opponent than the Minotaur."
With the Bull Killer skill, when facing the Minotaur, you can basically use special attack and special defense against it.
What else are you looking for if you have these conditions?
Is there any monster in the dungeon that is more suitable to be his opponent at this stage than the Minotaur?
No.
"So, don't worry."
The flames comforted the dejected Loki.
"I'm not... Never mind, that's it, I'm tired, let's go, hurry up, let me be quiet."
Loki opened his mouth, then lowered his head in frustration and waved his hands weakly.
Lieyan walked out of the door with a smile on his face. When he was about to close the door, Loki seemed to remember something. He turned his head and looked at him with a start, and said very seriously:
"Liehyan, if someone asks you, just say that this is your idea and don't mention my name."
The smile on Lieyan's face became even brighter.
"Do you think I can lie to Finn?"
“……??? You know?”
"Of course I know."
"I rely on!"
Loki rushed over, and Lieyan used the same trick to close the door.
thump—
A solid thumping sound.
The god, whose actions were completely predicted, fell to the ground with tears in his eyes, rolling over and over.
This is the second time, this is the second time!
Damn it! !
At this moment, the wooden door opened again, and Lieyan poked his head out and said:
"By the way, remember to keep your room tidy. If it's messy when I update the properties next time, I will clean it up with you like I did this time."
"Where are you from, housekeeper?!"
"That's it. Good night."
Lieyan closed the door with a smile, ignoring the sound of rolling in the room, stretched his body, and slowly walked down the spiral staircase to the corridor bridge where the tops of the towers met.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight pierced through the night sky in the east, and the sunlight fell all over, illuminating Orario.
In the corridor that was still shrouded in darkness, Lieyan squinted his eyes and looked towards the light.
On the right side of the line of sight, the chalk tower stood quietly between heaven and earth. At the foot of the chalk tower, adventurers came and went like ants.
The humans and demihumans who had been drinking all night long walked out of the tavern arm in arm, and then supported each other as they vomited out their filth, causing the passing elf adventurers to glare at them angrily. Some passing dwarves also pointed at the elves and laughed loudly at their mysophobia.
An orc supporter girl carrying a huge package passed by the scene without looking back. A middle-aged man who seemed to be her employer was stroking his chin, his eyes rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Farther away, a new adventurer with white hair was running forward with great energy, and disappeared without a trace like a rabbit.
Lieyan took a slow, deep breath.
Good morning, world.
……
Wait, it’s daybreak now, so it seems like I said goodnight wrongly just now…
How about knocking on Loki's door again and saying good morning to her?
Chapter 45: Five Days
"Mission completed. Next we have to wait for the guild members to come and collect it, and then we can go home."
The water flooded the forest. Lieyan looked at the flares rising into the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
Beside him, a huge dragon corpse, covered in mud and looking like a giant loach with four legs, with a total length of about fifteen meters, was lying not peacefully in the muddy water, its moist skin covered with clay and covered with various wounds.
Urgent mission: Danger in the Swamp completed, target Mud Fish Dragon, successfully defeated.
Mud ichthyosaur, in simple terms, is a kind of ichthyosaur monster that lives in muddy wetlands and uses the extremely sticky wet mud to catch prey.
Due to their habits, they are good at hiding themselves in the mud, with only a small part of their body exposed. They are very difficult to deal with for ordinary hunters, and it seems that no lower-level mud dragons have been found in the area around Yanhuo Village.
Guild evaluation, top, five-star monster.
"Lieyan, the materials have been stripped meow. I wonder when the guild members will come to reclaim the prey meow. I can't wait to go back and take a good bath meow. The smell of stinky mud is really terrible meow."
At this time, a Felynx cat that walked upright like a human jumped out from the body of the Mud Fish Dragon with nimble movements. This cow cat was equipped with a full set of blue equipment like a ninja, and carried a wooden baton [Sleeping Dog Dragon S Cat Baton] on its back.
Between its two front paws was a monster material that was even bigger than its body.
[Superior scales of mudfish dragon], [Superior fins of mudfish dragon], [Big water bag].
"The guild members should be here soon. After all, they are already searching for the missing guild investigator in the area of the flooded forest. Oh, they have sent out a signal and are not far from here."
A second flare rose in the sky. Upon seeing this, Lieyan immediately responded to his own Felynx.
"That's good, meow!"
Elu responded happily, then found the backpack that Lieyan had thrown aside, carefully cleaned the materials in her hand and put them into the backpack.
"Wang!"
"Onion wants to take a bath too, right? No problem, I'll give you one when we get back."
"Wang Wang!"
Lieyan, who was covered in mud, stretched himself and rubbed the head of Onion Dog, who was also covered in mud and walked to him.
To be honest, the hunting environment in the flooded forest is really terrible, especially in terms of the external environment, which is even worse than that in the lava cave.
Flowing water is still better, but if you encounter a muddy pond or swamp while hunting, it will be a real disaster.
Not only are these places muddy, but they also smell terribly bad.
For hunters, this smell is actually not that bad. Although it stinks, it is still within the tolerable range. However, for the Felynx and the Fang Hound, two creatures with extremely sensitive sense of smell, this smell is no different from a disaster.
Lieyan didn't want to come to such a place to hunt from the bottom of his heart, but there was no other way. The emergency mission had been assigned to him, so he had no choice but to make this trip.
And most importantly...
"With the points from this emergency mission, my hunter star rating should be able to be raised to five stars, Elu."
"Subjugating the sickle-weasel dragon king, subjugating the umbrella bird, subjugating the kappa frog, and subjugating the strange dragon, these are four official missions, plus this emergency mission that doubles the points, it is indeed enough to upgrade to five stars, meow."
"I didn't expect that the conditions would be met so quickly."
Thinking about his experiences in the past few days, Lieyan was quite emotional.
It had been five days since he had gone to Loki's night search to update his ability. During these five days, he had almost fallen into the same state of continuous combat as a certain new generation Ultraman.
The first task is to smooth out the ecological changes after the Night Walk of the Hundred Dragons - to defeat the Kamaitachi Dragon King and the Umbrella Bird that appeared near the abandoned shrine and affected the lives of the residents.
Then it’s time to defeat the Kappa Frog and the strange dragon that appeared in the Frozen Islands.
Including this time's mud dragon, Lieyan has now achieved the feat of killing one dragon a day on average.
Although this feat was achieved due to a variety of reasons, Lieyan's hunting speed is still beyond the reach of ordinary hunters.
It is even said that because of this incident, the name of Lieyan has spread beyond the area of Yanhuo Village...
World reputation +1.jpg.
And these continuous battles also successfully re-matched Lieyan's will and his strengthened body.
With his enhanced abilities, Lieyan is becoming more and more adept at fighting.
The growth in agility allowed him to predict the enemy's movements more quickly, and his reaction ability was almost doubled.
His growth in dexterity allowed him to control the complex shield axe more delicately, and fine-tune his movements during combat more easily. Even the speed of accumulating shield axe energy became faster, as if he was wearing equipment with a concentration effect.
Although the remaining attributes, durability and strength, have not been significantly improved due to the small increase in the strength of the flame itself and the huge base of the power of the flame itself, the magic growth is in a state of letting things take their course.
But to be honest, the effects of increased agility and dexterity alone are enough to surprise Lieyan.
Just like this expedition against the mudfish dragon.
He had never thought about being able to defeat someone successfully on their first meeting.
the reason is simple.
It is very common for hunters to see monsters change zones without any rules during the crusade.
Generally speaking, at least one-third of the time a hunter spends hunting monsters is spent tracking the monsters after they have moved to another zone. In the past, there have even been cases where a monster has moved to the farthest point in the entire area, and after the hunter has gone through so much trouble to get there, he finds that the monster has almost recovered from its wounds.
of course,
Hunters now try various methods to reduce this time.
For example, the hunters in the New World use the guide insects for positioning and the flying dragons for movement, and Lieyan himself uses the Fukuki Owl for positioning monsters and the Fang Hound for movement.
But no matter how many methods there are, it is still difficult to prevent monsters from changing zones. It can even be said that whether or not a hunter can be prevented from changing zones has become a criterion for judging whether he is experienced.
But it is different now. After the enhancement of the flame, the observation ability is enough to see the monster's intention to change zones, so it can use the flash jade and traps to stop the monster's actions in advance, thus achieving the effect of directly destroying the monster in one go without changing zones.
This bonus is far beyond imagination.
Chapter 46: The Mission of Jieyun Village!
"Oh~ Lieyan, you really completed the task successfully. Oh my, you are really good at it.
I recognize your achievements and agree that you can be upgraded to Hunter Level 5. In other words, you can ask Shuiyun to undertake five-star level missions.
Go ahead, keep improving, the future of Yanhuo Village lies in your hands! Uh-huh-huh-huh!"
"Welcome back. You are worthy of being called Lieyan. You have come this far with ease. I want to learn from you and strive to finish the work at hand more quickly."
In the meeting hall, Lieyan who came to report was warmly welcomed. Lord Sui Fengren and Shui Yun both congratulated Lieyan for successfully breaking through to the upper four-star level in just five days.
