Beast Tamer: Hatching an Ancient Dragon at the Beginning - Chapter 34
Li Changan was startled and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
It was a big man who was about the same size as Duan Ben, wearing armor. There was still purple blood on the armor, emitting dark energy.
It was a hunter!
The moment he saw the big man, Li Changan was sure of his identity.
Before Li Changan could speak, the big man introduced himself:”My name is Wang Xiang, as you can see, I’m a hunter. I heard about you from my companions, a genius swordsman.”
Li Changan scratched his head”embarrassedly” and said:”I’m not that talented, it’s all the praise from my predecessors.”
Wang Xiang’s eyes twitched slightly, and he said helplessly:”There is no need for so many red tape among hunters. And remember to disperse the sword force in your body before you are humble next time, the effect will be better.”
Sword force?
Li Changan lowered his head and scanned his body, and asked:”I have released the Blade Breaking Strike, why is there still one? Is it obvious?”
Wang Xiang looked stunned, it seems that this young man is not pretending
“Lao Mu didn’t teach you the hunter’s���Skill?”
“No, after teaching me the advanced techniques of the sword, he let me practice on my own.”
In front of the union hut, Lao Mu was smoking a cigarette, and suddenly he sneezed.
“”A-choo!”
Lao Mu rubbed his nose, feeling like someone was talking about him.
“I seem to have forgotten something. Forget it. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”
Wang Xiang was speechless. It must be too long since this old man taught anyone that he could even forget this.
So he patiently explained:”To ordinary beast masters, the remaining knife force on your body is not obvious. At most, it is a little strange.”
“But in front of someone with a mastery of the art or a magical beast with a keen sense of perception, your sword will be a bit piercing.”
“If you encounter a powerful monster that is beyond your ability when you are on a mission, that would be really dangerous.”
Li Changan understood what Wang Xiang meant and asked curiously,”Are there any powerful monsters in the city?”
Wang Xiang obviously saw through Li Changan’s thoughts and warned,”Generally speaking, there are not, but there are some exceptions.”
“For example, it was integrated into the territory of Donghuang Kingdom at the beginning of the Great Cataclysm, and a powerful existence dormant in the secret realm”
“For example, fifty years ago, the massive earthquake in Suhe City, S Province”
“Was the earthquake caused by a monster?”
Li Changan was shocked, because the impact of this incident was indeed great, directly changing part of the terrain of S Province and the two neighboring provinces.
The official statement was that it was an ordinary earthquake, but it was unexpectedly caused by a monster.
Wang Xiang’s face was heavy, and he said in a serious tone:”It was caused by an ancient dragon. The Donghuang Research Bureau detected traces of an unknown ancient dragon underground and named it ‘Zhenyuan Dragon’.’”
Li Changan:
Is it really appropriate to tell me such a secret?
Wang Xiang restored his original image of a big brother and said,”Anyway, this matter is not a secret in the hunter circle, so don’t worry too much.”
“So, what on earth did you encounter to be able to comprehend such a sharp knife force.”
Li Changan pointed to the black-tusked wild boar that had not been dissected yet, and said,”Yes, the black-tusked wild boar and the wild boar king.”
Wang Xiang was a little surprised,”You killed them all? I see that your aura is only that of a level 2 beastmaster, isn’t the black-tusked wild boar king an extraordinary 3-star level?”
Extraordinary 1-3 stars correspond to low-level beastmasters 1-3 levels, and elite 1-3 stars also correspond to mid-level beastmasters 4-6 levels.
Therefore, Wang Xiang was a little shocked that Li Changan, a fledgling student, could actually fight across levels.
Li Changan explained:”The wild boar king was killed by my pet, and the other wild boars were killed by me.”
Wang Xiang:
Is there a difference?
“That’s amazing enough. It’s really hard to chop a thick-skinned monster with an iron knife without runes.”
Li Changan scratched his head,”Ah? I used a wooden sword.”
Wang Xiang was completely silent. Wooden sword?
His lips trembled, his eyes twitched a few times, and he said,”You won’t do what Old Mu said to fool you, right?”
“Is that a lie?”It was Li Changan’s turn to be shocked.
Wang Xiang patted Li Changan’s shoulder in dismay, as if he had recalled something from the past that he couldn’t bear to look back on.
“Listen to my advice. Experience is experience, but next time, remember to carry a knife with you, just in case.”
Then he took a step and ran away.
Li Changan wanted to ask something, but he looked at Wang Xiang running away, and his outstretched hand stood awkwardly in the air.
“Tsk, why is the little bastard running so fast? I won’t eat him, right?”
An old man appeared beside Li Changan, with gray hair, but a stronger body than most of the young people present.
Li Changan quickly stepped back a few steps and kept a distance of ten meters between him and the old man.
The people around him didn’t notice anything unusual here.
The old man said,”Little guy, what are you afraid of? I’m not a bad guy.”
Li Changan: Do bad guys say they are bad guys when they do bad things?
The old man sighed and took out a hunter badge with three silver stars engraved on it, proving that the old man was a 3-star elite hunter, stronger than his father.
Li Changan checked the number on the hunter badge and only let down his guard when he confirmed that the old man’s appearance was consistent with the hunter’s website.
He apologized to the old man,”Sorry, Mr. Lu Fengmao, I was just emotional.” Lu
Fengmao waved his hand, signaling Li Changan not to care about it, and said,”Keep this vigilance, you will live a long life in the future.”
Li Changan asked carefully,”Why are you here?” A
3-star elite hunter is a well-known figure even in Province Z, let alone in a small place like Hongyan City.
His current situation is that he exploited the loopholes in the organization’s rules, and was seen through by the boss of the organization from beginning to end.
This feeling can only be described as sour.
Lu Fengmao looked at the trembling young man with amusement and said the business.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to hold you accountable. On the contrary, I’m here to give you a surprise.”
Then Lu Fengmao explained why he was here.
It’s been a long time since hunter trainees have come to the Beast Taming Association to exploit bugs to complete tasks.
Once, due to a period of time when there were too many casualties among hunter trainees, the upper-level leaders of the Hunter’s Guild discovered this.
They wanted to fill this loophole, but were later stopped by others.
The reason is that the number of hunters is small to begin with. As a result, without the Beast Taming Association as a way to make money and gain experience, even fewer people are willing to endure the long preliminary preparation stage of hunters and become hunters.
So the Hunter’s Guild has another tradition, the old leading the new, but this old senior will not appear in front of the newcomers.
This is to ensure the effect of the experience and the lives of the trainees.
Whenever a student has enough ability and is not qualified to become an apprentice hunter, the instructor will timely point out the loophole in this rule.
Then this student will most likely not be able to resist going to the Beast Taming Association to take tasks.
As a result, old seniors like Lu Fengmao can be dispatched.
Generally, there are two situations in this situation , the student took a difficult task, then failed, and the senior saved the day.
After that, he would teach the students, and the students would study hard after returning until graduation.
Or if they chose a task of moderate or low difficulty and succeeded, the senior would appear, but there would be an extra step of teaching them a lesson.
After the students returned, they would maintain a habit of being cautious, but they would not be prohibited from taking tasks in the future.
Everyone was happy.
After this tradition came out, the casualty rate of hunter students was indeed reduced a lot, and the number of graduates was much higher than before.
Li Changan was protected by Lv Fengmao this time, and another reason was that there was too little fresh blood in Hongyan City.
The old people were bored again, so the situation of elite hunters protecting students appeared.
Generally, this link is performed by hunters with bronze 4 stars or above.
Lv Fengmao took out a small notebook and said while recording:”You are also honest. You really used the wooden sword the whole time when I asked you to use it. If it weren’t for your pet beast, you would have become a pig rice communist now.”
Li Changan explained stiffly:”Actually, I didn’t want to prepare the iron knife, because it wouldn’t give me enough pressure. The appearance of the wild boar king was also in my consideration.”
Maomao is his last insurance.
Lu Fengmao’s pen paused for a moment, because he recalled Li Changan’s battle and found that it was really like this.
“You are a restless guy. Forget it. With your current strength, if you don’t waste time, the low-level tasks in the city are not difficult.”
“After that, remember to prepare an iron knife. When you have time, go mining and collect some plant materials. When you pass the assessment, go directly to Lao Qin to build equipment, which can save a lot of time.”
“Don’t worry about the materials for the hunter’s initial set, the guild will prepare them for you. All you need to do is upgrade your initial armor and weapons to the quality of low-grade high-quality talismans when you become a hunter.”
