Lone hunters are not uncommon, and Li Fan saw quite a few of them when he first left Kara Village.
Of course, the tasks they perform are usually focused on gathering or defeating small monsters, and the difficulty rating will not exceed two stars.
Li Fan was thinking about his development path as he walked.
The first is the Poké Ball. This unique ability must be used well.
Once you catch enough and powerful monsters, your risk of being in danger will be greatly reduced.
The second step is to train yourself, master the secret of human body strength in the world of monster hunting, and learn various hunting moves that only exist in this world.
After three hours of traveling, the road gradually became steeper and the number of pedestrians we encountered also decreased.
On the contrary, the number of wooden warning signs placed by the Hunter Guild has gradually increased.
Goo! Goo! Goo!....
Hearing a cry, Li Fan followed the sound into the woods.
After digging through the bushes and not walking too far, we came to a pool of water.
Three ostrich-like blue-haired creatures were bending their necks to drink water, and the chirping sound was caused by them.
"It's Marudori! Meow!"
Dilu reminded in a low voice.
"Marutori is very timid. If it is frightened, it may lay a Marutori egg, and there is a chance that it will lay a golden egg."
Li Fan, who was lying on the ground and lurking, informed.
"Really? Why isn't it in my notes, meow..."
Dilu quickly flipped through the notes and found the page introducing Marudori.
"Dilu, I'll go straight up. If the eggs are frightened, help carry them to a safe place."
Marutori are herbivorous beasts and theoretically pose no threat, but if you want to obtain materials from them, you must kill them.
Li Fan has an extra plan to capture with the elf ball.
However, according to the introduction in the [Monster Illustrated Book], the capture success rate will only be higher when the monster is seriously injured and endangered, or is willing to do so.
Some strange types of monsters also require corresponding higher-level Poké Balls to capture.
"That's it...I will protect the Maru bird egg, nya!"
Di Lu was still a little behind the pace, but her attitude became serious.
However, while Di Lu was waiting to see the lone hunter Li Fan show off his superb hunting skills, he suddenly remembered that Li Fan didn't even have a weapon.
"Die to me!"
Li Fan ran out of the bushes at full speed and kicked Marutori on the butt.
The damage from this kick was not that high, but it really frightened the three Marutori.
Goo! Goo! Goo!....
Two of the Marutori fled in one direction each.
The one that was kicked stood there for a moment, and a watermelon-sized egg slid out from its buttocks.
Pulling out the hunter's knife, Li Fan had no moves at all and just stabbed him randomly.
He does not know the swordsmanship and knife skills used for hunting at all, and he is not equipped with corresponding weapons.
However, since there are no restrictions on fixed moves, he has the advantage of flexibility and speed, making Marudori unable to parry.
"It's okay... Meow."
Dilu picked up the egg and hid in the bushes. This was the first time he saw such a brutal hunting method.
Marutori, who had been stabbed more than twenty times and was bleeding profusely from his body, finally got rid of Li Fan by running fast after several maneuvers.
Li Fan, who raised his sword to slash and pursue, felt depressed in his heart.
He didn't expect Marutori, who was at the bottom of the monster hunting food chain, to have such tough skin and meat.
Even if a hunter's knife is sharp enough, the maximum depth it can penetrate will never exceed one-third of the blade.
Fortunately, the blood on Marutori's body became more and more abundant, and coupled with the burden brought by the sprint, the lame leg fell on the grass before running three hundred meters in the woods.
Gu... Gu...
The cry changed from the light and loud before to the scream before death.
Li Fan took out the elf ball he received early in the morning and threw it at it.
Marutori turned into a bolt of white lightning and was sucked into the Poké Ball.
Thumb! Thumb! Thunk!
The Poke Ball twisted a little restlessly three times, but in the end Marutori couldn't break free.
Li Fan wiped the blood on his hands with his pajamas and took out his handheld device to confirm.
【Marutori】Female (not named yet)
HP:14/120

Introduction: Bird dragons are herbivorous creatures that live in warm areas. They are very timid. Their wings are severely degraded and cannot be used for flight. They have good carrying capacity.
After being domesticated, it can be used as a mount when paired with a riding cushion.
According to the introduction of the "Monster Manual", the beast that is put into the Poke Ball will have a weak healing effect.
However, looking at the fluctuating blood volume, Li Fan felt that whether he could survive this wave all depended on the Maruniao himself.
He thought about killing it on the spot, stripping it of its materials, and then capturing a marutori.
Marutori's feathers, small keel bones, and animal meat also have some value.
But without a wild camp or a different-dimensional backpack, Li Fan had to carry these things by himself.
The journey has just begun, and he doesn't want to overload himself.
After washing by the stream, Li Fan hit the road again.
He has a fairly thorough understanding of the Monster Hunting game, but there is still a difference between reality and the game.
So while traveling, I was also looking for Dilu to complete relevant knowledge.
For these seemingly elementary questions, Di Lu only thought that Li Fan was conducting a knowledge assessment.
Since she was born in Kara Village, Dilu is familiar with several safe mushroom collecting spots nearby.
By evening, Li Li had picked 12 mushrooms.
As for dinner, a team of hunters did not strip the meat of the animals after killing a group of dog dragons.
Li Fan found a pile of stones and three tree branches nearby and made a simple barbecue grill.
"I heard that dog dragon meat is not very delicious, meow."
Under the light of the fire, Li Fan turned the barbecue and Di Lu sprinkled the spices he carried for seasoning.
"No wonder they don't want this kind of meat. It doesn't taste good..."
Li Li was still curious.
The meat of Marutori, Elven Deer, and Droopy Dragon was all shaved cleanly.
Only the dog dragon was left unattended in the wilderness. It turned out to be the reason why it was unpalatable.
Seeing that the meat gradually turned into burnt brown, Li Fan quickly lifted the branch with the dog dragon meat on it.
"Excellent skills! A hunter with good cooking skills will be popular wherever he goes, meow."
Dilu praised.
Under the quiet starry sky, one person and one cat sat beside the fire and began to enjoy dinner.
It's very woody and dry, and even if you chew it hard, you can't feel much meaty flavor.
Li Fan has never eaten such unpalatable meat.
However, traveling and collecting during the day takes a heavy toll on physical strength, so I have no choice now.
After swallowing a large chunk, I drank a little sweet stream water and felt much better immediately.
He took out his handheld device and found that Marutori's health had returned to 69/120, so he used the Poké Ball to release him.
The missing feathers and wounds were still obvious, but Marutori, as a monster that had been subdued, did not hold a grudge.
After eating some grass, he came to Li Fan, bent his slender feet, and lay down at his feet docilely.
