While reading, I saw that late at night, Li Fan fell asleep on the bed.
Since the learning progress was so fast, I only practiced Ichimonzan on the second day.
Yu Shan also taught the horizontal cut, stepping cut, and cassock cut that can be used when courage is gathering momentum.
These attacks are derived from accumulating momentum, and the speed will be delayed compared to normal attacks. The advantage is that by striking with the sword, the courage gauge can still be accumulated.
As for the practice of rigid blade cutting, there are strong hunter headquarters who use heavy hammers.
But Li Fan still felt it was safer and asked Kuku to be his sparring partner when he returned to Kala Village.
In the evening, everyone in the research office was still working overtime.
I tentatively asked Todd about entering the top-secret archives.
The information in the other party's top-secret archives is of great importance and can only be accessed in accordance with the procedures.
Li Fan could only put his thoughts aside for the time being.
After all, the Skeleton Dragon was defeated jointly by Ryūryūin and the trade union. The only intelligence information that can be obtained is the Ancient Dragon Observation Observatory.
On the third day after arriving at the headquarters, I completed the submission of the carapace, joined Ryūryūin as a mid-level hunter member, completed learning the Tachi Courage style, and learned about the investigation progress of Tian Huilong.
Li Fan, who had lived a very fulfilling life, felt it was time to return.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he came to the forging workshop of the headquarters. Li Fan said that he wanted to buy a courageous sword.
The two El Catkin entered the warehouse and rummaged for half an hour, finally carrying a black sword covered with cobwebs and dust.
One of the store clerks, Elneko, tried her best to lift the sword to the side, while the other Elneko held the handle of the sword and slowly pulled it out from the scabbard wrapped with a purple striped rope.
Snap!
A burst of light blue electric sparks flashed! The slender silver blade slowly appeared.
Li Fan observed it for a moment and commented that it was a sword that looked very much like a sword.
The Jaw Blade Type 1 and the Shield Crab Tachi are of course also Tachi, but in terms of their rough appearance, they really do not have the sense of refinement that a Tachi should have, and the words "blade" and "sharpness" are completely unrelated.
The one in front of me is completely different. Regardless of the overall shape or the sharp and shiny blade, it is what a tachi should be.
"This tachi is called Zanpakutou Nya! It is a thunder type courage tachi. Due to too many casualties among courage style hunters, it cannot be sold at all. It is currently on sale at a discount, and it only costs 29999z."
The store clerk Eluma introduced it enthusiastically.
A courageous sword with thunder properties
Li Fan paid the money without much hesitation.
"Guest! This is a complimentary electrical bag and insulating gloves. When maintaining and charging, please hold the handle of the knife tightly and rub the electrical bag with the blade. It is best to charge the electric light on the blade."
"Thank you. Can I upgrade this Zanpakutō at my blacksmith shop in another area?"
Li Fan asked.
"No, meow. Although Ryukyakuin has already announced the design drawings of the Courageous Weapon, unfortunately the promotion effect is very poor, and the process is complicated. Currently, only the headquarters and the workshop of the Pioneer's Dragon-Seeing Ship can carry out the upgrade."
Store clerk Elma explained.
"All right."
Li Fan put on a scabbard strap on top of his armor and crossed the two swords behind his back.
After leaving the headquarters, I looked up at the many airships hovering above the airport, and an idea came to me.
Not long after, Li Fan led two cloud sheep deer, one male and one female, that looked like balls of hair and entered the headquarters again.
After showing the Ryuryakuin member medal and confirming the airship flight to be taken, he entered the roller-driven elevator and soon arrived at the airport.
Monster corpses were hoisted, hunters and crew members were moving cargo containers back and forth, and the airport was buzzing with people.
After Li Fan confirmed the airship number, he led two cloud sheep deer and walked onto the suspended suspension bridge to board the ship.
Dilu, who was sleeping on Yun Yang Deer's fluffy fur, realized that he was already on the airship and jumped to the deck to look around curiously.
This is a medium-sized cargo airship driven by blade propellers under the sides of the hull.
After placing them in the cabin, bowing, and driving the Yun Yang Deer to the animal cage, Li Fan returned to the deck again.
About an hour later, the cargo loading was completed and the airship slowly left the port.
Kara Village does not have an airport, so it will not be a stopping point for this voyage, but it will pass through surrounding areas on the flight route.
Li Fan leaned against the bulwark and watched for about half an hour.
It feels like the flying speed is much slower than that of the little fool, and it is not particularly cumbersome when turning.
If we want to talk about the advantages, it is much smoother than riding a little fool. The bumps are very light and suitable for long-term riding.
After fully understanding the performance of the medium-sized airship through the riding experience, Li Fan felt a little conflicted.
The speed performance of airships is poor, which is naturally a good thing for the safety of little fools at high altitudes.
If you can't catch up, how can you cause effective damage?
But at the same time, this also shows that the gap between the airship and the Sky Comet Dragon in terms of flight capabilities is not at the same level.
Two days later, the crew vigorously shook the giant copper bell on the deck, shouting that the area around Kala Village had arrived and asking passengers to leave the ship in time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
From the high platform steps on the side of the airship, hunters holding hang gliders jumped off one after another.
"Brother, is this airborne method really safe?"
Li Fan tentatively asked the crew.
"Of course, the casualty rate is very low. Do your Yun Yang Deer need to be connected in series with ropes?"
the young crew member asked.
"Okay, I'm done."
This is a new species that Li Fan brought back to the Woodland Ranch. Although it is also equipped with a small glider on its back, it is hard to say where it will float if it is not tied with ropes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Phew~~
Driven by strong winds, the hang glider opened in mid-air.
Alas, it's really not that dangerous, and it feels pretty cool.
Li Fan, who had a novel experience, saw the location of Kara Village on the ground, changed his direction, and flew away while drifting.
Hooray!
Daju, who was cooking, heard a loud noise from the roof, and countless tiles and boards fell.
Looking up, I saw a pair of legs moving on the ceiling.
"what's the situation"
Daju put down the frying spoon and as soon as he walked out of the ancient hunting base, he saw two Yun Yang deer connected by a rope falling to the ground smoothly.
Using the ladder to climb to the roof, Li Fan smiled awkwardly when he was stuck.
"Long time no see, Daju."
Returning to the woodland pasture, Li Fan put the two cloud sheep deer into the pasture fence.
When I arrived at the institutional research room on the third floor of the investigation agency, I found a lot of information about Dragon Slaying posted on the wall.
Eudora lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"It seems that Eudora is also preparing to repel the battle nya."
Dilu said, finding a blanket and covering the other person.
Li Fan learned from Da Ju that the Dragon Slayer he had witnessed was living in a large mineral vein near the village.
Although the threat level is not high yet, the labor union branch and the village defense team are still preparing for the worst.
The village is currently relatively stable, but the price of ore has soared three times.
Li Fan sat down and thought for a moment, feeling that this situation was indeed difficult to deal with.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon has a similarly cruel temperament, but rarely attacks humans without any reason.
Dragon slaying is different. The area awareness is very strong. Anyone who comes into sight is an attack target. When similar people meet, they have to fight it out with their tail blades.
If we carry out a repulse operation, it would be fine if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will be fine.
Zhan Long, who was exposed due to the pain, would definitely not give up until he wiped out all the creatures around him.
So even whether to attack or not is a difficult decision.
After Li Fan saw the marked location of the large mineral vein, he felt that the only good news was that it was far away from the villages and towns.
To have three of the Four Heavenly Kings visit in turn, Kara Village is really ill-fated.
Li Fan sighed in his heart.
As for the idea of trying to capture, of course he has it.
Although Zhanlong cannot fly, it is ridiculously strong in ground combat.
Li Fan felt that if he put on boots with higher fire resistance, he might be able to realize the possibility of joint combat on his back.
Although the ecological requirements environment is a bit difficult to deal with, after the capture is achieved, as long as you patiently explain that it was just a piece of Sky Comet Dragon carapace that fell in the ancient forest, you can definitely persuade it to turn back.
But there are also many problems to be solved.
First of all, Zhan Long has no ability to fly, and he tends to fight to the death in battles.
These factors are originally conducive to capture, but the combat effectiveness is too strong.
It is easy to be unable to defeat.
And if it's in a high-risk area, it won't be a big problem if Li Fan can't fight and run away. Anyway, it will have little impact on the chaotic ecology of high-risk areas.
As long as it is not the ancient dragon that is offended, even if the angry Zhanlong harms one party, it will not threaten the safety of the village or town.
The difference with this one is that if Li Fan fails to capture and escapes, the nearby Kala Village may disappear.
So his idea was to wait until the union was powerless and announced the transfer of all members of Kala Village, then he would give it a try.
Doing so will not conflict with the union's deployment.
Secondly, after the union's battle, Zhanlong's strength will also be weakened.
The possibility of third-party sightings will also be greatly reduced.
After deciding on the general idea, Li Fan sat down to write the plan.
But when it comes to identifying the main monster, I still have difficulties.
Logically speaking, there is no choice at all. Only Puff has the ability to deal with it head-on, but after thinking about it, it still feels not safe enough.
"Well, you and Dilu are back."
At this time, Eudora stretched her laziness and stood up from the floor.
"Yes, I just came back a while ago."
"Oh! You are also investigating Zhan Long, do you want to capture him?"
Eudora looked at the plan written by Li Fan and asked.
"I'm just thinking about it now. I'm mainly afraid that Puff won't be able to withstand it."
"Hmph, I've been investigating all night. Among the five-star monsters, there is only one that can compete head-on with Dragon Slayer."
Eudora said proudly.
"What is it?"
Li Fan asked puzzledly.
"Another slaying dragon."
"ah"
This answer left Li Fan speechless.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
Most monsters, whether cruel or not, will at least have a brief exchange with them when they meet.
In Dragon Slayer, they directly show each other's tail blades and start the contest by fighting each other.
As for the reason, ecological surveys speculate that it may be a competition for the ownership of large mineral veins.
Because the grinding and tempering of the surface of the dragon-slaying tail requires a large amount of chanchite.
The conventional ecological environment simply cannot meet the demand, resulting in a long-term state of unsaturation.
This is just like the same kind of creature, which needs an extreme resource to arm itself, so when two individuals meet in the wild, they will naturally only meet in life or death.
If we can capture a dragon-slayer and attack this one around Kara Village, with the help of me and other monsters, it will be a sure win.
"I think what you said makes sense, so we've decided on our next goal."
"It's Dragon Slaying!"
Eudora said excitedly.
"It's the Qiankuchosaurus!"
"Ah? Why?"
Eudora couldn't understand.
"Zhanlong is a five-star monster."
Li Fan asked tentatively.
"this"
Eudora suddenly thought that unless the joint hunting contract opened the recruitment, four-star hunters would indeed be unable to accept five-star hunting missions.
"But after going to the sand plain, if you accidentally encounter the Dragon Slayer"
Li Fan said meaningfully.
"I understand! Go take the mission now!"
Eudora said and ran downstairs quickly.
Looking at the plan on the table, Li Fan also felt a little adventurous.
However, all other concerns were gone.
As a high-risk area with no surrounding villages or towns, Sand Plains will not bring any burden whether it angers the Dragon Slayer or fails to defeat it and escapes.
According to the current configuration, the ability to capture advanced balls is considered a shortcoming.
But even if it doesn't work out, there is still a Diemsaurus that can be captured as a guarantee.
As for the reason for capturing the Diegalosaurus, the main reason is to make the monster lineup more comprehensive in terms of environmental adaptability.
It does not require strong combat effectiveness, but at least it must have sufficient self-protection and detection capabilities in extreme environments such as deserts and ice fields.
After a while, the hunting contract named Sunakami's Table Manners was taken back by Eudora.
"It turns out that Qianshuosaurus looked like this"
Eudora compared the monster images that Li Fan hung on the wall and looked at them.
"Well, this is a real dung monster. I chased it and chopped up the sky in the desert."
"Ah! That's the desert, 45 days of pursuit and hunting!"
Eudora was very shocked.
Because in desert areas where the living environment is harsh, it is very difficult for a lone hunter to survive alone for 45 days in the wild, even if he does not hunt.
"Yes, but he was still knocked down by it. He was pushed away while lying on a flatbed truck. His injuries also caused the hunting mission to fail."
Li Fan said helplessly.
Preparations for the hunt begin immediately.
If a hunter wants to be active in the sandy plains, he cannot do without a special cold drink.
Ice-cold mushrooms and ice crystals are both ingredients that can be used to mix cold drinks.
Sonic bombs also have a powerful effect on the submerged dragons lurking in the sand.
Since there was no shortage of money, material preparations were quickly gathered.
Next is the combat training for Zhanlong and Qiankoulong.
The idea given by Li Fan is not complicated.
When facing the Dialkosaurus, use goggles and a scarf to protect yourself from the wind and sand. If there are monsters on your side to help, you have a great chance of winning.
As for Dragon Slaying, you should run as fast as you can, first letting the opponent continue to consume physical energy in a furious state.
Once it stops chasing and wants to hunt or rest, it will continue to harass.
If you find that the Ceratopsaurus or the Boomsaurus are also active in the sandy plain area, you can also use the method of triggering a fight to inflict heavy damage on Dragon Killer.
Until the situation is at its worst, then launch a frontal attack on it.
Li Fan said above, while Eudora and Di Lu took notes below, asking questions from time to time.
The team prepared behind closed doors in the investigation agency for three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, when he came to check out the cat rice menu at the Maomao Roast Meat Shop, Li Fan saw the stir-fried onions with the legs of the Barbarian Dragon, which was said to improve fire resistance. He immediately ordered one according to the team's personnel configuration.
The chef takes venison very seriously.
He said that the last time someone came here to eat cat food was during the pas de deux under the moon.
Since there are too few hunter teams to eat, the store has not prepared it, so we may have to wait for a day.
Li Fan can also understand that considering the size of Kokot Village, it is already common for a team of hunters to come to eat cat food.
Kara Village probably doesn't do it many times a year, so Maomao Roast Meat Shop can't make enough preparations every day, so the time is scheduled for tomorrow evening.
Li Fan then came to the ancient hunting base and asked Yin Tie for advice on how to kill the dragon.
"When it comes to using tachi and big swords, Zhan Long is a good teacher."
Yin Tie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully.
“What does it mean to be a good teacher?”
Li Fan didn't quite understand.
"With some monsters, if you fight against them for a year, your weapon usage skills will not improve much. But Dragon Slayer is different. It may only take a few fights to make a qualitative change in your understanding of weapon usage."
Yin Tie explained.
"Ahem, why don't you focus on those hunters who lost the battle?"
Daju reminded.
"Do I need to talk about this? Li Fan has already decided to go on a crusade. He must have thought it through clearly."
Yin Tie said this, but still stretched his prosthetic leg forward.
"Teacher Yin Tie, how do you know?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
"You, Eudora, and Dilu have completed four-star missions one after another. Now you are the star hunter team in the village. Every move attracts attention. A few days ago, you even accepted a request to go hunt for the Dimensosaurus in the sand plains.
Mission, now ask me about my experience facing Dragon Slayer, no matter how stupid you are, you can guess your purpose."
Yin Tie explained.
"No wonder"
"Bring a few more rescue flares. If the union's ones don't work, use Longliyuan's ones, especially the local rescue team. Although a dispatch is expensive, as long as you have enough money, you will be able to face the problem.
Gu Long can arrive at the scene as quickly as possible and risk his life to take the wounded away."
Yin Tie informed.
"OK."
"Since you are here, I will teach you two moves. But before that, I have a request for your help."
Yin Tie stood up with his hands on the table, walked slowly to the wooden bed, and kicked out a square box at the foot of the bed.
Bang! The wooden bed collapsed sideways.
"What are you doing with this thing?"
Daju asked unexpectedly.
"Recognize the reality, say goodbye to the past, and live the rest of your life well."
Yin Tie said as he placed the square box on the table and opened the lid.
A super thick stack of documents is neatly placed inside.
"These are 16 special hunting permits, corresponding to 16 special individuals that have been discovered. You have just joined Longliyuan, and you are still an intermediate hunter."
Yin Tie stared at the blue medal on Li Fan's chest and said.
"Uh yes."
"As long as these special hunting permits are presented to Ryūliyuan, no matter who it is, they can immediately establish a hunting contract and obtain the exact current location of the special individuals. I think even if they have not made any progress, the simple ones should have been eradicated. I want
What is entrusted to you is given to you, and this is it.”
Yin Tie said, picking up the top one.
"Emberblade?"
"Well, it is a very strong dragon-slayer."
"This is too difficult."
Li Fan said in embarrassment.
"I can understand, but relying on myself to complete revenge is already a luxury. It's time for me to face reality. These special permissions are like inner demons to me, and I really can't bear to burn them, so I entrust them all to you.
, it’s normal that you don’t want to participate. When you meet a hunter who is determined to reach the top, just hand it over to him.”
Yin Tie said with a faint smile.
"Okay, I will fulfill my instructions conscientiously."
Li Fan said solemnly.
The two people and the two cats immediately came to the training ground at the door.
"Li Fan, when facing Zhan Long, you must first understand one thing. Its tail blade's slashes cannot be resisted by human power, so any parry must be initiated from the side, and the Penetrating Slash is no exception."
Yin Tie said, standing sideways.
"What if you confirm that you can't avoid it?"
"Still flying with the sword, rolling without center of gravity, no matter what method you use, just stay as far away from the tail blade as possible."
When Li Fan heard this, he thought that this response was practical enough.
"Are there any advantages to using the Courage Style Taito?"
"The courage style is right. Since you have joined Longli Academy, you will definitely choose to train the courage style."
Yin Tie couldn't help laughing.
"Sorry, I was laughing at myself and ignored what I should have expected. The Courage Style Tai Sword does have an advantage when facing Zhan Long, but it also dies faster. In actual combat, I only saw
I've been there twice, and the release of the Gang Qi Blade Slash left a deep impression on me. I still don't want to believe that there are such wild Tai Sword techniques in the world."
Hearing Yin Tie's recognition, and that there really is a hunter who can use his courageous sword to fight the dragon.
Li Fan's confidence immediately increased a lot.
"Let me tell you something that other hunters don't understand. Although I have hunted many Dragon Slayers, it is the monster I admire the most."
"appreciate?"
Li Fan thought this wording was a bit strange.
"Yes, Zhanlong fights with the belief that he will die every time, so even among five-star monsters, there are few who can match it. It cannot fly, and it has no tribe to rely on since it was born. There is only one
The tail blade is made and polished to be hot and sharp. Facing this kind of monster, if you don't fight it with the determination to die, you will be easily eaten."
Li Fan felt it for a while.
It seems to be saying that Zhanlong gained an advantage regardless of the cost due to his life-threatening nature.
If you don't treat them with an equal attitude, you may be at a disadvantage before the fight begins.
